⚠️ Blackrock targets British farms in 7 steps🇬🇧
Yesterday UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the British economy could only grow with the help of massive private equity firms like BlackRock, who have a reputation for being aggressive, monopolistic and extortionate. This is how BlackRock could do considerable damage to British family farming in 7 easy steps:
1. They will start buying up small plots of agricultural land at double the normal price. They will issue a directive to all of their energy companies simultaneously to aggressively acquire plots for carbon capture. These third parties will start bidding against each other and force the value of agricultural land up.
2. Initially farmers won't believe their luck - “These city folks are mad! If they want to buy an acre for £50K, who am I to say no to these fools,” is what you'll hear down the pub.
3. These crazy prices will set record high comparisons for agricultural land. When a farmer dies, their farm will be valued using these new metrics and the next generation will discover the farm they thought was worth £3M is worth £9M and they don't have anything close to the money needed to cover the tax.
4. In swoops a BlackRock subsidiary with a "Agri Debt Finance Tax Relief" product to lend them 20% the "value" of their farm so they can pay the taxes.
5. The debt will come with conditions (a covenant) that the farm has to adopt and maintain certain practices. It has to use certain BlackRock owned fertilisers, software, machinery and labour solutions that get the farm ready to interface with a larger conglomerate.
6. When a farm cannot make its debt payments, it is sold at auction. BlackRock subsidiaries are instructed NOT to buy these farms at auction. They have a special arrangement to buy the unsold farms at a rate that covers the unpaid debt plus outstanding fees and taxes to government... basically what the farm was originally worth.
7. A BlackRock subsidiary then takes over the farm, consolidates it with a massive group of farms that uses illegal immigrant labour to staff the farms (which will be another government program they institute to deal with the immigration crisis). The government will subsidise the labour costs as part of this plan making the farms wildly profitable and making small family farms unable to compete.
To anyone unfamiliar with the mind of a Private Equity General Partner, this will seem totally far fetched. To anyone who's had even the smallest dealings with the private equity world, you will recognise this as a standard playbook for extracting value at a large scale. Mark my words, save this post and watch it all play out.

British General says Army 'ready to fight' Russia as WW3 fears skyrocket
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1979612/ukraine-war-britain-ready-to-fight-russia-ww3-tensions
The British Army would "fight tonight" should a new war in Europe erupt, a senior military officer said.
"I don't think anybody in this room should be under any illusion that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe tonight, then we would meet them in that fight."
"We're not at war, but Ukraine certainly is, because Ukraine has been invaded by Russia, and that war has now been going on for just over 1,000 days.
"That's 1,000 days of aggression from Russia and 1,000 days of sacrifice for Ukraine, and that is why we've said consistently that we stand by Ukraine. We cannot allow Putin to win this war."

The Surface of Venus!
Venus is enveloped in a dense, impenetrable atmosphere that’s opaque to visible light. To map its surface, we rely on radar imaging (right image), as radio waves can penetrate the thick atmosphere and reflect back to give us a view. On the left, we see images captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe using the WISPR instrument during a close flyby of Venus. These images showcase the planet’s night side and were taken in the near-infrared range, allowing us to glimpse features beneath the clouds, revealing hints of the planet’s rugged landscape.

"Project Alchemy’s proposed schemes spanned every conceivable field of warfare, from cyber attacks to “discreet operations” to outright terrorism. The secret cell even put forward a plan to “aggressively pursue” and “dismantle” independent media outlets – including The Grayzone – through an aggressive campaign of legal harassment and online censorship, so they “would be forced to close.” The incendiary blueprints were fed to the highest levels of the British state and national security structure, where they were apparently well-received."
