Shock doctrine: Is May planning to ENGINEER a crisis, just to stay in power?

Theresa May: As dangerously insane as a supervillain like the Joker?

This is psychotic.

It is being reported that Theresa May is planning to “engineer a financial crash” to bully MPs into supporting her Brexit deal.

The idea is that, if she loses a first vote on her Brexit deal, she will encourage a crash in the financial markets – purely to encourage MPs to support her lame deal.

That’s right – it seems she is deliberately considering trashing the UK’s economy (more than she’s trashed it already, even), ending jobs (which were probably only part-time/zero-hours/limited contract pseudo jobs anyway) and curbing our already-limited productivity, for no other reason than to keep herself in 10 Downing Street.

It’s pure “shock doctrine” – as defined by the Urban Dictionary: “The strategy by the world’s economic elites of imposing an extremely neoliberal economic regime on communities they control, using some form of shock: a natural disaster, a coup d’etat, a war, a financial crisis, etc. Once the community has been crippled by this first shock, the economic “reforms” [embodied in this case by Brexit] are imposed suddenly, creating a secondary blow.”

It is also despotism – deliberately inflicting suffering on the citizens of the UK in order to stay in power corruptly.

This Writer has little reason to believe that Conservative MPs have the moral backbone to understand why this is wrong, let alone stand up against it. The DUP – the Tories’ partner-in-crimes-against-the-people for the last year and a half – may withdraw its support, though, and the other parties should never accept it.

So it may never happen.

But the fact that it has even been suggested means it could – and that is a horrifying admission in the country that is home to the “Mother of Parliaments”.

    It is a sad reflection on the current state of the Tory party that hardly anyone would be surprised.

    If this is true, then noone should be Prime Minister if they deliberately damage their own country’s economy.

    The report in today’s paper (I forget which – Times?) that troops are being placed on alert, lends weight to rumour. Also, I have wondered for a couple of months whether she may be
    preparing to use part 2 of Civil Contingency Act 2004 (Emergency Powers) if people become restive around April 1. This was possibly inspired by her (or advisers) reading up on emergency law after the Grenfell tragedy.
    Do have a look at the relevant text – it is virtually a despots charter.

    Tories will do anything, …anything at all just retain their nasty evil grip on power.

    If they do engineer a collapse it is perhaps little more than beaching a sinking ship. While governments and central banks may have the power to bring about a collapse at a time of their choosing it doesn’t mean they have the power to stop one at a time not of their choosing. After such a collapse they could lose overall control because nobody can dictate the course of turmoil, and other models for society could succeed theirs.

    I’ve wondered a while if it’s a psy-op to make us believe a collapse is of their doing to imply they control it, to deter other movements from rising to fill the economic, political and social vacuum, to miss our chance for change and leave them still in charge.

    There are some, Financial organisations, who have been laying out claims of a World Wide Financial Collapse for the past 6-9 months. This starts in the USA, as did the Financial collapse of 2008.

    (1). This time round on the merry go round of Capitalism’s failures,its seen as a Crash in American Pension Funds.
    Money & Markets FLORIDA

    (2) The demise of the Euro we are told is only months away, in the main due to Italy being in Financial turmoil.
    ” I believe Italy must leave the euro to recover. Just as nations had to leave the Latin Monetary Union in the 19th century. And the rouble zone in the 20th century. And the currency snake in the tunnel. And the European Exchange Rate Mechanism” Capital & Conflict 20th November 2018
    Capital & Conflict is the mouth piece of; Southbank Investment Research Ltd.

    Italy is not only attempting to resolve its Economic Problems, by leaving the Euro, but it is also extremely interested in how our Brexit deal works out and if we get a favourable deal then the rest of the EU FEAR Italy will take the plunge.

    Because of what I have posted up above my belief is that if there is a collapse it will be EU wide lead. This then gives National EU nations to also create Shock policies to avert the extreme right from making political progress. Whilst at the same time imposing an extreme right wing economy under the guise of saving individual States from the uncontrollable extreme right.
