No, IMHO it quietly became irrelevant. Then slipped out of the City's control.

Another spanner.
Not only are they still relevant, they are the core entity of the City of London.
What, pray tell, is the East India Company DOING? What INDUSTRY. Or, what FEES.
The British East India Company was basically a quasi-public operation, a mix of corporatist and statist forces and officers. They grew and exported tea. They imposed order on the Indians - most of their social structures date from the Raj years.
East India did all that, but what are they doing NOW?
The same and worse, just under many more layers of darkness. Here's one example (or many). Every intelligence agency is a division of the EIC.
The Poms have had such a scheme/scam for many decades now. It used to be a token amount that was supposed to be the funding mechanism for the BBC. But like any other socialist crapshoot, there was no way to opt out as they assumed everyone had a TV. What made it worse is that they increased the price substantially when streaming BBC content became commonplace.
They control everything...just that we don't see it.
Like Clif High's aliens.
Or Q.
Color me unconvinced. I've learned a lot in the last ten years and I'm sure that's just a fraction of what I need to know...but I have to see it. The way we saw the hand of Fow Chee working government healf agencies; how we saw the stats rigged, the facts hidden, the naysayers destroyed.

Departure of trailblazing US Army in Europe and Africa chief sparks uproar directed at Hegseth
Backlash grows as Gen. Christopher Donahue’s early retirement sparks debate over Army leadership changes and Pentagon decision-making priorities.
That's exactly what they said just before starting every communist revolution that's ever happened.
They just end up making everyone equally poor.
Dubai is what ya get when polishing a turd.
I thought Dubai was amazingly safe...
AI Overview

Dubai is a remarkably safe city for tourists and residents. Violent crime is extremely rare, and you can comfortably walk the streets at night. However, recent geopolitical volatility in the region has caused unpredictable travel disruptions.

And we're about to go down that road. Again.

They'll call it a conspiracy... til it's not!
OK let's clear up some confusion I see out there.
Every day, across my feed, since the UK Rape Gang Inquiry Report came out, I see comments along the lines of,
"I don't understand why the British Royal Family just doesn't seem to care about this, why our upper class Royals just can't be bothered to try to fix this!"
What if...
Big thought experiment based on a radical concept here, but just go with it for a minute, OK?
WHAT IF...
...that 'British' Royal Family isn't **really** British?
What if instead of being a BRITISH Royal family, the 'House of Windsor' is actually a very old, very PROUD and very GERMAN/PRUSSIAN cultic family?
The basic thought control that you keep running into like a wall is that the 'British' Royal family wouldn't allow/encourage/plan/enable the raping over 250,000 of 'their' young British girls.
What makes you think any member of the GERMAN Royal Family looks at ANY of these victimized British girls as being 'their' fellow countrymen?
England - like the US - was infiltrated a long, long time ago. By outsiders who came in with an agenda, and assumed power while NEVER becoming real Americans or Brits. It is an insidious cult.
They value their ethnic identity above ALL ELSE, the public 'nationality' they wear is a DISGUISE they used to FOOL YOU.
The members of this cult, whether they are running Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Australia, or the U.S. or the UK, **do not have any loyalty or love for 'their' own country.**
This is WHY they can do what you are starting to see, all the EVIL SHIT they do to 'their' own fellow countrymen, whom they 'love' and whom they are 'serving' in public office.
They or their grandparents or their great grandparents move to the target country, never really assimilate, they go with an AGENDA, to undermine, to sabotage, to weaken, in order to gain control and then exploit.
The members of the cult that moved to America with that agenda rose to the highest levels of our US government and in many key states. The members of the cult that moved to the UK with the same agenda also rose to power.
Infiltration from within has ALWAYS been their way. You open the door and they walk through it and they take over.
This is how "British lords" can engineer this rape gang policy in the UK and not only look the other way, but cover it up.
This is how 'American' politicians can do the vilest shit to 'their' own fellow Americans on a 9/11.
This is how "Israeli' leaders can do a Oct. 7 to 'their' own people and sleep like a baby at night, on top of all the other vile shit they to everybody in that region.
THEY LIVE AND MOVE AND CONTROL AMONG YOU BUT THEY ARE NOT OF YOU.
Their higher loyalty is to the cult.
To make this scheme they've been using continue to work, they must AT ALL COSTS maintain the ILLUSION that they are duly elected national leaders just implementing 'the will of the people'.
That is, and always has been, a sick farce.
America isn't the only country where they install cult leaders using rigged elections. They've been at this for a long time, and are very practiced at it.
Now, for no reason whatsoever, look at this picture again. What did he just tell them?
Why does Bolton look lost? Macron and Trudeau are in shock. Merkel is looking at Trump as if he's insane.
Why did they have to kill Abe? Why did they try several times to kill Imran Khan and Bolsonaro before removing them?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SCHEME THE INFILTRATORS HAVE BEEN RUNNING ON THE WORLD TO KEEP IT WEAK, BROKE, AND IN THE DARK IS EXPOSED?
From DARK to LIGHT.
Nothing can stop what is HAPPENING.

Nixon's Revenge: Trump Just Ended the Kissinger Doctrine — And Britain Knows It
Susan Kokinda argues that Vice President JD Vance’s Nixon Library remarks about a “deep state” targeting Nixon and Trump point to a deeper fight over U.S. foreign policy: an American tradition of ending wars versus Henry Kissinger’s British “balance of power” doctrine of managing conflict. She links Eisenhower ending Korea and stopping the 1956 Suez seizure, and William Rogers’ post–Six-Day War comprehensive peace proposal, to Trump’s Abraham Accords, contrasting them with Kissinger’s rise after Watergate, the collapse of Rogers’ plan, and renewed Middle East wars, including Lebanon’s descent into civil war after Kissinger-era maneuvering. She highlights April 14, 2026 talks involving Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors with Secretary Rubio and a June 26 trilateral framework for ending the conflict. Kokinda also cites June 23 White Sands directed-energy tests and Trump’s January 2025 “Golden Dome” order as reversing Kissinger’s ABM/MAD legacy and pushing U.S. industrial revival toward assured defense and lasting peace.00:00 The Monday Brief - Nixon's Revenge: Trump Just Ended the Kissinger Doctrine—And Britain Knows It - June 29, 2026

Imagine having a Wepubwiccan pResident, who then refused to investigate, prosecute, or undo any of this. Or other, existential threats, such as the destabilizing effect of 40 million illiterate invaders being placed in Red States.
You don't have to imagine it. That's where we're AT.
The problem is not the letter behind the name. The problem breaks down along class and "education" (indoctrination) lines.
We have the Political Elite Class, who are filled with indoctrinated, irrational self-loathing, which they then project onto those who look like them but are not in their social groups. Then we have the Non-Political Middle Class, who work and pay for all this destruction. And who are targeted by the Elites for destruction - as a group force, and literally as a demographic.
All politicians are actors...didn't Ronnie Reagan teach you that?
It depends on your definition of "actor." Is the dingbat barmaid reading a script, pretending to ideas of which she has NO insight or opinion? Hay-ell, yes.
Is she a Central-Casting type of actor? Not really. That's probably her real name and SSI on the documents the Deep State operatives helped her file.
Now, Musk. HE is saying that because he knows this is what many in the former Republican Party...BELIEVE. He's running to the the head of the stampede, so that he can pretend to leadership.
This after becoming the first trillionaire - out of GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES AND CONTRACTS (no, subsidies for Tesla purchases, is not a legitimate way to make your fortune...it's Corporatism).
I wouldn't make too much of that.
Nixon didn't trust the Italians, either. He said, in one un-redacted section of his tapes...about "The Italians...they look different, they smell different. They're not like whites."

The did is that Reagan was an actor by profession who later went on to become POTUS.
AOC on the other hand, became a representative by BECOMING an actor.
She auditioned for the people who paid for her campaign.
She didn't talk politics so good while serving drinks that a groundswell of local support welled up and propelled her into office.
It was nothing of the kind.
Edited to add: there was a documentary about it posted on GIM2 not long after she was elected that laid it all out in detail.
You were there then, so I'm bettin' that you saw it too.
Yet you'd have us believe that Jews are in control of literally everything.
Been hearing that for years from you and others.
So what now? They "let" AOC and others win?
Seems their power might be a wee bit questionable if they can't even beat socialist idiots.
The whole Sump of Gnu Yuck is just a cesspool of failed Marxist idealogy...
The smart ones, the thinking ones, have variously, left, or are taking steps to soon GTFO.
AOC is controlled opposition, just like Bernie, but if they get out of line like Ron Paul or Ted Massie, they will be eliminated...Hopefully not like Charlie Kirk when he did.
We are no way near enough to throw off the masters yet.

Which is better -- to be ruled by one tyrant 3,000 miles away or by 3,000 tyrants one mile away? -- Rev. Mather Byles (1706-1788) Does it really matter if the instrument curtailing liberty is a monarch or a popularly elected legislature? This conundrum, along with the witty version of…

In case you're still wondering - you shouldn't be at this point, but just in case you are still wondering - why Newsom rushed out to do that tearful impromptu press conference about a week and a half ago where he claimed he and his wife are targets of a federal grand jury criminal investigation, and he babbled this was only happening to him because of a 'weaponized' Trump DOJ coming after him in 'retaliation' because he intends to run for President in 2028?
The AG who must have signed off on this informant wearing a wire had to have been Merrick Garland.
This investigation started under the Biden administration.
Which opens the door wide to ALL KINDS of interesting questions, doesn't it?

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican·
Replying to @BillClinton
Hello Mr. Clinton,
I'm not going to extend to you the courtesy that your paragraph about lawfare extends to Trump supporters. Because I've studied enough of you, to know what you are truly about.
You were President during the post-Cold War sugar high. I have it thoroughly documented that you and your administration met with George Soros frequently, and in short term changed your policy positions to fit whatever George Soros proposed.
Which was: continuous military intervention all over the world. Starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia. You were the original neoconservative. Madeline Albright used "open society" phrasing in communicating your foreign policy documents. You are a part of the long string of failures of nation-building in the name of democracy, the Western interventions that resulted in millions of mass migrants overwhelming our borders, artificial famines, and us building the infrastructure that enabled China to take over the Africa continent and extract African resources for themselves.
But. Most of all. Those of us -- and there are a good deal many of us -- who have been ruined by lawfare.
@GenFlynn
sacrificed everything.
@JeffClarkUS
has had his life ruined and is still rebuilding. At the end of the day, only one President has been the subject of repeated assassination attempts and eighty-plus indictments - and it's President Trump. Not anyone in your orbit.
Seriously, Bill. What do you think when you see that a Democrat gets indicted by a grand jury, and a judge inevitably overturns that indictment on grounds that nobody has heard of? "Oh wow the judges are so wise and saw right through a jury of peers! And that wisdom coincidentally happens to always fall on party lines!" Give me a break.
Every single one of us on the right-wing side knows that when your side regains power, your side will turn the full might of lawfare on us. You will cheer on mass incarcerations. You openly brag about that. You even toe the line of threatening to jail current military members if they don't refuse orders from Pete Hegseth.
You are the evil one here. You cheer on the burning of our cities. You cheer on lawfare of Republicans. You never apologized for the millions of lives disrupted all over the world. You never say a word about the billions or even trillions of dollars that have been robbed by your friends through corrupt NGOs.
The fact that none of you are in jail, proves that we are the powerless ones here. You're just afraid that someone sees you for you who are, and you secretly know that image is ugly.

MAMDANI PANIC: His Bitter July 4th Attack on Musk Backfired — Then Trump and Vance Buried Him
Barbara Boyd argues that recent speeches by President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance offer an antidote to communism, socialism, and what she calls Democrats’ targeting of Gen Z and millennials through a counterculture shaped under Obama and Biden and teachers’ unions. She describes escalating attacks on Trump’s planned Freedom 250 celebration, including musicians withdrawing, blue states refusing to join the Great American State Fair, a Patriot Front march, and Chatham House commentary highlighting U.S. “fault lines.” Boyd highlights New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s July 3 City Hall speech criticizing inequality and “oligarchs,” including Elon Musk, and notes online satire in response. She then recaps Trump’s Mount Rushmore remarks defining American liberty, culture, self-reliance, and patriotism, and Vance’s New York Harbor speech invoking Washington, the Declaration, and builder Henry Kaiser.00:00 The Monday Brief - MAMDANI PANIC: His Bitter July 4th Attack on Musk Backfired — Then Trump and Vance Buried Him - July 6, 2026
