Is Government corrupt & our country dying?

When Governments Make Themselves the Enemy:
We may dislike the Truth, but we need it, so the things I say may not be to your liking, but they are necessary for our People & Country... Perhaps you heard them before but regarded yourself as special, and immune to the hardships of life... However, thanks to Governments and their Agencies, our Children are becoming strangers in their own Home, and residents of His Majesty’s Prison and local Graveyards.

We see devious crimes being committed against friends, families and children, but even if we can make a good difference, we choose to do nothing, although this will make us accomplices to the wrongs, and deemed to be just as guilty... Locally & internationally, Governments make themselves enemies of the People, when, instead of helping, they use their offices & positions to hurt, harm, and hinder.

Leaders break the Laws of God, Man & Nature, under the influence of Greed, Selfishness and Envy, so they may enrich themselves, and allow a tiny minority of 5% to own 90% of the Wealth, while the 95% majority struggles to share the remaining 10%... Now, even this is under threat from AI & Robotics who seem designed to replace the Brain & Brawn of the majority... I wonder where we fit in this equation?

Some may argue that Nations across the world, always operated in this corrupt manner, but they should note that these Nations are now hastening their own demise, even if they choose to reject reality, & live in denial... Centuries ago the UK fell down from her Empire/Kingdom to become a Poodle for her American Colony… Today, that same American Colony is in disgrace and falling from her Worldwide dominance,

The events may be centuries apart, but they still share the self-righteousness and determination to inflict inhumane and unfair treatment on others, with the willful intent & knowledge that it would benefit the few at the expense of the many... From infancy we were programmed to be simple & docile, whereas, they saw, Racism as their life’s blood, Might meant right, and the oppressed would never stand up for Justice.

Avoiding the Pitfalls of Slavery:
We are a mere speck, but we were programmed to act like giants when following bad actors... We now know better, and it would take a fool to believe that the UK really cares about our People, when most leaders are fully aware that she feels no such obligation... She has her own problems, and the COI process was just to ensure that we will not add to her financial burdens, and increased Taxation.

She once occupied Colonies across the World, but is now ready to exile these same Peoples to Rwanda for landing on her soil… Meanwhile, we look to America, as a special friend or great warrior who will rescue us… However, history reveals her real desire, and we have no Natural Resources to attract her... Our only possession is a limited life span, with the obligation to pass on our knowledge to those behind.

I tried, and some 20 years ago I erected a Sign berating Greed, Envy & Selfishness, and while we overcame some hurdles, some have worsened, and the battles continue… We still live in a Democratic World where Government is in control, but this requires every movement of the System to be fueled by Taxes, which are only sourced & generated by & from, the blood, sweat and tears of the Private Sector,

Subsequently, this means that if the Private Sector grows then Government grows, and if the Private Sector shrinks’, the Government shrinks... Unfortunately, Government seems not to understand this, so they have placed the Cart before the Horse, similar to Trump failing to understand that Tariffs are real Taxes on the People… Perhaps, their solution is Corruption or the secret selling of our People & Country.

There is already a real & growing fear that Government is doing exactly that, without us being aware, and we may better understand this by reflecting on the Methods & Objective of the Transatlantic Slave Trade… Over the years this Free & Forced Labour moved from Agriculture to Industry, to Robotics & AI; but the Objective of Labour being the production of Goods & Services to be used by Man, remains fixed.

Failing Ourselves or Flipping the Script:
By being in control, Governments can assist or hinder this process; both knowingly or unknowingly... Trump’s endangering this process to the extent where Companies are fleeing, is no secret... However, the ways in which our Government affects the process by destroying the Private Sector, may be less evident… In both cases, like in Slavery, they are destroying the Production & Progress of the People.

The present US Economy is being downgraded by every serious Economist, and based on what I heard from you, and my own experiences, we are already facing our own trickledown challenges... We may choose to play & pray as much as we like, but as a Nonindustrial Territory, our hit will be far worse, and there is no exaggeration in saying that this could be equivalent to a combined Covid-19 & Hurricane Irma.

Logically, we could, and should be preparing, but with so much confusion, there is a feeling that we may be too late or not know where to begin, and the efforts would be a waste of time... I disagree, and will begin by reminding you that the Private Sector is the Engine of the Economy... If you agree with this, then the 1st step towards a solution is to determine how Government is affecting these Income Generators.

From most reports it would appear that they are doing a bad job, and their actions seem more intent on destroying Employers, without caring or realizing that this may mean destroying themselves... This destructive program has been existing for so long that it often seems like a coordinated effort between Politicians, Registrars, Labour Department, Immigration and some favoured or selected individuals.

When the Problem is the Solution
While it entails the shuffling of Employees between friends and family, that is minor compared to the actions by Government and its Agencies, in maliciously taking away workers from Private Employers... This is even more stressful & damaging when these recruited Employees are required to be registered before applying for a Work Permit, and the Registrar is on sick leave, vacation or just can’t be located.

During the course of time, Labour will send you every useless & handicapped person that they don’t want for themselves, and in this way, it is habitual for them and other Government Agencies to waste over a year, while they slow process these New Registrations and Work Permit Applications... By the way, don’t be too surprised if they try to handicap and micromanage your business by rejecting your application.

After all this you are lucky if your business is still alive... If by chance the Employer finally succeeds, then it’s time for Government to pull out their special skill, and they are good at this because they have been practicing it for many years... They are now ready to break their own Laws by taking away the Employee for themselves... No wonder we have more Aliens within Government offices than real BV-Islanders.

Meanwhile, without a vibrant Private Sector to support Payroll Taxes, Social Security and NHI, they are headed for bankruptcy, with some already almost 6 months behind... Now think about which Bank or Landlord would allow you to owe them for 4 months... Of course, the Politicians and Civil Servants will never admit to being the ones who are corruptly wrecking the System and bankrupting the Country.

They are quicker to find devious ways to sell the Country and Futures of the Children, while collecting their massive Pay-packets... Many of you know what I say is true, because you heard my warnings about USA’s Trump and the UK’s Leadership... They are headed for Recessions, just as Social Security and NHI are in meltdown, and unless we change, Children of Today may never become adults of tomorrow.

    If it were just the government was corrupt, we may have had a chance, but damn near the whole territory is CORRUPT. That's why there is no one to save us, we have to save ourselves. Please read the biblical book of REVELATION, it explains it all. Prepare for the 2nd Exodus!

    Yes. It’s corrupt and dying. Most of the HOA have been under investigation, suspected of criminal wrongdoing. Nothing new

    If they ain’t already corrupt when they get in they corrupt, Sowande and Lorna selling out the country to financial services leaders aka the yt men from away.
