Cairngorm Capital – The Kiss Of Death

On By JacIn Corruption, Globalism18 Comments

This is a follow-up to my previous piece on the collapse of Consumer Energy Solutions Ltd (CES), owned by Cairngorm Capital. I suspect CES will be followed by linked companies that have also been taking advantage of the UK government’s ECO4 scheme, due to end in March.

Even before the scheme ends MPs are calling for an investigation into the shambles into which it degenerated. Demanding the Serious Fraud Office be involved.

Cairngorm is a private equity firm using leveraged buyouts. In other words, borrowing money to buy companies, loading the debt onto those companies, bumping up their value, then getting out as quickly as possible with as much loot as they can.

A business practice many regard as unethical, even a form of asset stripping.

◊

QUICK RECAP

Here’s the group of companies we’ve looked at in earlier posts.

Cairngorm’s arrival was soon followed by loans or Security Accession Deeds with Alter Domus Trustees (UK) Ltd. Which is in turn owned by Alter Domus DCM (UK) Ltd.

A Security Accession Deed is a legal document used to add new parties—such as borrowers, guarantors, or lenders—to an existing security trust deed or loan agreement.

Following the ownership trail brings us – according to latest accounts filed with Companies House – to the Eighth Cinven Fund. Cinven is another private equity firm.

This fund raised $14.5bn. Here’s the Cinven website. Most of the money came from pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. For example, $280m from New York State Common Retirement Fund. A further $167m from California State Teachers’ Retirement System.

It all links up when we see that Alter Domus is listed as one of Cinven’s ‘portfolio companies’. Cinven has offices across Europe, but prefers to be based in, and subject to the easy-going regulations of, Luxembourg and Guernsey.

BlackRock may even be involved.

Alter Domus, the leading global provider of tech-enabled fund services for the private equity, real assets and private debt sectors today appointed Mark Wiseman as Chairman. Mr. Wiseman is the former Head of Active Equities and Chairman of BlackRock’s Alternatives Business, as well as President & CEO of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

All that said, the latest accounts filed with Companies House by Alter Domus DCM (UK) Ltd tell us what you see below:

Cortland is based in Chicago. Which might explain Alter Domus US LLC. Also involved, and mentioned in this 2017 article, is Permira Funds. This latter entity is ultimately owned by Permira Holdings Ltd of Guernsey.

That’s enough links!

So . . . these Welsh companies pocket lots of money from the ECO4 scheme, get involved with Cairngorm Capital, and more money is pumped in from God knows where.

Which could mean that the pension fund to which Minnie Schwarz, retired teacher of Indian Falls, New York State, belongs, may have been used to do Mrs Jones’s cavity wall insulation in Llansamlet.

Cos it’s a small world.

◊

A LITANY OF ENGINEERED FAILURE

The first link in the chain after our local boys is obviously Cairngorm. And given that these Welsh companies are either already up Shit Creek or heading at full-speed in that direction, I decided to look at other companies with which Cairngorm has become involved.

Mindful of what I found on the Cairngorm Linkedin page.

Going through the Cairngorm website I turned up this list. So, naturally, I checked out these companies.

First, Bromborough Paints. And it’s quite an interesting tale.

Let’s start with this report from October 2022, telling us that Bromborough Paints had got involved with Cairngorm in March 2021. Then, after takeover, it rebranded to Paintwell.

And there were loans taken out. With Cairngorm acting as security agent.

Bromborough Paints had been in business for 60 years. The last accounts before the involvement of Cairngorm show a gross profit of £5.9m (Net profit £1.06m) on a turnover of £16.9m. And total equity of £12.4m.

Finally, Paintwell went into administration and was taken over by Brewers Decorator Centres. It’s alleged there is £30m in unsecured creditor claims.

‘Unsecured creditors’ are often redundant employees, local suppliers, the little people, not institutional lenders.

∼

Next it’s Building Supplies Online Ltd. If it’s this company, then it was dissolved in September 2023. Though this article from June 2025 mentions CMO Group Ltd, also in Plymouth. CMO began life in June 2021 with a share issue of £50,000.

Against CMO there are two outstanding charges with Clydesdale Bank.

Not sure what’s going on here but, rather like some women I’ve known, it don’t look good from any angle.

∼

Moving on to E-Zec Medical. (CH entry.) Where, by a long and tortuous ownership route (maybe a dozen companies!) we arrive at Emil W. Henry Jr of 717 Fifth Avenue, Suite 12a, New York, New York, United States. He took control in February 2025.

So who is he? Well, I found this:

Mr. Henry is the CEO and Founder of Tiger Infrastructure Partners, a private equity firm focused on infrastructure investment opportunities. Prior to founding Tiger Infrastructure Partners, he was Global Head of the Lehman Brothers Private Equity Infrastructure businesses, where he oversaw global infrastructure investments

Here’s the website for Tiger Infrastructure Partners.

Along the way, while chasing the ultimate owner, I noticed loans from Glas Trust. A name that’s cropped up on this blog more than once. Control of Glas Trust probably rests with yet another private equity firm, Levine Leichtman.

The most recently filed accounts for EZEC do not paint a healthy picture.

∼

No 4 on the list is Grant & Stone Group. Which Cairngorm took over in November 2019. And things looked good, expansion followed.

Grant & Stone is now owned by Cairngorm Capital Partners III LP. I got that from the most recent accounts filed with Companies House, up to 31.12.2023. Companies House is still waiting for the latest accounts.

There are, predictably, two outstanding charges with Alter Domus Trustees (UK) Ltd.

I suspect Grant & Stone is another one about to bite the dust.

∼

Next up is Independent Builders Merchants Group Ltd. Here’s what Cairngorm has to say. Though it needs updating. Again, two outstanding charges with Alter Domus Trustees (UK) Ltd.

At the time of writing, the accounts are overdue with Companies House.

∼

Now we move on to MRO+ Solutions Group Ltd. This began life in December 2017 as Cairngorm Acquisitions 5 Bidco Ltd. It’s now owned by two-year-old Zinc Group Topco Ltd. Though ownership ultimately rests with Martin Green.

MRO is now losing money, and there are of course outstanding loans.

∼

Millbrook Healthcare is the next stop. Bought by Cairngorm in 2019. At the top of the Millbrook ownership pile is Millbrook Healthcare Holdings Ltd, owned by Cairngorm Capital Partners LLP.

To my untrained eye, this is not a company in good financial health.

∼

Fasten your seatbelts as we look at National Timber Group. This report from just last November might explain where we’re going. However, it seems there was a very recent ‘rescue’ by a Welsh company.

But don’t get carried away, because top of the ownership pile here seems to be National Timber Group Topco Ltd. Owned by Cairngorm Capital Partners II LP. With accounts overdue with Companies House. The most recent accounts filed (y/e 31.12.2023) show turnover dropping and, after returning a small profit in 2022, a whopping loss of £22,738,3045 in 2023!

∼

On now to Sentry Doors. Sentry Doors Holdings Ltd was Dissolved in July last year. Though other companies in the group, such as Sentry Fire Safety Group Ltd, seem to retain the semblance of life. Though I’m not convinced.

Not clear which is the top company, but I am sure that everything is ultimately owned by Cairngorm Capital Partners II LP.

∼

The next entry is Verso Wealth Management. Things seem to be chugging along quite nicely. Though I’d watch for the two outstanding charges with Glas Trust.

∼

The penultimate case study is Whyte Bikes. Here’s the website.

This company was owned by Cairngorm until very recently, then sold to Irish company Causeway Capital. This entry below, listed under ‘Post Balance Sheet Events’ on the most recent accounts suggests the association with Cairngorm was not to Whyte’s advantage.

There are four outstanding charges, two with Cairngorm. So don’t build your hopes up.

∼

Finally, a comment to my blog directed me to this Linkedin post. It’s worth reading. As are some of the comments. Not least because it gives us yet another company with which Cairngorm Capital has been involved. So let’s check it out.

The company is Customade Group Ltd. Dissolved at the end of 2019. I suggest the name to focus on among the directors is Neil Andrew McGill. Here’s his Linkedin page. And here he is getting a special mention from Cairngorm in December 2018.

McGill is now Group CFO at Verso Wealth, which we looked at just now.

Note the four outstanding charges. Two with Cairngorm.

∼

So there you have it. The companies Cairngorm gets involved with are rarely unalloyed successes. In fact, there may not be one success among them.

There’s more chance of finding someone in the WRU hierarchy who understands rugby, and knows something about Wales, than there is of finding a Cairngorm success story.

But then, it all depends how you gauge ‘success’. Somebody, somewhere, is making a packet, but it won’t be the workers at the companies getting shafted by Cairngorm. Nor the small local suppliers left with unpaid bills.

ASSET MANAGEMENT & PRIVATE EQUITY

The financial world in recent decades has seen the rise of those who make nothing, grow nowt, contribute little to the wealth of nations, but become extremely rich, and politically powerful.

I’m referring to asset managers, most of which are US based. The Big Three being BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street. There are many, many others, like Alter Domus and Emil W Henry Jr.

They invest pension funds, personal savings, sovereign wealth funds, and money from other sources, with only one intention – making money. Which may be good news for Minnie Schwarz in Upstate New York, but is often bad news for those at the other end of the chain.

Which always seems to be us.

And while Cairngorm may protest they don’t invest in “distressed companies“, the companies they invest in soon end up in that state.

As for Consumer Energy Solutions, I’m convinced that what happened there couldn’t have been done without the cooperation of some of the directors at CES and the wider group.

So while I support MPs’ call for the Serious Fraud Office to look into the abuse of the ECO4 scheme, I also believe we need our own investigation in Wakes into the collapse of Consumer Energy Solutions and the behaviour of the wider group.

Focusing in particular on certain prominent individuals.

Buy Me A Coffee

Here We Go Again!

On By JacIn Globalism26 Comments

For all sorts of bizarre and complicated reasons I thought I’d lost my blog. But after a few frustrating days over New Year I finally managed to salvage it. So here’s bit of a ramble to kick off 2026.

◊

TONY BLAIR, EDUCATOR

Some of you were a bit confused by the clip I used to accompany notice of this piece. I’m referring now to what I put up last Thursday on X. What you see below. Let me explain.

You may remember that about 30 years ago prime minister Tony Blair decided that 50% of young people should have the opportunity of higher education. What a wonderful idea! No, not really. Not when you think about.

To achieve this target A level grades and university entrance standards were lowered. Polytechnics became universities. And with the massive expansion of higher education people were taken on as tutors and lecturers who just weren’t up to the job.

Inevitably, academic standards fell. But that didn’t matter. Because the expansion of higher education was done for reasons that could never be said out loud.

So now half the 18+ population was rounded up and penned in to be ‘informed’, ‘influenced’ or, if we’re to be honest – brainwashed. To be brought around to a certain way of thinking and looking at the world.

That was the main reason for the expansion of higher education. And there’s nothing new in this. As this post on X from a few days ago reminded us.

The alternative was to have them leave school and get a job, where they’d work with people who’d experienced life, and held too many of the ‘wrong’ views. The real world, where they might settle down, have children . . .

But the UK economy can never provide jobs for a 50% graduate population. Maybe somewhere like Singapore can do it, or countries with expanding economies, even Gulf states where menial jobs and manual labour are for fixed-contract foreign workers.

But not the UK.

Which meant that at the end of their three years at university young people emerged having studied Racism and Patriarchy in The Simpsons, or Theoretical and Applied Marxism, expecting £70,000 a year (to start), a nice pad, and an endless round of Glasto and dinner parties with enlightened beings such as themselves.

So when they ended up stacking shelves at Tesco they was mighty pissed off.

Those who did find jobs paying reasonable salaries very often found those jobs with NGOs, ‘charities’, pressure groups, third sector bodies, or in politics. Making nothing, generating no wealth, creating no jobs, and adding nothing to society.

But associating with people sharing and reinforcing their ‘values’. And building bubbles insulated from the common herd and the real world this underclass inhabited.

All paid for with someone else’s money. Usually yours, through government funding. Cos decolonising them hateful Welsh cakes don’t come cheap.

Which resulted in the UK (and other Western countries) having a large segment of the younger population poorly educated, devoid of any practical skills, with nothing to offer an employer – but politically brainwashed.

Young people animated by feelings of moral and intellectual superiority, even narcissism, but feeling cheated and resentful because their talents are not properly rewarded by the world into which they’ve graduated.

For them, the reason for their lack of recognition in a declining economy and an increasingly fractured society had nothing to do with their own limitations – it was all the fault of the evils they’d been taught to watch out for and to combat.

Giving the Globalists and their Marxist allies the foot-soldiers needed to further the economic decline and the social divisions desired in order to bring about the demise of Western civilisation.

◊

MAKING WAVES

Something I put out on X last week got a lot of hits, about 35k at the time of writing, so, after some digging, I’m going to expand on it.

First, let me say I’m indebted to the source that sent me the information that set me to digging. I won’t mention names, but you know who you are, so thank you.

What my source picked up was that a company based in Cornwall had received over £2 million from our wonderful, and self-styled, ‘Welsh Government’. To be exact, two million and one pounds. Here’s the clip I was sent.

You’ll see that the name of the company is Inyanga Marine Energy Group Ltd. Naturally, I went to the Companies House (CH) website and looked into the filings for this outfit. Here’s the entry.

Despite the front page describing the company as ‘Active’, it does in fact file as dormant. Wi’ nowt in t’kitty. Though in fairness, the most recent filing is for 2024. Though it suggests that empty coffers is not a new thing.

Seeing as we’re looking into wave energy it seems appropriate to describe this company as a shell. An empty shell.

Here’s a list of Inyanga shareholders. No mention of ‘WG’, and no names I recognise.

Despite this state of inactivity there is a website. And the company has had coverage in the media. That report I linked to in the Falmouth Packet says:

Inyanga Marine Energy Group, based in Penryn, has tasked Hutchinson Engineering with constructing its HydroWing tidal energy device.

The 20 MW HydroWing tidal energy array will be deployed at Morlais, off Anglesey in Wales

Which directs us to another company, HydroWing Ltd, giving an address in Gaerwen, Ynys Môn. Again, there is no mention of a loan from the ‘Welsh Government’. So was the two million smackeroos a grant?

Anyway, I turned to the CH filings for HydroWing Ltd. And found a further two companies of that name! The three are, in chronological order of formation: HydroWing Ltd (30.03.2017); HydroWing Tidal Projects Ltd (10.10.2022); HydroWing Tidal Projects 2 Ltd (16.04.2024).

All give their correspondence address as ‘M S Parc, Parc Gwyddoniaeth Menai, Gaerwen, Ynys Môn, United Kingdom, LL60 6AG’. Also known as Menai Science Park.

Though HydroWing is not listed as a tenant, or even a ‘virtual tenant’, yet Inyanga is. But why list as a dormant company in Cornwall when there are three HydroWing companies giving Companies House the Gaerwen address?

It gets a little more confusing (sorry!) when we try to track the ownership. The oldest HydroWing company is owned by Inyanga. The middle one by Sangoma Energy Projects Ltd of the same address. The latest by Richard James Parkinson.

Sangoma Energy Projects Ltd was formed as recently as February last year. The two directors, and owners, are Richard James Parkinson and a woman I take to be his wife.

Confused? I am.

Let’s briefly turn to the financial situation of these companies. Inyanga, as we’ve seen, files as dormant and with no cash. Here’s the statement for the oldest HydroWing at 31 January 2024. Rather uninspiring.

Here are the shareholders. Some of the same names we saw with Inyanga, with the Parkinson family well represented. But the largest shareholder, with over 1,600,000 shares, is Inyanga itself, the dormant company we started out with. Owned by Mr and Mrs Parkinson.

Based at, Unit 3 Penstraze Business Centre, Penstraze, Chacewater, Truro. Another ‘virtual office’.

The ‘middle’ HydroWing files as dormant with just £100 in the kitty.

The ‘youngest’ is too new to have filed accounts.

All the companies we’ve looked at are Private Limited Companies (as opposed to Public Limited Companies). Which raises the issue of the accounts available with Companies House being so far behind.

For Public Limited Companies normally have six months to file their accounts after the end of their accounting period. Private Limited Companies (and Limited Liability Partnerships) usually have nine months.

But for some reason the Parkinson companies have twelve months, and seem to take every day of it. Accounts for the three HydroWing companies using the Gaerwen address are due with CH by the end of this month.

But even so, it’s difficult to see any Welsh benefit from this money. We seem to have a family-owned Cornish company that’s realised how much money is available in Wales by pushing the right planet-saving buttons.

For to refer back to the piece in the Falmouth Packet . . .

The foundation frame will be partly constructed at Hutchinson Engineering’s factory in Cheshire, with final construction taking place quayside in Wales.

That’s this company. Owned, via Modernuser Ltd, by Dean Drinkwater. A man mighty ‘close’ to Labour – and a fan of both Starmer and Miliband!

The more I dug into the two million quid gift (from us), and its recipients, the more of a rodenty sort of smell assailed the delicate nostrils of my fine – and oft remarked-upon – Roman nose.

There is summat not right here. Looking forward now to reading the next accounts.

MEANWHILE, ACROSS THE POND

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, or relying on mainstream media for news, you’ll know that over in the USA the arrangement between the Globalists, their Democrat party puppets, and their corrupt immigrant allies, is being blown apart.

News coming out of Minnesota makes it clear that Democrat politicians at the highest levels encouraged Somali fraudsters to steal billions from federal funding with all manner of scams. With much of the money going back to Somalia to fund the Islamist terrorists of Al Shabab, even being flown out of Minneapolis-St. Paul airport in suitcases stuffed with cash!

At the rate of a million dollars a day!

The rest of the loot went on luxury homes, jewellery and Rolls Royces for the fraudsters; with millions more going into the campaigns of the Democrat politicians who’d encouraged and covered up the theft.

With some of the loot I’m sure going to ActBlue, the Democrats machine for funding the ‘spontaneous’ protests we see across the USA.

Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. The situation is even worse in California, New York City, Chicago, Michigan, and other places.

Where do the Globalists fit into this picture?

What we see with the widespread abuse of federal funding in the USA, linked with Net Zero deindustrialisation and open borders, is part of the wider agenda to wreck Western economies and societies. To impose decline and encourage despair. To the point of total collapse; when the Globalists will step in to ‘save’ us all with Digital ID, CBDC, censorship, curfews . . .

Fortunately, the Trump administration is taking action.

Of course, the left shouts ‘Racism!‘ and ‘Islamophobia!‘, because whether it’s women with penises or polar bear numbers, the left is averse to facts.

The mainstream media either ignores the story or else targets the messengers, such as twenty-two-year old Nick Shirley.

But this exposure has resonated across America, and is doing the Democrats great harm. Because if you’re a hard-working, tax-paying citizen; black, white or Hispanic, US born or an immigrant through the correct channels, you know you pay too much tax, and when you see that money being ripped off like this, you get angry.

The Democrats were tanking in the polls before these videos went viral, before the evidence emerged, before Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he was pulling out of the gubernatorial race; and so only ballot rigging in the states they still control can save the party from complete wipeout in this year’s mid-term elections.

That the Trump administration understands how the Globalists operate was evidenced by a measure introduced recently that’s had little coverage in the Mainstream media. What a surprise!

Family homes for hard-working, tax-paying, US citizens. How it used to be.

Take 15 minutes to hear in the video below what else Trump is doing to loosen the Globalist grip on the USA. For him it’s about sovereignty, freedom from international bodies that restrict nations’ ability to serve their national interests, and their peoples.

Who can disagree?

It’s done through international ‘agreements’, corruption, money-laundering, and support for, and from, some very unpleasant – but useful or compliant – ‘leaders’.

The Globalists want total control and ownership of everything you think you own, or might want to own. Which explains why BlackRock and other ‘asset managers’ are buying up private homes.

And who do you think will be getting those homes? Well, the future is already playing out in the Globalist colony of Ireland.

You remember what the World Economic Forum (WEF) promised us: “You’ll own nothing, and be happy“. Well, it’s a-comin’.

But only if we allow it.

By happy coincidence the head man at the WEF now is Larry Fink, who just happens to be the CEO of BlackRock. (What are the chances of that happening by accident!)

You must remember Larry, he was over in London not long after his creature Starmer was – for reasons that will ever elude me – elected to manage the UK on the Globalists’ behalf. What a welcome he had!

He came just after, or maybe it was just before, ‘Dr’ Bill Gates of Covid vaccine fame.

Having received his orders to run down and destabilise the UK, to remove freedoms, and to favour certain groups, Starmer has spent the last year or so obeying.

He may even subscribe to the Globalist agenda, but just in case . . . they’ve got the goods on him. And it’s much more than three Ukrainian rent boys, duckie.

Fundamental to the Globalist agenda of destabilising and undermining the West is anti-white racism. This will take many forms. A favourite is to demand ‘reparations’ by pretending that only white people ever practised slavery. Or that only white people were ever colonialists. To disprove both I suggest a cursory study of Islam.

But then, the Globalists are in league with Islam. And Marxism.

That insane ideology that has always failed in practice and is now reduced to an intellectual exercise in the avoidance of truth and reality for embittered losers in academia and elsewhere. But whose suicidally empathetic devotees can be relied on to march with placards and slogans (both ready-made) attacking the institutions of Western civilisation.

So thank God for Trump and the USA.

But as I keep telling you, the rolling back of Globalist plans in the USA means that the focus turns to Europe. And that includes Wales. You think I exaggerate? Just look at the muppets in the Senedd, and then image 36 more of them in May! Or look at the quality of our MPs.

Both virtue signalling SMs and posturing MPs are interested in anything but the real world concerns of 90% of Welsh people. Just feigning interest before elections.

◊

CONCLUSION

I’m coming around to the way of thinking that says the system we live under is too corrupt, too far gone, to be reformed. Too many institutions from the monarchy down have been captured.

We need a complete change. We need a revolution. From the bottom up. For the working class is the last redoubt of patriotism and common sense. (Which explains why it’s now reviled by Marxists.)

I’m not suggesting guillotines, firing squads, or violence of any kind. Just turning our backs on the existing system. Refusing to participate in the charade of electoral politics, rejecting corrupted authority, and creating alternative structures and systems.

As might be done by the population of an occupied country in which the elite had thrown in its lot with the occupier.

The alternative is to let Larry Fink and his mates win, and let their ‘progressive’ puppets introduce you to the joys of twenty-first century, hi tech serfdom.

Tidings Of Unease And Foreboding

On By JacIn Globalism, Russia25 Comments

This is the last posting of 2025. I just wish I could be more optimistic. But the lunatics have taken over the asylum and it looks like they might burn it to the ground.

◊

WAY BACK WHEN . . .

As he left office in January 1961 outgoing US President Dwight D Eisenhower (R) warned against what he called the “military-industrial complex” (MIC).

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.

Eisenhower’s successor was Democrat John Fitzgerald Kennedy. For failing to use US troops for an invasion of Cuba, and for refusing to sanction the war the MIC wanted in Vietnam, JFK was assassinated.

Kennedy said many things. But let’s remember that he wanted to, ” . . . splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds”.

For by the early 1960s the Central Intelligence Agency had become a law unto itself, allied with the MIC; free of political oversight, forming its own foreign policy, and acting independently both at home and overseas.

Perhaps they got a taste for it in 1953, when they helped MI6 overthrow the democratically-elected nationalist prime minister in Persia, Mohammad Mosaddegh. Handing all power to the Western puppet whose excesses led to the 1979 revolution and the return of Ayatollah Khomeini.

Interestingly, that revolution saw socialists and Islamists combine to overthrow the Shah. The comrades were soon gobbled up by the tiger they were riding.

To explain . . . the military-industrial complex is an alliance of US corporations involved in the production of armaments and other military necessities aligned with with gung-ho generals (aka ‘The Pentagon’) and the agency that is supposed to monitor and counter overseas threats to the US homeland.

The collective term often used is the ‘Deep State’.

For these people, and as Tom Paxton sang in Daily News:

Ban the bombers are afraid of a fight
Peace hurts business and that ain’t right

At its simplest; war is good for corporate business, it wins gongs for generals and admirals, while sociopaths in Langley VA can bring about the next war through false flag operations, propaganda, or whatever. Or they can while away the hours organising regime change hither and yon.

We see them exposed in Kubrick’s 1964 masterpiece Dr Strangelove: Brig Gen Jack Ripper, good ole boy Maj ‘King’ Kong (who unforgettably rides the bomb), Col ‘Bat’ Guano, Gen ‘Buck’ Turgidson.

◊

THE WORLD TURNS UPSIDE DOWN

The military-industrial complex was largely a creature of the political right, as was the CIA. Democrats, and liberals more generally, opposed their machinations.

But as the USA suffered financial crises, moved factories overseas, the once-mighty auto industry struggled against foreign competition, with the advent of computers and the internet, the face of American capitalism changed. And with it, political influence.

We had a new generation of multi-billionnaires, many of whom can fairly be described as geeks, but with the power to influence the thinking of the masses. This was coupled with the rise of hedge funds and asset managers, who made nothing, they just invested other people’s money to enrich themselves and gain immense political power.

Without getting in over my head, or risk being called a conspiracy theorist, the Deep State soon realised the power of the new media and the new money. And began co-operating with both.

But there was a slight problem. The geeks and others tended be more liberal in their outlook than the CEO of arms manufacturer Kill All Commie Bastards Inc. They gravitated towards the Democrats rather than towards the Republicans.

I believe there was an uncomfortable accommodation with the new oligarchy that saw the Deep State become for a period bi-partisan, and now, bizarrely, closer to the Democrats than the Republicans.

In fact, those in Donald Trump’s administration talk openly of dismantling the Deep State, defunding it’s money-laundering NGOs and other agencies, and putting an end to the ‘forever wars’ on which the military-industrial complex thrived for decades.

Perhaps even doing away with ‘The Fed‘. Which was set up by bankers to serve bankers. Now Trump wants the US economy to serve the people by concentrating on the ‘real’ economy.

What a novelty!

Big Money is not happy. That includes the City of London. Explained in this video.

Then again, considering that the Deep State sought to imprison him, perhaps even assassinate him, you can understand why Trump’s not too well disposed towards it.

Because the internet is global, and so is money, the new elite often sees a world without borders. Through this mindset, plus their co-operation with supranational bodies like the UN, WEF, Club of Rome, they attracted the soubriquet ‘Globalists’.

The Deep State can go along with this because while Microsoft or BlackRock want to unite the human race like that old Coke advert, they remain US corporations, extending US influence.

◊

THE NEW ALLIANCE IN OPERATION

The Deep State-Globalist alliance now extends its malign influence across the Western world; done through converting/subverting elites, funding educational establishments, buying media, and thereby corrupting countries.

When BlackRock CEO Larry Fink visited London last year to give Starmer and his crew their orders he was presented as a successful businessman, and a ‘good guy’; as opposed to Trump and his associates who – thanks to a media largely controlled by Fink and his ilk – are the bad guys, the ‘far right’, even fascist.

For as we are reminded after every Islamist atrocity – by that same media – the biggest terror threat to the West comes from ‘far right extremism’.

The next element to join the Deep State-Globalist march to ultimate power was the left. Feeling low after the collapse of the Soviet bloc, and China abandoning the centralised economy model, socialists were at a bit of a loose end.

But the impulse to destroy the capitalist West, demolish churches, and unite the global proletariat remained.

Which chimed perfectly with the Globalist vision of a world controlled by them with no competing loyalties such as family, nation, or religion.

And so the most absurd ideas of the revamped left were encouraged. Women have penises, white people (particularly men) are dangerous, boys are girls and girls are boys, secure elections are racist, while religion is a pernicious evil from which mankind must be freed . . . but Islam’s just fine.

For in its assault on the West the Globalists also needed Islam, but there weren’t enough Muslims here to really pose a threat. So from 2016 or so Europe was told to open its doors to hundreds of thousands of ‘refugees’, people escaping war and persecution. (Wars often started by the Deep State.)

The same thing happened under Biden (or whoever was running the USA).

But the over-arching scam used to weaken and demoralise the West through deindustrialisation, and employed to control human behaviour, while also being used to grab land and other resources, was the ‘Climate Crisis’, and the carefully orchestrated hysteria over carbon levels in the atmosphere.

Both now exposed as utter bullshit.

◊

HOW THE EU FITS

From a Globalist perspective, the European Union represents the future model they’d like to impose on the world.

To begin with, at national level, voters are offered a ‘choice’ from establishment parties and politicians that answer to the Globalists. Parties and politicians that don’t toe the Globalist line are persecuted.

We saw this with Trump under the Biden administration, we see it Europe with Marine le Pen banned from standing for the French presidency, moves to ban AfD in Germany, the demonisation of Reform and Farage, elections and referendums being re-run from Romania to Ireland until the ‘right’ result is achieved.

Politicians from these Globalist-approved parties are elected to the European Parliament. Where they are ultimately impotent. The President of the EU Parliament since January 2022 is Roberta Metsola. You ever heard of her? Nor me.

That’s because the EU is run like the old Soviet Union. The Parliament is a talking shop. Decisions are made by the politburo, which in the EU is the Commission. Headed by the unelected Ursula von der Leyen. You’ve all heard of her.

Which means that some 450 million people are effectively ruled by one woman that nobody voted for – but she’s a loyal Globalist.

This explains why another Globalist puppet, PM Keir Starmer, who has done so much for Ukraine (especially its young ‘male models’), is taking the UK back into the EU, step by step.

Because those are his orders.

◊

BUT HOW DOES IT END?

Globalism is cornered, but far from defeated.

Having its grip on the USA loosened by President Trump, and with Latin America turning against them, it was inevitable that the Deep-State-Globalists would focus increasingly on Europe.

But this side of the Atlantic don’t look a whole lot better for them.

Their puppets are reviled, especially those leading the three major European economies. (With Italy less and less willing to obey EU diktats.) ‘Insurgent’ parties head the polls in France, Germany, and the UK. Countries in the east are in open revolt against the EU over immigration and funding for the war in Ukraine.

As the BBC reported it: “Hungary and Slovakia are known to be closer to the Kremlin.” Er, no, closer to sanity would be nearer the mark. But that’s how the media operates: join in the madness or be branded a “puppet of Putin“.

But a cornered animal is dangerous. And desperate.

For while BlackRock and others have major investments in Ukraine, the ultimate target, the whole point of this war, is to weaken and hopefully defeat, Russia. Then to seize as ‘reparations’ the vast resources of that huge country. But it’s not going to happen.

For no matter how much Western aid Ukraine has received, in funding, in armaments, military ‘advisers’, intelligence, it’s losing.

And that’s why we hear silly talk now of Russia threatening the West. To justify all-out war. But there’ll be little support from ordinary people in the West. They’ve been lied to too often; on Covid, Net Zero, DEI, open borders. They live with the results.

So the Globalists are staring at the loss of money and power.

While for Starmer, Merz, Macron, von der Leyen, and the other Globalist puppets, war has become their only hope of survival.

Their economies are collapsing, their peoples are in revolt, so war will allow them to declare martial law, impose complete censorship, cancel elections, bring in Digital ID, restrict movement, impose rationing, and make our lives even more miserable.

And by so doing usher in the age of full and untrammeled Globalist control.

But for the time being, masters and servants are so desperate that they might resort to anything to save their miserable skins. So be on your guard. Make your feelings known to the elite. And don’t believe anything the Globalist media tells you.

Russia has no intention of attacking the West. But she will respond if she’s attacked.

So don’t support a war to save Globalism and its beleaguered elites.

Globalist Muppets Seek (Somebody Else’s) Land

On By JacIn Abergavennyshire, Climate, Colonialism, Environmentalism, Farming, Globalism, Greens, Ireland26 Comments

Over the years I’ve written about people and organisations in Wales dreaming up problems and pushing agendas with you and I expected to fund their activities through a captured political class.

In recent years, I’ve had to widen my horizons. Because it’s clear these shysters are now getting corporate funding from the USA and elsewhere. Which is often carefully ‘filtered’ to disguise the source. But always remember – He who pays the piper . . .

Which introduces the latest offering . . .

THE OLD HOME TOWN LOOKS . . . WELL, DIFFERENT

Last Wednesday saw a conference in Swansea organised by an outfit claiming to be the Welsh branch of the global Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEALL). Basically, local faces hoping to fool us into thinking WEALL cares about Wales.

Much like the so-called ‘Welsh Government’. Or devolution itself.

It was held at the Swansea Building Society Arena on Oystermouth Road, which pedestrians can access over the ‘Crunchie Bar Bridge’.

To check out who was starring at this ‘Festival of Ideas’ just scroll down to ‘Speakers and Panellists’.

There was Derek Walker, the Future Generations Commissioner. A man with a first-class seat on the gravy train. And his successor at Cwmpas, Bethan Webber.

Cwmpas is the UK’s largest development agency for social enterprises and co-operatives. The organisation develops and delivers innovative programmes to support enterprise, increase employment, tackle poverty and promote inclusion.

Translated that means socialists interfering in things they know nothing about. Terrified of letting the economy be run by people who know what they’re doing because such people would be unlikely to take advice from the comrades.

They prefer socialism which, as history tells us, has always been a great success.

There was a couple at the conference from Oxfam. Assorted jobsworths from health boards and ‘Welsh Government’. A man of whom I know nowt except that he must have the whitest teeth in Gwynedd. Then there’s the ‘Welsh Government’s early warning siren for Islamophobia who runs the Kumbaya Caff in Cardiff.

Finally, Yvonne Murphy, of Omidaze Productions, which I mentioned in May last year in connection with that nest of bruvvers, the Tramshed. Though I don’t know why Omidaze needs a website, because Companies House tells us it files as dormant, with nary a penny in the kitty.

Omidaze was mentioned last year because of Murphy’s collaborator Leonora Thomson, who’d come down from London to take over the Welsh National Opera . . . and became a councillor in Cardiff. A good example of the link between the Labour party in Wales and public appointments.

But if Omidaze was Murphy’s ticket to this knees-up, then it don’t say much about the credibility of the others. Anyway, here’s the full run-down of the speakers.

I bet you’re sorry you missed it!

(‘Weall’ is someone’s play on weal, meaning well-being, as in ‘common weal’.)

◊

WHO’S WHO IN THE WELLBEING ECONOMY ALLIANCE?

Let’s first go to the Charity Commission entry for the parent body, and click on the Trustees tab, who do we see? Why, it’s Sophie Howe, Derek Walker’s predecessor as Future Generations Commissioner (and another Labour stalwart). Her entry reminds us she’s also a trustee of Coleg Soros in Talgarth.

Then trustee Professor Kate Pickett gets a mention on the Club of Rome website. (I was astonished to see such a connection.)

Pedro Tarak is an Argentine, which would normally put him in my good books, but he too has dodgy connections.

Jumping to the top of the list, as chair and co-founder of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance with Professor Pickett, we find George James Stewart Wallis. And this link explains:

Stewart Wallis served as Executive Director of the New Economics Foundation (NEF) from 2003 to 2016. Prior to coming to NEF, he worked as a development consultant at the World Bank, and the International Director of Oxfam GB. Currently he is leading a major new initiative to create a global “new economics movement” called WE All (Well-Being Economy Alliance).

Finally, Ashis Tajhya. Who is also connected with the New Economics Foundation.

Multiple organisations overlapping, interlinking, reinforcing and echoing each other’s nonsense. All soaking up money from corporations, taxpayers, or charities. But wherever it comes from it’s money that could be better spent alleviating real problems.

The real problems of the people they claim to be serving.

∼

Turning to Wales, here’s the website and the blog for what claims to be the local incarnation of this organisation. These seem to be the individuals involved.

WEALL Cymru/Wales Ltd is registered with Companies House from an address in the Swansea Uplands. One of the directors is Siân Jones, whose husband Rowland seems to be in the property business; to judge by the companies he’s involved with, and the loans from building societies and banks to buy property.

Though one company, Tirnod, is indebted to the ‘Welsh Ministers’ and also Tai Tarian (re-named NPT Homes Ltd). So is he buying property for a housing association, or for himself and then renting or leasing to the housing association?

Another of the WEALL Cymru directors is Dawn Lyle.

While the Joneses and Lyle live in Swansea, the fourth director, Stephen Priestnall, can be found in Abergavennyshire. His day job seems split between two companies he founded. One is Decision Juice, the other Oomph Ltd, both now owned by Person Centred Software Ltd.

And by following a long and tortuous trail we learn that Person Centred Software is ultimately owned by City ‘escapee’ Matthew Rourke, and Leona Campbell. Through Cow Corner Holdings Ltd, an investment company.

Cow Corner can be found in that bastion of the Greens, Brighton. For Priestnall is a former Green party candidate.

My guess is Priestnall brought WEALL to Wales through his connection with Person Centred Software and that company’s connection with NEF. But why did he recruit people in Swansea?

But forget the property dealing and the investments – it’s all about wellbeing.

LAND REFORM 1

Another offering for those who’d gaily tripped over the Crunchie Bar Bridge was a meeting to discuss land reform. (I can’t believe I wrote that!)

But who, exactly, is demanding, or even debating, land reform? Are there wild-eyed yokels in your area, pitchforks raised, burning torches at the ready, demanding that you all march on the ‘Big House’.

What the hell are these people talking about?

For God’s sake, this is twenty-first century Wales, not late-nineteenth century Ireland, with the Land League defending tenants against absentee landlords.

Then again, seeing as Leanne Wood was part of this circus, maybe Russia in the 1920s would be a better analogy. I can see her now, stirring up the peasants against the kulaks. (Though I’m not sure what she knows about ‘land’.)

Just as there were those serving bigger agendas in both Ireland and Russia, so history repeats itself with ‘The Big Land Reform Debate‘ in Wales.

The Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) was the organising force behind land reform in Ireland, as part of the bigger struggle for Home Rule. The Bolsheviks were behind the campaign against the kulaks, in order to facilitate collectivisation.

And so it is here in Wales. Because the objective is to grab land currently being farmed by Welsh families.

And while it was possible to sympathise with Irish tenant farmers, and Russian peasants, I find myself repulsed by faux ‘environmentalists’, vegans, rewilders, socialists, hippy farmers, and anyone calling themselves ‘progressive’.

Behind those discussing land reform in Wales, filling the role of the IRB, and the Communists, we see the Globalists. Who want that land so they can profit from wind turbines, greenwashing, tree planting or ‘natural capital‘.

And of course, with farming destroyed, they’ll also control the food supply.

And that is what ‘Land Reform’ is all about in this context. Though I worry that those attending the Swansea event may be too stupid to realise they’re being manipulated.

◊

LAND REFORM 2 (OR ‘GIMME ACCESS!’)

Also in attendance at the carnival of posturing and virtue signalling was the British Mountaineering Council (BMC). Represented by ‘Eben Myrddin Muse‘. A graduate of Cardiff University who did work placement with the ‘Welsh Government’.

Eben is also an academic researcher with Greener Edge Ltd. Another outfit run by a couple who moved from England (Kent) because the grass in Wales is greener . . . as are those running health boards, councils, and other bodies with public money to fritter away on ‘consultants’.

Anyway, here’s something of Eben’s I was sent. (From Facebook?)

I’d like to focus on a few points from the above contribution. For example, he says:

Improving Welsh communities’ access to land should be a top priority for any party seeking to lead Wales in 2026

Really! Who the hell is talking about improved access to land – is it those wild-eyed yokels again? The truth is, nobody gives a toss – apart from those who were in Swansea last week.

Just ask yourself, is it more important than the economy? The NHS? The education of our children?

Of course not. And to pretend otherwise is absolute bollocks!

What’s more, it has nothing to do with ‘Welsh communities’ being denied access to land. In order to understand what’s really behind this nonsense we must remember that young Eben was there representing the British Mountaineering Council.

And the BMC wants ‘wild camping’. Which means irresponsible buggers going onto someone else’s land, public or private, and doing what they damn well like.

Also, let me explain why the Scottish example quoted cannot work in Wales.

Wales in total is 20,779 km², but the area of Highland Council alone is 25,653 km². The Highlands has vast open spaces, grouse moors and shooting estates almost as big as a Welsh county, with much of the land owned by foreign billionaires and corporations. Wales, by comparison, a few areas excepted, is a patchwork of family-owned farms.

Another consideration is reachability. Tyne-Wear (pop 1.1 million) is the only major urban centre within three or four hours travelling time of the Highlands. Whereas Eryri and the Bannau are both within two hours or so of Merseyside (1.47 million), Greater Manchester (2.8 million), and the West Midlands (6.2 million).

With Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, East Midlands, even London, not much further away. Altogether, that’s most of England’s population.

I’m sure you’re a tidy boy, Eben, and you mean well. So stop pushing silly agendas that work against your own people’s interests. I mean, how can you claim to care about the environment then push for wild camping with results like this?

Perhaps we can re-visit this topic after the ‘Welsh Government’ has decolonised our rural areas because, as everyone knows, the countryside is deeply racist.

◊

CONCLUSION

Socialism has always wanted to bring down the West, thanks to an absurd belief that it would raise something better from the smouldering ashes.

Countless examples proved that socialism fails. Everywhere. Every time. So it needed to rebrand itself.

Which explains why it re-emerged spouting the fresh idiocies of Wokery, and pushing the self-destructive lunacies of degrowth and Net Zero; while also preaching DEI, anti-white racism, and open borders.

All designed to achieve the old objective of bringing down the West.

As before, private property will be targeted. Whether it’s a family farm or a home you paid for 30 years to own. But it’ll be dressed up as “wellbeing” and “access“.

And this explains why Globalism allied itself with, and now directs, this revamped variant of socialism.

And that’s what last week’s conference in Swansea was really about.

The Parasites Keep a-Coming

On By JacIn Climate, Colonialism, Globalism50 Comments

I hadn’t planned this but you’re reading it because it illustrates what’s happening over much of Wales. Though this case is a bit of an oddity in that it’s official but there’s no info beyond the bare bones.

◊

LLANTEG

Our story focuses on the hamlet of Llanteg, Pembrokeshire; pinned in the centre of the map below. The reason for going there is that certain companies are planning a ‘Green Energy Park’ and a ‘400kV substation’.

How do I know? Well, someone sent me various documents from which I’ve extracted the panel you see below. It comes from the latest update of the Transmission Entry Capacity (TEC) register produced by the National Systems Energy Operator (NESO).

If you scroll down to the second sheet of the register you’ll see what I’ve clipped for you below. Both entries link to the – non-existent – ‘Llanteg 400kV Substation’.

The person who sent me this information keeps abreast of these matters, but this was all new to him.

I tried an internet search for this project, but turned up nothing apart from a vague reference to Community Energy in Pembrokeshire (CEP). Here’s the website, and here the Companies House entry.

Here’s the Llanteg village website.

As Llanteg is outside the national park I went to the council website and checked through planning applications. But drew a blank.

Next, I wrote to the council planning department, and here’s part of their reply:

I am having trouble locating any information regarding the two highlighted in your screenshot. Please can you provide a site map for me to investigate further?

Mmm. Clearly, the council knows nothing.

As I say, the only references I found to renewable energy were all small-scale, ‘community’-type ventures. But I suspect what we’re looking at is very commercial. I say that due to the names linked with the projects in the panel above.

So who are the companies named on the NESO document?

◊

LLANTEG GREEN ENERGY PARK

The ‘Green Energy Park’ is in the name of NP SPV30 Ltd. And that outfit’s been registered with Companies House since July 2023. One of a string of numbered companies, now up to 50. (Maybe more by the time you read this.)

One of those companies that converted into a named project was NP SPV 31 Ltd, which is now Gwyddelwern Energy Ltd. This being the name of a village on the A494 between Corwen and Rhuthun. So let’s detour briefly and look into it.

Ultimate ownership of this project is with:

Heading back down to Pembrokeshire, ultimate ownership of NP SPV30 Ltd, the Llanteg Green Energy Park project, rests, via Natpower UK Ltd, with Mr Fabrizio Zago, an Italian living in Monaco.

Looking at the directors for the Llanteg Green Energy Park project, we see two names; a British subject with an Italian name (Sommadossi) who I’m satisfied is an associate of Zago, and an American.

This American, Benjamin Aaron Ben Tre, took up 40 directorships on May 1 this year. All linked with Natpower and all using the same Mayfair address.

More interestingly, perhaps, Ben Tre was involved with Stefano Danilo Massimo Sommadossi in other companies a few years back. I would guess the reason these companies are listed separately is because the name is spelled Ben Tré.

Let’s start with Coincident Energy Ltd (10.02.2016 – 17.09.2019). No money ever went through the books, but then again, this company was controlled from the British Virgin Islands.

Next up in chronological order is Influence Power Ltd (10.02.2016 – 17.09.2019). Another company with nothing in the pot, and controlled by Coincident Energy.

The third company used as its address a flat overlooking the Thames in Wandsworth, presumably leased by Sommadossi, who was then still an Italian citizen.

The company was called QMobility Ltd (03.01.2020 – 21.12.2021). It began life with directors Sommadossi, Ben Tré, another Italian named Stefano Madeddu, and a second American by the name of Jonas Lauren Norr.

This is interesting. Norr seems to be based at Miami Beach. And an internet search suggests he founded a company called Ethos Investments. Which is the company Ben Tré’s Linkedin page says he’s still working for. Here’s Norr’s info from Linkedin.

Anyway, at the end of its brief life, despite filing no accounts, and apparently doing nothing, Sommadossi and Ben Tré had over ten million QMobility shares.

To conclude where we started this section, with Natpower, and after seeing names like Zago, Sommadossi, Madeddu, you will not be surprised to learn that this outfit is, to all intents and purposes, an Italian company.

Building a ‘Green Energy Park’ in Pembrokeshire.

E R PROJECT DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD

I couldn’t find a website for this company, the one named in connection with the 400kV substation, but here’s the Companies House entry. It was Incorporated October 14, 2022. Based in Marlborough, Wiltshire

The two named directors are: Harry Marcus George Lopes, who’s British; and American Giovanni Rossario Maruca. When you flip to ‘significant control’ you see the name Eden Devco (UK) LLP.

There are 23 companies registered at this luxury holiday accommodation site, but Eden Devco seems to be the only one with assets. Though nothing in the most recent accounts explains these assets.

This company has Lopes and Maruca as members, with these two now rubbing shoulders with a couple of English aristos and some other interesting names.

Including two US companies, one in Florida, the other in New Jersey. It’s the one in New Jersey I wish to focus on, because a company with that name has cropped up on this blog before.

The name is Belltown Eden Ventures Corp. This company controls the voting rights over Eden Devco (UK) Ltd, and ultimately the Llanteg substation. And although giving a New Jersey address it’s governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. I assume that’s because Delaware is ‘business friendly’.

Belltown is also an investor in land destined for renewable energy projects. We target property with strong fundamentals and proximity to power infrastructure in our core markets.

∼

The other Belltown – in the form of Belltown Power of Bristol – is one of the three companies (we know of) waiting to desecrate the Elenydd, the unspoilt country east of Lampeter, which I wrote about in November 2023, in The Road To Hell.

Where I explained that when you trace back ownership of Belltown Power you reach Blackmead Infrastructure c/o The Foresight Group.

Establishing the ultimate ownership of Blackmead Infrastructure is not straightforward. The first step is easy enough, it’s Averon Park Ltd. But the Companies House entry for Averon Park shows no one with significant control.

Though a hell of a lot of shares have been allotted lately. While the latest confirmation statement from Averon Park (30.06.2025) tells us Foresight Fund Managers is in control.

Is that 1.56 billion shares, am I reading it right?

Foresight has an office in Cardiff, and recently appointed Phil Sampson to manage its £130 million Investment Fund for Wales. Aren’t you grateful?

Anyway, the long and winding road eventually takes us to Guernsey. And once you’re on that island, who knows who owns what?

∼

This is frustrating, but it looks as if there are two companies using the Belltown name. One in Bristol, with a windfarm project in the Elenydd, that traces to the USA; the other in Wiltshire, planning a substation in east Pembrokeshire, linked to the Foresight Group and Guernsey. Both in the ‘renewables’ and ‘natural capital’ rackets.

But there’s no obvious connection. Unless you know different?

◊

CONCLUSION

Once again, I find myself reporting companies from God knows where planning lucrative projects in Wales. What makes Llanteg perhaps unique is that no one seems to know anything about it!

Yet the fact that these entries are on the TEC register tells us an agreement has been reached. But who are the parties to the agreement? Have these companies done a deal with a private landowner? Or with the ‘Welsh Government’?

Are there any more Llantegs in the pipeline?

Whatever the answer to those questions, the map below explains why Llanteg is attractive. The black lines you see are carrying power from Pembroke power station, first to the cities and towns of the south, and then to England.

Which serves to remind us that – if the capacity is there – then any number of new projects can link up to transmission lines.

And that applies to the new lines planned to run through the Tywi and Teifi valleys on their way to Llandyfaelog; also the line north, then north east, and over the border to Lower Frankton in Shropshire.

In fact, I predict these new pylon runs will act as magnets for every eco-shyster between Bristol and the British Virgin Islands, Luxembourg and Lower Manhattan.

To the point where rural Wales, outside of national parks, will resemble a post-apocalyptic wasteland of steel and fibreglass, erratically producing electricity Wales doesn’t need, and providing us with no benefits whatsoever.

Interspersed of course with areas being ‘rewilded’ by charities and environmental groups that took corporate funding as payment for destroying Welsh farming and a way of life.

And all the while, the clown show in Corruption Bay, its propagandists and apologists, promise us ‘local ownership’ and ‘community benefits’.

Those lying bastards that have been selling us down the river for 26 years.

Caerffili By-election: Random Thoughts

On By JacIn Elections, English Nationalism, European Union, Far Left, Globalism, Gwlad, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, Senedd, Welsh Government, World Economic Forum101 Comments

This piece is totally unplanned; but I want to get it out because I see so many misinterpreting the result and failing – or refusing to understand – what lies behind it.

◊

PLAID CYMRU AND LABOUR, LABOUR AND PLAID CYMRU

Let me begin by congratulating Plaid Cymru on a great victory. As I’ve mentioned more than once, I was a member of the party for many years and, back in the 1970s, a candidate for both Swansea council and the old West Glamorgan county council.

But it was a different party back then. Though the victor in Caerffili, Lindsay Whittle, seems in some ways closer to the party I belonged to than the modern party. We shall see.

The Plaid campaign was strange in that it seemed to be more about stopping Reform than offering any policies of its own. And so it was reduced to a two-horse race; portraying Reform as the agents of Putin, Trump, and English nationalism (get your head around that!), with Plaid as the standard bearer for Wales, decency, and ‘progress’.

Which was bollocks. The election was really about voters’ rejection of Labour. Everything else flowed from that.

The people of Caerffili were justifiably pissed off with Labour for two reasons.

First, 26 years of abject failure by the Labour party managing Wales from Corruption Bay. From which Plaid and Reform profited.

But let’s remember that Plaid was in coalition with Labour between 2007 and 2011, and the two are currently in some ill-defined ‘agreement’. Furthermore, and just like Labour, Plaid supports the Globalist-Woke agenda on climate, gender, race, etc., and would go further.

Second, there was Keir Starmer factor: cancelling winter fuel allowance, rocketing electricity bills thanks to ‘clean green energy’, rising taxes, rent boys, immigration, Chinese Communist Party influence, rape gangs, Digital ID. A tower of betrayals and lies that will soon topple and destroy Starmer.

So Plaid profited because they were seen by many as being a change from Labour. An improvement. And marginally preferable to Reform. With a strong local candidate, in Lindsay Whittle.

But in addition to the shared outlook I just listed, and since Plaid abandoned independence the difference between Labour and the Party of Wales is, well . . . anybody got a fag paper? Don’t bother – there’d be nowhere to fit it.

Here’s what they both really want: More political power for the Senedd and more funding from London; then they can make California Democrats look like Confederate flag-waving rednecks buck dancing by their likker stills.

And as someone has pointed out to me, the constituency itself needs to be understood.

His take is that the northern part of the constituency probably went to Reform.

But the southern part, which touches Cardiff’s northern suburbs, is home to many ‘progressives’ who realised Labour is cooked and switched to Plaid.

◊

ATTITUDES, REACTIONS, RESPONSES

One of the more puzzling outlooks came from those claiming to want independence but attacking Reform, and using choice language, for being “English nationalists“. Which exposed, yet again, that the modern nationalist movement is home to some very strange, and stupid, people.

I love to see the England flag. I want the English people to reclaim England. I want three independent countries on this island respectful of each other. The threat is not England or the English, the threat is a form of Unionism that has little respect for us and is subservient to supranational bodies and the Globalist agenda.

Yet most of those who attack Reform as English nationalists want independence in order to rejoin a bankrupt and increasingly authoritarian EU pushing for war with Russia to distract from its internal collapse. This is insane.

Reform may be Unionist – but looking at the bigger threat, to which independence under those now promoting it would sacrifice us – Reform appears to want the same things I want.

There was a post-election piece by Martin Shipton in Nation.Cymru today. Here’s one of the comments. Who’d have thought the president of Russia could be worked into a small comment on a Welsh by-election.

Though I’m at a loss as to why proximity to Cardiff should matter. Unless it links with my earlier reference to the nature of the Caerffili constituency, and the dread thought of hairy-arsed ‘flag-shaggers’ encroaching on those leafy northern suburbs.

Knowing the political sentiments of some of those commenting to this piece (even the writer), I was struck by how easy it’s been for them – and others I’ve read today – to switch from Labour to Plaid.

For them, it’s clearly the agenda that matters, not which party pushes it.

Yet we might still see Labour go for broke, and try to out-Woke Plaid before next May’s Senedd elections. That’s what Paul Embery might have suggested today in this tweet.

Did a Labour Senedd member really say that on the Home Service?

If so, how will Labour go about it? Just imagine . . . “We have set up a taskforce, with a budget of £20m, to tackle the problem of transphobia in Llanfair Caereinion“.

◊

LOSERS, WINNERS, CONCLUSION

The party I support, Gwlad made little impression; hardly surprising if you lack rich backers and the media ignores you.

But then, I remember it took Plaid Cymru 40 years before Gwynfor Evans won the Carmarthen by-election in 1966. So maybe it’s time to put Plaid’s victory in perspective.

First, Caerffili was a by-election; strange things can happen at by-elections. I recall the Orpington by-election of 1962. But it didn’t lead to a Liberal revival.

And Plaid has been here before, winning seats in the Valleys. In the first Assembly elections (of 1999) Plaid took Islwyn, and Rhondda, also Llanelli. Plus of course the usual seats further west and north.

More recently, Leanne Wood won, then lost, Rhondda.

I can even remember Plaid briefly taking control of Merthyr council.

So Plaid winning a seat in this area is not unprecedented, but they tend to be flashes in the pan. Will Caerffili prove to be any different?

The big difference now of course is that Labour is in real trouble. Is it terminal? Is Labour’s century of dominance in Wales over, just as the 1920s marked the end of Liberal hegemony?

It’s too early to say, because as I said earlier, Labour paid the price in Caerffili for both its own record in Wales, and the unpopularity of a Labour administration in London. A change of government in London would almost certainly help Labour here, but only so much.

Because I think Labour in Wales was on the skids before Starmer got elected. In the Senedd elections of 2021 Labour got 46% of the vote in Caerphilly. In last year’s UK general election, it was down to 38%.

And we may never see a majority Labour government in London again. Many younger voters, and middle class voters, will desert to the Liberal Democrats and the Greens.

And where are the Conservatives? Remember them!

Looking ahead to the Senedd elections next May, and unless something dramatic happens between now and then, we’ll see Reform with most seats, but Wales run by a Plaid-Labour coalition.

Which means that the big winner last night in Caerffili was, and the big winner next May will be, the Globalist agenda.

∼

The punters looked from Labour to Plaid, and from Plaid to Labour, and from Labour to Plaid again; but it was already impossible to say which was which.

Apologies to George Orwell, Animal Farm.

WWF War On Farmers Takes To The Sea!

On By JacIn Colonialism, Environmentalism, Farming, Globalism, World Economic Forum, WWF29 Comments

In a sense, this piece follows on from last week’s post about Plaid Cymru betraying Welsh farmers with absurd claims that agriculture alone is responsible for the pollution in our rivers.

We’ll meet again that Nazi-origined, anti-humanity crew of Globalist schemers in WWF, but also some interesting new faces. First, we head to Pembrokeshire.

LAVERBREAD TYCOONS

When preparing last week’s piece I was sent information about a company down west in the seaweed business. The name I was given was Câr y Môr. I was told this outfit returned a loss of £278,000 on a turnover of just £600k.

Which my source – with a lifetime in business himself – assured me was unsustainable. How did this company stay afloat? (I shall try to avoid the water-themed analogies, metaphors and allusions.)

So I went digging. Which wasn’t easy. The Companies House website told me it’s registered with the Financial Conduct Authority. By translating the company name into English you turn this up.

Now you’d think it would be a simple matter to go to the FCA website, type in RS008172, and Robert would become your cousin’s father. But no, it’s never that simple on the FCA website.

Through a combination of luck and persistence I eventually found For the love of the sea Ltd Registration Number: 8172. Here are the accounts confirming the parlous financial situation.

That’s despite receiving, as this piece from February 2022 tells us, a £300,000 grant from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. There’s talk of a bridging loan, which may explain the loan in May 2024 from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.

This big charity was mentioned in last week’s piece as a major donor to the WWF, RSPB, Soil Association, The Rivers Trust, and many others on the eco-shyster merry-go-round.

But then there was another loan taken out this year with NatWest Social & Community Capital.

And it’s difficult to get a handle on exactly who’s involved, and what other companies may be under the Câr y Môr banner, or trading under different names.

For example, I found Solva Seafoods. Which proclaims it’s ‘Part of Câr y Môr’.

This Guardian article from November last year helps explain what’s going on, and why the money is so readily available. The magic words are, “environmental awareness” and “vegan“.

I’ve brought my family here to explore the “seaweed revolution”. A happy combination of increased environmental awareness and more people seeking vegan alternatives has taken seaweed mainstream.

Another company mentioned in the newspaper article was the Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company Ltd. Which also seems to be linked to Câr y Môr.

It’s had a loan from the Development Bank of Wales. Perhaps to buy a pub. For the company is now registered as The Old Point House Ltd and uses that address.

And other funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.

Clearly, seaweed has gone “mainstream” for Guardian writers. And that’s good enough for the readers of that newspaper who infest our political class and major funding bodies.

Which gives us small-scale operations in Pembrokeshire, which may or may not be economically viable, at the front of the queue for funding because they tick the right boxes.

But even though seaweed gets the publicity I can’t help think that the real money may not be in seaweed but in crabs and lobsters. How does lobsters being boiled alive sit with the comrade vegans at the WWF and elsewhere?

Are our crustacean friends expendable in the service of the bigger scam?

But enough from Pembrokeshire – lovely as she is – for I think all this talk of seaweed is drawing bigger fish. (Sorry!).

UPDATE 22.10.2025: Someone directed me to this funding which, although it mentions seaweed, seems to confirm my suspicion that the real business is crabs and lobsters.

This source even suggests that these crustaceans are bought in and sold as local – with a 100% markup!

There have been other grants, one from ‘Welsh Government‘ via the WCVA.

SEAGRASS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

The article below appeared in last Saturday’s Western Mail. (Here in pdf format.) It’s basically about the threat of pollution to seagrass on the coast of Llŷn.

It’s cleverly written, pushing the right buttons and worded to evoke a positive reaction. There’s psychology applied here. I’m surprised no one takes credit for it.

But maybe we can hazard a guess at the writer. As I hope to explain.

You’ll see I’ve marked it with numbers. So let’s go through them.

1/ “Five-year-old Aled” is a classic way to start an article in order to get the reader on your side. What hard-hearted bastard would not be receptive to what follows an intro like that?

2/ “Climate change“. The foundation scam upon which the superstructure of further lies, sleaze, political capture, corporate greed and behavioural control is built.

3/ Who calculates these ‘losses’? Answer: The same enviro-shysters seeking to profit from putting them right.

4/ Cymru Can is yet another dollop of Future Generations bullshit.

5/ The ubiquitous Derek Walker, Future Generation Commissioner for Wales. He featured in last week’s piece. His predecessor Sophie Howe is now on the books at Bute Energy, paving the way for wind turbines, pylons, and God knows what else.

6/ The Future Generations legislation is now a decade old. Yet no other country on Earth has decided to follow the lead. Strange, that. Or maybe not.

7/ It was inevitable that we’d encounter WWF Cymru, which also had a big part in last week’s presentation on Plaid Cymru betraying Welsh farmers.

8/ North Wales Wildlife Trust has received £328,850 from ‘Welsh Government’ contracts in the past 5 years; £10.73m in grants.

9/ Project Seagrass is new to me. I shall have more to say anon.

10/ Lottery funding, another feature we saw in last week’s piece.

11/ ‘Welsh Government’ – i.e. thee and me – will be paying for a seagrass project officer.

12/ Article mentions ” . . . nutrient run-off from agriculture and sewage“.

13/ But the WWF spokesperson, Penny Nelson, believes it’s solely due to, not just farming, but “intensive agriculture“. Yeah, lay it on thick, girl. The same lie we heard from the stage at the Plaid Cymru conference, and I reported in last’s week’s offering. She’s also a trustee at another coastal charity – in sea-girt Leicestershire.

14/ Colouring books from Uncle Carl! What next – drag shows?

15/ “Spreading stories“. When I was a boy, this meant fibbing. Making things up. And this is certainly what environmentalists do.

16/ Where exactly are these “disadvantaged coastal areas“?

17/ “More funding“. How much do you want? Because Wales is a rich country, and we have no pressing priorities.

18/ Did we mention “future generations“?’

19/ Here’s Derek Walker, again.

20/ Ah! the “climate emergency“. (See 2 above.)

21/ In case you missed it – the “climate emergency!”

Clearly, WWF Cymru, with seagrass and ‘the marine environment’, and with ‘Welsh Government’ support, is opening another front in the war against Welsh farmers. This time for polluting our coastal waters.

And yet . . . we earlier read about a thriving aquaculture in Pembrokeshire, which is a largely rural county, with a lengthy coastline, and many, many farms. Strange, that.

◊

SEAGRASS NEEDS INVESTORS

So what is this Project Seagrass? Here’s the website. To start with, it’s a registered charity. It was launched in 2015 but only since 2020 has the money rolled in.

Which coincides with the arrival as a trustee of Rosslyn Barr. Here’s her Linkedin profile. (Where she’s Rosslyn Clowe.) We see she’s Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Despite claiming to be active in countries around the world I was surprised to see that Seagrass Project’s given address is on the Brackla Industrial Estate, Bridgend. How long has it been there, I wonder? And who’s paying the rent?

Project Seagrass is of course a non-political organisation . . . well, until you see that it doesn’t use the X (Twitter) social media platform. Which tells you a lot.

Here’s a fuller profile of Rosslyn Barr-Clowe from the Project Seagrass website. But none of what we’ve read so far tells us her day job. Did she retire early? Win the Lottery?

Was she working in Malta for 6 years with Sharklab Malta?

If you scroll down on Linkedin you’ll see that the last ‘day job’ was with Royal London, where she worked for over 10 years, until eight years ago. Her last post was Head of Change Transformation (Intermediary).

But did she really leave the Royal London Group? I ask because I found this in a search, dated May this year. It links Rosslyn Barr with the Royal London Group. I found it on the Emphasis website, a company that helps people improve their writing skills, offering various courses, one shown below.

Is / was she a tutor with Emphasis? Did she write the piece that appeared in last Saturday’s Western Mail?

Like all big companies Royal London is into making money from pretending to be more altruistic, and the way to do that nowadays is to make people think your only motivation is to save the planet.

Royal London has gone in big. Just last year it splashed out £260m buying 21,000 acres of farmland. As Head of Property for Royal London Asset Management, Mark Evans, put it:

Working alongside South Yorkshire Pension Authority to invest into the largest farming transaction by capital value in the UK has provided an exceptional opportunity to launch our natural capital strategy.

Yeah, ‘natural capital’. Monetise everything.

Then, last month, Rosslyn Barr-Clowe joined another coastal protection outfit. This one being the Protected Areas Foundation, registered as a charity 29 November last year.

Interestingly, the two founding trustees are Suresh Nalin Weerasinghe, a lawyer with Aviva, which works with BlackRock. The other founder trustee is Patrick Peter Joseph Hargreaves, CEO at AKO Capital LLP. Director at AKO Capital Management Ltd. Portfolio Manager of the AKO Global Fund.

So the woman who is lead trustee at Project Seagrass, so busy around the Welsh coast at the moment, has just joined another coastal protection charity, where the two other trustees are most definitely from asset management and investments.

But we’re expected to believe it’s all about the quality of the water?

The Protected Areas Foundation (The PAF) is a UK charity dedicated to developing the capacity and skills of coastal communities, mobilising sustainable finance, and enabling co-governance to effectively manage marine protected areas.

Ah! Sustainable finance. What that really means is financial institutions capitalising on ‘sustainability’, often using mechanisms of their own invention and their own definition of what qualifies as sustainable.

And note how ‘Community’ is used again, as if it’s locals who’re going to benefit. In the WM piece I linked to earlier ‘community’ or ‘communities’ appeared no less than 5 times. Like I said, clever writing.

And before I forget, there’s yet another coastal charity with which Rosslyn Barr-Clowe is involved. Though this seems confined to Scotland, at the moment. It’s the Coastal Communities Network. And she’s been an Advisory Group Member since June 2021.

How many of these ‘coastal’ groups are there?

◊

HIDING BEHIND YOUNG ALED

Spare a thought for young Aled, because so many depend on him and others like him, but he just thinks he’s playing on the seashore.

Immediately behind him are the left wing, Globalist, anti humanity, vegan ‘environmental’ groups and NGOs. Breaking ground for those who follow.

Used as a distraction, hoping we’ll think this is the only money involved, are the National Lottery, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and other donors.

Demanding credit for ‘saving the planet’, are the clowns in Corruption Bay. All they’re doing is obeying orders from above.

Slightly further back we find the investment houses, the asset managers, looking for opportunities created by those mentioned in the previous paragraphs. The real money.

Back in the shadows, often controlling the ‘investors’, you’ll discern BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and other Globalist corporations.

At the very back, behind the curtain, setting the rules, are the supranational bodies like the UN, WEF, EU.

Thankfully, Aled is only a five-year-old boy, and his shadow isn’t big enough for all these bastards to hide in.

We see you!

Plaid Cymru Abandons Welsh Farmers

On By JacIn Climate, Farming, Globalism, Plaid Cymru20 Comments

Last Saturday I put out a post on X drawing attention to something that had been said at the Plaid Cymru conference in Swansea. This piece follows on from that.

◊

‘IT’S THEM FARMERS WOT DONE IT!’

Speaking from the main stage Alex Phillips of the WWF wanted the audience to believe that when it comes to polluting our rivers, then, “it’s beyond reasonable doubt” that it’s the fault of farmers. And only farmers.

But he’s wrong. And he knows he’s wrong. Where to start?

First, the biggest polluter of our watercourses is, in its various operations, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water. Which leads a charmed life due its ‘closeness’ to Natural Resources Wales, an agency of the self-styled ‘Welsh Government’.

This ‘closeness’ guarantees Dŵr Cymru an easy ride from the planet savers.

Second, ‘agriculture’, is a rather vague, all-encompassing, term. Possibly misleading.

Maybe he’s referring to the chicken farmers of Herefordshire, or arable farmers using chicken manure fertiliser, both polluting the Wye before it runs back into Wales.

But he can’t be referring to Welsh livestock farmers, certainly not those of the uplands.

And I’m damn sure his sweeping statement didn’t include the hippies and good lifers growing non-binary carrots on Powys county council land, often at the expense of Welsh families.

So what exactly was he talking about?

Some background might help. Alex was a ‘Special Advisor’ in the Assembly for 3 years from October 2011. After that, he was in PR for another 3 years. Then he joined the WWF in July 2017.

Here’s Alex, just a few months ago, celebrating legislation he helped push through.

To understand a bit more about the WWF, and its essentially anti-humanity agenda, go to this piece I put out last November and scroll down the section, ‘Darker Past’. Where you’ll read:

The founder and first president of the WWF was Prince Bernhardt, consort to Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. Though he himself was German and had, like many other princelings, joined the Nazi Party in 1933.

Here’s a recent example from the Congo basin of how the WWF operates. Making clear that it prioritises ‘Nature’ over people. Indigenous populations seem to be inconvenient, if not expendable.

Maybe we Welsh fall into that category.

The WWF was launched in 1961 by a body few have heard of, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Which modestly says of itself:

Founded in 1948, IUCN has become the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it.

I don’t think you’re supposed to know about the IUCN; it keeps a low profile, but it’s very influential.

The IUCN European Regional Office plays a key role in addressing these challenges by shaping EU policies, promoting effective regulation, and supporting conservation efforts at both national and regional levels.

The WWF was founded by Nazis, who believed in eugenics, and drastically reducing the global population by removing the “useless eaters“. A term adopted by the WEF. Whose founder, Klaus Schwab, is the son of an enthusiastic member of the Herrenvolk.

The WWF today serves a new elite; and pushes an apocalyptic message (scapegoats provided), in order to get politicians to enact legislation, and provide funding, to serve the ambitions of their Globalist masters.

‘HE’S RIGHT‘, SAYS PLAID CANDIDATE NERYS EVANS

The sentiments of the short speech I’ve linked to above were echoed by Nerys Evans, Plaid Cymru’s No 2 candidate for Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire.

Nerys has an interesting past. One that sums up devolutionary Wales perfectly. A denizen of Corruption Bay, its outliers and appurtenances; one of the in-crowd.

Let’s take a look at Nerys Evans’ Linkedin page.

Her career begins with a few years as ‘Political Officer’ (which means what, exactly?) at the Notional Assembly; then four years as an Assembly Member; followed by a job with a charity, and ‘Welsh Government’ appointments; next was Ofcom, overlapping with ACT and Portal Training (both publicly funded); then seven and a half years as non-executive director with the Farmers Union of Wales (FUW); with a job for going on 14 years with lobbyists Deryn Consulting, now Cavendish Cymru.

Every job there is either the result of political influence, or it’s one seeking to exert political influence. Either way, it makes a mockery of you going to put your cross on a bit of paper every so often.

While at Ofcom and Deryn simultaneously, there was some, er, embarrassment, when it became known that Evans, and another Deryn director advising Ofcom, Huw Roberts (Labour), had steered contracts the way of Deryn.

For this and other reasons the reputation of Labour-Plaid joint venture Deryn took a bit of a knock, and it was taken over earlier this year. But those running Deryn were kept on because their political and other contacts in Corruption Bay and beyond were priceless to the new owners.

Given the association with FUW her contribution to the WWF propaganda show was something to behold. According to Nerys Evans, ninety per cent of the pollution in our rivers is the fault of them wicked farmers.

Later, she tried to go back on what she’d said by protesting she’d meant 90% of pollution on the Wye. Which is also untrue.

But remember, this is a Plaid Cymru Senedd candidate, hoping to represent a constituency next May with many farmers; and this nonsense was spouted, not at a fringe meeting, but on the main stage at the Plaid Cymru conference.

Why did the WWF get such favoured treatment from Plaid Cymru?

Perhaps because Gareth Clubb is CEO of WWF Cymru, and he used to be CEO of Plaid Cymru. Now he also runs Community Energy Cymru (backed of course by the ‘Welsh Government’).

His Linkedin profile tells you everything.

The secretary of Community Energy Cymru is someone named Leanne Wood.

Another example of Labour-Plaid collaboration. Perhaps confirmed by this gem I found in the Articles of Association. But what the hell does it mean?

Another who was on the same stage in Swansea was Shea Buckland-Jones. From a very similar background to the others we’ve looked at. His Linkedin profile spells it out.

Have you noticed it yet? – every one of them has a background in PR and politics, charities and pressure groups.

Another issue here is that Cavendish-Deryn has the WWF as a client. This is kept secret because Wales – unlike England, Scotland, and just about everywhere else – has no register of lobbyists.

So Nerys Evans, Plaid Cymru candidate, director of Cavendish, was on stage at the Plaid Cymru conference with one of her company’s clients putting the boot into the farmers she so recently claimed to represent.

And all the while pretending she was only concerned with water quality.

◊

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Farmers are under pressure as perhaps never before, and it can all be traced back to acceptance by politicians and others of the ‘climate crisis’ scam, and measures such as Net Zero and carbon capture that we’re told are needed to combat this contrived threat.

With more of the same in the pipeline.

But it’s not just farmers suffering. We are all paying for this insanity; through higher electricity bills, brainwashing us into changing our diets, even telling us how we’re allowed to heat our homes.

Which is why the farmers’ fight is your fight.

And many farmers feel increasingly isolated. Some have lost faith in their unions, the National Farmers Union and the Farmers Union of Wales.

They also feel abandoned by political parties, which is understandable. For as we’ve seen, there’s no real difference between Plaid Cymru and Labour. On anything.

Those who control the Uniparty know Labour is dead in the water and something else is needed to challenge Reform. In Wales, that ‘something’ is Plaid Cymru. Talk of independence would frighten off many voters, so Plaid’s leaders were told to drop it.

Another feature that needs highlighting is the funding of the charities and pressure groups that leftist politicians use to justify the legislation they implement. A system we now see being exposed in the USA.

Over here, for example, funding from the National Lottery, especially the Heritage Lottery Fund, is openly political. But the same can be said for major private funders.

One of which would be the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. Which has clearly been captured. Just look at some the recipients here of big sums. Check out all the grants.

‘FFCC’ is the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission. One of a regiment of such bodies, and very influential in Wales. Regularly quoted by the FFCC is Derek Walker, Future Generations Commissioner for Wales. Just check his CV.

Also mentioned on the FFCC website is Hywel Morgan, who appears regularly on the ‘Welsh Government’ website Farming Connect.

Another faux ‘farmers’ organisation, with too much influence on the ‘Welsh Government’, and of course funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, is the Nature Friendly Farming Network.

If you think of Welsh farming as a sinking ship (as some wish), then there are voices in the murk calling out: “You can swim to the lifeboat“. Farming Connect is such a ‘lifeboat’, and some, like Hywel Morgan, have clambered aboard.

Because it’s not outright confrontation, there’s also stick and carrot. Which is an attempt to set farmers against each other.

◊

ALL IS NOT LOST

It’s easy to get downhearted when you look at the forces ranged against us.

At the top we have the UN, with its Agenda 2030, supported by other supranational bodies like the WEF, EU (Commission); together, these fund and / or influence a host of international charities and pressure groups that then convey the instructions to governments at national and sub-national level.

And because they’re charities, and ‘cuddly’ groups like WWF, it makes the message more acceptable, and disguises its origin.

It’s all top down, without a democratic mandate. Because no electorate was ever consulted about Net Zero except in the vaguest and most misleading terms: ‘You don’t want to destroy the planet, do you?

And it’s the same with open borders: ‘Will you allow thousands of women and children to be butchered in ———, or should we welcome refugees?’

In both cases, utterly dishonest. Because the results people have to live with bear no relation to the deceits that sought popular support.

And profiting behind the scenes are the Globalist corporations such as BlackRock, Vanguard, and oligarchs like increasingly megalomaniac Bill Gates.

You know how powerful and influential these men are when you recall that a year ago, Gates and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink were over giving Starmer his orders.

Larry Fink even sat in on a cabinet meeting!

The Uniparties the Globalists control in various countries perform like a chorus, and when anyone sings a different tune they’re vilified by the mainstream media.

Here in Wales, the Uniparty is made up of Labour, Plaid Cymru, Conservatives (until they fall apart), Greens and Lib Dems. It doesn’t matter which of these parties you vote for, you’ll be voting for the Globalist agenda.

But thankfully, there is an alternative. Councillor Gwyn Wigley Evans, party leader, has this to say: “Gwlad understands the need for farmers to produce food and keep the countryside a safe and thriving community, join us“.

I can extend that invitation to anyone fed up with lies from Uniparty politicians and insults from Globalist shills. You deserve better.

So check out the new Gwlad manifesto today. We don’t promise you the Earth because it’s not ours to give, or to take. But we do promise to fight for the earth and the soil that belongs to you, and to nobody else.

‘Wind Energy’: Where Truth Gets Blown Away

On By JacIn Climate, Colonialism, Globalism, Wind Turbines60 Comments

I hadn’t planned this, but I read something yesterday in the Globalists’ Welsh mouthpiece that got me digging, and one thing led to another.

But I suppose the real story is that the fundamental scam of the ‘climate crisis’ has spawned a host of lies and con jobs that can only justify themselves through our continuing acceptance of that foundational scam.

If you’ve got a spare 90 minutes, watch this video. If not, push on.

This is only a quickie, so let’s get started . . .

◊

LET’S HAVE A CONFERENCE!

Here’s the article that provided the inspiration for this unplanned piece. It appeared on page 16. And it contains an insulting amount of patronising drivel.

Wales must do this . . . and that . . . to generate ‘clean’ power for “four million homes” (in Wales?), and “5,000 jobs in the process“.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

What the article makes clear is that the parasites currently exploiting and despoiling Wales are rubbing their hands in expectation of an even easier route to riches with the self-styled ‘Welsh Government’ set to introduce Significant Infrastructure Projects (SIPs) “as a one-stop shop for approvals“.

What this will mean in practice is that local democracy becomes even less relevant and the views of people affected by wind, solar and associated ‘developments’ can be over-ridden.

And then, given that the ‘Welsh Government’ is only following orders from above, that means there’s a complete absence of democracy in the whole process.

But our political class is spineless and brainwashed, which is why politicians rock themselves to sleep at night, thumb in mouth, chanting, “Destroying Wales to save the planet, destroying Wales . . . “.

The offending – and offensive – article was penned by Rebecca Ives-Rose, “a director with Freshwater, on planning for a clean energy future in Wales“. In Wales, but not for Wales.

Her approach to SIPs, and much else, is summed up with:

Faster decisions are especially vital for the energy sector, where investors need confidence that projects can move from concept to delivery without endless delay. Wales cannot afford to lag behind as other countries race to expand their renewable energy capacity.

Actually, Wales can afford to “lag behind“. Because we already produce more electricity than we consume.

And of course, “endless delay” is a reference to annoying little people complaining because their lives and livelihoods are about to be blighted. Cheeky buggers!

So who is Rebecca Ives-Rose, a woman with the authority to speak to and for Wales; and who or what is Freshwater?

According to her Linkedin profile (saved here in pdf) Rebecca may not even work in Wales. For it suggests she’s in London town with the Waterfront Conference Company. So where does Freshwater fit in?

Stick with me.

There is a company called Freshwater, with offices in Cardiff and London. The two capitals from which Wales is screwed. It seems to be a PR outfit that employs ‘creatives’, to organise presentations and conferences, put out press releases, etc.

At first attempt, I found nothing registered with Companies House under that name.

It was only by following one of those listed as a leading Freshwater director, John Haydn Evans, that I found the Waterfront Conference Company, which of course is where Rebecca Ives-Rose’s Linkedin took us.

And it must be right because both Freshwater and Waterfront Conference Company use the same Cardiff address, Hodge House. Though that address is not mentioned on the website, only on the Companies House entry.

Then I thought to myself, “Hang on, Jones! Hodge House rings a bell, who else do we know at that address?”

Yes, it’s our old friends from Bonnie Scotland – the Bute gang!

Small world, innit?

◊

HOW DO THE PIECES FIT?

I decided to stick with John Haydn Evans and see where he took me, because I was surprised by the absence of corporate form for Freshwater. Was it just a trading name? Well, maybe, maybe not.

Evans has been involved with many companies, and if you scroll down the list you’ll see that most were under the ‘Freshwater’ banner. The only ones still standing, apparently, are Freshwater UK Ltd, with six outstanding charges going back over 20 years; and Freshwater (UK Regions) Ltd, with one charge.

Both use the Hodge House address. And filings for both show losses in the most recent accounts.

Interestingly, Freshwater UK Ltd claims both Freshwater (UK Regions) Ltd and The Waterfront Conference Company Ltd as subsidiaries. Suggesting the key to progress lies with Freshwater UK Ltd.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The next job was to track down who actually owns this parent company. And the answer is, Raglan House Holdings Ltd. Which also uses the Hodge House address.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Another document I found confirms that Raglan House Holdings Ltd took over Freshwater at the beginning of 2019.

Click to open in separate tab

So who’s behind Raglan House?

The answer to that is David Matthew Rustin Howell, through Hillco Investments (UK) Ltd. As the latest accounts tell us he has a number of other investments.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

And although the clip above suggests Hillco owns just 39.62% of the shares a majority is assured by further shares held by family members and the Howell Pension Fund. See shareholders here.

Among the shareholders you’ll also see, ‘DBW FM Ltd’ – Development Bank of Wales. Does anyone recognise any of the other names?

UPDATE 08.10.2025: I’m told one of the shareholders, Clive Haswell (133797 Ordinary) was chair of Cardiff North Labour party, suspended 2021, resigned 2023. This the same guy? He was also involved in the Banc Cambria scam with Plaid’s Mark Hooper, who’s now a Penarth councillor.

The Howell-Daly clan owns Hillco Investments (UK) Ltd, and by that route they own Raglan House Holdings Ltd, which owns Freshwater UK Ltd, with Freshwater UK Ltd owning Freshwater (UK Regions) Ltd and the Waterfront Conference Company Ltd.

Getting further and further away from Wales all the time. And the subject matter. (Slaps self on wrist.)

◊

CONCLUSION

OK, so on Tuesday October 7, a conference is being organised by a company ultimately owned by some guy and his family living in Bedfordshire. A conference exploring new and better ways to exploit our country.

Though I can’t tell you where the conference is to be held, because Rebecca Ives-Rose doesn’t tell us. Presumably it’s invitation only. Then again, maybe nobody’ll know the venue until half an hour before it starts.

When it’ll be done with a text message; or maybe some shifty-looking bugger shuffles up to you, looks over his shoulder, before going, “Psst . . . “, then slips a piece of paper into your hand that tells you where to go.

Those were the days!

Though we know that the company arranging this conference, and associated outfits, all share an address with Bute Energy.

Which could of course be pure coincidence. Or not, as the case may be.

But it doesn’t end there. For Rebecca also tells us:

Later this autumn, Waterfront Conference Company will hold its Planning for Infrastructure in Wales 2025 event. That forum will dive into the detail of the new planning regime, offering insight into how the changes will affect developers, investors and local authorities.

Taken together, these changes signal a moment of reckoning. Wales has the natural resources, the talent and expertise to lead on clean energy. The question now is whether we can design the planning and infrastructure to match our ambition.

I love the way it ends with “our ambition“. Really! My ambition is to expose the climate scam and remove the justification for these insane and inefficient turbines. Most people’s ambition is not to have one anywhere near them.

Clearly, Rebecca is here confusing ambition with greed. The greed of those who’ll be at the conference, and the one next month. The greed of interlopers seeking to exploit our country with the connivance of a captured or brainwashed political class.

I regard you all with contempt.

It’s bad enough having to put up with Bute, RWE, Foresight, Vattenfall, Coriolis and the rest, but this little piece you’ve just read reminds us there’s also the professional liars shilling for these ‘developers’.

I earlier used the term ‘parasites’, which might have been a wee bit harsh. For you may genuinely believe that wind turbines and solar panels are necessary to combat an encroaching climate catastrophe, to save the polar bears, etc.

But if so, then I’m not sure stupidity, or gullibility, is a big improvement on avarice.

For those of you attending today’s conference – ‘Have a nice day, y’all!’.

Because the days are getting shorter.

Bute Energy And Others, A Round-up

On By JacIn Climate, Environmentalism, Globalism, Wind Turbines82 Comments

I haven’t devoted a full piece to Bute Energy and the rest since August last year. Which is somewhat remiss, seeing as the plans are ongoing and causing great concern to communities across the land.

That said, maybe this offering is directed more at the general reader than those who follow Bute’s activities closely, or are involved with a particular campaign group, of which there are perhaps too many. (More on this later.)

Though I’ve had a gutsful of Bute and the other eco-scammers who’ve taken up more space on this blog than the diamond geezers and career criminals.

Yet they’re lauded in the media, have politicians in their back pocket, and the red carpet is rolled out for these exploitative interlopers.

◊

INTRO, RECAP

After a visit to the cellar, dusting off a few files, I think I’ve found my first reference to Bute. It was back in November 2018. In the piece, Corruption in the wind?

Though Bute first appeared via a connection with someone I’d already written about.

This pathfinder was Steven Radford. He was fronting for a major player named U + I in three wind farm projects: Bryn Blaen, near Llangurig; Rhoscrowther, down on the Haven; and Hendy, a few miles from Llandrindod.

U + I was soon taken over by Landsec; big shareholders in Landsec are BlackRock, Vanguard, Legal & General, Jupiter Asset Management.

In that November 2018 piece I wrote:

In September Radford branched out again with Bute Energy Ltd . . . in the electricity business, the production, transmission, distribution and trade of electricity to be exact.

What I didn’t know at the time was that the boys of Bute had all come from property company Parabola. And that the lead director of Bute, Oliver James Millican, is the son of Parabola boss, Peter John Millican.

The other Bute principals we’ve come to know are: Lawson Douglas Steele and Stuart Allan George. Barry Woods was a fourth departure from Parabola in November 2017. But Woods parted company with the others in September 2019.

Another name that crops up is John Reilly. Like those just named (apart from Millican) he has a company named ‘Windward’ followed by his initials. I can’t be sure if Reilly worked for Parabola, but he is now Project Manager for Bute. Like the others, he lives in Scotland.

These ‘personal’ companies all saw a massive boost in their values recently.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

These figures might be accounted for by a payout from Grayling Capital LLP, which dissolved around that time. For Millican, Steele and George were Designated Members, and Reilly a Member. Another Member had been SuperSpAd and ‘Welsh’ Labour insider David James Taylor. (Mentioned a few times on this site.)

UPDATE: More plausibly, the windfall is explained here.

But that only throws up another question – where did the money come from that went into Grayling Capital?

Whatever the answer, that’s a lot of money for a group that has yet to put up a single turbine. Ask yourself, how does that ten grand for your village hall from a developer’s ‘community fund’ compare to sums like these?

Taylor also did well for himself. The clip below is from the accounts of Taylor’s company Moblake Ltd. A liquidator was appointed in April 2022 and Taylor rode off into the sunset with the 600k in his saddlebags.

The ultimate holding company for all the Bute entities is Windward Global Ltd. The sole director is Millican Jnr. The company was formed in May 2017 as DMWSL 864 Ltd and changed its name six months later, at the exact same time we are expected to believe the boss’s son and his mates turned their backs on Parabola.

Somehow, the Parabola-Bute crew made contact with Radford. Who joined Bute Energy Ltd in September 2018, less than a week after Oliver Millican. (The company changed its name to RSCO 3750 Ltd and folded in September 2023.)

How was this contact made? Why did Parabola turn its attention to wind turbines? And to Wales?

PARABOLA-BUTE DISCOVERS WALES

But how did they ‘discover’ Wales? Were there introductions? To answer these questions I’ll begin with something substantive before flying a kite.

In the first piece, of November 2018, you’d have read a section – ‘Mystery Woman’ – in which I identified Anna McMorrin as a lobbyist for Hendy wind farm. She was then a Labour insider shacked up with a minister in the ‘Welsh Government’, and she went on to become the MP for Cardiff North in the June 2017 general election.

Seventeen months after McMorrin’s performance before Powys councillors, Steven Radford of Hendy wind farm teamed up with Parabola-Bute.

This pattern of Labour party involvement (ahem!) has been repeated in subsequent years. Most recently with Sophie Howe, former Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, who became a director of the new Bute Energy Ltd last month. (It switched names with RSCO 3750 Ltd.)

Labour party troughing is covered in many other posts on this site.

So we have the Labour party helping windfarm developers, but that doesn’t establish a connection for Radford with Millican and his pals. Yet people I’ve spoken with recently are convinced the key lies with Radford and Hendy Wind Farm Ltd.

And what a story of political corruption that was; done to help a project meet an OFGEN funding deadline, with one hurriedly erected turbine – that has never turned!

But even if Hendy is the key, that still doesn’t explain how Radford and the Bute gang met each other.

Here’s one possibility . . .

McMorrin was working for a company, Invicta Public Affairs, with branches in Glasgow and London, but its registered office is on the Gallowgate, not far from St James’ Park in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Parabola, despite having offices in Edinburgh and London, began life in Newcastle and still maintains a presence in a building it redeveloped near the Central Station.

I admit the Geordie connection is tenuous; yet while the Labour party link to both Radford and Bute is established, there is still no evidence it was the comrades who brought them together.

Though the Labour party is now so enmeshed with Parabola-Bute it might soon be difficult to disentangle them. What with individual party members involved and then the council pension fund investment. (Controlled by BlackRock.)

Plaid Cymru is also getting in on the climate scam. Sorry! that should read: saving the planet for future generations. In the form of an obscure Plaid loyalist from Ynys Môn named Carmen Smith.

After dabbling in student politics, working for politicos and leftist groups, Smith was given a made-up job with Bute in October 2023 – Advisor on Youth Governance! Her employer is named as Windward Global, the ultimate holding company for the Bute empire.

Next, she made it to the House of Lords when Plaid needed to replace retiring Lord Wigley. The election process was rigged in order to ignore members’ choice of former MP Elfyn Llwyd.

These shenanigans now give Bute a presence in the House of Lords.

KLINGON AND A POSSIBLE RESTORATION TRAGEDY

As is often the case with planning permission – and perhaps especially in Wales – what is originally given consent is often very different to what is eventually built. ‘Changes’ and ‘modifications’ are made, which may or may not go through the planning process.

In the case of Bute Energy these now include, “bigger blades, higher substations, to cracking on before approval of any restoration plans. The local authorities, who told PEDW they have no resources to oversee any planning conditions, appear to be rubber stamping things“.

Never was rubber stamping more obvious than with this amendment submitted by Bute to Caerphilly council regarding Twyn Hywel wind farm. Fortunately, the council accepts correspondence in English, Welsh, and Klingon.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

For it was indeed accepted.

In the quote I used just now you’ll have seen a reference to “restoration plans“. So let me explain what this is about.

After certain opencast mines came to the end of their working lives in southern Wales it was expected that the companies involved would – as promised – restore the sites to something close to their original state.

But, alas, when the time came for the restoration to begin – the companies involved had relocated to offshore tax havens.

In 2010, a company called Celtic Energy sold its opencast coalmines – with its restoration liabilities – for £1 apiece to a series of shell companies it had set up in the British Virgin Islands. Then the senior executives walked away with millions.

To avoid something similar happening with windfarms a number of people have submitted FoI requests to the ‘Welsh Government’ about site restoration, but I’ve yet to see a response that satisfies anyone.

UPDATE 02.10.2025: Here’s an example that I’ve just received from a reader. Natural Resources Wales says they can’t tell how much they demand for wind farm site restoration, because “this information is commercially sensitive“.

It’s now being suggested that wind turbines in Wales have an operational lifespan of 50 years. Below is a clip from Google AI, and here’s a link to a piece in Solar Power Portal which says, “Manmoel Wind will have an operational life span of 50 years“.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Obviously, no turbine lasts 50 years. A turbine is lucky to make 20, or 25. So people who’ve seen that 50 year figure assume the turbines will be replaced at some stage.

Yet the extended lifespan claim appears again in this response from Bute to a question from a concerned local resident:

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Quite frankly, I believe that ten years from now few new (or replacement) turbines will be going up. People are no longer listening to the Swedish doom goblin and her Globalist masters. Reality is kicking in.

So the question remains: with the bubble soon to burst, why are turbines going up today, or tomorrow, being given operational lifespans of 40 or 50 years?

Could it be because developers have an arrangement with politicians and planners that restoration of a site begins when the agreed operational lifespan is up? Even if the turbines had long ago stopped working. Or had even been removed?

My belief is that restoration costs should be paid up front, before a single turbine is erected, and the money ring-fenced so politicians can’t get their grubby paws on it. Furthermore, the restoration costs must not be limited to the visual. There must be enough money deposited to pay for the removal and disposal of the vast concrete bases in which every turbine stands.

Questions need to be asked about this extended operational lifespan. And whether it will be linked with site restoration.

UPDATE 12.10.2025: I should add that being ‘imaginative’ with a project’s lifespan might encourage hesitant investors. And it will be used by politicians spouting ‘future generations’ bollocks to grant planning permission.

THE PYLON RUNS

Clearly, the hundreds of wind turbines planned for remote upland areas of Wales are a long way from the eventual consumers in England. For that’s where it’s going. (Ignore bullshit like, “powering seven million Welsh homes“.)

Below you’ll see two maps that I hope will help explain the position.

On the left is a map produced by the ‘Welsh Government’ in its Future Wales The National Plan 2040 (update), showing the designated areas for wind power. On the right, a map produced by CPRW (here), adding areas for solar power and associated infrastructure including pylon routes.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Because, clearly, there will be a need for pylons and overhead power lines to run from the windfarms to where they can connect with the grid. Though in environmentally sensitive (or politically favoured) sections the cabling might be underground.

In the southern half of the country this means a run from around Aberedw, east of Llandrindod, down to Builth, and then down Dyffryn Tywi to Llandyfaelog, south of Carmarthen. The other southern line runs from the wild country east of Lampeter – projects I covered in this piece – following the Teifi before branching off south from somewhere near Llandysul.

In the northern section, the run starts near Llangurig, then runs north before turning north east to its destination at Lower Frankton in Shropshire. Though for some reason we were originally told it ended in ‘Chirk’.

Perhaps we were supposed to think it would supply Wrecsam and Deeside.

This simple map of the grid in Wales will also help as it shows most of the turbines planned are going up in areas a long way from that grid.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Most electricity in Wales is generated by Pembroke power station in the far south west. The line then runs east, supplying much of the urban south, before taking power over the border.

The loop in the north is, I suspect, accounted for by the decommissioned nuclear power stations at Wylfa and Trawsfynydd.

Let’s conclude this section by focusing on an area just mentioned, Twm Siôn Cati country. There’s a very active group opposing the three projects we’ve heard about (there may be more to come), and there was a public meeting last month.

Here’s a report from the Western Mail. Here in pdf format.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The meeting was held in Pumsaint because, as I explained in the piece I linked to earlier, the blades and turbines will need to be transported from Pumsaint up country, and over the 2,500 acres of the National Trust’s Dolaucothi estate.

For some reason the NT is coy about giving out information about its involvement with wind farm developers.

To add to the air of mystery, I’m informed that prior to the Pumsaint meeting local Plaid worthies met with Bute representatives at the Falcondale Hotel, just a mile or so north east of Lampeter. Is this true?

If so, what did they discuss? More peerages?

◊

ODDS AND ENDS

I’ve been writing about wind farms for so long, and more keep appearing, that I was almost on the point of giving up. But like I say, as truth dawns, and the costs mount, the bubble will eventually burst.

So I’ll stick with it, and give a few random thoughts. First, something that’s been a stone in my shoe for a while. Maybe someone out there can help.

It’s a company called Storagefolk Ltd. The sole director is Oliver Millican, and ownership traces back to super holding company Windward Global, where all the shares are owned by Millican.

Now, this company was formed September 2017; it seems to do nothing, yet it’s kept alive, so I must assume there’s a reason for its existence. But what?

Answers on a postcard . . .

Returning to electricity transmission . . . in a belated attempt to salvage its reputation the self-styled ‘Welsh Government’ set up Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru. Which, to date, has achieved virtually nothing beyond virtue signalling.

And of course, costing us money.

Those clowns in Corruption Bay had over two decades to ensure that, if we had no alternative but to participate, that at least Wales benefitted from this climate scam. But they did nothing beyond pimping Wales out to any green con artists who slunk into view.

Bute has also set up a distribution company, Green Gen Cymru (GGC). Which is planning the pylon runs we looked at earlier. Though this is a joint venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, a major funder for Bute.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The GCC chairman is Bleddyn Phillips, former chairman of London Welsh Rugby Club, who worked in Russia when his wife, Dame Anne Pringle, was ambassador.

For many year Phillips was Global Head of Oil and Gas for multinational lawyers Clifford Chance LLP. These are not the kind of lawyers you go to if Plod arrests you for hurty words on X. We are talking big, big money here. Billions.

Consequently, Phillips must know many wealthy investors in the energy field from his globetrotting days. I wonder if any of them are interested in Green Gen Cymru?

◊

CONCLUSION

I don’t wish to name groups or individuals, but I believe the fight against these various – but linked – plans is too fragmented. A certain level of unity is needed. Or at the very least, co-operation.

Yet it must also be kept local.

By which I mean, involve local people, farmers and others with a stake in the country. At all costs avoid creating the impression that the only people opposing wind turbines and pylons are well-heeled nimbys who’ve moved into the area.

Selfish buggers who are now, “denying locals thousands of well-paid jobs“.

Because that’s the kind of lie those opposing you – politicians and ‘developers’ – will use to divide and discredit you.

And finally, don’t trust political parties that support Net Zero, wind farms and all the rest. Politicians with constituencies or council areas threatened by the projects of Bute and others are in trouble, and they know it.

So they’re trying to ride two horses. But only succeeding in coming across as more two-faced than usual. It is not a pretty sight.

Say, “Thank you very much for your kind offer of advice and assistance” – then help them through the door. Whether you open the door is entirely up to you.

Why I’m Putting Independence On Hold

On By JacIn Globalism, Welsh Independence24 Comments

I’m still waiting for information promised on a matter I’ve written about recently and so, until it reaches me, I’m going to take an opportunity to clarify my position on Welsh independence.

◊

BACKGROUND

I have always believed in Welsh independence. I will always believe in Welsh independence. This is an article of faith, beyond debate.

I want independence for my people, my country, so we can take our place among the nations of Europe and the world. I want us to be able to be ourselves and fulfil our potential. Something denied us for too long.

I see no inherent problem with capitalism; I simply want it to work for Wales and my people. The last thing I want is a socialist shit-hole such as those I’ve seen rise and collapse around the world in my lifetime.

We are a long way from my dream, not because Wales is less likely to become independent, but because the independence movement, in its widest sense, has been subverted into serving other agendas, and corrupted into offering a vision of independence that I reject.

So let me explain my position.

◊

THE ENEMY WITHIN

A good place to start would be 1966, with the Civil Rights movement in the USA, and anti-Vietnam War protests building on both sides of the Atlantic. Students rioting across Europe. Bombs and protests in Wales over the exploitation of our water resources, the approaching Investiture, and language rights.

With the avoidable tragedy of Aberfan further influencing the national mood.

This year saw the birth of the Cloward-Piven strategy, a plan to overload and collapse a system from within, then step in with the ‘answers’ to the problems you’ve created.

It’s an old playbook.

Hitler sent his Brownshirts onto the streets of German towns and cities to brawl with political opponents and create mayhem – then argue that the only way to restore law and order was by voting for the party of the Brownshirts!

The ‘threat’ Globalists invented is ‘climate crisis’. A scam used to de-industrialise and impoverish Western countries, to impose behavioural changes, and then, when the countries that implemented the policies start collapsing – step in and take over!

To further the objective of societal collapse Globalists have funded and promoted Wokism, while also flooding the target countries with unassimilable numbers of young men who will be protected and encouraged in their criminality and general behaviour by the two-tier judicial system administered by officials, bureaucrats, and judges.

These will either be converts to the Globalist vision, or they’ll already be working to a very similar agenda. Similar enough to allow for co-operation.

For example, societal collapse is also the aim of the ‘Communism by stealth’ Fabians, who control the UK Labour party, and whose members are in positions of power throughout the state apparatus.

Before going further, let me make clear that the ‘Globalists’ I’m talking about are the UN (and WHO), the WEF, the EU (especially the unelected Commission headed by Ursula von der Leyen), and various multi-billionaires and global corporations (especially ‘asset managers’ like BlackRock and Vanguard).

They want a One World Government and global control of humanity. Though they tend to focus on the West, the ‘advanced nations’, the white Christian nations.

The wolf in sheep’s clothing was the original badge of the Fabian Society. Which says it all.

They call what they promote ‘stakeholder capitalism’ . . . but you won’t have a stake.

To achieve their objective they capture political establishments and state mechanisms, academia, media; they undermine public morale and weaken the sense of nationhood, attack the nuclear family, then recruit and promote anything that might help them achieve their aims.

And they lie endlessly. Take ‘Diversity Equity Inclusion’ (DEI).

Designed to discriminate against white people and, by recruiting people unfit to do the jobs they’ve given, lower standards across the board, and by that route damage Western societies.

With the resentment and division created ticking another Globalist box.

And DEI is a cure for yet another invented threat – ‘toxic masculinity’.

Once you understand the desired result and the methodology, then everything else makes sense. For example, BlackRock and others wants to monetise and profit from the natural world; trees, the air we breathe, and the ground beneath our feet.

For which they need land.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

But there is an obvious obstacle to the fulfilment of the plan – most land in Europe belongs to farmers. So farmers must be portrayed as planet-destroying villains from whom it’s justifiable to take the land in order to improve ‘biodiversity’ and to ‘decarbonise’ our rancid atmosphere.

BlackRock makes billions from ‘saving the planet’. Your taxes funding the schemes and subsidies from which BlackRock benefits is your stake in the New World Order. Check out this X post to get the gist of BlackRock’s approach to finding new assets to profit from. Or just scroll down to the video.

At ground level, the war on farming is waged by the Globalists’ auxiliaries in the environmental movement, who will be given some of the stolen land to indulge their ‘rewilding’ fantasies.

And once agriculture is destroyed the Globalists will not only own the land, they’ll also control the food supply.

This is where we are, and it partly explains how we got here.

◊

AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE

Many of you will wonder how Globalist capitalism can work hand-in-hand with those wanting to impose Communism or socialism. The answer lies in China. Political and social control will be in the hands of the political class, with entrepreneurs and others given almost free rein to make money.

It’s a trade-off.

It’s worth remembering that Klaus Schwab, founder, and until very recently, head of the World Economic Forum, is on record as saying:

. . . the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries.

Though that still leaves the third element of the troika undermining the West – Islam.

There’s no question that Globalists and their socialist allies, whether Fabians operating in the shadows or attention-seeking Greenhairs, see Islam as a vital ally in their assault on the West. This explains unlimited immigration and a two-tier judicial system.

Premier Xi of China and Klaus Schwab of the WEF. Click to open enlarged in separate tab

But two totalitarian systems like socialism and Islam can only co-operate in opposition to a perceived common enemy. That ‘enemy’ is the rest of us.

Which in turn explains why middle-aged and elderly women, concerned for their daughters and grand-daughters, can be compared by journalists and politicians to goose-stepping stormtroopers.

At some point in the near future, the Globalists will try to introduce Digital ID, and it will be sold as the remedy for illegal immigration, crime, perhaps even baldness.

Tony – “Weapons of mass destruction” – Blair, a Fabian, has long been a fan of ID. Here’s a clip from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change website.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

And for a while it’ll work. Massive publicity will be given to a few dozen illegal migrants and foreign criminals being deported.

But Digital ID is just the foot in the door. Once the door is pushed open UBI, facial recognition, CBDC, climate lockdowns, blanket censorship, loss of private transport, etc., etc., will follow.

And once it’s in place, we’re trapped.

To end this section, I’ll remind you Globalism is deeply anti-human, with nothing but contempt for the vast majority of us. We are now surplus to requirements, and therefore expendable.

One of the foremost early Fabians was George Bernard Shaw, the (Ascendancy) Irish playwright and author. Here’s what Encyclopedia Britannica has to say:

He became . . . the force behind the newly founded (1884) Fabian Society, a middle-class socialist group that aimed at the transformation of English society not through revolution but through “permeation” (in Sidney Webb’s term) of the country’s intellectual and political life.

Now Shaw was a big fan of eugenics, of keeping the gene pool clean and healthy by killing off those who failed to meet certain standards.

Many people think Hitler invented this sort of thing, but Adolf gets a bad rap here. Eugenics was practised by liberal Western democracies before he came along. It only fell out of favour because of Hitler.

That said, Shaw the Fabian was a big fan of Hitler. And Mussolini.

Here’s GBS talking about “useless people“.

Make no mistake . . . Fabians are elitists who believe they’re too clever to be constrained by democracy, or the moral standards of most decent people. Being above the common herd means they can rule the rest of us whether we consent or not.

And as there are too many of us, we must be culled . . . to save the planet.

◊

GROUNDS FOR OPTIMISM

The Trump administration has thrown a big spanner in the Globalist works. For it’s dismantling the Deep State, cleansing the FBI and the CIA, ensuring fair elections, defunding the NGO’s that push the Globalist message, exposing Big Pharma (that gave us vaccines more damaging than Covid itself), and daily ridiculing the Globalist-controlled media for its lies and double standards.

And Trump himself has correctly dismissed the ‘climate crisis’ as a “scam”.

Leaving the Globalists with Europe. But even here their grip is shaky.

The government in France has just fallen, with Marine Le Pen’s party leading in the polls. In Germany, AfD is also ahead in the polls. Though in the run-up to the election in North Rhine-Westphalia (pop 18m), this coming Sunday, no fewer than seven AfD candidates and reserve candidates have died suddenly.

Alternative for Deutschland co-leader Alice Weidel amplified speculation when she reposted economist Stefan Homburg’s comment that the number of candidate deaths was “statistically impossible,” the BBC reported.

And how long before Starmer decides he wants to spend more time with his Ukrainian rent boys?

There is restlessness elsewhere in the EU. In the east, Hungary no longer obeys the EU Commission; Poland refuses mass immigration, and other countries in the region, such as Slovakia and Bulgaria, are becoming very sceptical of the ‘European project’.

While in Ireland, MMA fighter Conor Macgregor may be the people’s choice for president (a largely ceremonial role), but might be shut out by a political system designed to protect and promote itself rather than serve democracy.

The other great obstacle to the success of the Globalist power and property grab is of course Russia.

As part of the deal to overlook the corruption and the Nazism, and to prepare Ukraine for war, the country had to ‘open up’ to foreign investment. And while foreigners may not own farmland directly, foreign interests own many of the oligarchs and corrupt politicians in whose names the land is held.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

There will be massive profits to be made from ‘restructuring’ what’s left of post-war Ukraine. And it’ll be Globalist corporations making those profits. In the same way that Halliburton and other well-connected outfits profited from rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan.

The problem for the Globalists with Ukraine is that much of the land they’ve bought or invested in through proxies will be under Russian control. Which explains why Zelensky has been stopped from signing agreements that could have brought the slaughter to an end.

Ukraine must carry on fighting.

And it’s why BoJo flew to Kiev in April 2022.

Multiple insider accounts and published interviews suggest that during his trip to Kyiv on 10 April 2022, Johnson may have actively dissuaded Zelensky from pursuing negotiations with Russia at that critical time.

The Globalists may want the EU and NATO to keep the Ukraine regime standing, but their wet dream is war with Russia. Because it’s a win-win.

If Russia loses they’ll be able to plunder its vast untapped resources. But even if Russia wins, they still get the reconstruction contracts.

It’s one hell of a business model!

◊

WHY I’M PUTTING INDEPENDENCE ON HOLD

The West is facing a bigger threat today than at any time in the past. Those I’ve written about are already telling us what to think, what we’re allowed to say.

In their upside-down world truth becomes a ‘conspiracy theory’, or ‘misinformation’, or ‘disinformation’.

Promoting this agenda has resulted in modern leftists becoming quixotic, and divorced from reality; fighting imaginary enemies and supporting absurd ’causes’.

Backed by a political establishment – and here I mean all parties – that’s failed Wales completely in 26 years of devolution. We have no economy to speak of, the NHS is collapsing, and our children may not be able to read and write but they’ve been brainwashed into believing there are 96 genders.

To give more power to such dangerous clowns would see Wales rejoin the corrupt and declining EU, declare war on Israel (perhaps also Russia), arm Antifa, and open the borders to every murderer, money launderer, drug pusher and rapist who could satisfy them he had little white blood polluting his oppressed system.

Until those who’ve swallowed the Globalist-Woke nonsense come to their senses, until the spell is broken and sanity returns to the West, then this old ‘flagshagger’ believes independence for Wales would be disastrous.

Until the war on the West and its peoples ends we must bide our time. Remember that Cervantes’ classic concludes with Don Quixote renouncing his delusions.

Follow The Money, To The Bank, And Beyond?

On By JacIn Climate, Colonialism, Corruption, Environmentalism, Globalism, Greens31 Comments

While I wait for more information promised on the Siddiqi gang, eHarley Street, and a raft of other companies, here’s a quickie I kind of stumbled upon after following the money trail when someone pointed me towards a piece in ‘Welsh Government’-funded Nation.Cymru.

◊

WHERE WE AT?

We’re in Carmarthenshire, around Brechfa, between the A485, the Carmarthen to Llanybydder road; and the B4337, Llandeilo to Llanybydder.

More particularly, the woodland area shown on the map below (in green), which lies east, west, and north of Brechfa village, and known, unsurprisingly, as Brechfa Forest. An area already cursed with many wind turbines and, for some reason, it’s also a regular venue for illegal raves.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

You can read the N.C article for yourself, it’s very short.

It’s the usual ‘Welsh Government’ output: saving the planet, ‘future generations’, planting trees, capturing that wicked carbon, etc. All rather desperate, especially with the whole climate scam being increasingly rejected.

Anyway, if your stomach’s up to it, here’s the WG bullshit I’m referring to.

But my odyssey really kicked off when someone drew my attention to this advertisement for land around Banc farm, near Abergorlech, described as being ideal for ‘carbon credit’ woodland. On the map above you can see that Abergorlech is to the north east of Brechfa village, and the map below shows that Banc farm is to the north west of Abergorlech.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The agent is Goldcrest Land & Forestry Group LLP, a relatively new entity, Incorporated November 2020. The link above takes you to their website, and here’s their entry with Companies House. The partnership is registered in Scotland.

Let’s begin with the founding partners. These are: John Fenning Welstead, Jonathan Mark Lambert, and John ‘Jock’ Hunter Galbraith. Though Companies House contradicts his Linkedin profile by saying Welstead left at the end of March 2023. (Or maybe his Linkedin profile needs to be updated.)

Before setting up Goldcrest, these three worked for John Clegg & Co of Edinburgh, at 2 Rutland Square. This company is also in the business of selling forestry and woodland.

Though it’s no longer independent. For as the website tells us:

John Clegg & Co is part of Strutt & Parker, a trading style of BNP Paribas Real Estate, which is part of the global BNP Paribas Group. As such, we have unique access to global clients, macro intelligence and financial services and products.

After a name change to Coban 2017, becoming a LLP, then swallowed up by the French company Paribas, John Clegg & Co finally dissolved in November 2018.

◊

THE SPORT OF KINGS

At the former Clegg address, 2 Rutland Square, we now find Weatherbys Private Bank. Which seems to have opened its office in the Scottish capital in 2015.

If the name Weatherbys sounds familiar, it may be because the group is big in horse racing and bloodstock circles.

Here’s the Companies House entry for Weatherbys Bank, and we see that ultimate control rests with Weatherbys Bank Holdings Ltd.

So, at first sight, it might appear that John Clegg & Co was just a company taken over by a multinational corporation, with Weatherbys Bank moving into the vacated office, and that’s it, with no connection between them.

My belief is that while Clegg was taken over (and may still exist in some form), three Clegg employees set up on their own with some link to Weatherbys.

I say that partly because Weatherbys Bank moved into the John Clegg & Co building in Rutland Square (they may even have shared it for a while); and also because ‘Goldcrest’ is a name closely associated with Weatherbys.

As Google AI Overview puts it:

“Goldcrest” refers to the Racing Gold Account offered by Weatherbys Private Bank, a UK private bank and also the Weatherbys Racing Bank, which provides financial services to the racing industry.

And ‘carbon capture’ woodland is a safer bet than the gee-gees.

As you just read, Weatherbys Bank is controlled by Weatherbys Bank Holdings Ltd, and that’s where we turn next.

Weatherbys Bank Holdings was run by the Weatherby family, until last July, when Roger Nicholas Weatherby and Johnny Roger Weatherby ceased to have control, and were replaced by David Charles Bellamy, Harry Alexander Lawson-Johnston, and Pollyanna Mary Carr.

So who are the three now controlling Weatherby Bank Holdings and, through that power, Weatherbys Private bank?

Bellamy seems to be a big-time investor. We’ll leave it at that.

While Lawson-Johnston gets mentioned in the Pandora Papers, in connection with an outfit called LJ Skye Services Ltd. When we go to the node for that company (below) we find Edward Philip Lawson-Johnston, who may be his twin brother.

The ‘LJ’ in Skye LJ Services is probably Lawson Johnston.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Intriguingly, also in that second node we see the names Charles Peter Nigel Filmer and Antonia Carmen Sybilla Filmer. And if that name sounds familiar, it’s because a man named Filmer, with a Venezuela connection, cropped up in a couple of pieces I did last October about goings-on over at Ireland Moor, east of Builth.

Here they are: ‘Commoners, Toffs, Envirogrifters‘, and ‘More From Ireland Moor‘.

Filmer’s an unusual name, so I’d bet a bottle of Malbec on there being a connection.

There was also a LJ Skye Ltd registered in the UK, dissolved 26 March 2019. And there’s LJ Skye Trustees on the Isle of Man, which links with Roxy International Ltd, of the British Virgin Islands.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

I’d bet on there being other incarnations of LJ Skye scattered about the globe.

The third member of the trio named as controlling Weatherby Bank Holdings is Pollyanna Carr. She may be South African, for she has Oppenheimer links; and she’s been involved in a number of companies, a current one being, Westside YTW Ltd.

I can’t tell you anything about this company except that Carr is the only director, but control is exercised by a Wendy Fisher of the USA. It has no money, and the sole share is held by Wise Wyoming LLC. But using a service address in New York City.

Curiously, Wise Wyoming LLC is registered with Companies House as an Overseas Entity, but again, details are skeletal.

Another company Carr’s connected with that caught my jaundiced old eye was Climate Outreach Information Network. Here’s the website. Where we read:

Climate Outreach works with people and organisations to help create new climate stories.

Every year, we work with hundreds of partners – from charities to governments to business – to help them navigate difficult climate conversations and unlock more ambitious climate action.

Climate Outreach is also a charity (1123315), and I visited the Charity Commission website. Seeing as there was little or no government funding I wondered where the lucre was coming from, and so I checked the accounts.

The latest filed accounts, page 7, makes clear Climate Outreach has contacts in Wales. CAT (obviously), and Development Trusts Association Wales. Here’s a group photo of DTA staff at CAT.

The biggest single funder, making up almost half of all Climate Outreach funding, is named as, “Ebor Charitable Trust DAF on behalf of Macdoch Foundation“.

Though I drew a blank when trying to track down the Ebor Charitable Trust DAF. It’s certainly not registered with the Charity Commission or Companies House. Is it based outside the UK?

As for the Macdoch Foundation, this is a big Aussie outfit. The website is so touch-feely and insufferably Woke that I almost threw up reading it.

CONCLUSION

So what have we got here?

A small patch of land in south west Wales, that’s been worked and loved by Welsh families for countless generations, is being sold off by ‘Welsh Government’ subsidiary, Natural Resources Wales.

Done through a new company in Scotland that may be linked with a private bank. A bank that appears to have been taken over by an odd trio that includes a guy with an offshore stash, and a woman named Pollyanna working for a crew that helps “create new climate stories“.

The way things are going there’ll be little left of this country that we Welsh will own. But don’t be selfish, look at the bigger picture – we’re saving the planet!

Angry? You bet I’m fucking angry. Angry with the lying bastards who dreamed up and are making fortunes from the climate scam, and also angry with the fools who fell for that scam.
