Follow The Money, To The Bank, And Beyond?

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.

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.

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.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

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.

eHarley Street: An Update

Last week I put out a piece about a GP management company, eHarley Street Central Management Ltd, that had been given a contract by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board to run a number of GP practices in the Gwent valleys.

The piece was written following many reports that eHarley Street’s behaviour towards patients, staff, and suppliers, was appalling; with patients neglected and nobody getting paid. I concluded this was due to eHarley Street not being interested in delivering primary health care.

Which meant there was something else going on. I concluded that that ‘something’ was money. Money that liked to travel.

BRICKS AND MORTAR

When I was digging around last week I soon realised that those mentioned in the press reports, Dr Jalil Ahmed and Dr Jonathan Edward Allinson, were not the ones really controlling eHarley Street.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

For behind them was Harley Street Health Online Ltd and Mrs Nabeela Siddiqi. Digging deeper brought me to Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi, perhaps Mrs Siddiqi’s husband, operating in the background.

He was clearly the main man.

SAINTS, SINNERS, SIBLINGS

Something else I turned up researching last week’s piece was a Muslim cleric with a very similar name to Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi, but I couldn’t be sure it was the same man.

Then I had a comment to last week’s piece that read:

Aqtab Faizul Siddiqi is the Muslim cult leader at Hijaz College in Nuneaton. He set up Sharia courts in UK . . .

He is an Hawala banker moving dark money. He has used thousands of UK companies and property to do this.

So it turns out that the man I was unsure about is the head of Hijaz College, in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, which was founded by his father.

Much of the comment made sense, but not the reference to “Hawala“, so I thought I’d better Google it.

AI Overview came up with:

In the UK, hawala, or informal value transfer systems, are legal if they are operated within the framework of regulations for money service businesses. This means they need to be registered with HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) and comply with regulations designed to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. While hawala itself is not illegal, it can be used for criminal activities, which is why strict regulations are in place. 

The NCA (National Crime Agency) has actively warned against the misuse of hawala systems, particularly in relation to organized immigration crime. 

Fascinating stuff. “Money laundering and terrorist financing“. Also, “organised immigration crime“.

That comment confirmed that Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi, the man behind eHarley Street, is indeed Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi; alternatively, His Eminence Hazrat Shaykh Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi Saheb.

Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi (born 1967) is a Muslim scholar, principal of the Hijaz College, founder of Hijaz Community, founder of Hijaz Expo, national convener for the campaign for Global Civility, National Convenor of the Muslim Action Committee (MAC), President General of the International Muslims Organisation, Grand Blessed Guide of the Naqshbandi Qadri Hijazi Sufi Order, Chairman of Muslim Arbitration Tribunal, international lecturer in Islam, and a barrister at law.

I was always aware of the Sunni-Shia divide in Islam, but there are clearly sub-divisions within those two camps.

Siddiqi is Sunni, but in addition, a Sufi, a Salafist, and also Wahhabi. Wahhabism being the interpretation of Islam dominant in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Quite a potent mix. Hard-line, back-to-basics Islam, with strict adherence to Sharia law.

Also mentioned in Siddiqi’s various bios is Hejaz.

But let’s now turn to his brothers and his brother-in-law. As far as I can make out, these are: “Zain ul Aqtab Siddiqi, Noor ul Aqtab Siddiqi, Qamar Siddiqi and Shaykh Tauqir Ishaq”, taken from this FB post.

What I find interesting is that this source is obviously a Muslim, but one who thinks the Siddiqi clan is not doing Islam any favours.

I was intrigued by this bit.

As well as having a foothold in the Midlands in the UK, the Siddiqi brothers travel to other countries including; Australia, Fiji Islands, South Africa and are involved in many Islamic projects and interact with ulema who seem to be unaware of the antics and reality of these individuals.

Here’s a report from Fiji.

Last week in my digging I ran across this piece about a solicitor permanently banned from being a charity trustee, and I wondered if he was related to our man. He is, and he’s brother Zain. Who was also barred from practising unsupervised.

Zain Siddiqi was also done back in 2007 for running a profitable, but illegal, immigration business according to the Manchester Evening News. Fancy that!

Another brother, Qamar the doctor, was accused of rape when, by his own admission, he behaved like a “like a dog on heat. He may have got off with it.

He now plies his trade in Stoke-on-Trent. Hopefully, behaving himself. Though he maintains links with north west England through Dr QES Ltd.

Then there’s Noor-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, another legal eagle, who also serves as big brother’s No. 2 at the Hijaz College in Nuneaton. Here he is pushing for Sharia law but hiding it behind ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution).

While here he’s at “a ceremony in London marking the spiritual principles for climate justice in parallel with the COP – 27 UN climate conference“. Pictured with some bearded old git from Swansea.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

” . . . the spiritual principles for climate justice in parallel with the COP – 27 UN climate conference”.

Dangerous bastards wanting global omnipotence dream up a scam to restrict freedoms and destroy the West – yet a claque of holy men invest this evil with a ‘spiritual’ dimension.

Pass me the sick bag!

Noor’s day jobs are with Tower Bridge Legal Ltd and The Birmingham Legal Partnership Ltd. Both of which he controls. Neither seems to have any money. And then there’s the inevitable real estate company.

This being MKIZU Ltd, registered in March 2021. It seems to be a company formed just to buy a property. Because it took out a loan in April 2022 to buy a detached, four-bedroom house in Coventry. But now, with filings overdue at Companies House, it looks to be heading down the Swannee, debt unpaid.

Finally, we’ll look at brother-in-law, Shaykh Tauqir Alam Ishaq, also of Hijaz College, who gives advice to young Muslim women. You’ll love this!

His ‘spiritual guidance’ often involves telling those who come to him that he’s been told in a dream they must secretly marry him, and no one must know until “the time is right“.

Nikkah being a marriage contract in Islam that allows sexual intimacy, but is not legally recognised in the UK.

Mmm.

As the writer of the piece I just linked to explained:

The final straw was when I discovered I was one of a number of women with whom he had conducted secret nikkahs over the years.

As you can probably guess, that ‘right time’ never comes because the shaykh claims his highly informative dreams then tell him to divorce the women he’s deceived and taken advantage of.

Out of nowhere he informed me he had received a further revelation, again in a dream, that he was to divorce me.

Ishaq is another one with a medical company in Medical Staff Ltd. Formed a couple of years back with £1, and of course it files as dormant. And he’s had a few other companies of a distinctly shell-like appearance.

This Siddiqi clan, hiding behind a veneer of religious respectability, remind me very much of former Brexit party MEP, Welsh Assembly Member, and all-round bad egg, Nathan Gill, and his extended Mormon family.

They’ve appeared many times on this blog. Just type ‘Nathan Gill’ into the search box.

So, in reverse order, we have brother-in-law, Tauqir Alam Ishaq who, according to the source I’ve quoted, tricks Muslim women into sex with promises of marriage.

Next, we need to consider social climber, Noor-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi. Something I forgot to mention earlier is that he also has a string of short-lived shell companies to his name.

How can we forget Qamar, the ‘hot’ doctor?

Then there’s Zain, the very iffy solicitor.

Finally, we come to the oldest of the brothers, head of the clan, Faizul; the man behind eHarley Street, with his vast collection of mollusc exoskeletons.

And they’re all connected with this ‘college’ founded by their father (/father-in-law).

CONCLUSION

In the first part of this inquiry last week I looked into companies we can number in the hundreds, almost all of them shell companies, apparently doing no business and serving no useful purpose.

The important word there being ‘apparently’.

By various routes, these companies may feed into an entity registered in the super-secretive Seychelles. But with a presence in the Netherlands, where the Siddiqi clan seems to have connections.

Behind this empire is a man we can now confidently identify as a Muslim cleric of distinctly Fundamentalist bent. He is Faizal Aqtab Siddiqi, or Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, or even His Eminence Hazrat Shaykh Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi Saheb, a man who wants to introduce Sharia law, legitimise polygamy, and God knows what else.

As we’ve seen, other family members are far from spotless.

And yet, despite it all, the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board felt it was a good idea to let this crew, fronted by the doctors Jalil Ahmed and Jonathan Edward Allinson, take over surgeries in the poorest part of Wales.

We need to know WHO took that decision.

We need to know WHY they took that decision.

We need to know the terms of the contract and if it’s still valid.

And we need assurances that nothing similar will happen again.

Perhaps my real worry is that we’re dealing here with men who use the laws of the land they live in, but then, when it suits them, for financial gain or sexual gratification, choose to reject the laws of the ‘non-believers’.

Though this report serves to remind us of the utter confusion of the modern Left – opposed to religion but supportive of those wanting to impose a legal system on us all that is entirely religious in its origins and application.

Socialism has always been the enemy of the West. But never more so than today.

♦ end ♦

Footnote: On August 28 I received a letter from a solicitor who claimed to be acting for “Dr Jalil Ahmed, Dr Jonathan Edward Allinson, Dr Nabeela Siddiqi, and affiliated professional organisations“.

Here’s the letter. Here’s my response.

© Royston Jones 2025

What’s Up With eHarley Street, Doc? And Where’s The Money?

Problems with primary health care provision in parts of south east Wales have been reported for a while. You’re about to read a fuller account. And the fuller it gets, the more disturbing it becomes.

TO EXPLAIN . . .

It seems the contract to run a number of GP surgeries was awarded to a ‘GP management company’ which then employed the doctors and the other staff required.

But problems soon emerged. And these seemed to fall into two broad categories.

First, there was the quality of the service provided to patients. In some cases, no service at all. Even where there was a rudimentary service, questions arose over hygiene and other matters.

And then there was the issue of non-payment of staff, including doctors. Also, non-payment of suppliers, which resulted in sites being without oxygen and other necessities.

I believe the contract was awarded some time in 2024 because I suspect it links with legislation that came into effect late in 2023. I’m referring now to The National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) (Wales) Regulations 2023.

This legislation was an attempt by our respected tribunes down in Corruption Bay to ‘streamline’ and simplify health care provision. What could possibly go wrong?

Now let’s get something straight before going any further. Politicians’ contributions and media reports keep telling us that the contract was awarded to a company called ‘eHarley Street’, but are always vague on the details.

The truth is, as this FoI response from the ‘Welsh Government’ makes clear, the contract was awarded to two GPs: Dr Jalil Ahmed and Dr Jonathan Edward Allinson.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

(While I found two Jalil Ahmads registered on the GMC website, one of whom could be our man, I couldn’t find Allinson.)

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

These two are directors of some 50-odd companies in the eHarley Street stable. All formed in the past five years, and almost all of them shell companies, filing as dormant.

All using the address: ‘Hollybush, Upper Bond Street, Hinkley, Leicestershire LE10 1DA’. Which might sound like a nice upmarket property, but is in fact a former pub, of the type knocked up in the 1950s and ’60s. (I knew a few back in Swansea.)

Hollybush Inn, Hinckley, Leicestershire. Click to open enlarged in separate tab

More recently, it’s served as a restaurant, or pizzeria. Possibly with a flat above.

If I’d seen that those applying for the contract to look after tens of thousands of people in some of the poorest part of Wales were using a run-down pub as their corporate HQ, then alarm bells would have sounded.

At the very least, I would have done some background checks!

WHO’S WHO AT eHARLEY STREET AND LINKED COMPANIES

Ahmed and Allinson are named as the directors of all the eHarley Street companies. Control over these companies is exercised by Harley Street Health Online Ltd, using the same imposing address in Leicestershire.

Though this company also files as dormant, with no money going through the books. At the most recent declaration, the 100 shares were allocated to: Ahmed and Allinson, 25 each; with 50 to Mrs Nabeela Siddiqi who is also named as ‘the person with significant control’ (PSC) over the company.

And, by extension, the eHarley Street empire. Though this seems to be an empire devoid of both funds and tangible assets.

So, again, how were those involved offered GP contracts in south east Wales?

For there’s no question that those involved with eHarley Street were suspect. I say that because they seemed to follow the same MO in other areas. Here’s a report from Northamptonshire.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

As I’ve mentioned, the PSC for what appears to be the parent company, is Mrs Nabeela Siddiqi. And before her it was Mr Faizul (Faiz) Aqtab Siddiqi, who I take to be related. Her husband?

He describes himself as a barrister, but I can find no trace of him on the Barristers’ Register website.

He has a number of companies to his name. There’s HSA Property One Ltd, HSA Property Two Ltd, and HSA Property Three Ltd. All using the Hollybush address. These three companies also filed as dormant, and were all dissolved in July 2023.

His partner in these companies was Halima Ali, or Halima Ali-Fehrmann. Who has or had her own company in H A Audiologists Ltd. This never seemed to turn a profit, now files as dormant, and has avoided a number of attempts at compulsory strike-off.

Another of Siddiqi’s companies is Select Villages Ltd, in the hotel and accommodation business. Also at the Hollybush. The other director here is Dutch resident/citizen Archino Faried Afzal Ali Chedie.

Then there’s Weight Mangement 360 Ltd. Where we find Ahmed Jalil and Jonathan Edward Allinson keeping Siddiqi company. This gives as its address: Suite 5a, 2nd Floor 1-9 Castle Street, Hinckley, Leicestershire, LE10 1DA. We’ll look at this address in a mo.

Another company where we find Chedie, formed as recently as 30 May this year, is Halalification Ltd. I can’t think of any way to interpret that name other than the promotion – imposition? – of Islamic dietary rules.

I wonder what might happen to someone starting a company called ‘Porkification’, promoting bangers, bacon, and Homer Simpson’s favourite – pork chops?

Let me just conclude this section with information on the erstwhile watering-hole in Hinckley. The Land Registry title document tells us it’s owned by Narrative Options Ltd of Watford. But that company appears to have relocated to the Hollybush. Or at least, that’s the address it’s using.

The sole director is an Imran Khan. But the Narrative Options PSC is given as Pearlsfield Enterprises Ltd, also of the Hollybush. And directors of this outfit are given as Chedie, and another Meneer in Mohamed Annes Fatehmahomed.

In fact, Fatehmahomed is or was a named director of no fewer than 171 property and real estate companies, all of which seem to run by Pearlsfield Enterprises. And guess the address for this array of companies!

Who runs Pearlsfield Enterprises? Well it’s Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi. Again.

Siddiqi is also named in the Pandora Papers, linked with MAQ Group Inc of the Seychelles. And I know it’s him because in this diagram we also see Fatehmahomed.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

And to clinch matters, MAQ Group was registered with Companies House in January as an Overseas entity. Giving an address in the Netherlands but confirming that it’s a Seychelles-registered company.

And confirming Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi as beneficial owner.

The Abid Mahmood Mughal mentioned in the diagram above is yet another Dutch resident or citizen living in England. And you’ll never guess where the office is for his AMM Design Consultancy Ltd. Go on – have a guess!

UPDATE 13.08.2025: I’m indebted to a good source for further information.

In January 2023, following the suspension of Dr Adem Akyol, the Isle of Thanet News told its readers that Newington Road GP surgery was under new management.

The new directors are listed as Dr Jalil Ahmed and Dr Jonathan Allinson

In December, the surgery was put up for sale with an asking price of £900,000. Here’s one of the comments from readers. Interestingly, Uden is an estate agent.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

And I think this is the key. A group of people with medical credentials now view surgeries and other primary health care facilities as real estate opportunities.

No health board should be doing business with these people.

CONCLUSION

I could go on, but it would just be more in the same vein. Such as the 22 new companies formed this year with Allinson and Ahmed fronting, Nabeela Siddiqi posing as the person with control, the shares divvied up between them . . . but you just know there’s an unnamed presence in the shadows.

These new companies use names like ‘GP Medical Property (number)’, and ‘GMPS (number)’. They were all formed this year, some as recently as this month. After it became obvious the game was up with eHarley Street.

The only change is that they’re using a new address, but still in Hinckley. Now it’s 1st Floor, 1-9, Castle Street.

This has been a complex investigation and, as I suggested at the top, somewhat disturbing. Because the more I dug the more I wondered what the hell was going on. And why it was allowed to happen.

On the face of it, someone decided to a give contracts to provide GP services to two characters who would have been rumbled by the most elementary background checks. So who made that decision?

Was it the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board?

Was it the ‘Welsh Government’?

Was it civil servants?

Those who made the decision(s) owe the people of Brynmawr, Blaenavon, Pontypool, Tredegar, Liswerry, Butetown, Ystrad Mynach, and other areas an explanation.

Then there’s the money. Ahmed Jalil and Jonathan Edward Allinson were being paid to provide GP services. They failed. They also failed to pay their staff, and their suppliers, both in Wales and in England. So where did the money go?

Did it pass through the labyrinth of companies controlled by Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi and end up in his Seychelles nest egg?

Leaving the world of healthcare we find that Siddiqi has had an inglorious business career, with a string of failed and dissolved companies to his name. Either short-lived shells that never filed, and sank without trace, or else companies going under with major debts.

And let’s not forget the companies where he’s ‘Faiz’ Siddiqi.

One thing’s for sure . . . not paying doctors, cleaners, suppliers, was a planned and organised rip-off. And it should be treated as such. We are dealing with crooks.

And so, I believe it’s time for the police to get involved.

Also, perhaps, the General Medical Council.

Most important of all is putting in place measures to ensure that treatment of the sick and elderly in our poorest communities is never again handed over to outside contractors without rigorous background checks being carried out.

There must be no repeat of this débâcle.

‘Farming’ – The Globalist Way!

Let me stress that the blog is not back, as such, not up and running as in days of yore. I’m just putting out the occasional piece.

This one because it complements last week’s offering about Globalists who dreamed up the ‘climate crisis’ now profiting from measures introduced to combat that fantasy.

And as with last week’s piece, we’ll see asset management funds, fund managers and the rest, staying in the background, operating through intermediaries.

WHERE WE AT?

The farm in question is Rhos-farch, above Pennal. South-facing land overlooking the Dyfi and rising up to Tarren Hendre, the highest point in the immediate area (633m), shown in pink on the maps below.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The consensus is that the farm’s been bought by Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust. There’s even a suggestion it’s been “gifted“.

Either way, the rumours talk of money provided by Aviva, the insurance company, which often fronts for BlackRock; which uses bodies like WWF, and Wildlife Trusts, to disguise the origin of the funding.

Nothing surprising there, because Aviva is working with other wildlife trusts in Wales, sometimes as part of the temperate rainforests restoration project.

Here’s estate agent Savills’ information for Rhos-farch. We see it covers 625 acres, and the asking price is £3,500,000. The property offers . . .

Diverse leisure, sporting, tree planting and environmental opportunities.

Strangely, there’s no mention of farming.

A1 Overview suggests the farm has done well from ‘Welsh Government’ or Natural Resources Wales funding over the past decade.

The farm participates in Welsh Government schemes like the Woodland Creation and Woodland Restoration Schemes. 

Farmers Weekly hints at further goodies available from tree planting.

The woodland includes coniferous and deciduous varieties and there is potential for further planting as identified by a recent feasibility survey carried out by Natural Resources Wales.

Though I’m struggling with this because the FW article is dated February 6, 2024, while what I assume to be the relevant document, the Machynlleth Forest Resource Plan, wasn’t approved until April.

Did somebody have a crystal ball?

The reference further confused by the fact Rhos-farch doesn’t seem to figure in the maps provided in the document.

OTHERS INVOLVED

Scrolling down the estate agent’s literature we see that the solicitor listed (presumably acting for the vendor) is Agri Advisor. A Welsh company that’s expanded considerably in recent years, and now has branches everywhere.

There’s no branch in Cardiff itself, but there is one at Henstaff Court, just off the M4, south of Creigiau.

In cases like this, I like to get my bearings, but in this case Google Maps couldn’t take me beyond the entrance. Yet what I saw there was intriguing.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Now you’re wondering why I highlighted the names of Agri Advisor and RSK ADAS.

Some may remember that RSK ADAS has appeared on this blog before. First, in Snake Oil And Land Grabs (December 2023), then More From Ireland Moor (October 2024).

In the first piece linked to, I said:

Tracing the ownership of RSK ADAS eventually gets us to Los Angeles and “global alternative investment manager” the Ares Management Corporation. You may not be surprised to learn that among the largest of Ares’ shareholders we find both BlackRock and Vanguard.

Agri Advisor and RSK ADAS being on the same board could be pure coincidence. But there are already too many worrying linkages and connections in this story to allow for any more coincidences.

Agri Advisor presents itself as the friend of the farmer, run by solicitors from Welsh-speaking farming families, a pukka Welsh organisation. Yet I have some doubts.

I feel it’s got increasingly close to the ‘Welsh Government, perhaps through Farming Connect, the state-run body for ‘good’ farmers.

Another source of confusion is the website, which has the company “Established in 2011“. But Companies House says Agri Advisor Ltd was formed in February 2013, Agri Advisor Holdings Ltd in May 2015, and Agri Advisor Legal LLP in February 2016.

The first two have always filed as dormant, the LLP is the operational company.

Then there’s the fact that AA has worked with wind farm companies. One I’m sure of is Belltower of Bristol, where the ownership trail takes us back to Foresight Group Holdings Ltd of Guernsey.

And if the name ‘Foresight’ rings a bell, it’s because this outfit has been buying up Welsh farms for distant investors to greenwash away their sins by planting trees.

Foresight is well in with the ‘Welsh Government’, and is no longer limiting its activities to wind turbines and trees. Its new Cardiff office seems to be run by former Development Bank of Wales staff.

So maybe Agri Advisors is now telling farmers they have to ‘adapt’, to give up land for renewables, ‘carbon capture’, rewilding, and all the other bollocks that serve no purpose except to further enrich the Globalists who dreamed up the ‘climate crisis’ scam.

All in all, it increasingly looks as if Agri Advisor is running with the hares and hunting with the hounds.

To conclude. Rhos-farch has either been bought by the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust with money from Aviva, Foresight, or possibly the ‘Welsh Government’; or it’s been bought by one of these and handed over, with strings, to the Trust.

Could we be looking at another Gilestone?

CONCERNS

Rhos-farch has been sold by a couple I won’t name, but I cannot ignore the fact that the wife is a very senior civil servant with the ‘Welsh Government’.

I might have ignored her if she was in education, health, transport, or some other area, but here’s a clip from her Linkedin profile.

And then I found this, referring to the husband:

. . . before acquiring his own holding and further acreage, taking his holding to 1200 acres, increasing the sheep and suckler cow numbers along with diversifying into tourism, letting residential properties and renewable energy and timber production.

This all refers to land and property in Montgomeryshire, not to Rhos-farch.

After reading it I was drawn back to what Savills said in its sales blurb:

 The current woodland is within both a Woodland Creation Scheme and Woodland Restoration Scheme regulated by Natural Resources Wales and with a number of years remaining on the contracts.

The unavoidable question is: have this couple’s land holdings and other assets benefitted from ‘Welsh Government’ decisions with which the wife was involved?

SOCIALISM AND FARMING

Socialists have been hostile towards farmers since the Tolpuddle Martyrs were shipped off to Oz in 1834, and it was reinforced a century later by Stalin’s war on the kulaks for starving the workers and peasants. (Famine that had nothing to do with ‘Uncle Joe’ and collectivisation.)

When such attitudes became passé after the fall of Communism, socialists’ animus was revived by the Globalists and their buddies in various supranational bodies inventing the ‘climate crisis’. This also gave the Left a new excuse to target another old foe – capitalism.

But while many of the bruvvers still thought in terms of the caricature capitalist with top hat, big cigar, and dark satanic mills, the twenty-first century variety makes nothing, and is in fact pulling their strings.

And so the comrades’ new crusade was to save a planet being destroyed by farting cows and people who make things. In other words – destroy agriculture and de-industrialise the West. The Globalist agenda.

Which results in the industry with the highest percentage of Welsh speakers, the ‘glue’ holding together many rural communities, being destroyed by lying bastards who claim they want a million Welsh speakers by 2050.

AND FINALLY . . .

To understand how Globalism operates, look no further than the UK Online Safety Act. Said to be protecting children from online harm but, in reality, censoring views that challenge or expose the Globalist agenda.

Globalist greed, and the desire to control, is filtered through captured politicians and a bought media, and either hides behind a ‘Who-could-object-to-that?‘ smokescreen, or else is premised on a lie.

On the plus side . . . the Globalist project is faltering; its Leftist and Muslim foot-soldiers are seen for what they are, its liberal useful idiots are ridiculed, Woke is dying, and no one is going to fight WWIII for Zelensky and his crooked friends.

Reducing the Globalists to open, blanket censorship and ever more obvious lies.

All-out confrontation can’t be far away.

Saving The Planet – The Globalist Way!

This is something I considered putting out on X; in fact I did, briefly. But more digging made me realise it was so illustrative of the state of Wales it merited a piece on the briefly revived blog.

HOW IT BEGAN

It all started when I noticed a couple of unfamiliar vans in our street. I didn’t recognise the livery, they carried 03333 phone numbers. One had been registered in Bath, the other in Nottingham.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Curiosity aroused, I thought I’d check out the website given on the vans. But when I tried to reach www.advanceenergy.co.uk I hit the brick wall you see below. Nothing’s been posted on the Facebook page since January 2024.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab.

Now I was really curious.

Next stop, the Companies House website. And from here, a picture started to emerge.

Advance Energy Services Ltd began life in October 2016 as Bright Plumbing and Heating Ltd of Pontypridd. It failed to take off, and in January 2019, with compulsory strike-off just averted, two new directors came aboard: one being Michael Ian Wayman.

I mention Wayman because while he was a director at Advance Energy Services he and another man started a company called Advance Energy (UK) Ltd. Formed in October 2019 it gave up the ghost in July 2021 without ever filing accounts.

At the same time, another Wayman family company, Smart Energy Homes Ltd, saw an upsurge in fortunes. Though the sketchy accounts offer no explanation.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Meanwhile, directors came and went at Advance Energy Services, and the company address changed a few times.

But something might then have gone awry. I say that because I turned up this notification on the Financial Conduct Authority website dated February 2023. Wayman and his associate are named.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

From this point on I shall avoid naming Welsh or Wales-based individuals unless I feel it’s necessary. It may be possible to find the names on official documents by following the links. That’s unavoidable.

Just over a year on from the FCA mention, in May 2024, Robert Benjamin Nathaniel Brodie became a director. In fact, he joined a host of companies giving addresses mainly in south east Wales. Here’s his Linkedin profile.

He was joined in March this year, at a number of the companies, by Christopher McLain. McLain seems to have had no directorships before then. Here’s his Linkedin profile.

McLain is CEO of City Energy Network Ltd, while Brodie is the Chief Financial Officer. Here’s the Cairngorm Capital takeover reported.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Returning to Advance Energy Services Ltd, the company secretary works full-time for solar panel and heat pump installer, Heatforce. Where we find Brodie (but not McLain). In fact, Brodie is the sole director now listed for Heatforce.

This company uses an address where we’ll find a few other companies in the table below: Unit 10, Lambourne Crescent, Cardiff Business Park, Llanishen, Cardiff CF14 5GP.

THE WEB

I think the best way to join up the dots is to look at the companies where Robert Benjamin Nathaniel Brodie recently became a director. For he seems to be the key, the link to the ultimate owner.

Here’s the list of Brodie’s companies supplied by Companies House. And below a table I compiled of those companies. (Here in PDF format with working links.)

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

It might look complex, but believe me, everything leads back to Dragon 2023 Topco Ltd and, ultimately, Cairngorm Capital.

There are six names that crop up more than once in the companies found in the table, prior to the takeover by Brodie and McLean. I shall refer to these as The Six.

We find them in Mudrock Investments Ltd. Launched in August 2020, a year or two before they started paving the way (apparently) for Cairngorm Capital.

Mudrock’s into real estate. I know that, partly because Companies House tells us, but also because Mudrock last year applied to Swansea council for a change of use.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

If we turn to the Companies House registration we find only two directors. But the other four can be found on the Certificate of Incorporation, where, if you scroll down, you’ll see The Six have 10 shares each.

The first (skeletal) accounts filed (as at 29.08.2021) showed fixed assets of £390,000. In the most recent (equally skeletal) accounts (to 31.12.2023), Mudrock’s fixed assets had rocketed to £3,142,088.

The address given for Mudrock on the Certificate of Incorporation is Coptic House 4-5 Mount Stuart Square, Cardiff. Though the address used now is a nice little gaff out in Cyncoed.

But it doesn’t end there.

Another strange entity associated with some of those named above was WYRL Ltd, giving an address on Langdon Road, which runs alongside the old Prince of Wales Dock in Swansea. (Where a boy I knew a long time ago used to go fishing.)

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The 120 WYRL shares were distributed between Diversity Network Holdings (80) and one of The Six (40). WYRL was launched 10 March 2023 and folded 20 August 2024 without filing accounts.

Diversity Network Holdings leads back to Cairngorm Capital. (See table above.)

Just before the end, control passed to View Investments Ltd, where we find two of The Six as directors and shareholders. This company has just avoided strike-off.

There are other companies linked to this lot, but life is short. All I will say is that over the years I’ve reported on many companies that start up and then fold without apparently doing anything, without filing accounts.

This often denotes shady dealings, even criminality. I’m not saying that any referred to here are involved in such activities, but it never looks good.

Since the arrival of Cairngorm Capital, financial support for most of the companies named here and listed in the table has come from Alter Domus.

One thing is clear from looking into these companies, and those involved: A lot of money became available around the time Cairngorm Capital showed up.

Footnote: At the time of publication the accounts for, CEN Holdco Ltd, Dragon 2023 Topco Ltd, Dragon 2023 Midco Ltd, Dragon 2023 Bidco Ltd, were overdue with Companies House.

Though I suspect most of these companies, having served their purpose, will now be dissolved. But perhaps not Dragon 2023 Topco Ltd. Not yet, anyway.

For last November there was a share issue amounting to some £100,000,000. Here’s how those shares were divvied up.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

As you can see, The Six came out of it very well.

SURELY NOT!

Something struck me while writing about Cairngorm Capital, operating through companies using ‘Dragon’ in the name.

Because it reminded me of the funding for Parabola Bute Energy and its 666 wind farms (none yet built), which have been getting their funding from Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners through companies using ‘Dragon’ in their names.

One is CI IV Dragon Lender Ltd. Another is CI IV Dragon Holdco Ltd. (Though both have recently changed to CI V.) I suppose using the term is a way of showing these companies operate in Wales.

Something else that struck me was that both Parabola Bute and Cairngorm Capital are based in Edinburgh. Now I appreciate that the Scottish capital is a sizeable city, and a major financial centre, so maybe it could all be dismissed as a coincidence.

Edinburgh. Click to open enlarged in separate tab

But Bute and Cairngorm are both in the electricity business; at different ends, admittedly, but they could complement each other.

Parabola Bute’s wind farms could generate the electricity, be stored in their Battery Energy Storage Systems, distributed by GreenGenCymru, with Cairngorm companies installing the unnecessary but expensive equipment to maximise the profits.

Just a thought.

THERE’S MORE . . .

While I was writing this I received information about something similar happening in the same part of the country and similar kinds of businesses. The name given to me was the Cardo Group.

Naturally, I looked into it. Typing ‘Cardo’ into the Companies House website brings up many options, but here’s the one we’re interested in.

A company Incorporated February 2015 as LCB Construction Holdings Ltd changed its name to LCB Group Holdings Ltd in October 2022, before finally bursting forth as Cardo Group Ltd in May 2023.

LCB was started by a local businessman who is now CEO of Cardo. The website tells us that Cardo provides: ‘A total solution for maintaining and retrofitting homes’.

One cause for concern might be the list of Cardo directors. I suspect that of the 8, our local businessman and a long-time associate may be the only ones living in Wales.

When we turn to ‘person with significant control‘ we see that in May 2023 this passed to BP INV Bidco Ltd. Checking who controls this outfit tells that our local has a minority shareholding, with control exercised by Buckthorn Partners LLP of Jersey.

Here’s the Buckthorn website. It lists Cardo as one of its companies. And three of its directors – Chaichian, Connolly and Fletcher – also sit on the Cardo board.

That Buckthorn board is truly impressive. Two Conservative peers and two chaps called Jonty. Break out the Pimms!

But why did it buy out the operation in Cardiff?

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The answer is that LCB gave Buckthorn entry to the Welsh social housing sector, for heat pumps and all the other bollocks. (But mighty lucrative bollocks.)

Then, because the ‘Welsh Government’ has bought into the climate scam, and it funds housing associations, they must fall into line. Social housing tenants have no choice.

‘Hello, Mrs Evans . . . just to let you know there’ll be a team coming round tomorrow to put a carbon capture plant in your back garden, right love’.

Knowing how close housing associations are to the ‘Welsh Government’, and the Labour party, there is no way that Corruption Bay would have been unaware of Buckthorn’s arrival.

One rabbit hole I sniffed without venturing too far in was Glas Trust Corporation Limited, a funder associated with Cardo, BP INV Bidco, and possibly others since the Buckthorn takeover. (I initially thought it might be Welsh!)

By a tortuous route I found that the ultimate owner is Unicorn Topco Ltd, which is itself said to be currently parentless. Though I suspect a connection with Levine Leichtman through Unicorn director and LL partner Josh Kaufman.

UPDATE 04.08.2025: Since writing this piece there’s been a lot of activity with BP INV6 Bidco Ltd. Many ‘replacement filings’ and ‘clarifications’ related to the allotment of shares, suggesting some confusion.

See what you make of it.

◊ 

FOR THE HARD OF UNDERSTANDING

Let me explain how the Globalist climate scam operates:

1/ Globalist corporations, private equity funds, etc, often working through pressure groups, ‘persuade’ governments to provide funding for green energy projects. In other words, anything that can be sold as saving the planet.

2/ Governments find the funding, even if it means taking money from schools, pensioners, the NHS, neglecting infrastructure, or even raising taxes.

3/ Those who started the process now take over the companies that will be doing the work and serving as conduits for the loot. Or even create new ones.

4/ Globalist corporations, equity funds and the rest then trouser the money they themselves persuaded governments to shell out in the first place.

They might keep the names of local companies, or give new companies Welsh-sounding names, to create the impression that it’s all owned by tidy boys from roun’ by ‘ere.

Let me pause here and make something clear. I believe in independence and the capitalist economic model. I want to see Welsh entrepreneurs and Welsh companies employing Welsh people and building a strong Welsh economy.

But what we’ve looked at here, what we see with the ‘Welsh economy’ in general, is window-dressing. The control always lies elsewhere, and that’s where the profits go.

Because the socialists wrecking Wales prefer silly gestures to building an economy. Apparently believing we Welsh must be protected from the corrupting influence of prosperity.

FINAL THOUGHTS

What you’ve read here is so typical of Wales after 26 years of devolution and Welsh politicians being suckered into obeying the Globalist agenda.

Yet stupid enough to believe they’re doing the right thing!

I keep referring to the ‘climate scam’, because that’s what it is. Dreamt up by a corrupt and decadent elite that bribes, blackmails, or brainwashes politicians and others.

Here we see that class in pursuit of greater wealth and total control.

The wealth comes by many routes, not just the Net Zero lie I’ve just described.

Authoritarianism creeps up through censorship we’re told is vital to protect us from ‘misinformation’, ‘disinformation’, the ‘far right’, ‘climate deniers’, ‘transphobes’, Nigel Farage, ‘Islamophobes’, Donald Trump, and Uncle Tom Cobleigh an’ all.

Authoritarianism to shout down the truth about the ‘climate crisis’; to defend rape gangs and open borders; to spread anti-white racism, gender nonsense, and to wage war on farming . . . all of which is designed to result in societal breakdown.

At which point the global elite will step from the shadows and offer to put everything right through total censorship, property seizures, digital ID, climate lockdowns, bans on private transport, and other means.

We shall then have reached the Nirvana promised by the WEF, where we own nothing, are surveilled 24/7 – and yet we’ll be happy!

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The only light relief – or is it gallows humour? – to be found as darkness encroaches is the sight of po-faced socialists believing they’re engaged in a noble, existential struggle to save humanity from itself, when in reality they’re enriching the biggest corporations and the wealthiest individuals on the planet.

Those parasites running the most profitable scam ever devised.

This Is The End

After a long run, during which I hope I’ve educated a few people, even inspired one or two, while pissing off those in need of pissing off, I am retiring. This blog is closing down. 

I’ve had a good innings, but I’m an old git now, and I want to spend more time with my family (yes, honestly!), and to get out and about a bit more. I’ll catch up with my reading and my music, do more around the house, watch football, and continue my unstinting support for the winegrowers of Argentina. (God bless ’em!)

And, to be honest, this blog was getting to be a burden. I’d finish one piece, then start researching the next, all the while following up leads, answering queries, and just trying to do too much.

A great regret is closing this blog with the world more messed up than I’ve ever known it. (And I’ve been around a long time.) We live in an age of darkness, where lies prevail and truth speakers are punished.

History tells us such systems do not long survive. But those who now profit from deceiving us will not go quietly. I just hope the growing contempt for them doesn’t drive too many towards another form of darkness.

Be guided by the light of truth, avoiding cults and false prophets.

My thanks to all those who’ve supported me over the years, who’ve sent me leads and information. (And of course the odd donation.) My apologies to those I couldn’t help, and those whose information I was unable to use or to follow up.

This blog will remain accessible for a while because I know people are still reading stuff I put up years ago. And I’ll probably keep my X account open, for a while anyway.

I may return with a one-off if World War III breaks out, or if there’s a chance of the nation heading in the right direction for the first time in over 600 years.

Diolch yn fawr i chi gyd.

Cwmparc: Gates & Guards; Answers & Questions

This is another ‘quickie’. It began life last week when someone made me aware of what’s happening in Cwmparc, Treorchy, a community in the Rhondda Fawr.

In a nutshell . . . the new owner of a substantial property at the end of a terrace had put up heavy gates, denying locals access to the mountain behind. Access they’d enjoyed for generations. After protests, the gates were removed, but then they returned, this time with guards in attendance.

WHERE ARE WE?

Cwmparc lies in a side valley running west off the main valley. You can locate it in the maps below, with the property in question – 1 & 2 Ger-y-Coed – circled in red.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

To help you further, here’s a Google image showing both properties (centre) before the gates were put in place, clearly showing the lower part of the contested access.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The properties were up for sale at the end of 2023. And sold early in 2024. The registered owner is Adam Lee Drew; certainly, his name is on the title documents. Though I’m not 100% convinced he is the owner.

Having mentioned title documents, I should explain there are quite a few relating to this plot. I only downloaded two because the Land Registry recently increased its prices. Which means a title document with plan now costs £14, up from £6.

(How the hell is anyone allowed to get away with a 133% increase?)

Anyway, here’s the first of the two titles I downloaded, WA212230, it covers some of the property including the debated access. And reads in part (dated 2016):

The registered proprietor claims that the land has
the benefit of a right of way with or without vehicles
over the land shown hatched in blue on the title
plan.

The land hatched in blue is the disputed access. Does what you read above infer there’s a public right of way?

The second, CYM398171, shows land lower down the hill, taking in one, possibly two, of these new houses. So I’m assuming the part boxed in green has been removed from the original title.

Soon after these titles were registered to him Drew became a director of a big Franco-US company by the name of Kyriba. A company registered with Companies House but headquartered in San Diego, California. I suspect Drew is CFO of Kyriba’s UK operation.

Before joining Kyriba, and according to his Linkedin profile, Drew worked for German outfit Suse.

POSSIBILE EXPLANATIONS

I think there are three possible explanations for what’s happening at Vicarage Terrace.

First, access; it’s about the land above Cwmparc, land managed by Natural Resources Wales. And if that’s the case, then we could be looking at yet more wind turbines. Possibly even solar panels, for the Rhondda is globally renowned for the 16 hours of sunshine it enjoys every day.

But this makes little sense, for the access past Ger-y-Coed would never accommodate the kind of vehicles needed to transport turbines and blades.

Which doesn’t rule out wind turbines. Perhaps the gates are to deter locals from seeing the preparatory work being done up on the mountain. And if it is turbines, then a new road will have to be cut somewhere to take the vehicles I just talked about.

If this is what’s happening, then Adam Lee Drew is fronting for someone else.

The second possibility is the property itself, 1 & 2 Ger-y-Coed. A substantial layout that could easily house 40 or 50 single individuals. Maybe more, at a squeeze.

Ger-y-Coed outlined in red on both Google Earth maps. Click to open enlarged in separte tab

I’m referring now to young men with no good reason to be here, who are a threat to public safety and social cohesion, yet are welcomed by Globalist puppet politicians – for those very reasons!

If this is the plan, then it could be Drew taking the heat for someone else, or he could be flying solo.

The third possibility is that this is nothing more than the new owner of the property being bloody awkward. In which case, Rhondda Cynon Taf council needs to pull its finger out and immediately declare the contested access a public right of way.

In fact, RCT could do that no matter which of those suggestions is correct. Even if it’s something else entirely.

GLOBAL SUPPORT FOR THE GATES, OR . . . ?

Maybe what made up my mind to put out this piece was the reactions I found on the Rhondda Leader Facebook page. To explain . . .

I’m in contact with a well-informed individual who told me that her father, in Treorchy, had heard nothing about the Cwmparc furore. So I Googled ‘Rhondda Leader’, the local weekly ‘paper.

There’s an X account, and a Facebook page; but on the X account, where I expected to find a link to the Rhondda Leader website, there was only a link to the Rhondda page of WalesOnline.

Of the six Cwmparc access articles on the Facebook page yesterday, one had 7 comments, one had 10, one 64, one 542, one 670, and this one 2,300 comments. Is this a record for the Rhondda Leader?

So I focused on the report that garnered most responses. And something started to strike me as odd. And that was so many comments supporting the actions of Adam Lee Drew in blocking off the access.

And in terms of their geographic spread, these comments came from northern Scotland all the way down to southern England, even from overseas – but few from anywhere near Cwmparc!

Then the closer I looked at these supportive comments, the iffier some of them looked. Here’s a small selection. And these were all found among the first few comments to the piece I just linked to.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

I went to ‘Dyan Chamberlain’s FB account. What I found looks, well, ‘bare’. It seems to be a lot of stock photos. Is it genuine?

Another that caught my eye was the contribution from ‘Keith Jackson’

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

So, I checked out his FB account. It suggests that ‘Keith Jackson’, if he exists, lives in the land currently being liberated by President Trump and his team. (Glory to them!)

There was even a supportive comment from an ‘Alan Barsteward‘. Which drew applause from ‘Chris Mutch‘, who claims to live in Cardiff.

I was drawn to the third by the Welsh name.

Click to open enlarged in separte tab

And again, I went to the FB account. Where I encountered this!

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

As I say, I don’t know a lot about Facebook, and I only scratched the surface of the comments. But I saw enough to suggest there’s an organised campaign to support Adam Drew, his gates and his guards.

But who’d organise such a campaign over a dispute between neighbours? It suggests there might be rather more to those gates, and the guards, doesn’t it?

Latest news is that there was a protest yesterday, and there was a good turnout considering the bad weather.

CONCLUSION

As I was writing this, I slowly dismissed the idea of Drew, a Rhondda boy, buying these properties, to live in himself, surrounded by neighbours he’d pissed off.

What’s panning out tells me he won’t be living there. Which takes us on to the other options – ‘renewables’ and housing illegal aliens.

The first I also dismiss for the reasons given above. The remaining possibility made me think of an earlier example.

Cast your mind back to events at the Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli a while ago. Almost 100 staff were sacked because the Home Office wanted to bring in over 200 ‘asylum seekers’, all young men.

There was near-unanimous opposition. Though politicians and media tried to discredit worried locals by claiming those protesting were ‘far right’ and ‘outsiders’.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Stradey Park Hotel was an eye-opener for anyone who still believed in politicians, or trusted the media. Thankfully, the locals won.

One factor I’m sure was that, from a security perspective, the Llanelli site was on a busy road, making it too accessible. It was almost impossible to keep protesters away.

Not so at Cwmparc. At Ger-y-Coed it would be easy to restrict and control access. In fact, Cwmparc itself could be sealed with a couple of choke points.

If I’m right, then someone in Corruption Bay, and also at RCT council, knows what’s planned. (And it’s why I’ve submitted a FoI to the Home Office.)

So let’s have openness. Because too much of what happens in Wales is hidden from us by politicians and civil servants who, at the macro level, serve Globalists and their corporate friends, helping them exploit and wreck Wales.

At the micro level, priorities are determined by pressure groups, composed of leftists, anti-white racists, ‘environmentalists’, sexual deviants, and some who can only be labelled – and I say this without wishing to offend – certifiable fucking nutters.

So let’s have some uncharacteristic honesty from a corrupt political class and its scheming bureaucracy – tell us what’s planned for Ger-y-Coed in Cwmparc.

If they won’t do the decent thing then, instead of asking concerned locals how many different ways they can say, ‘Ooooh, isn’t it awful!’, let our media redeem themselves.

UPDATE 27.02.2025: This report just appeared in WalesOnline. The owners (un-named) claim that a number of problems — basically, anti-social behaviour – left them no option but to install the gates.

Observations:

It’s reasonable to assume that these issues would have been reported to the police, the council, local politicians, Natural Resources Wales. The owners might even have reached out to the local community in Cwmparc. Did they?

Even if the claims are true, 3m high solid fencing, motorised gates, and guards, seems like an over-reaction to what was after all just anti-social behaviour. And a very expensive reaction!

Wales Being Bought Up Acre By Acre

This piece was prompted by someone asking me if I’d read an article recently published on the Nation.Cymru website. I smiled to myself, and responded in the negative.

But I went to the site anyway, and read ‘140 hectares of Welsh land purchased to restore woodland and nature habitat‘. Then one thing led to another, and here we are with yet another ‘quickie’.

Which means I must apologise again for the delay in the promised piece on the Rhug Estate. I have started, and it’s in the pipeline.

CONNECTIONS

You may recall that earlier this month I wrote about 200m tall wind turbines being threatened for a hill to the east of Neath, in the Afan valley. That opus was called, Do They Know Where The Money’s Coming From? Do They Care?

(The answer to both questions is almost certainly No.)

The area under threat is Mynydd Fforch-dwm. The piece in Nation.Cymru a few days back concerned Brynau (pinned) and Cefn Morfudd. Fforch-dwm is to the east.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Back to the article, which was unattributed, suggesting it was a press release, and that N.T, funded by the so-called ‘Welsh Government’, has truly joined the Welsh media.

The article told us that Coed Cadw, the Welsh branch of the Woodland Trust, had “secured” 140 hectares at Cefn Morfudd to add to the 95 hectares previously acquired at Brynau farm.

Let’s look into it a little more. And as ever, the real question is, where’s the money coming from?

The purchase . . . supported by grants from Lloyds Bank and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, funding from People’s Postcode Lottery . . . donations . . . Moondance Foundation and the Banister Charitable Trust . . . grant from The Woodland Investment Grant (TWIG) scheme, a partnership between The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Welsh Government

Most look to be straightforward grants, but two piqued my interest.

The Moondance Foundation, is the charitable arm of the Admiral Insurance group. The company formed by American Henry Engelhardt, and Wales’ only FTSE 100 company.

But who now owns the group? Wikipedia says:

Admiral Group plc is owned by . . . shareholders, including the Moondance Foundation, Rothschild & Co, Fidelity Management & Research, and FIL Investment Advisors

Wikipedia also tells us:

In April 2021, Admiral finalised the sale of interests, that included its Cardiff-based price comparison firm Confused.com, to RVU for proceeds of £508m.

This is a reference to RVU, which in recent years seems to have bought up a number of well-known insurance companies. The RVU website gives us the timeline, and we see Confused.com under 2021.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The first entry mentions Silver Lake as a ‘US equity firm’. Silver Lake (Offshore) AIV GP V Ltd is the ultimate owner of RVU, and it’s registered in the Cayman Islands.

How often do we end up in the Caymans – or other sun-blest locales – when looking into planet savers?

The money for Coed Cadw at Bryn Morfudd may be coming from the Moondance Foundation, or the Moondance Foundation might simply be acting as a conduit. For having just mentioned so many hard-nosed investors, and tax haven companies, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we were looking at another bit of greenwashing.

The other name that caught my attention was the Banister Charitable Trust. But I couldn’t find a website, only references like this. It’s based in Bristol, the source of so much ‘green-ism’.

There is of course an entry on the Charity Commission website, which set me off down a few more rabbit-holes. Especially when I checked out the trustees.

Where we see two surnamed Banister, but above them, Ludlow Trust Company, which seems to manage other trusts. So what is the Ludlow Trust?

Let’s start with the website. Where we read:

Established in 2020 to acquire and manage the UK trust business of Coutts and the NatWest Group . . .

In 2024, Ludlow Trust also acquired the UK trust business of C. Hoare & Co.

So it’s a very recent creation, and it would appear to be in the business of saving people money, by way of avoiding taxes wherever possible, or investing in those areas offering reductions in tax, and other benefits.

The Companies House entry is also interesting. Looking through the recent grants I found a number of recipients based in Wales. (I include the Woodland Trust because there’s unlikely to be a separate payment to Coed Cadw.)

Tracking the ultimate ownership and control of the Banister Charitable Trust led me to Luxembourg, the EU’s internal tax haven. To be exact, 2 Rue des Gaulois and the Charter Trust Group.

It then comes back to London, and there’s an Isle of Man connection. But the point, I think, with both Moondance and Banister, is that the money offered may be rather more than no-strings-attached grants.

THE BIT IN THE MIDDLE

To recap: In a recent post we looked at the 200m turbines planned for Mynydd Fforch-dwm, and now we’ve looked at Woodland Trust expanding its little empire at Brynau and Cefn Morfudd.

But if we look again at the map, we see there’s a bit in between, Mynydd Blaenafon, so who owns this?

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

To find out I obviously went to the Land Registry website. Here’s the title document I downloaded. You’ll see the land was bought in September 2020, for £525,000, by Peter Jeffrey Solly, of Exeter in Devon, who has a chequered record.

Solly’s also in the business of saving the planet . . . or of making money from pretending to do so. For the ‘Natural capital’ he mentions is the scam of scams. Described by the European Investment Bank thus:

Natural capital is the value of everything that comes from nature — soil, air, water and all living creatures

This is the Greensters dream – get politicians to introduce subsidies, grants and tax breaks for just about anything. Buy a field and claim it’s capturing carbon, breeding worms, or providing a habitat for moles – then wait for the lucre to roll in.

And when things start growing in your field . . . well, you’ll be able to order your private jet to get to the January knees-ups in Davos.

And you can even demand payment for the air above your field.

This explains why assorted corporations, asset managers, hedge funds, tax avoidance specialists, investors, etc., are buying up just about every parcel of land they can.

Though in the case of Solly his ambitions tread an already well-worn path. Because if we look more closely at the title document we see, at the very end:

Click to open enlarged in separate file

He has a lease agreement with a company called Mynydd Fforch Dwm Wind Energy 2021 Ltd. This is a front for Naturalis, which we read about in the earlier piece. So I won’t go over the links again.

What I find intriguing though is the timing. Solly bought the land at Mynydd Blaenafon in September 2020. The Naturalis website for Mynydd Fforch Dwm Wind Farm is also dated 2020.

Is Solly working with, or for, the company behind the plan for Mynydd Fforch-dwm? Was he tipped off? Then again, is Mynydd Fforch-dwm a red herring, and are the turbines really planned for Mynydd Blaenafon?

Or are turbines planned on both mountains? God knows there are enough in the area already. Maybe somebody’s hoping a couple of dozen more won’t be noticed.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

I’m not sure what exactly’s happening, but it begins to look a little complicated, maybe even devious. So here’s a thought . . .

According to the Land Registry, Mynydd Fforch-dwm is still in Welsh ownership. The owner has entered into an agreement with Mynydd Fforch Dwm Wind Energy 2021 Ltd.

While next door, the land at Mynydd Blaenafon was sold outright to Peter Jeffrey Solly. So was the previous owner, the Welsh owner, unaware of the turbine plans?

Worth asking, because everywhere we look in modern Wales we see Welsh people losing out, being displaced. We own less of Wales now than at any time in our history. Certainly less than we did before devolution.

That’s what 26 years of socialist rule under Labour and Plaid Cymru has achieved.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

In our former mining valleys today it seems as if all land outside towns and villages is to be given over to wind farms. All of them foreign owned, with vast profits flooding out of Wales every day.

But why be surprised – this is Globalism. The land is bought up, cleared, exploited, and people are confined to 15-minute settlements, with travelling discouraged.

Superficially, and from a Welsh perspective, it may look bleak. But with President Trump declaring the ‘climate emergency’ to be a scam, and J D Vance humiliating the Globalist puppets running Europe, our enemy’s agenda is under real threat.

Starmer has a massive majority in MPs, but little popular support (less credibility). The EU is tottering. Germany goes to the polls on the 23rd. The war in Ukraine will soon end, and there’ll be huge revelations that not even the BBC will be able to ignore.

Thinking more locally – Labour will lose the 2026 Senedd elections. And many or most of the council by-elections between now and then.

So hang on in there. Better times are a-coming!

How Many Wind Farms Are Really Planned?

This is another ‘quickie’, which I’m putting out partly so people can be aware of what might be in the pipeline, and also to see if anyone out there can add a little meat to the bones.

WHERE WE AT?

As is my wont, I’ll start by showing you the area in question. It’s some two or three miles south or south west of Caban-coch reservoir. Or six or seven miles north of Llanwrtyd.

To give you a better idea of the area I’m talking about, Bryn Rhudd is pinned on both maps reproduced below.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Bute Energy, the ‘renewables’ arm of property company Parabola, has an ‘Energy Park’ planned here. For which the registered company was known as Bryn Glas Energy Park Ltd, until Wednesday, when it changed to Bryn Rhudd Energy Park Ltd.

Which doesn’t move the project very far in terms of distance, Bryn Glas and Bryn Rhudd being adjacent hills, but I find the change significant because it suggests things might now be moving with this previously quiescent entity.

Confirmation for the project comes from the Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales. This map produced last year shows Bryn Glas as a proposal.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

That said, the project does not appear on the Bute Energy website. But there are a number of Bute projects – companies formed and registered with Companies House – that don’t appear on the Bute website.

Others are: Garreg Fawr, Waun Hesgog, Nant Ceiment, Nant Aman, Tarenni, Maesnant, Bryngwyn, Blaencothi, Llyn Lort II, Orddu. That’s 10 projects for which companies have been formed, but are not mentioned on the Bute website.

Maybe no progress has been made on these ten projects beyond general scoping and informal chats with landowners.

In addition, there are a number of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for which companies have been formed. Six by my count.

And let’s not forget the pylons and the power lines. Mile after mile of them, to carry the electricity generated (when the wind is just right!) from remote Welsh locations to the consumers of that electricity in England.

As many of you know, I try to keep up with Bute’s activities, and here’s my updated factsheet. If anyone can add to, or correct it, don’t be shy about contributing.

WHAT MORE CAN I TELL YOU?

A big question in all these projects, and indeed, other projects, is – who owns the land, who stands to gain? A question that’s not easy to answer.

In the case of Bryn Rhudd, my first port of call was the Land Registry, but seeing as I had no title number I had to rely on finding it on the LR map. Which I think worked.

Here’s the title document for the land I located on the LR map. It’s known as Abergwesyn Commons. You’ll see it’s owned by the National Trust (NT); which seems to be confirmed by this map I found on the NT website. (Best of luck with the filters!)

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The NT land is the area in blue. I’ve highlighted Abergwesyn, to the south of the area that takes its name. To get your bearings relative to the maps you saw earlier use the reservoirs shown above the area in blue.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a title plan available to download, as it was too large, and I didn’t have time to get it delivered by post.

Anyway, there’s another NT website, which has this to say . . .

Abergwesyn Commons stretch for 12 miles between the Nant Irfon valley in the west and Llanwrthwl in the east. Drygarn Fawr is the highest point on the commons, lying above the Nant Irfon valley.

Which appears to confirm this is the area we’re concerned with, and that Bute’s planned Bryn Rhudd Energy Park is on National Trust land.

Land Registry title documents can be intriguing when they provide a bit of history, which is the case with the one we’re looking at. In the recent history of the area we see names we’ve encountered before. And of course, they’re double-barrelled names.

First, there’s Legge-Bourke. I believe the land we’re looking at was sold to the National Trust by the Legge-Bourke family.

Whereas the Right Honourable James David Lord Gibson-Watt of the Wye M.C., P.C., and son, Julian Gibson Watt, were granted “sporting rights” over part of the land for 99 years from September 1984.

Other names mentioned were those you see below.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Though it seems that somewhere along the way Devoy became Devoy-Williams. (An attempt to go native?) And Dai is a man of the law, as this report tells us.

I’m not sure whether he and Anjana are still an item, and maybe she runs the company Chillderness herself, or whether they’ve split. Either way, the Chillderness website explains the entry on the title document. (Chill in the wilderness – geddit!)

You’ll see from the website the company has a number of properties in Wales.

Hidden away in remote corners of the Chillderness Red Kite Estate in the Cambrian Mountains, Mid Wales, are four super-cool, off-grid glamping pods. The two Conkers (Earth Conker and Moon Conker) are insulated, all year round glamping pods. The forest by the river enfolds the two Tree Tents (Dragon’s Egg and Ynys Affalon), suspended in the canopy with treetop kitchens and outdoor bathing.

If you think ‘Affalon’ and the others are toe-curlers, wait until you see the properties in Sir Benfro. We have a nod to the Rimbaud of Cwmdonkin Drive with ‘Llareggub’ in Saundersfoot, then there’s ‘Mor (sic) and More’ in Amroth.

This is the kind of tourism that too often passes for Welsh: Buy out the natives then make money from trivialising their identity and culture.

But perhaps of more relevance to this inquiry might be what we see under the heading Property Register, which deals with parts of the original title that have been detached over the years.

For there, at No 7, we see that land was detached in September 2019 from the NT Abergwesyn Commons land, which might link to the planned wind farm. But this reference gives no new title number to check, which is frustrating.

Given what we know, I’ll conclude this section by saying it’s reasonable to assume that Bute Energy has some agreement in place with the National Trust for the area around Bryn Rhudd.

Otherwise, why launch the company, and keep it alive?

FINAL THOUGHTS

I always opposed the National Trust in Wales because it struck me as an ineffably English organisation, run by Home Counties hearties who would never understand or empathise with our history and identity.

Maybe devolution could have brought a change, if only arguing that the NT in Wales distanced itself from the parent body. But Corruption Bay was too busy anguishing over whether Picton should be disinterred and hung for what he might have done in the West Indies in the 18th century to worry about Wales in the 21st century.

More recently at the National Trust, tweeds and brogues gave way to green hair and anti-white racism. Predictably, this Wokist takeover brought in blind belief in the climate scam. Now we read of ‘Renewable energy in Wales‘, and just about every form of ‘renewables’ is mentioned . . . other than wind.

So I suggest we need a little honesty. A commodity rare in modern Wales. First from the National Trust.

On the assumption you own this land, do you have an agreement or an understanding with Bute Energy for a wind farm, or ‘Energy Park’, at Bryn Rhudd?

If so, have those who graze the land been informed or consulted?

To Bute Energy: What are your plans for Bryn Rhudd (formerly Bryn Glas)?

Also, what are your plans for the other 10 projects, each of which has a named company, but are not mentioned on your website? What stage have these projects reached?

These uplands of Elenydd are unspoilt and beautiful, among the wildest parts of Wales. That’s because they’re remote, which of course means no decent road access. Look again at the map for Bryn Rhudd to see what I mean.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Most of the area is only traversable on foot, by horse, or by quad bike. Which means that the environmental damage caused in transporting and erecting huge wind turbines would outweigh any possible gain from a decade or two of expensive, intermittent, and unreliable wind power.

Consequently, any plan for ‘renewables’ at Bryn Rhudd is a reminder that wind turbines, fields of solar panels, are all about making money. Nothing to do with the environment whatsoever.

Do They Know Where The Money’s Coming From? Do They Care?

This ‘quickie’ is in response to a news item about 200m tall wind turbines planned for Mynydd Fforch-dwm, near the village of Tonmawr, east of Neath. Permission has been granted by the so-called ‘Welsh Government’ on the grounds that it’s a Development of National Significance.

The bulk of this post will be taken up with a look into the labyrinthine ownership of the company said to be behind this project, and others, before concluding with more general thoughts on ‘renewables’ in Wales.

THE PROJECT

First, let’s give you an idea of the where we’re at. As I’ve said, it’s to the east of Neath, and in the map below I’ve circled Mynydd Fforch-dwm in red.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The additional run-off of rainwater generated by the huge concrete turbine foundations, the cable trenches, the access roads and all the other work, will run into Nant Pelenna, which joins the Afan near Pontrhydyfen, and then flows on down to Port Talbot.

It’s an area already cursed by many turbines, with even more planned. Such as the proposal to erect even taller turbines just a few miles away at Y Bryn.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Though it’s not just the six huge wind turbines that are being promised, for this ‘energy park’ will bring even more goodies:

As well as the six large turbines . . . the site could also contain up to 10 hectares of solar photovoltaic panels mounted on frames fixed to the ground along with associated infrastructure such as battery storage facilities, electricity transformers, and access works.

The company named in the article as being behind the project is Naturalis Energy. Here’s their elementary website. Naturalis describes itself as a joint venture between Renantis and REG Windpower Ltd.

Companies House shows a Naturalis Energy Ltd based in Telford, Shropshire. But I’m taking a punt on the company we’re looking for being Naturalis Energy Developments Ltd, formed 23 September, 2019, as the timing fits with the website dated 2020.

Also, because control is exercised by Renantis UK Ltd. Running Renantis are two Americans and a Brit. This is one of the Americans, and this is the other. And here’s the Brit, Michael Nagle.

The same trio controls Vector Renewables UK Ltd at the same London address as Naturalis Energy Developments. Vector is owned by an outfit in the Caymans.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

These three may control other companies, but they can’t be traced in a Companies House search because they aren’t listed as directors, only as ‘Persons with significant control’.

From what I can see, the expertise in ‘renewables’ for Mynydd Fforch-dwm will be supplied by REG, with the money coming from Naturalis-Renantis. So I’m going to concentrate on the second element, the funding.

But before leaving REG . . . It was a tortuous trail but I eventually established that it’s all owned by Andrew Nicholas Whalley. Who’s been involved with many companies. Quite a few with Welsh names.

Back to Renantis UK Ltd, and the latest accounts filed with Companies House (to Dec 31, 2023) which tell us who owns this company. And whaddya know! – we’re back to the Cayman Islands, and the wording is the same as we just read for Vector.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Now it gets a little complicated, so let’s hope I can explain it.

The panels above tell us Renantis UK is a subsidiary of ‘Renantis S.p.A’, registered in Milan, and elsewhere we learn that until November 2022 Renantis was known as Falck Renewables, following an acquisition in February that year by ‘institutional investors, of which J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. is adviser‘.

Which started to make sense, and ring bells. For Falck’s been mentioned on this blog before. Back in February 2022 in ‘Bute Energy Selling Wales For Danegeld?

To explain . . . Learning of the link-up between Scottish company Parabola Bute Energy (planning some 20 ‘renewables’ projects in Wales) and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, I went to the CIP website looking for a reference to Parabola Bute.

I couldn’t find one, but I told readers back then what I did find.

‘Copenhagen Infrastructure 1 has invested GBP ~155m of equity for a 49% stake in Falck Renewables S.p.A.’s (Falck) operational onshore wind portfolio in Scotland and Wales.’

That was written in February 2022, the month Falck was taken over by the ‘investors’ advised by JP Morgan Chase. Whose CEO, Jamie Dimon, wants to compulsorily purchase land and property – to accommodate the wind turbines and the solar panels needed to save the planet!

Wind farms and solar arrays that – by pure chance! – will be owned by companies, hedge funds, corporations, and other entities run by men like Jamie Dimon.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

If this dangerous nonsense had come from the studded tongue of a green-haired newt-botherer, or even a TV envirogrifter, I might laugh it off. But as the headline reminds us, Dimon is a ‘Wall Street titan’.

When I first read that I thought it was the most frightening – yet revealing – example of the Globalist corporate mentality I had ever read. And I still think that.

Maybe I should explain at this point that Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners acts as an intermediary, finding environmentally acceptable investments for investors.

CIP manages 12 funds and has to date raised approximately EUR 30 billion for investments in energy and associated infrastructure from more than 180 international institutional investors.

Getting back to Falck . . . I’d come across the company even before the CIP connection. For Falck owns (owned?) 20-year-old, 39-turbine Cefn Croes Wind Farm, above the A44. In its day, said to be the biggest (by output) in the UK.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Let’s go back to the complicated ownership details on the Renantis UK accounts. Where we read: ‘The ultimate parent company and controlling party at 31 December 2023 is IIF Int’l Holding LP, a company Incorporated in Cayman Islands‘.

A bit more searching told me that ‘IIF’ stands for International Investment Fund, which makes sense. An entity that was handling $24 billion two years ago. But it seems not everybody’s happy.

This article from US consumer advocacy organisation Public Citizen wants US regulators to look more closely at Jamie Dimon’s outfit’s dealings. While this piece from the European Commission outlines the takeover of a big German energy supplier by ‘a wholly owned subsidiary of IIF Int’l Holding L.P.’

The world of corporate finance, eh!

The key to knowing who’s behind the Mynydd Fforch-dwm project seems to lie in Milan. Where, in February 2022, local company Falck was taken over by ‘investors’ advised by JP Morgan Chase, using the Renantis-Naturalis label, and further obscuring their activities by operating from the Cayman Islands. It was reported at the same time that Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners had taken out a 49% shareholding in Falck’s Welsh and Scottish onshore operations.

But these entities only invest other people’s money, we still don’t know where the money for Mynydd Fforch-dwm originates. Do those clowns in Corruption Bay even care?

UPDATE: Soon after putting this piece out I was contacted by a good source with further information. In the summer of 2023 Renantis linked up with Ventient Energy, and then last year, this resulted in a new company, Nadara.

Under various guises the new entity already has 10 sites in Wales.

Nadara is registered in Scotland using an Edinburgh address. It brands itself as a Scottish company, even claiming its name is derived from Scottish Gaelic, though it’s owned by an outfit registered in the EU tax haven of Luxembourg in November 2023.

A name associated with LuxBlue Holdco SARL is that of Paul Farmer. He’s also involved with IIF Int’l Holding, of the Caymans, which we encountered earlier. His Linkedin profile says he’s some kind of freelance.

The Blue element in the name may come from another link-up involving Renantis. This one with Blue Float Energy. They are doing deals in Scotland with the Crown Estate, which is of course devolved up there.

This may account for the clamour from politicians in Wales for the Crown Estate to be devolved here too, if only to show we’re getting some benefit from ‘renewables’.

I have no doubt that, once again, the trail leads back to the Cayman Islands. And so the question remains – where’s the money coming from?

FINAL THOUGHTS (SOME RATHER PERTURBING)

When I began looking into Mynydd Fforch-dwm Energy Park I thought, from the name ‘Naturalis’, that I’d be seeing previously unknown companies, and fresh faces.

Boy! was I wrong.

Not only have we re-acquainted ourselves with loveable Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase, through part of his empire operating out of a British Overseas Territory, but via the Italian connection we also bump into Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners again.

A good time to remember that a 25% stake in CIP is held by Danish turbine producer Vestas. Among Vestas directors and shareholders is former Danish PM (sometime MEP) Helle Thorning-Schmidt. Who’s married to Aberafan MP Stephen Kinnock.

(Thorning-Schmidt is also a director of the Islamic Development Bank and the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.)

Helle Thorning-Schmidt. Click to open enlarged in separate tab

By a remarkable coincidence, the planet-saving extravaganza planned for Mynydd Fforch-dwm is either in, or on the border of, the Aberafan constituency.

But even without that propinquity we can guarantee moolah from Mynydd Fforch-dwm making its way to Helle. (But will she share it with hubby?)

And of course that also applies to CIP’s involvement with Parabola Bute Energy.

As stated at the top, this project is justified by the ‘Welsh Government’ on the grounds that it’s a Development of National Significance. For which nation? We already produce more than enough electricity to meet Wales’s needs, so this project must be of national significance for England.

So where are the benefits to Wales?

We scar our hills, increase the risk of flooding, with foreign-built turbines and pylons owned by companies and ‘investors’ from God knows where that regularly catch fire or get blown over. They’re erected by crews brought in for the job, after which the only work is changing the oil, firing up the diesel generator to pretend the bloody things work, and collecting the dead birds and bats.

In real world terms wind turbines just mean higher electricity bills for everybody and falling property values for homes within sight and sound of the damn things.

There are no benefits to Wales whatsoever, apart from the pitiful ‘community funds’ . . . the green energy equivalent of beads and infected blankets.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

As I wrote this, and saw so many links emerge, I wondered if it’s an attempt to forge a ‘renewables’ monopoly in Wales. For Jamie Dimon would get red carpet treatment if he visited Cardiff, as most Senedd Members would gleefully implement his demand to compulsorily purchase farmland for yet more turbines.

Thankfully, ‘over there’, Donald Trump sees through the plot to deindustrialise and impoverish the West. Which will make it increasingly difficult for European leaders to continue down the self-destructive path of Net Zero.

One day we’ll look back on the climate scam and wonder why otherwise sensible people fell for it all. Until then, we just have to keep fighting.

With truth on our side.

How The Trump Revolution Will Affect Europe

What a week that was! President Trump’s executive orders exceeded my expectations. Everybody (and perhaps more so those on the left) now realises that what Trump has set in train will not be limited to the USA.

After thoughts on what’s being achieved in the USA I’ll consider how the changes in the USA might impact on Europe.

This is not exactly what I promised earlier on X, but I decided to pull one section. I hope you’ll forgive me and enjoy this truncated version of what I originally planned.

MR T COMES TO TOWN!

Donald Trump, 47th President of the United States of America, is already implementing his election promises – and sending assorted groups into paroxysms of fury. (And it’s wonderful to watch!)

Though I’m not sure what upsets them more, a politician honouring the promises he made to the electorate or, as a result of doing that, dismantling the Globalist-left-green-woke alliance that’s destroying Western countries.

Maybe I don’t care; perhaps I’m just happy to see these bastards chewing the carpets at Davos, tearing out their green hair, and tearfully hugging the porcupine they were about to ‘re-introduce’ to Pembrokeshire.

But let’s go back a bit. To the last days of Sleepy Joe pretending he was running things. You probably know that son Hunter – who had nothing to do with that laptop! – was given a pardon going back to 2014!

Why 2014?

Because that’s when the CIA and state department mounted the Kiev coup, using Ukrainian Nazi militias, and implemented on the ground by arch-neocon Victoria Nuland, who resigned last year. The coup was not her only excursion into subterfuge and subversion resulting in massive death tolls.

(Though I agree with her on, “Fuck the EU“. Especially The Commission.)

The video below will help you understand Nuland better.

The coup marked the beginning of orchestrated violence against Russians in Ukraine, the emergence of US-controlled biolabs, and the start of the Bidens lining their own pockets from what soon became the most corrupt country in Europe.

Which is why the whole Biden family was given presidential pardons (including a brother I’d never heard of!) But the Bidens are gone. We won’t see them again until the movie.

Meanwhile, the good news keeps a-coming for Americans!

For President Trump has promised no more wind turbines and solar fields, an end to illegal immigration, a return to fossil fuels, to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US, to lower taxation, to reduce utility bills, and so many other changes that ordinary, sensible Americans will welcome.

Measures that are opposed by Globalists, Marxists, ‘environmentalists’, and shrieking Wokies who really need to get their heads fixed.

Perhaps Trump’s best moment thus far was telling those assembled Globalists at Davos to go do one. And enjoyable though that was my support for Trump is neither 100%, nor is it unconditional.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

The “Gulf of America” suggestion didn’t really bother me because it’s a bit of harmless bombast, the kind of thing we expect from him. Though his position towards Canada and Greenland needs to be clarified.

As for the Panama Canal, the Monroe Doctrine still holds. And if that vital waterway is, as Trump and others allege, effectively controlled by China, with US Navy ships being penalised, then the USA has every right to take back control of the PCZ. And we in Europe should support him.

As I say, Trump is flawed, I accept that. But the good he’s doing now outweighs all his shortcomings. Maybe this ‘warts and all’ appreciation was well explained by Hollywood actor James Woods, almost five years ago.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Let me conclude this section with some final thoughts on Ukraine.

If Trump stops funding and arming Ukraine, then the war is as good as over. Saving many thousands of European lives.

We might then be able do what we should have done in 1990 – reintegrate Russia into Europe. As was done after WWII with Germany. For Russia has never fought against let alone invaded a Western country.

Of course there’ll be resistance from Poland, the Baltic States, and a few other countries, but the Soviet Union is dead and buried. And if French, Belgians, Dutch, Danes, Czechs and others could get over WWII fairly quickly then the countries of the east will have to get used to living with Russia.

To achieve this ambition we might need to punish those, like Victoria Nuland, who’ve demonised Russia and Russians; for these are the same people who elsewhere have manufactured coup after coup, that have engineered regime changes, and have instigated conflicts around the globe costing millions of lives.

Remember! this is the system President Trump wants to dismantle. Oppose him and you support the Permanent War Party lunatics straight out of Dr Strangelove.

WHITHER EUROPE?

It appears the USA has been saved, but Europe is still led by compromised weaklings.

By a political elite actively working against the interests of its own people. Especially the working class. That’s because the glorious future envisioned by the Globalists and their green-woke-left foot-soldiers has no place for the white working class.

The New World Order has no need for a vast labour force destroying the planet with their children and their cars. Their farting cows and their racist dogs.

The reference to racist dogs is another reminder of how the lunatics have taken over the asylum. However absurd, the Globalist agenda must be defended and promoted, by the political elite, the Globalist-controlled media, and the agencies that have been captured.

To understand the extent of that ‘capture’ here’s an ongoing story from the USA. One that’s seen little coverage in the media (for reasons that’ll become obvious). I refer now to what happened in the western part of North Carolina after it was hit by Hurricane Helene in late September.

Click to open enlarged in separate tab

Stories emerged that the people of this area were not getting the help they needed from federal authorities, in particular, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

It was even reported that across the devastated region of the south east USA, FEMA was picking and choosing who to help, and it seemed white people, and Trump supporters, were being ignored.

Eventually, a scapegoat was found, and sacked, but the problem went deeper. Which is why, when visiting western North Carolina last week, President Trump told people still waiting for help that he was considering doing away with FEMA.

Why did FEMA ignore this area? Well, it’s in the Appalachians; which might mean that big city sophisticates see the people living there as white trash, strumming Dixie on their banjos between gulps of moonshine.

And yet, while US citizens were neglected the Federal authorities found billions of dollars to cater to every need and whim of illegal immigrants.

What we see with FEMA, and even from bodies over here as disparate as the Director of Public Prosecutions and our National Museum, is that the poison of DEI and CRT has corrupted them and turned them against the majority population.

So let me explain DEI. It stands for ‘Diversity, Equity, Inclusion’. Which in practice means discriminating against ‘over-represented’ groups, and that always means the same thing.

A poison that has spread throughout the body politic and public life of the West.

Clearly, when you overlook the best qualified people, to favour those ticking the right boxes, then standards will fall. Whether it’s a university, a government department, or a police force. And when standards fall, we all suffer, including the groups being favoured. Which exposes what DEI is really about.

For just like Net Zero, uncontrolled immigration, or the attack on free speech, DEI is designed to weaken the West. Another part of the Globalist agenda.

The picture is unmistakably consistent, on both sides of the Atlantic.

We’ve witnessed the Globalist agenda at work, implemented by Cultural Marxists, and their useful idiots – deluded liberals desperate to appear ‘progressive’. Not forgetting of course the permanently offended, who live to invent new isms and phobias.

And the people see it. They see corrupt establishments empowering petty tyrants and commissars to control thinking, and to silence opponents, to dole out public funding, and to favour strangers over them. And they get angry.

In Europe, opponents of Globalism face absurd legal action, and democracies discuss banning political parties that don’t toe the Globalist line. Yet we’re told this slide into authoritarianism is ‘defending democracy’!

Which is why I’m convinced change is coming to Europe. Because as the Trump administration lowers prices by returning to fossil fuels, as it cuts taxes by reducing Federal spending, as it seals its border and deports illegals, as it restores freedom of expression and equal opportunities, there can be no turning back.

So let those responsible for imposing this nightmare accept that it’s over. And do so graciously. A bloody and hopeless rearguard action will serve no one’s interests – except those who have conspired for so long to destroy the West.

IN THE PIPELINE?

Someone has sent me a dossier on the Rhug Estate. How it’s run. By whom. Plus information on some of the practices and marketing ploys used. The dossier’s contents are intriguing, amusing, and in some parts very concerning.

As I start putting something together I’d welcome information from anybody with experience of the Rhug Estate; as an employee, a supplier, or a customer. Send what you have to editor@jacothenorth.net. (There is no prize.)

The Corpse Of Wales And The Feeding Parasites

If you keep up with Welsh news then you must be aware of the years-long confrontation on Ynys Môn over the plan for ‘lodges’ at Penrhos nature reserve on Holy Island.

This project was originally marketed as accommodation for workers coming to build Wylfa 2, the planned nuclear power station. But now it’s tourism, pure and simple.

INTRODUCTION

The reason I’m dealing with it is because the site has been sold by Land & Lakes (Anglesey) Ltd to the Seventy Ninth Group Ltd. On the face of it, a straightforward commercial transaction. Here it is reported on the Seventy Ninth Group website.

But we are not being told the truth.

Let’s start with the seller, Land & Lakes. This is quite a big company, based in the Lake District, and run by Brian Kenneth Scowcroft. He seems to be the real deal, a genuine entrepreneur. Perhaps Land & Lakes has decided to move on, and may even need the money from the sale for other purposes.

A suspicion strengthened by the fact that Land & Lakes (Anglesey) Ltd took out a loan last month with posh private bank C Hoare & Co.

Which is why I see little point in spending time on Land & Lakes. Instead, I want to focus on the buyers, reported to be the Seventy Ninth Group. Which is said to be run by David Gary Webster. Helped by his sons, Jake and Curtis. And they’re based in Southport.

There are many companies under this name registered with Companies House, but none going back further than 2019. (And the older companies changed their name to Seventy Ninth.) The company with the flashy website we just looked at, the Seventy Ninth Group Ltd, was only launched in November 2024.

Though to confuse matters, there is also The 79th GRP Ltd registered with Companies House in July 2020. And despite the similar name, and the same Southport address, it is a different company.

This 79th GRP looks like an intra-group money shuffler, with no employees and the latest accounts showing Assets (debtors and cash) of £22,465,034 against Creditors of £22,465,686. With most of the latter accounted for by “amounts owed to group undertakings“.

Which may link with a deal done in Gibraltar at the end of 2023, by which (if I’m reading it right) tens of millions of Euros was made available to 79th GRP Ltd by 79th Resources Ltd, a Gibraltar-registered company formed in October 2010. (Though it might have been known by a different name.)

What I find odd is that the charge document, drawn up by T & T Management Services of 2 Irish Town, Gibraltar, says “The 79th GRP Limited being a private limited company incorporated and registered in Gibraltar (under registration number 12783409)”, but then it gives the Southport address.

That number is for the Companies House registration; if it was registered in Gibraltar it would have a different number. And if also registered in the UK then I would expect to see a number beginning either with OC (Overseas Company), or OE (Overseas Entity).

Whatever, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised by the Gibraltar connection, because if we go back to the website we looked at earlier we find this:

Confirmed here.

And the Seventy Ninth Group Private Equity Fund makes no secret of what it does. Penrhos would appear to fit the description of “distressed asset“.

The fund is designed to capitalise on acquiring distressed and undervalued assets across various real estate sectors, including residential, commercial, and leisure, areas in which The Seventy Ninth Group has gained a global reputation as experts.

So we have companies registered in England, but working through Gibraltar and regulated in that tax haven. The Seventy Ninth Group is even listed on the Wiener Börse, and I recall reading somewhere else about the Frankfurt Exchange.

All very impressive; so how many companies are we talking about?

THE EMPIRE

Earlier, I provided a link to a number of companies under the Seventy Ninth banner. Here it is again. But if you search the Companies house website under the name of CEO David Gary Webster, you turn up this list. Most use the ’79th’ label, with the oldest taking us back to May 2016.

Most of these companies are carrying debts, especially the older ones, such as 79th Luxury Living Five Ltd, and many seem to be owed to Castle Trust & Management Services Ltd. Another Gibraltar entity, now down the Swannee.

It looks very much as if Castle was badly investing money after people took advice from unregulated advisers. How much of this money ended up with the Websters and their Seventy Ninth / 79th duo?

Castle Trust & Management Services was registered in the UK in February 2023. The owner is given on the filed documents as Steven Andrew Knight. And here he is again.

UPDATE 25,02.2025: Read this insolvency report to better appreciate what a crook Knight is.

Elsewhere in the empire, the Seventy Ninth Global website is good for a laugh. Check out the image below. They look like a team of bouncers. What’s the message here? “Oi, let us invest your pension – or else!

But I digress.

With the demise of Castle Trust & Management Services the Websters seem to have teamed up with Desiman 2 Ltd for more recent loans. Including a loan made just before Christmas to cover the purchase of Penrhos and a number of what I assume to be adjacent properties, all listed here with their Land Registry title numbers.

The loan was made to DJC Leisure Ltd, formed less than a year ago. DJC I assume refers to David Webster and his sons Jake and Curtis. Though I found it strange that no one is listed as ‘person with significant control’.

I would have expected to see the Websters listed there. Is it really their company?

Desiman 2 is owned by HL Investments Ltd of St Peter Port, Guernsey. I believe the ‘HL’ stands for Hargreaves Lansdown. Another company that will invest your pension or your savings.

Hargreaves Lansdown was gobbled up last year.

The Bristol-based company accepted a deal in August worth GBP5.44 billion from a consortium comprising CVC private equity funds, Nordic Capital XI Delta and Platinum Ivy B 2018 RSC Ltd, part of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

This dig into background could end here, but it doesn’t, due to a frustrating quirk of the Companies House website. By which I mean, you can search, at different times, perhaps using other combinations of a name – even the same name! – and come up with entirely different results.

Like I say, it’s very bloody frustrating.

UPDATE: To add to the confusion I have found two companies registered with Companies House where Webster Snr gives his name as ‘David Webster’.

These are: long defunct T Orange Ltd, a one-man band. And Grudge Match Management Ltd, where the other director is Kenneth Roberts, who may have mining interests. Until February ’24 this company was known as 79th Group Ltd!

BACKGROUND

As an example of the confusion, I mentioned earlier that searching on the Companies House website for ‘David Gary Webster’ turned up these 23 companies.

But another search for ‘David Gary Webster’ turned up 55 more companies. A different 55 companies! All of which seem to pre-date 79th / Seventy Ninth. With appointments running from January 2001 to May 2015. And in a number of the earlier posts, Webster is listed as secretary rather than director.

What’s more, many of them seem to be local sports clubs in Formby. Not surprising as in a number of these ventures Webster was teamed up with former lower leagues footballer Hugh McAuley.

The Wikipedia entry for McAuley tells us:

The company mentioned, that linked McAuley with Webster, Innovation Group (UK) Ltd, was Dissolved in 2015, and never declared any assets of note.

A fate that accounts for most of the 55 companies I turned up in the second search, the exceptions being those Webster left over a decade ago, and 79th Element Ltd. Webster senior left this outfit in October 2016 and son Jake left in January 2020.

Though Jake is still listed as the controlling interest in this company, which seems to be the first mention of ’79th’. But what does it mean? (Since publication I’ve been reminded that gold has the atomic number 79.)

It’s all a bit odd, don’t you think? Here we have David Webster, Merseyside footy fan who, in his early 50s relaunches himself as a big-money property and finance guy with the loot behind it all coming from, or through, offshore locales.

And it doesn’t end there, for Webster is said to have bought a gold mine in Africa.

Having built up, over 25 years, a £400 million residential and commercial property portfolio through The 79th Group, the Websters believe this is the perfect time to invest in gold and two further mine purchases are under consideration.

“Over 25 years”! But as I just said, the first mention I can find of 79th is in July 2014 with 79th Element Ltd, currently on the rocks, with the accounts well overdue, and strike-off imminent.

Though it does describe itself as being involved in “Mining and other non-ferrous metal ores”. But there’s surely a word missing after mining? Gold?

And we read earlier that Seventy Ninth now has mining concessions in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Also in Ontario, Canada. Though strictly speaking this is Seventy Ninth Resources, registered in Gibraltar (104802), but using the Southport address, and it’s a division of the bigger Seventy Ninth Group.

(You’ll recall me mention a deal between 79th GRP and 79th Resources. Is 79th Resources the same company as Seventy Ninth Resources?)

The Seventy Ninth Resources website says the actual drilling was done by SRK Exploration Services Ltd. But the only extant company with a name like that is SRK Exploration Services Nominee Company Ltd, giving a Newport, Gwent, address.

And it must be this company because one of the two nominees is William Kellaway, who we find here. And here’s the SRK report of him out in Guinea.

This is impressive stuff. If you accept it at face value. But I don’t.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Websters work for the Seventy Ninth Group. But they don’t own it. They’ve been recruited to serve as the public face for a much bigger, and more secretive, network. The office in Southport is just an accommodation address.

Turning to Penrhos, we saw the relevant titles linked with DJC Leisure Ltd, the company named after Webster father and sons.

You’ll recall me wondering earlier why the ‘person of significant control’, indicating company ownership, had been left blank. Well now I know.

I went to the Companies House filings for DJC Leisure Ltd, and checked the Certificate of Incorporation. By scrolling down I saw that all 100 shares are owned by Kitten Holdings AG of Zug, in Switzerland. Check for yourself.

Kitten Holdings was formed around the same time as DJC Leisure, and now owns Penrhos. So who owns Kitten Holdings AG?

UPDATE: When I saw the name ‘Kitten’ I was thinking pussycats. But what if it’s an individual, such as this guy. Who certainly knows about money.

The onus is now on politicians, media and others to contact the Websters and ask them who really owns Penrhos. Also ask them who’s behind the money-moving machine in which they’re just a cog.

At the end of the day, we’re talking about more foreign-owned tourism. Which Wales needs like she needs more DEI, or more Net Zero, or more pressure groups, or more envirogrifters, or more corporate greenwashers, or more . . .

After 26 years of socialism the country I love is corrupted, and decaying; attracting parasites from around the globe. And they get welcomed; by those too fucking stupid to see them for what they are, or too fucking lazy to ask a few basic questions.

UPDATE 01.03.2025: It’s reported that the City of London Police is looking into the 79th Group in relation to “investment fraud“. Such a shock! I shall have to go and lie down.
