London Is the New Plutocrats’ Paradise
February 9th, 2007Is it a coincidence that London is the most Orwellian city in the world?
Via: Independent:
From frenzied bidding for art worth £400m to a stampede for fine French wine, London is in the grip of an unprecedented spending spree fuelled by £9bn of City bonuses and an influx of super-wealthy foreigners.
The capital has long vied for the title of the world’s wealthiest city but it will this week cement its status as the boom town of a new monied elite with a seemingly unquenchable thirst for conspicuous consumption.
Britain has become a magnet for a select group of high rollers – international billionaires who are choosing London above competitors such as New York and Dubai to make their homes.
Forbes magazine, the bible of the wealthy, revealed that London now has 23 billionaires, including the highest number of non-domiciled tycoons in the world. Together, they have a combined wealth of more than £45bn.

Not sure I see the relation between Orwellian and super-rich? The super-rich want Orwellian or are attracted by it?
I think London attracting super-rich has more to do with the stability of the Pound and the neighboring Euro
London is a city steeped in history – the capital of the (modern) world’s greatest empire and plutocracy ever known – that of the Anglo-Saxons. It is the city of class, flair, art and decadence – all that speaks for itself. It has an exclusive “polished oaken” quietness not to be found in noisy New York, and is steeped in centuries of a “classy” Haughty British reserve, not to be found in the cheerful gaiety of Paris – a reserve which is very bewitching to be part of for all those who think they are something. Moscow, Petersburg? Ah, their glory was very similar, but it all ended in 1917; the vulgar Russian oligarchs who became billionaires overnight fifteen years ago can’t restore the old Romanov glories, yet they can feel like the Romanovs over in London’s ambience. Dubai? A nice place, but in reality an upstart Arab oil mirage in the sands and without the exclusive classy aura. After all, as recently as 1971, it just was an Arab fishing village with mud streets and had only 13 cars… Meanwhile, Harrod’s of London displays items such as ordinary steel cigar cutters on sale for £999.99 …
The truth is that in the present day very critical transitional phase of human history – or “end times”, if you will – when everything is boiling up and reaching a head, London and its atmosphere have become the congregating point for all the most corrupt human vermin history has ever known: the transnational corporate elites, “royalty” of all hues, decadent artistes (“rock stars”), debauched Arab sheiks, and the likes of the Third World Western toady elites such as the Pakistani rulers Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto, not to mention all the illegal immigrants attracted to it from the world over like moths to a bulb. It is truly a big, Devilish glitter city of class, culture and decadence at the end of days, just before the spectacular collapse commences. On the other hand, the only country that wholly fits this description is the Anglo-Saxon protege, the USA.
That and the fact that the US is going to merge with latin America and become a third world country.
Here is what I would do to take over control of US, Canada and Mexico.
1. Massively inflate consumer credit by loaning money to people at artificially low rates. This increases the money supply. (Done)
2. Massively expanded government issue of Long Term T-Bills to finance artificial war and purchase these bonds as investment. (Done)
3. Raise interest rates to collapse consumer credit and repossess as many assets as possible. This will automatically reduce money supply by 10x for every defaulted loan via reverse fractional reserve banking. (Planned)
4. Reduced money supply starves stock market and causes crash. Purchase maximum number of income producing corporations at extreme discounts. (Planned)
5. Value of Dollar drops due to extreme risk on Trillions of dollars of government debt and as other countries dump their investments in US. (Planned)
6. Drop Interest rate to support US dollar. Create massive capital appreciation in owned T-Bills.
7. Massively Sell T-Bills to cash in. This creates enormous reduction in Money Supply and US economy finally dies.
8. Introduce Amero as solution to combine cheap resources in Canada with cheap labor in Mexico and rebuild North American Union (NAU) upon foundation of the US assets purchased on the cheap from consumers and corporations.
9. Any person from former Canada, Mexico and US who wants a job or to purchase anything must be chipped to get a job or access their purely digital currency from their NAU bank.
Pass terrorism/immigration law requiring the chip at child birth to be issued a NAU birth certificate.
10. Insert random wars with Iran, Venezuela etc in above plan if having difficulty or delay with any steps.
