It is sometimes worth looking back a few years to see what happened in the changing world I was observing three years ago, knowing that I would shortly leave UK for the joy of moving south for good.
Protect & SurviveThe Financial Jigsaw Part 2, Episode (99): This week is a re-post of my ‘Letter from Great Britain’ on August 5, 2023, issued today because events in UK have become critical, due to the HMG Budget on October 28, 2026. Three years ago it became clear that something was stirring with the Masters of the Financial Universe located in the City of London. Although this is recent history, the lessons have not changed, but regrettably have been ignored by the UK Establishment Blob. Normal service will be resumed next week.
Before reproducing my ‘Letter from Great Britain’ below, I couldn’t resist the temptation to quote (lightly edited) from a source in Eastern Europe this week: “A Masterclass in Western Self-Destruction”
“Donald Trump’s sudden conversion to realism is not an act of statesmanship; it is the death rattle of an imperial posture that is out of ammunition, out of diesel, and run out of road. He spent years playing puerile, school-yard games, flattering the war lobby, threatening Iran with nuclear annihilation, and pretending he could solve civilisational clashes with real-estate braggadocio.

Now, when reality strikes him in the face and he is forced to admit that Ukraine cannot win, the machine he refused to destroy has turned its sights on him. Let the corporate networks shriek about treason. Let the European foreign ministers draft their 23rd sanctions packages and pledge money they do not have. It will not alter the map of Eurasia.
The Russian military is methodically closing the cauldrons, the multipolar world is cementing its trade architecture across BRICS+ and SCO, and the collective West is left trapped in a prison of its own making: governed by panicked clowns, ruled by unhinged, corrupt bureaucracies, and eating itself alive while the historical tide rolls on; powerless as their populations are violently revolting.”
My Letter from three years ago is as relevant today as it was then; the crisis is more energetic now and much closer. The Brits have known war on their own soil for centuries and memories of WW2 has revived the elites’ (Mogg & Co) rallying call to the troops to defend their decrepit society with their lives. Many Brits ask: “What am I fighting for?” Good Question! But before I answer this question, I promised to offer my readers hope for the future at the end of this series, so here it is:
The future is Local. This 10-minute video explains how informal, local networks are active now in South Africa. As Britain tackles its economic troubles, local innovation can work the same way in the Western world too:
WW3 DECLARED! – De-banking – Silent Weapons – Rate Hike – Sitrep Ukraine – USSR/UK – Vaxx Attack – Climate Code Red – Magic Money – Escape! – EVIL – Metaphor – Letter from Great Britain [08-05-23]
A TITANIC BATTLE BROKE OUT in the City of London last week when Nigel Farage responded to the Banksters’ first salvo fired in the “BANKSTERS WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE” led by Coutts Bank; Farage explains in this 6-min Tweet.
The Banksters suffered their first two casualties MIA which I reported last week. However, the Bankster’s NatWest (NWB) leader, Howard Davies is holed up in a City foxhole whilst the People rally for another assault. Here is Nigel Farage’s ‘Situation Report’ (SitRep).
In America, Chase Bank opened their offensive with a “de-bank missile” fired at one of the People’s high-profile Covid heroes Dr Mercola, (10m+ followers); no damage report yet. Dr. Mercola lives in Florida where their ‘Financial Response Army’ is building a defensive posture.
The Bankster Cabal silently opened WW3 hostilities in March 2020 (undeclared) employing their handmaiden, the US DoD, launching a coordinated bioweapon attack upon the whole world, operationally disguised by the WHO as their “Pandemic”. [Three years later we have more than enough indisputable evidence (2021) that Covid was a military grade PsyOp, aka ‘Scamdemic’.]
Britain used its “The NUDGE UNIT”, now re-formed as private mercenary group at Behavioural Insights Team. HMG have ‘cleaned house’! [“It’s nothing to do with us gov”!] The HMG Digital ID offensive, currently in planning stage, will be similarly privatised thus absolving HMG from all responsibility. This is standard camouflage deception tactics long exercised in wartime. Here are HMG’s deceptive weasel-words:
“The government is not making digital identities mandatory. This is not a step towards ID cards. Instead, we’re setting robust standards to make sure innovative private-sector solutions protect privacy, boost security, and enable greater accessibility, all while growing the economy by saving people and businesses time and money.” [methinks they protest too much]
Translation: Digital IDs are part of the private Banksters’ control system which will require a Digital ID to access the internet, bank accounts, get a job, rent an apartment etc – you get the point, it’s mandatory control by stealth – again it’s a Military Tactical SOP.
OPENING SKIRMISH: Banks are closing more than 1,000 accounts every working day, according to new data that has fuelled growing anger over, “de-banking” and prompted Nigel Farage to call for a Royal Commission to investigate. This week, Nigel the People’s Commander in Chief (CinC), is continuing a direct assault on the Coutts Bank salient, they having fallen back to a defensive line waving a white flag! Our ‘CinC’ is pressing home his attack with the objective to secure HMG Statute Law forcing banks to give a clear explanation of the reason why they are de-banking a customer. [2026 Comment: I wonder what happened to that?]
Farage launched his own silent weapon, an intelligence website, where the formally de-banked can enter local damage reports: Accountclosed.org On Tuesday Farage sent a “Letter before Action” to Coutts requiring a full apology, compensation for costs, and a face-to-face meeting with their chiefs. He seeks to ascertain how many customers at Coutts and NatWest have had accounts closed because of their political opinions, and to ensure this never happens again, “So the fight goes on.”
This is the opening skirmish of WW3, much akin to the 1940 ‘Battle of Britain’, which followed months of ‘phony war’ following a formal declaration of hostilities on September 3, 1939, but this war has been incubating unnoticed for three years! Prominent casualties have been silently accumulating, but hidden. Arron Banks, co-founder of the ‘Leave.EU Campaign’, joined Nigel Farage about his de-banking by Barclays in 2018.
SILENT WEAPONS: The Banksters’ weapon of choice was the time-release bioweapon, “Covid Vaxx Mk 1”, NATO designation: “The Vaxx”. This has potential to claim an estimated five billion global casualties over the next 10 years – only time will confirm the extent of the damage. However Dr Mercola & friends already know the truth.
This is a category of 5th Generation warfare known as, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars [Quote: “… [to] understand this “War”, which has been declared against the PEOPLE, would be to properly identify the true enemy of Humanity”]. This category of silent weapon is in the same ordnance class as lockdowns, face-masks, social distancing, and ‘stay-at-home’ mandates. They are ‘strategic weapons’, (’Net Zero’ is another); they have kinetic counterparts in the Nuclear ICBM.
These weapons are designed to eliminate vast swathes of the populace as opposed to silent tactical weapons, like the UN Agenda 2030 ESG Scam, which targets local populations such as ‘15-minute cities’, by infiltrating local and central government institutions with the toxic cultural ‘Wokeness Weapons’ and removing the circulation of cash (the sovereign People’s money).

STRATEGIC WAR ASSESSMENT
This is a “Silent War using multiple Quiet Weapons” unlike any war fought in history. There are no kinetic weapons to be found on this 21st century, 5th Generation battlefield. A 60-page CIA Training Manual, describing this new form of warfare, was published during the 1950s. It was recognised in 1995 as “Fifth Dimension Operations” and involves ‘Information Warfare’.
By definition, in DoD Joint Publication 3-13, “Information Operations (IO) are described as the integrated employment of electronic warfare (EW), computer network operations (CNO), psychological operations (PsyOp), military deception (MILDEC), and operations security (OPSEC), in concert with specified supporting and related capabilities, to influence, disrupt, corrupt or usurp adversarial human and automated decision making while protecting our own.”
This type of warfare is not new; geopolitical 3D chess was played well before the enlightened Pawns got wise to what happened over 30+ years. Look back with ‘Bird and Fortune’ – many truths lie here in 7 minutes, especially the countries mentioned in today’s conflicts in East Asia.
Although the Banksters have brought one nuclear option to bear by setting ESG ‘MINEFIELDS’, other options are being tested. A second strategic front will be opened soon in the form of ‘Digital IDs’. These are the next advance before launching final hypersonic “Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)“, attacking and corralling the People into a digital global prison created with programmable central bank money.
Although these silent weapons are powerful, they are ineffective if the defenders are alert to the obvious signs, understand the nature of this war, and are able to avoid the obstacles and targeted attacks. The People can use Non-violent Action (NVA) defensive tactics by RESISTING & NOT COMPLYING and Go Local as an Alternative to the Authoritarian, WEF Vision of the ‘New Normal’ Great Reset. [2026 Comment: AI (LLMs) have also entered the Globalist inventory; beware; you are being mind-controlled: https://www.globalresearch.ca/ai-meant-break-you/5942953]
However we are already witnessing a withering defence by The People against the ESG minefields, as ZeroHedge noted, “ESG scoring and mandates remain a subject we have contested since it sprang to life in 2020. The push of “woke activism” on, and by companies, to meet nebulous or artificial standards has led to various bad outcomes.”
What caused these fund outflows by ESG investors? Read ZeroHedge. BlackRock manages $15tn+ fund assets and has infiltrated almost all corporates. BlackRock has large stakes in these companies pushing BlackRock’s ESG agenda. The question is, why would they do that? Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock explains
BRITAIN’S BATTLE PLAN
‘The Integrated Operating Concept’ (2021) is a high level HMG Warfare Strategy. This Military Concept’ sets out a new approach to the utility of armed force in an era of strategic competition and an evolving ‘character’ of warfare (Translation; 5th Gen Warfare) Integrated Operating Concept 2025 and 22 page MoD Manual
Alex Cresswell, Thales UK (2023), at Shaping a resilient and agile future for the UK’s security landscape in a ‘Customer Day’ at Shrivenham said, “we recognise the significance of exploiting and sharing data in a trusted manner across different domains, empowering decision-makers during crucial moments. The three zones, “Exploiting Data,” “See the Unseen,” and “Defeat the Threat,” provide valuable insights into the capabilities, technologies, and enablers of the “Integrated Force”.
HMG opines that the old distinction between foreign and domestic defence is increasingly irrelevant. When ‘fake-news’ appears to originate from (not abroad), but at home, it gains credibility and reach, stoking confusion, disagreement, division and doubt in our societies. [UK Column News—28th March 2018; The HMG ‘Fusion Doctrine’ has unleashed a military dictatorship unfolding before our very eyes. ‘Fake News Inquiry’ is being used to silence dissenters and alternative media: The Fusion Doctrine.
STOP PRESS – DON’T BE DISTRACTED by Green Peace/Sunak trivia, timed to obfuscate the important news on Thursday – the BoE interest rate hike, 0.25% to 5.25%, however it’s not the end of this cycle. The City [aka Banksters] is ahead of BoE’s thinking as always. Economists know interest rates will stay higher for longer and expect a peak 5.75% holding for a minimum 12 months.
Banksters know it’s the wrong medicine but are doing it anyway as wages rise to 7.3% overall, (7.7% private sector), the Bank will not reach its 2% target next year, if ever. But this is a compounding spiral, reminiscent of the 1970s, as companies continuously hike prices driving inflation yet higher.

FUN TIDBITS
Do the recent attacks by the Banksters make you feel like we are living in the old USSR? It was in the Soviet Union that many jokes like this one circulated among dissenters; “We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us!” in response to the Politburo claim of zero unemployment. I personally witnessed this effect in 1994 Belarus where I photographed four men painting a hospital door!
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Is Big Parma’s Vaxx a bioweapon? Here is a clue cleverly translated by an exceptional fellow Substacker; it’s worth subscribing to his unique perspectival essays, https://substack.com/@etscinemapsychomasonica
The British Establishment’s favourite spoof is to embed hidden clues and symbols into what they are really doing knowing that 99% would never see, let alone understand. It appears to give them some kind of sick satisfaction, messaging that, “WE ARE IN CONTROL” (They love to play games with words and symbols):

CLIMATE CHANGE PsyOp – UN AGENDA 2030 The PLAN – GOAL 13: “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.”
The BANKSTERS’ BATTLE PLAN for CLIMATE CHANGE was formalised in Stockholm, Sweden June 5-16,1972, at the ‘UN Scientific Conference’, aka ‘The First Earth Summit’, which adopted a declaration setting out principles for the preservation and enhancement of the human environment, and a plan containing recommendations for international environmental action.
It had been in the planning stage for decades hailing back to the 1950s and was publicised by the Club of Rome book, “Limits to Growth” in 1972 – funny that the dates coincide – nothing happens by chance eh? The Club of Rome have now followed up with their new book for 2023. The plan was developed into UN Agenda 2021 & 2030 with the ESG strategy included in many of the 17 Goals for 2030. It was actioned by the WEF as the “Climate Change Offensive.”
This is the “Current State of the World” – Political Treachery, Deceptions, Lies and Criminality – an Introduction with Colonel Pedro Baños, a Spanish military specialist in 5th Generation Warfare and geopolitics. He is the author of five books and countless articles, essays and interviews.
The Greek salient is just one of many battlegrounds. In his book The Global Warming Hypothesis is an Unproven Hypothesis, Dr. Nakamura explains why the data underpinning global warming science is “untrustworthy” and cannot be relied on.
Last week’s heatwaves in southern Europe would have been “virtually impossible” without humans altering the climate (according to the BBC.)
But the BBC was quoting ‘computer models’ rushed to press by World Weather Attribution (WWA), yet another Platoon in the Banksters offensive. Sources

INFLATION WATCH
The BoE raised the key interest rate on Thursday by a dovish quarter point to 5.25%, the highest in 15 years, but disappointing the more hawkish in the market. Looking ahead, pundits now see a 68% chance of a 25bps rate hike in September. Britain is stuck in a “low-growth trap”, the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, has warned, after the Bank of England lifted interest rates to a 15-year high of 5.25% yesterday. (He’s not kidding – I have highlighted Britain’s 25-year no-growth economy many times – is Hunt blind, stupid or controlled?
Is inflation baked-in or will we see disinflation or even deflation going forward (the horror scenario for central banksters)? Econometric studies indicate that government expenditure multipliers are positive for the first 18 months after initial deficit financing (e.g., Covid give-aways like furloughs); then it turns negative after three years. The lag is just beginning to bite in America although Britain is behind the curve.
It’s always worth looking back to 2022 and review the timeline produced by the OBR – giggles are due! “Ask not for whom the bell tolls – it tolls for you Sunak!” It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
SURVIVAL MONITOR: My Plan ‘B’ is now in full effect and we are on our planned Critical Path (CPA); Pickfords will be shipping our personal effects on September 18 and I will report progress of our Escape Plan as events dictate. I trust this will provide a guide for others planning to move south to prosper and survive against the Banksters’ onslaught in UK & the Collective West.
I will be documenting my passage to Cape Town in November/December and writing both a biweekly ‘Letter from South Africa’, alternating with a ‘Letter from Great Britain’, each month next year, also continuing my serialised ‘The Financial Jigsaw Part 2’, for paid subscribers, due this month.
THE NARRATIVE BATTLE – Few political figures have done more to keep Ukrainians fighting and dying in huge numbers, in a bloody futile proxy war of attrition, than Ursula von der Leyen
This is why the unelected EU Commission got awarded, the “World Prize for Peace and Freedom”, presented by King of Spain, Felipe VI and Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau at the UN 28th ‘World Congress on Law’ closing ceremony; the flagship biennial event of the US-based ‘World Jurists Association’ (WJA). They always pat their own mate’s backs! Corruption at all levels of national and global institutions is endemic and persists inexorably. Although we expect such behaviour in emerging nations, the narrative in the Collective West is that we are ‘democratic’.
FINALLY:
COMING NEXT WEEK – Apologies – this week I planned to expose “The current state of the USA” but the Banksters declared war on the People this week which took precedence. Much more will follow next week. We are on a war footing now! “Keep Calm and Carry On” – like the last time!

WARTIME SUMMARY UPDATE: UKRAINE SITREP: October 2026; “A Winter of Discontent”
At the Warsaw Security Forum, NATO unveiled its formal “Theory of Victory Over Russia.” Presented by top alliance brass, including General Alexus Grynkewich, before delegates of all 32 member states, the doctrine announced that Europe will “block, blunt, and break” the Russian Armed Forces. The centrepiece of this plan is an extraordinary geopolitical assertion: “NATO will fight and defeat Russia entirely on its own, with or without the United States.”
Shakespeare had it right: “Fly, noble English, you are bought and sold; unthread the rude eye of rebellion and welcome home again discarded faith.” [King John; Act 5, Scene 4]. The dying French lord Melun warns the English rebels that they have been betrayed and urges them to return to King John before suffering total defeat.
WEST ASIA – Simon Rorschach reveals how the Houthis defied Washington and humbled the House of Saud. A new power is emerging on the Arabian Peninsula. For decades, the Arabian Peninsula was treated as the private domain of the House of Saud, protected by American weapons, money, and military bases. The rise of Ansar Allah marks the emergence of a new regional power that refuses to accept the hierarchy established by the Americans and their Arab allies. This is precisely how multipolarity develops.
