Rothschilds Engineer Fire Sale Of UK Infrastructure To Offshore Corporations
#1
From over on this side of the pond comes this article, which I will leave to the subjects of the Queen to interpret and analyze. We won our freedom some time ago (at least we think we did, but perhaps, in the end, we did not). At any rate, some outlet in the Republic of Texas (that place with only one star down near Mexico) offers up the article that follows.

Just one point: It appears that the photo is reversed; all the cars are on the wrong bloody side.


Rothschilds Engineer Fire Sale Of UK Infrastructure To Offshore Corporations


Elitist banking dynasty pushes for toll roads that would privatize the UK’s road network, enrich coffers of same banking elite who have wrecked global economy

The Rothschild banking family is pushing for the privatization of the UK’s motorway network that would force Brits, who already pay road tax, to enrich the coffers of private corporations intimately tied in with the Rothschilds by means of road tolls and pay-by-mile schemes enforced with spy cameras.
“A plan to privatize the UK’s motorway network, giving toll firms access to large swaths of road, would take place under the guise of paying down the government’s debt, British media reported Tuesday, citing a number of key officials who support the scheme, proposed to all major political parties by NM Rothschild, one of the world’s oldest, most influential and little discussed investment banks, founded by the Rothschild family,” reports Raw Story.
Both Transport Secretary Philip Hammond and Business Secretary and UK Treasury Spokesman Vince Cable have signaled that the scheme will go ahead, formally handing over Britain’s infrastructure to transnational corporations and offshore banks at the behest of the most insidious gaggle of globalists ever to walk the earth.
The Rothschilds are perhaps the most larcenous banking family in history, a dynasty that has routinely made vast fortunes from economic collapses it personally engineered, such as the massive London stock market crash during the battle of Waterloo.
In June 1815, Nathan Rothschild, after being told by his agent that Wellington had defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, immediately dashed to London and ordered his agents to dump consuls. This triggered a selling panic, with traders believing that Wellington had lost. Only when stocks plummeted and could be bought for a song did it emerge that Wellington had in fact won, something that Rothschild knew all along, and by this point his agents had bought up cheap stocks for next to nothing. The stock market soared again and the Rothschild family made obscene profits, enabling them to become the richest family in the world.
This gargantuan Rothschild ploy was documented in the excellent documentary, The Money Masters. Watch a clip below.

The UK government is now laboring under record deficits and indebted to the same central bankers who control the country through the Bank of England, originally named the Company of the Bank of England, which was controlled by Nathan Rothschild, who once stated, “I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.”
Rothschild family members have wielded significant influence over the Bank of England through their service on the Bank’s Court of Directors over the years.
“The bank was behind many of the key privatisations of the 1980s and 1990s, including British Steel, British Gas and British Coal. It has close links to the Conservatives, having employed several senior Party figures including Lord Lamont, John Redwood and Lord Wakeham. Oliver Letwin, the former shadow chancellor, works there part-time,” reports the London Times.

Rothschilds have had significant influence of the British government in recent years through their close relationship with recent Business Secretary and influential Bilderberg member, Lord Mandelson, who is routinely photographed cavorting around with Rothschild family members on private yachts and in sports cars in luxury holiday resorts. Mandelson is widely loathed in Britain as a snobbish elitist and was forced to resign from the government on two separate occasions having been involved in numerous cover-ups and scandals, but just seems to keep getting back into power in one way or another.
Britons already pay road tax as well as local council tax which is supposed to go towards the cost of maintaining roads and motorways, but will be forced to pay even more on private-owned toll roads if this scheme goes ahead, having their living standards reduced yet further as a fresh wave of tax increases for the “middle class” is readied by the new government. The “middle class” is defined as anyone barely scraping a living, since the hikes will affect people who earn just £20,000 a year.
Critics have labeled the move a “shadow toll” and predicted a public backlash, which is a good thing because Brits will finally start to realize that it is private central bankers, and not puppet politicians who really control the country, and that internationalist crooks are selling Britain’s infrastructure to their offshore affiliates who will then reap the rewards from Brits being charged to use the roads they already pay for through a myriad of other taxes.

They should have hanged him for that.

As for the current road infrastructure privatisation scheme, the Brits should burn down the Parliament rather than accept that. Then move on to the Rothschild mansions, one by one.

Toll privatization scheme in Michigan HB 4961 amounts to a tax paid directly to private corporations, without representation

Thursday, May 27, 2010
This bill has passed the house, 56-51 and is going to the Senate.
Michigan House Bill 4961 [pdf] boils down to Taxation without Representation – turning the State’s right to levy taxes over to private international corporations, essentially ceding sovereignty over critial infrastructure. The corporations will be able to levy highway tolls without oversight or regulation on US citizens, should this bill pass.

At an absolute minimum it allows the creation of a single high occupancy toll lane. After the next repaving of an entire highway, tolls can be collected on all lanes.
Now that the financial elite have tanked our economy, they’re trying to buy up our infrastructure and property using their international corporations that operate above the law.
Some important exerpts from the bill:
… to abolish the office of state highway commissioner and the commissioner’s advisory board and to transfer their powers and duties…
TO PROVIDE FOR PUBLIC-PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES; TO AUTHORIZE PUBLIC-PRIVATE AGREEMENTS RELATING TO … TOLLING, OPERATING, OR MAINTAINING A PUBLIC-PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION FACILITY
[allow private corporation to tax the use of public "transportation facilities" ... but what constitutes a transportation facility?]
“TRANSPORTATION FACILITY” MEANS ANY NEW OR EXISTING HIGHWAY, ROAD, BRIDGE, TUNNEL, OVERPASS, RAMP, INTERCHANGE, FERRY, AIRPORT, VEHICLE PARKING FACILITY, VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION FACILITY, PORT FACILITY, LOCKS FACILITY, RAIL FACILITY, INTERMODAL OR OTHER PUBLIC TRANSIT FACILITY, OR ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT, ROLLING STOCK, SITE, OR FACILITY USED IN THE TRANSPORTATION OF PERSONS, GOODS, SUBSTANCES, VEHICLES, …
[Wait for it, wait ....]

[B]INFORMATION, OR MATTER OF ANY KIND…[/B]

[data cables are included in "transportation facilities?!" This bill would allow sale and private taxation of network (internet/data) infrastructure as a "transportation facility" based on "congestion." Data cables are already leased by big cable/telcos so what does this mean for them?]


… INCLUDING THE SALE OF REVENUE BONDS …
[turn the business holdings into a fiat financial market; enable fractional lending based on expected future revenue, destabilizing the business]

“INSTRUMENTALITY OF GOVERNMENT” MEANS A LEGAL PUBLIC ENTITY CREATED OR EMPOWERED TO CARRY OUT FUNCTIONS COMMONLY CARRIED OUT BY UNITS OF GOVERNMENT

THE AGREEMENT SHALL PROVIDE THAT THE OWNERSHIP OF A TRANSPORTATION FACILITY WITHIN THIS STATE SHALL BE VESTED IN AN INSTRUMENTALITY OF GOVERNMENT AND THAT TITLE TO THE TRANSPORTATION FACILITY SHALL NOT BE ENCUMBERED
[the corporation will have complete "unencumbered" control]

NO PROVISION OF A PUBLIC-PRIVATE AGREEMENT SHALL ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO BE DEPRIVED OF THE USE AND BENEFIT OF A TRANSPORTATION FACILITY EXCEPT AS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT TOLLS OR OTHER CHARGES
[the corporation has the authority to deny access if you don't pay the toll]
A TOLL MAY BE IMPOSED ON A HIGHWAY ONLY IF IMPOSED FOR THE USE OF NEW HIGHWAYS, OR THE USE OF EXPANDED HIGHWAY CAPACITY BEYOND HIGHWAY CAPACITY IN PLACE ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AMENDATORY ACT THAT ADDED THIS SECTION.
[tolls may be levied for any expansion or heavy traffic (?)]
TOLLS AND OTHER CHARGES IMPOSED FOR THE USE OF A TRANSPORTATION FACILITY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO REGULATION BY ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.
[the tolling will not be regulated by the government]
NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO ALLOW THE CONVERSION OF ANY NONTOLL OR NONUSER-FEE LANES EXISTING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE … WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A HIGH-OCCUPANCY VEHICLE LANE THAT MAY BE OPERATED AS A HIGH-OCCUPANCY TOLL LANE FOR VEHICLES NOT OTHERWISE MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THAT LANE.
At a minimum, if this passes, the corporation(s) will create high occupancy toll lanes. Initially this allows them to just take one lane and turn it into a private toll lane. If we let this pass, how easy will it be to expand it to 2 “managed lanes,” or 3, or the whole highway?
When the highway needs repaving, will the private company dictate who gets the contracts? And how do we select which private company gets to take control in the first place? Well, anything goes according to this:
ANY COMPETITIVE SELECTION PROCESS THAT THE DEPARTMENT DETERMINES TO BE APPROPRIATE OR REASONABLE … USING A COMPETITIVE SELECTION PROCESS WHEN TO THE EXTENT PRACTICABLE
….
INFORMATION SUBMITTED UNDER SUCH A PROMISE OF CONFIDENTIALITY SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
[The bidding process will be competative to the extent that the government determines is "reasonable," but you'll never know because whatever we say is "private negotiations" will be exempt from FOIA requests]
A newer version of the bill (pdf) has been released that is substantially the same but provides for “public hearings” to receive user input; amounting to no real oversight or accountability.
THE COMMISSION SHALL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 5 YEARS TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT AND INPUT WITH REGARD TO THEN EXISTING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES ….
After the next repaving, all highway lanes can be turned into toll lanes. Signing this bill will inevitably turn our Michigan highways into private revenue streams for multinational corporations, not to mention ports, rail, and network infrastructure. This is infrastructure we’ve already paid to build, and need to maintain ourselves in order to sustain the local economy by hiring local workers and companies.
People from Michigan, it is absolutely critical that we reject this bill. We can not let them hand our infrastructure over to international corporations as many other states have. In the long run Michigan will lose on this deal in a big way.
They mean business and will do whatever is necessary including paying off our elected officials. Call your representatives and let them know we’re watching!

From MI Rep Paul Opsommer:
OUT-OF-STATE MEDDLING WORSENS HB 4961
May 24, 2010
State Rep. Paul Opsommer today criticized Canadian and Ohio officials for pushing legislation that would allow the Michigan Department of Transportation to toll virtually anywhere in Michigan.
“At the end of the day, whose law is this anyway?” asked Opsommer, R-Dewitt. “Canada’s understandable need to be part of border discussions is now being eclipsed by their off-base efforts to support the Ontario pension fund, and now we have resolutions being introduced involving the Ohio Legislature as well. If we pass laws in Michigan that give MDOT unilateral tolling power in our state it should be because that is what the Michigan Legislature feels is right, not because of pressure from other states or countries.”
Opsommer made his comments in response to a recent news story that officials in Ohio are advocating for their resolution SR 223 in support of the Detroit River International Crossing. The bill in Michigan that would allow for that, HB 4961, would also give new power to MDOT at the expense of the Legislature. HB 4961 is also criticized for allowing “instrumentalities of government” from other countries and states to enter into contracts that could potentially determine the tolling rates and eminent domain decisions taking place in Michigan.
“It has been a conscious decision by MDOT to wrap the DRIC bridge up into broad public-private partnership legislation that would not only allow for the DRIC but would cause the Legislature to give up its authority to statutorily authorize tolling anywhere else in the state,” Opsommer said. “I don’t know if this is because the governor wants to use the bill as leverage to keep Canada happy with the DRIC, or if she simply wants to have the unilateral ability to impose tolls on taxpayers with no other checks and balances, but either way it’s wrong.”
The Ambassador Bridge, Blue-Water Bridge and all other tolled facilities in Michigan received their tolling authority through stand alone bills authorized by the Legislature. Opsommer cited a recent letter from the attorney general’s office that concurs that MDOT currently only has the ability to toll where the Legislature has given its formal approval.
“Whether tolling is done directly by MDOT or a private contractor, you want someone who has been elected by the people determining where to use that tool,” Opsommer said. “In cases where it is being done by a private contractor who is using toll rates not just to break even but also to create profits, I would think you would want to keep voter accountability even more. If toll rates go unfairly through the roof, who are taxpayers supposed to turn too? The Legislature will be powerless at that point; it would actually be players from outside of the state who would have the final word.”
Opsommer also pointed to international pressure from Canada as having an unfair influence on the process.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that the main potential investor in all of this, the Ontario pension fund OMERS, was recently granted expanded powers by the Canadian government to provide investment management services I am not sure we would even be here,” Opsommer said. “We shouldn’t be making decisions on tolling Michigan taxpayers based off of the financial needs and a quest for high returns by a Canadian pension fund. The DRIC and HB 4961 should be treated as two entirely separate issues.”
The National Motorists Association has endorsed a substitute version of HB 4961 that would ensure the Michigan Legislature still retained its tolling authority over MDOT and other instrumentalities of government from outside of the state.
“It is essential to not pass any version which does not provide for specific legislative approval for any public-private partnership that will involve direct tolling for the users,” said Jim Walker of the National Motorist’s Association. “Should the H-6 unfortunately pass in the House, I hope the Senate will have the courage to fix this issue.”

Yes, here in Sydney, as in other cities around the world, we have toll roads constructed and mostly funded by private contractors, which are essentially privately owned roads, legislated to return into public ownership in 30 years or so. The Cross City Tunnel and Lane Cove Tunnel are two examples.

What you have there Ed, seems to be privatisation of previously publicly owned roads and the introduction of tolls on roads where none previously existed--a much greater breach of public trust.

A quote from the excellent Stoneleigh piece you posted in the Louisiana oil drilling thread fits nicely:

Quote:Elites (top predators) will have a smaller peripheral pool from which to extract the tithes they have come to expect. No longer able to pick the pockets of the whole world, they will very likely squeeze domestic populations much harder in a vain attempt to maintain the resources of the centre at their previous level. This will be very painful for those at the bottom of the pyramid, who will be asked, told and eventually forced to increase their contributions, at the very moment their ability to do so declines sharply.
