RECORDED ON MAY 16th 2024.
Grace Blakeley is an author, journalist, and political commentator. She attended University of Oxford where she graduated with a first-class honors degree in philosophy, economics, and politics. She has written for the Guardian, Tribune and the New Statesman among others, and appears regularly on television and radio, including on ITV Good Morning Britain, TalkTV and Jeremy Vine on Channel Five. She is the author of Stolen (Repeater), The Corona Crash (Verso), and her latest book, Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts, and the Death of Freedom.
In this episode, we focus on Vulture Capitalism. We start by talking about the most common misconceptions people have about how capitalism works. We then discuss how businesses are planned, the importance of labor movements, how companies get state support, and how countries from the global North exploit countries from the global South. We discuss what “freedom” means, and how people can democratize institutions and take back control. Finally, we talk about the current state of the world, and reasons for being optimistic.

    This issue is complicated, not because of intelligence and progress, but because of what is happening behind the scenes. There are those who monitor specific companies and intervene when there is an interest. In the end, the goal of companies is to make money, so some institutions ostensibly affiliated with the government grant privileges to some companies, such as lucrative contracts with the state. The aid is in exchange for turning these companies into mere tools.

    It is possible for a council of judges to appoint a temporary head of state in certain emergency situations, but if a politician, regardless of his capacity, chooses judges for a council of judges, then where is the principle of separation of authorities ?! Even the two dominant political parties are seeking to equally divide the Council of Judges! They turned the judiciary into a means of suppression, settling political scores, and committing crimes with impunity!

    4:00 what she said is correct, In fact, the issue is more complex than that. For example, with regard to companies that have big data of users from all around the world , they are targeted by security institutions that are nominally affiliated with the government, but in reality they work independently for the benefit of dominant lobby by blackmailing those companies using state institutions, including judicial institution and parliament , to control the tendencies of these companies and their databases.

    15:30 This is the conclusion. There is a lobby that rules from behind the scenes, and its presence continues with the succession of governments and parliaments, and its influence, power, and the amount of money it makes increases with time. It has taken control of the intelligence agencies and the army leadership, so that the leadership of the intelligence agencies and the army By forming a temporary lobby with the permanent lobby, based on the fact that the permanent lobby is the master who plans and governs, and that the lobby to which they belong is temporary, with the hope of joining the permanent lobby.

    For example, workers electing a new department head based on his showing sympathy for those workers or because he is one of them does not mean that he will be qualified for the manager’s job! The issue is related to establishing a kind of constitution that protects the rights of workers so that no boss violates those rights illegally (preserving that constitution as a reference that reflects the will and aspirations of the workers in that company).

    16:30 that’s not the role of the government (it’s just part of the puppet show), but it’s an direct ordered from the one who runs the puppet show (something persists regardless of the succession of governments and Parlaments), actually the government and the parliament are just part of the puppet show.

    The problem lies in the formation of a mafia at the top of the pyramid of power that becomes the one who determines the rules for reaching the pyramid of power based on its interests and not on the basis of competence. This causes a tendency to monopolize money, influence and control in the hands of a dominant gang and uses various criminal methods to maintain absolute dominance. A public referendum is not always the appropriate solution, especially with regard to managing the economy and money, as one person may be more competent than a thousand people.

    big G has to do with the speed of light, take a look at electromagnetic constant and its relationship with inverse squared speed of light, think thoroughly about Planck’s units, right side of Einstein’s field equation,,…. etc everything indicates that this Universe built based on one indivisible unit and that’s the secret behind fine structure constant. the speed of light is not just a number rather it has far deeper meaning that has to do with a universe built based on one indivisible unit (that’s why both cosmological and subatomic levels are strongly connected). the current understanding of space, time, gravity, constants, momentum is incorrect (weak understanding). to concise: speed of light role is similar to the the role of Pi , The pivotal role played by the speed of light and Pi confirms the validity of what I wrote about the fact that this universe was built based on one single, indivisible unit, and that is the secret behind entanglement and strong connection between the cosmic and subatomic levels.

    For example, what happened in the former Soviet Union, where the head of the family (the leadership of the Communist Party) obtained privileges through that position. I'm not sure this is true, but there are some stories that state that the leaders of the Communist Party were secretly bragging among themselves about wearing Western brands, including underwears. This happened in China, but in a slightly different way, during the process of transition to capitalism, where what had been repressed over several decades came to the surface in excess.

    The real dilemma in the global economic and financial system lies in the real value of the economy and the currency. For example, the continued control of the currency of the dominant country that lost its economic supremacy after it took control of the global financial system and works to maintain dominance through blackmail and spreading chaos, threats, fraud, and... . etc. has led to widespread problems in both the global economic and financial system that may lead to an imminent collapse. The mistake goes back several decades ago (the real value of currencies). Minting gold coins was a good idea since gold, as a valuable metal, does not lose its real value, but that is not an appropriate solution as a result of the current economic system, population, amount of ….., fraud, extortion, etc. The existence of a false value in the real value of the currency of the dominant countries poses a danger to the global economic and financial system.

    Adam Smith adopted an economic and financial system whose roots go back thousands of years (demand, supply, and competition based on individual differences in abilities...etc.) As for Marx, he also did not invent a completely new system, but rather it is an extension of a system that has prevailed for thousands of years, which is the family system. The head of the family, where the head of the family is responsible for dividing resources among family members regardless of the effort exerted by each individual, is a system that has proven its failure since ancient times as a result of not taking into account individual differences and turning into a tyrannical system that appears to be fair while in reality it is arbitrary, etc.).

    Of course apply that to other systems (someone must manage the system), What they are promoting, that the current capitalist system works by itself according to supply and demand and recovers on its own without intervention, is something ridiculous and has nothing to do with reality. By the way, the capitalist system in general is not a modern innovation at all, but rather it is ancient and dates back several thousand years.
