Here’s one the I’m-alright-Jack smartarses won’t be able to go hahahaha about. This is a post built on incandescent rage: if you don’t like bad language then look away now.

Earlier this year I coughed up €120 to have Microsoft 8.1 removed from my pc, having been forced via a retail supply monopoly to buy a laptop with this awful operating version on it.

Ever since, Microsoft panels have appeared saying the following in these stages, with my response at the end:

* Wouldn’t you be better off with 8.1? NO

* Update to 8.1 now! NO

*Update to 8.1 with four time options. NO

* Update to 8.1 within 4 hours or we’ll switch your laptop off & do it anyway.

I’ve spoken since to three Government departments, plus the lady who reinstalled my 8 software and removed 8.1…at a price. All of them say it’s not their responsibility. All blamed ME for signing a licence agreement. (I ticked a box saying “Proceed”: that is not ‘signing an agreement’ among real people. All told me I was over-reacting.

Microsoft is a 21st century software-cum-comms globalist supplier that refuses to offer telephone contact with any of its offices by country or region. Even fucking MI5 supplies that. I asked Conservative Minister Oliver Letwin (when he was in Opposition) to guarantee that, when the Tories came to power, this ridiculous “hiding” by Microsoft would be abolished. Four years the Coalition has been in office: nothing has happened.

I use this example merely to reiterate what I have posted here many, many times before:

1. Globalists are, given half a chance, monopolous gangsters

2. No western government is remotely interested in taming these bastards

3. Their incestuous relationship with security service surveillance in facilitating such snooping means the citizen has zero redress: like Murdoch, the bankers, and all the rest of the ghouls, these people are above the Law

4. Our political systems in “the West” have been forcibly hijacked by the rich and powerful for their own ends, and our politicians are merely gofer bumboys doing their will…which is the diametric opposite of our needs

5. I DON’T BLOODY CARE HOW I CAN AVOID THESE SHITHEADS. Are any of you smartarses out their getting this? I want them to be blown away upon the four winds of history. I want them to be no more. And no, stop talking shite….95+% of people have neither the guile nor time to avoid them: why the fuck should they have to?

The ultimate frustration for me is, in the year 2014, having to explain to intelligent people why there is only one way this is going to end unless we do something. Why do people today see the idea of privacy, control of personal destiny, constitutional reform and keeping Mammon out of politics as some sort of airy-fairy philosophy wank? Why do eyes glaze over at supper parties or during everyday conversation when I say things like human dignity, ethics, equality before the Law and holding the powerful to account?

Here are some places where it could very easily end:

* Every personal bank account raided “for the good of society” – aka, to save the arse of frontal-lobe syndrome bankers

* Every citizen given a daily consumption target…non-compliance with which ups their tax bill

* 97% of the population coughing up for the greed-driven sins of the 3% (See ‘Greece/Troika’)

* Every dissonant voice classed as a non-violent extremist, and sent down for two years (See ‘Cameron/UN speech’)

* Every terrorist classed as a barbarous beheader…until such time as he’s our ally, at which point he becomes a rebel freedom-fighter (See ‘McCain/Assad/Orwell/1984’).

The only way I can satirise all this (satire having been overtaken by reality time and time again) is to suggest that one day soon, a movie will be made in which Bonnie & Clyde are behind the counter in banks, blowing the heads off customers who ask to withdraw their money.

This is a tyranny I never believed would happen. It is a tyranny brought upon the heads of the ignorant, the lazy, the naive and the materialist in all of us. It is what the French would call la chute: the downfall of Western civilisation.
