When I was a kid, the Bronx was burning. My dad was a fireman who happened to be an Ivy League graduate.
He told me it wasn’t the crackheads torching the city, whatever the news said. It was fraud.
Let me explain how it worked…. John Doe buys a rundown apartment building for $100k. He pockets the redevelopment tax break, then sells it to Joe Doe for $250k. Joe pockets the tax break, then sells it to Jerry Doe for $500k. Rinse and repeat until the building is worth $5 million.
The tax breaks are real. The money is not.
Because the buyers are all family, the cash flows out of Swiss bank account 27852 and right back into 27852 after every sale. There’s a transaction cost, sure, but the tax breaks more than cover it.
Then comes the payoff: they insure the building for $5 million and burn it down.
The name for this was “Jewish Lightning.” The phrase stuck around not because the landlords were all Jewish, but because the stereotype hit a nerve in a city run by Jewish mayors from 1974 to 1989, the peak of the burning. Fair or not, the term stuck.
So why was none of this investigated? NGO funding, of course.
The NYPD union was powerful, and NYC detectives had sweeping investigative authority over almost everything. Except arson. Arson belonged to FDNY detectives. NGOs, routing money through union donations, stoked the rivalry between cops and firemen.
Long story short, arson investigators got no funding and zero cooperation from the NYPD.
No money for investigations means no arrests.
Eventually the Bronx ran out of buildings to burn, and Giuliani drove the final nail into arson fraud’s coffin.
But the lesson survived, and it’s the foundation of today’s fraud. The lesson was this: the actual value of the asset doesn’t matter.
👉What matters is the movement of money.
Destruction is still very profitable. When the Baltimore bridge collapsed, the cleanup and rebuild were estimated at $1.7 billion, with the bridge reopening in 2028. The cost has since ballooned to $5.2 billion, and the wreckage still isn’t fully cleared.
Money pours into demolition,, engineering, environmental review, project management, waste removal.
But if the work doesn’t actually get done, the real expenses stay low. The money moves; the bridge doesn’t.
And here’s the leap: you don’t have to destroy anything at all. You just have to not build it.
Democrats allocate money to a government body, which hands it to a project manager, who hires consultants, who hire subcontractors, who hire more subcontractors, who funnel it back to Democrats, who allocate more money.
The fewer the actual costs (labor, materials, equipment) the more of the flow you can capture.
And if a taxpayer complains, you hire a PR firm and a few consultants to explain why costs keep exploding while nothing gets built. The easiest thing to blame is red tape.
So why does red tape exist?
Because destroying valuable property, while profitable, is too obviously unethical.
Burning buildings gets you arrested, eventually. Not building gets you a ribbon-cutting and a press release.
Here’s the deeper trap. Because our most valuable assets are fixed (houses, cars, index funds) we think of money as static. You have what you have. It grows over time, but it doesn’t flow.
That’s exactly where the fraud lives: in the flow.
The light bulb moment was realizing you don’t need to destroy physical property. You only need to destroy productivity.
If labor and materials are never purchased while money pours in, the fraud works.
You don’t have to build or destroy anything of value, just productivity. You just announce a project and start writing checks while throwing up enough red tape to block any real spending on labor and materials.
This is basically why Congress handed @PeteButtigieg $1.2 trillion and our roads and bridges still suck five years later. They put up signs, traffic cones, and red tape, and little else.
But there are a few residual problems. 1/2

@Handre Great commentary, sadly most Western Governemnt's are on the Malaysian "buffet" path replete with racial and gender preferences. Would that the WEF read your post.
The UK establishment class is rotten to the core. Many belong in prison, or sentenced to death along with the perpetrators they protected, and continue to protect.
Here are eight essential quotes from @RupertLowe10's Rape Gang Inquiry.
1) This was a nationwide, not merely local, phenomenon.
"...that this was never a series of isolated local failures. It was a coordinated, nationwide pattern of organised child sexual exploitation that repeated in town after town, city after city, from the far north to the south coast."
2) The scale was enormous, more than anyone dared to think.
"The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher."
3) As has been reported, the vast majority of perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims.
" In court records and official inquiries, around 87% of those convicted in these group-based child sexual exploitation (‘CSE’) cases bore distinctively Muslim names... Dr. Taj Hargey, an imam with the Oxford Islamic Congregation, believes the true proportion of gang members who are Muslims to be around 95%."
4) Vulnerable girls were targeted using a consistent method.
"Organised networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men."
5) The police, and other institutions, knew what was happening and ignored it.
"Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail. Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children’s homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers. The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13, pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals or trauma care. Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them."
6) Those in these institutions did so because they were afraid of being called 'racist'.
"Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children."
7) Parts of the foster and orphan care system became exploitation hotspots.
"Children’s homes became trafficking hubs where staff failed to stop older men collecting girls at night. Local authorities often returned children to unsafe homes and placements despite repeated disclosures of grooming... Social care across England systematically enabled organised grooming and the rape of children. Children’s services, local authorities, foster carers, children’s homes, and independent units repeatedly returned vulnerable children to known risk."
8) Multiple offenders explicitly linked their treatment of these girls with their own religious and cultural beliefs, and the girls' white ethnicity.
"They were taken to houses, flats, restaurants, and hotels where they were raped repeatedly by groups of men, tortured, filmed for blackmail, and told they were “white trash” or “kuffar” who merited punishment."
There must be comeuppance for this, and it must involve the death penalty.

🚨WARNING the bit Starmer isnt telling you is... this sort of device technology is called Client-Side Scanning.
It is already built into the Ofcom regulated Online Safety Act through “accredited technology” notices. The EU has been pushing similar rules through its Child Sexual Abuse Regulation, known as “Chat Control”.
It basically means phone companies and platforms can be pushed to scan messages, images and content BEFORE you send them, then either allowing them to be sent or blocking/reporting them.
Once the precedent is set, "to protect children", it can easily be widened to block whatever government decides is “harmful”.
And that's how you go from child safety to state approved speech.
TA DAAAA 🚨
Ethiopia was briefly occupied by Italy, which abolished slavery there:
Italy claimed these measures freed around 420,000 slaves (some early reports mentioned 16,000 emancipated in the first two weeks alone). The slave trade was curtailed, and feudal practices tied to slavery were also targeted.

I was intrigued. Grok summarised the storyline and added:
All six episodes were wiped from the BBC archives in the 1970s (a common fate for many 1960s Doctor Who stories). However, the complete audio soundtrack survives, along with telesnaps and some short clips. In 2016, for the story’s 50th anniversary, the BBC released a high-quality animated reconstruction (available in both black-and-white and colour versions) that uses the original audio.
Hopefully i tis true to the original.

@posta_octavian Re-tribalisation of Europe. Might makes right, and if you're not part of the tribe, heaven help you. These aren't French kids having a bad day—they're young men taught from birth that Europe is the enemy and their real home is elswhere. The flags prove it.

@VigilantFox Canada renewed a law enforcement agreement with China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS), despite RCMP stating in August 2023 that it did not want to renew the agreement with the MPS after it expired.
Mark Carney’s got Canada's best interests at heart.
https://t.co/rnIr1aY2vN
Important to note regarding Mark Carney’s renewal of a law enforcement agreement with China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS):
A document from August of 2023 states that the RCMP did not want to renew the agreement with the MPS after it expired.
“While the RCMP continues to seek ways to mitigate and navigate the current reality of the Canada-China bilateral relationship, in order to progress on law enforcement issues of mutual concern, it does not envision renewing its expired Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) in the immediate future.”
