When Keir Starmer says he’s ’proudly patriotic’ but in the cosmopolitan sense and not in the narrow nationalistic one - what he really says is that he recognises the ethical mission (the purpose) of the United Kingdom. It’s a Moses Hess style thing

oh wow, i hadn't actually seen this one before

i've called indicator governance for quite a while, covid was one such example, but i didn't realise there was a governance report out of the uk on the topic

makes total sense.

LSE develops methodology
→ DFID adopts it
→ indicators feed WBG CPIA (gating IDA lending)
→ feed IMF Article IV (triggers conditionality)
→ feed OECD classification (determines capital routing)
→ feed FATF evaluation (determines financial access)

i'd argued as much in the past, but Ben Rubin's link cemented it

given all these crooks handed the title of 'Sir', i might just start attaching it to everyone's names to dilute its meaning.

Sir Ben Rubin

oops, had left out a section of the chronology wrt sourcing.

hmm… the concept of ‘anticipatory governance’… oh wait…

holy moly, that chapter is incredibly illuminating...

this is absolutely extraordinary.

this IS ‘indicator governance’ (covid)

now include long-termish, and you pretend you can predict the future. then it becomes ‘anticipatory governance’

essentially, that’s confirmation that the fabian parasite and other ‘progressives’ such as central bankers have implemented the system of the Soviet Union in super-slow motion\
