Manufacturing Broken Britain. The deceitful role of the MassMedia industry and the political lobbies
The United Kingdom has been on a turbulent political trajectory since the 2016 Brexit referendum. Once heralded as a beacon of parliamentary democracy and stability, the nation has become ungovernable. Polarized politics, ineffective leadership, and an ever-more influential media landscape have fueled confusion and disillusionment among citizens. The fourth estate—the mass media—has become not merely a watchdog of government but an active player in manipulating public sentiment and shaping political narratives. The rise of 24/7 media saturation, combined with entrenched media moguls like Rupert Murdoch and new outlets backed by secretive offshore interests, has transformed the UK into a breeding ground for disinformation, undermining both governance and socio-economic stability.

Private Companies as Political Entities and Foundations, the risk of Ponzi Schemes and Political Fraud
A more complex and under-examined example of Ponzi schemes can be found within private political foundations and political parties registered as private entities. Political organizations, especially in democratic societies, are often perceived as tools of collective decision-making and social change. This perception creates a fertile ground for fraudulent activities, where activists and supporters, driven by political ideology or passion for a cause, are deceived into becoming shareholders of an entity that is little more than a private company in disguise.
