Thanks for your clear analysis. There is prima facie evidence that the individuals responsible are themselves non-compliant ie acting illegally. They are getting away with it by "pulling the wool over the eyes" of accountants, auditors and KYC systems which allow transactions to pass that ought to be refused since they breach the Companies Act 2006 and Monopoly legislation. The individuals are doing this by establishing multiple legal identities in Companies House, which conceals directorships from audit and KYC. This fundamentally breaches the systems in place to manage compliance and so their constructs are illegally established. I've been mounting a campaign to call this out, documenting some of it on my Substack. I've served The Lords' Commissioner for Standards with a claim for a Judicial Review of his failure to address my complaints about our Attorney General Hermer, who has registered two identities in Companies House and fails to declare his recent directorships of Matrix Chambers Limited and The Harbour Foundation. If I am successful, this will set a precedent that we can use to bring all the culprits to book, including Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson, the Chair of HMRC (Jayne-Anne Gadhia), Lord Fink, half of the Judicial Appointments Commissioners, the Lords Conduct Committee, CEOs of AstraZeneca, Pfizer and the heads of all the regulatory authorities, that I have done Compliance Assessments on, including MHRA. My strategy is to use the law to end their progress. The Treasury Solicitor has responded to my application for Judicial Review by claiming parliamentary privilege. Presently, I am waiting for a Judge to review the papers and decide whether there is a case to answer and, if he agrees there is, give me "Permission" to proceed.
Autopilot - I have become a controlled digital identity wallet and ceased to be an autonomous individual. This is where the individual disappears only to be replaced by the anonymous collective. It will be our worst nightmare
Within this world would be the perfect tattletale society where all the Karen's can't wait to overhear, snitch, and point at the non-compliant like in the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Law enforcement would become the new social worker bees watching for anything that just might seem out of line. As the Grateful Dead sang so long ago, what a long strange trip it's been. If humans have ever reached a point of waking up to tyranny it is now and if the gadgets continue to make us all sleep, we will wind up only hearing the scream of the butterfly forevermore.
Regarding automation and clearing of transactions and the global economy
**The internet becomes the bank**
As agents arrive en masse, and more commerce happens automatically in the background rather than through user clicks, the way money—value!—moves needs to change.
In a world where systems act on intent instead of on step-by-step instructions—moving money because an AI agent recognized a need, fulfilled an obligation, or triggered an outcome—value has to travel as fast and freely as information does today. This is where blockchains, smart contracts, and new protocols come in.
A smart contract can already settle a dollar payment globally in seconds. But, in 2026, emerging primitives like $x 402$ make that settlement programmable and reactive: Agents paying each other for data, GPU time, or API calls instantly and permissionlessly—without invoicing, reconciling, or batching. Developers shipping software updates that come bundled with built-in payment rules, limits, and audit trails—without fiat integrations, merchant onboarding, or banks. Prediction markets that self-settle in real time as events unfold—where odds update, agents trade, and payouts clear globally in seconds... without a custodian or exchange.
Once value can move this way, the "payment flow" stops being a separate operational layer and becomes a network behavior: Banks become part of the internet's basic plumbing, assets become infrastructure. If money becomes a packet the internet can route, then the internet doesn't just support the financial system... it becomes the financial system.
