THE HERITAGE OF SERCO

John Harris at The Guardian has written a criticism of Serco, the corporation that is by stealth trying to run the whole world by somehow being awarded contract after contract to run privatised services. To me one of the most disturbing contracts awarded to Serco is for the provision of palliative care.

When Serco made its bid to run NHS community-health services in Suffolk – district nursing, physiotherapy, OT, end-of-life palliative care, wheelchair services – it reckoned it could do it for £140m over three years – £16m less than the existing NHS "provider" had managed, which would eventually allow for their standard profit margin of around 6% a year. When it started to become clear that Serco was the frontrunner, there was some opposition, but perhaps not nearly enough. "Suffolk isn't the most politically active part of the country," says one local insider. "And the staff were very lackadaisical. It was: 'NHS Suffolk wouldn't made a bad decision.' So it was hard to get a campaign going."

Serco was officially awarded the contract in October 2012, which meant that hundreds of staff would leave the NHS, and become company employees. Within weeks, the company proposed a huge reorganisation, which involved getting rid of one in six jobs. This has since come down to one in seven, two thirds of which will apparently go via natural wastage. In terms of their pay and conditions, the hundreds of people who have been transferred from the NHS to Serco are protected by provisions laid down by the last government, but it is already becoming clear that many new staff are on inferior contracts: as one local source puts it, "they've got less annual leave, less sick pay … it's significantly worse."

But who are Serco?

Harris states that Serco was created in 1929 as a branch of Radio Corporation of America (RCA), but delves no further into the dark and disturbing history of Serco.

So who are RCA?

According to Wikipedia, RCA was a subsidiary of General Electric, and was given the monopoly over long distance radio communications with the agreement of the US Navy and US War Department after World War 1. So here we see a direct link between Serco and the US military intelligence apparatus. Once something like RCA is set up with the full backing of the US Navy and US War Department that backing is never withdrawn.

But it gets worse.

Who are General Electric, who created RCA who created Serco?

General Electric was formed by the merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson- Houston Electric Company. This merger was engineered by JP Morgan. This merger gave Morgan an effective monopoly over yet another industry.

So who was JP Morgan?

Morgan was the Rothschild's man in the United States.

But it gets even worse.

With Morgan behind it, General Electric was awarded, like Serco, contract after contract from governments, but in particular from the Soviet Union. GE also had significant business with the Nazis. For further details see Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, and Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, written by perhaps the greatest and most important historian who has ever lived, Professor Antony Cyril Sutton.

In summary, Serco has a heritage that lies in the military-industrial complex that cares for only one thing, money.

so I say, SACK SERCO!
