Now that everything so obviously resembles a mix of Orwell’s 1984 and Alice’s ‘wonderland’, one might remember two key tests:
1) follow the money;
2) cui bono, who benefits?
There’s no need for any hidden ‘conspiracy’ when particular sectors of a society seek the same goals.

One good thing to have come out of the appalling tragedies of recent years is that the scale of the elites' self-serving corruption, nepotism, hypocrisy and criminality has been well and truly exposed. It won’t be put back in the box, however much they seek to control everything.

Starvation has long been a favoured weapon of colonial subjugation and land theft, as any history student should know. British rulers have been masters at that game for centuries.

Isn't modernity wonderful?
As we ponder this, here's something written in 1668 by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen.
"Won’t all those different holy men stir up their congregations with their various faiths and manufacture another war?"

The Telegraph slammed the BBC for “championing” Bob Vylan….
But the Telegraph forgot to mention it gave Bob Vylan a glowing four-star review last year and trumpeted that they “had somehow established a mood of feel-good catharsis."

Israel has issued a sanctions list targeting 50 individuals. At the top are Chairman Dyab Abou Jahjah and co-founders Karim Hassoun and Haroon Raza, followed by three lawyers who have worked with the HRF. This escalation is not coincidental. Israel is worried; our legal work is having real impact.

Thanks, can the money be spent on those who need it, rather than on the eternal warmongers and their people-shredding devices and schemes?
Just asking.
