About 50 years ago, I wrote a paper on the developments and civil wars in what had been the British colonies on the South/West sides of Saudi Arabia at the end of their colonial era.

The late stage British Empire (and most particularly, the nexus of their secret services/"deep state"/diplomatic service) did some very ugly things in that part of the globe before throwing in the towel. The more things change, the more they stay the same-

Of course the UK is in it to the neck. What does anyone propose to do about it?

Lots of people are proposing lots of things ..look into it and see if any resonate with you. If not, maybe propose your own idea.

Hint: There are way, WAY more of us than there are of them.

How do you solve a problem like the British version of the deep state/banking nexus? Nobody has managed to successfully address the physical symptoms of this problem kinetically since 1066 and even THOSE guys pretty much went native after a generation or two, further exacerbating their neighbors issues.

UK, US, and most Western democracies have been completely infiltrated by IS and Mossad for years. Most Politicians are paid and controlled by Z, however, Truth Always Prevails and exposing these EVIL governments and people is the job of all of us, human beings who stand for humanity, justice and truth. This is great piece as always Kit. Keep exposing, keep talking justice, keep the truth alive. Free Palestine and Free The World From Zionism.

Why is this guy pointing fingers and doing exposés of Britain? It’s the US Empire that is perpetrating crimes all over the world and has since 1945. It’s the US Empire that elected the Cheeto to support oligarchs everywhere. It is the US empire that continues the neoliberal onslaught against immigrants, civil rights, the economy and basic decency throughout the Western world, yet here he is wasting time kicking the dead horse of Britain. Yikes. He’s about as useless as Caitlin Johnstone and I see has all the same pointless followers here as I used to see on her site before she mercifully kicked me off in the name of free speech. Pathetic.

Oh no. The secret lover of Tulsi, Max Blumenthal, is now sounding the alarm? Oi vey.

Nah. She's no captured by the Jewish AIPAC....

US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has just called for other countries to join the US in attacking the Houthis in Yemen, a country she in which she once strongly opposed intervention.

@Paul Haeder

Tulsi accepted her DNI position from a president subservient to AIPAC (like EVERY politician in DC?) & deeply beholden to a Zionist billionaire, thus being politically locked into aiding and abeting the present Israeli leadership.

Tulsi works FOR Trump. Until/unless she were president, her personal views are not policy. Yeah, that sucks.

Guess she shouldn't have accepted then.

It's how one gets sucked in?

Tell yourself it's just a little compromise to get the job you need to implenent your plans now, once I'm re elected, then I'll be able to "do the right things" I want to get done? Yeah, during my second term, nobody will be able to stop me...

Uh yes, especially the most intelligent and talented of us have had many opportunities to sell out and lick the boot-ass combo. We had those little scripts trying to execute in our minds as well.

1. If not me, then someone else will do it and get it wrong.

2. The people need rulers because they'd be lost otherwise.

3. I'll do it better this time.

4. If others had the chance, they'd take the position too (as if others being willing to do something makes it right, aside from the fact that decent people TURN DOWN those offers every day, all the time).

5. I hahhhaaaave to for my family legacehhhHHhh daddy mommy wahhhh

Instead of going with those, we run the KILL command and retain control of our own brains.

Super cute when the obedient look at us and go "Oh you didn't 'make it', so you must not be all that.."

To which we say "Nah, silly goose. We simply said NO to the faustian deal. More than once, in fact. I will take a used car and struggling to buy a house and being looked down on by scumsucking willful-slaves like you any day over actually being like you: pathetic and desperate for validation, incapable of actually *producing* anything of value".

Remember, friends. Not everyone you meet who is of modest means is there because they didn't have other options. They are there because they have INTEGRITY in the upside-down that is the anti-meritocracy.
