We don’t talk nearly enough about the fact that wealthy and powerful people are constantly pouring vast fortunes into manipulating the way we perceive our world and that this is the ultimate source of all our major problems.
Democracy is a meaningless concept when the primary factor in determining how votes will be cast is the wealth that plutocrats have poured into mass-scale media psyops to manipulate public perception of reality.
People babble about “freedom” in a society where almost everyone’s mind is in a cage built by the powerful. Caged birds singing that they can do whatever they want inside their cage.

Covid could just as easily have been used to transfer wealth downward as upward. The only reason wealth has shifted to the wealthiest among us instead of the most needful is because we have systems in place which allow money to translate to political influence and policy making.
Without such vast wealth inequality the public would have the money to crowdfund their own political campaigns, legislative initiatives and media outlets. That’s why the rich actively work to keep others poor. It’s not so they can buy one more private jet, it’s to maintain power.
Because money is power and power is relative, the plutocrats have a natural incentive to use their financial clout to shape things so the majority remains poor. We have a system which makes you king if you’re richer than the masses; if everyone’s king then no one is king.

Honest people rarely reach the pinnacles of power. We have to go back a long way to find some. Holyoake, his successor who wrote childrens’ books, whose name I forget, and Lange, fat and happy, who was simply too innumerate to cook the books.

Muldoon is memorable only for dragging NZ politics into the gutter from which it is yet to fully emerge. Ardern is doing nothing to help. Indeed much less than nothing.

“Caitlin Johnson’ media is a source of right alt propaganda(the memes she sells are anti American, pro Russian,” free CIA agent Assange” pro NWO aka anti capitalism( when we dont have capitalism we have central banking an eocnomic and political monopoly for the reset so its rather ironic.
The media like CJ is also trying to distract the public’s minds( more are knowing covid is a big lie, just a psyop for re set control)
Public Un -rest by directing them to Afghanistan( like she is doing)
No one forces you to read or believe any of these these govts -media propaganda (memes) .
Be aware of the controlled opposition propaganda.

Not following the rabbit of understanding down the trail of reason. That takes time, not jumping ton conclusions in rants.
