Who sold us a 20 year war (which you weren't allowed to question) based on bullshit? Who intentionally crashed the economy in 08 and 'lobbied' for taxpayer bailouts? Who sets up think tanks which push for an expansionist NATO policy? The guy from Martin wouldn't do that, would he? Check out the Martyrmade podcast on Ukraine. To say nothing of recent pharmaceutical policies.
Governments are clearly captured by business interests. That's whose interests get represented. Not yours. Regulatory agencies have become agencies of legitimization. It's a scam.
And every time with the propaganda. There's an emergency. Its the terrorists. A financial crisis. A virus. Vladimir fucking Putin. There's a solution, and anyone who questions it at all is morally reprehensible in some way. Meanwhile, the money keeps flowing to the people who set the policies.
Dismiss it as foil hat shit if it's easier but it's clear as day.
The Iraq 20-year war started in 2003. "Weapons of mass destruction" announced George W. Bush. These men were U.S. presidents during the 20-year Vietnam war, Dwight Eisenhower (R), John F. Kennedy (D), Lyndon Johnson (D), Richard Nixon (R), and Gerald Ford (R).
The stage was set for the 2008 economic crash long before it happened. The players were numerous. Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Alan Greenspan were largely responsible for deregulation along with numerous financial CEO and CDOs. Phil Gramm pushed through the Glass-Steagall Act and Bill Clinton signed Gramm's bill into law. Alan Greenspan in a key player in keeping interest rates at rock bottom which fed into the 2008 crash.
Looks like we agree. You posted "Governments are clearly captured by business interests." Money begets power, 'power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Great men and women are almost always bad men and women.
As you probably know, I am not a proponent of 'foil hats' even though my head has no natural protection, me being bald and all. I'll stick with straw or felt hats, thank you.
