Nearer my coffin than my cot, still trying to make sense of why humans do what they do and when I give up on that, creating a garden fit for wild creatures

1 yes this is an oil war, in the sense that US control of VZ oil means US gets larger share of last few decades of crude oil production on this planet
2 US also gains ability to deny VZ oil to adversaries -Cuba, China etc
3 also. Canada is not the biggest loser, see below bsky.app/profile/did:...

Two paragraphs that get to the absolute heart of what Farage is all about: money and conning people.

Without the bankrolling, he’s a loser. But, if you think he’s on your side, so are you.

So are we all if these murky shits buy him power.
Farage's shtick is to pose as a champion of the working man, fighting against out-of-touch elites and corrupt institutions. But this new research shows the importance of exposing Farage's foundational myth: namely, that Reform isn't a grassroots rebellion; it's a vehicle bankrolled by the financiers who crashed the economy in 2008 and the austerity-obsessed corporate vandals who have profited ever since. When you expose these facts - as this Substack (and all of my work) is dedicated to doing - Farage loses support. When these stories come to people's attention, the Farage fallacy starts to make sense; it becomes palpably obvious that his agenda is dressed up as an anti-establishment crusade while being paid-for by corporate interests.
