The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

Know the truth.

Guys, Trump doesn’t care about Christians in Africa and it’s not really about the Nigerian oil.

It’s the rare earth minerals.

Nigeria has exploded in rare earth mineral production in the last couple of years. In fact, it is the number five rare earth mineral producer on the planet.

Proscribe Labour Friends of Israel. It is an undemocratic and unaccountable lobby organisation entrenched in The Labour Party. It represents the interests of a foreign state to sway Labour Party and UK government policy.

In the sixth largest economy, millions of Britons rely on food banks.

No curbs on profiteering. Energy prices up 44% since 2021-22.

Thousands of people can't afford heating, rely on community ‘warm spaces’.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts appease the rich.

Poorest Britons lose right to financial privacy.

The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025 empowers the state to 24/7 snoop on the bank accounts of recipients of universal credit; employment and support allowance; state pension credit.

No court order needed. No right of appeal.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

Immigration is the trojan horse Farage uses to get people to vote against their own best interests.

His real agenda for leaving the ECHR ⬇️

It would be very difficult/impossible to deliver a trumpian hellscape in the UK while we have the ECHR protecting us.
Outside it, we are well & truly fair game.

Which is why billionaire disaster capitalists & asset strippers are flocking to Farage.

In the 1950s, hundreds of thousands of Jews lived in Iraq. Mossad carried out bombings in Jewish neighborhoods and blamed local Arabs, creating fear to force migration to Israel.

Jewish historian Prof. Avi Shlaim has documented this.
