Is Keir Starmer a deep state operative?

 Scandal-ridden Keir Starmer is a suspected deep state operative who as Director of Public Prosecutions failed to prosecute notorious paedophile Jimmy Savile but pressed on with charges against Julian Assange.

He is also suspected of being an alcoholic who uses the services of “male models.”

In 2026, several countries began blocking Wikispooks’ IP address. “Possibly someone doesn’t want you to know who “flew the plane,” who was in Jeffrey Epstein’s Black book or the identities of the 200+ Bilderbergers who were busy with covid,” Wikispooks says.

If you are in one of the countries that have blocked Wikispooks’ site, you can access it via a VPN or the Tor browser. The UK has blocked access to Wikispooks. For those who are in countries that are unable to access Wikispooks and don’t use a VPN or the Tor Browser, we have reproduced the Wikispooks page on the UK’s deep state below.

“It remains my belief that Starmer has always been a deep state operative and that he is deliberately driving the Labour Party to its own destruction. Among the strongest evidence for this, in my view, is the fact that all of the documentation on his involvement in the Assange case, the Savile case, the Janner case and other high-level paedophile cases while he was Director of Public Prosecutions was allegedly destroyed by the state while the Conservatives were in office and Starmer in opposition. The Deep State was protecting him and preparing his way to power.”—Craig Murray (5 May 2025) ...<<<Read More>>>...

The UK deep state is real; it conspires to benefit global oligarchs at the expense of the public

 The deep state, which includes secretive think tanks such as Le Cercle, exercises significant control over UK government policy decisions, often through mechanisms like lobbying and party funding, to maintain their power and wealth.

In the past, Dominic Cummings, former chief advisor to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, revealed that the deep state, a hybrid of public and private institutions, holds significant power and influence over government decisions.

And, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has revealed that institutions like the Bank of England and the Office of Budget Responsibility hold significant power and are influenced by private interests.

In the following, Iain Davis explains – by using the example of some mainstream alternative media and Rory Stewart, one of the UK’s deepest of deep state actors and a former chairman of Le Cercle – how deep state actors let out a little bit of the truth but only to then use it to throw the public off their scent.

Stewart, for example, acknowledged that politics is based on lies and that politicians often have no real power, but then claimed that the real power is so diffused it barely functions. The real power is not diffused as Stewart claims; as proved by government policies which consistently benefit the global oligarchs at the expense of the general population....<<<Read More>>>...

How the Deep State Went Viral

 What if the pandemic response was run by national security agencies according to a biodefence and counterterrorism playbook, rather than by public health agencies according to public health guidelines? That is the question at the core of my new book The Deep State Goes Viral: Pandemic Planning and the Covid Coup (published by the Brownstone Institute).

The ramifications of the research and analysis in the book extend far beyond the Covid pandemic response, exposing global trends that increasingly affect our everyday lives. This book is not about an event that happened in the past. It is about the shape of what’s to come – unless we wake up and stop it.

Here are excerpts from the introduction to the book.

I’m lucky to be a pretty panic-proof type of person, so back at the beginning of 2020 I was not afraid. I did not think the virus posed a mortal threat to myself or my family. I knew it affected mostly elderly people with serious ailments. I also knew that there was never a pathogen in recorded history that was so transmissible and so deadly that it required locking down the entire world. And I found no evidence that the Wuhan virus, as it was called at the time, was such a pathogen.

Yet everyone else around me seemed to have completely lost their minds, first and foremost the media and public health experts. Instead of calming the public down and advocating common sense measures, they started screaming about ‘flattening the curve’, masking, social distancing and the necessity of depriving children of education and socialisation to ‘protect grandma’. Then they started bulldozing all of society into supporting not just untested and unregulated gene-based vaccines, but also coercive mandates of those vaccines.

It was utter madness....<<<Read More>>>...

The Rise of the Immortal Dictator: What Will AI Mean for Freedom and Government?

 The Deep State is about to go turbocharged.

While the news media fixates on the extent to which Project 2025 may be the Trump Administration’s playbook for locking down the nation, there is a more subversive power play taking place under cover of Trump’s unique brand of circus politics.

Take a closer look at what’s unfolding, and you will find that all appearances to the contrary, Trump isn’t planning to do away with the Deep State. Rather, he was hired by the Deep State to usher in the golden age of AI.

Get ready for Surveillance State 2.0.

To achieve this turbocharged surveillance state, the government is turning to its most powerful weapon yet: artificial intelligence. AI, with its ability to learn, adapt, and operate at speeds unimaginable to humans, is poised to become the engine of this new world order.

Over the course of 70 years, the technology has developed so rapidly that it has gone from early computers exhibiting a primitive form of artificial intelligence to machine learning (AI systems that learn from historic data) to deep learning (machine learning that mimics the human brain) to generative AI, which can create original content, i.e., it appears able to think for itself.

What we are approaching is the point of no return.

In tech speak, this point of no return is more aptly termed “singularity,” the point at which AI eclipses its human handlers and becomes all-powerful. Elon Musk has predicted that singularity could happen by 2026. AI scientist Ray Kurzweil imagines it happening it closer to 2045.

While the scientific community has a lot to say about the world-altering impact of artificial intelligence on every aspect of our lives, little has been said about its growing role in government and its oppressive effect on our freedoms, especially “the core democratic principles of privacy, autonomy, equality, the political process, and the rule of law.”...<<<Read More>>>....

This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution

 This is how it begins.

This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security.

Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constitution, at least for select segments of the population. A hierarchy of rights, contingent on whether you belong to a favored political class.

This is what you can expect in the not-so-distant future.

Once you allow the government to overreach the restraints imposed  by the Constitution, no matter what that threat might be, it will be that much harder to restrain it again, no matter which party is at the helm.

We’ve seen this played out time and again.

Some years ago, for instance, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board suggested that government officials should mandate mass vaccinations and deploy the National Guard “to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere.”

In other words, they wanted the government to use the military to round up and lock up the unvaccinated in concentration camps.

That didn’t happen, but it so easily could have.

Now the script has been flipped, and it’s the soon-to-be Trump Administration promising to use the military to round up and lock up undesirables in concentration camps.

At this moment in time, those so-called “undesirables” are illegal immigrants, but given what we know about the government and its expansive definition of what constitutes a threat to its power, any one of us could be next up in the police state’s crosshairs.

Once you give the government a taste of that kind of power—to disregard the Constitution, even for a day; to use the military for domestic policing; to rely on mass deportations and concentration camps in order to sidestep due process procedures—it won’t be so easy to rein it in when it runs amok.

And it will run amok.

You don’t have to be an illegal immigrant or a conspiracy theorist or even anti-government to be worried about what lies ahead. You just have to recognize the truth in the warning: power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This is why significant numbers of people are worried: because this is the slippery slope that starts with supposedly well-meaning intentions for the greater good and ends with tyrannical abuses no one should tolerate....<<<Read More>>>...

Trump releases “single most important video on the internet today” about how to rid world of deep state tyranny

Time is up for the deep state cartel as President-elect Donald Trump hits the ground running with a bold America First plan.

The inauguration is still a few months away, but Trump released the video below, outlining what he plans to do starting on Day One of his second term.

"I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people," Trump promises.

One of Trump's first orders of business on Jan. 20, 2025, is to re-issue a 2020 executive order allowing the president, in this case Trump, to fire all rogue bureaucrats from government who are insubordinate to the new administration and its plans for America, which American voters overwhelmingly voted in favor of installing on Election Day...<<<Read More>>>...

The Danger Is Real: The Deep State’s Plot to Destabilize the Nation Is Working

 If the three-ring circus that is the looming presidential election proves anything, it is that the Deep State’s plot to destabilize the nation is working.

The danger is real.

Caught up in the heavily dramatized electoral showdown between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Americans have become oblivious to the multitude of ways in which the government is goosestepping all over our freedoms on a daily basis.

Especially alarming is the extent to which those on both sides are allowing themselves to be gaslighted by both Trump and Harris about critical issues of the day, selectively choosing to hear only what they want to hear when it casts the opposition in a negative light.

This is true whether you’re talking about immigration and border control, health care, national security, the nation’s endless wars, protections for free speech, or the militarization of the U.S. government.

For starters, there’s the free speech double standard, what my good friend Nat Hentoff used to refer to as the “free speech for me but not for thee” phenomenon in which the First Amendment’s protections only apply to those with whom we might agree.

Despite her claims to being a champion for the rule of law, which in our case is the U.S. Constitution, Harris isn’t averse to policing so-called “hate” speech. In this, Harris is not unlike those on both the Right and the Left who continue to express a distaste for unregulated, free speech online, especially when it comes to speech with which they might disagree.

Then there’s Trump, never a fan of free speech protections for his critics, who has been particularly vocal about his desire to see the military vanquish “radical left lunatics,” which he has dubbed “the enemy from within.”

If it were only about muzzling free speech activities, that would be concerning enough.

But Trump’s enthusiasm for using the military to target domestic enemies of the state should send off warning bells, especially coinciding as it does with the Department of Defense’s recent re-issuance of Directive 5240.01, which empowers the military to assist law enforcement “in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated.”

This is what martial law looks like—a government of force that relies on the military to enforce its authority—and it’s exactly what America’s founders feared, which is why they opted for a republic bound by the rule of law: the U.S. Constitution.

Responding to concerns that the military would be used for domestic policing, Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act in 1878, which makes it a crime for the government to use the military to carry out arrests, searches, seizure of evidence and other activities normally handled by a civilian police force.

The increasing militarization of the police, the use of sophisticated weaponry against Americans and the government’s increasing tendency to employ military personnel domestically have all but eviscerated historic prohibitions such as the Posse Comitatus Act.

Yet sometime over the course of the past 240-plus years that constitutional republic has been transformed into a military dictatorship disguised as a democracy.

Unfortunately, most Americans seem relatively untroubled by the fact that our constitutional republic is being transformed into a military dictatorship disguised as a democracy.

The seeds of chaos that have been sown in recent years are all part of the Deep State’s plans to usher in martial law.

Observe for yourself what has been happening right before our eyes....<<<Read More>>>...

Globalists throwing everything they have into trying to silence free speech worldwide (but it won’t work)

 The entire world is under attack by a deep state cabal that is trying to outlaw free speech in every country on the planet.

Newly obtained documents from America First Legal (AFL) show that the Biden-Harris regime is at the top of the global censorship pyramid, as is the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) in the United Kingdom.

In essence, the governments of both the U.S. and the UK, both of which are deep state, have been colluding with very powerful non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), as well as with NATO and the G7, to criminalize all forms of dissent against their agenda.

"The DCMS led-Counter [sic] Disinformation Unit works across Departmental boundaries and is mandated to provide the most comprehensive picture possible about the extent, scope and impact of disinformation during times of heightened risk by bringing all the relevant information into one place," the documents explain.

"We've previously stood up an operational response to counter disinformation during the 2019 European elections, the 2019 UK General Election, and the local and devolved UK elections in May of this year. We've been stood up since March last year in response to Covid-19."...,<<<Read More>>>...

They’ve selected Kamala and this is their plan

 The Powers That Be/Deep State have gone to Plan B, since Plan A was a dementia ridden, pants shitting, child sniffing, corrupt, global embarrassment. Everybody knows Kamala Harris is an extremely unlikable, vacuous, commie, diversity shill, Obama puppet. She couldn’t get above 2% support in the 2020 Democrat primaries and had the lowest popularity rating of any VP in history, because she is an honest to goodness moron. She was selected because she can read a teleprompter better than the shuffling cadaver in the White House. Every time she is stumped by a question, she cackles like a hyena, so she cackles a lot. 

She hasn’t had an original thought or idea in her entire worthless, sleeping up the ladder, life. But, suddenly she is the toast of the town and the regime media has gone into full propaganda mode to elevatRShe hasn’t had an original thought or idea in her entire worthless, sleeping up the ladder, life. But, suddenly she is the toast of the town and the regime media has gone into full propaganda mode to elevate her as the joyful diversity queen who will lead us to the promised land. It is beyond laughable, but have you observed the ignorant masses and their immense gullibility and lack of critical thinking skills? The Deep State engineers have, and they know they can place her in the oval office....<<<Read More>>>...

The U.S. deep state's policy - Kill them all and let God sort them out

 The United States of America has been taken over by an elite mafia capable of anything and everything. Today, it seems as if killing has become the key to our leadership's domestic and foreign policy.

The recent attempt on Donald Trump's life, and accusations the U.S. is backing attempts to kill Russia's Vladimir Putin, are two prime examples of someone, or a group of someone(s) who have sanctioned murdering any opposition.

When the U.S. Secret Service detail surrounding former President Donald Trump huddled to cover the wounded candidate, the world watched an unbelievable drama unfold. Some claim the service dedicated to protecting presidents purposely allowed 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks a window for killing Trump. Most reading this will have read the stories and seen the memes about a pimple-faced assassin climbing a ladder with an assault rifle, in broad daylight, to a roof only 147 yards from his target.

Crooks, who still remains a sort of enigma, took aim and fired at a man who should have been covered by a swarm of agents, an assault team, a sniper team, and an air component. Trump's team has repeatedly requested additional resources and has been denied on all counts. As of this writing, a swirl of information about the shooter and Trump's protection team reveals what would at first glance seem a comedy of errors. Now reports say three local police snipers were in the building and saw Crooks rummaging about carrying a rangefinder used by bench rest shooters and military snipers. There's a novel to be written there, so let's move away from the Trump fiasco and on to another Joe Biden Secret Service fandango....<<<Read More>>>...

Who is “they”?

 The number one question consistently circulating social media and infuriating the minds of millions is, “who is they?” Not “who are they,” but “who is they” as though “they” is a single force operating as one. Whereas “they” often do operate as a single force, there are many individuals and players involved. People want to know who is behind the money, power, control, narratives, and destruction of the world – the constant wars, manufactured inflation, attack on the food system and agriculture, big pharma and medical madness, constant surveillance, AI and transhumanism, the entire financial system, and so on. It’s not limited to one or even ten countries – it is a global agenda that goes back centuries and even the most brilliant researchers, historians, and investigators can’t name every person involved at the top of this hierarchy. However, there are thousands that can be named, and most everyone has acknowledged the fact that it is a very small percent attempting to rule the world under their “new world order.”

There are several terms people use to reference these bad actors, such as the “deep state,” “global cabal,” “illuminati” and “shadow government.” The individuals orchestrating this attempted global takeover operate covertly within the government to alter public policies and laws while shaping culture and narratives. More recently, many of these bad actors no longer operate covertly – it’s more an in-your-face style these days. They are all in, desperately trying to cull the masses through their playbook, and although they would seem to have a plan a, b, and c for every agenda, people are fighting back and seeing through their manipulation tactics. It’s true that it is creating quite a field of cognitive dissonance, but with each month that passes, more and more people are becoming aware of the game being played on humanity, and they refuse to tolerate it.

This is the Great Con and they can only pull it off if you believe in it, if you fall for it, if you accept they have power over you, and you allow yourself to become the obedient slave they want you to. That is the biggest dose of truth. They need everyone to believe they are the authority, they have your best interest at heart, and what they are telling you is truthful. They want you to feel powerless and dependent on them. That is their biggest hurdle and that is what you should never give into...<<<Read More>>>...

DEEP STATE: Crimes Against Humanity!

 Crimes against humanity refer to specific crimes committed in the context of a large-scale attack targeting civilians, regardless of their nationality. These crimes include murder, torture, sexual violence, enslavement, persecution, enforced disappearance, etc.

Crimes against humanity have often been committed as part of State policies, but they can also be perpetrated by non-State armed groups or paramilitary forces. Unlike war crimes, crime against humanity can also be committed in peacetime, and contrary to genocide, they are not necessarily committed against a specific national, ethnical, racial or religious group.

Crimes against humanity appeared for the first time in a treaty in the 1945 Nuremberg Charter at the end of the Second World War, albeit with a different definition than today.

Since the 1990s, crimes against humanity have been codified in different international treaties such as the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (1993), the Statute of the International Tribunal for Rwanda (1994) and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998). The Rome Statute provides the most recent and most expansive list of specific criminal acts that may constitute crimes against humanity.

Unlike other human rights violations, war crimes do not engage State responsibility but individual criminal responsibility. This means that individuals can be tried and found personally responsible for these crimes....<<<Read More>>>...

UNITED STATES OF TERROR – Do You Believe that the Corrupt U.S Government & CCP China are Enemies?

 They are and have been close allies for over 50 years. After Mao Tse Tung, Kissinger traveled to Beijing to open relations with the CCP.

George W Bush aka NAZI SS SHERFF also traveled to China to open international markets. The 2001 attacks were the Pearl Harbor event needed to implement plans for a new America. It was the catalyst for the Patriot Act, which is used today to attack American patriots. It was a way to hide trillions of missing dollars.

On 09/10/2021 Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon was missing $2.3 trillion. The next day (9/11/2001) the Pentagon’s financial offices were hit and completely destroyed. The markets were closed for 2 weeks.

Banks across the country have been shut down and the lost $2.3 trillion forgotten. There are facts and the evidence that the destruction of the Twin Towers was a series of controlled demolitions. The destruction of the towers was never investigated, instead the debris was shipped to China. On December 11 of the same year, China became a member of the WTO (World Trade Organization).

Millions of Americans lost their jobs as many factories were outsourced to China. Fast forward to today’s events.

The U.S government worked with the Chinese to weaponize Covid-19 and further destabilize the American economy with enforced lockdowns and experimental vaccines that are still killing people, including children. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has released a desperately fake JOb report that says over 500,000.00 new jobs have been created. In reality it was maybe 80,000. The real estate market has collapsed. 41% of small businesses can no longer meet their obligations.

The US debt is at $31 trillion. The FED is cornered and the US government needs another 9/11....<<<Read More>>>...

BREAKING NEWS: Joint Committee on National Security Strategy Warns that a MASSIVE CYBERATTACK is Set to Imminently Paralyze the United Kingdom

The Joint Committee on National Security Strategy has sounded the alarm, cautioning that the United Kingdom is on the brink of a devastating cyber onslaught that could cripple the nation. The threat, labeled as “EXTREME” by cybersecurity experts, has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power, with concerns growing over the government’s apparent lack of preparedness and investment.

According to the Parliamentary Committee and the National Cyber Security Centre, the looming cyberattack is not a distant possibility but an imminent danger that could strike at any moment. The dire warning points to a perfect storm of poor planning and insufficient investment in cybersecurity infrastructure, leaving the nation vulnerable to a potential catastrophe.

If the worst-case scenario unfolds, and the impending cyber onslaught paralyzes the United Kingdom, it may well be the result of a carefully orchestrated plan by those within the corridors of power. The administration, already facing accusations of negligence, could find itself at the epicenter of a crisis that threatens the very foundation of the nation’s security.

Whether the impending cyber onslaught is the result of a deep state conspiracy or governmental incompetence remains unclear. What is evident, however, is the urgent need for immediate action to bolster the nation’s cybersecurity defenses. The time for political posturing is over; the safety and security of the United Kingdom demand swift and decisive measures.

In the face of uncertainty, citizens must remain vigilant, holding their leaders accountable for the choices that led to this perilous moment. The destiny of the nation hangs in the balance, and only through collective action and a commitment to safeguarding our digital future can the United Kingdom hope to emerge unscathed from the looming cyber storm....<<<Read More>>>...

Deep State: Examining the Hidden Hands that Guide World Events

Life-changing events are a frequent occurrence in politics and economics. Recent examples include the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963, the events of 11 September 2001 (9/11), COVID-19 (which began in the eponymous year), and the Global Financial Crisis (2007-08).

Some events are accidents. Others arise from systemic factors. But, on occasion, hidden manipulators known as the “Deep State” are to blame.

After looking at cases of political interference, such as the soft coup against Australia’s Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in the 1970s, this article considers two examples of Deep State events: the clandestine “Gladio” networks set up across Europe after World War II (1939-45) and the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York, which triggered a “global war on terror” in which most of the nations of the world participated.

These are known to researchers as “Deep State” events. They are contrived and covered up by agents of the security apparatus and dismissed by mainstream media as baseless conspiracy theory....<<<Read More>>>...

What is the Supranational Deep State and What Does it Do?

 “The Supranational Deep State (“SDS”), The Deep State for short, or sometimes just ‘they’, is the alliance of formerly distinct deep states which coalesced in the second half of the 20th century, and which were demonstrably working as a coherent whole in time for the 9-11 cover-up.

What Next - What Will The Deep State Do Next?

Tonight, we attempt to glean insights into what the satanic deep state are likely to do next. What is their next move? Are they on track with their agenda, or have they been knocked off track?

There's clearly an opening statement in the insights that forewarn that it is not safe to become complacent. Something is afoot; they are trying to lull us into a false state of security. The prison doors are open and they are permitting the prisoners an exercise period. Plus, they are interested in seeing what happens to those foolish enough to have the mRNA gene therapy shots. Its there in the centre of the image - Graphene Oxide structures being formed within the hapless and the unaware. 

Things are heading into another period of extreme fear and restrictions. Sadly. The Satanic ones are still pushing their agenda even they know they have been exposed and discovered. Their hatred for mankind and other forms of life drive them on. The will put up a fight right to the very end. 

So sadly they proceed with their agenda, even though it is likely they know it will not be achieved. They are backed into a cul-de-sac and just keep going. There is some kind of new variant on its way ... Duality is the suggestion for that and it will hit the 'vaxxed' the hardest. Haven indicates more lockdowns ... but it will all be strongly opposed more than ever ...

The empire of lies breaks down: Ugly truths the deep state wants to keep hidden

[Natural News]: “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”—Albert Einstein

America is breaking down.

This breakdown—triggered by polarizing circus politics, media-fed mass hysteria, racism, classism, fascism, fear-mongering, political correctness, cultural sanitation, virtue signaling, a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness in the face of growing government corruption and brutality, a growing economic divide that has much of the population struggling to get by, and militarization and militainment (the selling of war and violence as entertainment)—is manifesting itself in madness, mayhem and an utter disregard for the very principles and liberties that have kept us out of the clutches of totalitarianism for so long.

In New York City, for example, a 200-year-old statue of Thomas Jefferson holding the Declaration of Independence will be removed from the City Council’s chambers where it has presided since 1915. Despite Jefferson’s many significant accomplishments, without which we might not have the rights we do today, he will be banished for having been, like many of his day, a slaveowner. Curiously, that same brutal expectation of infallibility has yet to be applied to many other politically correct yet equally imperfect and fallible role models of the day....<<<Read More>>>....

Finding Meaning Under A Meaningless System

[Waking Times]: How many of people’s mental health diagnoses are really just them struggling to function in a capitalist system that is amoral, destructive, overwhelming, overbearing, unsatisfying, and bereft of meaning?

It’s surely one of the most under-examined questions in the field of modern psychology. People in general and researchers in particular all too rarely think to take a step back from the data they are looking at and consider the large-scale framework within which that data is materializing, and to consider whether there’s anything about that particular framework which is giving rise to the particular data sets they are seeing.

How many of the mental health diagnoses given out are really just people not coping well under capitalism? It’s worth looking into. How many people end up consulting with mental health professionals because they find themselves psychologically unable to keep up with the frenetic corporate pace that’s demanded of them in order to “earn a living”? Or earlier on as children because they are unable to successfully navigate the capitalism boot camp known as school? How many people are given diagnoses, and corresponding bottles of pills, simply because they can’t march to the beat of the capitalist drum?

Beyond that, how many people are pushed into mental illness by the madness of our current system? How many people suffer from very real depression or anxiety arising from the pressure to keep churning out pieces of future landfill in meaningless jobs which serve no purpose other than to turn millionaires into billionaires? How many people simply collapse under the weight of financial insecurity, food insecurity, housing insecurity, employment and insurance insecurity, combined with the effects of desperate attempts to self-medicate the stress?

How many of these stressors are exacerbated by being psychologically pummelled with mass media propaganda day in and day out, artificially twisting your mind into the belief that this is all normal, and that if you can’t keep up, you’re the problem? Telling you that it’s fine and normal for there to be billionaires and empty investment properties while you struggle to keep a roof over your head? Telling you it’s fine and normal for wealth and resources to go toward murdering strangers overseas while you’re forced to choose between medicine and groceries?

And by the capitalism propaganda known as advertising? How is our psychological health affected by a nonstop barrage of corporate messaging informing us that we are deficient, and that there are things we lack which we must obtain in order to become whole? That we’re not beautiful enough, not skinny enough, not fashionable enough, not affluent enough, that we don’t own enough of the top-line items which only the well-off can afford?...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
