The emperor is now well and truly naked!

The world is now seeing how we are manipulated to see what they want us to see. Who THEY decide are the “enemy” and who isn’t. When most of the world is watching, and not agreeing, they highlight themselves. #hypocrisy #warcrimes #humanrights

BREAKING: @equinor CEO confronted over aggressive oil & gas expansion across the world.

Last year, they made £29 billion in profits. They roll in their cash, while the rest of the world burns.

This is inconceivable greed.

➡️ SEZs are small individual states within a state
➡️ 74 spread across England, #Scotland and Wales
➡️ 12 freeports
➡️ Biggest one is 75km in diameter
➡️ They create their own employment law
➡️ They have their own tax system
➡️ Each SEZ has private laws run by corporations

➡️ The EU has these but these are regulated to stop corporations from making profits and sending that money offshore, without contributing any of the profit to the running/infrastructure of the SEZ..

Labour’s Mega-Donor South African Gary Lubner is an Israel Lobbyist has donated £5 million to Labour for the upcoming GE.
Lubner was horrified over Corbyn's leadership, declaring that Stamer had removed the 'cancer of anti-semitism' from the party.
Lubner's family firm PG Group were an important backer of South Africa's apartheid regime.
Gary Lubner's son Jack is a member of the Israeli Embassy funded Union of Jewish Students, and is now the Chair of Young #Labour.

https://youtu.be/uWCO3NqGrdg?feature=shared

Van Vuuren said of the Lubners that "it was very much in their financial interest" to break the sanctions. "I think absolutely: they profited from apartheid," he said. "They almost certainly provided materials to the military and to various parts of the regime. Gary Lubner stayed in South Africa until the late 1980s, joining PG Group's international arm Belron in London a couple of years later. He was named Belron CEO in 2000 and retired earlier this year. In South Africa, Gary Lubner's father Ronnie and uncle Bertie (who were also his bosses) were sanctions busters for the apartheid regime.
Although Gary Lubner - like many white South Africans - now claims to have been an opponent of apartheid all along, at the time his firm profited handsomely from supporting the regime. In 2017, South African journalists published an investigation - based on archival documents - showing that the Lubners donated to the ruling National Party during the apartheid era.

Could tiny particles hold the key to unlocking the final mysteries of our Universe? #research

“The Universe is made up of numerous fundamental particles – fundamental, meaning, they cannot be broken down any further – the building blocks of reality. You may have heard of some of them: electrons, quarks, photons, bosons, and so on. One of these particles, however, is called a neutrino. And despite my biases, I’d argue they’re the most interesting of them all!”

This isn’t just about the tories. This is about a capitalist system that is set up to control, disadvantage, pillage and oppress. This is about a rigged system and class war of the rich against the working man. #politics #capitalism
