I'm not talking about "space jews" or conspiracy theories, I'm talking about global political reality, where in a capitalist system, sovereignty does not reside in the people, but in the interests of multinationals and banks, which use governments and the media as spokespersons.
All current governments, regardless of what label they put on, be it democracy, communist or fascist dictatorships, are led by leaders who obey the dictates of the "market" and their own interests, only leaving the illusion of more or less freedom to the citizen.
These relationships precisely after the pandemic crisis and the current crisis over the war in Ukraine and climate change have become more than evident, when all the governments of the world have to recognize the energy, environmental and economic dependencies whose problems were denounced. for more than a century by scientists and citizens and systematically ignored by the influence of certain lobbies, politicians and related media.
For example, the company EXXON in internal investigations already knew in the 80s the influence of CO2 from the combustion of oil and coal products, on global warming and the rise in sea level, but not to publish it, but for internal calculations to know when they have to lengthen the pillars of their offshore oil platforms. THAT is the fuck, they piss in our faces making us believe it's raining.
