The face of hypocrisy in all its glory

  The face of hypocrisy in all its glory IRINA SLAV I was planning to shred some recent reports about fun stuff like green job subsidies and keeping oil in the ground but last night I finally got to watch a game from Euro 24 and my plan changed. The reason it changed was that in that game, or rather, the advertising around the pitch, the face of hypocrisy showed itself in all its glory. Now, you might argue that we see that face on a daily basis in every Euractiv report, in every “Europe” section news story on Reuters and other corporate media, but I guess that those ads around the pitch were the last straw. So, as I watched ten German citizens of foreign descent in rather odd purple shirts chase ten Hungarians back and forth, I couldn’t help but notice most of the ads were for companies such as Hisense, Aliexpress, Alicom, BYD, Vivo and some digital wallet or something that Google told me was an Alibaba business. Five of the thirteen Euro 24 official sponsors, in other words, are Chin

  The New Normal Left CJ Hopkins So, I went to London to speak to the Left … no, not “the Left” you’re probably thinking of. Not the mask-wearing, Ukrainian-flag-flying Left. Not the pronoun-using, segregationist Left. Not the WEF, WHO, FBI, CIA, DHS, and MI6-loving Left. Not the global-capitalist New Normal Left. The other Left. The old-school Left.

Yes, Islington, which is more or less the British headquarters of the New Normal Left. We did not care. “Let them come for us,” we said. They didn’t. It was a Saturday. They were probably out shopping or hunting down imaginary anti-Semites. So, we went ahead and did our thing. Our “thing” was a conference loosely based on leftist opposition to the WEF and its assorted dystopian visions for our future … you know, eating the bugs, owning nothing, being happy, that kind

Confirmed - Democracy in the West is Dead - Brexit Britain Re-leashed Question no 1 - Where was Hunt? NE - nakedemperor.substack.com Before I begin, have this question in the back of your mind the whole time - where was Hunt? In 2016, the UK voted to leave the EU. It was a tight vote with 48% voting to remain. Whatever you thought of the result or however you voted, there is no denying that it was a shock to the Establishment. Like Trump’s victory, they weren’t expecting it and consequently anyone who voted for Brexit was either stupid, racist or lied to (often by the Russians). As I say, the Establishment hated the fact the UK was leaving the EU. It slowed down their globalisation plans and left the US without a poodle to strongly influence policy within Brussels. A mild form of mental illness took hold - Brexit Derangement Syndrome (BDS). This meant that anything bad that happened in the UK was because of Brexit and anything good due to the kindness of the EU. Gas prices in the UK ri
