What Has Universal Basic Income (UBI) To Do With Covid, War & Tony Blair ? threadsirish I’m going to be very upfront with you, this is not a sexy topic but it is essential to understand in the light of what has been going on for the last 2.5 years. A lot of dots will be joined up by the end. At its most basic.. “A Universal Basic Income (UBI) is where a government pays all individuals a set salary regardless of their means. It guarantees a certain amount of money from the state without any requirement to work” In this article I am not going go dig deep into the economic reasons for it as I am not qualified enough to discuss it from that viewpoint. I will however be looking at the countries implementing it and who are the people behind the scenes pushing for it. In March 2022, The Irish Times called it  ‘A welcome step’: Ireland’s first basic income scheme on the way where  artists will get €250 a week in pilot scheme but many want to see it extended to all. https://www.iri...

The elite are building Megalopolis, where the plebs will eat insects By Lucy Wyatt WE are at war in Europe.

A FB Post That Will No Doubt Be Buried & Get Zero Visibility Russell Blake My response to a political PM I received today: "I find it precious that you still view things in the conditioned manner of red or blue. This is all theater, as anyone paying attention grasps. The entities who own the U.S. are neither dem or republican, just as they are neither white nor black, gay or straight, theist or atheist. They operate the plantation for their profit, power, and control. That's it. All the issues you've been propagandized into caring about quite deeply are as contrived as the cliffhangers in a dime novel. They exist as distractions, to keep you feeling strongly about things that don't matter. Your outrage is a luxury used against you over and over, just as is your patriotism. You exist as chattel for a debt being created by your governors, from international financial syndicates that now are owed everything in your country as collateral for the debt. Exactly as was do...
