Nothing on any major news outlet about The Madleen - the vessel that was carrying humanitarian aid for blockaded Gaza and sailing under a United Kingdom flag when it was forcibly seized by Israeli commandos early this morning. Nothing. As if it was covered by a gag order.
Instead, I get disgusting news that Carney will now ramp up military spending (we are funding the genocide in Gaza). Apparently, under cover of the unreliability of the USA, we will spend more taxpayer money to fund the oligarchs that sell us military equipment.
They don't even try to hide it. The a full 2/3 of the article is about Defence and Security Industries. They are happy. The article mentions closed-door meetings with top industry leaders.
I feel safer already.
And don't worry about taxes! This won't raise them one bit. You can count on services being cut instead.
This is an antisocial plan to increase the upwards redistribution of wealth by being complicit in genocide.
One last red flag. Carney said “The United States is beginning to monetize its hegemony, charging for access to its markets and reducing its relative contribution to our collective security” but we all know they have been doing that since the 80s. Carney is an expert among experts - he knows how ridiculous that statement is. It's not about the truth.
It's about a plausible excuse to give billionaires more money.
Don't fall for it.
Ask questions. Ask why none of the popular networks are featuring what's going on in Gaza. And put pressure on your electeds to ensure the safe return of the activists who were abducted by the Israeli military.
