offsite link How the Blob ?Works? Fri Feb 28, 2025 09:00 | Ben Pile
If you want a snapshot of how the Blob works, look no further than David Miliband. Once a Labour Minister, now paid ?1m a year running a 'charity' that receives millions from the UK Government. Nice work if you can get it.

The Wokus Dei Cathedral is finally collapsing. Almost overnight, MSNBC's primetime audience fell by a staggering 53%, while CNN's fell by 47%. Suddenly, the West's prestige faith has lost its sheen.

The WHO once aimed to help nations stand on their own two feet, but now it mainly pushes the agendas of the rich and powerful, says Dr David Bell. That's why it cares more about experimental vaccines than basic sanitation.

RUMAILAH OIL FIELDS, IRAQ—The U.S. continued to make progress in its fight against totalitarianism Tuesday, when 137 more oil wells were liberated for democracy. This is satire - or is it? It's funny how comedy and truth can overlap sometimes

"For decades, these oil wells have suffered untold misery under Saddam Hussein's tyrannical rule," said U.S. Commander General Tommy Franks, speaking from southern Iraq's Rumailah oil fields, the site of the liberation. "With this victory, these long-oppressed wells will soon pump their first barrels of crude as free and equal wells in the global petroleum marketplace. They will join the ranks of the world's liberated oil wells, enjoying the same rights as their democratic brethren around the globe."

The dogs on the street know this wars about oil and you're acting like its some kind of conspiracy?! Like you're somehow special because you 'know whats really going on'.
Even if the America planned to steal the oil (but they wont they pay for it, look at Saudi Arabia) it still would'nt change the moral outcome of this war which is a regime overthrown. To oppose the war on the grounds of imperialism, is by logical implication, to prolong the rule of a dictator even if those are you're beliefs, it would be the direct result if they had been listened to.

How would not going to war increased peace and justice in Iraq?

I read the post a few times, I didn't notice any conspiracy revealing in there, you sure you're not using the usual "you're stoopid" pro war argument by mistake?

its a satirical magazine - that's right, SATIRE, as in irony and sarcasm. but maybe given your obvious american ideological alignment, you don't understand satire either.

peace and justice in Iraq - now thats a laugh. the use of DU in Gulf War I the failure of the US to support the Shia uprisings in 91, ten years of brutal sanctions - described by John Pilger as a 'medieval seige', constant bombing in the 'no fly zones, eight days of airstrikes on Baghdad, then war, cluster bombs, tomahawks, bombed market places, checkpoint murders, targetting journalists, hostipals overflowing with casualties, and now the occupation which will not be democratic, refusal to allow the Kurds to take Kirkuk, the backing of thieves malitia's in Najaf and Baghdad (journalist on rte this morning said that she was threatened by one such militia man that he could shoot her because she wasn't embedded) and of course the upcoming rape of the oil. yeee haaw, i love peace and justice don't you?
