The pipeline between a thing happening and people knowing about it (and understanding it in context) has collapsed to the point most people no longer have any idea what's going on.
The timeline is unsettling because it's clear how we got here AND that there's no obvious course correction available.

On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

5-7 million killed by deliberate starvation and Ukrainians were particularly targeted by Stalin.
It is estimated that nearly 4 mill Ukrainians were deliberately starved to death by Stalin.

One of the worst atrocities and one of the least discussed.
Today is Holodomor remembrance day, one of the worst human rights atrocities of the 20th century.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
