90% of the radio stations, newspapers, TV Channels and all other News Media in the USA is owned by just 3 billionaires through a variety of shell companies.

There is no journalism, independent or even billionaire.

There is just Rupert Murdoch and his mates lies.

UK ministers have authorised dozens of exports of components for Israeli subs.

Wat zijn bedrijven die sloten subsidie nodig hebben om producten te maken die we niet eens nodig hebben in Nederland én die de rest van het land op slot zetten met hun #stikstof uitstoot?

Het zijn bedrijven met publiek gefinancierde emissiehobby’s.

Laten we daar gewoon mee kappen.
