There are only two other things that can travel at the speed of light:-
(1) Lies
(2) Bad News
People tend to believe what they see right before them, “prima facie”…
If you see someone who looks exactly like someone you know - walk into a room, pull out a gun, shoot someone dead in front of you, and walk right on out again… You are going to believe the person responsible IS that “person you thought you knew”…
And yet, we’re routinely told today that “Any evidence against billionaires - doesn’t count, because it’s obviously a deep fake”… Yeh right. #Can’t we even investigate further, like everyone is equal under the law and all#? - NO! the elites cry out in unison!
The Elites now have the power to produce damning proof against anyone who annoys them, whilst no amount of publicly-believed “Proof” is accepted for even bringing criminal charges against their own number…
A bit like the Distopian Future predicted by the authors of a century ago, except this time around - it is the PUBLIC that are the “Soft, Fatted Cattle”, with the Elites as the draconian, demonic ruling class…
The main weakness the Elites have exploited to gain such power over the public (numbering nearly 8billion people, worldwide, don’t forget!) is that we are led to believe everything is our collective fault, rather than those who rule us, with or without our consent.
Previous generations might have looked elsewhere for inspiration, far beyond the lies and weaponized wealth of the very elites closest to them…
Does anyone on here trust the police anymore?
Even the German Police of 90 years ago - appeased their own public to gain further power, but our lot - don’t even do THAT - do they?
Have we seen the police kicking in the heads of Anti Vaxers, Extinction Rebellion, The Far Left OR Right? Nope. They are so liberal, they cannot be possibly even defined as “Police” anymore, as “Police” are meant to enforce our laws as written, rather than act as “Bodyguards” for the ruling establishment that only have them between the angering public and the very establishment they might yet one day rise up, and over-throw…
We’re months away now from Major Crimes such as Murder, Kidnapping, ■■■■, and Arson - taking place in plain sight, with the police warned to “do nothing” because “The powers that be” have ordained this.
The OP mentioning “Essex” is just the tip of a rather bigger iceberg, I fear…
“County Lines Gangs”, “Boat Skippers”, “Non-Doms running Employment Agencies”, and even the racketeers running the black market for Big Pharma materials - can only rise and rise from this point.
“Just when you thought the lockdown was over” - it isn’t as safe in the street as it used to be.
