A top man with an incredible story to tell. 🇬🇧

Excellent comment. I know it is from a year ago, but I feel compelled to respond. They who manipulate and control the general population, work very hard to keep our general level of self awareness to its absolute minimum. They focus our minds on fear with the constant bombardemnet of propoganda and programming on mainstream media. Then the distraction of entertainment and sport, just bubblegum for the minds of the masses, with team worship to cause division and distaraction, and dangle they carrot of commercialism to get us to buy the trendiest of products, with no real difference in quality to cheaper items made in the same sweatshops, but with better named brand labels on them. The last thing these oligarchs want is for us all to wake up. But it is thanks to these men and women who share their stories, we can all learn a great deal from. So we must share. Share everything you find of interest that may help to change anothers life. God bless you. Ken.
