The level of brainwashing has gotten so deep that there seems NO way out of this warmongering and criminality.

Shame about the aspect ratio. It makes me look even fatter. (I'm the balding bearded bloke wearing glasses at the front with the camera).

I hope that soon these protests won't be necessary.

The video also gives the impression that everyone started walking away during Jamima Khan's speech. This was not the case. Just careless editing.

"The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people." — James Madison Author of the American Bill of Rights

Such a group of men would be viewed by history as the saviors of millions, the enablers of peace and equality, and some of the greatest heroes to have ever lived.

The alternative? We wait and let the criminal class kill how many thousands? millions? of people...

With even the voice of John Pilger seemingly making no difference to the ability of the criminal oligarchs to continue murder of innocents and looting of the planet, it seems nothing less than targeted vigilante assassinations of these vermin will solve the problem. It's a tragedy that there have not yet been a group of conscientious military pilots (who understand the corruption and genocidal crimes of the masters), with access to jets, bombs, and information, willing to "solve" oligarchy.
