It is disturbing to have to share the information that Asa Winstanley, associate editor of the Electronic Intifada is being “investigated” and harassed by the British deep state seemingly for his research and writing about the truth of Israel’s war crimes in Palestine and Lebanon.
Cook's parody is painfully brilliant and (alas) terribly relevant.
The situation in the USA is not any better. Although we presumably have a number of "Constitutional rights" guaranteed in the First Amendment, freedoms of speech, assembly, and the press have already been curtailed, as has the right to seek "redress of grievances" (as I know first-hand!). Things will get MUCH worse if Trump wins in November...
from what i have been reading the UK has become a hungry violent totalitarian hellscape. I have read of people being sent to prison for saying things like "england for the english". They can't vote their way out because BOTH parties are corrupt and incompetent enough to be trumpers. And they can't shot their way out, because they allowed the government to take their guns. Only thing they could do is a gigantic general strike, and even then the politicians would either just let them starve, or kill enough to break the strike.
