No, it's just Groundhog Day, and we are back to 8 December last year, Post #167 when Itchy Boy said



"And, in the same way that it doesn't matter who is PM, it doesn't matter who is King or Queen. They don't act on their own, although technically they could, I suppose. The royal family is part of a global network of exceedingly wealthy and powerful people. As George Carlin said, "It's a club, and we're not in it."


and Post #177:


"It's neither a conspiracy, nor a theory. The existence of the Bilderberg meetings were once considered conspiracy theory, but now it's out in the open and they've been meeting since the 1950's.

What do you think 'globalism' is all about? How did the EU come about?
Did the people of all those countries campaign to lose their sovereignty?
Or was it a top down operation sold to the people as being the best way forward?

Have there not been a slew of corporate mergers and acquisitions over the last few decades? Is it not true that corporate and political power is consolidating all around us? That more and more power is accruing into fewer and fewer hands?

This is all public information, not a conspiracy theory.

Here's an interview with Norman Dodd. Worth watching the whole thing, but I draw your attention to the segment from about 17:40 to 21:30.

We have not moved forward an inch, apart from him removing the Queen from his argument, because he failed at that miserably and it was getting him nowhere. And Her Majesty was always just a tool he wanted to use to get to his real agenda. The Great World Wide Conspiracy.

I can't fix that.
You are worried about the wrong thing. You're worried that there's this hidden hand in charge of everything. As I told you before, the thing that should worry you is that there is no one in charge of everything. There is no deep state. There is no secret world government. No one is protecting the environment. starting or preventing wars or running the world economy. That should terrify you. We just sort of let it all happen with no plan or reason.

No, it's the corporations and the banks that are running everything, and they're not even doing it secretly.
