"Growth" as a metric of success was only ever going to lead to this kind of shite
Yup.  There's absolutely heaps wrong with the whole system here, and what it is doing to music in general, but something that fascinates me about it is how the product being used here isn't even important in the transaction.  Art commodified to the point of being utterly useless, the only things relevant are clicks and revenue.  Even the lads running the phone farms, though a drop in the bucket compared to what labels are at, are even saying the content doesn't matter.  Of course this also bleeds into actual creative attitudes, inadvertently, and you have artists genuinely trying to compete against a rigged system by flogging their music on the same platform, and designing music, releases, promotion around Spotify - totally pointless when it is just a click farm.

Anyone read this before? https://deagel.com/forecast

Came across it a while ago but forgot about it. The bit of reading at the bottom is an interesting scenario. The predictions for each country are based on I dunno what but are grim. Ireland predicted to have a population of 1.2 million by 2025 for some reason.

Very little official to be found about the purpose of this site but an interesting little rabbit hole for anyone who likes these sort of things

Billy boy main donor of WHO

Billy also founder of GAVI, vaccine alliance.

https://www.gavi.org/news/media-room/ireland-pledges-new-support-gavi

Varadkar pledges money to GAVI.

this shit could go on and on, but it's rather circular is it not?

Edit: It's in this thread because it's only a theory and there is no proof that these lads are conspiring to make a fuckload of money and control of the world's economies. It would be too obvious with it being all out in the open like that. If one wished to do their own bit of digging, pick any other country and search WEF, WHO and GAVI and also look at Wellcome Trust with the same thing in mind.

Edit 2: Wellcome Trust are funding or have funded every lockdown loving, vaccine pushing mofo in the news nowadays, if anyone hasn't heard of them.

What's that, bill gates again!! https://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/Quick-Links/Grants-Database/Grants/2016/07/OPP1151904

Edit 3: Just googled "Luke O Neill Wellcome Trust" and here we go https://www.hrb.ie/news/news-story/article/new-frontiers-in-inflammation-research/

Wow, even our resident guitar playing lunatic who wants kids to take a vaccine to go to their debs is connected. I would call it an octopus but it has too many limbs for that

This channel goes down a bit of  rabbit hole looking at Gates' past, and the wealth and elite connections he comes from.

Think it was last year I watched it, so can't remember if there's anything worthwhile in it. Think it mentions the Epstein connection anyway. Seems like something that would entertain you:

To be fair, there are so many rabbit holes to go down when it comes to Bill Gates that it's nearly too easy. He has his fingers in every sort of thing and he is a shining example of why unfettered capitalism is a bad thing. He is currently buying up vast swathes of farmland in the US and telling the rest of us that we need to be eating synthetic meat and not driving our cars, while he pays for carbon credits to offset his own jet-setting lifestyle and the media hang on his every word simply because he is rich. Like that long post I put there last night took all of 5 minutes to research on google and make links between Leo Varadkar, the WEF and Bill Gates and the same could be done with almost any political leader or government scientific or health advisor in any country. Gates really is all over everything, directly or indirectly, especially through the WHO and Wellcome Trust and coincidentally, the policies pushed by those entities all allow for the rich to become even richer in the current situation. It isn't even really a conspiracy theory though, more it just is what it is and is there for anyone to see.

Nothing new in here for many of you, the historical info has featured in several documentaries, but always good for a timely reminder of why a virtual, capital based economy is necessarily detrimental to the well-being of a planet with real, finite resources and a massive pollution problem (it's about planned obsolescence):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5v8D-alAKE

Yeah because those planned economies were a real boon for Mother Nature!

No, you're wrong there; most of the times that's been tried, it turned into a disaster. Just like that one time capitalism was tried absolutely everywhere; ongoing disaster!

Good read from the ever engaging, regardless of which diverse topic he's treating, Jon Ronson, 20 years after release of his book Them: Adventures with Extremists:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/apr/11/making-sense-of-conspiracy-theorists-as-the-world-gets-more-bizarre

Not a bad read that. It's a bit like the How We All Became Richard Nixon video that I posted in the random thread. As much as I laugh at the lizard demon crowd, he describes my own affliction very well in the last paragraph

Ok here's a new one. Bezos and Gates have manufactured their divorces as a way to be forced to sell their shares and split the money with the wives because they know the crash of the stock market is imminent. If they simply sell them, the price will crash and that's no good, and there are laws around doing that in the knowledge something is about to happen. But if a judge orders them to split their fortunes with the exes, they get a free pass on selling up, following a precedent set during the collapse of Enron back in the day where one chap got to sell up due to a divorce.

Pretty tenuous stuff but might be interesting
