Elite investors works the best, sometimes they hide in government offices, sometimes they buy large yachts and flaunt their riches. Elite investors encompasses all of these idiots who think they can control the demolition of the planet.

I must say I wasn't aware of Germany having boosted its WHO contribution so much. Look at the 2018-2019 figures in comparison:

"Nothing beyond the state - nothing above the state", sure is catchy and is real good if you belong to the 1% already on top, or the 15% being perpetual cronies and a recruitment reserve for the 1%. Not so good if you belong to the 50% actually working to survive, or the 24% lumpenproletariat being kept in reserve to be used as threat and fodder if and when as needed (say, for recruiting to police and amred forces). The rest? Call it people in transit between classes, and those at the edges of said.

Problem is selling this to the banking clans, politicians and so on - but hey, I know! Remove the jingoist rethoric, the manifest destiny BS, the uniforms and parades and funny hats - remove all the semiotics of italian fascism and german national socialism and USAmerican capitalist oligarchy and french synarchism and it's a shoe-in.

Especially if we do it via non-democratic unelected "NGOs" and slush-funds we set up to broker international deals and agreements, that way it looks totally benign, and we can tax the people to pay for our investments in capitalist ventures they have to both work for and pay to buy product from.

We're going to own everything! A perfect system, where any challenge to it is by definition undemocratic, racist, communist, anarchist, reactionary, extremist or any other value-weighted term our clergy of communication can come up with.

Imagine a worker paying rent on the whip he pays to use on his own back, forever. Always ready to lunge at his fellow worker if he in turn does not whip himself hard enough.

Me, I'm walking away from Omelas.
