Money Does Corrupt, But Only Corrupts Those With Low Morals And Of Low Character

We are living in a period of time in which the biggest threat to humanity, to all creatures, and to the Earth itself, is ourselves.
And yet our greedy leaders and greedy governments allow greedy men and greedy corporations to continue with their wake of destruction.

I know a lot of Tory MPs and I am sad to say the public is basically correct.
Tory MPs largely do not care about these poorer people.
They don’t care about the NHS. And the public has kind of cottoned on to that.
( Dominic Cummings, chief advisor to UK PM Boris Johnson )

Between August 2014 and February 2018, the Tornado, Typhoon and Reaper aircraft of the Royal Air Force spent a total of 42,000 hours in the air over Iraq and Syria.
That alone cost the UK taxpayers around £1.5 billion.

The socialism I believe in is everyone working for each other, everyone having a share of the rewards.
It’s the way I see football, the way I see life.
( Bill Shankly )

We now live in a time when our best defence is to be suspicious.
Look closely at who profits from the actions, the policies and the agendas of those with power.
Unfortunately, there are many who believe all they read, hear and see.

Boris Johnson asserts, ever more boldly, that we will leave the EU with or without a deal.
But as his sister has reminded us, he is backed by speculators who have bet billions on a hard Brexit – and there is only one outcome that works for them.
A crash-out no-deal Brexit that sends the currency tumbling and inflation soaring.
( Former UK Conservative Chancellor Philip Hammond )

Dominic Cummings, who claims to be a hard Brexiteer and is chief advisor to UK PM Boris Johnson, received over £200,000 in EU subsidies for a farm he co-owns.

We live in a time when our politicians, and the media that supports them, lie to the people, and those who dare to tell the truth are ignored or ridiculed.

American sanctions don’t affect the ruling elite in Iran.
It’s the people who suffer.
All this trouble started when Donald Trump reneged on the nuclear deal.
He did nothing when Saudi Arabia bombed a school bus in Yemen killing 40 children, or when they murdered an American-based journalist.

The sort of language I’m afraid we’ve seen more and more of coming out from No 10 does incite violence.
It’s the sort of language people think legitimises a more aggressive approach and sometimes violence.
( Former UK Conservative Minister Amber Rudd )

UK Labour MP Karl Turner confronted Dominic Cummings, the advisor to PM Boris Johnson, saying he had death threats overnight.
To this, Cummings casually replies: “Get Brexit done.”

Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
( Benito Mussolini )

Remember, when governments measure the ‘economy’, it’s by how well the rich people are doing, and not by how well the poor and the ordinary folk are doing.

Shame on the misguided, the blinded, the distracted and the divided.
Shame.
You have allowed deceptive men to corrupt and desensitise your hearts and minds to unethically fuel their greed.
( Suzy Kassem )

Saudi Arabia’s government announced the mass execution of 37 men on April 23, 2019.
At least 33 of the 37 were from the country’s minority Shia community.
The mass execution was the largest since January 2016, when Saudi Arabia executed 47 men.

The blinkered masses don’t get it, but the Government’s aim is getting them to hate the people who are being oppressed, and love the Government, who are the oppressors.
( Rose Winfold )

When the media and those with power support the corrupt few because it suits their agenda, it’s the responsibility of good and decent people to expose the lies and speak the truth.

Government scientists are commonly as corrupt as the corporate government that employs them.
( Steven Magee )

We live in a time when our leaders and those with power no longer commit crimes.
They are either ‘indiscretions’, ‘an error of judgement’, ‘an honest mistake’, or a ‘misunderstanding’.

When the UK Prime Minister was in America he told Donald Trump that his number one priority was Brexit.
Not the 87 old people dying EVERY DAY because of cuts to social care, or the continuing rise in homelessness, or the children living in poverty.
( Doris Fenlow )

Do not underestimate the power of propaganda and deliberate untruths spewed by government ministers and their puppets in the corrupt media.

The crowd doesn’t have to know, all they have to do is believe and submit to being shaped.
( Benito Mussolini )

Complicit in misery, suffering and death.
When our leaders and our governments fail to condemn and ignore the sickening and brutal atrocities and crimes committed by the nations who they profit from, what does that say about them?

The hard-right in the Conservative Party are just a multi-millionaire elite who have managed to convince the gullible masses that they, and their billionaire friends, really care about the common people.
( Len Firswood )

More than $1million PER MINUTE of taxpayers’ money is spent on global farm subsidies, much of which is driving the climate crisis and destruction of wildlife.
Just 1% of the $700billion (£560billion) a year given to farmers is used to benefit the environment.

If one hundred people drowned on a British cross-channel ferry, it would be a national disaster.
If one hundred refugees drowned in the English Channel, it would be a political question.
( Rose Winfold )

An ally of the UK and the U.S., Saudi Arabia have executed 136 people so far this year (2019), including six children.
Executions include crucifixion and beheading, and claims are made that many are tortured into making confessions.
Crimes include demonstrating, sorcery and homosexuality.

If you want to be lied to, all you have to do is believe everything that Boris Johnson tells you.
( Len Firswood )

The simple-minded follow, and believe, the loudest and most repetitive voices.

Money does corrupt, but only corrupts those with low morals and of low character.
( Len Firswood )

Dominic Mckenzie Cummings, special advisor to Michael Gove when he was Education Secretary (that worked out well, Gove was sacked), and now top advisor to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Many believe that Cummings’ long-term strategy is for long-term associate Michael Gove to be PM.

Modern conflicts and wars are started by the greedy elite to gain more power and to make themselves even more money.
( Rose Winfold )

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s proposed tax cuts would cost the government up to £20billion and mostly benefit the richest households in Britain, according to new independent research.
But Johnson knows this will attract the wealthy donors for his General Election campaign.

Those we send to war may suffer or die, but those who do the sending, and often profit from the conflict, sit comfortably and safely at home.
( Rose Winfold )
