Does anyone remember the livejournal? How it was sold to the SUP and the arrests and harassment of participants for free speech began in Russia?

      Any country that has internet? However, Russia seems to be the most active (or at least best recognizable)

      The US ‘just’ capitalizes it.

        The more I analyse the news and what is happening in the world as a whole … I don’t think nations matter any more. It doesn’t matter if you say it’s Russian, Ukrainian, American, German, Chinese or even Canadian … the power and influence is controlled by corporations and many of them have way more power and wealth than the smallest nations. They exert so much power that they influence (at least) or control (at most) every nation in the world.

        They’re so wealthy and powerful that they can bend, break or manipulate any and all laws of any nation that stand in their way.

        It’s not a conspiracy at this point … it’s just an observation.

          My economics teacher said it best: It’s a conspiracy that occurs in plain sight, and yet people think aliens are conspiracies. They are distractions.
