"The trouble with government, as it is, is that it doesn't represent the people. It controls them."
John Lennon
"Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves controlled by the hidden hand."
Benjamin Disraeli (UK PM 1886 and 1874 - 1880)
These statements may not have been obvious to everyone when they were made, but they should be by now. Things have to change and we have to change them.
I have just been reading some of the tributes to John Pilger. A sad loss to a world that needs trustworthy investigative journalists now more than ever.
May 2024 bring you more subscribers, John, and success in completing your book. Slainthe mhath!
