You may disagree with the writer's conclusions but not to read the article is to bury one's head in the sand.

Hi, thanks for the link, i had a read of the article, also had a read of several other articles by Mr Umair Haque as i had never heard of him before, i can understand why some of a certain "type" might agree with his views however as he also seems to be predicting the end of America and the end of the world i think i will stick with mainstream news for now.

Do you have any good links to "alien" stories ?, those really interest me.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the article.  The only point the author failed to make for me is that the purpose of the idealogy isn't just for idealogy's sake - its purpose is to make the rich and powerful minority who preach it, even richer and more powerful, at the expense of the majority.  But, yes, very much like Putin and his generals.

Kind regards,

Kim

I spent years in a job that was so invested in Political Correctness, Diversity, current trends and political agenders on all levels that it actually inhibited me from doing my job!!!

Now, retired and living permanently in Spain, I like living in complete ignorant bliss.  I did read the article, at least half of it.  Got turned off when I lost count how many times the author mentioned or referenced 'ideology'.

I'm sure it may benifit some, but for me.  Well, it just supports my original thoughts that 'getting out of Dodge' whilst I could was the best decision I made.

["getting out of Dodge"] was my escape ( for similar reasons) from " political correctness". That was well over 20yrs ago with open trading & traveling borders within Europe without UK having been ( currency-wise), fiscally involved. Then political correctness set in with a UK referendum. Still ongoing. V

I see that the author of the article Mr Umair Haque describes himself as an economist and a medium, as the article is hosted on a site that lends itself to "mediums" i can only surmise the article is based on a psychic "event" rather than his expertise as an economist, does he do crystal balls as well ?.
