The collective WEST is being run and controlled by the sell outs of humanity who've discarded their moral compass for a step up the corporate ladder.
Humanity has already proven unable to hold our misleaders accountable for the crimes that they commit in our name.
Humanity is at the precipice of going into free fall - there will be no safety net.
We cannot afford to wait any longer - we must act and we must act now - or humanity will be living on its knees forever.
