      i cracked it. it's psychopaths. their condition is genetic and evolved around exploiting empathy through language. the estimate of 1% might as well have been pulled out of a hat as they can not be studied. there could be as many as 5% of them. they collect in positions of power as they outcompete others and it is clear to me that psychiatry is a field that is saturated with psychopaths. they can identify each other, a hustler can always spot another hustler and they have a shared interest in keeping the game tipped in their favour. their edge is contingent upon the ignorance of the majority, and so they strive to maintain that ignorance. this is not conspiracy. this is a natural order that breeds conspiracy and oppression and has done since ancient times.

    Medhi Hassan is my man. Outspoken, brilliant and funny. He carries the light of Islam the way this great religion was meant to be. I was born Christian and I will remain Christian, but I have the greatest respect for Islam the way it describes our God and the way to Him. No religion is as misunderstood and back stabbed in the western world as Islam and our media makes people believe that Islam is the way IS and Saudi Arabia portrait their religion. Nothing could be further from the truth.

      Neo Ottomans dont want Arabs to rule Mecca and Medina and they dont want Jews to have Israel.
      Indian Muslims support Turkish Ottoman empire and want Jews and Arabs gone. This is why Indian Muslims didnt want Pakistan to be created because then Pakistan will have been in the 'British' camp.

Pakistan is the hub of International terrorism. The country is full of madrasas, indoctrinating the next generation of terrorists.

STOP TALKING ABOUT SAUDIA ARABIA leave us alone. Also They are talking and expressing their opinion in a country in which they have not live. I am from Saudi Arabia, and it is the best government in the world in terms of consideration for its people. As for their war on Yemen, did you know that Yemen, which requested Saudi assistance in its war against the Houthis, and that Saudi Arabia received Yemeni refugees, did you know that Saudi Arabia took care of their treatment? And their studies, even at university, and that they have the same right as any Saudi, and did you know that Saudi Arabia is now undertaking a project to remove mines in Yemen at a cost of $40 million?

If the royal family in the UK was an oppressive totalitarian regime routinely violating human rights against its own citizens, all thanks to a foreign country supplying them with weapons and military equipment... I wonder what he'd say if that country then decided that it was best for them to keep supplying the regime with weapons as to not spark a civil war? I'd bet my left nut that he'd take his chance with a civil war in a heartbeat.
      If the only reason why there's no civil war is because your supplies help keep the crushing foot of the regime over any form of opposition, you are not keeping the peace, you are feeding and enabling a monster.
