Kneecap has apologized to the families of Cox and Amess. It said it has never supported Hamas or Hezbollah and that the footage circulating online has been “deliberately taken out of all context” as part of a “smear campaign” following their criticism of Israel and the United States in regards to the war in Gaza.

If i'd be them, i'd get the fuck of the country. It sounds like a smear campaign, from the highest order.

The "Highest Order" has a firm grasp on the world right now. Honest humanity is fully manipulated.

Certainly feels like it. We're still in shallow shit, it's knee high, but shit's getting deeper by the minute.

Something tells me that, we will need to get as deep as getting shit sprayed straight in our faces and start exhaling fecal mist, until we fight back for real.

It's like the feeling of being safe, because the country you live in isn't at war or at least on the winning side of war, is completely illusory, because the government will eventually wage a war against its own citizens.

Yeah.

I am an observer in life. I'm different. I can't help but see a majority of privileged people completely unaware of how real life is. It's like I'm watching people not know how to react because they finally met realness for the first time. ...But don't get me wrong I don't know how to react either.

You say the government will wage war. The reality is the government manipulated us and that the war has been happening, left or right. We have all been psychologically manipulated for so long... But now that is becoming blatantly evident.

Something is very wrong with humanity worldwide. People have been escaping via 1st world pleasure life for too long and they forgot what the reality of being a human is.

One thing I do know is that no side will ever feel right to me.

I realize now, we are just a product. We aren't even actually living to the potential of our humanity regardless if we "make it" in life.

I've seen so much actual evil in life. I think I'm broken.
