Interview Transcript from one side only: There are moments when you think that you know what’s going on… Like some of the conspiracy theories make sense… Notice I only said some, before you think that this is a recruiting ad for Qananan… Mmm, never realised how close that “Qanon” and “Quoran” were in terms of…
Refugee crises are often manufactured by governments. They can be done at the source: war, famine, rapacious institutions. They can also be manufactured by the refusal of governments to accept those seeking asylum, sanctuary and refuge.
