I've said it many times; if an alien visited Earth in 1939, then came back now, they'd be convinced the Nazis had won the war. Especially right now, as we have global authoritarianism, lack of individual freedom, big corporates that are above the law and a media that is compliant and feeding the populous the official 'truth'. All are being subjected to medical experimentation. Facts are no longer facts, all facts are now checked and if they conflict with the mainstream narrative they are labelled false, or mostly false. We have sunk into the abyss.
Opinions on politics, economics, sport, investment and anything interesting, stocks and shares, art and entertainment, good reads, and cool stuff.

Pope Gets History Wrong
Oh dear, place this in the 'not again, give me a break' department, the current Pope has repeated the myth that Adolf Hitler came to power by being popularly elected by the German people.
Here's the Pope...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/22/pope-francis-warns-against-rise-populism-europe/
"And all of Germany votes for Hitler. Hitler didn't steal power, he was elected by the people, and then he destroyed his own people. This is the danger.”
The only problem with this view is it is wrong. Hitler seized power and his Nazi party never held a majority. His party never had more than 38% of the popular vote, and that support was falling when Hindenburg appointed him Chancellor. From that position, the Nazis took over through the passage of the Enabling Act, with SA intimidating and encircling the building.
Once granted powers under the Enabling Act, Hitler took control, eventually becoming a complete dictator. He was never popularly elected, that is a myth, oft repeated and now heard in the highest circles.
