The seven-metre (23-foot) figure, packed with 14 kilograms (31 lb) of gunpowder, was part of a decades-old ceremony held on 5 April in El Burgo, a small town near the southern city of Malaga.

    People have been sick of them for ages but a lot of politicians in the Western world, are, for some reason, beholden to Israel and have always criticised people who speak out against them. Even when that criticism is entirely justified and has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with specific individuals in the Israeli government, and their personal actions.

      I reckon the Epstein pedo honeypot that was run by Mossad and the CIA is a lot of that reason.

      Also the US runs tons of digital surveillance of their allies and Israel specializes on things like remote hacking smartphones (most companies doing that shit aren’t based in Israel by chance), so even when they don’t have photos of the politicians diddling kids they’ll have other compromising material on them such as evidence of Corruption.

      Most politicians in the West nowadays are little more than posh salesmen devoid of ideology who were attracted to the job by the Power and/or Money, so the chances of them not being crooked in some way are pretty low.
