Having watched & enjoyed @PaulMcCartney’s set at #Glastonbury on TV last night, after his set I was appalled to see him come back onstage waving an outsized Ukrainian flag, accompanied by that “Butcher’s apron”, the UnionJack. If this isn’t the opposite of all that Glastonbury 1/

stands for, I don’t know what is! #Glastonbury was established in the spirit of hippiedom and the 1960’s counter culture, anti war and anti establishment. The Beatles were once actually a part of this counter culture supporting peace and love! 2/

#Ukraine’s #Zelensky on the other hand, does not seek peace, but continues to demand more and heavier weaponry in the US/NATO proxy war against #Russia. He is the West’s puppet in ensuring the escalation of hostilities to the point of embedding actual Nazis in Ukraine’s army 3/

with the aim of breaking up Russia to divide its resources amongst the failing capitalist western countries. Desperate also to direct outwards the unrest & tensions building up at home because of Covid mass death & failing economy. 4/

The amount of propaganda being pumped out by msm, especially countless & unprecedented appearances of Zelensky (not only does he appear before parliaments, but also contaminates cultural events such as the Oscars & now Glasto) is utterly shameful & a sign of how much 5/

Western democracy has degenerated to nothing but a byword for the billionaire elites to hold up as a fig leaf to their rotten, corrupt hold on the planet and its precious resources.
So this is what it has come to. Using the nostalgia of more optimistic (& revolutionary times) 7/

to dull the critical senses of today’s youth in an attempt to recruit them into mindless ciphers supporting the war aims of Wall Street and the banks, destroying their own and others lives in the process. #NoWar #GeneralStrike! 8/END
