’Tis the season to be hypocritical, but railing at Rothschilds is evergreen for St Jeremy
Jewish money. The Sydney Morning Herald, December 25:
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has apologised for an Instagram post (in which he said) … “We been getting that Jewish Money, Everything is kosher” … Over the weekend, James also made headlines … (saying) “In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality.”
JK Rowling tweets, December 23:
And lo, unto her did appear a host of Corbyn defenders … and she was not sore afraid, because she was used to it. And the host did sing … “We know the true reason thou despisest Saint Jeremy.” And she did say unto them “share thy hot take.” And … they did declare, “thou fearest Saint Jeremy, friend of the poor, because he shall take from thee in taxation much more even than Herod” … And she did reply, “I shall not call ye dimwits, for it is the season of goodwill, but tis not Saint Jeremy who shall tax me, nay, not even if he enters the house of Number Ten, for my tax rates are set by Queen Nicola … and unto her I do pay my full portion, seeking neither to flee to Monaco nor to hide my gold in far flung lands, like St Jacob, Patron Saint of Filthy Hypocrites … Yet must I protest … that this party of Labour, which I have so long loved, has become, under St Jeremy” — “Speak not of the Jews!” cried the host. “Why must thou speak so oft of the Jews?” “Yea, I must speak,” said she, “for when Jews no longer feel safe in Labour then I too must leave.” And one of the host did shout something about the Rothschilds …
Give them silver. Michael McHugh, The Australian, December 25:
Bono has urged people to dig deep into their pockets … (at a) Christmas Eve busk in Dublin … “As the buckets go around, fill them with silver, fill them with hope — the season of hope,” Bono said.
Not my silver? Philip Goff, The Guardian, November 8 last year:
In 2011 … (as) Bono sang … a balloon was inflated at the front of the audience bearing the words U PAY TAX 2? The protest was prompted by U2’s decision … to move their tax affairs from Ireland to the Netherlands, after the Irish government decided to cap the tax-free exemption on royalties at €225,000 (before this, artists in Ireland were not obliged to pay tax on royalties) … Before the protest, the co-founder of Bono’s charity One, Jamie Drummond, (asked me to cancel the protest but I said no) … Drummond became slightly aggressive … With the Paradise Papers revelations … it looks like my prediction has come to pass. Bono … (invested) in a company based in ultra-low tax Malta … The company was later transferred to zero-tax (on company profits) Guernsey.
How much silver? Emmy Wallin, wealthygorilla, December 2018:
Bono’s net worth is estimated to be roughly $700 million … making him the 2nd richest rock star (of all time).
Wailing wall. Trump tweets, December 25:
I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!
The wall according to rapper Talib Kweli, Twitter, December 21:
So, you’re unaware of the fact that nazi Germany had a wall called the Berlin Wall that was torn down in 1991 in order to foster humanity and diversity? Walls didn’t work for Nazis so why build them here? Build bridges not walls Nazi lover.
