A naive observer might ask how a crime of the magnitude of Genocide may be covered up. This is a mistake: a crime of the magnitude of Genocide must be covered up. Recall that the Catholic Church abhors Miracles as phenomena outside its system of control; popular devotion, popular politics or activism: these disgust our…

Kneecap have very ably described the activities of a rabid English political-media class urging each other on to ever greater acts of calumniation and spitefulness, as a festival of distraction. To avoid reporting on the actual Genocide, these base representatives of Regime ideology must make the perpetrators of the Genocide into victims. And so, once…

The most important artists in the country, Kneecap, have suffered a coordinated campaign by the footsoldiers of the Late Capitalist order. Their crime is their criticism of the Genocide.
