Submitted: Fake on the make

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Watching everything that has happened since the engagement, I can only conclude that Meghan is completely oblivious to the negative PR and public opinion. In her mind, she was separated from the royals at birth and has now finally been reconnected to the family she never had. She has to makeup for 36 years of bling and clothes she didn’t get. 

But stepping back and taking a broader perspective: there is so much corruption within the higher levels of government, corporations, media, etc. these days. Everyone is a fake on the make. The so called “liberal” media in the “free” world has been dead for several years. 

Corporate media is full of gushing articles on Meghan. The Daily Mail and possibly Yahoo are the last two places where the public can still express an opinion on a larg(er) scale. (For comparison, I comment a lot of Financial Time, but a really hot topic gets only a few hundred comments compared to DM thousands). Google search will not bring up blogs anymore unless you already know of the existence of the blog. Twitter, fb, etc. are not places where you can get reasonable analysis of anything.

I’ve seen for myself that in the biggest bank’s headquarters, senior executives are only concerned with hanging on to their paychecks. Every decision they make hinges on that one objective. Apart from a small number of entrepreneurs (and even many of those eventually sell out), you have to hustle your way up the hierarchy if you want to recognized as a mover and a shaker. 

Face it, Meghan is a small fraud compared to Lloyd Blankfein or Jamie Dimon, or even the Clintons with their pay-to-play schemes through the State Department. No, I am not a Trump supporter, I am a Julian Assange supporter and I was a Sanders supporter ….long live the liberal media for exposing all the shenanigans around the democratic nomination. Said nobody ever. 

Corporate media is composed of craven journalists also attached like limpets to their paycheques, They spew whatever narrative is required. I’ve seen “news reports” that have entire chunks cut and pasted from press releases. The media’s job is to protect institutional elites. 

75% (?) of the public buy every narrative they are fed, whether it is about the War on “Terrorism” or Meghan Markle “modernizing the monarchy”. Just look at the all the photos of European royalty playing dressup in their silly gowns, crowns and sashes

….fakes on the make, the whole lot of them.

Thanks for sending this in! I love the FT comment section and it’s so depressing that it’s only a handful of people chiming in. I also follow FinTwitter and a fantastic thread will get maybe 32 RTs, which is also sad.

The fakery is everywhere nowadays, which is downright scary. One reason I blog about Meghan is that it’s less stressful than commenting on Trump or Elon Musk or any of the other fraudsters. Meghan has little effect on my real life, my country, or its economy. The other have a huge influence. 

And the press is useless. I can sort of see why the royals get this worshipful pap because they are so secretive and finding real info is hard. I don’t understand it as to the other fraudsters. it reminds me of Chuck Price’s legendary 2007 quote “as long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance.” It’s good while it lasts, but eventually the music stops and the whole house of cards comes down.
