Boris and Trump

It's quite weird seeing Trump and Boris together at the G7. Obviously many people have commented upon how similar in appearance they look. Still it's odd how these things work.

Hopefully everything goes well there.

On a separate topic the Amazonian wildfires continue. The Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has suggested that NGOs could be to blame. It's becoming a bit of a theme; nationalist leaders complaining about how NGOs are operating in their countries.

Rightly or wrongly it seems that globalism operates through NGOs. These NGOs, though non-profit and charitable, are nevertheless like all things political in nature. A few years ago you perhaps would've been labelled a conspiracy theorist for suggesting that an NGO or charity was being used to push a political agenda, but now it's a much more common expression.

Ultimately, as with the EU, globalism has now marched so far forward that it can't really be hidden anymore. Once upon a time if you said there were plans for an EU superstate you would've been considered paranoid. Now the choice between having an EU superstate and not having one is pretty much on the ballot paper. It's similar with the UN and all the various NGOs. Everything is now too visible to not be noticed. So finally we're all having a conversation about the pros and cons. I think this can only be a good thing.
