Apologies to all who my be frustrated by an occasional apparent typo. I use an AI keyboard without which I couldn't use my phone. It takes liberties: hallucination is the term. Of becomes or because of a probability. Aaahh! Me too. Fight it? We're going to lose this war anyhow.

This evil only arrived with the arrival of a new PM in Britain. All the signs are exactly the same. He wants a place to train new recruits. Ireland needs to make friends with Russia.
An Orange Order mob of 8,900 led by the criminal Jamie Bryson and, Carla Lockhart, descended on the peaceful community of Portadown last night. Amongst the mob were paramilitaries and druglords alleged to be armed. A strong PSNI presence kept order #bbclaurak #ulster #Drumcree

OO should be proscribed. There is no possible excuse not to do it. We all know that certain Palestinians are proscribed because of a large payment but we'll pretend not to know.
It didnt take too long for last night's parade to show its true face. Minutes after Lockhart and senior members of Portadown walked by playing the victims, the sectarian, anti Catholic hate tune "No Pope" was given a blast. The O.O. is a hate organisation, nothing more.

That's brave for an American and long overdue.
يخرج رئيس أمـريكا الأسبق (بيل كلينتون) ليضرب بكلام ترامب عن المسلمين عرض الحائط ويقول : بنتي (تشيلسي بيل كلينتون) قرأت القرآن الكريم كله من الجلدة للجلدة وقالت لي : /( لقد قرأت القرآن الكريم ، ولم أجد فيه أي إساءة بل وجدته كتابًا معجزًا يدعو للتعايش وأن الله جعلنا شعوبًا وقبائل لتعارفوا ) /؛ ويقول وسئمت من الحـروب الدينية والثقافية ، لا تهاجموا المسلمين فهناك أشخاص سيئون في كل ديانة لأننا جميعًا بشر . وابنتي أكدت أن كل الكلام الذي نقوله على المسلمين كذب وليس موجودًا في القرآن الكريم .

The world must not let the Israeli Zionist Jewish Supremacists get away with the genocide they committed
ISRAEL HAS TAKEN OVER OUR GOVERNMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS… Francesca explains why the destruction of evidence, the killing of witnesses, and the removal of physical traces raise profound questions about accountability and the international community's obligations.

Don't be ridiculous. He isnt representing anything more than a group of oligarchs filling foreign bank accounts in the best tradition of Ukraine and USSR.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 According to CNN, Zelensky’s workday begins between 3 and 4 in the morning, when the first battlefield reports arrive. He drinks strong black coffee, no sugar, to push through the early hours. Even under constant pressure, he has not lost his sense of humor and still finds brief moments to reset. The years of war, strain, and emotional weight are visible on him. No one carries that kind of burden without it showing. And yet he remains standing. Respect to Volodymyr Zelensky.

"No money, no soldiers for NATO: Massive protest in Rome against wartime policies and funding for Zelensky." ▪️Participants in today's protest oppose increased military spending, NATO and Israeli policies, as well as the course of the Italian government. ▪️A banner was also seen at the protest with the message: "Stop giving money to Zelensky."

Cultural rights to March in military style celebrating a military defeat of natives by William of Orange, settlement in their farms and homes and subsequent subjugation of natives from the 1640s until the end of the twentieth century. A statement of disrespect for the treaty and peace process and a spit in the eye to two nations fed up of their stinking war and all the pain it brought. If you can arrest pensioners over their hort at child murder, then it's time to talk straight with these creeps.
Peaceful. Lawful. Dignified. Thousands have gathered in Portadown tonight to show their support for the local Orangemen. Fellow citizens who had their cultural rights denied by sectarian attitudes and lawlessness. Michelle O’Neill must face consequences for her actions.

That's what it takes. The reason they're not mowed down, everybody knows they're genuine people with a genuine cause and France remembers the guillotine.
Power to the people✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 The French are strong and defiant… Despite government threats, intimidation and police repression, hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets, refusing to be silenced.

There is no doubt whatsoever about the accuracy of this piece. And it's coming your way at high speed. The moment when the lock clicks is so far in advance of when your freedom disappears, that you won't even notice it.
Il capitalismo della sorveglianza finanziato e sostenuto da Jeffrey Epstein e dall’ex primo ministro israeliano Ehud Barak punta a sviluppare ed esportare in tutto il mondo tecnologie di controllo digitale tipicamente impiegate dai regimi totalitari e dalle dittature militari. Presentato come uno strumento indispensabile per la sicurezza nazionale, questo modello finisce, nella tesi qui sostenuta, per perseguire l’obiettivo opposto: svuotare l’idea democratica di libertà e legare i governi occidentali a Israele attraverso una rete di ricatti incrociati. Epstein ha rappresentato il primo collegamento concreto tra Barak e Palantir. Nella telefonata registrata in cui ne discutono, entrambi pronunciano in modo errato i nomi «Thiel» e «Palantir»: un dettaglio che suggerisce come Epstein stesse introducendo l’argomento per la prima volta. Epstein riuscì a entrare in contatto con lui qualche anno dopo, tra il 2013 e il 2014. Per consolidare il rapporto con il cofondatore di Palantir, mise a frutto anche il proprio capitale: tra il 2014 e il 2015 convogliò circa quaranta milioni di dollari nei fondi speculativi di Thiel. I contatti proseguirono fino alla morte di Epstein. Oggi Palantir fornisce all’esercito israeliano tecnologie di intelligenza artificiale impiegate nelle operazioni a Gaza: un contribuisce e facilita il genocidio. Gaza e’ stata descritta come un «laboratorio» dagli stessi dirigenti dell’azienda. Un suo ingegnere di Palantir ha dichiarato pubblicamente che la Striscia ha rappresentato un banco di prova ideale. Nell’aprile 2026, Palantir ha pubblicato un manifesto che delinea una visione del mondo come campo di battaglia permanente. In questa prospettiva, la democrazia multietnica viene rappresentata come una minaccia alla civiltà occidentale e come incompatibile con la libertà: secondo Alex Karp, amministratore delegato dell’azienda, che ha pubblicamente rivendicato l’impiego delle proprie tecnologie per uccidere persone. Il cerchio si chiude: tecnologie di sorveglianza e controllo già utilizzate sui palestinesi e sui libanesi vengono esportate, estese e normalizzate su scala globale. Il sistema costruito per anni da Epstein negli USA . In entrambi i casi, la raccolta di informazioni sulle vulnerabilità personali diventa una leva di potere. «sorveglianza» assume un doppio significato: controllo e possibilità di ricatto.

Bill Gates is in a Dutch civil court answering for the COVID narrative he helped push. Lawyer Peter Stassen just put him, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and Mark Rutte in front of judges in Leeuwarden on behalf of seven injured plaintiffs. Two of them are already dead. The claim is straightforward: the public was deliberately misled into taking experimental injections sold as “safe and effective.” Gates tried to argue the Dutch court had no jurisdiction over him. He lost. Regime media is still treating this like it doesn’t exist. The same man who spent years telling the world what to inject is now facing personal liability claims over the exact campaign he drove. The record is being made whether they cover it or not.

Yet agaain, the truth about Ukraine war has been spelt out word for word. Public opinion is played like the Reds versus the blues. We'll never know how many innocent lives have been lost and its not over.
Schröder, ehemaliger Kanzler, LEGT DIE WAHRHEIT OFFEN: „Frieden sabotiert! Schröder äußert sich: „Warum der Krieg endlos in die Länge gezogen wird. Es ist das größte Skandalon unserer Zeit: Während täglich Menschen in der Ukraine sterben, Städte in Trümmern liegen und die Energiepreise in Europa durch die Decke gehen, wird Frieden systematisch verhindert. Nicht durch Zufall, nicht durch Missverständnisse – sondern durch absichtliche Sabotage hinter verschlossenen Türen.“ Der ehemalige Kanzler Gerhard Schröder, enthüllt in einem sensationellen Interview, wie historische Chancen, den Krieg zwischen Russland und der Ukraine zu beenden, absichtlich sabotiert wurden. Russische und ukrainische Delegationen trafen sich in Istanbul. Ein Abkommen schien in greifbarer Nähe: Neutralität für die Ukraine, Sicherheitsgarantien und eine Lösung für den Donbass-Konflikt. Doch dann kam der berüchtigte Besuch des britischen Premierministers Boris Johnson in Kiew. Laut Schröder und anderen Quellen überbrachte Johnson eine klare Botschaft des Westens: „Kämpft weiter, wir stehen hinter euch – mit Waffen, Geld und politischer Unterstützung.“ Ein Friedensabkommen? Vom Tisch. Die Eskalation war beabsichtigt. Gerhard Schröder, der Putin seit Jahren persönlich kennt und einer der letzten westlichen Staatsmänner war, die echte Diplomatie betrieben, spricht von einem „System zur Verlängerung des Krieges“. „Es geht nicht um Freiheit oder Demokratie“, sagt er weiter. „Es dreht sich um geopolitische Macht, um Russland um jeden Preis zu schwächen und um Milliarden an militärischen Gewinnen. Jeder, der von einem Waffenstillstand spricht, wird als Putin-Apologet hingestellt. Das ist keine Demokratie mehr, das ist eine Diktatur der öffentlichen Meinung.“ Die Beweislage, die Schröder und investigativer Journalismus zusammentragen, ist vernichtend. Interne Memos des US-Außenministeriums, durch Whistleblower geleakt, zeigen, dass es bereits im März 2022 klare Anweisungen gab, keine Verhandlungen zu unterstützen, die Russland „belohnen“ könnten. Schröder nennt es „moralische Selbstentwaffnung“: Deutschland, einst die treibende Kraft hinter der Ostpolitik, wurde zum Vasallen amerikanischer Interessen. Besonders explosiv ist die Rolle der NATO-Erweiterung. Schröder weist darauf hin, dass Warnungen aus Moskau bereits auf dem Gipfel in Bukarest 2008 ignoriert wurden. Putin betrachtete den Beitritt von Georgien und der Ukraine als existenzielle Bedrohung. Statt Kompromisse zu suchen, gingen die Provokationen weiter: Militärmanöver an der russischen Grenze, Waffenlieferungen und die Ausbildung ukrainischer Truppen durch westliche Spezialeinheiten. „Das war kein Verteidigungsbündnis mehr“, sagte Schröder, „das war ein aggressives expansionistisches Projekt.“ Hinter den Kulissen florierte ein Netzwerk aus Think Tanks, Waffenlobbyisten und neokonservativen Hardlinern. Namen wie der von Victoria Nuland, die eine zentrale Rolle bei dem Putsch auf dem Maidan-Platz 2014 spielte, tauchen wieder auf. Milliarden Dollar an US-Hilfe flossen nicht nur in die Ukraine, sondern auch zurück in die Taschen amerikanischer Unternehmen. Raytheon, Lockheed Martin und andere Waffengiganten buchten Rekordgewinne. Inzwischen frieren deutsche Familien, weil die Nord-Stream-Pipelines – ein Projekt, an dessen Verhandlungen Schröder maßgeblich beteiligt war – in die Luft gejagt wurden. Bis heute gab es keine echte Untersuchung. Schröder geht noch weiter. Er berichtet von geheimen Treffen, in denen hochrangige westliche Vertreter offen zugaben, dass ein schneller Sieg für die Ukraine unrealistisch sei. Dennoch wurde die Erzählung vom „Kämpfen bis zum letzten Ukrainer“ aufrechterhalten. Zehntausende junge Männer starben in sinnlosen Offensiven wie jener bei Charkiw oder im Donbass. Zivilisten in Donezk und Luhansk, die seit 2014 unter Beschuss stehen, wurden in den westlichen Medien systematisch ignoriert. „Das ist keine Voreingenommenheit, das ist Propaganda“, sagt Schröder bitter.

He wanted to be PM in order to be PM. He didn’t expect there to be work. His narcissism persuaded him we would all love living under him & laughing at his ‘jokes’. He was a perfect, one-man argument for the abolition of Eton.
This man and his lackey Hancock have been found guilty of killing thousands of older people living in care homes and lying to the public time and again. They should be arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned posthaste.

Seriously, look at this. 29 pupils. Let's say that again: 29. This is what @LucyMPowell and @edmiliband are bullshiting about.
The more you learn about this the more terrifying and disgraceful it is. All to protect the Zionist Israeli genocide of non “Jews” in Palestine.
