Detonating for hours with massive explosions, ammunition depots near St Petersburg are causing a stir among local Russians.
The local governor advises residents to stay indoors.
War has arrived.
Great article.
“ The UN has become one of the most dangerous instruments in modern geopolitics. Authoritarian regimes are using the UN’s prestige to normalise their behavior, conceal their crimes and peddle anti-Western propaganda. It should terrify all of us that the world’s most trusted watchdog has been successfully leveraged as a PR firm for tyrants.”

Mission accomplished: Putin was never going to accept Zelenskyy’s proposal for a face-to-face meeting, but the Ukrainian leader’s letter has dominated international media coverage of Putin’s big speech and has succeeded in highlighting the Russian dictator’s refusal to negotiate
I note that most people decrying US government intervention here were not at all shy when it came to intervening in US race debates in the wake of the George Floyd tragedy. Including Starmer himself of course.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
This is what drives people up the wall with Labour:
a) Every Minister, from Starmer down, mouths the platitude "our priority must be Epstein's victims".
b) Mandelson is forced to resign because of his friendship with Epstein
c) Darren Jones sends Mandelson a sycophantic, fawning message AFTER his relationship with Epstein is fully exposed.
d) Darren Jones literally goes on national television and lies about sending that message.
e) Darren Jones lies are finally exposed themselves.
f) Jones "allies" then start roaming around, briefing the media HE is the victim.
g) Jones carries on in post as if nothing has happened
There's a noticeable pattern to the public statements made by families bereaved in situations that could turn into a flash point, such as Southport, Manchester Arena, Valdo Calocane, Finbar Sullivan and of course Henry Nowak.
There's always a line; "we do not want our child's death to be used to create division".
This line can then be exploited by the establishment to silence any debate and condemn anyone who asks questions.
If there was no guidance given, I would expect more variation in the statements.
What advice and guidance are bereaved families given by government agencies? What procedures are there around this? What are the names of the agencies that provide this advice?
"He loves war," said Trump of Hegseth, as Hegseth grinned. In my column today, I comment on this, bringing in FDR and George C. Marshall. I touch on other subjects too, including Republicans and Ukraine. In any case, see what you think.

From far better informed sources than I
I am convinced the police betraying all accepted first aid protocols
Disrupted a blood clot forming inside Henry Nowak, designed to keep him alive.
This *must* be investigated.
Keir Starmer has shown more anger at people being furious over Henry Nowak’s treatment than the fact that Henry bled to death handcuffed like a criminal.
This is why he is so despised.
This is what brings out the real passion in Starmer: condemning people who bring up difficult issues in ways he finds uncomfortable. In contrast, his words about actual murders (Southport, So’ton) or rapes (grooming gangs passim) always feel clichéd and fake.
MORE: Russia’s June 1 to 2 strikes are part of a pattern of escalating Russian strikes against Kyiv City intended to take advantage of Patriot interceptor shortages and distract from Russia’s inability to secure its deep rear from Ukrainian long-range strikes, as well as from its battlefield setbacks.
Putin is using massive strike packages against Kyiv in an effort to break Ukraine’s will to fight as well as to disguise his weakness, particularly his inability to secure Russian territory, including Russia’s capital, from Ukraine’s deep strikes. He is also seeking to recover from the embarrassment of having had to ask Ukraine for permission to hold even a dramatically scaled-down Victory Day parade on May 9.
I don’t think conservatives realize how much Russian propaganda we have been fed over the last few years as “independent journalism”.
It’s starting to become very clear to me how many people who claimed to be defenders of the West were just saying that to suck in a pro-West audience so they could slowly brainwash them with foreign propaganda until they could convince their viewers to work against the West.
Those “interviews” we all defended were not actually interviews. They were psychological operations meant to weaponize political factions in America for the purpose of pushing foreign interests.
And many of us fell for it because we let our anger with the system get the best of us and we decided to trust personalities who have never been honest about who they are and where they come from.
I’m starting to think the entire podcast ecosystem is and always has been on giant psychological and information warfare operation.
Criminals and terrorists no longer need billions of dollars for weapons and aircraft. They just need an influencer and podcast budget to create more damage to our society than high powered weapons.
I hope the DOJ will investigate all of this.
It’s a shame so many false accusations of Russian collusion were spread over the last 10 years as a way to smear Donald Trump and his allies with lies, because now that actual Russian interference is here in our media and on social media, nobody believes it’s real.
It’s starting to get very creepy just how coordinated, organized and well funded this OPP is.
This was Kyiv last night.
Those very, very fast missiles are probably 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles. Russia fired eight of them at us yesterday.
Imagine this was your city, and this was happening a few hundred metres from your home.
Not for the first time, Starmer sounds far more passionate condemning demonstrations provoked by a murder than he does condemning the murder itself #pmqs
Here is the key question: what made Henry Nowak’s murderer think that by claiming to be the victim of racism he could alter police behaviour? That he happened to be right is a secondary issue, because it follows naturally from the first.
