@alexboge @DDannessa If building 7 can just "give up" in sypathy with wtc1 and 2, shouldnt everyone who works in other steel structure buildings be shitting themselves? How badly was it designed? Looks like it was made of matchsticks and the big bad wolf came by an blew it down.

Watching Kennedy's exchange with Warren prompted Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) to make a fatal error:

He blurted out that nearly EVERY POLITICIAN is taking Pharma dollars — as if that somehow excused Warren, himself, and his colleagues.

But it only made him look like a complete fool.

SANDERS: “Just for the record, every single Republican... has received PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry. Are they all corrupt as well?”

KENNEDY: “And I’m telling you the American Heart Association has been co-opted by the food industry.”

SANDERS: “Every Republican got corporate PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry, Democrats as well. Everybody is corrupt but you? Is that what we’re looking at? I don’t think so.”

This is one of those exchanges that leave you scratching your head. Kennedy was confused by what Sanders was trying to accomplish here.

The most absurd argument that I've seen against independence is that, because a court in a foreign, non-Scots jurisdiction (unlawfully) asserts jurisdictional authority, we both cannot be independent AND we are not a colony.

The Supreme Court of England was only established in 2009 FFS. Coincidentally just after the SNP first took power.

Its claims over Scotland are illegitimate, void according to the Treaty of Union and entirely political in nature.

🧵 The British Nationalist Bingo Card 🎯
Ten tired fairy stories from Unionists - and answers from reality.

1️⃣ "What currency will you use?"
💬 The pound - 7 other countries are pegged to it now.

-Then we’ll migrate to our own currency when it suits us.
-Like over 160 countries already have. It's normal.
-It’ll be stable, planned, and protect both Scotland and rUK economies during the transition.
-If we ever join the euro, it’ll be by referendum after a referendum to join the EU.
-That may not even happen if we join EFTA/EEA.
-That won't be decided by Westminster.
-They don’t have that power.

2️⃣ "You’ll lose your pension!"
💬 That’s not how pensions work.

-Pensions are based on contributions, not geography.
-The UK already pays people in Spain, Australia, France, etc.
-They already pay Scots who have emigrated to Spain for example.

3️⃣ "You won't get into the EU!"
💬 Scotland will join Europe when we are ready.

-We have a choice and again it's not in your power.
-EFTA and EEA or the EU.
-We’re a natural fit, and no, we won’t be forced into the euro unless we vote for it.
-Westminster doesn't control that either.

4️⃣ "There will be a hard border with England!"
💬 Modern borders are smart, not barbed wire.

-Norway trades with Sweden, Switzerland with France.
-The only people threatening a hard border are Unionists.
-Why block your second biggest trading partner?

5️⃣ "The UK is Scotland’s biggest trading partner!"
💬 That’s because we’ve been locked into it.

-Rejoining EFTA or the EU gives us access to 500 million customers.
-And the UK can still gets access to whisky, oil, renewables, fish and other resources if they want.
-You'll just have to pay us for them going forward.
-Unless you want to cut trade and have your lights go out of course.

6️⃣ "Scotland can’t afford it!"
💬 Countries smaller and poorer than Scotland already run themselves just fine.

-Ireland, Denmark, Estonia, Portugal... etc
-We’ve got energy, exports, land, water and talent.
-Only approx 5.25m people with all that revenue.
-The only thing we can’t afford is another decade of Westminster.

7️⃣ "It’s just grievance politics!"
💬 If demanding democracy, accountability, and control over your own future is a grievance - sign me up.

- Grievance is watching Westminster burn billions while kids go hungry.
-Your grievance argument denies us our culture, resources and self respect.
-We'll be taking them back and you'll just have to cope.

8️⃣ "Businesses will leave!"

💬 Like how they fled Brexit Britain?

-If anything, they’ll come running when we rejoin Europe or the Single Market.
-Independence means building for us, not begging London for crumbs.

9️⃣ "You had a vote in 2014 – get over it!"
💬 We voted based on promises 'Better Together' broke and lied about.

-Does that make you proud?
-It gives us absolutely no confidence in YOU!
-Remember “stay in the UK to stay in the EU.”
-We’re allowed to change our minds.
-Democracy doesn't stop after one vote silly.

🔟 "You don’t have a plan!"
💬 Our plan is normal country 101.

-We elect our own governments.
-Run our own economy.
-Trade like everyone else.
-Stop being ruled by parties from another country we never voted for.
-You ragin' yet?

*******
🃏 Bonus Round: “You’ll be like North Korea!”
💬 With whisky, renewables, wind exports, and higher GDP than half of Europe?

-You never really did know what you were talking about did you.

*******
📢 Independence is normal.

-Being ruled by another country isn’t.

In a new and important article The Times has confirmed our scoop about the new US-leased plane flying spy missions over Gaza for Israel from RAF Akrotiri, the UK airbase on Cyprus.

UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) sources told the paper that the government is paying a US company to undertake the spy flights. The flights are now flown by contractors, not UK military pilots, but the MoD would not disclose the length or cost of the contract.

We discovered the new contractor pilot had forgotten to turn off his plane's transponder over Gaza on July 28, giving us the first glimpse of the spy flights' path over Gaza in 20 months of such missions.

A UK military source told The Times it was a "schoolboy error" that would not have happened if the plane had been operated by RAF pilots.

It is a very important article because it's first time distress from within the UK Ministry of Defence about its direct participation in the Gaza genocide has been voiced.

The paper writes: "Patience with Israel inside the MoD appears to be running out...Military sources are baffled by the decision to privatise RAF intelligence-gathering tasks to help Israel, questioning why the government hasn’t pulled support after photographs emerged of starving Palestinians."

A senior British military source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the newspaper: “Instead of sending a message to Israel that we aren’t going to do surveillance for you, we are happy to hire an American company and pay for it.”

The source added that the aircraft being used by the US company is "essentially the same aircraft [as Shadow R1], being [run] by a civilian company who are for hire. They have US security clearances and therefore allied nations who trust the US can hire them. This is about support for Israel."

The Times added: "Britain’s military support for Israel is at odds with the Foreign Office position, which has been to call out the Israeli government for 'grotesque' treatment of Palestinians and threaten sanctions."

A government source told the paper there would be "several hard drives" of intelligence gathered by British spy planes over Gaza.

look carefully at this video captured by a French TV crew without the Israelis knowing it. A group of Palestinians are gathered for a protest, then four of them pick up rocks and throw them at the Israeli soldiers. But they are not Palestinian, they are Zionist Jews in disguise. And they suddenly turn around and begin shooting the Palestinians and beating and torturing them to death

Wow, the Israelis are using silencers to shoot hungry people dead now. Will the Western media still parrot the claim that they're firing "warning shots"?

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

You should watch the whole discussion between @ChrisVanHollen and Green Beret Anthony Agular, but this part really shocked me.

This is how Agular found out that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's client was the IDF.

At one of the distribution sites in Gaza, some starving kids had been lifted up onto a berm to save them from being crushed. An Israeli officer tells the GHF soldiers to get them down - or he would. Agular tells him to calm down, so the Israeli official radios the nearby IDF position to shoot the kids.

Agular intervened and prevented the murder.

One of his superiors then took him outside and told him to never say no to the "client" again...
