O comentarista suíço David Lemos, encerrou a transmissão resumindo com precisão os problemas desta Copa do Mundo, ele foi perfeito.

🗣️"Não há dúvidas de que esta foi a Copa do Mundo mais comercial da história e também uma das mais politizadas."

"Não esqueceremos os preços que pessoas sem grande poder aquisitivo tiveram de pagar para viver sua paixão pelo futebol."

"Em alguns casos, sequer puderam entrar no país por causa de sua nacionalidade, fossem torcedores, jornalistas ou até árbitros, como o somali Omar Artan."

"Também lembramos do tratamento inaceitável dado à seleção do Irã, que não pôde defender suas chances de forma adequada durante o torneio."

"E há ainda o caso de Folarin Balogun. Vimos um presidente se vangloriar de ter ligado para o presidente da FIFA para conseguir retirar a suspensão de um jogador."

"A política se infiltrou no coração do futebol, embora a FIFA afirme querer mantê-la acima de tudo. Fica claro que isso só vale até certo ponto."

"Foi uma Copa do Mundo em que todas as partidas foram disputadas em quatro tempos, e cuja final teve um intervalo de quase 30 minutos."

"A crise tem dois nomes: dinheiro e poder. Hoje existe uma crise de confiança entre muitos dos envolvidos no futebol e a FIFA."

"Nas próximas semanas, muito dinheiro será distribuído a diversas federações e a muitos agentes do futebol, que serão educadamente convidados a permanecer em silêncio."

"Esperamos que tudo isso seja levado em consideração e que não volte a acontecer."

@TimurNegru Worst information about travelling to Spain you can get!! Most of what you said is personal choice and only works with people looking to travel the same way. So much easier to travel by plane and get trains all around the country from north to south

Ask yourself: why have these three billionaires spent over $2 million dollars attacking me over the past 6 weeks.

Is it because I’m 1 of 435 votes?

No, it’s because I have been exposing the swamp and I will continue to do so as long as I’m in office.

Palantir, a CIA front company, now has its tentacles in the food supply, our healthcare data, our growing autonomous weapons industry, the military, the entire US intelligence community, border patrol, Space Force and so on.

Seemingly, Palantir is soon to become the testrun for Yarvins "sov-corp", a privatized version of govt that replaces the existing govt and is ruled by a CEO dictator. That is, unless we do something about it.

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies in Ukraine.

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🍿

Tucker Carlson called 🇬🇧 UK PM Keir Starmer as Israel’s slave on BBC 😭

🇬🇧 Journalist — Do you think Starmer made right calls regarding Iran war?

🇺🇸 Tucker — I don’t think Starmer makes any calls. He is a big slave of Israel just like 🇺🇸 Trump is 🤣

🇬🇧 Journalist — That’s not true

🇺🇸 Tucker — You can’t criticise Israel in UK, you can get arrested

🇬🇧 Journalist — Yes, because Palestine Action is a banned group

🇺🇸 Tucker — Exactly my point. Why is it banned in first place? 🤣

Look at the journalist, she was left shocked and fuming after this hammering. Absolute masterclass by Tucker 😂🔥

Wow — a massive sand portrait of Jesus with the crown of thorns, carved right into the sand at Playa La Concha in San Sebastián, Spain. 🏖️✝️
On one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches, an artist turned grains of sand into a powerful reminder.
Temporary art… eternal message. The waves will wash it away, but the impact stays.
What a way to share the faith in public! 🙏

If the phenomenon is real, 3 billion cameras were eventually going to catch it in daylight.

According to investigative journalist Whitney Webb: "One of the main reasons for this coordinated global push to develop digital IDs is because it's deemed essential to... Agenda 2030."

"Digital IDs are not really a separate project from CBDCs... CBDCs and digital IDs are meant to go together. And without digital IDs, the CBDC digital finance system cannot exist."

"They have to know who you are. And so they want to have your wallet tied to a digital ID, and have that digital ID be mapped to your physical ID through the biometric data collection."

"If you don't participate in digital ID, you won't have a legally recognised identity, you won't have rights, you won't be able to access services without it."

One more "funny" story about the Spanish administration. This one is very recent.

I purchased a small shop with squatters inside. I started the legal process to kick them out (BTW, you need a lawyer to do that, you can't file the paperwork without one). Six months later, the judge ruled in my favor.

But here comes the "funny" part.

The squatters needed to be legally notified of the judge's ruling, and they had 20 days after receiving the notification to appeal. But officially notifying someone in Spain is not like in the movies. You can’t just say, "Hey, are you John Smith? You’ve been served." The person receiving the notification needs to be legally identified, signature, ID, etc.

The squatters in my shop were undocumented immigrants, no papers, so technically the police could not identify them and therefore couldn't officially notify them.

The judge said it was the police's responsibility to notify the squatters. The police said there was no way to formally notify them without documentation. And this went on for months. MONTHS AFTER THE JUDGE HAD RULED IN MY FAVOR!

Eventually, the police were able to kick them out because they managed to collect proof that they were using the shop to sell drugs. It was part of a widespread mafia operation.

So I got my shop back, not because it was my property and it was illegally occupied, but because I was "lucky" that the dummies in there were selling drugs.

The entire thing lasted 18 months and cost 5K€ in legal fees, plus the cost of restoring the space after it was returned to me in a deplorable state (see the photos), plus all the months I was not able to use or rent the place.

I think cases like these are particularly delicate because they put the concept of private property on the line. And without the concept of private property, well, everything falls apart.
