You seem unfamiliar with London’s Jewish community.

Visit the Jewish neighborhoods in London and the surrounding areas. You will find thousands of Orthodox Jews openly wearing full traditional Orthodox clothing, kippahs , hats, shtreimels , and religious garments every day without hiding who they are.

There is no need to pretend that visibly Jewish people are absent from the streets of London.

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

Following the confirmation of the designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, the question that any of us of any background can ask ourselves, is do we now feel more safe or less safe?

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

The case for Labour to introduce a wealth tax has never been stronger.

99% of us are paying, in total, 40% to 50% tax on our incomes, billionaires are paying 25% at most.

2% levy on fortunes above £100m could begin to reverse decades of rising inequality

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This Governments branding of protest as 'terrorism' has seen grandparents arrested and dragged through the courts simply for holding up signs.

It's deeply authoritarian when people are speaking out against a genocide and for a free Palestine.

[UN Human Rights Palestine @OHCHR_Palestine]

Most Palestinians in Gaza are displaced. Between 7 October 2023 and 31 May 2025, @OHCHR_Palestine documented:
💠144 Israeli displacement orders
💠Expanding “no‑go” zones covering over 80% of Gaza
💠Destruction of homes and civilian infrastructure indispensable to life
💠Statements by Israeli officials advocating permanent removal of Palestinians
Displaced Palestinians have scant prospects of return, raising concerns about ethnic cleansing and forcible transfer.

A REAL HOLOCAUST.

Thousands of children’s shoes were displayed in the Netherlands to honor the Palestinian children killed in Gaza by Israel.

Local Jewish organizations had the nerve to oppose the memorial, arguing that the display could increase antisemitism.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

Protesters gathered outside Edgware United Synagogue in London on Sunday to demonstrate against the "Great Israeli Real Estate Event" being held inside, where companies advertise land for sale in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Rights groups, activists and more than 100 British MPs have been calling on the UK government to cancel the event due to its connection to illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine.

Paul, a Jewish protester told Middle East Eye: "I'm a practicing, very proud Jew, who sees what's going on between Israel and the Palestinians as an abomination of Judaism."
