The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images

Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph revealed the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people

The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".

In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.

That was the only way that "nature" could win.

However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.

The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.

The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear

This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.

Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"

Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.

The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.

Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.

Saritha Komatireddy JUST STEAMROLLED Letitia James in this debate!🔥🔥🔥

Saritha Komatireddy: “New York spends $126 billion on Medicaid every year. That’s more per resident than any other state in the country, and twice as much per resident as New Jersey. That doesn’t make any sense. We’re both blue states with similar demographics and similar policies.

There’s about $40 billion in unexplained spending that Letitia James has failed to investigate.

We used to have one of the best Medicaid fraud units in the country under previous Democratic attorneys general. We recovered about $250 million a year. Letitia James came in, and it took a nosedive to $19 million.

Under previous Democratic attorneys general, we secured about 100 criminal convictions a year. Under Letitia James, that number hit an all-time low of eight.

She gets 2,000 patient abuse complaints a year and secures maybe one or two convictions. That means someone could be punching an elderly patient in a nursing home, and no one is doing anything.”

This is extremely difficult to accept. The charges against a 12-year-old accused of participating in the horrific group assault on Van Viet Truong weren’t withdrawn because prosecutors concluded nothing happened, they were withdrawn because prosecutors concluded they could not overcome doli incapax; the legal presumption applying to children under 14, by proving that this particular 12-year-old understood his alleged actions were seriously or morally wrong. Well, I certainly knew at 12 years old that violently attacking another human being was seriously wrong. I suspect most Australians will ask whether our law is setting the threshold for criminal responsibility in the right place. Van Viet Truong went to help another person and he suffered catastrophic injuries and died. His family deserves real justice.

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

I see a lot of Democrats are VERY angry about the public execution of a convicted terrorist and murderer.

If you are one of those Democrats, I think I know how to change your mind. Just pretend he’s a popular Christian activist who debated college kids. You loved that execution.

[Dave Hughes @DHughesy]

Sonja, respectfully, does anyone at @victorianlabor understand that the taxpayer funded construction jobs come with insanely inflated, economically suicidal, salaries that no private builder can compete with. Thus private builders lose their best workers. Also on the taxpayer funded sites the workers are ordered to work slow because ‘more days, more pays’.
So every build is triple what they should cost. Your Government set the contracts up so that the only people who lose on the extraordinarily overpriced builds are taxpayers. The motto is ‘Everyone eats on the Big Build’, the international companies make a fortune, the union bosses get crazy rich, the workers do a third of the work for triple the money that they would get in private sector. Public hospital doctors went on strike Friday over money. They get half the pay of an unskilled labourer on a taxpayer funded site. So many hospital beds in new hospitals remain unused because the @victorianlabor government has allowed so much taxpayer money to be stolen on the construction of these hospitals and this is only one area that your government has burnt billions of dollars of taxpayer money over the last twelve years. The executive segment of the public service in Victoria has gone from 600 people to 2000 people since @victorianlabor took charge in 2014. Their salaries range between 350k & $1000000 per year. No one thinks public services have improved in the last 12 years. Happy for you or anyone in @victorianlabor Government to publicly discuss above with me, or anyone. Thanks for your time.

Dans 50 ans, les livres d'histoire diront qu'Elon Musk a gagné une guerre que personne ne savait qu'on était en train de perdre.

Une guerre commencée il y a 100 ans, dans une cellule de prison italienne.

En 1926, Mussolini fait arrêter un intellectuel sarde de 35 ans. Au procès, le procureur aurait dit : « Nous devons empêcher ce cerveau de fonctionner pendant vingt ans. »

Il s'appelait Antonio Gramsci.

Son cerveau n'a jamais cessé de fonctionner. En prison, il a rempli des milliers de pages qui sont devenues l'un des textes politiques les plus influents du XXe siècle. Je pense qu'on est en train de vivre le moment où sa théorie s'effondre.

Laissez-moi vous expliquer.

Gramsci se posait une question simple. Pourquoi la révolution communiste a-t-elle réussi en Russie mais échoué partout en Occident ?

Sa réponse : en Occident, le pouvoir ne tient pas seulement par l'État, la police et l'armée. Il tient par la culture. Par ce que les gens trouvent normal, évident, « de bon sens ». Il appelle ça l'hégémonie culturelle.

Donc, pour prendre le pouvoir, il ne faut pas d'abord prendre le palais. Il faut d'abord prendre les esprits. Les écoles. Les universités. Les journaux. Le théâtre. L'édition. Les tribunaux. C'est la « guerre de position » : une conquête lente, institution par institution. Quand la culture a basculé, la politique suit toute seule.

Quarante ans plus tard, l'activiste allemand Rudi Dutschke en fera un slogan : la longue marche à travers les institutions.

Pendant des décennies, on a vécu avec une énigme que personne n'arrivait vraiment à expliquer.

Pourquoi presque tous les artistes sont-ils de gauche ? Les acteurs, les chanteurs, les profs, les journalistes, une bonne partie de la magistrature. Pourquoi un pays pouvait voter à droite élection après élection et voir quand même sa culture parler d'une seule voix ?

On nous répondait : « c'est parce que les gens éduqués sont de gauche. »

Je crois que la réponse est plus simple. Gramsci avait écrit la recette, et elle a été appliquée. Quand tu contrôles qui obtient la subvention, le poste, la bonne critique, le prix, l'invitation sur le plateau, tu contrôles ce qui devient « la culture ».

La même énigme existait à l'échelle du monde.

Pourquoi tant de pays en développement, notamment en Amérique latine, revotaient-ils encore et encore pour des gouvernements socialistes ou de gauche radicale ? Venezuela, Bolivie, Nicaragua, l'Argentine des Kirchner, la Colombie de Petro. L'économie s'effondrait, les cartels prospéraient, le chaos s'installait. Et pourtant le même vote revenait.

Ma conviction : la pauvreté n'était pas un accident du système. C'était un électorat. Et autour, il y avait tout un écosystème d'ONG, de médias « indépendants » et de programmes de « société civile », financé en grande partie par l'argent occidental.

Puis, début 2025, il s'est passé quelque chose que personne n'avait jamais osé faire.

Elon et DOGE ont ouvert les livres de USAID. Une agence quasi intouchable depuis 1961, des dizaines de milliards de dollars par an. La grande majorité des programmes ont été coupés, et l'agence a été absorbée par le Département d'État.

Le robinet a été fermé.

Et regardez ce qui s'est passé depuis.

Bolivie : le MAS perd le pouvoir après presque vingt ans. Équateur : Noboa réélu. Honduras : la droite reprend le pays. Chili : Kast élu. Argentine : Milei remporte largement les élections de mi-mandat.

Et il y a deux jours, le Brésil.

Jair Bolsonaro est inéligible, condamné à 27 ans de prison. La gauche pensait avoir refermé le chapitre. Lula, 80 ans, briguait un quatrième mandat face à un pays qu'on disait acquis.

Dimanche, son fils Flávio est arrivé en tête du premier tour. Plus de 47 % contre près de 45 % pour Lula. Lula lui-même a reconnu un résultat « inattendu ».

Le plus grand pays d'Amérique latine est à un second tour de basculer.

Le plus grand virage à droite du continent depuis des décennies.

Coïncidence ? Je ne crois pas. Quand le financement disparaît, le récit perd ses haut-parleurs.

Il reste un dernier vrai bastion. L'Europe.

Bruxelles finance ses propres réseaux d'ONG, avec une opacité que même la Cour des comptes européenne a pointée. Les grandes fondations comme l'Open Society de Soros. Les entités supranationales qui produisent de la norme sans jamais passer devant un électeur.

C'est la dernière forteresse de l'hégémonie culturelle. Et elle commence à se fissurer.

Je suis convaincu que tout ça va s'effondrer, et plus vite qu'on ne le pense.

Gramsci avait raison sur un point essentiel : la culture précède la politique. Mais il avait oublié que ça marche dans les deux sens. Quand une culture artificielle perd ses perfusions, ce qu'il y a de vrai en dessous remonte à la surface.

Ce qui vient après, je crois que c'est une renaissance. Une culture qui recommence à aimer la beauté, l'ambition, la science, la civilisation qui l'a fait naître.

Et dans les livres d'histoire, on se souviendra que tout a commencé quand un homme a décidé de regarder les comptes.

Il fallait quelqu'un d'assez riche pour ne dépendre de personne, d'assez fou pour s'y attaquer et d'assez libre pour encaisser la haine qui allait suivre.

Merci Elon.

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

In Milgram’s obedience experiment, 65% of participants followed orders all the way to the maximum 450-volt shock, which they believed they were administering to another person.

But in a variation where two fellow participants refused to continue, 90% resisted. So they had to observe someone else non complying. Resisting to engage in that atrocity.

Then the noncompliance skyrocketed to 90%. All you had to do was observe someone else say, no, I am not going to do that. And now it provided permission for others to resist it.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

In the wake of their devastating, nationwide, unexpectedly crushing defeat, The Brazilian Left -- just like the Democratic Party does after they lose -- is now attacking the voters themselves, saying they're too stupid to realize how much Lula did for them. Some, of course, are saying they lost because Brazilian voters are racists and Nazis, but most are going with the "stupidity" excuse.

Maybe some self-reflection would be better?

[Will Shackel @ShackelWill]

Do they not get that the richter scale is logarithmic?

Nuclear plants are designed to withstand earthquakes thousands of times more severe than the 4.8 magnitude earthquake on Saturday in Melbourne.

Even the Fukushima reactors from the 1970s withstood the 9.0 earthquake, it was the tsunami breaching the low seawall that caused that accident.

Australia is one of the most stable continents on earth, scaremongering like this is a pathetic distraction.

Our Governments need to fuck off out of the economy. Communism doesn’t work. How many lessons from history do you need to realise this?

[Greg Pennefather @jakkafather]

Did you conveniently forget 2 important facts? First, the 5 decades preceding your 3 (great leap forward, cultural revolution, the death of tens of millions of people etc), and, secondly, the reason for 800 million people being lifted out of poverty - the introduction of a market economy.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

What we are witnessing in Brazil is the biggest political backfire in modern political history.

Communist tyrants came after Brazil’s Trump, Jair Bolsonaro.

He survived an assassination attempt.
They banned him from running for office.
Then they threw him in jail.

They accused him of attempting a coup after his election was stolen, just like they did here to Trump.

He’s currently serving a 27 year prison sentence.

The response: His wife won a Senate seat. His son Carlos won a Senate seat. His son Renan won a seat in Congress. His son Flávio is ahead of Lula for president of Brazil.

His son could unseat the very tyrant who threw him in jail.

The persecution of Bolsonaro has backfired into a political retribution against those who weaponized Government against the people's will.

You might be able to try to silence a man but you cannot silence a movement.

Since 2019, Illinois ranks near the bottom among states on all three metrics. Population growth from 2020-2025 was -0.8% (47th, per Census data). Real GDP growth since 2019 was 7.9% (46th, vs. 17.6% nationally). Total nonfarm job growth was about 0.75-0.9% (43rd-44th), with most gains in government rather than private sector.

You can't possibly be this stupid. The nucleoside modified mRNA that encodes the spike protein - a foreign toxic protein - is wrapped in a lipid nanoparticle for the purpose of transfecting cells meaning that those nucleic acids get dumped into the cell for the translation of that nucleoside-modified mRNA. Do you get it now?
