[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Essentially what has happened is that the decaying political establishment has imported millions of migrants from alien cultures that are entirely incompatible with the British way of life.

Those migrants have colonised large parts of our country, and live their lives how they choose to do so because our authorities are too frightened of being called racist to challenge them.

That has meant attitudes have flourished and spread which, in short, treat women and non-Muslims like shit.

And yes, I do mean that.

Conservative, Labour and Reform politicians are all directly responsible for this vast importation. Personally, I will never forgive anyone responsible.

Vulnerable working class white girls were treated like a piece of meat. Raped, abused, tortured, murdered. It was a racial attack, and it was a coordinated attack. All across Britain.

They targeted these girls because they were vulnerable, they were young, they were white.

Until the political class accepts that fact, nothing will EVER change.

These men do not live by the same rules as us - it is all beyond evil. And this is a coordinated network of organised crime right across the country. It is not random groups of scumbags doing this. It is a network. Organised. Ruthless. Efficient. It is an industry.

This is not homegrown. We imported it. We welcomed it. Embraced it. We continue to do so.

That was a choice.

Reversing it is also a choice. One we will make.

A Restore Britain Government will remove millions of foreign nationals who hate our way of life and have no reason to be in our country. Gone, and never allowed back.

With the British people’s approval, we will reintroduce the death penalty.

If a Pakistani man has been gang-raping a young English girl? Torturing her? Passing her around his brothers to also be raped?

We will put him to death. And I look forward to that. I really do.

Our report has outlined exact recommendations on what needs to be done to eradicate this cancer.

A Restore Britain Government will deliver it.

We will use the full force of the British state to crack down on these rapists and their enablers in the most brutal fashion imaginable. It will be swift and ruthless. It will be done, finally.

And I include their enablers in that.

That is why Farage tried to put me in prison. Because I wanted to deport complicit foreign family members. He found that so very extreme - admitting it on national television. Simply remarkable.

Hearing the evidence and testimonies provided to our inquiry, I can assure you that I am holding a moderate position.

I want the scumbags gone. Deported. Never allowed back.

For the very worst among them, I want them permanently removed.

Restore Britain will get called extreme, racist, islamophobic and whatever else by the Guardian, Farage, Nadine Dorries, the BBC, the Daily Mail, Zack Polanski.

I do not give a shit.

I am just grateful that there is finally a political party with the courage to do what needs to be done.

We are going to get our country back.

We are going to Restore Britain.

Before they filmed a single scene of Dark, the two people who made it already knew how the whole story ended, three seasons away. They wrote the ending first and spent 26 episodes building back to it. Nothing feels like filler because almost nothing was invented along the way.

The show even runs on a single number: 33. Every time it jumps to a new year, it jumps exactly 33, from 1953 to 1986 to 2019 to 2052. The writers set that clock in the first hour and never broke it.

One man, Baran bo Odar, directed all 26 episodes, and his partner Jantje Friese has a writing credit on every one. A single director and one lead writer across a whole show is rare at this scale, and a big reason it never loses its grip. The story follows 72 characters across six different time periods. The same character is often played by three different actors at three different ages, picked to look like one face aging over a lifetime. Names get passed down the family tree on purpose, so you are never quite sure who is whose parent. The creators always knew where it had to end. They just kept moving the pieces until it got there.

The same care went into the look. The crew spent six months in the forests near Berlin through winter, in real cold and near-constant rain, so the cast stayed wet and shivering for most of it. They shot on the Alexa 65, a top-end movie camera usually saved for big films, because it can capture near-total darkness and still hold detail in the shadows, so the picture stays pitch black without becoming a muddy smear. The cave scenes were filmed in an actual cave in central Germany. In a town painted almost entirely grey, a single yellow raincoat became the one spot of real color your eye could lock onto in any era.

The final season went further still. To build a mirror version of the world, the crew flipped every set, so staircases curved the other way and doors moved to the opposite wall, and they reprinted the books on the shelves so the spines read backward. Then they had the actors do it all left-handed, reaching for handles with the wrong hand, which the director admitted was strange and clumsy to shoot.

They wrapped just before the pandemic and dropped the finale on June 27, 2020, the exact day the world ends inside the story. The reviews matched the ambition. Season two sits at a perfect 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the first and third at 90 and 97, and the series holds an 8.7 out of 10 on IMDb from more than half a million people. That unbroken wall of green in the screenshot comes from one choice made before filming began: lock the ending first, then build all 26 episodes to reach it.

@DanFriedman81 We all know who's going to play the new Bond. The modern day English man...

[André @Andre_Reasons]

@The_Big_Chifa_ Underrated. The last season is so bad that I always tell people to not watch it

[André @Andre_Reasons]

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @iranidaturan Exactly. In South Africa the petrol price has increased around 40% already.

@IIVHBJ @ukhomeoffice This is crazy. I've thought of this 'problem' for months now, and the only solution is a change of government

Kit Harington just confirmed that the most expensive character in TV history is now narratively worthless. And nobody's connecting the math.

Jon Snow generated an estimated $501 million in HBO subscription revenue based on screen time alone across eight seasons. He appeared in all 73 episodes. He was the emotional center of a franchise that produced $3.1 billion in subscription revenue and $6 billion in profit for Warner between 2015 and 2018. HBO came to Harington and said: build a show around this character. They spent two years trying. Two years of scripts and development on the single most bankable name in prestige television. And the guy who played him for a decade walked away and said "nothing excited us enough."

Think about what that means. HBO could not find one story worth telling about the character who carried the most profitable drama in cable history. The reason is sitting right there in the Season 8 finale. Benioff and Weiss wrote Jon into exile beyond the Wall with no political ties, no conflict, no relationships, no unresolved tension, and no source material to pull from. They gave him the narrative equivalent of a closed bank account. Every possible sequel has to start from: man stands in snow with no motivation, no antagonist, and no connection to the world that made people care about him.

Now look at what's actually working. House of the Dragon: set 200 years before the finale. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: 100 years before. The Aegon the Conqueror series: even further back. Sea Snake, 10,000 Ships, same direction. Every single surviving Westeros project runs away from Season 8's ending. The one attempt to go forward died in development.

1.7 million people signed a petition to remake that finale. HBO lost over half its 18-49 audience within a year of the show ending. And Benioff and Weiss rushed those final six episodes reportedly because they had a Star Wars deal waiting. They lost the Star Wars deal too.

Kit said he looked at photos from Season 8 and saw himself exhausted. He was. Everyone was. The show that averaged 43 million viewers per episode in its final season was running on fumes creatively while setting viewership records, which is the most dangerous combination in entertainment. Record audience, collapsing craft. The gap between those two lines is where franchise value goes to die.

HBO made the right call killing SNOW. But the reason they had to kill it is the actual story. Season 8 didn't just end Game of Thrones. It locked the entire franchise in reverse gear. The only safe direction for Westeros is backward, because two showrunners turned the forward timeline radioactive on their way out the door.

One of the child stars of HBO's new Harry Potter show just quit. She got the part last August. Nobody has seen her on screen yet. The show plans to keep the same kids on camera for the next ten years.

The plan, in HBO's own words, is one season per Harry Potter book, which works out to seven seasons over about a decade, filmed back to back. HBO chief Casey Bloys said the budget will match Game of Thrones, maybe a bit more. House of the Dragon, HBO's other big fantasy show, spent close to $200 million on its first season alone. HBO is building a permanent Hogwarts set on a UK lot called Leavesden Studios, plus an actual school next to it so the cast can keep up with their schoolwork between takes.

More than 30,000 kids tried out for Harry, Ron, and Hermione alone. They needed an audition pool that big because keeping the same kids on a show for ten years almost never works out. By UK law, child actors under 15 can only work a few hours a day, need a tutor on set, and need a fresh permit for every single shoot. Kids also grow at different speeds. Bloys himself said he didn't want a long gap between seasons because the cast would outgrow the roles.

Gracie Cochrane was cast as Ginny Weasley in August 2025. Filming on Season 1 finished a few weeks ago. Production on Season 2 starts this fall. The recast happened somewhere in the gap, and HBO has not said why. Her family used the phrase "unforeseen circumstances" and left it there.

The original movies faced the same kid-growing problem decades ago, and the production mostly got around it through luck and timing. They shot the eight films over a decade, but with long gaps between releases. The biggest cast change came when Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in the first two films, died in 2002. Michael Gambon took over. Everyone else made it through to the last movie. A TV show that has to film back to back, with around ten kids locked in at once, has nowhere near that kind of breathing room. One Weasley is already gone. Four more are still under contract.

The Harry Potter brand has earned about $35 billion across the books, the films, the toys, the theme parks, and the games. HBO is gambling that a brand-new TV version can pile more on top. The math only works if the cast holds.
