On this day in 2003, David Kelly, the man who tried to warn the world about the lies of the British government’s claims that Iraq possessed WMDs to justify the illegal invasion, was found dead.
He was one of Britain's most respected weapons experts and raised concerns that the government's case for war had been exaggerated.
The BBC reported that the infamous claim Iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes had been "sexed up" to strengthen the case for invasion. Dr. Kelly was identified as the source.
Just days later, on the 18th of July 2003, he was found dead near his home, the official story was that he had committed suicide. Many do not believe that narrative.
No stockpiles of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were ever found. David Kelly was proven right, as Iraq was smouldering in ruin.
1 million people were killed as a result of George W. Bush’s and Tony Blair’s lies. The entire region was destabilised, and ISIS and Al Qaeda rose as a result.

Iran claims that around 3,000 people were killed in riots it says were orchestrated and armed by the US, and it has published the names of those it says died in the US-backed insurgency. The US, by contrast, asserts that more than 40,000 people were killed in what it describes as a grassroots uprising.
Despite these sharply conflicting accounts, there has been no independent fact-finding process (names of victims that Iran allegedly omitted?) and little effort to facilitate open discussion to establish the truth. Instead, calls for transparency and verification are consistently dismissed outright, framed as denialism or labelled “pro-Iranian propaganda” that disrespects the victims. The premise is that caring about the victims of violence requires us to blindly trust the people who are very openly seeking to use this violence to legitimise wars that will kill thousands.
I am always amazed that there are grown-up people who buy into the notion that the US and NATO pursue foreign policies based on helping the oppressed people of the world, as opposed to dressing up geopolitics in the language of empathy and human rights.
In every war, we are denied a serious discussion and are instead placed into camps of “pro-this” or “anti-that” based on our willingness to repeat government talking points, while those shedding crocodile tears replace facts and arguments with emotional slogans and moralistic narratives.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷US: "Dear Iranians, we have come to liberate you from the evil oppressive Regime which is trying to kill you."
Two weeks later:
US: "Dear Iranians, sorry, Plan A didn't work. Plan B is we bomb you into the Stone Age."
🚨 Heartbreaking scene shows an Iranian man returning home after a US-Israeli strike on a residential area, only to discover his wife and daughter among the victims.
Retweet and share and expose US war crimes if there's a bit of Humanity left.
This satanic sacrifice must End.
Trump: "We're gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong". Keep in mind that an initial justification for the war was to "help" Iranians.

Restore Britain’s policy on lockdown is clear. It was the darkest time in recent British history, a time where our freedoms were trampled over all in the name of bent ‘science’.
For some COVID, was a dangerous disease. And the full power of the state should have been deployed to protect those people. The elderly, the vulnerable.
Instead of spending hundreds of billions of closing our economy down, sentencing thousands of young healthy people to death and ruining tens of millions of lives - we should have protected those two groups, the elderly and the vulnerable, with everything that we had.
If we could shut the country down, we could have had protected those in genuine danger. Obviously.
Millions of youngsters had years ripped away from them. Lives destroyed. For what? To avoid getting a nasty cough?
Sweden was right. Tegnell was right. We should have followed their lead.
A Restore Britain Government would take steps to reverse the damage, as much as possible.
All criminal convictions for non-violent breaches of lockdown rules would be overturned and quashed. Nobody will have a criminal record for breaking laws that should have never existed in the first place. Every related fine will be refunded.
Restore Britain MPs will issue a formal statement and apology from Parliament, recognising the damage lockdowns caused to the families, businesses and our society.
The British state got it wrong. We will admit that.
Targeted amendments to existing laws will be passed, making it illegal to suspend basic freedoms without ultra-intensive parliamentary oversight and strict time limits.
Tax breaks to the most affected industries will be implemented - people forget that the damage continues today. Particularly for hospitality. We will help.
We will remove all remaining COVID relics from this country. Every social distancing sign will be torn down, every two metre sticker will be scrubbed away. I detest seeing it all.
An independent commission filled with overseas experts will be established to review all SAGE communications, predictions and data used to justify lockdown. We will ask Anders Tegnell to head that commission. We will release all modelling and all communications, unredacted, and aim to prosecute anyone who deliberately distorted the statistics to push a damaging pro-lockdown agenda.
Restore Britain will launch a full, independent inquiry into the COVID vaccine - how it was approved, and how it was forced on the entire healthy population. How did ministers like Reform’s Zahawi even dare to suggest that children can overrule their parents in order to take the vaccine? It is sick.
The current vaccine compensation scheme will be scrapped, and we will open a new system which speeds up claims, increases the amount paid and has no inbuilt bias. To those people who lost their lives because of the COVID vaccine, and there have been many, the state will properly compensate those families. Properly compensate.
And, for what is worth which is very little, the state will apologise.
Vaccine passports. Sick. Sick. Sick. The most evil policy inflicted on the British people - all supported by Conservative, Reform and Labour politicians.
I didn’t take the COVID vaccine, I felt I didn’t need it. That was my choice. I was prepared to have my life disrupted. Millions of others though felt blackmailed into receiving that jab to go on holiday or whatever else. Anyone involved in the implementation of that scheme should be ashamed of themselves - including many of the politicians in Reform's top team.
State workers who lost their jobs because of vaccine mandates will be properly compensated. What happened to them was wrong, and Restore Britain will fix it.
We will be honest with the British people about what happened in 2020 and 2021.
Lockdown was the biggest scandal of modern times.
Restore Britain will have the courage to finally admit that, and take steps to rectify the vast damage caused.
There is now a serious political party willing to face up to the truth. I hope you consider supporting us.
Vaccine passports. I remember them well. I thought it was the most hideous, disgusting policy I could remember from Government for a VERY long time.
The jab. It should always have been a free and informed choice. A FULLY free and informed choice.
Show us the benefits, show us the harms - and there were many harms. Tell us. Then let grown men and women make their own minds up. Like adults.
Instead, we got Reform's newest recruit Zahawi as the minister responsible forcing vaccine passports on the population.
If you didn't have the jab, you were a second class citizen. That simple. It was vile. Utterly evil.
We knew the vaccines did not prevent transmission. That was absolutely bleeding obvious to all of us. So why did Zahawi and others demand a full double vaccination?
It was to force the population to have that vaccine. That is why. No other reason. It wasn't about protecting anyone. It was about making life so uncomfortable for those of us with concerns, that we would have to take the vaccine. It was sick.
I really, really hated lockdowns. With a passion. And I detested how those vaccines were forced on millions of healthy people who had absolutely NO need for it. It was truly the darkest period I can ever remember.
Those responsible should be held accountable.
Reform taking in Zahawi is a huge mistake.
Trump just went through line by line about money that America has been shoveling out to other countries:
"THIS IS ALL FRAUD"
The news will never show this stuff, make it viral! Americans have got to know this stuff!
Who is confirming that gold wasn’t stolen from Fort Knox?
Maybe it’s there, maybe it’s not.
That gold is owned by the American public! We want to know if it’s still there.
ALERT: BREAKING: 🚨 CHERNOBYL ATTACKED: NUCLEAR FALSE FLAG: DESPERATE UKRAINE RESORTS TO DANGEROUS PROVOCATIONS TO DERAIL PEACE TALKS! 🚨
🔴 A strike at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant has occurred—a blatant provocation. Russia has no reason to target the sarcophagus of Chernobyl, especially now. But Zelensky is desperate to disrupt the predetermined peace deal between Putin and Trump.
🔴 Think logically: Until now, no one has attacked Chernobyl. Yet, on the eve of peace talks—where Western media claims Putin might pressure Trump—suddenly, Russia commits this "stupidity"? Do they think we're all fools?
🔴 It's clear: The plan is for Western media to amplify this event to prevent the inevitable—peace talks that will force Ukraine to surrender territory and hold elections.
🔥 KYIV'S DESPERATION KNOWS NO BOUNDS! 🔥
📢 WHAT THIS MEANS:⚠️ The current leadership in Kyiv is acting irrationally, resorting to extreme measures to save themselves. ⚠️ This UAV strike on Chernobyl's sarcophagus is a reckless move, potentially endangering all of Europe. ⚠️ As negotiations progress, expect more provocations from this cornered regime.
💥 Zelensky and his cohorts are like cornered rats, their judgment clouded, willing to do anything to survive. This is just the beginning—provocations will escalate as the negotiations unfold. 💥
🚨 THE WORLD MUST SEE THROUGH THIS DESPERATE PLOY AND HOLD THE TRUE CULPRITS ACCOUNTABLE! 🚨
