Let this video be a warning to everyone who voted for the clowns cosplaying as councillors, ie. @reformparty_uk. This is just one example of a council run by Reform in Gateshead. It's a shit show, there's no other ways to describe this. I recommend you follow the guy on tiktok as he posts updates from council meetings, if you can call them that. #ReformUK #gateshead #clownsexposed #ReformAreNotYourFriends

This man is a troll who says that any election won by Democrats is "stolen." He also oversees national election security for Homeland Security.

He's been pushing the ridiculous "California fraud" narrative.

He studied at Moscow State University. 1/

We do not support AI centres, we definitely didn't vote for them.. do you people research anything before you support it? AI centre of 300 MW would need 6 Rolls Royce mini nuclear modules to power it, they cant have power disruption, any power shortages we would be cut off not AI..They have significantly increased energy cost in Ireland, they need massive amounts of water..uk hasnt built a reservoir in 30 years, their water consumption will affect farming. REFORM voters do not support AI centres..

@Tynorthside has made FIVE posts in FIFTEEN YEARS. And is now exploiting @bbcquestiontime for clicks and presumably (?) revenue. @BBC any chance of following this up with @X ? Reported for spam and blocked.

Farage is being open about setting up his own Gestapo. And people say he’s not a facist? 🙄

Anyone who has lived with noise nuisance will tell you that it is the domino that sends matters over the edge. I expect there to be a major incident in the US over this in the near future; I don’t condone it, but it will happen.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!

She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!

Yet to hear anyone in the UK discussing this. What would be the implications for European defence?

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right again about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the United States military with the IDF.

Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the United States to compromise its own security for Benjamin Netanyahu's demands.

"The difference between a conspiracy theory in Washington has been reduced from six months to six days."

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

This is your reminder that JD Vance is the lapdog of Peter Thiel, a multi billionaire tech bro whose ideology involves the complete removal of democracy, in favour of a technocracy.

This is your reminder that Vance was linked to Georgescu in Romania who was arrested for collusion with Russia.

This is your reminder that Nathan Gill, Reform’s leader in Wales, was jailed for ten years for taking Russian bribes.

This is your reminder that the British frontman for MAGA is Nigel Farage.

This is your reminder that the US government has fallen to authoritarian far right extremism and is openly engaging in foreign interference.

This is your warning that tech billionaires are the only dangerous minority that anybody who calls themselves a patriot should be concerned about.

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

Eyes of Hate - a candid photo of Goebbels after finding out his photographer was Jewish, 1933 ....

Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels was cheerful and without a care when he first met photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.

In a close-up image, the Third Reich politician was caught off guard smiling at the League of Nations meeting in Geneva in September 1933. But when Goebbels found out LIFE magazine photographer Eisenstaedt was Jewish his expression was quite different. Subsequently, when Eisenstaedt approached Goebbels for a candid portrait, the politician’s expression was very, very different.

Instead of smiling, he scowled for the camera, and the famous photo that resulted shows the man wearing “eyes of hate”. His tense posture transmits an almost palpable enmity.

In the 1985 book, “Eisenstaedt on Eisenstaedt: A Self-Portrait”, the then-87-year-old photographer discussed how the Goebbels picture came about:

I found him sitting alone at a folding table on the lawn of the hotel. I photographed him from a distance without him being aware of it. As documentary reportage, the picture may have some value: it suggests his aloofness.

Later I found him at the same table surrounded by aides and bodyguards. Goebbels seemed so small, while his bodyguards were huge. I walked up close and photographed Goebbels. It was horrible.

He looked up at me with an expression full of hate. The result, however, was a much stronger photograph. There is no substitute for close personal contact and involvement with a subject, no matter how unpleasant it may be.

He looked at me with hateful eyes and waited for me to wither. But I didn’t wither. If I have a camera in my hand, I don’t know fear.

But how did Goebbels found out that the photographer was Jewish?

No one knows for sure but maybe the surname is what gave it away and Eisenstädt is a distinctly Jewish surname. It’s entirely possible that Goebbels was told his name and drew the easy conclusion that he was Jewish or at least of Jewish heritage.

A quote from Joseph Goebbels’s diary showing his hatred toward Jews: “The Jews are now being deported to the east.

A fairly barbaric procedure, not to be described in any greater detail, is being used here, and not much more remains of the Jews themselves.

In general, it can probably be established that 60 percent of them must be liquidated, while only 40 percent can be put to work […] A judgment is being carried out on the Jews which is barbaric, but fully deserved”.

@Baddiel Have so few have read ‘The Crimson Petal and the White’? Their loss. A novel twenty years in the writing that actually made me think about giving up reading novels. You can read Victorian fiction but nothing prepares you for being there, walking its streets with Faber as a guide.

There are plenty of world-class L0ngC0vid experts far smarter than I am.

But I bring something they don’t: I’m a CV surgeon and endovascular specialist. I’ve had hearts, lungs, arteries, and other organs literally in my hands. I’ve seen their insides, healthy and ravaged, with my own eyes.

That gives me one brutal, irreplaceable edge: I can take the science and translate it straight into the living, bleeding reality of human anatomy.

And what I see coming is ugly.

You, personally and as a society, are in for one hell of a shock.

If you keep minimising SARSCoV2, refuse to protect yourselves, and keep swallowing the lies of pseudo-experts chasing money or psychiatrists salivating over a fresh FND goldmine… you’re walking straight into disaster.

Tell every last one of them to https://t.co/rw58iRjUf4 off!

Then follow the hard, unfolding science.👇

Your organs don’t care about opinions. They only care about damage. And the damage is already stacking up, be it momentarily maybe still clinically "silent"! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections

37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.
