@ichoosemag Great views. Horrible service and food

This is heavy but important.

An Israeli combat medic named Daniel Elbo Arama shares what he saw treating a young woman right after the October 7 attacks.
She was barely clothed, covered in blood, and begged him for help.

In the ambulance she told him she had been raped by four terrorists. The bleeding was so bad they had to use medications normally given for gunshot wounds. She needed hours of surgery afterward.

Daniel has worked in emergency response for twenty years, including in conflict zones, but he says this day will stay with him forever.

Raw testimony like this shows exactly what happened that day.

We can’t forget.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

I haven't forgotten about him.

His name was Kfir Bibas, and he was 8 months old when he was murdered by Gazan terrorists in a dark underground tunnel, alongside his brother and mother.

I'll never let the world forget.

Palestinian students at UNRWA schools:

“Stabbing Jews brings dignity to the Palestinians. We have to stab the Jews. They teach us that Jews are terrorists. I am ready to stab a jew and drive a car over them. I am ready to join ISIS.”

Does this seem like a normal society to you?

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Remember the European Hospital in Khan Younis last May?

Israel struck a targeted site there, and the world lost its mind.

Palestinians denied any tunnel existed underneath. The UN and European governments rushed to condemn Israel for attacking a “hospital.” Outrage, headlines, accusations of war crimes… the usual script.

Then June came.

The IDF took international media into the very same location and showed them the tunnel… a full Hamas command center, right under the emergency room.

Weapons, rooms, infrastructure. And yes, that’s where they found and confirmed the body of Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’s top military commander and brother of Yahya Sinwar.

The strike that killed one of the architects of October 7 was surgically precise, and entirely justified.

Under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, hospitals and other medical facilities lose their protected status when they are used for military purposes, such as command centers, weapon storage, or troop movements. By deliberately turning the European Hospital into a Hamas base, the terrorists themselves stripped it of any legal protection.

Not a single apology from the UN or the European governments that rushed to condemn Israel. Not one admission they were wrong. They simply moved on to the next round of accusations.

This is the pattern. Hamas hides its terror infrastructure under civilian sites, uses hospitals as shields, and the international community reliably attacks the defender for responding, only to be proven wrong again and again and again when the evidence emerges.

How many times does this have to happen before the world stops falling for it?

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

This is one of the most disturbing stories you’ll ever hear about the decades-old Israel-Gaza conflict.

A Gazan girl severely burned herself as a child. Israelis treated her for years, saved her life, gave her a college degree in prison after she tries (and fails) to blow up the very hospital that healed her.

Then when asked if she’d do it again?

“Absolutely. I almost tasted paradise.”

No redemption. No gratitude. Just pure jihadist ideology.

This is what Palestinianism is.

This is why moral clarity matters.

@RoyLilley I always remember him during the height of the Covid crisis visiting the busy vaccination centre where I worked surrounded by senior managers. He didn’t speak to one member of the vaccination team.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Breaking: Muslim terrorists just stormed a Christian village in Nigeria and unleashed pure demonic savagery on innocent families who couldn’t run fast enough to escape.

They captured pregnant women and hacked their bellies open with machetes — forcing the young women to witness their own unborn babies die right in front of them as they succumbed to fatal stab wounds.

All because they were Christians who refused to convert to Islam.

No one in the international community, UN, EU, ICC, or ICJ seems to care. Not even Christian leaders in the West.

Please pray for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria.

Ben Habib to Paul Thorpe on donations to Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson from foreign based billionaire Christopher Harborne,

"Christopher Harborne had always told me that he wanted Brexit.. He donated £14,000,000 to the Brexit party"

"Then we discover this £5,000,000 payment that Farage took in 2024"

"In 2023, the same Christopher Harborne gave £1,000,000 to Boris Johnson"

"And he also paid Nigel Farage £1,000,000 in 2022"

"The 2019 General Election was sewn up between Nigel Farage, Christopher Harborne and Boris Johnson, and it was a monetary deal, that's how I see it"

[Mossad Commentary @MOSSADil]

Hamas Commanders:
“Our fight is not only about Palestine. Our mission is to kill every non-Muslim on earth. We will hunt down Jews and Christians wherever they are in the world. They will either convert to Islam - or WE WILL KILL THEM.���

In NYC, fellow Islamofacists chant, “We are Hamas,” while their sympathizers justify this as “resistance.”

NHS TOLD A DETECTIVE TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. THE BABIES WERE DYING.

Dr Maxwell McLean (@1MaxMclean) spent 30 years as a West Yorkshire Police detective superintendent solving serious crimes. In 2019 he became Chair of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (@BTHFT). He thought his job was to hold leadership to account. @NHS had other ideas.

By 2021 he had clocked something alarming. The Trust was taking 14 months to investigate three preventable newborn deaths. The national target is 60 days.

He escalated internally. He went to NHS England (@NHSEngland). He went to the Care Quality Commission (@CQCProf). Both of them looked at the preventable deaths of babies and collectively decided to do absolutely nothing.

McLean commissioned an independent review himself. It confirmed every single concern he had raised. Within two weeks of the board receiving that report, they handed him an ultimatum: resign or be dismissed. He resigned. Then he took them to Leeds Employment Tribunal.

The Trust's response was to argue he was not a worker and therefore had no whistleblowing protections at all. A hospital chair, governing a trust responsible for half a million people, was being told he was essentially a volunteer with no rights.

In February 2025 an Employment Judge disagreed. The ruling was landmark: NHS Trust Chairs are workers under employment law. The full hearing continues.

The CEO who McLean raised concerns about remains in post.

NHS England and the CQC, who were told babies were dying and chose silence, remain in post.

Freedom to speak up, the NHS calls it. Maxwell McLean calls it a sham. The tribunal judge appears to be the only one in this story who did their job.

SHE REPORTED FRAUD AT ONE OF BRITAIN'S BIGGEST COMPANIES. NOBODY CARED. THEN IT ALL COLLAPSED.

Emma Mercer started her new finance job at Carillion in early 2017. Six weeks in, she found something that made her stomach drop.

The books were wrong. Costs were being hidden. Profits were being made to look bigger than they were. On projects worth hundreds of millions of pounds, the numbers simply did not match reality.

She told her boss. He brushed her off. She told the CEO. Same response. She went to HR because she had run out of people willing to listen.

A board member later described her in writing as a whistleblower who did not feel she was listened to.

She was right about everything. Every single thing.

But instead of launching an independent investigation, the board quietly scrapped the idea of outside scrutiny and handed the job back to @KPMG, the company's own auditors.

The same firm that had been signing off Carillion's accounts as healthy for 19 consecutive years. The same firm collecting £29 million in fees from the very company it was supposed to be independently checking.

MP Frank Field said it plainly in Parliament. KPMG were asked to mark their own homework.

They gave it top marks.

Eight months after Emma Mercer raised the alarm, Carillion collapsed. January 2018. The biggest compulsory liquidation in British history.

Here is what that actually meant for real people:

3,000 workers lost their jobs overnight. 28,500 people in Carillion's pension schemes saw their retirement savings cut. A £2.6 billion pension black hole left ordinary workers worse off for years.

Taxpayers handed over £150 million just to keep hospitals, schools and prisons running while the mess was cleaned up.

Meanwhile, Carillion's former Finance Director Richard Adam sold every single share he owned on the day the 2016 annual report was published. He walked away with £750,000. The shares were worthless months later.

It took the regulator five years to act. When it finally did, KPMG was fined £21 million, a record. Investigators also discovered KPMG staff had faked meeting minutes and altered spreadsheets to deceive the regulator during its inspection. The lead audit partner was banned from the profession for 10 years.

The fine was less than what KPMG earned from Carillion.

One woman told the truth in her first six weeks on the job. She was ignored, sidelined and described as a problem. The executives who ignored her kept their bonuses. The auditors who backed them up kept their fees. The workers who had nothing to do with any of it paid the price.

This is how British corporate accountability works.

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

In 1984, Ruth Coker Burks was 25 years old, visiting a friend at a hospital in Little Rock, when she noticed nurses drawing straws outside a patient's room. Someone had to go in. She didn't wait for the straws. She opened the door herself. What she found inside would define the next decade of her life. 🕯️**

Inside was a young man reduced to bones — maybe 80 pounds, dying alone, terrified. He kept whispering one word.

*"Mama."*

Ruth told the nurses to call his mother.

They laughed.

*"Honey, we've called. He's been here six weeks. Nobody's coming."*

Ruth made them give her the number. She tried one last time.

The mother's answer was cold and final: her son was sinful, already dead to her, and she would not be coming.

So Ruth went back into that room. She took his hand. She stayed.

For 13 hours, she held the hand of a dying stranger, promising him he wouldn't leave this world alone.

When he died, his family refused to claim the body.

Ruth decided she would bury him herself.

She owned plots in her family cemetery in Hot Springs — where her father and grandparents rested. The nearest funeral home willing to handle an AIDS death was 70 miles away. Ruth paid from her own pocket. A local potter gave her a chipped cookie jar for an urn.

She used posthole diggers to dig the grave herself.

She spoke kind words over the earth because no minister would come to pray over a man who died of AIDS.

Ruth thought that would be the end.

It was the beginning.

Word traveled through the quiet networks of fear and desperation across Arkansas.

*There's a woman in Hot Springs who isn't afraid. There's a woman who will sit with you. There's a woman who will make sure you're buried with dignity when your own family won't claim you.*

They started arriving. Dying young men from rural hospitals across the state, abandoned by the people who were supposed to love them most.

Over the next decade, Ruth Coker Burks cared for more than 1,000 people dying of AIDS.

She personally buried 40 of them in Files Cemetery — digging the graves herself, with her young daughter beside her carrying a small spade, holding their own funerals because no one else would speak over these graves.

Of those 1,000 people, only a handful of families didn't abandon their dying children.

Ruth called parents. Begged them to come say goodbye. To claim their child's body.

Most refused.

*"Who knew,"* she said, *"there'd come a time when parents didn't want to bury their own children?"*

But she also witnessed something else — something that stayed with her.

She watched gay men care for dying partners with a devotion that shattered every stereotype. She watched a terrified community take care of its own — and take care of her.

*"They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here'd come the money. That's how we bought medicine. That's how we paid rent. If it hadn't been for the drag queens, I don't know what we would have done."*

By the mid-1990s, new treatments emerged. The crisis began to shift.

And then, like so many heroes of the AIDS crisis, Ruth Coker Burks faded from public memory.

She wrote a memoir in 2019 called *All the Young Men* because she needed people to understand what happened in Arkansas. What happened across America. What happens when fear convinces people to abandon their own children.

And what happens when one person refuses to walk past a door everyone else fears.

She didn't have medical training. She didn't have institutional backing. She didn't have money.

She had compassion. Courage. Posthole diggers. And a family cemetery.

That was enough to make sure 1,000 people didn't die believing they were worthless.

The next time someone says one person can't change anything —

Remember the red bag on the door.

Remember the 13 hours she stayed with a stranger.

Remember the 40 graves she dug with her own hands.

She walked through that door in 1984. And 1,000 lives were forever changed because of it.
