Vance is the looming threat because of this lack of moral base and his transparent will to power. Trump has his brownshirts, but he's a fading and cowardly old narcissist. It takes a Vance who will do anything for power to create the blackshirts that come in the final phase.
Soon ‘AZ’ will be replaced by ‘Pfizer’ on the front page of a British newspaper. I hoped this jab would have been suspended far sooner as a chorus of Drs voices around the world have called for a long time now.
In the words of MLK must ‘keep moving forward’ 👊👊👊
Unilever new CEO Hein Schumacher started his first month as Unilever’s new CEO.
One could be forgiven thinking his number one priority should be reassessing Unilever’s business operations in Russia. The company has factories in Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Omsk, where it makes a whole host of products – including mayonnaise, Magnum ice creams and Cornettos for the Russian market.
Last year it is estimated the business generated just shy of £1bn revenue in Russia, meaning it paid an estimated £260m in tax to Putin.
The new CEO says he has chosen to less bad of three options:
👉 Leave Russia and forfeit the business.
👉 Leave Russia and sell the business.
👉 Stay in Russia and keep making profits and paying taxes to fund the regimes Genocide of Ukrainians.
Hein Schumaker has decided. Unilever will stay and fund war crimes and genocide.
For Unilever, this moral offensiveness is deepened by its hypocrisy. The company claims admirable aspirations: in its human rights strategy it clearly states, “Respect for human rights – within business and society – must be at the heart of efforts to rebuild a better world”.
After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, the then-CEO condemned the war “as a brutal and senseless act by the Russian state.” Unilever even publicly declared it would keep its operations in Russia under ‘close review’. But all of this was hot air and Corporate WhiteWashing: Unilever factories continue to churn out goods across Russia.
Other large companies use the same excuses as Unilever. They make the rather dubious claim that their products in Russia are essential, and therefore legal and morally legitimate. This is nonsense. Unilever makes Magnum ice creams; their competitor, Mondelez, produces Oreo cookies; fashion brands like Lacoste and Hugo Boss sell expensive luxury clothes. These are not essential goods, and there is no good reason why they should continue making and selling these products in Russia.
When challenged on their wrongdoing, companies come up with mealy-mouthed excuses about the operational challenges of closing down a business in Russia. But they have now had more than 16 months to find a solution that would ensure they pull out of the country. They have run out of excuses.
As the new leader of a British business worth almost £100bn, Hein Schumacher will no doubt start his new job at Unilever with a heaving inbox, filled with competing priorities. But cleaning up Unilever’s act and ceasing all operations in Russia should be firmly at the top of his agenda.
Cutting ties with Russia is essential to turning off the money taps for Putin’s war machine, disentangling British business from oligarchs and their dirty money, and it’s simply another way we can support our Ukrainian allies.

I'm not a virologist or a vaccines expert. I'm an expert in data analysis. And the data clearly shows:
🔸Lockdowns killed more people than they saved
🔸Zero evidence for efficacy of masks
🔸Zero evidence for efficacy of boosters
🔸Ample evidence for side effects of mRNA vaccines
Extraordinary response to this tweet which has 10 million views in < 24hrs. Let’s get it to 20 million to make the gross injustice that continues to be inflicted on the public more visible & get mRNA jabs paused until the cardiovascular harms are fully investigated @elonmusk 🙏
Margarita Symonyan,one of Russia’s chief propagandists celebrating Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine today, needs to be banned from Twitter.
Retweet if you agree.
@M_Simonyan I wonder what Woland, the international consultant in black magic, would make of you and Soloviev if he re-appeared in Moscow 2023? Something tells me your cynical craven hypocrisy would be first to exposed.

@misskitty0988 @DougNiedermeyer@rafsanchez The more pertinent comparison is how our MSM in UK & US has invoked Trusted News Initiative to advocate relentless for over prescription of vaccines, counter to initial risk stratifications & risk/benefits, to extent we’ve been jabbing 5 year olds. That’s the comparison.
