For the 27th DAY IN A ROW, THOUSANDS of Albanians RETURNED to Skanderbeg Square in Tirana to protest Pres. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner’s $1.6 billion luxury resort project.

THE FLAMINGO REVOLUTION HAS LEGS.

🚨🇦🇱 BREAKING: Day 26 of mass protests in Tirana, Albania

✊️🇦🇱People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people

⚡️No leader becomes stronger by telling his people to “fuck off” and then pretending nothing is happening.

⚡️The longer Edi Rama ignores the streets, the stronger and more determined the people become.

⚡️He can keep hiding behind his ego, but the message is simple:

✊️The people are watching.
✊️The people are waiting.
✊️And the people are not leaving until he resigns.

Day 26 of Albania's Flamingo Revolution🦩 🇦🇱

Thousands are still protesting in Tirana. What began as a fight to protect Albania's coastline has become a nationwide movement against corruption, land grabs, and unchecked development.

Albania for Albanians. 🇦🇱

[Kruja Chronicles @FilteredZero]

For 22 years, a gate kept people away from Kakome, one of the most beautiful bays in the Albanian Riviera 🇦🇱Yesterday, Albanians tore it down. The beach is now public. The message was simple: the coastline belongs to the Albanian people. After two decades, Kakome is open again.🔥

When the dermatologist was just on Fox News debunking the idea that some chemicals in sunscreen aren't good for us, it sounded illogically dismissive of the studies and research.

I took a quick look.

I didn’t hear her disclose her paid relationships with big sunscreen makers. ☀️

This is part of a trend that I discovered decades ago. It permeates our news media landscape.

I learned that nearly every member of the national board of experts that lowered cholesterol guidelines and basically recommended that people should take more statins, worked for the statin makers.

I learned that many members of the board set up during Covid that restricted hydroxychloroquine... were paid by the companies that made other controversial treatments for Covid like remdesivir that were then prioritized over hydroxychloroquine.

It doesn’t stop there.

When the government and the cosmetics industry tried to falsely debunk the scientific studies linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, they referred me to the American Cancer Society for an interview. I learned that the expert at the American Cancer Society hadn’t even read the relevant studies, and yet was claiming the link was a myth. I asked and found out that the American Cancer Society takes money from the antiperspirant industry and other allegedly cancer, causing industries. However, they wouldn’t tell me how much.

When the nonprofit “every child by" was illogically denying the proven vaccine autism link, I dug in and found out the nonprofit was actually started by a vaccine maker in order to defend vaccine companies, and to controversialist those of us exposing the risks.

I was the first journalist to ask and report that the expert the government kept referring us to in order to debunk the vaccine autism link, Dr. Paul Offit, was not an independent expert at all, but was a vaccine inventor and vaccine industry insider… though that was never disclosed in the media at the time. He was always presented falsely as if he were an independent expert.

When I saw a lead dietary group giving questionable advice about nutrition, I learned that the group takes money from the sugar, cola, fast food, and preservative snack industry.

In short, whenever I’ve looked for a tie between experts defending a chemical or risk that could impact an industry's bottom line... I’ve always found one. Food for thought.

"Dr. Jody Levine has financial and professional relationships with several prominent consumer product companies that manufacture and market sunscreens.
Because sunscreen is legally regulated as an over-the-counter drug and is a core component of commercial skincare lines, her consulting roles inherently create potential conflicts of interest when she recommends sun protection or reviews skincare products in the media. 

Her specific ties to major corporate sunscreen manufacturers include:

1. Johnson & Johnson / Kenvue

Dr. Levine has served on the Medical Advisory Board for Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health spin-off, Kenvue, owns Neutrogena and Aveeno, two of the largest and most widely distributed sunscreen brands in the United States. In her media and print features, she has regularly recommended product categories or specific options overlapping with these brands, such as recommending Neutrogena Sport Face in broad consumer media interviews. 

2. Galderma (Cetaphil)

She has acted as a consultant and advisor for Cetaphil, a brand owned by Galderma. Cetaphil produces a substantial line of daily facial moisturizers with SPF, mineral sunscreens, and broad-spectrum sun protection lotions marketed heavily toward sensitive skin and pediatric care. 

3. Beiersdorf (Eucerin)

Dr. Levine has maintained consulting arrangements with Eucerin, a brand under the Beiersdorf corporate umbrella. Eucerin manufactures a wide range of daily anti-aging lotions with SPF, sensitive skin sunscreens, and body sun protection products. 

Impact on Media Appearances

When Dr. Levine appears on networks like Fox News or in print publications to deliver general public health messages—such as advising viewers to apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside or warning against the dangers of tanning beds—she is providing standard medical advice aligned with the American Academy of Dermatology. However, because she does not routinely issue on-screen financial disclosures listing her corporate partners during short news segments, viewers are generally unaware that she is paid by the parent companies of the very products sitting on drugstore shelves."

Coming to America ( Fingers Crossed)

Unfortunately, Americans fall for the bait & end up turning their anger at their neighbor (left vs. right) instead of the Oligarchs & political puppets in government owned by them.

If you think your real problems are caused by other workers then you’ve been propagandized by the Oligarchs via Billionaire owned media.

It’s not left vs. right, it’s us against them, which is the only thing that actually scares them. That’s why they put so much effort into “ wedge issues” ( they actually call them that, could it be more obvious?).

Strong worker unions succeed because the people in them recognize they have shared common interests, when Americans realize this & join together things will change, but if we keep thinking 1/2 the country, made up of fellow workers, are the problem we’ll just keep fighting each other while the country burns.

Time to wake up.

Victory to the Albanian uprising against US and Israeli settlers

The people of Albania will not allow their country to be sold off to the Epstein class!

Based Albania

[Whale Scan @WhaleScan]

ALBANIAN PROTESTERS JUST PUBLISHED EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS THEIR COASTLINE FOREVER

Not vague threats. Not "we oppose occupation." NAMED PROJECTS. SPECIFIC LOCATIONS. Site by site.

🇦🇱 Sazan Island — former Albanian military base → $4,000,000,000 Kushner-linked luxury resort approved on protected land
🇦🇱 Pishë Poro-Narta wetlands — protected coastal zone → flamingo habitats, sea turtle nesting, migratory bird corridors slated for development
🇦🇱 Southern Albanian coastline — UNESCO-adjacent protected areas → "strategic investor" framework overrides environmental law
🇦🇱 Prime Minister Edi Rama — 13 years in power → approved resort plans despite active legal challenges from environmental groups
🇦🇱 Albanian parliament — passed laws weakening protected-area status → cleared the path for foreign investor projects
🇦🇱 Kushner/Ivanka Trump development group — linked to the resort project → Guardian, CBS, Reuters all confirmed June 2026
🇦🇱 Albanian hospital system — suffering blackouts → protesters cite domestic neglect while billions flow to foreign resort deals
🇦🇱 Foreign worker contracts — government accused of hiring abroad → while Albanian workers are unemployed
🇦🇱 Bosnian football fan footage — circulating as Albanian protest clips → misidentified video spreading the "occupation" narrative
🇦🇱 Celebrity amplification campaign — protesters asking global voices to speak out → about the resort and corruption, not military occupation

💀 20+ consecutive days of protests
💀 Protests expanded from one resort to full anti-corruption movement
💀 ZERO evidence of US or Israeli military occupation of Albanian territory
💀 100% domestic political crisis — a government, a billionaire project, and protected land

Every target on this list keeps something alive. Not soldiers. FLAMINGOS. SEA TURTLES. WETLANDS. And a democracy trying not to be sold to the highest bidder.

Albania has been in the streets for 20+ days. The resort approvals are still standing. These are the targets the protesters are fighting to protect RIGHT NOW.

I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

I love Albania for this.
This is how it began for the Palestinians— the Rothschilds and their agents buying up land. What came next was the Nakba and the erasure of their identity, followed by today’s Holocaust.
Fight Israeli settlers like the hell that you will endure if you don’t. This is the only way.

Day 31 of Albania's Flamingo Revolution. Protesters continue to oppose Jared Kushner's plan to convert an Albanian island into a luxury resort.

[Isa Myzyraj @IsamyzyrajAlb]

What is happening in #Albania is extraordinary. Despite the lynching campaigns and the massive attacks coordinated by the Prime Minister Rama and the government, citizens continue their mass #protests on the 24th day, demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and government

[Lucas 🇺🇸🇵🇱 @pl19971]

After 22 years of being denied access, Kakome Beach was in Albania returned to its owners. Incredibly happy for them. Incredible act of resiliency, which is why it makes a absolutely big difference when people in Albania protest.

[Edisona Skenderi @edisonaskenderi]

Albania is protesting day by day against corruptet government!
@EU_Commission please help us! Sand support ❤️

[Kruja Chronicles @FilteredZero]

What’s happening in Tirana, Albania right now is significant, but corporate media coverage is minimal at best. Make of that what you will.

They call it the Flamingo Revolution 🇦🇱🦩
See for yourself.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Protesters in Albania have begun pushing construction barriers downhill in opposition to plans linked to the Kushner and Trump families’ proposed island development project.

The dispute is quickly becoming a flashpoint over who gets to decide the future of some of the country’s most valuable coastal land.

The locals are making their feelings known. 👀

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Hey America,
Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been in the streets for 21 FUCKING DAYS over Jared Kushner’s plan to turn an island into a billionaire resort.

You’re watching your country get hijacked in real time. Maybe get off the fucking couch?

[Reuters @Reuters]

Protesters in Albania vandalized the construction site of a former luxury development in a coastal area in the south of the country. Fury over luxury resort projects, including one backed by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, has sparked protests
