Does anyone think after having watched Gaza, Syria, Iran + Lebanon that Netanyahu, Ben Gvir + Smotrich wouldn't devastate 800 miles of Hormuz coastline with nuclear weapons - + that Trump would carry on like he is doing afterwards?

Argentina’s President Milei writes in the FT:

“Inflation, once an existential threat, has been brought to heel…”

Really? Argentina’s inflation is red hot at 33.1%/yr.

Inflation remains Milei’s Achilles heel.

There is no more absurd a virtue signal today than the rich and powerful jet-setting around the globe, eating in the finest restaurants, all while claiming, with a fake tear in their eye, that we must “save the planet” by reducing our carbon footprints.

@CraigMurrayOrg BBC News should be indulged in like unfunny comedy

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

The BBC make me physically feel sick.

BBC News is running a strapline: "Israel and Lebanon agree ceasefire if Hezbollah stops attacks".

Which is astoundingly dishonest framing.

D’avanti alle ambasciate occidentali a Mosca ci sono le proteste. La gente sta portando i ritratti delle ragazze assassinate del regime nazista ucraino. “ Con le vostre armi i nazisti assassinano i bambini”

@TonyWard867811 100% right.

[Tony Ward @TonyWard867811]

You worked for forty years.

Up before the alarm. Out in the cold. Through the bad backs and the worse winters. You never once signed on. You were proud of that.

Now you are fifty eight. The body is done. The trade that used you up has no use for you anymore.

And you are sat at home in the middle of the day, not because you are lazy, but because there is nothing left for a man your age who is worn out and ten years short of a pension.

There are two million like you. They will call it worklessness. A statistic. A drain.

They will not call it what it is.

A grafter, used up and thrown back, by a country that took the best of him and left him with nothing to retire on.

You did everything they asked.

And this is the thanks.

🇺🇦 Reclutatori ucraini catturano un uomo con un braccio rotto per inviarlo al fronte

🌚Si tratta di un reduce che aveva appena subito un intervento chirurgico al braccio.

John Bolton, according to CNN, will plead guilty to a felony of mishandling classified information, with a fine of $2 million and possible prison time.

Bolton previously urged that Edward Snowden be executed, and Julian Assange be imprisoned for life, for informing the public.

One of the most horrifying scenes in human history has been revealed.

When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to collect flour mixed with sand due to severe famine.

A moment the world must never forget.

South Carolina! On Tuesday June 9th dump Lindsey Graham & vote for Mark Lynch @MarkLynchSC !

Mark Lynch is the America First fighter South Carolina needs in the U.S. Senate. He has built a successful business, created jobs, signed the front of a paycheck, and lived the values that Washington politicians only talk about. Mark understands that our country needs secure borders, a strong economy, a serious foreign policy, and leaders who put American citizens first.

Lindsey Graham has had decades in Washington, and the results speak for themselves. South Carolina deserves a senator who will stand with President Trump, fight for working families, defend our freedoms, and take on the political establishment.

I am proud to endorse Mark Lynch for U.S. Senate.

And now look at footage of all those 20-somethings disgorging at Liverpool St to go into the City to earn their 6 figure salaries (fancifully augmented with bonuses which double that).

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

It is truly EYE-OPENING to talk to Iranians and get their point of view:
.
IRANIANS: You murdered Qasem Soleimani.
U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law.
IRANIANS: You bombed our peace talks in Qatar.
U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law.
IRANIANS: You murdered our govt members and their spouses and children.
U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law.
IRANIANS: You stole our ships and everything in them.
U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law.
IRANIANS: You made an unprovoked attack which killed more than 100 school kids.
U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law.
IRANIANS: We’re going to charge shipping fees so we can rebuild what you destroyed.
U.S./ ISRAEL: YOU CAN’T DO THAT! INTERNATIONAL LAW!!!!

Just intv‘d Iranian Supreme Leader‘s military advisor Gen. Mohsen Rezaei.

Some main lines:
- talks are deadlocked and Trump must unlock them by unfreezing Iranian assets.
- “24 billion $ is not much for America if he wants to reach an agreement with Iran.”
- “this is our own (Iran’s) not America’s money.”
- “the cost of negotiating is much less for America than the cost of fighting with us (Iran).”
- if the war and blockade continue, Iran will drag it into the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Bab al Mandab, Mediterranean.
- Meeting between Trump and Supreme Leader “will not happen.”

Just as well our politicians have flushed our economy + manufacturing jobs doing the toilet.

Just in from NASA satellites: The average global temperature for May 2026 is the same as the May 1998 average global temperature, despite more than one trillion tons of emissions over the past 28 years.

If every emission causes and drives more warming, ask a climate hoaxer to explain that.
