    You still hold out hope regarding politicians and “democracy”, kaysee? When we acknowledge it’s a uniparty ultimately controlled by globalists playing off groups of people off against each other?

    We learnt about the Great Reset plans during Covid. But October 7 has revealed to the whole world a deeper agenda. It has sorted the ones who really believe in freedom and free speech from those who don’t. Politicians, media, so-called free speech believers and advocates, the real world controllers.

    What is happening in Britain, the US Elections, elsewhere, all connected.

    We have to keep sharing what we know – the truth vs the media fiction – for as long as we have a real free speech platform.

    This report is from B’Tselem, so it is likely an objective source.

    B’Tselem is The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories. It strives for a future in which human rights, liberty and equality are guaranteed to all people, Palestinian and Jewish alike, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea

    Welcome to Hell

    “Welcome to Hell” is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody since 7 October 2023. B’Tselem collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians held during that time and released, almost all with no charges. Their testimonies reveal the outcomes of the rushed transformation of more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities, military and civilian, into a network of camps dedicated to the abuse of inmates as a matter of policy. Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps

    There’s a myth in the US that Israel is a victim. That’s deliberately cultivated by the Israelis. But they in fact are the provocateur. Israel united—for the first time in 1400 years—Sunni and Shia against a common enemy.

    Can the world tolerate a government like that in Israel that seems to be willing to conduct any criminal, despicable, degenerate, indecent act against human beings who are not Jewish? The Netanyahu government is pushing Israel into the abyss. If you don’t communicate the way the official narrative goes, you’re toast.

    I find the confrontational format annoying on Piers’ show, so rarely view it.

    I did listen to all of that episode however.

    Summary:
    Piers thought he nailed Tate by forcing him to answer certain questions, but Tate then responds with a more relevant point. So I give the W to Andrew and the L to Piers.

    Example, Tate after some cajoling says he personally does believe that you are British if you are born in Britain.
    Piers then thinks he won the argument and moves on, but Tate then says it doesn’t matter what his own views are, the point is there are a huge number of Britons that don’t hold that view. Tate says dismissing their views is the problem.

    BBC

    Councillor arrested over counter-protest remarks

    Suspended Labour councillor Ricky Jones has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder after comments at a London counter-protest.

    Videos had emerged online reportedly showing Mr Jones telling a crowd in Walthamstow that far right demonstrators needed to have their throats cut.

    A Labour spokesperson said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated.”

    Mr Jones, and Dartford’s newly elected Labour MP Jim Dickson, have been approached for comment.

    On Thursday, the Metropolitan Police said a man in his 50s had been arrested in south east London on suspicion of encouraging murder and for an offence under the Public Order Act. He remains in custody.

    In video that has circulated on social media, a man at the rally was filmed apparently saying: “They are disgusting Nazi fascists and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.”

    Reform leader Nigel Farage had called on X for Dartford councillor Mr Jones to be arrested.

    Mr Jones, who has represented the Princes ward since 2019, will be unable to sit on the Labour benches at Dartford Borough Council meetings.

    Israel committed ‘new crime against humanity’ in school attack: Turkey

    The Turkish Foreign Ministry has released a statement condemning Israel’s dawn attack on a prayer hall at al-Tabin school in Gaza City, which was sheltering hundreds of displaced Palestinians.

    It said that Israel is responsible for “massacring” more than 100 civilians who had taken refuge in the school.

    “This attack demonstrates once again that the Netanyahu government intends to sabotage the negotiations for a permanent ceasefire,” the statement continues.

    “International actors who do not take steps to stop Israel are complicit in Israel’s crimes.”

    Nil points, but in the running for AOTY

    Via AP

    Rachael Gunn, or “b-girl Raygun,” a 36-year-old professor from Sydney, Australia, quickly achieved internet fame, but not necessarily for Olympic-level skill. Competing against some b-girls half her age, she was swept out of the round-robin stage without earning a single point, and her unconventional moves landed flat while failing to match the skill level of her foes.

    At one point, Gunn raised one leg while standing and leaned back with her arms bent toward her ears. At another, while laying on her side, she reached for her toes, flipped over and did it again in a move dubbed “the kangaroo.”

    Gunn has a Ph.D. in cultural studies, and her LinkedIn page notes she is “interested in the cultural politics of breaking.”

    “I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best — their power moves,” said Gunn. “What I bring is creativity.”

    Courier Mail has a lengthy article not paywalled

    ‘Travesty’: How the Olympics’ breaking farce was allowed to happen

    … Breaking will not be returning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles – and Brisbane Olympic officials will get the ultimate say on whether the sport will be resuscitated in eight years’ time.

    Judging on the largely scathing reviews of Gunn’s performance, the sport’s hopes of ever returning to the Olympics are the same as the Aussie’s score after three “battles” at the La Concorde Urban Park. Zero.

    It is obvious, however, that Gunn’s deliberately daggy lawn bowls ensemble, kangaroo hops and sprinkler moves are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to explaining how this trainwreck charged to its doom.…

    The FDA’s War Against Sleep

    Why There Isn’t a Cure for Insomnia

    In 1964, a sleeping medication hit the market that was remarkably effective for a variety of conditions (including insomnia) and hence profoundly improved the health of its recipients. Because it threatened so many different drug markets, once it reached America in 1990, the FDA in collusion with the media launched a ten-year take down of it, which in many regards was almost identical to what they did to ivermectin. It was successful, and very few people are even aware that this drug exists or that the many of sleeping disorders we face are easily treatable.

    Paris Olympics Tableau

    Part 3
    False gods

    In the first two parts, it was a look at the how it came to be that a major sporting event like the Olympics was permitted to have something that would be not just in poor taste but offensive to over 2 billion Christians. Part 1 considered the role of Christian institutions. Part 2 was the Media – the power of those in influential positions with megaphones.

    In this Part, I want to look at the rest of society – the public, mainly Christians. What I am posting here is not from a judgemental seat, but as an observer of what is taking place in our society and affecting our lives. The choices and decisions we are making on one hand, while we claim victim-hood on the other.

    What is our role in the changes taking place in society? Do we have an impact? We have several avenues to make our voices heard, but one of the major ones is at election time, when we vote. This is our opportunity to let the powers-that-be know what is important to us, who we support and why. In this context, I am taking as an example, the biggest election campaign currently underway. The US Elections.

    a/
    Christians (and other social conservatives) reacted to the Paris tableau with anger. Many of these are Magadonians – Trump supporters – in the US or elsewhere. But why are they offended by that tableau? They revere Trump as their leader and accept his words, actions, lifestyle, policies.

    Trump married thrice, divorced twice. Cheated on all his wives. But his followers are more concerned about the injustice done to him regarding hush money to a porn star rather than him cheating on his wife.

    He supports the Lgbtxyz club. Years ago, during the Miss Universe contest, he allowed a tranny to participate. He supports trannys using female bathrooms. When asked the definition of a woman, his response was ummmmmm…….

    Those who criticise homosexuality and the 50 genders have no concerns when Trump supports it. The traditional definition of marriage doesn’t count – the new GOP has generalised it to broaden the tent. And his followers don’t mind. At the RNC, prayers to pagan gods were permitted.

    The Bud Light boycott was a grass roots Conservative protest movement and was supported by most Republican Presidential candidates at the primaries. Except Trump and his family. Because the boycott would hurt his business dealings and donations. This protest by Conservatives made a huge difference, but Trump was on the side of Bud Light and Conservatives did not object.

    He is pro-abortion, but in 2016 knew that the only way to get the nomination was to become pro-life. Now, it doesn’t matter. The cult will follow him no matter what he says. Some of those who claim to be 100% pro-lifers are willing to compromise their beliefs to whatever Trump says.

    The Conservatives and Christians used to be the backbone of the Republican party. Now, as I shared last month, they are mere spots on the basement wall according to Eric Trump. And Christians are okay with this.

    Maga will tell you this is about doing whatever it takes to win the elections. Then, of course, Trump will return to conservatism and making America great. He always keeps his promises. Like he did in his first term.

    b/
    So why are these same Christians so upset by what took place in Paris?

    They are comfortable with having as a leader someone who disregards all the teachings of Christianity, what the bible says about homosexuality, that there are only two sexes: male and female. That marriage is sacred, and so is fidelity to one’s spouse. Adultery and divorce are not badges of honour.

    Trump has been treated like a god by Maga. No, its more than a mere god. He has been elevated to the same level as Jesus Christ. As a saviour. As someone going through the same trials and persecutions as Christ.

    Christians haven’t objected to the blasphemy. They have rushed in to support it.

    There are Evangelical groups that have endorsed Trump. Same with some Catholic groups. There are Catholic clergy who support him because “the other side is worse”. There are prominent Catholic influencers who go silent when there a conflict between Church teaching and something that Trump says or does. There is the usual excuse of “Republicans are better than the Dems” or this is only till we get the votes and win the election.

    If we are prepared to sacrifice the teachings of our faith and our moral principles just for worldly gain, if we are prepared to set aside God’s teachings in order to placate men, if we think its okay to trade in our faith to gain an election win, what exactly are our Christian beliefs?

    In one of today’s papers, the main news is summed up as this. If you let MSM and Con Inc be your main news sources, you’ll accept what they serve you without question.

    Revenge?
    How about the facts instead of propaganda that suits the agenda?

    I’ll get to the Iran related stories later, if time permits.
    But for now, it’s Gaza.

    I think one answer to “why Christians support Trump” is the idea that God uses flawed people.

    The fashioning of Trump into a ‘messiah-like’ figure is one of the more persuasive arguments for the assassination attempt being a staged event. That, and the globalist controllers’ perceived need to counter any lingering distrust or disenchantment (among uninjected supporters) due to his self-proclaimed status as “father of the vaccines”. His “beautiful vaccines” may have killed and maimed millions, but here he is, your ‘hero’, narrowly escaping death himself.

    Abi’s Kitchen Table Episode 1

    The Olympics blasphemy reflects a worldwide agenda against “the West” (1:41) – or “Christendom” (1:42 – “I think you’re buggered if you don’t call it Christendom”).

    Trump supporters naively? desperately? cling to him as their perceived only earthly hope in the face of the globalist agenda… desperately, despite his flaws and his being owned, apparently, ultimately, by the same people behind that agenda against “the West” (Christendom).

    The whole “kitchen table” conversation is worth watching. As a change from the appointed “defenders of the West” in the MSM and “trusted alternatives”, the suggestion that practising Muslims – in so far as they are another example of “the faithful” – are our friends.

    It is hard to witness the ongoing Trump delusion among ‘conservatives’. (Or the Netanyahu worship.) I think even the based Archbishop Vigano has deferred to him, and to Tucker Carlson. An indication of the extent of the globalists’ influence and control? It’s a bit like waking up to the truth about the “vaccines” in 2021. And waiting… and waiting for others to.

    I know. I’m not an apologist for Trump or Trump supporters. I’m a ‘reformed Trump supporter’, trying to give an explanation for why Christians might continue to support him, despite everything. To quote someone (Christian) I know, confronted with the idea that the assassination attempt was fake – “then what is there?”

    I took a quick look at the video. The format is a good one. Although it can be a closely-knit group of people, it opens their discussion to a wider audience. I’ve bookmarked it to watch later.

    This current conflict in Gaza has made it seem like Muslims and Christians share something in common. Of course, as Christians, we should seek to live peaceably with all. But, I am wary of suggestions about some kind of unity between practising Muslims and practising Christians.

    Two days ago

    Elon Musk is hosting a live interview with Trump on X, and he’s trying really hard to avoid a repeat of the Ron DeSantis campaign launch meltdown

    https://www.businessinsider.com/musk-trying-avoid-repeat-of-desantis-campaign-launch-trump-2024-8

    ***

    Some funny stuff, including:

    “Am going to do some system scaling tests tonight & tomorrow in advance of the conversation with Donald Trump,” Musk wrote in an X post on Sunday night. …

    Ensuring X’s stability is probably a top priority for Musk, considering the platform’s spotty performance last year.

    In May 2023, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida launched his presidential campaign on X instead of on cable television. DeSantis’ launch, however, didn’t go quite as planned. The highly touted livestream got off to a rough start and encountered multiple technical difficulties.

    The glitchy livestream was mocked by many, including the Trump campaign.

    “Glitchy. Tech issues. Uncomfortable silences. A complete failure to launch. And that’s just the candidate!” a spokesperson for Trump told Business Insider then.

    WashPo

    Former X employees, experts doubt Musk claim of cyberattack on Trump talk

    Former engineers at X and outside experts cast further doubt Tuesday on Elon Musk’s claim that a 40-minute delay in his Monday audio conversation with Donald Trump was caused by a “massive” cyberattack.

    Musk said Monday that the technical glitches that stopped the heavily promoted episode on Spaces, X’s live audio platform, from starting on time were because of a distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attack, in which many devices send meaningless data at once to overwhelm an offering.

    A senior engineer at X told an outside expert late Tuesday that there had been no evidence of an attack, the expert relayed to The Washington Post.

    Other technologists also expressed skepticism, partially because a previous high-profile Spaces event — in which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis launched his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination — also crashed when large numbers of listeners tried to join. Other parts of X kept functioning Monday, so any attack would have had to be extremely targeted.

    “DDoS is certainly a plausible reason, but I think it’s unlikely, and I’d demand to see actual numbers to believe it was DDoS,” said former NSA hacker Robert Graham, a consultant and security commentator. …

    They seem to be consistently about 80-90%. Thank God for that much truth. Perhaps that’s as much as the controllers allow them.

    Exactly.

    Quite. Where were they, when human rights were violated all over the place in the last few years?

    But he still refers to the existence of a Covid virus, when many scientific experts maintain it’s never been isolated. And he suggests lockdowns may have saved lives. As others have said, lockdowns ( prison terminology apparently) were nothing more than psychological torture. No precedent, no justification, for quarantining healthy people.

    https://bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/accelerated-urgent-care-provides-statistical-update-on-covid-19

    Typically you quarantine the sick . When someone has measles, you quarantine them. We’ve never seen where you quarantine the healthy – where you take those without disease and without symptoms and you lock them in their home.

    I watched that episode of Abi’s Kitchen Table. I like the easy going discussion taking place, questioning occurrences, looking for solutions. It provides a support network of intelligent people who are critically evaluating events.

    The downside is the time taken for the episode – 2 1/2 hours. They need to structure it a bit – plan the topics, and those who are taking part need to prepare a bit, and a quicker pace. So it may not be so spontaneous, but for the viewer it takes up lesser time.

    Otherwise, it is not enough gain for the time spent.

    Agree re your feedback on “Abi’s Kitchen Table”, kaysee. 2 1/2 hours is a long time. Especially when much of it may be just going over ‘old material’. I like the format because I think many of us are missing that ‘kitchen table’ of likeminded people – because we live/work/mix with people who aren’t awake. So it’s perhaps a wistfully vicarious experience of that.

    And (all great but) I was very impressed and encouraged by the two younger men… since many have remarked (both here and in the UK, apparently) on the relative absence of men among the awake. Women – thanks to women’s intuition, perhaps, more awake to psychological rather than physical warfare – asking “where are the men?”

    I think you would’ve been impressed by how the artist of the two, Francis O’Neill, doesn’t waver when more than one person on

    Israel offered to ethnic cleanse evacuate tens of thousands of Palestinians to Egypt until the cessation of the Israel-Hamas War, according to a report.

    Example-2

    Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s Minister of National Security, said during an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 on Wednesday that he believes Israel needs to “occupy Gaza and stay there” and that they would develop a “plan of encouragement” to make Palestinians leave.

    Trump wasn’t the independent saviour he’s made out to be

    A number of grifting influencers have now decided that there are problems with the Trump campaign team. They are now getting concerned about the GOP results in November.

    Candace joins the chorus of people demanding a change in leadership from the Trump campaign.

    Poor Candace. She still can’t join the dots. Blame everyone else –
    the deep state, the Rinos the Establishment, the campaign advisers. But it is never Trump himself who is the problem.

    Last year – before the primaries – she told us about Trump and his IT factor. Others have described Trump has having the sizzle and oomph. He can entertain and draw cult crowds. But actually getting things done?

    He surrounds himself with sycophants. A good leader will pick the best – not the ones who kiss his boots. The problem isn’t the leadership of the Trump campaign. It is the “leader” of the GOP.

    They are now worried about where the GOP is headed in November? They thought that it would be Trump vs Biden and they were confident their guy would win? So they supported him during the primaries or did not object when he did not participate in the primaries debates.

    The rule should have been every candidate wanting to run under the GOP banner has to take part in the debates and has to answer the serious questions – Covid, lockdowns, economy, border, other issues. So the party and the country knew exactly what each candidate stood for. Then they could pick the best candidate as the GOP nominee.

    Correction: Francis was the one insisting Trump’s not an independent saviour, despite others wanting to believe/pretend otherwise. It seems to be a common theme, a sort of sticking point for more prominent ‘voices of freedom’ – to tell/agree 80-90% truth but still give Trump an out. His intentions were good, the data was bad etc etc.

    Trump, for example, has been seeded to the American public over decades… it’s a simple psychological trick, isn’t it? For example, familiarity – we trust people with whom we are more familiar. So they put these people on our television screens and seed them to us. So Trump was on The Apprentice show, but he also had this persona of the boss man, which is sort of popular in America – the guy who gets things done…and he was put on television, just like Boris Johnson was put in front of us on Have I Got News For You… so that people had a kind of affinity for them…

    If you’re going to lock people down and try and inject them with something that might not be very good for them, you have to then make sure that people trust the person giving it to you…”I trust Trump, so he wouldn’t be locking us down if we didn’t need it”… If you’re going to lock down the world and inject them all, then you have to have your players in place.

    39:12
    You don’t get to be American president unless you’re anointed by the cabal…and also his financial situation – in the 90s-2000s, he was bailed out by the bankers. There’s many reasons to think he’s just another one of their players…The fact that he still vouches for the vaccine, and he pushed the vaccine, and he was telling people to get the booster… If you push the propaganda line when people have made you aware of it, then you’re failing a certain litmus test. And I think that’s what Trump has done quite clearly with his Operation Warp Speed and with the lockdowns…even if you disregard everything else, I think that gives the lie to him, the vaccine situation.

    (One of the hosts) Stephen Frost: I think that human beings need some hope and as far as politics go, I’d like to think that Trump is the real deal, but yeah I agree with you – if they wanted to deceive people, then of course there’s nothing more brilliant than putting somebody like Trump in place, who gets the trust of people like me…when he’s actually working for the other side…I think we can agree that he’s the best of what’s available in the United States anyway…and so let’s see what he does in the first few days of his presidency. And then we’ll know whether he’s a fraud.

    Francis O’Neill: We already do.[Staunch.] …people want to attach their positivity or their hope or…they’re deferring their action to Q and to Trump and stuff, and it basically defers the revolution that we need. [From the mouth of an artist.]

    Candace joins the chorus of people demanding a change in leadership from the Trump campaign.

    Nick Fuentes too.

    The idea of Project 25 was to get the right people in the Trump administration so that he wasn’t undermined during a possible 2nd term.

    Trump has disavowed Project 25, so people need to move on.

    Cheering on Trump is like cheering on Bush. If that’s what people want, fine. But people must accept that Donald Trump is not a change candidate.
