For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman. Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 1/

I could be fully in agreement with the argument, it seems very reasonable & I’m totally in favour of bike lanes. But I just wish cyclists would use them & stay off the pavements. Oh, and also stop shooting red lights at pedestrian crossings.

Katie Zacharia calls herself a lawyer. A lot. “I’m a lawyer,” she told Greg Kelly just last week, and Fox News has labeled her one on screen. When Trump picked her, he called her “an attorney.” But Popular Information found no record she has ever been admitted to practice law. Anywhere.

Interesting point in the latest report from the EIA. Despite higher LNG exports from the US, domestic natural gas prices in 2027 are expected to be lower, because production increases more than enough to cover the extra LNG exported.
Natural gas prices. We forecast the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas to average $3.16 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2027, a 9% decrease from 2026. The decrease reflects ongoing higher-than-average natural gas inventories in our forecast, driven by production increases that offset rising liquefied natural gas exports.

Maybe this video revealing what is being taught at the premier military academy in israel will change your mind. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 "determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination". The resolution was adopted on 10 November 1975.

So you're happy to see Israel established by Zionism as an Apartheid State? The foundation of Apartheid is/was racism. Zionism has not existed for millennia. It dates back to the latter part of the 19th Century. One answer to genocide IS discrimination against the perpetrator.

Recent South American elections have shown irregular voting favouring pro-Israel, pro-Russia and pro-US candidates, many linked to the same Trump-connected network. Electoral fraud involving multiple nations cannot be ruled out. Canada, Mexico, Brazil, France, Spain and Germany need to be on alert.

We thought child rape was the worst of it, but child murder and snuff clubs/films are definitely in the Epstein files. The darkness is pitch black with these depraved monsters. And their insatiable appetites have never ceased. Epstein is dead, but not the international torture of children.
