The Fairford psy-op is back on! We’re pretending it was Iran after all!
When the Fairford plot fell apart before it had got going, I honestly thought that was the end of it.

Are we entering Orwell or Huxley's dystopia?
An illustration in a retro propaganda poster style features a giant screen displaying a single large eye looking down. Below the screen, a row of people stand holding up glowing smartphones toward the eye. The background is split in red and dark blue. Text at the bottom reads: "Orwell imagined a government that installs a telescreen in every home. It watches you. It listens. You cannot turn it off. What actually happened is that you bought one yourself, put it in your pocket, and gave it permission to access your microphone, your camera, your location and your contacts. Nobody forced the telescreen on you. You queued evernight to buy it. The difference between Orwell's dystopia and yours is that his required enforcement and yours runs on consent."

Why is Daniel Tommo's organisatipn free to do this (and terrorise ports), while Palestine Action is deemed a "Terrorist organisation?" Answer: their reaction to brown faces. Tommo's organisation is racist, PA is not.

A screenshot of an online news article with a large headline: "Danny Tommo could face serious jail time after Channel knife stunt". Beneath the headline, the subheading reads: "Self-styled Channel enforcer Danny Tommo tried to sink a migrant dinghy at sea with a rescue worker still on board, an act which could bring a lengthy jail sentence". Below a line reading "22 September 2026 | Searchlight Correspondent reports", there is a photograph taken from inside a boat on the water, showing a person sitting near inflatable tubes containing bright yellow life jackets.

Dear Ed Here is a primer. The horror has been going on for Palestinians since 1947- it did not begin in 2023. Israel has created at LEAST 6 million Palestinian refugees since 1947. This doesn't include the nearly 2m people displaced because their homes have been destroyed on the gaza strip
A nighttime photograph showing a protester holding a cardboard sign above a concert crowd- Ed, you might be familiar with these. Your fans can help educate you. Speak to them... not to how much they buy at your gigs/pay for tickets. At the top of the sign, three illustrated watermelon slices with red fruit, black seeds, and green rinds are drawn. Below the drawings, the phrase "FREE PALESTINE" is written in black marker, followed by "STOP GENOCIDE" in green marker. In the blurred background, hands are raised amidst a crowd illuminated by dim nighttime lighting.

80,000 Palestinians murdered. Children, women & men. This is only part of a systematic "ethnic cleansing"of land grabbed by Israel since 1947. "Its complicated"is not an excuse. There is clearly a side that is the oppressor-the State of Israel & a side that is oppressed-those being genocided.

Crafty Epstein lister, Robert "Crafty Epstein Files lister" Kraft trying to buy himself out of the headlines, much in the way he has re the Epstein files...
An image displaying a text statement on a white background, titled STATEMENT FROM [snivelling Epstein pal] ROBERT KRAFT.
​Text Transcript [which it has to be said, is from someone in the Epstein Files]:
​STATEMENT FROM ROBERT KRAFT [he from the Epstein files]
​I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people [and allegedly funding Epstein, his island and his "traffic"]. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting [except young women, allegedly]. Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region [not Palestine] to fight this humanitarian crisis. Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.
​In addition, I'd like the people who are speaking in support of the Palestinian people to know that for decades, I have supported efforts that create opportunity for Palestinians and have brought young Palestinians and Israelis together to build businesses, create jobs, and forge relationships [and try to put a lid of the focus on me, because I've been in the Epstein files].
