So, let me get this straight: This little coke head asshole has been given $196 billion of American tax dollars, blows up diesel refineries, kidnaps people off the street, and now has been caught running black site torture dens with victims as young as 14 years old. And, America is still supporting this guy instead of ending this war entirely? Seriously, what are we doing anymore…

Literally no Muslim in the world is shocked. Lol. This is not news. Edward Snowden leaked 10 years ago that MI6, CIA and Mossad worked together to create and train ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and every local off-shoot terrorist group. And just last year, US congressman Scott Perry whistle blew that the US has been funding all these groups through USAID. But guess what the biggest tell has always been? The people these “Muslim terror groups” love to kill the most are Muslims! And only carried out their first controlled attack on Israel in 2017 when rumour mills started to reveal the Mossad connection. (Spoiler alert: it was a false flag). So, despite years of you telling us that “Muslim radical Islamist terrorists” are the greatest threat to western civilization and they especially “hate Jews” they mainly target their own people and not their “greatest enemy”? Lol. Here’s something else you might mot know, and it’ll help explain the below - Iran has been fighting to try and eliminate these groups for decades! “Al Qaeda urges Muslims to back Israel over Iran”. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, because they are Israel and Israel is them.

The Butcher of the Somme, a Scottish aristocrat who oversaw the death of a million souls to advance seven miles of French land, had the audacity to attend this event. He then set up the Haig Fund in his own name to promote remembrance of the people whose lives he took away. The rank hypocrisy of British imperialism should never be forgotten.
Unveiled on 31st May 1924 by Earl Haig, the Glasgow Cenotaph. Erected in remembrance of the soldiers who died during the First World War, it was designed by Sir JJ Burnet in 1922 and is flanked by sculptures of lions by Ernest Gillick. 📷 Newsquest

The Clearances weren’t a jaunty gap year. Homes were burned, families driven out at bayonet-point, many murdered or left to starve or die on coffin ships! Framing ethnic cleansing as “adventure” is the sort of soft revisionism that we expect from a staunch loyalist @thecoastguy

Elon Musk did not found Tesla, nor did he invent the car. Tesla was founded and built originally by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Elon Musk isn't why SpaceX is successful, either. The real genius behind the rocket is Tom Mueller, who designed the rocket. Elon Musk is not a genius. He has invented nothing. He just buys the companies and steals all the credit.

Zelensky is a parasite robbing American tax payers
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky: "I've heard from new people who will be in Congress, and also the Democratic Party, that they are on our side. They don't try to balance between us and Russia. They are not afraid to say that Russia is the aggressor." Yeah, $200B for Ukraine incoming...

In the land of Shakespeare, drama isn’t even a subject in its own right. Ridiculous. It has the lowly status of pedagogical tool or a ‘module’ within English.
“The full national curriculum is expected to be published later this year. Powell said it would include adding drama as “a distinct module [in English] in key stage 3 for the first time” ‘a module ffs’ thetimes.com/uk/education/ar…

Has anyone ever explained *why* Russia wants to “destroy the West” — what does it wish to gain by “destroying the west” — maybe it wants to have more influence over the West, exploit the West, or stop Western influence. But “destroy” — why? For what possible reason?
“Russia wants to destroy the West.” Matthew Syed of the Sunday Times warns we’re “tilting towards war” because of Russian hybrid warfare efforts in Europe. #Newsnight

Europe is warned. Any contribution to striking the people of Iran now very clearly risks a defensive retaliation. UKGov has no mandate for any war.
This is big! Iran has named up to 15 Western bases across nine countries, Ramstein in Germany, RAF Fairford in Britain, sites in Italy and Greece, as targets IF Trump uses them to strike Iran. The order from the Supreme Leader is from Iran updating its previosuly declared 10 military doctrines, now making it 11 military doctrines for a response with "No Geographic limit"... See my latest YouTube Episode #3 where I deep dive into all 11 doctrines. This is a "conditional" threat. Iran strikes those bases ONLY if Trump and USA hits it from these bases first, which makes it a deterrent rather than a war plan. Iran cannot trade blows with the United States directly, so it moves the risk onto the coalition's hosts instead. It puts a quiet question to Germany, Britain, Italy and Greece. Is lending your soil to an American strike worth becoming a target yourself? That is "deterrence by punishment" aimed at the weakest links in the chain. Iran gains more from Germany picturing a strike on Ramstein than from carrying one out. The goal is hesitation, a government and a public that think twice before the base is used. Peel one host away and the strike architecture gets harder to run. European officials say there is "no imminent" threat. Based on Iran's demonstrated and declared missile capabilities, Iran can reach the European continent. None of this is improvised. It follows Iran's OWN military doctrine step by step. I break down why Iran escalates to exactly this, through the 11 military doctrines of Iran and a game theory lens, in my latest video. See full video YouTube video in comments below. Signal, not noise!

People who think Obama was a great president don’t realize that he destroyed Libya, murdered Gaddafi, and orchestrated a deadly coup in Ukraine that led to a genocide and the war we have today.

How it works: In 1988 Foreign Office minister David Mellor MP described conditions in Gaza as "shocking and inhuman", "an affront to civilised values" and confronted the IDF in public. His career ended when secretly taken recordings of his sex life were published in the media.

The water is almost certainly full of sewage as well. This is torture on a mass scale.
Ten minutes of rain were enough to reveal the suffering of an oppressed and wronged people.
