As a scholar of Soviet espionage, may I say: Duh.

Now Mandelson’s gone, there’s a risk UK Gov will suffer a convenient lack of curiosity and not follow up (like the Russia report that wasn’t). As ever, Donald Tusk FTW

Zero net migration would shrink UK economy by 3.6%. Higher taxes to maintain public services. UK has 3 working age people for every one pensioner, could be 2:1 by 2050. Low birth rate. Can't sustain economy without immigration. Xenophobia preventing honest debate.

im building machines that i keep saying will both throw you out of work and allow masked special police forces in service to a lunatic i bought and paid for to recognize your face and check if i agree with your beliefs. im part of a pedophile ring that put this into motion. why are you rude to me

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

“So, why don’t you want to travel to the USA now?”

I mean if they go after lords for being nonce-adjacent imagine the hazard that puts party donors under

A sizeable thread on the state of the Chinese economy.

It stops being conspiracy theory when the theory is proved. Now it’s just treason.

JUNE 2016 Jeffrey Epstein to Peter Thiel: “brexit, just the beginning” Thiel to Epstein: “Of what?” Epstein to Thiel: “return to tribalism. counter to globalization. amazing new alliances…” (www.justice.gov/epstein/file...) 1/

I’m about to finally become a conspiracy theorist about only this topic

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has called for the federalisation of Europe. “Power requires Europe to move from confederation to federation. Where Europe has federated—on trade, competition, the single market, and monetary policy—we are respected as a power and negotiate as one. 1/2

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

❗️Tu-95 takeoff from Olenya airfield

Bannon bragging he has control of the far right across Europe. Including Nigel Farage. #EpsteinFiles

If asked to describe the major features of the Epstein archipelago looming out of its offshore dark money and billionaire kompromat - I’d say Putin, Trump, Musk, Bannon and Thiel And with that you have a map of our current political era

Interestingly cryptic email from Jeffrey Epstein to Peter Thiel, 26 June 2016: "Brexit, just the beginning"

I'm starting @anneapplebaum.bsky.social podcast, Autocracy in America, from its beginning in 2024. It starts with Trump retaliation of Maricopa county AZ election results in 2020. It presages the trouble we're in for the 2026 elections. 2020 was a warm-up act.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Morgan McSweeney's mentor here, in case you weren't aware.

Trump’s bizarre obsession with “post-birth abortion” has always perplexed me. But after reading the Epstein files account of a victim describing Trump being present when she gave birth at 13, and witnessing her trafficker throw the newborn into a lake, I started to hear his statements differently.

As someone said over on Reddit: Planet Earth is now an amusement park for about 500 paedophiles. The rest of us are just staff.

Pizzagate was projection

For years, an online meme phrase spread in the Ukrainian segment of internet, saying that a pedophile lobby was working against Ukraine. Seeing how many anti-Ukrainian figures show up in the Epstein files, from US elites to officials in Slovakia, it no longer feels like a joke

A reminder that those who took for granted that Trump victory would be the end of Ukraine were wrong. Ukraine continues to hold Ru off despite the fact that Trump ended US aid. Ukraine has innovated and developed its military capacity, Europe has stepped up, and Ru is weaker than many assume.

It’s going to get sparkly in Iran. Stay away from windows, SAM sites etc

Peadophile and traitor - #Epstein saught to become an adviser to Putin, and generate wealth for him “ when Sputnik was announced the west was caught flat footed…. The same can now happen with Russia taking the lead in finance “ #Crypto

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

6 years of hamstrung businesses and diminished rights for Brits, and the lunatics remain dissatisfied with the asylum takeover. Those that remember the USSR will remember “true communism coming soon”- this is tragically similar.

Former criminal defense attorney here. If what we’ve seen of the Epstein Files so far—heavily redacted and with 3 million pages still missing—is bad, keep in mind that the *Files in full* are a *hundred* times worse. That’s how this works. You’re seeing the G-rated version.

The Epstein files released so far tonight have at least one murder and barbaric depravity everywhere. America, wtf?

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just published highly disturbing Files about Trump and then DELETED them. We screen captured them before they were deleted. Please share these documents far and wide. Don’t let them cover THIS up!! krassencast.com/p/breaking-e...

This is bad- I suspect there’s even worse to come #Epstein

It’s worth seeing the talent pool ICE and CBP recruit from. This is a difficult read, but entirely unsurprising:

Just as predicted by the Brexiters own economist Patrick Minford! 💥💥💥 "British car, van, truck and bus production fell to its lowest level since 1952 last year. Overall, 764,715 vehicles were built in 2025. By comparison, in 2016 [before Brexit] the UK produced 1.7 million cars." #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Once again, extraordinary things happening on the social media of the German foreign ministry www.instagram.com/reel/DUGW47K...

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

This is the spirit.

Global Firepower has published its latest ranking of the world's most powerful armies.As before,the top three are the US, Russia,&China Ukraine ranks 20th ◾️The creators of the ranking claim that they assess not only the size of the army&the amount of equipment, but also the economy,demographics..

French embassy only serving water and juice to attendees until the evening's speeches are over, a misunderstanding of what Brits look for in a drinks reception of such proportions that I can only assume the declaration of war will come overnight

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

The old test in moral philosophy ‘what if everyone did that?’ is coming back to haunt us. LLMs only work because the information they are sucking up was not generated by LLMs. But as they drive more and more real researchers out of business they are building layers and layers on their own quicksand.

I'm German. I've been schooled in my country's history & crimes all my life. I'm also a political scientist, educated in Germany, the UK, & US. As the comparisons betw the situation in the US & Nazi Germany are increasing to frequent, allow me to comment. A 🧵

In today’s political news: one illiberal opposition politician defected from one illiberal party to another, while the illiberal party in government have ensured their next by-election candidate will be one supporter of illiberal government policy instead of another.
