NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners. It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

They are about to understand the Streisand Effect: the more you try to hide something from the public, the bigger the story gets.

Just a reminder that at this stage of the Kremlin's plan to destroy the US's foreign influence, military power and morale, Donald Trump had already been recruited as a sleeper agent for 24 years. He easily was turned by flattery and bogus offers of a Trump Tower in Moscow, as Bannon promised.

Beyond parody and beyond fiction. Europe has to stand up to this foreign interference. This cannot be smooth away.

Another sanction by the Trump administration that exceeds the Kremlin’s wildest dreams, and shows exactly how and why Putin’s agenda lines up with the tech bros www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

So very interesting that in Alan Dershowitz’s deposition in January 2016, there were lots of questions about Clinton, but this volunteered answer about Trump (who was then running for president) was skipped over www.jmail.world/drive/COURT_...

A day after federal agents arrested Epstein in 2019, they were also apparently trying to contact 10 people they called potential 'co-conspirators,' according to a newly released email exchange. All the names were redacted except three: Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Leslie Wexner.

THIS is among the most important list of documents the public needs to see. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Festive thought. When men were about to stone an adulteress, Jesus said “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”. Trump could apologise, repent, atone. Others have for their misdeeds. But instead he just throws bigger and bigger rocks at people.

What I can’t fathom with Starmer is why he will capitulate on things which might cost him a few votes, but won’t move his red lines on things that could potentially secure him the next election.

Hyperbole is literally killing me

"The flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case”

Quite a journey we’ve been on in the last couple of decades haven’t we? From bankers too big to fail To billionaires too rich to jail

And here’s the prelude describing some of the shenanigans in British politics which will take us from 2012, through the Maidan, Brexit, Trump and the elevation of Boris Johnson. So much more to come….

Just an experiment using the clip function in substack, and an explanation why I think an epic poem is the most effective way to beat the bots and describe Putin’s 13 year hybrid war against the West pdjukes.substack.com

I’m sure Russia knows what we are going to do before the American people since they have so many people serving in the Trump admin sharing intel with them.

Putin’s Plot Against ‘Great’ Britain – And How He Got Away With It – Byline Times

I'm very glad this is breaking properly. The rather saintly Carole Cadwalladr was pilloried by the establishment; Andrew Neil tried to categorise her as a mad cat woman. I seem to recall the Speccie had all sorts of paid for Russian puff stuff going on too. Coincidental, obvs... but indicative.

Worth re-reading:

The notice about a delay in showing the segment "Inside CECOT" only released a few hours prior to the episode airing.

In this instance, falsely, yes. If there is other genuine evidence implicating anyone - let them all go hang

I inherited a Moors versus Conquistadores chess set from my parents they bought in Spain. In suitably festive fashion, it’s been rearranged to the reality of London now

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Of course someone has mad a mirror site of the Epstein files - so every time some DOJ stooge deletes something incriminating to Trump, we can see their crimes in real time epstein-files-browser.vercel.app

The cover up always incriminates you as much as the crime

It calls into question the integrity of anything in the files. How could any of it ever be used in a legal setting if the origin of materials is unknown and random people have snuck material in. How has the justice department allowed this to happen!

Diana Ross , Bill Clinton and the Michael Jackson family should put in a defamation claim of $10 billion against the government and Trump and I’m sure the chance of success is much greater than the $5 billion lawsuit issued to the BBC!

Head of UA intelligence Budanov: Russia planned to begin aggression against NATO countries by 2030, but has now revised its plans, aiming to occupy the Baltic states in/by 2027. Poland, according to him, is viewed by Russia solely as a target for strikes, a military campaign w/o occupation.

Apparently, black is the new orange.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

"Carole Cadwalladr and I have documented in the award-winning Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring, how the Kremlin was trying to suborn the Conservative Party and UKIP long before Gill was taking envelopes of cash from Medvedchuk’s bagman"

The manipulation of the Epstein files by the Trump administration to falsely implicate political rivals is not only extraordinarily malevolent — it’s also extraordinarily inept. Surely some kind of crime is being committed here by the DOJ
