We’ve cancelled our Paramount subscription. Reports suggest the company’s new CEO David Ellison may be punishing actors who spoke out against the genocide in Gaza.

This seems important, which explains why there’s no media coverage.

Francesca Albanese UN Special Rapporteur has been sanctioned by the US government for speaking out in favour of humanity. she can no longer use a credit card, rent a car, or open a bank account, due to the historic U.S. decision to sanction her. “I am treated almost like Osama bin Laden, and I find it horrible!
Most of you are gonna tell me i'm wrong, but it needs to be said anyway: Trade schools for plumbing, electricians, carpenters, culinary arts, and more deserve just as much respect as any four-year university. 💪🎓🔧

Francesca Albanese: “I'm the first UN person to be sanctioned. A US sanctioned person risks to be arrested and to be subjected to very heavy fines.. I'm Treated Almost Like Osama Bin Laden” She is paying the price for speaking the truth!

The US economy is not real; it's just a big billionaire Ponzi scheme. 75% of Tesla shareholders approved a $1 TRILLION pay package for Elon Musk. $1,000,000,000,000. Tesla only made $7.13 billion in net income in 2024. This is so stupid it defies basic math and reality itself

Chemical companies called her "hysterical" and an "unmarried spinster." She was dying of cancer while they attacked her. Her book started the environmental movement. They tried to destroy her. She won. Rachel Carson was 54 years old, already one of America's most celebrated nature writers. Her book The Sea Around Us had spent 86 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. With great Sketches! She was respected, successful, financially secure. She could have retired comfortably, written more lyrical books about the ocean, enjoyed her success. Instead, she wrote a book that would make her the most hated woman in corporate America. Silent Spring hit bookstores in September 1962. Within months, it changed everything. But the chemical industry—worth billions of dollars—decided to destroy her. And Rachel Carson was dying. They just didn't know it yet. Rachel had grown up loving nature. As a child in rural Pennsylvania, she'd explored forests and streams, collected specimens, dreamed of becoming a writer. She'd become a marine biologist at a time when women in science faced constant discrimination. She'd worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, writing bulletins about conservation, studying ocean ecosystems. In 1951, she published The Sea Around Us—a poetic exploration of ocean science that became a surprise bestseller. Suddenly, Rachel Carson was famous. She could write full-time. She was happy. Her life was good. Then, in 1958, she received a letter from a friend, Olga Huckins. Olga described how state officials had sprayed DDT pesticide over her private bird sanctuary. Afterward, birds died by the hundreds. The sanctuary was silent. Rachel had been hearing similar stories. DDT—dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane—was being sprayed everywhere. On crops. On forests. On suburban neighborhoods to kill mosquitoes. Children played in yards where DDT had just been sprayed. And birds were dying. Eagles. Falcons. Songbirds. Their eggshells were thinning. Chicks couldn't survive. Entire species were declining. Rachel started researching. What she found horrified her. DDT and other synthetic pesticides were poison. Not just to insects—to everything. They accumulated in soil, in water, in the bodies of animals and humans. They moved up the food chain, concentrating at higher levels. Birds of prey were especially vulnerable. And nobody was regulating them. Chemical companies were making billions selling pesticides, claiming they were perfectly safe. Government agencies accepted the companies' safety claims without independent testing. Rachel decided to write about it. She knew it would be controversial. The chemical industry was powerful. But the truth needed to be told. She spent four years researching. Reading scientific papers. Interviewing researchers. Documenting case after case of pesticide damage. And then, in early 1960, she found a lump in her breast. Cancer. Rachel's doctors recommended aggressive treatment: surgery, radiation. The prognosis wasn't good. Breast cancer in 1960 was often fatal. She could have stopped writing. Focused on her health. Told her publisher the book would be delayed indefinitely. She didn't. She had surgeries. She endured radiation treatments that left her weak and nauseated. She lost her hair. And she kept writing. She wrote in hospital beds. She wrote between treatments. She wrote through pain and exhaustion. Because she knew: if she didn't finish this book, nobody would. And people needed to know the truth. Silent Spring was completed in early 1962. It was published in September, first serialized in The New Yorker, then as a book. The response was explosive. Silent Spring opened with a haunting passage: a description of a town where spring came, but no birds sang. The orchards bloomed, but no bees pollinated. Children played in yards dusted with white powder, and then got sick. It wasn't fiction. Rachel was describing what was already happening in towns across America. Via A Solo Traveller

Jessica Tarlov said what every official’s too afraid to admit: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.” Seven strikes. Thirty-two dead. Zero indictments. That’s not “national security.” That’s extrajudicial murder with better PR.

Western media is essentially ignoring Gaza, not because there’s nothing to report but because they want you to forget.

I am giving Republicans every opportunity in the world to DO THE RIGHT THING and work with Democrats to save the health care tax credits. But Republicans have agency. I can’t force them to save health care for their own constituents.
🚨The victim of Israel's gang rape on camera has been identified (I'll withhold his name until he speaks on the record) IDF soldiers raped him so violently until they exploded his intestines & raptured his rectum He underwent 20 surgical operations, inc. colostomy & urostomy, & is still suffering medical complications until now Israel released him 3 weeks ago without him ever being charged or tried. They likely released him so he wouldn't be able to testify at court against his rapists who are still at large. The victim is now fearful for his life; he could be killed in any Israeli strike to cover up this atrocity The IDF top lawyer who opened a sham investigation into this incident a year ago has just been fired, disgraced, detained & is herself now being investigated. Her only reason for launching a probe into this rape incident (out of hundreds of others that are never investigated) is because this one was caught on camera & the victim was hospitalized with a detailed medical record, so she started her "investigation" to prevent the ICC from intervening

Replying to @WalterAppling
The investigation, with a proposed $2.5 million budget, would thrust New Mexico [among] probes into Epstein’s associations that is roiling the U.S. Congress and prompted King Charles III on Thursday to formally strip brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of the title of prince.

NEW: Leaked emails show that Jeffrey Epstein helped arrange talks between the Israeli government and Cote d'Ivoire that culminated in the signing of a formal defense agreement in 2014. Epstein made introductions and held meetings between Ivorian leaders and Israeli intelligence-linked firms and individuals that helped lay the groundwork for the deal that helped flood Cote d'Ivoire with Israeli surveillance tech. This is the latest entry in a series of stories about Epstein's links to the intelligence world, including in Africa. Link in next post:
No one could have possibly predicted that allowing federal agents to wear ski masks & not identify themselves would lead to lawlessness. This is just one of the reasons we passed legislation to ban this shit.
