@TomLondon6 Clearly not the words of John Cleese. A while back I noticed a Doctor Chapman saying the exact opposite to what he'd been saying about Covid for over 2 years. Then suddenly he's back saying his original stuff without any explanation. I can only conclude they've been 'got at'.

Is this BELOW - and a series of similar posts - actually John Cleese? Or has he been hacked? Or is he suffering precipitate mental decline? Or is he being blackmailed? Any other explanation for his vile racist bile is hard to believe

@TheCradleMedia So true. Israel has developed the world's most advanced methods of killing people. They're so proud, as indeed Musk appears to be.

VIDEO | "I'm a huge admirer of the innovation coming out of Israel." Speaking remotely at this week's International Samson Smart Mobility Summit in Tel Aviv, Elon Musk praised Israel’s tech sector, predicting that AI will handle most driving within a decade and that humanoid robots could eventually outnumber humans. However, this celebrated Israeli innovation ecosystem, built heavily upon a colonial military-industrial complex, exposes a stark reality: its so-called "groundbreaking" technological advances are forged through lethal violence. Israel's pioneering advancements in autonomous hardware, predictive AI algorithms, and drone aviation are directly tested and refined through ongoing bombardment, occupation, and asymmetric warfare.

@SuzieWo20886208 Putin also laughed at suggestions that Russia might attack NATO as Russia's military is a fraction of the size of combined NATO countries. That rather makes it obvious that if Russia is determined to defend its borders they only have one option.

Three years ago the possibility of a nuclear option was suggested in Putin's cabinet and he rejected it. In November 2025 he changed his mind. The Americans/NATO allaince is a serious threat to Russian sovereign power and the continued aggression will not be tolerated.

@davidicke Yup. I heard Mullis say it in an interview about PCR. There are at least 50 known coronavirus strains and the PCR test would amplify most of them. Does it work on orthoebolaviruses? Obviously they're claiming it does.

Ebola diagnosis is with the PCR test that just keeps on giving thanks to its creator Kary Mullis dying months before the PCR 'Covid pandemic' - a test that Mullis would otherwise have been screaming as he did before: 'My PCR can't tell if you are sick and is capable of finding anything if the amplification is high enough.'

@nyneuropsych @prem_thakker I'm struggling to see anything racist in what Prem Thakker has posted. Your response however is the usual word mince of a man in the witness box trying to save himself.

You can't see past your racism. You take a movement that saved the Jews and turned it to hate. The hate is in you, not us. Your inhumanity is yours and yours alone. When you complain of bias look back at your posts. That hate you receive is what you've created. On this day when another place of worship and a community suffer a tragedy, you are the type who would justify and explain it away.

"Love Jews Hate Zionism." "A GENOCIDAL ISRAEL IS BAD FOR ALL JEWS." "Judaism saves, Zionism kills." A sample of what the ADL is counting as antisemitism — in data that lawmakers often cite to justify cracking down on speech or sending more aid to Israel: zeteo.com/p/adl-antisemi…

@HatsOffff He's just practicing being an Israeli. Killing the defenceless is all part of their upbringing.

@RnaudBertrand A capitalist country meeting with a socialist country on the future of AI. Could be interesting.

Excellent news for the world, sad news for Europe which - once again, because it has no voice or genuine capacity of its own - won't be at the table 🤷‍♂️ At least the table isn't only composed of the US, which is already something.

@EricLDaugh The Chancellor is speaking on behalf of the German people for a change. Most Germans I know would just love to see all the US bases shut down and all the US military go home. Do you really think he'd attack America on air if he thought Germans didn't agree?

🚨 UPDATE: After TRASHING America and siding with Iran, German Chancellor Merz just said he'd never "send my children to America, to get educated or work there" "Because of the social climate that has suddenly developed there." 🤡 This FREELOADER keeps attacking America and then expects us to keep subsidizing and shielding his country! Merz is a joke. Our "allies" have become SPOILED LEECHES. h/t @NaomiSeibt

@ArtCrunchy Agree 100%. We were once told that the 'nuclear deterrent' would end wars. Well it hasn't.

Given the destructive power of conventional missiles and bombs there is no longer any need for nuclear weapons and the world needs to come together to arrange the safe dispersal of all the plutonium to power stations. The world needs this to happen before some idiot destroys us.

"Megatons to Megawatts" Program: Between 1993 and 2013, a US-Russia agreement successfully repurposed 500 metric tons of uranium from decommissioned nuclear warheads, accounting for about 10% of total U.S. electricity generation during that time." Random information. 🙄

@ArtCrunchy I looked it up. They somehow blended 500 tonnes of weapons grade Uranium with low grade and came out with 14,000 tonnes of reactor fuel. For me the question is why did they produce 500 tonnes of 90% Uranium in the first place. The Hiroshima bomb used 64Kg.

@ArtCrunchy Any idea how they did it? Normally weapons grade Uranium can't be used in a reactor, and vice versa. Downgrading 90% enriched Uranium to, say 20% is quite expensive. That said, you can't just throw it away.

@ArtCrunchy Shhh...

Here's a crazy idea, why don't the Green Party invite Corbyn to be joint leader of the Green party? Labour is dead. YourParty is divided. Corbyn has a huge support base and is by a country mile the most prominent left voice in Britain. "United we stand. Divided we fall."

@JamesTate121 @ArtCrunchy Unfortunately, it is normal.

This is not normal.

@jacksonhinkle I disagree. What's going on in the Middle East is being managed by the US, not Israel. This accusation that it's Israel's doing and the US can't stop it is pure theatre. How convenient.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Senator Jeff Merkley on the Iran war: "Israel was the dog wagging the American tail. Does America not have the spine, the courage, the authority, to have simply told Israel 'no'? Well, apparently not."

@TomLondon6 I once met Hodge (née Oppenheimer) in her office. She has an air about her that makes people feel uncomfortable. Perhaps it's this kind of backstabbing.

CALLING OUT PROPAGANDA No.37 BRAZEN CYNICAL SMEARS can be very effective propaganda. In 2018, then Labour MP Margaret Hodge, who is a fierce and uncritical supporter of Israel, confronted then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in a place in the House of Commons where she knew there would be many witnesses and loudly called him “an antisemite and a racist”. She intended that her words would be widely reported, as they were. Neither of Hodge’s gross insults are true. Books have been written on the subject, and it is clear that Corbyn is neither an antisemite nor a racist – in fact he has been at the forefront of tackling racism and discrimination of all types for decades. On 12 May 2026, Hodge, now in the House of Lords, was introduced as a senior Labour grandee on Radio 4 flagship programme, Today, to discuss Keir Starmer’s leadership. She brazenly and cynically uses her live interview to call the Greens “an antisemitic party”. This is not true either; a few members making antisemitic comments online, and being dealt with, does not make the party itself antisemitic. Both Corbyn and the Greens leader Zack Polanski advocate for the rights of Palestinians and oppose Israeli crimes, including imposing apartheid, illegal occupations, war crimes and genocide in Gaza. Corbyn and Polanski have no difficulty in differentiating between opposing the actions of Israel and antisemitism. The purpose of Hodge’s smears is precisely to undermine first Corbyn and then the Greens by muddying the waters and conflating opposing the actions of Israel with antisemitism. Unfortunately, brazen and cynical smears by public figures with a certain credibility like Hodge do have an effect, above all with people who do not have knowledge of an issue beyond her words.

THREAD THREE of CALLING OUT PROPAGANDA (numbers 30 to 39) CALLING OUT PROPAGANDA No.30 “THAT’S A CONSPIRACY THEORY!” is a comment designed to ridicule, without needing to engage with an argument – and to warn others to stay away from the subject. SOME conspiracy theories may be rightly dismissed as “nuts” and fit for sneers about “tinfoil hats”. But others should not be so easily dismissed. People with power absolutely do conspire together in their mutual interest. It would be strange if they did not. Adam Smith, father of economics, famously wrote, “People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.” Here are just a few events previously derided as “conspiracy theories” which were or are “conspiracy facts”:- Watergate; various CIA coups; suppression of facts by the asbestos and tobacco industries about how their products are fatal; undercover police in protest groups; suppression of facts by the fossil fuel companies about the climate crisis. Michael Parenti is funny and trenchant: “[They mock]: “Do you actually think there’s a group of people sitting around in a room plotting things?” For some reason that image is assumed to be so patently absurd as to invite only disclaimers. But where else would people of power get together – on park benches or carousels? Indeed, they meet in rooms: corporate boardrooms, Pentagon command rooms, at the Bohemian Grove, in dining rooms at the best restaurants, resorts, hotels, and estates, in conference rooms at the White House, the NSA, the CIA, or wherever. And, yes, they consciously plot – though they call it “planning” and “strategizing” – and they do so in great secrecy, often resisting all efforts at public disclosure. No one confabulates and plans more than political and corporate elites and their hired specialists.”

@ComputerWeekly Planantir might well be capable of securing patient data, but that's not what campaigners are complaining about. It's the other businesses that Planantir are involved in. But then Samsung also make military equipment like tanks which they supply to Israel.

@ComputerWeekly No details about the actual new powers in this article. It's difficult to see what new powers the police need as they can currently confiscate any device and demand all passwords.

@TomLondon6 @rich_goldberg @nytimes The so-called atrocities carried out by the Palestinians is such an obvious lie I've always assumed it's only believed by those who want to believe it. Surely any fool can see that a hostage taking operation would need to be quick with no plan to do anything else.

.@rich_goldberg @nytimes story is credible & damning. No decent person should defend Israel’s gross atrocities Mail account comes from a “report” full of LIES composed of lurid & disgusting atrocity propaganda, cynically put out by Israel to deflect attention from NYTimes

@afshinrattansi The land of Free Speech.

‘How can you say ‘my people, my Iran’ and then invite them to come and bomb our people, our homeland?’ SHAME ON YOU.’ Iran’s Clown Prince Reza Pahlavi was confronted by an Iranian-American over his support for the US and Israel’s war against Iran. What Western media won’t tell you is that the late Shah, and his son, are hated by the majority of Iranians, even by those who consider themselves opposed to the Islamic Republic.

@TomLondon6 I once spoke to a German who had been a POW and taken to a prison camp in Texas. The POWs would sometimes meet locals who came to the fence to see the Germans. One of the locals asked "where are your horns"? Only in America.

CALLING OUT PROPAGANDA No.35 SOME MORE HISTORY OF PROPAGANDA Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Napoleon were all brilliant propagandists; a major reason why they are remembered as they are. However, it was not until World War 1 that governments first systematically deployed the entire range of modern media to manufacture their populations’ consent. This was a joint venture of the UK and the US. One central initial purpose of this anti-German propaganda was to persuade the US people that they should join the war. The UK/US propaganda was extremely successful in framing the war as a fight between civilisation and barbarism. The Germans were demonic “Huns”. The Allies claimed to stand for liberty and democracy (notwithstanding Empire and only wealthier men and no women having the vote).
