Had this pinned to my profile when it suddenly disappeared, no notification, no nothing, just poof 🤔. So, here it comes again: "Resist the beginnings and consider the end. But one must foresee the end in order to resist, or even see, the beginnings" - Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free From Glenn Greenwald's phenomenal speech in Toronto: [Censorhip like Bill-63] is not just a Canadian issue. It's taking place all over the democratic world. It's completely interconnected. One of the strategies is to see how far every country can go and then that sets the bar that much lower for how far other countries can go. We've seen new censorship laws in the EU, in the UK, in Scotland, Ireland throughout South America and even in the US. It's all feeding off of each other, every country serves as a laboratory for the other countries, that's why it's so vital to resist it because it will feed [censorship] in other countries. It should be shocking and alarming to even think that there's a law like this, yet there's nowhere near enough people up in arms about it. I believe there are two important reasons for this: 1. As citizens of western countries, we have been inculcated from birth to believe that there are those tyrannical, authoritarian countries that are enemies on the other side of the world like China, Iran, North Korea, Russia...those are the bad countries that deny freedom, we are the democratic world, we stand for feeedom. It's embedded in our thought process so when you try and tell somebody who lives in a western country that there is now tyranny and authoritarianism in your country, there's an instinctive unwillingness to believe that it could possibly be taking place here, almost an instinctive aversion to believing it about our own societies . It' s very dangerous because authoritarianism and tyranny is not about one particular country or one particular political culture, it's about human nature and the ability and eagerness of human beings once they get power to crave more and more of it. And western leaders - as they are showing - are not immune to that. Even all of us alarmed by these things have this embedded in us so you feel this desire to move away from these extreme terms like 'authoritarianism' and 'tyranny' as though it can never happen in our free and democratic western countries. IT ABSOLUTELY CAN AND IT ABSOLUTELY DOES and I think it's very important to make sure we resist that temptation. 2. It is not an abrupt change from one day having free speech to the next day having all-consuming censorship, it's an incremental process, it goes inch by inch by inch. And every time an inch is taken, that is what then becomes normalized and accepted and then the next inch is taken, and the next and now you're many yards from where you began but you haven't been shocked because it's been done very gradually and it's accustomized you along the way. And suddenly there's this suffocating stranglehold around your neck that you didn't realize was being put there because it started out as this warm, soft embrace and it's got tighter and tighter.”

@aleksbrz11 America is essentially Israel now

🚨BREAKING The US has blacklisted Judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. ▪️Gouyou's credit cards have been canceled. ▪️He is banned from making online purchases.

Israel has the only military prison in the world designated for children. There, they are subjected to beatings, torture, and rape on a regular basis. Conviction rates in the courts reach 99.7%. Of course, this applies only to Palestinian children.

A note from Netanyahu's political office, leaked to Israeli media, lists individuals Netanyahu considered key political supporters and funders including Rupert Murdoch among some very recognizable names. Bloomberg reported this week that Murdoch personally called Trump multiple times urging him to strike Iran. Netanyahu himself has said of Murdoch: "He was always a staunch supporter of Israel and viewed it as the foundation stone of the free world in the Middle East. Israel has not had a better friend." The man on Netanyahu's personal list lobbied the US president to go to war. The war is now in its fourth week.

It would take an entire conference of psychiatrists to diagnose whatever mental illness #Trump has ...

🚨 🇮🇱 🇱🇧 MASSIVE ETHNIC CLEANSING Israel is wiping out homes & bridges in lebanon on a MASS scale Over a MILLION are homeless, countless cut off from Ambulances, food, medicine, and essential supplies. The media is ignoring it. Our politicians support it. Boycott forever.

Family of Ashli Babbitt tells Owen Shroyer that MAGA is dead and Trump has betrayed his base.

THEY HAVE GOT THE NEW SCRIPT “Higher food and gas prices are worth it to make sure Iran doesn’t get nukes” “Freedom isn’t free”

Haaretz reports that the Israeli defence minister has ordered the IDF to flatten towns as they did in Gaza - The EU will probably condemn Lebanon soon

🚨 BREAKING: LEAKED Hand-Written Note From Netanyahu’s Office Lists Rupert Murdoch as KEY Financial Funder—Murdoch and Bibi Colluded To PRESSURE Trump’s Into Bombing Iran.😱 It has now been revealed that Rupert Murdoch—the man who controls the largest conservative media apparatus in the world—was a documented funder of Benjamin Netanyahu’s political office., and that he and Netanyahu worked together to pressure the Trump Administration into bombing Iran. @Lowkey0nline confronted a Murdoch employee with a leaked, handwritten note from Netanyahu’s own political office. On @piersmorgan's show—he produced a leaked, handwritten note from Netanyahu’s own office listing individuals considered to be his primary funders. Right there on the list? Rupert Murdoch This isn't just about campaign finance; it’s about influence. * For years, the Murdoch media machine has beat the drum for war in the Middle East. Now we know that while Murdoch was funding Bibi, both men were reportedly pressuring President Trump to bomb Iran. They didn't want a "peace deal" or "diplomacy"—they wanted a military strike to protect their shared interests and the global banking status quo. Watch how Piers Morgan reacts. He deflects, he minimizes, and he tries to pivot to anything else. Why? Because the media elites are all part of the same club. They don't want the public to realize that our foreign policy isn't being decided by the voters—it’s being auctioned off to the highest bidder. 🏦🚫 If a media mogul is funding a foreign leader and then using his platforms to pressure our President into a war, we don't have a "free press"—we have a propaganda arm for foreign interests. My loyalty is to the people under the bombs and the taxpayers being fleeced to pay for them. It’s time to stop the Murdoch-Bibi war machine before they drag us into a conflict we can never escape. 🇺🇸⚓️

🚨 BREAKING: Police uncover a YouTube view farm after a days-long sting—phones mounted to the ceiling running nonstop to generate fake views.

Prof Mearsheimer confirms Joe Kent's claim that the Israel lobby dragged America into war. He exposes how Lindsey Graham coached Netanyahu to manipulate Trump, and that top advisors Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are literal Israeli assets.

Operation Rolling Thunder. From 1965 to 1968, the United States conducted a sustained bombing campaign against North Vietnam. The goal was to break the will of the North Vietnamese government and people. To make the cost of continuing the war too high to bear. They dropped 864,000 tons of bombs. The will was not broken. So they escalated. Operation Linebacker. Operation Linebacker II, the Christmas Bombings of 1972: twelve days of around-the-clock bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, described by some U.S. generals as trying to "bomb them back to the Stone Age." Hospitals were hit. Residential areas were hit. Bạch Mai Hospital, the largest hospital in North Vietnam, was hit repeatedly. After the Christmas Bombings, the North Vietnamese negotiating position at the Paris Peace talks did not weaken. It strengthened. They bombed us into refusing to surrender. Every bomb that fell on a hospital, every family killed in their home, every village erased from the map created ten more people who would die before they accepted foreign domination. This is what American strategists, with all their degrees and all their think tanks and all their war games, failed to understand about the people they were trying to break. You cannot bomb dignity out of people who have decided they would rather die than give it up.

Hawaii is facing its worst flooding in over 2 decades. Over 5,500 people evacuated. Nebraska is facing historic wildfires. Over 800,000 acres burned. The country is facing one disaster after another, and President Trump, well…he’s golfing. America First.

Admiral Alvin Holsey, 37-year Navy veteran and first Black commander of U.S. Southern Command, resigned after clashing with Trump & Hegseth over controversial Caribbean boat strikes. Another leader choosing principle over silence.

BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen counter-intelligence experts specializing in Iran just DAYS before the US attacked Iran. Even crazier? Those same agents worked on Trump's classified documents case. The level of corruption and coverup is staggering.

🇺🇸🧐Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Netanyahu blackmailed Trump with recordings of his conversations with Epstein.

Retired 4-star admiral and former Navy SEAL William H. McRaven—the man who oversaw the mission that killed Osama bin Laden—delivered a blistering assessment of President Donald Trump. McRaven’s comments stood out not just for how direct they were, but for who they came from: a highly respected military leader warning about leadership, unity, and America’s standing in the world.

NEW from @nytimes: Netanyahu embraced a plan by the Mossad chief to ignite a regime change uprising in Iran for a quick victory. He used it to help convince Trump to start the war — despite doubts among some senior US and Israeli officials. It was a critical flaw in war plans.

A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone. In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery. In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years. A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years. Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply. Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story. One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

NY Times has essentially confirmed that Israel played a role in stimulating the violent regime change riots that left around 3000 dead in Iran this January 8 and 9, but which were marketed in the West as pro-democracy protests. It was well understood by the Mossad that those riots would help stimulate military action by Trump. Israeli intel merely needed to convince the feeble-minded president that a wave of decapitation strikes would unleash a massive upheaval to immediately topple the Islamic Republic. The January riots were presented to Trump as a preview of what was to come. Western media, including the NY Times and The Guardian, played a central role in legitimizing Israel's deception by falsely characterizing the violent regime change riots as mere protests, massively inflating the death toll and covering up the fact that many were murdered by the Israel-backed rioters themselves The whole of Western media and the Western human rights industrial complex deliberately misrepresented the real character of those riots. But now that the war they helped to instigate is going badly for the US and Israel, that same media is now free to reveal a few kernels of truth.
