Avid reader. Retweets may or may not mean agreement, but are something I find interesting or thought provoking.

As a Soviet historian who has spent years writing about the extreme, repressive control Soviet Communism exercised over its unfortunate citizens, I find it really hard to bring a similar accusation against the Labour government and Keir Starmer. But I’m finding it increasingly difficult to avoid that conclusion. We have no Gulag or death penalty, admittedly, but what Labour and the old Soviet regime do have in common is the arrogant belief that they alone hold the moral high ground and that this entitles them to the total control over all those who do not share their worldview. And like the Soviets of old their tools of control are the same… - legislation and co-opted courts and civil service to apply it - the policing of dissent, by hate crime orders, arrests (@glinner), the long term seizure of electronic appliances (@CF_Farrow) to intimidate even those against whom no charges are finally brought. - controlling free speech (12,000 arrests annually for social media posts in 2025). George Orwell’s ‘thought crime’ persecution has become a reality under Labour. - framing dissent (the Unite the Kingdom participants) as racism and far right fascism (Stalin started that in the days when Labour was his captive party, the 1930s, and ‘fascist’ has remained their favoured mantra ever since) - attacking and weakening the family (because the family is so often a place where small ‘c’ conservative values are transmitted down the generations), including the promotion of trans ideology to confuse children in their understanding of the roles of men and women, mothers and fathers. In their eyes women can have penises and ‘heteronormativity’ must be ‘smashed’. - education, wrested as Marx decreed, from the middle class (private schools and VAT), and used as a vehicle for the state propagandising of children and youth at their most vulnerable age. … and much more. In short, I can reach no other conclusion. Under Labour, Britain is becoming a repressive state which is, incredibly, echoing the very characteristics of repression that any former resident of the Soviet Union or its satellite states would recognise today (and they do and tell us so) And with every opportunity Keir Starmer has to rein that in, he instead doubles down. Month by month things get worse. This is 2026. I can’t believe what I am seeing. Or what I’m saying. But, yes, it is going on. And only a majority government of either Tories or Reform (and I do have reservations about both) of a coalition of two can reverse this. … or we are sunk

🚨 RESPECT ORDERS - You don’t need to break the law to be criminalised in Britain. You just need to annoy the wrong person. The government is pushing through something called a Respect Order, part of the new Crime and Policing Bill now moving through Parliament. Respect Orders are civil, not criminal, so they don’t require a jury or criminal standard of proof. Just someone saying you’re causing a nuisance, even online! 
If someone complains, that you're too loud, too disruptive, too opinionated, you can be banned from: ▪️Posting on social media ▪️Attending a protest ▪️Speaking in a public place ▪️Even entering certain areas All without ever being charged with a crime. And if you break the order?
well … that’s a crime. You could be fined, arrested, or jailed for up to two years. It’s pre-crime policing and It’s about control, not safety. It’s a ban on dissent.

#ÚLTIMAHORA VLADIMIR PUTIN 🇷🇺 ¡Rusia nunca ha sido y nunca será su enemigo! No queremos materias primas y riquezas europeas, tenemos nuestras propias materias primas y riquezas, no necesitamos en absoluto sus materias primas. Rusia es el país más rico del mundo en términos de materias primas. No queremos su tierra ni su territorio. Miren qué amplia es Rusia en el mapa. Rusia es el doble del tamaño de toda Europa en un solo lugar. ¿Para qué necesitaríamos su tierra, qué hacemos con ella? ¿Por qué creen que Rusia es enemiga de Europa? ¿Qué daño les ha hecho Rusia? ¿Les hemos vendido gas y materias primas a precios más bajos que los precios a los que sus "amigos" les venden actualmente? SÍ ¿Rusia sacrificó a 20 millones de personas en la Segunda Guerra Mundial para deshacerse de los nazis? SÍ ¿Fue Rusia el primer país que ayudó a Europa durante la pandemia de COVID? SÍ ¿Ayudamos a Europa cuando hubo incendios y desastres naturales? SÍ ¿Qué les ha hecho Rusia que la odian tanto? Rusia no es vuestro enemigo; vuestros verdaderos enemigos son vuestros dirigentes, aquellos que os dirigen". Vladimir Putin dixit.. -

I was entirely peaceful on January 6, yet the federal government arrested me on 30 years of federal charges (21.5 years of charges were thrown out for being bogus before Trump even won re-election). I lost my job. I had to delay the completion of my PhD. I was banned from Facebook, Instagram, and PayPal. I used up my savings and had to go into debt. I also had to fight in court for four years to defend against the false allegations brought against me. I was never convicted of a single crime, yet my life was crushed by the fascist weaponization of government.

🚨 Mark Cuban endorsed Kamala Harris in October 2024.. campaigned for her.. appeared on her trail.. was one of her most visible surrogates.. 18 months later he's standing at the White House next to Trump.. laughing on camera.. and here's the consequence math nobody is running.. Cuban built Cost Plus Drugs in 2022 to cut out the middlemen on generic prices.. Trump built TrumpRX to do the same thing for uninsured Americans.. the two platforms just merged into the same stage.. that means every uninsured family paying full price for fertility drugs or GLP-1s just got access to both distribution networks at once.. not because Cuban changed his politics.. because Trump didn't care that he hadn't.. the reporter tried to make it awkward.. "he endorsed Kamala Harris back in 2024".. Trump: "Well, he made a mistake!" Cuban: 🤣🤣🤣 think about what that means.. the fastest way to lower your drug bill wasn't a Senate vote.. it was two guys who disagreed on everything except the one thing that matters to your pharmacy receipt.. Trump has done this before.. First Step Act.. Abraham Accords.. every room where a former opponent showed up willing to deal.. the grudge was never the point.. the deal was.. and your prescription just got cheaper because of it. I'll share more details shortly so turn on notifications, this is VERY important.

💥NEW: Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert: “I’ve had plenty of patients who hated, disliked Joe Biden or Kamala Harris … They certainly never wanted any of those people to be killed.” “And the difference is on the Left I have patients whether they’re in their 20s, 50s, 60s, and even older who actually want Trump to be killed.” “And that’s just to me sick pathologic thinking.”

On the afternoon of Wednesday June 24, 2020 Isaih Martin walked up to a racist nightmare that nothing could’ve ever prepared him for… Notes!!!! YOU DON’T BELONG HERE ALL LIVES MATTER N*GGER Brave Isaih resisted the urge to go to the emergency room and soldiered on. While the mean words were far worse than other racist incidents of white people getting their heads kicked in by unhinged lunatics, he was going to show that he was stronger than that. So he reported it to the police. His story spread across campus and his twitter post was shared over 10 thousand times! “Racism is here in college station and that problem needs to be addressed and brought up and needs to be fixed,” said Martin. Texas A&M President even announced a $1,200 reward for information leading to an arrest.. Well, that $1,200 reward would unfortunately never get to be cashed, because in a SHOCKING TWIST surveillance footage revealed that it was ISAIH HIMSELF who left the notes!! Of course no charges were pressed.

The Stories the West Refuse to Cover ! ◾A 11 year old girl from Bakhmut tells how the "white angels" of the Ukrainian Army kidnapped children at gun point and shoot at civilians being evacuated by Wagner troops: - They introduced themselves as a kind of military police. And they were looking for children. I was in the basement. They said, Russia killed your mother. We have to take you out, like, to Germany... a lot of people started swearing at these "white angels", cursing them. A week later they returned. - There was a little girl at the New Market, four years old. Her parents were hiding, there was shelling. The "white angels" arrived, threw the girl into the car, and the parents just stood there dumbfounded. The Ukrainians took the child and left. The parents had no choice because the guns were pointed at them. - When they were bringing me out at the end, Vasya, a Russian sniper, was with me. He covered me. And there was someone else. I don't remember his name. He also covered me.

Since 2014 coup in Kiev , there have been reports of children going missing by the 100s and suspected child sex slavery and organ harvesting . In 2023, Ukrainian military were kidnapping children near the combat zones, civilians in Avdeevka and Bakhmut hide their kids from them: This was confirmed by the head of the Avdeevka Civil-Military Administration, Vitaly Barabash: -" they are really crazy... telling there are no kids in town, they were moved to the relatives. But not one of them gave us any proof of that... The police are going inside the house, mother and father are there, but not the child. They searched the entire building - nothing. So, they are hiding them. Therefore, we hide them or escape" "a house with a family was mysteriously shelled after a visit from the Ukrainian army evacuation team. The woman refused to leave with them and that night the house was hit, a 5 months old baby was killed." A similar story was told by a resident of Bakhmut where Ukrainian military kidnapped children to force the whole family to evacuate to Ukraine. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, together with the organizations "White Angel" and "Phoenix", forcibly took children out of Bakhmut in order to force their parents to evacuate to the territory of Ukraine. ◾This was told by Natalya Tkachenko, a local resident and mother of a 13-year-old girl. Children, according to her, were specially sought out, and in case of refusal to leave, they were taken away by force. - Therefore, we had a period when we simply hid our children. We hid them in cold apartments, hid at other addresses, in other basements, that is, not where they were registered or seen before. - If the car drove into the yard or appeared somewhere, the adults would quickly take the girls, go to other floors they had keys for, close them into cold apartments, and they sat still as a mouse until the cars left.

To end the anti-immigration protests, Dutch police have received orders to start threatening mothers that their children will be taken away. I messaged one such mother yesterday (the one in the video below). Her husband was arrested and detained for 2 hours just for being present at a protest. She is terrified and won't be protesting again. Dutch media wrote about these 'family outings' last week. The presence of women and children apparently threatens to normalize 'the far right'. But it's the government that is radicalizing. The mayor of one town suggested to bring in the Dutch military to take over from the police. Police forces don't like it that the public have started to truly hate them.

Imagine being sent to prison, hit with 3 years probation, losing your family, job and privacy. Labeled a “domestic terrorist” and “insurrectionist” by the entire nation all for a false narrative pushed by liberal politicians and media. That’s my life. My actions were at most a summary offense. I never touched a door knob. Capitol Police let me inside after tear-gassing and flash-banging me outside. This was pure shock-and-awe politics. And now liberals wanna cry about righting the wrong, too bad. Justice is coming.
