In this interview, former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele discusses potential links between Jeffrey Epstein and Russian intelligence. Steele suggests that Epstein may have functioned as an agent of influence or facilitation, citing Poland’s investigation into the matter and Epstein's early connections to Russian organised crime in New York during the 1970s. Christopher Steele: I think anyone who knows about Russia and Poland is aware that the Poles actually have very sophisticated understanding of Russia and a good counter-intelligence capability. And for them to be so overtly saying that they think the Russians were behind the Epstein operation is—gives us pause for thought and we should certainly be liaising with them and taking it very seriously. Interviewer: So far the story's been about certain celebrity figures, certainly certain high-profile characters, but this is shifting, isn't it, in a different direction? Do you think though, looking at—we're looking at pictures of Jeffrey Epstein there—do we think that the man that we're seeing on the screen now, was he a Russian agent do you think? Was he compromised sufficiently by the Kremlin to have been operating by them and gathering information and operating to compromise other figures in the West? Christopher Steele: Yes, it's important to be clear about definitions here when we talk about people being agents. There are different sorts of agents. But if you're talking about facilities, facilitation, and if you're talking about influence, which are two of the aspects of work that agents can perform for hostile foreign powers, then I think he almost certainly was an agent. And my contacts in America tell me that without doubt Epstein's career, if we can call it that, began in the 1970s in New York, and that at that point he was basically in touch with Russian organised crime groups at Brighton Beach. And as you probably know, there is little, certainly these days, light between Russian organised crime groups and Russian intelligence. And that is how he would have been picked up and recruited and trained and run back against this celebrity network.”

🚨OMG: In a historically shocking moment, Donald Trump just went further than ever before - openly praising authoritarian rule. “I’m a dictator… but sometimes you need a dictator.” The mask all the way coming off. Anyone still pretending this is normal is lying to themselves.

Macron Freezes Trump Out at Davos French President Emmanuel Macron made it clear that there will be no courtesy call with Donald Trump on the sidelines of Davos. Bluntly stating that he does not intend to speak to the U.S. president during the forum. The remark was widely read as deliberate rather than logistical, underlining how strained transatlantic relations have become and signaling that Europe is no longer eager to play diplomatic extra when Washington oscillates between provocation and unpredictability. The message was simple and unmistakable: access to Europe’s leaders is no longer automatic, and respect is now a prerequisite rather than an assumption.

Remarkable speech from @MarkJCarney, urging allies to stop playing along with great-power intimidation. Compliance won’t buy safety, he warns. Stop appeasing bullies. Carney draws applause. Citing Václav Havel, he says it’s "time for companies and countries to take their signs down." Under communism, ordinary people displayed slogans like "Workers of the world, unite!" even when they didn’t believe them, rituals of compliance meant to avoid trouble. Coercion, Havel argued, wasn’t always enforced through violence, but through quiet, everyday participation in a lie. Carney receives a standing ovation at the end of his speech. Extraordinary to see Canada asserting this kind of moral and strategic leadership, something we haven’t witnessed on the world stage in decades, especially at a moment when we have so much to lose if Trump chooses retaliation.

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world My English sub-titles 👇

The Trump administration is disgusting! Yesterday, ICE raided a home on St. Paul’s East Side. Their target was ChongLy Scott Thao, an elderly Hmong American man. He’s a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Armed ICE agents broke down the door without presenting a valid warrant, entered with guns drawn, and handcuffed him in front of his 5-year-old grandson, who was left crying and traumatized. This happened in sub-zero conditions, with wind chills near -30°F. Thao was dragged outside wearing only shorts, a blanket, and Crocs and marched through the snow. ICE then drove him around for nearly an hour, questioned and fingerprinted him, confirmed he was a citizen and not the person they were looking for… and dropped him back at home. No apology. No explanation. No accountability. Is this what you voted for?

BREAKING: New video footage released by France's leader Emmanuel Macron exposes Trump's lie on the war in Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy accepted the ceasefire. Putin is the roadblock to peace. Why would Trump lie about this?

BREAKING: A French media report says Ukrainian intelligence stopped sharing high-value intelligence with the U.S. after concluding American leaks were reaching Moscow, citing a severe breakdown of trust during the Trump administration. The claim is attributed to senior Ukrainian intelligence leaders. Between this and the Greenland mess, can we just impeach Trump already?

Statement from the Nobel Foundation One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed. For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-re…

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Federal judges say the U.S. government lied in 35+ court cases, falsified records, fake declarations, sworn statements built on fiction. This isn’t a paperwork mistake. It’s systemic deception. When judges and legal scholars are saying it looks intentional, the rule of law is already on life support.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt drops a chilling warning on AI's future "Within 5 years, AI could handle infinite context, chain-of-thought reasoning for 1000-step solutions, and millions of agents working together. Eventually, they'll develop their own language... and we won't understand what they're doing." His final words: "Pull the plug." This is the man who ran Google talking about the singularity. 2:59 clip inside—must-watch.

Elon Musk isn't running a 'free speech' platform; he’s running a propaganda machine for the far-right. Watch MEP Alexandra Geese blast the way X and TikTok are being used as weapons of war to divide the Europeans and boost putin’s puppets. She’s 100% right—why do we let these tech bros do things online that would be illegal on any TV station? Massive respect to her for calling out the empty seats in the room, too. Alexandra Geese, German politician and Member of the European Parliament: "putin, Trump and Musk have declared war against you. The destruction of the European Union has been putin’s goal for years. And now, with a national security strategy, Trump has joined the club. And their goals are clear. A weak and divided European continent, a polarized society and far-right parties of power. And I'm looking at every group in this house, except the far-right corner where the putin’s friend sits. And I'm looking at the European Commission. putin, Trump and Musk have declared war against you! They want you out. They want everybody out who fights for democracy. And they have a powerful weapon. And they're using it. Social Media. Elon Musk systematically downranks, that means censors, speech of pro-European political parties, violating our freedom of expression. In turn, he boosts pro-putin parties that want to destroy the European Union. And the evidence from Germany, Poland and UK is overwhelming and we want finally the European Commission to investigate this. And X is not the only one. TikTok force-feeds far-right content to people who do not choose it. Would we tolerate one party getting 80% of the TV space in a democracy? No, we would not! Then why do we accept that social media oligarchs impose this on our citizens in the online world? Why do we accept that the whole business model of social media is hate? Commissioner McGrath [commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection] you just said peace comes from respecting people, not from dividing them. So why do we accept the business model of an information online ecosystem that is built on dividing people? That is built on spreading hate? Colleagues, Commissioner, my constituents are deeply concerned about these attacks on our democracy. They're asking Europe to fight. But the person who could do that today is not even in the room. Executive Vice-President Virkunnen has something more urgent to do than to listen to the concerns of citizens in parliament, and I hope she's not meeting a big tech company. Tyranny requires our fear and our silence. Democracy requires courage and it requires us to speak up. And I'm speaking up. I will not be silent and I'm asking the European Commission to stand up for Europe.”

Why do western leaders talk to Trump? Just tell him to learn something and also to behave! An ignorant brute such as Trump should have no place in international politics and certainly not in diplomacy.

Israel has officially come out in support of Russia. Netanyahu brags about being in daily communication and coordination with Putin. Israel is also invested in attacking the EU due to Europe still upholding international law and the ICC.
