NEW: Ex-staff of THREE Labour government cabinet ministers, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, are now working for a firm led by a former Israeli intelligence officer. Online records are being removed, but I’ve got the screenshots. Here’s what they are trying to hide:🧵

Hegseth accuses Iran of exporting "a violent, messianic Islamist ideology chasing some sort of apocalyptic endgame"

Donald Trump made a Pearl Harbor "joke" while meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi. "Who knows better about surprise than Japan?.. Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" The room went silent, and he looked around for a validation.

In the last few days, I’ve seen videos of men following the Iranian women’s team, harassing them and filming them without consent. Now we’re seeing a car put their lives in this level of danger. None of this is being reported by mainstream media, by the way.

Slovenia recognized a Palestinian state, called out Israel's genocide in Gaza, and became the first EU state to ban weapons trade with Israel. Now it seems a Israeli spy firm maybe trying to manipulate Solvenia's elections.

🚨🇸🇮 BREAKING | Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube has been spying on and secretly recording center-left Slovenian officials and their allies in the months leading up to a crucial national election, according to a new investigation by the storied Eastern European magazine Mladina. 🔹The report says operatives posing as representatives of a fake British investment fund called “Stockard Capital” lured Slovenian political figures into meetings and secretly recorded them, including former Justice Minister Dominika Švarc Pipan, during staged business meetings in Vienna and other locations. 🔹Mladina also reports that senior Black Cube figures met right-wing opposition leader Janez Janša in Ljubljana on December 22, 2025. Then, roughly ten days before the election, edited videos of government figures began appearing anonymously online on a site called anti-corruption2026(dot)com. 🔹Black Cube became internationally notorious for working on behalf of Harvey Weinstein, conducting covert surveillance of journalists and attempting to gather damaging information on women who accused the convicted rapist. This operation to target government figures echoes their previous efforts. 🔹The scandal lands in the middle of an election where Slovenia’s stance on Palestine has been a significant dividing line. Prime Minister Robert Golob’s center-left government has taken one of the strongest pro-Palestine positions in the EU. Slovenia recognized the State of Palestine in 2024, imposed a total arms embargo on Israel in 2025, has announced intention to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the ICJ, and banned imports from illegal Israeli settlements. 🔹Janša’s right-wing opposition opposed recognizing Palestine and maintains close ties with Israeli leadership. Black Cube is often described as a “private Mossad” because of its links to Israeli intelligence networks (it was founded by former members of Israeli military intelligence Unit 8200) and to figures close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The firm’s alleged role in the election is likely to raise questions among European leaders about what Netanyahu knew about the operation, Drop Site’s Ryan Grim reports. More from him below ⬇️

🚨A paramedic in southern Lebanon responded to a strike on a home in the town of Bazouriyeh, doing what he has likely done countless times before - rushing toward destruction to save whoever might still be alive. When he arrived, he realised it was his parents’ house. There was no one to save. “They’re gone… my mother and my father.” The cruelty of it is unbearable. He spends his life racing in an ambulance to save others. But he could not save his own. This is what Israel’s war does. It doesn’t just kill. It turns those who come to rescue into those left to mourn.

🚨UPDATE -- Declassified asked the UK Foreign Office to issue a statement about Israel's targeting of British journalist Steve Sweeney in Lebanon earlier today. The Foreign Office has not bothered to respond.

Any minute now his industry colleagues from the Guardian, Times, BBC, Sky News, LBC and Channel 4 will express solidarity in the face Israel’s barbaric targeting of a journalist. Any minute now.
