@evelynttremble @adamemedia1 Tom Hardy 'Was Not Fired' From 'MobLand,' Discussions Underway for His Return share.google/3UKp5JfuySXQhM…

@adamemedia1 Only Libtardation can post this nonsense, its actually comical & unexpectedly strange. I stand with Helen!

UPDATE: Helen Mirren has FAILED to get Tom Hardy fired. Instead the world found out she is a psychopath terrorist who loved taking part in literal ethnic cleansing. The pro-genocide media ganged up on Tom and tried to smear him. But the backlash was so great that Tom hardy has now NOT been fired. Total genocider defeat. Love to see it.

@MikeGinsberg6 @MouinRabbani Just confirmed his post. Nobody cares about your lies anymore

For decades, the choirmasters of the Nazi/Mufti/Soviet/Islamist (Gas) Chamber Orchestra have been trying to exterminate the Jews and calling it a Nakha (catastrophe) when they fail. 1945-survived Hitler & Mufti 1948--survived Mufti and Islamic genocidal armies 1956--survived more Islamic genocidal armies 1967--survived more Islamic genocidal armies 1973--survived more Islamic genocidal armies 2000--survived Arafat's Islamic genocidal armies 2023--survived Ayatollah/Nasrallah/Sinwar's Islamic genocidal armies You lose, every single time. So keep whining and terrorizing the world and begging the UN and global charities to manage Gaza for you. We'll keep living, winning Nobel Prizes, building a successful, thriving state, and contributing to the well-being of mankind.

For decades, the choirmasters of the Hasbara Symphony Orchestra have had a foolproof formula: 1. Spew lies, fabrications, hatred, and dehumanization about Palestinians and Arabs (and more recently, Muslims) like it’s going out of style; 2. When called out for concocting falsehoods and promoting bigotry, play the aggrieved victim, and accuse those who reveal their fabrications of anti-Semitism and support for terrorism; 3. Intimidate adversaries by reporting them to the authorities, their employers, and others with the power to punish them. Someone should inform Elon Musk’s pet demagogue those days are long gone, and never coming back.

@RnaudBertrand Are they not already selling subscriptions as credits?

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but Altman is right here, that's the right way of seeing AI models: AI is a general purpose technology and models will end up being a utility like electricity. In fact I'm somewhat surprised he's admitting to this because it makes companies like OpenAI or Anthropic a lot less valuable: it means they'll become mere commodities, much like telecom companies or electricity providers are. The real value will lie in the application layer - what you actually DO with AI - as opposed to the models themselves. Much like the real valuable companies enabled by the internet weren't the telecom companies but businesses like Google, Amazon or Alibaba. I actually wrote a whole article explaining exactly this last month titled "There is no AI race": open.substack.com/pub/arnaudbert…

@TaiwoAmodu5 @whales_medics @magic_baggins I responded earlier but I had to go to his profile to confirm 😅

@whales_medics @magic_baggins Oh he's a pharmacist 😭😭 Now it makes sensee

No bridge can solve this knowledge gap Too wide

@ssishuwa God willing, it will be another peaceful election.

@simple_cajun @RnaudBertrand @UnderSecE Problem is the way you understand kidnapping is like what you see in Hollywood movies

@RnaudBertrand @UnderSecE She wasn’t kidnapped. She was arrested in Canada. She admitted to lying. The case was eventually dismissed with prejudice and she is now in china. You’re just a CCP shill

This is pretty insane: the U.S. just tried to literally re-colonize part of the Philippines. They did so under the so-called "Pax Silica" initiative, the brainchild of - surprise, surprise - an ex-Palantir guy named Jacob Helberg who now runs U.S. economic "diplomacy" from the State Department. It's causing a big outcry in the Philippines, which is quite a feat given this is by far the most US-friendly country in Southeast Asia. If you're the US and you're getting the Marcos administration - of all governments - to push back on sovereignty, you've really overplayed your hand. What is the "Pax Silica" initiative? In a nutshell it's about the US getting other countries to commit to restructuring their AI tech infrastructure around a US-led stack. It's basically vendor lock-in: you hand over your critical minerals, align your export controls with Washington's, regulate AI the way America wants, and in return you get to be a US "trusted partner," whatever that means these days. In essence, let's not kid ourselves, it's all about China: this is the US's initiative to "win the AI race" by getting other countries to contractually commit to keeping China out of their tech supply chains. When you can't preserve your lead through innovation, you seek to lock countries in contractually. For instance as a country, this would mean telling Huawei they can't sell you AI chips, and telling Chinese firms they can't invest in your data centers - even if they're better and cheaper. It's not about choosing the best technology, it's about choosing the right flag. But in this instance, the US went much further still: they literally tried to carve out 4,000 acres of Philippine territory (in New Clark City, 60 miles north of Manila) to be governed under US common law with diplomatic immunity - the first arrangement of its kind anywhere in the modern world. This is according to the WSJ who ran the story last month (wsj.com/world/asia/u-s…) as if it was a done deal (it wasn't). Heard about the "French concession" or "British concession" in China during the century of humiliation? Same thing: the US basically asked for an "American concession" in the Philippines. Unsurprisingly, there was quite a bit of backlash in the country with for instance the Peasant Movement of the Philippines (KMP) calling it a “massive sellout” of the country’s land, minerals, and sovereignty (punto.com.ph/us-led-pax-sil…). So much so that the Philippines' government - namely Joshua Bingcang, president and chief executive of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) - issued a statement saying that the Philippines had rejected US proposals that would place the project beyond local jurisdiction (asianews.network/philippines-re…). Note, by the way, this delicious irony: the BCDA is the government agency that was created in 1992 specifically to convert former US military bases at Clark and Subic Bay after the Philippines spent decades negotiating their closure. New Clark City - where the Pax Silica's hub would go - is built on the old Clark Air Base. So the agency whose entire reason for existing is to turn former American colonial territory (i.e. US military bases) into sovereign Philippine land is the one now being asked to hand part of that very same land back under US jurisdiction (and, apparently, declined). Of course though, blocking this specific jurisdiction grab doesn't change the bigger picture. The Philippines is still a Pax Silica signatory, and Pax Silica itself is structurally neocolonial: you supply the cheap labor and raw materials, align your export controls and regulations with Washington's, cut yourself off from the world's rising technological powerhouse - and in exchange you get assembly jobs and the privilege of getting a pat on the head and being called a "trusted partner." They dropped the most cartoonishly colonial demand - governing Philippine soil under US law - but the underlying architecture is the same: you serve America's supply chain, on America's terms, and you relinquish your sovereign right to trade with whoever offers the best deal.

@TiberiusNazari @MatNuclear @mehdirhasan He read the hasbara book and now he thinks he knows history and wants to debate 😂😂 He couldn't even get any dates right

@MatNuclear @mehdirhasan You are not that smart. You need more military history education. Hizbullah was created after Israel attacked Lebanon in 1978. Houthi’s was attacked by coalition of Saudis, US, Qatar & UAE in 2014 they never attack any country before that. Hamas was created & funded by Mossad.

I am calling out @mehdirhasan to a debate, you quote tweeted me, let's do it. You can get the "Greenwald treatment."

@solobliss1 He is absolutely correct. You can only diagnosis an ulcer on endoscopy. Not all ulcers are due to H.pylori. Those tests just indicate presence of H.pylori. Upto 80% of the population can test + doesn't mean they all have ulcers.

Urea breath test? H.pylori STOOL antigen test? I don't think this is absolutely correct.

@Profsongiso @ssishuwa Do you honestly think Tembo went to register his party as a church?

@ssishuwa Sean tembo his records are not correct. Miles sampa chilufya withdrew. Some members of Parliament withdrew willingly. Chanda is bankrupt. What are you saying doc?

ELECTORAL EXCLUSION: The authorities in Zambia have prevented six opposition parties – including all the three former ruling parties – from fielding candidates for election to all public offices: president, member of parliament, mayor, council chairperson, and councilor.

@EskorMfon @mulengaxchanda Well the African countries can't manufacture "white, talentless footballers"..but for reference check SA national team. Also statistically speaking if only 1 white man plays in an African league, what are the chances of being selected? Or should they be selected because of color?

@mulengaxchanda I'm waiting to see how many African Countries have white people in their football teams.

I used to only read about it growing up as a Zambian kid, but seeing how angry people get about the number of Black players in the English and American squads reflects what many of us experience as dark-skinned people in corporate spaces too. They often pretend otherwise, but many genuinely struggle to believe that a Black man can be talented, articulate, educated, fashionable, well-mannered, and graceful. It drives them crazy. You have to literally experience it in real time. It leaves me speechless each day.

@LynneShasta40 @RepThomasMassie @grok @ScottJenningsKY Yes he will keep his promise and it's not what you think it is.

@RepThomasMassie @grok @ScottJenningsKY So. Many Christian’s support what the Bible says and thus support that Israel has a right to exist and that God will keep his promises to the Jewish people.

Thomas Massie chose to end his career with this despicable line about Congressman-elect Ed Gallrein: “I had to find him in Tel Aviv.” Rather than exit with dignity, Massie just proved President Trump was right to send him into early retirement.

@MouinRabbani They are used to stealing everything si they can't imagine other people have their own traditions

A persistent Hasbara Symphony Orchestra talking point is that the keffiyeh originated in Iraq, and it therefore can't be considered part of Palestinian sartorial culture. It's one more attempt to claim that Palestinians don't exist and never existed. The hasbara claim is that the Keffiyeh originated in Kufa, a city located in modern Iraq. How else could the word have possibly originated? Kufa was founded in the mid-seventh century CE. In other words, Israel flunkies are claiming the peoples of the Middle East wore baseball caps until then.

@Aoe21Aoe52 @nxt888 It was their land so they had every right to reject the partition..and you can't continue using that argument to justify your thefts and cruelty for the last 80yrs

@nxt888 The Palestinians did not want partition They rejected it They wanted it all - all the land from the River to the Saa That is the reason for all the blood letting for the past 78 years.

"Palestinian suffering is historically brought upon by themselves." This sentence is the most revealing thing you have written in this entire exchange. Not because it is uniquely callous. It is a commonly held position. But because it exposes, with unusual clarity, the foundational move that your entire argument has been making from the beginning. It assigns agency and therefore responsibility entirely to the Palestinians, and strips agency and therefore responsibility entirely from the Zionist movement, the British colonial government, the United States, and the international community. The Palestinian population did not bring upon themselves the Balfour Declaration, which was issued without their consent. They did not bring upon themselves the British Mandate policy of facilitating Jewish immigration against their expressed political objections. They did not bring upon themselves the UN partition plan, which was voted on by a body in which they had no representation. They did not bring upon themselves Plan Dalet, which was adopted by the Haganah two months before Arab armies entered. They did not bring upon themselves the expulsions at Lydda, at Haifa, at Jaffa, documented by Israeli historians, including Benny Morris, who names the commanders and describes the orders. What they did was resist. And you have classified resistance to dispossession as the cause of the dispossession. That is not history. That is the logic every colonial power has used about every colonized population that refused to accept its own elimination quietly.

@gh0st_CFC @ibromish @trigottista @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse Here washingtonpost.com/national-secur… reuters.com/world/middle-e…

@ibromish @trigottista @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse Do you have proof that the site still stands and is not obliterated?

So which Abu Bilal Minuki did The Nigerian Military kill in 2024? 😏

@davidfrum Exactly.. This us why I told the other guy that even those stories of Nazis using dogs to rape Jewish women were all fake...even if you Google bestiality porn you will see that it's not true..

Meanwhile, the "Jewish rape dogs" hoax has been refuted not because it's a slur against Jews, but because the American Kennel Club attests it's an impossibility for dogs.

In retrospect, it's quite baffling that "Jewish space lasers" became a joke rather than a widely repeated slur in its own right.

@skeptik38134254 @ryangrim What is difficult to believe about this??

@ryangrim obviously the claim that "no soldier ever" is not accurate and represents propaganda garbage. but this thing with dogs trained to rape"? come on.

A few weeks ago we published the first hand account of a German journalist raped in Israeli custody. She co-wrote the piece with an American journalist, who was also abused repeatedly. So Israeli prison guards will do that to Germans and Americans, but not to Palestinians?

@AlfawazHamd @J_aa_far @RnaudBertrand Why can't Saudi, with all it's trillions not just set up a defensive mechanism without having US bases on its soil? From Iran's perspective they view that as a threat while it works well for Israel! So you can't say Saudi wants both Iran and Israel to stop!

@J_aa_far @RnaudBertrand All defensive beacuse of people like you.

This (arabnews.com/node/2642938) is, by any measure, an extraordinary article: Prince Turki Al-Faisal is a son of King Faisal and ran Saudi intelligence (the GID) for over two decades. He is writing that the plan of "the US-Israeli war on Iran" was "to ignite war between us [Saudi Arabia] and Iran," so that Israel could "impose its will on the region and remained the only actor in our surroundings." This further confirms that, contrary to what many have asserted, the notion that the Saudis were quietly backing the war on Iran was a myth (alongside the recent fact the Saudis denied the U.S. access to its bases and airspace: x.com/RnaudBertrand/…). From the horse's mouth they're literally saying it was as much a war on them as it was on Iran! Pretty crazy when you think about it: this is Saudi Arabia saying that their real enemy in this war was the U.S. and Israel. Hard to overstate how significant a rupture this represents. Now of course they could be saying so because, seeing how the war turned out, they're trying to retroactively position themselves on the winning side (at least strategically, by saying they didn't take the bait), or trying to justify domestically why they absorbed hits from Iran without retaliating. And, of course, it's not like they're presenting Iran as some sort of ally here: Prince Turki explicitly calls them a "neighbor" that caused "pains." But still, the end result remains: the Saudi establishment is now committing, on the record and in plain language, to a framing in which, while Iran is a "painful neighbor", the U.S. and Israel represent the deeper strategic threat, having tried to engineer their destruction. If you had any lingering doubt that this war accelerated the collapse of U.S. influence in the region, this should settle it.

@RnaudBertrand How do they collect this data? Random Citizens?

Let's start with what's always the highlight of the report: the actual ranking of countries based on democracy perception by their own people. Which, this year, as a French man, is utterly depressing: France is now, according to the French people themselves, one of the least democratic countries in the world, alongside countries like Kazakhstan, Yemen or Zimbabwe. It's insane but sadly unsurprising given the fact that Macron made a complete mockery of the results of the previous elections, and altogether only has utter contempt for his people. Also fascinating, like every single year, is the fact that China is - according to the Chinese people themselves - one of the most democratic countries in the world. According to the ranking, the world's most democratic countries are: Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, Ghana, Sri Lanka, India and... China! Every year I get the same argument back so let me preempt it: no it's not because the Chinese people would be "afraid" to express their opinion. If that were the case you'd see the same dynamic in other presumed "authoritarian" countries. But Russia scores -21, Belarus -9, Kazakhstan -31. If "fear of the regime" explained China's +14, why aren't Russians and Belarusians equally "afraid"? Professor Jason Hickel - an economic anthropologist - also wrote a fascinating article on exactly this topic titled "Support for government in China: is the data accurate?" (open.substack.com/pub/jasonhicke…) in which he systematically dismantles the "fear bias" argument by examining studies that used anonymized and implicit methodologies. The verdict: across every methodology tested, Chinese people mean what they say. So, for better or worse, as far as people's perceptions are concerned, we now live in a world where China is one of the most democratic countries in the world and France one of the least. How does the US fare? Not great, far below China (although better than France): its ranking is "neutral" meaning there's roughly an equal amount of U.S. citizens who think they're a democracy as those who don't. For the self-proclaimed "leader of the free world," that's not exactly a ringing endorsement...

Every year, this has to be the one report I look forward to the most: the Democracy Perception Index, compiled by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation (in partnership with Nita Data). In fact, my yearly thread on the report is apparently such a tradition that, this year, its lead researcher personally sent me the report with this message: "every year, I look forward to your thread about it!". That's how you start wondering whether you tweet too much 😅 Why do I like this report so much? A few reasons: 1) The Alliance of Democracies Foundation, the organization behind the report, cannot even remotely be suspected of being some sort of anti-West outlet: it was started by an ex-NATO Secretary General (Anders Fogh Rasmussen) and its stated purpose is "to unite world democracies" 2) It's surprisingly honest and the methodology is actually democratic. Unlike other reports on democracy the scoring isn't done by the report's authors (like the report by Freedom House or The Economist's "Democracy Index"). It simply asks people what they think and, when it comes to democracy, that's kind of the point 🤷‍♂️ 3) I love the expression "perception is reality" because, like it or not, what people believe about their system is what determines its legitimacy. A democracy that nobody actually experiences as one can't credibly claim to be one. And conversely, a so-called "autocracy" that its people overwhelmingly believe is actually a democracy might... actually be a democracy. Anyhow, this year's edition did not disappoint. The data is absolutely fascinating and frankly, a little terrifying. So here you go: my thread on the 2026 Democracy Perception Index 🧵

@Madden9007 @IanCopeland5 You know the only way you can't shut Copeland here is to volunteer to get the Hantavirus and then ivermectin. You can first prove it inhibits virus entry, if that fails, you will not be symptomatic and not die. No clinical trials needed😁😁

@IanCopeland5 Of course there's no clinical trial you dipshit. Like they're gonna do clinical trial on ivermectin and lose all their profit on jabs you idiot.

This is false. There is no clinical trial data that shows Ivermectin works against Hantavirus. Further, there is no clinical trial evidence that Ivermectin blocks viral entry or impedes the activity of ANY virus. Including COVID-19. If there is, don't reply to me with a mechanistic study, speech or an anecdote. Just drop the link to the clinical trial and I'll be happy to concede...

@alon_mizrahi These levels of hatred towards Palestinians shocks the devil himself

The face of a 1948 Palestinian lawyer, who works for Israel's legal system, after police officers broke into his apartment claiming loud noises were coming from it. Two of his relatives who were with him - a nurse and a hospital doctor - were arrested as well
