Carnival of Distraction 🦇🦎🇵🇸

Heartbreakingly beautiful 💔

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

I'm sure if an Israeli news company were filming a report on a British street and a gang of muslim men surrounded and tried to intimidate them, we'd be having a special parliamentary session to discuss it and wall-to-wall coverage of this pogrom

This is disgusting. I'm heartbroken to see what has become of my favourite place in Brum to unwind. Glenbrook Property are vandals. Pure and simple. They have destroyed an historic cinema for what? Absolutely unforgivable.

I'm an American trauma surgeon. One year ago today I was volunteering at Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza when Israel fired a missile into the room of my 16-year-old patient, Ibrahim Barhoum. The missile killed him instantly. If it had hit the room 90 seconds later it would have killed me, too. Today the US and Israel are still blocking medical supplies from entering Gaza, and are repeating the assault on hospitals and healthcare workers across Lebanon. This is nothing but barbarism. It must be stopped.

Living in our era is mentally taxing. We live in world where an arson attack on empty ambulances gains more political fury than Israel’s unrelenting slaughter of Arab doctors, nurses, and patients. Imperialism’s hierarchy of life has never been more blatant.

I really, really hesitate to call anything a false flag operation. It's a dangerous thing to do. But it seems that the text claiming responsibility actually did describe Palestine as the Land of Israel. No Muslim would do that, in Arabic or in English. I've been covering these types of movements for two decades. This never happens. Whoever wrote this statement was not a Muslim.

I used to think the social media videos I saw about the food in other countries were BS, until I went to Italy for a week. One full week of eating pasta, pizza, steak and gelato…I came home down 7lbs. We are being poisoned. It really is that simple.

So if the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff’s phone was stolen, with a goldmine of information on it, I am presuming that the police would have actually gone quite far to get it back - and to work out whether this was an ordinary crime or whether this was espionage.

In the last 12 mths Sikh women have been raped by racist thugs. Muslim girls have been terrorized by gangs. Numerous mosques have been torched I don’t recall the same level of coverage & outrage by media or politicians as for the Golders Green ambulance attack Why is that?

Disgusting and shameful! Especially in Liverpool. And Boyan is one of the nicest, smartest people I know. Please help find these racists- and all the other racists and wrong 'uns please! All the best wishes to Boyan x

Lush taking the lead

NEW: 🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The USS Gerald Ford is expected to be out of service for at least 14 months but likely 2 years. That was some “laundry room fire”…

@GaelicRoadSign @SatyagrahAlba Imagine the outrage had 15 paramedics been murdered & buried alongside their ambulances

@GaelicRoadSign @blixberrie Fuck me! They didn't turn out like this for Grenfell

Have you ever seen such theatre for burning vehicles?

Useful info

🚨🇬🇧 Meanwhile in London In the wake of Arson attacks against dedicated Jewish ambulances, Londoners are now realising that the Jewish community also have their own private police force - and are asking questions as to how this is even allowed⁉️

@rtwlz For a sequel can I suggest one that plays the Countdown timer music directly into the meeting in the last 30 seconds before the scheduled end of the meeting? youtu.be/-osJHnBXsMQ

The IDF attacked an ambulance that was travelling to rescue Hind Rajib. The murdered Hind, her family and the paramedics, even though they had agreed a safe passage, then they lied about it. Still, that was Gaza, not Golders Green.
