In Hitler's last will and testament, dictating hours before he committed suicide, 80 years ago in April 1945, he insisted that no one had wanted war in 1939. It had been forced on him by 'international Jewry and its helpers.'

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

I understand looking for historical parallels when we’re at the stage of warning signs, but when the evil arrives the priority is to deal with what’s actually in front of you.

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback. Thanks and Happy Pesach!

Does Badenoch think this makes her look good? For FOURTEEN YEARS they left everything untended, unresolved, underfunded, in disrepair. Yet on EVERY TOPIC her line is "we'd have done it brilliantly, in fact we were JUST ABOUT to do it when STOOPID VOTERS kicked us out, enjoy Labour STOOPID VOTERS".

The truth has become basic. Trump is a fool who is fucking everything up. There's no more to it than that. But there's only so many times you can write that column. So people are forced to construct 'well actually he has a point' arguments and 'hidden strategy' think pieces.

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

The Conservatives’ likely next leader Robert Jenrick has gone full on MAGA in a way that should disturb all UK citizens. He’s naming and highlighting independent UK judges he considers “Far Left”. His dog whistle reaches some of the most violent Far Right people in the country.

Striking that both Trump’s enemies and diehards are all convinced this is a masterplan. Either that he’s deliberately shorted the market or it’s all a strategy to make other countries negotiate. This is his great ability: he convinces everyone he’s one step ahead. Most of the time he is simply not.

Much of media is reporting that Trump has paused tariff increases on every country - except China. But Trump increased tariffs on every country - by 10% - and on China by > 100%. (Though Canada/Mexico hikes came earlier). The real exception is Russia: No tariff rise (Belarus, Cuba, North Korea)

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.
