Is Lee Mack having a breakdown? #1percent

🚨BREAKING CROSSPOST AFTER DDOS ATTACK Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman www.bylinesupplement.com/p/breaking-c...

Trump being a Russian asset is not new information. It’s just taken a while for people to see that he is one. @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2019/11/13/r...

As always, comments likes shares etc are super appreciated because links are never happily received.

The fence that came partly down last winter (can’t fall further because of a tree) has done the same again in these winds. The extra posts that I had added don’t seem to have held. Have had to nail in some of the featherboards back in too, as they were flapping loose.

It will always be worth sharing this forensic analysis of Farage’s actual words and behaviour against his claims of them in regard to Putin/Russia whenever he claims not to be pro-Putin. Excellent work from @sturdyalex.bsky.social in presenting facts against the unchallenged claims. 👏

The USA is now a Russian proxy. We are well outside Normal Times.

Where’s Luigi when you need him..?

How long before US folks get to the point of Ceaușescu-ing Trump, Musk, etc..?

Mr “No, no, let me speak” has gone *very* quiet.

🇺🇸 New QR: Trump's America switches sides 🇺🇦 @sturdyalex.bsky.social & @ommasalma.bsky.social w NATO specialist @lukemcgee.bsky.social, ask quite simply whether America is still an ally. PLUS Who is gunning for Rachel Reeves? 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/7ACn... 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...

How much would it take for Farridge to agree to a new interview with @mrjamesob.bsky.social ?

We are at war, and have been for over a decade. Social media has been used to radicalise people against western interests and to be favourable to Putin’s plans. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

Normalcy bias vs Hyperbole “The road to fascism is lined with people* telling you to stop overreacting”. *Liberals/centrists. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

It’s not appeasement. It’s not even alignment any more. It’s full agreement.

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill would bring Scotland in line with global best practice It was extensively consulted on, evidence was heard from across society, and it passed overwhelmingly But for Scottish Labour your human rights will never be as important as a good headline in the Daily mail

When a guy on a TV quiz show that you thought was gay mentions having a girlfriend

Farage fans also think highly of his heroes Trump and Putin. No surprise there.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

“Clearsprings, one of three Home Office contractors providing asylum accommodation, made more than £90m in profit in the year ending January 2024. It declined to comment.”

This doesn’t seem to be a “difficult decision”. Ordinary people losing out again, as the already wealthy gain further.

We never talk about *why* people turn to crime, and what we can do to prevent it. Poverty, inequality and lack of opportunities leads to crime. The breakdown of the social contract leads to crime. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

NEW: Last week’s newsletter had ‘IT’S A COUP’ in big red letters on front page of NYT. Well, guess what? It still is. We have to stop framing what’s happening as in any way normal. It’s a coup & a collapse in the international order & none of this is ‘normal’ broligarchy.substack.com/p/us-coup-ga...
