The US was a rogue terrorist state long before Trump came to power. The only difference is he, and those around him, aren't trying to mask their sadism, depravity and cruelty... In fact they revel in it as you would expect from a paedophile, sex offending psychopath like Trump. "Leader of the free world" remember. Free to murder, torture, rape and wipe out entire civilian populations.
🚨 BREAKING: Former CIA officer Josephine Guilbeau: "In Iran, 165 innocent girls were killed by US Tomahawk missiles launched from destroyers." "As a former officer, I can say this: 'We are the terrorists.'"

Read again & share. A former CIA officer, a US State Security official, admits the United States targeted & murdered 165 school girls in Iran & that they are terrorists. There is no room for doubt or prevarication. The US illegally attacked Iran. The US is guilty of war crimes 😡

25 years ago the UVF were jumping up and down about the need for the IRA to decommission their weapons before the peace process could proceed. The IRA did decommission, but surprise, surprise the UVF - who the British state colluded with in the murders of dozens of civilians - did not. Now this investigation reveals some of those guns look likely to fall into the hands of the pro-British far right. What will @PoliceScotland do to deal with this threat given the clear links in Scotland? One retired senior police detective - who previously had been seconded to the RUC - told me just two weeks ago that levels of sectarian prejudice were much higher among police officers in Glasgow than their counterparts in Belfast! So my bet is nothing will happen.
"I can arrange whatever you need done..." Fake rallies, armed paramilitaries and murder-for-hire in the UK. Watch our full undercover investigation, Contract Killers and the Far Right:

Worry not, the good news is the BBC still has a Russian language service that licence payers fund for Russian audiences. The bad news is that it's the same old English centric news outlook that is broadcast, only in Russian. BBC Scotland isn't needed when you have a supine, complicit Devo-Unionist Exec in John Swinney to keep the peasants in check. This is not a spoof or AI: bbc.com/russian
BBC Scotland is being axed from television 🚨 From spring 2027, the channel will no longer be available as a traditional TV service, with programmes instead moving to iPlayer Digital editor @laura_pollock_ explains what we know and the reaction so far

Scotland's once revered independent justice system has been hollowed out and left in utter tatters in recent decades. It was once, like education - a system that is now, also, a smoking dung pyre of embarrassment - one of the great pillars of Scotland. Once these were independent institutions that demonstrated the Scots can do things differently and, crucially, better than elsewhere. How that steady, relentless decline happened, and was allowed to happen, deserves more space than this tweet will allow. But there is no doubt in my mind it has been deliberate and orchestrated. Officials and politicians who absolutely do not have Scotland's best interests at heart have driven this neglect and sabotage of Scotland's independent institutions. There are many examples of it, from the fast track career process of English civil servants working in Scottish Government departments, to senior officials promoted and elevated way beyond their ability... Leslie Evans being one pertinent and very obvious example. It could be corrected and even reversed if there was strong, decisive and inspiring political leadership... Instead we have cash-bung @JohnSwinney, a man that couldn't start a fire if he was standing in a petrol warehouse with three crates of Cooks matches at his disposal.

I've clearly touched a nerve with [checks notes] "BBC Scotland sports pundit". @JimSpenceDundee If he thinks the "big time" is commentating on Morton Vs East Fife football matches, then he deserves to get that broken bookies pencil I've been offering to sell for £100 for free. He now spends his time cheering on Britain's "special" forces who have been implicated in the murders of dozens of Catholics in the occupied North of Ireland... You can take the man out of BBC Sports but you will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take the tongue of Jim Spence out of the arse of the British state.

A lawyer was murdered. Now an inquiry must expose MI5's role. Pat Finucane was murdered in Belfast decades ago. Could an inquiry finally force British intelligence to come clean? declassifieduk.org/a-lawyer-…

The peaceful protests didn’t suddenly turn violent overnight. Let’s get one thing straight: the violence began when YOUR police forces unleashed stun grenades on high school students, blowing off their hands and leaving them with warzone injuries. Shame on you!

The reasons for these riots aside for one moment, what mass riots clearly demonstrate, whether in France, Italy or England, is that regardless of how well resourced police and military are they cannot hold down the raw rage of the masses. They simply do not have the numbers. Are you listening Scotland?
The Europe-wide riots have now spread to Italy

The Brits are a weird breed. To paraphrase a certain notorious US General: "No one ever won a war by dying for his country. They won it by letting the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." But hey, never interupt your enemy when they are in the process of making an error.
I am personally 100% prepared to fight and die to secure the existence of Britain and a future for the British people. In my opinion, virtually every British person in this country feels the same way. The tepid public reaction to General Sir Roly Walker’s call to arms, and the apparent hesitancy around his warning, does not reflect any absence of resolve among the British people themselves. It reflects profound and justified doubt about what he and the current and previous governments actually stand for—whether they are committed to the defence of this nation and its people as they truly are, or to other priorities that undermine that commitment.

We are constantly told how evil Vladimir Putin is and that he cannot be trusted. But then I see this 2013 interview with Piers Morgan, in which Bill Clinton stated that Putin had honoured all the agreements they had made, saying, "He kept his word on all the deals we had made"

That particular moment when Victoria Nuland, in 2016, was bragging to the US Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken over Ukraine after the 2014 coup. She spelled it all out without shame: 🔴US operatives embedded in a dozen Ukrainian ministries. 🔴American-trained cops patrolling 18 cities. 🔴The US Treasury gutting 60 Ukrainian banks while sparing depositors to keep people quiet. 🔴Hundreds of millions of dollars funneled into molding Ukraine’s military. Let's cut all the crap,this wasn’t "assistance", it was a takeover dressed up as aid. "Unprovoked" 😂😂😂😂

The political and military elites in the UK and EU are betting the House that their populations will forget how the conflict in Ukraine began. None of those same elites are advocating a diplomatic and peaceful resolution because they are invested, financially and mentally, in a war they cannot win, but could potentially see hundreds of thousands of their own people joining the half million Ukrainian dead. If they are unwilling to send their own children to the Ukrainian front line today, which they could but don't, why should the rest of us send our kids off to be slaughtered?

This seems to have really triggered the annonymous bots and 77th Brigade keyboard warriors, so definitely worth a retweet. Seems the UK Regime cheerleaders would definitely fund a midget demi-fascist clown than the NHS... Know who your real enemy is.
Fund a coked up, unelected dwarf clown and his demi-fascist Regime or use that money to properly fund public services in the UK, including the already underfunded NHS. These are the choices the political and economic elites in the UK must decide...

What happened to Heidi Levine is brutal and another notch in Israel's sadistic assault on humanity. But if she had been a Palestinian photojournalist she would definitely be dead and not a single Western news outlet would blink an eye. The hierarchy of victims.
Israeli settlers attacked a Washington Post journalist. Stole her cameras. Stole her phone. IDF soldiers watched. Did nothing. If they're attacking American journalists on camera, what do you think they're doing to Palestinians off camera?
