⚠Satire Alert⚠ "You will be distraught to hear that your favourite Lord since Voldemort, Peter Mandelson, has found himself in a spot of bother in the Epstein files. As one of the most beloved members of Blair’s government, Mandelson made everyone jump for joy when he returned to politics to become ambassador to the US. Mandelson was hired primarily because Starmer was ordered to take him by his donors. All of the smartest people in politics, such as John Sopel, declared this is exactly what the country needs. This is why Sopel gets the big jobs and you—an idiot—don’t."

"How did he generate so much paperwork, traffic and comment? New York financier, mountebank, all purposes conman and dedicated rake that he was, Jeffrey Epstein continues to nag living figures from beyond the grave and place them in a tight spot of bother. His correspondence with these individuals runs into the millions, a figure suggesting his only work in life was being a pimp for pleasure and valet to the rotten."

"Delegates spoke with urgency about the most egregious US interventions shaping hemispheric affairs. Delegates from Argentina described how Trump openly backed right-wing president Javier Milei, including the announcement of a $20 billion loan during the presidential campaign—a brazen attempt to tilt the vote by offering a financial lifeline in exchange for political alignment. They also condemned the lawfare-driven persecution and unjust imprisonment of Cristina Kirchner, emblematic of how courts are being weaponized to crush leaders who challenge US-aligned economic and political power."

"The claim of “30,000 killed” during two days of protests and rioting across Iran appears to be based largely on a single anonymous source, who admitted extrapolating that figure by assuming without evidence that “officially registered deaths related to the crackdown likely represent less than 10% of the real number of fatalities.” That quote was attributed by The Guardian to an alleged doctor whose real name the newspaper refused to publish, but whose identity it claimed to have verified."

"Once upon a time, the United States at least went through the pretense of seeking to adhere to a rules-based order. In the 2022 National Security Strategy document published by the administration of President Joe Biden, the United States gave lip service to the importance of defending “the basic laws and principles governing relations among nations, including the United Nations Charter and the protection it affords all states from being invaded by their neighbors or having their borders redrawn by force.” But the reality was that the United States was more concerned about the rules-based international order—a system “institutions, norms, and standards to govern international trade and investment, economic policy, and technology” created at the end of the Second World War that “advanced America’s economic and geopolitical aims and benefited people around the world by shaping how governments and economies interacted—and did so in ways that aligned with US interests and values.” The primary goal of the United States at that time was simple: preserving this “free, open, prosperous, and secure international order.” But it turned out that the rules based international order was a fraud—something those who went along with it were fully cognizant of."

"In a historic joint action, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), the Jewish Council of Australia, and the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC), have lodged a formal legal complaint to have Israeli President Isaac Herzog arrested or barred from entering Australia. The groups, represented by renowned barrister Robert Richter KC, allege that Herzog has incited genocide and aided and abetted war crimes, rendering him unfit to enter the country under Australian law."

"When the question arose in 2024 as to whether Biden or Trump should be recommended for election, we believed that Trump was the better choice over Harris, as the former did not belong to the deep state. That was our assessment. We believed this was the only way to prevent World War III. Many of my colleagues felt the same way. President Putin's statement in September 2024 that he would prefer Harris because she was more predictable could become a prophecy in the future, even though Sergei Lavrov dismissed Putin's statement as a joke—but every joke has a grain of truth."

Planned disaster...🙄 "Sumatra’s floods were not unpredictable. They were foretold in satellite images, NGO reports, parliamentary studies and court filings for years. Between 1990 and 2020, the island lost nearly half of its primary forest cover. In 2024 alone, Indonesia lost more than 240,000 hectares of primary forest, much of it in Sumatra. Forests that once functioned as a sponge—absorbing rain, stabilising soil, regulating rivers—had been thinned, fragmented or cleared entirely. When the rains came, there was nowhere for the water to go."
