"If Nato still exists in a decade, it will do so only in the sense that Charlemagne was a Roman emperor. The noscripts may remain the same, perhaps the great ritual gatherings will continue, but the hard facts of power will have changed utterly, and the frontiers to defend will have shrunk.

"With Nato moribund, it is difficult to think of a Western state, apart from Canada, worse prepared or politically situated for Trump 2.0 than Britain. In security terms, we are almost uniquely over-exposed, having long settled on a posture of America’s yappiest and least threatening lapdog."

"The bigger question now arises: if Mann cannot even be trusted to tell the truth when he’s under oath and in court on pain of perjury, why on earth should any of us take him seriously on the subject of climate change? And why should a man with a track record of cheating and lying ever have been allowed to play such a pivotal role in everything from the future of the global economy to the kind of scaremongering nonsense our children are forced to learn in science and geography classes?"

A Message from Big Bear

Unauthorized has been deplatformed again from a payment processor. Out of the blue and we had been very careful and cautious. It’s a bummer but I’ve been doing this a long time. You people are the real treasure not some algorithm or some green paper with runes on them. We will find a way and […]

CA's Lt. Governor deleted her pronouns

End Wokeness

🇮🇱 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday slammed the so-called “Deep State” in a post on his official “prime minister” X account, harnessing some of the same rhetoric used by US President Donald Trump to dismiss his critics.

Less than a half hour after the tweet was posted, Netanyahu deleted it from his official account and posted the same message from his personal account.

While customarily meant to remain outside of political arguments, President Isaac Herzog’s office offered a rebuttal to Netanyahu’s post, writing on X, “Israel’s strong and independent judicial system is an asset to our democracy, and the president of Israel is very proud of it.”

Also Wednesday, Hebrew media reported that Netanyahu and other ministers berated Baharav-Miara and the legal establishment during Tuesday night’s cabinet meeting, when ministers met to reappoint far-right politician Itamar Ben Gvir as national security minister.

Ministers approved Ben Gvir’s return to the role despite opposition from Baharav-Miara, who had advised Netanyahu that doing so would not be possible from a legal perspective.

“Trump didn’t believe when he heard about the depth of the deep state in Israel, which is as deep as the ocean,” Netanyahu was cited as saying by the Kan public broadcaster.

"The Infowars host explained that he followed up on this by finding out where the Papa John’s outlet is where the orders are originating from, and he discovered much to his shock that it is the exact site where his Infowars colleague Jamie White was murdered last week.

"Shroyer also notes that some pizza orders from the Papa Johns have been made in Jamie White’s name."

"The ‘radical’ theory I proposed yesterday —that the JFK disclosures aren’t really JFK assassination disclosures so much as disclosures of intelligence agency corruption — picked up steam yesterday, rounding the track with an impressive quarter-mile lead in early racing. The first striking example appeared in the New York Times, headlined “Were the Kennedy Files a Bust? Not So Fast, Historians Say.”"

"What I can say with confidence is that Wikileaks' origins are dubious. Britain’s secret services plainly used the newly-formed Wikileaks as a platform for instigating Kenya’s 2007 election crisis. Whatever path Assange chose to follow in later years, he and Wikileaks owe their first big success to covert dealings with the British government."

"If you refuse to "volunteer," a horde of military officers descends on you, beating you mercilessly through the night. Someone who witnessed this told me about the screams and cries that echo into the darkness before fading away. The next morning, a military ambulance arrives, and that person is never seen again. Yet their name remains on the list. During the morning roll call, it’s the first one read—and no one answers. Then the entire unit shouts, "Died as a hero!" But we all knew the truth, we saw it with your own eyes: these men had never reached the front lines but instead were murdered by their own Ukrainian officers!?"
