"We are birthing a scary political dystopia in this, the eighth decade of the Federal Republic, and that birth is not yet complete. The constitutional protectors and the AI-assisted speech monitors have not yet scaled to the point that can they pose an equal and pervasive menace to everyone. Their repressions are rather scattershot and opportunistic, with hints of strategy but also a great deal of randomness. If you’re lucky and you have the resources, you might find a sympathetic court and land on your feet in the end, like our professor. The repressive apparatus, however, is gaining strength everyday, and who is to say how long there will still be upstanding judges anybody can appeal to in the judiciary."

"A freier, in Israeli eyes, is a shopper who waits in line to pay retail. It is a driver who searches for legal parking rather than pulling onto the sidewalk with the other cars. And if he does this in a rush to file a tax return, he is the consummate freier.

"In short, a freier is anyone who cedes ground, plays completely by the rules or allows someone to get the better of him. The ideal Israeli is clever and tough, and a freier is the opposite. A pushover--in the way that Israelis often perceive Americans to be."

Victim of Macron's regime Pavel Durov believes in Owens' accusations.

Candace Owens on X:

"🚨 URGENT
Two days ago I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French Government. After determining this person’s position and proximity to the French couple, I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens.
In short, this person claims that the Macrons have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Yes, you read that correctly. More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in National Gendamarie Intervention Group. I am told there is one Israeli that is on this assasination squad and the plans were formalized.
Again, this person provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus.
Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk’s assassin trained with the French legion 13th brigade with multi-state involvement.
Journalist Xavier Poussard’s life is also at risk. This is deadly serious. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out.
I ask that every person RETWEET and share this.
I do not know who in the American government can be trusted, since this source claims our leaders are aware. But I have more specific information which is definitively verifiable, should they care to reach out to me.
To the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie’s public execution to risk their own life— May God bless you. Truly.

Let all be revealed."

"Dragons were considered the largest serpents, growing by devouring others of their kind.

"In Ethiopia, they could reach thirty yards long, earning the name “Elephant-killers” for their strength and longevity.

"Other accounts describe Indian dragons nurtured for the eyes of Alexander the Great, including specimens of forty and eighty cubits in length, whose fearsome reputation prevented closer inspection.

"Chroniclers recount a dragon inhabiting a valley near Mount Pelion, whose hiss alone terrorised the locals.

"Its true size was only revealed after a violent storm felled the surrounding forest, inadvertently killing the beast and exposing its enormous bones.

"Alexander’s campaigns in India also describe dragons treated as sacred, terrifying his army with their sheer presence.

"Across India, Africa, and the Mediterranean, dragons were reported in a variety of sizes and forms, from temple guardians to colossal creatures in the wild, each account reinforcing their enduring reputation as the greatest of serpents."
