Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting CNN: “We’re told that Pentagon briefers did make a stark acknowledgment, and that was that there was no indication that Iran was preparing to preemptively strike U.S. bases.” Below is a CNN split-screen segment showing a female anchor on the left and a male correspondent on the right. A red “BREAKING NEWS” banner reads: “SOURCES: BRIEFERS TO CONGRESS UNDERCUT WHITE HOUSE CLAIM OF IMMINENT IRANIAN THREAT.”

Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.

UK media are covering up British spy flights for Israel Britain’s obedient defence correspondents are refusing to report a story of clear public interest in the middle of a genocide.

Due to drone attacks by Iran, UK media are now covering RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, from where the RAF conducted over 600 spy flights for Israel during its genocide.

Analysis last year by Prof Des Freedman found no MSM investigations into Akrotiri.

“Good afternoon. My name is [redacted] and my wife and I have been at OMDC since April 15 2025,” reads a handwritten note, wrapped around a lotion bottle that was thrown by a man held captive inside the Otay Mesa Detention Center (OMDC) on Sunday. “It’s cold here all the time and the food is poor,” the missive continues. “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.”

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.”
