Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Son Emerges as Leading Choice to Be His Successor

It appears we may have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei

We learned today that Israel BOMBED the building it THOUGHT was the site of Iranian leaders choosing a new Ayatollah today.

So the NYT should be very clear on Trump and Netanyahu wanting ABSOLUTE CHAOS in Iran, not someone they can negotiate with.

Do better, NYT. Please, finally, do better.

So now we go to war because of this demented man's "feelings"?

Six Americans are already dead, and 800+ overall, because of his fucking *feelings*?

BREAKING: Seventh Immigrant Dies in ICE Custody This Year

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates Jeffrey Epstein Was Key to 2016 Pro-Trump Election Meddling So much attention has been paid to Epstein's serial sex crimes that we've spent too little time asking whether Trump owes his political career to a dead pedophilic rapist he can’t stop lying about.

(🚨) This is just the beginning. But it is one hell of a beginning. You will never see the Epstein Scandal the same way again.

And Part II is on the way.

Ludovic Slimak on Neanderthals: ‘It was suicide. Humans disappear when they no longer want to live because their values ​​have collapsed’ The French paleoanthropologist discusses his book ‘The Last Neanderthal,’ and provides clues about his latest discovery: ‘It’s possible that other, completely unknown human populations existed’

Trump promises billions in aid to Gaza as Israeli airstrikes reportedly kill 12 Palestinians Trump's Board of Peace does not mention Gaza in its charter, instead hinting at a way to swerve accountability to the United Nations.

The astonishing amount of fraud, deception, and graft that will be associated with the so-called Board of Peace is going to BLOW YOUR HAIR BACK.

I doubt humanity has ever encountered as dark and diseased an operation as this one will be, if it even survives the decade.

If Epstein was murdered—as 65% believe, per polls—two foreign nationals are leading suspects.

Both appear repeatedly in the Epstein Files, so they *should* appear on the 300-person DOJ list just published that included Elvis, Bono, and Cher.

They don't.

PROOF will have more soon.

I am not suicidal; I don't drink or do drugs; my blood pressure and cholesterol are normal; I don't engage in high-risk activities; my vehicles are well kept and newly serviced.

If anything happens to me, please assume foul play and only let state agents—not federal—access my data and drafts.

UPDATE: What I'm working on with respect to Epstein is so encompassing and sourced that it's far too long to release all at once. I'll publish the first part at PROOF Monday night and you'll see exactly what I mean. This is a story no other outlet has covered. sethabramson.substack.com

Stacy Liberatore, US Science and Technology Editor at the Daily Mail, has become one of the world’s leading purveyors of #pseudoarchaeology.

Trump: "Everything has come down. Do you notice that don't notice affordability anymore? That's like an old fashioned word."

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The last word on Erich von Däniken should be from the great science communicator, Carl Sagan who wrote,

"That writing as careless as Däniken's, whose principal thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times."

Please don’t let BlueSky become polluted with bullshit #pseudoarchaeology the way Twitter has.
