I WAS in Lyme Regis recently
and there was a sign that read
Do Not Feed Me', accompanied by
a photo of a scrawny seagull. That's
all well and good, but there were
literally thousands of the fuckers
flying about, and they all looked the
same. How was I meant to know
which was the one in the photo?

MAKE yourself cry before you
start peeling onions, perhaps by
thinking about the death of an
elderly relative, or how you are a
failure in your family's eyes. Do
not let the onion win.

It’s a mystery. But Russian psyops have an effect through social media. You probably know about the traitor general Mike Flynn. @jimstewartson follows him closely. While everyone else dismisses him as a nutcase, Stewartson says he’s β€œQ”, the mastermind of the crazy US cult he calls a classic psyop.

Russian Businessman Found Dead After Being Named in Epstein Files Umar Dzhabrailov had relationships with Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean β€œDiddy” Combs.

After being found in the Epstein files, this Russian politician came down with a sudden case of the blues and Epstein’ed himself with a Luger pistol. These new American oligarchs need to pay attention as they may be Epstein’ed, too.

IF A MONKEY randomly
hitting keys on a typewriter
for an infinite amount of time
will eventually write the complete
works of Shakespeare, then it
stands to reason that Shakespeare
randomly twanging strings on a
guitar for an infinite amount of
time would have eventually written
the complete works
of The Monkees.
Is there no end
to that man's
talents?

WRITING in 4th century
Greece, Hippocrates suggested
that illness and disease were caused
or transmitted by noxious vapours,
and this was accepted as medical
fact until the late 19th century
when Louis Pasteur and others
provided alternative explanations
which finally discredited the idea.
However, I would caution anyone in
my house who is reading this not
to enter my water closet for the
next half hour just in case he was
right after all.

Spinning the Alt-Right Web
Think tanks, Ioundations and corporate donors form an extensive international infrastructure supporting free-market fundamentalism and nationalist politics.
These networks train political leaders, shape policy agendas and coordinate messaging across continents, embedding far-right ideas within mainstream political and economic institutions and in the public debate. Atlas Network is one of the biggest networks of right-wing think tanks, and while it does not neatly map onto all the threads of the global far-right movement, it has been supported by and nurtured many of the far right's key organisations and figures.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
