Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Jeffrey Epstein Was Vladimir Putin's Wealth Manager, FBI Source Claimed in Newly Released Epstein Files Jeffrey Epstein managed money for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, among other powerful world leaders, one confidential source claimed in FBI testimony

As I keep saying, the Epstein story is an offshore finance story.

And offshore finance is about elite impunity: insistence on their wealth and their persons being protected by the law, but never being subject to the law.

It's the "Every man a King" fantasy made real.

New Gorton and Denton by-election poll has the Greens in first place Zack Polanski's Greens are ahead of Reform UK in a new by-election poll for Gorton and Denton, with Labour trailing in third place

@zackpolanski.bsky.social’s Greens lead in shock Gorton poll www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2026...

ok, we need to slow down. I don't think we need to revoke ALL of Andrew's titles.

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING

INDEPENDENT Playgrounds would become 'crack dens' if Greens were in power, policing minister says

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

The irony of them having to use real money to buy politicians to make their fake money legitimate makes my brain hurt

Lol. That's what we call a "checkmate".

Isn't Trump the person who trafficked Giuffre to Epstein and Andrew?

Closer in time to Marco Polo discovering China than to right now

The last time a member of the British Royal Family was arrested was in 1649.

ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS Thursday, 19th February 2026 A STATEMENT FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.

King Charles has issued a statement following his brother Andrew’s arrest

@hashjenni Call me crazy, but | think measuring a 13 year-old girl's "tightness" with your fingers while auctioning them off should disqualify someone from being president.

We should never stop being revolted that this
IS the world and it will never be right or acceptable even if many people with platforms and power deem it acceptable (or even enviable behaviour) - we must rage, support, and change

Half the chatbots to create AI psychosis and the other half to treat AI psychosis. A perfect economy.

I don't even know exactly what The Chart Guys are paid to misunderstand anymore. Primates have an innate sense of fairness. Every service has 17 different hidden fees. They're rolling out dynamic pricing at the grocery store so the shelf can scan my face and charge me more. 1/x

for those keeping track we are asking tourists for hundreds of dollars in fees and five years of social media history so we can make sure they haven't been too mean to the tangerine

US soft power in the toilet

Errrr hiya Trev that was a bare face fucking lie there about the signs wasn't it? Any comment? Zach reacted a lot more calmly than I would have.
