Eddie Howe with an update on the players missing today! 🤕 Sven Botman missed todays game against Gateshead after a knock to his face. Will Osula missed out due to a tight groin. No exact word on Joelinton, but all three players will be back and involved at the training camp in La Manga and should therefore be involved against Valencia. TIno Livramento is still a little way further back in his recovery from that injury that he picked up whilst away with England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #NUFC #NUFCNews #Newcastle #EPL

🐰: I feel that if we respect each other as humans, at the very least, issues like workplace harassment and other sensitive matters wouldn’t exist. I’m so grateful for the attention you’ve given to this matter, and I truly hope that none of the seniors, peers, juniors, or trainees here have to worry about things like this. I’ve seen that many people are concerned for us, and I’m very thankful. I’ve also seen a lot of comments asking why I had to experience something like this in Korea. But what I want to say here is that there’s no need to feel sorry. In Korea, I’ve met members and staff whom I love dearly and consider family, and it’s a country where I get to do the work I love, so I don’t quite understand what you’re apologizing for. On the contrary, the people who should be apologizing should come forward confidently if they’ve done nothing wrong, without avoiding accountability, but instead, they keep dodging situations like this, which is really frustrating. I don’t know how else to express my gratitude, but even the Australian Embassy reached out to my parents because of the concerns about us. I’m so thankful for their offer to help and their worry. Lastly, if I have to come out here again, I will work even harder on my Korean and come out better prepared. Thank you. I truly appreciate it, and you’ve all worked so hard. #하니야_토끼들이_함께해 #Courageous_Hanni_With_Tokki

Who's this VP Destroy guy anyways? 😂 don't worry bro, I got you. I know you deleted it but I found it in the trash can. Problem is this should have never been made in the first place. You know what gets me? These people are the BIGGEST fake phony people. The Doc situation REALLY showed us who people REALLY are. They are NOT your friend. All's they care about is what people think about THEM and protecting their little circle of special friends. Here's the difference between me and you. I have NEVER, and will NEVER CARE what other people SAY about me, THINK about me, or whether or not they support me. You're opinion DOES NOT MATTER. I will NEVER drop my friends just to stay on peoples good side to make money. SCREW THAT. I have HONOR folks. And nothing anyone ever says, or accuses me of, or anything will ever get me to stop doing what I love. That's the kind of man I am, and that's the kind of man Dr Disrespect is. He has REAL friends. These people? FAKE... timthetatman👑 and Nickmercs are the fakest people I've ever seen, and it wasn't until the controversy came out that drew them out of the wood works. Shameful.

Dear friends and followers, I want to apologize for being absent from here recently, especially with the renewed U.S. aggression against Iran and the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on Lebanon. I am currently undergoing treatment related to my latest war injury. My main right leg nerve was damaged, and over the past few days I underwent surgery at Ragheb Harb Hospital in my hometown in South Lebanon to remove deeply embedded shrapnel from my thigh. I am now facing a difficult recovery while dealing with neuropathic pain medications and an intensive treatment plan. Most likely, I will not be able to return to field reporting or resume regular updates for at least another week. I hope the recovery will not take much longer if nerve reconstruction ultimately becomes necessary. There is another piece of news: I am using this period to launch a new media project from South Lebanon, different in both format and scale from my previous work during last 2 years, both personal work and with FPTV. It will place a deeper focus on the issues facing South Lebanon from multiple perspectives, in several languages, and in collaboration with outstanding friends and colleagues from Lebanon and around the world. Your constant support, messages, and concern have given me even more reason to continue my work as a journalist documenting the impact of war and reporting on events despite everything my people, and I personally, have endured, including the heavy loss of many loved ones. I will do my best to turn this period away from publishing into an opportunity to build a project that is even more effective at exposing realities on the ground and bringing truth and knowledge to everyone following what is happening on us in this part of the world. See you again soon, Inshallah. As usual, Glory to our people, to their resistance and their miraculous steadfastness. And this is an updated summary about the situation here:

We’re working very hard, we need to make sure the players are right for the game.” ⚠️⚽ 🔹 Liam Rosenior on managing in the Champions League: “Your dream, as a player or manager, is to be at the top of the game — the Champions League is a signal of that 🏆.

I think it’s so disrespectful.” ❌🗣️ 🔹 Liam Rosenior on Disasi in training and Sterling latest: “My decision on Axel — I had a really good meeting with him a couple of days ago 🤝. I said to the players when I came in that it’s a clean slate for everybody, so it was only right for me to chat with him.

I am going to keep pushing him to keep improving.” 📈💪 🔹 Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernandez being linked with a move away: “It means nothing to me 🤷‍♂️.

GM. #NoStrollers parenting has been the focus of this page and will remain so but going forward I will be adding several other parenting foci that have had profoundly positive and important impacts on my children and family. 1. *Socratic dialogue*. Thanks to Michael Strong Michael Strong for showing the way here and helping our family wield this proven, powerful, free educational (and relationship building) too. Shout out to Socrates, too. I will be sharing clips and links to the YouTube page that Michael and my now 12 year old daughter have been building since Alana was 3.5 demonstrating the what, why, how, and IMPACT of Socratic dialogue. Here is the Michael-Alana YT, and a recent representative clip is attached. 2. *Early Childhood Literacy*. If you are unaware, literacy levels in the USA are deplorable. The 'reading gap' is an active tragedy mentally crippling more than half of the young people in America. As a parent to be I was determined my child would be a a strong and early reader. Drawing upon my time as a volunteer reading tutor to 4th and 5th graders (!!) In San Diego, I composed alternate lyrics to the ABC song about how to read (the mechanics of reading), dubbed 'The Secind Verse to the ABCs.' My wife and I sang this verse to our children as often or more than any other kids song. We sincerely believe the 'Second Verse' strongly contributed to our children reading and comprehending chapter books by age 4. Reading well at a young age opened the world for them, as it did for me as a child. Almost nothing matters more than fostering a love of learning and strong reading skills at a young age. I hope you will sing and widely share the Second Verse. A few years ago I published a children's book of the same title featuring child-led Socratic dialogue to teach reading, and I will be sharing that as well (foreword by Mark Victor Hansen -- ty again Sir -- and afterword by Michael Strong). A soft cover version is available on Amazon and I have a couple hundred original hardcovers available too (DM me if interested). In the meantime, teach and sing the Second Verse to children! 3. *Healthy Kids Food". We raised children whose default is enjoy healthy foods including liver and sardines. I'll be sharing some of what worked for us. And yes I am anti-goldfish. Finally, don't forget that strollers (and mental strollers aka tablets) are suboptimal and deprive children of an enormous amount of invaluable time in the stream of life. Abandon them! Thank you for your interest and I hope you will share this post. Aloha. #homeschool #ParentingTips #parenting #socratic #socraticdialogue #newborn #toddlers #readingcommunity #literacy #kindergarten

I am very sad to hear of Natalie Fleet’s resignation. It takes a great deal of courage and dedication to serve in public office, especially in a role like that, and she deserves respect for doing it. I’ve always had a lot of time for Natalie, and for her lads as well. She actually gave me a bit of comfort a while back, if I’m honest. She called me “mush” publicly on here, or on TikTok. I can’t remember exactly which platform it was now, as it was a while ago. At the time, I viewed it as a bit of a political point scoring moment for myself and thought it gave me an opportunity to hit one back by suggesting that an elected Member of Parliament was being unprofessional. Looking back though, I think I was the one who got that wrong. The more I’ve thought about it since, the more it has meant something to me. There aren’t many people in politics who use the kind of vocabulary I grew up with. It made me smile and reminded me of the estate I grew up on in Newark. I’d never spoken to any of her lads before, and then one day I got a video through on Snapchat from some random lad. I was genuinely about to block him, to be honest! Anyway, I decided to open the chat, and it turned out to be a video message from Natalie, a bit like the Cameo-style videos that I sometimes do for people. It really made me smile and laugh. That was the first and only time I’ve spoken to one of her lads, and I haven’t spoken to any of them since. It was on the day of the Gorton and Denton by-election back in February. I hope you don’t mind me sharing this Natalie, but I still find it funny now. It’s a reminder that there are still some very normal people involved in politics. (Nigel Farage certainly isn’t one of them! 😂) Feel free to watch the video below. I wish Natalie nothing but the very best for the future. Maybe one day I’ll pay a visit to Shirebrook to pick up some new running gear from Sports Direct. If I do, I’ll definitely pop into the constituency office and thank her again in person. One final thing I’d add is that I think we should normalise elected Members of Parliament being more approachable and communicating in a more natural, authentic way. Politics doesn’t always have to be suited and booted. Sometimes it’s okay to speak to people like normal human beings. In my view, that helps break down barriers, makes politics feel more accessible, and reminds people that those in public office are people too. Natalie Fleet MP

‼️🇷🇺 “I am a saboteur by specialty. Only six of us remain: there were seventy — six remain.” “They gather those who know how to do nothing — they spend millions on their training. They come here and are immediately destroyed,” says Russian soldier Ruslan, nicknamed “Gray.” “Gray” served in the Russian Armed Forces' 88th Reconnaissance-Sabotage Brigade “Española” (which officially announced its disbandment on October 2, 2025, presumably due to heavy losses) and participated in combat operations in the city of Chasov Yar. The Russian soldier spoke about the short lifespan of men who were enlisted in the Russian Federation Armed Forces after only two weeks of training. According to him, such recruits are mostly destroyed during their very first combat mission. ▪️ Ruslan also spoke about the heavy losses of his unit: “I am a saboteur by specialty. Only six of us remain: there were seventy — six remain.” ▪️ According to the fighter, many dead Russian soldiers' bodies remain on the battlefield, and their evacuation is not even carried out. Many bodies remain in the rubble: “You walk over corpses — there is no way. You just can’t tell who you’re stepping on… Our 3rd brigade got buried in the rubble — those who were in the basement — their bodies cannot be removed, and those who lived on the first floor — all were destroyed… The 'path of life' is surrounded by corpses, just fields full of bodies. Why aren’t they removed? They could have been removed, but now if you try to evacuate destroyed bodies, they all fall apart. If you pull on a leg — the leg will come off.” ▪️ The soldier explained that the command forbids collecting documents of the dead so that compensation is not paid to their families: 🔹 “We used to go and collect documents. Not bodies, documents. Then we would visit the battalion commander and hand over the documentation. Later, this was forbidden because the Ministry of Defense does not like it… Personally, when the time came, I collected 70-80 military IDs in one day, imagine, in one day. Just imagine — how much money that is (referring to compensation), and about fifteen people like us went there… Fifteen of us walk in the field and collect: we go and there are 700-800 military IDs, imagine how much money that is — 700-800 military IDs.” See the latest updates with us: Visioner

Sucharit Bhakdi describes how not only the mRNA Covid injections—but any and all mRNA injections—"set the Book of Life on fire" via the creation of DNA–RNA hybrids. These hybrids, Bhakdi says, damage the genome, causing tumors, autoimmune disease, miscarriages, and death. This clip of Bhakdi, a retired Professor Emeritus of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and former Chair of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, is taken from a discussion with Charles Kovess (Charles Kovess) et al. posted to Rumble on December 16, 2025. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "They made the mod RNA on the plasmids. After that, these were, of course came off and they tried to destroy most of the DNA, but they didn't because it's not easy to destroy so much DNA plasmid. And so what Kevin McKernan found three years ago was that the vials were full of plasmid DNA, the whole plasmid and parts of it. Okay. "But anyway, we won't go into what they found then, but just that they found a lot of DNA and they published this. And what did the authorities say is that, oh, well, it doesn't matter, they won't do any harm. Right? Just don't, don't think about it. Yeah. They've done so much good. They've saved so many millions of lives. So why not put some DNA into it? "Now that DNA, of course, was also impackaged in these lipid nanoparticles. And it was clear that this DNA would enter cells. And that is actually what our colleagues showed last year. That was their first publication, the InModia publication that came out last year, that showed that the DNA that was in the vaccine vials did enter cells, human cells in culture, and remain stable in cells for days. Okay. As also was the mod RNA now. "But they said. Poo poo, never mind. Don't worry, be happy. Okay, nothing will happen. Now, guys, things have changed radically and dramatically because of the latest discovery that Kevin McKernan made just three weeks ago. Just three weeks ago. "When a gene is transcribed in the chromosome. So, going back to the first part again, okay? This comes off. Then, there are always little accidents that happen during the production. Byproducts that are not supposed to be there. And the byproducts that are generated during every transcription is that some strand, some mRNA don't detach from the DNA where they're formed. And what happens is that hybrids of DNA and RNA come off together. "So it's the MRNA and the corresponding DNA, they come off as hybrids. And these hybrids are dangerous. Okay. They're sort of like, sparks of a sparkler, okay. And many of them come off. And these sparks have to be extinguished immediately. So there's an enzyme in the cell called RNase H. Now normal physicians don't know about this. I didn't. I had to read up on this because Jessica Rose said read up on RNase H, and that's what I did, okay? And the RNase H takes care of these sparks and extinguishes them immediately. "Because if they don't, then they cause, by different mechanisms, damage, to the chromosome. They, they, they can set the chromosomes on fire. Little fires light up, and the chromosomes get damaged where the fires come. Okay? Now what this will cause is haphazard. It can do anything. It can cause everything and nothing, okay? Depending on where the fires take place. But, for sure, most of the fires will cause dangerous damage. And as a result, you can get any illness that you see in the textbooks of medicine. "Anything and everything, including, of course, sorry, tumors, okay? Neoplastic disease, autoimmune disease, developmental impairment, of course, dead births, or death. It's clear you don't want to have your Book of Life be put on fire. You know, I, I talked about the, the genes and the chromosomes as the books of life, and I still do. And they can be set on fire. And that's what happens if these hybrids are not extinguished. "I've been giving interviews every week now, all right? I talked to Gary Null last week, and told him this, and I'm telling you this, and this is going around the world, okay? Is this is akin to attempted murder. And I tell you, I call on all the physicians in the world. Don't do it. It's not a good idea, okay? Because if you do so, you will be charged for attempted murder. "And the wonderful thing is that this is not only the COVID vaccine, it is all mod RNA vaccines. You know that you have new mod RNA vaccines coming on the market without anyone knowing that they're there. There's the flu vaccine mod RNA vaccine that's out already, and so on and so forth. There are, I think, veterinary vaccines that are being used on animals, mRNA based. But, they will always be heavily contaminated with deadly dangerous hybrids. "And it is the duty of all authorities, controlling authorities, to not turn around, and say, never mind, if they don't look now, they are going to be facing court. They will be facing court because they are not fulfilling their duties."

Sucharit Bhakdi describes how not only the mRNA Covid injections—but any and all mRNA injections—"set the Book of Life on fire" via the creation of DNA–RNA hybrids. These hybrids, Bhakdi says, damage the genome, causing tumors, autoimmune disease, miscarriages, and death. This clip of Bhakdi, a retired Professor Emeritus of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and former Chair of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, is taken from a discussion with Charles Kovess (Charles Kovess) et al. posted to Rumble on December 16, 2025. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "They made the mod RNA on the plasmids. After that, these were, of course came off and they tried to destroy most of the DNA, but they didn't because it's not easy to destroy so much DNA plasmid. And so what Kevin McKernan found three years ago was that the vials were full of plasmid DNA, the whole plasmid and parts of it. Okay. "But anyway, we won't go into what they found then, but just that they found a lot of DNA and they published this. And what did the authorities say is that, oh, well, it doesn't matter, they won't do any harm. Right? Just don't, don't think about it. Yeah. They've done so much good. They've saved so many millions of lives. So why not put some DNA into it? "Now that DNA, of course, was also impackaged in these lipid nanoparticles. And it was clear that this DNA would enter cells. And that is actually what our colleagues showed last year. That was their first publication, the InModia publication that came out last year, that showed that the DNA that was in the vaccine vials did enter cells, human cells in culture, and remain stable in cells for days. Okay. As also was the mod RNA now. "But they said. Poo poo, never mind. Don't worry, be happy. Okay, nothing will happen. Now, guys, things have changed radically and dramatically because of the latest discovery that Kevin McKernan made just three weeks ago. Just three weeks ago. "When a gene is transcribed in the chromosome. So, going back to the first part again, okay? This comes off. Then, there are always little accidents that happen during the production. Byproducts that are not supposed to be there. And the byproducts that are generated during every transcription is that some strand, some mRNA don't detach from the DNA where they're formed.

🚩Luxon’s elite richlist progressive B416 astroturf is nothing more than a huge big brother facisim program. Malindi McLean (who ironically runs a business on social media) admits to Bridges on Monday that they are going to use Biometric Digital ID - and then says “this is not a parenting issue it’s a Govt issue” For those who maintained this was never going to be about Digital ID, over the next few days I have some news for ya. We always knew that this was going to come down to Digital ID. No where in the world have these restrictions worked (only China & North Korea as they ban VPN’s) France for example has had to redesign their S.M restriction laws twice and now have announced they will roll out Biometric Digital ID - across the EU to make restrictions work. Users will be constantly scanned by the biometric app, that will then pair to a token that will be sent to the ‘verification provider’ and a token that is linked to your identity will allow you to browse that page . Mclean who sounds like she’s doing an impression of Lynn of Tawa admits the Govt will have to have access to this data, hey but don’t worry “no one is taking your data!” She says. This means evey website you browse at, every comment you write, every post you like will be recorded. People are stupid to think otherwise. I’m serious the amount of background and financial interest members of B416 is staggering. Anna Curzons for example ws hand picked by Ardern to lead a Digital framework body - all related to digital ID and tracking. All the banks also have a huge interest in this bill - I wonder why. Super woke KiwiBank CEO Steve Jerkovic is super excited by B416, he even said so on LinkedIn under Curzons latest post. It will make it so much easier to weed out those to debank for wrong politcal think eh Steve? Oh the police are manually tracking legal social media comments they don’t like - with this digital ID it’s going to free them up hugely. There’s a ton more to come on this, it’s mind blowing. They also have done a deal with Samsung for ‘safesurf’ phones - the group are banking (that’s a good word) on the govt banning access for any child to devices unless ya buy their phone. If they made parents buy every kid a replacement phone you are taking the vicinity of half a billion dollars. Holy Jean Brooker another nitwit from the B416 gang is currently touring schools hocking these phones set to retail approx $229. Who’s heavily invested in safesurfer? Oh only one Mr Stephen Tindall- the OG trans maniac himself. Good God there is even a sex therapist who is part of the b416 gang who advocates getting naked with your child and encouraging them to ask about porn. You think I’m joking. I’m not . Every trustee, and nearly every member of this sloppily disguised astroturf has a huge financial interest in digital ID, age verification software, SaaS and digital regulation. Also why did the Govt take down their ‘digital framework’ website on Feb 25th this year ? You know the one that explained how the govt was considering digital ID and CBDC ? I think this could be final nail in that dropkick Luxon’s political coffin. Smoke him out, make him get support for it from Labour and the greeens TPM and watch National bleed to death.

The Idea of NHI on Earth. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔥"The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified." ~Dr. Phil 🔥 "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious?" ~BZ to Dr. Phil (I'm so glad Bryce went there.) "There will be people...who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening." ~Mellon ~ Dr. Phil: "We know in the last 80 years there have been no overt hostile acts that we know about. That doesn't mean there could be things happening that are attributable to these forces that we don't know about. But, we certainly don't have any attacks that we can attribute to these UAPs or whatever." (Well, there's Colares in 1977. If that was non-human in nature, I'd say that qualifies as overt. And the Thomas Mantell incident in 1948 where he crashed and died after pursuing a UFO. Was that overt? Unfortunately, we don't know what happened and probably never will.) Dr. Phil: "And if the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, I think people can take some comfort in knowing that if they were gonna melt us with a ray gun or something of that nature, they've had ample opportunity to do that. "They may have been here 1000 years before we were here. Who knows what the situation is? But we do know that as long as we've been monitoring this and tracking it, there have been no overt hostile acts and I think people can take some comfort in that, and should." (See the work of Peter Levenda for a deeper look at that. "They might have been attacking us for centuries already, in ways that make sense to them... What if they are attacking us through the manipulation of consciousness? ~Peter Levenda More... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ~ (I'm glad Bryce pushed back a bit.) Bryce Zabel: "They should. The only thing I would say is, if we're dealing with a non-human intelligence - or an NHI, as we like to say now - we'd have to assume that they think differently than us. So even in our own world, in the United States, we tend to think in four-year terms because of presidential terms, right? So you can't get something off the ground if it can't get done right away. The Chinese may think in 100-year terms when they think about Taiwan or whatever. "It's possible there are alien or non-human intelligences that think in a different time frame. If their time frame was 1000 years, then they could just be getting started. "And on the topic of the nuclear issue, which I share concern of. I mean, I think the nuclear issue means it is at least a national-security issue of some kind. Now, I've heard people talk about this, Dr. Phil, two different ways. Some people say, 'Well, you know, they're looking at our nuclear capabilities because they want to protect us from ourselves.' "Okay, that's great, I hope that's true. But the other would be: what do you do before you actually go to war with anybody, is you do reconnaissance. You try to find out what the other guy has. What are their assets? What are their capabilities?" (That may freak out some people but all angles should be considered.) Zabel: "So, I think the problem that we need to overcome in this country is getting to a place where we understand this phenomenon that we're encountering enough that we can at least start to figure out intent. What is the intent? "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious? What is it? And so, we got a lot of work to do, and I think that's why I am so supportive of your current efforts because you're, basically, saying, 'Let's get started, people. Let's really take this seriously. Let's quit fooling around and stigmatizing people that want to take it seriously, and let's get to work.' But let's get to work as a human race. Let's start sharing what we know and let's make progress. That's where I'm coming from, too." (Bringing up abductions is important because it IS part of this discussion and it shouldn't be avoided. Kudos to Bryce!) Dr. Phil: "I saw a study that said 71% of Americans believe that there are aliens that have been or are in our earthly space. And it's interesting...I read that in one context, it said, 'Look, this is not going to be such a big deal if this gets verified.' "You know, there's one thing to say that in the abstract, like, 'Yeah, I think yeah probably there are.' It's a whole other different situation if you turn around and see somebody standing there. The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified. (100%. That's my favorite part of the interview and it's so true.) Dr. Phil: "And I hope that we are going to put enough context around this, particularly knowing that there are segments of our population that are very vulnerable. There are some elderly folks that aren't up on technology and might be overwhelmed by the reality of this. "We have certain populations that might be easily disoriented or destabilized in the mental emotional fringes of the population. And I worry about those that are easily exploitable. You know, you need to get out of the urban areas, buy our buried school bus in the mountains, and you'll be safe forever. You know the con artists and the scammers are going to find every opportunity to prey upon those that are concerned and worried about this. "And I think we need to be prepared to take care of those that might be destabilized by this information that's coming out right now, we can't pretend they aren't there. We've made those mistakes in the past, like during COVID, for example. There are those that are more impacted than others, and we need to be prepared to handle that." Christopher K. Mellon: "We, recently, commissioned a study by a group of six psychologists, PhD psychologists, on this topic of how the public would receive this information. And it was generally very encouraging. And what they found was that the great bulk of the population, as they have in the past with other epical changes such as the Copernican principle, or evolution, or general relativity, it takes people a while to process this information. There's a period of resistance. But most people will get up, get out of bed, go to work the next day. They're not devastated, even though there's nothing quite comparable to this, perhaps." (There's no perhaps. A government or respected figure admitting that we're not alone on this planet would be unprecedented and there is NOTHING we can compare it to.) Mellon: "What the study did find is that there is likely, however, to be a subset of people, maybe 15% of the population, that are going to need some help. And that we are not necessarily prepared in our present state to provide that kind of assistance, and we need to be doing more to get ready for that." (If he's talking world population, that's about 1.2 BILLION people who are going to need some help dealing with this. Holy crap. 😬) Mellon: "And also, to work on the messaging. The messaging is so important, clear and consistent messaging from the government, trying to develop trust with the American people so that the information is is accepted and acted on." (For me, I want the whole truth more than the right "message.") Mellon: "A lot of the difference will be people who can't get their head around it, even though they really understand it. But because of their own belief structure, the architecture of their own belief structure, for some reason, in their particular individual case, it's particularly threatening or disruptive. "So there will be people who fall into that category, according to this study, who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening."

Cody Hudson is a 2021 Florida C-19 vaccine-injured college student. His case is peer reviewed and published. After Rituxan/Rituximab treatment during his March hospitalization for two strokes and two blood clots in the heart, Cody experienced complete B-cell destruction to suppress the immune driver of his treatment-resistant blood clotting disorder antibodies. He still experiences strokes, DVT, pulmonary embolism, and microclotting even while fully anticoagulated. His T cells are now handling the heavy lifting for his immune system as we try to stabilize the disorder. Part of his story appears in this video describing the March 2026 hospitalization. We are working on a longer documentary that will cover what happened after that hospitalization on June 16, at home, when Cody experienced a massive flare of his insidious autoimmune blood clotting disorder, that suddenly brought on 30 to 40 pounds of localized lymphatic edema in both legs over three days! He then felt crushing chest pain, and we rushed him to the hospital. After a couple of hours at the hospital ER, he suffered a massive blood pressure drop and went into A-fib. During this ER visit- right in front of our eyes, he developed a large, severe microclotting wound over his left lower leg & foot that destroyed skin & tissue, creating a third-degree burn-like wound from below the knee down over the foot. To save his life, he required cardioversion twice—one chemical and one electrical. His heart ejection fraction was only 15%, and the situation was so severe that the hospital wanted to amputate his leg and move him to comfort care. His dad and I called our state surgeon general, who has followed Cody’s case closely. He and Senator Ron Johnson arranged a Medevac helicopter flight on Father’s Day to a level-one trauma center. We have been here with Cody for about a month. He was scheduled for skin grafting on the top of his foot after new skin failed to grow for 24 days, but surgery was delayed due to new bowel bleeding. He also developed myocarditis while on high-dose steroids. While awaiting surgery, his feet and lower legs began to show healing. I have been aggressively using silver gel products to treat the leg wound. At first I was reprimanded for not using hospital products, but then plastic surgery noted the new tissue growth. After seeing my comparison photos, they ordered silver sulfadiazine. Cody has been in this hospital about 30 days. About three weeks in, he developed pressure/bed sores and I used honey calcium alginate on the wounds, which closed completely within about eight hours. Quickly! Hospital “butt cream” and zinc products had not worked. I handle all Cody’s wound care, with the wound care team, dermatology, and ortho checking regularly. With his B cells destroyed by Rituxan, we must stay hyper-vigilant against infection. These large wounds can easily become infected, boggy, or necrotic. Infection is my biggest concern. Please continue praying with us that Cody avoids infection. His bowel is still bleeding, so the skin graft surgery is on hold, but we hope he can avoid it. Cody is tough as nails—in severe pain but fighting hard through this latest flare. He can’t fight this alone and we can’t fight this alone! We love you all for caring, checking in on Cody’s case, supporting our family, and helping his dad and me stay at his side. I feel desperately sorry for any family member stuck in the hospital who doesn’t get to stay with their loved one. I know that if Cody didn’t have us vigilantly watching over him and ensuring his legs receive the best possible products and care, he would have lost his leg by now. For him, amputation is a life-or-death situation, especially with a blood clotting disorder that does not respond to blood thinners. So we really, really need those prayers! To all those who follow his case, pray, support, send notes of encouragement, donate, and repost—we are so grateful for your prayers and support. 🫶🙏

Cody Hudson is a 2021 Florida C-19 vaccine-injured college student. His case is peer reviewed and published. After Rituxan/Rituximab treatment during his March hospitalization for two strokes and two blood clots in the heart, Cody experienced complete B-cell destruction to suppress the immune driver of his treatment-resistant blood clotting disorder antibodies. He still experiences strokes, DVT, pulmonary embolism, and microclotting even while fully anticoagulated. His T cells are now handling the heavy lifting for his immune system as we try to stabilize the disorder. Part of his story appears in this video describing the March 2026 hospitalization. We are working on a longer documentary that will cover what happened after that hospitalization on June 16, at home, when Cody experienced a massive flare of his insidious autoimmune blood clotting disorder, that suddenly brought on 30 to 40 pounds of localized lymphatic edema in both legs over three days! He then felt crushing chest pain, and we rushed him to the hospital. After a couple of hours at the hospital ER, he suffered a massive blood pressure drop and went into A-fib. During this ER visit- right in front of our eyes, he developed a large, severe microclotting wound over his left lower leg & foot that destroyed skin & tissue, creating a third-degree burn-like wound from below the knee down over the foot. To save his life, he required cardioversion twice—one chemical and one electrical. His heart ejection fraction was only 15%, and the situation was so severe that the hospital wanted to amputate his leg and move him to comfort care. His dad and I called our state surgeon general, who has followed Cody’s case closely. He and Senator Ron Johnson arranged a Medevac helicopter flight on Father’s Day to a level-one trauma center. We have been here with Cody for about a month. He was scheduled for skin grafting on the top of his foot after new skin failed to grow for 24 days, but surgery was delayed due to new bowel bleeding. He also developed myocarditis while on high-dose steroids. While awaiting surgery, his feet and lower legs began to show healing. I have been aggressively using silver gel products to treat the leg wound. At first I was reprimanded for not using hospital products, but then plastic surgery noted the new tissue growth. After seeing my comparison photos, they ordered silver sulfadiazine. Cody has been in this hospital about 30 days. About three weeks in, he developed pressure/bed sores and I used honey calcium alginate on the wounds, which closed completely within about eight hours. Quickly! Hospital “butt cream” and zinc products had not worked. I handle all Cody’s wound care, with the wound care team, dermatology, and ortho checking regularly. With his B cells destroyed by Rituxan, we must stay hyper-vigilant against infection. These large wounds can easily become infected, boggy, or necrotic. Infection is my biggest concern. Please continue praying with us that Cody avoids infection. His bowel is still bleeding, so the skin graft surgery is on hold, but we hope he can avoid it. Cody is tough as nails—in severe pain but fighting hard through this latest flare. He can’t fight this alone and we can’t fight this alone! We love you all for caring, checking in on Cody’s case, supporting our family, and helping his dad and me stay at his side. I feel desperately sorry for any family member stuck in the hospital who doesn’t get to stay with their loved one. I know that if Cody didn’t have us vigilantly watching over him and ensuring his legs receive the best possible products and care, he would have lost his leg by now. For him, amputation is a life-or-death situation, especially with a blood clotting disorder that does not respond to blood thinners. So we really, really need those prayers!

Something very weird happened last night. SNEAKO, a pro-Hitler, pro-IRGC, pro-Osama Bin Laden and openly anti-Jewish and anti-American streamer called X Head of Product Nikita Bier Nikita Bier live during his stream to talk about X streaming. Nikita answered Sneako’s call immediately and replied by typing, “it’s only the beginning….welcome to X” when Sneako told his chat he was streaming on X. "We just launched our new streaming tools.. we're gonna keep investing in it”, Nikita said. Nikita was very casual in his call with Sneako, which means this isn’t the first time they have spoken. Given Sneako’s open support of Islamic terrorists, I’d say Sneako is not a good brand ambassador for X. I really enjoy using X and I am grateful Elon Musk purchased the platform where so many people bypass the mainstream media and create content that inspires the masses. I worry that someone like Sneako will drive people away from the platform that so many of us enjoy using. I hope we can get some answers about this because Sneako actively roots for Amercia’s adversaries on his stream and frequently supports Islamic jihad. When the Ayatollah was killed in an airstrike, Sneako held a memorial stream for him and said he was rooting for Iran. Sneako once tweeted that Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of 9/11 “did nothing wrong”. You’ll recall, Sneako was also just caught on camera in a club in Miami a couple months ago throwing up a Nazi salute while singing the song “Heil Hitler”. I really enjoy X and have been multi-streaming on Rumble 🏴‍☠️ and X for over a year to create original content. I hope Nikita will reach out to a plethora of other content creators and not allow the X brand to be overrun by Sneako’s third world pro-terror streams where he works to radicalize his young male audience into converting to Islam, hating America, and hating the Jews. Nikita Bier Elon Musk thanks for all you do. I love using X products, but please know many people who use X and enjoy X streams are very disturbed by this. Sneako is not someone you want your brand attached to, and I say this respectfully as someone who uses the platform to create journalistic content daily. Please take my comments into consideration. I have an entire archive of video evidence of Sneako’s pro-terror and pro-Hitler behavior if you’d like me to send it to you. He is a liability in the way he’s trying to radicalize his following. I’m saying this in the most respectful way possible. Thank you.

Something is wrong when American soldiers survive Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS-K attacks in Afghanistan only to be executed in broad daylight by one of their operatives in Washington, D.C. Is it the fault of the bureaucrats who dismissed our warnings that these terrorists were already inside the United States—some evacuated? Is it the fault of the Senators who are stalling the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act after we proved your money was funneled to the Taliban? We told them the Taliban are the same as they were on 9/11 and nothing has changed. Is it the fault of the Members of Congress who voted down an amendment that would stop all U.S. intelligence sharing with the Taliban? Is it the fault of the experts who crowned the Taliban as America’s counterterrorism partner, and continued collecting intelligence from them despite our repeated briefings that the Taliban hosts a dozen international terrorist groups? Is it the fault of the CIA’s political leadership who claimed the Taliban can be trusted and relied on to tell the U.S. government who’s who and what they are planning? Is it the fault of the FBI’s political leadership who insisted the vetting system is flawless and that the American public has nothing to worry about? We told them that the Taliban and the Haqqani Network had issued tens of thousands of legitimate Afghan passports to terrorists. Is it the fault of the State Department officials who issued the terrorists U.S. visas, arranged their charter flights, and resettled them in your communities—all with your tax dollars? When American soldiers are killed on American soil, it’s everyone’s fault. They were on duty to protect everyone. It is your fault for dismissing us as “disgruntled veterans,” and waiting for polished lies from an agency instead of the raw truth from the men still fighting the Taliban, al-Qaeda and ISIS-K. And it’s my fault because I did not say the threat is real loud enough. I may not have said it to enough people. God protect this country, and God protect the troops, because the political parties are failing. I support President Trump, and I hope he uses all of his executive powers to undo the damage done to this country’s reputation and security as a result of the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan under the last administration. What happens in Afghanistan does not stay in Afghanistan. It will continue to follow us unless America corrects course. There are no “good” terrorists. Agree on that one simple truth, or we will bury more of our best again and again. Let’s work together. This Afghan national betrayed the people of this great Nation. He deserves no mercy from its legal system. His eternal place is hell. My condolences go out to the families, battle buddies, and fellow soldiers in their unit. Thank you for putting on the uniform and for your countless sacrifices. We may not act worthy of it, but the ideals of this Nation are worth defending. Please remember: if the lights go out in America, lights will go out everywhere. God Bless America 🇺🇸 God Bless a Free Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Zack Polanski on BBC Radio 4's Today prog calmly knocking back everything Nick Robinson throws at him across 17 minutes NR (00:00.2), "Delighted to say that Zach Polanski is here in the Today programme studio, for the latest, indeed, for the last of our party leader interviews. Morning to you and thanks for coming in." ZP (00:09.2), "Thanks for having me." NR (00:09.8), "Nick, I want to talk to you about what your party would do if it does indeed gain some power after the votes on Thursday. But I want to begin by putting to you one of the latest storeys about you. A Times investigation says that you've made a series of false or disputed claims about jobs you've had in the past with." NR (00:31.8), "Why, for example, did you say you were a spokesperson for the British Red Cross when they are absolutely clear that, though a supporter of theirs, you were never a spokesperson for them?" ZP (00:42.3), "So I hosted, various fundraisers for the British Red Cross and indeed I would go on stage and speak for them about the amazing work they do tackling humanitarian crises, on the climate crisis and indeed for refugees all around the world. I use the wrong word and I accept that." ZP (00:57.5), "But I would essentially take words on stage with me and speak. It's important, though, and I accept this, that, you know, I don't support any political party and I've made sure that's been taken down." NR (01:06.5), "You say this sort of storey is a fuss about nothing, that you get your facts wrong because it comes up with other examples." ZP (01:11.7), "Well, I think it's totally fine to ask me questions about my past. I would also say in the same breath, though the Times published a pretty anti Semitic cartoon of me last week. I asked them to apologise. And it feels some of these storeys feel like scraping the barrel to kind of go back 10, 15 years. I've had so many friends, I'm literally talking maybe 20 or 30 in the last few weeks who have phoned me and said, a Times journalist has been phoning and they've been desperately trying, trying to find things about your past." ZP (01:36.5), "They asked me lots of questions and seemed disappointed that I didn't have some juicy, dirty gossip." NR (01:41.6), "Yeah, well, there was. Whether you call it juicy or dirty, and it wasn't gossip, it was a fact. The fact that you claimed that as a hypnotherapist, you could enlarge women's breasts using the power of thought. People are entitled to say, what's this guy really about?" ZP (01:57.2), "People are totally entitled to say that. And that's an important part of politics, that people ask you questions. What I would say is that, you know, this was 13 years ago. It was a Sun journalist's idea. I've apologised for that. Because even though it was a son journalist idea, I was an adult and I should have said no, you went along with it." NR (02:12.6), "Yeah." ZP (02:12.9), "It's important to say I wasn't a politician. And I've apologised for it repeatedly." NR (02:16.7), "And the BBC showed that some days later, in fact, you repeated the claim that you could do it. But let us not get bogged down in the past. It is striking, though, that on X last night, when, let's be honest, people who are critics of you are having a go. The Daily Mail calls it the Green Menace on its front page." NR (02:34.1), "How did you react? You said you were under relentless attacks because they, your critics don't want a wealth tax, don't want public ownership. They're trying everything in their power to stop us, you said. It's a curious thing to say, isn't it? Ahead of local elections, Green councillors will not have the power to implement any of those policies, will they?" ZP (02:54.8), "Well, I think the relentless attacks on the Green Party in this election, for a local election have partly been about the local election, but really they're about the bigger picture right now. The bigger picture is when I ran to be leader of the Green party, we had 50,000 members, we've now got 225,000 members. So we are rising." ZP (03:11.1), "And I think lots of people are worried about the prospect. And when I say people, people who own, right wing media, multimillionaires and billionaires who are worried about the prospect that they might have to pay a little bit more tax. And so I think it's important that I focus on the vision and the hope and our actual plan." ZP (03:27.4), "I also think it's a complete reality, though we've seen it in the past before with left wing leaders, that there's no secret, there's no love lost between me and the right wing media. And almost every single day they print things that just aren't true." NR (03:38.8), "But just address the point I raised. Wealth tax councils won't get to do that. Public ownership councils don't get to do that. Well, not entirely. We'll come to that in a second. You are running on a national platform of change that the people who are elected on Thursday, whether in the Welsh Parliament, you don't run candidates in the Scottish one, or in English, local councils simply cannot do." ZP (04:03.2), "Well, I think it's about what are your values as a party? And whilst other party leaders and other parties take donations from oil and gas companies or arms trade companies, private healthcare or gambling, Green Party councillors only have two vested interests and Those vested interests. We want to protect the communities we seek to serve and we want to protect the environment." NR (04:21.6), "Well, let's come to that, then, because most interesting, perhaps, is to look at what Greens say who are running for office. You are not. You are a member of the London assembly, you're not a Member of Parliament, you're not running in these elections. Now, you live in Hackney. Hackney happens in northeast London to be a top Green target for taking control from the Labour Party." NR (04:41.9), "So let's look at protecting communities. For example, on crime, the manifesto calls the Metropolitan Police institutionally racist, homophobic, sexist and misogynists. It goes on to say, greens cannot accept this system. It calls for safe spaces for, heroin users to shoot up, to end cautions for street prostitution and to end what the manifesto calls discriminatory policing of delivery riders." NR (05:08.8), "This is an agenda for an endless fight with the police, isn't it?" ZP (05:12.0), "I don't think so. Baroness Casey, in the last couple of years, did a review into Metropolitan Police and it was actually the findings that found it institutionally racist and misogynistic. Something that Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, to his credit, accepts. It is noticeable that Mark Rowley, the Commissioner of the Police, doesn't accept that, yet they continue, to work together in that way." ZP (05:31.1), "On the issue of drug harm, we have the highest drug deaths, of any country in Europe. And every single year for the past 13 years, drug deaths have increased. So I think the question anyone has, and we have in Hackney, is that the war on drugs has clearly failed. It's failed in cities right across this country, and more and more people are, often taking dangerous drugs." ZP (05:50.3), "So do we want people to buy them on the black market or on street corners? Or do we want people to go to a pharmacy or a medical health professional where, if they have an addiction to dangerous drugs, we can work with them to take a public health approach based in harm reduction." NR (06:02.7), "Public health approaches to. Is to legalise hard drugs and to legalise prostitution, you say to legalise and regulate and the regulators. It's still legalised, isn't it?" ZP (06:11.5), "No, the point is you can't just go into a shop and buy drugs, which is how it's presented in the press. Again, because I can keep talking about what councillors can do, rather than what" NR (06:18.3), "you would do if you were Prime Minister, because that's for another interview. Are you saying councillors should cut the police budget? Because that's what it seems to imply when you say, we cannot accept this system, let the council spend Money on crime reduction. Don't give that money to the police." ZP (06:33.7), "It's about reprioritizing. So it's." NR (06:35.5), "Does that mean cut in English?" ZP (06:36.7), "No. So let's look at example. We're straight back onto drugs. A lot of police time is spent on stop and search for cannabis use, for instance. It doesn't escape people's notice that that is often, in the politics of racism, if you're a young black person, I think it's something like you're 18 times more likely to be stopped and searched than your white peer, despite the fact there's no evidence that they're more likely to be dealing or using drugs." ZP (07:00.8), "And so I think it's important that we make sure the police time is spent properly, which I think is about community prevention, about cohesiveness and bringing communities together, particularly in, like, whether it means redirecting the budget." NR (07:11.4), "Does it mean the police budget?" ZP (07:12.9), "Well, it means redirecting within the police budget, so making sure that the time police are spent is spent on community safety." NR (07:18.2), "Well, it's interesting that we talked about police because, as you know, you've come under serious criticism for retweeting criticism of the action of the police officers who stopped the alleged attacker of Jews in Golda's Green. Now, you apologised for retweeting that." NR (07:34.1), "You said you should have a meeting with the head of the Met. You sent him a letter. I want to ask you a different question. You've not apologised for the content of that. Why did you empathise with the attacker, and not with police officers who feared for their own lives and were trying to protect other people's lives?" ZP (07:53.3), "I think there's two things in that that I, really clearly want to say. The first is my very first response to the attack was to be horrif, as everyone was, I'm sure. And the first thing I posted was solidarity to the victim, to the family and indeed, to people who are suffering right now, including as a Jewish man, where Jewish safety is not abstract." NR (08:12.0), "But then you posted that officers were repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head when he was incapacitated by a Taser, caused extreme offence to those officers, to the head of the Met and to many people. I ask you again, why did you empathise, Empathise with the attacker, not with the police officer." ZP (08:28.9), "As I said, there's two things I wanted to say, so that was the first. The second, what I want to say is two things can be true at the same Time officers are incredibly brave when they run towards scenes of crimes that most people, including myself, would want to run away from. At the same time, I think it is accurate, and that I was also traumatised, by seeing, someone handcuffed and completely, repeatedly kicked in the head." ZP (08:51.7), "Now, sure, if you'll forgive me, it is an answer," NR (08:54.4), "but it's not an answer to the question. You posted something with the power that you have, with the number of people who follows us, and not empathising in that post with the Jewish community or critically with the police officers, you empathise with the attacker. Look what they're doing to the alleged attacker." ZP (09:11.1), "I don't think it was your choice. As I say, the first thing I did was show solidarity to the victims and I thank the officers. Second, though, I think the sign of a compassionate society is how we treat people, even people who have done horrific things, because actually, the way we do justice in this country is in court." NR (09:26.0), "You said a key value of the Greens was protecting communities. What are your proposals for protecting the Jewish community?" ZP (09:33.5), "The Jewish community is not safe right now. And as I said, as a Jewish man, this isn't abstract for me. In fact, in the last six weeks alone, two people have been arrested. So how would you protect anti Semitic attacks towards me? I think there's lots that needs to happen in this country. The first is community cohesion and community building. Some of the work that I'm proudest of in London, that I see Londoners do, is where I see the Jewish community working alongside the Muslim community." NR (09:55.1), "What would you do? What would Zach Polanski do in order to reduce attacks on the Jewish community?" ZP (09:59.9), "So, first of all, to invest in that work, that community, faith work, to make sure communities stand together. Second, to make sure that the Jewish community, give them the investment that they need. In fact, what the Prime Minister has been doing to make sure that happens. I do think a police response is the last response when everything before it has failed." NR (10:17.6), "I still think you're not really answering the question about what you would do. Let me ask you this." ZP (10:21.0), "I think I do." NR (10:21.6), "Would you deal with, for example, a candidate who says Jewish people fear hate because they know they should be hated. Another one who suggested that the attacks on the ambulances was a false flag and carried out, presumably by Israel. Another of your candidates who blamed Israel for the Bondi beach terrorist attack." NR (10:41.0), "A fourth candidate who said Donald Trump was, quote, owned by Jews. And most horrifying of all, although this individual has now been arrested, one of your candidates who Reposted something saying ramming a synagogue isn't anti Semitism, it's revenge." NR (10:56.8), "What are you, Zach Polanski doing to end these disgusting messages?" ZP (11:03.5), "Those messages are all unacceptable and it's important to condemn that. The Green Party are an anti racist party and it's important that we stick to our values." NR (11:11.0), "We can't just say the words were an anti racist bar to. And I've just read you out five of the most revolting comments at a time when, according to an independent advisor, we face a national emergency of anti Semitism. I'm asking you, you're not responsible for everything they say. Of course you're not." NR (11:26.3), "You can't be." ZP (11:27.3), "I am responsible, actually." NR (11:28.2), "What are you going to do about it?" ZP (11:29.0), "I am the leader of a party. I was about to finish my sentence." NR (11:31.5), "Forgive me. Go on." ZP (11:32.4), "We're an anti racist party. And so what I've already committed to doing is making sure that we have a standardised vetting process in future. And also make sure that we have compulsory training of all our candidates to make it clear that anti Semitism is completely unwelcome in the Green Party as it is in society. It is also important to say one case of anti Semitism is one too many." ZP (11:50.5), "This is a handful of cases and actually we have over 4,500 candidates, the vast, vast majority of which are doing amazing work in their communities right now, going out there to tackle the cost of living crisis, to make sure that we're funding public services and making sure that it's about people power and community, grassroots power." NR (12:05.1), "You can dismiss one or two as, just, unrepresentative. I've just read five. I could have read 20 cases of revolting anti Semitism posted by your candidates. Now you're a new leader, how are you going to avoid becoming the new Jeremy Corbyn of British politics?" ZP (12:21.5), "Well, I think me and Jeremy are very different people and there's much, you know, the question was almost inviting me to condemn Jeremy Corbyn. I think there was lots that Jeremy Corbyn was putting forward to this country that I think was really positive. We've talked about wealth taxes, about public ownership. I also think it's important, speaking, for myself right now, that we make sure that we have this vetting process, that it's really clear that anti Semitism, Islamophobia, any form of hatred or hate, crime is not welcome." NR (12:47.3), "Do you believe that Palestine is, to coin a phrase, on the ballot this Thursday?" ZP (12:52.3), "I think lots of things are on the ballot this Thursday." NR (12:54.6), "But is Palestine on the ballot? This." ZP (12:56.2), "I think it's one of the elements, as is the climate crisis. As is." NR (12:58.7), "What does it mean Palestine is on the ballot? Because. The reason I ask you is because your candidate for mayor of Lewisham says Palestine is on the ballot this Thursday. Haringey Green Party campaign launch video. You might think it'd be about bins, you might think it'd be about schools, hospitals, it might be about cleaning up the roads." NR (13:17.2), "It is a series of councillors saying, as a council, I will take all appropriate steps to, uphold the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. Do you think council elections really should be about Palestine?" ZP (13:29.8), "I think they can be about all of those things. And I think what people have seen in this country is a genocide for two and a half years that our government is still arming, are still sharing intelligence with. And I think lots of people feel very strongly both about their local services, as they should do, and feel equally strongly about the fact that there's a reprehensible genocide happening." ZP (13:48.5), "And they vote, but the way they vote in local elections" NR (13:52.6), "should be determined by their views of Israel and Palestine." ZP (13:56.0), "I wouldn't tell anyone how their vote should be determined, but I think it's an element for lots of people in how they vote." NR (14:00.1), "And do you think that will contribute to community cohesion? Do you?" ZP (14:02.7), "I think yes, because I think, we shouldn't pit Jewish safety against a genocide in Gaza. That's conflating anti Semitism and criticism of the Israeli government. That's something Benjamin Netanyahu does regularly. And as a Jewish person, that makes me feel less safe." NR (14:16.4), "Sure. But there are lots of Jewish people who would say to you they feel unsafe if they feel that their counsellors are motivated first and foremost by Palestine. And if somebody gives that speech, for example, about Palestine being on the ballot, they are likely to think that." NR (14:34.6), "We looked for, example at Barnett Greens, where one in seven residents identify as Jewish. And it includes in its manifesto the fact that, you're standing up for Palestine. Do you think that's going to help?" ZP (14:49.0), "Well, I walk regularly on Palestinian marches with hundreds and hundreds, in fact, thousands of people, many of whom are Jewish. And there have been rabbis who have spoken out on this too. I accept, though, there are Jewish people whose views are equally as valid who, don't agree with those views." ZP (15:04.0), "And I think the job of all of us who are in public life right now is to de. Escalate tensions. And look, how do we bring people together? And I accept that's a huge challenge. And I think one of the ways we could do that is by ending our complicity in the genocide." NR (15:15.4), "Let's turn finally to another issue. We'll talk at greater length when, we're talking about the possibility of you being Prime Minister, which you have said that you would like to do. One thing that is very high on the agenda now is the soaring cost of government borrowing. What would the Greens do to cut it?" ZP (15:30.6), "Well, I think we need to make sure that we're investing. So I think there's two ways of doing that. The first is, wealth taxes, which I know we've rehearsed before, but I'll just say that's for first place." NR (15:38.4), "How does that cut government borrowing?" ZP (15:40.2), "Because ultimately it means you need to borrow less if you're." NR (15:43.0), "If you're ultimately about cutting the cost of government borrowing." ZP (15:45.5), "Yes." NR (15:45.8), "Which is soaring. It's higher than it's been any time this century because people are nervous about high spending, high taxing governments that are politically unstable." ZP (15:54.7), "I think someone who speaks brilliantly on this, who I've spoken to, is the economist Mariana Matsicatu, and she talks about the fact that a government should have a mission that should be a very clear plan of how you tackle the climate crisis, how you reduce inequality. Now, if you have a clear plan and you're borrowing for that, you're taking the market with you because they can clearly see what the return on investment is and how you're bringing money back into the." ZP (16:15.2), "That's how you reduce borrowing levels. If we don't have a plan and continue to borrow, then it feels very, very scattered, and that's why things are getting worse. We need to make sure that there's a consistent plan in place that's set out carefully that can make sure we're putting money back into our communities and investing in those communities." NR (16:29.3), "Do you think you're ready to be Prime Minister?" ZP (16:31.1), "I'm not ready right now, no. I've been leader for eight months, and there's lots of skills and lots of knowledge to get, and I think that's fine. I think I'm a human being. I'm not perfect." NR (16:38.5), "But give it two years, you will be." ZP (16:40.0), "Well, we'll see in two years time, won't we? But I'll certainly be putting in the work." NR (16:43.2), "Zach Polanski, leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, thanks very much for coming into the." ZP (16:46.3), "Thank you, Nick."
16:47

Zack Polanski on BBC Radio 4's Today prog calmly knocking back everything Nick Robinson throws at him across 17 minutes NR (00:00.2), "Delighted to say that Zach Polanski is here in the Today programme studio, for the latest, indeed, for the last of our party leader interviews. Morning to you and thanks for coming in." ZP (00:09.2), "Thanks for having me." NR (00:09.8), "Nick, I want to talk to you about what your party would do if it does indeed gain some power after the votes on Thursday. But I want to begin by putting to you one of the latest storeys about you. A Times investigation says that you've made a series of false or disputed claims about jobs you've had in the past with." NR (00:31.8), "Why, for example, did you say you were a spokesperson for the British Red Cross when they are absolutely clear that, though a supporter of theirs, you were never a spokesperson for them?" ZP (00:42.3), "So I hosted, various fundraisers for the British Red Cross and indeed I would go on stage and speak for them about the amazing work they do tackling humanitarian crises, on the climate crisis and indeed for refugees all around the world. I use the wrong word and I accept that." ZP (00:57.5), "But I would essentially take words on stage with me and speak. It's important, though, and I accept this, that, you know, I don't support any political party and I've made sure that's been taken down." NR (01:06.5), "You say this sort of storey is a fuss about nothing, that you get your facts wrong because it comes up with other examples." ZP (01:11.7), "Well, I think it's totally fine to ask me questions about my past. I would also say in the same breath, though the Times published a pretty anti Semitic cartoon of me last week. I asked them to apologise. And it feels some of these storeys feel like scraping the barrel to kind of go back 10, 15 years. I've had so many friends, I'm literally talking maybe 20 or 30 in the last few weeks who have phoned me and said, a Times journalist has been phoning and they've been desperately trying, trying to find things about your past." ZP (01:36.5), "They asked me lots of questions and seemed disappointed that I didn't have some juicy, dirty gossip." NR (01:41.6), "Yeah, well, there was. Whether you call it juicy or dirty, and it wasn't gossip, it was a fact. The fact that you claimed that as a hypnotherapist, you could enlarge women's breasts using the power of thought. People are entitled to say, what's this guy really about?" ZP (01:57.2), "People are totally entitled to say that. And that's an important part of politics, that people ask you questions. What I would say is that, you know, this was 13 years ago. It was a Sun journalist's idea. I've apologised for that. Because even though it was a son journalist idea, I was an adult and I should have said no, you went along with it." NR (02:12.6), "Yeah." ZP (02:12.9), "It's important to say I wasn't a politician. And I've apologised for it repeatedly." NR (02:16.7), "And the BBC showed that some days later, in fact, you repeated the claim that you could do it. But let us not get bogged down in the past. It is striking, though, that on X last night, when, let's be honest, people who are critics of you are having a go. The Daily Mail calls it the Green Menace on its front page." NR (02:34.1), "How did you react? You said you were under relentless attacks because they, your critics don't want a wealth tax, don't want public ownership. They're trying everything in their power to stop us, you said. It's a curious thing to say, isn't it? Ahead of local elections, Green councillors will not have the power to implement any of those policies, will they?" ZP (02:54.8), "Well, I think the relentless attacks on the Green Party in this election, for a local election have partly been about the local election, but really they're about the bigger picture right now. The bigger picture is when I ran to be leader of the Green party, we had 50,000 members, we've now got 225,000 members. So we are rising." ZP (03:11.1), "And I think lots of people are worried about the prospect. And when I say people, people who own, right wing media, multimillionaires and billionaires who are worried about the prospect that they might have to pay a little bit more tax. And so I think it's important that I focus on the vision and the hope and our actual plan." ZP (03:27.4), "I also think it's a complete reality, though we've seen it in the past before with left wing leaders, that there's no secret, there's no love lost between me and the right wing media. And almost every single day they print things that just aren't true." NR (03:38.8), "But just address the point I raised. Wealth tax councils won't get to do that. Public ownership councils don't get to do that. Well, not entirely. We'll come to that in a second. You are running on a national platform of change that the people who are elected on Thursday, whether in the Welsh Parliament, you don't run candidates in the Scottish one, or in English, local councils simply cannot do." ZP (04:03.2), "Well, I think it's about what are your values as a party? And whilst other party leaders and other parties take donations from oil and gas companies or arms trade companies, private healthcare or gambling, Green Party councillors only have two vested interests and Those vested interests. We want to protect the communities we seek to serve and we want to protect the environment." NR (04:21.6), "Well, let's come to that, then, because most interesting, perhaps, is to look at what Greens say who are running for office. You are not. You are a member of the London assembly, you're not a Member of Parliament, you're not running in these elections. Now, you live in Hackney. Hackney happens in northeast London to be a top Green target for taking control from the Labour Party." NR (04:41.9), "So let's look at protecting communities. For example, on crime, the manifesto calls the Metropolitan Police institutionally racist, homophobic, sexist and misogynists. It goes on to say, greens cannot accept this system. It calls for safe spaces for, heroin users to shoot up, to end cautions for street prostitution and to end what the manifesto calls discriminatory policing of delivery riders." NR (05:08.8), "This is an agenda for an endless fight with the police, isn't it?" ZP (05:12.0), "I don't think so. Baroness Casey, in the last couple of years, did a review into Metropolitan Police and it was actually the findings that found it institutionally racist and misogynistic. Something that Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, to his credit, accepts. It is noticeable that Mark Rowley, the Commissioner of the Police, doesn't accept that, yet they continue, to work together in that way." ZP (05:31.1), "On the issue of drug harm, we have the highest drug deaths, of any country in Europe. And every single year for the past 13 years, drug deaths have increased. So I think the question anyone has, and we have in Hackney, is that the war on drugs has clearly failed. It's failed in cities right across this country, and more and more people are, often taking dangerous drugs." ZP (05:50.3), "So do we want people to buy them on the black market or on street corners? Or do we want people to go to a pharmacy or a medical health professional where, if they have an addiction to dangerous drugs, we can work with them to take a public health approach based in harm reduction." NR (06:02.7), "Public health approaches to. Is to legalise hard drugs and to legalise prostitution, you say to legalise and regulate and the regulators. It's still legalised, isn't it?" ZP (06:11.5), "No, the point is you can't just go into a shop and buy drugs, which is how it's presented in the press. Again, because I can keep talking about what councillors can do, rather than what" NR (06:18.3), "you would do if you were Prime Minister, because that's for another interview. Are you saying councillors should cut the police budget? Because that's what it seems to imply when you say, we cannot accept this system, let the council spend Money on crime reduction. Don't give that money to the police." ZP (06:33.7), "It's about reprioritizing. So it's." NR (06:35.5), "Does that mean cut in English?" ZP (06:36.7), "No. So let's look at example. We're straight back onto drugs. A lot of police time is spent on stop and search for cannabis use, for instance. It doesn't escape people's notice that that is often, in the politics of racism, if you're a young black person, I think it's something like you're 18 times more likely to be stopped and searched than your white peer, despite the fact there's no evidence that they're more likely to be dealing or using drugs." ZP (07:00.8), "And so I think it's important that we make sure the police time is spent properly, which I think is about community prevention, about cohesiveness and bringing communities together, particularly in, like, whether it means redirecting the budget." NR (07:11.4), "Does it mean the police budget?" ZP (07:12.9), "Well, it means redirecting within the police budget, so making sure that the time police are spent is spent on community safety." NR (07:18.2), "Well, it's interesting that we talked about police because, as you know, you've come under serious criticism for retweeting criticism of the action of the police officers who stopped the alleged attacker of Jews in Golda's Green. Now, you apologised for retweeting that." NR (07:34.1), "You said you should have a meeting with the head of the Met. You sent him a letter. I want to ask you a different question. You've not apologised for the content of that. Why did you empathise with the attacker, and not with police officers who feared for their own lives and were trying to protect other people's lives?" ZP (07:53.3), "I think there's two things in that that I, really clearly want to say. The first is my very first response to the attack was to be horrif, as everyone was, I'm sure. And the first thing I posted was solidarity to the victim, to the family and indeed, to people who are suffering right now, including as a Jewish man, where Jewish safety is not abstract." NR (08:12.0), "But then you posted that officers were repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head when he was incapacitated by a Taser, caused extreme offence to those officers, to the head of the Met and to many people. I ask you again, why did you empathise, Empathise with the attacker, not with the police officer." ZP (08:28.9), "As I said, there's two things I wanted to say, so that was the first. The second, what I want to say is two things can be true at the same Time officers are incredibly brave when they run towards scenes of crimes that most people, including myself, would want to run away from. At the same time, I think it is accurate, and that I was also traumatised, by seeing, someone handcuffed and completely, repeatedly kicked in the head." ZP (08:51.7), "Now, sure, if you'll forgive me, it is an answer," NR (08:54.4), "but it's not an answer to the question. You posted something with the power that you have, with the number of people who follows us, and not empathising in that post with the Jewish community or critically with the police officers, you empathise with the attacker. Look what they're doing to the alleged attacker." ZP (09:11.1), "I don't think it was your choice. As I say, the first thing I did was show solidarity to the victims and I thank the officers. Second, though, I think the sign of a compassionate society is how we treat people, even people who have done horrific things, because actually, the way we do justice in this country is in court." NR (09:26.0), "You said a key value of the Greens was protecting communities. What are your proposals for protecting the Jewish community?" ZP (09:33.5), "The Jewish community is not safe right now. And as I said, as a Jewish man, this isn't abstract for me. In fact, in the last six weeks alone, two people have been arrested. So how would you protect anti Semitic attacks towards me? I think there's lots that needs to happen in this country. The first is community cohesion and community building. Some of the work that I'm proudest of in London, that I see Londoners do, is where I see the Jewish community working alongside the Muslim community." NR (09:55.1), "What would you do? What would Zach Polanski do in order to reduce attacks on the Jewish community?" ZP (09:59.9), "So, first of all, to invest in that work, that community, faith work, to make sure communities stand together. Second, to make sure that the Jewish community, give them the investment that they need. In fact, what the Prime Minister has been doing to make sure that happens. I do think a police response is the last response when everything before it has failed." NR (10:17.6), "I still think you're not really answering the question about what you would do. Let me ask you this." ZP (10:21.0), "I think I do." NR (10:21.6), "Would you deal with, for example, a candidate who says Jewish people fear hate because they know they should be hated. Another one who suggested that the attacks on the ambulances was a false flag and carried out, presumably by Israel. Another of your candidates who blamed Israel for the Bondi beach terrorist attack." NR (10:41.0), "A fourth candidate who said Donald Trump was, quote, owned by Jews. And most horrifying of all, although this individual has now been arrested, one of your candidates who Reposted something saying ramming a synagogue isn't anti Semitism, it's revenge." NR (10:56.8), "What are you, Zach Polanski doing to end these disgusting messages?" ZP (11:03.5), "Those messages are all unacceptable and it's important to condemn that. The Green Party are an anti racist party and it's important that we stick to our values." NR (11:11.0), "We can't just say the words were an anti racist bar to. And I've just read you out five of the most revolting comments at a time when, according to an independent advisor, we face a national emergency of anti Semitism. I'm asking you, you're not responsible for everything they say. Of course you're not." NR (11:26.3), "You can't be." ZP (11:27.3), "I am responsible, actually." NR (11:28.2), "What are you going to do about it?" ZP (11:29.0), "I am the leader of a party. I was about to finish my sentence." NR (11:31.5), "Forgive me. Go on." ZP (11:32.4), "We're an anti racist party. And so what I've already committed to doing is making sure that we have a standardised vetting process in future. And also make sure that we have compulsory training of all our candidates to make it clear that anti Semitism is completely unwelcome in the Green Party as it is in society. It is also important to say one case of anti Semitism is one too many." ZP (11:50.5), "This is a handful of cases and actually we have over 4,500 candidates, the vast, vast majority of which are doing amazing work in their communities right now, going out there to tackle the cost of living crisis, to make sure that we're funding public services and making sure that it's about people power and community, grassroots power." NR (12:05.1), "You can dismiss one or two as, just, unrepresentative. I've just read five. I could have read 20 cases of revolting anti Semitism posted by your candidates. Now you're a new leader, how are you going to avoid becoming the new Jeremy Corbyn of British politics?" ZP (12:21.5), "Well, I think me and Jeremy are very different people and there's much, you know, the question was almost inviting me to condemn Jeremy Corbyn. I think there was lots that Jeremy Corbyn was putting forward to this country that I think was really positive. We've talked about wealth taxes, about public ownership. I also think it's important, speaking, for myself right now, that we make sure that we have this vetting process, that it's really clear that anti Semitism, Islamophobia, any form of hatred or hate, crime is not welcome." NR (12:47.3), "Do you believe that Palestine is, to coin a phrase, on the ballot this Thursday?" ZP (12:52.3), "I think lots of things are on the ballot this Thursday." NR (12:54.6), "But is Palestine on the ballot? This." ZP (12:56.2), "I think it's one of the elements, as is the climate crisis. As is." NR (12:58.7), "What does it mean Palestine is on the ballot? Because. The reason I ask you is because your candidate for mayor of Lewisham says Palestine is on the ballot this Thursday. Haringey Green Party campaign launch video. You might think it'd be about bins, you might think it'd be about schools, hospitals, it might be about cleaning up the roads." NR (13:17.2), "It is a series of councillors saying, as a council, I will take all appropriate steps to, uphold the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. Do you think council elections really should be about Palestine?" ZP (13:29.8), "I think they can be about all of those things.

"Expecting rebuttals to remain confined to journals, while misinformation spreads freely online, is neither realism nor appropriate. If something is promoted in public, it must be corrected in public." ~Proctor's Response to Coulthart (Why am I spending more time on this? American Alchemy's video on the mummies has 904,000 views. @incredhistory's video has 5,500 views. The original, sensationalistic claims always do MUCH better than any evidence that is presented later that throws cold water on said claims. That's always been an issue. That could change if Jesse makes a short video on his YT channel right now, linked to the @incredhistory video, and implores his viewers to watch it with an open mind. And/or if he pins a tweet linking his X followers to the "Incredible History" analysis.) "At one point in time, I was truly wondering if these [mummies] were a new species." ~Accused Debunker, Will Brown 🙂 "It's just too early, yet, for me to make any kind of definitive statement about what I think about these objects." ~Ross Coulthart (After watching the new video by "Incredible History" and the interview done on "Weaponized," it's not too early for me (and MANY other people) to say I believe they're fake. Others felt they were fake right from the start but I wanted to wait for more evidence. We have that now. From yesterday's "Reality Check" with Coulthart and Meagan Medick.) Coulthart: "I think (the new @incredhistory video) is important. It raises... I've actually been in touch with the gentleman who made it, Will (Brown), and I'm hoping to some stage, talk to him. And I'd like to include what he says in any analysis that we do on NewsNation about the tridactals." (Who are the experts featured in the new "Incredible History" video segments that I clipped below? Dr. Daniel Proctor (Galaxopithecus), "has a PhD in bio-anthropology. Specifically, his area of focus is the hands and the feet. He has published papers on the evolution of the hands and the feet, including focusing of the ability to grasp." Dr. Joseph A.P. Wilson (Joseph A P Wilson), "earned his doctorate in anthropology from the University of Florida. he's current lecturer in archeology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and part time lecturer in anthropology at Fairfield University. And more importantly., before academia, he worked as a molecular genetic technologist at Greenwood Genetic Center in South Carolina." Michele - Mrs Anthrope (Radiographer) - Mrs. Anthrope The descriptions of their credentials is from the "Incredible History" video which I clipped a few segments from and included below.) ~More from Reality Check~ Coulthart: "We've filmed in Peru, and we've spoken directly with the doctors there. As I said in social media commentary that was posted before I left Peru, it's just too early, yet, for me to make any kind of definitive statement about what I think about these objects. I'm very careful not to even say, beings." (Again, after the seeing the "Incredible History" video, it shouldn't be too early to offer up a new opinion.) Coulthart: "I certainly got the impression from the CT tomography scans that they seemed like intact beings of some kind. But frankly, I'm not an anatomist. I'm not an anthropologist or anyone with any kind of experience in a scientific analysis of these beings. And I think we'll have to go with what good science says. And all the way through in this, what the scientists in Peru have told me, and what the scientists in America and indeed in Mexico have told me, is they want independent review. They want independent assessment. "And I guess what I'm a little worried about is the partisan way, the way that on UFO, UAP, Twitter, social media, people take their positions and adopt in a definitive position once and for all. This is a hoax, or this is real. Frankly, I just don't think we know enough right now. I don't think you can base a final conclusion on an analysis of a couple of bones in one alleged being's scans. I've heard arguments two and for." (With the new information, it's NOT "partisan" and I am NOT saying "once and for all." But I think the arguments for fraud put forth by "Incredible History" are pretty damning and are enough to show anybody with an open mind that there are massive problems with the hypothesis that these are non-human beings or...hybrids of humans and non-humans. It appears to be a done deal: aka Fake.) Coulthart: "What I think will be definitive, and I'm aware that there is a DNA analysis underway at the moment. I don't know the name of the institution in the United States that's doing it, but there is some kind of DNA analysis underway, which will hopefully provide us with more answers as to the genetic origins of whatever these objects are. And that should be coming out sometime this year, hopefully fairly early up. "Until then, yes, I do think that we should acknowledge that there's been some great work done to raise, I think, serious questions about the legitimacy or the authenticity of the beings or the objects, but let's keep an open mind and let's reward and applaud good science where it's done. "This isn't like some kind of wrestling bout. You know, there's not a winner or a loser." (The credibility of the non-human subject is in danger of being set back because so many people in this community want to believe so hard and will ignore anything that goes against those beliefs. If these, apparent, hoaxes are not called out and done so, forcefully, we're all going to lose.) Coulthart: "Science is an iterative process where people basically do an analysis and make an assessment. Let's make those assessments, do the independent work, make sure that independent scientists with rigor get peer reviewed and checked and assessed, and then we can come up with a judgment. "I think the real tragedy would be if these are, potentially, if they are significantly important objects that have, basically, been procured as part of Peru's natural, cultural, significant history, it would be really tragic if, because of a sweeping assertion that these are a hoax, that the entire thing is not taken seriously. I'm not so sure I can dismiss it out of hand just because of this latest debunk, but I'm very, very happy to let independent, rigorous science do the do the guesswork and do the analysis." ~ (Will Brown (@incredhistory) responded to Coulthart's take via a reply to Meagan Medick's post.) Will Brown: "Curious why you all didn’t give the same reaction to Jesse Michel's (Jesse Michels) bold proclamations in a video that received 200x the views mine did on YouTube? "Similar question for Jay Anderson’s (Jay Anderson) 'scientific proof' video which has 10X the views? "Perhaps it’s because those videos don’t throw a wrench in whatever it is you are working on? "…any and all documentaries and books moving forward should include Steve Mera's testimony about what’s actually going on in Palpa." ~ Will Brown: "Hey Ross Coulthart, I’m hoping you’ll correct yourself here. In this video you stated we only looked at scans for one of the 'beings.' That is false. The video covers Maria and Monseratt. The Podcast with Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell and George Knapp adds Paloma in addition to Maria and Monseratt... All of which have multiple signs of manipulation on hands and feet. "You told me you watched my video…you even said you thought it was excellent and that it brought up legitimate concerns. "Did you actually watch the video? "Your statements today make me believe that you didn’t watch at all." ~ (And here's Dr. Daniel Proctor's (Galaxopithecus) response to Coulthart, and others, who are holding out hope for new DNA analysis.) Proctor: "I want to respond to Ross Coulthart’s recent caution that we should be careful calling the Nazca mummies a 'hoax' because they might represent cultural heritage, and to his claim that DNA should be more definitive than anatomy. "Respectfully, this framing gets the issue backwards. "First, there is nothing new here. 'Maria' was introduced nearly a decade ago. She did not appear last year, or this year, or as some sudden scientific revelation. She has been circulating since roughly 2015–2016, and in that entire span she has never been properly documented in reputable osteological, archaeological, or forensic journals. There is no provenience, as they allegedly come from a cave from an undisclosed location. No controlled excavation, no chain of custody, no standard reports of any nature, and anonymous discoverer. "What we are actually seeing is a slow drip of bodies, which are always sensational, always just beyond proper access, always promoted as revolutionary, and always somehow unable to withstand normal scientific scrutiny. That pattern is not accidental. "Second, anatomy is not secondary evidence. "The idea that DNA should be privileged over gross anatomy in evaluating human remains is baffling. Anatomy is primary data. Bones do not lie about how they articulate. Hand bones do not mysteriously relocate into feet. Developmental biology places hard constraints on what a viable organism can look like. "DNA can tell you what tissue something came from, within the strict parameters for which the tests have been designed. No mainstream lab has tests for some hypothetical 'alien' DNA. "Anatomy tells you whether the body ever existed as a coherent organism. In this case, the anatomy alone demonstrates fabrication. That is not speculative. It is observable. "Third, the cultural-heritage argument is deeply ironic. "The Nazca mummy trade, because that is what this is, destroys real cultural heritage. Looting graves, ghoulishly disarticulating bodies, recombining bones, and fabricating specimens for sale and spectacle is the opposite of preservation. Calling attention to that destruction is not disrespectful, on the contrary, it is necessary. "We have seen this playbook before. The commercialization of mummies, the alienization of cranial modification, and the recycling of colonial myths about 'non-human' ancient peoples. 'None of this is new. 'What is new is the social-media amplification. "Which brings me to Ross’s discomfort with debunking (or defending) these claims on social media rather than in scientific venues. "Here’s the problem: this hoax does not live in scientific venues. "It never has. "It lives on YouTube, on X, on press conferences, in podcasts, and in staged congressional spectacles. It is an argument of persuasion, not evidence. Expecting rebuttals to remain confined to journals, while misinformation spreads freely online, is neither realism nor appropriate. If something is promoted in public, it must be corrected in public. "Finally, caution cuts both ways. Being 'diplomatic' toward a hoax that incentivizes grave robbery, fuels pseudoscience, and misrepresents Indigenous pasts does not protect heritage. It only enables its continued destruction."

"Expecting rebuttals to remain confined to journals, while misinformation spreads freely online, is neither realism nor appropriate. If something is promoted in public, it must be corrected in public." ~Proctor's Response to Coulthart (Why am I spending more time on this? American Alchemy's video on the mummies has 904,000 views. @incredhistory's video has 5,500 views. The original, sensationalistic claims always do MUCH better than any evidence that is presented later that throws cold water on said claims. That's always been an issue. That could change if Jesse makes a short video on his YT channel right now, linked to the @incredhistory video, and implores his viewers to watch it with an open mind. And/or if he pins a tweet linking his X followers to the "Incredible History" analysis.) "At one point in time, I was truly wondering if these [mummies] were a new species." ~Accused Debunker, Will Brown 🙂 "It's just too early, yet, for me to make any kind of definitive statement about what I think about these objects." ~Ross Coulthart (After watching the new video by "Incredible History" and the interview done on "Weaponized," it's not too early for me (and MANY other people) to say I believe they're fake. Others felt they were fake right from the start but I wanted to wait for more evidence. We have that now. From yesterday's "Reality Check" with Coulthart and Meagan Medick.) Coulthart: "I think (the new @incredhistory video) is important. It raises... I've actually been in touch with the gentleman who made it, Will (Brown), and I'm hoping to some stage, talk to him. And I'd like to include what he says in any analysis that we do on NewsNation about the tridactals." (Who are the experts featured in the new "Incredible History" video segments that I clipped below? Dr. Daniel Proctor (Galaxopithecus), "has a PhD in bio-anthropology. Specifically, his area of focus is the hands and the feet. He has published papers on the evolution of the hands and the feet, including focusing of the ability to grasp." Dr. Joseph A.P. Wilson (Joseph A P Wilson), "earned his doctorate in anthropology from the University of Florida. he's current lecturer in archeology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and part time lecturer in anthropology at Fairfield University. And more importantly., before academia, he worked as a molecular genetic technologist at Greenwood Genetic Center in South Carolina." Michele - Mrs Anthrope (Radiographer) - Mrs. Anthrope The descriptions of their credentials is from the "Incredible History" video which I clipped a few segments from and included below.) ~More from Reality Check~ Coulthart: "We've filmed in Peru, and we've spoken directly with the doctors there. As I said in social media commentary that was posted before I left Peru, it's just too early, yet, for me to make any kind of definitive statement about what I think about these objects. I'm very careful not to even say, beings." (Again, after the seeing the "Incredible History" video, it shouldn't be too early to offer up a new opinion.) Coulthart: "I certainly got the impression from the CT tomography scans that they seemed like intact beings of some kind. But frankly, I'm not an anatomist. I'm not an anthropologist or anyone with any kind of experience in a scientific analysis of these beings. And I think we'll have to go with what good science says. And all the way through in this, what the scientists in Peru have told me, and what the scientists in America and indeed in Mexico have told me, is they want independent review. They want independent assessment. "And I guess what I'm a little worried about is the partisan way, the way that on UFO, UAP, Twitter, social media, people take their positions and adopt in a definitive position once and for all. This is a hoax, or this is real. Frankly, I just don't think we know enough right now. I don't think you can base a final conclusion on an analysis of a couple of bones in one alleged being's scans.

In 2018, Julius Malema warned that if things continue as they are, an unled revolution is likely to occur. However, as I’ve been saying for a while, the whole idea behind the 1994 project is precisely to keep things exactly as they are, to manage stagnation. In other words, for things to “go the way they are”. The State’s primary role since 1994 has been to act as a buffer by creating a small, visible Black middle class and elite, which Malema professes to be a member of, which creates the illusion of upward mobility while the majority of the population remains in structural poverty. Malema warns that his lifestyle will make him a target of the poor, but his supporters often see that same lifestyle as a prototype for their own liberation. This tension creates a complex relationship between the leader and the “unled revolution” he fears. He worries about the moment the marginalised poor realise that the revolutionary leader is wearing Breitling watches and drinking expensive champagne while they are still in the shack. In that moment, the leader is no longer a liberator but a buffer for the system. But I posit that Malema has nothing to worry about. The people look up to him, they admire him, and they gain inspiration from him. To that end, they want the system to remain as is, “stable”, so they too one day can join him. If the “unled revolution” he’s worried about actually happens, the very prize the people are chasing, the “township-to-town” dream, disappears. The masses are very much satisfied with their own performative revolution, one that talks about radical change but keeps the stores stocked so that they can eventually participate in the consumerist dream. This is the paradox of extreme inequality, where opulence is all around, yet always a bit too far to attain today. Therefore, the system stays stable because millions of people believe they are just one break away from reaping the rewards, like the Malemas and the middle class. Even if statistically, they will never be rewarded themselves. It’s crucial to clarify that the danger Malema is highlighting occurs when this hope turns into envy. However, here’s the thing: the Black masses are too shy to be jealous. Instead of being envious, they continue to believe they can join the middle class in the suburbs. This hope protects the system. This is not to say the people are timid or cowardly. On the contrary, they are galvanised to aspire for more within this system. They see Malema’s Breitling watch or Hyde Park mansion as a preview of their own future, instead of as betrayal, as he predicts they will. The only way the revolution Malema warns about occurs is if the stagnation becomes so permanent that the people see that the ladder is clearly broken. But this is where the country’s Establishment is doing a stellar job. The State uses a sophisticated combination of immediate relief to prevent hunger-driven riots, paired with symbolic future promises to maintain hope and political loyalty. The R370 SRD grant is the most explicit tool for preventing the “unled revolution.” By providing even a minimal amount of cash to able-bodied unemployed adults, the State provides a basic survival floor, keeping the most volatile demographic, unemployed youth, “waiting” rather than “acting.” This is a riot-prevention subsidy. Now, while the R370 grant manages the present, promises like the National Health Insurance, nationalising the Reserve Bank, and Expropriation Without Compensation manage the future. By keeping these radical ideas “in the pipeline,” the Establishment channels radical energy into parliamentary committees and court cases rather than street protests. Furthermore, these manoeuvres prevent Malema and the EFF from having a monopoly on the “radical” brand of politics. Because if the ANC is “threatening” to take the land, which it has been doing for years now, the masses are told they don’t need to join an anarchic revolution to get it; they just need to keep voting for the party that is “processing” the claim. This “management” creates a society that is always on the brink without boiling over, and the masses protect the very system that blocks their liberation because it keeps alive the fantasy that liberation will be individual, not collective. So what’s the solution? Ironically, the very thing Malema warned about in 2018, an unled revolution, is what would be needed to break the cycle of stagnation, precisely because it would have no leader invested in the current system’s symbols of success.
