Bellingcat researcher @conplnk.bsky.social spoke to the Newstalk Daily team about our research into the Kinahan cartel and the impact the arrest of Daniel Kinahan may have: www.newstalk.com/podcasts/new...
Look, it's not like disease outbreaks among soldiers have had repeated and significant impacts on the course of world events and the timeline of history over the past few thousand years
The boy did not answer questions on his motivation and the video posted on Telegram by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya - the circumstances remain under investigation by the police
He will be sentenced in June. The 19-year-old man arrested over the same incident also remains under investigation
A 17-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to Saturday night's arson attack on Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow, where he threw a petrol bomb through a window
He told the police he has "no hate towards the Jewish
people", did not know the building was a synagogue and had no intention of hurting anyone
The newsworthy component here may be the apparent graft and sycophancy. But it’s shocking every day anew how much of a narcissist and how childlike the president is. The whole post is about how smart he is and how great it is to flatter him.
Same guy is trying to negotiate himself out of a war!

KERNEN: You're saying you need at least the prospect for a signed deal today or tomorrow or else you would resume bombing Iran?
TRUMP: Well, I expect to be bombing. The military is raring to go.
"I'm doing a ballroom now" -- Trump is now ranting about his ballroom on CNBC
Kernen asks Trump if he'd drop the investigation of Powell in order to get Kevin Warsh seated on the Fed. Trump responds by ranting and raving about the Fed building renovation project and suggests Powell is taking a cut of proceeds.

Allegation that Morgan McSweeney phoned previous FCDO Perm Sec Sir Phillip Barton, and told him "just fucking approve it" re: Mandelson's vetting ..!
Graphic with the title 'EU extends sanctions in view of the situation in Moldova', showing euro banknotes, a judge’s gavel and two identity cards.
The EU has renewed sanctions against those responsible for destabilising, undermining or threatening activities in #Moldova and its democratic institutions.
🇪🇺🇲🇩 The EU remains unwavering in its support for Moldova, including its resilience.

The idea that being *a member of the House of Lords* in any way means you can be trusted with Top Secret/STRAP material without proper vetting is so beyond absurd that this must surely be a joke?
The most basic fundamentals of cognitive processing.
Humans observe events, narrate stories to explain them, and assign emotions to those stories.
This helps illustrate how influencers can emotionally manipulate outcomes with biased or false narratives around events.
"Sir Keir Starmer will be accused today of pressuring the Foreign Office into approving the appointment of Lord Mandelson despite being aware of his friendship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his business links to Russia and China."
"The Times has been told that Robbins will use an appearance before the foreign affairs select committee today to reveal that he did not see the formal recommendation by UK Security Vetting (UKSV), the body that vets public appointments, stating that Mandelson should not be given clearance."
"Robbins is expected to highlight the “prevailing atmosphere” at the time of the appointment, including the fact that Starmer chose to press ahead with announcing Mandelson as ambassador to the United States before security vetting had been conducted."
"Robbins will also highlight the fact that Starmer had decided to press ahead with the appointment despite the opposition of Sir Philip Barton, his predecessor as permanent secretary at the Foreign Office."
"Starmer had also already been informed of Mandelson’s longstanding friendship with Epstein and potential conflicts of interest over his business dealings."

My Popular with Friends tab is 100% The Onion buys Infowars posts.
Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”
It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

The heroes we need.
This is particularly funny because InfoWars wrote about me this weekend
The more I think about the techno-fascist tech nerds the more I wonder if the Nazis were just a bunch of angry nerds.
Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing in the street outside as they were pursued and then destroyed by a nameless malevolent force, something neither I nor anyone else could control, a great darkness that was, somehow, all my fault. Today, that childhood dream is finally coming true. Today I can finally say the sweetest nine or 10 words in the English language: Global Tetrahedron has completed its plan to control InfoWars.com. I’ve had a lot of time to think about InfoWars in the last year and a half. As the seasons have changed, my ambitions for the project have grown grander, crueler, better aligned with market data. Come, friends, and imagine with me…
Imagine a roaring arena packed to the rafters with pathological liars. High above you in the nosebleeds are podcasters, screaming that you’ll die if you don’t buy their skincare products. Below, on the floor, imagine demonic battalions of super-influencers physically forcing people into home fitness devices designed to dismantle their bodies bone by bone and reassemble them into a grotesque statue of yourself. Out of the throngs, an extremely sick looking man approaches you. He puts his hands on your shoulders. He explains that he is your life coach and that you owe him $800. Such is the InfoWars I envision: An infinite virtual surface teeming with ads. Not just ads, but scams! Not just scams, but lies with no object, free radical misinformation, sentences and images so poorly thought out that they are unhealthy even to view for just a few seconds. The InfoWars of old was only the prototype for the hell I know we can build together: A digital platform where, every day, visitors sacrifice themselves at altars of delusion and misery, their minds fully disintegrating on contact.
With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America. All of this is to say that I believe in us. I believe that with the new InfoWars, we can alchemize the pioneering spirit of amateur inquiry, the profit-maximizing drive of corporations, and the cold mental clarity that comes only with disciplined daily ingestion of mind- and body-altering chemicals. If we can do that, what other great things can we do together?
I don’t yet know, but I’m excited to find out. Welcome home, warriors. The future belongs to us. We’re writing the story now. It’s going to be a long one, and it’s going to be a bad one. So settle in. Make yourself comfortable. Buy a tote bag. Nothing can stop us now that we’re in charge of a website. Infinite Growth Forever, Bryce Tetraeder, CEO, Global Tetrahedron
