Purge Palantir: The Campaign Against Peter Thiel's Spy Firm And how I got permanently banned from X

Mr Thomas has also been criticised for attending a meeting of the Irish Republican Brotherhood — a fringe group that claims to operate alternative local councils and does not accept the legitimacy of the State. “I got a call from community activists. They asked me if I would meet them in relation to a nursing home potentially being turned into an Ipas centre,” he explains. “I went to that meeting; the IRB were there. “I knew nothing about the IRB. I was accused of being a member — and that was absolute rubbish.” Asked if he believed there was a place for such groups, he said: “At the moment, I wouldn’t say there is, no. Look, we live in a democracy.”

Noel Thomas is lying through his teeth here, but the Sindo also have their facts wrong. he attended two meetings of the IRB's fake council in Oughterard, not one, and there is no ambiguity about what kind of meetings they were because they posted the minutes online

Storing encrypted or disappearing chats (potentially forever) violates community expectations of privacy & puts all your contacts at greater risk of surveillance. Is Signal still safe?

It's a pretty complicated money laundering operation involving lots of property transactions, and Russians selling cheap oil to the Hungarian state oil company (MOL) which had 10% of their shares transferred to the MCC, which funded the foreigners. That list will take time

And if not, any Hungarians among my mutuals who would be interested in crafting some FOI requests?

Is Hungary publishing lists of payments from Orbán to foreign shills and grifters?
If so, where might I access those lists to see if they contain any familiar names?

In contrast, here's a list of folks to be embarrassed by.
