    By: Larry Donnell Brown

    At just 24 years old, Maya Agasi has proven to be an unstoppable force in the dance world. Born and raised in Israel, Maya has quickly climbed to the top of the international dance scene, captivating audiences around the world with her passion and artistry.

    From a young age, Maya displayed exceptional talent that led her to participate and win a spot in the Israeli Hip Hop Championship in 2014 and 2015. Her success catapulted her onto the world stage, proudly representing her country at international championships. At just 16 years old, Maya was already sharing stages with some of Israel’s biggest artists, including Noa Kirel, Netta Brazili, Omer Adam, and the famous duo Static & Ben-El.

    However, Maya’s ambition took her beyond the borders of her native country. At 18, she made the brave decision to leave home to pursue her dream of impacting the dance world on a global level. Over the past five years, Maya has traveled the world, teaching dance and sharing her art in countries such as Peru, Chile, Spain, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Mexico, and Ukraine, to name just a few. Today, she is recognized as one of the best hip hop and heels instructors worldwide.

    Her talent led her to be part of German rapper Shirin David’s European tour, and most recently, she participated in the music video “Touching the Sky” by renowned artist Rauw Alejandro. These achievements are just a sample of her dedication and passion for dance.

    Now, Maya is preparing to take the next big step in her career. She is moving to the United States to become the principal dancer of the prestigious ‘Soul Project Dance Company’, one of the most important hip hop companies in New York, directed by the renowned choreographer Candace Brown. Her goal is to continue leaving an indelible mark on the international dance scene.

    Maya Agasi is undoubtedly a name to follow in the world of dance. Her extraordinary talent, combined with her dedication and adventurous spirit, makes her a unique artist who will continue to surprise the world with every step she takes.

  • Kamala Harris makes several about-faces on key policies as she maneuvers to face Trump | The Liberty Beacon


    Kamala Harris makes several about-faces on key policies as she maneuvers to face Trump

    All things to all people? Four key policies areas show how Harris — once named the most left-wing member of the Senate — is trying to “recalibrate” her policy positions for the general election, sometimes in ways that are contrary to her previously stated views.

    By Steven Richards

    In the weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, the California politician has shifted her policies—sometimes quietly, even under the radar —on key issues to distance herself from her liberal past.

    White House officials told Politico that these shifts are part of a strategy to undermine the argument that she is a leftist politician, a reputation they believe stems from the positions she took in the 2020 Democratic primary, but which they say do not truly represent Harris’ positions.

    “That primary was a distorting experience for a lot of people,” said one senior White House official, according to Politico.

    Yet, this strategy runs the risk of exposing the vice president to criticisms that she is only moderating her liberal stances to appeal to key swing state voters. In fact, her 2024 rival Donald Trump has already moved to paint her as the “number one most radical left Democrat in the entire Senate.”

    Indeed, critics including the Republican National Committee, have begun to label Harris as a flip-flopper. “It’s a classic bait-and-switch—but Kamala’s years of support for the farthest-left policies can’t be masked when she’s on the record repeatedly defending them,” the RNC said in a press release reviewed by Just the News.

    The Kamala Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News.

    Here are four key policies that defined Harris as a radical leftist upon which she has changed her position as she seeks to look more moderate for the general election:

    Once in favor of banning fracking: Now, not so much

    During the height of the 2020 primary campaign, Harris proudly stated at a CNN town hall focused on the “climate crisis” that she was in favor of banning fracking—a method of extracting natural gas from the ground.

    “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” she said at the town hall. “And starting with what we can do on Day One around public lands, right?”

    “And then there has to be legislation, but, yes, and this is something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue and to your point, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities,” she added.

    Now, as Harris is competing to win over key swing state voters, her campaign confirmed to The Hill that she no longer supported a ban on the practice. One important swing state, Pennsylvania, is the second largest producer of natural gas.

    After her rise to the nomination, Trump began criticizing Harris for her past position, but her campaign, in what has become a pattern of rewriting history, called these claims false.

    “Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class,” a campaign spokesperson told The Hill.

    Demanded defunding the police

    In a June 2020 interview, at the height of the George Floyd protest movement, Harris unequivocally claimed she supported reimagining public safety as protestors called for defunding the police.

    “Defund the police, the issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety,” Harris said in the June 2020 radio interview, according to the Associated Press. “And when you have many cities that have one third of their entire city budget focused on policing, we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety.”

    “For too long, the status quo thinking has been, you get more safety by putting more cops on the street,” Harris said. “Well, that’s wrong, because by the way, if you wanna look at upper middle class suburban neighborhoods, they don’t have that patrol car.”

    Now, as the 2024 campaign ramps up and crime is polled as an important issue for most Americans, Harris has sought to rewrite the public’s perception and emphasis her own past a prosecutor while her campaign officials push back on the contention that she supports defunding law enforcement.

    “Her position has always been that you can both be tough and smart on crime, and it requires funding police, but it also requires funding rehabilitation and things that might criminal justice system safer,” Mitch Landrieu, co-chair of the Harris campaign told CNN’s Pamela Brown. “You can do both.”

    Eliminating private insurance: “That’s not what I meant.”

    Before she ran for president the first time in 2020, then-Senator Kamala Harris co-sponsored liberal Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ Medicare-for-All bill that would have seen the elimination of private insurance in favor of a government-run system.

    Harris was the first Democratic Senator to sign on to the bill with Sanders, telling voters at a town hall in California that she intended to sponsor the bill because “it’s just the right thing to do.”

    When she ran for president in the 2020 primary, Harris reiterated her support for a Medicare-for-All system.

    “I believe the solution—and I actually feel very strongly about this—is that we need to have Medicare for all. That’s just the bottom line…it is inhumane to make people go through a system where they cannot literally receive the benefit of what medical science can offer because some insurance company has decided it doesn’t meet their bottom line,” she said at a CNN town hall in Iowa.

    Harris later reversed herself on the hardline position during the primary campaign, claiming that she was open to other policies and eventually explained in another interview with tapper that “that’s not what I meant” when it came to her position on eliminating private insurance.

    So far, though, Vice President Harris has not outlined her official 2024 position on a “Medicare-for-All” system, but there are signs that she may be moderating her views on this policy as well. The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News about her healthcare positions.

    Evidence of a shift come from Harris’ support of President Biden’s efforts to expand participation in the Affordable Care Act. A record number signed up for 2024 coverage under the law, which indeed facilitates coverage from the private insurance market.

    Decriminalizing illegal immigration

    During the 2020 campaign, Vice President Harris’ immigration positions were among the most liberal in her party. For example, during 2019 Democratic primary debate in Miami, Harris raised her hand in affirmation when the moderators asked the candidates if they would be in favor of decriminalizing border crossings.

    She also expressed support for providing illegal immigrants with taxpayer-funded healthcare under her plan.

    As part of the administration, Harris has worked alongside President Biden, who on his very first day in office reversed many of Trump’s immigration-related executive orders. Next, he assigned Harris to handle addressing the root causes of immigration, which earned her the label “border czar” from the media.

    Suddenly, Harris and a compliant media are denying she was ever given a leadership role in the border crisis.

    However, after years of pressure on the border, Biden recently implemented new executive orders which angered the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party. This order included restrictions on asylum claims and were intended to reduce border crossings.

    In a shift from the liberal end of the spectrum, Harris’ presidential campaign has confirmed that the vice president will seek to maintain Biden’s immigration policies and signaling that she supports a secure border.

    “I think at this point … the policies that are … having a real impact on ensuring that we have security and order at our border are policies that will continue,” her campaign manager told CBS News.

    Harris has yet to face any interviews that question her shifting positions, and has not held an unscripted press conference where she might be asked about her series of U-turns.

    Show Preface by Host: Roger Landry (TLB)

    Hello again and welcome to Episode #127 of the TLBTalk Radio show on the Republic Broadcasting Network (RBN) (see RBN Fund Raiser below Archived Show). Today’s show is titled AI & Censorship … OUCH! – Let’s wind our way through the chaos and tyranny … But first let’s get through this intro routine …

    Before we jump into today’s topics I would like to once again, say thanks to RBN for the platform, to the shows producer Sam, and to Annie at the ShakeAndWake Radio forum for this show replays on Thursdays, and for also hosting my newest show (with Co-Host Stephen Roberts) Eagle’s Eye Report on Wednesdays from 2-3 PM Central. They are all a very significant part of the weekly success of The Liberty Beacon Project’s Message …

    Again I will state that the message I bring to you today is not entertainment, nor is it baseless guesses, or remote possibilities. Most of what I deliver is in your face reality, recorded facts or an inevitability depending on our course of action.

    TLBTalk Radio: AI & Censorship … OUCH!

    Show intro comments & talking points:

    Lets open this with something is constantly in our faces today … We all know that censorship is rampant in just about any form of online media (written, video, or aural), and yes even on Mainstream Media (it’s what you don’t hear). We all know that because it is in our faces on an ever increasing scale!

    With the introduction of Artificial Intelligence into the censorship arena we have finally arrived in a world of damn near total censorship. A place where even your private thoughts can be molded, and in most cases unbeknownst to you …

    This is where entire societies are shaped or nudged in any direction desired/required via this mechanism for the gains of who? The global elite or deep state? Anyone but you and me. If you don’t believe this is happening, or push back on its dangers, it’s only because you are unaware of the the actual massive level of ‘behind the scenes influencing’, not because it isn’t happening. Large Social Media censoring is an absolute, and highlights the need for TLBTalk.com.

    Add to this the techno abilities of AI (speed, everywhere at once, invisible, etc…), which are mind blowing when compared to human actions, and a heck of a lot cheaper in the long-run.

    Again … Much of what you see and hear through smart phones, tablets and computers, over basically the internet, and especially social media, can be, and is, carefully crafted to accomplish preset or predetermined goals. And today AI makes this much easier, faster, and more thorough … but HOW?

    Ed Thomson Says: AI machine learning can control narratives online in real time by dialing viral messages up or down. AI algorithms can scan and ban tens of millions of keywords in posts, shutting down or boosting narratives. AI tools can, and thus are, shaping thought and action as you listen or read daily …

    Lets dig into a bit more by Ed as well as some historical perspective …

    So lets Segway into this show …

  • Dozy Mmobuosi’s Thriving Business Conglomerate – The US Times

    Every entrepreneur aspires to establish a thriving and lucrative business, but this journey is fraught with challenges. It begins with the spark of an idea, fueled by passion and the availability of capital. Some entrepreneurs, like Dozy Mmobuosi, embark on this path with limited resources, relying solely on their vision and determination.

    Dozy Mmobuosi, the visionary founder and CEO of Tingo Group, has built an extraordinary business conglomerate that generates substantial revenue. Under his astute leadership, Tingo Group oversees a range of successful subsidiaries, including Tingo Mobile, Tingo Foods, and Nwassa. Moreover, he is currently engaged in the pursuit of acquiring Sheffield United Football Club in England.

    Similar to many entrepreneurs, Dozy has encountered setbacks and failures along his entrepreneurial journey. However, these adversities have served as catalysts, igniting his drive to work harder and persevere in the pursuit of success.

    During the early stages, Dozy faced daunting circumstances that tempted him to abandon his endeavors. He invested capital without immediately reaping tangible returns. Nevertheless, he made a resolute decision to persist until he achieved profitability.

    According to Dozy, relinquishing one’s aspirations is never an option for a determined business owner. When confronted with obstacles, it is crucial to seek solutions and explore alternative paths to overcome challenges. He firmly believes that if he had succumbed to adversity, he would not have attained the remarkable success he enjoys today.

    “Dozy advises aspiring entrepreneurs to acquire comprehensive knowledge about their chosen industry before embarking on any business operations. By immersing oneself in relevant literature and seeking guidance from seasoned professionals, one can avoid costly rookie mistakes,” cautions Mason.

    Armed with a distinguished Advanced Management and Leadership Programme from Said Business School, University of Oxford, and a master’s degree in Economics from Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma, Edo, Dozy leveraged his expertise gained from his previous role as a financial analyst. Drawing upon his profound knowledge and exceptional marketing prowess, he successfully established multiple enterprises that have achieved unparalleled triumph.

    Embarking on the journey of nurturing and managing a single business until it flourishes is undeniably arduous. However, undertaking the uphill task of launching and running four multimillion-dollar enterprises exemplifies the remarkable feat that Dozy Mmobuosi has accomplished with unwavering determination and exceptional skill.

  • UK PM Keir Starmer Uses Riots To Call For Mass Surveillance and Social Media Censorship | The Liberty Beacon


    ER Editor:  A reminder that the alleged stabbing of three young girls by Welsh-born, 17 year old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana of Rwandan family origin has drawn heated protests in several UK cities. Which elements of the media and political class have been deliberately smearing as ‘far right’. People are not buying this slur anymore and can see through the political tactics, including the problems brought on by mass migration.

    Below we have Keir Starmer’s predictable, tone deaf response, calling for more censorship and surveillance. It’s all too predictable. 

    ***

    Here are some interesting takes on this —

    UK Prime Minister Calls For Crackdown On Angry Brits – Violent Migrants Get A Pass

    Beyond the obvious Cloward-Piven agenda in play throughout most of Europe and the US, open border policies accomplish much more than simply erasing western culture with third-world migrants.  The introduction of violent peoples from violent countries and ideologies is a perfect way to generate public hostility, getting them to react in anger.  When a government refuses to represent the interests of actual citizens that are under attack by foreign elements, the only avenue left to that populace is self defense.

    Establishment elites understand very well that their malicious activities are going to generate a vengeful response.  Their first measure is to shame the public with accusations of “extremism” when the public fights back.  When that doesn’t work, the next measure is to use popular riots as an excuse to impose authoritarian controls “in the name of safety.”

    In other words, government officials invite brutal people into the society, let those people run amok while refusing to protect the public, then those same officials punish the public for protecting themselves after leaving them no other choice.

    If protesting warrants ‘full force of the law’ then surely child killers deserve the DEATH PENALTY?

    And do you know, I have not seen anyone ask this question of Starmer: “What promises can you make to fearful mothers across the UK worried about taking their children out in public, especially given it is the school holidays? What are you doing to protect them?”

    One can only deduce that Starmer – and the British Press – could not care a hoot whether more kids are slain. They certainly do not appear to care that those three innocent girls were butchered – unless you count Downing Street’s insulting attempt at a tribute by putting the building in pink lights.

    So my question is this: If Starmer is only focused on showing protestors “the full force of the law”, surely an equal punishment to fit the crime would be for child killers – such as Axel Rudakubana – to face the death penalty.

    ***

    The alleged shooter in the Trump assassination attempt, Thomas Crooks, had done a stint at acting, appearing in a BlackRock commercial. So has 17 year old Axel Rudakubana (see here). We believe those are clues. 

    We also believe that Starmer is playing his scripted part. Nobody governs like this; nobody is this stupid.

    This is the BBC’s latest report from this morning on the government’s response to this weekend’s unrest —

    The more things change, the more they remain the same, at least in the UK; after many years of Tory governments’ vigorous efforts to extend mass surveillance indiscriminately targeting citizens and enact stringent anti-free speech laws, the new Labour government seems to be picking up right where the previous one left off.

  • Exclusive Interview with Satori Shakoor – Welcome to the Change of Life! – The US Times

    Today we’d like to introduce you to Satori Shakoor.

    It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?

    I’ve always been attracted to the arts. That attraction led me to advance myself in music, theatre, comedy and storytelling. It became a passion for me as a child. I pursued my passion and it led to developing myself as a professional singer, actor, writer and comedienne. As time went on, I began to notice there were limitations in my environment as I grew and developed artistically. I became an entrepreneur; produced a television show in Honolulu, organized artists in Los Angeles so as to support each others work, a founding member of a theatre company in Toronto and the founder of a live storytelling event in community in Detroit. And, now I’m making a film of my live solo, standup, storytelling concert, “Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale.”

    Women between the ages of 44-65 are the largest demographic in the United States. The majority of us are in some stage of menopause. We are hungry for information, stories and knowledge around this life changing and life affirming transition. I wanted to create something that would encourage and inspire women to bust the taboo, eliminate the stigma and get us talking and sharing about this powerful rite of passage rather than it be a sweaty, mood-swinging walk of shame. The script has been in development for 5 years.

    It uses storytelling, comedy and music to tell the story of a 12 year journey through the change of life. It’s hilarious, heartbreaking and triumphant. And, will get women talking.

    I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?

    As an artist there are things that I see that don’t exist yet. To bring them into existence, I’ve had to prove to myself first I could do it. Then I did the work of getting it done. I like that line in the movie, “Build it and they will come.” However, building takes money one doesn’t have yet, support one has to find and discovering infinite ways of inspiring and energizing yourself to keep going when it looks the bleakest. If I’m not challenged by a creative idea, it’s not big enough. If it doesn’t scare me, it’s not worth it for me to engage in.

    Often bringing an idea into existence is a long haul. One needs to have a possibility, a vision that is bigger than themselves, so that it calls you to grow and become a producer who makes it happen. The possibility, the vision has to be something I wake up in the morning and it calls me to be about it.

    I’m excited to tell this story of my journey in Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale. It is a success story. I’m excited to write a script that uses all of my talent, instincts, experience and development to perform. I’m overwhelmed with joy by it. If I can contribute in any way with this film to the social and cultural landscape of powerful women who are navigating through this stage of life, I will have been successful in this endeavor.

    satori shakerLet’s talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?

    I’m a writer, a storyteller and a social entrepreneur. The work I do as a social entrepreneur is to provide vehicles/platforms that not only facilitate my self-expression, but also the self-expression of others. I specialize in leadership, integrity and a “see it through to the end,” attitude. I love what I do as a teacher, facilitator and designer of storytelling workshops. I love being a performer who can uplift a production with my experience and talent. I love telling stories and being part of panels that challenge my commitment to my craft and art form.

    Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale is in a way is my dissertation. The culmination of my lived experience as an artist, writer, and human being. I want everyone to see it, enjoy it, talk about it and be inspired to tell their own stories; that I hold as little packages of wisdom when shared with others. I don’t think of myself as being in competition with others to get work. What I do, how I listen and work with people is intuitive, organic, unique and effective. People refer me to others when they have had great results.

    Right now, I’m all about this film, Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale, directed by filmmaker, Jonathan Jewell-Chatten, produced by Rola Nashef, written and performed by me. It uses storytelling, comedy, music and song to tell a true and personal story of my journey through menopause and the courage it took to face my life.

    What’s your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?

    I don’t think success is something one finds. I believe success is something that one achieves out of the effort they put into what they envision for themselves and others. My advice is to be your word (integrity). Follow up. Follow through. Love “Yes” and Love “No.” I believe that in the end, everything is a “Yes” even when it occurs as “No.”

    My advice is to find inspiration and encouragement from the tiniest of things to keep going when you want to give up (and you will want to). Stoke your passion on-goingly. Love people. Acknowledge others for their contributions to you and others.

    And my best advice is be grateful for it all. Say thank you in advance. If all of the advice I offer is acted upon, it will bring forth your vision.Thank you in advance is an acknowledgment of the trust one has in themselves and others to bring your idea and vision into existence.

    Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

    Success is to create something and produce a result that will others as well as myself. It’s a great surprise and the reward I receive when someone shares that some aspect of their life changed or they discovered something new about themselves or they were reaffirmed or made a difference through something I created. Success means growth and transformation.

    What’s next for you?

    I’m making a film, Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale. It’s a solo, standup storytelling concert that I will perform live at Detroit Public Theatre July 21, 22, 23. The live performance will be filmed and distributed to streaming audiences.

    The goal is to entertain and to open up the conversation around menopause. To eliminate the stigma, bust the myth and taboo and have menopause be a celebration of the powerful rite of passage it is. A passage women are proud of because of the wisdom, experience and ageless beauty we’ve gained over time. It’s reaching out and back to younger women to connect, prepare and provide them with a continuum and legacy of self-knowing and knowledge.

    Every day, 6,000 women enter menopause and they don’t know a damn thing about this stage of life. As an attend small gatherings of women who want to learn about menopause, I’m learning that it is a hot topic of interest. I hear stories of women being mis-diagnosed, overlooked, ignored and misguided.

    There are very few stories and/or entertainment products on the market that represent, uplift and shed light on menopause for this dominating demographic.

    Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale is my small/big contribution to that gaping vacuum. I’m coming out!

    Finally, how can people connect with you if they want to learn more?

    Please visit my website: www.satorishakoor.com/confessions to learn about me, the live show and the filming of it. We will be working on a crowd funding campaign in the near future to raise more funds for post-production, marketing and promotion, entry fees and travel to film festivals. Stay posted for the film debut sometime next year.

  • Merchants of Chaos at work: how we are being used by Labour and other criminals | The Liberty Beacon


    Intro by Watchdog

    I love it when someone throws some light of understanding upon hitherto cloudy and bewildering issues.

    The following article does just that, bringing some understanding to current events that have us all vexed and dismayed.

    Before I go further into this, I want to clarify one thing: I am neither a Jew nor a Muslim. I have Muslim and Jewish friends and they are good people, with whom I get along just fine and who get along with one another just fine as well.

    I have a lot of sympathy for the violence and suffering to which both peoples have been subjected, from the slaughter of Jews by the Nazis to the carpet bombing of Baghdad by the West to the slaughter of Palestinians by the Zionist regime in Tel Aviv and various other mass killings inflicted by the invaders of the Muslim countries of the Middle East.

    And there is of course the violence that rabid elements of both communities have visited upon one another over  the years.

    The ongoing tiresome conflicts of Muslim vs Jew vs Christian vs Hindu vs Sikh vs Atheist and so forth, in which otherwise rational people become the victims of mind games that result in erstwhile friends and neighbours slaughtering one another, are of course a phenomenon now thoroughly explained by the discovery of the natural law known as the Third Party Law – which is explained here. Its sincere and honest application presents us with a tool with which to resolve conflicts.

    There are of course those who do not want this or that conflict resolved as they profit or benefit from its continuance and they will do everything they can think of to sabotage such efforts. I refer to them as the Merchants of Chaos.

    Be that as it may, in my own life I grew up when the Muslim world was very much under the yoke of the British empire, then later the American Empire. And outside the Middle East, the Muslim country of Afghanistan was variously attacked, invaded and subjugated by the British, Russians, Americans and so forth.

    This is not to say that the Muslim world has not itself also produced its far share of psychopathic maniacs to blight the existence of decent people the same as the Christian world, but overall it is the Christian maniacs who have thus far prevailed to a point where their allies/proxies, the Zionists, are slaughtering the people of Palestine whilst the US and UK  are currently bombing (yet again) several Muslim countries and evidently chomping at the bit to blow up thousands more Muslims if they can dupe their own citizenry into supporting it, financing it and donating their sons and daughters to the war effort.

    It mystified me for quite some time what this “Muslim threat” advertised in our media and by our politicians was all about and how we could be so threatened by people whose countries we have been bombing and/or occupying and/or messing up for as long as I can remember.

    I can appreciate that we might be frightened by lurid stories of illegal  immigrants arriving here in dinghies but if that scares us (which is what such scenarios are intended to do) I cannot imagine how scary it would be if these immigrants had arrived here in warships and tanks and planes all bristling with missiles and backed by entire industries devoted to manufacturing weapons of death and aggressively chucking their weight about and/or shooting anything that moves, blowing the limbs off our children and so forth, which is more or less what the residents of many Muslim countries have had to face.

    And it occurred to me to that many of the illegals, desperate enough to risk the terrifying ordeal of crossing the ocean in a crowded dinghy (we may never know the numbers who drowned) come from countries we are have been or still are blowing up and otherwise rendering chaotic and unliveable, so perhaps if we are really concerned about the influx of refugees we could help ourselves by telling our government and its proxies stop creating them.

    After all, the current genocide in Gaza is going to drive thousands of Palestinians to desperate measures in the search for a safe and tolerable life free from agony and terror and we’ll be moaning about “all  these Palestinian immigrants”. Why can they not stay in their own country even though it has just ben wiped off the ruddy map by the Zionist brand of psychopathic maniac?

    Of course, the Zionists do not have a monopoly on psychopathic maniacs. Essentially, we live in a world run by gangs of psychopaths known as “governments” whose stock-in-trade is death and  these gangs fight one another. As they fight, millions of people who would rather skip the whole thing and live decent lives get caught up in it rather like bystanders getting caught up in a gangland shot-out that wrecks their neighbourhood.

    So how did we get hoodwinked into fearing the very people we’ve been invading and subjugating for the last few hundred years?

    The recent events in Palestine threw things into better light when it became evident that much of our media and political establishment is Zionist-controlled, whether through blackmail, financial leverage or actual allegiances. With Zionist eyes on  carving out a realm in the Middle East, and an ongoing atrocity happening before our eyes, it is necessary for them to pull the stunt commonly used by aspiring conquerors: the dehumanisation and vilification of the intended victims. If you can make the victims seems somehow less human, less worthy of decent treatment or even deserving of whatever violence you are dishing out, you can make your crimes seems less criminal, less abhorrent to to the citizenry of your home nation whose support and sacrifice you are going to need if you are to have your way.

    It seems to me that this is what has been happening through the Zionist- controlled media and political establishment, the dehumanisation and vilification of the target peoples,  much as the Jews were once targeted, dehumanised and vilified by the Nazis.

    This is not to say that the Muslim world does not produce  its own psychopaths and subversive nutjobs: all counitries have them. It just so happens that at this point in history the Western nutjobs and their Zionist chums (or masters?) have done a brilliant job of  duping, propagandising and manipulating Western populations so as to feed parasitically upon their resources and enterprise.

    And we wind up with the propaganda coup whereby Brits are kept so fixated on worrying about being “taken over” by Muslims, they don’t notice their country is already to a considerable  degree taken over by the Zionists.

    The  following article gives in my view some insight into how that manipulation and psychological subjugation is being done, through the activities of Zionost-controlled front groups ad stooges and how this led to the disgusting spectacle of the murder of three little girls by a drugged-up nutter from a Christian family being used to whip up hysteria and in the good old divide-and-conquer  tradition.

    We (Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Atheists et al) rare being played by psychopaths and sociopaths into fighting eachother. Can we please stop letting them do that?

    Anyway, we predicted at Labour would waste no time using its majority of seats acquired via the actual vote of just one citizen in five) to  push through the globalist agenda in a hurry before its hollow popularity collapses. And that is just what Labour is doing, with the help of various front groups and agents provocateurs operating within our communities.

    [NOTE: The meaning of AGENT PROVOCATEUR is someone employed to associate with suspected persons and by pretending sympathy with their aims to incite them to some incriminating action.]

    And The False Flag Protests

    This will be an extremely intricate situation to navigate, so even if you don’t agree with a given point, bear with the article, because there’s a lot of hidden elements to unpack which may end up changing your mind on the wider context.

    Was this in response to a stabbing of 10 British children in Southport, three of which are dead? No. The mass stabbing had been done by Axel Rudakubana, a 17 year old, born in Cardiff (in Wales) to two Rwandan migrants, and it provoked zero retaliary response from the government.

    What the government was responding to were the protests and riots organised in response to the stabbing, where Keir ‘angrily blamed the far-right’. Now, it’s very easy to get sucked in here as it seems like we have clear cut good guys and bad guys in the classically wrong Hollywood trope, but there’s more to this whole story than first meets the eye.

    He even took liberty to address them directly and in-person to say he would not allow boycotts of Israeli goods:

    Why is this relevant?

    Stephen proudly wearing an IDF shirt
    Stephen proudly wearing a Mossad shirt.

    And before you say ‘maybe he just bought those shirts’, he’s him on an IDF tank at the Golan Heights…

    For those of you not familiar, the riots and protests (supposedly ‘against’ the Southport stabbing), were organised by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, a name so suspiciously middle-class (and not working class) he had to adopt a fake British sounding name in order to trick people.

    It’s not a hard thing to conclude regarding his involvement either: the rioters were explicitly chanting “Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson” (apparently his ego needs stroking even with a fake name?).

    Smarter folks might have noticed the fake name is basically comprised of the word ‘Tommy’ (from the nickname given to British troops during WW1) and ‘Robinsons’ (the famous British squash drink given to children). I.E. the most obviously generic British references possible. It’d be like if he called himself Royce Cadbury.

    Why the media keep referring to his fake name, we’ll never know — maybe it’ll spoil the illusion of ‘the far-right’ if they said ‘Riots Organised By Stephan Yaxley-Lennon’ or ‘Riots Organised By The IDF’?

    As evidenced, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is rabidly pro-Israel. Just like the UK government, and Keir Starmer. And it turns out these riots serve Israel’s objectives a lot better than they do the British public.

    Even the pro-Israel Times of Israel announced Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was receiving financing from pro-Israel groups back in 2019, expressing some confusion. The EDL have been supporting Israel from at least 2009. English Defence League? Seems more like Israel Defence League.

    Another curiousity is the stabbing occurred on July 29th, shortly after Stephen Yaxley-Lennon exited the UK, supposed in order to flee a court order (he hasn’t fled any other court orders prior to this point). In-fact, his departure was announced by Sky News on… July 29th, although they claim he had already left the country in June (again, using his fake name).

    Stepen Yaxley-Lennon had directed his Israeli goons to attack a mosque, supposedly in response to the Southport stabbing, even though the attacker was associated with Rwanda, a majority Christian country in Africa.

    Even if you were approaching this with an eye towards race, Rwandans are Africans, most Muslims are classically Arabic. It makes absolutely no sense whichever direction you spin this. His attacks only make sense through the lens of Israeli thinking, and not through British thinking.

    Essentially, this is an attempt to cause the British public to fight pro-Palestinians, essentially dividing a now Israel-critical British public (one type of Israeli enemy) into fighting supporters of Palestinians (another type of Israeli enemy), whilst allowing a pro-Israel government to expand their authoritarian powers.

    ‘We’re after a man; may be male, man-aged and looks like a man.’

    Remember when nearly every other stabbing crime was about “a man” with zero details? You know, ‘just in-case it made people racist and angry’. And how nearly every other protest (E.G. the anti-lockdown, anti-mandate and anti-vaccine protests) got practically zero coverage? These are typically censored via UK government “D-Notices”.

    Well, curiously, the media have played into the riots, not only with perpetual coverage, but by doing something they almost never do, which is not only to name the perpetrator, but to also immediately both reveal a descriptor and photographs of the stabber (the BBC even tossed in a court drawing).

    Oh, and the reported stabber just happens to also have ties to the UK government, via the BBC.

    It’s fairly obvious then we have plants for Israel — one is Keir Starmer, passing legislation to take away your freedoms, and the other is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who gives him the justification to do so by provoking the British public into attacking enemies of Israel.

    The riots have distracted from the fact the UK has very recently sent additional troops to the middle-east, which looks like they’re planning to go to war with Iran and Lebanon on Israel’s behalf.
