Trump calls Epstein conspiracy a ‘hoax’ and turns on Maga ‘weaklings’

 

 

Seems like it's too close to the truth for DJT.

This is ultimately what Epstein was all about - getting 'big names' suckered in, and then having 'loads of dirt' on them, in order to keep them in line and to carry out the bidding of the 'elite masters'. But Trump has been in the pockets of the banker elite for decades, see Adam Curtis' "Hypernormalisation' documentary film for more.

But they won't, because no doubt there are loads of Democrats and their backers who are also implicated with Epstein.

 

I suspect this is all a ruse somehow to discredit both the Republicans and the Democrats in the US, thus garnering support for Elon Musk's ambition to set up a 'new' political party, which will no doubt end up being the equivalent of Reform UK: a 'holding pen' for disgruntled voters, but is nothing more than a controlled opposition.

The strapline of the BBC's Doctor Who spin-off "Torchwood" was 'outside the government, beyond the police'.

 

These real-life intelligence agencies, MI6, Mossad, CIA, KGB etc, they are also exactly that - the operatives of the shadow government that is pulling all the strings in the background. 

 

They'll have dirt on everyone in power, and they can blackmail them with it. And as we saw with Prince Andrew, even people within the 'higher elite circles' like the British Royal Family.

For sure. That kind of manipulation is standard operations for the dark underbelly of the deep states and secret services.  Soviet intelligence was notorious for it in the cold war with targets like John Stonehouse, Tom Driberg, and possibly Harold Wilson.  I think if Epstein was doing blackmail with the blessing of the secret services it would have just been business as usual for them. So for this to blow up publicly, something could have gone wrong such as a leak or Epstein going rogue and deviating from the cabal's agenda.

Fire breaks out at Tomorrowland music festival

 

A frantic operation has been launched to deal with the towering inferno which has taken over Tomorrowland in Belgium.

 

Footage shows the huge main stage up in flames as thick black clouds of smoke billow into the air over the town of Boom near Antwerp.

 

At least three-quarters of the spectacular set piece is said to have been decimated.

 

The festival begins on Thursday but the main stage was not due to be used until Friday.

 

Some of the world’s most popular DJs were due to take to the stage including Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Fisher, Swedish House Mafia and Steve Aoki. 

 

Witnesses reported hearing fireworks going off as the flames started to engulf the left side of the stage.

 

Dozens of emergency teams rushed over to the festival grounds just after 6pm to try and extinguish the flames and evacuate those inside.

 

No members of public were at the festival at the time but around 1,000 staff members were working at the site.

 

Around 400,000 festival goers from across the globe are expected to attend across two weekends.

 

But the fire has now raised fears that the entire event could be cancelled.

Lots of Saturn imagery and interesting look into the symbology

They've lowered the voting age to 16 🤦‍♂️

 

Not yet, they'll bring out a Bill that needs passing through Parliament, probably in the autumn, but it would need another large rebellion to stop it.

Oh yeah, of course it's far right to want your neighbourhood to be safe from sex offenders, and get angry at the elites for making you scared for your family's safety.  

Wait a minute though, there have been plenty of other riots, but only the whites get called far right.

Footage posted elsewhere on here makes for curious viewing. Well, I say curious but it's obvious there's a difference between what actually happened and how it's been reported by the usual outlets.

 

A year ago we had all those "riots" that the Gov and media were trying desperately to whip up into a frenzy. Threats of calling in the army to restore order, etc.

 

It's too serious to be funny but it is laughable how the funny people bus in their rent-a-mobs like this for all occasions and get the police to work on their behalf.

In England and Wales, it's 29.7% of pregnancies ending in abortion and likely to go up with the latest change in the law (1) (2).

 

A quick calculation (via copilot).  Current fertility rate in England is 1.49 children per woman (3); well below the 2.08 needed for replacement level.  

 

If abortion were banned, and all else being equal, it would raise the fertility rate to 2.11 which is just above replacement level.  (4) 

 

So it's one more way that modernity is killing off our civilisation.

(3)  https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/bulletins/birthsummarytablesenglandandwales/2022refreshedpopulations  

 

(4) 

 Live births in 2022: 605,479

 Abortions in 2022: 251,377

 Total pregnancies: 605,479 + 251,377 = 856,856 

That’s a 41.5% increase in births. So, the adjusted fertility rate would be: 1.49 x 1.415 = approx 2.11 

That’s above the replacement level of 2.08 children per woman, which is the threshold needed to maintain population size without immigration.

Key point is the last bit.

Needed to maintain....without immigration.

 

Indeed. And abortion is increasing  ... those 2022 figures represented a 17% increase from the previous year, and they're 3 years old now.

"It's ironic they were having a cultural diversity day but then decided to single out a group of people."

 

 

Union Jack dress row school forced to close early for summer over 'extremist threats'

Quote

A school which pulled a 12-year-old girl out of class over her Union Jack dress has now had to close early for the summer. Bilton School in Rugby in Warwickshire said it is closing "in the interests of student and staff safety" following threats.

Bilton School told parents it was closing earlier than normal for the summer holidays in a letter sent on Thursday, citing "extremist abuse online and via our telephone systems".

"The nature and tone of this abuse has escalated in recent days, including personal threats to our staff," the letter continued. Ranjit Samra, CEO of Stowe Valley Multi-Academy Trust and headteacher Jayne Delves said staff had been threatened.

from: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/union-jack-dress-row-school-32085470

 

Now I don't advocate sending "extremist abuse" no matter your feelings, but I suspect this 'manufactured outrage' has been seized upon by some fringe morons who are now fuelling this "far-right" nonsense so many ordinary people are being tarred with.

 

There's still no explanation given as to how exactly this Union Jack dress was deemed 'offensive' by the school, but are people slowly twigging on to what 'diversity' actually means?

 

Quote

Courtney, who said her outfit was inspired by Geri Halliwell's iconic Spice Girls dress, was stopped at the school gates by a member of staff and ordered to change after picking it out for Culture Celebration Day.

Courtney's father Stuart Field, 47, said he was 'gobsmacked' to learn his daughter had been segregated from her peers due to her choice of attire.

Mr Field, who works in marine restoration, said: "Courtney was so embarrassed and couldn't understand what she'd done wrong.

"She should not be made to feel embarrassed about being British. And she shouldn't be punished for celebrating British culture and history; nobody else I've spoken to can quite get their heads around it."

The father added: "Another with a St Georges flag and another with a Welsh flag were not allowed in either. It was ridiculous. It just seemed anything that was remotely British wasn't allowed.

"It's ironic they were having a cultural diversity day but then decided to single out a group of people."

 

You can celebrate any other culture, but not your own!

Yeah. 50+ years ago when we marched to reclaim the night and keep women and children safe from predators, we were called far left. Strange, isn't it???
