This is about why I, a devout pacifiist, am promoting the rearming of Europe #RearmEU.

It's clear to me that, to maintain a state of peace, one needs to be protected against external forces of evil, with a capability of attacking.

It's no help to peace denying existence of those external forces.

Same for me, at first. Fortunately, 2 Venezuelan friends and some research put me right, very quickly.

Not sure about that. That was also the case in the 1920s & 1930s (Hearst era), 1950s (Mccarthy era) etc. Main US media has always been owned by fascistic monopolistic media barons, except, maybe, in 1940s.

Time was when America called Fascists enemy.

Now they call anti-Fascists enemy.

What happened?

The only winners are flag manufacturers & they're probably Chinese.

Yep. I know. I do watch his YouTube stuff a lot but, all too often, it doesn't match the promise of the headline & I'm disappointed. A lot of American online press is like that, for me.

Yep. #WeDidWarn & #WeStillWarn - 'cause it will, unfortunately, get worse.

Yes but a bit too 'click-baity' for my taste.

You ain't kiddin' there. #WeDidWarn but, like Cassandra, no one heeded.

No. I haven't heard of them - but, then, there's only so many hours in a day 😜

Like you, I don't know 'Quiet Riot' either & shall check it out, soon.

Rachel & (as you say, especially) Lawrence are very listenable, indeed. Ben has a delivery that may not be 'shouty' but does annoy my British./Dutch sensitivities.

Ray Selby #FBPE #XR #antifascist #NAFO #WeDidWarn #WeStillWarn @tarotray.bsky.social · 21h

I must say that Ben Meiselas does grate on my sensibilities, by his delivery style. But what are the British equivalents?

I also listen or watch on YouTube, similar podcasts as you fully agree with you.

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle

His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"
