In Norse mythology, ravens are closely linked to Odin and the onset of Ragnarok. While not directly initiating the apocalypse, they gather information leading to the final battle, with crows/ravens symbolizing war, death, and the battlefields where Odin seeks souls for his army.

NEW: ‘It’s a coup’.

One year on from when DOGE entered the US treasury & Trump’s blitzkrieg on the rule of law began, I’ve republished an article I wrote then about what the headlines weren’t saying.

NB: They’re still not.

If you have a Royal Family, you have deference.

If you have a Royal Family, you have a class system.

If you have a RF, you essentially say, "These people are better than everyone else by dint of birth & should maintain enormous influence, wealth and power."

Why would anyone want that at all?

The left were told to leave Labour if they didn’t like it.
Jeez, try to keep up
If you want to stop reform, you should perhaps consider joining up with labour rather than slagging them off?

Swiss Olympics commentator Stefan Renna’s has now been attacked by the Israeli lobby for his broadcasting.

His point was well made, legally watertight, and morally flawless. Oh for a fraction of his backbone among the cowardly and hypocritical UK ‘mainstream’ media.
While the Israeli bobsleigh team was racing, this Swiss commentator kept reminding viewers of the war crimes the pilot has openly supported.

Legend.
