Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

Hot Take 2: if this is Mandelson's position, there is no reason for him not to issue a statement to this effect. If he has not issued a statement to this effect, the BBC's "understanding" of his actual position may be inaccurate. Stop letting people play this game.

People keep debating whether Epstein is more tied to Russia or Israel without understanding it's the same people: dual Russia/Israeli citizens involved in organized crime. The modern roots of this operation, going back to the 1980s, are detailed in the excerpt from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT below.

Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Astonishing that in a two party system the Democrat Party had not been contesting all seats.
Apart from flying the flag and creating an organization it's an opportunity to allow young candidates to gain campaign experience.

Buried in this article is the astonishing news that "Across the state Democrats have recruited candidates to run in all 150 state House districts, 16 state Senate districts and every other state and federal contest on the ballot". G-d bless Texas, get on their level.

🤣The Russian pilot, who saved 167 people, is being asked to pay damages for crashing the plane.
In September 2023, the commander of the A320, Sergei Belov, made an emergency landing in a field.
All 167 passengers survived. The pilots were quietly fired, and Belov was made the main accused and sued.
