All of us have been following this Greenland crisis like a cat chasing a laser. Fixated on the red dot of chaos that is the overturning of 80 years of the security arrangement that made the west stable & therefore powerful. Who wants this? All roads lead to Putin.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

From Cameron onwards the conventional approach has been to dodge, subvert and spin your way through interviews. Hence the weirdly loaded questions.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

Video of his remarks where he says, verbatim, that one of his jobs as leader is to funnel more aid to Israel
75% of Democratic voters oppose sending Israel more military aid, as do 66% of independents and 60% of Americans overall according to recent polling

Reread again. No journalist or historian compares to Sarah in being able to analyze the complex web of power and corruption in the US and in predicting where its going next. She always seems chillingly way over the top, but unfortunately her predictions are spot on.

If you want to understand why everything feels so corrupt across all the parties and voting in Democrats doesn't result in any changes, you need to start here. This is the gold nugget you spend hours doom-scrolling to find. Sarah is a national treasure.
From 2023: "As a career criminal with deep ties in business, media, and organized crime as well as access to classified information, Trump now has more leverage over the American government than they do over him."

Remember, the full Epstein Files are well over 6 million pages long.
What you have seen so far is the *least offensive* 3 million pages.
Trump and his lawyers are hiding the other 3 million pages—and have made clear that they will never ever release them, federal law be damned.
