Row Erupts Within Farage’s Reform Party as MP Rupert Lowe Suspended and Reported to Police

 

A scandal has erupted within Reform UK in Britain as one of its five MPs has been suspended and referred to police amid alleged threats of violence shortly after challenging the leadership structure of the party and leader Nigel Farage.

 

After soaring to the top of the polls as the strongest party in Britain, Reform UK has withdrawn the whip from one of its five MPs, Rupert Lowe of Greater Yarmouth, and claiming, according to The Times of London, that the party has received reports of “threats of physical violence” against chairman Zia Yusuf as well as alleged “targeting of female staff who raised concerns, and evidence of derogatory and discriminatory remarks made about women, including reference to a perceived disability.”

 

London’s Metropolitan Police said that it had been informed of the allegations on Thursday, however, the alleged threats are said to have occurred on December 13th. “Officers are carrying out an assessment of the allegations to determine what further action may be required,” the force said in a statement.

 

The timing of the allegations has been called into question by Lowe, who claimed that they were made in retaliation to comments he made earlier in the week criticising the structure of Reform and deriding leader Nigel Farage as a “messianic” figure at the helm of a “protest” party rather than acting as the frontrunning party that it has become.

 

“This complaint obviously went in just after I asked reasonable questions of Reform’s leadership. A malicious attempt to drag my name through the mud,” Lowe wrote on social media. He has denied all allegations.

 

“Let me be abundantly clear — this investigation is based on zero credible evidence against me, as has been repeatedly stated by the neutral investigator. None has been provided,” Lowe said.

Israeli press try to throw shade on their murder of children - which they brag about all over Israeli social media and post videos

 

After doctors accuse Israel of shooting Gazan kids, experts see need for a second opinion

 

The evidence behind a New York Times essay suggesting troops targeted children is less clear-cut than it seems, and there is reason to question the piece’s scathingly anti-IDF author

 

On January 30, as Israeli and Thai hostages were being released from Hamas captivity amid chaotic mobs, John Spencer, a leading international expert on urban warfare, watched the proceedings while focusing on one specific detail: the weapons held by Hamas gunmen.

 

“They were carrying M16 and M4 rifles which use 5.56 mm bullets, the same rifles that Israeli soldiers use,” Spencer told The Times of Israel by email.

 

To Spencer, head of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point in the US, the terrorists’ use of the same weapon as the IDF cast serious doubts on the allegation made in an essay in The New York Times three months earlier implying that Israeli soldiers were deliberately targeting children during the 15-month Gaza war.

 

Attached to the essay were X-ray pictures appearing to show 5.56-millimeter rounds lodged in children’s heads and necks.

 

“It could be that the terrorists were shooting the children,” Spencer said.

IDF says it struck terror targets in Lebanon and Gaza amid ceasefires

 

Military says it hit Hezbollah sites in the north, and suspects planting bombs and engaging in other malign activities in the Strip

The Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes on Friday night in southern Lebanon, saying it targeted Hezbollah military sites. It also struck several suspects in Gaza that it said were acting against Israeli forces.

 

In Lebanon, the army said it hit a Hezbollah operative and sites used to store weapons and rocket launchers, adding that the strikes were carried out due to the threat they posed to Israel.

 

The operative was “involved in the rehabilitation of terror infrastructure and directing Hezbollah terror operations in southern Lebanon,” the military said.

 

“The weapons and the rocket launchers in the military sites posed a threat to the State of Israel and constituted a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF said.

 

Lebanese media showed the results of an Israeli strike on a car between the southern Lebanon towns of Khirbet Selm and al-Jumayjimah. One person was reported killed and another seriously injured.

Yemen Houthis Give Israel Four-Day Deadline To Lift Siege Of Gaza

 

The leader of the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen threatened on March 7 to resume attacks on ships affiliated with Israel if aid supplies to the Gaza Strip do not resume within four days.

 

“If the Israeli enemy continues after the first four days to prevent the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip… then we will resume our naval operations against the Israeli enemy,” Abdulmalik al-Huthi said in a televised address.

 

The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, fired dozens of drones and missiles at Israeli-affiliated ships and others linked to the United States and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea during the Gaza war, until calling a halt when a ceasefire started on January 19.

 

The ceasefire allowed aid to enter Gaza. However, earlier this month Israel halted the entrance of all aid to the Strip and threatened “additional consequences” and a return to war if the Hamas Movement continued to refuse a proposal to extend the U.S.-brokered deal.

 

In addition to the attacks on Israeli-affiliated ships, the Houthis launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel. In response, multiple waves of Israeli strikes hit Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. The U.S. and the UK also launched hundreds of strikes against the group.

 

The Houthis’ latest threat was welcomed by Hamas, which praised in a statement the rule the group played in the conflict with Israel.

 

“The brave decision … is an extension of the positions of support and assistance that they [the Houthis] provided over the course of 15 months of war … in Gaza”, Hamas said.

 

It’s worth noting that the threat comes days after the U.S. re-designated the Houthis group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and sanctioned seven of its senior figures.

 

The group earlier shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper combat drone over the western shores of Yemen. This was the 15th such drone to be downed by Houthi air defense fire since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza.

 

All in all, the Houthis, who had proven to be a capable military force, appear to be determined to support Hamas and other Palestinian armed factions in Gaza. However, with the fighting nearly over on the fronts with the Strip and Lebanon, Israel now has more resources to escalate against Yemen.

Israeli nationals accused of attempted gang rape of Finnish women in Thai hotel - report

 

Thai media later reported that two German nationals and a Turkish national were responsible after an investigation by Patong Police.

 

A group of Israeli tourists have been accused of attempting to rape a pair of Finnish women at a hotel in Phuket, Thailand, Thai and Russian media reported on Saturday.

 

However, Thai media later reported that two German nationals and a Turkish national were responsible after an investigation by Patong Police.

 

The police station reported an incident involving the assault of a foreign man on Saturday at 5:37 a.m. local time. The incident occurred near the Neptune Hotel on Rat-U-Thit 200 Pi Road in Patong, Kathu District, Phuket.

 

The women were reportedly rescued from the attack by a Russian man named 44-year-old Alexander Belinsky, who was physically assaulted and later hospitalized by the three men. He is currently receiving treatment at Patong Hospital.

 

The Finnish women told police that they were in their room when three Israeli men barged in and tried to assault them. Belinsky was reportedly walking past the room when he noticed the alleged ongoing attack and intervened.

Oxford Academic: Fatal TURBO-CANCERS Even inside HEART after COVID VACCINES!

 

There are no more doubts! Dozens and dozens of medical studies published in the most authoritative scientific journals in the world (even those that initially defended the efficacy and safety of Covid vaccines) confirm that the heart and the immune system are the main target-organs of adverse reactions from mRNA genetic serums (or less widespread mDNA).

 

In September 2023, the European Medicines Agency (EMA, the European Union’s drug regulatory body), was forced to admit a correlation between Covid vaccines and lethal myocarditis (inflammation of the middle wall of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the external cardiac membrane).

Trump Announces Company Will Invest $25 billion for US Infrastructure

 

President Donald Trump announced a game-changing development for America’s shipping industry. French shipping giant CMA CGM will invest a staggering $20 billion into U.S. shipping logistics and infrastructure. This massive investment comes directly “because of the election,” according to Trump. Another promise kept. Another win delivered.

 

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

 

“This massive investment will go toward building out shipping, logistics infrastructure terminals, which will create an estimated 10,000 new jobs in America. It’s so important because it’s about shipping,” the president continued.” You know, we lost our way for many years. We haven’t done anything. We used to build a ship a day, and now we essentially don’t build ships. We’re going to start that, and we’re going to be announcing next week, or the week after, a massive new program for building very, larger, larger ships in the world.”

 

The announcement came after Trump met with CMA CGM Chairman Rodophe Sade at the White House. Not just talk. Not just promises. Real investment. Real jobs. Real American renewal. Remember when “experts” said manufacturing jobs wouldn’t come back? Wrong again.

 

Rebuilding America’s Maritime Muscle

The $20 billion investment will transform America’s shipping landscape. CMA CGM isn’t just throwing money around. They’re strategically rebuilding American maritime power. Funny how quickly companies invest when America puts America first.

Barclays app down AGAIN: Customers are unable to transfer funds or access app just days after bank said it would pay out millions in compensation following previous outage

 

The Barclays banking app is down, with millions of customers unable to transfer funds or access their accounts.

 

According to Down Detector, the problems started at around 7am GMT, and are affecting users across the UK.

 

The site detected a huge spike in complaints, with nearly three-quarters of them citing problems with 'funds transfer'.

 

The failure comes only days after the bank said it would pay out millions in compensation following a previous outage.

 

Users took to social media site X to complain, with one user writing: 'I am SO over Barclays quite literally RUINING lives.

 

'Completely ruined my holiday last time not letting me access my money now the apps down AGAIN so another weekend of not being able to access my own money or even talk to staff about it.'

 

Other customers vented about the lack of communication from the banking giant about, complaining that they had to find out about the outage from social media.

 

One user wrote: 'How is Barclays gonna go down and I have to be informed by searching about it on Twitter rather than the banking actually letting their customers know. Shambles.'

The article below was first first published on November 23, 2004 under the title:

 

Is the Annexation of Canada part of Bush’s Military Agenda?

 

It was granted a 2005 Project Censored Award (Sonoma State University California).

 

A short version of the above article was submitted to the Toronto Star, It was accepted and confirmed for publication three consecutive times in the Opinion section. It was never published.

 

Censorship prevailed. Canada’s media was mum on the process of US Militarization of Canada. With President Trump, the issue of Canada: the 51st State, requiring Annexation has been raised.

 

But most Canadians are totally unaware that under the clauses of US Northern Command, (which was accepted by PM Paul Martin) has the right to invade both Canada and Mexico.

 

Unfortunately, the history and nature of “U.S Annexation” announced by the Trump Presidency has not been revealed by the mainstream media.

 

The map below reveals the territory of USNORTHCOM, which allows the US military to deploy from the Mexico and part of Caribbean up to the North West territories and the Canadian Arctic.

 

The map indicates why the Trump government is intent upon acquiring Greenland.

Chris Hayes: One of the ironies of the attack on you—and I’m going to play what he did—was that my understanding is the program at the source of this whole thing is a program to lower costs for people. Do I have that top line correct?

 

Stacey Abrams: You have it absolutely right.

 

Chris Hayes: Okay, so I’m going to play what he had to say, and then I’m going to ask you to explain what the program is that was such an obvious, ludicrous laugh line for the Republicans there.

 

President Trump: Take a $1.9 billion to recently created Decarbonization of Homes Committee headed up—and we know she’s involved. Just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?

 

Chris Hayes: Okay, so what is this organization? What is your relation to it, and what does it do?

 

Stacey Abrams: In 2023 and 2024, I led a program called Vitalizing DeSoto. We worked in a tiny town in South Georgia to demonstrate that by replacing energy-inefficient appliances with efficient appliances, you can lower your cost. In fact, we accomplished that. For 75% of the community, they got appliances that are lowering their bills right now. We had one woman who saw her electric bill cut in half—from $180 to $98.

 

That’s what we delivered. Based on that program, a coalition of organizations—famous organizations—came together and said to the EPA, “If we can do this here, we can do this for millions more Americans. Let us invest the money of America in lowering the cost for Americans.” And the EPA said, “Okay, great. Go for it.”

Activist who Investigated on Geoengineering LOCKED UP in a PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL after a Kafkaesque Trial

 

The incredible and terrible story of a former worker at Malpensa International Airport of Milan

 

He worked at Malpensa International Airport of Milan until 2018 and as an activist intent on exposing the use of climate geoengineering he filed a complaint with the judiciary that seems to have backfired on his freedom of opinion and expression.

 

Since February 25, 2025, in fact, the Italian Enrico Gianini, 57 years old, has been locked up in a psychiatric hospital where he could remain for at least a year if his case is not reviewed by the judges in the wake of the social protest that is growing hour by hour in Italy.

 

In the middle there is a story even worse than that of Josef K, the legendary protagonist of The Trial, the great unfinished best-seller by the famous German-speaking Bohemian writer Franz Kafka.

 

 

The Psychiatric Drift of Italian Justice

A story that once again pillories Italian justice, incapable of finding the culprits of enormous “misleading cover-up” such as the Ustica Massacre caused by the Itavia DC-9 shot down by a mysterious missile on June 27, 1980 and the bomb attack on judge Paolo Borsellino (who was investigating that of his colleague Giovanni Falcone, an FBI collaborator).

 

In fact, magistrates are as cautious in investigating the shameful intrigues between the mafia, freemasonry and the Secret Services as they are quick to label as socially dangerous people who, like Enrico, have pointed the finger at some suspicious issues in the New World Order system…

 

And they are very quick to accredit dubious and questionable psychiatric reports to subject Italian citizens to TSO (Compulsory Health Treatment) or to tear little girls away from loving mothers, guilty only of being separated and poor.

 

We have written about the events of Yaska, daughter of an American citizen but forced to have a judicial abortion after being interdicted, and of Ylenia, the little girl with a heart condition taken away from her mother at just 9 years old, locked up in a family home and then bombarded with psychotropic drugs to help her overcome the trauma.

Jew bragging about buying heaps real estate to drive prices higher - fucking tosser

 

Buyers’ agent Simon Cohen’s firm has bought $200 million worth of real estate in the past 68 days

 

Simon Cohen’s buyers’ agency has snapped up $200m of real estate this year alone. He’s got one piece of advice for young Aussies who say they’ll never own a home

 

As a teenager, Simon Cohen would often bug his dad to drive him around Sydney’s famed Point Piper so he could gawk at the spectacular mega mansions overlooking the harbour.

 

On the long drive from the family’s modest home in the northern suburbs, a young Cohen would dream of the day when he might play a role in those multimillion-dollar transactions, aspiring to be a dominant figure in the world of real estate.

 

A few decades on, the 40-year-old has achieved that vision – and then some.

 

In the first 68 days of the year, his buyers’ agency Cohen Handler has brokered more than $200 million in deals.

 

“It’s an OK number,” he quipped. “We did well over a billion last year, so we’re on track. My philosophy is if you’re not moving forwards, you’re moving backwards, so it’s a fair start.”

UK says Australia ‘considering’ joining group to protect Ukraine peace

 

Britain’s PM has revealed what Anthony Albanese told him on a Saturday phone call about his plan for Australia’s potential involvement in protecting Ukraine from Russia.

 

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is considering joining a group of countries prepared to protect an eventual ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, according to the UK’s prime minister.

 

Britain and France have been leading efforts to form the so-called “coalition of the willing”, with the US’ long-term commitment to Europe’s security now in doubt under President Donald Trump.

 

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer “spoke to the Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese this morning,” the UK leader’s office said on Saturday.

 

“He welcomed Prime Minister Albanese’s commitment to consider contributing to a Coalition of the Willing for Ukraine and looked forward to the Chiefs of Defence meeting in Paris on Tuesday.”

 

European countries have been rushing to boost support for Ukraine as Mr Trump pursues direct talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to end Moscow’s three-year-long invasion of Ukraine.

"NO DISSENT": Trump Asks "All Republicans" To "Give Us A Few Months" And Approve GOP Continuing Resolution

 

The bill largely maintains current spending levels, while an additional $8 billion would be included for defense programs, and $6 billion for veterans' healthcare.

 

Non-defense spending would drop by approximately $13 billion.

 

Johnson is setting up the bill for a vote on Tuesday, despite a lack of buy-in from Democrats - essentially daring them to vote against it and risk a shutdown. He's also betting that Republicans will be able to quash inner divisions over spending and force it through.

 

Trump Asks GOP To Come Together

"The House and Senate have put together, under the circumstances, a very good funding Bill ("CR")!" Trump wrote on Truth Social, aking all Republicans to (Please!) vote yes on it next week.

 

"I am asking you to give us a few months to get us through to September so we can continue to put the Country's "financial house" in order," the post continues.

 

"Democrats will do anything they can to shut down our Government, and we can't let that happen. We have to remain UNITED NO DISSENT Fight for another day when the timing is right. VERY IMPORTANT. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."

FDIC Resists Transparency On Operation Chokepoint 2.0; Coinbase CLO Says

 

At least 30 tech and crypto founders were reportedly “secretly debanked” in the US during Operation Chokepoint 2.0…

 

Some US government agencies continue to deny transparency regarding their role in Operation Chokepoint 2.0, a period during the Biden administration when crypto and tech founders were allegedly denied banking services, according to Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal.

 

The collapse of crypto-friendly banks in early 2023 sparked the first allegations of Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Critics, including venture capitalist Nic Carter, described it as a government effort to pressure banks into cutting ties with cryptocurrency firms.

 

Despite recent regulatory shifts, agencies like the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) continue to “resist basic transparency” efforts, Grewal wrote in a March 8 post on X.

 

“They haven’t gotten the message,” he wrote.

Un cri de coeur. Where to, when trust in our government is gone?

 

What happens when people no longer trust a Government that abandons whistleblowers, surrenders its citizens to a foreign power and hides behind ever-increasing secrecy,

 

I no longer trust Australia’s Government.

 

That statement will seem trite to some, perhaps to many, naïve to more. It is not to me. The sense of betrayal is visceral. Wrestling with the words at this keyboard, the realisation hurts. It would not be hard to cry.

 

This is not a matter of party politics. Yes, one mob is worse than the other – you chose which one. It is the culmination of decades of bipartisan failure eating away at faith and then, the way such things do, a sudden collapse.

 

“There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen” wrote Lenin, someone with experience in the matter. It’s the decades-in-weeks thing happening now.

 

I like to think I’ve maintained a healthy sense of optimistic scepticism over more than half a century of journalism. I am not given to conspiracy theories, possess no tinfoil hats and will happily offer my upper arm for vaccinations. I’m not a political idealist – the elector’s responsibility is only to select the least worst option. I’m even pragmatic about what our spooks get up to. (Of course we bug our neighbours, doesn’t everyone?)

 

Years of incrementalism and wedge politics enabled the slide of trust, the bipartisan abrogation of sovereignty greased it, set it up for the plunge amidst our flailing reaction to the Trump circus with a single trigger, the proverbial straw.

 

Daniel Duggan

The realisation that our Attorney-General wants to surrender an Australian citizen to a dysfunctional foreign power, hand him over to a now overtly politicised and manipulated justice system for something the Australian might have done way back in 2011 that wasn’t illegal at the time anyway, certainly not in Australia.

 

The case of Daniel Duggan is not of itself enough to lose faith, as murky as it is, but it comes on top of Australian government abandoning whistle blowers, becoming steadily more secretive, paying lip service to greater transparency, watering down the promise of integrity oversight.
