Trump Drops BBC Studios From Defamation Lawsuit.

President Donald J. Trump has dropped BBC Studios from a defamationlawsuitagainst the British public broadcaster, but continues to pursue claims against the BBC over the deceptive editing of a2024Panorama episode.

PULSE POINTS

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: PresidentDonald J. Trumphas removedBBC Studiosfrom his defamationlawsuitagainst Britain’s state-backed public broadcaster, but is continuing a$10 billion claim against the BBCover a 2024 Panorama episode. The lawsuit alleges that the program “intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively” edited aTrumpspeech to misrepresent his remarks about theJanuary 6, 2021, Capitol protests, splicing together remarks made roughly an hour apart to make it look as though he was inciting violence.

📺 DETAIL: Court records related to the lawsuit, filed inFlorida, confirm the BBC Studios entities were dismissed from the proceedings after arguing they played no role in producing or distributing the program in the United States. The BBC hasacknowledged a supposed editing “error”that created the mistaken impression that Trump directly called for violent action, but maintains the documentary does not meet the legal standard for defamation and was not distributed on its U.S. platforms. Trump’s legal team argues the case should be decided by a jury, noting that the BBC’s geo-blocking measures did not effectively preventAmerican viewersfrom accessing the program and thatthe broadcaster actively promoted it to U.S. audiences. The President’s lawyers also contend thatBBC staff provided instructions on how viewers in the United States could watch the documentarydespite regional restrictions. The U.S. government has indicated it is considering participating in the litigation afterthe BBC sought information from several federal agencies through subpoenas. If the case proceeds, a trial will be scheduled for February 2027.

🎯 IMPACT: The case sparked significant controversy, as the BBC is required to beimpartial. While it is widely acknowledged thatleft-wing biasat the broadcaster is endemic regardless, the doctoring of Trump’s speech was so egregious that it led to theresignations of keyBBC figures such as Director General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness.

Information Control – U.S Media Promote Rebuttal to Speech They Refused to Broadcast

July 18, 2026 | Sundance

In a recent counterpoint posed by Michael Smerconish against his own interests at CNN, ABC and NBC,the pundit was refreshingly honest, albeit maintaining pretense.

Smerconish noted it would be “unfair to the office of the President” to present rebuttal dialogue to a speech they refused to air. He posed the issue asone of intellectual hypocrisy, which it is; however, in reality, that was a feature of the media approach, not a flaw within it.

For several years CTH has notedthere is no such thing as mis-dis or mal-information, there is only information. The purpose of our emphasis is highlighted in this example.

The leftist media did not want to allow information to reach their sheeple viewers. So, they awaited the conclusion of President Trump’s remarks and then summarized what he said for the audience along with their rebuttal. By blocking the information from Trump, they limit and control the information to only that which they present. This is by design.

We are seeing this approach in the USA for the same reason we are noting it in Canada. The audience for both messaging systems is the same, blind sheeple leftists. If the source information is never displayed or heard, the only reference is the rebuttal information. This is the same pattern within domestic abuse situations.

A domestic abuser often tries to isolate their victim from family and friends to cut off sources of information or support that could counter the abuse. If the victim maintained contact, it would be harder for the abuser to manipulate them. Some people draw a parallel between this dynamic and the waythey perceive leftist media influencing its audience, casting the media in the role of abuser and the audience as willing participants.

The Smerconish segment highlightshow wrong it is for any argument to start by isolating, blocking, or censoring the sourceof information, then spinning their own version of it and offering counterpoints aimed at eliminating the perceived threat of the information itself.

You may have heard me say,“the need for control is a reaction to fear.” This is evident in this dynamic as well. The media have built their brand around a single,fragile narrative that depends on maintaining falsehoods. That brand could crumble if ever challenged by the original source or an opposing viewpoint.

Unless and until people are willing to engage with intellectual honesty, communists are comprehensively incapable of this consideration, there is no hope within the debate.This is a serious problem made worse by the severity of the media’s financial positionin retaining lies. WATCH:

Why I would have carried Trump's Speech LIVE

Michael Smerconish

Several major news outlets declined to carry President Trump's latest address live. Was that the right editorial decision—or a mistake?

Michael Smerconish argues that if a presidential speech is important enough to analyze and fact-check afterward, it's important enough to air in full first. He makes the case that Americans don't need to be shielded from political speech—they need the opportunity to hear it and judge it for themselves.

New York hosted the world's war criminals for 80 years. Mamdani only noticed the Jew - comment. 1/2

If his principle is that New York Cityshould enforce international criminal law against visiting heads of state, he owes the public the rest of his list. Right now, it has one name on it.

Every September, the motorcades roll into Turtle Bay.

For one week, Manhattan hosts the largest annual gathering of accused war criminals on Earth. They arrive on diplomatic passports, sweep past the barricades on First Avenue, address the world from the green marble rostrum, and fly home.

New York has watched this procession for decades without a single mayor proposing to interrupt it. Until now.

Zohran Mamdani told The New York Times this past week that Benjamin Netanyahu “belongs in The Hague,” and said his administration is in “active conversation” with the city’s law department about ordering the NYPD to arrest the prime minister of Israel when he arrives for the UN General Assembly.

Fine. Let’s take the mayor at his word. If his principle is that New York City should enforce international criminal law against visiting heads of state, he owes the public the rest of his list. Right now it has one name on it.

Mamdani’s selective approach to ICC arrest warrants

Where was this principle in September 2023, when the late Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi addressed the General Assembly?Raisi sat on the death commission that sent thousands of Iranian political prisoners to the gallows in 1988.He was under US sanctions for it. He got his visa, gave his speech, and flew home. I do not remember any New York politician suggesting the NYPD meet him at the airport.

Where is it for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who comes to New York every autumn whilehuman rights groups document what his forces and their proxies have done to Kurds in northern Syria?Where was it for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

Raisi’s predecessor as Iran’s president, who used the UN podium year after year todeny the Holocaust while his regime armed the murderers of Israelis and Americans?

And where is Russian President Vladimir Putin on the mayor’s list?Putin carries an arrest warrant from the same court Mamdani invokes, over the abduction of Ukrainian children.

Sudan’s longtime president Omar al-Bashir spent a decadeunder ICC warrants that included genocide, a charge Netanyahu does not face, and in 2013 he requested a visa to attend the General Assembly.New York’s political class did not demand his arrest. It barely noticed him.

2/2

There is, as it happens, one wanted head of state sitting in a New York jail cell right now. Nicolas Maduro, president of Venezuela until January, is in federal custody in the city, awaiting trial on narco-terrorism charges, after American forces removed him from Caracas.

Whatever one thinks of that operation,look at the mechanism: a federal indictment, written by American prosecutors under American law, enforced by the American government. When the United States decides a foreign leader belongs in a courtroom, it has tools.The mayor’s office of New York City is not among them.

Which brings us to the law. The 1947 Headquarters Agreement obligates the United States to admit world leaders traveling to the UN. Neither the United States nor New York City is a party to the Rome Statute. And no state in history, sovereign or otherwise, has executed an international arrest warrant against a sitting head of government. Not once.

Yugoslavia's Slobodan Milosevic and Bashir faced judges only after losing power.When Putin visited Mongolia, an ICC member legally bound to arrest him, he got a red carpet. South Africa and Jordan, both members, let Bashir come and go.

Mamdani believes his police commissioner will succeed where sovereign states, bound by treaty, declined to try.

Mamdani’s arrest threat is political theater

He knows this, of course. He conceded to the Times thathe is not sure he has the authority, and promised that “we won’t be writing our own laws.”

That concession is the tell.What remains, once the legal impossibility is admitted, is a piece of theater staged for a domestic audience,and the script calls for one specific image: the elected leader of the world’s only Jewish state in handcuffs on a New York street, while the men who gassed Syrians and buried the Rohingya in mass graves ride to Turtle Bay in motorcades.

A word to the diplomats and intellectuals tempted to shrug this off as municipal noise. International law survives on the belief that it applies to everyone, or it protects no one.

Every time its vocabulary is borrowed for a selective performance, it gets a little cheaper, and the people who eventually pay for that are the victims who will need it to mean something.A war crimes regime that operates against one state, and only one, is something much older than international law. It has simply put on the robes.

So here is a challenge, offered in good faith. Publish the list, Mr. Mayor.

Name every leader under indictment or credible accusation whom the NYPD will detain at the city line, and commit to it before September.

Put Putin’s name next to Netanyahu’s, and we can have a serious argument about principle. Add Erdogan while you are at it; he will be in town.

I suspect the list will stay at one name. New Yorkers, home to the largest Jewish community outside Israel, can draw their own conclusions about why.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani considers Netanyahu arrest ahead of UN General Assembly visit

The New York mayor said Netanyahu "belongs in the Hague" and aims to act in accordance with the International Criminal Court, though he's not sure he has the authority to issue the order to the NYPD. JULY 18, 2026 16:06

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is deliberating an order to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York City for the UN General Assembly in September, The New York Times reported on Saturday.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani told NYTpodcast host Lulu Garcia-Navarro on The Interview.

“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court [ICC],” Mamdani added. “And what you will find is that it is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”

Though Mamdani is in “active conversation” with New York’s law department over the potential detention,he said he’s not clear whether he actually has the legal authority neededto order the New York Police Department (NYPD) to arrest Netanyahu.

“Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end,” Mamdani said.

Netanyahu accuses Mamdani of supporting Hamas

Netanyahu recently appeared on the radio show Sid & Friends in the Morning, where he addressed Mamdani’s threats. Theprime minister said he is not concerned, going on to accuse the mayor of supporting Hamas after the October 7 massacre.(both have worked with Hamas)

“Who does he champion? Hamas, that calls openly to massacre every Jew on Earth, that conducted that horrible massacre, the worst massacre on Jews since the Holocaust,” Netanyahu said during the interview.

“I think he should look at who he’s condemning, who he’s praising,”Netanyahu added. “He’s condemning Israel, the one democracy that stands shoulder to shoulder with American values.”

He then equated hating Israel to hating America, adding that “secretly, [Mamdani] hates America.”

Akunis: Mamdani has 'no authority' to arrest Netanyahu

Israel’s Consul-General in New York, Ofir Akunis, responded to Mamdani’s proclamation on Saturday,saying that he has “no authority” to call for the arrest of Netanyahu.

“Instead of dealing with matters over which he has no authority,it would be better for him to start running New York City and only New York City,” Akunis said.

Mamdani has long championed Netanyahu’s arrest, claiming during his mayoral campaign last year that he would order the NYPD to arrest the prime minister. This came in response to the warrant issued by the ICC for Netanyahu’s role in the Israel-Hamas War, which Mamdani has called a genocide.

At the time,US President Donald Trump condemned Mamdani’s calls as “inappropriate” and said he would interfere in the arrest if Mamdani attempted to follow through on the threat. Trump has made no comment on the most recent claims.

Netanyahu addressed the looming ICC warrant during a December 2025 interview, before Mamdani took office.

“No army has done what Israel has done to try to get civilians out of harm’s way, and Hamas has done everything in its power to keep civilians in harm’s way,” he said.

Danon: 'It will not change a thing. PM Netanyahu will come to NY, address the UNGA'

UN Ambassador Danny Danon responded to Mamdani’s comments, reaffirming the prime minister’s intention to address the General Assembly and accusing the mayor of fueling hostility toward New York’s Jewish community by attacking Israel.

“It will not change a thing,” the ambassador said in a statement on X/Twitter. “Prime Minister Netanyahu will come to New York, address the United Nations General Assembly with pride, andstand before the world to state Israel’s truth and its unwavering right to defend its citizens.”

“And if anyone should be arrested, it is Mamdani,” he said.

Anons do you all remember when the board was shut down and we were on a temp board, and their was an undercover guy (on US side) with the initials of BD (Big Dick) he basically was an assassin!

He was supposedly working with Trump to take down bad guys (a lot in Israel etc)but there was a mission to take down the damns in China?

I saved a lot of the ongoing thread.I think it was going on when the board was shut downbut a lot of interesting info if any of it was true)

The collapse of the China Damns had been talked about and in some cases the US etc were working on it.

I remember we were on a new website when this board was shut down. We went on this temp board.

It’s weird because China’s end in that scenario was the damns crashing down.I think the timeframe was near the end of 2020

Can’t remember all the details but it went on a number of months.

Anons did anyone keep the posts from that web sight and BD? The damns we’re definitely talked about and we’re targets.
