The UK government is secretly paying foreign YouTube stars to publish “propaganda” videos.
A three-year investigation has found that online influencers are made to sign legal contracts banning them from disclosing the government’s involvement.
Whitehall officials give “feedback” on each video before the influencers are allowed to publish them.

As military rhetoric and spending by the US and its allies continue to intensify, it is clear that the world must stand up and carve out an alternative path – one rooted in peace and development.
Reason seems to have been gradually abolished by the language of bombs. As weapons systems get ‘smarter’ and ‘smarter’, the range of diplomatic instruments used by the Global North states becomes blunter and blunter. US and European diplomats have returned to the old colonial habit of speaking loudly and brusquely, lecturing the natives about what they should or should not do while they themselves do whatever they want. If the natives do not agree, then the old colonial rulers simply threaten to cut off their hands or bomb their homes.When the International Criminal Court tried to open a file to investigate US atrocities in Afghanistan, Washington reacted by revoking the prosecutors’ visas and threatening to sanction their families. More recently, the United States government sanctioned UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her report on corporate complicity in the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people. This gangster-like behaviour reflects the longstanding attitude of colonial rulers, indicating a return to a period when the West sent its gunboats to threaten our countries to trade as they wanted us to trade rather than to trade as equals. During the colonial period, that form of behaviour was called gunboat diplomacy. What we have now is an updated version: nuclear missile diplomacy.

Trump Has Completely Dropped His "Populist" Act
It’s so funny how Trump has stopped even pretending to be a populist. As soon as he was re-elected he was just “Yeah okay so Israel comes first and forget everything I said about free speech and the Ukraine war is continuing and there will be no Epstein investigation, fuck you.”

IRAN. Les forces iraniennes tuent un kolbar kurde
kurdistan-au-feminin.fr/2025/0…
"IRAN / ROJHILAT – Les forces frontalières iraniennes ont abattu Peyam Ahmadi, un jeune kolbar kurde de Sarvabad (Sewlawa), sans sommation préalable, alors qu’il transportait des marchandises à travers la zone frontalière de Hanjiran, à Marivan.

“I was disoriented, hungry, and nauseous. In Georgia, after suffering a severe asthma attack without my primary inhaler and having a hard cry, I was feeling completely hopeless. In Louisiana, I found myself in a cramped, cagelike bus, waiting for hours. I watched as countless people arrived from a nearby plane, all shackled — hands, feet, and waists. Some were taken inside a building, while others were loaded onto a bus, where I was left behind. I asked for water but was given none.”

For the exploration of planetary bodies with low gravity, such as the Moon or Mars, legged robots have an advantage over traditional rovers. One such robot recently jumped from wall to wall in conditions simulating partial microgravity and free flight at the European Space Agency’s Orbital Robotic Laboratory.

Was hanging out with a bunch of Germans and apparently me being American agro to one of them like a NPC.
They apparently were very passionate about gun control and started talking about that and how could we Americans allow such things to happen in our country.
Anyways, it ended up with them talking about self-defense and me saying that you have the unabictous right to kill anyone who threatens you or your property.
They then said no one's property is worth their life, I said well you shouldn't have taken my property, and then I made a gun sound.
Anyways everyone looked at me as if I was complete psychopath so I may have gone to American.

An 80-year-old pensioner with severe mobility problems has spoken out about his eviction from a rental property, claiming civilian tenants have been poorly treated since 2020.
Colin Hall told a staggered Nigel Farage on GB News he felt "very disgusted" with the treatment of civilian tenants, suggesting properties may have been allocated to Afghan refugees instead.
"We didn't know whether Afghan refugees were being put in our properties and we still don't,"Hall said.
"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace in the world."

Last night was invited to go see The Rose City Band, in Toronto (very chill and psychedelic btw) and there’s a local audiophile recording fan that asked the band’s permission to hook up his audio equipment (some really cool Zoom recorders and some mics…one right off the sound board).
We asked why and then proceeds to tell us a pretty cool story about
John Coltrane – Live in Antibes, France (July 26 or 27, 1965).
Apparently there were only 2 recordings of those famous performances…the official recording and a bootleg from some fan.
Apparently this fan would’ve trucked in this big 4 track recorder, apparently quite cumbersome equipment, to the venue to capture one of the most historical performances ever played.
There’s a ton of bootleggers trying to grab one of these gem performances.
This is what the band posted on their FB page.
And the venue was packed with real and enthusiastic fans. The Rose City Band, on their way to Pittsburg, are living by a totally different set of values that is refreshing!
