Terrifying that a malfunctioning automated system can in fact shut off fuel switches, as happened on an All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 flight in 2019:

"Investigators later found that the aircraft’s software had mistakenly interpreted the plane as being on the ground, triggering the thrust control malfunction accommodation system, which automatically moved the fuel switch from “run” to “cutoff” without any action from the pilots."

The UK is now the second largest government holder of Bitcoin, but the crown will slip.

The UK currently holds 61,250 BTC, worth approximately $7.27 billion at today’s price, according to Arkham Intelligence. These coins were seized by UK authorities in connection with an investment fraud targeting Chinese nationals.

The assets remain frozen, and legal efforts are ongoing to determine their rightful ownership and whether they will be returned to victims or confiscated under UK law. Until that process concludes, the UK cannot legally forfeit or sell the coins.

Once the ruling is made, the coins are likely to be returned or liquidated.

In the meantime, those coins are being custodied by Komainu. With the national crypto custody tender now live, that arrangement could change by the end of the year.

The risks of state custody are real. Just last week, a UK National Crime Agency officer was jailed for stealing seized bitcoin from a dark web suspect. Bitcoin shines a light on criminals outside the system and those hiding within it.

The UK may be the second largest government holder of Bitcoin… for now. But with legal rulings pending and custody contracts in flux, the question is how much longer.

It is important to remember that Elon Musk was a Hillary Clinton supporter. If Musk had gotten his way, we would just be finishing 8 years of Hillary as President.

I am not sure America would have survived that.

Epstein was a founding member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and Maxwell was literally Bill Clinton's date to Chelsea's wedding. They would both still be preying on children, if Elon Musk had gotten his way and Hillary had beaten Trump.

Trump is the hero of the Epstein case.

Oh I have hope… but I don’t place it in politics.

This was not good.

It’s an in-our-face message that the corruption remains, Trump and crew have no interest in truly eliminating it and they don’t give a crap what we wanted, or what they promised to do.

This is a clear message to whatever intel agency, whatever enablers and whatever participants, that they are safe, and that the status quo will continue, and they don’t care what we think about it.

Georges Ibrahim Abdallah patriote libanais enfin libéré n'était pas un terroriste


Regis de Castelnau

Au bout de 25 ans, la justice française s’est enfin préoccupée de sauver l’honneur. Elle vient de prononcer la mise en liberté de Georges Ibrahim Abdallah condamné par une cour d’assises spéciale il y a 40 ans pour complicité d’assassinat. Abdallah militant communiste libanais avait été accusé de complicité dans l’assassinat sur le territoire français de deux diplomates américains et israéliens dont il a été par la suite reconnu qu’ils appartenaient aux services spéciaux de leurs pays respectifs. Assassinats perpétrés alors qu’Israël était en guerre contre le Liban qu’il avait envahi, en provoquant la mort de 18 000 combattants et civils arabes, et couvrant le massacre de Sabra et Chatila.

Arrêté sur le territoire français, et malgré ses dénégations, il sera donc condamné en 1984 à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité par une cour d’assises spéciale chargée de juger les affaires de terrorisme. Et ce après une procédure pour le moins biscornue. Il y eut s’abord la violation de la règle « non bis in idem » avec Abdallah jugé deux fois pour les mêmes faits, ensuite l’aveu postérieur de son avocat reconnaissant qu’il l’avait trahi et travaillé avec les services français, ensuite toujours la défense absurde et provocatrice de celui qui avait succédé à ce premier avocat, et enfin des réquisitions lunaires de l’avocat général. Malgré ces énormités, il ne fut pas possible d’obtenir une révision de la procédure. Georges Ibrahim Abdallah n’était pas un terroriste, c’était un patriote Libanais luttant pour défendre son pays contre une invasion israélienne soutenue par les États-Unis. Une propagande mensongère va bien sûr le présenter comme un terroriste palestinien pro palestinien, qualificatif immédiatement utilisé pour ceux qui combattent Israël.

Il est libérable depuis 1999. Sa libération a été prononcée à plusieurs reprises par le tribunal d’application des peines. Libération systématiquement annulée par les juridictions supérieures sur appel tout aussi systématique. Le sommet étant atteint quand sa libération fut prononcé avec la condition de la prise par le ministre de l’intérieur d’un arrêté d’expulsion. Manuel Valls, jamais en retard d’une vilenie, refusa toujours de prendre cet arrêté. Maintenant ainsi Abdallah en prison dans une prison où il était enfermé depuis près de 40 ans, étant alors le plus ancien détenu des pays de l’UE. Alors que le maintien en détention ne pourrait s’appuyer sur aucune considération judiciaire, le parquet toujours soucieux de complaire, a naturellement fait immédiatement appel.

La guerre secrète, ça existe. Et lorsqu’on est en guerre on la pratique. Israël qui est en guerre depuis sa création le fait, mais habituellement discrètement. Car quand ses services interviennent sur le territoire d’État étranger, en droit cela s’appelle du terrorisme. On renvoie pour cela au film de Spielberg « Munich ». Et à l’exécution de Mahmoud Hamchari sur le territoire français. Tout le monde sait qui a perpétré cet attentat, sauf manifestement les autorités françaises qui n’ont jamais bougé.

Le problème c’est que le soutien américain et la passivité du reste de l’Occident amène les dirigeants israéliens actuellement au pouvoir à se croire tout permis et, sûrs de leur impunité, ils revendiquent à l’avance les assassinats que le Mossad ou le Shin Bet commettraient à l’étranger.

Le chef du Shin Bet Ronen Bar, a déclaré « qu’Israël travaillera à l’assassinat des dirigeants du Hamas. Le Conseil ministériel, le cabinet israélien nous a fixé un objectif, qui est en termes simples, l’élimination du Hamas, et nous sommes déterminés à le faire. Partout, à Gaza, dans la Cisjordanie, au Liban, en Turquie, au Qatar ». Comme d’habitude Netanyahou ne s’est pas gêné lorsqu’il a annoncé son intention le 22 novembre 2023 en déclarant : « J’ai donné l’ordre au Mossad d’agir contre les dirigeants du Hamas où qu’ils se trouvent ».

Comprenons-nous bien, vouloir frapper son ennemi à la tête a une autre légitimité morale que le massacre des civils de Gaza. Et à la guerre, ça marche comme ça. Mais en la circonstance ce qui est effarant c’est le sentiment d’impunité qui anime le pouvoir israélien revendiquant par avance le droit d’aller pratiquer le terrorisme sur le territoire d’autres États ! Concernant la France, si jamais cela arrivait chez nous, on peut malheureusement imaginer ce que serait la réponse de Macron et des dirigeants français.

The UK government is secretly paying foreign YouTube stars to publish “propaganda” videos.

Peace and Development Are Better Than Austerity and War: The Twenty-Ninth Newsletter (2025)

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.”

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.

Hey, so what? It was only two dead (mentioned later in the article) and two seriously wounded. So what man?

Life reminder. If you are poor you can’t afford cheap stuff. Today I learned a good lesson. If a paint is super cheap it also means it’s super bad. Had to spend quite some money on paint today (mistake number one was the idea to paint cupboards instead of just doors as those are visible), and seeing how much it will cost (basically the cost of making the entire furniture so far), I figured I would hack the system and grab the paint that was three times cheaper. Pressing fast-forward few hours I’m back in the shop buying the expensive paint. That piece of crap I bought stood nowhere near a paint. More like colored water at best.

According to a recent Speech First report, the nation’s leading medical schools are controlled by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion fanatics, who inflict beliefs such as “weight inclusivity,” racial justice, and gender ideology on their staff and students through policies, forced statements, and curricular mandates.

in reply to YoungBlood

Filed in the fall of 2024, “Critical Condition” analyzed public records from FOIA requests from 54 of the country’s top medical schools, and the results are alarming.

For example, the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School offers a “Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills” program that teaches students to embrace “weight inclusivity,” arguing that weight-loss strategies foster a “culture of shame.” Students are also instructed to avoid terms such as “overweight” or “obese.”
