When two black bin bags arrived at a community centre in Bradford, few could have guessed at the textile treasures which were inside. But as the bundles were opened, four patchwork quilts in varying states of repair emerged. Their story stretches back to the 1860s - but their latest chapter is only just beginning.
"They've been in cupboards and drawers for more than 100 years," explains Norah McWilliam, who helped bring the pieces back to the city where they were woven. "But something about them kept them alive, kept them in one piece." The quilts were the work of Ellen Freeman, who had stitched together offcuts salvaged from the floor of Lister's Mill in Manningham, then one of Bradford's great textile powerhouses. Born in 1842, Ellen had moved north from Sussex to settle in Bradford with her husband, Robert Wallace. "Two of the quilts are made of scraps of velvet that were from the mills at the time," says Norah, from Queensbury. "They're all hand-sewn - it's quite something when you look at the stitching. "And then there's another quilt, which is made of cottons, which she didn't quite finish because her eyesight was getting worse."
Of the total four surviving pieces, two are complete, another is in need of repair and another remains at an early stage.

Protect your brain, wear a mask, get vaccinated: New Nature study shows SARS2 significantly elevates the risk of neuropsychiatric conditions including anxiety, mood disorders, cognitive impairment and psychotic disorders for up to 6 months.
In the ongoing quest to understand the far-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most compelling yet complex areas of investigation has been the neurological and psychiatric sequelae following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The Israelis may bluster, but Keir Starmer’s promise to recognise a Palestinian state is exactly what he promised it should not be — “performative”. Set aside, for a moment, the hedging — the proviso that Britain would only welcome the Palestinians into the community of nations if Israel didn’t take “substantive steps” to end the nightmare in Gaza and commit to a two-state solution. The fact remains that some three quarters of UN member nations have already recognised a Palestinian state without, so far, bringing such a state into existence or softening Israel’s behaviour.
That said, recognition by Britain and France, which last week announced a similar if unconditional plan, means more than recognition by Brazil or even China. Come September’s UN General Assembly, and assuming that Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t execute an implausible U-turn and embrace the two-state solution that he has rejected for years, two G7 members, among them the US’s closest ally, will have shoved Israel further towards pariah status. America is the only outside party able to influence Israeli policy in any meaningful way, and of US pressure there is little sign.
If Britain’s faltering journey towards recognition seems unlikely to alleviate the agony of Gaza’s civilians, Starmer’s announcement at least acknowledges the deeper, broader forces that have been unleashed by Israel’s actions since the October 7 attacks. Indeed, the agony of Gaza today may one day seem trivial compared to the slower but incomparably more destructive disorder that threatens the Middle East in years to come.
Few scholars have greater awareness of these forces than Fawaz Gerges, a professor at the LSE and a renowned expert on the Middle East. The Lebanese-American is usually a jovial, ebullient person but when we met shortly before the British announcement his smile was full of pain.
“I can see no obvious way out of the disaster that is heading for the Middle East,” he told me. “Egypt is waiting to implode and Jordan faces severe challenges.” The reason is the wave of popular hatred that has built up against Israel and threatens to overwhelm Arab regimes that are linked to the Jewish state through peace treaties or, in the case of Jordan, because they harbour millions of displaced Palestinians. “Of course, the ultimate casualty will be Israel itself,” Gerges concluded. “Living by the sword, Israel has turned itself into a fortress and history tells us that fortresses fall.”
Gerges isn’t alone. I also spoke to a senior Saudi official and confidant of Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and effective ruler. Before October 7, Saudi Arabia had been expected to join the Abraham Accords, under which the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco normalised relations with Israel in 2020. The prospect of Saudi adherence is distant now.
“Middle Eastern stability depends on the Gulf economies,” the official told me, “and we cannot prosper without peace. Sure, we can cope with a war in Yemen and a not-so-stable Iraq, but if Jordan and Egypt explode, the danger for us will be acute. Different groups will vie for control of our holy places, Mecca and Medina. And it won’t be like the Mamluk Empire in medieval times, with a single regime exercising hegemony over the whole region, but chaos and a free-for-all.”
A doomsday scenario may be sketched out as follows: recognition of a Palestinian state being dead on arrival, the Palestinians continue to be persecuted not only in Gaza but also the West Bank and Israel proper, while Israel engorges itself on militarism and nationalism that drive out the last vestiges of compassion and good sense. The Arab states, for their part, captured by groups that apply themselves to Israel’s destruction, in cahoots with a rejuvenated Islamic Republic of Iran and cheered on by antisemites in the West, are unable to provide basic services to their people. More and more brown people come out of the region and into the lands of white people who don’t want them. Pretty, isn’t it?
Nor does any part of this scenario require the various parties to do anything but continue down the path they are already on. Earlier this year, for instance, Donald Trump floated a plan to “clean out” Gaza and “resettle” its population of some two million people in neighbouring Arab countries. According to a recent poll commissioned by Pennsylvania State University, 82% of Israelis support the expulsion of Gaza’s residents, while 56% favour expelling Palestinian citizens of Israel. (Back in 2003 the figures were 45% and 31% respectively.) On Tuesday, Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s finance minister, referred to Gaza as “an inseparable part of the Land of Israel”, also predicting that the West Bank, currently partly governed by the Palestinian Authority, would come under Israeli sovereignty.
The problem for Israeli supremacists is that the Palestinians won’t disappear. They are too numerous to exterminate, and their Arab neighbours have said they won’t take them in, ostensibly for reasons of solidarity but in reality for fear of destabilising their own fragile societies. The last thing Egypt’s current strongman, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, wants is an influx of Gazans clamouring for jobs, houses and a political voice — Jordan, whose indigenous population complains of being swamped by their Palestinian guests, being the example to avoid. Finally, the Palestinians possess a keen appreciation of the deadly intentions of their adversary and something approaching a relish for the fight to thwart them.
This is crucial; as a historian I have come across numerous communities that have lacked such attributes and disappeared as a result. The Jews of Lisbon, for instance, having converted to Catholicism, in most cases expediently, suffered a hideous massacre in 1506 before being driven into exile by the Inquisition. Or take the Armenians of what is now eastern Turkey, denigrated as fifth columnists by the Ottoman government during the First World War. In their villages of mud and straw in the valleys of the Anatolian plateau, they waited docilely to be sent on death marches that killed over a million. And, of course, there is the Holocaust itself, that supreme example of a nation unprepared for the fate in store for it — and for which unpreparedness Israel is the living, breathing refutation.
To cite a contemporary case, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which took up arms against the mighty Turkish state in 1984, avoided extirpation for all of 41 years in part by refusing to lay them down again. The PKK’s recent pledge to disarm, in return for integration into Turkish political life, would put the destiny of the Kurds in the hands of the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He is one of the world’s least trustworthy politicians and the PKK’s decision may prove unwise.
A movement of national liberation, rather than the bunch of jihadis Netanyahu depicts it as, Hamas has said that it will disarm once Israel retreats to its pre-1967 borders — which, given the political impossibility of that happening, means never. Besides, why would Hamas give up the main weapon it has against a much more powerful enemy: the ability to strike asymmetrically, causing maximum horror and distress?
“The Palestinians possess a keen appreciation of the deadly intentions of their adversary and something approaching a relish for the fight to thwart them.”
Hamas has lost support among ordinary Gazans: not because of popular revulsion at the October 7 attacks, widely regarded as nothing less than the Zionists deserved, but because of its callousness towards its own people’s suffering and its intransigence in negotiations with Israel. Yet, Hamas is wildly popular in the West Bank, and indeed elsewhere in the Arab world. Israel itself believes that terrorist networks are replacing dead Hamas fighters at a rate of five to one. “60% of Hamas fighters are the sons of martyrs,” I was told by Avi Shlaim, an emeritus professor at Oxford and a prominent Israeli critic of his homeland. “The easiest thing for Hamas is to recruit more fighters to replace the ones it has lost.”
As the saying goes, victory is survival for a guerrilla army. Anyone with a smartphone can watch films showing plucky Hamas warriors clambering onto Israeli armoured vehicles and taking them out using explosive devices recycled from captured ordinance and finessed on the kitchen table, before, presumably, the inevitable retaliatory execution by an Israeli drone. You don’t need to kill many Israeli soldiers to show your staying power, or to convince Israeli reservists of the advisability of dodging the draft — not that Netanyahu’s government is releasing figures on those who fail to present themselves.
No wonder the other Arab nations are so jittery. In Jordan the Muslim Brotherhood, which spawned Hamas, trounced pro-government parties in elections last September. In Egypt, the authorities announced earlier this month that they had thwarted terrorist attacks targeting prominent figures, apparently planned by the armed wing of the Brotherhood. Recall, too, that it was a Brotherhood government that al-Sisi toppled to seize power in 2013, and whose former cadres smoulder in the prison cells of Egypt’s police state. Not that the effects of Gaza will be confined to the Middle East or the Muslim world. According to a British security source, quoted by Reuters, the Gaza war is “likely to become the biggest recruiter for Islamist militants since [the Iraq invasion of] 2003”.
In the words of the Saudi official I spoke to, the Trump administration needs to take a long view that considers the law of cause and effect. Trump’s promise to settle the Gazans “in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region” proclaims his ignorance of this law. The want of long-term, morally coherent thinking among the political class is marginally less glaring in Britain than it is in Israel and the US. And, if the belated and conditional recognition of Palestine remains strategically open to doubt, Starmer’s government has at least won Trump’s trust. It must now team up with the Arab nations and focus America’s attention on preventing today’s Gazan catastrophe from becoming something worse.
As Israel obliterates Gaza with Berlin's backing, German public support is plummeting. Yet the government is crushing dissent and refusing to change course.

Les forces derrière ce coup d’État ont tout fait et feront tout pour protéger leur emprise sur un pouvoir illégal et illégitime. − Stephen Miller
Par James Howard Kunstler – Source Clusterfuck Nation
Ne faisons pas semblant que le RussiaGate ait jamais été autre chose qu’une « conspiration traîtresse » et un « coup d’État qui a duré des années », comme l’a qualifié sans détour le directeur du renseignement national (DNI) vendredi. La farce électorale lancée par la campagne d’Hillary Clinton s’est transformée en une opération de sédition ouverte menée par le président Barack Obama pour renverser son successeur élu, Donald Trump. Le DNI Tulsi Gabbard est allé encore plus loin et a transmis toutes ces informations au procureur général des États-Unis afin qu’il engage des poursuites pénales. Si vous pensez que ce n’est pas extrêmement grave, c’est que vous ne prêtez pas attention.
Le New York Times n’y a pas prêté attention dans son édition de dimanche. Pas un mot sur cette action historique sur la page d’accueil du site web du journal. Vous comprenez maintenant pourquoi les professeurs de droit de Harvard, les veuves du chardonnay de Martha’s Vineyard et tous les hipsters créatifs de Brooklyn persistent dans leur bulle de délire politique. Au lieu de cela, le Times s’est attardé sur l’affaire Epstein, espérant toujours attraper le Golden Golem dans son piège. (Soit dit en passant, le procès intenté par M. Trump contre le comité du prix Pulitzer pour avoir récompensé la couverture du RussiaGate par le Time est toujours en cours.)
Pendant ce temps, la directrice du renseignement national, Gabbard, s’est rendu à l’émission dominicale de Maria Bartiromo et a annoncé que de nouvelles informations seraient divulguées cette semaine. Tôt ou tard, la procureure générale Pam Bondi devra annoncer qu’une affaire basée sur ce renvoi est en cours de constitution. Je pense que c’est exactement ce qui occupe le FBI de Kash Patel depuis des mois, sans aucune fuite — vous pouvez imaginer les sanctions sévères qui s’ensuivraient. Vous remarquerez également qu’il n’y a pas de crime plus grave que la trahison dans notre législation, comme le précise explicitement le rapport du DNI. Le DNI a également déclaré sans ambages dimanche : « Il doit y avoir des inculpations ». Si vous pensez que le DNI a agi sans consulter des constitutionnalistes chevronnés, vous serez déçu.
Et pendant ce temps, le procureur général adjoint Todd Blanche a demandé la divulgation des transcriptions scellées du grand jury sur l’affaire Epstein de 2019 auprès de l’antenne du ministère de la Justice à Manhattan (SDNY). Et considérez ceci : toutes ces informations ont été complètement séparées des dossiers Epstein que l’ancien directeur du FBI Christopher Wray a contrôlés pendant des années, ce qui signifie qu’elles n’ont pas été soumises à des modifications ou à des manipulations. Vous pourrez enfin voir la différence entre les éléments « bidons » de l’histoire et les preuves réelles.
L’histoire de l’ingérence et de la collusion russes pouvait sembler « importante » à beaucoup au début du mois de janvier 2017, avant la première investiture de M. Trump. Mais lorsqu’ils s’en sont pris au général Mike Flynn, le nouveau conseiller à la sécurité nationale, pour avoir eu une conversation avec l’ambassadeur russe, il fallait se douter que quelque chose de louche se tramait. Comme le demandait ce blog à l’époque : pourquoi les ambassadeurs étrangers viennent-ils ici, si ce n’est pour parler avec nos responsables gouvernementaux ? L’histoire était absurde, mais bien sûr, les médias ont contribué à faire renvoyer le général Flynn, puis ont applaudi la poursuite malveillante engagée contre lui par le ministère de la Justice devant le tribunal fédéral de Washington présidé par le juge Emmet G. Sullivan.
On peut également se demander si certains membres des médias d’information pourraient faire l’objet de poursuites au-delà de la garantie de liberté de la presse prévue par le premier amendement. Y a-t-il une frontière entre cela et le fait d’être complice de trahison ? Que pensait faire Dean Baquet, alors rédacteur en chef du New York Times, en publiant toutes ces informations manifestement mensongères ? Ou les producteurs de CNN et d’autres chaînes d’information ?
Ce n’est pas sans raison que le DNI a qualifié ces activités de « complot traître ». Une accusation de complot qui englobe un ensemble de personnes impliquées dans une série continue de crimes prolonge le délai de prescription jusqu’au dernier acte criminel commis par toutes les personnes impliquées. On peut également se demander quelle sera l’étendue du filet tendu par le ministère de la Justice. Inclura-t-il des acteurs aussi évidents que le sénateur Mark Warner, qui a comploté pour jouer le jeu du RussiaGate en tant que vice-président de la commission sénatoriale spéciale sur le renseignement ? Ou l’ancien membre du Congrès Adam Schiff, qui, pendant des années, a prétendu avoir des « preuves » (c’est-à-dire menti) d’une collusion entre Trump et la Russie au sein de la commission du renseignement de la Chambre des représentants ?
Ou le directeur du FBI Wray, qui a caché des preuves, pourrait avoir falsifié des preuves et a apparemment menti au Congrès sur de nombreuses questions liées à cette affaire ? Ou Andrew Weissmann, qui a pratiquement dirigé la fausse enquête Mueller comme une opération de dissimulation du RussiaGate parce que Robert Mueller était mentalement déficient ? Ou les ninjas du Lawfare Marc Elias, Norm Eisen et Mary McCord, qui semblent responsables du piratage des élections de 2020 et de l’opération « insurrection » du 6 janvier (y compris la supercherie de la commission J6 de la Chambre des représentants qui a suivi), ainsi que l’ancienne présidente de la Chambre des représentants Nancy Pelosi ? Ou l’ancien ministre de la Justice William Barr, qui a gardé pour lui l’ordinateur portable de Hunter Biden pendant la première procédure de destitution de Trump, alors que cet appareil contenait des preuves à décharge qui ont été dissimulées aux avocats de M. Trump ?
Ou l’agent de la CIA Eric Ciaramella, le lieutenant-colonel Alex Vindman et l’inspecteur général des services de renseignement Michael Atkinson, qui ont conspiré avec le représentant Adam Schiff dans le cadre de l’opération « coup de fil à l’Ukraine » qui a servi de base à la première procédure de destitution ? Ou l’inspecteur général du ministère de la Justice Michael Horowitz, qui a bâclé (intentionnellement ?) son enquête sur les irrégularités pénales du tribunal FISA, ou le juge James Boasberg qui a présidé ces irrégularités pénales et en a rendu publiques un grand nombre ? Ou le procureur spécial John Durham, qui a mis des années à ignorer les éléments saillants du coup d’État RussiaGate ? Ou de nombreuses autres personnalités impliquées d’une manière ou d’une autre… McCabe, Strzok, Page, Pientka, Thibault, Baker, Rice, Yates, Rummler, Halper, Pompeo, Haines, Bruce et Nellie Ohr…
Seront-ils tous rassemblés et traduits en justice, comme lors d’un procès de Nuremberg ? Ou feront-ils l’objet de procès distincts ? Ou bien le ministère de la Justice ne s’en prendra-t-il qu’aux hauts responsables : Obama, Brennan, Clapper et Comey ?
Enfin, réfléchissez à ceci : la diabolisation de Vladimir Poutine a préparé le terrain pour la guerre en Ukraine, qui a initialement éclaté en 2014 sous la présidence d’Obama et sous l’égide du département d’État et de la CIA, dirigés par Victoria Nuland, qui a orchestré la révolte de Maïdan. Les révélations officielles faites aujourd’hui par le DNI devraient clairement montrer que M. Poutine ne méritait pas le traitement qui lui a été infligé pendant des années et que les conséquences globales ont été catastrophiques pour la paix mondiale. La moitié de la population américaine croit encore à toutes les conneries inventées de toutes pièces sur M. Poutine, ce qui rend extrêmement difficile pour le président Trump de mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine qui a fait des millions de morts.
Le RussiaGate a eu des conséquences désastreuses, et il pourrait maintenant y avoir des conséquences pour les joyeux farceurs qui l’ont lancé et qui l’ont entretenu, d’une manière ou d’une autre, pendant une décennie.

I think a lot of it is down to who owns and runs the media. That's certainly the case in the UK, even with the BBC. Wealthy off shore tax avoiding billionaire media owners and right-wing editors.
What’s notable is that we’re still early in how bad things will be. Tariffs haven’t fully kicked in and the effects of reduced tourism plus missing workers due to immigration crackdowns are still making their way through the system.
At least Trump has made clear the government statistics will be positive going forward, no matter how bad things get.

I think one of the best examples of scientific progress I've seen recently was a post I made earlier about a 17 yo girl who disproved a 45 year old math conjecture. People had spent entire careers trying to prove it correct, and she conclusively demonstrated it to be false.
That's how science is supposed to work. It's a process of guessing and debunking guesses. Whatever can withstand the efforts to debunk it, is probably true. When the scientific process is functioning correctly, we don't have to take it purely on the basis of blind faith or like some religious dogma dictated by experts from on high. We're able to openly contradict received wisdoms, to demonstrate and recognise our mistakes, and learn from them in the absence of shame.
Anyway, I don't think it's "science" that people are fed up with. I think it's certain self-proclaimed authorities (typically either politicians or those with a financial incentive) masquerading as experts as though they are the unimpeachable high priests of an infallible religion. They're misrepresenting what science even is, and people are not to blame for calling that bullshit and flipping them off.
