Nature Immunology researchers suggest long COVID is associated with persistent immune dysregulation, characterized by chronic inflammation, immune exhaustion, and disrupted energy metabolism. All of those could be contributing to the development of allergic reactions.

The Guardian asked Farage about churchwarden John Richard Simpson, whose company - previously registered to Iranian immigrant oligarchs, the Ghandeharis - donated £200k to him. This was his response: he doesn't know him, and everything is legit, nothing to worry about. Yes, Farage is lying again.

I suspect in this case Farage has put a super injunction in place to prvent anyone saying anything about his dealings with either Russia or Epstein (both, probably, are connected).
He has access to plenty of funding to do & maintain this.

The thing about super injunctions is that we have no way of knowing what they cover, or even that they exist, since its illegal for anyone to tell us (or even hint).
The only clue they are in place is a large inexplicable & widespread silence surrounding a subject that should normally be discussed.

Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon bragged in 2018 that he was advising Nigel Farage. He boasted about it, of all people, to the disgraced child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. That sordid detail may explain why Farage has suddenly perfected the art of keeping his mouth shut.

Ask yourself this:
Why are the press/media/commentators focusing on ousting Starmer and on Mandelson? (Or Rayner, or Reeves etc)
Why are they NOT focusing on Farage and £millions of donations via fake businesses and his continued Russian connections?

I've had to have an emergency bit of cheese as I'm expecting a bloke at half 5 to collect some things he forgot to collect yesterday. I'm delaying cooking dinner til he's been as I bet that if I get it all ready about now, he'll come round and it'll all go cold.

Remember Hodges is from the same line of "journalists" who would have called you a conspiracist for saying this as recently as last year.
Anyone remotely plugged in has understood the Russian connection for **at least** the last 5 years. Lots of us for the last decade.
Defamation not an excuse.

Do tune in to Parliament now if you need a reminder of how little the Tories care about poor children. Looks like there is actually a Reform speaker here too, come to justify plunging kids into poverty to cut the price of beer a bit.

This article has some good info but ignores Ghislaine Maxwell, who is as key as Epstein. She was the daughter of Robert Maxwell, an Israeli spy and Russian mafia operative. Maxwell got key mafiosos out of the USSR by providing them Israeli passports. This allowed them to build a global network (1)
I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.
