JP Morgan knew about Epstein's sex trafficking, but didn't report it so they could keep doing business with him.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

(📢) What Trump did today was not a SHOULD impeach, it was a MUST impeach.
He said anyone who challenges his authority—an authority he doesn’t have—to give illegal orders to the military must be executed.
That is a prima facie case for impeachment.
Articles should be drawn up.

Imo this is the worst betrayal of Britain so far: handing our most personal & national security-critical data to a far-right owned global corp already implicated in genocide via Israel's alleged use of Palantir targeting tech. Unforgivable, & guess who's paying them? During a cost of living crisis.

On 6th January 2021 thousands of Trump supporters used force to try to prevent the certification of the Presidential election results.
Trump's speech was careful to avoid clear incitement, but Trump's "stop the steal" rally was an attack on democracy, and he whipped them up to "fight like hell".

Interesting insight into the worrying influence and attitudes of Robin Gibb and David Grossman. Any further investigation needs to focus on those two. Gibb's influence especially over the past decade. #BBC
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

But based on how Labour has acted so far they won't. Gibb - just like Johnson - is a threat to our democracy and his specific aim is to bring down the BBC.
Any govt should want to protect it. Any politician that doesn't is also a danger to our democracy. Voters beware.
