Slowly, country by country, the World is waking up to the fact that our own governments and MSM lie to us on an hourly basis to force us into wars we don't want. When we free ourselves of belief in them, we can be at peace. People don't start wars, governments do.

I read the reports coming out of Manchester this morning and I am genuinely speechless. Andy Burnham’s old political machine has just been caught secretly intercepting and censoring emails sent by the public to elected politicians. What were those emails actually about? A resident was asking hard questions about the £55 million in taxpayer loans Burnham handed to Abu Dhabi property developers when he was Mayor, with zero affordable housing requirements. Instead of letting elected councillors read the concerns of their constituents, unelected bureaucrats quietly diverted the emails straight to the legal department to be buried. The politicians had absolutely no idea their personal inboxes were being filtered by the state. The council claims they had to intercept the messages because of potential litigation. It is a complete lie. Internal correspondence proves the city solicitor asked for this specific resident to be blocked months before any legal threat even existed. You vote for local representatives to hold the system accountable. But the second a citizen asks where Burnham sent public money in a Gulf state property deal, his political syndicate builds a secret digital firewall to protect the investment. This is not a functioning democracy. This is a captured corporate cartel running a cover-up for the Prime Minister, and the national media is letting them get away with it in broad daylight.

They want to force nuclear power stations into Scotland yet we don’t need them. They want to force masses of data centres into Scotland yet again we do not need them. A wind farm company with investment and 1500 jobs offered….NOPE you’re not allowed that?🤷🏻‍♂️ Better together?

🚨 GOVERNOR GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action. The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk. Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections. The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas. The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration. Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment. With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.

Gina Hinojosa has issued no December deadline or ultimatum to Elon Musk or Tesla on taxes. As Governor-elect she takes office January 19 2027; recent comments address data center regulations not specific tax demands. huffpost.com/entry/gina-hin… fox4news.com/news/here-is-c…

Of course that isn't what she says at all. They're reduced to trying to gaslight us about what we see and hear with our own eyes and ears. Ridiculous. These are the same brazen liars our media accepted as legitimate when Corbyn was being politically assassinated. #ItWasAScam

On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, a delegation of US taxpayers and international human rights attorneys will arrive at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. They will hand-deliver evidence to the Office of the Prosecutor and call for arrest warrants against President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other senior US officials for aiding and abetting Israel in the commission of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The action is historic and unprecedented. US citizens, acting as taxpayers whose money has financed the weapons and the political cover, are placing the highest officials of their own government before the Court that was created to prosecute the gravest crimes when national systems refuse to act. The submission rests on nearly a year of work by individuals and organizations now organized as the Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (TAAG). It includes sworn affidavits from doctors who worked in Gaza, firsthand eyewitness accounts, whistleblower testimony, videos, and extensive documentation of US political, military, diplomatic, and financial support. The delivery follows a federal court victory that protected TAAG’s First Amendment right to share that evidence with the Court, after the Trump administration had moved to block cooperation with the ICC through sanctions and executive order.
