Alan Mendoza predicted that the Libyan intervention in 2011 would "expunge the ghosts of the Iraq War," and the Henry Jackson Society (which he has run for 20 years) said in 2012 that "Libya is not collapsing" and that "Libya’s militias are much less of a problem than sometimes portrayed in the international press." Libya subsequently descended into civil war, state collapse, became a safe haven for jihadists, and blew wide open a route for mass third-world immigration into Europe.
Mendoza was also a cheerleader for the toppling of Assad. In 2012, he signed an open letter to David Cameron advocating military intervention in Syria, including a no-fly zone, Turkish ground forces, and British supplies of weapons to Syrian rebels. During his tenure at HJS, the organisation also hosted an event entitled "Bringing Down the Last Dictatorship in Europe," concerning Belarus, and published proposals for bringing about regime collapse in Iran through military strikes, covert operations, and support for opposition groups. How’s that going?
He is the President of the Jewish National Fund UK, which has donated more than £1 million to HaShomer HaChadash, an organisation described by the Israeli media as "Israel’s largest militia," and has funded projects linked to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
HJS was also exposed in 2017 for reportedly taking approximately £10,000 a month from the Japanese government to run a campaign influencing British political and media opinion against China. The organisation subsequently apologised to former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind for failing to disclose relevant circumstances when seeking his involvement in an article concerning China.
For some inexplicable reason, Farage has chosen this man to be his "Chief Advisor on Global Affairs." According to Lois Perry, the head of Reform Friends of Israel (wtf?), he is in fact Reform’s "de facto shadow Foreign Secretary" (see recording below).
Under a Restore Britain government, the kind of lobbying Mendoza engages in will be curtailed, and those responsible for dragging Britain into disastrous foreign wars - and the migration waves, blowback terrorism, and tremendous cost in blood and treasure they have entailed - will be purged from the British state apparatus. Mendoza and his ilk would be pariahs.
I do not for one moment believe it is a coincidence that the Middle Eastern wars he so passionately cheerleads align so closely with Israeli foreign policy objectives. Whose interests does this guy actually serve?
Britain’s foreign policy must serve Britain, and Britain alone.
A nonsense argument. All the consequences of the Iran War would still have happened if he had magically found himself in charge of the UK when it broke out. The illusion he has created of being a man who can turn world events at his whim is entirely fake news. It betrays a complete lack of understanding about how international affairs actually function.

The alliance with Israel has cost the American right everything. Some of Trump's failures and inadequacies could have been tolerated if Trump had got the Epstein affair and the Iran War right. He tried to serve Israel instead and look at the consequences.
The European right ought to learn from this.
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon".

The Iran War is the greatest political blunder in the last two decades at least. A catastrophically stupid decision. An unforgivable betrayal of America First principles.

Yeah this. Crypto has actually done pretty badly in terms of prices since Trump’s inauguration. His erratic and destabilising nature is not good for an already hyper volatile market at the edge of the risk curve. It seems that crypto actually does better under adversarial conditions, even if the vibes are not as fun.
And I highly suspect it will get adversarial. The anti-crypto Warren set have been biding their time and will want revenge. I’d say it’s good that their prime focus is anti-AI hysteria now, but unfortunately the shared outcome of raging against an inevitable future is forced orbings for all.
Remember, the U.K. continued on the Kamala timeline and we literally tried to revoke people’s fundamental civic rights unless they got a digital ID. We continue to censor speech at a disturbing level and the one data centre we were building got cancelled.
America does everything bigger and better of course, so I would expect open war on tech, KYC accelerationism and at least a solid attempt at wealth taxes.
There is however a couple of years under the actually good new SEC guidance to get some serious progress done and who knows how good AI will be by then. Pray for more open models and privacy tech.
I think dems sweeping midterms is much less bearish crypto than people think...same as trump was much less bullish than people thought
there will be good and bad, just different flavor than trump
but overall things will be better in future than they are now, we will fix the exploits, build some new datacentres, adopt some crypto etc

I think it's wise to only fly on commercial airlines.
Only the capitalist division of labor in large, profit-seeking companies creates enough eyeballs to make safety procedures reliably immune to mistakes, idiots, part failures, language barriers, and weather.

Iran has cost the Republicans far more than anyone expected. It was a catastrophic mistake. And if Reform or the Tories were in charge, we would have gone to war right behind them. On day one, Restore Britain said no. It was not right for the British people, and we were absolutely right to draw that line in the sand.
The consequences of ANOTHER pointless Middle Eastern war have reached far into the homes of ordinary British families.
The price of petrol. The cost of heating. The weekly food shop. The mortgage. The small business struggling to pay its electricity bill. YOUR life has been made so much more expensive by THEIR war.
Every pointless escalation has made life more expensive for people who are already being squeezed from every direction.
For what? To what end? What has this war achieved? Absolutely nothing of worth.
Restore Britain said no.
Not because we support the Iranian regime. Obviously that is not the case.
But because the first duty of a British government is to protect Britain and its people.
And that very much includes protecting British families from the economic consequences of wars that are evidently and clearly not in our national interest.
When oil prices rise, families pay more to fill their cars. Those moving goods face higher diesel costs. Farmers pay more to operate their machinery. Businesses face rising transport and production bills.
Those costs do not stay at the petrol pump. That gets passed on. EVERYTHING gets more expensive.
It is always the same people who end up paying. It’s not the politicians making grand speeches about international leadership. It’s not the commentators demanding military action from the comfort of television studios.
It is British mums and dads trying to stretch the wage for a few extra days. It’s the pensioner frightened to put the heating on. The young couple wondering whether they can afford a home.
The small business owner calculating whether another increase in costs will finally force them to close.
They have been handed another bill for someone else’s war - a war backed by everyone on the right apart from Restore Britain.
Farage said this is the ‘right one’, and 'the gloves need to come off’. That is VERY easy to say from a GB News studio.
A Restore Britain government will put the interests of its own citizens before the approval of foreign leaders.
Britain does not need another foreign war. We tried that. It failed, over and over.
The abuse I received from Reform politicians for saying so was extreme.
They were wrong. The Tories were wrong. Restore Britain was right.
We need cheaper energy, affordable food, secure borders. We need to control inflation. We need to make our economy deliver for working men and women. THAT is our aim. Not getting dragged into another pointless foreign war.
Our loyalty is to the British people. Our responsibility is to British families. Our aim is to make life affordable again for our people.
And our answer to yet another unnecessary war was no, and remains no.
No more pointless foreign wars.

Identity is the central question of our age.
While the present regime encourages every other group to celebrate and politically organise around its identity, it does everything in its power to prevent the native British people - and Europeans in general - from doing the same.
That ends now.
Before anything else, our first consideration must be "how does this benefit our people?"
If something benefits us, we do it.
If something hurts us, we crush it.
It's that simple.

Akash Network is leaving its own blockchain for Solana.
AKT holders approved Prop 346 when voting closed on 2 November. By our count of the on-chain tally, 97% of the votes cast said Yes.
@akashnet runs a marketplace where people rent GPUs and servers from independent providers. Until now it has lived on its own chain, built on Cosmos.
For AKT holders, nothing changes today.
The vote approves a 1:1 version of AKT on Solana. The proposal expects it 2 to 3 weeks after passage, once two independent audits are done.
Holders will move tokens through a one-way portal that stays open for two years. "There is no path back," the proposal says. Every AKT that crosses leaves the old chain, so total supply stays the same.
Staking rewards keep paying until a later cutover. That needs its own vote, after a provider testnet and a 14-day community dress rehearsal.
The reason is cost. Akash estimates its marketplace transactions on Solana cost about 9x less than on an Ethereum layer 2 on a calm day, and about 300x less under load.
Tokens using the AKT ticker already exist on Solana, and none of them is the migrated one. Take the mint address only from Akash's official channels.
Helium and Render, two other networks of real-world hardware, already moved to Solana. Akash's compute marketplace is next.

There are more racial laws in South Africa aimed against white people than there were during Apartheid.

I agree. The British establishment should apologise over slavery. To us. For allowing this pathetic, self-loathing, anti-white bullshit to drag on for so long.

Not super familiar with Polish politics... but it's a big tell, that they waited until the President was out of the country. #polandcoup
BREAKING: Coup d'état allegations have erupted in Poland after the head of the country's top constitutional court was suspended, plunging the country into a political crisis.
The court condemned the move as a "coup d'état," while Prime Minister Donald Tusk fired back that his government is "restoring the rule of law."
Police moved on the court as part of the alleged "coup" as crowds gathered outside in protest.
The showdown became serious enough that Poland's president turned his plane around mid-flight, canceled a trip to Africa and rushed home.
See what set off the political firestorm:
