"Ukraine Is Reeling" - Clare Daly

"The Ukrainian state is reeling, unable to finance services its people desperately need. But billions in EU financial assistance are not free; they're loans, which Ukraine will default on. Meanwhile there is little oversight or assurance the funds are going where they should." Clare Daly on Twitter

The Anglosphere Dumbed Down On Russia

“The problem ain’t what people know. It’s what people know that ain’t so; that’s the problem...”

Authored by Ray McGovern: Five years ago today, Congress learned from sworn, horse’s-mouth testimony that there is no technical evidence that Russia (or anyone else) hacked the DNC emails showing how the DNC had stacked the deck against Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton’s rival for the Democratic nomination.

I can almost hear readers new to this website cry out in disbelief: "That cannot be. Official Washington and the media assured us that the Russians hacked those emails in order to help Trump win. And didn’t Obama throw out 35 Russian diplomats in reaction? And what about those 12 Russian intelligence agents indicted for hacking?" Were U.S. officials and media mistaken?

No, not mistaken. They were lying.

THE TWITTER FILES: The Removal Of Donald Trump, Part 1

Behind the curtain...

By Tyler Durden: The third installment of Elon Musk's release of internal Twitter communications has been released, once again via veteran journalist Matt Taibbi.

In this episode, which is a 3-parter, we learn what happened behind the scenes which led to the banishment of former President Donald Trump from the platform.

1. THREAD: The Twitter Files
THE REMOVAL OF DONALD TRUMP
Part One: October 2020-January 6th

— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 9, 2022

2. The world knows much of the story of what happened between riots at the Capitol on January 6th, and the removal of President Donald Trump from Twitter on January 8th...

 

3. We’ll show you what hasn’t been revealed: the erosion of standards within the company in months before J6, decisions by high-ranking executives to violate their own policies, and more, against the backdrop of ongoing, documented interaction with federal agencies.

 

4. This first installment covers the period before the election through January 6th. Tomorrow, @ShellenbergerMD will detail the chaos inside Twitter on January 7th. On Sunday, @bariweiss will reveal the secret internal communications from the key date of January 8th.

 

5. Whatever your opinion on the decision to remove Trump that day, the internal communications at Twitter between January 6th-January 8th have clear historical import. Even Twitter’s employees understood in the moment it was a landmark moment in the annals of speech.

New Zealand Takes Baby From Parents Demanding "Unvaccinated" Blood For Heart Surgery

"You touch our child and we will press criminal charges against you..."

By Tyler Durden: New Zealand's High Court on Wednesday took custody of an infant whose parents demanded he only receive blood from donors who are unvaccinated against Covid-19 for an urgently needed heart surgery to repair a congenital defect.

"He remains in urgent need of an operation, and every day that the operation is delayed his heart is under strain," reads the order, citing one of his doctors.

The parents, Cole Reeves and Samantha Savage, rejected doctors' assertion that using blood donated from outside normal channels was "impractical" for the child's circumstance, and that surgery without donated blood was "not an available option."

Apparently an unvaccinated volunteer with the same blood type is not 'an available option.'

Judge Ian Gault ruled that it was in "Baby W's best interests" for the court to take temporary custody of him so the surgery could be performed. The infant was placed under the guardianship of the court from Wednesday until he recovers from surgery, but not beyond January 31st, the Washington Post reports.
