Yes we’re all ‘far-right’ now, no matter the agenda that we are opposing. This article nails it I think;
”It is striking how ‘far-right’ has become an all-purpose insult in Europe and the West. It is a label slapped on anybody who stands outside the narrow conformism of woke politics. Whether it’s parents protesting against drag queens preaching trans ideology to children, or citizens concerned about anything from the EU’s crusade against cars and farmers to the imposition of vaccine passports or mass migration, they are all apparently ‘far-right’ now.
The message is always that ‘these people’ are basically scum, beyond the limits of respectable debate, and should not be engaged with. Instead they should be cancelled, arrested or banned altogether.
Little wonder then that the police, politicians and media seized with relish on the ‘far-right’ counter protest in London on Armistice Day last weekend. They focused on a few hundred white working-class football fans who briefly skirmished with police near the Cenotaph on Whitehall (before respecting the two minutes’ silence for the war dead), as a welcome distraction from facing the truth about the massive ‘peaceful’ pro-Palestinian demonstration up the road, which was really an anti-Israeli, often antisemitic, hate march.
Amid the furore about the ‘far right’ in London last weekend, a rough home-made banner displayed by one of those counter protestors provided more clarity and insight than all of the worthy media waffle around the mass protests. ‘It’s Not Pro-Palestine,’ read the hand-painted sign, ‘It’s Anti-British’. That is one thing those branded ‘far-right’ surely got right.”

midwestern doctor an excellent substack. If you are on statins, read his recent article on them. And get off them asap. They are poisonous filth, and all the more so as papers show that higher cholesterol levels mean a longer life. They are an essential cell building block, and more so in the brain.
Agree. AMWD provides well-researched and thought-provoking articles not just on medical issues. We should all be questioning diagnoses of chronic diseases, long-term medication and poly pharma. Drugs like statins, PPIs, SSRIs etc have serious side effects and don’t address the underlying cause of symptoms that are usually due to diet, evironmental toxins and pharma products such as vaccines. Starting with a real food diet, avoiding sugar, starchy and processed foods, is usually the answer to recovering your health though the damage done by pharma products such as vaccines can be difficult to reverse.
A long one, but worth a read:-

More on the integrity and accuracy of data pertaining to human casualties reported in Gaza, data which is disseminated and parroted then by organizations and the MSM outlets;
”The guidelines for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which reports on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, “state that human suffering must be addressed wherever it is found.” That is why their silence in response to Hamas’ devastating attack on Israel is so concerning.
The OCHA’s office for the “Occupied Palestinian Territories (OCHA-OPT)” claims to provide “information management services to the humanitarian community.” What the international community doesn’t know is that the OCHA-OPT continually underreports and ignores Palestinian violence against Israelis. They refuse to hold Hamas accountable for violence against Israelis. The OCHA-OPT’s record is even more concerning because of the volume of reports they produce.
Since the massacre on October 7, OCHA-OPT has not published a single report or statement detailing the horrors perpetrated against Israelis. They have instead launched a misguided and harmful campaign detailing the war in Gaza without any context. Israel’s pleas for Palestinians to leave the conflict zone have been condemned, while reports that Hamas has prevented civilians who want to leave from doing so have been ignored.
One of Hamas’ favorite tactics is to use civilians as part of their terrorist operation. They regularly use schools and hospitals to provide human shields for their bases. By omitting the context for Israel’s military actions, namely Hamas terrorism and willingness to sacrifice their own people, the OCHA-OPT are guilty of preventing any objective analysis from the international community. They also effectively encourage Hamas to use civilians as human shields by protecting them from scrutiny.
Many of the numerous people, organizations, and governments who regularly rely on the OCHA-OPT are unaware of how much misinformation they report.”

For those who prefer video, this congressman is making the same point. ( 5mins )
”The “Ministry of Health” in Gaza is lying, overexaggerating the civilian death toll.
“Palestinian” terrorists not only include Hamas members blending in as normal citizens, but also non-Hamas members like the regular Gazans who participated on 07/10.
When they are rightfully killed, they suddenly become “innocent civilians”.
Many of the “children” aren’t even children. This is a gaslighting technique aimed at idiots in the UN.”

Strange this significant news isn’t in the Round-Up. I can only assume it was a time zone thing. Milei is the new President of Argentina;
”Economist Javier Milei, a cable news fixture who was elected to the Argentine Congress riding a wave of anti-socialist sentiment in 2021, was elected the nation’s president on Sunday.
Milei will take office on December 10.
Milei campaigned as a libertarian, capitalist anti-socialist, leading his young political movement, Liberty Advances, against the long-standing Peronist socialist establishment. As a Latin American libertarian, he also took socially conservative positions that do not align with the common understanding of mainstream libertarianism in the United States, such as opposing the legalization of abortion and discouraging business dealings with communist countries, including one of Argentina’s top trade partners, China.”

I think this is giving “TikTok” far too much credit. Anti-semitism has been a thing for a quite a while now, on and off. Should TikTok take down anything “anti-semitic” or should they leave things stand and allow people to make their own minds up, having heard many arguments and understanding who thinks and says what, and why?
I’m sure the beginning of the nazi uprising started just like this one hundred years ago in 1923! Different century different reasons, same hatred! this modern political inertia just doesn’t feel right! If we forget why things happened in the first place, then they’ll probably happen again!
Love the guy shouting at the Just Stop Oil protesters. That video should be shown on all
media platforms. Interesting to see one woman actually looking at her jacket. No joined up thinking by the protesters whatsoever.
It’s great, isn’t it? “If you want to stop oil you need to stay at home and go live in a forest.”
Priceless.
These people aren’t driven by logic or reason, feelings and virtue signalling are the new currency of the woke.
Yesterday evening JJ Couey presented to MD4CE – another excellent presentation.
Also available to view is a presentation by barrister Dr Ann Loufti on the difficulties encountered in getting information about what children are being taught in schools under the Relationships & Sexual Health banner as the teaching material is provided by private companies & parents deemed to have no right to know what their children are being exposed to. The information she shared is sobering & concerning to anyone who cares about the grooming of children.
