Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of β€œhighly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

Palantir should be nowhere near ... well, anything.

They should be dumped faster than toxic waste.

Unlike Westminster, Scotland's Government refused to do a deal giving Palantir access to our NHS, but the data-thirsty company has shocking power globally, and is run by the worst of people.

AP: BREAKING: The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.

The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.

Are you against the War on Iran?

Do you want your country to have nothing to do with it?

If so, spread the message.

No to Donald Trump's evil illegal war.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Andrew O’Hagan Β· Stay Classy: Mummy’s Favourite The late queen can be held responsible for much, but nobody could accuse her of seeming to enjoy her role. For the...

"When a lazy aristocrat from a dying dynasty uses a helicopter to travel seventeen miles, the edifice shakes. But when that same man rapes a 17-year-old and calls her a liar, it is the end of days."

Utterly excoriating from Mr O'Hagan.

At the BMA consultants conference consultant have backed a motion (88%) protecting their right to freedom of expression. This included the ability to speak out on matters of public conscience, international conflict & humanitarian law.
Consultants called for GMC to protect that important right.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

🚨On Tuesday the Prime Minister will order MPs to vote to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury. It’s a move that will set us on a path to toward authoritarian justice.

MPs must step up and tell him NO

NEW: Watch this report just in from CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. It is raining oil in Tehran this morning.

A city of 10 million is being actively poisoned.

Yesterday, Trump stood in front of the world and said the "next one is gonna be Cuba".

He is intentionally starving the people of Cuba, cutting off their revenue, and plunging the country into darkness.

Cuba tried to negotiate too, just like Iran, but as we all know, this means nothing to the US.

Israel is using the β€˜Gaza doctrine’ in Lebanon and Iran For years, Israel used the β€œDahiya doctrine” in Gaza. Now it’s using the β€œGaza doctrine” in Dahiya β€” and Tehran.

READ: Israel developed a doctrine of total societal destruction that is used in Gaza β€” and is now deploying it in Lebanon and Iran with full US backing.

This is one of the most important things you'll read today: mondoweiss.net/2026/03/isra...

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised β€˜trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

UK Gave Β£90k to Sexual Violence Report Central to Israel’s Genocide Propaganda Exclusive: The Foreign Office funded a sexual violence report subsequently used in a Β£33m Israeli campaign to whitewash its genocide in Gaza. Rivkah Brown reports.

Mindblowing story. The UK met most of the costs of a key propaganda tool used by the Israeli Government to launder its genocide in Gaza - then tried to cover up the fact it had done so.

I don't think the SNP deserve both my votes because they've not done enough in my opinion. The land reform legislation was poor - and we still have the council tax. Plus the misguided faith in carbon capture and storage. The Greens are better on many issues.

The Iranian Navy warship IRIS Dena had just left the Indian MILAN 2026 naval exercises after it's completion. The condition for taking part was that the ships were unarmed.
The US torpedoed it anyway and, against the international law of the sea, did not assist in the rescue mission.

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield β€” Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.
