French court orders Twitter to reveal anti-hate speech efforts

French anti-discrimination groups took Twitter to court last year, accusing it of 'long-term and persistent' failures in blocking hateful comments.
A French court on Tuesday ordered Twitter to give activists full access to all of its documents relating to its efforts to fight racism, sexism and other forms of hate speech on the social network.

Six anti-discrimination groups had taken Twitter to court in France last year, accusing the US social media giant of "long-term and persistent" failures in blocking hateful comments from the site.

The Paris court ordered Twitter to grant the campaign groups full access to all documents relating to the company's efforts to combat hate speech since May 2020. The ruling applies to Twitter's global operation, not just France.

Comment: It's quite telling that one half of Twitter users are complaining of censorship while the other half are begging for more.

The widow of John McAfee, the founder of the antivirus software McAfee, says that she "does not accept" that her husband died by suicide last month.

"The investigation into John's death is still ongoing but I will share what information I can, when I can," Janice McAfee said in a statement posted on Twitter Tuesday.

"Until then, I do not accept the 'suicide' story that has been spread by the malignant cancer that is the MSM [mainstream media]," she wrote. "They and their unnamed sources are not to be trusted."

mRNA vaccine inventor erased from history books

robert malone
June 11, 2021, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology,1 Dr. Robert Malone, spoke out on the DarkHorse podcast about the potential dangers of COVID-19 gene therapy injections, hosted by Bret Weinstein, Ph.D. The podcast was quickly erased from YouTube and Weinstein was issued a warning.

To censor a scientific discussion with the actual inventor of the technology used to manufacture these COVID-19 shots is beyond shocking. But the censorship of Malone goes even further than that. As reported in the video above, Malone's scientific accomplishments are also being scrubbed.

Wikipedia Scrubs Malone's Scientific Contributions

As recently as June 14, 2021, Malone's contributions were extensively included in the historical section on RNA vaccines' Wikipedia page. He was listed as having co-developed a "high-efficiency in-vitro and in-vivo RNA transfection system using cationic liposomes" in 1989.

In 1990, he demonstrated that "in-vitro transcribed mRNA could deliver genetic information into the cell to produce proteins within living cell tissue." Malone was also part of the team that conducted the first mRNA vaccine experiments. In short, his scientific knowledge of mRNA vaccines is unquestionable.

wikipedia malone 1
Two days later, June 16, 2021, just five days after Malone's appearance on the DarkHorse podcast, his name was removed from the Wikipedia entry. Now, all of a sudden, the discovery of mRNA drug delivery is accredited to nameless researchers at the Salk Institute and the University of California, and his 1990 research confirming that injected mRNA can produce proteins in cell tissue is accredited to nameless scientists at the University of Wisconsin.

French prosecutors are investigating claims that a Saudi prince kept seven employees in a state of modern-day slavery at an apartment he owned outside Paris.

The inquiry for human trafficking was opened after the women, mostly from the Philippines aged 38 -51, filed complaints of modern-day slavery in October 2019, said the prosecutors' office in the suburb city of Nanterre.

The maids had been recruited in Saudi Arabia and worked for the prince and his family for several years.

They were allegedly paid the equivalent of 300 euros a month and said they were forced to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Edinburgh school cancels To Kill a Mockingbird as book 'promotes white saviour narrative'

A Scottish secondary school will no longer teach the classic novel To Kill A Mockingbird after teachers claimed the book promotes a "white saviour" narrative.

Another reason the English department at James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh wants to scrap the book by American author Harper Lee from its reading list is because of the N-word is used more than 40 times.

The book, published in 1960, is widely studied in schools to explore the theme of racial injustice.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, published in 1937, will also no longer be taught at the school because of its "dated" representation of black people.

The Covid Cult has been slowly killing America's economy and there's not much time left

Pit and Pendulum
Sometimes it's important to step away from a problem in order to better understand it. I recently went on a trip across the Pacific Northwest to revisit some old stomping grounds and to take a break from the often disconcerting developments of today's world, at least for a little while. We all need a vacation from the information war at times, and though I was happy for the rest, I am also happy to be back. After traveling on the road across four states I was able to gauge the general condition of the US in terms of the social and economic effects of the pandemic mandates and covid propaganda. I have some good news, and some bad news...

The good news is that the propaganda has not been all that effective in most places. The overall picture looks something like this:

In the majority of rural and semi-rural areas, as well as cities in red counties regardless of the state, the majority of people were NOT wearing masks and the bulk of businesses were not demanding that people wear them. The vaccine ads and propaganda were also at a minimum. This includes Washington State and Oregon, which have been notorious lately for their draconian restrictions. While Washington has technically lifted mandates (starting only a couple days ago), the pressure to vaccinate is ever present there. Oregon was the worst state I passed through in terms of business pressure and mob pressure, but even in most towns I visited the ratio of masked cultists to normal unmasked people was around 50/50.

Most of the businesses I entered said nothing to me about not wearing a mask. And, so far there doesn't seem to be any major push for vaccine passports, though, I suspect this will come soon enough.

Notorious law firm Perkins Coie ripped by Justice Society's Daugherty: Trying to 'parachute' into GA election case that could flip US Senate

We wrote in May about the infamous law firm Perkins Coie (PC) trying to parachute into Georgia, again, in an attempt to stop the lawsuit that has the potential to turn the U.S. Senate red.

In his motion filed on May 5th, contestant Michael Daugherty of TheJusticeSociety.com cited three reasons why this should not happen.
  1. Attorneys in the PC firm are likely to be called as witnesses and asked to produce evidence in their possession concerning the reliability of Dominion election systems, thus creating an unavoidable conflict of interest...
  2. PC has threatened independent, third party service providers with criminal prosecution for participating in an ongoing civil investigation conducted by the Arizona State Senate...
  3. The Fifth Circuit recently sanctioned PC for burdening the court and opposing counsel in another election case...

Comment: Marc Elias is an exemplar of legal and political sleaze.

Israeli forces attack children's center in Jenin refugee camp: Destroy books, toys, water and electrical systems

For the past three years, the Brighton Trust, the charity of which I am a trustee, together with activists from the National Education Union in Britain, have been raising funds for Al-Tafawk Children's Centre in Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

The centre, which is run by local volunteers, is the only one of its kind in the camp, which hosts around 14,000 Palestinian refugees made homeless by the establishment of Israel in 1948. It provides around 120 children aged three to 16 with play, education and food, as well as a warm welcome.

It is the only source of amusement they have to turn to in the bleak surroundings of the camp, which in 2002 during the Second Intifada lost dozens of residents in an Israeli army massacre and more than 400 homes in a brutal bulldozing campaign in yet another act of Israeli collective punishment of Palestinian civilians. The camp has been subjected to regular military incursions ever since.

Inspector Emmet Daly said that there was no desire on the part of gardaí to have the defendant, Margaraet Buttimer, in custody but that her offending was not stopping.
A pensioner who opted not to receive the Covid-19 vaccine is to go on trial next Monday for allegedly flouting government pandemic guidelines by not wearing a face mask whilst shopping in west Cork.


Comment: They're 'guidelines' but they must be followed, under threat of jail time?


Margaret Buttimer, aged 66, of The Cottage, St Fintan's Road, Bandon, Co Cork, spent the weekend in Limerick Prison after she failed to keep the terms of her bail which involved her staying away from shops and other premises frequented by members of the public.

Today at Bandon District Court Ms Buttimer pleaded not guilty to her two most recent alleged breaches of the Public Health Act. She opted to go on trial for the offences with the case being heard next Monday.
