‘Who?’ – Argentina’s Milei Does Not Know Who British Superfan, Grifting Ex-PM Liz Truss Is. 

Liz Truss, the former British prime minister posing as an anti-woke crusader in the United States, claims Argentina’s President Javier Milei is her favorite Conservative Party leader, despite the fact he is not a member of the Conservative Party. Nor British. Milei, when asked for his thoughts on the ex-premier, however, did not even know who she is.

“Liz Truss recently said that you were her favorite conservative leader. Do you admire her?” Milei was asked during a recent interview.

Milei, looking perplexed, could only answer, “Who?”

Being told she was the previous British prime minister did not appear to kindle any memories. “I do not have elements to give an opinion,” he said, indicating he is not at all familiar with Truss.

Truss is the shortest-reigning prime minister in British history. Having been ousted within months, she has attempted to reinvent herself as a culture warrior and champion of libertarian-style economics. However, as a government minister for around a decade, she frequently empowered woke civil servants and advanced woke ideology, particularly as Minister for Women and Equalities.

By background, she was initially a Liberal Democrat. She was also a fierce opponent of Brexit when European Union loyalism was the official position of the Conservative leadership, but claimed to have undergone a Damascene conversion after they lost the EU referendum.

Govt Scientists Ignored ‘Gobsmacking’ Evidence of COVID Lab Leak.

Government scientific advisors and officials ignored “gobsmacking” evidence COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology because they did not want to be seen as supporting Donald Trump’s lab leak accusations against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Then-U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo briefed colleagues from Five Eyes — the intelligence-sharing alliance comprised of the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand — that it was “highly likely” the virus was man-made in January 2021.

“We saw several pieces of information and thought that they were, frankly, gobsmacking,” said a former official whose research contributed to Pompeo’s report. “They obviously pointed to the high likelihood that this was indeed a lab leak.”

British officials, however, chose to ignore this evidence, suggesting accusations of Chinese responsibility for the pandemic were a “radioactive political issue.”

“Once the thing became fundamentally political, the ability to pursue it internationally really just collapsed because no one else was interested in touching it,” one source admitted.

Publicly, the notionally right-wing then-Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, claimed, “The advice that we have had is that it doesn’t look as though this particular disease of zoonotic origin came from a lab.”

Now Donald Trump is no longer in office, the narrative has shifted, with senior politicians such as Michael Gove, a contemporary and current British Cabinet member, admitting there was a “significant body of judgment that believes that the virus itself was man-made.”

Top U.S. health official Anthony Fauci also downplayed the possibility of a lab leak origin for the Wuhan virus during the pandemic and shielded China from criticism. After his retirement, he admitted the lab leak theory was not a conspiracy theory after all.

Fauci is accused of assisting the “gain of function” virus research in China referenced in Pompeo’s report.

Sadiq Khan Has Won a 3rd Term As London Mayor.

Sadiq Khan, a member of the Labour Party, is predicted to be re-elected as Mayor of London for a third term, as stated by the BBC’s polling expert, Professor Sir John Curtice. More than half of London’s eight constituencies have been calculated, featuring two formerly Conservative areas where Labour has now prevailed. Mr. Khan is currently leading with approximately 43% of the vote, against his Conservative opposition, Susan Hall’s 33%. This reflects a 2.5% shift from Conservative to Labour.

Voter participation was reduced marginally by 1.5% in comparison to 2021, for a total turnout of 40.5%. As of Saturday morning, the ballot counting has begun and it’s anticipated that the final result will be unveiled by Saturday evening.

Mr. Khan’s key offerings include a one-year fare freeze on public transport and provision of four years of free school meals for seven to 11-year-old students.

Muslim Cop Charged After Posting Support for Terror Faction.

Police officer Mohammed Adil has been suspended from his duties following allegations he promoted Hamas on messaging platform WhatsApp. Westminster Magistrates’ Court is set to hear terrorism charges against the 26-year-old policeman from Calderdale in West Yorkshire, England.

The investigation into Police Constable Adil was carried out by counter-terrorism officers directed by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which regulates English police forces. PC Adil has been charged with two counts of publishing an image in support of a proscribed organization in contravention of the Terrorism Act.

“A West Yorkshire Police officer, PC Mohammed Adil, serving in Calderdale District, has been suspended since his arrest. This is part of a Counter Terrorism Policing North East investigation, under the direction of the Independent Office for Police Conduct,” the West Yorkshire Police force has confirmed in a statement.

Among British Muslims generally, polling has found 46 percent sympathize with Hamas in its current conflict with Israel. Just three percent sympathize more with Israel, while 36 percent said they do not sympathize “more” with either side.

West Yorkshire Police has faced several controversies in recent years. One involved a short-haired policewoman who entered the home of an autistic minor late at night and had her arrested for saying she resembled her “lesbian nana.” The force initially defended the incident, which was captured on video, but later dropped proceedings against the minor and had the “lesbian” officer apologize to the girl.

British police forces have often appeared reluctant to act against Islamism more broadly. In 2023, London’s Metropolitan Police force defended anti-Israel protestors calling openly for “jihad,” claiming the word has “a number of meanings.”

However, the protestors were calling for jihad in explicit reference to waging a holy war against Israel.

OnlyFans Under Investigation for Allowing Kids Access to Porn.

OnlyFans, the subscription service ‘content creator’ site used mainly by pornography-producing sex workers, is under investigation over concerns it is failing to prevent children from accessing explicit adult content. Fenix International Limited, OnlyFans’ parent company, is being investigated by the UK‘s Office of Communications (Ofcom) for its alleged failure to implement adequate age verification measures and failure to comply with government information requests.

“We are investigating whether OnlyFans has contravened its duties to implement appropriate measures (taken under Schedule 15A) to protect under-18s from encountering restricted material such as pornography,” Ofcom wrote. “We are also looking at whether OnlyFans failed to provide complete and accurate responses to statutory information requests.”

The porn site maintained in a statement that it has experienced “a coding configuration issue” affecting some “age thresholds” but insists it “works closely” with regulators to “implement and develop best-practices on online safety.” The company asserts that its age thresholds are always set above 18.

While OnlyFans faces scrutiny in the UK for inadequate age-verification measures, such protections are not even in place for children in much of the U.S. After Texas passed a law requiring age-verification on pornography websites, Texas AG Ken Paxton sued PornHub for refusing to implement such verification. The controversial website eventually decided to suspend service in Texas rather than take measures to protect children from its pornographic content.

How Climate Targets and Transgenderism Forced Scotland’s Far-Left Leader to Resign.

First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf has resigned ahead of a vote of no confidence he was expected to lose in the Scottish Parliament. His left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP), in power since 2007, had broken its coalition agreement with the Scottish Green Party, who signaled they would support the opposition Scottish Conservative and Labour parties in a vote to oust him.

Facing difficulties in the polls, Yousaf angered the Greens by saying he would scrap goals to slash carbon emissions by 75 percent compared to 1990 levels by 2030. These appeared impossible to achieve and were contributing to rising energy bills.

The parties also fell out over transgenderism. The SNP had previously championed self-identification and other pro-trans policies but was politically damaged when such policies resulted in a double rapist transitioning after his arrest and being sent to a women’s prison.

The Greens were angered when the SNP allowed the socialized National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland to stop giving so-called “trans kids” puberty blockers, following the lead of the English NHS.

During his resignation speech, Yousaf said people should “celebrate” his stint in power as an example of successful multiculturalism, noting, “We now live in a UK that has a British-Hindu prime minister, a Muslim mayor of London, a black Welsh first minister and for a little while longer, a Scots Asian first minister.”

Yousaf is best known outside Scotland for a viral speech in the Scottish Parliament, in which he expressed fury at the number of white people with influential jobs in Scotland. He gained international recognition for passing the most draconian anti-speech laws in the West, making “stirring up hatred” a crime. The law is so expansive that police guidance warns it even covers comedy shows.

Bannon: Farage Can Take Over Tories Like MAGA Runs GOP.

War Room host and former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon has predicted Brexit leader Nigel Farage will return to frontline politics and become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after the governing Conservative Party loses the next British general election to Labour.

“I’ve been a huge supporter of Nigel’s to get back in this thing in some official capacity. I think Nigel Farage will be Prime Minister after Sir Keir [Starmer],” Bannon said, referring to the Labour leader. Labour is on course for a landslide victory in the next election.

“My advice to [Farage] is after the slaughter [the Conservatives] are going to have at the polls [due to] not really standing for anything, that’s time for Nigel,” Bannon continued. However, he suggested Farage should not seek high office via the Reform Party, his current affiliation, but instead take over the Conservatives.

‘GRASSROOTS UPWARDS.’

“I was a big advocate of not starting a third party after the 2020 election was stolen,” Bannon explained. He highlighted the MAGA movement’s “precinct strategy” of taking over the Republican Party from the grassroots upwards.

“In the last four months, we essentially removed Mitch McConnell as the minority leader in the Senate,” said Bannon. We took out the Republican Party senior apparatus, all of them gone,” he said, referring to what National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam called the “McLeadership.”

“And we fired a sitting Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, for the first time in the history of the Republic, and right now, we have a second Speaker in our gunsights,” he added, referring to Speaker Mike Johnson. Johnson faces criticism for allowing aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan to go through without meaningful border security measures. He also faces criticism for drawing fire away from Joe Biden over Gaza.

“I would tell our brothers and sisters in the United Kingdom, you can do this at the grassroots level,” Bannon stressed. “Nigel Farage is a populist; Nigel Farage is a nationalist. You need to put Great Britain first, the United Kingdom first, and you need, particularly, to put your citizens first,” he said.

Anti-Woke Actor & Activist Ordered to Pay $225K for Calling Drag-Obsessives ‘Pedophiles.’

A high court judge in London ordered actor and right-wing activist Laurence Fox to pay £180,000 (~$224,748) in damages to two people whom he called ‘pedophile’ [sic] online. Fox — founder of the right-wing populist Reclaim party — was the subject of a libel case for referring to Simon Blake, an ex-trustee of LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall, and a drag performer named Colin Seymour as “pedophiles,” after the two accused him of being a “racist” on X (formerly Twitter).

In October 2020, Fox announced he was boycotting UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s for its support of black history month. Fox’s announcement was met with accusations of racism by Blake and Seymour, as well as broadcaster Nicola Thorp. Fox responded to the allegations by calling his three detractors pedophiles. In response, Blake and Seymour sued Fox for libel.

The order to pay the two men £90,000 (~$112,374) each follows Fox’s losing his court bottle in January. Fox had counter-sued Blake and Seymour, claiming the pair’s allegations of racism were “reputation-destroying” and “career-ending.” He claimed they resulted in a “significant decline” in work.

“Mr. Fox’s labeling of Mr. Blake and Mr. Seymour as pedophiles was, on the evidence… seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless,” said Justice Collins Rice. “The law affords few defenses to defamation of this sort. Mr Fox did not attempt to show these allegations were true, and he was not able to bring himself on the facts within the terms of any other defense recognized in law.” The judge also said that the tweets calling Fox ‘racist’ were unlikely to harm his reputation.

During the trial, Fox maintained he was a victim of racism. “There’s huge quantities of anti-right white racism in the world. It’s the only acceptable form of racism there is left.”

British Army Running Out of Munitions Ukraine

Britain is Running Out of Munitions After Arming Ukraine.

Supplying President Volodymyr Zelensk’s forces in Ukraine with Western arms and ammunition has badly depleted Britain’s military stocks, the Minister of State for Defence Procurement has revealed. James Cartlidge of the Conservative Party says the war has left Britain short of tanks, missiles, and munitions.

“[T]here’s been huge support for the way that the UK has stood by Ukraine providing huge numbers of munitions, Storm Shadow [missiles], tanks and so on,” Cartlidge said — exaggerating Britain’s contributions, considering only 14 main battle tanks could be spared from the country’s tiny fleet.

“I think the public wants to know that in doing that, we are replenishing our own stocks and munitions,” he added, confirming the government would have to spend “£10 billion ($12.48 billion) more for munitions.”

It has previously been reported that the British Army would run out of munitions in just ten days of full-scale warfare, speaking to the parlous state of the many European NATO members militaries.

The U.S., which has carried NATO for many years, is also running short on munitions. Biden was forced to consider sending arms to Ukraine without replenishing U.S. stocks. He has already been forced to begin sending Ukraine cluster bombs, outlawed by many NATO members due to their tendency to kill and maim civilians years after their initial use, due to a shortage of conventional munitions.

Russia is believed to be outpacing the West in artillery shell production by three-to-one. Artillery has been vital to the fighting in Ukraine, with Zelensky estimating his forces need a minimum of four million shells. However, the U.S. can only produce 360,000 a year, causing war skeptics such as Senator J.D. Vance to question the wisdom of prolonging the war at U.S. taxpayer expense.

Britain’s Ex-Immigration Minister Admits Migrants Are CRUSHING National Prosperity, Not Raising It.

Mass migration is causing a housing crisis while failing to increase wealth per person, according to Robert Jenrick, who resigned as Minister of State for immigration at the end of 2023. Jenrick, who previously served as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government under Boris Johnson, warned the British government has become “hooked” on mass migration — but it is not improving the economy and amounts to a “betrayal to voters.”

A reduction in net legal immigration “from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands” was promised by Jenrick’s Conservative Party ahead of the 2010, 2015, and 2017 elections, and an “overall” reduction was promised ahead of the 2019 election. The Brexit campaign was also fought mainly on an anti-immigration basis. However, the Conservatives increased net immigration from 196,000 in 2009 to 745,000 in 2022, and illegal immigration is also at unprecedented levels.

“[T]he economic model that we’ve become hooked on isn’t working,” Jenrick admitted. “If importing hundreds of thousands of foreign workers to the UK was a route to prosperity, the UK would be one of the richest countries in the world. Instead, for almost the last two years we’ve had a recession in GDP per capita… I care about the prosperity of our own citizens, not the overall size of the economy.”

HOUSING CRISIS. 

Jenrick stressed that government “modeling of the benefits of immigration has consistently overlooked the fiscal costs arising from pressure on housing, public services, and welfare.” On housing, in particular, he noted that the country currently would “have to build a house every five minutes, day and night, purely to keep up with the level of net migration to this country” — a feat that is not being accomplished, driving up home prices and rents and causing severe shortages of public housing.

The United States also suffers due to dogmatic beliefs that immigration benefits the economy. In early April, globalist media outlet Semafor argued “[t]he border crisis might be a boon for the economy,” citing an economist who formerly worked at Joe Biden’s White House.

The cost of housing, feeding, and otherwise caring for illegal aliens is costing billions of dollars across multiple states, near and far from the southern border.
