Caprichos do Destino - Whims of Fate (translated by me) If God, one day, looked down upon the earth and saw my status, he would surely understand my desperate journey, and having the rudder of fate within His hands, He would not leave me like this, making these mistakes. It's painful, but unfortunately it's the truth. I shouldn't even think of happiness that I cannot have. Though I feel rebellion within my breast. It's very sad not to have the right even to live. I have never managed to see a dream realized. However modest and dull, it has always been denied to me. So, my God, frankly I must give up. I must not insist on pushing against the whims of fate. I want to escape the torment to which I am condemned. I want to leave this life where I have been defeated. I am a coward, I know perfectly well, the right thing to do is to carry the cross till the end. But I cannot. It is too heavy for me. It's painful, but unfortunately it's the truth. I shouldn't even think of happiness that I cannot have. Though I feel rebellion within my breast. It's very sad not to have the right even to live. Caprichos do destino Se Deus um dia olhasse a terra e visse o meu estado Na certa compreenderia o meu trilhar desesperado E tendo ele em suas mãos o leme dos destinos Não deixar-me-ia assim, a cometer desatinos É doloroso, mas infelizmente é a verdade Eu não devia nem sequer pensar numa felicidade Que não posso ter Mas sinto uma revolta dentro do meu peito É muito triste não se ter direito nem de viver Jamais consegui um sonho ver concretizado Por mais modesto e banal sempre me foi negado Assim, meu Deus, francamente devo desistir Contra os caprichos da sorte eu não devo insistir Eu quero fugir ao suplício a que estou condenado Eu quero deixar esta vida onde eu fui derrotado Sou um covarde, bem sei que o direito é levar a cruz até o fim Mas não posso é pesada demais para mim É doloroso, mas infelizmente é a verdade.....

Long waffle from the lunatic ruining America with excuses for why he's going to postpone genocide he was promising, for two weeks. Armageddon, isn't cancelled, just on hold.

quotation from George Orwell's novel Nineteen-eighty-four. The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
cartoon from NewsThump satirising how farcical the UK Parliamentary rules are following a recent rebuke within the UK House of Commons of MP Dawn Butler for complaining that Reform Party MP Sarah Pochin's racist criticism of 'tv adverts featuring black and Asian people makes her angry', a blatantly racist remark, made her a racist. Dawn Butler was obligated to retract her accusation of the Sarah Pochim being a racist because it's unacceptable in parliamentary rules to call an MP a racist, even when it's totally understood that what they said or did was indeed racist. Cartoon shows a white man scowling and holding a tv remote control with the caption Derek was furious, not one tv advert all evening had included an angry middle-aged sofa-bound racist.

Corrected quotation: Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone. Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943
AI generated Video showing entirely possible developments from the use of Digital ID in the UK.
A female pensioner stands in a walking-aid frame and is holding a smartphone with the implication that it has just beeped her the message: BRITCARD Congratulations on completing 50 steps. You are now offically fit for work. This is just one risk of the abuse of Digital ID which the UK Prime Minister without any election manifesto mandate to do so, is planning to implement despite intense objections from every area of society.
If we let the government take our freedom during an emergenct, it'll create an endless string of emergencies to take our freedom.

from @coldwarsteve on X Donald Trump is currently being lavished with estimated £12,000,000 UK taxpayer-funded luxury in yet another State Visit to the UK, while peaceful protesters projecting images of Trump & Epstein are arrested on questionable grounds. Trump is currently being fêted to a banquet with the King of England at Windsor Castle. Shown here: Trump, the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson are in a luxury Roman style bath while Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Camillla, King Charles, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper another person I don't recognise (maybe Andrew tate) and a Nigel Farage with a mocking smile are clad in Roman style togas are acting as servants and handmaidens.
claim (I have not verified from @StevePowers_ on X but traced to https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/labours-new-dark-arts-strategy/ ) "Mandelson and McSweeney running a blackmail operation in 2001" In the early 2000s McSweeney worked on Mandelson's Excalibur system, a database which New Labour used to gather information about internal political rivals and intimidate recusant party members. Also, several Labout MPs told me how Mandelson had shown them Excalibur printouts and thereatened them with action if they stepped out of line.
Performative Police Tents outisde former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's home, for a wildy excessive and protracted period with deliberately damaging optics, investingating SNP donations for over a year, at great expense to the tax payer, to find no criminal activity whatsoever.
Keir Starmer Tweet from ten days ago following Cabinet reshuffle... Phase two of my government starts today.
"He has no morals, values, principles, and he'll defend Peter Mandelson up until the point he thinks he needs to for his own career." Zack Polanski pulls no punches on Keir Starmer.
Judges Strike down the right to protest. Incorporates a Banksy artwork denoting a judge bashing with a gavel, a protester holding a blank placard which appeared overnight outside the UK High Court. The UK government will eradicate this artwork which portrays them in the light of brutally denying people freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
When exposing a crime is treated as a crime, you are ruled by criminals.

The police and the military have always been separate for a reason. One serves and protects the people, and the other fights enemies of the state. When the military does both, the enemies of the state tend to become the people. Cmdr William Adamt

Cartoon from Salt Lake Tribune by Pat Bagley... Quotes from Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Nuremberg Trial and Elon Musk examining empathy. Empathy is patiently and sincerely seeing the world through the other person's eyes - Einstein. The death of human empathy is one of the early and most telling signs that a culture is about to fall into barbarism - Hannah Arndt. It is the one characteristic that connects all the defendants - a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think is the lack of empathy. Capt. Gilbert, Psychologist assigned to study Nazi defendants at the Nuremberg Trials. The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, Elon Musk.
Graphic demonstrating the philosophical paradox of Tolerance where a free and open society that tolerates everything, even intolerant views (such as those held by Nazis) will be destroyed by those holding such intolerant views and must therefore protect itself from intolerance by outlawing intolerant movements.
