Alfie Noakes comments

You'd have to be insane to eat any of this:

"EIA’s research over the past 15 years shows that cetacean products from Japan's coastal hunts consistently exceed the Government of Japan's recommended safe limits for pollutants such as mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Of the 341 products tested for mercury during that period, 56 per cent exceeded the Government provisional recommended limit for fish and shellfish. In the most recent tests, conducted in 2015, all 20 products exceeded the Government limit for mercury. The maximum concentration recorded in 2015 was found in a product labelled as long-finned pilot whale; it contained 19 parts per million (ppm) total mercury, a concentration 47 times higher than the safe limit. Published studies by Japanese scientists have documented pollutant levels several hundreds of times higher than the Government’s recommended levels. Indeed, some products tested have carried such high pollutant loads that they could cause acute mercury poisoning from a single meal."

Here's the whole 2015 report:

And Harris is where on this?

She's married to her AIPAC handler. She and Trump were competing to show who supports the Zionist genocide harder at the "debate". She repeated fake, debunked claims about October 7th. Zionist is Nazism. Harris and the Democrats support the genocide, just like Trump and the Republicans.

The vaccination drive, launched after doctors discovered the first polio case in the Palestinian enclave in 25 years, aims to vaccinate 640,000 children during a war that has destroyed Gaza's health care system.

Vaccinated, only because the Israelis are terrified of polio spreading to Tel Aviv, and then these small children had their legs blown off the very next day.

Israel isn't a country, it's a sadistic, genocidal death cult, supported by Western governments.

A desperate attempt to distract attention from the US and UK arming, funding and supporting the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.

We've reached a point where nothing that comes out of the mouths of these people can be believed. Nothing.

the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor, Rami Abdel Rahman, told AFP.

Not this guy again. The grand-sounding Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is in fact a one man blog run from his kitchen by Mr. Rahman, whose day job is managing a clothes shop in Coventry with his wife.

How does a clothes shop owner in Coventry source such detailed information and why is he endlessly quoted in the Western media as the go-to expert on Syria? The obvious answer is obvious: he's an Mi6 cutout funded by the British Government.

You have been branded “CIA Renee” by trolls insinuating that you have secret ties with the US intelligence agency.

Comedy gold.

Here's Alex Stamos, former Chief Security Officer for Facebook and her boss at Stanford, introducing DiResta at some event last year. DiResta he says, "has gone out and worked for the CIA".

https://x.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1633824045652221954

So Alex Stamos is an internet troll. Funny. This sudden resuscitation of the fake Russian Interference story is clearly an attempt to distract from the astonishing corruption of the entire US political elite by AIPAC and Zionist dollars.

And The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff is a must read!

Very misleading title

AP and other western state/corporate media outlets do this all the time. These Israelis aren't protesting the genocide, they're protesting Netanyahu's failure to negotiate a release of the "hostages". The protesters actually support the genocide and want more murder, rape, land theft and ethnic cleansing, not less.

AP's response to all those social media stories about Chinese scientists fleeing the USA in droves.

Good luck to them.

In other Ukraine-in-Japan news this week, the Ukrainian ambassador Sergiy Korsunsky visted Yasukuni Shrine on September 3rd, the day after the 79th anniversary of Japan's surrender in WW2. Needless to say, a lot of people across Asia are not happy with this.....

In a separate incident on Friday near Beita, in the village of Qaryut, a 13-year-old girl was killed by Israeli gunfire, Palestinian health officials said, after settlers attacked the village.

Thomson Reuters can't even be bothered to print her name, but it was Bana Amjad Bakr. 13 years old, shot in the chest while she was in her own home.

I suspect they avoid Iran Contra, supporting death squads, American financed drug dealing that started an epidemic, runaway financial robbery, neo-liberal 'reforms' that started taxing social benefits while cutting corporate taxes and those on the wealthy, increasing inequality, inner city poverty and racial dog whistles, a lot to get into.

The hyper-politicization of fundamentalist Christianity and the rise of hate radio too.

No mention of Amado Sison, the American teacher from New Jersey shot by the IDF in August?

“My trust is in the movement and the people rather than politicians, because we see time and time again what they vote for. But at the same time, as an international volunteer that gets hurt by an ‘allied army,’ I would like for some kind of admission that they condemn it or something, even though nothing else happens,” Sison told me. “The money I pay in my taxes as a teacher probably funded the bullet they have run through me,” he said.

This article refers to tear gas and live rounds fired at the protestors.

The Track AIPAC website has now added a page for the UK, so British people as well as Americans can follow exactly which of their politicians have been bought by AIPAC and the Israel lobby in the UK.

Believing a claim by the Israeli regime is like believing a claim by Trump. If being taken in by lies and distortions almost every time doesn't make you stop believing them, there's nothing anyone can say or show you that'll make you stop. And that includes media outlets.

Britain's Ministry of Defence paid Reuters to produce anti-Russian news stories for 20 years. It's probable even more unreliable than AP, which is quite remarkable since AP actually worked with Adolf Hitler in pre-war Germany.

In other genocide news, Elon Musk has begun to provide Starlink services to Israeli-occupied territories in the north of Israel.

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/elon-musk-s-starlink-arrives-in--israel--for-use-in-occupied

So now Musk is attempting to overthrow the elected governments of Brazil and Venezuela, supports the genocide in Gaza, believes Harris is a communist and says he will vote for Trump.

Scratch a liberal and find a fascist, indeed.

Still no arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant from the ICC, despite the prosecutor Karim Khan requesting the warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes back in May?

Ah yes, the Gaza and West Bank genocide is being armed, funded and supported by the US government and taxpayers, and Netanyahu was enthusiastically received in Washington when he addressed the Congress in July.

The military said all six hostages were killed shortly before Israeli forces arrived.

Lies, just as everything that comes out of the mouths of these genocidal monsters is a lie. These 'hostages' were dead last week, murdered by the Israeli air force in a failed rescue attempt, with bombs funded by American tax payers.

Netanyahu and Blinken are to blame. They don't want a ceasefire, they just want endless murder, ethnic cleansing, land theft. Barbarians.

The US edges ever closer to one-party, corporate fascist genocidal state.

French President Emmanuel Macron, who is known to be an avid user of the app, has said Durov's arrest was "in no way a political decision," adding France supports lawful free speech.

A hearty laugh is a fine way to start the day. Macron called an election in which the left and centre-left won the most seats; he refused to allow them to form a government and name a Prime Minister, then joined forces with the Fascists to keep the Left out. Every man and his dog knows the recent censorship of US-owned social media is politically motivated.

The Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has called for the US-taxpayer funded genocide in Gaza to be replicated in the West Bank. "We must deal with the threat just as we deal with the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, including the temporary evacuation of Palestinian residents and whatever steps are required,” he wrote on social media. “This is a war for all terms and purposes and we must win it.”

https://us.cnn.com/2024/08/28/middleeast/israel-operation-west-bank-intl-hnk/index.html

Evil beyond words, all funded, armed and supported by the US and its allies.

Classic smoking blowing from the west determined to censor information and anything they can't control.

Western governments couldn't couldn't control Telegram, so they arrested Telegram's CEO in France. They couldn't control TikTok, so they're forcing them to sell to American billionaires. They couldn't control Wikileaks, so they arrested and tortured Julian Assange for 12 years. They couldn't control Rumble, so they banned Rumble in France and the owner has fled Europe.

It's not hard to see what's happening here:

Comedy gold.

We are forced to pay NHK to spread the dishonest, chauvinist, militarist, anti-China propaganda of the LDP.

Can't Pay! Won't Pay!

In local elections, definitely.

Some years back there used to be huge storehouses, government warehouses full of rice, floor to ceiling. Are they saying that too is all gone?

A few years ago I was told by a woman who worked as a rice trader for a major trading company (and visited MAFF frequently) that the J. government was treaty bound to import X tons of foreign rice every year. That rice, mainly Thai IIRC, was stored at vast expense to the tax payer and then sent abroad as foreign aid, because Japanese people wouldn't eat it. One assumes they're still doing it...

The Ketagalan Forum is funded and organised by the Taiwanese government and something called the Prospect Foundation, using tax-payers money. Haley is the latest in a long line of washed-up Western politicians taking Taiwanese tax-payers' money to denounce China and reclaim a brief moment in the media limelight. Last year the British idiot Liz Truss was paid £80,000 for a speech, Mike Pompeo got $150,000 a couple of years ago and Pelosi was paid a king's ransom, by all accounts. Money for old rope.

The people have no say in his selection and no idea of his policy proposals.

That's Democracy!

When the one party in the One Party State decides to change leaders they could at least call a general election and pretend to be a democracy.

The people have no say in his selection and no idea of his policy proposals

I think everyone knows exactly what they will be.

The ceasefire scam continues. Blinken goes to Israel with a plan deliberately designed to be unacceptable to Hamas, claims that Netanyahu has accepted it and demands that Hamas accepts it. Hamas rejects it, then a few days later Netanyahu admits he didn't accept anything. Meanwhile the mass murder, starvation, sexual torture, land theft and genocide continues.

Israel is run by the government of Satan himself

We all know who is running this genocide and it isn't Satan. It's real human beings: live-streaming the sexual torture of prisoners in concentration camps, firing body-shredding RX9 missiles in to crowds of children, murdering doctors who record crimes against children, torturing doctors to death, murdering entire families, stealing land, destroying hospitals, schools, mosques, churches, universities. Crimes against humanity and war crimes, committed by Zionists, funded, armed and trained by the US, UK, Germany and Italy. They are beyond evil.

UK media site "Bellingcat " reports satellite imagery shows at least 20 cemeteries in Gaza have been bulldozed /and/or bombed by IDF.

That site is an MI6/CIA propaganda conduit run by a former lingerie salesman. They may be right in this instance but that name isn't mentioned in polite company any more...

Xenophobic drivel that insults both Japanese and "foreigners".
