Not a Starmer fan but if he's pissed off mr tangerine man he's gone up in my estimation.

"US president warns against closer ties with China during British PM’s trip to secure lower tariffs and better market access.

Donald Trump has warned the UK against doing business with China, just hours after Keir Starmer lauded the economic relationship during a landmark visit to Beijing.

The US president said it was “very dangerous” for the UK to pursue closer ties with the rival superpower as the prime minister’s three-hour talks with Xi Jinping underlined a thaw in previously strained relations."

One of the largest sources of disinformation over the past 25 years, Alex Jones' InfoWars, appears to be no more. He has agreed to liquidate the company in bankruptcy to satisfy the $1b+ debt he owes to the families of murdered schoolchildren that he defamed for years.

It existed mostly as a vehicle to sell highly dubious supplements and doomsday prepper products, but was responsible for the mass marketing of a host of extremely corrosive and often straight-up ridiculous conspiracies, from 9/11 to Pizzagate (for those mercifully unaware, the belief that Democrats run a Satanic cabal that harvests adrenochrome from kidnapped children in the basement of a pizza parlor) to the idea that the government was turning frogs gay. A lot of recent conspiracy theories, like QAnon, can trace their lineage to the stuff Jones pushed.

According to his own words in his divorce proceedings, he didn't believe any of it, it was just a performance to make money. And now a court-appointed trustee gets to spend the next couple years trying to ensure that he doesn't get to keep any of that money. It's a good day.
this aged well
 
Had a silly thought that these people are all victims of a Moriarty style Master Criminal! Or are they all criminally complicit? You couldn't write this stuff...
 
This is one of those wounds where you just need to scrape out all the rot and dead stuff and once you're done see if you haven't lost a leg...


Stop drip feeding the curated files. Expose it all, punish those that need punishing to the full extent of the law, give as much justice to the victims as they can gain from it and ensure there is no place for any of them to ever hide again. No matter who or when or where it goes to
 
It's not actually. The guy got in trouble for it, if memory serves.
I hope so, the clip said he was charged, no naming and shaming though.
A quick search threw up this update on the Law & Crime FB page https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrime not somewhere I'd go to as a rule, I'm not keen on the 'true crime' genre.
FAKE ICE AGENT ARRESTED: A Miami man faces charges after allegedly posing as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a DUI stop in the Florida Keys. Deputies pulled over Scott Thomas Deiseroth, 42, who was reportedly driving drunk with two children, ages seven and nine, in the vehicle. During the stop, he claimed to be an ICE agent. Deputies noted a “strong odor of alcohol.” Deiseroth was arrested and charged with DUI and child endangerment.

I have a bad feeling that once this is all investigated and uncovered we could even find out Epstein was just a smaller player of a vast problem making all the conspiracy theorists go "See, told ya...Aliens"

This could be a massive moment globally! not just a few people linked to Epstein.
