💥BOOM! RFK Jr. just called out EVERY elected official for being beholden to the Big Pharma industry. "Congress is controlled, in so many ways, by the pharmaceutical industry." "There's at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every Congressman, every Senator on Capitol Hill, and every member of the Supreme Court." "Some estimates show the Pharmaceutical companies, the industry itself, spend three times what the next largest lobbyist spends on lobbying."

🚨 BLACKOUT CHAOS: SPAIN, PORTUGAL — AND NOW PARTS OF FRANCE AND BELGIUM What started as a blackout in Spain and Portugal just got bigger — now parts of France, Belgium, and even tiny Andorra are getting hit too. Trains stopped, traffic lights failed, and phones cut out — causing plenty of real-world panic. The cause? Still unclear. Some say it’s a European grid fail, others blame a fire in southern France that fried a major power line. Source: Bloomberg, Euronews

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: The Australian Family Court’s extraordinary decision in Re Devin is a watershed moment for the treatment of gender distressed children in Australia. In the ruling, Justice Strum: ‼️ Found that one of Australia’s leading child gender medicine experts misled the court and that her and her colleague were being influenced by ideology in assessing the child. ‼️ Criticised the approach of gender clinics, saying the decision to “affirm unreservedly” any child that raises concerns over their gender is “oddly binary”. ‼️ Relied upon the UK’s Cass Review, which raised serious concerns about the lack of evidence for puberty blockers. ‼️ Called into question the Australian Standards of Care and Treatment Guidelines developed by the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, which promote the ‘gender-affirming’ model of care. ‼️ Prevented the 12-year-old child from accessing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones or changing their legal sex or name, stating that “At this stage in the child’s life, all options should be left open, without any unacceptable risk of harm to the child.” ⚖️ Read the judgment: austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewd… 🗞️ Read @EllieDudley_’s piece in the @australian, ‘Judge lashes child gender-medicine experts in blow for clinic’: archive.md/ouxmf 📣 Sign the open letter calling for a halt on ‘gender-affirming’ interventions for children and young people in Australia pending an urgent independent national inquiry into youth gender medicine: womensforumaustralia.org/gen… cc: @AlboMP @PeterDutton_MP #AusPol

Hey @elonmusk - I hope I’m wrong, but since I changed my profile on X to identify myself as a candidate at the coming Australian election, my posts seem to be restricted, receiving less than 50% of their normal reach - and I’m continually getting hit with X adds asking me to pay US$1,700 per day to get to the daily reach I was previously receiving organically. @elonmusk - please note the LIBERATARIAN party doesn’t receive tens of millions in taxpayer money to fund our election campaign like the Labor & Liberal parties do. I’m still banned from Facebook for telling the truth and quoting the science on Covid. We get blocked in the mainstream media, and Twitter is (was ?) one of the only places where we could complete in the contest of ideas on a level playing field.

Frank Newman · · NZ HERALD: Copyright breach claim forces change to billboards attacking Green co-leader, MP The Green Party’s claims of copyright breaches have forced changes to billboards funded by the Sensible Sentencing Trust to attack co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick and MP Tamatha Paul. In a statement this evening, Trust spokesperson Louise Parsons confirmed the party had “complained” to the company carrying the two billboards in central Auckland and central Wellington, claiming images used breached copyright. Parsons said she was “happy” to make the changes, but pointed to Green MP Kahurangi Carter’s member’s bill that sought to water down copyright laws to enhance people’s ability to engage in parody. “They want copyright laws to protect them when it suits them, just like they turn to the same police they want to abolish when they feel unsafe,” she said.
