Caitlin Johnstone Americans just watched the Israel lobby openly manipulate yet another election, and then in like two weeks they're going to hear their government tell them they need to regime change a foreign country to bring "democracy" to its people. Americans themselves do not have democracy. https://x.com/caitoz/status/2057066562818134316?s=20

IDF soldier says: “We are going to erase Gaza. Send them to Libya or we murder them all.” He even admits to shooting missiles from Gaza to make excuses for Israel to bomb Gaza. https://x.com/Jvnior/status/2054224170469236915?s=20 Peter Daou 1949. NINETEEN FORTY NINE. And it continues today. Evil that defies human comprehension. Unimaginable acts of cruelty, depravity, monstrosity, and savagery, particularly against women and children. And world 'leaders' still do nothing to stop it. Amjad Masad This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented.

Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time. If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it carry me! If only I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a winged gift! If only, most lovely of all, I yield myself and am borrowed By the fine, fine wind that takes its course through the chaos of the world Like a fine, an exquisite chisel, a wedge-blade inserted; If only I am keen and hard like the sheer tip of a wedge Driven by invisible blows, The rock will split, we shall come at the wonder, we shall find the Hesperides. Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul, I would be a good fountain, a good well-head, Would blur no whisper, spoil no expression. What is the knocking? What is the knocking at the door in the night? It is somebody wants to do us harm. No, no, it is the three strange angels. Admit them, admit them (D.H. Lawrence - Song of a Man Who Has Come Through)

Intet har ændret sig siden 1948. Desværre. David Miller: ‘They massacred Arab babies’ Headline in the Sydney Daily Telegraph, 1948. This passage stands out: Jews saw their opportunity. Men of the army of Zion attacked Deir Yassin at 10 a.m. that day. They easily overcame the opposition. They killed 20 Arab defenders, and entered the village, tossing grenades into houses. They killed old men, women, and children with bayonets. For three hours the slaughter went on. Babies were killed in front of their mothers. Mothers’ throats were slit. Some were beheaded. A group of men and women—some of the women obviously pregnant—were lined up and shot. The bloodlusting Jewish soldiery desecrated the bodies of pregnant mothers with knives. When they had murdered 264 villagers, the Jews called a halt. They rounded up four truckloads of survivors of all ages and both sexes, tossed the bodies of the dead into the village well, and drove off with the survivors. The victorious Jews drove the survivors through Jewish areas as exhibits of victory while Jews spat upon them. The parade continued, with breaks, for two days. ——————- Every Zionist accusation is a confession. Zionism is Jewish supremacism. The bloodlust is baked in. https://x.com/Tracking_Power/status/2051564062631133564?s=20

Lobby virksomhed part 4 5. Meta Keeps International and US Child Safety Lobbying Completely Separate I cross-referenced Meta's 18 EU retained lobbying firms against US lobbying registrations. Three firms confirmed operating for Meta in both jurisdictions: Firm EU Role US Connection Trilligent (APCO Worldwide subsidiary) EUR 680K for AI Act, DMA, DSA APCO offices in DC; Meta VP calls them "integrated members of our Meta team" White & Case LLP EUR 50-100K, digital markets/services Lead international outside counsel, 70+ lawyer team FTI Consulting Belgium EUR 10-25K Subsidiary of FTI Consulting Inc (NYSE: FCN, HQ Washington DC) None of these firms touch child safety or age verification for Meta. The child safety lobbying runs through entirely separate state-level firms: Headwaters in Colorado, Pelican State Partners in Louisiana. None of Meta's US federal lobbying firms (Avoq, Mindset, Blue Mountain) have EU operations. International regulatory work (AI Act, DSA, DMA) goes through global firms. Age verification lobbying goes through state-level specialists with no international footprint. Two separate networks, no overlap. Sources: EU Transparency Register via LobbyFacts.eu, OpenSecrets, Senate LDA filings, firm websites The Global Picture 30+ jurisdictions introduced age verification legislation within 18 months (October 2024 to March 2026). Meta spends EUR 10 million per year on EU lobbying. 30 lobbyists. 18+ consulting firms. 277 European Commission meetings over a decade, including meetings specifically on "Children on internet protection" and "Minor protection online." RSF (Reporters Without Borders) documented 2,977 lobbying actions by Meta and Google across 10+ countries. Same playbook everywhere: astroturfing, revolving door hiring, front groups, disinformation. In Brazil, former President Michel Temer acted as an intermediary for big tech. Meta ran paid ads falsely claiming regulation would "ban the Bible." Meta failed to shift the compliance burden outside the US. The ASAA puts verification on app stores and devices. In Brazil, the EU, UK, and Australia, the burden falls on platforms directly. The ASAA playbook worked in four US states. It worked nowhere else.

Lobby Virksomhed par 2 2. ConnectSafely's $100K UK Wire Goes to a Meta Safety Advisory Board Partner In the last post I reported that ConnectSafely wires $100,000/year to an unnamed UK organization. IRS Schedule F Part II does not require naming foreign grant recipients. Tax Year Amount Purpose 2024 $100,000 "To support an international organization with similar goals" 2023 $100,000 Same 2022 $97,500 Same Total $297,500 The most likely recipient is Childnet International (UK Charity 1080173). Facebook created a Safety Advisory Board in December 2009 with five founding members. ConnectSafely and Childnet were two of them. Seventeen years on the same board. Both serve as national Safer Internet Day coordinators in their respective countries. Their CEOs (Larry Magid and Will Gardner) have a direct working relationship. The 990 describes the grant purpose as supporting "an international organization with similar goals." Childnet's mission matches ConnectSafely's almost word for word. Childnet's total income is GBP 738K. A GBP 80K grant covers about 11% of their revenue. FOSI UK (Charity 1095268), the third Safety Advisory Board member with UK operations, is a secondary candidate. FOSI dissolved in February 2024, ruling it out for the 2024 grant but not the earlier two. The Pershing Square Foundation gave ConnectSafely exactly $100,000 in 2023 for "General Support of Image-Based Abuse Work." $100K in from Pershing Square. $100K out to the UK. Sources: ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer (ConnectSafely 990 XML, 2017-2024), UK Charity Commission Register, Companies House 3. Childnet Is Under Investigation If ConnectSafely sends $100K/year to Childnet, what does Childnet advocate? Childnet has never taken a public position on device-level vs. platform-level age verification. They sit on both Meta's Safety Advisory Council and the UK Council for Internet Safety, and they have said nothing on the central policy question Meta spends millions to influence. In January 2026, Childnet signed a joint statement (42 signatories) opposing under-16 social media bans. That statement calls for "a requirement on platforms to use highly effective age assurance." Platform-level verification runs opposite to Meta's position. The Charity Commission is currently assessing concerns about Childnet. In 2024, Childnet censored young ambassadors' critical comments about Snapchat (a Childnet funder) at Safer Internet Day. The line they cut: "Social media companies are in bed with the very same psychology used to exploit gambling victims." Baroness Spielman, Baroness Jenkin, and Neil O'Brien MP signed an open letter calling for an investigation and suspension of Safer Internet Day. Meta is also listed as a Tier 2 supporter on Childnet's website, separate from whatever arrives through ConnectSafely. Two funding channels from Meta to the same UK charity. Childnet's public positions do not match Meta's preferred policy. The value to Meta appears to be maintaining a seat at the UK child safety table, not directing specific advocacy.

The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. (Robert Frost)
