Refuse "Cults of Personality".
Refuse placing individuals on pedestals for any purpose especially that of building followings to empower those individuals and their chosen few, no matter how beneficial it may seem.
Refuse cultures that place individualism above collectivism.
Refuse strategies that entrench hierarchies.
Refuse messages that use identity as a tool to achieve any aim.
Refuse to accept faith above evidence.
Refuse to allow 'memory holes' and the delusions they create.
Refuse to be silent in the face of almost religious fervor around so-called 'political' leaders.
This is where #NOGODS culture starts.
ROFL. Noob. It's not Zarah.

Hi Michael, just to make you aware, The Canary is smearing ex-staff who just wanted to be treated fairly and paid. After a group of us left our pay was 12 days late and the CEO refuses to communicate with us. Pensions for this financial year were only paid this afternoon.
This is premature commentary, but unsurprising given the alleged links between Canary and Mintpress.
British Left-Wing Media Outlet ‘The Canary’ Has Announced It Is Officially Closing After 11 Years Of Journalism
The platform was de-banked by Lloyds Bank & later announced a second account with Metro Bank was also frozen. A major attack was launched against the platform, which The Canary said made continuing to operate untenable.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) condemned the move by Lloyds Bank as a “disturbing precedent for UK press freedom”. Online commentators have warned that the ability of the establishment to cripple media organisations critical of them creates a hostile environment that will pressure other news outlets to fall into line or face similar potential backlash.

My statement on the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender ⬇️
ALT STATEMENT ON E1 SETTLEMENT EXPANSION 19 October 2026 The decision by the Israeli Government to open tenders for settlements in E1 is a direct threat to the prospect of a two-state solution and has been widely condemned by the international community. Today is the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender. I want to be very clear with those considering engaging in the tendering process: we have created new powers allowing us to sanction individuals and companies involved in the construction of illegal settlements such as E1. We urge businesses and individuals not to proceed with bids for E1 construction tenders. They should be aware of legal and reputational consequences, including the risk of involving themselves in serious breaches of international law. FULL STATEMENT CONTINUES ON GOV.UK

When the head of the British Army, General Roly Walker, says the population must be "readied" for war, it's been taken to mean conscription — that Britain's finest will be marched off to take on the Russians in Ukraine.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
As I have pointed out many times, the British armed forces are not only incapable of taking on the Russians in terms of actual military capability — they're incapable of even getting there, should the Russians be so impolite as to fire on them as they approached the battle zone.
This is not about marching off to war with Russia. Be clear about that.
But states contain many factions, each with their own reasons. The Chief of the General Staff may calculate that this kind of talk does him no harm in the next round of budget discussions, that it raises his prestige, that it might reverse the long decline in the size and quality of the British Army. Perhaps that's his motivation.
What of the cynical media operators who put this message out? The politicians who allowed a blatantly political intervention from Britain's leading general two weeks before the Budget? Their motivation is more structural, and it reflects the reality of Britain's position as a very weak, late-stage parasitic imperial power.
Britain's strength is not derived from war-fighting as such. It derives from the extraction of rents from transactions across the world, funnelled through the City of London. The strength of this country is not in fighting — it is in getting other people to fight for it.
So what is the message actually for? Perpetual justification. The messaging exists to excuse perpetual failure on the social and economic development the population actually wants to see.
Can't get a road fixed? The money's needed for the great crusade against Russia.
Health service falling apart? Nothing can be done until we win the war against the Russians.
Wages frozen? That's the fault of the Iranians.
It's a standing justification for every act of class war waged on the working class. Blame the chosen opponent — Russia, China, Iran; insert the name as required.
The British ruling class cannot and will not fight a real hot war. What they will do is keep the Ukraine war going as long as possible — and line up other countries to be turned into what Ukraine has become: a giant outsourced military encampment, funded by the US imperial bloc, so that they never have to take the risk of fighting themselves.

'Shameless land grab' would see Meta claim AI rights for everything publishers produce (whether it is on Meta platforms or not) pressgazette.co.uk/news/face…
This will be interesting to see whether "us" = The Topple Throuple, or the business itself.
At this stage, it's hard to tell the difference.
The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future.
As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely.
After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally.
After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much.
However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us.
We may be down, but we’re not out yet.

Why does the Greens' "Zionism is racism" policy provoke such fear from the UK's political and media class?
Because it collapses their key script – by emphasising that the struggle to end Palestinian oppression is against a racist political movement, Zionism, not against Jews.
The political and media class are so desperate to keep advancing this script that they're now forced to defame the UK's only Jewish party leader as an antisemite to make it make sense.
It doesn't make sense – can never make sense – because it's a lie.
What if I told you Rebecca, that this wasn't the BBC per se, but a bunch of powerful billionaires using specially approved shell company NGO's to launder cash for political purposes, and using the BBC's anti-extremism / anti-misinformation mandate as a "trusted flagger"?
The BBC was set up to inform, educate and entertain - not brainwash our children.
I tried the game for myself to see if it really was as bad as this article indicates. It is.
The BBC need to explain why they are using taxpayer money to push a left-wing political agenda onto our children. Yet another impartiality failure.

Part 2, and my last post about my Shawn Ryan Show episode.
Last I heard, it had been edited. Then Shawn went on Diary of a CEO and described a woman whose interview he’d never release. That woman wasn’t me, unless he was lying.
But I never expected it to air, and here’s why:
I spent weeks prepping with Shawn’s team. I was booked to follow the money on TPUSA and the surveillance state, and naming names is what I do. I’m meticulous, and I never say anything I can’t prove. Then, right before we started filming, I was told I couldn’t name names. When I brought up who funds Flock Safety, the license plate cameras now in thousands of American towns, I was told not to say Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. You can’t follow the money without showing where the money flows. That’s when I realized this episode would never air, before we had even started.
So when I got home, I did what I do. I followed the money. And, turns out Shawn Ryan is invested in companies backed by the exact people I was told not to name, plus Israel.
(1) Anduril Industries: Ryan has been an investor since October 2025. Anduril started with surveillance towers and now builds drones and autonomous weapons. Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led its June 2025 round, and Andreessen Horowitz co-led its $5 billion round in May 2026. Those are the two names I was told to leave out. In February 2026, Anduril’s founder, Palmer Luckey, made an undisclosed trip to Israel and met with Netanyahu and senior defense officials. By June, Anduril was setting up an Israel operation to sell to Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Shawn had Palmer on his show in February 2025 and invested eight months later.
(2) Shield AI: Ryan has been an investor since November 2025. It builds AI-piloted drones and fighter jets. Andreessen Horowitz led its first major round and has kept investing ever since. Shawn had its co-founder on the show the same season he invested.
(3) Sesh: Ryan has been an investor since August 2025. Its $40 million round was led by 8VC, the venture firm of Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel. Lonsdale was a guest on Shawn’s show on May 7, 2026, less than three months before I taped. Palantir signed a strategic partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense in 2024.
And Flock Safety, the company I came to talk about, is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, which led two of its rounds, and by Founders Fund, Peter Thiel’s fund.
So I was booked to expose who funds the surveillance state. I was told not to name Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. And the host has money in companies backed by Andreessen Horowitz, by Thiel’s fund, and by Thiel’s Palantir co-founder, including one that is building its business in Israel.
Then there’s the rest of it. Sarah Adams, his former network host, was messaging his team to keep me off (see Part 1 if you missed it). An IDF settlement contractor tagged the two of them together. Pro-Israel groups passed around her clip from his show as proof that Israel didn’t drive the war. And after his Diary of a CEO interview, accounts from the same network that spent the summer smearing me told everyone his “CIA woman” was me, citing “sources.” It wasn’t me. I never discussed a polygraph with Shawn Ryan, and it was never why I went on. So either he was talking about someone else, or somebody turned his story into a weapon against me.
Honestly, I don’t want the episode to air, and I told them so right after we taped, because it was a watered-down version of my work. How it all happened was a tough lesson learned for me in this industry. Now you know what was going on behind the scenes. If this episode doesn’t air, I can assure you it’s not because I’m a fraud. It’s because I won’t water down who funds the surveillance state, and I won’t sell out to protect anyone’s investments.
So there you have it.
RS21 is arguably worse with its connections to Common Knowledge. 🤣
This is retarded.
In 1934, while living in exile in Barbizon, a small village near Fontainebleau in France, Leon Trotsky pioneered the political strategy that is now vexing Zack Polanski. It was here that he started encouraging his supporters to deploy a new method to shift the political debate: entryism.
Concerned that the Communist League – a French Trotskyist group founded four years previously – did not have the size or influence to act alone, Trotsky encouraged its members to dissolve the group and join the larger French Socialist Party. Ever since then, the term entryism has been used to describe any incident of a smaller group joining a larger organisation in order to advance their own agenda.
Discussion of this tactic has appeared once again after Green Party members passed the controversial “Zionism is racism” motion at their party conference on 4 October. Grandees, such as the party’s former leader Caroline Lucas, have expressed concern that in failing to adapt the Greens’ ultra-democratic systems for a new era of mass membership, the party has left itself open to this tactic. Writing for the New Statesman last week, Lucas said: “Entryism has been a problem for many parties, but with our commitment to direct democracy and our cumbersome internal accountability mechanisms, the Greens are woefully exposed.” newstatesman.com/politics/gr…

Article unpaywalled here. Does need to be seen to be believed at this point, really. "There are sound political reasons, too, for centrists to sound tough and to frame the war in Ukraine as a moral crusade against a rogue Russia"....

“This stupid motion” was written by Palestinians while their people face an ongoing genocide.
This policy - because it is policy now - has exposed the key issue at the heart of the settler colony in Palestine:
Zionism
We aim to address the sickness, not simply the symptoms.
Zack did well on Kuenssberg, he’s good at doing what needs to be done.
But I still wish he’d been facing the gross right wing barrage of stupid questions he was always gonna face about something like climate or cost of living instead of having to defend this stupid motion that damages the Greens.
Wish we could all move on & draw a line under it but they’re not going to let go of it- that’s what the Greens are to the majority of the public now. And I think that’s a disaster.
