In just a couple of days, an impressive amount of information has been brought to light pointing to Israel’s strong motive to take out Charlie Kirk ASAP. I will here compile that information, as I found it on X and other Internet outlets.
In doing so, I am not influenced by my personal opinion on Kirk. I hardly ever listened to him before the last three days, and my opinion was mostly negative. Today, I still feel that Nick Fuentes was right in his very severe judgment of him as a traitor to his country paid by Israel to keep the MAGA movement in line with Israel’s interests, even when he was doing some “damage control”. That doesn’t mean, in my view, that Kirk was not sincere in his defense of Israel. As an evangelical Christian, he probably really saw this as a calling from God. On the other hand, I think that ambitious men are never exclusively interested by truth, that men in general (women included) are very good at lying to themselves about their true motivations, and that religion is a very practical way to lie to yourself. I also think that Kirk, although an energetic and talented fast talker, was not extremely intelligent—less intelligent than Fuentes, in my view. Like Fuentes, I don’t think anybody who supports Israel because the Bible tells him so can be very intelligent.
So based on what I have seen recently, I believe that Kirk was turning, but I wouldn’t be able to say to what extent his turning was motivated by his love for truth and morality, or by his concern for keeping the trust of his base of followers, and saving his political future. I suppose he was feeling opposite pressures from two sides: from his pro-Israel backers on the top, demanding that he keeps his unconditional support of Israel, and from his grass-root followers on the bottom, who find Israel’s actions and Israel’s influence on U.S. policies more and more unbearable (Kirk’s followers also listen to Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens or Nick Fuentes).
Whatever his motivations were, and no matter how far he was planning to go in his critics of Israel, the fact is that he had gone quite far already.
Researchers from a large health care system in Michigan found that vaccinated children were more likely to develop a chronic health condition, but never published the findings, according to a copy of the study obtained by The Epoch Times.
Henry Ford Health System, whose employees carried out the study, said it was deficient.
Dr. Marcus Zervos, an infectious disease specialist at the Henry Ford Health, and colleagues studied 18,468 children born between 2000 and 2016 who were enrolled in the health system’s insurance plan, drawing data from medical, clinical, and payer records and supplementing with information from Michigan’s immunization registry.
After 10 years, 57 percent of the vaccinated children had a chronic health condition such as asthma, compared to just 17 percent of the unvaccinated children.
“This study found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, when compared to children unexposed to vaccination,” the authors wrote. “This association was primarily driven by asthma, atopic disease, eczema, autoimmune disease and neurodevelopmental disorders. This suggests that in certain children, exposure to vaccination may increase the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, particularly for one of these conditions.”
An algorithm-based ranking of the world’s foremost military powers taking into account over 50 different factors to determine each country’s position.
Quantity and quality of armaments, while important, are supplemented by equally important evaluations of training, combat readiness, overseas military bases, defensive infrastructure and fortifications among many other assets considered.
Strategic and tactical nuclear capabilities, due to the extreme caution with which they must be deployed and states’ general refrain from using them, are considered a limited asset rather than the decisive game changer they would be if employed freely.
Nuclear powers are marked accordingly in the right hand column. Due to their highly secretive nature, biological warfare capabilities are not taken into consideration.
As well as ranking states numerically, military powers are also divided into six tiers based on the league in which their military capabilities lie.
Those countries in the same tier can be considered near peer competitors, although the kinds of strengths and capabilities they field can be entirely different.
Outstanding strengths of each country, if any, are listed below their names, as are links to further information for each country’s aerial, naval and ground warfare capabilities.

Just a few decades ago, there was little to no distinction between automotive motor oil and motorcycle oil. These days, the two lubes are quite unique. What are the differences, and more importantly, what happens if you run car oil in your bike?
Motorcycle oils branched off from automotive oils in the 1980s as car oil evolved in a way that caused problems for motorcycles. Specifically, friction modifiers designed to improve fuel economy could cause a bike’s clutch to slip under acceleration.
For the most part, the “it’ll make your clutch slip” explanation is all you’ll hear when it comes to running car oil in a motorcycle. That’s not a guaranteed outcome, and frankly it’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are other differences that make auto oil unsuitable for motorcycles, and it has to do with the fact that bikes usually rev higher and run hotter than cars, and unlike autos where the oil only lubricates the engine, in many motorcycles the same oil serves the engine, clutch, and transmission.
Simon makes a decent point, but don’t throw the crowd out with the bathwater. Nothing is perfect. Millions of Brits needed a reason to show their mettle. Who organized it is not the main feature. We have to work with percentages. A huge crowd like this inspires tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions. Don’t make perfect be the enemy of pragmatics. ABN
Basic anthropology and the elite know it and believe they will win. Their winning is not a sure thing, but they have intentionally brought about the crisis, which shows they are confident. Unite the Kingdom is the right call. Unity is all we the plebs have. Musk surely has complex motives but I believe he really does want to save Western civilization. ABN
A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest.
Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.
Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday’s shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.
His identity was revealed as separate reports emerged from Fox and the New York Post which stated that Robinson was living with a ‘transgender partner’ who is co-operating with the investigation.
Lance Twiggs, who lived with Tyler Robinson in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, turned Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin over to police
It is unclear if Twiggs is the same person referenced in the reports and he has not been named in the affidavit. His grandfather, Jerry Twiggs, told Daily Mail that he was unable to comment on rumors that he is trans and that there was a transgender motive to Kirk’s murder.
‘I don’t want to comment on that. I’m not sure what his situation is exactly right now,’ he said, adding that he had never met Robinson.
Jerry also confirmed his grandson had been talking with the police, but that he had not spoken to him since.
Three Austrian nuns in their 80s have run away from the retirement home where they were placed and gone back to their former convent.
Sister Bernadette, 88, Sister Regina, 86, and Sister Rita, 82, are the last three nuns at the Kloster Goldenstein convent in Elsbethen, just outside Salzburg.
Sister Rita (L), Sister Regina (C) and Sister Bernadette were sent to a care home against their will in 2023
They regained access with the help of former students and a locksmith.
Church authorities are not happy – but the nuns are.
“I am so pleased to be home,” Sister Rita said. “I was always homesick at the care home. I am so happy and thankful to be back.”
The trio say they were taken out of the convent against their will in December 2023.
“We weren’t asked,” Sister Bernadette said. “We had the right to stay here until the end of our lives and that was broken.”
The nuns say they are determined to stay.
“Before I die in that old people’s home, I would rather go to a meadow and enter eternity that way,” said Sister Bernadette.
