On this day in 1999, Cartoon Network aired a 24-hour Scooby-Doo marathon for Halloween. The marathon was filled with little clips between episodes parodying THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT which had been released in theaters just a few a few months earlier.

The German government still pays a monthly pension of between €400 - €1500 to former Nazi collaborators. The Belgian government has repeatedly asked them to stop and the Germans refused. The amount they pay in restitution to survivors of labour camps per month? €50
Is Greta Thunberg anti-Semitic, or just incredibly naive? Her comments in Amsterdam last weekend left little doubt as to where she stands on the Middle East conflict. The iconic activist's actions now threaten to divide the climate movement and the left. spiegel.de/international/wor…

Replying to @GhostStoriesEnd
It was a very open secret in NI that every loyalist group in NI had an MI5 agent at the very top, except the LVF, and Billy Wright got whacked in prison in an obvious bit of collusion between the state, the loyalists and the Ra.

It's not just that he's racist, but that he's clearly proud of it.
“Have you spoken to any Palestinian organizations before you wrote your letter?” @ShehabKhan presses Labour MP Mike Tapp who reported the Green Party over its Zionism motion about whether he’s ever spoken to any Palestinians. Tapp: “I don’t know any Palestinian people.”

Turning Point UK was extensively promoted by the BBC at launch, you can see a few familiar faces in their lineup here.
Turning Point UK has serious questions to answer. Al Jazeera’s new investigation exposes the links between a Northern Irish paramilitary hitman and Turning Point UK, a far right group run by Nick Tenconi and Jack Ross.

Trying to understand why a prominent Tory party member organising contract killings isn’t being given wall to wall coverage. The BBC hasn’t even mentioned it on their site.
🚨🇬🇧 Turning Point UK's CEO was filmed offering an undercover reporter a menu of beatings, stabbings and killings through a Glasgow contact who says he arms the UVF Al Jazeera’s undercover operation started in 2021 when a reporter joined the British offshoot of the American student group. Its CEO Jack Ross, a Conservative candidate in 2023, introduced the reporter to Allan Nesbitt, a convicted criminal and self-described UVF member, agreed on camera to pay him to stage a fake pro-Zimbabwe rally, and priced out what Nesbitt’s friends could do to a person, from cutting faces to MURDER. The UVF is the Ulster Volunteer Force, a Protestant loyalist paramilitary from Northern Ireland’s Troubles that killed over 500 people between 1966 and 1999, including 33 in one day in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, and is still banned as a terror group. Since the peace deal it has run mostly as a drug gang that kept the name and the guns. Nesbitt reportedly met the reporter in a London hotel, offered to have a fictional business rival “finished,” claimed he’d personally stabbed a man to death, showed a shotgun and pistol on a video call and said the fee would buy weapons smuggled from Scotland into Northern Ireland. Ross says it was a joke. The joke came with a price list, a weapons demo and a smuggling route, and the police now have a name and a video... and wasn't particularly funny. Somebody in Turning Point UK’s donor base should be asking when the fundraising dinners turned into this. Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Daniel

The “deep state” - a vast, classified underground labyrinth of organizations devoted to prosecuting counterinsurgency and strategy of tension, its constituent networks constantly repurposed and reactivated within an ecosystem of teeming factions - is real and exists

YouTube is one of the few remaining sites that doesn’t completely suck because it still recommends stuff from out of left field. You'll be listening to something and suddenly it jumps to a voodoo priestess who produced one of the sickest outsider dance records of all time.
I have never been more excited to click a YouTube thumbnail. We need more more music that's channeled from aliens.

"Almost 9m people.. are at risk of needing a food bank.. that includes 2.9m children.. 1 in 5 people saying there household has run out of food & couldn't afford to buy more.." As one food bank user explains: "The gap between what we earn & what we need is ever increasing" #GMB

"When you were CEO of the @NEF there was a report.. which called for an end to new drilling in the Nth Sea. Have you changed your mind?" @Miatsf: "No, thats why we've got a manifesto commitment to end new licenses, thats why I'm about to legislate to ban new licenses" Shameless

Entire country is on its arse, Minority groups are under attack by a new wave of Nazism, your Bills are going up 25%, but all you get, is wall to wall "Antisemitism" & how criticism of Israel is somehow worse than The genocide they're guilty of. Aren't you all fucking tired?!

There was a moment during this, forgotten now, where everything hung in the balance. So many safes, databases, lockboxes and god knows what else were cleaned out, cos the people really were in revolt. And then nothing happened. But it still could, is the thing. And They know that
30 years ago - The white march

If The White March movement hadn’t been hijacked by this vague “anti-corruption” sentiment, if people had pushed just a little harder, it could have caused a revolution. Belgium could have been the first domino, and modern Europe would be completely different today.

Peter Mandelson would have been flayed alive and Jimmy Savile would have been exposed before the turn of the millennium, for example. That’s how far and deep the Belgian Network extended (extends?)
