A court in London was told today that MI5 agents are authorised to commit serious crimes, on British soil, without informing prosecutors, under a secretive MI5 policy...
A Tribunal heard today that the secret policy governing MI5 involvement in criminality has been in place since the early 1990s and operated without any oversight until 2012, when Prime Minister David Cameron asked the Intelligence Services Commissioner to monitor the policy.
It is now known, for example, that Pat Finucane, the human rights lawyer, was murdered in 1989 by a British army agent, while eating dinner with his family at his Belfast home.

#London, 1950. The war has ended, but austerity still remained - not least in the thin gruel of available science fiction. So step forward one man (actually two), one publisher and one artist to change all that.

This is the story of Vargo Statten and Scion Science Fiction...
John Russell Fearn was a prolific pulp writer. Known in the UK for his western and detective novels, he was also the first British writer to really break into the American sci-fi pulp market during the pre-war era.
But after the war Fearn struggled to sell stories to the American sci-fi magazine market (even with the help of Frederik Pohl as an agent) and instead concentrated on the UK. He still wrote science fiction the Toronto Star Weekly, but it didn't pay much.

Trans Rights are Human Rights.
I’m constantly asking TRA’s which of the Human Rights do they not have? I never get an answer. So I’ve spent the morning looking at the individual rights. I’m not an academic but I want to share my thoughts on this. A thread. 1/17
As far as I can tell, Trans people have all the same rights, the rest of us do. I have to point out though, how hard the activists are working to take away those rights from other people. Because for me, that’s the scary, sinister bit. 2/17
I took the info on HR from the Liberty website which I’m not going to link to because they don’t state that ‘sex’ is the protected characteristic and say ‘gender’ instead. You can google it if you want to.
Lets go through them one by one. 3/17

(1) Thread #4 about the #TaosCompound New Mexico case, starting 8/30/18.

Read my series of threads about this case:
…

NM has a GOP Governor with power to direct the state AG to take over the case from the small-town DA.

Facts > Speculation

#MAGA
(2) You're not helping #MakeAmericaGreatAgain by accepting the cherry picked talking points of either Democrats OR Republicans.

On the GOP side, we must clean up our act when it comes to reporting & discussing this case. It is serious!

Don't be a hypocrite. Use your brain.
(3) Trust me, I've heard everything people are saying about this case. And I have assembled the facts that correct the misinformation. Anyone can do this, I'm not special. It just takes an open mind & a couple of hours of searching online, & I've done most of it for you.

Glenn Simpson & his Fusion GPS team suddenly changed the narrative a few weeks ago, began using their media allies to desperately begin selling a new story that the #SteeleDossier was *NOT* used in any way shape or form for any FISA warrant/s.
We got the comical claim that the actual trigger for the FBI's investigation into Trump/Russia collusion was....Papadopolous having a drunk chat in a bar. They've been pushing that relentlessly for several weeks now.
Earlier, 1 of the Reps. that's read the memo made the statement it will absolutely destroy the new 'Papadopoulos narrative' that Fusion has been using it's media allies to pimp.
