Congratulations to @Telegraph for ‘revealing’ information that has been on @IndependentSAGE website since day 17 months ago. Give yourself a Pulitzer
Oh no, sorry, @telegraph. That’s me. You missed my nomination off your bio I notice. ‘Peddling conspiracy theories’ 😂
Oh dear! Hear you had to take the piece down because you didn’t go to me, @IndependentSage or @allthecitizens for comment. Here you go
In the interests of fairness & accuracy, could you also please amend your description to ‘Brexit conspiracy theorist & Pulitzer finalist’? Many thanks
Lol. I see @telegraph has now committed journalism. It put article back up *after* going to @IndependentSage for comment😂. You’ll note only HALF my quote included. Also sources close to Indie SAGE’s spokesman reveal he actually said: ‘Yes my comment is that this article is shit’
In Wales, we say ‘chwarae teg’ - fair play - when you have to hand it to someone. So bravo to @edwardmalnick & @Telegraph. I have no idea how you cracked this impenetrable mystery but chwarae teg

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! WtafImage
It’s an amazing report which nails how Russia’s hybrid warfare programme actually works & how Russia is explicitly & directly inciting racialised violence in UK - & working with Tommy Robinson to do so - as well as directing acts of violence
against PM.
2/
The stakes couldn’t be any higher. And I was already gripped by the incredible detail of what BBC uncovered - & which apparently Met police had missed - when Sergei Nalobin suddenly enters the chat..as a tutor to the guy who directed entire UK sabotage operation. Image

NEW: The Crypto Connection. @thenerve_news brings you…Part 1 of The Harbourne Receipts.

A forensic examination of the cryptobillionaire’s donations & Nigel Farage’s crypto announcements.

And guess what? There’s a pattern. Starting with the now infamous £5m gift.

By @charlienotold & @LuciaOC_
1/Image
Nigel Farage’s crypto enthusiasm took off 2 months after Harbourne’s £5m gift…& escalated from there.

And in lockstep with an increasing number of donations from crypto billionaire Harbourne.

But that’s not all…
2/
thenerve.news/p/investigatio…
The Nerve’s @CharlieNotOld then went back & examined Harbourne’s donations to Boris Johnson…& guess what?!

It’s the exact same pattern as Farage.

Harbourne’s crypto donations immediately preceded Johnson’s crypto policy announcements.

NEW: Palantir’s revolving door.

A new investigation by @thenerve_news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption.
1/
Link ⬇️
Palantir recruited the two most senior AI strategists from the Ministry of Defence & NHS…& won multimillion £ contracts with both, a pattern repeated across the UK govt.
2/
thenerve.news/p/palantir-rev…
The Palantir pipeline also includes 4 members of the House of Lords, the ex head of MI6, 2 generals & a former chief adviser to the PM.

Is Apple deleting place names from its map of southern Lebanon?

I emailed Apple to fact check this viral claim & I’m publishing its bullshit response in full as a teachable moment.

This ‘on background’ crap is how tech companies avoid accountability.
1/ Image
This claim went viral yesterday & if you check Apple Maps, you can see that Lebanese place names are indeed missing.

But what’s not clear is why &/or if this has always been the case.

Which is why I went to Apple for a response.
2/ Image
Apple replied with an ‘On background’ quote. This is tech PR bullshit: a way of trying to shape the narrative without leaving fingerprints.

Tech press offices do this routinely & it works! Journalists fall for it, the ‘explanation’ is included, the reader never knows

NEW: I’ve found an opaque financial vehicle owns a large chunk of the Observer. And neither it or the Guardian will say who it is. Why?

Well there is a clue. Which goes by way of Saudi Arabia…
1/ Image
The capture of US media orgs is accelerating. And the UK is next in line. The BBC has fallen to an AI hype guy. And my old newspaper, the Observer, is publishing Palantir puff pieces.

But why? I set out to find out..
2/
open.substack.com/pub/broligarch…
In Companies House I found the Observer has a mystery investor: the North Hatley Trust.

Who is the North Hatley Trust? Good question!

There’s only the tiniest bit of public info about it. With one important clue..

NEW: Will Google's AI hype man kill the BBC?

I've written about Matt Brittin because the coverage of his time at Google is shockingly naive.

The BBC's next DG made his career as a yes man at a rapacious AI monopoly that preys on news journalism in order to destroy it.
1/ Image
Out of a shortlist of 5, 4 were women with decades of experience of public service broadcasting. And one man with none at all: Matt Brittin.

But that maybe the least of his problems...
2/
 thenerve.news/p/matt-brittin…
The BBC's profile quotes sources "close" to Matt Brittin to deliver a fawning portrait of an "inspirational leader". Only he's never led anything.

Brittin is a middle manager whose job was to stop Google being regulated and grow the business like late stage cancer.
