ANOTHER top UK official was taken for a ride by pranksters posing as Ukraine’s Prime Minister

Home Secretary Priti Patel falls hook, line & sinker for the gag, openly denigrating “allies,” Interpol, & herself (in broken Russian) in the latest humiliation for British leaders👇🧵
Patel acknowledges pressuring Kenya & UAE to act against Russia & brags “not just on Interpol but on other issues, you see some of our allies working at a different level compared to the UK”

“We are out there in a very strong & forceful way & there are others trying to catch up”
Under a new UK law by Patel’s party, other refugees without papers can be jailed for 4 years

But for Ukrainians, "this is uncapped—there are no limits. Our schemes are very generous & they are very open… The paperwork, the bureaucracy & biometric checks will be taken in the UK”
On “people who are nationalists… Banderites and neo-nazis” which Putin warned about, the phony Ukrainian Prime Minister says “I hope that UK citizens are not afraid of them!”

UK Home Secretary Priti Patel’s response: “Clearly they’re not!”
You can see some alarm bells start going off in the UK Home Secretary’s head when the pranksters praise what they call her “squatter activists” for occupying “the mansion of Oleg Deripaska” and declare that they’d “like to get it for Mr. Zelensky’s residence.”
Patel tries unsuccessfully to hide her increasing alarm & pushes back slightly as the supposed Ukraine PM cheers NATO collaborator Bellingcat & expresses satisfaction with the UK’s “fair trial” of Julian Assange

“We know he drank a lot of your country’s blood, so it’s important”
UK Home Secretary nods along eagerly as the pranksters explain that “there are many oligarchs in your country but some may be useful to us”
Guy posing as Ukraine’s PM: “The Russians who come to you, you can’t let them in. Even students. They all could be KGB or FSB agents. They need to be checked in a special way”

UK Home Secretary Priti Patel: “Well Prime Minister, that’s absolutely right. That is absolutely right”
Patel plays along as the phony Ukraine PM offers a series of idiotic suggestion for how to screen out Russians:

“You could ask, Crimea belongs to Ukraine, or not?”

“It could also work to determine who is really Putin supporters.”
Pranksters coach the UK Home Secretary into calling herself a “disgusting Englishwoman” in broken Russian before signing off with a salute to her tormentors:

“Vovan and Lexus, incredible heroes—thanks to them for the work they’ve been doing to fight for an independent Ukraine”😂
Sounds like my translation may be a little off but you get the gist:
YouTube just banned comedy duo Vovan & Lexus, supposedly for violating “community rules” but obviously in response to the UK military demanding their prank call with their Defense Secretary be “removed”

No threat to the Ukraine narrative can be tolerated.

As far as I know videos of Vovan and Lexus prank calls with high ranking UK officials are now available only on RuTube. Check it out & archive them while you still can 👇

My thread on the video the UK claims is “Russian disinformation” & “creates a substantial risk to UK national security”

Watch the nuclear non-proliferation signatory’s Defense Secretary encourage a man he thinks is Ukraine’s PM to develop nukes—and hide it—& decide for yourself:

Hondurans voting in today’s presidential election face an unprecedented range of foreign efforts to meddle in their democratic process, thanks to the US government and its preferred local proxies, the National Party.

🧵A brief rundown on the plots to steal the Honduran election: Image
The most obvious effort to rig the Honduran election has come via Trump’s statements demanding voters cast their ballots for Tito Asfura.

Throughout the race, Asfura sought to distance himself from the previous National Party candidate, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was convicted of conspiring with his brother and El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel to smuggle 400 tons of coke into the US last year.

This week, those efforts unraveled when Trump threatened to withhold US support for Honduras if Asfura isn’t elected, while simultaneously announcing he was pardoning Hernandez, who he claimed had been “treated very unfairly.”Image
Trump has presented no evidence that Hernandez’s trial was biased in any way, nor has he explained how the then-president of Honduras could have been unaware of the massive cocaine trafficking conspiracy which his own brother – Tony Hernandez – was indicted for by Trump’s Department of Justice.Image

If you were surprised to find out Cory Booker had a rabbi, wait til you find out who it is Image
Two best buds united by destiny, interest in Judaism, and an unwavering lust for power.

In the last photo, it appears our Director of National Intelligence joined them in 2013. Image

The 20+ year bromance apparently ended in the mid 2010s due to what Shmuley claimed was Booker’s support for the Iran nuclear deal and what Booker claimed was Shmuley’s relentless self-promotion. Image

BREAKING: Israeli outlet Haaretz has blatantly plagiarized my post about Sky News editing their video on the Amsterdam riots, lifting a number of sentences word-for-word and only slightly revising the rest.

A side-by-side analysis shows at least five paragraphs of the Haaretz article were directly taken from my social media profile and republished with just a handful of minor edits.

The plagiarist in question is Rachel Fink — the same Rachel Fink who wrote a hit piece about me in Haaretz in June, based on a smear job by the Washington Post which was so shoddily-written that its very first sentence was immediately retracted.

Her previous piece, labeling us a “fringe news site,” was merely Haaretz’s latest attack on myself and The Grayzone. Last November, the outlet labeled editor-in-chief @MaxBlumenthal a “conspiracy theorist” after he pointed out that the Israeli government killed large number of Israeli civilians in October — a ‘conspiracy theory’ which Haaretz itself went on to confirm two weeks later.

That same month, another Haaretz piece accused our top editor of carrying out a “masterclass in manipulation,” claiming Blumenthal “has a history of denying war crimes, so it's no surprise he provided a piece that very selectively uses facts, includes purposely edited quotes to change their meaning and grossly plays down the atrocities against Israelis.”

Given their long history of disparaging myself, Max Blumenthal, and The Grayzone in general, they were apparently unable to publicly credit a Grayzone employee. So they did the next best thing: shamelessly plagiarize our work and pass it off as their own.

The blatant forgery of my writing by Haaretz is pathetic — and likely illegal — but ultimately unsurprising. It does, however, raise the crucial question: is there anything Israelis won’t steal?Image
Image
Please feel free to pass along your questions and comments to the plagiarist in question, @RachelSFink

Suggested inquiries include:

- “Why did you plagiarize a journalist you viciously attacked just six months ago?”

- “At what point did you stop considering Grayzone journalists “fringe” and start deciding to rip off their work?”

- “Have you no shame? How do you sleep at night?”

Turns out “the free encyclopedia anyone can edit” is actually controlled opposition that no one can touch Image
Wikipedia: “You are not allowed to cite The Grayzone”

Also Wikipedia: “…Unless you’re disparaging The Grayzone.”

In unrelated news, here’s a 2010 article about the “two Israeli groups seeking to gain the upper hand in the online debate [who] have launched a course in “Zionist editing” for Wikipedia, the online reference site.”
