☢️💣 If you watched Oppenheimer, you'll recognise this as Lewis Strauss, the film's antagonist.

Strauss is depicted as a fierce Cold Warrior who casts suspicion on Oppenheimer for sympathy to the Soviet Union.

But Strauss held a dual loyalty of his own. 🇮🇱

1/11 🧵 2/11 Strauss was the architect of American nuclear policies in the 1950s.

Strauss left a career as an investment banker on Wall Street to lead the Atomic Energy Commission – an agency set up to be custodian of America’s nuclear materials. ☢️

🚨 Major scandal - Gardai caught supporting Antifa - Political Policing in Ireland 🇮🇪

Earlier today, two official X pages for the Garda Síochána - the Irish police service - were caught liking posts by Antifa accounts.

Proof the Gardaí are now political police👇🧵1/6
2/6 The posts in question were calling for X to reinstate Ireland Against Fascism, an account which has spent years doxxing and harassing nationalists, conservatives and critics of mass-immigration.

The Gardaí lent their support to have these left-wing extremists reinstated.

🧵 Asking us not to connect crime to immigration is asking us to ignore reality.

Across Europe, Algerian immigrants commit crime at a vastly disproportionate rate to other ethnic groups, and Ireland has more asylum applications from Algeria than any country in EU.

🇬🇧🇮🇱 Tommy Robinson was reinstated to X at a time when Zionists are trying to win support for Israel among the political right in the West.

Let's take a look at who has funded Robinson in the past 👇🧵

1/8 2/8 An investigation by the Guardian reported a number of groups that funded Robinson's legal fees and helped support his activism: Middle East Forum, Robert Shillman, Australian Liberty Alliance, Rebel Media, Gatestone Institute and the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

One in four American Christians say they believe it is their biblical responsibility to support the nation of Israel.

But why are there so many Christian Zionists in America?

A thread 🧵

1/13 2/13 What is Christian Zionism?

Christian Zionists believe that the Jewish people have a biblically-mandated right to a homeland in Palestine, and that Christians should be active in advancing this.

This belief is rooted in a traditional heresy known as "dispensationalism".

Today, we are witnessing the creation of atrocity propaganda in real-time.

What is atrocity propaganda, and how has it been used to win support for war? A thread:

🧵 1/12 2/12: An atrocity tale is designed to shock a mass audience by showing a violation of a fundamental cultural value which authorises force to stop the perpetrator.

They are directed at groups rather than individuals. The ultimate goal is to dehumanise an enemy.

🧵 A look at slavery outside of the West:

It has become popular to blame White people for slavery, to the point that many actually believe slavery was invented by or exclusively practiced by Europeans.

But the history of slavery outside the West is far more brutal.

1/15 2/15 The Arab slave trade emerged in the 7th century, 10 centuries before the Atlantic slave trade

Arabs sold Africans to the Middle East for a variety of jobs such as domestic work or harem guards - castrating male slaves was common, causing over half of males to bleed to death

Matt Walsh made this thread arguing the trans movement is rooted in Nazism. He massively distorts history to try and fit this narrative.

In doing so, he also undermines the many contributions made to trans acceptance by the Jewish community. Here are some examples:

1/8 🧵

2/8 Walsh mentions Magnus Hirschfeld as his example of a Nazi scientist. Hirschfeld was actually Jewish and gay, and fled Germany on the Nazis taking power.

His sex research institute oversaw the first trans surgery, and he created the first ever LGBT advocacy organisations.

Some interesting research came out recently on the relationship between people with left-wing authoritarian politics, narcissism and psycopathy.

Interestingly, it seems to vindicate many earlier thinkers who theorised about the connection between leftism and pathology.

1/10 🧵 2/10 The research found a strong correlation between left authoritarianism and dark triad traits. It did not find greater altruism or commitment to social justice.

They conclude that for these people their left-wing views are simply a way for them to express power over others.

It is difficult to overstate how much everything since 1945 is shaped by the spectre of the Holocaust.

The period since is the story of the religious underpinning of the West shifting from Christianity to a new foundation built on a single commandment: "never again":

1/25 🧵 2/25 Take Karl Popper, the intellectual godfather of neoliberalism:

Popper was compelled to write The Open Society and Its Enemies during WW2, motivated by rebuilding Western civilization as an open society to ensure those horrors would not be seen again

Karl Popper | The Philosopher of Modern Liberalism

Probably no political philosopher's vision of things more definitively won out in the latter half of the 20th century than Karl Popper.

Popper, not Marx, is the philosopher of the modern left. Let's find out why.

1/25 🧵 2/25 Karl Popper was born into a Viennese Jewish family that converted to Lutheranism.

Fearing his position as a Jew in post-Anschluss Austria, Popper moved to lecture in New Zealand in 1937. In 1946, he moved to the UK to join the London School of Economics

The End of Race:

We have all heard the statement "we're all one race, the human race". Yet just a century ago the existence of distinct biological races was taken for granted. How did our perception of race change so drastically?

1/20 🧵 2/20 Racial anthropology emerged as a distinct field of study in the 19th century.

By the late 19th C. and into the early 20th C. more genetic determinist accounts of race had begun to dominate the academy, alongside the rise of Social Darwinism and the eugenics movement.
