🧵 1/8 Seven details revealed in newly released MLK files

Texas man claimed early encounter with MLK's killer

One Texas man, Joseph Meyer, told investigators that he may have seen MLK's killer in Mississippi two weeks prior to the killing.

A report on his comments to police said he encountered a man firing a rifle into a tree while on a fishing trip with his son. 2/8 The CIA monitored Cuba's response to MLK's death

The CIA compiled a five-page report on Cuba's response to MLK's assassination, including reports from Cuban independent and state-controlled media.

The report shows that Granma, the official newspaper for Cuba's communist party, highlighted the violence and riots that took place in the wake of MLK's death.

The report also highlighted Cuban radio outlets and others amplifying calls for violence from certain "black power" activists. One such message came from Stokely Carmichael, who urged Black Americans to "arm ourselves with rifles and pistols and launch an assault on the streets of the cities of the United States."

🧵1/8: SMOKE AND MIRRORS - Adam Schiff, Habitual Russia, Russia, Russia Peddler - Gets an A for consistency- too bad it’s consistent LIES:

Of course, Adam Schiff is out here today banging on about the firing of Maurene Comey (James Comey's daughter), his old Russia hoax ally. And 3 hours ago, he posted about the irony of Trump-world conspiracy theories now backfiring on him, with media facing similar extortionary pressures that Trump used to extract settlements from ABC and CBS. Still mocking "conspiracies" instead of owning his lies. Oh, the irony of the irony. 🙃

He's, of course, silent on DNI Gabbard's bombshell declass last night: Obama officials BURIED intel showing Russia DIDN'T interfere, then manufactured fake assessments post-election to frame Trump.

Since he's deflecting from the real hoax, let's flashback to Schiff's "evidence" of collusion—pure BS that divided America for years.

Thread 🧵

x.com/dnigabbard/sta… 2/8 Just yesterday, Schiff doubled down in this video statement reacting to President Trump's threats of prosecution.

He proudly referenced his "work on the investigation of Donald Trump connected to Russia" as valid oversight, with zero regret or revision.

“For years, really beginning with my work on the investigation of Donald Trump connected to Russia… Donald Trump has threatened to investigate me, prosecute me… accused me falsely of engaging in a variety of crimes.”

FALSELY? The man who spent 4 years lying about "evidence" he never had thinks HE'S the victim? He’s still portraying his hoax-pushing as heroic.

Classic Schiff.

DAILY MAIL🧵: 'Apocalyptic' wildfire closes in on Marseille, tornadoes form in the Med and Greece shuts Acropolis amid 42C heatwave while SNOW falls in Switzerland as Europe's extreme weather continues

Europe is once again being battered by extreme weather with 'apocalyptic' wildfires raging towards Marseille, tornadoes forming in the Med and even snow falling in Switzerland.

Out-of-control fires fuelled by strong winds are closing in on the southern French city with scores of firefighters deployed in a race against time to dampen flames before they reach homes on the outskirts.

Dramatic pictures show smoke blanketed over the city of 873,000 while officials have already closed the area's main airport. Meanwhile, other freak weather events were seen across the continent, including in Croatia, Greece, Spain Switzerland, and Turkey. 

Croatia saw towering waterspouts form across its coast, while tens of thousands in Spain's Tarragona were instructed to remain protected indoors as raging fires burned 3,000 hectares (7,413 acres) of vegetation to a crisp.

The Marseille wildfire, currently on the outskirts of the coastal city, has so far burned 700 hectares and damaged more than 10 buildings, a local official told reporters on Tuesday.

Georges-Francois Leclerc, the prefect for the area, added that there have been no reported fatalities in the fire.
Earlier, the city's airport was forced to closed at around midday local time, and no aircraft have been allowed to land or take off from the regional travel hub.

🧵President Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added. 2. The president also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.

“No,” Trump said when asked if he had any wish to do so.

BREAKING🚨: Biden/Hur Audio released:

Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn't have had, according to audio Axios obtained of his October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.

The newly released recordings of Biden having trouble recalling such details — while occasionally slurring words and muttering — shed light on why his White House refused to release the recordings last year, as questions mounted about his mental acuity. The audio shows what the transcript lacks — the president's dry-whisper voice and the long silences as he struggles to find the right words or dates. Those often were supplied by his attorneys, who acted as caretakers of his memory.

The attorneys had to remind Biden the year his son Beau died (2015) and when Trump was first elected (2016).

Also captured on the audio: the tick-tock of a grandfather clock in the White House's Map Room, where the interviews took place. It adds a metronomic measurement of Biden's halting speech — especially as he describes his book, Promise Me, Dad, about Beau's death from brain cancer at 46.
