Roger Waters reported to counter-terror police after declaring support for Palestine Action

Former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters has been reported to counter-terror police after sharing a Facebook post declaring his unwavering support of Palestine Action – a day after it was officially proscribed as a terrorist organisation.

In the three-minute clip, posted to Waters’ Facebook page just hours after the ban came into effect, the 81-year-old stated: “I support Palestine Action. And I always will because that is the right thing to do.”

He also shared a hand-written sign he’d made, which read: “Roger Waters supports Palestine Action 5th July 2025. Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power. Stand up and be counted its now.”

The proscription came into force at midnight on the morning of July 5.

Speaking to the camera, Waters declared: “I am Spartacus. OK, this is Independence Day, July 5th 2025. I declare my independence from the government of the UK who have just designated Palestine Action a terrorist – a proscribed terrorist organisation.

“For the record I support Palestine Action. It’s a great organisation. They are non-violent. They are absolutely not terrorist in any way.

“They are a non-violent protesting organization, protesting the presence in the UK of Elbit Systems who are an Israeli arms manufacturing organization. Alright so that’s that. I support Palestine Action. And I always will because that is the right thing to do.”

Caroline Turner, director of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), which reported Waters to counter-terrorism police, commented: “Palestine Action have been anything but a non-violent organisation, using sledgehammers to smash windows and machinery, and causing millions of pounds of damage over the past few years in order to intimidate the public and certain companies, and to advance their own ideological cause.

ICE Is Using A New Facial Recognition App To Identify People, Leaked Emails Show

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is using a new mobile phone app that can identify someone based on their fingerprints or face by simply pointing a smartphone camera at them, according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. The underlying system used for the facial recognition component of the app is ordinarily used when people enter or exit the U.S. Now, that system is being used inside the U.S. by ICE to identify people in the field.

The news highlights the Trump administration’s growing use of sophisticated technology for its mass deportation efforts and ICE’s enforcement of its arrest quotas. The document also shows how biometric systems built for one reason can be repurposed for another, a constant fear and critique from civil liberties proponents of facial recognition tools.

“Face recognition technology is notoriously unreliable, frequently generating false matches and resulting in a number of known wrongful arrests across the country. Immigration agents relying on this technology to try to identify people on the street is a recipe for disaster. Congress has never authorized DHS to use face recognition technology in this way, and the agency should shut this dangerous experiment down,” Nathan Freed Wessler, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, told 404 Media in an email.

“The Mobile Fortify App empowers users with real-time biometric identity verification capabilities utilizing contactless fingerprints and facial images captured by the camera on an ICE issued cell phone without a secondary collection device,” one of the emails, which was sent to all Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) personnel and seen by 404 Media, reads. ERO is the section of ICE specifically focused on deporting people.

The idea is for ICE to use this new tool to identify people whose identity ICE officers do not know. “This information can be used to identify unknown subjects in the field,” the email continues. “Officers are reminded that the fingerprint matching is currently the most accurate biometric indicator available in the application,” it adds, indicating that the fingerprint functionality is more accurate than the facial recognition component.

The emails also show the app has a “training range,” a feature that lets ICE officers practice capturing facial images and fingerprints in a “training non-live environment.”

A video posted to social media this month shows apparent ICE officers carefully pointing their phones at a protester in his vehicle, but it is not clear if the officers were taking ordinary photos or using this tool.

Broadly, facial recognition tools work by taking one image to be tested and comparing it to a database of other images. Clearview AI for example, a commercially available facial recognition tool which is used by law enforcement but which doesn’t appear to be related to this ICE tool, compares a photo to a massive database of peoples’ photos scraped from social media and the wider web.

Weight loss jab patients facing deadly organ failure risk, experts warn

  • A nurse warns that weight-loss injections like Mounjaro are prescribed without crucial blood tests, risking pancreatitis, organ failure, and death.
  • UK regulators are investigating more than 560 reports of pancreas inflammation and ten deaths linked to GLP-1 agonist drugs.
  • Mandatory blood screening could identify high-risk patients, but corporate providers prioritize profits over safety, skipping safeguards.
  • Post-market data reveals severe risks, including contraceptive failure, muscle wasting, and blindness, yet manufacturers downplay dangers.
  • Experts demand stricter regulations, pre-screenings, and holistic obesity care instead of profit-driven pharmaceutical shortcuts.

A medical whistleblower has exposed a life-threatening oversight in the booming weight loss injection industry, revealing that thousands of patients are being prescribed potent GLP-1 agonist drugs like Mounjaro without critical blood tests that could prevent pancreatitis, sepsis, and fatal organ failure.

As UK regulators investigate more than 560 reports of pancreas inflammation and ten deaths linked to these “miracle” injections, frontline healthcare workers are demanding immediate reforms to protect vulnerable patients from Big Pharma’s reckless profit-driven protocols.

Houston Leftist Booted from Food Insecurity Board After VILE Comment Calling Missing Girls’ Flooded Camp “White-Only Girls Camp”

A far-left activist in Houston has been booted from the city’s Food Insecurity Board after outrage erupted over a vile, racially charged TikTok rant mocking a Christian summer camp where several young girls were swept away during devastating floods in Texas.

Sade Perkins, a 2023 appointee of former Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner, mocked the tragedy in a now-viral TikTok video by labeling Camp Mystic — a private Christian girls’ retreat in the Texas Hill Country — as a “white-only girls’ camp.”

The timing could not have been more grotesque. Young campers and a counselor are still missing, and at least 82 people are confirmed dead after the Guadalupe River exploded 26 feet in 45 minutes, sweeping cabins, staff, and children downstream.

Sade Perkins: “I know I’m probably going to get canceled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls’ Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token Black person. It is an all-white, white-only, conservative Christian camp.

If you ain’t white, you ain’t right. You ain’t getting in. You ain’t going—period.

I think that context needs to be said in this matter. It’s not to say that we don’t want the girls to be found—whatever girls are missing or whatever right now. But you best believe, especially in today’s political climate, if this were a group of Hispanic girls—especially with them being in East Texas, where it would most likely be Hispanic—this would not be getting the type of attention that it’s getting. No one would give a fuck.

And all these white people—the parents of these little girls—would be saying things like, “They need to be deported. They shouldn’t have been here in the first place,” and yada, yada, yada.

So before y’all come at me, before y’all start leaving hate comments on my page about, “Oh, these are just kids and they don’t know no better…”

The parents of these children are choosing—and it is a choice in 2025—it is definitely a freaking choice to go into East goddamn Texas and make an all-white enclave, exclusionary just for white people. With all the Black people in East Texas, with all the Hispanic people in East Texas, somehow, some way, you have carved out an all-white, whites-only enclave in East Texas for your white children.

Yeah, I have a problem with that. I have a big problem with that.

Once again, this is no shade to the girls. I hope they all get found. But once again, y’all have to understand the climate that we’re living in. They want you to have sympathy for these people. They want you to get out of your bed and come out of your home to go find these people, to donate your money to go find these people.

Meanwhile, they are deporting your family members. Meanwhile, they’re setting up concentration camps in prisons for your family members. And I need y’all to keep that in mind before you get out there, put on your rain boots, and go find these little girls.”

Russia Army Captures Two More Settlements In 3rd Straight Month Of Advance In Ukraine’s East

Russia’s military announced on Sunday that its forces had taken control of two additional settlements in eastern Ukraine, specifically one in the Donetsk region and the other in Kharkiv.

The statements indicated the villages of Piddubne in Donetsk and Sobolivka in Kharkiv are now under Russian control, though the Ukrainian side has not yet acknowledged this.

Piddubne had an estimated pre-war population of about 500 and is located merely 4 miles from the Dnipropetrovsk oblast border.

As for, Sobolivka, it lies about two miles west of Kupiansk and is outside of areas previously claimed by Russia, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a couple of social media posts that its troops had “liberated” the settlements, and made reference to “Poddubnoye” and “Sobolevka” – according to the Russian spellings.

According to analysis presented in AFP, this marks the third straight month of Russian forces’ advance in Ukraine’s east, after stagnant front lined during the winter.

“Russia’s military advance in June accelerated for a third consecutive month and made its largest advance since November, according to AFP’s analysis of data from US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW),” AFP writes.

“The Russian army took 588 square kilometers (227 square miles) of Ukrainian territory in June, compared with 507 square kilometers in May, 379 square kilometers in April, and 240 square kilometers in March, according to ISW data,” the publication adds.

Drone assaults from both sides continues to be a feature of the war, with Russia just days ago having unleashed an unprecedented 500 drones on Ukraine.

Kiev was targeted again overnight Friday, and the next day the city’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said the number of people killed had increased to two, with an additional 31 people wounded.

Wait, What? If There Was No Epstein Client List Then Why Did NY Court Refuse The Gateway Pundit’s Legal Request for the List Based on an Anonymous ‘John Doe’ Who Was On the List?

On Sunday night the Department of Justice and FBI released a document that concluded that notorious child predator Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he was not murdered but committed suicide.

The FBI released a video that shows an empty hallway in what they insist proves Epstein committed suicide.

The FBI memo says there is no evidence that Epstein blackmailed powerful political figures.

Additionally, the memo suggests that no further Epstein records will be released.

Here is a copy of the letter that was released by the DOJ and FBI on Sunday night.

Zohran Mamdani describes literal communism and it’s what he wants to do to New York City

Zohran Mamdani proposes literal communism for housing in New York City: a real threat to private property and the free market

Socialism is no longer hiding behind feel-good phrases or idealistic speeches. In New York City, Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani has made it clear he wants to push his economic vision to the extreme: eliminate the free market and replace it with full-blown communism, starting with housing. His recent statements are as alarming as they are revealing, and should concern not only New York voters but the entire country.

Mamdani wants to create Community Land Trusts to gradually buy private housing and convert it into “community property.” In other words, absorb or confiscate the wealth of thousands of homeowners under the guise of social justice. On top of that, he proposes giving tenants the right of first refusal to buy their buildings when they go on sale — a surefire way to drive away real estate investment and kill private initiative.

And that’s not all. His plan includes removing subsidies for luxury developments — which often help fund public services and improve city infrastructure — and redirecting that wealth to build “social housing.” In practice, this would mean state-run projects with excessive regulation and little quality control. History has proven these centralized solutions lead to decay, not thriving communities.

These aren’t just vague theories. Mamdani openly admits that his political goal is “to take control of the means of production,” a line taken straight from the communist playbook. This mindset has no place in a city that owes its prosperity to commerce, entrepreneurship, and individual liberty.

Mamdani wants to implement this communist agenda in the financial capital of the world. Could there be anything more ironic? The very city that stands as a monument to free enterprise would be run by someone who despises it. If he succeeds, he won’t just damage New York — he’ll set a dangerous precedent for cities across America.

As National Review points out, his plans extend beyond housing to include grocery stores, utilities, and more — all showing a clear pattern of total state control. These ideas have failed miserably in Venezuela, Cuba, and the former Soviet Union. Importing them into New York is not just foolish, it’s a betrayal of everything that made the city great.

Iran: Reward to Assassinate President Trump Rises – Jumps to $21 Million

The THAAR.IR regime-linked website in Iran is offering over $21 million to the person who assassinates President Donald Trump.

The reward size increased by several million in recent weeks.

The reward was first reported at the Iran So Far Away Substack.

The website was also includes several reasons why they are urging the assassination of the US leader.

The so-called crimes include bombing the Iranian nuclear sites, calling the regime ‘terrorists’, killing terror leader Qassem Soleimani and exiting the lousy JCPOA nuclear agreement.

An Iranian Ayatollah in June issued a fatwa calling on Muslims worldwide to assassinate President Trump.

DHS Has Another Interesting Observation on Those Violent Mexico City Protests About ‘Gringos’

People got a big reminder over the weekend that leftist violent protests aren’t just something that happens in this country when things got out of hand in Mexico City on Friday. 

As we reported, there was a protest where hundreds came out against “gentrification” in the tourist areas, upset that foreigners, including many Americans, have moved into the area. Some of the signs were ironically fascinating. 

Masked protesters smashed through the windows and looted high-end businesses in the touristic areas of Condesa and Roma, and screamed at tourists in the area. Graffiti on glass shattered glass being smashed through with rocks read: “get out of Mexico.” Protesters held signs reading “gringos, stop stealing our home” and demanding local legislation to better regulate tourism levels and stricter housing laws.

Matt Vespa at our sister site, Townhall, picked up The NY Times description.

“Your new home is an invasion,” “We shouldn’t feel like foreigners in our own land,” and “Expat = gentrifier,” photos and videos of the protests showed.

There were also signs “Mexico for Mexicans” and “gringo go home.”

In this video, you can see protesters harassing tourists, smashing windows, with even one person spray painting, “Kill a gringo” on a building.

If Jeffrey Epstein Had No Client List Then Why Did AG Pam Bondi Tell Reporters the List “Is Sitting on My Desk Right Now to Review – That’s in the Process of Being Reviewed”

The Swamp wants you to believe—once and for all—that Jeffrey Epstein was nothing more than a lone-wolf pervert who conveniently “killed himself” in a filthy Manhattan jail cell.

Axios dropped a two-page memo this weekend, from President Trump’s DOJ and the newly installed FBI leadership of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Dan Bongino, asserting that:

  • Epstein definitively died by suicide;
  • No “client list” exists;
  • And there is “no evidence” he ever blackmailed the powerful.

The memo reads:

As part of our commitment to transparency, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted an exhaustive review of investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein. To ensure that the review was thorough, the FBI conducted digital searches of its databases, hard drives, and network drives as well as physical searches of squad areas, locked cabinets, desks, elosets, and other areas where responsive material may have been stored. These searches uncovered a significant amount of material, including more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence.

The files relating to Epstein include a large volume of images of Epstein, images and videos of victims who are either minors or appear to be minors, and over ten thousand downloaded videos and images of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography. Teams of agents, analysts, attorneys, and privacy and civil liberties experts combed through the digital and documentary evidence with the aim of providing as much information as possible to the public while simultaneously protecting victims. Much of the material is subject to court-ordered sealing. Only a fraction of this material would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial, as the seal served only to protect victims and did not expose any additional third-parties to allegations of illegal wrongdoing. Through this review, we found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials and will not permit the release of child pornography.

This systematic review revealed no incriminating “client list.” There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.

Consistent with prior disclosures, this review confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims. Each suffered unique trauma. Sensitive information relating to these victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific details such as victim names and likenesses, physical descriptions, places of birth, associates, and employment history.

One of our highest priorities is combatting child exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends.

To that end, while we have labored to provide the public with maximum information regarding Epstein and ensured examination of any evidence in the government’s possession, it is the determination of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.

After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019.

This conclusion is consistent with previous findings, including the August 19, 2019 autopsy findings of the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the November 2019 position of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in connection with the investigation of federal correctional officers responsible for guarding Epstein, and the June 2023 conclusions of DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General.

The conclusion that Epstein died by suicide is further supported by video footage from the common area of the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where Epstein was housed at the time of his death. As DOJ’s Inspector General explained in 2023, anyone entering or attempting to enter the tier where Epstein’s cell was located from the SHU common area would have been captured by this footage. The FBI’s independent review of this footage confirmed that from the time Epstein was locked in his cell at around 10:40 pm on August 9, 2019, until around 6:30 am the next morning, nobody entered any of the tiers in the SHU.

During this review, the FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color, and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and viewability.
