Why did the prime minister have to hold a press conference before MPs had their big debate today (April 22)? Is it because Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda ‘game changer’ is like ‘feeding a kitten to a hungry crocodile’? Here’s video of him announcing that shipping innocent people off to detention in Africa will stop boatfuls of […]
Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda ‘game changer’ is like ‘feeding a kitten to a hungry crocodile’
From the passage of sweeping federal legislation to the halting of major fossil fuel projects, the climate movement — particularly its youth-led contingent — has won astonishing recent victories. These couldn’t come at a more important time, as the climate crisis only continues to worsen. Last year was far and away the warmest ever recorded, with temperature spikes that took even scientists by surprise. It was also exceptional when it came to extreme weather in the U.S. and around the world.

Intelligence agencies have creative ways of forcing politicians to do their bidding, the conservative journalist claimed
Members of Congress consistently vote in favor of mass surveillance programs because they’re “terrified” that intelligence agencies will plant “kiddie porn” on their computers if they speak up, American journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed.
Carlson appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast on Friday, hours before the US Senate voted to renew Section 702 of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Ostensibly created to allow intelligence agencies such as the FBI and CIA to surveil the communications of foreigners, Section 702 allows these agencies to access data ‘indirectly’ collected from millions of American citizens without a warrant.

According to Carlson, a number of lawmakers actually opposed this renewal, but did not admit this publicly.
“People don’t say that because they’re worried about being punished,” Carlson told Rogan. “They’re worried about someone putting kiddie porn on their computer. Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies. I’m not guessing at that. They’ve told me that, including people on the [intelligence] committee, including people who run the intel committee.”

“They’re afraid of the agencies,” he stated, adding: “That’s not compatible with democracy.”
“It’s playing out in front of everyone, and no one cares and no one does anything about it,” Carlson continued. “I think the reason is because they’re threatened. And if you look at the committee chairmen who allowed this s**t to happen year after year… I know them. And they have all the things to hide. I know that for a fact.”
