Social Control Media is Good for Forgeries, Not Information

Take a look at the tweets below, as recent as hours. I added green highlights.

A crude screenshot of a purported apology by me circulated widely. I assumed that no thoughtful person could be taken in by it but as a precaution I explicitly stated, and now repeat, it was faked. My legal advice was that I had a strong defence. I hence stood firm.

Why does he still bother with x.com (at all) at this point?

Reaping What They Sow

Hamas terror

The insensitive behaviour of Brett Wilson LLP last year [1, 2, 3] was a self-inflicted wound, as it was not the first time, far from it, but this time it was more blatant and likely intentional (they like to attack people during holidays, they effectively weaponise religion). In this particular case it was a mistake as they know that in this sector being seen as antisemitic is career suicide and, to make matters worse, their biggest client is alleged to be profoundly antisemitic. Freedom fighters don’t massacre dogs and civilians.

Ukraine’s Independence Day

The 24th of August is Ukraine’s Independence Day, not just Rianne’s birthday. She happens to know someone born on the same day (same year, too, so literally hours apart) and she sometimes sees her.

The birthday of Ukraine represents freedom from Russia or USSR.

Who would excuse the occupation of Ukraine by Russia and why?

Election Lost, But Publicity Won

I think it is fair to say that Pocock’s political success boils down to “free publicity”, not securing a seat in the EU, Ireland, or the UK.

He seems to have strategically chosen an election precinct that’s guaranteed to attract media attention. 33 other folks chose the same.

When Your Town Elects a Bigot It Becomes a Circus

Friday briefing: ?Nigel Farage’s Clacton ?circus ?is finally over, but ?his ?financial ?reckoning ?is just beginning

I think it’s fair to say that the Clacton by-election became a feeding frenzy for people who knew entering would guarantee much media attention.

People who don’t live in Clacton entered.

There were people whose entire platform was satirical.

Even some of the policies were, in effect, jokes.

Some local media moaned that Clacton election turned the town/area into a “circus” or an international laughing stock.

Daniel Pocock Has Beaten 7 Candidates in the Election

Daniel-Pocock-ballots

Based on these results from the Clacton by-election, 7 candidates received fewer votes than Daniel Pocock.

We hoped he’d win hundreds of vote(r)s, but he got 16.

Daniel Pocock’s campaign did, however, attract a lot of press.

Daniel Pocock in Radio New Zealand (RNZ) Today

They basically reposted what ABC had published hours prior:

Nigel Farage faces Count Binface and 32 others in Britain's strangest by-election

There is also former actor and right-wing Reclaim Party leader Laurence Fox, independents Attieh Fard, Andy Erlam and Nick Pelas, and Melbourne-born candidate Daniel Pocock.
