      The Dragonfly project was an Internet search engine prototype created by Google that was designed to be compatible with China’s state censorship provisions.[1][2][3] The public learned of Dragonfly’s existence in August 2018, when The Intercept leaked an internal memo written by a Google employee about the project.[4][5] In December 2018, Dragonfly was reported to have “effectively been shut down” after a clash with members of the privacy team within Google.[6] However, according to employees, work on Dragonfly was still continuing as of March 2019, with some 100 people still allocated to it.[7]

      In July 2019, Google announced that work on Dragonfly had been terminated.[8]

    World at one

    The BBC has remembered there are ‘hostages ‘ in Gaza again . It doesn’t want to mention its’ ally – Islamic Hamas or its vile conduct in slaughter on 7 October or taking hostages as pawns in a ‘negotiation ‘…
    Instead it just wants to go for the Israeli PM – who is ‘unapproved ‘..
    And now a hare brained plan for Obama to negotiate a release of hostages with US passports …

    I know I’m not connected to the whole business – but perhaps a policy should be set by Israel that hostages will never be the subject of negotiations – so there is no value in abducting and torturing people as is happening now .

    Instead Israel should just increase the response to Hamas Palestine ….if only to make it clear to Islamic Hamas what will happen if it does a 7 October again …

    Keep going IDF .. do what must be done

    Another clueless writeup from a Dutch academic in the Guardian struggling to make sense of the political landscape. As is always the case, he’s not able to imagine any scenario other than a stupid electorate bamboozled by fraudulent populists: “Don’t blame voters for a far right surge in Europe. Blame the far right’s mainstream copycats”.

    The good news is that those not buying it are the highest rated comments:

    —————
    “The ‘far right’ as the author calls them would lose most of their influence overnight if Countries just did something about immigration. People are fed up having to put up with it at the levels it is.”
    ——
    “For the thousandth time… If voters felt that their concerns were being understood and addressed by the cuddly centrists, then the ‘far right’ (what does that even mean any more?) would have nothing to offer them. Plainly, that isn’t the case.”

      “Consider this, I give this example. If immigration continues at the levels it has average over the last ten years. Britain will be adding 10 million people to it’s population in the next 20 years. That means building a new house roughly every seven minutes. Now, we currently have no leadership from the Liberal Democrats, Conservative or Labour Parties saying they are going to do anything to change that course. @5:56 … if any party wishing to get into power doesn’t address this they are committing political suicide….@10:30″ {youtube – Douglas Murray – oct2015}

      “An Australian company that runs a strategically crucial heavy rare earth project has been revealed to have been targeted in a suspected cyber attack as Treasurer Jim Chalmers orders Chinese investors to be removed.

      On Monday Mr Chalmers instructed Yuxio Fund and four other international companies linked to China to divest their shares in Northern Minerals which operates the Browns Range mine in Western Australia’s Kimberley region.

      The Australian company wants to become the first substantial producer of dysprosium — a key component used in electric vehicles — outside of China.”

      @DougAMacgregor
      BREAKING: NATO now planning to get US troops to the front-line to fight RUSSIA..

      What are they thinking?

      NATO has disclosed its preparations to deploy American troops to the European frontlines in the event of a full-scale conflict with Russia.

      Innovative ‘land corridors’ are being established to expedite the movement of soldiers through central Europe, bypassing local bureaucratic hurdles.

      This strategic setup enables NATO forces to swiftly react should Putin’s aggressive actions in Ukraine extend westward.

      Reports suggest that these plans also encompass provisions for potential Russian attacks.

      In such scenarios, troops could mobilize through corridors in Italy, Greece, and Turkey to reach the Balkans, or alternatively, advance towards Russia’s northern border via Scandinavia.

      These details were shared by officials with The Telegraph.”

    Top story on the scumbc is that Nigel Farage has had a drink thrown at him. Why is this top story? Also, she “only gave her name as victoria”. Didn’t the police take her surname when they arrested her? She will have to give it to the magistrate when she has her day in court.
    I was going to say “Tell her employer too” but I’d put money on her not having a job.
    Actually I’d put money on her not being arrested either.
    Why can’t the courts jail these oiks for 48 hours? That’s all it would take to inconvenience them, and for the responsible adults in their lives to see what they are.
    The craziest thing is that they would describe themselves as democratic. Hypocrisy with a capital hyp.

        Judging by the initial coverage of Clacton by GB News it looked very informal but with a lot of people ( supporters ) there …

        I’d volunteer my services as I have experience in logistics and planning and contingencies … but alas my over 2000 miles away ….
        When such things occur it’s important it doesn’t become a ‘pattern ‘ particularly if mr farage goes to more hostile places with more organised threats ….

    Is it appropriate for @r4Today presenter Mishal Husein, to become involved in an hostile clash with Nigel Farage about his view that Muslims are not subscribing to British values, when as a Muslim herself, she clearly has her own private thoughts about the subject?
    With ratings collapsing on the show, the editor and producers saw the stand-off as an audience winner. They were wrong.
    The palpable irritability of Ms Husein got in the way of a deep dive into Farage’s thinking.
    A mistake for her both journalistically and personally. After a decade it’s time to move on. Mastermind and University Challenge have gone, but I’m sure something could be found.

    As ever, the #tellitoftenenough crowd deployed to claim ‘not enough dead Jews’ was a voice of sweet reason.

    British values – another scum BBC employees put a hitler moustache on green card and others – from thr DT

    Starts
    A BBC cricket pundit has apologised for posting a photo on social media of Rishi Sunak with an Adolf Hitler moustache as he attacked the Government’s policy over Gaza.

    Qasim Sheikh, a former Scotland international cricketer who has just been appointed to the corporation’s commentary team, retweeted a picture featuring the Prime Minister, alongside other international leaders with similar moustaches added.

    The original post on X, formerly Twitter, has the caption “remember these child killers” while text on the image reads: “Kids Killer Union.”

    Mr Sunak is seen alongside Joe Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, with their respective flags displayed on their foreheads.

    The group also includes Emmanuel Macron, the French president, and Giorgia Meloni and Justin Trudeau, the Italian and Canadian prime ministers.

    Mr Sheikh has now apologised for “any offence caused” in a statement issued by the BBC, indicating the broadcaster intends to keep him post.

    He said: “If my messages have caused people to think I am supporting the attacks of Oct 7, then that would not sit well with me, and I apologise for any offence this has caused. I would never seek to support any loss of innocent lives. That was not my intention.

    “I welcome the opportunity to clearly state my views. I have been clear from the outset that the killing of innocent lives is wrong. There is no way I would support what happened on Oct 7 as acceptable, it was morally reprehensible.

    “As is the ongoing situation in Gaza where many innocent lives continue to be lost – many of which are women and children. I will continue to call for a stop on the killing of innocent civilians, my message is clear for a ceasefire and a stop to all conflict.”

    Mr Sheikh, 39, shared the post in January among a series of others which criticised Israel’s retaliatory action following Hamas’s Oct 7 attacks.

    He also accused Israel of lying about the al-Ahli hospital rocket attack, in which hundreds of people died on Oct 17. Israel has denied responsibility for the strike and blamed a misfired rocket from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

    One of his posts read: “Many innocent Palestinians have just lost their lives in a hospital bombing. To make it even worse the oppressor Israel has tried to blame someone else for the bombing.”

    Israel demands BBC ‘upholds standards’
    In the wake of Hamas’s attack on Israel, which killed around 1,200 people, Mr Sheikh said: “The UK/US instantly stand with Israel today, although they have stayed quiet for years on the atrocities committed by Israel over Palestine. Claiming Palestine has no justification to attack, don’t they have a right to defend themselves.”

    He also accused both Mr Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, of being “genocide enablers”.

    Orly Goldschmidt, an Israeli embassy spokesman, said: “We condemn all anti-Semitic acts and remarks. We expect the BBC to uphold its stated editorial values and standards, and believe such standards should be applied wherever such ani-Semitic rhetoric occurs within the organisation.”

    The messages emerged after Mr Sheikh, who was capped 27 times for Scotland, was hired by the BBC to provide commentary for the T20 World Cup which started over the weekend.

    On Tuesday, Mr Sheikh will make his debut for England’s opening group stage match against Scotland in Bridgetown, Barbados.

    In 2022, he spoke out about the “devastating” racism he suffered while playing for Scotland after an independent review that highlighted 448 examples of institutional racism and led to the resignation of the entire Cricket Scotland board.

    The BBC introduced social media guidelines to improve impartiality in September following a review of its policies. The guidelines state that presenters of “flagship programmes” must not “criticise the character of individual politicians”.

    The guidelines also require “respect and civility in public discourse”.They were introduced after a series of tweets by Gary Lineker, the presenter of Match of the Day, in which he was critical of the government.Ends
