Not all Jews celebrate St. Valentine's Day because he was a 3rd century Roman priest who became a martyr. It is ostensibly a Christian (Catholic) holiday that became a secular one.

In addition, the Strasbourg Massacre took place on February 14, 1349, where approximately 2,000 Jewish men, women and children were burned alive or killed by public executions after false accusations were made that Jews poisoned a well during the Black Death pogroms.

These accusations were completely false.

This happened during the Black Death, when panic and fear were widespread across Europe. Jews were targeted because they were a visible religious minority and due to their being more hygienic (Jewish law required regular washing) ...

Epstein's Files: The Truth and Objectives 😱

The truth is that those who burned their reputation & became obsolete, from the people who served Zionism, were deliberately leaked by Mossad through US Department of Justice as a pressure tactic on other names whose scandals.1/6👇👇

,.whose scandals weren't revealed & whose names were covered up & misled in the Epstein files that have been leaked so far.

Therefore, it's certain that Mossad still has names, both Arab & Western, whose services to Zionism are still active and haven't been exposed yet...2/6👇👇

If you want to know these names, review the positions and events that have unfolded on the Arab and international scenes since the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle until today...3/6👇👇

In 1945, Ash Wednesday fell on the 14th of February.

Between 13 and 15 February, British and American bombers engaged in one of history’s most notorious war crimes — the firebombing of Dresden.

The height of the bombing campaign was Ash Wednesday.

By February of 1945, World War II, in the European theatre, was essentially over. The Allies had won — the Axis lay in ruins. For the Allies, however, it was never about winning the war — their goals were greater, more expansive.

And so the campaigns continued. The bombing of Berlin was, by this time, already underway for weeks.

Dresden, a city with no military importance and a cultural gem of Europe, was chosen as a target for psychological and punitive purposes. By this point in the war, Dresden housed primarily women, children, the injured, and refugees. The Allied goal was to destroy the German spirit and slaughter the German people.

But this was not all.

Brooklyn, NY has a home care billing industry that defies belief.

One zip code (11232, Sunset Park) has 30,181 residents and $3.8 BILLION in Medicaid claims. That's $143,000 per man, woman, and child.

What's even stranger is that the average income is $90K, the poverty rate is below 20%, and it is one of the younger zip codes in the area.

WTF!!! What da actual fuck is going on here?

This is one of the craziest stories you'll read here

They call us “nativists” as if it’s a slur.

If it is wrong to be on the side of our fellow Americans, what is it to be right?

Coretta Scott King and the Black Leadership Forum wrote Congress urging not to repeal employer sanctions, warning cheap labor would devastate Black & Hispanic workers, drive down wages, and overwhelm cities already struggling with housing shortages. Read her letter.

In 1988, Kamala Harris’ father Donald Harris co-authored ‘Black Economic Progress,’ warning that immigration laws flooding the U.S. with low-skilled workers were a ‘particularly serious problem for blacks’ competing for jobs.

Seems pretty “nativist” to me.

1) So what are they both talking about here. How are they going to do it? I think they both got overconfident and accidentally showed their hand. Because I think I discovered how they’re going to try this. And why Homeland Security is involved. Let’s begin⬇️

2) Back in February 2025, Homeland Security was already talking about elections. Basically building up a disinformation pretext under the aegis of official business. Let’s see what this says next⬇️

3) Here’s how it begins. Notice that “Federal Executive Branch Agencies”? That means controlled by Trump. They’re making that point clear. And then you see what’s said afterwards—their “roles and responsibilities” in US elections. Let’s continue⬇️

@RyanGirdusky @mattyglesias At some point, sadly, the larger society is not in a position to save adults who don’t want to help themselves.

Don’t go to international waters to escape government regulation and get into an unsafe submarine to visit the Titanic.

The Laughing Coloniser: How a Reaction Meme Reproduces the Textbook Colonial Grammar of Denial of Scotland’s Colonisation

Below I analyse a colonial meme attacking Scots and Scotland posted in an X post that I am quoting. The post comes from a relatively anonymous and low visibility account styled “medieval memelord” @medievalmlord, which mainly circulates history themed memes. Authorship remains unknown. Provenance remains opaque. No conclusive attribution can be made on the basis of an account profile alone. Yet, the narrative architecture of the meme is highly legible and suspicious. The meme performs a recognisable colonial operation against Scots and Scotland, and that operation does not correspond to the realities of Scotland’s colonisation by the English colonial state, including continued non-sovereignty and colonial annexation in the present.

The meme’s structure is brutally simple. India, Jamaica, and Ireland appear as moral witness figures. A facial expression of exaggerated disbelief supplies the emotional verdict. Scottish claims of colonisation are framed as laughable. No evidence is offered. No constitutional history is engaged. No conceptual definition of colonialism is attempted. The meme does not argue. The meme disciplines.

That move is textbook colonial technique.

Colonial rule has always required more than military coercion and economic extraction. Colonial rule also requires narrative control, because colonisation must become thinkable as normal and resistance must become thinkable as absurd. A reaction meme achieves precisely that function. Laughter becomes a technology of governance. Ridicule becomes a border checkpoint for legitimacy. The viewer is nudged into a reflex: do not examine, do not compare, do not enquire, do not dignify. Accept the inherited common sense that the colonial state’s constitutional story cannot be reopened. The English colonial state has done this everywhere on earth.

The meme’s first manoeuvre is the production of a hierarchy of colonial legitimacy. India represents famine, extraction, and mass domination. Jamaica represents plantation slavery and racial terror. Ireland represents conquest, dispossession, and suppression. These cases carry undeniable historical weight. The meme exploits that weight to impose a moral ranking system: colonialism is real only where atrocity looks like the most spectacular and internationally recognised forms of colonial violence. Every other modality becomes unworthy of the category. Scotland is pushed outside the circle of intelligibility through moral comparison rather than historical method. This is of course a lie since Scotland's colonisation is fully documented and the crimes of the English coloniser in Scotland are immense.

This is not solidarity with colonised peoples but weaponisation of their histories as a policing instrument against another colonised claim. The English colonial state has no shame.

Colonial regimes have repeatedly used moral ranking to fracture coalitions. Divide and rule has never belonged solely to administrative practice. Divide and rule also belongs to epistemology. A hierarchy of suffering forces subordinated groups into competition for recognition, then frames mutual recognition as theft. The effect is predictable. Solidarity becomes harder while comparative analysis becomes taboo. The coloniser enjoys a quieter field.

The Laughing Coloniser: How a Reaction Meme Reproduces the Textbook Colonial Grammar of Denial of Scotland’s Colonisation

2/ The meme’s second manoeuvre is definitional sabotage. Colonialism is silently reduced to one narrow image: overseas plantation slavery and distant racial domination. This reduction is a classic colonial tactic because colonialism has never been a single form. Moreover, it must immediately be added that Scots suffer, until today, for extreme racism and Scotophobia from the English coloniser. Colonialism functions through multiple modalities that share a common structure: asymmetry of authority and constrained self-determination. Plantation colonies represent one modality. Settler colonialism represents another. Annexation through treaty under duress represents another. Fiscal absorption, administrative centralisation, cultural marginalisation, demographic engineering, elite replacement, and language suppression represent further modalities. A colonial state adapts form to terrain while preserving structure. Scotland has been exposed to all including ethnic cleansing and genocide; and represents the matrix, the core model of English colonial rule applied around the world.

The meme depends on a single image of colonialism precisely to try and deny Scotland’s case since the world has been lied to by the English colonial state about its terrible colonialism in Scotland. The meme avoids any serious definition or conceptualisation which would force attention towards sovereignty, constitutional authority, fiscal command, institutional supremacy, and the long durée of structural subordination. That terrain is dangerous for colonial narrative stability. So the meme evacuates definition and replaces definition with derision.

The meme’s third manoeuvre is the collaborator trap. The meme implies that any Scots who were co-opted within the English colonial state’s global project invalidate Scotland’s colonised status. This is one of the oldest colonial manoeuvres in existence. Colonial governance routinely recruits intermediaries from subordinated territories. Local elites gain access to power, wealth, networks, and prestige through the colonial apparatus. The colonial centre then uses that elite incorporation as propaganda: see, consent exists, partnership & co-ownership exists. An English colonial lie. That logic appears across colonial history with numbing regularity.

A serious analysis separates individual participation from collective sovereignty. Colonial collaboration is compatible with colonised status. Colonialism is by definition a collaborative project with certain native elites. Otherwise it fails. In many cases, colonial collaboration is evidence of colonisation’s success in reorganising incentives, status hierarchies, and channels of advancement. When a colonised territory loses sovereign control over core decisions, individual advancement within the dominant apparatus does not restore national autonomy. The collaborator trope is designed to collapse that distinction, because the distinction is fatal to colonial storytelling. Scotland remains an English colony, annexed and plundered until now.

A comparative and chronological perspective further exposes the collaborator fallacy embedded in the meme. Scottish involvement in the English Caribbean before 1707 was limited in scale and structurally constrained. English Navigation Acts restricted Scottish access to colonial markets. Prior to the colonial Union i.e. annexation, very few Scots participated in colonialism, compared to Irish for example; many of them professionals especially doctors rather than major plantation magnates. The dramatic expansion of Scottish participation occurred only after incorporation into the Anglo-British state granted access to imperial trade networks. Scots were already a colonised people.

The Laughing Coloniser: How a Reaction Meme Reproduces the Textbook Colonial Grammar of Denial of Scotland’s Colonisation

3/ By contrast, Irish presence in English colonial territories predates 1707 by decades when almost no Scots were involved. Irish were far more present. Following the Cromwellian conquest, thousands of Irish were forcibly transported to Caribbean colonies such as Barbados and Montserrat, the latter developing a strong Irish demographic character in the 17th century. Even more revealing is the case of British India. By 1945 the colonial state had mobilised approximately 2.5 million Indian soldiers, widely recognised as the largest volunteer army of the Second World War. Indian troops were deployed across Africa and Southeast Asia, including Indonesia in 1945 during British attempts to reassert colonial control. More than 1.5 million Indians were transported through the indenture system across the colonial world. In Burma, Indian migrants were frequently perceived locally as intermediaries of colonial administration. These examples illustrate a structural constant of colonial governance: subordinated populations are routinely incorporated at scale into the expansion of colonial power. Co-optation does not equal sovereignty. Participation does not negate subordination.

The meme’s fourth manoeuvre is ridicule as symbolic violence. Ridicule converts a constitutional question into a social stigma. The viewer is not invited to examine evidence. The viewer is invited to adopt a posture. This is a form of narrative policing that operates beneath formal argument. Social shame performs the work that censorship would otherwise need to perform. In a colonial context, such shame is not incidental. Shame is governance by other means. A population begins to self censor. A claim begins to appear unserious. A debate begins to feel socially costly. The English colonial state is used to this type of manoeuvres against colonised people like Scots.

The meme’s fifth manoeuvre is epistemic erasure through homogenisation. The meme smuggles a taken for granted category, “Britain,” as a neutral container. The category is treated as morally indivisible and politically innocent. But in reality “British” functions as a colonial veil for an English centred sovereign, colonial power. Under that lens, a constitutional story of equality becomes a technique of misrecognition. Misrecognition is a core colonial method. The colonised are encouraged to name the coloniser’s state as their own, then accused of incoherence when they describe colonial domination. Language becomes a weapon. Naming becomes capture.

A colonial state benefits enormously when the colonised must speak in the coloniser’s grammar. That grammar carries built in limits. Certain questions become unsayable. Certain structures become natural. The meme draws power from that grammar; relying on the common sense that Scotland must be described through the very category that sustains Scotland’s subordination. Such reliance is precisely why the meme looks colonial. Colonialism reproduces itself through everyday categories that make colonial subjugation appear ordinary.

The meme’s sixth manoeuvre is moral laundering. India, Jamaica, and Ireland are placed in the frame not to honour their suffering but to launder the colonial state’s legitimacy. The meme implies that acknowledging Scotland would dilute recognition of “real” colonialism, and thereby casts the colonial state as the guardian of anti-colonial morality. That inversion is a hallmark of colonial ideology. Colonial power frequently represents itself as the administrator of civilisation, the protector of order, the curator of legitimacy. The meme extends that logic into the moral domain. The colonial state, through the meme’s logic, becomes the arbiter of who counts as colonised.

That role belongs to the coloniser’s epistemic sovereignty. The coloniser claims authority over the classification of reality.
