#Decades

I am going to describe some painful and personal things in relation to Russell Brand because I have been put in a position now where I feel that I have no choice other than to do so, given the misleading reports and speculation around the facts of a harassment injunction that was taken out to protect me and my family. Firstly, and most importantly, I am and have always been strongly and unequivocally on the side of all of Brand’s victims. I am in awe of the courageous women who came forward at Brand’s trial, told their stories, testified and ensured justice was done. I have had my own personal experience of his violence, coercive control and abuse. I had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident. I chose not to press charges at the time and not to go public with this, as I was worried about the impact of the press attention on my then teenage children. I have neither seen nor spoken to Brand since that period in 2014. Whilst my pain in relation to this, pales in comparison to what the women have testified in court have suffered, this was a difficult period in my life which has had a lasting impact. Over several years, I assisted the journalists who finally exposed him; Ros Urwin, Louisa Compton and Dorothy Byrne.  I also undertook to testify in court to his abusiveness, if the newspaper that published the victims’ accounts were ever to be sued. I have spent much of my professional career trying to support unfairly demonised and silenced women, such as Monica Lewinsky and defending free speech. In 2014, a harassment injunction was taken out against a woman called Szilvia Berki which was made final in 2015.  I fully understand the good intentions of those now advocating on her behalf online and agree with their demand for this harassment injunction to be varied, as my lawyer made clear to Berki’s lawyer in December last year. However, the commentary and media reporting this week has presented an untrue narrative, which has opened me up to vile hatred and abuse online. For this reason, and to correct the record, I am providing the factual background to that injunction to explain why The High Court found the campaign of harassment by Berki against me to be, "oppressive and unacceptable” and made the order permanent. The background to this is that Ms Berki came to my house for roughly 30 minutes in June 2014, after I booked her to give a massage to Brand. By the time she arrived he had decided he didn’t want a massage and asked her to leave. She was clearly offended. I was present the whole time he was with her, and I did not see anything untoward, despite the fact that he was later found guilty of sexually assaulting other women and he later physically assaulted me. If I saw any man abuse any woman under any circumstances, I would do my utmost to stop them, without hesitation. Ms Berki later reported to the police that Brand had pushed her in the back whilst she was leaving the house and that she also said she was “attacked” by my dog, which she described in her police statement as my dog licking her face. The police rightly investigated Ms Berki’s complaint. I cooperated fully with the investigation, provided a truthful statement about what I saw and also provided CCTV footage, which showed my overly exuberant but totally unaggressive dog jumping up.   Following an investigation into Ms Berki’s allegations, police concluded that there was no case to answer and that no criminal offence had been committed. According to the police, at no time did Ms Berki ever state to them that she had been assaulted, threatened or falsely imprisoned. There was also a subsequent review of the investigation by the IPCC and Thames Valley Police Professional Standards which found that the original police investigation had been correct in its findings. In the meantime, several untrue stories appeared in the tabloid papers. Ms Berki forwarded an email to me confirming a payment for one such story she had received from The Sun newspaper. Articles were also published in The Telegraph, The Mail and The Mirror at Ms Berki’s instigation which contained her account of the alleged incident. Then having at first said in a story published by the Daily Mail that she had found me to be “really very nice, very, very nice,” she later embarked on a campaign of vicious antisemitic and threatening abuse online and in emails. Below is just a sample of some of those tweets and messages sent over many months (which were submitted to the judge who granted the harassment injunction)- (Jemima is a) “deeply rotted JEWISH Bitch” “Did you know that if your life is in danger you can LAWFULLY kill your attacker as defence?! … by now I could have lawfully kill at least 5-6 people who were hurting me” “Also happy birthday (Jemima). I hope you have more. In other words I hope you don’t die this year.” EMAIL- “If you make me very upset…you can expect the worts from me – I think you know this – without that I need to remind you” “What is going on in Britain is a dictatory of J evils. English Jewish Evil dictatory” “Would like to see justice, and I do not think that I should do it myself but what can I do when every organisation is scared of Jevils! ;)” “They say … Do not hate all Jews because you know a few Jewish evils. They are on top always decadent and evils” “Fortunately there are many mansions outside of the UK where Jewish money aristocrats are still not welcomed #Germany #Austria #Italy #Hungary” "Judge on High Court: I ordered her to shut up Jew. Do I have a case or not? soon we will kill her then". “A pity that I was in the UK. BB In Hungary if you would report the Police they would for sure find it without an investigation already that the Jews are guilty. Sad” “Every organisation is scared of JEVILS” “When my great grandparents see what Jews did to me they do something in heaven to solve this. I will not make my hand dirty with Jews.” “J evils … Rob, lie, crime” “I am so happy I am free from the English Jewish Evil dictator and outside of England the High Court cannot rule” “Probably I wait a bit more and than go public. What is going on in Britain is a dictatory of J evils.” She sent an enormous volume of similarly disturbing emails and tweets to or about me, to my family, to my workplace, to journalists from the national media to members of my family, to UNICEF UK where I had been a goodwill Ambassador for decades, and to organisations my ex-husband was associated with, and to MPs. She began disseminating on social media wild and untrue allegations about me, ranging from kidnap to cyberhacking, to having someone bump into her and laugh at her in the tube station, having her followed by two men, bribing the police, paying off a judge, and other false and alarming conspiracy theories based on my Jewishness. The number, tone and content of these messages was extremely frightening. It was distressing for my then teenage children and my family. I was concerned that Ms Berki was potentially a real danger to my family and me. I have had stalkers before and this behaviour felt similarly threatening. Although I was at this point no longer in contact with Brand, I agreed to the suggestion by his lawyer of a harassment order. My sole reason was to stop Ms Berki targeting me and my family. The harassment injunction was upheld by the High Court and Court of Appeal on several occasions. I engaged a lawyer of my own when I was made aware that Berki was applying to the court to vary the terms of the injunction. And I instructed my lawyer in December last year to approach Ms Berki’s barrister to say that I agreed to vary the injunction so that she could speak to the police again if she wanted to. I also instructed my lawyer to engage on her other requests. I did this despite my real fears that the harassment would re-commence and that her threatening antisemitism, if again unleashed, might exacerbate the danger to my children and me that we continue to face because of our Jewish heritage and their father’s political career and incarceration in Pakistan. Her barrister has not responded to my lawyer since May of this year despite trying to engage him. I was informed by her lawyer that any change to the injunction must also be agreed by Brand.  I have no ability to compel Brand in this matter, as I have not seen or spoken to him in over a decade. I hope this information will help clarify speculation about my involvement in the anti-harassment order. I am glad and relieved that Russell Brand has finally faced justice.

Three decades since JonBenét Ramsey was found slain in her Colorado home, ABC News’ Diane Sawyer has an investigation examining new evidence and zeroing in on “unknown male one.”

Last night, Republicans lost the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, and my home state of Texas, a conservative cornerstone for more than three decades, because our party forgot the basic rules of coalition politics:   1. Add, don’t subtract 2. Be likeable 3. Do what you promised 4. Character & integrity still matter   Time to turn the page and rebuild. Read my full thoughts in the @WSJ:

What if 911 Conspiracies Were True? Inside Job Confirmed: Explosive Evidence 9/11 Was a Controlled Demolition Courtesy of @JackMedia7 and 17PLUS NEW YORK — On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, three steel-framed skyscrapers in New York City collapsed in near-free-fall after being struck by two commercial airliners. Official accounts attributed the destruction solely to impact damage and ensuing fires. Independent forensic analysis, whistleblower testimony, and physical evidence now demonstrate that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down by pre-planted explosives in a carefully planned operation involving rogue elements inside the U.S. government and intelligence community. Physics That Cannot Be Denied Steel-framed high-rises do not collapse symmetrically into their own footprints from office fires. The Twin Towers fell at rates approaching free-fall acceleration for significant portions of their descent, requiring the near-simultaneous failure of every major structural support. Building 7, which was not struck by any aircraft, collapsed in free fall for 2.25 seconds—an impossibility without the controlled removal of its core columns. Molten metal, red-hot for weeks in the rubble, matched the signature of thermite and nanothermite reactions, not ordinary jet-fuel fires. Independent laboratory tests on dust samples recovered from Ground Zero confirmed the presence of these high-tech incendiaries. Explosive residues and the distinctive “squibs” of ejecta visible in video footage further corroborate the use of cutter charges. Motive and Opportunity Documents and insider accounts reveal that plans for a “new Pearl Harbor” had circulated in policy circles years earlier. The attacks provided the political capital needed to launch wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, expand domestic surveillance powers, and consolidate control over strategic resources. Key military exercises scheduled for the same morning created the perfect cover, diverting interceptor aircraft and sowing confusion. NORAD’s failure to scramble fighters in time, the stand-down of air defenses, and the rapid transfer of billions in trades against airline stocks in the days before the attacks point to foreknowledge. Multiple high-ranking officials and intelligence assets who later came forward described compartmentalized operations in which explosives were installed during recent elevator and structural renovations. Building 7: The Smoking Gun Larry Silverstein’s televised admission that the decision was made to “pull” Building 7, combined with the BBC’s premature announcement of its collapse while the building still stood, left little room for innocent explanation. FEMA and NIST reports strained to invent fire-induced progressive collapse scenarios that violate basic engineering principles and were never replicated in any other steel structure in history. Silenced Voices and Suppressed Evidence First responders and ironworkers reported hearing sequential explosions in the basements and lower floors before the collapses. Thousands of architects, engineers, and explosives experts have publicly rejected the official narrative. Physical evidence was rapidly removed and shipped overseas for recycling, while video and photographic records of the critical moments were restricted or altered. The operation succeeded in its immediate goals: a terrified public accepted sweeping new legislation, military budgets soared, and critical examination was branded unpatriotic. Two decades later, the physical, testimonial, and circumstantial evidence forms a coherent picture of a false-flag attack executed to reshape American foreign and domestic policy. The full truth remains incomplete. Many documents stay classified. Key witnesses have died under questionable circumstances. Yet the central fact is no longer in serious dispute among those who examine the evidence without institutional filters: the towers did not simply fall. They were brought down.

Proud to celebrate and honor America’s Veterans at the @FBI’s Veterans Day Commemoration Ceremony here at Headquarters. The FBI is home to more than 6,500 employees who are Veterans, almost 2,300 employees in the Reserve, and over 700 employees in the National Guard. The experience and elite skillsets they bring with them is a critical part of what makes this FBI the most successful law enforcement organization on earth. Through our newly established ‘Veterans Advisory Committee,’ we are giving America’s military Veterans a larger voice at the FBI than ever in history — AND recruiting more Veterans to join our ranks than ever before — allowing these warriors to continue their mission of defending the homeland in a different capacity. At this event we were honored to be joined by my friend and colleague Admiral Mitch Bradley — a graduate of the United States Naval Academy who became a Navy SEAL in 1992 and served more than three decades, going on to lead some of the military's most elite groups, including special operations missions around the world, helping shape our nation's counterterrorism strategy at the highest levels, and being one of the first Americans deployed into Afghanistan after 9/11. To our Veterans at the FBI and across the country: thank you for your service to America. And special thanks to Robert Payne and our Veterans Advisory Committee for hosting the event.

Rodney Atkins says he's been a CMA member for over 20 years, and he's played CMA Fest 'countless' times. But he's not attending the CMA Awards this year — because he says they denied him and his wife, singer-songwriter Rose Falcon, red carpet access. 😲 Atkins revealed that news just one day after Sammy Kershaw posted about being in a similar situation. The singer says he believes that "the artists who helped build the foundation of country music, like Sammy Kershaw, deserve a place in its celebrations." But Atkins didn't lose focus on the people who've made his career so special: The fans. "You've always made me feel welcome in country music, and that's what matters most," Atkins says, noting that he's having "the best touring year of my career" and that his his newest single could give him charting songs across three different decades.

Patrick Election Night Statement: “I respect the will of the voters; the result was fair and square.” “This was a wave election in Texas and across the country. Whether it was about affordability, gas prices, data centers, 765-kV lines, or any other issue important to them, I respect how the people voted. It was a fair election, and I accept the majority will of the voters. To my millions of supporters: Thank you for your steadfast and principled support. I am proud of what the Senate and I accomplished over the past decade. I ran for office to end abortion, eliminate school property taxes, protect the Second Amendment, pass school choice, protect the border, support police, end DEI, and make Texas the leading job creator in the nation. Before Roe v. Wade was reversed, my great Republican senators and I reduced abortions in Texas by almost 80%, saving nearly 300,000 lives. Together, we eliminated school property taxes for seniors and cut them in half for those under 65. We led the charge to increase average teacher pay from $54,000 to $69,000. We increased school funding by $40 billion. We passed school choice for 100,000 families. We removed discriminatory DEI from K-12 schools and our colleges. We put the Ten Commandments in our schools. I placed 'In God We Trust' in the Senate chamber and put 'under God' in our state pledge. We passed campus carry, open carry, and constitutional carry, protecting the Second Amendment under my leadership and that of our great senators. I built six new mental health care hospitals and funded research for Alzheimer's and cancer. Going into 2028, the Republican Party of Texas has serious work to do to begin the process of taking our state back from Democrat control. Their democratic socialist policies will fail, as they have in every country in the world. Their defund-the-police agenda will make Texans less safe. Their goal of taking down the oil and gas industry will bankrupt Texas and double the cost of gasoline. I have been in the public spotlight for almost five decades. I came to Texas in 1979 as a sportscaster at KHOU-TV. I started a radio station and put an unknown Rush Limbaugh on the air. I served in office for 20 years. Jan and I will celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary next year. I have two incredible children, a great son-in-law and a great daughter-in-law, and eight precious grandchildren. I have so much to be thankful for. I am the most blessed person you could ever meet. I love Texas, I love America, and most of all, I love my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He has given me an amazing life. God bless each of you who supported me through all my many endeavors over the last 50 years. I can never say thank you enough.”

News Alert from @FBIPhiladelphia: Three Philadelphia Men Sentenced to Life in Prison, Two Others to Decades Behind Bars, for Conspiring to Commit and Committing the Murder of a Carjacking Victim, Murder of a Potential Witness, and Approximately 30 Additional Carjackings, Related Offenses

Last week, three Philadelphia men were sentenced to life in prison, and two others were sentenced to decades in prison for conspiring to commit and committing the murder of a carjacking victim, murder of a potential witness, and approximately 30 additional carjackings and related offenses. This case was investigated by the Philadelphia Carjacking Task Force, comprising the FBI, Philadelphia Police Department, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with significant assistance from the Philadelphia offices of Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations, which helped investigate and uncover carjacked cars meant to be exported overseas.

#BREAKING | Nearly 30 years later, #BurkeRamsey just broke his 10-year silence and pointed straight at the one piece of evidence he says has been sitting there the whole time. 👇 In a rare interview, the now 39-year-old brother of #JonBenét says the unidentified male DNA found under her fingernails and on her underwear remains the best chance to finally solve the 1996 murder. It never matched anyone in the family. “We need to find that match. It’s the best evidence we have… Find the match. That will go a long way to bringing justice. It’s been 30 years and enough is enough.” He was direct about the long-standing suspicion around the Ramseys: “The DNA says we didn’t do it. I know none of my family did it. I didn’t do it… the DNA is sitting right there.” Burke, who lives quietly in Michigan as a software engineer, also pushed back on the pageant-princess image, remembering his sister as a normal little girl who slid down hills on boxes with him. This comes as renewed attention hits the case again (Diane Sawyer special + Netflix series). Do you think modern genetic genealogy and fresh lab testing on that DNA could finally crack it after three decades — or do you still believe the answer lies somewhere else? I think the genealogy can do it— we have seen it in so many other cases. Full interview: #JonBenetRamsey #TrueCrime

The Mechanics How Williams integrated with the Hope Mission's upper management involves two primary structural tracks: The Shared "Alberta Model" Vision As a staunch social conservative, Williams strongly favors faith-based, structured recovery programs over public harm-reduction harm infrastructure. The Hope Mission's executive team has spent decades building one of Alberta's most extensive networks of abstinence-centered emergency care and long-term recovery centers. Williams’s ministry viewed the Hope Mission's leadership not as contractors to be vetted via standard competitive requests-for-proposals, but as the ideal delivery partner to execute his ideological mandate. Boardroom Mobilization over Tribal Autonomy This alignment is what directly drove the controversial Maskwacis MOU. Internal departmental logs show that Williams and his Deputy Minister, Evan Romanow, held direct, closed-door strategy meetings with the Hope Mission's upper management to plan a massive regional recovery mega-facility. By choosing to work directly with the Hope Mission's board rather than localized, autonomous Indigenous-led societies, Williams ensured that millions in provincial addictions capital bypassed community-rooted harm-reduction clinics to flow into the Hope Mission's expanding property portfolio. Ultimately, while the specialized RCMP anti-corruption unit and the Auditor General are tracking Mraiche's real estate and shell company networks for criminal fraud and money laundering, Williams' ties to the Hope Mission are being scrutinized as an intense case of regulatory favoritism and ideological policy routing, rather than personal financial bribery. property portfolio.

Why Hope mission MLA Williams and the UCP government heavily favored Hope Mission for three major factors: Ideological alignment turnkey operational capacity, and a shared opposition to harm-reduction policies. Under Canada’s non-profit laws, Hope Mission operates as a registered charity, meaning its executives cannot legally pocket corporate profits. Instead, the organization served as the perfect policy vehicle to execute the Premier's office's vision. The explicit reasons behind their selection include: 1. The Abstinence-Only "Alberta Model" Match The core of the political network's agenda, designed by Marshall and funded by Williams, was to completely dismantle public harm-reduction infrastructure, such as supervised consumption sites, and replace it with an abstinence-based, recovery-driven framework. Hope Mission’s upper management has spent decades operating on a strictly abstinence-based, faith-aligned care philosophy. To the UCP ministry, Hope Mission's leadership was not just a vendor, but an ideological ally that perfectly mirrored their political vision for the province. 2. Massive Institutional Real Estate Footprint Unlike smaller, localized grassroots societies, Hope Mission possesses an immense, established real estate and logistical infrastructure across Alberta. They operate massive facilities in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, and Wetaskiwin. When the province decided to rapidly scale up its decentralized sheltering and recovery beds, Hope Mission’s executive board had the immediate financial stability and administrative capacity to rapidly absorb multi-million dollar provincial grants and execute large-scale construction pipelines, such as their permanent 120-bed shelter expansion in Edmonton...11/

🚨 THE BIGGEST STOCK MARKET CRASH IN HISTORY COULD BE COMING. AND I BELIEVE 2026 WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE YEAR EVERYONE IGNORED THE WARNINGS. LOOK AT THIS CHART. 1999: DOT-COM BUBBLE → NASDAQ CRASHED 78%. 2007: HOUSING BUBBLE → S&P 500 CRASHED 57%. 2026: AI BUBBLE → AN 80% CRASH NEXT? THREE DIFFERENT BUBBLES. THE SAME DANGEROUS PSYCHOLOGY. In 1999, everyone believed the internet would change the world. They were right. BUT THEY STILL LOST FORTUNES. In 2007, everyone believed housing prices could only go higher. Then the entire financial system nearly collapsed. Now it's 2026. AI is changing the world. Stocks are priced for extraordinary growth. And investors are convinced every correction is another buying opportunity. DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? Here's what people keep forgetting. A technology can change the world and still become the center of a massive financial bubble. The internet survived 2000. Housing survived 2008. AI could transform the global economy for decades. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN TODAY'S STOCK PRICES ARE SAFE. And if this really is another historic bubble, the next crash could be far worse than most investors expect. I'm not saying an 80% collapse is guaranteed. I'm saying the possibility deserves serious attention. I've spent more than a decade studying market cycles, bubbles and major turning points. And this is exactly the kind of setup I refuse to ignore. SAVE THIS CHART. COME BACK WHEN THE NEXT MAJOR SELLOFF BEGINS. Follow + turn notifications on. I'll share my next major market call here FIRST. THE MOST DANGEROUS WORDS IN INVESTING? "THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT." PROTECT YOUR CAPITAL BEFORE THE CROWD REALIZES WHAT'S HAPPENING.

James Talarico just accomplished what no other Democrat in Texas has done in three decades: winning a statewide race. “We just took back Texas,” said Democrat Senator-elect James Talarico, following an outcome that ended what had become one of the longest winning streaks in U.S. politics. “We just proved that all the money in the world is no match for the people of Texas,” Talarico said. “We just showed that a politics of division is no match for a politics of love.” Talarico beat Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday night in a contentious race for a Texas Senate seat. For many Texas Democrats, the win is vindication in a longheld belief that demographics in that state were destiny. Democrats have argued for years that Texas wasn’t as Republican as election results suggested, but rather a state with so many non-voters that a Democrat could win with the right candidate and message. This cycle proved them correct.

After an extraordinary career spanning more than three decades as the director of the National Institutes on Aging (NIA), Dr. Richard Hodes is retiring on December 7, 2026. Under Dr. Hodes’s leadership, we have seen great progress in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD) research, including in the areas of genetics, prevention, diagnostics, and care, reshaping what is possible for people living with AD/ADRD. In addition, his instrumental work in pioneering the field of geroscience will have lasting impact on improving the health and well-being of older adults. Dr. Hodes leaves an incredible legacy of scientific leadership and public service. We are deeply grateful for his enduring contributions to NIH and the health of the American people.
