POWERFUL Serbian-American Drug traffickers may have links to Intelligence Agencies , it has been claimed .
Mileta Miljanić , a Bosnian-born U.S. citizen , is a wanted man in Italy and faces arrest if he so much as changes planes there .
In New York , a 2003 federal indictment of Miljanić remains inexplicably open , with no apparent move to take him to court .

That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Group America , ” he said .
CIA officials declined comment , as have all other U.S. law enforcement or intelligence agencies contacted for this article .
Group America ’ s astonishing story is grounded in New York City ’ s Serbian-American immigrant community and in Serbia ’ s political history , but its operations were largely unknown to authorities in any country until 2001 , when a gang insider codenamed Srećko – “ Lucky ” in Serbian – volunteered to tell the police what he knew .
For hours , stunned officers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ became criminals on the streets of New York , immersed themselves in Serbian politics and graduated to the world of high-volume international drug trafficking .

He became head of the infamous gang after Coonan and other leaders went to prison .
Under Radonjić , the Westies grew closer to the Gambino Mafia family , led by the infamous “ Dapper Don ” John Gotti .

POWERFUL Serbian-American Drug traffickers may have links to Intelligence Agencies, it has been claimed.
Mileta Miljanić, a Bosnian-born U.S. citizen, is a wanted man in Italy and faces arrest if he so much as changes planes there.
In New York, a 2003 federal indictment of Miljanić remains inexplicably open, with no apparent move to take him to court.
So it’s easy to find the leader of “Group America,” a brutal cocaine trafficking network that operates on at least four continents and is said to be responsible for a dozen murders.
He keeps an apartment in a neat townhouse in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens, New York.
His surname is on his doorbell.
Sometimes he even appears on television.
After a fire gutted the St. Sava Cathedral, Manhattan’s landmark Serbian Orthodox church in May 2016, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić flew to New York to see the damage. As he spoke to television reporters, viewers in Belgrade spotted a familiar face in the tour entourage: Mileta Miljanić.
Facing criticism, Dačić said he was told Miljanić was a church benefactor “who gave more money than all the other donors put together.”
Records from dozens of countries examined by OCCRP reveal decades of drug seizures and murders linked to Miljanić’s organization.
Since the late 1990s, Group America associates have been arrested and charged in Serbia, Montenegro, Germany, Italy, Greece, Poland, South Africa, Argentina and Peru. More than five metric tonnes of Group America cocaine has been seized.
But Miljanić remains safe from arrest, at least in New York and in Serbia, where he made a visit in August, as shown in posts to an Instagram account used by his wife.

For hours, stunned officers listened to the story of Yugoslavians who became criminals on the streets of New York, immersed themselves in Serbian politics and graduated to the world of high-volume international drug trafficking.
The police wrote reports, but their attempts to investigate went nowhere.
What is Group America?
The story of Group America begins in 1970, when a young Serb, Boško “The Yugo” Radonjić, emigrated to the United States from what was then Yugoslavia.
Radonjić was both a criminal and a strident opponent of his country’s communist rulers. A supporter of Serbia’s exiled royal family, he did prison time in the United States for a series of bomb plots targeting Yugoslav diplomatic missions.
In the 1980s, Radonjić was an acolyte of Jimmy Coonan, the leader of an ultraviolent Irish-American gang called the Westies that dominated New York’s old Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. He became head of the infamous gang after Coonan and other leaders went to prison. Under Radonjić, the Westies grew closer to the Gambino Mafia family, led by the infamous “Dapper Don” John Gotti. When Gotti faced racketeering charges in 1986, Radonjić helped tamper with the jury.
Two young Serbs in Radonjić’s entourage would eventually make Group America what it is today.
Mileta Miljanić was born in 1960 in Gacko, a bleak town in the dry grasslands of southeast Bosnia. It’s unclear when he left the Balkans, but he was issued a U.S. Social Security Number in New York City between 1982 and 1984.
He and his best friend, Zoran Jakšić, likely an emigree from Zrenjanin, a small city near Belgrade, worked as Radonjić’s bodyguards in New York. In the 1980s, both were convicted of crimes related to credit card fraud and spent time in federal prisons.
Miljanić served just 20 months of his three-year sentence. Jakšić was also paroled after serving some of his five-year sentence, but ended up back inside for a parole violation. He spent much of the early 1990s behind bars.
The gangsters returned to the Balkans as Yugoslavia disintegrated and Serbian nationalism led by President Slobodan Milošević surged in the early 1990s. Radonjić won support from elements in Serbia’s security service, which provided weapons and shielded them from both local and international investigations.
Around that time, Radonjic’s younger associate, Vojislav “Voya the American” Raičević, joined him in Belgrade and was given control of the gang.
Raičević oversaw the group’s transformation into Group America, a disciplined and secretive international criminal organization focusing on trafficking cocaine from South America to Europe. Authorities also attribute multiple contract killings to members, though they have never won a murder conviction.
The gang maintained its deep ties with the Serbian security service. In a 1997 conversation attributed to a Croatian secret service wiretap, Slobodan Milošević’s son, Marko, and another man were heard discussing Group America leader Raičević, who is described as “working for Boško Bojović,” a senior Montenegrin spy loyal to Milošević.
That was the year Raičević vanished.
In his lengthy confession to the police years later, Srećko said that after the missing Group America leader’s presumed murder, his brother, Veselin Vesko “Little Bear” Raičević, called a meeting to plan a campaign that would root out traitors and exact revenge.
Among the attendees, Srećko said, was Boško Bojović, who was then living in Belgrade as a top associate of Serbia’s intelligence chief.
Srećko said he was told that Raičević’s suspected assassin, Miša Cvjetičanin, was taken to a Belgrade villa and tortured until he named his conspirators. He was then dismembered with a chainsaw.
The subsequent bloody revenge spree against Raičević’s killers saw the murder of two rival gang heads, a police general, two Group America turncoats, and one of their fathers.
After the killing was done, Group America had a new leader: Mileta Miljanić, the man who today lives comfortably in New York.
Then in his late 30s, Miljanić had a reputation as a man capable of both incredible loyalty and calculated cruelty. When police asked Srećko to name gang members they could exploit as weak links, the informant said Miljanić was out of the question.
“Psychologically, he’s really prepared. He knows how to assess people through their feelings, their stories,” Srećko said. “He’s untouchable.”
Miljanić would lead the gang to more complex, and more lucrative, criminality.

BRITAIN’S Dumbest Ganja Gang led Police to a massive Cannabis grow in Greater Manchester after making rookie mistakes.
The Cannabis farm or ‘grow’ as it’s known on the street was placed inside a photography store in Bolton, in North West England – only one of the crooks left the blinds open, and an upstairs window in what sources say could have been a ‘cry for help’ or a bitter-ex of a Ganja gangster ‘exposing a set-up’ to hit back at a lover.
The massive drugs set-up worth an estimated £100,000 was mocked on social media after local man posted a photo on Facebook.
He wrote: “Who’s got a grow on above the shop? Need put some blinds up lad.”
The £100k grow was then raided by Greater Manchester Police who claimed to be responsible for the find on social media, only it was local man who helped to expose the dodgy drugs set-up.
GMP Bolton North Division wrote: “Our Neighbourhood Team have spent the afternoon dismantling a cannabis farm from a property on Tonge Moor Road.
“All cannabis will be destroyed and enquiries are on-going to identify those responsible.”
More than 50 cannabis farms have been found in Bolton over the last three years, reported The Bolton News.
Cannabis farming in the UK is not a victimless crime and Ganja Gangsters are linked to illegal immigration, modern slavery, people trafficking, coercion, mental and physical abuse.
Drug farms are often manned by illegal migrants, slave workers or young men hoping to impress bigger thugs in the Drugs and Organised Crime under-world.
They are often paid a pittance for the product that can be worth around £30,000 for a one-room set-up of 15 plants.
Ganja Gang slaves are locked up in residential houses and businesses and are often forced to grow the Class C drug.

A review is to be held into the care provided by social services to murdered teenager Louise Smith.
Shane Mays, 30, from Havant, Hampshire, was jailed for life and must serve a minimum of 25 years after he was found guilty of the murder of the 16-year-old on VE Day.
The teenager, who was training to be a veterinary nurse, was “brutally” killed in Havant Thicket and her body defiled and burned.
The trial at Winchester Crown Court heard that Louise was “vulnerable” and suffered from anxiety and depression and also took cannabis.

Hampshire County Council has confirmed that it will carry out a review into her death.
Derek Benson, chairman of the Hampshire Safeguarding Children Partnership, said: “Learning reviews are carried out to identify any learning to improve both single and multi-agency safeguarding of children, not to apportion blame to an individual or agency.
“It is the practice of Local Safeguarding Partnerships to respect the confidentiality of the children and young people involved, and their families, and for this reason reports and associated publications are anonymised.

Secondary school students in London will have increased access to coronavirus tests following rises in infection rates across the South East , Matt Hancock has announced .
The Health Secretary said that “ by far the fastest rise ” in cases in the South had been among children aged 11-18 , and that targeted action was needed immediately .
Speaking at a Downing Street press conference , he said : “ I ’ m particularly concerned about the number of cases in London , Kent and Essex .
“ Cases are rising and in many areas are already high .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing results and surveys shows us that by far the fastest rise is among secondary school age children 11-18 years old , while the rate among adults in London is broadly flat .

“ We need to do everything we can to stop the spread among school age children in London right now – we must not wait until the review , which will take place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take targeted action immediately.

“ We are therefore surging mobile testing units and will be working with schools and local authorities to encourage these children and their families to get tested over the coming days .
“ I want to urge all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing .
“ It is important that 11-18 years olds get tested in these boroughs , irrespective of whether they have symptoms.
” It comes as three more London boroughs entered the top 20 areas with the highest rates of infection in England – Barking & Dagenham , Waltham Forest , and Redbridge .

politicalite--2020-12-12--LIDDLE ISSUE: This Exchange With The Left Shows Why They Can’t Win Elections

ON SATURDAY morning whilst lying in bed with my partner after stuffing our faces with a McDonalds Breakfast delivery from UberEats ( fourth of the week , Tier 3 lockdown and all ) I was scrolling through Facebook whilst my partner watched Soccer Saturday and I came across a post from a leftist group that had a post attacking the legendary Sun columnist and right-winger , Rod Liddle .
I ’ m a member of many political groups on Facebook .
Left-wing , right-wing , remain , leave , I like to see a variety of viewpoints and as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the other side is saying , and I never usually comment , but this time , I decided to bite and boy , did the lefties in the Facebook group run by the independent news outlet ‘ Dorset-Eye ’ kick off , and in my opinion – it explains why they can never win an election .
The Sun opinion piece in question ( read here ) said : ” Covid has made heroes of many of our workers… but not teachers , ” and boy , did the group hate that .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not sure who she bats for ) wailed : “ Rod Liddle in The Sun telling so many untruths about teachers and expressing so much bile and vitriol .
Utterly toxic.
” One hit back : “ Rod Liddle got where he is as a result of teaching the twunt to read and write .
What ba pity .
Waste of rations .
He even got fired from the Beeb.
” Another said : “ Rod Liddle is a proven liar and an agitator.
” “ Where to start with this ?
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a reaction .
Job done I suppose .
Real kick in the teeth though after a stressful term ” said one Teacher .
So I decided to defend Rod and I replied : “ He ’ s right tho… teachers have had it easy .
Been off on full pay during lockdown and school holidays .
Bunch of moaning socialists the lot of em.
” and boy , did they bite .
One man , called Stephen wrote : “ What a load of shite .
My wife ’ s a teacher and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that teaching , the rest admin .
She is also obliged to work in covid-unsafe conditions – no masks , no distancing , not even one of those forehead thermometers that restaurants use .
So stress ?
Yes .
And I ’ d love to see one of these wanker journalists control a class of energetic , disruptive kids of a few hours , let alone all day every day.
” I hit back : “ no one forced her to be a teacher.
” Stephen wrote : “ No , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – and I don ’ t think that is something someone should be criticised for.
” I debated back : “ all jobs are hard , don ’ t see a builder ( much harder job physically ) working 70 hour weeks complaining , they just get on with it .
Must be a class thing.
” Monty hit back : “ no one forced her to be a teacher ” what ’ s that even supposed to mean ?
” Author of the post Leeza ( not sure if she likes Women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ me ] obviously places no value at all in education as a “ thing ” .
Sophie said : “ think you are missing the point by a country mile.
” The first leftie got caught by my right-wing hook and the Leeza wrote back : “ I can tell you what it means about him !
It means he ’ s a * % # € !
!
* # % ” Leeza added : “ builders don ’ t moan ?
No !
They ’ re all loving it !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and all is absolutely fucking golden in their world !
Guess being mainly self-employed means that their level of unionisation is quite low so we don ’ t get to hear their collective “ moans ” in the media.
” Alisha said : “ no one forced them to be a builder , perhaps if they did better at school instead of arsing around , they could have got better qualifications and an easier job earning more money.
” – wow , nice to know what the left thinks of our hard-woning tradesmen.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not read what Stephen just said ?
” “ Socialised education might I guess have a few people working in it who might have supportive beliefs , I guess.
” “ Education will be much better when every family in the country has to pay a weekly / daily bill direct to the business that they send their child to for their marketised education though , right ?
” He added : “ My wife worked harder than ever during lockdown.
” “ The additional administration that teaching via the internet took caused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I hit back : “ yea , privatised education would be much better IMO.
” “ Standards would improve if schools had competition , if failure meant loosing money rather than asking for more from the Government.
” The Leeza said : “ you have absolutely no understanding of educating people though ?
Am I right ?
” I hit back at Stephen ( whose wife is a teacher ) “ oh so she ’ s been sat at home during lockdown making an easier job EVEN MORE easier ?
” I argued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – he ’ s worked non stop , even weekends .
He never complains , just gets on with it .
That ’ s what people do when they have responsibilities and a family to feed.
” Stephen , clearly out debated then replied to my comment about Teachers having it easier at home , and tried to tell me that I was stupid ( as all lefties do when they lose an argument ) he said : “ Sorry , how does that make it easier ?
It made it harder , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what you ’ re talking about.
” So I argued back , happy with my catches of the day : “ She doesn ’ t have to commute and deal with those rowdy kids in the classroom you complained about in your above post , and there ’ s me thinking I ’ m the one who hasn ’ t a clue ” Stephen hit back : “ No , but the additional admin and dealing with cumbersome technology added to the workload.
” Then Nasty Niel piped up and said : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Privatisation does not improve services ( whatever they are ) and it never has done.
” “ Are energy bills lower because the national grid is operated by private companies ?
” “ Is Royal Mail better now that it has been privatised ?
” “ Are the rail networks better for being privatised ?
” “ Privatisation only serves to increase the profit margins of the companies envolved and swell the bank accounts of CEO ’ s and shareholders .
” “ Wake the fuck up and have a look around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
” So after enjoying my McDelivery half an hour earlier , I decided to use that as an example as to why privatised and Capitalist systems work better than socialist ones .
I said : “ Then why is it easier and quicker to get a McDonalds delivered than it is for a paramedic or policeman to come to your rescue ?
The answer is simple… McDonald ’ s knows that if it wants to be Number 1 it has to be the best and quickest around , the policeman and [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t another service that the person waiting can use , so they can take as long as they like… therefore , competition and market privatisation works much better than socialist showers of shite.
” Sophie piped up , accusing me of being a troll : “ Please don ’ t feed the trolls , it makes them feel important.
” She told Leeza not to laugh and wrote : “ He would be if it wasn ’ t for the fact that there are many more ignorant eejits like him about.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a teacher ) then wrote : “ Private education would be better ?
It is private .
It ’ s been privatised – taken into an academy trust .
More unpaid hours and pay freezes for the staff , big bucks for the directors.
” Under total leftist attack , I did not know who to reply to , so I wrote back to Nasty Niel : “ Your comment about the NHS… the NHS is shite and needs privatising .
I ’ m with BUPA and the service is outstanding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run companies.
” This was like dropping the mother of all bombs , and our lefty NHS worshipers couldn ’ t handle it .
Martyn said : “ do one you sad little troll.
” Confused Leeza said : “ fancy comparing a Mac Donald ’ s delivery to a paramedic !
So fucking funny !
” One honourable man , called Andy did defend this radical right-winger and said : “ Took a break from Dorset Eye and came back and unfortunately it is still the same .
Someone like Jordan has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t particularly agree with ) but he gets abused and bullied.
” Nasty Niel ignored Angelic Andy writing : “ Congratulations on being able to afford private healthcare for youerlself [ sic ] but millions won ’ t be able to you ignorant , heartless prick .
” I hit back : “ my cover costs about £150 a month… you can get covered for as little as £40 a month with less health benefits .
Tell me how that makes me an ignorant , heartless prick ?
” Nasty Neil wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told you why you ’ re heartless and ignorant ya fuckin clown.. Not everybody can afford £40 a month [ Jobseekers Allowance is £297 a month ] and some people will be REFUSED ” Admin then got involved ( took them long enough ) and warned me for the my offence ( having a free mind open to debate ) : “ I imagine you have some intelligence , in which case you would be perfectly aware of the make-up and sympathies of this group .
I can only assume therefore that you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to contribute anything positive .
This is , as you know , often described as ‘ trolling ’ .
Please try and be more constructive , or return to your own.
” I hit back with my final act : “ I joined the group to see different opinions and views to my own , whilst scrolling through my feed I commented on the post without seeing what group it was and accidentally caused world war three cos a bunch of lefties can ’ t handle an innocent debate .
I sincerely apologise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inability to debate politely and their thin skin.
” You see… Left-wingers just can ’ t handle debate .
They like to live in echo chambers online and therefore think the whole country subscribes to their worldview , but by doing so they then forget what their usual working-class voting base actually thinks .
This is why the left is so out of touch today and this is why they will forever loose elections , they just can ’ t handle any opinion other than their own .
One thing for sure , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( whilst not of my political persuasion ) supports free-speech , I ’ ve still not been removed from the group , though – after this article , I probably will be .
Anyway , We ’ re off for a pint and a scotch egg in Tier 2 Cheshire .
Cheerio .

The Sun opinion piece by Liddle being debated (read here) said:”Covid has made heroes of many of our workers… but not teachers,” and the group hated that.
The author of the post was a teacher called Leeza Jane (not sure who she bats for) she wailed: “Rod Liddle in The Sun telling so many untruths about teachers and expressing so much bile and vitriol. Utterly toxic.”
One member hit back: “Rod Liddle got where he is as a result of teaching the twunt to read and write. What ba pity. Waste of rations. He even got fired from the Beeb.”
Whilst another said: “Rod Liddle is a proven liar and an agitator.”
“Where to start with this? It’s lazy journalism designed to get a reaction. Job done I suppose. Real kick in the teeth though after a stressful term” said one Teacher.
So I decided to defend Rod, He’s of the few honest and no-holds barred mainstream journalists and I have much respect for the writer. I simply replied: “He’s right tho… teachers have had it easy. Been off on full pay during lockdown and school holidays. Bunch of moaning socialists the lot of em.” and boy, did they bite.
One man, called Stephen wrote: “What a load of shite. My wife’s a teacher and she works a 70-hour week, 35 of that teaching, the rest admin. She is also obliged to work in covid-unsafe conditions – no masks, no distancing, not even one of those forehead thermometers that restaurants use. So stress? Yes. And I’d love to see one of these wanker journalists control a class of energetic, disruptive kids of a few hours, let alone all day every day.”
I hit back: “no one forced her to be a teacher.”
Stephen wrote: “No, it’s calling – it takes dedication – and I don’t think that is something someone should be criticised for.”
I debated by writing: “all jobs are hard, don’t see a builder (much harder job physically) working 70 hour weeks complaining, they just get on with it. Must be a class thing.”
Monty hit back: “no one forced her to be a teacher” what’s that even supposed to mean?”
Author of the post Leeza (not sure if she likes Women or Men) said: “he [me] obviously places no value at all in education as a “thing”.
Sophie said: “think you are missing the point by a country mile.”
The first leftie was then caught by my right-wing hook and the Leeza wrote back: “I can tell you what it means about him! It means he’s a *%#€!!*#%”
The Leeza added: “builders don’t moan? No! They’re all loving it! They skip to work, skip home and all is absolutely fucking golden in their world! Guess being mainly self-employed means that their level of unionisation is quite low so we don’t get to hear their collective “moans” in the media.”
Alisha said: “no one forced them to be a builder, perhaps if they did better at school instead of arsing around, they could have got better qualifications and an easier job earning more money.” – wow, nice to know what the left thinks of our hard-working tradesmen.”
She added: “did you not read what Stephen just said?”
“Socialised education might I guess have a few people working in it who might have supportive beliefs, I guess.”
“Education will be much better when every family in the country has to pay a weekly / daily bill direct to the business that they send their child to for their marketised education though, right?”
Stephen, whose wife is a teacher (he won’t let us forget) added: “more uninformed bullshit.”
He added: “My wife worked harder than ever during lockdown.”
“The additional administration that teaching via the internet took caused even more work.” he moaned.
I hit back: “yea, privatised education would be much better IMO.”
“Standards would improve if schools had competition, if failure meant loosing money rather than asking for more from the Government.”
The Leeza said: “you have absolutely no understanding of educating people though? Am I right?”
I punched back at Stephen (whose wife is a teacher, don’t forget!) “oh so she’s been sat at home during lockdown making an easier job EVEN MORE easier?”
I then argued: “My partner is a scaffolder – he’s worked non stop, even weekends. He never complains, just gets on with it. That’s what people do when they have responsibilities and a family to feed.”
Stephen, clearly out debated then replied to my comment about Teachers having it easier at home, and tried to tell me that I was stupid (as all lefties do when they lose an argument) he said: “Sorry, how does that make it easier? It made it harder, not easier. You have no idea what you’re talking about.”
So I argued back, happy with my catches of the day: “She doesn’t have to commute and deal with those rowdy kids in the classroom you complained about in your above post, and there’s me thinking I’m the one who hasn’t a clue”
Stephen hit back: “No, but the additional admin and dealing with cumbersome technology added to the workload.”
Then Nasty Neil piped up and said: “Utter [CENSORED] nonsense!”
“Privatisation does not improve services ( whatever they are ) and it never has done.”
“Are energy bills lower because the national grid is operated by private companies ?”
“Is Royal Mail better now that it has been privatised ?”
“Are the rail networks better for being privatised ?”
“How about the NHS ?”
“Privatisation only serves to increase the profit margins of the companies envolved [sic] and swell the bank accounts of CEO’s and shareholders .”
“Wake the fuck up and have a look around before you make yourself look any sillier .”
So after enjoying my McDelivery half an hour earlier, I decided to use that as an example as to why privatised and Capitalist systems work better than socialist ones.
I argued: “Then why is it easier and quicker to get a McDonalds delivered than it is for a paramedic or policeman to come to your rescue?”
“The answer is simple… McDonald’s knows that if it wants to be Number one it has to be the best and quickest around, the policeman and [the] paramedic know that there isn’t another service that the person waiting can use, so they can take as long as they like… therefore, competition and market privatisation works much better than socialist showers of shite.”
Leeza found this hilarious writing: “you are absolutely hysterical!”
Sophie piped up, accusing me of being a troll: “Please don’t feed the trolls, it makes them feel important.”
She told Leeza not to laugh and wrote: “He would be if it wasn’t for the fact that there are many more ignorant eejits like him about.”
Our friend (with the wife who’s a teacher) then wrote: “Private education would be better? It is private. It’s been privatised – taken into an academy trust. More unpaid hours and pay freezes for the staff, big bucks for the directors.”
Under total leftist attack, I did not know who to reply to, so I wrote back to Nasty Neil: “Your comment about the NHS… the NHS is shite and needs privatising. I’m with BUPA and the service is outstanding. Private companies work better than state run companies.”
This was like dropping the mother of all bombs, and our lefty NHS worshipers couldn’t handle it.
Martyn said: “do one you sad little troll.”
Confused Leeza said: “fancy comparing a Mac Donald’s delivery to a paramedic! So fucking funny!”
One honourable man, called Andy did defend this radical right-winger and said: “Took a break from Dorset Eye and came back and unfortunately it is still the same. Someone like Jordan has a different view (which I don’t particularly agree with) but he gets abused and bullied.”
Nasty Neil ignored Angelic Andy writing: “Congratulations on being able to afford private healthcare for youerlself [sic] but millions won’t be able to you ignorant , heartless prick .”
I hit back: “my cover costs about £150 a month… you can get covered for as little as £40 a month with less health benefits. Tell me how that makes me an ignorant, heartless prick?”
Nasty Neil wrote: “I’ve just fuckin told you why you’re heartless and ignorant ya fuckin clown.. Not everybody can afford £40 a month [Jobseekers Allowance is £297 a month] and some people will be REFUSED”
Admin then got involved (took them long enough) and warned me for the my offence (having a free mind that likes to debate): “I imagine you have some intelligence, in which case you would be perfectly aware of the make-up and sympathies of this group. I can only assume therefore that you are being deliberately provocative rather than wanting to contribute anything positive. This is, as you know, often described as ‘trolling’. Please try and be more constructive, or return to your own.”
I then unveiled my final act and wrote: “I joined the group to see different opinions and views to my own, whilst scrolling through my feed I commented on the post without seeing what group it was and accidentally caused world war three cos a bunch of lefties can’t handle an innocent debate. I sincerely apologise for the members of group, their inability to debate politely and their thin skin.”
You see… Left-wingers just can’t handle debate. They like to live in echo chambers online and therefore think the whole country subscribes to their worldview, but by doing so they then forget what their usual working-class voting base actually thinks. This is why the left is so out of touch today and this is why they will forever loose elections, they just can’t handle any opinion other than their own.
One thing for sure, the outstanding independent outlet The Dorset Eye (whilst not of my political persuasion) supports free-speech, I’ve still not been removed from the group, though – after this article, I probably will be.
REJOICE AT THAT NEWS!
Anyway, We’re off for a pint and a scotch egg in Tier 2 Cheshire. Cheerio.


politicalite--2020-12-12--EXCLUSIVE: Were Kary Mullis And Jeffrey Epstein Contract Killings For The Globalist Cause?

TWO men of very different repute : one a trailblazing scientist who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry , the other a financier and age of consent defyin playboy .
They don ’ t fit well on the same page .
Yet the deaths of Kary Mullis and Jeffrey Epstein should raise suspicions .
Were they contract killings of similar motive , to serve the globalist cause ?
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic , every nation in the world has relied on the polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) test to detect cases and estimate the prevalence of the virus .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1993 as a means of copying and amplifying DNA in the laboratory , leading to the human genome project .
It was never intended for diagnostic screening , and Mullis warned against such use , having seen how it overestimated the spread of HIV .
On 7th August last year , Mullis died of pneumonia at the age of 74 .
He was previously fit and healthy .
Since the coronavirus outbreak , several videos have circulated of him criticising the misapplication of PCR .
In one interview he was scathing towards US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ The man thinks you can take a blood sample and stick it in an electron microscope and if it ’ s got a virus in there you ’ ll know it ’ .
Fauci , according to Mullis , is a typical high-ranking administrator who knows little about science .
‘ They have their own agenda ’ , he opined , changing the rules to suit themselves .
Mullis ’ advice on his own invention was not appreciated .
When the World Health Organisation implored governments to ‘ test , test , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PCR was to be the main instrument .
All evidence of a high false-positive rate has been swept aside .
An excessive amplification cycle can find almost anything because big numbers were wanted ( particularly to shame leaders like Trump or Bolsonaro , who the progressive global elite despise ) .
Big numbers justified extreme actions : draconian lockdown , closure of shops , bars and churches , mandatory masking and curtailed social contact .
We can guess what Mullis would have said about this .
Potentially , he could even have stopped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ died just before the Event 201 pandemic planning exercise held by the World Economic Forum , and a few weeks before the disease emerged in Wuhan .
Co-incidence , cock-up or conspiracy ?
Any of these could explain events , but perhaps we have been so deterred from believing in secret plots that our default is to doubt the reasoning of the messenger .
Of course , many conspiracy theories are ludicrous , but sometimes a conspiracy may be real .
Consider the case of Jeffrey Epstein , who was arrested in July @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends in the highest of places , there was much speculation about what would be revealed in court .
But on 10th August it was announced that Epstein was dead , having committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan .
How was this possible ?
Pathologist Michael Baden , former chief medical examiner for New York City , did not believe that Epstein killed himself .
On the CBS documentary series 60 Minutes , he described the wounds as ‘ more consistent with ligature homicidal strangulation ’ .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone would have needed firm force to be applied .
Baden had fifty years of experience in examining corpses , including about a thousand deaths by hanging .
Was it a coincidence that Epstein had been removed from suicide watch on the day before he died ?
And that the unit cameras were not working ?
And that the two guards had both fallen asleep ?
Otherwise , one would expect that Epstein ’ s tearing of sheets would have been heard .
Many prominent figures , including Prince @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( the right-hand man of Tony Blair ) , Bill Clinton and Bill Gates may have quietly sighed with relief .
And indeed the Bilderberg Group , Trilateral Commission and the Davos set .
Do you think these people just want control ?
No , they want fun too , and Epstein would have spilled the beans on their depravities .
Tracks may be covered , but in the sceptical mind , mud sticks .

POLITICALITE LIVE is in the US capital Washington, DC as Left-wing groups hold a demonstration against the US President Donald Trump and his supporters who are also demonstrating to ‘stop the steal’.
Under the banner of ‘All out against Fascism’ the organiser’s social media channel also makes references to the right-wing group ‘Proud Boys’ who are expected to rally in DC over the weekend to support the US President.
Trump has yet to officially concede the result of the US presidential election to Joe Biden, with his legal team filing dozens of court cases in an attempt to overturn the results, many of which have been dismissed or withdrawn.
The president has provided little to no proof backing up the allegations.

“As one barrier is overcome another always seems to take its place, whether it’s the pronounced risk aversion of some care home chains and their insurers, or a lack of confidence in lateral flow tests among some local authorities.
