Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young.
The truth about Lutnick will never die
I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.
Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

BBC News:

I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.
My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.
I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day.
The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.
Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

In her last hours as DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem bought a bunch of luxury planes with taxpayer money from one of her big donors, marked up by millions each, that all sat unused.
Is this the government fraud and waste Republicans were referring to?

U.S. police kill civilians at a rate nearly incomparable to other wealthy democracies.
It's not just "a few bad apples."
ALT Graph showing that U.S. police kill civilians at a much higher rate (33.5 per 10 million) than Canada (9.8), Australia (8.5), The Netherlands (2.3), New Zealand (2.0), Germany (1.3), England & Wales (0.5), Japan (0.2), Iceland(0.0), and Norway (0.0).

The pig industry relies on the blood of pregnant horses.
Pregnant mares are kept on ‘blood farms’ and are repeatedly, forcibly impregnated so their blood can be harvested for PMSG - a hormone used by the pig industry to manipulate mother pigs’ reproductive cycles and increase litter sizes.
Blood farms operate in countries including Iceland, Argentina and Uruguay. Their product ends up in pig farms here in the UK.
It’s another example of how animal agriculture treats animals as production units - extracting whatever it can from their bodies to produce more animals, more ‘meat’ and more profit.
And while these practices are horrific, the problem isn’t simply that animals are being treated badly. The problem is that we’re treating animals as commodities at all.
There is no ‘ethical’ way to exploit animals for profit.
Animals are not products. They are individuals who deserve to live for themselves.
You choose what you pay for every day.
Choose vegan.

WAS THIS WARRANTED
This video shows Ben Braver. He's a democrat who is running for the Florida State House. Today he was arrested and thrown to the ground by police.Because he heckled JD Vance.
Is this what free speech looks like under Trump?

Holy shit 🇧🇷 In an UNPRECEDENTED move, the United States suspends ALL embassy services in all American consulates in Brazil… with no justification whatsoever. Yet another fear-stoking effort to interfere in the country’s democratic elections this weekend.

So Hegseth knew they were unarmed & decided to kill them. So Christian. Broke naval law. Easily could have taken the ship w no resistance
104 Iranian sailors, many in their late teens, unarmed, thousands of miles away at a training event with other nations.
Their final words to the US warship that slaughtered them "we are unarmed".
The law of armed conflict states survivors to be recused - the US ignored this.
