Zahi Hawass totally debunks this bullshit:

Cleopatra was not black. As well documented history attests, she was the descendant of a Macedonian Greek general who was a contemporary of Alexander the Great. Her first language was Greek and in contemporary busts and portraits she is depicted clearly as being white.

The evidence for Cleopatra’s true heritage is overwhelming – and not, as Pinkett Smith has said in defense of the show, “highly debated.”

On that front, there is a shocking lack of corporate social media profiles with any Faggot Month imagery. Could we finally be winning, perhaps?.

Costco selling its last round of Bud Light, gives beer its fatal 'death star'

The Bud Light boycott has seemingly reached a new milestone after Costco appeared to halt plans to restock the beer.

The grocery center appeared to have given the beer its "death star," which is an asterisk placed next to the price of a product. When products receive this asterisk, it signifies that Costco will not restock an item once the item is sold out, according to Independent Journal Review.

Almost all of the licence-plate reading cameras that will enable London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s fresh crackdown on driving in the city in one neighbourhood have already been destroyed by ‘Blade Runners’, just days before the scheme is supposed to come into force.

As many as nine in ten of Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) cameras installed in the London suburb of Sydenham and Sidcup have already been disabled according to an online information-sharing group. According to The Times, the group takes submissions from the public when they see ULEZ cameras being installed, track locations on a viewable map, and record whether they are still functional or not.

Recent reports have noted the varying ways disgruntled members of the public — described as a criminal “small minority of people” by London government spokesmen but who call themselves ‘Blade Runners‘ — have found to take out the cameras they object to. Among them are full-on theft of the cameras themselves, detaching the power and data cables that feed into them from their street poles, cutting the wires, or less active acts as simple as pushing the camera upwards to point at the sky with a stick, or placing a sticker of the lens.

One recent video taken by a member of the public of an anti-camera activist in action as patrons at a local pub smoke and drink and watch the man at work reported by London’s local freesheet newspaper the Evening Standard shows him use a garden branch ‘lopper’ to cut the camera’s cables, rendering it useless.

Per The Times‘ report, 185 cameras have been spotted in Sydenham and Sidcup — a 56 square-mile area — and 156 of them have already been taken out of action, equivalent to 90 per cent. In other areas like Bromley, 80 per cent of known cameras have been vandalised, the group claims.

If all goes to plan, Khan’s plan to crack down on London traffic will go into force next Tuesday, the 29th of August. While he defends the scheme as one to enhance the air quality in London, critics say the rules which ban older cars and trucks from the street while imposing no fines on new vehicles has a pronounced effect on the less well-off and particularly blue-collar workers who rely on a truck to carry tools and materials.

Nigel Farage ally Richard Tice, leader of Reform UK said that move to push the ULEZ out from the very centre of London all the way to its orbital ring road is an “attack on ordinary working people, going to work, in their vehicles, it’s an assault, it’s a financial assault on people coming in to do a decent days work to earn some cash, to pay your bills.”

“He’s got no idea how big of an impact this will have on people’s lives. And for those who say ‘I don’t live near London, that doesn’t affect me’, yes it will because it’s coming to a city near you,” he added.

Attacking ULEZ cameras can constitute criminal damage and police are trying to catch those thought responsible. Last week they published a surveillance camera still of a man alleged to be in the act of damaging a camera. At the time of the statement, London’s police force said they had “recorded 288 crimes relating to ULEZ cameras. This includes approximately 185 reports of cables being damaged, 164 cameras being stolen and 38 reports of cameras being obscured” as of the beginning of that month.

Calling the damage “unacceptable acts of criminality”, police asked any witnesses or those with information to come forwards.

While the Mayor’s office has tried to not talk about the vandalism, arguing to do so gives publicity to those attacking the cameras, a recent report has highlighted the cost to the budgets of London’s local governments as they race to keep up with the pace of destruction. Looking at damage to all ‘Low Traffic Neighbourhood’ infrastructure including cameras, non-visual traffic monitoring equipment, and road-blocking bollards, it was said earlier this month that councils had spent £850,000 since 2020.

Those who oppose Low Traffic Neighbourhoods have been decried as being ‘conspiracy theorists’ by the establishment media. London’s Time Out magazine in a review of the controversy noted, for instance: “some conspiracy theorists claim that 15-minute cities would come with a greater surveillance culture, and that they would restrict people from moving between neighbourhoods. There’s little evidence to show that this would be the case.”

Disney CEO Bob Iger Wants to ‘Quiet the Noise’ in Conservative Culture War
September 20, 2023 by Shannen Ace
The Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger said in a statement to investors that the company will “quiet the noise” in the ongoing social war with conservatives (via Reuters).



Bob Iger Layoffs March 2023 1
Iger and Disney Parks, Experiences & Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro spoke to investors and analysts at Walt Disney World this week about the future of Disney Parks, stating they have “over 1,000 acres of land” and were budgeting $60 billion for theme park expansion.

Disney and conservative Governor Ron DeSantis have been locked in battle since Disney denounced Florida’s controversial Parental Rights in Education law. Disney received criticism for their political contributions to campaigns and individuals that seemed against their own stated principles. Then-retired Bob Iger denounced the bill, followed by Disney’s then-CEO Bob Chapek.

Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature then launched a campaign to dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District where Walt Disney World Resort resides. Ultimately, DeSantis took over the district, renaming it the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, and appointing his own conservative board of supervisors.

After the CFTOD Board attempted to declare Disney’s final agreements with RCID null and void, Disney filed a federal lawsuit against the Board and DeSantis, calling their actions a violation of their constitutional rights. The Board then filed a state lawsuit against Disney, and Disney is now countersuing on the state level.

In addition to the District battle, conservatives have criticized Disney for hiring Black actress Halle Bailey to portray Ariel in “The Little Mermaid,” including a same-sex interracial couple in “Lightyear,” closing Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, and more moves that have been part of Disney’s attempts at diversity and inclusivity.

Iger’s wish to “quiet the noise” echoes previous statements he has made on the subject. After he was re-hired as CEO in November 2022, he said during a town hall with employees that he wanted to “work to quiet things down.”

In response to a question about a “woke agenda” during the April shareholders meeting, Iger said, “Our primary mission needs to be to entertain … and to have a positive impact on the world. I’m very serious about that. It should not be agenda-driven.”

Reuters could not immediately reach Disney for comment.
