  3. Please be careful when withdrawing cash in Czech regime - in my opinion (IMO), the Czech regime falsely accuses and publicly slanders people of taking more money than belongs to them and the police are searching for them:

    First, she is IMO falsely accused by the regime police and media of leaving with money which doesn't belong to her and is searched by the regime police:
    -------------------------------------------------

    "The elderly woman left the branch with extra money, the police are looking for her"
    idnes.cz/plzen/zpravy/plzen-po

    "An elderly woman left the branch with extra money, the police are looking for her" -- a photo of the woman with a visible face -- "an elderly woman left a few thousand CZK richer" -- "she didn't return the money that didn't belong to her. The police are looking for the woman."
    media24.cz/article/kuriozni-ch

    "The police are looking for the woman from the photo" -- "the Pilsen police are investigating" -- "she took several tens of thousands CZK from the Pilsen post office, which did not belong to her"
    novinky.cz/clanek/krimi-na-plz

    Then the media and the regime police IMO confesses that the woman did not take the money:
    ------------------------------------------

    "she doesn't have the thousands paid by mistake" -- "the police found out that this woman took only her money from the branch, and that's why we're canceling this search," the police spokeswoman explained.
    idnes.cz/plzen/zpravy/plzen-po

    "the police found that this woman only took her money from the branch, and therefore we are calling off this search," said the police spokeswoman" -- "the woman did nothing wrong"

  4. All #slander, and most #gossip, are cancerous to #truth - not just because of the way they spread - but because of the uncontrollable growth they amass around a person's true character; and while this obvious parallel is perhaps known by most, very few care, as evidenced by their prevalence in everyday life.

  5. You don’t get much more official than executing a #judicial #warrant. Concealing #evidence after the fact is a separate offense that also fits what is publicly known about both the #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti cases. The resulting #criminal penalties would attach to anyone who conspired in that concealment. This could reach more senior figures in the #Trump admin who acted to hinder #justice by using #lies & #slander to deflect responsibility &—worse—to score political points from the deaths.

  6. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1879-05), “The Truth of Intercourse,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 39

  8. This is one of those stories where I fail to relate to the protagonist or the antagonist

    There should be consequences for Joey Barton's clownery though. I hope it's savage.

  11. Hmmmm 🤔

    Almost two years ago, I posted a 3 star review on Google maps about a store in Germany. They didn't offer me good service, they threatened me with nasty things when I got angry for them not helping me when I asked politely and in my best German... Because I usually had better experience with them, I gave them 3 stars and told about them using bad words and scolding me for trying to ask help... It was a nasty experience... So I shared.

    Almost two years later, I get a German email from Google. I needed the translation help as I could not understand what I did wrong...

    I tried the link, and it didn't work. I had to manually find the comment, which had been blocked, because.....

    I had slanderd people online and I was breaking the rules of engagement! So... I complained almost two years ago about being verbally abused, about being mistreated after asking help due to a disability, and now they said that *I* was slandering the company!

    I deleted the blocked comment and hope that will do...

    So yeah, I've never gone back to that store since it happened, as they were also super rude to my mum then... But they apparently recently found out that this very old rating was showing them in a bad way (maybe they should have behaved better??? 🤔), so they report me for slander! 😂

    Another reason why I've not shared any reviews in a long time, you're not allowed to tell the truth when you've been mistreated/discriminated against, because that's you using slander against the bad folks....

    Ah well... It's a shitty store anyway! 😂

  13. According to the Labour Government, these people are all Jimmy Savile.

    That's the level of political debate coming from UKGOV right now.

    You know they want to say this about all LGBTQIA people as well, you can just feel it "We have to hide you all for the CHILDREN you see, you're all sex criminals, and we're not...."

  14. Bindel pushing the "Queers are peados" slander on the sly there, it's what she does. She isn't even a proper Lesbian, she just hates men that much, she's a 20th century cliché forcing itself into the 21st century

    These are the Zionists of Queerdom, and like how Zionists endanger Jews, so this scum endangers us with their fascist lies. Oh, and they very often are actual Zionists too, it won't surprise you to learn.

  15. A quotation from William Allingham

    To think all you say, is but candour;

    William Allingham (1824–1889) Irish poet, diarist
    Blackberries Picked Off Many Bushes (1884)

  16. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    “Censure,” says a late ingenious author, “is the tax a man pays for being eminent.” It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping it, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101
