'I am appalled that people are bringing up the Holocaust. Do not use OTHER GENOCIDES to describe THIS ONE."

My husband Sam Melia has just been found guilty of inciting racial hatred and encouraging criminal damage for creating stickers that said slogans such as:
-Reject White Guilt
-It’s ok to be White
-We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066
-White Lives Matter
-Stop Anti-White Rape Gangs
-Love Your Nation
He awaits sentencing on 1st March as has been advised not to talk about the case or trial as it could impact the sentence. I will also refrain from talking about the case or the trial until after sentencing as I don’t want to influence the sentence, being so close to Sam. Anybody else is free to talk about it, so please do.
I will say, however, that I am proud of my husband. He put his head above the parapet, defended his people and told the truth.
As detailed above, I won’t say any more about Sam just to be on the safe side, but I and many others unapologetically stand for a safe homeland for the British people. This will never change for us, no matter what they throw at us.
“We ask those who join us to march with us in a great and hazardous adventure. We ask them to be prepared to sacrifice all, but to do so for no small and unworthy ends. We ask them to dedicate their lives to building in this country a movement of the modern age, which by its British expression shall transcend, as so often before in our history, every precursor of the Continent in conception and in constructive achievement. We ask them to rewrite the greatest pages of British history by finding for the spirit of their age its highest mission in these islands. Neither to our friends nor to the country do we make any promises; not without struggle and ordeal will the future be won. Those who march with us will certainly face abuse, misunderstanding, bitter animosity, and possibly the ferocity of struggle and of danger. In return, we can only offer to them the deep belief that they are fighting that a great land may live.”

I have had quite a number of people messaging me asking where they can send donations in support of Sam and Laura. As such, I have set up a GiveSendGo in order for people to donate if they wish.
Over the last few years, Sam and Laura have worked tirelessly, despite having this court case hanging over their heads. Now Sam has been found guilty, it is likely he will serve a custodial sentence. As such, the goal of this campaign is raise them a small sum in order to allow them to go away for a week as a family before the date of Sam's sentencing.
The campaign can be found here:

🇺🇸🇸🇾🇮🇶🇾🇪🇮🇱El Pentágono estima que el refuerzo militar estadounidense en Oriente Próximo desde el 7 de octubre costará 1.600 millones de dólares, sin contar el costo de los misiles que el ejército estadounidense ha gastado atacando posiciones hutíes en Yemen o derribando drones y misiles en el Mar Rojo.
Esta factura no puede pagarse debido a la incapacidad de los legisladores para aprobar un presupuesto, dicen dos funcionarios estadounidenses.
Se cree que el costo de mantener esas operaciones durante un año completo rondaría los 2.200 millones de dólares.

🇮🇱 ❌️ 🇮🇷 Iran is now a ‘legitimate target’ for Israeli missile strikes, senior minister says
🔶️ Iran is now a “legitimate target” for Israeli missile strikes, one of the country’s most senior ministers has told the Telegraph, raising the prospect of an all out war with Tehran.
🔶️ He also complained that the war in Gaza had not been fought aggressively enough.
🔶️ Mr Barkat, who is favourite to succeed Benjamin Netanyahu as leader of the ruling Likud party, said Israel can afford to keep fighting and open up a new front with Lebanon despite the billion shekel (£200m) a day cost of the conflict.
🔶️ Israel is edging towards a full-blown war with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, having evacuated the north of the country. Mr Barkat said a second war was affordable while “the threat of Hezbollah must be eliminated”.
🔶️ “Whatever it takes,” he said, pointing out that Israel had shown “really good numbers” prior to the October 7 attack on the country by Hamas fighters.
🔶️ “We warn citizens to move out before we move in. No other place in the world has such ethical standards. But once we move in we have to make sure our soldiers are secure. The reality is at certain points in time I prefer a much more aggressive approach.”
🔶️ “It is difficult for Israel,” he said, “But we remember what happened to the six million Jews killed by Nazis and we won’t let that happen again… This is a religious war.”

🇮🇱 🇮🇳 🇵🇸 In a wide-ranging interview, Nir Barkat, Israel’s economy minister, also said Palestinians from the West Bank would never be allowed to work in the country again and will be replaced by more than a quarter of a million imported foreign workers.
🔶️ Israel has long been reliant on workers coming into the country from Gaza and the West Bank, but Mr Barkat, whose ministry is responsible for the construction industry, said: “We are done with Palestinian employees. The rationale behind it is very simple: we only want foreign employees from peaceful countries. We don’t want employees from enemies.
🔶️ “Unfortunately for Palestinians, 80 per cent of them support October 7. How the hell do you expect us to give jobs to somebody who supports October 7 and gets a million dollars if they kill Jews? We will only bring foreign labour from peaceful, loving companies. I am aggressively pursuing that.”
🔶️ He said Israel was currently home to 130,000 foreign workers, most of them with five-year work and residency permits, but he was looking to increase that to 300,000 “as soon as possible”.

🇺🇸 🇮🇶 US and Iraqi governments expected to start talks on future of US military presence in the country
🔶️ The US and Iraq are expected to soon begin talks on the future of the US military presence in the country, according to sources familiar with the matter, amid public calls from the Iraqi government for the US to withdraw its troops.
🔶️ The talks about the future of the US’ military presence have now taken on a greater urgency amid the wider regional instability, and amid growing public calls by the Iraqi government for the US to withdraw its troops from the country. Those calls have come in response to the US launching airstrikes inside Iraq targeting Iran-backed militants who have been attacking US personnel there.
🔶️ The US has roughly 2,500 troops currently in Iraq who have been operating there in an advise and assist capacity since December 2021, when the US military announced the end of its combat role in the country.
🔶️ Part of the discussions will focus on whether and when it will be feasible to end the US military presence in Iraq. The US prefers a schedule that would be based on conditions in Iraq, including the ongoing defeat of ISIS and the stability of the government and the Iraqi security forces, US officials said.

📢 🇾🇪 🇾🇪 Statement by the Yemeni Armed Forces regarding the clash with a number of American destroyers and warships, targeting an American warship, and forcing two American commercial ships to retreat and return in the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab - 01-24-2024 AD
In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
God Almighty said: {Kill them, and God will chastise them with your hands, and disgrace them, and grant you victory over them, and heal the breasts of your people, believers. N} God Almighty has spoken the truth
A victory for the oppression of the Palestinian people and ensuring a response to the American-British aggression against our country.
A clash took place today with a number of American destroyers and warships in the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab while those ships were providing protection for two American commercial ships. The results of the clash were as follows:
-A direct hit on an American warship.
-Forcing the two American merchant ships to retreat and return.
-A number of our ballistic missiles reached their targets despite the attempt of warships to intercept them.
In the clash, which lasted for more than two hours, the Yemeni armed forces used a number of ballistic missiles.
The Yemeni armed forces confirm that they will continue to prevent Israeli navigation or navigation heading to the ports of occupied Palestine in the Red and Arab Seas until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that they will take all necessary military measures within the legitimate right of defense of our country, our people, and our nation, by targeting all hostile American and British targets in the Red and Arab Seas.
God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs, the best protector, and the best helper
Long live Yemen, free, dear and independent
Victory belongs to Yemen and to all the free people of the nation
