Morgoth is not even an "edgy boi". He just writes essays and records them spoken aloud on YT.
This is weird.
Very weird.

I'd love to know what's really up with this and who pulled the strings to get him taken down. I think Morgoth and AA move far more people than most politicos would like to admit.

What is Twitter? Why is it important? Does it have any real meaning in ones life? Are there other platforms one could use to carry out the same activities? The user is enabling Twitter. This is why Emperor Elonicus is running polls, making the user think they have a say in the decision making. It is illusion. Emperor Elonicus does not care about free speech. He is a technocrat, high on power and ready to merge your children with machines. Twitter should have been blocked by the user, years ago.

Email received from Newsguard:


Hi, this is Mxxxxx, an editor with NewsGuard, a company that reviews and rates thousands of news and information websites, including unitynewsnetwork.co.uk, for various metrics of credibility and transparency. You can check out more about us at our website here: www.newsguardtech.com.

For each website we review, NewsGuard awards a score from 0 to 100, depending on how many of NewsGuard’s nine credibility and transparency criteria (weighted in order of importance) the site meets. A site scoring below a 60 earns a Red, or generally unreliable, rating.

We are publishing a year end list of the most engaged sites that repeatedly publish false content, and unitynewsnetwork.co.uk is one of them. We previously determined that unitynewsnetwork.co.uk does not meet the following few criteria we have on (1) whether a website gathers and presents information responsibly, (2) does not repeatedly publish false information, and (3) regularly corrects or clarifies errors. Can you comment on this assessment?


UNN response:

Newsguard is part of the globalist regime's attempts to silence alt media and fundamentally the truth. The lower the rating we get from Newsguard the happier we will be!

Kind Regards,

The UNN Team

Simon, I don't have the free time to answer to each statement; so only the most important ones, in my opinion.

> I follow just one, and it is clear from the footage that Russia currently is likely to win this conflict.

It is said that the Reich claimed to be "close to win" in 1945 even though the military situation was rather obvious.
The further it goes, the louder Russia will claim they're winning: they don't have another choice. Unless there's a coup.
(Btw, there are specialists who are making analysis and finding quite a lot of similarities between modern Russia and the Third Reich. For instance, Putin's speech in Feb is very similar to Hitler's speech before invasion to Poland.)

I hope this wasn't done with malicious intent but twice in your message you've assigned me opinions that I never expressed. Specifically here:

> One thing I do struggle with you is that as you see it, nothing the current Ukraine regime does or says can be questioned... nothing.

and here:

> And, whilst I'm at it, why do you think you have a God given right to demand more weapons from other nations?

Corruption: who is rating corruption? Another "philanthropic" international org?
There's corruption in all countries. The way it sounds, just the "covid affair" alone is going to be the largest corruption deal in history. That one is surely not on Ukraine.

> it was always widely publicised in western media about the nazi problem in Ukraine

Why did you decide that was the truth? Ukraine doesn't have nazi as organized groups. Btw, Russian media repeat "nazi in other countries" like a mantra. But despite that mantra, there are real nazi orgs in Russia itself.

> Was that the Ukraine you want? Because, nothing was being done internally to change it.

Ukrainians know quite well about internal issues, as well as about what was done and what remains to be done. Saying "nothing was done" is definitely not true.

> Why will Ukraine not even slightly consider being a neutral country?

Ukraine did consider it. A lot. Before 2014: Russian invasion quickly convinced most population that this world is not kind to "neutral fools".

> A friend of mine took in a Ukrainian refugee family....

The form doesn't always match the content.
