His early release came after he agreed to take down some social media posts, including parts of his “Silenced” documentary.
Outside the prison gates, Robinson blasted the British legal system for cracking down on citizen journalists. He called prison “an occupational hazard” in a country that “doesn’t believe in free speech.” He also thanked Elon Musk for letting him speak freely on X.

HARVARD President’s CHILLING Warning: White House Wants to Control Who Gets In
— Harvard President Alan Garber says the Biden White House is trying to take charge of who gets hired and admitted at the school. He warns this could limit what people are allowed to say on campus.
Garber told NBC’s Lester Holt that Harvard is standing up for American universities, which he says are important for our economy and way of life. He was asked how much pressure Harvard can handle from Washington. Garber said they cannot give up on protecting free speech.
He admitted he isn’t sure if Harvard can win this battle, but said the stakes are too high to walk away now.

NETANYAHU BLASTS ‘Deep State’ Control In Justice Systems
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized judicial institutions on X, claiming they are manipulated for political agendas. He stated, “In America and Israel, when a strong right-wing leader wins an election, the leftist Deep State weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people’s will.” Netanyahu emphasized unity between right-wing movements in both countries.
Netanyahu’s remarks come amid his ongoing legal battles and conflicts with Israel’s Attorney General and internal security head. He wants to dismiss these officials due to a lack of confidence but faces resistance from entrenched bureaucracies. His comments resonate with conservatives worried about judicial systems being used against leaders like President Trump in the U.S.
Elon Musk, owner of X and billionaire tech entrepreneur, showed support for Netanyahu by replying with a “100” emoji. Musk has previously voiced concerns over government overreach and political weaponization of institutions.

WILDFIRE CHAOS: Thousands Flee as California Inferno Spreads
— A fast-moving WILDFIRE near Camarillo, California, has destroyed dozens of homes and forced over 10,000 residents to evacuate.

Governor Gavin Newsom confirmed evacuation orders for thousands as the fire threatened 3,500 structures in suburban and agricultural areas. The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning until Thursday evening due to high fire danger conditions. Winds are expected to decrease by Thursday night, offering some hope for containment efforts.
Power outages affected over 30,000 customers statewide early Thursday morning amid Santa Ana winds notorious for spreading fires quickly.

EU’S NEW SPEED Control Rules: Are They an Invasion of Driver Freedom?
— Starting July 6, 2024, all new cars and trucks sold in the European Union and Northern Ireland must be equipped with technology that alerts drivers when they exceed speed limits. This could mean audible warnings, vibrations, or even automatic slowing of the vehicle. The intention is to boost road safety by curbing high-speed accidents.
The United Kingdom has decided not to enforce this rule strictly. Although new vehicles will have intelligent speed assistance (ISA) installed, drivers can choose whether to activate it each day. ISA works by using cameras and GPS to recognize local speed limits and notify drivers when they are going too fast.
Should a driver ignore these warnings and continue speeding, ISA will take action by automatically reducing the car’s speed. This technology has been available as an option in certain car models since 2015 but became mandatory in Europe from 2022 onwards.
This move raises questions about personal freedom versus public safety benefits. While some see it as a necessary step towards reducing traffic accidents, others view it as an overreach into personal driving habits and choices.
COLORADO Democrats PUSH for Drastic GUN Control: Igniting Nationwide Alarm
— Colorado’s Democratic party is fervently pushing a series of gun control bills, reflecting policies from liberal states like California. These bills have largely slipped under the media radar, sparking concerns among Second Amendment experts. Ava Flanell, a firearms instructor based in Colorado Springs, cautions that these legislative proposals could have far-reaching effects.
The proposed legislation encompasses banning “assault weapons,” typically semi-automatic rifles such as AR-15s. It also includes imposing an 11% tax on gun and ammunition sales and raising the bar for concealed handgun training classes. Additionally, one bill aims to restrict where firearm owners can carry their weapons — places like parks, banks, and college campuses are included.
These contentious bills are currently under scrutiny by the state’s General Assembly where Democrats hold majority in both chambers. With Governor Jared Polis also being a Democrat, the party holds all three branches of power in Colorado politics.
Last year similar laws were enacted in Washington with no positive impact on crime rates but had devastating effects on local gun stores. Flanell is urging unity to prevent these bills from spreading to other states.

US STEEL SHOCK: Government Grabs Control in Nippon Deal
— The U.S. government will keep tight control over U.S. Steel after Japan’s Nippon Steel agreed to buy the company for $14.9 billion. Senator Dave McCormick says a “golden share” gives Washington veto power over big decisions, easing fears about foreign ownership and national security.
The agreement promises an American CEO, a mostly U.S.-based board, and direct federal oversight of key operations. Nippon Steel also plans to invest $2.4 billion to upgrade plants and create thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania, giving local industry a boost.
President Trump now backs the deal — as long as headquarters stay in Pittsburgh and American control is locked in by the golden share rule. He called it an “investment” that keeps power with the USA, hoping this will calm critics from both parties.
Still, some lawmakers are wary about letting any foreign company near such a vital industry. Many are watching this deal closely as it could become a blueprint for protecting American interests during future foreign takeovers of important companies.
