Experts have warned that far right groups are weaponising Christianity for their political agendas and have urged churches to speak out against right-wing extremism. They said groups like Britain...

Lastly, we have footage of Simone and Malcolm Collins using PolygenX tools to select their embryos based on IQ and detail how they spread far-right conspiracy theories on their YouTube here: https://t.co/Y8MQmwYClP

Our report raised questions on how this tech was developed. PolygenX claimed access to sensitive genetic data from the UK Biobank. Data given to advance health research, not for groups connected to the far right help rich couples practice soft eugenics. https://t.co/0RYVwMLUta

We broke the PolygenX/Heliospect story last year with the @Guardian because multiple people involved, including its Chief Science Officer has engaged in far-right groups. One has even bought nazi books. https://t.co/oVC2u3Vo7f

Good to see @nytimes covering rise of polygenic embryo screening & companies like Heliospect. I just think that it’s important to give the full context of the clear connection to the far right and support of eugenics on some of the people they cover… https://t.co/KCXL1cZcVZ

Min kollega Joakim Medin är frihetsberövad i allierade Turkiet. Vi vet inte var han är. Dela!
SVENSK JOURNALIST FRIHETSBERÖVAD I TURKIET Det här skrev Dagens ETC:s reporter Joakim Medin igår när han landat i Istanbul för att bevaka senaste utvecklingen. Nu har det gått mer än 24 timmar. Tystnad. Jag vet inte var han är. Inte om han förhörs. Inte om han deporteras.

In today's episode of Science Has Always Been Political: the journal Intelligence *invited an editorial* in 1998 by Harry Weyher, President of the Pioneer Fund, to defend its funding of research on race differences in IQ. Pioneer Fund = "scientific racism's keeper of the flame"

Sabisky long-term strategy is to place like-minded individuals in positions of power and he has already had some success. He continues to be let into rooms of power, despite having been exposed for holding extreme racist views. Read the full story here! https://t.co/rkkylKFFbQ

Based on undercover footage, we show that he has not changed his views but is being rehabilitated by friends in Westminster. One of these is Will Dry, the former Conservative advisor.

New story! Andrew Sabisky, recruited by Dominic Cummings to No.10 under Boris Johnson was sacked after his racist views on IQ and race were exposed. We can reveal that he continued to do work for No.10 without the PM's knowledge thanks to friends on the inside.

Andrew Sabisky, recruited by Dominic Cummings, sacked for grim eugenics views, operating in the shadows, surrounded by scientifically illiterate ideologues, pulling strings and courting favour. Unravelling Westminster’s secret influence network
