A SHIP SINKS IN OCCUPIED CYPRUS, PEOPLE DIE. TURKEY’S REPS TELL THE LEGAL AUTHORITY OF THE ISLAND ITS HELP IS NOT ACCEPTED🚨 Earlier today a passenger ferry left occupied Kyrenia for Mersin with about 267 people on board. Within minutes it took on water and capsized, leaving at least seven people dead and dozens still missing. Survivors clung to an overturned hull while the wreck went down to the seabed a couple of hundreds of meters deep. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre of the Republic of Cyprus, the only internationally recognised state on this island and the only lawful SAR authority for these waters, received the emergency and offered immediate help. President Christodoulides instructed contact with Turkey’s representative in occupied Cyprus Tufan Erhurman & co for every available Cypriot asset that could be used but instead accepting help, the occupying side’s answer was that they “do not need the assistance.” If you don’t know what the Cyprus problem is all about, this should enlighten you. Occupied Cyprus, a territory held by Turkey since the 1974 invasion is an illegal regime that Turkey alone recognises. The occupied coast where Ankara’s forces, not the government of the Republic of Cyprus, decide who is allowed to save lives and who’s not. Turkey doesn’t want to accept that the legitimate authorities of the island, an EU member state, have the right and the duty to act in a maritime disaster off Kyrenia which belongs to the Republic of Cyprus. It’s politics first for Turkey and human beings come second, that’s exactly how illegal occupation works. Mainstream media must stop laundering this by reporting that this happened in “northern Cyprus” or treat Erhurman’s illegal administration as a normal government, hiding the fact that the lawful search and rescue system of the island was blocked by the occupying power and its local representatives like himself. Say it clearly Reuters, BBC, AFP News Agency and many others, this tragedy happened in occupied Cyprus and Turkey prevents the Republic of Cyprus from exercising its authority even when people are drowning. Days ago Tufan Erhürman was writing letters to the UN, the EU and FC Barcelona over a cancelled football camp but today people are missing at sea and the same structure that answers to Turkey refuses Cypriot rescue assets. Grievance politics is not a reason to turn away help, neither is the fiction of a second state on this island. The Republic of Cyprus is the sole sovereign authority of the whole island. Turkey occupies part of it, partitions its air and sea space and in a crisis still decides who will help. This is an illegal occupation that now has a body count attached to a Sunday ferry. To all mainstream media and independent journalists: Name the place - occupied Cyprus Name the occupation - Turkish occupation Name who blocked the rescuers - Turkey

CAPE TOWN & JOBURG FLYOVERS MAKE CROWDS GASP, THE ROOIVALK MADE PHYSICS FILE A COMPLAINT🚨 If you think the Cape Town and Joburg flyovers are out of this world, wait until you see what South African pilots do when they get bored of flying the right way up. South Africans didn’t just pioneer low level stadium flyovers, they built the Rooivalk, an indigenous attack helicopter that could pull a 360 loop and briefly fly upside down, in 1990. When other countries were still teaching their helicopter pilots how to hover politely, South African pilots were treating a state of the art gunship like a stunt plane. While everyone was saying that helicopters can’t loop because of physics, rotors and gravity, South Africans said, “Hold my biltong, let me show you”, so they put a cannon on the nose, stub wings, missiles and still made it roll and loop. So ja, while some heli pilots are still mastering forward, backward and trying to avoid hitting the hangar, South African pilots were already flying upside down.

SPAIN IS BEING OVERRUN AND SANCHEZ OWNS THIS🚨 Today, thousands of migrants stormed the border into Ceuta from Morocco. This did not come out of nowhere, Pedro Sanchez’s government spent months pushing a massive regularisation scheme that was supposed to cover around 500,000 illegal migrants where over a million applied. Meanwhile to make the situation worse, temporary work permits have already been handed out to hundreds of thousands while applications are processed. The message the Sanchez government sent is clear, Spain will regularise large numbers of people who entered or stayed illegally. When a government signals that illegal presence can lead to papers, more people will obviously come, it’s not rocket science to figure it out. Sanchez and his ministers own the policy choices that created the incentives and the weakened deterrence. They own the repeated preference for regularisation and “integration” rhetoric over firm border control and rapid returns. They own the gap between talking about returns and the reality of overloaded facilities and uncontrolled crossings at Ceuta. Two things need to happen ASAP: ▪️Sanchez resigns, a government that promises pathways that function as magnets, then watches the border collapse under the resulting pressure, has lost the authority to continue ▪️New leadership must prioritise the deportation of every person who entered or remains illegally, starting with those who crossed today and those already in the system without legal basis. Borders that are not enforced stop being borders Spain is a sovereign country but sovereignty requires control of who enters and who stays. What happened in Ceuta today is the predictable result of policies that prioritised regularisation over enforcement. Responsibility sits with the government that designed and defended those policies.

🚨ERDOGAN OPENLY THREATENS BALLISTIC MISSILE STRIKE ON ATHENS A NATO member explicitly threatening ballistic missile strikes on the capital of another NATO member and what does the alliance do? Nothing whatsoever, silence. How about the EU? Same story. They lecture the world on “European solidarity,” “rule of law” and “collective defense,” yet consistently looks the other way when it comes to Turkish aggression against Greece, a full EU and NATO member state. This isn’t new, it’s been going on for decades: ▪️Aegean overflights and dogfights ▪️Threats of invasion suddenly one night ▪️Casus belli over Greek islands ▪️Hybrid provocations, and now domestic ballistic missiles aimed squarely at Athens All this is met with EU apprehension, quiet diplomacy and NATO’s desperate need to “keep Turkey on side.” Seems like strategic interests apparently justify tolerating open blackmail inside the alliance. How does Article 5 mean anything if one ally can openly target another with impunity? How credible is the EU when Brussels tolerates direct threats against a member’s capital? This selective blindness isn’t pragmatism, it’s dangerous appeasement that erodes deterrence, weakens the alliances from within and leaves frontline states like Greece exposed. The silence from Brussels isn’t just embarrassing, it’s reckless too. Mark Rutte Kyriakos Mitsotakis Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Donald J. Trump Ambassador Tom Barrack

BRITISH BASES AND TURKISH TROOPS OUT OF CYPRUS🚨 President Nikos Christodoulides is showing strong leadership and determination in pursuing justice for Cyprus. In close cooperation with the EU, Christodoulides has initiated discussions to address the British sovereign bases of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, describing them as a “colonial consequence” & remnant and calling for an open, frank conversation with the UK government once the Middle East situation stabilizes.The EU stated it’s ready to assist Cyprus in these talks. This bold step toward reclaiming full sovereignty over our island is inspiring. Now is the time for the same principled approach to the illegal Turkish occupation of the northern part of Cyprus, where 🇹🇷 troops must withdraw and that territory returned to the control of the Republic of Cyprus. Kudos to President Christodoulides for his tireless efforts and visionary leadership. Cyprus deserves unity, justice and full sovereignty, let’s keep pushing for this.

CYPRUS FIRES CONTAINED🚨 We thank and appreciate all countries who rushed to help our brave firefighters and volunteers to fight the wildfires. Thank you Jordan, UK, Italy and Spain for the aerial support and Greece for the ground support. Our special thanks though goes to the Israeli Air Force for sending two C130s that dropped 34 tons of fire retardant chemicals which stopped the spread of the fire therefore saving the Troodos mountain range and of course containing it. The Cypriot authorities must now investigate and start arresting the culprits who caused the deaths of two pensioners and the destruction of 20 communities.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA CALLED IT RECKLESS, SOUTH AFRICA CALLS IT TRADITION🚨 Two Airlink Embraers roared over DHL Stadium before the Springboks beat the All Blacks yesterday and what happened? The internet exploded with unbelievable keyboard warrior analysis, “too low, dangerous, could have been catastrophic” and a whole lot more. What all these “critics” and keyboard analysts don’t know or perhaps have forgotten, South African pilots have been doing this for decades. In 1995 at Ellis Park, Captain Laurie Kay flew “Lebombo”, a Boeing 747 low over a packed World Cup final stadium. Remember what was painted on the underwings and belly of the Jumbo jet? “GOOD LUCK BOKKE” In Cape Town yesterday was the same tradition, not a stunt cooked up for wows, views and clicks but to give the Bokke power and good luck but let’s see what these “critics” skipped: ▪️SA Civil Aviation Authority approved ▪️Three senior captains in each cockpit ▪️Planned altitude and speed of 150 knots planned ▪️Flight data was inside the approved limits ▪️Pilots are trained in some of the world’s harshest weather conditions, Cape southeaster winds, highveld thunderstorms, mountain waves and short African runways ▪️The 40ft clearance over the roof was tight and spectacular but not illegal and certainly without improvisation A packed stadium with fireworks doing their magic and two crews who executed a brief that takes planning most keyboard experts will never see is called skill, it’s also called pride. If your first instinct is panic instead of precision, you are not watching aviation, you are watching a camera angle which can be misleading. Let’s praise the crews for this spectacular show and always remember Laurie Kay, the fine top class pilot who started this. Stop treating excellence like a crime guys, it’s not.
