"CHINA IS PREPARING AN INVASION OF TAIWAN" Recent reports... indicate that China has demonstrated a new level of coordination with its massive fleet of civilian fishing vessels, which many analysts describe as part of the People's Armed Forces Maritime Militia. In mid-January 2026, ship-tracking data revealed thousands of Chinese fishing boats forming massive, tightly organized formations in the East China Sea. These included rectangular patterns stretching over 200 miles, with vessels holding steady positions rather than engaging in typical fishing behavior. These maneuvers occurred shortly after China's "Justice Mission 2025" military exercises. Experts interpret the fishing fleet activities as a likely at-sea mobilization and rehearsal of the maritime militia. Analysts suggest this tests rapid, large-scale muster of civilian vessels for contingencies like a maritime quarantine, blockade support, or gray-zone pressure especially against Taiwan. In the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, China will use all available ships. This means that it will involve tens of thousands of ships. Video for illustration:show more

The ANC, and now the DA is openly turning... South Africa into a terrorist playground and accelerating the Islamification of South Africa. Naledi Pandor, now Chancellor of Nelson Mandela University, has said loud and clear, "We as Muslims, we are a peace-loving people but we are permitted to engage in jihad when necessary." Hamas has offices in Cape Town. A registered political party for them. And now Yusuf Cassim is Deputy Minister of Higher Education, pushing the same radical agenda in our universities while White farmers continue to be tortured, raped, hacked to death and burned alive on their farms. This regime normalizes jihad, shelters Hamas, floods higher education with their sympathizers, and advances the Islamification of South Africa at the expense of our people. South Africa is a safe haven for terrorists and a death trap for Christian South Africans.show more
