China’s netizens are using AI to recreate important moments from their history. One of the most powerful: the Battle of Yashan, 1279. As Mongol forces closed in on the last Southern Song stronghold, chancellor Lu Xiufu carried the 8-year-old emperor Zhao Bing on his back and leapt into the...

The Song Dynasty was an extremely glorious period in Chinese history in terms of economy, science, technology, and culture, yet it was unable to withstand the cavalry armies of the Mongols. In this instance, barbarism triumphed over civilization, and China entered a dark age.

幸运的是最终汉人得以复国并对蒙古人和它们的仆从军色目人和部分北方汉人进行了清算。 留在中原的蒙古人和色目人要么被杀,剩下的被要求不得保留它们的语言和文化而被强制同化。 南宋君臣如果泉下有知也可以瞑目了

有时代的局限性,向崖山后退可能是战略失误。其次,史书向来夸张,我记得好像是吴晗的说法,史书上的数字一般至少夸大三倍。崖山伤亡数字,我怀疑夸大了十倍。真有别说十万兵,一万兵也不是个小数目了。蒙古人拥有的骑兵总数也就10-15万。汉人降兵恐怕是主力,也就是汉人杀汉人。(如范文虎、吕文焕)

Do not let your emotions and the flood of shia propaganda on social media sway your foundations The Shia have never in their history conquered a land from the non Muslims NOT ONCE Rather, when ahl as sunnah wal jama’ah fall short, become weak and lose our way, the Shia, who sheikh al Islam ibn Taymiyyah described as the donkeys of the Jews, come to harm the Muslims and stab us in the back - in 2006, the shias would set up road blocks in Baghdad and kill those with “sunni names”, like a’isha and umar - it was a Shia grand vizier who stabbed the abbasids in the back by helping the mongols to rampage through the Abbasid caliphate, where they sacked Baghdad, destroyed precious religious books, burned mosques and spilled the blood of millions of Muslims - it was the shia who killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims in modern day Iran. Iran was majority shafi’i, until the Safavids forced Muslims to convert and killed those who refused - it was the Shia, notably khamenei who described his killing of Sunni Muslim civilians (not referring to Isis) in Syria as a battle between Islam and kufr - it is the Shia who celebrate the assassination of Umar, they even glorify and do pilgrimage to the grave of the devil who stabbed him - the shia of kufa betrayed Hassan and Hussein - the shia betrayed Zayd, grandson of Hussein - it was the shia who sided with the crusaders against Salahuddin - it was a shia who betrayed tipu sultan by conspiring with the British, resulting in tipu sultan’s death and the fall of the kingdom of mysore - it was a shia who betrayed the last bengal nawab which resulted in mughal bengal being conquered by the east India trading company - it was the shia Safavids who allied with the Habsburgs to fight the Ottoman Empire - it was the shia who attacked the ottomans from the east, causing the ottomans to withdraw some of their forces from the west to send to the east, meaning the ottomans had to pause their advancements in the west And this is but a taste of the treacherous ways of the shia “Oh but they’re standing up for Palestine” No, they are USING Palestine for their own agenda. The Jews want to turn al Aqsa into a temple, the shia want to turn it into a shrine “But the Sunni countries are doing nothing to wage war against Israel” It is no secret that ahl as sunnah are weak at present, and we have many faults and problems, internal and external. The solution to that is not to jump ship to a deviant faith grounded in shirk, innovation and disobedience to Allah Al Aqsa will not be freed by anything other than Islam. Not secularism, not communism, not nationalism and not the Shia If you are weak in faith, knowledge and aqeedah you will be swept up in the tidal wave of emotions, impulse and shia propaganda But if you are steadfast, grounded and upon the straight path, you will not find yourself bewitched or brainwashed by a religion that contradicts the Quran and sunnah at every turn whilst claiming to be based on it, whose followers have a track record of deceit, betrayal and treachery STAND YOUR GROUND O MUSLIM.

Do you think that by the folly of man, the glory of God can be diminished? . I tell you, no kingdom of this earth, no rebellion of heart, no blasphemy of tongue can ever tarnish the majesty of the Almighty. His glory is not made by the hands of men, nor is it undone by their defiance. . Consider the arrogance of those who refuse to kneel, who claim that their disbelief can unmake the Creator. They are like madmen in a darkened cell, scratching the word ‘darkness’ upon the walls as though, by their crude mark, they could blot out the sun. But tell me, does the sun diminish because it is unseen by the blind? Does its light falter because a lunatic curses its name? No, my friend. The sun remains, burning with relentless brilliance, giving life to all who dwell beneath it, whether they acknowledge it or not. . So it is with God. His glory is eternal, unshaken by the denial of men. He is the architect of the heavens, the One who breathed life into dust and set the stars upon their courses. His majesty does not depend on our worship, yet it is we who are diminished when we turn away. For in refusing to see His light, we do not extinguish it—we only cast ourselves into the shadow of our own making. . Know that to deny God is not an act of power but of despair. It is the rejection of hope, the refusal to see the beauty written into the very fabric of existence. A man who scribbles darkness upon the walls of his soul does not conquer the light, he only blinds himself to it. Yet even in his rebellion, God’s glory shines undimmed. For the sun does not cease to rise because a man refuses to look upon it. And God does not cease to reign because His children wander from His embrace. . If you ever find yourself in doubt, remember this: the defiance of man is but a whisper against the roar of eternity. The glory of God is as unyielding as the mountains and as boundless as the sea. It is woven into the sunrise, the turning of the seasons, the song of creation itself. You cannot destroy it. You cannot unmake it. You can only choose whether to bask in its light or to linger in the shadows. . Take heart, then and do not be swayed by the noise of those who mock the divine. For their words are as fleeting as the wind but the glory of God is eternal. Acknowledge Him not because He needs your praise but because your soul needs His light. Worship Him not as a favor to the Almighty but as a declaration that you see, that you understand, that you are humbled by the grandeur of the One who crafted all that is and all that ever will be. . God’s glory is not diminished by denial, nor is it amplified by praise. But you, my friend—you are elevated when you bow before the Eternal. You are strengthened when you trust in the One who holds the stars in place. And you are transformed when you abandon the shadows of pride and step into the radiance of His truth. . Remember this always: the lunatic may scrawl his defiance but he cannot extinguish the light. The doubter may deny the sun but he cannot halt its rise. And the world may rage against the King of Kings but it cannot dethrone Him. Stand firm, therefore, as one who walks in the light of God. Let your life be a testimony that His glory endures forever, unshaken, unyielding and undeniable. . For in the end, my friend, it is not God who is diminished by our defiance. It is we. And it is not the sun that falters when we turn away—it is the world that grows colder in its absence. #ChristIsKing #WeAreTheStorm

Years of pain, death and loss of loved ones. But these are also years of incredible heroism and valor, the fight for life and freedom. Years of destruction and loss, betrayal and lies from those who were believed and trusted. But these are also three years of victories and liberation, loyalty and struggle for truth and goodness. Years that showed the true face of many people. Where some sided with tyranny, terror and the aggressor. And others remained on the side of the people who did not attack anyone, but simply wanted to live peacefully on their land, fighting for their future and the security of Europe, for their land and their home, for their country, for their freedom, against Russian fascism and the plague. War is the most insane and terrible thing that people will do. And only an absolute madman or a demon in the form of a man who has long lost any human qualities in himself can wish for war. But the fight against evil teaches us a lot. War teaches you to appreciate and love more. War teaches us to distinguish good from evil. War shows the real faces of people. War brings out the worst in some people, but it also brings out the best in others: valor, honor, kindness. On our part, an aggressive war should never be justified, where someone else's freedom is trampled, where someone else's lands and home are seized. Where innocent people are deprived of life. But a defensive war, where people defend their freedom, their home, their future, their children, is something completely different. And such a defense of life and freedom is the duty of the entire free world, if honor and dignity are not an empty place for it. War is not a Hollywood action movie. It is death, pain, destruction. And when some in the world seek justification for this evil, they try to close their eyes to it or justify the aggressor. When there is no determination to fight this evil. It only breeds new wars and new evils. You can have a lot of money, you can have political and social influence. You can promote your propaganda and buy everything and everyone. But you can never buy the truth, honor and dignity for money if you don't have it. And history will forever remember those who supported terror, invaders and murderers. And history will forever remember who was on whose side. And I don’t believe in the proverb “History is written by the winner”. If this winner is on the side of evil, then he can distort this history for a while by writing his own propaganda and lies. But sooner or later the truth will come out and fall into place. This is how it has always been and this is how it will always be. The truth will always sooner or later prevail over lies. And this real story will be remembered forever. Just as those who stand on the side of evil, who committed thousands of war crimes, genocide, terror and murder, will be remembered. Just as she will remember those who stand on the side of good, the defense of freedom and life, on the side of truth and honor. And who retained his conscience and dignity. All the darkness of the universe cannot extinguish even the smallest candle. Always remember this. The world is not perfect. And this world will never be perfect. But for now there are those who are ready to fight for goodness, freedom, love, truth and justice. This world still has a chance to exist.

Fearless to the End: The Heroic Last Stand of Lt. Col. Alari and His Troops in the Timbuktu Triangle By: Zagazola Makama In the unforgiving terrain of the Timbuktu Triangle, where the desert meets destiny, a battle of immense ferocity unfolded. It was here that Lt. Col. Thomas Ebisingha Alari and his troops of the 19 Battalion, 199 Battalion, and 149 Battalion made their heroic last stand against the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists, pushing back wave after wave of insurgents before paying the ultimate price. The exclusive footage obtained by Zagazola reveals the raw intensity of the confrontation. a demonstration to the courage of soldiers who stood their ground against overwhelming odds. Before the encounter that claimed their commander’s life, the troops had already eliminated over 70 terrorist combatants, including three notorious commanders: TALHA, a ruthless special forces leader; Mallam Umar, and Abu Yazeed, another Fiye (Commanding Officer). It was a battle fought with unyielding resolve. As the terrorists launched a massive assault, deploying a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) to breach the military’s defenses, the troops fought back fiercely. The explosion shook the battlefield, but the soldiers held their ground, raining fire on the enemy with precision and determination. The terrorists were hard saying “Amaliya and scampering for safety after a bomb was lunched in their location, which killed some of them. Lt. Col. Alari was no ordinary commander. He was a warrior, a leader who fought side by side with his men, never retreating, never faltering. Even as the battle raged and the odds stacked against them, he remained resolute, rallying his troops with unwavering bravery. Like a Spartan in his final stand, he refused to yield. He fought until his last breath, ensuring that his men had done what they could to repel the terrorists before he fell in the heat of combat. His death was not in vain. His sacrifice, and that of his fellow soldiers, ensured that the terrorists suffered devastating losses. This is the unspoken reality of those who defend Nigeria. The footage tells a story beyond words the sheer grit, the sacrifice, and the undying patriotism of troops who face death daily so that others can live in peace. Today, we honor Lt. Col. Alari and the fallen warriors who stood their ground in the Timbuktu Triangle. Their legacy is carved in the history of Nigeria’s fight against terrorism. a legacy of courage, honor, and sacrifice. They may be gone, but their heroism will forever inspire generations to come. Rest in power, our fallen heroes. Your fight was not in vain. @DefenceInfoNG fone

John Mearsheimer on October 7: “It’s consistent with international law for Hamas to want to break out of the concentration camp and engage with Israeli military forces in combat, which means they’re going to kill some of them. So the fact that they killed Israeli soldiers is not a case of murder. Now, there were clearly Israeli civilians who were murdered as well, but I would be willing to bet, in the final analysis, however, that Hamas did not murder many of those Israeli civilians. But be that as it may, whoever murdered those civilians committed a war crime. But I think most of the Israelis who were killed were either soldiers, who were legitimate targets, or they were civilians who were killed by the Israeli forces. I think you cannot underestimate how many Israelis were killed when all that [Israeli] firepower was brought to bear. And if you look at the pictures and you listen to what happened, it’s clear that those Apache helicopters really wreaked havoc on everything that was down on the ground, and of course that included Israeli civilians. [...] What’s also quite stunning about this whole issue is that no one talks about why there was a breakout. Nobody talks about the fact that this was a concentration camp and what was being done to the Palestinians was abhorrent. And of course there was going to be a breakout from that concentration camp at some point. [...] This is not to excuse the murder of civilians that took place at the hands of Palestinians, but the more you look in detail about what happened, the clearer it becomes that Israel bears a great deal of the responsibility for what happened that day”.

Reza Pahlavi, for all intents and purposes, does not owe us anything. His family built Iran from zero. When I say zero, I mean zero. A weak, fragmented Qajar state, one in which women could not leave the house without a man. One in which Iran’s internal affairs were completely controlled by outsiders. One in which foreign armies seized our lands to feed their troops while half our population died of famine. A country without an army, without national infrastructure, without sovereignty over its own resources. And I can go on, and on, and on. In return, we Iranians repaid their blood, sweat, and tears with one of the greatest treacheries imaginable in modern history. His grandfather, arguably one of the greatest men in Iran’s history, his tomb was levelled to the ground. His father was forced to leave the country he loved more than anything in the world. One could say it was not his illness that killed him, but the knife we put in his back, the betrayal of a nation he had dedicated his life to. Reza Pahlavi’s friends and family who remained in Iran were murdered, one by one, at the hands of the regime WE enabled. An entire generation around him was hunted, imprisoned, executed, or driven into exile. His sister and brother, unable to bear the weight of exile and the destruction of everything they had known, took their own lives. Reza Pahlavi has the money. He could have chosen a quiet life, a life of comfort and distance, far from the insults, the threats, the endless character assassination. Instead of spending more than four decades on this path, he could have lived for himself and his family, free of this burden. Instead, he chose responsibility. He chose to stand for the very people who betrayed his family and became the cause of so much suffering in his life. What does he ask in return? Nothing. No throne has been demanded. No position imposed. He has asked only for a national process in which the Iranian people themselves decide their future. He has anchored that path in clear principles, precisely to prevent Iran from falling once again into chaos, fragmentation, and revenge. Yet even for that, he is criticised by so-called “Iran expert” podcasters who have never carried the weight of a nation on their shoulders, who say, “He does not want to lead,” “He is not your guy.” All while he and his family live under constant attacks, threats, and scrutiny on a daily basis. Despite all of that, his love for his people and his land overrides everything. He continues to fight for us. I want to say we have done nothing to deserve it, but the people of Iran have proven otherwise in these past weeks. They are no longer blinded by decades of propaganda. They are revisiting their history. They are correcting the lies they were raised with. They are openly calling his name in the streets, knowing the price that must be paid for it. They are awake to the mistakes of past generations, and they have reached out their hand to him. And he, despite everything, has taken that hand.

With God, be not afraid of evil. . The world whispers of evil’s power. It boasts of darkness as though it were unconquerable. It tells you to bow before it, to tremble in its shadow. But I tell you this—evil is a coward in the presence of God. It roars like a lion, but it is chained by the Almighty. It may touch the body, but it cannot seize the soul that belongs to Him. It may wound, but it cannot destroy. It may deceive, but it cannot overcome the truth of the One who holds all victory in His hands. . Did not David, a mere shepherd boy, stand unafraid before the giant Goliath? The enemy towered over him, armored in steel, his voice a weapon of fear. But David stood not in the strength of men. He stood with God. And with a single stone, the enemy fell, not because of David’s might, but because of God’s power. . And what of Daniel? Thrown into the den of lions for his faithfulness, the jaws of death gnashed before him. But Daniel was not afraid, for he knelt before the God who shuts the mouths of beasts. And by morning, the lions were silent, their hunger quenched not by his flesh but by the glory of the Lord. . Even our Lord Jesus Christ walked into the very clutches of evil, unflinching. Betrayed, beaten, mocked and crucified, He faced the full force of darkness, and yet He overcame it—not by might, but by surrender to the will of the Father. He bore the cross and in doing so, He shattered the power of sin and death. Tell me, who then shall we fear? #ChristIsKing #WeAreTheStorm

Russia’s deranged Zakharova urges the “responsible governments”, “those who try to become civilised’, to change sides, to switch to the “light and goodness”, as many did during WWII, because “those who did not were brought to tribunals”. “The window of opportunity is still open.” she said. “Once again, we call on the responsible governments and international organisations not to stand by, but to condemn these heinous acts of terrorism [the so-called terrorist attack on Belgorod and IL-76 attack]. Let me be frank and realistic about this situation. This is a window of opportunity for those who consider themselves civilised or try to become civilised. It is closing. It may sound cynical, but it is the truth. As you may be aware, many were initially supportive of the Third Reich during WWII. Not everyone immediately joined the ranks of anti-fascists. Even when they did, everyone had their rationale: some developed a conscience; others suddenly realised what was really happening; still others saw that the Soviet Union was winning the war. Those who switched to the side of “light and goodness” before the end of WWII got the status of respected states and communities for decades. Those who did not were brought to tribunals and were literally put in the pillory for decades. The window of opportunity is still open. Individuals, public figures, and organisations around the world are starting to ask themselves, “Who and what is keeping us on the side of evil and darkness?” The answer is clear. Many are harassed and blackmailed into staying on the dark side of history. The understanding of what is happening is rolling across the world.” she said.

Norway is more than a nation, it is thousands of years of heritage, genes and tradition. Norway is a land carved by ice, guarded by mountains, embraced by the sea. For thousands of years, men and women have endured here, shaping their lives in rhythm with nature, and passing on their strength through blood, tradition and memory. Before the Vikings sailed into the chronicles of the world, people lived here as hunters and gatherers, fishers and farmers. When the glaciers released their grip, the first footsteps followed the reindeer herds across the raw and untamed land. From the beginning, survival was built on reverence for what the earth and sea provided. Then came the time of farms and villages. Generations learned to till the soil, to tame animals, to forge communities founded on loyalty, honour and kinship - and with them rose the myths of Odin, Thor, Freya, of gods mirroring the storms, the harvest and the fire in human hearts. The Viking Age carried Norway’s name far beyond its fjords. From 800 to 1050, the ocean became our road, our battlefield, our lifeline. Vikings were more than raiders: they were builders, explorers, craftsmen, women and men who sought honor, land and destiny. They left runes not only in stone, but in the very memory of nations, reaching from the rivers of Russia to the shores of Vinland. With the end of the Viking Age, Norway entered a new chapter – gathered under one crown, baptized into Christendom, bound closer to Europe. Yet the old spirits never vanished. They lived on in stave churches carved like sacred forests, in folk songs echoing through valleys, in tales of trolls, spirits, and the unseen. Our traditions, the bunad, the crafts, the music, all carry whispers of the ancient soul of Norway. And always, alongside this, the Sámi people. Europe’s firstborn nation of the North. Their reindeer herds, their joik, their languages, their spiritual bond with earth and sky – they are not a footnote, but a living root of this land. Their story, too, is Norway’s story. Our genes are memory. Each generation inherits the trials and triumphs of those before, and adds their own to the great chain. We are descendants of hunters who braved the ice, of farmers who cleared fields from stone, of seafarers who crossed oceans, of Sámi who lived with the tundra and its silence. Norway is not merely a state upon a map. Norway is a legacy of endurance. A pattern etched into soil, blood and spirit. A people who have withstood storms, wars, hunger, and darkness – and who, every time, rise again. Norway is our DNA.

We must not forget the horrific moments from October 7th, the moments Omer Wenkert was abducted into Gaza. Omer realized the immensity of the attack on the Nova Music Festival at 7 a.m., half an hour after the sirens and missiles started. Niva, his mother, recounts those moments: “He texted us ‘it’s as scary as hell, rockets over our heads… they are shooting in here, mom’. His last message was at 7:50a.m. ‘I’m scared to death’”. It’s impossible to imagine the chaos and hell in the shelter at Re’im, where Omer was hiding. The terrorists threw 8 grenades into the shelter, and at some point, burnt something at the entrance to choke whoever was still alive in it. The few people, who survived the attack at that point, tried to run out for fresh air, and were shot. Omer was one of them. He couldn’t take the heavy smoke. Once he came out, he was abducted. At 11:11a.m Hamas posted a video of Omer’s abduction on social media, and a photo of him. His hands and legs tied, wearing only his underpants at a back of a pickup truck, surrounded by terrorists screaming and waving AK-47 riffles, shoving him from side to side. Liam Or, who was released on the previous deal, and was held captive with Omer in Gaza, told his family about their captivity. Omer’s mom shared: “We know that once they entered Gaza, Omer was ‘showcased’ around the city. He called it ‘a show off tour’”. Liam also said that when he met with Omer at the tunnel, Omer asked him – ‘Do you think they’ll kill us?’ Their physical conditions were extremely rough. Most of the time they slept on nylons surrounded by sand. They used a bucket as their toilet and had no shower. On the first 54 days they washed themselves twice, each time with a single bottle of salty sea water. They ate 3 dates a day and sometimes only a small piece of pitta bread. Most of the time, the only light was fluorescent , and there were many power failures and they had to sit in the dark. " Omer Wenkert, 23, is held hostage in Gaza for nearly a year. We must not forget Omer and all the hostages who are still held captive in Gaza. We must bring them all home, Now!
