According to Telangana Congress Govt survey there are 0 Christians in the state. That’s officially recorded. So where did all these Xistians come from? Does this mean, All these people identified themselves as Hindus? This is how much difference there is between official records and the reality. Forever there will be only 2% Xistian population, officially, but in reality, they are already 25% in AP/TG What kind of cult is this - can’t even freely record themselves as who they are? No courage to call themselves who they are. Everything about them and their cult is a Lie/deceit/mischief/false/fake

🇩🇪🔴Germans marched in Dresden to honor victims of migrant violence, with nearly everyone on the list below having died at the hands of a foreign national. Known as the "Mourning Vigil Germany," marchers held photos of their deceased loved ones. At the front of the vigil was Michael Kyrath, who lost his 17-year-old daughter Ann-Marie to an illegal Palestinian migrant who killed her with 38 stab wounds on a regional train. He also murdered Danny, her boyfriend. These are just some of the victims – some of whom were also foreigners – who have lost their lives since 2015, primarily through stabbings and extreme acts of violence. Attendees say these victims will never be forgotten. Their names serve as a memorial: André (9), Magdeburg 2024 Mia (15), Kandel 2017 Danny (19), Brokstedt 2023 Liana (16), Friedland 2015 Rouven (29), Mannheim 2024 Melanie (30), Berlin 2018 Leo (8), Frankfurt 2019 Farimah (38), Prien 2017 Daniel (35), Chemnitz 2018 Alina (21), Garmisch-Partenkirchen 2022 Stefanie (24), Würzburg 2021 Johanna (82), Würzburg 2021 Wilhelm (36), Stuttgart 2019 Jacqueline (21), Hamburg 2015 Malak (17), Menden 2024 Florian (56), Solingen 2024 Daniel (35), Dresden 2017 Ines (56), Solingen 2024 Kai-Uwe (41), Aschaffenburg 2025 Yannis (2), Aschaffenburg 2025 Thu (41), Dresden 2017 Else (52), Magdeburg 2024 Jutta (67), Magdeburg 2024 Rita (75), Magdeburg 2024 Birgit (52), Magdeburg 2024 Nada (34), Berlin 2016 Sebastian (32), Berlin 2016 Klaus (65), Berlin 2016 Peter (72), Berlin 2016 Georgiy (44), Berlin 2016 Dorit (53), Berlin 2016 Joachim (51), Offenburg 2018 Maria (19), Freiburg 2016 Victor (16), Hamburg 2016 Angelika (65), Berlin 2016 Christoph (40), Berlin 2016 Sharam (31), Ibbenbüren 2020 Dietrich (85), Wittenburg 2018 Anna (44), Berlin 2016 Manfred (59), München 2025 Christoph (24), Beelitz 2025 Hafsa (2), München 2025 Berthold (77), Freiburg 2024 Bobby (29), Berlin 2025 Amel (37), München 2025 Mireille (17), Flensburg 2018 Soopika (22), Ahaus 2017 Juliana (30), Viersen 2018 Gerda (82), Cottbus 2016 Hanna (22), Leverkusen 2020 Markus (22), Köthen 2018 Victoria (20), Hamburg 2021 Jana (36), Preetz 2019 Gerhard (85), Pulheim 2023 Musaab (30), Saarbrücken 2017 Bianca (28), Frankfurt 2023 Cynthia (21), Worms 2019 Mustafa (49), Berlin 2023 Thomas (55), Dresden 2020 Ahmed (61), Sarstedt 2024 Abdul (20), Mönchengladbach 2025 Mezgin (16), Aschaffenburg 2017 Maris (84), Berlin 2018 Martin (30), Paderborn 2024 Asal (18), Hamburg 2026 Mohamad (37), Primsweiler 2024 Youssef (27), Aue 2024 Lica (33), Regensburg 2017 Mohamed (26), Berlin 2024 Kristin (40), Arnstadt 2020 Liane (39), Berlin 2018 Julia (35), Berlin 2016

Dear ED NIA India गृहमंत्री कार्यालय, HMO India I am writing to bring to your urgent attention about serious financial irregularities, suspected benami dealings, and systematic FCRA violations involving Sodadasi Praveen Chakravarty and his network of linked NGOs and firms in Andhra Pradesh. The following FCRA-registered associations are under his control: Sylom Blind Centre (Darpan ID: AP/2017/0157272 – FCRA No. 010170248) Action in Distress (Darpan ID: TS/2021/0279097 – FCRA No. 010230131) Janavikas (Darpan ID: AP/2020/0256040 – FCRA No. 010340029) Janavikas Samastha (Darpan ID: AP/2018/0219228 – FCRA No. 010120093) Key Allegations Religious Conversions & Anti-Hindu Remarks (2021): During a controversy in Kakinada, Praveen faced allegations of conducting conversions. A viral video showed him boasting about destroying Hindu temples.Following this, CID and other agencies placed Sylom NGO under surveillance. Purchase & Misuse of NGOs: To escape scrutiny, Praveen purchased multiple pre-approved FCRA NGOs and replaced their trustees with his own benami individuals. Example: Action in Distress (purchased in 2021) had its original trustees are replaced by his Benamis, who are used for diversion of funds. Foreign Funding Misuse: Since then, he has systematically diverted foreign donations through these NGOs, fabricating social welfare projects while using the funds for religious conversions and personal luxury. Recent posts on social media confirm that foreign donors have been visiting India under the direct hosting of Praveen Chakravarty, which clearly indicates ongoing foreign funding activity and possible misuse under FCRA provisions. (Link attached) Role of Family Members: While Praveen runs KTC school, His sister Sowmya Sumalatha runs New Mother Teresa School.Tribal children are presented as “orphans” to foreign donors for sponsorship funds, while simultaneously collecting fees from parents — creating unaccounted black money. (Link attached) Pattern Similar to Previous Cases: This modus operandi closely resembles the 2020 case where Gospel for Tribals Social Service, after FCRA violations, rebranded itself as Grace Service Society. The pattern is strikingly similar to the ongoing issues you have already flagged regarding Rural Development Trust, Rayalaseema Development Trust, Accion Fraternal Trust, and Woman’s Development Trust, where suspected benami dealings, systematic FCRA violations, and financial irregularities were highlighted, demanding an ED probe. Praveen Chakravarty’s case appears to be another large-scale, organized misuse of FCRA in Andhra Pradesh. Why This Matters Large-scale money laundering and black money generation. Exploitation of tribal children under the guise of education and welfare. Religious conversions disguised as social work. Systematic misuse of FCRA approvals by acquiring multiple NGOs. Request Legal Rights Protection Forum to: Highlight this matter for public awareness. Urge the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and MHA (FCRA Division) to launch a probe into Praveen Chakravarty and the above-mentioned NGOs. Connect this with similar precedents (e.g., Gospel for Tribals Social Service case) to show the ongoing pattern of FCRA misuse in Andhra Pradesh. We believe your intervention will help expose these violations and safeguard both national security and the rights of vulnerable Hindu communities. Sincerely, Anonymous Well-wisher

PHONE TAPPING CASE: THE ORIGINS Telangana politics are currently revolving around a bunch of scams including the Naini Coal Block Singareni scam of the Congress leaders and SIT enquiries of BRS leaders in the alleged phone tapping case. But what started this? Yes - the Naini Coal Block scam probably caused the current set of SIT enquiries. But what is the origin story of the whole “Phone Tapping Scandal”? Well, we have to go way back into history where after bifurcation, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh shared the common capital - Hyderabad. And current chief minister of Telangana Revanth Reddy was a not so known TDP MLA. On a 31st May 2015, Congress leader Revanth Reddy, then with the Telugu Desam Party, was apprehended by the ACB with a cash bag of Rs 50 lakh, a bribe to Elvis Stephenson, a nominated MLA, for supporting TDP nominee Vem Narendar Reddy in the Telangana legislative council elections. Everything was caught on camera. A voice recording allegedly that of AP CM Chandrababu Naidu was also released to the media along with the camera footage of the whole cash transaction. The then TDP MLA Revanth Reddy was arrested. He was later released on bail for his daughter’s wedding with a condition that he doesn’t speak at all during the wedding. The case resulted in AP CM Chandrababu Naidu temporarily moving to Vijayawada and starting the grand plans for Amaravathi. Though Hyderabad was a common capital for 10 years, the government decided to shift because the TDP government didn’t feel Hyderabad is “safe” anymore. The Cash for Votes scam also was very efficiently used by Revanth Reddy who was never even a minister until then to become a prominent leader. He catapulted himself into “only leader who can fight KCR” and in less than 10 years became the CM of Telangana. Was Revanth Reddy really a fighter or a perpetrator in the Cash for Vote scam (though the video is clear) needs to be decided by the honourable courts, someday. The case still is in the court. Now, after about 8 years of this scam, Revanth Reddy returns as the CM. He is not just powerful but angry too. He wants redemption for the humiliation of being caught with bag of cash and the subsequent prison time. That is how the current Phone Tapping Case came into existence. ✔️How did the KCR government manage to know of the deal? ✔️How did they get the video proofs? ✔️How did they get the audiotapes? Because they were listening to the calls??!! Revanth managed to weave a nice spicy narrative over years accusing KTR of listening to private calls of actresses in Tollywood. People love drama, especially that involves a scandal. TRS/BRS leaders never bothered to refute these claims strongly because they felt Revanth is too small for their attention. They were happy for saving the government from collapsing just one year of formation of a separate state. These rumours and salacious stories spread far and wide. Of course the current government won’t say Vote for Note case is the reason for Phone Tapping. The allegation is that BRS government was illegally listening into private phone conversations of about 1200 people including businessmen, politicians, journalists and even actresses. Both Vote for Note and Phone Tapping cases will come to a legal conclusion probably someday in the far future. But for now, the politics revolve around this. PS: The epic animosity between BRS supremo KCR and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu is at the crux of this. KCR wants to protect interests of Telangana while CBN claims he is the original architect and Andhras are the investors of Hyderabad. Now Revanth is still the honest, dedicated student of Chandrababu Naidu making the entire political situation very murky! VC: From the archives

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC Reporting Window: 3/22 to 3/23 • Iran fired additional cluster munition barrages into central Israel, with damage reported in Holon, Bat Yam, Or Yehuda, Safed, and the Jerusalem area, while another overnight launch triggered alerts in the Jerusalem corridor and south. • Israel widened its Lebanon campaign by destroying the Qasmiya bridge over the Litani and accelerating demolitions of homes and crossings in frontline villages. Reuters and AP both treated that as a major escalation. • Overnight strikes hit Tehran and a wider arc of Iranian military infrastructure, with your wire tracking blasts in east and northeast Tehran, Karaj, Yazd, Khorramabad, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and near Parchin, while the IDF publicly announced a broad wave of strikes on regime infrastructure in Tehran. • The Hormuz front remained the strategic center of gravity, but AP reported that Trump extended his deadline by five days rather than moving immediately to strike Iranian power plants. Iran simultaneously threatened Gulf power and water infrastructure if attacked. The last 24 hours were more concrete than conceptual. The most important story was not a new grand theory of the war. It was a set of specific events that showed how the conflict is now functioning day to day. Iran kept using cluster style ballistic attacks to create wider damage zones inside Israel. Israel moved from hitting Hezbollah targets to physically reshaping southern Lebanon. And inside Iran, the strike map widened again overnight with visible pressure on Tehran, missile infrastructure, coastal nodes, and internal security sites. At the same time, the anticipated U.S. move on Iranian power plants did not happen yet, which makes the immediate next window as important as the one just completed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 IRANIAN MISSILE ATTACKS ON ISRAEL Iran continued missile launches into Israel, but the operational detail that matters is how these attacks are being configured. Times of Israel live coverage reported fresh damage in central Israel from cluster munitions or fragments, while Jerusalem Post live coverage tracked shrapnel and fragment strikes in central Israel and additional impacts farther north. Ynet also highlighted two lightly wounded in Bat Yam and a partly collapsed building in Holon from the same general wave pattern. That matters because the attacks are no longer just about how many missiles Iran can fire. They are about how much disruption each missile can create. A single cluster warhead can turn one penetration or one imperfect interception into several impact points. Your wire also tracked this in real time, including central Israel damage and a later overnight launch that sent alerts toward Jerusalem and the south. One specific point worth noting is that today’s Israeli home front story was not dominated by mass casualties. It was dominated by repeated local damage events, scattered fragments, and shelter disruptions. That makes the attacks feel smaller than earlier war barrages, but not less operationally relevant. They are being used to sustain pressure while Iran’s launcher network remains under strain. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇱🇧 LEBANON: ISRAEL MOVED FROM STRIKES TO TERRAIN DENIAL The biggest concrete change on the northern front was Israel’s continued move toward physical denial of Hezbollah movement rather than just attritional fire. Reuters reported that Israel struck the main bridge on the southern Lebanese coastal highway and ordered the destruction of homes near the border and bridges over the Litani River. AP reported the same bridge strike and framed Katz’s order to include all Litani crossings as a meaningful broadening of the target set. That means the Lebanon front is no longer just a story of rockets and retaliatory airstrikes. Israel is trying to reengineer the battlespace itself. Destroying crossings, flattening frontline structures, and reducing usable approach routes all point to the same objective: make it harder for Hezbollah to return south in meaningful strength even if the current phase of fighting slows. Reuters explicitly described Lebanese criticism that these measures look like pre invasion preparation and collective punishment. There was also an important corrective detail today. Times of Israel and Ynet both reported that the farmer killed near Misgav Am was not killed by Hezbollah fire after all, but by errant Israeli artillery shelling intended to support troops in southern Lebanon. That matters because it changes the factual record of one of yesterday’s most emotionally resonant northern incidents. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✈️ STRATEGIC AIR CAMPAIGN OVER IRAN Open source intelligence reported explosions and reported hits in east and northeast Tehran (shown in attached video), Hakimieh, Lavizan, Tehranpars, near the Parchin mountains, Karaj and Fardis, Khorramabad, Yazd, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and other sites. The IDF later publicly announced that it had launched a broad wave of strikes on regime infrastructure in Tehran. Mainstream coverage supported the broader pattern even where every individual site was not independently confirmed one by one. AP’s live coverage described explosions in Tehran and widening Israeli activity, while Times of Israel’s liveblog tracked the announced broad strike wave in Tehran. The strike set also appears to have remained mixed. This was not just about launchers. Open source reporting referenced possible targeted assassinations in Khorramabad and Tehran, missile site damage in Yazd, busier strike activity around coastal and port areas like Bandar Abbas and Bandar Deyr, and pressure near Parchin. Even where some of those claims remain open source rather than fully confirmed by Reuters or AP, the overall pattern is clear: the campaign remains broad, multi city, and focused on degrading the regime’s ability to keep fighting, not merely blunting the next launch. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 GULF FRONT: STRIKES, INTERCEPTIONS, AND INFRASTRUCTURE THREATS The Gulf front stayed active, but the most important part of today’s story was not one giant headline strike. It was the persistence of Iranian pressure and the hardening response from Gulf states. AP reported that Iran threatened to mine the Persian Gulf and target regional energy infrastructure as Trump’s deadline neared. Reuters reported that Iran threatened to hit Gulf power plants and the systems powering U.S. bases if Iranian power infrastructure were attacked. Open source intel tracked the practical side of that pressure in real time. It logged interceptions and alerts in Bahrain, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, including reported UAV interceptions in eastern Saudi Arabia, missile and drone interceptions by the UAE, and multiple reports of explosions or sirens in Bahrain. Those details are useful because they show the Gulf story is still not abstract diplomatic signaling. Air defenses are still being used. Another development worth mentioning is market stress. Reuters’ earlier energy reporting remains relevant here because Gulf attacks have already damaged major oil and gas facilities in several states, and the International Energy Agency chief warned that the current situation is worse than the oil crises of the 1970s. Your wire separately tracked comments from Fatih Birol about reserve releases and Hormuz as the key pressure point. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ HORMUZ: THE BIG DECISION DID NOT HAPPEN YET This was probably the single most important strategic update of the day. The expected U.S. strike on Iranian power plants did not occur in this reporting window. Instead, AP reported that Trump extended the deadline by five days, temporarily holding off on those strikes. That is a real development, because it changes the immediate pacing of the war and means the next reporting window matters more than expected. That does not mean the Hormuz crisis eased. Quite the opposite. Reuters reported that Iran threatened retaliation against Gulf power and water infrastructure and warned it could mine all Gulf shipping lanes if attacked. AP similarly reported threats against electrical plants and broader Gulf systems. So the practical reality is that the strategic center of gravity remains Hormuz, but the execution timeline shifted. This also helps explain why this report feels operationally busy but strategically suspended. Lots happened. But the one action that could have forced a dramatic phase change was deferred. That makes the present moment feel less like de escalation and more like a pause before a possible infrastructure war phase. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW First, today’s report is really about concrete battlefield mechanics, not broad narrative drift. Iran kept using cluster style missile attacks to widen disruption inside Israel even without restoring early war salvo size. Second, Israel’s Lebanon campaign moved another step away from reactive fire and toward deliberate terrain denial. The destruction of the Qasmiya bridge and orders to strike Litani crossings are specific, visible evidence of that shift. Third, the Tehran centered air campaign remained expansive and geographically wide overnight, and open source reporting was useful here in showing how broad the strike footprint was beyond the handful of locations that got top billing in mainstream coverage. Fourth, the most dramatic expected U.S. move did not happen yet. Trump extended the deadline, which means the next 24 hours are now more consequential than the last ones. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ END OF REPORT

🚨HOLY SH*T! If Democrats lose CNN, then you know we’re in trouble. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria TORCHES NYC and other Democrat-led cities over failed policies and astronomical spending, promising everything while wasting billions of taxpayers’ dollars and dodging accountability. “Zohran Mamdani ran on a promise to make New York affordable — a mandate for a city we can afford. Last week, he unveiled a budget that is, in a word, UNAFFORDABLE. NYC’s budget has ballooned in recent years. Michael Bloomberg’s last budget, adopted for fiscal year 2014, totaled about $70 billion. With population decline, New York’s general spending in 2023 was more than 30% higher per capita than Los Angeles and more than double Houston’s. NYC’s largest school district in the country — the city’s education budget — has climbed while enrollment has shrunk. The DOE budget has risen from roughly $34 billion in 2019 to over $40 billion, while the DOE says per-student spending is projected to reach nearly $35,000 in fiscal year 2026, among the highest in the nation. The outputs — graduation numbers, test scores, and reading levels — are, at best, middling, often comparable to places that spend a fraction of what New York does. New York already sits at the extreme end of the American tax spectrum. For high earners, the combined state-plus-city income tax reaches 14.76%, and the combined marginal rate can reach roughly 55% on certain investment income. New Yorkers pay tax rates comparable to European countries that, in return, provide universal healthcare, free college education, and outstanding infrastructure. New Yorkers get some 300 miles of sidewalk sheds. On business taxation, the city is also off the charts: the Citizens Budget Commission reports that New York City business activity faces the country’s highest combined corporate tax rate, 70.44%. Mamdani wants to hike income and corporate rates even further — or else, he says, he will raise property taxes by almost 10%. Property taxes already made up more than 27% of the cost of homeownership in the city as of 2022, above the national average. New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront: blue cities are out of control — promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day. Los Angeles is another one-party metropolis wrestling with affordability and disorder. The city’s homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025–2026 totals about $950 million. The LA Homeless Services Authority reported that in 2023 homelessness was up 9% countywide and 10% in the city, and a 2024 AP account noted that homelessness has surged 70% countywide since 2015 and 8% in the city — all this amid public frustration despite billions spent. An audit reviewed $2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that officials could not reliably track where it went, what it achieved, or take Chicago, with a mayor whose approval rating is deep underwater, where the pension promises are so large that they will surely bankrupt the city at some point. What is the theory of good government here? If the answer is “keep adding programs,” the city will keep producing unaffordability — because unaffordability is what happens when government becomes a machine that grows faster than the society it governs. NYC’s rental assistance spending rose from $263 million in fiscal year 2020 to $1.3 billion in the most recently reported fiscal year — a fivefold increase in a handful of years — and housing costs only got worse. For Democrats in city halls, there is a choice: stop governing as if the goal is to announce new entitlements, and instead make government work — safer streets, functioning schools, predictable sanitation, and, above all, enough housing that the middle class can find places to live. New York City does not need more soaring rhetoric; it needs more homes.”

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria TORCHES NYC and other Democrat-led cities over failed policies and astronomical spending, promising everything while wasting billions of taxpayers’ dollars and dodging accountability. “Zohran Mamdani ran on a promise to make New York affordable — a mandate for a city we can afford. Last week, he unveiled a budget that is, in a word, UNAFFORDABLE. NYC’s budget has ballooned in recent years. Michael Bloomberg’s last budget, adopted for fiscal year 2014, totaled about $70 billion. With population decline, New York’s general spending in 2023 was more than 30% higher per capita than Los Angeles and more than double Houston’s. NYC’s largest school district in the country — the city’s education budget — has climbed while enrollment has shrunk. The DOE budget has risen from roughly $34 billion in 2019 to over $40 billion, while the DOE says per-student spending is projected to reach nearly $35,000 in fiscal year 2026, among the highest in the nation. The outputs — graduation numbers, test scores, and reading levels — are, at best, middling, often comparable to places that spend a fraction of what New York does. New York already sits at the extreme end of the American tax spectrum. For high earners, the combined state-plus-city income tax reaches 14.76%, and the combined marginal rate can reach roughly 55% on certain investment income. New Yorkers pay tax rates comparable to European countries that, in return, provide universal healthcare, free college education, and outstanding infrastructure. New Yorkers get some 300 miles of sidewalk sheds. On business taxation, the city is also off the charts: the Citizens Budget Commission reports that New York City business activity faces the country’s highest combined corporate tax rate, 70.44%. Mamdani wants to hike income and corporate rates even further — or else, he says, he will raise property taxes by almost 10%. Property taxes already made up more than 27% of the cost of homeownership in the city as of 2022, above the national average. New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront: blue cities are out of control — promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day. Los Angeles is another one-party metropolis wrestling with affordability and disorder. The city’s homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025–2026 totals about $950 million. The LA Homeless Services Authority reported that in 2023 homelessness was up 9% countywide and 10% in the city, and a 2024 AP account noted that homelessness has surged 70% countywide since 2015 and 8% in the city — all this amid public frustration despite billions spent. An audit reviewed $2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that officials could not reliably track where it went, what it achieved, or take Chicago, with a mayor whose approval rating is deep underwater, where the pension promises are so large that they will surely bankrupt the city at some point. What is the theory of good government here? If the answer is “keep adding programs,” the city will keep producing unaffordability — because unaffordability is what happens when government becomes a machine that grows faster than the society it governs. NYC’s rental assistance spending rose from $263 million in fiscal year 2020 to $1.3 billion in the most recently reported fiscal year — a fivefold increase in a handful of years — and housing costs only got worse. For Democrats in city halls, there is a choice: stop governing as if the goal is to announce new entitlements, and instead make government work — safer streets, functioning schools, predictable sanitation, and, above all, enough housing that the middle class can find places to live. New York City does not need more soaring rhetoric; it needs more homes.”

Patch 0.12.3 - "Blades of Ezochi" is now released! Patch 0.12.3 is a minor update patch that includes 3 new classes, some rules updates and a lot of changes to classes. Earthcleaving and Searing Lotus style are two elemental style sword classes, one of which is an anti-tank and the other a tank. Another paladin has also been added with gun paladin. A lot of classes have seen some key abilities redesigned or changed. Some of these such as backlash were too easy to use and lacked counterplay, while other such as defensive flexibility were resourceless defenses that warped the game around having them or not having them. Some other less used abilities have gotten some number buffs to make them less clunky to use. For the basic rules, precise attacks now have pinpoint by default to make them a better option against dodgy targets who often would still have enough guard to negate most of the damage.

A medieval woman walks out of her marriage with half of everything. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 And the law is on her side. This is Wales, over 1,000 years ago.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The Welsh called it Cyfraith Hywel. The Law of Hywel. It carries the name of Hywel ap Cadell, the king Wales still calls Hywel the Good, who came to rule more of Wales than any king before him. The story the old law books tell: around 945 he summoned lawmen from every corner of Wales to a white hall on the river Taf, and there the laws of the Welsh were set in order. ⚖️ Open that book and a different Middle Ages looks back. An insult had a price in silver: sarhaed. And a woman held her price in her own name. A husband who struck his wife without cause paid for the blow, to her and no one else. Marriage was an agreement between 2 people. If a husband strayed, the law made him pay his wife, 120 silver pence the first time, a pound the second. A third time, and she could walk away. After 7 years of marriage, the law counted everything a couple owned as shared, and if it ended, she took her half and went. By right. Children born outside marriage, acknowledged by the father, inherited like any other. The father's sin, said the law, must not be held against the son. And when blood was spilled, this law refused the feud. Galanas: the killer's kindred paid the life's worth to the family wronged, and once it was paid, the vengeance was over. By law. Across the border, a wife's property passed to her husband. For centuries yet. ⚔️ Then Edward the First broke the Welsh princes, and in 1284 the Statute of Rhuddlan swept the criminal law aside. But in the farms and the families, Hywel's law held on, for another 250 years. Then the Acts of Union under Henry VIII outlawed it altogether. English law became the only law in Wales, and English the only tongue its courts could speak. 📜 After nearly 600 years, the Law of Hywel was closed. But a parliament can close a book. Not a memory. Around 80 of the old law books survive, copied hand to hand, the oldest made 300 years after Hywel died and still carrying his name. Today that name stands over hospitals across west Wales. 🏛️ Britain remembers most of its kings for their wars. Wales remembers this one for his fairness. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A woman's worth was written into law on these islands over 1,000 years ago. The Acts closed the book. The idea reached you anyway. We are the home of British heroes. There is a place for you in it. 👇🙏 👉 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

🚨🚨🚨A Stark Warning 🚨🚨🚨 🚨Europe is losing its mind. 🚨Where are we going up against a nuclear power? 🚨Russia could wipe us out in a matter of minutes, they could wipe out all of Europe. 🚨Does anyone think that if Russia is massively attacked within its territory, it will just sit back and do nothing? Obviously not. So, what are we trying to achieve? That they'll get really tired and launch two or three, nuclear bombs on some of the main European capitals? Pedro Baños Retired Spanish Army Colonel: 📑 That Mrs. von der Leyen is going to give Ukraine another 3.3 BILLONES euros another because she says that everything Ukraine has already received isn't enough, right? Because she says that everything Ukraine has already received isn't enough, right? 0:08 Exactly, the problem is that they've made a huge bet on Ukraine, and it has gone badly for them 0:09 a huge bet on Ukraine, and it has gone badly for them 0:12 and now, how do they backtrack, 0:13 how do they admit that this has been a mistake 0:14 from the very start, that they've led an entire people to destruction, 0:17 that they've led an entire people to destruction, 0:18 that already two generations of Ukrainians have died, 0:20 those who haven't fled the country, 0:22 which is a total disaster. 0:23 We only have the casualty exchange numbers between Russia and Ukraine, 0:27 between Russia and Ukraine, and the figures are staggering. 0:30 We can provide them later, right? 0:32 But what's going on? 0:34 As you said, that increase ... 0:36 look, in Spain's case, 0:37 it means multiplying the Defence budget by five, 0:41 Because of course, since the United States first asked for 2%. 0:44 Since we agreed, they said, "Hey, then 3.5%.." 0:47 Since we also agreed, they said, "Well, 5%." 0:49 These people are fools, so let's go, let's ask them for more, right? 0:52 In the end, they are going to buy almost everything from me, 0:54 which I really need. 0:55 But what is the problem, Ambassador? 0:56 When you manufacture weapons, 0:59 there is only one way for that system not to fail you, 1:02 and that is to use the weapons you've produced. 1:05 Because look, 1:06 you manufacture—imagine, it's true, there was a deficit here, 1:08 for example, of artillery shells, 1:10 one hundred fifty-five, or shells for, 1:12 cannons, or, or, or tank shells. 1:15 Fine, that's all well and good, whatever we want. 1:17 You've already produced that one million, five million shells. 1:21 And once you've produced them, what do you do? 1:22 That factory you set up with public money, with subsidies, do you shut it down? 1:28 Or you have the other option, 1:30 which is to go to war to use up that ammunition 1:32 and keep producing more. 1:33 And as it happens, in Europe, 1:35 especially in the main countries, 1:37 the economy is a total mess, 1:39 it's in free fall, 1:43 they desperately need, 1:45 as they can no longer make cars, like in Germany, 1:48 to start making tanks or ammunition instead. 1:51 But France is in the same situation. 1:52 A France that has been expelled from Africa, 1:56 where what the franc meant for them, the CFA. 2:00 And not only that, but also all the resources 2:02 they extracted under more than favorable conditions from these countries, 2:06 starting with uranium from Niger, 2:08 they've run out of it. 2:09 France is having a very hard time, 2:11 with an absolutely brutal social crisis. 2:15 And now we see all this coming together 2:16 with skyrocketing energy prices, 2:19 we can already see that the price of fuels 2:21 in Germany has already surpassed 2.5 euro— 2:24 euros per liter, which is truly outrageous. 2:27 We're talking about, and we saw the news, 2:29 that filling a standard tank 2:32 of an average vehicle now means 200 euros, 2:35 200 euros, which is absolutely insane. 2:38 And what does that mean? 2:39 That they only have one solution, indeed, 2:42 which is to go to war. 2:43 And remember there's something that, 2:45 we studied it in the Command and Staff course 2:47 and when you tell people about it, 2:48 they treat it as little more than a joke too, 2:50 that there is something called the relaxing wars. 2:53 The relaxing wars that have been used throughout 2:55 history 2:57 to get rid of part of the population or to get out of an economic chaos. 3:02 And that's ... 3:03 right now it would be very convenient for them to, 3:04 on one hand, get rid of some of the population, 3:07 that is, get rid of this problem they say they won't be able to pay pensions, 3:10 because all of this increase, besides the cost, don't forget, military, 3:15 means a clear and tangible reduction of the welfare state, 3:20 of the four pillars of the welfare state. 3:22 Some of the more honest politicians, the few there are, 3:25 tell you this openly, others still keep it hidden. 3:28 But, of course, what happens? 3:29 That, in fact, it would be very convenient for them to camouflage the dire situation, 3:33 regrettable, that they have within their own country. 3:35 We see and we can talk about Macron's statements today, 3:39 where he said that we should just about go 3:41 to war because Russia is waging a hybrid war against us 3:43 which is unacceptable and that we have to be prepared. 3:46 Macron said it, as well as some of his top ministers. 3:48 Of course, but the thing is, France is in a very, 3:51 very delicate, extremely delicate situation. 3:53 And also in a France 3:55 where people are not as patient as the Spanish, 3:57 over there, as soon as people get a little heated, 3:59 they take to the streets and burn down half the streets. 4:02 But we've talked about it, the way things are in Germany, 4:04 the way things are in Sweden, the way things are in Finland, 4:07 which, ever since it joined NATO, 4:09 has completely come apart, with unemployment even higher than in Spain, 4:14 a sunken economy. 4:16 And then some only see the way out as the United Kingdom, 4:19 which now even wants to break apart, 4:21 there are already, there are small populations that are asking for independence 4:25 within the United Kingdom, even on the verge, 4:28 as many predict, of an internal civil confrontation. 4:32 And of course, what do they always find? 4:33 Well, we already know that to unite the people, 4:36 to cover up internal chaos, 4:40 you know, create an external enemy 4:42 and declare that you have to go to war against them. 4:43 The problem with all that, Ambassador, 4:44 is that when, and you know this perfectly well, 4:46 you have even much more experience than I do, 4:49 you say, you know that the problem with all this is 4:50 that when you get yourself involved in this war context, 4:53 you are making the population get used to it every day. 4:56 We just have to look at a some newspaper, 4:59 a Spanish one that every day, every single day without exception, 5:02 publishes some story to accuse Russia of anything, 5:05 or to convince the population 5:07 that we must go to war against Russia. 5:09 So, when you already have the, the, the atmosphere, the context, the narrative, 5:13 and you've already created it, all that's left is the incident. 5:15 And we're seeing incidents like these every day. 5:17 Like—now, it's a Danish helicopter, 5:20 or a frigate getting close to a Russian ship, 5:23 or the Russian ship fires a grenade, or some warning flares, 5:27 which is nonsense. 5:28 A flare is—what's even happening— 5:29 what range could it have? 300 meters. 5:31 And that's not going to bring down any helicopter. 5:34 But of course, it must be because the helicopter had come closer precisely 5:38 to the Russian warship in international waters. 5:42 But they're searching, they're only looking for the incident that will make all this blow up completely, 5:46 when, on top of that, they're deceiving us every day with the whole drone issue, 5:50 about Russian drones in the middle of Germany, 5:52 about not knowing, knowing where they came from and they just appear out of nowhere, 5:55 almost as if in, in a space-time shortcut. 5:58 And, and it's like that all the time. And we have loads of information. 6:01 But look, but the thing is there is a fact right now that strikes me as devastating 6:04 to show us how they're speeding this up by the minute, Ambassador, 6:09 Today's news 6:10 that Ukraine has launched drones 6:13 against a Russian nuclear power plant inside Russia. 6:17 Because remember that every so often, he launches strikes on Zaporizhia and 6:19 on top of that, they accuse the Russians of being the ones 6:22 launching drones at their own nuclear plant, 6:24 because they currently have it in their possession. 6:27 No, no, we're talking about inside, inside Russia, 6:31 at a nuclear power plant, Ukraine has launched drones. 6:34 In other words, what they're looking for now is for 6:36 Russia to blow up, 6:38 I mean, for them to say, look, this is where we draw the line, 6:41 I've had enough of you. 6:42 And, and, and on top of that, so that we Europeans can play the victim, see? 6:45 We had already warned you that Russia could attack us at any moment. 6:48 If they're provoking them with the, 6:51 the ones living in the Baltic states, 6:54 whose civil rights have been taken away, 6:55 who have been banned from speaking Russian. 6:57 In other words, they're constantly provoking it so that Russia finally snaps, 7:01 and specifically, 7:02 so that it's the one to take the first step in this war, 7:05 and today's statements from everyone, from Donald Tusk, 7:08 from Macron, from Merz they're honestly chilling. 7:13 That is, they're already openly talking to us about war, 7:16 they're openly talking to us about war. 7:18 And besides, the case of Poland, 7:20 which we'll discuss later too and give the exact data, 7:25 but what's happening with Poland is, is also spectacular. 7:27 And by the way, Trump, 7:30 who used to say he was going to leave Europe, 7:31 and now says no, that he's going to create a massive mega-base in Poland, 7:36 which is a plan that's already been in motion for some time. 7:39 But later, since he said he was going to leave Europe, 7:40 What is going to leave Europe? 7:41 And what we're talking about is quite the opposite, 7:43 about an absolutely warmongering Europe, 7:46 with reckless warmongering. 7:48 Because also, as you were saying, from a military point of view, 7:52 this is madness. 7:53 Where are we going up against a nuclear power? 7:56 They could wipe us out 7:58 in a matter of minutes, 8:00 in a matter of minutes, they could wipe out all of Europe. 8:02 But where are we going? 8:03 Does anyone think 8:05 that if Russia is massively attacked 8:09 within its territory, it will just sit back and do nothing? 8:12 Obviously not. So, what are we trying to achieve? 8:14 That they'll get really tired and launch two or three, 8:18 nuclear bombs on some of the main European capitals? 8:21 What are they trying to do? 8:22 I really don't know. 8:24 And you say, "But let's see." 8:25 Also, here no one, absolutely no one, is talking about diplomacy. 8:29 No one is talking... And you are a diplomat, an ambassador. 8:32 You know how important, vital, essential diplomacy is. 8:35 And let's not forget that the First World War, 8:38 which today is more than proven, was a failure of diplomacy. 8:42 It was a failure of diplomacy in entering the First World War. 8:45 So, what are they trying to do? 8:47 No one, no one speaks of negotiation, no one speaks of, of peace, 8:50 no one speaks of diplomacy, starting with the Kaja Kallas, 8:52 who is the head of European diplomacy. 8:54 So, it's a situation that's not, no, not, truly tremendously delicate, 8:58 and we're not paying enough attention to it. 9:00 But those of us who know something about these issues, 9:02 in your case as a diplomat, in my case as a soldier, 9:05 since we've traveled a lot around the world, 9:07 we know how populations are prepared psychologically for war. 9:12 And that's what they've been preparing us for, for some time now, 9:14 but right now, in an absolutely accelerated way. 9:17 That preparation is blatant now, absolutely blatant, 9:21 how they're preparing us for, 9:23 of course, because you have to convince people how positive war was. 9:27 We've already done many programs on this topic, 9:27 We've already done many programs on this topic, 9:30 about how, yes, how the adversary is demonized 9:33 so that in the end, people are convinced 9:35 that it's even, even good, 9:37 even logical, even "Christian," to, to attack, to attack the enemy 9:42 because he's so bad, so bad, truly evil, that he deserves to be attacked, right? 9:45 Without us realizing, the ones who suffer the consequences are us. 9:49 Mrs. von der Leyen, the president of the Commission, 9:52 has already said that none of her seven children will go to war, 9:54 because they're not prepared for that. 9:56 It will be the children of the poor, right, who go to war, 9:59 they're the ones who get sent. 10:00 So, of course, the, concern is immense, Ambassador. 10:04 But look, today itself, for example, the statements 10:07 from, we can talk about here, 10:10 from Figaro, it says here Macron says, 10:14 he says, "The president of the Republic's alert regarding the Russian threat." 10:19 It would be a mistake by Russia to continue 10:22 acting like this toward Europeans." 10:23 You say, "But look, you're the ones pressuring Russia." 10:26 Or the same thing, here on BFM, 10:29 it says, Macron says: 10:30 "The Russian hybrid threat towards Europeans and France has intensified." 10:36 Well, now they don't even know what to make up. 10:37 Or actually, here too, the EFE News Agency, which says: 10:40 "Macron warns of a shift in Russian aggression and threats in Europe." 10:46 In other words, they are preparing the ground, Ambassador, 10:48 they are preparing the ground. 10:50 When they haven't been able to prove anything 10:52 about these threats, not even the helicopter with the flares, 10:55 nor the drone issue. 10:57 In fact, there's information saying it's all staged. 10:59 There are no videos, no clear images, no remains of those drones. 11:04 And the only piece that exists, one from Poland, 11:06 seems to be all staged, 11:07 it's a shame I can't show the image, 11:10 but we'll talk about it later. 11:11 That is to say, but this really worries me, 11:13 knowing how wars are prepared, 11:15 knowing how populations are prepared, 11:17 specifically so they go to those wars gladly 11:21 and without understanding the goals behind them, 11:23 which certainly have nothing to do 11:25 with the evilness of Russia, 11:26 nor that Russia is out to kill us all, 11:28 they have been feeding us this story, 11:29 since when, Ambassador, for the past four years, 11:32 when they told us that Russia at any moment 11:33 was going to invade all of Europe. 11:35 Anyway, in any case, I find this issue absolutely extremely serious, Ambassador. *Pedro Baños Bajo is a retired Spanish Army colonel, writer, and prominent geopolitical analyst specializing in defense, intelligence, and international relations.

🚨🚨🚨A Stark Warning 🚨🚨🚨 🚨Europe is losing its mind. 🚨Where are we going up against a nuclear power? 🚨Russia could wipe us out in a matter of minutes, they could wipe out all of Europe. 🚨Does anyone think that if Russia is massively attacked within its territory, it will just sit back and do nothing? Obviously not. So, what are we trying to achieve? That they'll get really tired and launch two or three, nuclear bombs on some of the main European capitals? Pedro Baños Retired Spanish Army Colonel: 📑 That Mrs. von der Leyen is going to give Ukraine another 3.3 BILLONES euros another because she says that everything Ukraine has already received isn't enough, right? Because she says that everything Ukraine has already received isn't enough, right? 0:08 Exactly, the problem is that they've made a huge bet on Ukraine, and it has gone badly for them 0:09 a huge bet on Ukraine, and it has gone badly for them 0:12 and now, how do they backtrack, 0:13 how do they admit that this has been a mistake 0:14 from the very start, that they've led an entire people to destruction, 0:17 that they've led an entire people to destruction, 0:18 that already two generations of Ukrainians have died, 0:20 those who haven't fled the country, 0:22 which is a total disaster. 0:23 We only have the casualty exchange numbers between Russia and Ukraine, 0:27 between Russia and Ukraine, and the figures are staggering. 0:30 We can provide them later, right? 0:32 But what's going on? 0:34 As you said, that increase ... 0:36 look, in Spain's case, 0:37 it means multiplying the Defence budget by five, 0:41 Because of course, since the United States first asked for 2%. 0:44 Since we agreed, they said, "Hey, then 3.5%.." 0:47 Since we also agreed, they said, "Well, 5%." 0:49 These people are fools, so let's go, let's ask them for more, right? 0:52 In the end, they are going to buy almost everything from me, 0:54 which I really need. 0:55 But what is the problem, Ambassador? 0:56 When you manufacture weapons, 0:59 there is only one way for that system not to fail you, 1:02 and that is to use the weapons you've produced. 1:05 Because look, 1:06 you manufacture—imagine, it's true, there was a deficit here, 1:08 for example, of artillery shells, 1:10 one hundred fifty-five, or shells for, 1:12 cannons, or, or, or tank shells. 1:15 Fine, that's all well and good, whatever we want. 1:17 You've already produced that one million, five million shells. 1:21 And once you've produced them, what do you do? 1:22 That factory you set up with public money, with subsidies, do you shut it down? 1:28 Or you have the other option, 1:30 which is to go to war to use up that ammunition 1:32 and keep producing more. 1:33 And as it happens, in Europe, 1:35 especially in the main countries, 1:37 the economy is a total mess, 1:39 it's in free fall, 1:43 they desperately need, 1:45 as they can no longer make cars, like in Germany, 1:48 to start making tanks or ammunition instead. 1:51 But France is in the same situation. 1:52 A France that has been expelled from Africa, 1:56 where what the franc meant for them, the CFA. 2:00 And not only that, but also all the resources 2:02 they extracted under more than favorable conditions from these countries, 2:06 starting with uranium from Niger, 2:08 they've run out of it. 2:09 France is having a very hard time, 2:11 with an absolutely brutal social crisis. 2:15 And now we see all this coming together 2:16 with skyrocketing energy prices, 2:19 we can already see that the price of fuels 2:21 in Germany has already surpassed 2.5 euro— 2:24 euros per liter, which is truly outrageous. 2:27 We're talking about, and we saw the news, 2:29 that filling a standard tank 2:32 of an average vehicle now means 200 euros, 2:35 200 euros, which is absolutely insane. 2:38 And what does that mean? 2:39 That they only have one solution, indeed, 2:42 which is to go to war. 2:43 And remember there's something that, 2:45 we studied it in the Command and Staff course 2:47 and when you tell people about it, 2:48 they treat it as little more than a joke too, 2:50 that there is something called the relaxing wars. 2:53 The relaxing wars that have been used throughout 2:55 history 2:57 to get rid of part of the population or to get out of an economic chaos. 3:02 And that's ... 3:03 right now it would be very convenient for them to, 3:04 on one hand, get rid of some of the population, 3:07 that is, get rid of this problem they say they won't be able to pay pensions, 3:10 because all of this increase, besides the cost, don't forget, military, 3:15 means a clear and tangible reduction of the welfare state, 3:20 of the four pillars of the welfare state. 3:22 Some of the more honest politicians, the few there are, 3:25 tell you this openly, others still keep it hidden. 3:28 But, of course, what happens?

And we have loads of information. 6:01 But look, but the thing is there is a fact right now that strikes me as devastating 6:04 to show us how they're speeding this up by the minute, Ambassador, 6:09 Today's news 6:10 that Ukraine has launched drones 6:13 against a Russian nuclear power plant inside Russia. 6:17 Because remember that every so often, he launches strikes on Zaporizhia and 6:19 on top of that, they accuse the Russians of being the ones 6:22 launching drones at their own nuclear plant, 6:24 because they currently have it in their possession. 6:27 No, no, we're talking about inside, inside Russia, 6:31 at a nuclear power plant, Ukraine has launched drones. 6:34 In other words, what they're looking for now is for 6:36 Russia to blow up, 6:38 I mean, for them to say, look, this is where we draw the line, 6:41 I've had enough of you. 6:42 And, and, and on top of that, so that we Europeans can play the victim, see? 6:45 We had already warned you that Russia could attack us at any moment. 6:48 If they're provoking them with the, 6:51 the ones living in the Baltic states, 6:54 whose civil rights have been taken away, 6:55 who have been banned from speaking Russian. 6:57 In other words, they're constantly provoking it so that Russia finally snaps, 7:01 and specifically, 7:02 so that it's the one to take the first step in this war, 7:05 and today's statements from everyone, from Donald Tusk, 7:08 from Macron, from Merz they're honestly chilling. 7:13 That is, they're already openly talking to us about war, 7:16 they're openly talking to us about war. 7:18 And besides, the case of Poland, 7:20 which we'll discuss later too and give the exact data, 7:25 but what's happening with Poland is, is also spectacular. 7:27 And by the way, Trump, 7:30 who used to say he was going to leave Europe, 7:31 and now says no, that he's going to create a massive mega-base in Poland, 7:36 which is a plan that's already been in motion for some time. 7:39 But later, since he said he was going to leave Europe, 7:40 What is going to leave Europe? 7:41 And what we're talking about is quite the opposite, 7:43 about an absolutely warmongering Europe, 7:46 with reckless warmongering. 7:48 Because also, as you were saying, from a military point of view, 7:52 this is madness. 7:53 Where are we going up against a nuclear power? 7:56 They could wipe us out 7:58 in a matter of minutes, 8:00 in a matter of minutes, they could wipe out all of Europe. 8:02 But where are we going? 8:03 Does anyone think 8:05 that if Russia is massively attacked 8:09 within its territory, it will just sit back and do nothing? 8:12 Obviously not. So, what are we trying to achieve? 8:14 That they'll get really tired and launch two or three, 8:18 nuclear bombs on some of the main European capitals? 8:21 What are they trying to do? 8:22 I really don't know. 8:24 And you say, "But let's see." 8:25 Also, here no one, absolutely no one, is talking about diplomacy. 8:29 No one is talking... And you are a diplomat, an ambassador. 8:32 You know how important, vital, essential diplomacy is. 8:35 And let's not forget that the First World War, 8:38 which today is more than proven, was a failure of diplomacy. 8:42 It was a failure of diplomacy in entering the First World War. 8:45 So, what are they trying to do? 8:47 No one, no one speaks of negotiation, no one speaks of, of peace, 8:50 no one speaks of diplomacy, starting with the Kaja Kallas, 8:52 who is the head of European diplomacy. 8:54 So, it's a situation that's not, no, not, truly tremendously delicate, 8:58 and we're not paying enough attention to it. 9:00 But those of us who know something about these issues, 9:02 in your case as a diplomat, in my case as a soldier, 9:05 since we've traveled a lot around the world, 9:07 we know how populations are prepared psychologically for war. 9:12 And that's what they've been preparing us for, for some time now, 9:14 but right now, in an absolutely accelerated way. 9:17 That preparation is blatant now, absolutely blatant, 9:21 how they're preparing us for, 9:23 of course, because you have to convince people how positive war was. 9:27 We've already done many programs on this topic, 9:27 We've already done many programs on this topic, 9:30 about how, yes, how the adversary is demonized 9:33 so that in the end, people are convinced 9:35 that it's even, even good, 9:37 even logical, even "Christian," to, to attack, to attack the enemy 9:42 because he's so bad, so bad, truly evil, that he deserves to be attacked, right? 9:45 Without us realizing, the ones who suffer the consequences are us. 9:49 Mrs. von der Leyen, the president of the Commission, 9:52 has already said that none of her seven children will go to war, 9:54 because they're not prepared for that. 9:56 It will be the children of the poor, right, who go to war, 9:59 they're the ones who get sent. 10:00 So, of course, the, concern is immense, Ambassador. 10:04 But look, today itself, for example, the statements 10:07 from, we can talk about here, 10:10 from Figaro, it says here Macron says, 10:14 he says, "The president of the Republic's alert regarding the Russian threat." 10:19 It would be a mistake by Russia to continue 10:22 acting like this toward Europeans." 10:23 You say, "But look, you're the ones pressuring Russia." 10:26 Or the same thing, here on BFM, 10:29 it says, Macron says: 10:30 "The Russian hybrid threat towards Europeans and France has intensified." 10:36 Well, now they don't even know what to make up. 10:37 Or actually, here too, the EFE News Agency, which says: 10:40 "Macron warns of a shift in Russian aggression and threats in Europe." 10:46 In other words, they are preparing the ground, Ambassador, 10:48 they are preparing the ground. 10:50 When they haven't been able to prove anything 10:52 about these threats, not even the helicopter with the flares, 10:55 nor the drone issue. 10:57 In fact, there's information saying it's all staged. 10:59 There are no videos, no clear images, no remains of those drones. 11:04 And the only piece that exists, one from Poland, 11:06 seems to be all staged, 11:07 it's a shame I can't show the image, 11:10 but we'll talk about it later. 11:11 That is to say, but this really worries me, 11:13 knowing how wars are prepared, 11:15 knowing how populations are prepared, 11:17 specifically so they go to those wars gladly 11:21 and without understanding the goals behind them, 11:23 which certainly have nothing to do 11:25 with the evilness of Russia, 11:26 nor that Russia is out to kill us all, 11:28 they have been feeding us this story, 11:29 since when, Ambassador, for the past four years, 11:32 when they told us that Russia at any moment 11:33 was going to invade all of Europe. 11:35 Anyway, in any case, I find this issue absolutely extremely serious, Ambassador. *Pedro Baños Bajo is a retired Spanish Army colonel, writer, and prominent geopolitical analyst specializing in defense, intelligence, and international relations.

"SARS-CoV-2 comes from a US lab" - Interview with lab leak researcher Jim Haslam, part 1 I interviewed US lab leak researcher Jim Haslam. He has been researching the lab leak theory for three years and arrives at a startling conclusion: Contrary to what most lab leakers believe, the coronavirus did not originate in a Chinese lab, but in a U.S. lab, because it bears U.S. "fingerprints": certain gene sequences that can only be found in U.S. research papers and U.S. patents. Haslam grounds his work on the infamous "blueprint" for SARS-CoV-2: a leaked US research proposal called "DARPA DEFUSE". This was ultimately not funded by DARPA, but by none other than former NIAID director Anthony Fauci, under his generous research umbrella called "CREID". At the center of his investigative research is the question of what was actually released in 2019. According to Haslam, SARS-CoV-2 is a "self-spreading bat vaccine" that was released in a laboratory accident in Wuhan in the fall of 2019. The vaccine was to be tested at the Wuhan Institute of Virology on wild-caught bats before being released in the wild. The idea of vaccinating bats was based on the fact that they are considered by virologists to be a "reserve population" for highly dangerous viruses: SARS1, MERS, Nipah, Hendra, Marburg - all these highly dangerous viruses for humans would survive in bats and from there jump to humans again and again via intermediate hosts. The idea was to make nature safer for humans. And the rest, as they say, is history. What sounds almost unbelievable at first, Haslam proves in detail by means of conspicuous gene sequences in the COVID-19 genome, a multitude of declassified documents, Slack messages, emails, research proposals, patents and public statements of the "DARPA DEFUSE" protagonists in the years before and after Corona. In my opinion, the topic is so relevant because ultimately it is about the question of how society wants to deal with high-risk biotechnologies such as gain-of-function research in the future - if there is a strong suspicion that Corona may have been based on a laboratory accident in which a product of US biotechnology was released. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:21 What leaked? 01:39 Why should we still be talking about the lab leak in 2024? 04:22 The controversy among the proponents of the lab leak theory 07:12 The DARPA DEFUSE proposal 10:00 Is the lab hypothesis consensus in the US? 11:09 The cover-up: The virologist's slack messages 13:30 The Furin Cleavage Site 16:15 Further indications of a lab leak: The restriction sites 20:12 Who is Shi Zhengli? 22:11 The obsession of biotechnology from 2015 to 2019: Wild bats 23:25 Why bats? 29:32 Are the suspects nervous? 28:13 Jim Haslam's theory 32:21 The BSL-2 and BSL-4 lab in Wuhan 33:36 The researcher in the BSL-4 lab: Danielle Anderson 40:07 How did Anderson become infected in a BSL-4 lab? 42:31 Wuhan, bats and self-spreading vaccines This is part 1 of the interview, part 2 will follow in the new year. This is the "English only" version without subtitles. A German subtitled and German dubbed version for my German audience were published some days ago:

Today: a 1.5 hour interview with the co-founders of Coherence Neuro: Ben Woodington and Elise Jenkins They are, as far as i can tell, the only (neurotechnology x oncology) startup that exists today. 'Neurotechnology? For cancer?' you may ask. Yes! As it turns out, tumors interact with the nervous system a fair bit, and you can use the very same neuromodulation toolbox that exists for neuropsychiatric conditions, for monitoring and treating cancer. Coherence has built an invasive device to place at the site of a tumor to do exactly this. Their first indication is a form of brain cancer called glioblastoma; one of the most fatal subtypes of cancer to exist today. The standard of care (with one exception that we discuss) has not changed in 25 years. If Coherence works out, and there is a very real chance they will, that may change. Most interesting of all is that Coherence believes that the bioelectric properties of cancer are not just worth poking at for brain cancers, but for all cancers. And maybe even for diseases outside of it! This conversation covers how Coherence’s first neurotech device (SOMA) works, the molecular reasons behind why neuromodulation affects cancer at all, what the biomarker readouts look like, the obvious Michael Levin comparison, and a lot more. Also: shout to Nicole for setting up the connection here in the first place! Crazy to think that a meeting in mid-2025 ended up leading to this Youtube/Spotify/Apple Podcasts links in replies 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:01:42 - How is SOMA different from Novocure’s Optune? 0:08:57 - Why does neuromodulation affect cancer at all? 0:13:28 - How was cancer-nervous system crosstalk first discovered? 0:15:42 - Anti-epileptics and beta blockers as accidental cancer drugs 0:17:38 - What is molecularly happening when you block cancer-neuron crosstalk? 0:19:50 - What is SOMA actually reading out as a biomarker? 0:20:44 - What does it mean that cancer is “very electric”? 0:22:02 - Can you derive universal biomarkers across patients? 0:23:09 - How is the device placed? 0:24:45 - How does the blocking stimulation regime work? 0:26:43 - Is it fair to say this is closed loop? 0:29:05 - Why not just spam the tumor with constant stimulation? 0:32:31 - Why MRI safety is non-negotiable for oncology devices 0:33:35 - Walk us through the patient journey from diagnosis to implantation 0:36:13 - The Michael Levin question: can you reprogram cancer back to normal? 0:42:29 - Efficacy, hospice settings, and the utility of the neuromodulation literature 0:45:52 - Why start with glioblastoma instead of an easier cancer? 0:48:57 - Regulatory strategy and the reimbursement threat 0:55:37 - How well does mouse-to-human translation work for neuromodulation? 0:55:57 - What do in silico models of neuromodulation look like? 0:58:09 - Why didn’t this exist 10 years ago? 1:01:48 - The founding story 1:06:38 - Why build your own device instead of using off-the-shelf arrays? 1:08:35 - Speaking with glioblastoma patients 1:12:04 - What was it like to raise money for this? 1:13:56 - Beyond cancer: TBI, lung disease, and the pan-disease argument 1:17:40 - Hiring at Coherence + what is the hardest type of talent to find 1:23:17 - What would you do with $100M equity-free? 1:27:15 - Are you a neurotech company or a cancer company?
