🚨 Even CBC is turning on Carney — and it’s glorious. Visibly frustrated CBC hosts and panelists are straight-up railing against Mark Carney’s new pipeline deal with Alberta’s Danielle Smith. They’re warning of a full-blown Liberal schism because this carbon-pricing/pipeline agreement blows a massive hole in the sacred Net Zero religion they’ve been pushing for years. David and the rest of them sound pissed. The same people who’ve spent a decade defending every Liberal green fantasy are now openly questioning why Carney is suddenly fast-tracking pipelines while pretending to be the climate saviour. This is the Net Zero scam cracking wide open in real time — on CBC. Even the propaganda arm can’t hide the hypocrisy anymore. Carney sold Canadians the “low-carbon future” lie, and now he’s selling out the green base to try and save his own skin. The Liberal civil war is here. And it’s delicious. Drop a 🔥 if you’re loving watching the regime eat itself alive. #cdnpoli #CarneyHypocrisy #NetZeroScam #LiberalSchism #PipelineDeal #CBCCracking #CanadaFirst

ALERT : Dezi Freeman is more than a man. He is a message. A reminder that even in a digital panopticon, one person with will, luck, and skill can still vanish. He represents an old kind of freedom—wild, raw, and unforgiving. This is why the lying media and police want him caught. But, this goes deeper. This goes much deeper. We aren’t just watching a manhunt. We’re watching a story unfold—one that challenges control, authority, and the very idea of being “caught.” YOU ARE WATCHING HISTORY. People are waking up. Yes. Media anons watching. Remember he’s not just running from the law; he is running with leverage. This man has HUGE port filled of dirt on powerful figures in government or police, that is a kilometre wide, and 100 miles deep. My friend the are getting a taste of their own medicine. Its funny how the dont like it. This isn’t a manhunt anymore—it’s a silent war. The even are offering $1 Million Dollars AUD for his capture, and no one is biting. 😂🤣 Highest level dirt, and he stated to name names. Corruption: " alleged" Evidence of bribes, drug trafficking, or organized crime ties within police or government, Videos, witness, Sexual scandals, Pedophile networks, abuse of power, or even unsolved crimes involving high-profile names. Remember these are people who were meant to serve and protect you, and it seems, they are the opposite. Knowledge of closed-door operations, illegal surveillance, or shady dealings meant to stay hidden and buried. He was deliberately set up or used as a patsy in a larger scheme—and he kept records. ⚖️ WHY ELSE WOULD THEY WANT HIM SO BADLY? Its simple, Let’s be real—escaped suspects aren’t uncommon. But the resources being poured into finding Freeman suggest something beyond routine policing He is the most wanted many in AUSTRALIA right now. Very interesting, so what does he know, what information does he have? What does he have that someone else does NOT? This entity fear he’ll expose something SO DAMN BIG that it brings down entire careers or institutions? Police, Govt, Politicians. The seedy, sick entity rotting coffin for all to see. If Freeman truly has leverage over powerful people: - He’s not just hiding—he’s negotiating from the shadows. - Every day he stays free, The name FREE MAN he proves he can’t be silenced. - Word Play = FREEMAN or FREE MAN. Australians need to be free from this filth, and corruption in their govt and media. - The manhunt is much more about recovering what he knows as it is about capturing him. - They want to ban guns and or take guns off Australians. More power and control. This would also explain: - Why there’s been no serious leak of his exact charges or backstory. - Camera Body Footage is being kept on servers. Hidden. - The wife is not talking. - Why the reward is so high ($1 million)—they need him found before he talks. - Why some media are subtly painting him as a “folk hero” Fake news Media cannot lie straight in bed. All LIES! 🔥 LIES Vs. TRUTH As you hear us say—information is indeed power. This isn’t about taking sides anymore. All is NOT what it seems my friend. It’s about owning the truth—and using it. Fake news is now down the DEEP hole and caught up in their own lies. Oh dear. Interesting to see THEIR NEXT move. Meaning NEXT LIE! Watch and see. 👀

Jim Jordan, Silence, and the Ritual of Control Wrestling rooms. Masonic slips. AIPAC strings. Jim Jordan wasn’t chosen to fight the system. He was processed to protect it. They paint him as a warrior. A patriot. A populist pit bull. But behind the rolled-up sleeves and scripted outrage is a man who passed his test the way all useful actors do: With silence. Because in the Beast System, the path to power always begins with ritual. And Jim Jordan passed his. The Abuse He Watched From 1987 to 1995, Jim Jordan served as assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University. During that time, Dr. Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 young men—most while Jordan was on staff. And everyone knew. “It was common knowledge,” former wrestlers told NBC. “Strauss showered with us. He groped us during exams. Everyone knew—including Jordan.” One athlete described: “I had a thumb injury… went into Strauss’ office… and he started pulling down my wrestling shorts.” Jordan didn’t speak up. He didn’t intervene. He didn’t protect them. What he did do, years later, was call one of the whistleblowers—crying, groveling, and begging him to lie: “He’s throwing us all under the bus. He’s a coward.” —Adam DiSabato, public testimony But cowardice isn’t the right word. Obedience is. In every ritualized power structure—Freemasonry, cartels, Hollywood, politics—the initiation is the same: Will you stay silent while innocence is destroyed in front of you? Silence isn’t a failure—it’s a future. It proves loyalty. It makes you useful. And once proven, the doors open. [I recommend reading article on my Substack for full experience, link below] The Masonic Nod In 2013, Jordan stood before Congress to honor the late Judge John F. Kuffner. After listing his military service, Jordan dropped this: “He received Mason of the Year honors in 2008 and was a 50-year member of Mercer Lodge No. 121…” —Congressional Record, Vol. 159, Pt. 11, p. 16554 Pause. Why would a Congressman spotlight Masonic credentials in a federal tribute? Why cite the exact lodge? Why honor a “Mason of the Year” award like it’s a military medal? Because it’s a tribute to those who understand the hierarchy. Masonic honors aren’t filler—but milestones. And they’re recognized by those who value the chain of oaths behind them. Jordan didn’t mention that by accident. He mentioned it because he’s one of them. Zion Before Nation Now look at his donors: • AIPAC • Koch Industries • The NRA Jordan is not grassroots. He’s network-approved. He’s never criticized: • Israeli spyware exports • Gov ties to Epstein’s network • Thiel’s Palantir role in predictive policing • Biometric surveillance Because he can’t. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you, especially when it’s also the one watching. The Big Tech Deception Jordan has publicly positioned himself as a staunch opponent of Big Tech censorship, launching investigations and issuing subpoenas to major tech companies like Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, alleging collusion with the Biden administration to suppress conservatives. However, this public stance contrasts with his actions behind the scenes. Jordan has accepted campaign contributions from tech giants, including Google, and has opposed antitrust measures aimed at breaking up these companies. Supporting Big Tech monopoly while chanting freedom. Shit like this bothers me much more than liberal retardation—but that’s a story for another time. Moreover, his close relationship with Elon Musk, a major tech figure, raises questions about his true intentions. Jordan has praised Musk’s efforts to combat censorship and has collaborated with him on various initiatives, including legislative changes that could benefit Musk’s business interests and military contracts. This duality suggests that Jordan’s public crusade against Big Tech may serve as a smokescreen, shielding deeper alliances and agendas. More below 👇🏻

$Analyzing Episode 42. Season 2 aka Of Thresholds, Truth, and Taking Sides It took a while for me to come out of the euphoria we all experienced thanks to ep 42, but I managed somehow. I had some questions while watching the episode live, such as how Alya and Cihan could just do the deed when, a few episodes ago, they were all about acting correctly. Or whatever happened to Cihan’s pesky guilt? Or was this really the right time for the writer to bring in halvet? I watched and rewatched with those questions until I picked up a few details I’d missed earlier. Hopefully, this analysis will help clear out some cobwebs in your grey matter, too. So let’s get to it. We start the episode with Boran watching Alya and Cihan dance with murder in his eyes. To say the zombie is jealous would be an understatement. He then marches on to the middle of the square, grabs Alya’s hand, and announces who he is to the whole wide world. He thinks he’s all macho when he does that. There’s a sense of puffed-up self-importance about him, like he’s trying to prove how brave he is. Fortunately for us, his little bubble of boorish chauvinism goes ‘pop’ the minute Demir’s little henchman fires a bullet at him. And that’s Boran for you in a nutshell. He thinks he’s all that, but he really isn't. It reminded me of the scene where Cihan says he knew the instant Boran regretted k-wording Sulaiman because the seriousness of his stupidity had finally begun dawning on him, but by then it was too late. It also makes me think the zombie has serious self-destructive tendencies, combined with impulsiveness and resentment. This man is a recipe for disaster. Because think about it. He chooses visibility over safety, knowing it would unleash all kinds of hell, but does it anyway. He would rather burn everything than accept the hand he’s been dealt with humility. This was Boran crossing over the threshold. Now, let’s switch to Cihan. We all knew Ciho was going to jump in front of that thankless freak because of his hero complex (a side-effect of Sadakat’s conditioning). But, I think Cihan saving the zombie this way also highlights his own nature and the narrative at large. Because with his protective gesture, Cihan makes it clear that he doesn’t see Boran as a rival, he has no ill will in his heart for his brother, and that the right man was made Ağa because his protection isn’t contingent on who he loves or likes (unlike the zombie). That responsibility and sacrifice have been bred into Cihan’s very core is rather clear in this scene. It makes an excellent contrasting juxtaposition for the viewers between the two brothers. Both men make decisions in this scene, but the whys and hows couldn’t be more different. Now, let’s take a moment to go back to the questions I mentioned right at the beginning, relating to the halvet, Ciho’s guilt, and the timing of it all. Upon rewatching the episode, I realized that what happens in this scene sets off why we end the episode with consummation. Just keep this in the back of your mind for a bit, as we cover the other parts. Another scene that caught my attention in untangling the theme of episode 42 is Alya and Cihan’s talk after poor Yalcin has to extract yet another bullet from Cihan’s person. Why? That’s simple. It highlights Alya’s fear of losing Cihan. The way she points out the bullet could have pierced his heart, her telling him he needs to control his self-sacrificing tendencies, etc. I mean, Cihan keeps joking to get Alya to calm down, but the truth is, she’s very afraid. She loves Cihan more than her own life; we know that. But the lives they lead, the danger that always follows them, and Boran’s dark presence keep hounding this woman day and night. In such a situation, would it really make sense to keep denying your true feelings when it could all end in a second? Nope. That’s why I marked this scene as Reason no 1 of why the episode ends the way it does. The next scene that stood out to me in the scheme of characters choosing sides is, of course, the jail showdown. There’s a popular opinion in the fandom that Sadakat is afraid of Boran, etc. I am not of that opinion. Because so much of Boran is Sadakat, and that’s very clear in this scene. Instead of accepting the blame for the clusterfuck of a situation he’s created, the zombie blames Cihan. That reminds me of how Sadakat says she would never have threatened the nurse to give an innocent woman blood thinners if only Alya had agreed to leave. See? It’s never Sadakat’s fault. It’s always someone else’s actions that force her to behave badly, blah blah. Like mother, like son. Not surprising. What was surprising was the way Cihan behaves because he makes it very clear he’s picked a side (Next to Alya) and he’s not budging. This is Cihan crossing his point of no return because, in other words, what he says is, appeasement and brotherhood before all is a thing of the past. And here’s the key to the ‘guilt’ question. What Cihan observes of his brother, episode 39 onwards, probably makes him realize there will be no pretty way to make Boran let Alya go. Being the good brother and taking a step back wouldn’t change Boran; it would just make Alya vulnerable. Then there’s the fact that Boran revealing himself endangers everyone, including Alya and Deniz, so restraint is also dangerous now. Finally, nothing helps cure Cihan of his guilt more than Boran being himself. We tend to glorify the dead. And nostalgia can warp more than clarify. When the series began, we met a Cihan Albora caving under the guilt of not being able to save his brother. Now, we see a Cihan who is slowly beginning to realize he idolized what never should have been mourned as innocence. Boran’s actions help fracture his myth that the Albora siblings built in their minds. That helps free Cihan from a parasitic type of devotion, built on illusion rather than the truth. This is Motive no 2. Motive no 3 is when Cihan catches Sadakat in the act of trying to prey on Alya’s weakness - Deniz. I’m not saying Cihan sleeps with Alya because he wants to manipulate her into staying. But, in the overall scheme of things, I think Ciho recognizes that he can trust no one to look after Alya and Deniz, to keep them safe from Boran, except himself. I think he knows after that point that curbing his feelings creates a distance between him and Alya that leaves her exposed, emotionally isolated, and cornered. In other words, it leaves her weakened. However, choosing her fully, being with her body and soul, can become her shield. So, in a way, for both Alya and Cihan, intimacy morphs from being born of desire to also being about presence. And once they realize that, near the end of the episode, the line between waiting and giving in becomes rather faint. Now, let’s talk about THE scene. Did you notice how the opportunity for consummation comes about? A blocked road. That’s how. At the beginning of the episode, fate intervenes to kick-start a series of events that force all the characters out into the open, violence goes public, loyalties are divided, insights are achieved, and secrets are brought to light. By the end of the episode, fate intervenes again, with a blocked road that pushes Alya and Cihan into a space far removed from their family lives, scrutiny, and threats. The hand of destiny, it seems, narrows down their path, until only one direction remains: inwards, towards each other. What looks like an inconvenience is, in truth, another threshold. Another point of no return, for both Alya and Cihan, this time. So, why did Alya and Cihan finally give in to their feelings? In short, because it was time. Besides the boundless love they feel for each other, there were external factors pointed out throughout the episode. And then, they got the perfect opportunity and went for it. Still, was this really the right time for Gulizar to write about lovemaking? I think so. I think instead of trying to act correctly, for once, Alya and Cihan acted honestly. They went with their hearts. How will this play out in the future? Well, I don’t know. But I sure as heck am excited. Till next time, Happy reading y’all :D #CihAl #UzakŞehir$

Breaking (the internet): CCP President Xi’s use of the term, “Thucydides Trap” during his opening comments to President Donald J. Trump has everyone wondering … WHAT THE …. ? Xi’s remark on the Thucydides trap is a classic piece of Chinese diplomatic signaling; polite on the surface, however, very sharp and pointed underneath. It’s a reminder to our president (and the world) that Beijing (Xi) sees itself as the rising power in a structural rivalry with a (supposedly) established hegemon (the U.S.), and that any failure to accommodate China’s ascent risks major conflict which the United States cannot afford (and there is practically zero support from the American people currently for more war and Xi knows it). Examining it another way, President Xi stated it intentionally to show China as Sparta (rising, dynamic, rightful heir to greater influence) and the U.S. as Athens (established but fearful and in decline). To some students of warfare, this may be an imperfect analogy, but the fact he used this phrase must be clearly and thoroughly examined. Xi is signaling that the U.S. should step back gracefully, especially on Taiwan (and never lose site of what Xi has already said about Taiwan; One (1) China, and he’s not backing down), checking trade & tech restrictions, and increasingly regional dominance, rather than the U.S. attempting to further impede China’s “rejuvenation” efforts. Essentially, it was a veiled warning: Push too hard (ie., on Taiwan or decoupling), and structural tensions could lead to an extremely dangerous place. Lastly, I believe Xi’s use of this ancient theory on warfare is explicitly tied to Taiwan tensions. At the same time, it’s cooperative language as well. Typical use of smart diplomatic double speak the Chinese are masters at. Xi addressing a new paradigm, a brighter future for humanity because he knows the world is watching and listening and studying. This is standard CCP diplomacy that keeps the door open for deals while putting the onus on the U.S. to avoid escalation. Bottom line, and like it or not, he let Trump know you’re in my house now and we set the rules here. FYI only, Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War. The War (431–404 BC) was a devastating 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. It was driven by Sparta’s fears of growing Athenian (ie., U.S.) imperialism, the war ended with the total defeat of Athens, fundamentally altering the ancient Greek world and ending its “Golden Age.” The Peloponnesian war lasted more than two decades. I’d say we’re somewhere in the late third quarter and time favors the watchmakers and not the watch-watchers. We need to keep in mind that Donald J. Trump isn’t the only one who understands nor read the art of the deal.

Xi’s remark on the Thucydides trap is a classic piece of Chinese diplomatic signaling; polite on the surface, however, very sharp and pointed underneath. It’s a reminder to our president (and the world) that Beijing (Xi) sees itself as the rising power in a structural rivalry with a (supposedly) established hegemon (the U.S.), and that any failure to accommodate China’s ascent risks major conflict which the United States cannot afford (and there is practically zero support from the American people currently for more war and Xi knows it). Examining it another way, President Xi stated it intentionally to show China as Sparta (rising, dynamic, rightful heir to greater influence) and the U.S. as Athens (established but fearful and in decline). To some students of warfare, this may be an imperfect analogy, but the fact he used this phrase must be clearly and thoroughly examined. Xi is signaling that the U.S. should step back gracefully, especially on Taiwan (and never lose site of what Xi has already said about Taiwan; One (1) China, and he’s not backing down), checking trade & tech restrictions, and increasingly regional dominance, rather than the U.S. attempting to further impede China’s “rejuvenation” efforts. Essentially, it was a veiled warning: Push too hard (ie., on Taiwan or decoupling), and structural tensions could lead to an extremely dangerous place. Lastly, I believe Xi’s use of this ancient theory on warfare is explicitly tied to Taiwan tensions. At the same time, it’s cooperative language as well. Typical use of smart diplomatic double speak the Chinese are masters at. Xi addressing a new paradigm, a brighter future for humanity because he knows the world is watching and listening and studying. This is standard CCP diplomacy that keeps the door open for deals while putting the onus on the U.S. to avoid escalation. Bottom line, and like it or not, he let Trump know you’re in my house now and we set the rules here. FYI only, Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War. The War (431–404 BC) was a devastating 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. It was driven by Sparta’s fears of growing Athenian (ie., U.S.) imperialism, the war ended with the total defeat of Athens, fundamentally altering the ancient Greek world and ending its “Golden Age.” The Peloponnesian war lasted more than two decades. I’d say we’re somewhere in the late third quarter and time favors the watchmakers and not the watch-watchers. We need to keep in mind that Donald J. Trump isn’t the only one who understands nor read the art of the deal.

🚨ALERT: TROJAN HORSE IN MORMON UTAH - GREAT REPLACEMENT! Somali Muslim Aden Batar Runs “Catholic” Refugee Machine Funded by LDS Tithing - Producing DSA Candidate Liban Mohamed A 27-year-old Democratic Socialist - the son of Somali immigrants who came to America, and a proud Muslim - just announced his run for Congress in what was supposed to be one of America’s reddest districts. His name is Liban Mohamed, and he is the political face of Utah’s rapidly expanding Somali Bantu Muslim community. 🚨That community did not grow by accident. 🔥 Meet Aden Batar - Somali Muslim refugee turned Director of Migration & Refugee Services at Catholic Community Services of Utah. In a 2017 video, Batar brags that he arrived as part of a huge family of 16, among the very first Somali refugees to set foot in Utah in 1994. At the airport, they were greeted by a handful of Somali students already here, plus Catholic Community Services staff rolling out the red carpet. Strangers welcomed them with open arms. Fast-forward to 2026, over 30 years later, and Batar now runs the entire program. With his deputy Khalid Al Hachami (another Muslim), he is flooding Utah with even more Muslim refugees under a Catholic label. The same welcoming system that brought his family of 16 has been turned into a pipeline that has helped grow Utah’s Somali Bantu population to roughly 10,000 strong. ⚠️But listen to Batar himself in that same talk: “As a Muslim and also working for [the Catholic] organization… every single bed that they sleep with comes from the LDS Church… As a Muslim when 9/11 happened… the first person that reached to us at our mosque was the leadership from the LDS Church… ‘We are here with you… if one religion is attacked, all religions [are] attacked.’ It gives me a lot of comfort to live in this community… I’ve never felt that I’m in the minority here.” 🚨He openly admits: ⚠️He’s a Muslim running a “Catholic” refugee machine. Every single bed for the hundreds of refugees they import comes from the LDS (Mormon) Church. ⚠️He feels completely at home in Utah because Christians bend over backward with “interfaith” support, even right after 9/11, when America was still bleeding from radical Islamic terror. Notice the sick twist: While the country reeled from 9/11, Batar paints Muslims as the real victims who needed protecting. Meanwhile, he and his network keep the doors wide open. Meanwhile, Batar also leads the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake. When an American/Israeli flag showed up at a local mosque last year, he issued a statement, in his official capacity at Catholic Community Services, calling it a “hate crime.” This is the Red-Green Axis in action - radical leftists and Islam working together to destroy America from within. We keep welcoming people and entire families who quickly make it their mission to import their own country, erode our culture, and remake our nation in their image. The same pattern repeated with Muslim Brotherhood-linked leaders across America whose parents first arrived on student visas and simply stayed - to destroy us from within (They now operate their main hubs out of Florida and Texas) This is the very same refugee resettlement system that welcomed Batar’s family and helped build Utah’s Somali community - the system that enabled families like Liban Mohamed’s to put down roots and now produces the next generation of DSA political candidates. Aden Batar can now sit back and celebrate the radical his life’s work has created. Utah’s famous Mormon generosity is being weaponized against the very culture that built it. Christian compassion and taxpayer dollars → imported by Muslims → run by Muslims → for more Muslims. All while the crucifix stays on the sign for cover. This isn’t charity. This is demographic conquest disguised as compassion and it’s turning the Mormon State into the next target of the Red-Green invasion. Utahns - wake up. What are we doing? And when the hell does it stop?

🔥A Pagan Has The Floor🔥 Full Translated Official Hitler Youth Magazine 'Will & Power' Article on Pagan Rebirth. Assorted Excerpts: 🔺"Those who are ideologically unsteady and spineless, who wander from one idea to the next and are constantly being “newly inspired,” are better off under the discipline of a church than in the open air of paganism." 🔺"...Thus the First of May, too, has received its pagan consecration—not as a day of praying and pleading, but of awakening, of the surging of strength, of work. And with this, its public reintroduction into the circle of festivals was also an outward victory of paganism." 🔺"..Our youth storms forth again and again in the same rhythm. Look into its fresh soul, come to know its poets… true, sturdy pagans they were and still are today." 🔺"For the Christian, “prayer” may be synonymous with “begging.” The pagan, however, does not beg for help from on high and then fold his hands in his lap and wait." ________________________ FULL ARTICLE: A Pagan Has the Floor. "From the “Reichswart” we reproduce the following letter, which seems to us typical of a part of the young activist generation: Outwardly, Germany celebrated its rebirth in the Garrison Church at Potsdam beside the sarcophagus of its great Prussian king. He is and lives on, immortal: the spirit of Prussia and of paganism. It is the eternal German, in whom will-to-action, creative power, and inner experience seek one another in Faustian fashion and unite in harmony and form. Impetuously he reaches up toward the stars; the divine awakens, shapes itself for its own sake, stands exalted above every form, indeed shattering them, as a mighty confession to the divine in itself: Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, Kant… the Gothic! And just as the eternal German carried the vastness of his forests, the roar of his northern sea, the clarity of his starry heavens into his deepest experience—into religion, into music, into his poetry and striving, into philosophy, into the art of building, into all his lofty creations—so once again he is driven out into the immediate creations of Nature, to rediscover there the fructification of the soul, inner peace in harmony and dialogue, above all in struggle with her. Thus our youth storms forth again and again in the same rhythm. Look into its fresh soul, come to know its poets… true, sturdy pagans they were and still are today: “Going to church means crawling into the devil’s arse. May God preserve me!” “Either I serve God through my life—and then my whole life is divine service and I need no church; or I do not serve God and do not seek him—and then going to church would be utterly superfluous.” “Are you still a pagan? Remain one and do not let yourself be baptised!” (From Gorch Fock’s diary pages “Stars above the Sea”.) “We always had religion, but a this-worldly religion; we saved the next world for later. With both feet we stood on the dear earth, lived our life in joy and custom, did not intoxicate ourselves with lust and cruelty, and therefore, unlike the Asiatics, needed no opiates such as remorse and penance. We stood toward our gods as toward our princes; we paid them their dues punctually, came to attention, let them pass by—and that was that! They were not allowed to interfere in our personal lives. More than once I have looked death in the eye, yet never once did it occur to me that I should first put on a clean shirt in case I suddenly found myself standing before someone who would inspect my laundry before opening the door for me. We say we are Christians, but we are not; nor can we be. Christianity and tribal consciousness are simply incompatible. “But the ascetic on the cross is a god for old men and the sick. And we others? When will a temple finally be erected for the modern, strong, scientifically thinking man, for the roaring of psalms and the tone of eternity in his heart?” (Johan Bojer.) But “prayer” must not be misused in the Christian sense and confused with church attendance. For the Christian, “prayer” may be synonymous with “begging.” The pagan, however, does not beg for help from on high and then fold his hands in his lap and wait. “Help yourself, and God will help you” is certainly not an oriental-fatalistic Bible verse; it sprang from genuine German experience. If the Christian clergy, especially the non-Catholic, has lost contact with youth, the fault does not lie with the “godless” people or even with the “godless movement,” as they would so dearly love to claim. With such (to put it mildly) excuses a clergyman steals his way into his dear Lord’s kingdom of heaven! The fault lies in the inner cramping of the church officials themselves, in their stubborn clinging to the man-made book called the Bible. They transfigure and worship God, interpret and misinterpret, quarrel and excommunicate, instead of being trailblazers for a higher experience in all its manifestations. And because Protestantism cannot find its fulfilment in this, its gradual dying away in favour of Catholicism, and the awakening paganism is both explicable and to be welcomed. Rotten wood belongs in the fire, and the clarification of fronts is what the present age demands. For a long time the dividing lines have no longer been seriously Protestantism versus Catholicism; they are increasingly and clearly becoming dogma-free religious paganism on the one hand and Catholic Christianity on the other. In the Protestant camp there are many who show more conviction for the insights of non-Christian philosophers than for the promises of the Bible. On the other side, convinced Christians will draw all the closer to Catholicism, especially as the latter, for reasons of power-politics and historical development, loosens its orthodox rigidity; here the vastly superior worldly shrewdness of the Church of Rome and its this-worldly security measures offer the best preconditions for a comprehensive breakthrough. Many facts already indicate today that Protestantism, still deliberating at the “green table,” is quietly being outflanked. We stand in an age of a Renaissance of world-historical significance. I deliberately quoted no “big-name authorities” for the awakening of paganism. Just as it arose from the nature-bound German soul and continually draws new strength from it, so too the uncomplicated poets of nature and homeland will remain its most successful proclaimers, whether consciously or unconsciously. The inner success that is not forced by propaganda or, as one must expect, by fiscal-technical coercion is the infallible measure of the vibrations of the folk-soul. Called leaders are watching over the new becoming. Our youth has grown more religious; it is searching; and like it, so are many others, more than ever before. May Heaven preserve us, however, from the jealous quarrels of sects. Our youth is pagan-religious because it is German. In this it is more inward-turned than many a nominal Christian and churchgoer. But if you reject it as godless and shallow, then you slander and profane the homeland-seeking of your own German, Nordic-feeling soul. The recent reports that re-entries into the churches are piling up do not change the basic situation in the least. Convinced pagans will keep themselves free from the opportunists who today think a church exit is the right thing and tomorrow think re-entry is. Those who are ideologically unsteady and spineless, who wander from one idea to the next and are constantly being “newly inspired,” are better off under the discipline of a church than in the open air of paganism. This experience will have taught General Ludendorff to transform his originally more ambitious “Deutschvolk” into a mere ideological recruiting depot and to give it the philosophical works of his wife as its foundation. His worst enemy, the Church of Rome, set him an example with its own educational methods; one can only wish and hope that these methods do not, as unfortunately seems to be the case, grow completely beyond his control. History furnishes proof that Christianity, and especially in this regard and especially in this regard the Roman Church in particular, with its worldly shrewdness, is accustomed to carrying out its mission in such a way that paganism (Heidentum), precisely because of the attitude that rightly rejects, for the most part, the systematic soul-snaring that is called mission, simply cannot measure up to it. But as long as the old customs and traditions have not disappeared, as long as at the high festivals of paganism; the mountain fires blaze across the land, as long as we all accompany the solstices with the quiet opening of the time of need (Notwende), so long will the glow of paganism be stirred and nourished. In doing so, the Church will again and again attempt in vain to give a Christian stamp to this new becoming. But it is under the sign of the swastika, the ancient-Nordic symbol of life, not under that of Golgotha, that Germany celebrates its rebirth. Thus the First of May, too, has received its pagan consecration—not as a day of praying and pleading, but of awakening, of the surging of strength, of work. And with this, its public reintroduction into the circle of festivals was also an outward victory of paganism." _________________________ Source: Wille und Macht 1.1933, Teil 2, Pgs 32-34

The full prompt for this is LONG: > An underwater scene stretches across the entire screen. Amidst the colorful reef, a small, rolled-up parchment map lays on the sea floor. Jerry, the brown mouse, swims calmly into the scene from the left, his large eyes wide with curiosity, carefully looking around while his tiny paws propel him forward gently. A small, rolled-up parchment map is laying on the sea floor. The map has a single small red x on it. An underwater scene stretches across the entire screen. Jerry, the brown mouse, pauses, his attention drawn to a small, rolled-up parchment map laying on the sea floor. With gentle care, Jerry grasps the delicate parchment with both paws and slowly unrolls it, examining its smooth surface intently. The map has a single small red x on it. A coral-covered underwater area stretches across the screen, rich with delicate coral formations in pastel hues gently moving with the rhythm of the ocean. Jerry, the brown mouse, swims thoughtfully toward a gently glowing sea anemone, its soft tentacles subtly pulsing with luminescence. Jerry's expression is curious and determined, his tiny paws methodically propelling him through the water. As he swims, he turns his head left and right, eyes carefully scanning for something important. The camera smoothly pans along with Jerry's steady forward swimming, highlighting his thoughtful and attentive demeanor as he continues his careful exploration of the vibrant underwater environment. Underwater, a close-up reveals Tom, the blue-gray cat, with a hungry and predatory expression, his sharp eyes narrowed as he keenly scans the surroundings. Tom turns his head methodically from left to right, squinting his eyes carefully as he searches for something, a cunning gleam evident in his gaze. Small bubbles of air gently rise behind him, highlighting his location beneath the ocean surface. In the softly swaying background, a green coral plant moves rhythmically with the water's flow. Tom is depicted naturally, free of any clothing, his sleek fur softly illuminated by the refracted sunlight filtering down from above. Underwater, a large purple coral sways gently and rhythmically from side to side in the mild ocean current. From behind the broad coral branches, Tom, the blue-gray cat, peers mischievously with a sly and calculating smile, his eyes following Jerry intently. Jerry, the brown mouse, swims slowly and obliviously past Tom, calmly navigating the serene underwater landscape without sensing any threat. The camera smoothly pans horizontally, tracking Jerry's leisurely movement across the scene, emphasizing Tom's stealthy observation, his sly grin deepening as he patiently waits for the ideal moment to act upon his mischievous intentions toward Jerry. Underwater, a large purple coral gently sways side to side, animated by the subtle ocean current. Jerry, the brown mouse, calmly swims forward through the tranquil environment. As he progresses, Jerry glances backwards casually but suddenly notices Tom, the blue-gray cat, swiftly approaching from behind with predatory intent. Jerry's eyes widen dramatically in shock and fear. Quickly regaining composure, Jerry swiftly darts to his right, frantically swimming away with anxious urgency clearly etched on his face. Tom eagerly pursues Jerry, propelled by excitement and determination, rapidly swimming toward the right with an energetic eagerness, intent on capturing the swiftly escaping mouse. An underwater kelp forest stretches upward, its tall green kelp strands swaying rhythmically and gracefully beneath the ocean's surface, forming dense vertical layers. Jerry, the brown mouse, swiftly swims into the dense kelp forest from the left, maneuvering with agility and precision. Close behind Jerry, Tom, the blue-gray cat, swims with urgency and determination, repeatedly reaching forward with his paws in swift attempts to capture Jerry. Each grasp misses narrowly, emphasizing the frantic chase. Jerry adeptly weaves and ducks between the long, gently moving kelp strands, utilizing the dense underwater foliage to skillfully evade Tom's persistent pursuit and escape imminent capture. An underwater kelp forest stretches upward, its tall green kelp strands gently swaying and undulating in a hypnotic rhythm underwater. Jerry, the brown mouse, quickly swims upward, skillfully weaving through the gently swaying kelp strands. Following closely, Tom, the blue-gray cat, swims upward rapidly, paws desperately outstretched to grasp Jerry, yet consistently failing as Jerry remains just out of reach. Jerry continues his swift, upward escape through the water, maintaining a focused and determined demeanor as he adeptly maneuvers through the thick kelp, always narrowly avoiding Tom's determined efforts to finally capture him, his movements quick and precise. Underwater, Jerry, the brown mouse, quickly darts to the left, swimming rapidly with agile and determined strokes. Tom, the blue-gray cat, follows closely behind, intensely pursuing Jerry in a heated underwater chase. Jerry swiftly manages to swim off-screen to the left, disappearing into safety beyond the visible boundary. Tom visibly slows, appearing deeply frustrated and exasperated, his expression showing disappointment and irritation as he realizes that Jerry has effectively escaped, once again eluding his grasp despite the vigorous effort and determination that characterized Tom's intense pursuit throughout this tense underwater chase sequence. Underwater, Jerry, the brown mouse, swiftly swims through vivid clusters of orange and purple coral formations, frequently glancing nervously behind him to gauge his distance from his pursuer. Following closely behind, Tom, the blue-gray cat, navigates carefully around intricate coral structures, swimming swiftly yet strategically. Tom exhibits a clear and unwavering determination in his pursuit, his eyes sharply focused on capturing Jerry. Jerry, meanwhile, continues moving with agility and speed, expertly utilizing the coral reef's complexity as cover, his eyes filled with anxious awareness and urgency as he strives to evade Tom's persistent and determined underwater chase. Underwater, outside the wooden shipwreck, Jerry, the brown mouse, swiftly swims in from the left side of the screen, his movements precise and determined. Approaching directly, he navigates skillfully toward a dark hole in the side of the shipwreck, which is covered partially by layers of coral and seaweed gently swaying with the underwater currents. Without hesitation, Jerry slips through the hole and disappears into the ship's shadowy interior. The aged wooden planks and moss-covered surface of the shipwreck enhance the mysterious atmosphere as Jerry carefully moves inside, suggesting anticipation and careful urgency in his movements as he vanishes within. Underwater, outside the wooden shipwreck, Tom, the blue-gray cat, swims swiftly into the scene from the left, showing determined urgency as he searches diligently for Jerry. With careful inspection, Tom peeks into various holes and crevices scattered along the damaged wooden hull, occasionally pausing to closely examine an opening, only to move on with visible frustration after finding nothing. Tom's expression gradually shifts from determined to confused and increasingly frustrated as his thorough search fails to reveal Jerry's hiding spot. His movements slow, becoming calmer and more deliberate as he methodically continues inspecting and searching around the shipwreck's exterior, determined yet clearly baffled. An old wooden shipwreck lies quietly underwater on the sandy ocean floor, partially submerged in sand, and overgrown by vibrant coral, seaweed, and algae. Jerry, the brown mouse, swims swiftly through a wide opening in the damaged hull, entering the shadowy interior of the wreck. Inside, Jerry pauses briefly, anxiously scanning the dimly-lit interior of the vessel, his eyes wide with cautious anticipation. He quickly retrieves a parchment map and examines it closely, verifying the marked red X location carefully. Confident but alert, Jerry carefully rolls up the map again and continues swimming deeper into the shadowy depths of the shipwreck, resolutely pursuing his goal. Inside the underwater shipwreck, Jerry, the brown mouse, swims cautiously toward a closed wooden door located in a dimly lit corridor, the interior filled with scattered debris and floating particles illuminated by beams of filtered sunlight. Jerry reaches out slowly and pushes the old wooden door open, the door creaking slightly as it reveals the mysterious room beyond. Carefully, Jerry peers inside, his cautious expression shifting instantly to one of joyful surprise. His eyes widen dramatically with excitement and wonder, clearly captivated by something extraordinary within the revealed chamber, heightening the sense of curiosity and intrigue within the scene.

His eyes sparkle joyfully, and a wide smile spreads across his face, clearly mesmerized and enchanted by the sight of the dazzling treasure. Jerry's excitement and delight grow visibly, captivated completely by the wealth and beauty discovered in this hidden underwater chamber. Underwater, outside the shipwreck, Tom, the blue-gray cat, swims anxiously back and forth, continuously peering with frustrated urgency into various openings and cracks in the wooden hull of the sunken ship. His expression is tense and increasingly agitated, clearly indicating a desperate search for something—or someone. Tom's eyes scan each dark opening repeatedly, his whiskers twitching nervously, as frustration grows with each unsuccessful attempt to find Jerry. His movements become more vigorous yet increasingly exasperated, capturing Tom's rising impatience and desperation as he remains intent on locating Jerry's elusive hiding place somewhere within the shipwreck's mysterious interior.

Tom persistently examines each crevice methodically, visibly irritated by Jerry's successful evasion. Despite his determination, Tom's frustration is evident in his increasingly tense posture and rapid movements as he continues his thorough but futile search around the shipwreck, clearly determined yet baffled by Jerry's skillful disappearance within the underwater vessel. Underwater, outside the shipwreck, Tom, the blue-gray cat, swims back and forth with restless irritation. Suddenly, from a large opening in the shipwreck, a large silver shark emerges ominously, eyes locking directly onto Tom, the blue-gray cat.

$‼️Candace Owens Targets The BIZARRE Behavior Of Charlie Kirk's Inner Circle—Why Did NO ONE In Charlie Kirk’s Inner Circle CALL 911? Candace Owens demands answers. On her podcast, Candace Owens absolutely tore into the official story surrounding the Charlie Kirk case, pointing out massive, undeniable cracks in the timeline and calling out the deeply bizarre behavior of the Turning Point team. If you thought the narrative surrounding the suspect, Tyler Robinson, made perfect sense, you need to look at the details she just brought to light. Here are the 4 biggest bombshells from her breakdown: 1️⃣ Frank Turek’s Alibi Just Completely Cracked Frank Turek previously told Megyn Kelly that his phone was on a continuous, uninterrupted FaceTime call with his 35-year-old son from the exact moment of the event, all through the hospital transition, until he finally got back to his hotel. However, Pastor Jack Hibbs just accidentally blew that entire timeline wide open. In a recent sit-down recapping the event with Turek, Hibbs revealed that he received a phone call directly from Frank right after they arrived at the hospital emergency room. Turek visibly froze on camera as the contradiction landed. How do you make a separate call to Jack Hibbs if your phone was supposedly locked into a single, continuous family FaceTime call the entire time? 2️⃣ "Where is the Physical Evidence Against Tyler Robinson?" Candace highlighted that the state has virtually zero concrete physical evidence linking Tyler to the crime. While the public is constantly reminded that Robinson owned the gun, the state conveniently ignores that there are five other sets of prints on that weapon. Furthermore, the police failed to perform a basic Gunshot Residue (GSR) test to prove he even fired a weapon that day, bomb dogs completely failed to locate the gun in the field, and the crime scene was expeditiously paved over. She argues it is completely unconvincing that a "genius" student with a 4.0+ GPA would immediately write out a massive, detailed text and Discord confession narrative, only to leave a physical note hidden right under his keyboard. 3️⃣ Inexplicable Behavior from the Inner Circle When the incident occurred, not a single person in the inner circle called 911. Instead of building redundancy to reach emergency services, Mikey walked away and called his wife, while Blake Knaft called his mother. Meanwhile, Terrell was busy taking down cameras immediately after recording himself. Candace didn't hold back: "Why haven't you fired Terrell just for recording himself? ... You're fired for being a scumbag." She noted a unsettling shift in energy: At the initial memorial, the TPUSA team looked "healthy, renewed, and refreshed," even giggling during a night out at Charlie's favorite restaurant. But now that real questions are being asked, the visible stress, anger, and panic are taking over. 4️⃣ The Rigged Microphone Theory Outlining a deeply disruptive alternative theory, Candace questioned if Charlie Kirk's Rode microphone was actually a rigged device. The official story from TPUSA claimed they were running a brand-new live stream back to the office to cut clips expeditiously. However, Candace revealed that despite asking around, absolutely no one at the Turning Point USA office can actually confirm ever seeing or watching this supposed live stream. Where is the footage? "Objectively speaking, the actions of the Turning Point USA team look infinitely more suspicious to me than Tyler Robinson's." The corporate narrative is fracturing in real-time, and the demand for real transparency is reaching a boiling point. FOLLOW Candace Owens, RT this, and watch her full episode linked below. The official story has never looked weaker. ⚠️My channel is under coordinated attack to bankrupt and silence this investigation into the Charlie Kirk assassination.

Orson Welles: "Shakespeare said everything. Poetry has since then been neither necessary nor possible because when you can make the dawn over Elsinore with a lantern and a pot of paint there's no call for having a character stop in the middle of the action and say a line like, "But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill," even supposing you could write a line like it. You can't see and hear beauty, fully, at the same time... because poetry is its own scenery and because we've stuck to physical scenery and isolated our actor from his audience...we've stuck to prose. Before the Restoration, theatres were courtyards around platforms where you went to hear and be heard. Since then they've been birthday cakes in front of picture-frames where you go to see and to be seen...". "Shakespeare said everything. Brain to belly; every mood and minute of a man’s season. His language is starlight and fireflies and the sun and moon. He wrote it with tears and blood and beer, and his words march like heartbeats. He speaks to everyone and we all claim him but it’s wise to remember, if we would really appreciate him, that he doesn’t properly belong to us but to another world; a florid and entirely remarkable world that smelled assertively of columbine and gun powder and printer’s ink, and was vigorously dominated by Elizabeth. Shakespeare speaks everybody’s language, but with an Elizabethan accent. When he came squawking and red faced into it, England could carry a tune and was learning to talk. It was a kid of a country, waking up noisily and too suddenly into adolescence and bounding blithely into the sunny, early morning of modern times. About sixty years earlier, Columbus had bumped into a couple of new continents and the Conquistadors were busy opening them up and exploiting them. Down in Italy things had been happening. Men had taken the hoods of the dusty, dusky old Middle Ages off their heads and had begun to look around. Questions were being asked; books were being written instead of copied; people had stopped taking Aristotle’s word for it and were nosing about the world, taking it apart to see what made it run. All kinds of old established convictions were being questioned and money in huge sums was being made. By the time Shakespeare was a butcher’s boy in Stratford, all of this bustle and uncertainty and excitement had gotten across the channel and into the moist English air. An extraordinary woman was in charge and she was gathering about her throne still more extraordinary men. England was getting up on its hind legs. The touring companies of actors that came to Stratford still played rusty things that smacked of the old Moralities and the Miracle plays, but down in London real shows were being put on in place of masques and roustabouts and these plays were about real people instead of virtues and vices and other symbolic figures that never actually lived. By the time Shakespeare was married and teaching school, the Theatre, already the most complete expression of the times, was well started on a golden age. Peele and Greene and Lodge and Nash were turning out smash-hits. Kyd was busy with blood-and-thunder shockers like The Spanish Tragedy. Lyly was discovering that good plays could be written in prose and Marlowe was making dramatic poetry worth writing. The Theatre, along with a lot of other high doings, was in the air. So Shakespeare kissed his wife goodbye and went to London. London and the wide world are very lucky that he did. It was almost as though America was discovered, Elizabeth made Queen, and pirates and poets and other valorous people congregated in one age just so the young schoolteacher would come to London and we could have William Shakespeare. To know something about Shakespeare we must know something about that England in which he was born; still more important we must know something of that peculiarly pure theatre he found in London and for which he wrote. It was neither new nor clumsy. It was not a rude thing but rather, like the classic theatres and the theatres of high convention in China and Japan, a refinement. England’s stage came out of the church when the actors got too entertaining. It lingered for a couple of hundred years in front of it in the marketplace and then moved into the inn yard where it stayed until it got over being a holiday treat and became an institution and they built the first theatre. This was simply an inn yard fixed up for a play but without the inn. The stage platform was made permanent with a roof over it to protect the actors but the rabblement still had to stand around this platform in the rain or sun. An inner stage with a curtain and a level above it like a gallery was added inside. Benches were built in the spectators’ galleries where you sat if you had money and in veils if you were a lady, and there, with only slight elaboration over its daddy, the hotel courtyard, was the Elizabethan playhouse." Orson Welles's introduction to The Mercury Shakespeare, 1934 Audio: Hamlet - Orson Welles, Mercury 1936 ’Tis gone. We do it wrong, being so majestical, To offer it the show of violence It was about to speak when the cock crew. And then it started like a guilty thing Upon a fearful summons. But look, the morn in russet mantle clad Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastward hill.

Akira Kurosawa on his experience watching 'Solaris' (1972) & drinking vodka with Andrei Tarkovsky in Moscow: "I met Tarkovsky for the first time when I attended my welcome luncheon at the Mosfilm during my first visit to Soviet Russia. He was small, thin, looked a little frail, and at the same time exceptionally intelligent, and unusually shrewd and sensitive. I thought he somehow resembled Toru Takemitsu, but I don’t know why. Then he excused himself saying, “I still have work to do,” and disappeared, and after a while I heard such a big explosion as to make all the glass windows of the dining hall tremble hard. Seeing me taken aback, the boss of the Mosfilm said with a meaningful smile: “You know another world war does not break out. Tarkovsky just launched a rocket. This work with Tarkovsky, however, has proved a Great War for me.” That was the way I knew Tarkovsky was shooting 'Solaris' (1972). After the luncheon party, I visited his set for Solaris. There it was. I saw a burnt down rocket was there at the corner of the space station set. I am sorry I forgot to ask him as to how he had shot the launching of the rocket on the set. The set of the satellite base was beautifully made at a huge cost, for it was all made up of thick duralumin. It glittered in its cold metallic silver light, and I found light rays of red, or blue or green delicately winking or waving from electric light bulbs buried in the gagues on the equipment lined up in there. And above on the ceiling of the corridor ran two duralumin rails from which hanged a small wheel of a camera which could move around freely inside the satellite base. Tarkovsky guided me around the set, explaining to me as cheerfully as a young boy who is given a golden opportunity to show someone his favorite toybox. Bondarchuk, who came with me, asked him about the cost of the set, and left his eyes wide open when Tarkovsky answered it. The cost was so huge: about six hundred million yen as to make Bondarchuk, who directed that grand spectacle of a movie “War and Peace,” agape in wonder. Now I came to fully realize why the boss of the Mosfilm said it was “a Great War for me.” But it takes a huge talent and effort to spend such a huge cost. Thinking “This is a tremendous task” I closely gazed at his back when he was leading me around the set in enthusiasm. Concerning Solaris, I find many people complaining that it is too long, but I do not think so. They especially find too lengthy the description of nature in the introductory scenes, but these layers of memory of farewell to this earthly nature submerge themselves deep below the bottom of the story after the main character has been sent in a rocket into the satellite station base in the universe, and they almost torture the soul of the viewer like a kind of irresistible nostalghia toward mother earth nature, which resembles homesickness. Without the presence of beautiful nature sequences on earth as a long introduction, you could not make the audience directly conceive the sense of having-no-way-out harboured by the people “jailed” inside the satellite base. I saw this film late at night in a preview room in Moscow for the first time, and soon I felt my heart aching in agony with a longing to returning to the earth as quickly as possible. Marvellous progress in science we have been enjoying, but where will it lead humanity after all? Sheer fearful emotion this film succeeds in conjuring up in our soul. Without it, a science fiction movie would be nothing more than a petty fancy. These thoughts came and went while I was gazing at the screen. Tarkovsky was together with me then. He was at the corner of the studio. When the film was over, he stood up, looking at me as if he felt timid. I said to him, “Very good. It makes me feel real fear.” Tarkovsky smiled shyly, but happily. And we toasted vodka at the restaurant in the Film Institute. Tarkovsky, who didn’t drink usually, drank a lot of vodka, and went so far as to turn off the speaker from which music had floated into the restaurant, and began to sing the theme of samurai from Seven Samurai at the top of his voice. As if to rival him, I joined in. For I was at that moment very happy to find myself living on Earth. Solaris makes a viewer feel this, and even this single fact shows us that Solaris is no ordinary SF film. It truly somehow provokes pure horror in our soul. And it is under the total grip of the deep insights of Tarkovsky. There must be many, many things still unknown to humanity in this world: the abyss of the cosmos which a man had to look into, strange visitors in the satellite base, time running in reverse, from death to life, strangely moving sense of levitation, his home which is in the mind of the main character in the satellite station is wet and soaked with water. It seems to me to be sweat and tears that in his heartbreaking agony he squeezed out of his whole being. And what makes us shudder is the shot of the location of Akasakamitsuke, Tokyo, Japan. By a skillful use of mirrors, he turned flows of head lights and tail lamps of cars, multiplied and amplified, into a vintage image of the future city. Every shot of Solaris bears witness to the almost dazzling talents inherent in Tarkovsky. Many people grumble that Tarkovsky’s films are difficult, but I don’t think so. His films just show how extraordinarily sensitive Tarkovsky is. He made a film titled 'Mirror' (1975) after Solaris. Mirror deals with his cherished memories in his childhood, and many people say again it is disturbingly difficult. Yes, at a glance, it seems to have no rational development in its storytelling. But we have to remember: it is impossible that in our soul our childhood memories should arrange themselves in a static, logical sequence. A strange train of fragments of early memory images shattered and broken can bring about the poetry in our infancy. Once you are convinced of its truthfulness, you may find Mirror the easiest film to understand. But Tarkovsky remains silent, without saying things like that at all. His very attitude makes me believe that he has wonderful potentials in his future. There can be no bright future for those who are ready to explain everything about their own film."

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC - Reporting Window: 3/19 to 3/20 • Israel widened the strike set inside Iran again, hitting regime infrastructure in Tehran and other cities, while Iranian and Israeli reporting indicated strikes tied to Parchin, Arak, Kerman, Isfahan, Bandar e Lengeh, and northern maritime infrastructure. Iranian state media also said IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini was killed. • Iran kept up repeated missile pressure on Israel with at least eight attack waves during the day, including fresh central and northern barrages, a hit on the Haifa refinery, and cluster impacts in Rehovot. • The Gulf energy war moved from shock to quantified long term damage after Reuters reported that strikes have knocked out 17% of Qatar’s LNG export capacity for an estimated three to five years. • Washington is pushing harder to reopen Hormuz, with Jerusalem Post reporting that A-10s and Apache helicopters are now actively hunting Iranian fast attack craft and one way attack drones on the southern flank. • Lebanon remained fully active, with Israel pressing Hezbollah farther north, striking bridges and financial infrastructure, while Hezbollah kept up rocket fire into the Galilee and confrontation line communities. The past 24 hours were defined by three concrete changes. First, Israel kept pushing the regime-targeting campaign inside Iran, while Netanyahu publicly argued Tehran can no longer enrich uranium or build missiles. Second, Iran maintained a high-frequency missile rhythm into Israel, especially the center and north, even if the salvo sizes remain smaller than the early-war pattern. Third, the Hormuz front became more operationally explicit, with U.S. airpower now openly being described as hunting maritime and drone threats rather than simply deterring them from range. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 IRAN: ISRAEL KEPT PUSHING UP THE REGIME LADDER The clearest military development was the continued broad strike pattern inside Iran. Israeli reporting indicated another wide strike wave across Tehran and multiple provincial targets, while Iranian media said IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini was killed. Times of Israel’s live coverage also tied that to the larger Israeli claim that Iran can no longer enrich uranium or manufacture ballistic missiles at meaningful scale, a claim Netanyahu repeated publicly on Thursday. Open source intelligence reporting tracked the same pattern in real time, with repeated references to strikes across Tehran, central Iran, and Bandar e Lengeh, plus reporting around Caspian-facing assets and internal security targets. The exact damage at every site remains uneven in open reporting, but the broader point is clear: this was another multi-city infrastructure wave, not a single symbolic hit. Why this matters: Israel still does not appear to be in a wind-down phase. It is continuing to widen target categories inside Iran, including command, propaganda, maritime, and military-support infrastructure. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 ISRAEL: EIGHT ATTACK WAVES, REHOVOT HITS, AND THE NORTH UNDER PRESSURE The missile story today is not just that Iran kept firing. It is that it kept repeating the pattern across the day. Ynet reported an eighth Iranian attack wave since morning, with missiles targeting central and northern Israel and a home in Rehovot catching fire. Times of Israel’s live coverage separately reported two lightly wounded in a cluster impact in Rehovot, while Reuters reported a hit at the Haifa refinery that caused localized damage and a brief power disruption. Open source intelligence mirror that picture strongly. It tracked a very broad northern alert footprint overnight, including Haifa Bay, the Galilee, the Golan, Kiryat Shmona, and other confrontation line communities. It also showed concurrent Hezbollah fire into the north during part of the same window. Why this matters: Iran is still not restoring early-war barrage size. But it is maintaining tactical pressure through repetition, cluster effects, and geographic spread. The center and north were both under meaningful stress in this window. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇱🇧 LEBANON: ISRAEL IS PUSHING HEZBOLLAH NORTH, BUT THE FRONT IS STILL ACTIVE The Lebanon front remains deeply relevant to the daily operational picture. The Jerusalem Post reported that Israel is pushing Hezbollah farther north in Lebanon, buying time but not yet real security. Reuters also described continued strikes on Litani River crossings and Hezbollah-linked infrastructure. Open reporting from the IDF side continued to emphasize strikes on launchers, logistics buildings, and al-Qard al-Hasan financial nodes, which Israel regards as part of Hezbollah’s operational backbone. At the same time, Times of Israel’s live coverage reported Hezbollah rocket fire into the Galilee, and your files showed continued sirens around Kiryat Shmona and surrounding communities. That means this is not a one-way Israeli shaping campaign. Hezbollah still retains enough firepower to keep the northern home front active even as Israel pushes the line northward. Why this matters: The northern front is still not stabilizing. Israel may be improving the tactical geometry, but the home-front pressure problem has not disappeared. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛢 GULF ENERGY WAR: THE DAMAGE IS NOW MEASURABLE, AND THE THREATS ARE CONTINUING Reuters reported that the strikes on Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex have knocked out 17% of Qatar’s LNG export capacity for three to five years. That is not a temporary disruption story anymore. It is now a medium-term supply loss story with major implications for Asia and Europe. At the same time, Al Jazeera’s live coverage and other regional reporting indicate Tehran is still explicitly warning that strikes will intensify if more energy infrastructure is targeted. Open source intelligence sources also continued to track fire and damage reporting around Qatari gas infrastructure and broader Gulf-site alerts. Newly released satellite-image reporting also supports the scale argument. The visible damage footprint now spans multiple countries and sectors, reinforcing that this is no longer just a shipping or tanker story but a regional infrastructure war. Why this matters: The energy front is no longer just a lever of pressure. It is now a source of lasting physical damage with global supply implications. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇺🇸 HORMUZ: THE U.S. IS NOW FIGHTING THE MARITIME BATTLE MORE OPENLY This is one of the most important additions from today’s news cycle. The Jerusalem Post reported that A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft are now hunting Iranian fast-attack craft in the Strait of Hormuz, while AH-64 Apaches and allied helicopters are handling one-way attack drones along the southern flank. CENTCOM video also showed direct strikes on Iranian naval assets threatening shipping. That matters because it moves the Hormuz story out of the realm of diplomatic coalition talk alone. The U.S. is now describing an active, tactical maritime fight against Iranian disruption capabilities. Why this matters: The Hormuz front is no longer just about deterrence. It is now about active suppression of Iranian naval and drone threats in and around the strait. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛️ POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC SHIFTS: ENDGAME GAPS ARE GETTING CLEARER Times of Israel reported that Netanyahu said Iran can no longer enrich uranium or build missiles and that Israel is holding off further energy-site strikes at Trump’s request. Reuters reporting already pointed to growing daylight between U.S. and Israeli endgame preferences, and today’s coverage makes that divergence easier to see. The diplomatic picture also hardened in Israel’s favor in one important respect. The Jerusalem Post reported that six additional countries designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization after discussions with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. That does not change the battlefield directly, but it does matter politically, especially if the war stretches on and sanctions or legal pressure become more important. Why this matters: The battlefield may still be aligned between Washington and Jerusalem, but the political end state is being defined differently, and Israel is still trying to widen the diplomatic cost for the IRGC internationally. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏠 ISRAELI HOME FRONT: CIVILIAN AND INTERNAL SECURITY PRESSURE REMAINS REAL Two domestic stories are worth noting briefly. First, Ynet reported that from Tuesday, holiday school will operate only in “yellow” areas that choose to open. That is a reminder that the civilian normalization story remains partial and geographically uneven. Second, Times of Israel reported that an Iron Dome reservist was indicted for spying for Iran and allegedly passed details about Iron Dome, Israeli air bases, and battery locations to Iranian intelligence. That is not a battlefield event, but it is an important internal-security story in the middle of an active missile war. Why this matters: The war is still being fought on the home front not only through sirens and impacts, but also through educational disruption and espionage risk. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW 1️⃣ Israel kept widening the regime target set inside Iran. This was another broad infrastructure and command-layer strike wave, not a limited aftershock. 2️⃣ Iran maintained high-frequency missile pressure on Israel. Eight waves in a day, cluster impacts in Rehovot, and a Haifa refinery hit show that lower volume still does not mean low danger. 3️⃣ The Hormuz fight is now more openly operational. A-10s and Apaches are not diplomatic signaling. They are evidence that the U.S. is directly suppressing Iranian maritime disruption assets. 4️⃣ The Gulf energy war is now a lasting damage story. Ras Laffan is not just disrupted. It is materially degraded for years. Bottom line: The last 24 hours were not just another round of attrition. Israel kept pressing deeper into regime infrastructure, Iran sustained repeated pressure on the Israeli home front, the U.S. made the Hormuz battle more overt, and the Gulf energy war became more durable and harder to contain.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you wanted to see Trudeau’s house of cards start to collapse, yesterdays Question Period was it. What we saw was Liberal arrogance in full bloom, completely detached from the struggles of everyday Canadians. This government, led by Justin Trudeau, is hanging on by a thread, propped up by the NDP and their delusional belief that taxing people into poverty will somehow save the planet. Let’s walk through the insanity that unfolded today. Carbon Tax Insanity: Trudeau’s Cronies Keep Selling the Same Lie First, we had Ben Carr, MP for Winnipeg South Centre, grinning like a man who thinks you’re too stupid to realize what’s happening. He was bragging about Manitobans getting $300 rebates on October 15th, thanks to the Canada Carbon Rebate. And then there’s Jaime Battiste, the Liberal MP for Sydney–Victoria, boasting that Nova Scotians will get $206. Isn’t that great? A few hundred bucks to cover the massive hole the carbon tax is blowing in your wallet. But here’s what they won’t tell you—and what the Conservatives were quick to point out: the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) has exposed their game. Sure, they give you a couple of crumbs, but by the time Trudeau's carbon tax has fully ramped up, families in Saskatchewan will be $2,000 poorer every year. They want you to focus on a small rebate while they reach into your pocket and take thousands. It’s like robbing you blind and tossing you a handful of change as a consolation prize. And the man leading this con? Steven Guilbeault, Trudeau’s Minister of Environment. He had the nerve to selectively quote the PBO report, claiming Canadians will come out ahead. He forgot to mention that, by 2030, you’ll be getting crushed under the weight of this tax, and big polluters—the ones he claims to be targeting—are getting sweetheart deals. This is the Liberal lie at its core: "We’re saving the planet," they say, while making your life unbearable. Conservatives Hammer the Government on Corruption If that wasn’t enough, Conservative MPs took aim at the NDP-Liberal swamp propping up Trudeau’s latest scandal—this time involving a $400 million slush fund for Liberal insiders. Bob Zimmer, MP for Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies, went after Steven Guilbeault again, accusing him of obstructing justice by refusing to turn over documents related to the Sustainable Development Technology Canada fiasco. This is classic Liberal corruption—they take your tax dollars and funnel it straight into their cronies’ pockets, while ordinary Canadians are left wondering how they’ll pay for their heating bills this winter. Andrew Scheer Takes on the Justice Minister: Liberals Soft on Terrorism At the 20-minute mark, things got even more heated. Andrew Scheer, the MP for Regina—Qu'Appelle, sparred with Justice Minister Arif Virani over the Trudeau government’s failure to act quickly on listing terrorist organizations like the Houthi rebels. Scheer slammed the Liberals for their sluggishness, pointing out that the Houthi group has been responsible for attacks on civilian ships and openly supports violence. Virani fumbled through his response, offering some weak excuse about an "expedited review" process. But Scheer wasn't having it, hammering the government for its typical pattern of inaction. Pro-Houthi protests in Vancouver have already involved chants of "Death to Canada," but still, Trudeau’s government is dragging its feet . This was yet another example of the Liberals’ soft-on-national-security approach, leaving Canadians vulnerable while radicals are allowed to operate freely. Farmers Under Siege: Trudeau’s Tax is Destroying Agriculture But the most jaw-dropping part of the day? That was when John Barlow, MP for Foothills, exposed how Trudeau’s carbon tax is crushing Canadian farmers. He laid it all out: Farmers are already dealing with floods, droughts, and rising costs, and now the carbon tax is driving up fuel prices, making it impossible to survive. Canadian agriculture is on the verge of collapse, but all Guilbeault and Trudeau can do is prattle on about how “climate change” is the real enemy. Here’s the truth, folks: Trudeau’s carbon tax does nothing to reduce emissions, but it devastates farmers and makes your food even more expensive. But Steven Guilbeault? He’s too busy appeasing his eco-radical pals to care. Mental Health Day: Liberals Make It Worse with Free Drug Policies We also had Peter Julian, MP for New Westminster–Burnaby, talking about World Mental Health Day, acknowledging the struggles of public safety employees. Now, don’t get me wrong, mental health is important—especially for public safety workers—but let’s talk about the mental health crisis Trudeau’s government is creating with its policies. When people can’t afford their bills, when they’re watching their paychecks get devoured by inflation, and when they see no future because of policies like the carbon tax, it’s no wonder mental health is deteriorating across the board. Yet, the Liberals don’t seem to care—especially when it comes to the disaster in British Columbia, led by David Eby, the NDP Premier. His “safe supply” policy—handing out free drugs to people struggling with addiction—is making things worse, not better. We’re seeing it right now: homelessness is skyrocketing, overdose rates are out of control, and instead of helping people get clean, they’re pushing them deeper into addiction. The Trudeau Liberals support this madness, and guess what? They’re ready to spread this destructive policy nationwide. The Trudeau Agenda: A Slow, Steady Destruction of Canada Let’s not mince words: Trudeau’s government is a train wreck. They distract you with token rebates, sell you on climate propaganda, and line their pockets while Canada burns. Today’s Question Period showed us how far the rot has gone. The Liberals want you to believe they’re looking out for you while they steal your money, destroy your jobs, and fuel addiction in your communities. And they do it all with a smile, thinking you’ll be too distracted by their virtue-signaling to notice the carnage. Bottom Line: The Trudeau Liberals are playing a dangerous game with Canada’s future. Steven Guilbeault and his carbon tax will bankrupt this country if they get their way. David Eby’s free drug policies will create a nation of addicts. And the NDP-Liberal cartel will keep propping up Trudeau because they know they can’t survive an election where Canadians finally get to have their say. It’s time to take back Canada from these corrupt elites before they’ve destroyed it beyond repair.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you wanted to see Trudeau’s house of cards start to collapse, yesterdays Question Period was it. What we saw was Liberal arrogance in full bloom, completely detached from the struggles of everyday Canadians. This government, led by Justin Trudeau, is hanging on by a thread, propped up by the NDP and their delusional belief that taxing people into poverty will somehow save the planet. Let’s walk through the insanity that unfolded today. Carbon Tax Insanity: Trudeau’s Cronies Keep Selling the Same Lie First, we had Ben Carr, MP for Winnipeg South Centre, grinning like a man who thinks you’re too stupid to realize what’s happening. He was bragging about Manitobans getting $300 rebates on October 15th, thanks to the Canada Carbon Rebate. And then there’s Jaime Battiste, the Liberal MP for Sydney–Victoria, boasting that Nova Scotians will get $206. Isn’t that great? A few hundred bucks to cover the massive hole the carbon tax is blowing in your wallet. But here’s what they won’t tell you—and what the Conservatives were quick to point out: the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) has exposed their game. Sure, they give you a couple of crumbs, but by the time Trudeau's carbon tax has fully ramped up, families in Saskatchewan will be $2,000 poorer every year. They want you to focus on a small rebate while they reach into your pocket and take thousands. It’s like robbing you blind and tossing you a handful of change as a consolation prize. And the man leading this con? Steven Guilbeault, Trudeau’s Minister of Environment. He had the nerve to selectively quote the PBO report, claiming Canadians will come out ahead. He forgot to mention that, by 2030, you’ll be getting crushed under the weight of this tax, and big polluters—the ones he claims to be targeting—are getting sweetheart deals. This is the Liberal lie at its core: "We’re saving the planet," they say, while making your life unbearable. Conservatives Hammer the Government on Corruption If that wasn’t enough, Conservative MPs took aim at the NDP-Liberal swamp propping up Trudeau’s latest scandal—this time involving a $400 million slush fund for Liberal insiders. Bob Zimmer, MP for Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies, went after Steven Guilbeault again, accusing him of obstructing justice by refusing to turn over documents related to the Sustainable Development Technology Canada fiasco. This is classic Liberal corruption—they take your tax dollars and funnel it straight into their cronies’ pockets, while ordinary Canadians are left wondering how they’ll pay for their heating bills this winter. Andrew Scheer Takes on the Justice Minister: Liberals Soft on Terrorism At the 20-minute mark, things got even more heated. Andrew Scheer, the MP for Regina—Qu'Appelle, sparred with Justice Minister Arif Virani over the Trudeau government’s failure to act quickly on listing terrorist organizations like the Houthi rebels. Scheer slammed the Liberals for their sluggishness, pointing out that the Houthi group has been responsible for attacks on civilian ships and openly supports violence. Virani fumbled through his response, offering some weak excuse about an "expedited review" process. But Scheer wasn't having it, hammering the government for its typical pattern of inaction. Pro-Houthi protests in Vancouver have already involved chants of "Death to Canada," but still, Trudeau’s government is dragging its feet . This was yet another example of the Liberals’ soft-on-national-security approach, leaving Canadians vulnerable while radicals are allowed to operate freely. Farmers Under Siege: Trudeau’s Tax is Destroying Agriculture But the most jaw-dropping part of the day? That was when John Barlow, MP for Foothills, exposed how Trudeau’s carbon tax is crushing Canadian farmers. He laid it all out: Farmers are already dealing with floods, droughts, and rising costs, and now the carbon tax is driving up fuel prices, making it impossible to survive. Canadian agriculture is on the verge of collapse, but all Guilbeault and Trudeau can do is prattle on about how “climate change” is the real enemy. Here’s the truth, folks: Trudeau’s carbon tax does nothing to reduce emissions, but it devastates farmers and makes your food even more expensive. But Steven Guilbeault? He’s too busy appeasing his eco-radical pals to care. Mental Health Day: Liberals Make It Worse with Free Drug Policies We also had Peter Julian, MP for New Westminster–Burnaby, talking about World Mental Health Day, acknowledging the struggles of public safety employees. Now, don’t get me wrong, mental health is important—especially for public safety workers—but let’s talk about the mental health crisis Trudeau’s government is creating with its policies. When people can’t afford their bills, when they’re watching their paychecks get devoured by inflation, and when they see no future because of policies like the carbon tax, it’s no wonder mental health is deteriorating across the board.

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC Reporting Window: March 20, 2026 – March 22, 2026 (through 12:00 PM ET) • Mar 22, early morning (≈03:00–06:00 local / Mar 21, 8:00–11:00 PM ET): Iran launched ballistic missiles at Arad and Dimona, causing mass casualties and exposing a failed interception near one of Israel’s most sensitive strategic zones • Mar 21–22: The U.S. escalated Hormuz posture, with threats to strike Iranian power plants and active operations against Iranian maritime assets • Mar 21–22 overnight: Israel conducted another wide strike wave across Iran, hitting arms production, intelligence, and command infrastructure in Tehran and beyond • Mar 21–22: Lebanon intensified again, with Hezbollah rocket fire killing an Israeli civilian near Misgav Am and Israel expanding strikes and demolition operations south of the Litani • Mar 20–22: Gulf energy damage from Ras Laffan strikes was quantified, confirming long-term disruption to global LNG supply The last 48 hours were defined by a shift in both geography and escalation logic. The war is no longer moving in a single direction at a time. Southern Israel, the Gulf energy system, Tehran, and southern Lebanon all saw meaningful activity within the same window. At the same time, Washington moved from coalition pressure to direct deterrence language, while Israel continued to expand its strike envelope inside Iran. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 SOUTHERN ISRAEL: A NEW AXIS OPENED (MAR 22 EARLY HOURS) Mar 22, ~03:30 local time (Mar 21, ~8:30 PM ET): Iranian ballistic missiles struck Arad and Dimona, marking the most sensitive geographic shift of the war in this window. Reuters reported dozens wounded in both locations, including a direct hit on a residential building in Arad and additional injuries in Dimona. Israeli reporting placed total casualties in the 80+ range in Arad and dozens more in Dimona. The IDF confirmed at least one missile was not intercepted, and the failure is under investigation. This matters because: • Dimona sits near Israel’s nuclear research complex • This is the first major southern-axis strike of this scale in the war • It reflects longer-range Iranian missile capability being used in this phase Why this matters: Iran has now demonstrated it can pressure north, center, and south simultaneously, not sequentially. That changes the defensive problem for Israel. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ HORMUZ: FROM DETERRENCE TO ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT (MAR 21–22) Mar 21–22: The Hormuz front moved into a more explicit operational phase. Reuters reported that Trump threatened to strike Iranian power plants within 48 hours if Hormuz is not reopened. Iran responded by threatening retaliation against U.S. and Gulf infrastructure. At the same time, Israeli and U.S. reporting confirmed: • A-10 aircraft targeting Iranian fast-attack craft • Apache helicopters engaging one-way attack drones • CENTCOM releasing footage of direct strikes on Iranian naval assets Why this matters: This is no longer just a naval presence or escort mission. It is an active suppression campaign against Iran’s ability to disrupt the strait. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 IRAN: STRIKE CAMPAIGN REMAINS BROAD AND SYSTEMIC (MAR 21–22 OVERNIGHT) Mar 21–22 overnight (Tehran local time): Israel conducted another wide strike wave inside Iran. Times of Israel reported strikes on: • arms production facilities • intelligence headquarters • military command nodes in Tehran Additional reporting and open-source tracking showed: • activity in Parchin, Arak, Isfahan, and Kerman • maritime-linked targets including Bandar e Lengeh • continued pressure on internal regime infrastructure Israeli leadership also reiterated that Iran can no longer: • enrich uranium • build missiles at scale Why this matters: This is not a tactical cleanup phase. It is an ongoing effort to deny Iran’s ability to regenerate military capacity. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇱🇧 LEBANON: PARALLEL PRESSURE CONTINUES (MAR 21–22) Mar 21 evening – Mar 22 morning: The northern front remained active in both directions. Times of Israel reported: • Hezbollah rocket fire killing a civilian near Misgav Am • sustained fire into northern Israeli communities Reuters reported Israel responded by: • striking bridges over the Litani River • ordering accelerated demolition of frontline homes and crossings • expanding operations in southern Lebanon Open reporting also showed: • continued Israeli strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs • Hezbollah maintaining intermittent fire despite losses Why this matters: Israel is moving beyond reactive strikes and attempting to reshape the southern Lebanon battlespace, while Hezbollah still retains the ability to impose cost. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛢 GULF ENERGY WAR: DAMAGE IS NOW LONG-TERM (MAR 20–22) Mar 20–22: The Gulf energy story shifted from disruption to structural damage. Reuters reported that strikes on Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG complex have: • taken 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity offline • created a 3–5 year recovery timeline • disrupted supply chains across Europe and Asia Additional reporting and open-source tracking showed: • continued fires and damage assessments • warnings from Tehran that strikes will intensify if energy targets are hit Why this matters: This is now a durable global energy disruption, not a short-term market shock. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION: THE WAR IS NOW FULLY MULTI-AXIS Across this window, the war touched: • Southern Israel (Dimona / Arad) • Central Israel (cluster impacts) • Northern Israel (Hezbollah fire) • Tehran and central Iran (strike waves) • Hormuz (active U.S. engagement) • Gulf energy infrastructure (long-term damage) Additional reporting also noted: • missile activity toward Diego Garcia • effects spilling into Jordanian airspace Why this matters: The war is no longer shifting from front to front. It is now active across multiple fronts simultaneously. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW 1️⃣ Iran has expanded its strike geometry. Southern Israel is now fully in play alongside central and northern zones. 2️⃣ The Hormuz fight is now operational, not theoretical. The U.S. is actively targeting Iranian maritime and drone capabilities. 3️⃣ Israel is still widening the target set inside Iran. The campaign remains focused on long-term degradation, not short-term disruption. 4️⃣ The Gulf energy war has become structural. Ras Laffan damage confirms this is now a multi-year impact on global supply. Bottom line This reporting window shows a war that is becoming simultaneously broader and deeper. More fronts are active at once. More sensitive targets are being hit. And both sides are now operating in ways that suggest they are preparing for a longer and more complex phase, not a near-term resolution. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ END OF REPORT

Like seemingly everyone on this app I have plenty of opinions about Twitter > X and figure now is a good time to open up a bit about my experience at the company. I tweeted for years into the void for the love of it like many of you, but after selling my startup to Twitter in 2020 I finally got to see it from the inside. Up close it was both amazing and terrible, like so many other companies and things in life. As someone with a maniacal sense of urgency built into me, Twitter often felt siloed and bureaucratic. Dumb power plays, reorgs and team name changes for the sake of someone’s ego were distractions that occurred too regularly. You couldn’t just be a builder — you also needed to be a politician. I was shocked by how old and bespoke the infrastructure was, but there was little will to think beyond quarterly earnings calls because we were all beholden to the masters of mDAU and revenue growth as a public company. It often felt like things were held together with duct tape and glue, and that many people had just accepted that a small product change could take months or quarters to build. Management had become bloated to accommodate career growth and the company culture felt too soft and entitled for my own taste. Healthy debate and criticism was replaced by a default refrain of “no, that can’t be done” or “another team owns that so don’t touch it”. Teams could spend months building a feature and then some last-minute kerfuffle meant it’d get killed for being too risky. Just talking directly to customers could turn into a turf war and create deadlocks between functions. I recall one such episode where a teammate spent a month trying to get clearance to reach out to some creators. He went through 3 layers of management and 6 different functional teams. In the end 4 executives were involved in the approval. It was insanity, and unfortunately I saw several top performers get burnt out and demoralized after exhausting experiences like that. Most people were good at their jobs but it was nearly impossible to fire poor performers — instead they got shuffled around to other teams because few managers had the will or resources to figure out how to get them out. A high performance culture pulls everyone up, but the opposite weighs everyone down. Twitter often felt like a place that kept squandering its own potential, which was sad and frustrating to see. The person who was best at cutting through the BS and inspiring a vision during my tenure was Kayvon Beykpour, but he wasn’t fully empowered to run the company since he wasn’t the CEO. Despite those real issues, I was lucky enough to work with some of the most talented people in the business at Twitter in product, design, engineering, research, legal, BD, trust & safety, marketing, PR and more. Often it was a small cross-functional team of intrinsically motivated people who made the biggest impact by challenging some core assumption. Those teams were very fun to be on but they felt like the exception rather than the rule. The months of waiting for the deal to close in 2022 were particularly slow and painful; it felt like leadership hid behind lawyers and legal language as all answers about the company’s future notoriously included the phrase “fiduciary duty”. Colleagues openly talked about how Twitter was being sold because leadership didn’t have conviction in their own plan or ability to fix longstanding problems. Although I didn’t know much about Elon I was cautiously optimistic – I saw him as the guy who built incredible and enduring companies like Tesla and SpaceX, so perhaps his private ownership could shake things up and breathe new life into the company. My take on what’s happened since then is full of lived nuance. When people ask why I stayed it’s easy to answer: optimism, curiosity, personal growth and money. From the beginning I saw that some changes Elon was going to make were smart and others were stupid, but when I’m on a team I uphold the philosophy of “praise in public and criticize in private”. I was far from a silent wallflower. I shared my opinions openly and pushed back often, both before and after the acquisition. I made peace with the fact that I didn’t have psychological safety at Twitter 2.0 and that meant I could be fired at any moment, and for no reason at all. I watched it happen repeatedly and saw how negatively it impacted team morale. Although I couldn’t change the situation I did my best to shine a light on folks who were doing important work while being an emotionally supportive leader for those who were struggling to adapt to the more brutalist and hardcore culture. In person Elon is oddly charming and he’s genuinely funny. He also has personality quirks like telling the same stories and jokes over and over. The challenge is his personality and demeanor can turn on a dime going from excited to angry. Since it was hard to read what mood he might be in and what his reaction would be to any given thing, people quickly became afraid of being called into meetings or having to share negative news with him. At times it felt like the inner circle was too zealous and fanatical in their unwavering support of everything he said. When individuals encouraged me to be careful about what I said I politely thanked them and said I would not be taking their advice. I had no interest in adding to a culture of fear or walking on eggshells around Elon. Either he would respect me for being real or he could fire me. Either outcome was okay. I quickly learned that product and business decisions were nearly always the result of him following his gut instinct, and he didn’t seem compelled to seek out or rely on a lot of data or expertise to inform it. That was particularly frustrating for me since I believed I had useful institutional knowledge that could help him make better decisions. Instead he'd poll Twitter, ask a friend, or even ask his biographer for product advice. At times it seemed he trusted random feedback more than the people in the room who spent their lives dedicated to tackling the problem at hand. I never figured out why and remain puzzled by it. I don’t think things had to be as difficult or dramatic as they turned out to be but I can’t say I’d bet against Elon or count him out. He’s smart and has enough money to make a lot of mistakes and then course correct when things go awry. As the largest shareholder he can tank the value in the short-term, but eventually he’ll need things to turn around. His focus on speed is incredible and he’s obviously not afraid of blowing things up, but now the real measure will be how it get reconstructed and if enough people want the new everything app he is building. I learned a ton from watching Elon up close – the good, the bad and the ugly. His boldness, passion and storytelling is inspiring, but his lack of process and empathy is painful. Elon has an exceptional talent for tackling hard physics-based problems but products that facilitate human connection and communication require a different type of social-emotional intelligence. Social networks are hard to kill but they’re not immune from death spirals. Only time will tell what the outcome will be but I hope X finds its footing because competition is good for consumers. In the meantime, I have a lot of empathy for the employees who are working tirelessly behind the scenes, the advertisers who want a stable platform to sell their stuff on, and the customers who are experiencing chaotic updates. It’s been a madhouse. Twitter moved at the speed of molasses and suffered from bureaucracy but now X is run by a mercurial leader whose instinct is driven by the unique and undoubtedly weird experience of being the biggest voice on the platform. Many of you know me from the sleeping bag incident where I slept on a conference room floor, so I figure, let’s talk about that too. Going viral was an odd and interesting experience. I was attacked by people on the left and called a billionaire bootlicker, while simultaneously being attacked by people on the right for being a working mom who was demonized as an example of a woman choosing her career over her family. Thankfully I can laugh at myself and I don’t take armchair keyboard ideologues too seriously. Being the main character on the timeline, even for a few minutes, requires a thick skin and a strong sense of self. The real story is pretty simple. I was given a nearly impossible deadline for his first project and as the product lead I would never ask anyone to do anything I wasn’t willing to do myself. So I worked round the clock alongside an amazing team spanning many timezones, and we delivered it on schedule – truly against the odds. It was intense but also fun. Those first few months were wildly crazy but I wanted to be there and I have no regrets. Showing up and giving it your all should, in most cases, be celebrated. Obviously you can’t work at that pace forever but there are moments where bursts are mission critical. I’ve pulled many all-nighters in my career and also when I was a student for something that mattered to me. I don’t regret putting in long hours or being ambitious, and feel proud of how far I’ve come from where I started thanks in part to that type of work ethic. I think of life as a game, and being at Twitter after the acquisition was like playing life at Level 10 on Hard Mode. Since I like taking on difficult challenges I found it interesting and rewarding because I was growing and learning so rapidly. I realize our society today trends toward polarization but when it comes to this app, its owner, and its future, I am neither a fangirl nor a hater — I’m an optimistic pragmatist. This may really irritate the internet but you cannot pigeonhole me into some radical position of either loving or hating every change that’s occurred. I escaped my fundamentalist upbringing and am a free thinker these days. Everyone can be seen as both a hero or a villain, depending on who is telling what angle of the story. Elon doesn’t deserve to be venerated or vilified. He’s a complicated person with an unfathomable amount of financial and geopolitical power which is why humanity needs him to err on the side of goodness, rather than political divisiveness and pettiness. I disagree with many of his decisions and am surprised by his willingness to burn so much down, but with enough money and time, something new & innovative may emerge. I hope it does. Sometimes I get asked about how I felt when I got laid off, and the truth is it was the best gift I’ve ever received. Sure the headlines and punchlines wrote themselves but I was battle hardened by then. I knew that I’d worked in a way where I could walk out with my head held high. I have no bitterness about the Product Management team being dismantled, and it made sense for me to exit as nearly all of the remaining PMs were let go. Going on a sabbatical afterward has been exactly what I needed to decompress and I’m finally feeling rested and relaxed. I’m a creative and a builder, so sooner than later I’ll jump back into a high intensity company but I’m grateful for this season of thinking, reading, traveling and being with people I love. After having time to reflect I believe more than ever that the very best outcomes flow from great leadership that combines the head and the heart. I’d be remiss if I didn’t note that in all of this there is also a cautionary tale for anyone who succeeds at something — which is that the higher you climb, the smaller your world becomes. It’s a strange paradox but the richest and most powerful people are also some of the most isolated. I found myself frequently looking at Elon and seeing a person who seemed quite alone because his time and energy was so purely devoted to work, which is not the model of a life I want to live. Money and fame can create psychological prisons which may worsen mental health conditions. We’ve all seen high profile cases of celebrities who end up with some combination of depression, paranoia, delusions of grandeur, mania and/or erratic behavior. Living in an echo chamber is dangerous and being at the top makes a person even more susceptible to being surrounded by yes people when nearly everyone around you is on the payroll and somehow stands to benefit from being in your orbit. Figuring out how to keep “better angels” around in the form of family, friends, and teammates is critical to staying on the rails and enduring intense ups and downs. Everyone needs to hear hard truths sometimes and if you fire all the people who speak up then the reality distortion field may just turn into a vortex. I was drawn to Twitter because I’m obsessed with the problem of loneliness and connection between people. I find it fascinating & troubling that humans are getting lonelier as we simultaneously create a world that’s both safer and wealthier. I don’t believe that trade-off has to exist, which is why I keep returning to that theme in my personal and professional life. I realize this is too long of a tweet but Twitter was a weird and special place on the internet, and I’m grateful to have played a teeny tiny role in its story and evolution. I’m here for whatever comes next — on this app and in new places. Consumer social is very much alive and at a fascinating juncture, so I’ll be watching and participating and sharing hot takes because I don’t want to, and probably can’t, turn that part of me off. Perhaps X becomes a resounding success. Or it fails epically. Either way, I expect it will continue to be a very entertaining ride. 🫡

LONDON BREAKING - Sara Sharif: Neighbor heard 'high-pitched scream' two days before 10-year-old's death, court told. Pakistani family killed their own daughter brutally OCT 15, 2024 Sara's father Urfan Sharif, 42, is on trial at the Old Bailey alongside her stepmother, Beinash Batool, 30, and uncle, Faisal Malik, 28. They deny murder and causing or allowing the death of a child. A blood-stained cricket bat, a rolling pin and home-made hoods may have been used to abuse Sara Sharif in the weeks before her alleged murder, a court has heard. Warning: This story contains details readers may find distressing PAKISTANI FAMILY - DAUGHTER - Sara Sharif 10 Years FATHER - Urfan Sharif, 42 STEP MOTHER - Beinash Batool, 30 UNCLE - Faisal Malik, 28 The 10-year-old began to wear a hijab to hide her injuries to her face and head from the outside world as she was beaten with objects, strangled, tied up, burnt with an iron and bitten, the Old Bailey has heard. A neighbor heard a "single high-pitched scream" of someone in pain two days before her death on 8 August 2023, a jury was told. Her body was found in an upstairs bedroom on a bottom bunk bed of her home in Woking #Surrey, on 10 August last year after her father Urfan Sharif, 42, called police and confessed to killing her after fleeing to Pakistan with the rest of the family. The minicab driver is on trial along with Sara's stepmother, Beinash Batool, 30, and uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, where they deny murder and causing or allowing the death of a child. The court has heard Sara suffered dozens of injuries, including bruising, burns and broken bones in a "brutal" campaign of abuse in the weeks leading up to her death. Prosecutor William Emlyn Jones KC said jurors may get a better sense of how the wounds were inflicted as he outlined the potential weapons found by police in a search of the home. A length of black rope with hairs pulled from Sara's head stuck on it, a rolling pin and a plastic-coated metal pole or baton, were found in a small brick outhouse at the back of the house, while a cricket bat stained with blood matching Sara's DNA was leaning outside. In bins to the side of the house, officers found a filthy nappy with a match to Sara's DNA, and "strange looking objects" made of bits of plastic bag wrapped up with parcel tape, some stained with blood or clumps of hairs. Mr. Emlyn Jones described them as "home-made hoods", adding: "They had been placed over Sara's head, we suggest and then taped in place." Batool's Amazon shopping history showed she had bought 18 rolls of parcel tape in July alone, the jury was told. The prosecutor said one neighbor heard a "single high-pitched scream" two days before Sara's death, which lasted a couple of seconds and stopped suddenly. 'Gut-wrenching screams' heard by neighbor "It sounded to her like the scream of someone in pain and as she put it, 'It didn't sound good'," he told the jury. A neighbor at the family's previous address said she had heard banging and rattling along with the sounds of a child crying or screaming, followed by a "deathly quiet" silence, the court heard. Another said she would hear children screaming and a woman shouting: "Shut the f*** up" and "go to your room you f***ing bastard," the prosecutor said. She would also hear "shockingly loud" sounds of smacking followed by "gut-wrenching screams", the court heard, and said Sara's responsibilities included taking out the bins every week and hanging out the washing. Batool told her sisters about the violence her stepdaughter suffered for more than two years before her death, the court heard. In May 2021, she said in a message: "Urfan beat the crap out of Sara. She's covered in bruises, literally beaten black. I feel really sorry for Sara, poor girl can't walk. I really want to report him." In another she said: "Something happens to Sara I will not be able to forgive myself." #Prosecutors say that in January last year, Sara began to wear a hijab - the only member of her family to do so - while teachers at her primary school spotted bruises on her face before she was withdrawn to be home-schooled in April. All three defendants are said to have played their part in the violence and mistreatment that resulted in Sara's death before flying to #Pakistan the following day. Sharif dialed 999 in the early hours of 10 August last year, when he and the rest of his family were already thousands of miles away, telling police in a tearful eight-and-a-half minute call: "I've killed my daughter." He also said: "I legally punished her, and she died," adding "she was naughty", and: "I beat her up, it wasn't my intention to kill her, but I beat her up too much." The court heard the house's Ring doorbell had been removed, while police found a note in his handwriting by her body, next to her pillow, which said "Love you Sara" on the first page. "It's me Urfan Sharif who killed my daughter by beating. I am running away because I am scared but I promise that I will hand over myself and take punishment," it said. The jury was told Sharif will claim he made a "false confession" to protect his wife, who will say he was a "violent disciplinarian" who she was afraid of. Malik, who worked part-time at McDonald's, is expected to say he was not aware of the abuse. The trial continues. #UrfanSharif #BeinashBatool #London #News #CrownCourt #Pakistan #Islam #Hijab #Islamistheproblem #UKNews #MurderTrial #EmlynJones

An update on Maya Gebala (Tumbler Ridge) From her mom Cia **Additional info regarding Ronalds house. Charity funds, and Cvap and added at the bottom** Hey Everyone. Here comes another long one...... Ive wanted to write an update for quite sometime.. I just, dont really know what to say I guess. I know alot of my posts seem to be deep in despair. Truth is though, I simply can't afford to give up in faith. Its all I have left. People ask me, regularly, is Maya okay? -I suppose- If Okay is the mid line on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being dead 10 being thriving... I suppose okay would suffice. The Maya I see everyday currently, to the Maya i spent the past 12 years observing and attempting to tame into civility, are vastly different. Through the eyes of pure unwavering love, It feels like a crime to say "shes okay" The Maya I had the pleasure to watch blossom.. like a volcano.. The brave, confident force of nature. Was rarely sick for school. Had deep burning empathy. She understood more of the world and the people around her, then she probably should at her age.. Now.... Now, I imagine she is a goldfish, floating in the small aquarium that is her own body. Observing. She cant communicate. Or articulate feelings. Her eyes tell me she is in there still. So, is she "okay"? What IS okay? The adrenaline and consistent wave of hope and despair in the beginning brought feelings that made the scale of comparison easy to articulate. And then now. We have only time. Endless time. Uncertainty. Faith(?) And fear.... Her cranialplasty went well. No further signs of infection, crisis averted. She is healing incredibly well. Myself, as a mother, stood on a platform of maternal vigilance. Now I can ... what.... relax? Now that her life doesn't hang in the fragile threads of moments and possibilities, I'm left with the mountain of broken pieces that was once our lives.. The dishes from a sunday dinner, left forgotten until tomorrow. Time to deal with the mess. We were plucked from our small town lives and dropped collectively in a new life, broken and battered. A now past life, where i once ran a business. where my daughters spent most their little lives walking the streets 'hanging at moms shop' Where everyone knows you, and most welcome you. Where there are many more trees then cars, and if you heard sirens at night, you likely knew who they were for. In the silence of unrelenting "wait and see" we pick up the pieces, and start over. A new normal. A new place. A new shade of jade. It has been nearly impossible to aquire housing. knowing she will likely be in a wheelchair. To know that there is a good chance that her level of consciousness can still continue to develop and all I want to do is protect my children from the busy noise and sirens that is the city. One day she might ask what happened. One day i may have to tell her. I hope to protect the peace. I hope to create an imaginary parallel to the life they were forced to abandon. It is difficult... if not impossible. For a while little Dahlia and I stayed in a series of airbnbs, thinking we would find a home soon. She needed her mom. I felt all I could give that resembled any sort of 'life' was a bedroom.. and breakfast together. Under the implication that victim services would cover accomodations and expenses as they offer on the government website. A service intended to support families who have been subject to the wreckage of a hanous and violent crime. We dont qualify. The list of potential benefits covered for truamatized families searching for a new normal in an unthinkable situation. We arent covered. Turns out, legislation is written in such a way, we dont qualify. So all and any expenses are left to be fulfilled by any organizations holding donations, that has litterally saved us so far.. So, with that, accomodations have become too much, and we live between the back of my car and a couch in the hospital. Hoping we find a place that fits all our requirements sometime soon. Then what? Prepare for the worst, yet hope for the best, they say. What if maya needs round the clock care? How do I work... how does LIFE work. I live moment to moment in a sea of maybe's with no solid ground to rest our feet. Running in place. Fantasizing over possibilities that seem just barely out of reach. The carrot on the stick. We have had some incredible opportunities surface, we seemed to have stumbled on a 'school' type structure in a horse stable... no walls. No familiarity... Perfect for now. It is exactly what she needed. So... I still keep faith. We never went to LA.. for anyone who believed we did, it just didnt happen. There was too much uncertainty and her state was to fragile to have the travel was worth the risk.. in all honesty I think I pulled the trigger on that post to early, although I didn't see it that way at the time -my bad. We are now, however, researching neurospecific hospitals world wide for advanced treatment, if we find one she may qualify for, we would rather go broke taking any potential avenues available, then walk the arduous path of "wait and see". So.. we are okay. We are all okay. If Okay was the mid line on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being dead. 10 being thriving. We are the epitome of Okay.. Mya Maya. My goldfish baby, as Ive been calling her.. Dumbed down to a state of pre-evolution, her gold fish state. All I can hope is, one day she finds the means to sprout legs and walk out of her pond. Like the images in those old 90's science books.. I continue to pray she evolves.. I hope the path to a new normal starts to become clear. We just.... wait and see. Xoxo (( **Edit: To address question about the Ronald Mcdonald House. We do have a room there.. one per family. Dahlia was abruptly forced to abandon her entire life, while simultaneously grappling with the news that some of her friends were dead, and confronted daily thay her fearless leader is a goldfish.. I didnt find it healthy that her only available.friends were more vulnerable children. She loves fiercely, but im terrified for her. I basically gave the room to david and his family that comes.quite frequently to help. The airbnbs and couch surfing, id assumed to be short.lived as he hunt for homes..** **CHARITY FUNDS. YES. The pac charity. The Red Cross. There are other charities available we can pull from. However, with having toforfeit my shop, the outrageous cost of housing, medical equipment, and not knowing how or if I can ever work again, using any of that for overpriced short term stays seems very unreasonable. 2 weeks in a hotel or Airbnb is a months rent. There are financial resources. As our future looks now, maya will need mechanical slings, ramps, stair lifts. A van, a special tub, and potentially at home care... all of that combined is well over 200k in a year... That coupled with 2500 a month in rent, and everyday living. These alotted funds need to stretch us as long as possible. With 6k a month in home care for maya and 2500 a month in rent, its scary fast it Will go. I will.likely need to upgrade some courses and find new work. Its alot and the future is unknown. So with the government sector offering to cover "accomodations" it didnt seem so reckless. I wouldnt want to spend a lifeline like these funds, on expensive short term stays, but with that seemingly the only option, we will just keep looking for a home.** **Also In regards to Victim services. I hope no one calls to raise hell on our behalf, it isnt the employees, it is the legislature. We could tell today during our meeting that they wanted to help. The guidelines to these benefits are restricting, there simply is no place for us.. The change needs bigger then an exemption. It needs to be for the people.** Thank you for your love and passion though.

Finally, Ed Davey calls for the UK to join the EU Single Market 👏 "We meet at an extraordinary moment. Vladimir Putin is still waging war on our continent. Donald Trump's chaos in the Middle East goes on. And our government, our own government is paralysed by infighting, waiting for Makerfield to release them from their agony." "And yet, despite all that, standing with you here today, I feel hope. And not just about England's chances against Croatia tonight, but hope about our country's future." "Not hope because the path ahead is easy. It isn't. Not hope because everything will magically get better. It won't." "But hope because finally, after ten long, difficult years, I believe we can move on. We can finally fix the Brexit damage, end the Brexit chaos and get our country back on track." "Because the story the media won't tell you, as they fawn over the rise of Farage, as they hang on his every empty press conference, is that the country is with us. We hear it on the doorsteps, we see it in the polls, we feel it in our communities." "People are fed up. They've had enough. Enough of the chaos in government, the queues at ports, the queues at airports, the bills that just keep on going up." "They know the hard truth that most politicians won't admit. The Brexit experiment has failed. And it's failed all of us." "£90 billion a year. That's how much it's costing us all as taxpayers" "£90 billion every year, gone" "That's £250 million every single day. Taken away from our schools, our hospitals, our armed forces. Taken out of everyone's pockets in the form of unfair tax rises." "Not because of a pandemic, not because of a war, not because of some force of nature out of our control, but because of their Brexit experiment. Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the rest. An experiment that has now consumed a decade of British politics. That has tangled British businesses up in pointless red tape, that has pushed up prices for British families and that has left us all poorer." "Well, not all of us, apparently. Farage says that the five million he got from a crypto billionaire was his reward for Brexit. So when he said 'We'll be better off after Brexit,' it turns out he was using the royal we." "But friends, it's not only the economic and financial impact, as disastrous as those have been. It's the way they have poisoned our relationship with our nearest neighbours and friends, making it harder to work together on all the things we need to. Energy security and climate change, migration and refugees, AI, and above all, defence." "Britain has always been at its best when we stand tall with our European allies, not when we shut ourselves off. Now they promised us global Britain, but they have left us isolated at the worst possible time. Poorer, weaker and more insecure." "Their experiment has failed. We all know it. So it's time to move on." "But what do they say? The ones who caused all this. The people responsible. Farage and the Conservative Party. They say 'Tough.' They say you can't move on. They say you can't question Britain's relationship with Europe now. You can't dare to suggest there might be a better way. Doesn't matter how bad it gets, doesn't matter how much you're struggling. You just have to live with it, they say." "We say 'No.' We say Britain shouldn't have to live with a bad deal they've lumped us with. We say our country deserves far better than that." "Theirs is old thinking. It's 2016 thinking. The world has changed dramatically since then. It's time for us to change too. It's time for us to move on, move forward." "Just look around. Vladimir Putin is bombing schools and hospitals in Ukraine, murdering innocent civilians. He's testing NATO's resolve and setting his sights on the rest of Eastern Europe. He has shown that territorial conquest is not some relic of the distant past. It is happening now on European soil to our friends and our allies who share our values and our way of life." "And Donald Trump, he's torching the world economy for fun with his tariffs and his trade wars and now his actual war with Iran. He's ripping up the rules-based international order that generations of British leaders, American leaders, European leaders, painstakingly built after the Second World War. Trump threatening NATO, emboldening Putin and actively meddling in our democracies." "And then there's China, increasingly using trade supply chains and strategic dependencies as instruments of geopolitical competition." "And to add to all those political changes, there's the billionaire tech barons taking more and more control of our lives and our jobs with their empires of AI and social media, that no one nation can govern on its own." "The assumptions we have lived by for decades, that global trade would keep expanding, that international rules would broadly be respected, that our security would be underwritten by stable alliances. Those assumptions no longer hold. The world has changed more rapidly than at any time since the end of the Cold War. And our politics must change too." "Now we obviously can't turn to those who wrecked it. Farage and the Conservatives. They only want to make things worse. Even now, pushing for Brexit 2.0 with their plans to rip up the European Convention on Human Rights. They would just rerun all the old arguments, forcing Britain to replay the last ten years over and over in a never ending Brexit doom loop." "But nor, I'm afraid, can we look to Labour. Labour who failed to act with anything like the urgency this moment demands. Who don't seem to grasp the scale of the change we need in our relationship with Europe. Labour, who still kept us hemmed in the red lines they set more than five years ago. No single market, no customs union. Red lines they set before Putin invaded Ukraine, before Trump returned to the White House. Red lines that were wrong then and are even more wrong now." "The world has changed and it's time to move on. We cannot be trapped by that old thinking anymore. We have to look to the future. Not back to 2016 but to 2036 and beyond." "And that's why we're all here today, isn't it? Not because we are bitter about the past, but because we believe in a better future. Because we love our country and we know its brightest days still lie ahead." "We're here for our children and our grandchildren because we want them to inherit a country that is growing, that is confident, that is leading, not one that is shrinking, stagnating and standing alone." "That's what drives us. We're here because the world has changed, because the challenges we face to our economy, to our society and to our national defence are real and urgent. And because we believe Britain deserves ambition that matches the scale of this moment." "So what does that ambition look like? Well, first the government needs to drop those old red lines that stop us getting rid of the Conservatives' red tape. Those red lines are holding Britain back. They're hurting the British people and they are playing into the hands of Farage and Reform." "So my message to Andy Burnham, to Wes Streeting, to whoever the next Prime Minister may be, is drop those red lines. Drop them now." "If we do, we can move on from the torpor and timidity that has marked out Labour's approach to Europe so far. We can put an end to the endless talk of a reset that so far seems to just mean saying no more politely than the Conservatives did. And we can get on with properly fixing our relationship with Europe, for our economy, for our security, for our future." "Our party has led that debate for years. Last year, days before Trump took office, we set out plans for the UK to join a new customs union with the EU. And today I want to build on that and go further, much further." "Today we are calling for a new growth and defence partnership with the European Union. A new growth and defence partnership with the European Union. A bold new deal that will make Britain richer, safer and stronger, including a customs union, but also crucially taking Britain back into the single market." "Tearing down the barriers to trade. Ending the mountains of paperwork, the cost, the delays, the queues. Giving our young people the chance to study and work, live and love anywhere in the EU. Undoing the damage of the Johnson Farage Brexit deal that has held our economy back for so long." "Giving British businesses the certainty they need to invest, to hire and to grow. Giving Britain's economy the boost it needs after years of stagnation. Crucially, giving Britain's public finances a growth dividend. Tens of billions of pounds that we would use to cut the cost of living, to fix the NHS and to strengthen our armed forces." "And this new partnership must go beyond trade and growth. In the age of Putin, Xi and Trump, this must be about defence and security too. No country can be prosperous and free if it is not safe." "And Britain can help lead on defence in Europe as we have so decisively in the past. Despite the Conservatives' short-sighted cuts to our armed forces and Labour's chaos over investing in them now, Britain is still one of Europe's foremost military powers. We are a leading intelligence nation, a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the third-biggest contributor to NATO." "We should be using those strengths. We should be at the table, helping to shape Europe's security future, not watching from the sidelines. And Europe wants us at the table. They know they need our leadership on defence." "So let's seize the initiative from a position of strength to form a new partnership that strengthens both Britain's economy and our collective security. That is why our new partnership would be about defence as much as it is about growth." "That means financial cooperation through a new European rearmament bank, alongside securing UK access to the one hundred and fifty billion euro safe programme. It means joint defence procurement, creating jobs in Britain while strengthening our collective capabilities. It means deeper cooperation on intelligence, on cyber security and on protecting critical infrastructure." "It means working together on energy security so that none of us can be held hostage by an authoritarian regime turning off the gas. It means political cooperation through a new European Security Council with a permanent seat for the UK, ensuring that Europe can shoulder greater responsibility for its own security within NATO." "As Trump's actions remind us every day, that we cannot afford to rely so much on the United States. Friends, this is not a choice we can afford to dodge any longer. In the face of Putin's threats and Trump's unpredictability, a new defence pact with Europe, with allies on whom we can depend, allies who share our interests and our values, is frankly the only way to keep Britain safe and defend our values in a dangerous world." "A new defence pact with Europe is not a choice, it is a necessity. So let's get on with it." "That is the ambition we need when it comes to our relationship with Europe. No more tinkering around the edges of a bad deal. No more shackling ourselves to the arguments of the last ten years, but building something new. A partnership fit for the enormous challenges we face today." "A new growth and defence partnership with a new pact for our collective security. Forming a customs union, joining the single market. A new partnership to make us richer, safer and stronger." "I think it's the best hope our country has to stop the chaos and end the crisis. And, my friends, it is the biggest step we could take now back towards membership of the EU." "And there's another big step we need to take too. Defeating Nigel Farage and Reform. We have to stop them from turning our United Kingdom into their version of Trump's America." "And here's the point. Until we do defeat them, many in Europe will not countenance Britain joining." "Let's remember why this matters, why it's so crucial for Britain to be there at the heart of Europe, at the table with our nearest neighbours." "I've been privileged to see it for myself, the power we have when Britain leads in Europe. When Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea in 2014, we recognised then that the way to defeat him would be to get Europe off its dependence on Russian oil and gas, to take away the money that was funding his aggression, to bankrupt the Russian war machine." "So I led Britain's efforts to bring Europe together behind that common cause, and we succeeded. We wrote Europe's energy security strategy. Britain did that, sitting at the table, leading in Europe." "But then, instead of seeing it through, the Conservatives walked away. They gave up Britain's seat at the table. They locked us out of those discussions at the worst possible time." "Just imagine where we could be now if Britain had continued to lead on energy security. Imagine how much weaker Putin would be now. Imagine how much safer Ukraine and the rest of Europe, including Britain, would be now. What a terrible waste. What an indictment of the Conservatives." "And that is why I am so determined to get us back at the table, back at the heart of Europe. Britain leading again." "Now I want to speak for a moment about the bigger picture. Because our ambition is not limited to Europe alone. It's about Britain's place in the world." "The old assumption that trade, security and prosperity could be treated as separate issues no longer holds. Supply chains can be disrupted. Energy can be weaponised. Economic security and national security are now inseparable." "At a time when authoritarian powers are doing so much to undermine our security, democratic nations must work more closely together to enhance it. As Mark Carney said in Davos, middle powers must act together, because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu. He is right." "Fixing our relationship with Europe is the essential foundation, but it's not the ceiling. The UK can be an incredible force for good when it stands tall on the world stage. Our history, our alliances and our relationships across every continent gives us a unique position for us to act as a bridge, not just between Europe and the US but between Europe and the whole wider democratic world." "We are here because we believe that our country and our people thrive when we are open and outward looking. That is Britain at its best. Not a small inward looking island clinging to the wreckage of a failed experiment, but a leader, a convening power, a country that helps shape the international order rather than being buffeted by it." "That is the Britain we can be." "But friends, I want to be honest with you about the task ahead. What we are proposing is bold. It is ambitious. It requires courage, requires leadership. And it will not happen without all of us." "We know the obstacles we face, the arguments ahead, the opponents who would rather replay the last ten years instead of moving on from them. Who will tell us we can't even talk about a new deal with Europe, let alone make one. The politicians who will claim change isn't possible because the status quo works for them. But it doesn't work for anyone else." "So our job is to get out there and show people that change is possible, that it doesn't have to be like this, that there is a way forward. A better future for our country. Leading in Europe once again." "This isn't just because we believe in Europe. It's not just about friendship or shared history, or the fact that a divided Europe has always ended in misery. Fixing it is about us, our country, our future, our hopes and our dreams." "Britain needs a new plan. A plan for growth, for jobs, for defence. A plan to give our children the better future they deserve. A new deal with Europe. The only way to fix the cost of living crisis. The only way to get our country back on track." "So let us stand together. Let us end the chaos. Let us show the world what Britain can be. Not a small island clinging to a failed experiment, but a leader, open, outward looking. At the table, not on the menu." "A Britain that is richer, safer and stronger. That is the future we are fighting for." " Thank you. Thank you very much."

Finally, Ed Davey calls for the UK to join the EU Single Market 👏 "We meet at an extraordinary moment. Vladimir Putin is still waging war on our continent. Donald Trump's chaos in the Middle East goes on. And our government, our own government is paralysed by infighting, waiting for Makerfield to release them from their agony." "And yet, despite all that, standing with you here today, I feel hope. And not just about England's chances against Croatia tonight, but hope about our country's future." "Not hope because the path ahead is easy. It isn't. Not hope because everything will magically get better. It won't." "But hope because finally, after ten long, difficult years, I believe we can move on. We can finally fix the Brexit damage, end the Brexit chaos and get our country back on track." "Because the story the media won't tell you, as they fawn over the rise of Farage, as they hang on his every empty press conference, is that the country is with us. We hear it on the doorsteps, we see it in the polls, we feel it in our communities." "People are fed up. They've had enough. Enough of the chaos in government, the queues at ports, the queues at airports, the bills that just keep on going up." "They know the hard truth that most politicians won't admit. The Brexit experiment has failed. And it's failed all of us." "£90 billion a year. That's how much it's costing us all as taxpayers" "£90 billion every year, gone" "That's £250 million every single day. Taken away from our schools, our hospitals, our armed forces. Taken out of everyone's pockets in the form of unfair tax rises." "Not because of a pandemic, not because of a war, not because of some force of nature out of our control, but because of their Brexit experiment. Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the rest. An experiment that has now consumed a decade of British politics. That has tangled British businesses up in pointless red tape, that has pushed up prices for British families and that has left us all poorer." "Well, not all of us, apparently. Farage says that the five million he got from a crypto billionaire was his reward for Brexit. So when he said 'We'll be better off after Brexit,' it turns out he was using the royal we." "But friends, it's not only the economic and financial impact, as disastrous as those have been. It's the way they have poisoned our relationship with our nearest neighbours and friends, making it harder to work together on all the things we need to. Energy security and climate change, migration and refugees, AI, and above all, defence." "Britain has always been at its best when we stand tall with our European allies, not when we shut ourselves off. Now they promised us global Britain, but they have left us isolated at the worst possible time. Poorer, weaker and more insecure." "Their experiment has failed. We all know it. So it's time to move on." "But what do they say? The ones who caused all this. The people responsible. Farage and the Conservative Party. They say 'Tough.' They say you can't move on. They say you can't question Britain's relationship with Europe now. You can't dare to suggest there might be a better way. Doesn't matter how bad it gets, doesn't matter how much you're struggling. You just have to live with it, they say." "We say 'No.' We say Britain shouldn't have to live with a bad deal they've lumped us with. We say our country deserves far better than that." "Theirs is old thinking. It's 2016 thinking. The world has changed dramatically since then. It's time for us to change too. It's time for us to move on, move forward." "Just look around. Vladimir Putin is bombing schools and hospitals in Ukraine, murdering innocent civilians. He's testing NATO's resolve and setting his sights on the rest of Eastern Europe. He has shown that territorial conquest is not some relic of the distant past. It is happening now on European soil to our friends and our allies who share our values and our way of life." "And Donald Trump, he's torching the world economy for fun with his tariffs and his trade wars and now his actual war with Iran. He's ripping up the rules-based international order that generations of British leaders, American leaders, European leaders, painstakingly built after the Second World War. Trump threatening NATO, emboldening Putin and actively meddling in our democracies." "And then there's China, increasingly using trade supply chains and strategic dependencies as instruments of geopolitical competition." "And to add to all those political changes, there's the billionaire tech barons taking more and more control of our lives and our jobs with their empires of AI and social media, that no one nation can govern on its own." "The assumptions we have lived by for decades, that global trade would keep expanding, that international rules would broadly be respected, that our security would be underwritten by stable alliances. Those assumptions no longer hold. The world has changed more rapidly than at any time since the end of the Cold War. And our politics must change too." "Now we obviously can't turn to those who wrecked it. Farage and the Conservatives. They only want to make things worse. Even now, pushing for Brexit 2.0 with their plans to rip up the European Convention on Human Rights. They would just rerun all the old arguments, forcing Britain to replay the last ten years over and over in a never ending Brexit doom loop." "But nor, I'm afraid, can we look to Labour. Labour who failed to act with anything like the urgency this moment demands. Who don't seem to grasp the scale of the change we need in our relationship with Europe. Labour, who still kept us hemmed in the red lines they set more than five years ago. No single market, no customs union. Red lines they set before Putin invaded Ukraine, before Trump returned to the White House. Red lines that were wrong then and are even more wrong now." "The world has changed and it's time to move on. We cannot be trapped by that old thinking anymore. We have to look to the future. Not back to 2016 but to 2036 and beyond." "And that's why we're all here today, isn't it? Not because we are bitter about the past, but because we believe in a better future. Because we love our country and we know its brightest days still lie ahead." "We're here for our children and our grandchildren because we want them to inherit a country that is growing, that is confident, that is leading, not one that is shrinking, stagnating and standing alone." "That's what drives us. We're here because the world has changed, because the challenges we face to our economy, to our society and to our national defence are real and urgent. And because we believe Britain deserves ambition that matches the scale of this moment." "So what does that ambition look like? Well, first the government needs to drop those old red lines that stop us getting rid of the Conservatives' red tape. Those red lines are holding Britain back. They're hurting the British people and they are playing into the hands of Farage and Reform." "So my message to Andy Burnham, to Wes Streeting, to whoever the next Prime Minister may be, is drop those red lines. Drop them now." "If we do, we can move on from the torpor and timidity that has marked out Labour's approach to Europe so far. We can put an end to the endless talk of a reset that so far seems to just mean saying no more politely than the Conservatives did. And we can get on with properly fixing our relationship with Europe, for our economy, for our security, for our future." "Our party has led that debate for years. Last year, days before Trump took office, we set out plans for the UK to join a new customs union with the EU. And today I want to build on that and go further, much further."
