EVERYTHING JAPANESE IS REALLY CHINESE. Seriously? Well, yes. I mean, this title is clearly a generalization, so what it means is that the main cultural items that are widely assumed across the world to be Japanese actually come from China. . 1. Ramen Raman is a Chinese noodle dish, not Japanese. It was brought to Japan by Chinese travellers in the late 1800s. The original Japanese name for it was “shina soba” meaning Chinese noodles. . 2. Japanese writing The Japanese writing system known as Kanji has a name formed of two elements. Kanji literally means Han Writing. Han is the biggest ethnic group in China. . 3. The Kimono This was an adaptation of the type of draped silk clothing from China known as Hanfu. After the start of the Heian period in Japan in 794 AD, it became popular in Japan and started to acquire unique Japanese elements. . 4. Blossom trees Japan’s famous cherry blossoms actually come a tree indigenous not to Japan, but to the Himalayas, which border southwest China—in fact a long way from Japan. The practice of celebrating the annual blossoming of beautiful trees such as the cherry blossom and the plum blossom spread from southwest China to Korea and Japan, taking several centuries to make that journey. . 5. Sushi Sushi is fish with vinegared rice. It is vinegared to give it a pickled taste which is a clue towards its origins: a Chinese pickled dish in which salted fish was wrapped in fermented rice. Even today in Japan, a sushi kitchen is called a tsuke-ba, which means ‘pickling place’. . 6. The Japanese language Japan has its own language, sure – but statisticians say that at least 60 per cent of Japanese vocabulary comes from Chinese origins. . 7. Being ruled by an Emperor In the early 7th century, the Japanese adopted the title of Emperor from China for their own leaders. They used the same Chinese characters, and the same concept that the leader, by definition, was the Son of Heaven. This new rank was then retroactively applied to all past Japanese rulers, who all become emperors and sons of heaven. . 8. Bonsai. The practice of growing miniature trees and creating tiny landscapes developed in China, more than 1,500 years ago. It was known as penjing. The technique was introduced to Japan in the 7th century. . 9. Sashimi It was the Chinese rather than the Japanese who realized more than 1800 years ago that the flesh of certain fish was delicious eaten raw – no cooking necessary. Food historian Jacqueline Newman says that raw fish consumption began in southern China before 200 AD. It came to Japan about 11 hundred years later. . 10. The tea ceremony The tea ceremony originated in China during the Tang Dynasty, which is 600 to 900 AD, as a meditative health practice, before evolving into artistic ritual by the time of the Song Dynasty, which started in 960 AD. It was then taken to Japan by monks, like many Chinese cultural practices. . 11. The board game called GO In western culture, Go is a game associated with Japan. In reality, it is the world’s oldest known board game, originating in China about 4,000 years ago, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The game was taken from China to Japan in 500 AD, which is “comparatively recently” in Chinese terms. . 12. Green tea Green tea, or matcha, comes from China and has been consumed for probably 4,000 years. It was brought to Japan by monks during the 8th and 9th centuries—very recently by Chinese standards! Two holy men, Saichō and Kukai, are credited with bringing it over the waters to Japan. . 13. Architecture The Japanese admired China’s extraordinarily long-lasting structures made of interlocking wooden elements and there was a lot of temple-building based on Chinese innovations in sixth century Japan. The Japanese capital, Nara, copied the checkerboard street layout of the Chinese capital, Chang’an. But, it must be said, the Japanese afterwards developed many of their own unique architectural elements. . 14. The Asian super-sword It was actually Tang dynasty scientists in China who revolutionized sword-making in the 7th century with a blade called the baogangfa – they fused high carbon steel (which enable sharpness) with low-carbon iron (which provided strength). The result was a blade that could slice through samurai armor. Japanese envoys brought Chinese swords back to Japan in the 700s. To give them due credit, the Japanese improved both the recipe and the design, to eventually come up with the curved katana sword. . 15. Cultural figures One of the most famous pop culture items from Japan is Dragonball. The creator of Dragonball fully admitted that his story was simply a retelling of the Chinese classic Journey to the West. Pokemon, another Japanese modern classic, has many ancient Chinese elements, too – research the nine-tailed fox for example. . 16. Zen An Indian monk named Bodhidharma came to China around 520 AD. His teachings became combined with Chinese philosophies such as Daoism. That led to the development of a practice called Chan, which is how the word Zen was originally pronounced. Records indicate that Chinese Chan Buddhism reached Japan in the 7th century but was not firmly established in that country until the 12th century. . CONCLUSIONS? Okay, there are 16 items – things assumed to be Japanese by many people, but which are rooted in Chinese culture. But there are others. So feel free to add more. Or shoot down the ones I have listed, if you prefer. Why do so many Japanese items come from China? Well, for much of history, China was the cool place, the happening place, the creative place, the dominant cultural center of the most highly populated part of the world. So naturally people wanted to visit it. One ancient record show that between AD 603 and AD 839, the Japanese alone sent at least 17 diplomatic missions to the Tang Dynasty royal courts in China. And I am going to add one more item to my list. Do the Japanese people themselves come from China? A short discussion of that somewhat controversial question comes at the end of the video. Read widely. Peace.

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! The Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) that was sanctioned by Rubio is partnered with the far leftist, and USAID PARTNERED Skoll Fndn. And CCDH was also given nearly half a million dollars by Skoll too. Skoll is also partnered with the BBC. No wonder the BBC told Trump lies. Another Skoll Partner? Protect Democracy from the Times Election Fortification article. Funny how CCDH always meets up with them. Stay Tuned. It seemed to me that Skolls primary focus is leading foreign attacks on US big tech. So I peeked around on the Skoll site, and the Skolls disinfo program is called the Global Coalition for Tech Justice. Where they spew anti right rhetoric. ♦️The Video Evidence See the video where they stated the need to protect democracy from the, disinfo superspreader Trump “far right”? Calling us authoritarian? And look, there’s the fake news on Elons non existent N*zi salute (aka waving in excitement)! No matter what they tell you, watch the video. They let the truth slip. ♦️They list over 200 member orgs, but conveniently, some are left off for safety reasons. Not to hide em of course. Ha ha!😆 But it looks like someone let the cat outta the bag. See the print screen? CCDH PARTNER SKOLL ♦️This is ran outside of the USA too. Hmmm.. The Global Coalition for Tech Justice, was convened by Digital Action. “Digital Action mobilized civil society and digital rights activist organizations to shape the landmark EU Digital Services Act. In 2023, Digital Action launched the Global Coalition for Tech Justice, bringing together more than 200 member organizations from 55 countries to call on technology platforms to better serve citizens within democracies, particularly those from marginalized communities.” Digital Action was a product of the Arabella New Venture fund, and its team of seven is located in Dublin, London, and Beirut. Arabella was the money handler for Soros Democracy Alliance. ♦️To review the top to bottom Hierarchy of this Democrat org used to herald in censorship of conservatives: 🔸Arabella New Venture Fund 🔸Digital Action 🔸Global Coalition for Tech Justice 🔸Year of Democracy ♦️Digital Action Funding Partners Skoll Fndn Soros Open society Ford Fndn Omidyar Luminate MacArthur Fndn ♦️A year of action to destroy Big Tech and affect elections to save democracy Now I mentioned something new above. The global Coalition for Tech Justice ran the Year For Democracy in 2024. “Together with our members, we campaign, research, investigate and tell the stories of tech harm in global media, support and amplify the efforts of our members on the frontlines of tech harm, and build policy solutions to address the global impacts of social media companies.” “In 2024, more than 2 billion people will be entitled to vote as over 70 countries go to the polls, in the biggest and most significant year for elections globally this century.” ♦️They say that Big Tech is creating an equity crisis. Well news flash, equity is illegal in the US. That’s foreign meddling there. “The Global Coalition for Tech Justice is a global movement challenging the global equity crisis at the centre of tech accountability, whereby social media companies headquartered in the global north – and the regulators responsible for them – have been negligent when it comes to dealing with their impacts everywhere and particularly in the global majority.” ♦️Stop the right “In Brazil, which is holding municipal elections in the fall of 2024, experts worry that Big Tech companies haven’t learnt their lesson from the January attack on government buildings by supporters of the far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, asking to overturn the results of the October 2022 presidential election. “The far-right now has a common enemy and they are organising themselves as never before to gain votes in those local municipalities, gain strength for the next national election,” said Nina Santos” Hopefully Rubio defunded this.

The most beautiful “Picnic” in the World Here is the full story of how the “Dîner en Blanc” (White Dinner) was born and why it remains one of the most beautiful dining experiences in the world 🤍✨ It all began in Paris in the summer of 1988 François Pasquier, a French entrepreneur who had just returned after years in Tahiti, wanted to reunite with his friends and celebrate his homecoming The problem was simple: his garden was too small to host everyone So he came up with a brilliant idea — an elegant picnic in the Bois de Boulogne, one of Paris’s most famous parks To make it easy for guests to find one another, he asked everyone to dress entirely in white Each person brought their own food, table, and chairs, and was encouraged to invite a new friend The result was magical: elegant tables set among the trees, white tablecloths, flowers, crystal glasses, and an atmosphere unlike anything Paris had seen before 💐 The evening was such a success that it became an annual tradition Year after year, the gathering grew The location was kept secret until the last moment, adding an element of mystery and adventure Participants arrived carrying folding tables, chairs, elegant tableware, flowers, and candles or soft lights Within minutes, a public space was transformed into a spectacular open-air dining room From a few dozen friends, Le Dîner en Blanc grew into a Parisian institution In 2018, nearly 17,000 guests gathered at the Esplanade des Invalides to celebrate its 30th anniversary Yet the formula remained unchanged: elegance, everything in white, good food, and a unique spirit of conviviality The real turning point came when the concept crossed French borders François’s son, Aymeric Pasquier, introduced it to Montreal in 2009 and New York in 2011 From there, the phenomenon spread around the world Today, Le Dîner en Blanc takes place in more than 120 cities across over 40 countries 🌍 What makes it so special is its perfect balance of simplicity and refinement It is not a commercial event but a gathering of people who transform a public space into a celebration of beauty The rules are simple: dress in white, bring elegance, respect the location, and leave everything exactly as it was found Over time, Le Dîner en Blanc has become a symbol of the French art de vivre — the ability to find beauty in everyday life and turn a simple picnic into an unforgettable experience Born almost by accident from a lack of space, it became a global phenomenon because it speaks to something universal: the joy of sharing a beautiful moment with others Even today, whenever that sea of white suddenly appears in a city somewhere in the world, the magic of that first Parisian evening comes alive again More than a picnic, it is a celebration of friendship, elegance, and the simple pleasure of being together 🫶✨

WE’VE BEEN LOOKING AT BITCOIN COMPLETELY WRONG. Every day, I hear the same two arguments. Normies say Bitcoin is "magic internet money backed by nothing," while their fiat currency dissolves. Meanwhile, some Maxis sit thousands of miles away wondering if El Salvador's adoption is just a top-down PR stunt. We sat down with Cherito Specialty BitCafé Roasters 🇸🇻😎☕💊🍊 to dismantle both narratives. Jorge fled El Salvador's civil war, built a tech career in Seattle, and returned to farm his family's coffee land through a decade of intense gang violence and crop disease. His story completely breaks Peter Schiff’s favorite "argument" against Bitcoin. Specialty coffee requires a 14-month cycle of human sweat and ancestral farming. Jorge calls these raw beans "Analog Proof of Work", natural manifestation of time and energy. When traded peer-to-peer for sats, Bitcoin isn't backed by thin air; it acts as a digital mirror mapping value to that real-world physics. This is a true circular Bitcoin economy! Bypassing predatory 4.5% banking fees via Lightning, Jorge's node automatically routes those saved sats as instant royalties directly to his baristas and remote mountain workers.

WE’VE BEEN LOOKING AT BITCOIN COMPLETELY WRONG. Every day, I hear the same two arguments. Normies say Bitcoin is "magic internet money backed by nothing," while their fiat currency dissolves. Meanwhile, some Maxis sit thousands of miles away wondering if El Salvador's adoption is just a top-down PR stunt. We sat down with Cherito Specialty BitCafé Roasters 🇸🇻😎☕💊🍊 to dismantle both narratives. Jorge fled El Salvador's civil war, built a tech career in Seattle, and returned to farm his family's coffee land through a decade of intense gang violence and crop disease. His story completely breaks Peter Schiff’s favorite "argument" against Bitcoin. Specialty coffee requires a 14-month cycle of human sweat and ancestral farming. Jorge calls these raw beans "Analog Proof of Work", natural manifestation of time and energy. When traded peer-to-peer for sats, Bitcoin isn't backed by thin air; it acts as a digital mirror mapping value to that real-world physics. This is a true circular Bitcoin economy! Bypassing predatory 4.5% banking fees via Lightning, Jorge's node automatically routes those saved sats as instant royalties directly to his baristas and remote mountain workers. His story and what he is building is absolutely amazing. If that wasn't enough, he even turns discarded coffee cherry skins into "Bitcoin Libre", a capitalistic counter-punch and mockery to communism. This story will change how you see Bitcoin, El Salvador, and human ingenuity. Stop wasting time looking at charts. Come see how the Bitcoin blockchain literally meets the fertile soil of Bitcoin Country. Watch the full episode now 👇

She thought she could walk away from the throne. But every time she rejected the crown... it found its way back. This 30-second fantasy story was created entirely with Seedance 2.0 on @thankyouai_hq From the magical environments to the cinematic camera work, character consistency, and seamless visual effects, every scene brought this story to life exactly as I imagined. Would you accept the crown... or keep running? 👑 PROMPT: Scene 1 (0–5s) – Rejecting the Crown Early morning on the highest castle balcony overlooking a vast medieval kingdom. Golden sunrise bathes the kingdom in warm light. The princess stands alone, holding an ornate golden crown in both hands. Tears fill her eyes as she slowly removes it from her head. She looks down at the peaceful kingdom before whispering, "I never wanted this." With quiet determination, she throws the crown off the balcony. The camera follows the crown spinning through the air in dramatic slow motion before cutting away just before it reaches the ground. Scene 2 (5–10s) – Freedom at Last The princess has changed into a simple brown traveler’s cloak over her dress and quietly walks through a lively village marketplace, smiling naturally for the first time. She helps a young child pick up scattered apples and blends in with ordinary people. Suddenly, villagers begin looking upward in confusion. A warm golden glow appears behind her. She slowly turns around to discover the crown floating silently toward her through the air. Before she can react, it gently settles back onto her head. Her smile instantly disappears. Scene 3 (10–15s) – Trying to Escape Again Determined to be free, she runs deep into an enchanted forest filled with towering ancient trees and glowing flowers. She removes the crown once more and forcefully throws it into a sparkling magical river. The crown sinks beneath the crystal-clear water. She exhales in relief and begins walking away. Seconds later, the river erupts with brilliant golden light. The crown rises gracefully from the water, hovering through the forest before once again placing itself perfectly on her head. The surrounding animals quietly bow as she stands frozen in disbelief. Scene 4 (15–20s) – The Ancient Truth Inside an abandoned royal temple hidden beneath the forest, countless ancient portraits of former queens line the walls. Dust floats through beams of sunlight. As the princess walks past, every portrait magically comes to life. Each queen is shown removing and throwing away the exact same crown before eventually wearing it again. The final portrait remains blank until golden magic slowly paints the princess's own face onto the canvas. She stares in shock as the realization overwhelms her. Scene 5 (20–25s) – The Crown Speaks The temple suddenly fills with brilliant golden light. The crown gently lifts itself off her head and floats before her at eye level. Ancient glowing runes circle around it while the room trembles softly with magic. A calm, powerful female voice echoes throughout the temple: "I never chose the throne... I chose you." The princess's expression changes from fear to quiet understanding as tears roll down her cheeks. Scene 6 (25–30s) – Accepting Her Destiny The princess slowly places the crown back onto her own head willingly for the first time. A magnificent wave of golden energy bursts across the kingdom. Flowers bloom instantly across the fields, dark clouds disappear, castle banners rise proudly in the wind, and the entire kingdom shines with renewed life. Her simple traveler's cloak transforms into an elegant royal gown adorned with glowing gold embroidery. The final cinematic shot pulls back high above the castle as she stands confidently on the balcony, looking over the kingdom she finally accepts as her own. The screen fades to black with the words: "Destiny cannot be escaped... only accepted."

🔥 MUST-WATCH: Fox News host Aishah Hasnie breaks down the findings from our latest Fox News Digital investigation into the "Delaney Hall 100" network behind the anti-ICE protests in Newark, New Jersey. Inside the secret network fueling anti-ICE uprisings: Documenting the 'Delaney Hall 100' and their secret Signal chats After reading the investigation, Aisha said, "It was epic." This segment is one of the reasons I appreciate working at Fox News Digital. Aishah and her talented team distilled a week of reporting, document review, field reporting, financial analysis and coalition mapping into a powerful 6-minute, 33-second piece that brings the story to life in a way only TV can do. Thank you, Aishah! Since last Thursday, when word spread that activists were mobilizing around Delaney Hall, I've been investigating the organizations, funding networks, communications infrastructure and coalition structure behind the protests outside the detention facility on Doremus Avenue. Huge credit to my colleagues Michael Dorgan and Preston Mizell, who spent hours on the ground documenting agitators, photographing signs and organizational branding and capturing video that helped identify many of the groups involved. We gpt valuable assistance from hi-tech researchers DataRepublican (small r) bitchuneedsoap ASTRA RCE, whose work helped me connect important pieces of the puzzle. I call them America's Digital Avengers. This story was reported under unusual circumstances. Much of my work happened from my father's hospital room while he battled sepsis and pneumonia. I worked between doctors' rounds during the day and through the night so he wouldn't wake up alone and disoriented. The good news: he's improving, now in rehab and on the road to recovery. The article is now live. You can read it at this link: Be sure to read it, and then watch the segment in full. Pay close attention to the Signal messages shown on screen. Many of them appear mundane at first glance, but together they reveal how organizers coordinate transportation, logistics, communications, supplies and on-the-ground operations. The story also includes the full communications guide referenced in the segment. It's a document outlining anti-ICE messaging, terminology and content strategy. "We should be very concerned about the Delaney Hall 100," Chuck Flint, a nonprofit expert and former U.S. Senate chief of staff, told me. "Protests like the kind we're seeing outside Delaney Hall are not organic protests. These are manufactured strategic, calculated endeavors by an army of nonprofits meant to push subversive activity. These groups generate annual revenues greater than many of the cities in which they protest. They act like military battalions with the ability to overwhelm a city's public safety resources." "It's David vs. Goliath," said Flint, who is also a former state prosecutor. Watch the video. Read the article. This is my favorite type of reporting: breaking the fourth wall on protest theater!

When mapping out a first-time adventure through Japan, it is incredibly easy to let the country's mega-cities completely dictate your route. Travel planning algorithms aggressively push a hyper-fast loop of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, causing most visitors to completely skip over the culturally rich chokepoint of the Ishikawa Prefecture. But on your next journey, you don't need to restrict yourself to just the loudest, most crowded locations. If you have around 11 days to spare, expanding your route into a 5-2-2-2 breakdown, incorporating five nights in Tokyo, two in Kanazawa, two in Kyoto, and two in Osaka, creates a beautifully balanced, immersive Japanese holiday. The secret weapon of this itinerary is Kanazawa. Sitting seamlessly on the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train line, it rests directly between Tokyo and Kyoto, making it an stress-free addition that requires just two and a half hours of transit out of the capital. Kanazawa escaped the devastating air raids of World War II, meaning its feudal neighborhoods are not modern reconstructions, but living pieces of untouched Edo-period history. Spend your first day stepping into the city’s traditional heart. Start at Omicho Market, a bustling culinary maze where locals have shopped for fresh Sea of Japan delicacies since the 1700s. From there, cross the Asano River to wander the wood-latticed alleys of the Higashi Chaya and Kazue-machi Chaya geisha districts. Make a definitive point to return to Higashi Chaya after dark; once the daytime shops close, the dark timber walls echo with the gentle plunk of the shamisen under the amber glow of traditional paper lanterns. Dedicate your second day to classic samurai and garden architecture. Kanazawa is home to Kenroku-en, universally revered as one of Japan’s three "Great Gardens," where meticulously trained pine trees shade reflecting ponds. Walk across the bridge to explore the expansive castle walls of Kanazawa Castle and its peaceful stone-walled sanctuary, Gyokuseninmaru Garden, before spending your afternoon tracing the mud-plastered walls and private canals of the Nagamachi Samurai District. Finally, your third day opens up a choice of three spectacular regional day trips. You can catch a direct bus from Kanazawa Station to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Shirakawa-go to photograph the iconic, steep-pitched gassho-zukuri farmhouses of Ogimachi Village. Alternatively, hop on a train to the hidden alpine valley of Takayama to explore the timber-framed merchant homes of Sanmachi Suji and browse the riverside Miyagawa Morning Market. If you are visiting during the winter months, your best move is to head into the mountains of Ishikawa to Hakusan Ichirino Onsen Ski Resort, where you can spend your day carving down snow-covered slopes before slipping into a piping-hot, mineral-dense outdoor onsen as the snow falls around you. It is a diverse, unforgettable detour that proves Japan's true soul is found when you venture just a few stops off the beaten path. 🎥 | IG

It was a cloudy day as the official #TelanganaRising delegation took a bullet train from Osaka to Kitakyushu, one of the world’s most advanced cities in recycling, environmental policies, and urban transformation. #Kitakyushu has evolved from one of the most polluted cities to one of the cleanest. ✅The Mayor of Kitakyushu, Mr. 北九州市長 武内和久🍀 Mayor of the City of Kitakyushu, extended a ceremonial welcome to Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy and his delegation, which included IT & Industries Minister Shri Minister Sridhar Babu and senior officials. The ceremony, held at the historic Kokura Castle, featured traditional Samurai sword performances and Taiko drumming. ✅During his address, Mayor Takeuchi shared a comprehensive presentation on Kitakyushu’s remarkable transformation—from a heavily industrialized, polluted city to one of the greenest and most environmentally sustainable cities in the world over the past few decades. He also expressed a desire for Kitakyushu’s government and companies to collaborate with #Hyderabad and Telangana, offering to share their knowledge, technologies, and experience to support Telangana's environmental efforts. ✅Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy, in his speech, stated, “It is a delight to witness the signing of Letters of Intent (LoIs) between our government and leading Japanese firms in the fields of circular economy, waste management, recycling, and environmental restoration. We are committed to both rapid development - creating jobs and wealth - and environmental protection. Sustainability is no longer a luxury or an optional choice. We are excited to work together to establish an Eco Town in #Hyderabad.” ✅He further added, “Today, as we witness agreements with firms like EX Research Institute, P9 LLC, Nippon Steel Engineering, New Chemical Trading, and Amita Holdings, we see the strength of our growing friendship. This is a special day for Kitakyushu and #Hyderabad - good friends. I agree it is time to explore Mayor Takeuchi’s idea of a sister-city agreement.” ✅“When we shake hands today, we are building a bridge that connects and benefits both cities and societies. We are shaping the future for generations to come. We share a vision - clean, circular, green, and sustainable. Your Eco Town shows what is possible when innovation meets commitment. I want the same for Hyderabad, and for it to become a Net Zero target Future City.” ✅Industries Minister Shri Sridhar Babu elaborated on Telangana’s growth and transformational plans, outlining opportunities for Japanese firms to invest across various sectors. “When you come to invest in Telangana, as our Chief Minister reiterates, you will find a friendly government, robust infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and a host of completed initiatives aligned with environmental and green innovation. Come and grow in Telangana,” Shri Sridhar Babu said. ✅Several collaborative ideas were discussed. The Japanese side proposed a direct flight between the two cities, while the Chief Minister requested a Japanese-language school to be established in Hyderabad. “You are facing a demographic challenge and need young people for various roles. We have the talent and skills - but the key gap is language. Our people need to learn Japanese,” he remarked. Both sides also discussed the need to establish a mechanism to set time-bound goals, conduct regular reviews, and track progress to meet multiple objectives during their collaboration. ✅Kitakyushu, one of the northernmost cities on Japan’s Kyushu Island, is surrounded by Katsuyama Park, known for its spring cherry blossoms. It is also renowned for the successful rejuvenation of the Murasaki River - once polluted and dying - into one of the cleanest and most vibrant riverfronts, driving large-scale development. ✅The city’s officials then took the Chief Minister and his delegation on a study tour of the River Museum, showcasing the river restoration project and its implementation. The delegation also walked along the riverfront and toured industrial recycling facilities to gain practical insights into global technologies and best practices in the circular economy. #InvestInTelangana #CMJapanTour2025 #HyderabadForSustainability #UrbanTransformation

🚨 Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis just dropped some hard truths about the real reason behind the 🇺🇸U.S.-🇨🇳China trade war. And no, it’s not about “fair trade” — it’s about survival. 🧵 1/ The U.S. doesn’t fear China because of “cheap labor” or “IP theft.” What it truly fears is China’s capacity to undermine the U.S.-led global financial order — the very system that allows America to print dollars and buy the world. 2/ Wall Street’s aging financial architecture is losing its grip. It can’t control crypto flows. It can’t keep up with new financial ecosystems. China — with its digital yuan, vast industrial base, and rising global influence — is the first real threat to this system. 3/ Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” were never about balancing trade. They were a desperate attempt to slow down China’s rise and protect the dollar system from collapse. Because if China succeeds, the U.S. loses its magic weapon: monetary dominance. 4/ Today, Trump is laser-focused on America’s financial core: • The Treasury bond market (America’s lifeline) • The stock market (America’s wallet) Both are fragile. And any external pressure could trigger a chain reaction. 5/ The U.S. is now panicking over who’s selling off U.S. Treasuries. China? Japan? Others? Trump reportedly wants to punish any surplus country that dumps Treasuries — with tariffs, of course. This is not about trade. It’s about a dying empire trying to stop the bleeding. 6/ In short, America is no longer confident in its own financial fortress. And China is no longer playing by the old rules. This isn’t just a trade war — it’s a war for the future of global finance.

The last Japanese soldier to formally surrender after the country's defeat in WWII was Hiroo Onoda... Lieutenant Onoda finally handed over his sword on March 9th 1974. He had held out in the Philippine jungle for 29 years. In interviews and writings after his return to Japan, Lt Onoda said he had been unable to accept that Japan had capitulated. To many outsiders, Onoda looked like a fanatic. But in imperial Japan his actions were perfectly logical. Onoda had sworn never to surrender, to die for the emperor. He believed the rest of his countrymen, and women, would do the same. Of course they hadn't. On 15 August 1945, Japan's supreme divine being, Emperor Hirohito, did something no emperor had done before: he went on the radio. Atom bombs had destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On the day the second bomb was dropped, Joseph Stalin declared war on Japan. Soviet forces were already sweeping across Manchuria. Within weeks they would be landing on the northern island of Hokkaido. Hirohito accepted that surrender to the Americans was his best choice. Even so, the emperor's surrender speech nearly didn't happen. On the morning of 15 August, a group of young officers led their troops in to the imperial palace grounds. They were trying to seize the recording of that speech. They believed the war was far from lost. Japan's home islands had yet to be invaded. Its vast army in China was still largely undefeated. The officers were little concerned by mass civilian casualties inflicted by the US bombing of Japan's cities. Instead they were focused on one thing: the survival of the imperial system. Japan must not sue for peace until the emperor was secured. The young officers failed to stop the broadcast. But they got their wish - after the surrender the US decided Hirohito would not be tried as a war criminal after all. Instead he would stay on the throne, effectively an American puppet. It was perhaps a shrewd move by Douglas MacArthur, the US general who ruled over Japan until 1949. MacArthur used the emperor to push his own agenda - to transform conservative Japan in to a modern democracy with an American-style constitution. The victorious allies put 28 members of Japan's wartime leadership on trial. Seven, including Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, were hanged. But others were never charged. Among them Prince Yasuhiko Asaka, the emperor's uncle, and the man who led Japanese troops in the infamous rape of the Chinese capital, Nanjing. Sparing them was seen by MacArthur as a necessary evil. But his decision has allowed, even encouraged, Japan to avoid a deep reckoning with its past. Another man who escaped trial was Nobusuke Kishi. Kishi had played a leading role in the occupation of Manchuria and was a close ally of war leader Hideki Tojo. Americans decided not to charge him. Instead in 1948 Kishi was released. He was banned from politics while the American occupation lasted. But in 1955, Kishi engineered the formation of a new political force - the Liberal Democratic Party. Soon he would be its leader and Japan's prime minister. His rehabilitation was complete, and the party he helped create has ruled over Japan for most of the proceeding 65 years. Nobusuke Kishi's daughter married the son of another powerful political dynasty - a man named Shintaro Abe. He would go on to become Japan's foreign minister, and to father a son of his own, named Shinzo. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is far from unique in his family history. Japan's political dynasties have proved remarkably resilient. Shinzo Abe was reputedly close to his grandfather. The old man had a profound influence on young Shinzo's political views. Like many of his allies on the right, Nobusuke Kishi thought the war-crimes trials he narrowly escaped were victor's justice. His life-long goal remained the scrapping of the post war pacifist constitution. © BBC #archaeohistories

The last Japanese soldier to formally surrender after the country's defeat in WWII was Hiroo Onoda... Lieutenant Onoda finally handed over his sword on March 9th 1974. He had held out in the Philippine jungle for 29 years. In interviews and writings after his return to Japan, Lt Onoda said he had been unable to accept that Japan had capitulated. To many outsiders, Onoda looked like a fanatic. But in imperial Japan his actions were perfectly logical. Onoda had sworn never to surrender, to die for the emperor. He believed the rest of his countrymen, and women, would do the same. Of course they hadn't. On 15 August 1945, Japan's supreme divine being, Emperor Hirohito, did something no emperor had done before: he went on the radio. Atom bombs had destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On the day the second bomb was dropped, Joseph Stalin declared war on Japan. Soviet forces were already sweeping across Manchuria. Within weeks they would be landing on the northern island of Hokkaido. Hirohito accepted that surrender to the Americans was his best choice. Even so, the emperor's surrender speech nearly didn't happen. On the morning of 15 August, a group of young officers led their troops in to the imperial palace grounds. They were trying to seize the recording of that speech. They believed the war was far from lost. Japan's home islands had yet to be invaded. Its vast army in China was still largely undefeated. The officers were little concerned by mass civilian casualties inflicted by the US bombing of Japan's cities. Instead they were focused on one thing: the survival of the imperial system. Japan must not sue for peace until the emperor was secured. The young officers failed to stop the broadcast. But they got their wish - after the surrender the US decided Hirohito would not be tried as a war criminal after all. Instead he would stay on the throne, effectively an American puppet. It was perhaps a shrewd move by Douglas MacArthur, the US general who ruled over Japan until 1949. MacArthur used the emperor to push his own agenda - to transform conservative Japan in to a modern democracy with an American-style constitution. The victorious allies put 28 members of Japan's wartime leadership on trial. Seven, including Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, were hanged. But others were never charged. Among them Prince Yasuhiko Asaka, the emperor's uncle, and the man who led Japanese troops in the infamous rape of the Chinese capital, Nanjing. Sparing them was seen by MacArthur as a necessary evil. But his decision has allowed, even encouraged, Japan to avoid a deep reckoning with its past. Another man who escaped trial was Nobusuke Kishi. Kishi had played a leading role in the occupation of Manchuria and was a close ally of war leader Hideki Tojo. Americans decided not to charge him. Instead in 1948 Kishi was released. He was banned from politics while the American occupation lasted. But in 1955, Kishi engineered the formation of a new political force - the Liberal Democratic Party. Soon he would be its leader and Japan's prime minister. His rehabilitation was complete, and the party he helped create has ruled over Japan for most of the proceeding 65 years.

is our AI project to make computing feel more human L A N D E R Here are the 4 best demo videos of the magic of DATA in action. DATA is a personalized assistant who knows and remembers every conversation you have with it accross your iPhone, Mac, iPad, Watch, Texts, Emails, and HomePods. You can talk to DATA right in your AirPods or text it just like a person. DATA can read, write, understand, speak any language, and translate between them. It can help with real work and home life tasks like research, writing, scheduling, reminders, and triage. And it's easily customizable so you can have DATA automatically do whatever you want whenever you want with just a few taps and natural language instructions - no code required. DATA can do just about anything you can do on your phone on your behalf automatically including very advanced things Siri can't, like summarizing, analyzing, and drafting replies or writing documents. It can read web pages, texts or emails you show it, or PDFs of any kind. It can do other real world tasks that require complex analysis and common sense too, like: - figure out where the nearest beach is (even when you're in Colorado) and instantly fetch the current surf report up to the current minute. - summarize and drafting replies to entire email chains - plan out entire work projects or multi-day vacations on your calendar - sketch out ideas for you in picture form or drafting Notion pages with charts and graphs. DATA can also use its own judgement to determine when to run an action or not, even if you've scheduled it, allowing you to make VERY complex automations that require many different inputs to make a decision, like for example: - only opening the blinds on your lunch break if it's sunny out and you're working from home. DATA works natively and easily with Apple HomeKit & other shortcuts. DATA can also take initiative and check in with you throughout the day by voice or text and proactively send messages to you and others on your behalf based on your personal and professional goals, current tasks, and calendar. DATA can integrate with many apps on your phone, and is compatible with multiple large AI language models. I've gotten to make a few demo videos that I think really capture how powerful DATA can be for every day life. Here they are all in one tweet. Make sure your sound is on as you watch them. 1. This is the first demo video I ever made from April 19th, 2023. It walks through all the ways you can interact with and use the DATA shortcuts. Everything from saying "Hey Siri" to tapping on custom apps on your home-screen. 2. The second demo video was made May 5 and is an example use case I made of how commands work - commands allow DATA to actually run actions on your phone like taking pictures and sending messages. This demo shows me taking a picture of an email template, and data drafting an email based on that template. It's gotten much better at realizing when it has just run a command and incorporating that information naturally into the conversation now, especially on GPT-4. 3. This third Commands video, May 12 is a walkthrough of ALL the phone functions that commands allow DATA to do: sending texts and emails, making pictures, seeing pictures, reading things, and scheduling events. Since this video we've added auto-replies to texts and emails, summarizing documents, writing documents, health app data retrieval, web surfing, scheduling alarms, making playlists, and more. 4. This last demo I made today, June 15, shows everything DATA does working in concert to generate a crazy detailed morning briefing with background music - including making a unique playlist and giving a detailed analysis of current events complete with Ski & Surf conditions near me other live information from the internet. So now that you've seen everything DATA can do, what's the coolest feature? What features should we add? What would you use DATA for first?

On the invasion in Cueta: THEY ALWAYS TELL YOU Today this film that has lived in my head for over 30 years comes to life in front of my eyes. 'The March' is a 1990 film shaped after 'Camp of the Saints' - A group of several thousand Africans migrate westward across northern Africa and sail across the Strait of Gibraltar to Europe. Their message is: "We are poor because you are rich." Why do I remember it? I was a child when I saw it. But some of the images were haunting in a way I cannot describe. For over 30 years - THIRTY YEARS - I have thought of this scene...the migrants slowly moving into quaint British towns, peering through windows at unsuspecting families, invading homes, demanding what those fat, rich Westerners have. When I tell you not a week goes by where I haven't thought of it, I mean it. Not. One. Week. Watching those Muslim men pouring into Cueta brought it to mind, although I had no idea what it was called. The magic of modern AI led me back to it and I have chills watching this again. Listen to the tv host as he says, "It's a publicly stated attempt to come into our streets, our homes, and shame us into helping them. Or, as they say...WATCH US DIE." They always tell you what their intentions are. They always tell you what they're going to do. And look at the studio audience in this film. Completely white. Is there anywhere in the UK you can see that anymore? From 1990 to today...that's how long it took to bring the magic of the movies to life. But it's here now. Yes, they always tell you. In 1990 I would have been 15 years old. 15yo me was hardly conservative. Still, this scene in particular stuck with me and has been locked away in my brain since that moment. Frankly, it's almost a relief to spill it out onto the page finally. I think this flag planted in 15yo me because that little girl was way more intuitive then I've ever given her credit for. 15yo me knew there was something ominous in the presentation, and she filed it away for a time when she wasn't completely submerged in a socialist household. 15yo me saw something dastardly, a warning. I couldn't articulate that at the time. I probably even felt an affinity for the migrants at the time. And yet, this scene has never left me. Today, I understand. Today I finally see. This was a projection...an announcement. 36 years... These globalists are patient. They don't mind moving slowly. They've been executing the reality of this film for that long, and now they have arrived. A full scale invasion, much like the premise of this film. They always tell you. We need to recognize the long game, and understand that the incremental changes are not to be ignored. They are part of the plan. It may be too late for Spain, for Europe. They did not heed the warnings given by the globalist elites themselves. They are overwhelmed and disarmed. America: I believe the Lord tattooed my heart with that movie and this scene for this very day - for me to tell you - THIS IS US. WE ARE NEXT. The invasion is coming and it will look exactly as they planned and exactly as they told us. We have already experienced a bit of this during Biden, but that was a fraction of what is to come. Heed these warnings. It is time to close ranks and protect what is ours. They have already announced themselves. We can no longer be so foolish as to believe they didn't really mean it. They always tell you.

GPS—Minneapolis, Minnesota, protests today, Friday, January 30, 2026. Without revealing proprietary technology, tactics, and methods, understand that if someone uses a Faraday bag or even leaves their device at home, we can still reconcile their likely movements and location. In fact, it's after dispersal that the real data exploitation begins. When a large protest happens—especially one that isn’t institutionally approved—you can always assume it’s being mapped in real time by every intelligence and policing network with overlap to that jurisdiction. They don’t “watch” in the traditional sense; they analyze systems. The modern apparatus doesn’t care about shouting crowds; it cares about data signatures. Every phone becomes a tracker beacon. Even if “location off” is toggled, the phone still emits continuous metadata: Cell-tower handoffs (triangulation gives position within meters) Wi‑Fi pings (routers log MAC addresses) Bluetooth scans and proximity signals IMSI catchers (“Stingrays”) mimic cell towers, forcing all nearby phones to connect. That gives agencies mass identifier lists and movement paths. Device fingerprinting: once a phone’s radio signature is logged, it can be matched later even with a new SIM. License‑plate readers (ALPRs) tie individuals’ physical locations to digital ones. All of this gets piped into fusion centers, where predictive models weigh “social stability indexes” and generate risk ratings on protesters. Before, during, and after demonstrations, my team and I rely on automated social-media ingestion. Pattern mapping: bots scan hashtags, Telegram channels, Discord groups, Signal, and even “private” messaging servers that leak metadata. Sentiment clustering: AI classifies users as organizers, participants, sympathizers, or hostile observers. Social‑graph scoring: once a few key IDs are confirmed, algorithms find second‑ and third‑degree ties—family, employer, affiliations. That’s how protests get “pre‑neutralized.” Not by arrests, but by psychological operations: deplatforming, malware, intimidation messages, or pressure on employers to deter attendance. Even if data is encrypted end‑to‑end, traffic analysis (who talks to whom, when) exposes networks and leads to the identification of each user. The crowds marching through downtown Minneapolis on January 30, 2026, against ICE deportations and enforcement actions (as part of the nationwide "economic blackout" or National Shutdown) are primarily local residents from the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including Minneapolis and St. Paul, with strong participation from Minnesota-based community members. Key groups and demographics in the crowd include: Labor unions and workers — Significant involvement from unions like the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation (AFL-CIO), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Communications Workers of America, and others. University of Minnesota student groups (including Black- and Somali-led organizations), along with students from walkouts at local schools and campuses. Groups such as COPAL (Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina), TakeAction Minnesota, Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, and faith-based coalitions like the Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration (ICOM) and ISAIAH MN were present. Participation from national and local entities included 50501, CodePink, Defend Immigrant Families Campaign, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Palestinian Youth Movement, and socialist-leaning groups (e.g., Twin Cities DSA, Party for Socialism and Liberation). Clergy, faith leaders, and neighborhood rapid response networks were also present. Data analysis combined with CCTV feeds shows a mix of families (including parents with kids), teachers, nurses, social workers, clergy, activists, and residents from various backgrounds. Interesting, there were at least 100 of these little beauties in the crowd. "Flipper Zero" is still the most iconic "pocket multi-tool" in 2026. Sub-GHz, RFID/NFC, IR, iButton, GPIO, BadUSB emulation. Huge community, custom firmwares (Unleashed, RogueMaster, Xtreme). It's the gadget that non-hackers recognize as "hacker stuff" and many actual pentesters carry one. 😎
