[Seoul Economic TV] Japan is currently experiencing 'TaeTae' fever"… BTS V sweeps Japanese advertisement boards and ranks No. 1 for 276 consecutive weeks 🗣️BTS V has once again demonstrated his unrivaled status by securing first place for an incredible 276 consecutive weeks in a major popularity poll in Japan. From the 6th to the 12th, V once again firmly held onto the top spot in the weekly poll conducted by the well-known Japanese idol popularity ranking site Nehan. With this latest result, he has achieved the remarkable feat of remaining in first place without losing the lead even once for more than five years. In addition, he has swept first place across numerous popularity polls on K-pop websites, K-culture platforms, and even a Japanese "Best Male Actor" election, winning by overwhelming margins throughout the entire voting period. This further demonstrates the intense popularity he enjoys in Japan. Such an exceptionally strong level of recognition in Japan has naturally led to a wave of active local marketing campaigns by global brands. A leading Japanese beauty brand selected V as the face of the brand and has been carrying out extensive television commercials and promotional campaigns. Some of the products he endorsed reportedly sold out completely as soon as they reached store shelves. In addition, global companies such as Coca-Cola and Paradise City have been launching large-scale marketing campaigns featuring V prominently across major Japanese cities, including Tokyo and Osaka, benefiting significantly from what has become known as the "V Effect." Most recently, HiteJinro, which appointed V as its Global Ambassador, has also begun an aggressive marketing campaign through its Japanese subsidiary, drawing attention from fans around the world. Meanwhile, Japan's Fuji TV featured V's achievement of surpassing 75 million followers on his personal social media account as a dedicated news segment on its flagship morning information program, Mezamashi TV, placing a spotlight on his extraordinary influence. With the combination of fans' unwavering support that has sustained his record-breaking streak at the top of long-running popularity polls, his overwhelming social media influence, and the continued success of his brand campaigns, V's dominant reign across Japan is expected to continue well into the future.

A man who claimed he’s a Taiwanese studying in Japan after being arrested for hugging a Japanese idol from behind and pushing her to the ground in Shibuya, Tokyo, last month turns out to be 🇨🇳 Chinese and has been rearrested‼️ Nov 18: Tokyo police served a fresh arrest warrant on Zhao Lei — a 42-year-old 🇨🇳 man studying in Japan — who assaulted Japanese celebrity Haruna Kojima (小嶋陽菜) — a former member of pop group AKB48 — on Oct 28 on suspicion of violating the anti-stalking law. Zhao said he liked Kojima and that people around her did not allow him to meet her. Zhao is suspected of ambushing Kojima several times since around August, including near event venues in Tokyo. Zhao was originally arrested on the spot after hugging Kojima and pushing her down just after she came out of the venue of an event commemorating the release of her photo book in Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward around 9 pm on Oct 28. In August, people linked to Kojima consulted with Tokyo’s Metropolitan Police Department about the suspect, saying that a radical fan had been making a fuss at events since around April. news article about the rearrest and Zhao’s real nationality (Japanese) 👉🏻 news article about the rearrest and Zhao’s real nationality (Japanese) 👉🏻 news article about the rearrest and Zhao’s real nationality (English) 👉🏻 news article about the assault (English) 👉🏻 news article about the assault (English) 👉🏻 upper right video 👉🏻 + lower right video 👉🏻

Gambling companies are finding loopholes to entice vulnerable people back onto their platform - even when people have decided they want to stop gambling and self excluded on BetStop. This is what happens when you leave gaps that can be exploited by what is known to be a predatory industry. And it shows what will happen if the Government opts for a partial ban on gambling ads, rather than a full ban. The late Labor MP Peta Murphy and her committee report gave us the blueprint for change, it's time for the government to implement the Murphy Report recommendations in full. If you want to read more, this is from Peta Murphy's Foreword to the committee report: "Online gambling companies advertise so much in Australia because it works. Online gambling has been deliberately and strategically marketed alongside sport, which has normalised it as a fun, harmless, and sociable activity that is part of a favourite pastime. Gambling advertising is grooming children and young people to gamble and encourages riskier behaviour. The torrent of advertising is inescapable. It is manipulating an impressionable and vulnerable audience to gamble online. Australia’s largest professional sporting codes and broadcast media were largely in lockstep with their advertising and sponsorship partners in the gambling industry during this inquiry to oppose further restrictions. The Committee shares the concerns of many witnesses and the community that the status quo is leading to a generation of young Australians who view gambling and sport as inextricably linked. This is concerning, not only because of the potential increase in Australians experiencing gambling harm, but also about changes to the culture of sport. Australia would be diminished if sport was to be so captured by gambling revenue that providing an opportunity for betting came to be seen as its primary purpose. A phased, comprehensive ban on all gambling advertising on all media – broadcast and online, that leaves no room for circumvention, is needed. Partial bans on gambling advertising do not work. The 2017 media reforms resulted in gambling advertising on television increasing. Harmful industries have shown they will identify and capitalise on any gaps in marketing restrictions and that they are taking advantage of the less regulated online environment. The advertising ban should be enforced sequentially, with advertising that has the highest risk of harm to be addressed immediately. To enable sporting bodies and broadcasters adequate time to locate alternative sources of advertising revenue and to comply with current contractual obligations, the Committee recommends that the comprehensive ban be phased in over a three-year period."

TRUSTLESSNESS For decades, the world argued about money the way blind men argued about an elephant - each touching a different part, each convinced the others were fools. Banks built walls. Nations built rules. Technologists built experiments. Lawyers built delays. And value - real value - bled out slowly through friction, corruption, and mistrust. Then, quietly, something different was built. Not a rebellion against law. Not a promise of chaos disguised as freedom. Not a speculative tower leaning on belief alone. It was built the way bridges are built - with math that doesn’t bend, with rules that don’t negotiate, with architecture that assumes human failure and survives it anyway. The XRP Ledger did not ask permission from ideology. It submitted only to truth. Its design was simple enough to be elegant and rigid enough to be final. No mining. No energy theater. No governance theater. Settlement was not “eventual.” It was done. Finality meant finality - because value, like truth, cannot stutter. Around it formed something even more dangerous to pretenders: compliance without compromise. While others ran from regulation, the XRPL absorbed it - like a well-built hull cutting through water. Law did not weaken it. Law validated it. Courts clarified it. Regulators circled it. Institutions tested it. None could break it, because none could point to a flaw that mattered. And then came the translators. Because the world was never going to agree on one ledger, one currency, or one system. Babel was baked into humanity. So instead of forcing sameness, the Interledger Protocol did something wiser - it honored difference. ILP didn’t conquer ledgers. It connected them. Like TCP/IP for value, it made borders irrelevant without making sovereignty obsolete. Each system stayed sovereign. Each ledger stayed independent. And yet - value could move between them as effortlessly as meaning moves between languages. No empire. No monopoly. No coercion. Just translation. Then the signal became impossible to ignore. When the DTCC, the plumbing of the world’s largest capital markets, designated XRP as usable collateral, it wasn’t a headline - it was a verdict. Quiet. Boring. Final. The kind of decision that only happens after every risk has already been interrogated and dismissed. That’s when the noise faded. Because the truth became uncomfortable: There was no second system. Not one. Not a single competitor that combined: • deterministic finality • sovereign independence • regulatory survivability • ledger-agnostic interoperability • institutional-grade liquidity • and collateral recognition at the core of global markets Others had speed but no law. Others had law but no scale. Others had vision but no settlement. Others had narratives - but narratives don’t clear trades. The XRPL didn’t win by conquest. It won by being the only thing that worked everywhere reality mattered. And slowly, the world adjusted - not because it was forced to, but because gravity doesn’t ask for votes. Truth doesn’t need marketing. Bridges don’t argue with rivers. And value, when finally given a lawful, neutral, incorruptible path, always takes the shortest route home. That route already exists. It isn’t loud. It isn’t fragile. And it isn’t replaceable. It’s simply there - waiting for the world to finish catching up to what was designed correctly the first time. Ripple Interledger Foundation DTCC OCC NYDFS Treasury Department CFTC President Donald J. Trump

Caitlyn Jenner gets respect from a lot of people for a simple reason: she says the quiet part out loud, and she says it as someone who actually transitioned. She won Olympic gold in the men’s decathlon in 1976. In 2015 she came out as a transgender woman. She didn’t then pretend biology disappeared. She has said, in her own words, that she is still genetically male — XY — and that nothing she did changed that. She has also said she declined women’s golf events because she could still outdrive the field. That is not a pundit talking. That is someone applying the same standard to herself. Her line has been consistent for years: live how you want, use the name and pronouns you want, but men’s bodies after male puberty do not belong in the women’s category. “It’s biology, it is not about exclusion or not being tolerant,” she posted. “Someone trans has to do it. Men don’t belong in women’s sports. Period.” She keeps coming back to Title IX — the law that built women’s sports — and to the idea that if you let XY into XX categories, you slowly erase the point of having a women’s category at all. That is why people who disagree with activist orthodoxy like her. Most public figures in her position either stay silent or repeat the script. Jenner does neither. She treats fairness in sport as more important than being applauded by every activist org. She backed local bans, praised the IOC’s move toward SRY-gene screening for female events, and called the WNBA’s hedging hypocrisy: “XX you’re in. XY you’re out. It’s that simple.” Critics call that a contradiction. She has even joked about the tension herself, including returning a “Woman of the Year” honor while arguing biological males should stay out of women’s competition. Whether you find that brave or inconsistent, it is not evasive. She is not asking the world to deny she transitioned. She is asking it not to deny sex when trophies, scholarships, and locker rooms are on the line. That combination of personal experience plus an unwillingness to lie about male advantage is why a lot of people respect her even when they don’t agree with everything else she says. She is not performing solidarity. She is drawing a line she thinks women’s sports cannot survive without.

Please like and retweet (X algorithm limits my views) The background leading up to the desperate Hamas Operation/ Israel's final solution for the Palestinians. There is a bug in modern international law, that is, intentionally causing people in other countries to starve to death does not constitute a violation of human rights, nor does it constitute massacre. This creepy anti-humanity BUG was developed by Israel with great pains. Do you know that the inventor of modern terrorism is Israel? It's not without reason that we associate Mossad with assassinations and terror attacks. It's in their DNA. In the 10 years before Israel was created, from 1937 to 1947, Israel launched at least 50 major terrorist attacks, blowing up 814 civilian aircrafts, two trains, one ship, and razing 385 Arab villages to the ground. Note that the above are only "major" terrorist attacks. Between 1947 and 1949, Israel attacked major Palestinian cities, destroying some 530 villages and killing some 15,000 Palestinians in a series of mass atrocities, including dozens of massacres. On April 9, 1948, Zionist forces carried out one of the most notorious massacres of the war in the village of Deir Yassin, on the western outskirts of Jerusalem, where more than 110 men, women, and children were killed by the Zionist militia of the Irgun and Stern Gang. During this period, 750.000 Palestinians were driven from their homes and became refugees in their own ancestral land. Refugees have the right under international law to return to their displaced homes and to recover their property. So Israel's current occupation of Israel is illegal. If you feel that these cold numbers are meaningless, let's look at more detailed descriptions and look at some "small terrorist attacks" that are "insignificant". On December 11, 1947, Israeli terrorists threw bombs into a bus full of Arabs from a truck, killing six Arab civilians on the spot and injuring more than 30 people. This kind of terrorist act was carried out on a daily basis by Israeli terrorists at that time, "insignificant" trivial incidents randomly picked out from historical records. Bombing Arab buses was as casual as eating and drinking. Only bombing planes, trains and ships can be called "Big Terrorist Attack". Israel is the father of modern terrorism. Later, all terrorists were inspired by examples set by Israelis. With this forceful means of expressing "protest", Israel's demand for statehood was finally met by the United Nations, and the Israel state was successfully established in 1948. It was assumed that Israelis would stop such terrorist attacks once they are given a state. Before the founding of the Israel state, 14 passenger planes were bombed, but those were all planes parked at the airport, so not much of a challenge for the Israelis. The first terrorist attack in human history to hijack a civilian airliner was invented by Israel. In December 1954, Israeli terrorists hijacked a civilian airliner in Syria and this form of terrorism was born. However due to the systematic suppression of unsavoury terrorist acts carried out by Israel, these acts are now associated with Islamists. It's very likely that Mossad organized the "brilliant" 911 in cooperation with CIA. Only after strong condemnation from the international community and having won several Middle East wars with the support of the United States and having gained numerous advantages (US military aid, hundreds of billions of USD worth's compensation from Germany) did Israel begin to become more "respectable" and endeavored to cultivate its image. Israel's genetic impulse to engage in terrorist attacks was temporarily put on hold for a while. After all, Israel has become a strong power from a once weak ethnic group. The PR cost for terrorist attacks was too high. (Thread will be continued) Video: Gaza after Israeli bombings

6 January 2006. High Court Kampala. Kizza Besigye stepped out of a vehicle in a checked shirt, his wife Winnie Byanyima at his side. He was the main opposition candidate for president. He was also on trial for rape. The charges had been brought just two weeks after he returned from exile to challenge Museveni. The Verdict That Shook the Regime: Justice Katutsi, Besigye, the State - 2006 Besigye's troubles had begun years earlier. In November 1999, while still a senior figure within the Movement, he authored a blistering dossier critiquing the system, calling for constitutional reform, demilitarisation of the state, and an empowered civil society. It was the first time a high-ranking insider had publicly challenged Museveni's inner circle. That paper became both his declaration of independence and his political death warrant. After contesting and losing the 2001 elections, he fled into exile, citing threats to his life. When he returned in 2005 to run again, the state pounced. The rape charge dated back to 1997 but was brought just two weeks after his return, alleging he had assaulted a family friend who, by her own admission, had returned to his home several times afterward. The case unfolded amid treason accusations and violent street clashes. Radio talk shows were banned from mentioning his name. Posters supporting him were outlawed. Soldiers ringed the courthouse. Interior Affairs Minister Ruhakana Rugunda insisted the ban on demonstrations was to ensure a fair trial, but no one missed the message: Challenge the regime, and the system will crush you. Uganda was watching a political trial dressed as criminal justice. Judge John Bosco Katutsi saw through the charade. In March 2006, he dismissed the rape charges in a scathing judgment, calling the investigations "crude and amateurish." He questioned the credibility of the alleged victim and castigated the state for abusing judicial processes to settle political scores. "I find that the prosecution dismally failed to prove its case against the accused," he declared. Supporters in court erupted. For a moment, the judiciary stood as a fragile check on executive overreach. But the damage had already been done. Besigye had appeared in court 25 times during the campaign period, his movements restricted, his image tarnished. Museveni won with 59% of the vote; Besigye trailed with 37%. "This case has had a serious adverse effect on me personally, my family, and the Forum for Democratic Change as a whole," he said. The verdict had shaken the regime, but the regime had not fallen. Besigye walked free. The system that had tried to cage him remained intact. #ughistory #Besigye Winnie Byanyima Kifefe Kizza-Besigye Uganda Law Society Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda Uganda Law Students Association Uganda Law Reform Commission

Warren Buffett on why having less money can be one of the biggest advantages in investing: When asked about the best period of his investing career, Warren Buffett pointed to his early years — not because he had more resources, but because he had far less capital to manage. "My best period was right after I met Ben Graham in early 1951. From the end of 1950 through the next 10 years, returns averaged about 50% a year... but I was working with a tiny tiny tiny amount of money." Buffett explained that he spent countless hours searching for overlooked opportunities, reviewing thousands of pages of company information by hand. "I went through the pages of the manuals page by page. I probably went through 20,000 pages in the Moody's industrial, transportation, banks and finance manuals. And I did it twice. I actually looked at every business." Because he was investing relatively small amounts, he could buy into tiny, deeply undervalued companies that would have been too insignificant for large investment firms. The result? He'd find one or two businesses he could put $10,000 or $15,000 into that were 'ridiculously cheap. As Buffett's capital grew, however, those opportunities became less meaningful. "As soon as you start getting the money up into the millions, many millions, the curve on expectable results falls off just dramatically." He argues that individual investors with small portfolios and a willingness to do the research can often access opportunities that are unavailable to large institutions. "If you're working with a small sum of money and you're really interested in the business and willing to do the work, there's no question in my mind. You will find some things that promise very large returns compared to what we will be able to deliver with large sums of money." Charlie Munger added that investors with limited capital should embrace areas of the market that large firms often ignore. "A brilliant man who can't get any money from other people and is working with a very small sum probably should work in very obscure stocks searching out unusual mispriced opportunities." Buffett also observed that many talented people on Wall Street choose a different path — not by seeking exceptional investment performance, but by managing other people's money. "Most smart people in Wall Street figure that they can make a lot more money, a lot easier, by getting an override on other people's money... the monetization of hope and greed is a way to make a huge amount of money." To illustrate the point, he recalled a friend with little investing success who was nevertheless planning to launch a large hedge fund. "If you looked at this fellow's schedule D on his 1040 for the last 20 years, you'd think he ought to be mowing lawns. But he may get his 125 million." Buffett concluded by arguing that, on Wall Street, marketing often earns more than investment skill. "The biggest money made in Wall Street in recent years has not been made by great performance, but has been made by great promotion."

So what’s up with Trump? Trump is only two things, and both have been proven to be an absolute disaster for the country. He is stupid, and he is a narcissist. Let’s prove this. Trump is a silver-spooned child who never read a book, and whose only interests for the longest time were women and superficial pursuits. That’s it. This is a man with no morals a man who cheated on both wives and failed in multiple businesses in almost Failproof condition set up by his father and now he is using the presidency to secure Gaza real estate for himself and his son in law. This is a guy who had the best team, MTG, Massie, Elon, Vivek, Joe Kent, Tucker, Charlie, Candace and even Megyn kelly, all of them supported him and literally helped put him in power. If Trump thinks he won on his own, he needs a reality check. He won because of those people. He won because he said there would be no more wars and that people like Lindsey Graham (the swamp) wouldn’t be anywhere near decision-making. The harsh critics of him and the same people who tried to kill him, are his closest allies today. And this complete idiot has managed to push out every sane voice around him. Every single one. Elon got close to auditing Pentagon and was effectively sidelined. He was offended, his business was impacted by Trump’s decisions and although he tried to make peace, he is nowhere near Trump’s inner circle anymore. Vivek was pushed out right away. Then Candace. Then Charlie was effectively silenced by a bullet in his neck and instead of demanding answers pushing his own FBI guy for transparency, demanding names, autopsy reports, and full details Trump did nothing! He did nothing. He is not brave he is a coward and a bully. He’s only strong against sanctioned countries that can’t fight back, nations targeted by his predecessors simply because they refused to bow down and hand over their resources to the corporate America. Meanwhile, the same system enriches entrenched power at home, allowing corporate elites to grow into massive monopolies that squeeze the middle class out of existence, untouched. That wealth they took from latino America is not for Americans, it's for Blackrock, Israel etc, you saw it first hand. Iran won't be for American people either. He keeps calling Charlie his friend, but he did nothing for Charlie. No, Trump doesn’t have friends. He has opportunities. He uses people, then gets rid of them once these people show that they also have their own opinions and they want to be heard. Then came Tucker. Anyone who challenged Trump or reminded him of his own limitations was quickly dismissed. Meanwhile, political opportunists like Graham who have been playing the game for far too long realized they’re dealing with a narcissist. All they need to do is praise him constantly, constantly! Tell him how great he is, how everything he says is brilliant, unprecedented, amazing and that’s it, you've got his attention. Then they feed him bad information while reinforcing his thinking. That’s how manipulation works: you guide someone toward your idea while making them believe it was their own idea. Intelligence agencies have mastered this and Trump is an easy target, he is absolutely a stupid narcissist the easiest target for a trained intelligence apparatus.We are seeing this play out in real time, the unexplained shift and the strange conflicts with people who once supported him. One thing Trump is not is an actor. He can’t act, not even for the sake of politics, so none of his pre-presidential stances were act and he did believe what he was saying before. The problem is that he is uneducated, impulsive and Stupid when you add narcissism to this you get the perfect recipe for disaster. So now we have Trump aligned with the very group he claimed to be fighting against. This is a vulnerable spot for the country, uninformed leader who doesn’t understand geography, history, politics or foreign policy. He can’t distinguish between countries, struggles with basic facts and has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of understanding about how the world works from international relations to economics. He has said countless absurd things and people kept forgiving him, hoping he was different, an outsider. We chose to tolerate his stupidity in exchange for change, but in the end, we only got the stupidity. The change never came. Now it’s clear, he’s now one of them, not one of us. Apparently Joe Kent is weak, but I guess Lindsey Graham is strong like a lion! :)))))))) It’s time for a third party!

Andrea Dworkin appeared in a May 21, 1988 episode of the British late-night talk show ‘After Dark’ titled “What Is Sex For?,” featuring others like Anthony Burgess, Jim Haynes, Julia Ronder, Jack Dominian, and Roz Kaveney. While Dworkin brought up pornography being a multibillion-dollar industry that exploits women and girls, Jim Haynes, who co-launched the counterculture sex newspaper ‘Suck’ in 1969, philosophized about sexual value judgments around pornography. Ironically, even though Burgess won a “Sexist Pig of the Year” award in 1980 from the Female Publishers of Great Britain, he was the least dickish toward Dworkin, and he was relatively thoughtful and receptive toward her ideas. The most tiresome was Dominian. A moment from that episode that I really love is when Dominian, a psychiatrist and lay Roman Catholic theologian (what a combination that is), replied to Dworkin saying that her “thesis is absolutely psychologically unsound.” To which she replied: “I hope so because my respect for psychology is not very great.” Dworkin explained that psychology has functioned in conditioning women to submit to their subordination, so “psychologically unsound” actually sounds fine to her. There are some clips of Dworkin’s responses in that episode on YouTube, which are great to watch. Fortunately, I think feminist uploaders, like “feminist vhs archive,” mostly cut out the men. Such are the small mercies. - - - - - - - - - - DWORKIN: What I have done has been to say: Here is an area of human experience that everyone presumes to know and understand. And, if we women want equality, we have to face the fact that movement after movement of egalitarian agitation has been pushed back and suppressed. Now, why? Yes, let’s look at the politics of economics, but let’s also look at the politics of sexuality. And, in particular, it seems to me that you sort of need to answer this question, at least for me: Why is it that law mandates intercourse as an act for women exactly through the period when women are chattel to men? I think that we have to deal with the fact that intercourse has, is, and has become—and has been—one of the main expressions of the ways in which men own women. And if what we want is more sexual equality, then we have to deal with what intercourse does to us. DOMINIAN: I think your thesis is absolutely psychologically unsound. DWORKIN: I hope so because my respect for psychology is not very great, because of the impact of psychology exactly on trying to deal with questions of women’s inferiority and with psychology’s role in trying to reconcile women to accepting a subordinate status in society. So, I hope that it is not part of it.

We know that the incident that happened at present in Zambia has attracted a little attention, but particularly the use of a fraud gang leader, Hopewell Chin’ono, and Emmanuel Mwamba. I think people have seen me in the past, in the last few years. I’ve confronted these two characters on matters that I was able to demonstrate were matters of fact, but there are also matters of accountability in a very big way. They were matters relating to money, movement of money across countries. How many people have seen my documentaries? How many have seen the Gatwick Airport hacking documentary that features a man called Hopewell Chin’ono? In the last two years, I personally, physically recovered over a million British pounds in a property that had been robbed from a British man. Two years ago, in 2024, and the person who was singularly behind that scam is a man called Hopewell Chin’ono. Brian Mundubile, the opposition leader, and Emmanuel Mwamba, the opposition spokesperson — I’m not sure what title he has in Zambia. If you’re watching right now in Zambia, please let me know which title he carries, because I know that there have been entities and institutions that have switched names, switched sides, or switched shape. So I’m not aware what title Emmanuel Mwamba now has, but Emmanuel Mwamba and Brian Mundubile, as the opposition leader, have been using this man who will lead a fraud gang, and is [a] fraudster, I would be [saying]. So I’m going to say it in Zimbabwean English, okay? Accent, Zimbabwean and Zambian, for I would be… [Speaking in a local language.] And on Hopewell Chin’ono… [Speaking in a local language.] A million-pound property from him and his friend and his colleague, called Jennifer Banguré, in East Midlands. I think people have seen him sometimes posting a picture of him dressed in very, very buttoned trousers, boasting that he’s got a house in East Midlands. Right there in East Midlands, two years ago, I had a copy of [the] property, but he himself and the colleague of him had taken off, unlawfully taken away from a British man. And so Hopewell Chin’ono has been used by Mundubile and Mwamba with the two knowing well that he is a fraud gang leader. Some people have been claiming, “Oh, Brian Mundubile,” and the likes of him that this man is a journalist. This person is a fraud gang leader, just using the face in the front of journalism. There is no person who is law-abiding who uses Hopewell Chin’ono for anything. But what was happening was that Brian Mundubile and Emmanuel Mwamba were using this shady character for their communications, which were not factual at all. I mean, people were following over the time, every post that this man has been posting — this character that Brian Mundubile has been using to make communications. In every single post, there’s always been some falsification, some misleading. This is not a character that anyone would want to sit having tea with, because he’s well known for more than 30 years for being dodgy, shady and engaging in some of the most horrible [activities]. I’ve done thorough investigations over the years. I’ve done more investigations on this man than I’ve done on all my other documentaries and stories over the years. And so, what were they discussing? What were they doing? But mainly, — what have they been posting around the elections, not just today? Over several years, by the way: this whole operation didn’t start today. Even during the Edgar Lungu death days last year, I think people remember — how many people remember? There’s a dossier that I presented to South Africa, to the courts, where I was arguing, and I was even taking the SABC, the South Africa Broadcasting Corporation, to court. Very soon I will, for them using this type — this character. And this is a big, big scam. It’s not a small scam. So, what has happened right now, there’s another operation that law enforcement have done in [Zambia]. I’m not going to talk about that because it’ll be sub judice, and I’m not aware of the full circumstances of what that is. But I am aware. I’m fully aware. I think people saw me a few years ago. I was in Lusaka physically, and I was on live camera. I’m fully aware that Brian Mundubile and his crop were cooking some activity. That’s how I was there. I saw it physically. They were doing something there that I can’t say right now because it would be sub judice. People understand what the law says. I am aware of certain things that were happening around that time that were not clean. And that’s how suddenly I was in Lusaka around the same period in August 2023, which was the first time I’d been to Lusaka before, a few years before. My work — I investigate, I investigate, I investigate matters relating to… Excuse me, sorry, I apologise. I’m just getting distracted. Just two seconds here. Those are coming right now live. I am just two seconds, just two seconds, folks. I think it’s me, love. Yes, it’s me. Walter. Yes. Okay, so just two seconds, folks. Okay, so what I was saying was that a few years ago, I was in Lusaka, Zambia. And the things that I witnessed there — I’m not going to talk about the rest and things that have happened today because it’s sub judice. I can’t do that. And I’m not aware of the full circumstances. But there are definitely things that I know, and people have seen over the years. When Edgar Lungu died, there was one character who Emmanuel Mwamba started using. Many of the people started using. And they were firing an algorithm. And if you are in law enforcement here in Zambia, and if you are in law enforcement in any other country, I hope you can hear this tidbit that I’m dropping here. I investigate wrongdoing by notorious people, particularly people who target crowds. And so this person that Brian Mundubile has been using has been fronting the face and the badge of journalism. But, in actual fact, he leads a fraud gang — a whole gang of people, some who were fully convicted and served prison sentences. This is all public record, by the way. So it’s not what I’m saying here, so people listening — it’s not something from a special investigation that I guess, of course, there are things that I’ve done, that I’ve done. But this is public record. There is no person who is law-abiding. There’s no person who follows the law who uses a man called Hopewell Chin’ono for anything. For anything. [Speaking in Shona.] This is a record that is over 30 years old — 30 years running, every year. Every year, this man called Hopewell Chin’ono has a repeating incident, or for high-profile — we’re talking high-profile crime here. And one of them involves a million-pound property that I personally reversed in a documentary called “Gatwick Airport.” “Gatwick Airport.” So if you Google “Gatwick Airport,” you see it. I mean, this is a whole broad, multi-million-pound property, massive property that I investigated and helped to reverse two years ago. And the records are all there. They are replete. There’s also an article that was published that is on the New Statesman website, that is titled “Journalism Rarely Generates Excessive Wealth.” Well, this is not my work now. This is the work of the only investigative journalist of our time by the name Geoffrey Nyarota. It’s a very interesting piece. He died in March last year. And Geoffrey Nyarota published this article, investigated this character called Hopewell Chin’ono, and published this article. If you see it, it audits money that he used — money that he took from the United Kingdom and then used it to buy property in Zimbabwe. This is an article that is over four years, five years, in fact, in the public domain. Five years in the public domain. And the man called Hopewell Chin’ono even responded, so he passed comments on that article in the article. That article is on a publication that I’ve got nothing to do with. It’s another major, major big independent newspaper that publishes in Zimbabwe. It’s on the internet, so if you Google “Journalism Rarely Generates Excessive Wealth,” that’s an article that has been available that Brian Mundubile, the opposition leader of Zambia, knows. And Emmanuel Mwamba, his spokesperson, knows that article. For over five years, he knows that Hopewell Chin’ono is not a practising journalist, that he is doing his practising disguise. He is a disguiser. How does a person who has won an election use a disguiser? How do you go on video and say, “I won this election”? Number one, you don’t show, you don’t present any tabulation. You say that you’ve got a tabulation that you’re reading, but you don’t show people that tabulation. Show people so that they see that you truly have won. Okay, let’s just assume that you are avoiding this disclosure because maybe you don’t want to get into trouble. Certainly, people around you, if you have those millions of followers, certainly those people could just present the tabulation. Not WhatsApp screenshots. No. The tabulation. The tabulation and those forms. Show the tabulation and then you also show the forms, which are a public record. The forms become public record at the polling station. So you don’t even need to wait for the Electoral Commission Chairperson of Zambia to make the announcement. The announcement has already been made at the polling station. You don’t need to record a video and pronounce yourself a leader. Because if you have won the election, that pronouncement has already been made at the polling station. And so the youngest child, a Grade One child, can do their maths. During the first hour of those results being placarded at the polling stations, you don’t need to come out yourself. Because it’s already there. If you have won the election, it’s already there. Why did you do that? Why did you record this video? What’s the point? What’s the game? What’s the hurry? Because it’s already there. It’s a public record. It’s already there. It’s in the forest, it’s there — right at the polling station. So Brian Mundubile did not need to do that. Who was the point? Maybe other people have done it before. But what was the point? I’m trying to ask here. I don’t know how I could say it in Bemba, in Nyanja. I don’t know which language, folks. If those people will see you speak the language in [unclear], in Zambia, please click the video link and talk to me. And maybe say it to people, ask questions: Mr Mundubile, what was the point when you announced yourself, pronouncing yourself, on video? And then you get someone who leads — who practises disguise. Whoa, what’s the point? Does not practise journalism? He practises disguise. Who doesn’t know that if there’s a public record out there? So you used someone who’s engaged in some of the most dodgy things on earth, including election vote-tempering that he has been doing in other jurisdictions. You used that character. For what purpose? For what purpose? Because you didn’t press a vote, Brian Mundubile knew that you did not need to go on video. Because if you won the election, you were already politically — you would have already been proclaimed at the polling station. So any person who has got a small GCSE certificate can do their maths. They would have already known that they would have made the announcement for itself. Where is the regulation? So this is a big investigation because all watching on, as I said, I myself have recovered a million-pound property in the United Kingdom in the last two years, and the documentary…

you're not hardstuck in League because you lack skill. you're hardstuck because you haven't given yourself permission to win. the ladder isn't climbed by "talented" players. it's climbed by AUDACIOUS CRAZY mfs. here's what nobody's telling you: the guy who hit Challenger? his mechanics weren't 10x yours. his BELIEF was. the one-trick who solo-carries hardstuck teammates? he wasn't smarter. he just had the balls to assume HE was the win condition. the support who created plays out of nothing? he wasn't more talented. he just believed he deserved to dictate the fight. you're sitting there "qualified" and "skilled" waiting for permission to carry waiting for the "right time" to pop off waiting to feel "ready" to climb meanwhile someone worst is taking your LP. here's the truth: audacity beats talent 100% of the time. watched someone with zero macro understanding hit Diamond: the "talented" candidates: perfect CS every game ward every brush watched every guide play scared still 50% WR none of them climbed. the audacious one: mid CS, mid warding decent mechanics played like he was ALREADY Grandmaster walked into fights expecting to win hit Diamond in 200 games what's the difference? talent asks "am i good enough?" audacity says "i'm the win condition" skill waits for jungle ganks audacity creates its own pressure experience wants validation audacity assumes authority here's how you develop audacity in League: stop asking "can i carry this?" start saying "i'm carrying this" stop asking "should i all-in?" start all-inning stop asking "am i ready for this rank?" start playing like you're already there stop waiting for conditions: better teammates aren't coming better patches aren't coming perfect meta isn't coming just start playing like you already HAVE THEM. watched someone with 30% win rate on his main champ still climb: hardstuck player: "i only have 50% WR because my team doesn't set me up" audacious player: "i have 70% WR because i don't NEED them to set me up" same matchups. different audacity level. here's the uncomfortable part: you know exactly what you need to do to climb. farm better. position better. micro better. you don't do it because you're waiting for permission. permission from the universe ("am i allowed to do this?") permission from the meta ("is my champ viable?") permission from your doubt ("am i actually good enough?") meanwhile the audacious crazy fucker is doing it WITHOUT permission. the only difference between you and the player living your dream rank: hesitation. you hesitate to take the kill because "maybe the jungler wants it" you hesitate to engage because "maybe i should wait" you hesitate to split push because "maybe the team needs me" he doesn't hesitate. he TAKES. and guess what? when you take with audacity, your team follows because suddenly you're a threat. when he engages with confidence, it works because enemies respect the audacity. when he split pushes like he owns the lane, the enemy can't stop it. audacity creates its own reality. you're not playing scared because you lack skill. you're playing scared because you haven't given yourself PERMISSION to be dangerous. stop asking yourself if you're good enough. you already are. stop waiting for the moment to feel ready. start playing like you already WON before the game loaded. that's the shift. that's the climb. that's the difference between hardstuck and unstoppable. the world rewards audacity stop being talented and start being audacious. study the saskio way
