This outcome of the court proceedings and the historic judgment delivered by the Hon’ble Madhya Pradesh High Court would remain incomplete if we do not acknowledge the immense groundwork, dedication, and tireless efforts put in by several individuals even before the commencement of the legal proceedings. Adv. Virendra Ichalkaranjikar Ji (Ichalkaranjikar V.S.) from Hindu Vidhigya Parishad, along with Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HinduJagrutiOrg), worked tirelessly with Shri Naval Kishore Ji, former Sangh Pracharak and a leading force behind the Bhojshala Mukti Andolan. Their collective efforts played a crucial role in keeping this issue alive at the national level and in building the foundation for the legal battle. Adv. Virendra Ichalkaranjikar Ji made extraordinary efforts by continuously sitting for eight days in the ASI Office at Bhopal and gathering all the relevant documents through RTI applications and detailed research. Those documents played a very significant role in bringing the true facts before the Court. The efforts of Sudarshan News and Shri Suresh Chavhanke Ji (Dr. Suresh Chavhanke “Sudarshan News”) are also highly commendable. They had been consistently raising their voice on the Bhojshala issue long before it became a mainstream subject of discussion. Their persistent efforts helped in creating nationwide awareness regarding the issue. The legal proceedings were then taken to their logical conclusion by Adv. Vishnu Shankar Jain Ji (Vishnu Shankar Jain) and Shri Hari Shankar Jain Ji (Hari Shankar Jain), whose relentless legal efforts and effective representation played a vital role in securing this historic result before the Hon’ble Court. This result is truly the outcome of collective efforts, unwavering dedication, and years of continuous struggle by numerous individuals and organizations. Above all, it is only with the divine grace and blessings of Shri Vag Mata Ji that such a historic result could finally be achieved. 🚩 Ramesh Shinde 🇮🇳

I was unaware of just how uninformed I was about DACA until I watched a video by this young woman whose story led me to research the issue further. To sum it up: Obama's DACA is less a solution and more a form of purgatory for 'Dreamers'. Like many of the Democratic initiatives, it was marketed as humanitarian, but in reality, it was pure political. In 2012, Obama introduced DACA, but let's call it what it was - a political move that only a heartless person could enact. It gave young immigrants, who came to the U.S. as kids, a glimmer of hope wrapped in bureaucratic red tape. Every two years, these "Dreamers" must pay hundreds of dollars to avoid deportation, creating a cycle of stress and expense that's more akin to punishment than protection. Obama's policy was inhumane because it didn't solve the problem; it gave false hope. This was clearly a political move, not a compassionate one. He could've pushed for real reform but chose this half-measure instead, leaving these young people in a legal limbo. Critics often point to Trump for tightening immigration policies, but let's clarify: Obama's DACA laid the groundwork for the current turmoil. By not pushing for permanent solutions, he left these young people vulnerable to future policy shifts, including debates over birthright citizenship, which only increased their insecurity. Essentially, Obama's DACA is akin to giving someone a life sentence with the illusion of parole that never comes. So, let's stop blaming President Trump for what Obama initiated. Obama's legacy in this context is one of false promises and sustained uncertainty for Dreamers, making his approach not only ineffective but also cruel and inhumane. We must remember this when discussing who is truly at fault for the plight of DACA recipients. Obama created a scenario with DACA that now desperately requires legislative correction. This young woman, who came to the U.S. at the age of two, knows no other home. She was given a social security number but barred from most government benefits, including no financial aid for education, a restriction I support. She managed to work three jobs while going through nursing school just to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Because of Obama's DACA policy, she couldn't travel to see her family abroad without risking her status, effectively isolating her. Imagine dedicating your life to a country, only to be unable to visit your family without risking everything you've built. That's the harsh reality for DACA recipients - rooted in America but unable to spread their wings back home. She's essentially a blameless person who seeks only legal status to contribute to society. So what do y’all think is the solution for people like this young woman? This is my opinion for this solution because there are 611,000 DACA recipients and NO birthright citizenship from this point forward: ◦This happened in 2012, these DACA aren't seeking handouts but are asking for a chance to continue contributing legally. The only way that could happen is for Congress to work on legislation that provides a clear, merit-based path to citizenship for those who've shown they can contribute positively to American society. ◦I still believe that our borders must be secure 💯, integrating those who've built lives here, paid taxes, and followed the law can be part of a balanced approach. ◦Simplify the process for DACA recipients to gain legal permanent residency based on their contributions, education, but must have ZERO criminal activity. This strategy would confront our current reality without undermining legal or economic principles. It's about fairness, security, and economic growth for all Americans.

Good morning everyone. For just about 6 years now I've been working full-time with Thomas Frank for the "Thomas Frank" and "Thomas Frank Explains" channels - and have loved my time. I consider Thomas one of my best friends and am very blessed to have someone like him in my life - but as of now, I am officially looking for my next full-time job. Tom and I will still be working together until the end of August (unless I find my next job sooner) so until then, I will be exploring my options and seeing where my next endeavor can be. I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do next and while I still love Video Editing, I would like to consider bigger roles - such as being a Video Producer since I have an understanding of all aspects of production, or maybe management. Those aren't the only roles I would like to explore - just ones that "feel right". It's also important to me to feel I am "growing" in my field or helping a company grow, rather than just maintain what's there. It's part of why I love working with team Thomas Frank, we always have goals. Whether that's producing better content, better organization in Notion, creating "Thomas Frank Explains" (which I am so proud of given how many people love our Notion videos), creating Flylighter - it's always exciting to see what we can do by taking risks and even if I am no longer helping Tom's growth, I can't wait to see what they cook up moving forward. Attached to this is my updated Reel but feel free to check out my website at for more info about me. Thanks for reading, retweets are appreciated for more reach, and God bless. Here's some people who I've done work with: Thomas Frank, Nebula, Ben Marriott, Hayden Hillier-Smith, TheEditingPodcast, Noah Kagan.

One criticism I always see towards games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto VI recently is the topic of small details. "Why does a game need so many details, it doesn't make the experience any better and takes longer to develop" While I do agree with the fact that Rockstar Games development schedules in between each release keep getting longer, the fact is that when you aim for such a high level of realism in a video-game, its not about graphics anymore, its about immersion. I'm sure that if you played RDR2, you know that your horse sweating or its balls shrinking in the cold don't add much to the gameplay itself, but it makes the game feel like its real. This is precisely what sets apart Rockstar Games from other game studios, the level of immersion you get in those games is unbeaten. RDR2, a game designed for the PS4 console has a level of fluidity and immersion that I have yet to see in a video-game from any other game studio, each game mechanic seems to work flawlessly that it feels like a living and breathing open world game. Hell, sometimes you feel bad for shooting an NPC which never happened to me in a video-game before. When you're playing it, hours can go by and you don't even. In other open-world games, sometimes you can notice limitations, for example the same NPCs appearing in one object or the same scripted conversations. RDR2 manages to make that gap of a video-game and reality feel thinner, not get rid of it entirely of course. Making such a massive game filled with tons of details means that it can be can be played for multiple years after its release and not feel outdated. Its not all about details of course, when a game takes so long to develop, the stakes get higher each time and Rockstar Games has to make sure that they deliver on the story that is being told too, hence the reason why their games have always been historically good in terms of writing. Now to address the elephant int he room, the main issue is that as the complexity increases for each new release and optimizing all of these systems to work in tandem, the development time increases and we get longer periods of waiting. Is all of this worth it? In my opinion, yes. Its Rockstar Games after all, they have the budget necessary and the talent to achieve this kind of feat. Not only does it raise the bar for what is possible to do in a video-game, but it also is highly rewarding when you play the game for the first time and its unlike anything you've seen these past couple of years. When I finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time, every new game that came out felt outdated for me. Just as technology keeps going forward, the same applies here with open world games too. What are your thoughts on this topic?

Namjoon about Swim💜 🐨: Next is “Swim,” and honestly, I really love this song. I think a lot of people were probably disappointed by it. Like, it’s not exciting in the way “Dynamite” was, and it’s not an intense hip-hop performance track like “Hooligan” or “2.0,” so some people probably thought, “Why did they release such a subdued, low-energy song?” 🐨: But the reality is simple: No better song than “Swim” came out. We never originally intended for “Swim” to be the title track. But we had to think about radio play too, whether the song would have longevity, versatility, and lasting appeal. And in the end, “Swim” was the only song that checked all those boxes. 🐨: Honestly, I think title tracks themselves barely mean anything anymore these days. There’s more of a “lead single” concept now. Especially in American pop music, there really isn’t this rigid “title track” idea anymore. 🐨: So what made me really happy after “Arirang” came out was that it wasn’t just “Swim” getting attention. Of course Jungkook charting happened and ARMY worked incredibly hard streaming and supporting, but I also loved seeing “Body to Body” becoming a hot topic “Hooligan” getting talked about, “2.0” getting attention, even “Normal” being discussed. For an idol group album, it’s honestly really hard for so many tracks from the same album to all get talked about and chart simultaneously. 🐨: Maybe “Swim” felt less sonically stimulating compared to the others, but I was still so happy that the album as a whole was getting that much discussion and love. 🐨: Writing the lyrics for “Swim” took a really long time. And honestly, it feels sad to say this in 2026, but I wanted this to become a meaningful song too. Since it became the title track — because no stronger radio song than “Swim” came out — I wanted it to carry meaning. 🐨: The truth is, I’m actually not very good at swimming. But I think I started seeing life itself as swimming. Even during military service, counting down days one by one… waiting, wandering, just swimming forward through each day, one breath at a time. That’s why this song feels really sad to me. To me, it feels like the song of BTS in their thirties: becoming more mature, building deeper rapport with fans, living more adult lives, each person carrying their own life forward. 🐨: So lyrically and emotionally, this song means a lot to me personally. Of course, maybe it would’ve been nice if there had been an even better title track. But I think this is the kind of song that will stay with me for a very long time. Honestly, I wish it received even more love. 🐨: Of course, performance is such an important part of who we are, and BTS grew from intense hip-hop sounds and powerful performances, so I understand why some people might find “Swim” underwhelming. 🐨: But for me… “Swim” is the kind of song I’d want to hear at my own grave someday. It sounds like a love song, but it’s also about life itself. I wanted it to feel open enough to be interpreted both ways. Looking at “you” beneath the moon and the sharks — that “you” could be someone I love, the fans, myself, or even my own life. 🐨: I think it’s a very rare song that contains all kinds of emotions together, joy, anger, sorrow, happiness. So yeah… that’s what “Swim” is to me. Personally, I just wish more people would love it a little more. And honestly, after finishing this album, I think I came to a sad conclusion: people don’t really listen to lyrics anymore. So if anyone hears what I’m saying now, I hope they’ll go back and look a little more deeply at what we were trying to say through this album. That’s my personal wish. 🐨: I still have a lot more I want to say about “Swim,” and I think I’ll probably keep talking about it in the future too. But anyway, I really love this song. I also really loved the “Keep Swimming” campaign. Because honestly, life isn’t all that extraordinary. There are happy days, sad days… and all of us are just swimming forward one day at a time.

🚨 According to Dan Ives, TESLA IS NOW MORE AN AI COMPANY THAN A CAR COMPANY 🏆 Here are the key takeaways from Ives regarding Tesla's strategic direction and future valuation after the Q1.2026 earnings release 🔥 📈 Earnings matter for tracking demand stabilization Investors still need to pay attention to earnings numbers because they indicate whether demand is stabilizing, particularly in key markets like China and Europe. "But you care because ultimately you need a stabilization of demand. I think they've seen that in spots like China, Europe, and that is important in terms of the course of the reality going forward." 🤖 Tesla's future valuation hinges on AI, not just cars Tesla should be viewed primarily as an AI, autonomous driving, and robotaxi company, which will be the primary driver for its next trillion-dollar valuation increase. "To get the incremental trillion dollars valuation, trillion and a half, it's going to be in AI. It's going to be really what I view—this is much more of an AI company, disruptive tech, than a car company." 🛣️ The timeline for "Physical AI" and a second-half ramp-up is crucial Along with Nvidia, Tesla is one of the top two "physical AI" investments in the market today. To turn the stock around, management needs to outline a realistic timeline for production and city rollouts for the second half of the year. "You look for physical AI, the two best physical AI plays in the market today are Nvidia and Tesla. But really right now, it's the path to actually start to see the ramp in the second half of the year. This is a very important conference call." 🛡️ The autonomous rollout is deliberately cautious While the rollout of autonomous features in cities has been slower than expected, this is an intentional and careful strategy to avoid safety issues as they ramp up city by city. "If you look, it's been slower than expected, but then that's also been carefully done because the last thing they want to do is ultimately have some issue. So you're seeing city by city them ramping." 🌎 Tesla is positioned to dominate the global autonomous market Tesla is expected to eventually command 80% of the world's autonomous market, starting with smaller city networks. Because of this, Dan expects the stock to significantly outperform over the next 3 to 6 months. "In my opinion, they're going to own 80% of the autonomous market in the world, but it's been talked about, it does all start with rolling it out, showing the physical AI play. It's been underperforming this year, but I believe if we sit here three, six months from now, it has actually significantly outperformed." 🚀 A potential merger with SpaceX is on the horizon A major "golden goose" for investors is the expectation that Tesla could merge with SpaceX within the next year, creating a broader trend for investors to capitalize on. "It's our view that in the next year Tesla eventually merges with SpaceX, and this is just an important dynamic as it plays out. I think that's sort of part of the golden goose for us as investors start to play this broader trend."

EXCLUSIVE: 🚨🚨🚨👇🏻 Kamala Harris’s Presidential campaign STAGED a fake emotional encounter with a woman on camera today at an event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that the campaign called “organic” and “spur of the moment” but I have uncovered the fact that the venue is actually an anti-Republican Spice Company Penzeys Spices called Penzey’s Spices that explicitly says on their company website that “Republicans are racist” and they don’t like or feel inclined to welcome Republicans or Trump supporters at their business! Kamala Harris gave business to a company that hold sales called “Republicans are Racist weekends”. She attended their store during their “Republicans are Racist weekend”. Today, Kamala Harris pretended to have an emotional encounter with a woman who was pretending to cry on Kamala Harris’s shoulder. Her campaign said Kamala was visiting a random spice shop and just happened to capture the moment on camera. 🚨EXPOSED🚨 However, upon further research I have discovered that Penzey’s Spice shop is an openly ANTI TRUMP AND ANTI REPUBLICAN business that caters to non-Conservative clientele. Kamala’s campaign wants you to think that the woman who pretended to cry on her shoulder was a regular random woman, but Penzey’s makes it very clear they only want Democrat clients. See receipts below 👇🏻 On their website, Penzey’s Spices has an entire section called “About Republicans” in which the company explains why it’s their company policy to hate Republicans who they call “racist” on their company site. On the “About Republicans” page on their official website, Penzey’s Spices says, “Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we're done pretending the Republican Party's embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I'm sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.” This company openly hates and discriminates against Republicans and Trump supporters, and makes it very clear Republicans aren’t wanted in their stores. There are 49 Penzey’s stores across the country. The one Kamala visited was in Pittsburgh, but the company is based out of Wisconsin. Social media posts from the company below that I have uncovered show that they are anti Trump, pro Biden and pro Kamala Harris. According to FEC Records, Bill Penzey has given $111,200 to Biden for President and the Biden-Harris Victory fund. Adding more evidence to the fact that this was staged, the original posters of the video on X were Ian Sams and Julia Hamelburg, both of whom work for Kamala Harris’s Presidential campaign. Ian Sam’s is the Spokesman for Kamala Harris. He reposted the video posted by his colleague Julia Hamelburh and said, “Every American should get to see this clip of Vice President Harris. Retweet so more can”. They staged the video and then planted the story to make it seem organic. They want you to think this was a random woman out in the public when in reality, this was a staged event at a RADICAL LEFTIST PROGRESSIVE COMPANY whose owner Bill Penzey spent over $700,000 on Facebook ads in support of impeaching President Trump. Bill Penzey also sells BLM merchandise in his stores. Kamala Harris is campaigning inside a business that supports Black Lives Matter racists who burned the country down, which further highlights why she’s unfit for office. The media wants you to think a random woman cried on Kamala’s shoulder at a random spice shop, but this was all set up. Penzey’s is owned by a Democrat donor and the interactions with Kamala today were fake and scripted. RECEIPTS👇🏻 Cc: Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022) Donald J.

EU gave €225 million to projects in #Gaza between 2021-2023, a place that was under the full control of #Hamas since 2006. How much of the EU money given to projects in Gaza ended up in the hands and pockets of this terrorist organisation? I asked Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi this and other questions in the Budgetary Control committee on October 26, 2023. Watch and share this video along with the transcript. MEP Cristian Terheș: "Thank you so much. Before I go into my questions I just want to make a note that this committee has on paper 55, 54 MEPs, and we are in this room, right now, only five [MEPs] and two over there. I think it is outrageous that, for an important topic like this, that is discussing about how the Commission is spending or wasting people's money, apparently the Left is not interested in see[ing] what exactly and how exactly people's money was spent. Going back to the questions, I have six specific questions. The first one is related to the books printed under the supervision or under the authority of the Palestinian Authority. And I saw, I carefully read the answer from the European Commission, which pretty much acknowledged that there was a problem, and I restate that, that there was, in the past, a problem with these books. And the answer says that "EU has stepped up its engagement with the Palestinian Authority to ensure that further curriculum reform addresses problematic issues identified in the shortest possible timeframe". So the "further curriculum" will address this issue. Well, here's an example of a book. This is a literature book for the fifth grade that is used in the UNRWA schools. In this book, this is what the Arab kids are learning. If you're not aware of who this person is, her name is Dalal Mughrabi. On March the 11th, 1978, along with other terrorists, [she] hijacked two busses. And when the Israeli authorities tried to free those people, they blew themselves up and killed 38 Israelis, including 13 children, and over 70 people were wounded. So how is it possible that now, in 2023, and I'm not talking about past books… This is 2023. These kids are still learning that this is a role model for them. And now, out of the blue, we are surprised that people are blowing themselves up and killing innocent people. I'm not interested what are you going to do in the future. I hope that you will do something and we will make sure that you will do something. But what have you done so far to make sure that these Arab kids, these Palestinian kids are not indoctrinated with this kind of evil figures? The second question is about the "Pay for Slay". #PayForSlay According to the Palestinian law if a Palestinian person is killing a Jew, his or her family is getting a pension. So we are rewarding terrorist activities. And this was done for years. A few years ago, when Trump was president, a U.S. military guy was killed in one of these terror attacks. And U.S. Congress passed a law called "Taylor Force Act", which is conditioning any U.S. money for the Palestinian Authority to make sure that these families of the terrorists are not getting reimbursed for life after these terror activities. Why aren’t we imposing exactly the same rules? Because, according to the answer from the Commission, we are paying pension and pensions to these people. Third question, the issue of Gaza. According to your official answer, you're stating, and I quote: "Between 2021 and [20]23, EU funded €681 million for the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA. A third of this money went to Gaza." A third means €225 million from 2021 to 2023. But we know for a fact that in 2005, when Israel withdrew from Gaza, after 2006 or [200]7, Gaza is under the control of Hamas. You said here that you will run a survey or whatever, an analysis to see how the money was spent. What have you done already? Hamas was called, and recognized and acknowledged as a terrorist organisation. How was it possible to pour €225 million in a place that is fully controlled by a terrorist organisation and nobody did anything or said anything? It is absolutely absurd! Forth question. Following reports about stealing of pipelines for rocket production and fuel for hospitals, to what extent can the European Commission or the Court of Auditors verify or assess the damage caused to EU and European funded projects in Gaza? Fifth question. Following news that Hamas is directing money for social allowances to members of this terrorist organisation, how do you verify that such money gets to those really in need? Nevertheless, following reports about control of Hamas of the teacher unions and UNRWA workers union, what are the steps you are taking to verify that EU money for UNRWA is not used to serve Hamas agenda? Thank you." Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi: "Madam Chair. I want to assure all the participating members of this committee that I very much appreciate their presence and their engagement with us. And I think that this is very important that we have this discussion, no matter how many members of the committee are here. Now, first of all, on the Gaza project. Let me make it very clear what has been done in Gaza since 2006 when the IDF and Israel has left the Gaza Strip. I fully agree with you. The control and the governance of that strip has been de facto exercised by the Hamas. Unfortunately! And it was for that reason that all institution financing activity has been stopped and it is for that reason that only projects of public interest have been continued in the Gaza Strip. Now, with the emergence of the horror that we have seen instigated by Hamas, the review also has a very clear message to those projects that we have tried for many, many years to create for the benefit of the people in Gaza, like the Gas for Gaza project or the desalination plant creating fresh water for the people in the Gaza Strip or building a new hospital in the Gaza Strip, that are on hold. And it is not possible even physically to continue on those projects. And we will have to wait until the end of this war to see what engagement would still be considered in the in the Gaza area, if feasible. Now, in relation to the broader question of the review, what is the timeline? The timeline is that we are already doing it. We have a methodology established and our review is carried out by the whole House, mainly the DG Near, but also other parts of the Commission, DG Budget and also the other external family members of the Commission. The result of the review is going to be presented to the College [of Commissioners]. So the College is going to take the conclusions of these findings and they will be, I very much hope, endorsed by the College. In terms of its cost, we do not foresee any additional cost for this, and we want to act rapidly because, as I said, given the very fragile security situation, we have to act immediately to filter out all those who have, even indirectly, participated or contributed to the violence that we have seen emerge. Now, when it comes to the textbooks, to be honest with you, it's very difficult to answer your question because this is the question I have been putting since the very beginning of my mandate. How is it possible to embed hatred and nurture hatred in textbooks? How is it possible to teach kids to hate? How is it possible? And we have been sitting down several times with the Palestinian Authority. We have run a study that came to the same conclusion as you have. And we have had difficult discussions also in this House. But now I see that there is a change in the position of this House, which is, I think, very important. And it is not only very important, but we took very, very careful note of a request from the Parliament, because there is also a request adopted by the plenary, to look into this issue. And this is what we are going to do and this issue will have to be addressed. The result that we have achieved was that we have raised the issue with the Palestinian Authority, and I don't think there's disagreement between us and them that this is an issue. Second, we are working very closely with our partners in UNRWA. I'm very sad to see that this is a training material or education material that you have shown today, which is used by UNRWA, because UNRWA was the one who not only was able to talk about this problem, but undertook commitments with us to eradicate any material, any views expressed, including on social media or in the territories of the schools of this kind, glorification of terrorists, glorification of hatred, anti-Semitism. And this is why we have concluded a three year financing contract with UNRWA. This was a very important element for us that UNRWA started to cooperate and we have seen results coming in. But, of course, I agree with you. We cannot rest until the very last of these materials disappear. And I'm fully committed to deliver on that, including in the discussions for next year. On the "Pay for Slay". We have a list to check that direct beneficiaries do not appear on any of the terrorist list. But, if there is one, I wouldn't like to draw any conclusions of the review, but, if there is one issue to look at is, of course, that we do not create the possibility of indirect benefit for those who are involved in terrorist activities or for those who have been even convicted for such acts. And this is what we are addressing also in our review. Now, on the on the damage to our projects in Gaza, I cannot tell you now. What we see is that there is clearly devastation in the northern part, serious level of damage in the south, but it will be only after that the war will stop that we can go back and take a look at that. Now, on the humanitarian aspect and how to guarantee that our humanitarian aid is not going to be misused. If you look back at the statement the European Council has adopted just last weekend, you see also a very clear call for them to make sure. And this is why our decision has been to channel our humanitarian aid through our own institutions; DG Echo is delivering on the ground and in-kind. So we are providing help, in-kind, not providing financing. We're not providing other items that could be used for other purposes. And we are coordinating our work with international organisations only, so to ensure that it doesn't get to the wrong hands. So there was one more question about the breakdown of the €103 million, and I think I can confirm what you said that we have composed the €103 million by €50 million that were allocated in support of payments of salaries and pensions. These are going directly as direct budget support into the budget of the Palestinian Authority. However, we want to check the final beneficiaries and we have a list. And now we're looking at indirect beneficiaries as well as part of the review. The 40 million… The other element is the €40 million support for the most vulnerable families. Again, this is this is paid in the form of direct budgetary contribution. And the third and lastly, the €13 million, this is the remaining part of 103 [million], is financing the East Jerusalem hospitals that we have paid already in April 2023 to keep the health care system running in East Jerusalem. I hope with this I have answered all the questions that have been raised. Thank you."

Padawans! We are excited to announce the return of Jediswap with concentrated liquidity, full audits, points, and incentives. Check it out at Since our last update two months ago, we have been working hard on a fresh new version of Jediswap, focused on bringing capital efficiency and the best price execution to our users. After two months of dedicated efforts, a full audit by Nethermind Starknet , and passing rigorous security tests, we are excited to announce the launch of Jediswap v2. Jediswap v2 significantly enhances user experience and performance while introducing new features and surprises. Our commitment to community and user growth remains strong, and we have exciting plans to expand the Jediswap ecosystem. Take a look at key updates coming with the launch. A points system that empowers genuine, loyal users: Jediswap's origins go back to early 2020 when we started our journey not as a product but as a community known as the Mesh community. Our mission was clear: bring Open Finance to billions of people. Recognising the strength of community-driven efforts, we understood that collective belief and collaboration, rather than individual or corporate endeavours, would be the most effective path forward. Early loyal users are the most crucial pillars of any community and product. This point system is Jediswap’s first step in recognising and rewarding the value each user has added to the protocol. We have prepared separate point systems for liquidity providers and traders. In short, as an LP, you can maximise your points by earning more fees on your LP positions and maintaining your liquidity in Jediswap over the long term. You can check out the complete math behind points here. For traders, use Jediswap when you genuinely need to swap tokens. There is no need to do any wash trading. We have published the points system for Jediswap v2 and will soon release points for all the activity that has occurred on Jediswap v1 to date with a boost. Check out the points logic on our docs: Improved performance and user experience: We have significantly enhanced Jediswap's performance, making it faster and more user-friendly. One notable improvement is the integration of pool analytics directly within the Pool page, eliminating the need for users to navigate to a separate analytics page. Additionally, balance fetching has been optimised for smoother operation. Any liquidity added to pools now updates the My Positions page in real-time. Battle-tested security For this launch, we implemented several security measures. We underwent a rigorous 7-week audit process with Nethermind. With the help of the Nethermind team, we also created a test framework for Jediswap to compare security against Uniswap v3, which has been operational for 3+ years and is one of the most battle-tested smart contracts available. We simulated real data from different Uniswap v3 pools on Jediswap. We achieved a 100% match in the contract state after each on-chain action, such as swaps and liquidity adjustments, bolstering our confidence in our code's security. We will announce many cool things over the next few weeks. Keep an out JediSwap ;) Mint a Galxe NFT: To commemorate this launch, we have published a new campaign on Galxe, which rewards users with an NFT for being an early user of Jediswap v2. To earn the Galxe NFT, add at least $25 worth of liquidity to one of the pools listed in the Galxe quest.

TL;DR: I will be having awake brain surgery 4th of July - It's extremely likely to be a benign tumour - Biopsy to confirm (taken during surgery) - Apart from the surgery shouldn't be too serious to worry about. Story/Thoughts: In April I had 2 seizures within a week, both while I was asleep. The 1st one happened at around 3am, as for memory I just remember being in the ambulance for a few seconds which felt like a dream to then being awake in the ICU. Their diagnosis was "Allergic reaction" as it appeared I couldn't breathe initially. The 2nd was a week later at around 11am I would wake up then go back to sleep etc. but then I woke up with 4 paramedics looking over me saying they had to take me to the hospital (which was nearby) I was staying at my girlfriend's place during this, who was the one that ended up initially seeing and getting help from others. They decided to then do a CT scan that found a mass in my brain which prompted the MRI that is in the video. They also put me on anti-seizure medication that luckily has meant I haven't had one since. The brain tumour appears to non aggressive and likely been there/growing slowly for quite a long time but due to recent events it made the follow ups by my surgeon/doctor to recommend doing surgery to remove as much as possible and run a biopsy. The biopsy will decide what future course of action is best. (I'm from UK so NHS diff. Don't have to pay anything) As for my thoughts, the most impactful one has been seeing the impact on those around me. Especially my girlfriend, who had to see everything unfold twice. With days following would wake up during the night to see if I was still alive to any slight difference in noise I made. For me being unconscious through them moments its unimaginable the emotions and feelings she experienced. I'd do anything to carry the burden alone instead for her seeing a seizure happen to someone you care greatly about. For me, it's been surreal but manageable. In the past I've been very dissociative of myself and the world around. This has helped with the anxiousness of the diagnosis where I'm only affected by the impact I have on others. However it has shown me another perspective which I greatly would like to be better and more personal towards myself and to reflect that. Another thing relating to the above was that during (2017 - Early 2018) before I started production I had 0 direction feeling completely lost. I thought my life was over where I preyed for the end credits to roll as I'd naively thought I'd experience all to experience in life. However, I then found the one thing I was best at which is my production work. My talent was being able to show off other peoples great talent. There's so many amazing stories that exist untold and only realised through the means of production. It was something to live for and every production felt as if it were a reflection of what my entire life was. It's truly made me a much better person with those I've met and the experiences from it all. There are times I get overwhelmed with anger and pain as I still see the state of many shows I'd like to be involved in suffer from a complete lack of vision and execution from incompetence or poor management. To the extent that I feel so passionate about what I do that I'd gladly spend the last day I had on earth directing a live broadcast while dying for my last breath to call end of show. I feel many people who make up these stories such as the players, dedicate their life and have made sacrifices to be there that don't get reflected in the broadcasts that highlight them. Though with such extremities I then come down to reality where each day is different and new. I find moments of bliss with spending time with people I care about and I want to live to see such opportunities and memories ahead created thanks to the time I've spent with my girlfriend and my work that got me to the person that I want to be. Thanks for reading... I'm very inactive publicly about my personal thoughts/stories. But this has prompted me to do so. If you wanted to talk about any experiences you may have had with things surrounding this nature too feel free to msg. Also I really like to call about production stuff and discuss my work so if in the future you'd want to learn or talk, then send me a msg and we could have a call.

When Lawyers Try to Spin Science: The Messy Interpretation of Gunshot Residue in UgandaVsMollyKatanga. We’ve been following this case for more than 2 years now. The major reason for that is to bring hundreds of thousands of people into the courtroom and show them the underbelly of the Ugandan criminal justice system, with the hope of pushing for reforms. The case is now in its final stages, with both sides making submissions on a no case to answer. This is where things get rather interesting and the interpretation of science becomes crucial. Walk with me here as I explain: See, the main accused person, Mrs Molly Katanga is said to have shot her now deceased husband using his gun. Her defense team says Mr Henry Katanga likely shot himself after beating his wife to near death (a key state witness said she could have died if she hadn’t got urgent medical care). Anyway, part of the investigations for gunshot crimes is to run a test for Gunshot residue. There are components of gunpowder that are spread in the vicinity of a discharged gun and if one is within 2 meters or so of the discharged gun, they’ll most likely have it on them. GSR has both organic and inorganic components. Traditionally, it’s the testing for inorganic components like Lead, Barium, Antimony that’s widely done and widely accepted in courts. But there’s methods for testing for Organic GSR (OGSR). Components of GSR include items in propellant like nitroglycerin, diphenylamine and some stabilizers. The methods for running and interpreting OGSR results are not so standardized (internationally) and the whole process of interpretation is fraught with controversy. Reason: these same components will exist in everyday items like perfumes, cosmetics, fertilizers etc so finding the OGSR signature might not be that specific. But also, they disappear (vaporize) so fast. Anyway, because of those reasons, OGSR has found difficulty being used in courts allover the world. Enter Uganda and the case of UgandaVMollyKatanga; The state presented their 12th witness, a one Dr Jaffar Kisitu (PhD). He’s the country’s expert on this. He told Lady Justice Rosette Comfort Kania that he tested for organic components of GSR on Mrs Katanga’s hands, dress, her daughter’s dress etc. Court heard that he’s the first such expert ANYWHERE in this region to show up in court and present OGSR evidence. When asked for the protocol he followed, its standardization and use elsewhere, he said he used the protocol used by a student of his who was studying (not GSR analysis but) soil samples in Amuru district. The defense says he didn’t run these tests because he had no swabs to begin with; the swabs that were taken from Mrs Katanga having been fully used up by the DNA analysts. But that’s not why we are here. That’ll be for the Judge to decide. The reason I’m writing this piece is to show you the hustle in interpretation of results in as far as it relates to inferred guilt. The hope here is to put Judiciary Uganda, lawyers and citizens on alert that while we are embracing science (forensics) to decide some of the crimes, misinterpretation and misrepresentation of results is a real possibility. For this, I’ll use courtroom video as well as submissions from both sides in this case. Frame 1: after a back and forth with the witness that included the Judge, defense attorneys and the prosecution, Mr Elison Karuhanga asks PW12: “Dr Kisitu, under oath, are you saying you can use an OGSR result to infer someone fired a firearm?” PW12: “You cannot use OGSR to infer that someone fired a firearm.” Fast forward to prosecution submissions, page 14 and 15 (see frame 2): “the presence of those GSR components on the hands of A1 clearly points to her as the person who shot or discharged the firearm in issue”. Not what the expert said. Defense submissions in rejoinder: pages 16,17,18: prosecution is misrepresenting their witness, no swabs, no match. (See frames 3&4) Deliberate from the State or a mistake?

The people in the video are from Kherson, and they have found themselves in such a difficult life thanks to Russia. Today I would like to hear your opinion, the opinion of people living in different countries. "Strikes on the Russian Federation with Western weapons" People's opinions are divided. More and more often I read comments, messages and posts that Ukraine should not be allowed to launch long-range strikes on Russia using Western weapons. I just want to hear your opinion, constructive dialog, without aggression. People write that this will unleash Putin's already bloody hands and he will start World War 3, or use nuclear weapons. And what about my country 🇺🇦, do you propose to continue to tolerate? Weekly shelling of our homes, Russian military, shooting wherever they want and whenever they want. They destroy residential peaceful houses, and claim to the whole world (lying) that there were NATO troops there, mercenaries of Europe. Have you ever thought that maybe this 3rd world war has already started, a hidden big war. Ukraine is not going to destroy the homes of Russians like Putin does with the hands of the military, Ukraine wants to neutralize airfields, planes that carry missiles, bombs that will eventually fall on Ukrainian cities again. Of course, it is convenient to give advice to Ukrainians when you are far from the war, far from missiles and drones circling over the cities. It is convenient to give advice to us, 🇺🇦 going to bed and knowing that in the morning you and your loved ones will wake up anyway. For us Ukrainians, this war is like a vicious circle. We only have to defend ourselves, but even that is limited, because neutralizing weapons on Russian territory that will be directed at Ukraine is also defense. Maybe I am too emotional, but just imagine what will happen in 2025. There are also people who write, "Make peace with the Russians" But where is this peace, where are the guarantees, where is the trust, where is the human plan to surrender the territories... Once again Putin and his bloody hands will go unpunished. And what will come to his mind in 5 years, in 10. As I wrote above, it is easiest to give advice when you are in a completely different life situation. You are afraid of World War III or nuclear war, we are afraid too, we are human beings like you. And we also want to live, to live peacefully, in our own land. But for many of us 🇺🇦 "tomorrow" may not come! If the war continues like this.

WE MUST HOLD THE ELITE ACCOUNTABLE. Using children to blackmail world leaders is only one layer of this child trafficking and abuse epidemic, like with Epstein and Diddy, but there is a completely other layer and side which has been happening for centuries, that is a crucial component to understanding what and why these elite traffick and abuse children, and is still happening to this day. It is a powerful tool that is so effective, that even our own intelligence agencies are still involved and using multiple forms of these techniques to this day along with Hollywood and numerous elite families around the world. It's all about power, pleasure, control, and worship. This also goes hand in hand with the religious worship and ritualistic practices of Satanism or with Luciferians where child sacrifice is the largest and most effective form of worship. One aspect that is crucial to understand the big picture is the connection between many elite families, SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse) of children, trafficking, and our own governments intelligence agencies involvement with Project Mk Ultra and how everything is connected. SRA is happening behind closed doors all around the world and is nothing new. As a matter of fact, SRA is a very common occurrence in elite Satanic families and is usually a generational form of control and is passed down generation after generation. SRA is also part of a religion, a control mechanism of these horrific practices which are a crucial component for their rituals and offerings for their god. The innocence and purity of a child is what their after and is needed to complete these rituals to summon and please these demonic spirits. In Satanic practices there are many rituals which are practiced out of pure belief systems that have been around for centuries dating back to the Canaanites and the worship of Baal and Moloch through ritualistic child sacrifice. Animals are also used, but humans, especially children, are the highest form of worship. Satanic Ritual Abuse is also used in Sex Magick ceremonies which stem from many of Aliester Crowley's teachings, who was also a pedophi*e, which are used to summon spirits and open gateways or portals to whatever entity they are communicating with to receive power, knowledge, or "gifts." This is what they believe and why they do it. NASA and the Collins Elite with NASA's own Jack Parsons, which is one of the godfathers of rocketry was heavily into "Thelema," which is Crowley's teachings and was also an open Satanist. These rituals are done because they are part of these Satanic beliefs and religions to get something. To satisfy one's sick desires and receive whatever it is which they seek. Otherwise these people to this day would not be doing this. This is said to be how many of people received information or knowledge from using these Satanic rituals to contact entities, and would receive information or gifts. Jack Parsons was said to have obtained the knowledge to build rockets from these methods. No rocket programs existed back then. Another famous ritual performed was the "Babylonian Workings," which you can research on your own time. It's very interesting to say the least. Performing this abuse is part of literally creating a version of a modern day slave. Breaking down one's ego and reprogramming one's brain through trauma and putting it back together to the abusers desired target personality. This is what is known as multiple personality disorder or dissociative disorder. During WW2 the Germans heavily studied mind control and learned this through their own experiments. After the war, the German scientists were transferred to the U.S. through Operation Paperclip. Many of these scientists went into intelligence and mind control operations in the CIA, which created the infamous project known as MK Ultra. Using drugs, electricity, SRA, trauma, torture, and many other horrific, abusive techniques, they learned how to shatter the mind and reprogram it to their desire. Many of the people they experimented on were children. During the Church hearings in the 1970s there were hearings about these programs which the CIA admitted that THOUSANDS of children, mainly orphans were taken or abducted and used in these experiments. Another known example is the CIA and the "Finders Cult." A literal Satanic cult within the CIA kidnapping children and Satanically ritualistically abusing them and experimenting with mind control. Which they then got completely away with. To this day the CIA continues to be involved with the trafficking and sexual abuse of children. There are articles and cases all over which you can research. Many turned out to become sex slaves, assassins and many never made it. The people running these programs were mainly Satanists themselves and many are still in our government today. We have been infiltrated for a very long time. Heavily infiltrated for a very long time. These techniques have been going on for decades and used on celebrities throughout Hollywood since the beginning. This is where you get all the sex slaves and weird behavior because they were all required to go through these forms of control to get where they are today. You aren't blackmailed, or compromised in order to be controlled, you don't climb the ladder of fame. Period. The ones at the top and who control the world are Satanists and children are needed to complete their rituals in order to get what they want and to complete these ceremonies. All of this goes hand in hand. Many involved with Epstein or Diddy all come from wealth or have some relation to the ones at the top. This is the whole other side of the blackmail issue with children to control our world leaders and politicians. This is the side that nobody wants to talk about but is one of the most important aspects to understanding the entire big picture and the many layers of truth. Many were abused themselves as they were growing up, then become like their abusers when they grow up and the cycle continues. Some get out. Many don't. We must hold everyone of these people trafficking and abusing children accountable. From the very bottom street level, all the way to the elite at the top. The blackmail and this horrific Satanic abuse needs to be completely eradicated in order for the world to heal and move forward. There are no coincidences. Everything is connected. Save the children. Full 2 hour video on my Rumble. Link will be in comments.

//The Wire//2300Z March 26, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: STRATEGIC AMERICAN BOMBERS STAGE AT DIEGO GARCIA. FALLOUT FROM GROUP CHAT SCANDAL CONTINUES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Indian Ocean: Aviation watchers have noted a significant buildup of military aircraft at Diego Garcia. Several B2 bombers have forward deployed to the infamous island, along with almost a dozen KC-135R Stratotankers and other transport aircraft. AC: This morning, a Notice-to-Airmen (NOTAM) was issued for Diego Garcia announcing ramp parking spot closures for the runway, indicating preparations to stage large numbers of military aircraft. This NOTAM is active until May 1, 2025. Lithuania: Four American service members were found deceased after a training accident this morning. Initial reporting indicates that an M88 recovery vehicle drove/overturned into a lake during a routine training exercise. The soldiers were assigned to 1st Brigade, 3ID. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - Fallout from the Atlantic scandal continues in a variety of means. Various liberal politicians have called for various resignations due to this scandal, while conservatives have stated that no resignations will occur. As the initial release of screenshots did not achieve the desired effect, The Atlantic released more screenshots of group chat messages. AC: This morning, the activist group American Oversight filed a lawsuit against SECDEF Hegseth for the leak, and the judge assigned to this case has been announced as D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg, the same judge who is currently at the center of hot controversy for out-of-jurisdiction rulings. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: The events at Diego Garcia are a major indication and warning of an impending large-scale military conflict. Since these aircraft were not entirely covert in their movements, various intelligence services around the world know that this logistical staging is underway. What it's for, is anyone's guess. This could be for an escalation of the conflict in Yemen, or it could be staging for a large scale war with Iran. The use of Diego Garcia as a staging zone implies that the traditional staging sites (Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, etc) probably do not want to be diplomatically involved in what is about to take place. The remote location of Diego Garcia (which is also not located in an Islamic nation) provides the added benefit of being out of range of most of Iran's weapons, and thus a vastly more secure site for the staging of strategic bombers. In short, if the United States were to seek a war with Iran, this is exactly the type of forward-deployment that would take place. Of course, despite the very clear and obvious military staging, a single phone call can result in all of these aircraft heading home without firing a shot. From the voyage of the Great White Fleet, to flying B-52's low and slow over various countries over the years, American history is full of examples of American power projection via the movement of very big weapons. However, using the information we have at the moment, the forward-deployment of national-level strategic assets indicates staging for a military campaign. Regarding the group chat scandal, now that we have a closer look at more screenshots provided by The Atlantic, a lot more information of questionable classification level has come to light. Even though the newly-posted screenshots are not the smoking-gun The Atlantic claims, if this information was not a deliberate plant, it would indeed have been a serious violation of Operational Security (OPSEC). Really the only communication that was a serious breach of OPSEC came from the SECDEF, who announced that the targeting missions against the Houthis in Yemen were a "GO", and detailed the number of strikes and estimated Time-on-Target. However, when determining the classification level of information, the source itself would dictate this. For instance, the SECDEF did not create this information himself, this was paraphrased from a slide deck or a briefing he was sent through proper channels. If an investigation were to be conducted, the classification of the information in that document would be the true source for whether or not Hegseth's comments were classified in any way. But therein lies the problem, he very likely paraphrased, and didn't copy directly from a classified intelligence product. It is this paraphrasing that gets into muddy waters really quickly, and highlights long-standing issues in government. When it comes to the higher levels of government organization, OPSEC is a nightmare under the best of conditions; regardless of party affiliation, anytime a politician gets their hands on any classified information one can rest assured that it will be held under the most lax security conditions possible. This does not excuse the behavior, but it does explain it. Similar story with the use of the Signal app in the first place; historically, this has very obviously not been an authorized form of communication. However it's been used for many years unofficially by staffers all over Washington (along with WhatsApp, before the security concerns prompted the general shift to Signal a few years ago). This morning DNI Tulsi Gabbard somewhat perplexingly confirmed that the Signal app is pre-installed on government-issued communications devices. If this is true, this would suggest a very new approach to the handling of official communications. Smartphones with access to classified information systems have existed for many years (such as the DMCC-S phones), but are highly compartmentalized and controlled, and do not usually have third party apps or app stores installed. However, if the DNI's testimony is to be believed, and the use of Signal itself was somehow authorized, the scandal then shifts to how an unauthorized person obtained access (since this clearly confirms that these communications were not compartmentalized in accordance with long-standing regulations). More generally, the use of Signal is mostly a byproduct of fast-paced comms being needed between high-ranking officials that are also convenient to use, even if they aren't as secure or official. This is also complicated by the fact that almost all politicians do not understand the concept of what's called Aggregation in the world of intelligence work. In short, a single detail can be unclassified...but if you get enough unclassified information together in the same report, this can add up to being a classified report. As Hegseth stated in response to the leak "No names. No targets. No locations. No units. No routes. No sources. No methods." were stated in the group chat. However, all of this data could have been easily discerned from other sources, in conjunction with what was provided. Notably, Mr. Hegseth left out the Time-on-Target information, which is almost certainly classified SECRET or higher, based on CENTCOM's own Classification Guide. If this group chat is indeed genuine, ignorance of the concept of Aggregation was probably the best explanation for what happened. Various officials "sanitizing" their remarks thinking that they are unclassified, but when put into the context of the larger conversation, their remarks should have been made by other means. This happens all the time, and is why the age-old spy tradecraft tactic of nationstates monitoring American Congressional hearings is still probably a wealth of information...all it takes is a Congressman getting a bit carried away and suddenly sensitive information is being alluded to, implied, or in some cases, stated openly. This has been the culture of Washington for a long time, but this is something that is really only accepted at the higher levels of organization. Once again, it doesn't make it right, but this is the reality of the way that classified information is handled by politicians; if any junior soldier had posted attack timeline details in a group chat, they would have been punished severely for this OPSEC breach, and their future career destroyed. If it were a low-ranking service member, the question of "is this classified?" would default to an answer of "yes, at bare minimum SECRET". When a politician is involved however, the answer defaults to a slap-on-the-wrist, at most. This is simply the reality of how things work. The official White House response has also shifted to denial, with the Press Secretary calling the event a "hoax". However, this statement is in opposition to the statements by other officials, such as the Vice President and SECDEF themselves. Both have not denied that the group chat was real, and both have spoken about the incident in terms of accepting that the chat is real, but also denying that anything damning was said (which is very obviously not true if a targeting timeline was posted). One possibility that must be considered is that these messages (or even the entire group chat itself) could have been run primarily by low-level staffers instead of the public figures themselves. In other words, it might not have actually been the SECDEF himself communicating the probably classified information, but a staffer instead. Historically speaking, it wouldn't be the first time that a staffer got their boss in trouble. However in this specific case, this is a hard argument to make. It's hard to believe that a low-level staffer would be posting targeting timetables in this manner. The sheepish responses by those implicated in the scandal also indicates that they were the ones behind the messages, especially since many words have been spoken on this scandal...none of which have been a flat-out denial of the identities of those involved. At this point, what the exact truth is will be impossible to verify with a high level of confidence. The whole affair could be fabricated from the ground up by the Atlantic, though this is unlikely based on the statements by those who were in the group chat. The group chat is almost certainly real, and the messages were probably sent by those as alleged. If the more controversial information was indeed taken from a classified briefing product, paraphrased, and posted in the group chat, this paraphrasing does not change the original classification of the intelligence product. The real question that remains is whether or not this was a deliberate deception attempt, or a deliberate leak of some kind. Whatever the truth is, it's unlikely to matter much in the long run, as this whole scandal has already turned into a political issue rather than the objective investigation and learning opportunity it should be. Also, the Secretary of Defense is an Original Classification Authority (OCA) per long standing mandate, so even if Hegseth (and others) did disclose classified information, he has the authority to retroactively declassify that information himself, at will.
