UN’S CYPRUS FAILURE: RESOLUTIONS IGNORED, INVASION ENABLED‼️ The UN’s track record on Cyprus exposes its glaring incompetence, resolutions passed, ignored, and forgotten. In 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus, prompting UNSC Resolution 353 demanding immediate withdrawal of foreign troops. No enforcement, Turkey stayed. In 1983 Turkey declared the “independence” of the...

A SHIP SINKS IN OCCUPIED CYPRUS, PEOPLE DIE. TURKEY’S REPS TELL THE LEGAL AUTHORITY OF THE ISLAND ITS HELP IS NOT ACCEPTED🚨 Earlier today a passenger ferry left occupied Kyrenia for Mersin with about 267 people on board. Within minutes it took on water and capsized, leaving at least seven people dead and dozens still missing. Survivors clung to an overturned hull while the wreck went down to the seabed a couple of hundreds of meters deep. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre of the Republic of Cyprus, the only internationally recognised state on this island and the only lawful SAR authority for these waters, received the emergency and offered immediate help. President Christodoulides instructed contact with Turkey’s representative in occupied Cyprus Tufan Erhurman & co for every available Cypriot asset that could be used but instead accepting help, the occupying side’s answer was that they “do not need the assistance.” If you don’t know what the Cyprus problem is all about, this should enlighten you. Occupied Cyprus, a territory held by Turkey since the 1974 invasion is an illegal regime that Turkey alone recognises. The occupied coast where Ankara’s forces, not the government of the Republic of Cyprus, decide who is allowed to save lives and who’s not. Turkey doesn’t want to accept that the legitimate authorities of the island, an EU member state, have the right and the duty to act in a maritime disaster off Kyrenia which belongs to the Republic of Cyprus. It’s politics first for Turkey and human beings come second, that’s exactly how illegal occupation works. Mainstream media must stop laundering this by reporting that this happened in “northern Cyprus” or treat Erhurman’s illegal administration as a normal government, hiding the fact that the lawful search and rescue system of the island was blocked by the occupying power and its local representatives like himself. Say it clearly Reuters, BBC, AFP News Agency and many others, this tragedy happened in occupied Cyprus and Turkey prevents the Republic of Cyprus from exercising its authority even when people are drowning. Days ago Tufan Erhürman was writing letters to the UN, the EU and FC Barcelona over a cancelled football camp but today people are missing at sea and the same structure that answers to Turkey refuses Cypriot rescue assets. Grievance politics is not a reason to turn away help, neither is the fiction of a second state on this island. The Republic of Cyprus is the sole sovereign authority of the whole island. Turkey occupies part of it, partitions its air and sea space and in a crisis still decides who will help. This is an illegal occupation that now has a body count attached to a Sunday ferry. To all mainstream media and independent journalists: Name the place - occupied Cyprus Name the occupation - Turkish occupation Name who blocked the rescuers - Turkey

URGENT GLOBAL PLEA TO FREE ELDERLY GREEK CYPRIOTS HELD HOSTAGE IN OCCUPIED CYPRUS‼️ These five pensioners have been held hostage in dungeons for the past 3 weeks in occupied Cyprus after being abducted by illegal Turkish regime forces. Their crime? Visiting their property stolen by Turkey in 1974! Turkish developers are building resorts on stolen Greek Cypriot properties in occupied Cyprus and selling to foreigners. The Republic of Cyprus, the legal authority of the whole island, has issued international arrest warrants for all involved, the usurpers, developers and buyers. This upset the illegal regime and under direct orders of Turkey via its representative in occupied Cyprus, Ersin Tatar, the invading force are abducting Greek Cypriots crossing to the occupied areas. Where are the condemnations Where are the marches? Where is the UN Mr António Guterres? Where is the EU Mrs Ursula von der Leyen? Where are the “guarantors” Keir Starmer and Kyriakos Mitsotakis? p.s.

Israel's impunity must end. The UN charter stipulates that all security council resolutions are legally binding under international law. One of the conditions of being accepted into the UN is that member states should adhere to UN resolutions. Any country that is no consistent and regular in not abiding by international law and UN resolutions, should indeed be expelled from the UN. Israel is the most flagrant abuser of UN resolutions, by far, as of 1948, Israel has disregarded roughly 450 to 550 United Nations General Assembly resolutions, has been the subject of more than 230 United Nations Security Council resolutions, rejected and failed to implement 32, and as of 2006, Israel had been condemned in 112 resolutions by the United Nations Human Rights Council. Since 1972, there have been 59 vetoes on Israel-related resolutions. It’s been 54 years from 1972 until that 59th veto in late 2025. That's basically once a year. Once a year for 54 years, the UN has asked about Israel and the security council has blocked it. Every single one of those Israel related resolutions was blocked by the United States. Since 2023, Israel has defied all UN Security Council resolutions on Gaza. The Security Council passed ceasefire resolutions and Israel disobey it. The International Court of Justice ordered Israel to stop preventing delivery of needed aid, and Israel disobey it. The Hague demanded this. Geneva demanded this. The human conscience demanded this. Yet Israel continues to disobey it. If the world is concerned in secret nuclear programs, there's a country that doesn't allow any IAEA inspectors, with a UN security council resolution 487 in 1981 says, "calls upon Israel urgently to place its nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA." Israel refuses. Israel behaves like a rogue state within the UN, yet its impunity has gone beyond mere violations of UN resolutions... Israel has killed—deliberately, in most—a record number of UN staff. Israel has murdered nearly 400 UN personnel—serving under the UN’s blue flag—since October 7, 2023, alone; roughly ten times higher than the UN casualties in all other global conflict zones combined over the same period.. For the first time in the history of the United Nations. Israel takeover of UN headquarters and raised Israeli flag over the buildings. Israel has attacked UN food distribution centers, shelled UN schools that people are using as a shelter, targeted UN convoys carrying Humanitarian aid workers heading to starving children. Israel has also targeted medical supplies warehouse and hospitals, and bombarded UN facilities; at least 420 distinct UN installations have been directly hit, damaged, or occupied by Israel across Palestine and Lebanon, since October 7, 2023. To date, Israel has killed seven UN peacekeepers and wounded nearly a dozen others wearing UN uniform under serving under UN flag in Lebanon. Attacking UN peacekeepers is an abomination which was in the past perpetrated by terrorists, but never by members of the UN. Some of you pretended to care what the UN had to say in 1948; do you care that the UN of today has had more UN personnel killed in the last three years than have been killed or lost in any other single conflict or crisis in the entire 81-year history of the United Nations. Israel has violated international law, international humanitarian law, human rights law, the Geneva and Vienna Conventions, the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Rome Statute, the 1994 Convention, the UN Charter and Security Council resolutions... Israel has violated all international norms to date... Any country that is no consistent and regular in not abiding by international law and UN resolutions, should indeed be expelled from the UN. Israel cannot continue to be treated as a full member of the UN. This Is what the UN Charter says. Shouldn’t Israel now be expelled from the UN under international law? This world has completely lost its meaning.

A Response to Historical Amnesia: The Truth About Cyprus Europe’s mind has long been occupied — not by armies, but by narratives. The Greek Cypriot and Hellenic propaganda machine has colonized European discourse so thoroughly that many in Brussels have stopped thinking — and started parroting. Worse yet, they do so willingly, without protest, as if truth were an inconvenience and justice a partisan tool. Let’s get one thing straight. This isn’t about “occupation” — it’s about the prevention of annihilation. In 1974, Türkiye didn’t invade Cyprus; it intervened as a guarantor power, after a violent coup orchestrated by Athens aimed to annex the island under the infamous ENOSIS plan — a plan that translated into the ethnic cleansing of Turkish Cypriots. Let’s not mince words: Before Türkiye’s intervention, Turkish Cypriots were being hunted, displaced, and massacred. They lived in enclaves, cut off, under siege. The so-called Republic of Cyprus had already collapsed as a bi-communal entity in the 1960s — it became a de facto Greek state long before 1974. For 51 years, the island has known peace. No war. No massacres. No ethnic cleansing. Türkiye didn’t bring conflict — it brought stability. It halted a bloodbath that Europe was either unable or unwilling to stop. And yet, here comes EPP Group — repeating the age-old script, eyes wide shut, ears closed to history, lips moving only to echo Greek Cypriot talking points. You speak of international law, but you erase the Zurich and London Agreements, which gave Türkiye the legal and moral obligation to act. What’s truly illegal is not Türkiye’s presence — but the EU’s decision to reward the Greek Cypriot side after it rejected the UN-backed Annan Plan in 2004. Turkish Cypriots said yes to reunification. Greek Cypriots said no — and were rewarded with EU membership. That’s not diplomacy. That’s betrayal. The Greek Cypriot administration was admitted into the European Union in blatant violation of the very principles the Union claims to uphold — through deception, unilateral recognition, and by exploiting the vacuum created by an unresolved conflict. So let’s not pretend. The real division in Cyprus was born not in 1974 — but in the massacres of the 1960s, in the refusal to share power, and in the Europe-enabled silencing of an entire people. As long as Türkiye stands firm on the island — and it will — no amount of political theatre, rhetorical acrobatics, or historical revisionism will alter the reality on the ground. You speak of reunification, yet pursue a fantasy detached from history, justice, and human dignity. The course you are on is a parallel universe — one where truth is optional and consequences are overlooked. If change is what you seek, know this: the only path you leave open is conflict — and in that path, all sides lose. But make no mistake: if ever forced to choose, we will protect that land with the last drop of our blood. We will never allow it to be stained by those who once turned it into a graveyard of peace. Let it be clear: the era of federation is over. We offered it — again and again. The Greek Cypriot side rejected it — again and again. Now, the only viable path is two sovereign states. That is not a threat. It is the reality you refused to accept for decades. Türkiye didn’t split Cyprus — it saved lives. And the world is not blind. We see the selective outrage. We note the hypocrisy. And history, whether you accept it or not, remembers everything.

⛵️✍️ Flotilla Update⛵️✍️: After a final technical pit stop in Antalya bay, the Global Sumud Flotilla fleet with over 50 boats is heading for Gaza—on alert as it sails past Cyprus, and with no more planned stops. Soon after departing from a port in Marmaris, Turkey, the 58 Sumud Flotilla boats were forced to make a technical stop, with two ships decommissioned for this leg of the journey. Any further technical problems will mean the boats will be serviced independently of the flotilla, which does not plan to stop for any reason. Now, the fleet is leaving Antalya bay and will continue on toward Gaza, after departing today. From here, according to the revised route passing by Cyprus, it will take 3 to 4 days to reach Gaza. The fleet will be in international waters west of Cyprus by the end of the day, and organizers have implemented a heightened alert status for the fleet starting at sundown this evening, when the ships immediately risk attack and interception by Israeli forces. The fleet will remain on high alert until interception or until it reaches Gaza’s shores.

Masoud Barzani and Turkey’s nationalist leader Devlet Bahçeli have traded barbed statements over the weapons carried by Barzani’s bodyguards. Barzani attended a symposium in Turkey’s Şırnak (Şırnax) province, and a widely shared clip (attached) showed one of his bodyguards carrying an M4 carbine while several people in the crowd, apparently there to greet Barzani, shouted “Long live Peshmerga.” In an interview with his party’s newspaper, Turkey’s Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader and Erdoğan ally Devlet Bahçeli, who is fronting the peace talks initiative with Öcalan, was asked about the incident. The paper framed the event as a “show” built around Barzani’s presence. Bahçeli responded: “Foreign-uniformed soldiers wandering around our homeland with long-barrelled guns is, in a word, a disgrace. The sovereign rights and law of the Republic of Turkey have been violated. This is a deliberate attack on the reputation of the Republic of Turkey... Our state has the strength, capability and capacity to protect every guest who comes to our country. In addition, it is a basic rule that the brand, quantity and calibre of any weapons carried or used by foreign security guards who come to our country must be notified to Turkey beforehand. But there is no such thing as foreign soldiers or security guards bringing long-barrelled guns into our country while in uniform.” Within hours, Barzani’s office issued a sharply worded response, saying that “Bahçeli’s remarks come at a time when all the details and security measures for President Barzani’s visit were based on protocol-based coordination between the relevant institutions.” The statement then moved to a personal rebuke of Bahçeli: “We had thought that God had guided Devlet Bahçeli to the right path and that he had turned the page on racism and chauvinism. But it seems he is still the same old Grey Wolf, only now wearing sheep’s clothing.” The exchange is notable because Bahçeli has in recent months repeatedly praised Öcalan in the context of the peace talks and softened his tone on the Kurds. It also comes at a sensitive moment in KDP–Turkey relations, against the backdrop of PKK–Turkey negotiations, and matters all the more because Bahçeli remains a central pillar of the governing alliance that President Erdoğan relies on.

🚨🇮🇷🇹🇷Is the Iran War Accidentally Rebuilding the Ottoman Empire? The Ottomans didn't dominate the world through conquest alone. They dominated by controlling Eurasian land trade routes and large swathes of the Mediterranean. The Iran war may be positioning Turkey to rebuild that same combination. For decades, the Strait of Hormuz carried nearly 20% of global oil and LNG supply. The Iran war has created an opening for alternative routes — and Turkey sits at the intersection of several plausible ones: 🔸 Turkmen gas via Trans-Caspian into the TANAP network — through Turkey to Europe, bypassing the Gulf entirely. 🔸 The Iraq-Turkey pipeline extended to Basra — up to 1.5 million barrels daily to Mediterranean markets, outside Iranian reach. 🔸 Qatar gas via Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey — directly to European LNG terminals, entirely overland. For 400 years, the Ottoman Empire sat at the crossroads of East and West not because it conquered everything, but because everything valuable traveled through it. If these three routes are built, a significant share of energy moving from the Gulf to Europe would pass through Turkish territory. The Ottomans understood this formula: control the routes, control the trade. And they backed it with a navy that, at its height, dominated the Mediterranean. Turkey is now rebuilding that same combination. 41 warships are under simultaneous construction, and 120 ships with 15,000 personnel recently completed the Blue Homeland-2026 exercises across three seas. This growing fleet allows Turkey to project power across the Eastern Mediterranean — a region already crowded with competing energy interests. Why does that matter? The Eastern Mediterranean is becoming a gas hub in its own right. 🔸Major discoveries (Leviathan, Tamar, Aphrodite, Zohr) have turned Israel, Egypt, and Cyprus into potential suppliers for Europe. 🔸Those countries are developing offshore LNG terminals and subsea pipelines. 🔸98% of Israeli foreign trade depends on Mediterranean navigation — including its ability to export gas. Turkey now actively contests this sea. By positioning itself as both an energy corridor and a naval power in the Eastern Mediterranean, Ankara could in the long run influence who ships what, where, and under what terms.

MOMENTS AGO: President Trump on Truth Social: “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’ Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

MOMENTS AGO: President Trump on Truth Social: “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’ Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

As the E3 prepares to snapback all sanctions on Iran at the UN, it is important to understand what the E3's intentions are and what they are not. Netanyahu quoted the German Chancellor in his UN address (to a largely empty hall) that "Israel is doing the dirty work for all of us [by bombing Iran]." This was not just the absence of condemning Israel's act of aggression; this was a full-throated European endorsement of Israel starting a war. Given this significant statement, it is no longer justified to simply assume that the E3's actions with the snapback are designed to solve the nuclear issue peacefully. While that assumption had grounds earlier on, it no longer does. I have spoken to several European diplomats at the UN this week, and several expressed both discomfort and outright opposition to the E3 move, understanding both that its outcome and intent are problematic. But the E3 is not taking its cues from the EU, but from the White House. And its calculations have more to do with Ukraine and the transatlantic relationship than the nuclear file.

📅🇧🇦 On this day in July 1995, the final stage of the Bosnian Genocide began when the besieged town of Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia was invaded by the Army of the Republika Srpska (VRS). Over the next five to six days, the VRS, headed by convicted genocidaire Ratko Mladić, murdered 8,372 Bosniaks. They deported thousands of Bosniak women and children, raping women en route. The VRS was the military wing of the genocidal "Republika Srpska" project, which aimed to create a Serb-majority entity in northern and eastern Bosnia. This project was funded and armed by Serbia's president, Slobodan Milošević. In Europe, Greece and Cyprus were two major allies of this project, helping Milošević circumvent economic sanctions against his regime. Srebrenica was a UN-declared "safe area" under UN Resolution 819 on 16 April 1993. This term had no legal definition and therefore stipulated no concrete measurement of defence. The results of this hollow declaration would become crystal clear in July 1995 when approximately 40,000 refugees fled Srebrenica on 11 July to the UN base in Potočari. Here they expected UN Peacekeeping forces to protect them from the VRS onslaught. They were proven wrong. UN Peacekeepers agreed with Ratko Mladić to deport the women and children, while handing over Bosniak men and boys to the VRS 'to be vetted'. These boys were ripped from their families' arms as they were boarding deportation buses. They would all be killed. The survivors of the Srebrenica Genocide and their descendants have taken charge of memorialising their genocide. They keep the history of their community alive while operating in a "Republika Srpska" entity which denies and glorifies the genocide. If there is one thing you can do to be a part of keeping the history of what happened alive, visit and donate to organisations such as Srebrenica Memorial Center. #Srebrenica30

Time, as the Rolling Stones said, is on my side. The Iranian side, that is. Iran is on land, commanding the Strait of Hormuz. The 'United States' is out at sea, and all of its base belong to us. Iran can break the imperial economy with its weapon of Mass Economic Destruction (MED), but the White Empire can't break them because they're used to it. The ships that didn't leave a month ago are not arriving just now and Iran just has to wait for the imperial economy to blow. Any minute now. Iran is not in a hurry to make (or break) this ceasefire. Their shots have already been fired and they just need to wait a little bit for 'America' to realize it. They can delay this day a bit using the futures market, but eventually the future becomes the present, and then what? All 'America' can do, in its furore, is close the strait even more, which just makes the straitjacket even tighter. 'America' has to move mountains to change their fate, but all Iran has to do is not move.

Quick services and empathetic guidance are the pillars that help any business grow for the long run and sustain with trust. This is exactly what I have personally experienced with BLS. In my own family, whenever we needed support, BLS was there without hesitation. It was not a one time thing. Their team consistently stood with us, guiding us like we were a part of their own system. Later, I noticed the same sentiment echoed by many others. People talk about BLS with genuine respect and gratitude, just like the story shown in this video. When so many unrelated people share the same positive experiences, it says a lot about the values of a company. Their ethics are A1 and that is why their numbers are A1. The recent Q2 results clearly reflect this. The stock performance is also telling the same story. Growth like this does not happen by accident. It happens when a company places the nation first and keeps people at the core of its mission. There is something very Indian about BLS. The sincerity the reliability and the feeling of walking together as a team for the nation. Businesses like this strengthen our belief that India is not just rising economically it is rising with character.

Not long ago, Turkey was running a neo-Ottoman project across the Arab world. The Muslim Brotherhood was the tool. Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, the Gulf media wars. Western analysts called it one of the defining threats to the regional order. They were right! That era is over! It did not end through Western pressure. It ended because Saudi Arabia spent a decade building the economic, religious and diplomatic weight that made accommodation with Riyadh worth more to Ankara than confrontation. Investment. Mediation. Religious authority. Doors quietly closed. Soft power in its least glamorous form, and its most effective. I think we should be grateful for that. We rarely are. Turkey is now moving toward the Arab world, not away from it. On 7 August, in Mecca, Erdoğan, Mohammed bin Salman and Shehbaz Sharif signed a joint defence agreement: an attack on one is an attack on all three. It did not come from nowhere. Ankara joined a Riyadh-led maritime coalition in late July, one of fourteen founding members. The 2023 drone contract was Turkey's largest defence export deal at the time. This is the Middle East Western analysts spent fifteen years asking for. Two days before the signing, Steven A. Cook published a column in Foreign Policy arguing that strategic blunders have plagued Saudi Arabia's approach to the region. The verdict arrived before the ink was dry. Read it closely and it collapses. Cook says Riyadh has no strategy. Then he lists it: protect the economic transformation, avoid a wider war, lower tensions with Iran, stop armed factions from imposing facts by force, tie normalisation with Israel to a Palestinian state. That is not the absence of a strategy. That is a hierarchy of priorities. His real objection is that it is not his strategy- one that would have Saudi Arabia tolerate the STC, hold the UAE partnership regardless of conflicting aims, welcome an Israeli foothold in Somaliland, and stand as the front line against Iran. He says the Sanaa runway strike was unnecessary. In the same breath he concedes Mahan Air is tied to the IRGC, and that the Houthi delegation may have carried more than pistachios and carpets. He accepts the violation, then faults the attempt to stop it. He also assigns the strike to Riyadh. Saudi Arabia never claimed it. Yemen's internationally recognised government announced it. Then the pattern. Restraint is weakness. Action is recklessness. De-escalation is buying calm. Interdiction is provocation. Cook recommends retreat, then cites the retreat as proof there is no strategy. And he blames Riyadh for the Houthi escalation - as if the Houthis had not been firing at Saudi cities for years, as if Iran's proxy project began this July. A possible Saudi miscalculation does not absolve Iran and the Houthis of their own violence! Underneath all of it sits the oldest false narrative in the file: that Saudi Arabia is weak. Remember Yemen. The Kingdom had the capability and the intent to end the Houthi project militarily. What constrained it was Western political pressure in the name of human rights - war powers votes, suspended munitions, withdrawn targeting support. Riyadh was told to stop. It stopped. Then it absorbed years of missiles and drones on its airports, its cities and its oil infrastructure while holding a truce it was never legally obliged to hold! You can argue the restrictions were right. You cannot impose them, watch the adversary rearm through the corridor you protected, and then call the result a Saudi failure. Restraint imposed by allies is not incapacity. Saudi Arabia is not the architect of this crisis. It is the state repeatedly asked to carry the cost of other people's strategies - and it is now building, with Ankara and Islamabad, an architecture that reduces its need to. The criticism came before the agreement was a week old. That says less about Saudi strategy than about how hard it is for some analysts to read an order they no longer write.

🇺🇸 WHY DO WE KEEP PAYING FOR ALLIES WHO GHOST US WHEN IT MATTERS?! Trump just said the quiet part out loud on NATO. He went to the summit in Turkey almost as a favor to Erdogan. Not because Europe earned it. His words were blunt. He said America was not treated well after taking action in Iran. Then he dropped the line that should be on every front page. "We don't need anybody's help." Read that twice. The most powerful nation on earth stood alone and did not even blink. Meanwhile the so called allies folded like lawn chairs. Trump named names. Italy said no. Germany said no. France said no. Even the UK tried to hedge, offering help only after the fight was already over. That is not an ally. That is a fair weather friend showing up for the parade after the war is won. For decades America has poured trillions into NATO. Trillions. To protect European borders from threats that never once crossed our own ocean. And when we finally needed a hand, the cupboard was empty. Trump said it best. "Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars and they're not there for us? We've always been there for them." That is not isolationism. That is basic fairness. You do not keep paying the insurance premium for a company that vanishes the one time you file a claim. America First is not about abandoning the world. It is about refusing to be the only one holding up the roof while everyone else collects the rent. Trump tested them. They failed the test. Now the whole country knows exactly who our friends really are.

The situation in northern Israel is getting surprisingly little attention in the West. Here’s some background and an explanation of just how dire it is. World War Three gets closer by the day, and I’m not exaggerating. UNSC resolution 1701 (2006) is that Hezbollah agree to stay north of the river Litani in Lebanon. This puts Israeli settlements out of anti-tank rocket range. However, Hezbollah have broken this and since 7th October have fired thousands of rockets into Israel, displacing some 60,000 Israelis from their homes. To be clear, Hezbollah is a direct Iranian proxy, who live like a virus inside the almost-dead body of the Lebanese state. Their fighters are far superior to Hamas, having gained serious experience in the Syrian civil war. They have no real ground manoeuvre or air power, but their tunnels in the chalk rock of southern Lebanon are better than Hamas’ and they have an estimated 150,000 rockets. There are UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon, but (shockingly for the UN, I know) they’re as much use as a bacon sandwich at a Bar Mitzvah. One very senior Israeli source described them to me as “an umbrella that folds when it rains”. So Israel has a real, very serious problem. They do not have the manpower to assault into Lebanon for any kind of sustained campaign, especially whilst Gaza is ongoing. So, in polite terms, they are kicking the shit out of it from the air (over which they have total superiority) and relying on missile defences. Thousands of targets have been struck in the last 9 months but Hezbollah retain very significant missile capability. This is why Israel are beholden to the USA to offer obscenely generous ceasefire terms to Hamas (that Hamas appear to be declining). They cannot afford to lose American military aid with this threat on their northern border. In the videos below, in the first vid you see the war zone northern Israel has become. The second one is the settlement of Katzrin in the Golan Heights. Surrounded on all sides by fires. In a statement to Qatari-funded Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece Al Jazeera, yesterday Hezbollah said, “We simultaneously attacked 15 bases in the Golan and the Galilee using 150 rockets and 30 drones. This is the most extensive attack carried out by the organization since October 8, this attack came in response to the assassination in Joya and in order to deter Israel from carrying out further assassinations of this type.” On top of that, Iranian proxies in Iraq took responsibility last night for the joint operation they carried out together with the Houthis (Iranian proxies in Yemen), which launched these ballistic missiles and UAVs towards the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Haifa (third video). Iran is besieging Israel on all sides, and Israel is bending, not breaking. This situation is genuinely dire. It explains why Hamas will not sign a ceasefire deal, and why other non-Iran aligned Gulf states are meeting with IDF commanders. The entire region is teetering on the edge of a much more widespread conflict with Iran, and Israel is taking the brunt of it. If this situation deteriorates, our allies in the Gulf may call for aid. As a second front in the war against the Iran-Russia-China-Qatar axis of malign global actors, this could not be more serious or worrying. And all the while we see subversive Iranian proxy organisations organising protests about Gaza on Western streets. Hopefully the West is not defeated domestically before the war even starts in earnest.

2. Teasers / MV / Live presentations We believe all the content should include all members. Not some content, but all of it. We see some people excusing the exclusion of Lee Know in some content because "he will appear in other content", we don't understand why he would be excluded out of any content when the group includes 8 members. There isn't an excuse for this to happen all the time. We will only talk about recent releases and God's Menu to not make this even longer. a) Gods Menu - A title track where they gave him zero lines and screen time (song that they continue to sing, so the company could have made a redistribution of the lines). b) Megaverse - They gave him lines in the initial release, but then they cut his part to 3 seconds, and decided to delete his center part leaving him with half of a line. c) Hall Of Fame - Every live presentation they would cut Lee Know on his own part recording from below all of the other members and only listening to Lee Know's voice without being able to look at him. d) S-Class - They stopped recording the kick he does and instead they record the other members, Lee Know sings there. e) JJAM - When it was dance racha time, Lee Know got almost no time, during the life presentation the moment he goes to the center he says his line "I know..." and while he says it, the screen gets black, so he doesn't have that time on screen, later he is placed at the back covered during the dance break. He is the dance leader. f) Walkin on Water' - During the live presentation, they decided to record everyone on his part, and cut it from his own fancam. g) Recent teasers - He was completely excluded from the first teaser and only included in the second one, he got no solo recording on the MV like the other members. h) Giant - There is a part on the video where all the members are shown, Lee Know is covered and the lights are lowered where he is, making him invisible. During the live presentation, they record other members on his part, they put the dance focus on others, being the only part he has where he sings alone. i) YOUTH - After the release of the MV, the company decided to edit the video causing views to freeze and deleting a very important part where it thanked the people involved. The time from when the video was finished to when it was published was enough to arrange all the details, and the part deleted was so big, it was impossible to miss it. This happened before with his other individual work “Dawn”, which was deleted after some time, and re-uploaded, deleting all the views it had accumulated. This means one of two things, the company puts less interest and effort in Lee Know's work, or the company is purposefully hindering Lee Know's work. Either of the two is unacceptable by a company with so many resources and that claims to be a leader in the industry. This only shows a lack of professionalism and care. j) Dance leader - We know he is the dance leader, and K-stays and the members have talked a lot about how involved he is and how hard he works in that position, but the company refuses to include any footage of him doing it, and even cuts the parts where he gives his all. Just recently K-Stays were raving about how hard Lee Know worked as the dance leader and how much effort it took, One Label cut all of that footage from the Talker. It appears they don't want stays to look at anything he does, or to not give him recognition for anything.

The time from when the video was finished to when it was published was enough to arrange all the details, and the part deleted was so big, it was impossible to miss it. This happened before with his other individual work “Dawn”, which was deleted after some time, and re-uploaded, deleting all the views it had accumulated. This means one of two things, the company puts less interest and effort in Lee Know's work, or the company is purposefully hindering Lee Know's work. Either of the two is unacceptable by a company with so many resources and that claims to be a leader in the industry. This only shows a lack of professionalism and care. j) Dance leader - We know he is the dance leader, and K-stays and the members have talked a lot about how involved he is and how hard he works in that position, but the company refuses to include any footage of him doing it, and even cuts the parts where he gives his all. Just recently K-Stays were raving about how hard Lee Know worked as the dance leader and how much effort it took, One Label cut all of that footage from the Talker. It appears they don't want stays to look at anything he does, or to not give him recognition for anything.

The devil worshipping tribe that killed 66 million Orthodox Christians and Muslims after the jewish* Bolshevik revolution and lied** about gassings in KZ Camps*** so that the Allied forces and the Red Army together with people from the Eastern European nations killed 12 million Germans from 1945 - 1948 want it all. Even after millions of white Christian people have died fighting to get them a land in the Middle East. That is not enough. They want it all. They spit on Christians in Jerusalem. Here they spit on Christians in Berlin. By transferring wealth out of the US via their ownership of the Federal Reserve and control of US Congress with dual citizens members to Israel and wealthy members of the Khazarian mafiya they spit on all US citizens. They are truly a next level evil tribe. NO WONDER they have been thrown out of 109 countries 1030 times. Time to SEPARATE SYNAGOGUE and STATE and SEPARATE SYNAGOGUE and the FEDERAL RESERVE *95% of all bolshevik leaders were jews. 92% of all gulag commanders were jews, 50% of all NKVD generals were jews. **In the Talmud: They may lie to non-jews. Unlike our bible, where we may not lie, not even to a racist tribe that wants to kill us. As it also says in the Talmud: KILL ALL GENTILES, EVEN THE BEST of THEM. They even have a religious ceremony Kol Nidre where they promise to break all agreements, deals and promises to non-jews in the year ahead. And while we Christians ask for forgiveness for the sins we have committed, the jews get forgiveness in advance on their Yom Kippur for all crimes they will commit the following year ahead. ***In 1948 US Military Police Headquarters in Vienna published a document in German and English: "NO POISON GAS WAS FOUND IN ANY OF THE CAMPS" and "THE NEXT FORMER CAMP-INMATE - PARTICULARLY OF JEWISH DESCENT - WHO CLAIMS POISON GAS WAS USED WILL BE TAKEN TO COURT CHARGED WITH PERJURY". Then the killing, raping, thieving and torturing of the German people stopped for the most part, but it was so embarrassing to the Americans, the English, the French, the Czechs, the Poles and the Russians who all had assisted the jews in their insane satanic bloodlust. It was so embarrassing they had believed the thousands of jews who had lied about gassings, that they decided to do nothing about it. Just try to forget about it. And for 30 years it worked until 1978 when loxist Hollywood made a 4 part "docu"-serie about an imaginary German and imaginary jewish family and voila the holocaust story started. The word holocaust was hardly used ever prior to that fictional Hollywood production. And to this day we all suffer from the consequences of not jailing any of the perpetrators committing crimes against humanity on the German people from 1945 - 1948 as well as the indiscriminate deliberate targetting of German civilians during the war.

‼️An interesting interview with Lavrov Sergey Lavrov regularly gives interviews, and almost every one of them is an information operation designed to create an alternative reality. The March 26 interview with France Télévisions is no exception. Let's break it down and point out where there are lies and where there is manipulation. 1. Lavrov claims that Russia is supposedly defending international law while speaking in the "language of principles" regarding Iran. What's wrong: it's basic role reversal. Moscow is trying to speak from the position of a "guardian of the law," even though it is waging an aggressive war against Ukraine. In the case of Iran, Lavrov is also deliberately omitting half the picture: yes, the US withdrew from the nuclear deal, but Iran also faced non-proliferation concerns raised by the IAEA. Why it matters: It is an attempt to whitewash Russia's crimes through someone else's crisis and to present the aggressor (Russia) as the judge. 2. Russia does not provide Iran with intelligence; the coordinates of US bases are "already known to everyone." What's wrong: it's an evasive statement, not a complete refutation. There is no independently verified evidence of specific target marking data transfers in open sources, nor can there be, but the Kremlin's "we have nothing to do with it" claim has no basis for being automatically considered true. Why it matters: A typical Kremlin tactic - to deny anything that does not align with Russia's interests and to continue operating in a gray area. 3. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have denied the US access to their airspace, so Russia is right about the "American venture." What's wrong: The caution of Gulf countries is real, but Lavrov turns it into a crude anti-Western caricature. Regional politics are more complex than the Kremlin's narrative that "everyone understands everything, only the US is pushing the world into chaos." Why it matters: The Kremlin takes a partial truth and builds a convenient political myth around it. 4. Russia isn't waging wars for its own gain; it's the US that wants to control the energy sector, the Strait of Hormuz, and the markets. What's wrong: It's pure projection. It is Russia that has used energy as a weapon for years, and after 2022, turned petrodollars into fuel for war. Why it matters: Moscow accuses others of doing what it does systematically - this is one of the central techniques of its propaganda. 5. Since 2014, Ukraine has been ruled by a "Nazi regime" that came to power through a coup. What's wrong: After Yanukovych fled, Ukraine held snap presidential elections, which the OSCE recognized as meeting international standards and being competitive. The claim of a "Nazi regime" is a political label, not a description of reality. Why it matters: "Nazism" in Kremlin rhetoric is a tool for dehumanizing Ukraine and justifying the war. 6. The Russian language is allegedly completely banned in Ukraine. What's wrong: Ukraine has strengthened the role of the state language, but this does not mean a total ban on Russian. The law does not apply to private communication and does not criminalize the everyday use of the language. Why it matters: The Kremlin is exaggerating language policy to the level of a "linguistic apocalypse" to sell the war as a supposed humanitarian mission. 7. Ukraine is allegedly at war with Orthodoxy and has "banned the canonical church." What's wrong: This is not about "banning a faith," but about a law regarding religious organizations linked to the Russian Orthodox Church. Even criticism from human rights activists does not support the Kremlin's claim of "persecution of Orthodoxy." Why it matters: Moscow is using the language of religious protection to cover up its network of influence in Ukraine. 8. The West allegedly cynically exploited the Minsk agreements as a respite to arm Ukraine. What's wrong: The Minsk process was collapsing because of the Kremlin's desire to use the agreements to establish de facto control over Ukraine, not because of some "cunning plot" by Paris and Berlin. Why it matters: The Kremlin is rewriting history retroactively to portray its own aggression as a supposedly forced response to "universal betrayal." 9. Russia does not attack civilians; its targets are solely facilities associated with the AFU. What's wrong: It's an outright lie. For years, the UN and independent sources have documented systematic Russian strikes on cities, residential areas, energy facilities, and civilian infrastructure. Why it matters: This is no longer just propaganda, but a cynical denial of documented terror against civilians. 10. The Bucha massacre is allegedly "not proven": there are no names, no evidence, and journalists haven't shown anything. What's wrong: This is one of the most mendacious claims. There are UN documents, testimonies, criminal investigations, identified suspects, and evidence of executions and killings of civilians. Why it matters: The Kremlin is not trying to refute the crime, but to wear down the audience with doubt and turn mass murder into "one of the versions." 11. Russia wants peace and negotiations. What's wrong: In the Kremlin's vocabulary, "peace" does not mean an end to aggression, but rather acceptance of its results. "Realities on the ground" means occupation; "root causes" means demanding recognition of Russia's right to punish neighbors for their political choices. Why it matters: Lavrov isn't offering peace. He's dressing up surrender in softer language. 12. Europe is supposedly dragging out the war, while Russia is looking for a solution. What's wrong: Russia started this war itself. European aid to Ukraine is a response to the aggression, not its cause. Why it matters: This is the main inversion of Kremlin logic - to make the audience forget who attacked first and shift the discussion from aggression to a "conflict that has dragged on too long." 13. RT and Sputnik are victims of censorship, and France has no right to speak about freedom of speech. What's wrong: RT and Sputnik were banned not as "ordinary media," but as state-run tools of disinformation. Their role as propaganda channels has been publicly acknowledged both in the EU and in France. Why it matters: The Kremlin wants to portray the defense of democracies against malicious information operations as a restriction of free speech. 14. France and Europe have made Russia an enemy; Moscow is merely reacting. What's wrong: The cause of the rift is not "Russophobia," but Russia's invasion, war crimes, blackmail, and influence operations against Europe. Why it matters: The Kremlin is systematically trying to reverse the cause-and-effect relationship: it is not that "Russia destroyed relations," but that "the West rejected Russia." 15. Individual real episodes - the tanker, incidents in France, disputes among allies - allegedly prove Western hypocrisy and justify Russia. What's wrong: Lavrov takes a real but local fact and uses it as a smokescreen. None of these incidents erases Russia's crimes or the very fact of its aggression. Why it matters: This is a favorite Kremlin method - using others' difficulties and whataboutism to cover up its own crimes.
