I got the true ending in Saros and here is my review: -Incredibly addictive gameplay, makes you think “just one more run,” you really don’t want to stop -Visuals are amazing, runs great on PS5 Pro -Awesome DualSense features -Art direction is something special, mix of HR Giger and Dune with overwhelming, striking imagery -Brilliant sound design and a soundtrack that constantly drives you forward -Great level design, exactly the right mix of exploration, combat, and platforming sections -Facial animations are a clear step forward -Fantastic voice acting -Rewarding upgrade system, every run actually makes you stronger -Unbelievable boss fights, not only visually impressive but extremely demanding, beating them feels like pure dopamine -Shield mechanic to deflect enemy projectiles is great -I wouldn’t say it’s easier than Returnal, but rather more accessible, with difficulty that can be adjusted up or down through modifiers -WTF story moments -Great accessibility features (colour blindness, controller remapping and more) -The game works great for short play sessions -Playtime of around 15–20 hours -Interesting narrative, but Returnal’s story had a stronger impact on me -Enemy and weapon variety could be better -Not a fan of 30 FPS cutscenes -Conversations could be much more dynamic, with characters often just standing completely still SAROS is a true PS5 gem, driven by incredibly well-crafted and highly addictive gameplay. Its visual style and sound design rank among the very best the industry has to offer. While it may not be perfect in every aspect, the overall experience is so compelling that it hardly matters. If you’re looking for a game that completely pulls you in and doesn’t let go until after the credits roll, this is exactly what you’re looking for. My verdict: 9/10 #SAROS Code provided by PlayStation

I went through Matt Walsh’s tweets about Vance since he became the VP nominee, and then compared them with just a handful of Walsh’s recent tweets about Trump. 🔹️Here are a few things Walsh has said about Trump lately: - Are you seriously not bored by a Trump speech at this point? - It’s been 10 years of basically the same speech. - Trump just talking about himself for 90 minutes. - Ridiculous and sad. - America’s birthday should not be about Trump. - He isn’t the star. The country is. 🔹️And here is a list of the words and phrases Walsh has used to describe and praise Vance: - only good choice - formidable political talent - great choice - great speech - by far the best VP pick of my lifetime - not even remotely close - one of the best Republicans in the country - possibly the very best - masterful - very, very good at this - the best political debate performance we’ve ever seen - calm - cool - well spoken - eloquent - brilliant - masterful performance - clearly the superior debater - typically excellent - handled it brilliantly - the most conservative guy we’ve had in the White House in decades BY FAR - effective communicator - smart - rock solid on the issues - everything that conservatives have said they’ve wanted - phenomenal - knocked it out of the park - best speech of the weekend - no contest - exactly the right tone - perfectly articulated - great stuff - incredibly talented - very gifted communicator These people are a network. Their mission is to make Vance president in 2028. They are not independent, critical thinkers evaluating each politician and what they say on its own merits. They are there to make Vance president, and they praise him religiously, no matter how dumb or wrong the things he says or does are. They want to use Trump’s legacy to shield Vance from criticism and carry him into the presidency, while simultaneously undermining Trump himself.

🚨This is an EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT‼️ CIA MKULTRA whistleblower James Martinez blows the lid off what he believes is the REAL ENDGAME. 📽️👇🏼 Every moment of this interview is packed with urgent commentary and insights that viewers of all backgrounds will find thought-provoking, from those who follow these topics closely to those who are encountering them for the first time. This interview was posted in July 2025 and was most likely drowned out by the government’s announcement that there were “no Epstein files,” a story that immediately dominated the news cycle and buried almost everything else. It is unfortunate, because the topics discussed here raise questions that will shape the future far more than the daily noise cycle ever will. One of the most striking concerns Martinez raises involves transhumanism and how emerging technologies will influence the way society, institutions, and especially the legal system will define what it means to be human. As brain computer interfaces, neural implants, and engineered biological changes continue to advance, these developments could push humanity into a new category where the natural and the synthetic are blended. And once a person is no longer classified as fully human, the rights that depend on that definition could become null and void. In a future where human identity is legally redefined, the protections we take for granted today may no longer exist in the form we understand them now. As I listened to him, I was immediately reminded of the 2013 Supreme Court case Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics. In my own research back in 2021, I noted that the ruling states that natural human DNA cannot be patented because it is a product of nature, but synthetically created DNA, known as complementary DNA or cDNA, can be. The distinction between what is considered natural and what is considered engineered raises serious questions about how future biological or technological modifications could be interpreted within the legal system. Martinez suggests that transhumanism is the true battleground and that many stories capturing public attention only serve as distractions from deeper structural changes with far greater consequences. Whether viewers agree with him or approach these topics with skepticism, the questions he raises deserve careful consideration. @chrissyvanwijk, your newly released film “The Human Antenna: Can We Reverse the Transhumanist Agenda” explores these themes beautifully and it is excellent! 🤩 Listening to Martinez made me think of how powerful it would be to see a conversation between him and David Icke, given that David has been warning for years that transhumanism is the endgame. Bringing their perspectives together would be extraordinary and I truly believe their exchange could offer something profoundly important. For anyone who has not yet seen your film, it is available here: If you would like to connect with him or explore more of his work, James’s handle is James Martinez.

Alright, beautiful people. It's time to cheer ourselves up in this dark time and experience the beauty of Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital. This will remind us and show you what is at stake in this war - and what it is that we're trying so hard to save from the blood-stained jaws of fascist Putin Russia. I'm inviting you to take a walk through the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (or the Kyiv Lavra of the Caves), one of the most beautiful places in Kyiv and the most significant holy place in Eastern Slavic Orthodox Christianity. It's really as important as, for instance, St. Peter's Basicila to Italy or Notre Dame de Paris to France -- one can't imagine Kyiv without the Lavra, and I'm sure you couldn't help but have seen those silhouettes. So, about 1,000 years ago, Kyiv was living its golden age as the center of a large medieval kingdom of Rus under Prince Yaroslav the Wise—very possibly the greatest ruler of Kyiv ever. The official residence of the rulers of Kyiv Rus was located in the town of Berestove outside Kyiv (it's now where Kyiv's Park of Eternal Glory is). The Berestove priest Illarion sought comfort and solitude, so he dug a lonesome cave in the hills at the Dnipro riverside, where he could spend his time alone in prayers. That happened around 1051 A.D. That guy soon became the head of the Kyiv Church and left, but more hermits followed his suit and established their shelters in those caves. Over many years, they burrowed long mazes of catacombs and established churches and monastic cells. The monastery gradually became a grandiose Lavra, a magnificent center of religious and cultural life, the greatest in this corner of human civilization. As early as 1073 A.D., the Cathedral of the Dormition (or the 'Great Church') was established (and you can see the modern iteration of it, the magnificent white cathedral bearing images of the saints on its walls. Just like Kyiv, the Lavra was ruined and resurrected from ashes several times over its 1,000-year history. Mongolians seized and desolated Kyiv in 1240, and the Lavra was devastated so hard that it spent well over a century in empty ruins. Yet, it would always rise again in all of its glory. During WWII, the Great Church was blown up just as many other iconic locations of Kyiv, such as Kherschatyk Street (in my opinion, what happened was that the Soviets planted bombs at the Lavra upon their withdrawal from the city in 1941 and failed to detonate them on time; and Nazis took out the treasures of the Lavra and got rid of the Soviet bombs by blowing up the cathedral. Like many other significant treasures of Kyiv, the Great Church of the Lavra was resurrected by independent Ukraine by the 2000s. The Lavra is indeed a city within a city—I'm only showing you a tiny part of it that is popular with tourists. Unfortunately, the ancient monastery caves have been closed to visitors for over a year. Technically, the Lavra is a giant museum with many art exhibitions, collections of historical artifacts, and recreation zones for anyone. Right now, for instance, the Lavra Historical Museum exhibits ancient Scthyntian gold from Crimea that was recently returned to Ukraine. At the Lavra, you can easily find the resting places of many historical figures of the past, such as the one of Kostiantyn Ostrozky, the legendary ultra-rich magnate of the 15th and 16th centuries and the Lavra's lavish sponsor, or Petr Stolypin, the Russian imperial prime minister who was assassinated at the Kyiv Opera House in 1911. Of course, the Lavra is about the iconic Great Bell Tower, one of Kyiv's most legendary landmarks. The tower is 96 meters high and can be seen from around 30 kilometers away from the Lavra. It takes over 370 stairs to reach the tower's top -- but I'm telling you, it's 100% worth it as the Great Bell Tower shows you a truly stunning view of Kyiv, especially when the weather is fine. Fucking legend. For centuries, until recently, the Lavra was under complete control by the Russian Orthodox Church, which is fundamentally loyal to Russia. In 2023, amid the war against Russia, Kyiv authorities and the Zelensky administration tried (and failed) to terminate the Moscow clergy's legal presence at the Lavra in 2023. Currently, the Russian church and its monks remain in control of the so-called Lower Lavra. In the Upper Lavra, which has most of the iconic places and locations, the recently re-established Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the de-facto successor of the old original Christian church of the Kyiv Rus, now has its divine service again. Welcome to the beautiful ancient Kyiv.

#FirstItsMe #TAEMIN isn't considered the best dancer in Kpop simply because he executes choreography well or has strong technique. Many idols are technically excellent. What separates Taemin is the way he understands movement. He doesn't approach dance as a series of steps to perform, but as a language he speaks fluently. When he dances, it feels instinctive, as if the movement is coming from inside him rather than being placed on top of his body There's no visible effort, no sense of calculation between motions, everything flows as one continuous emotional and physical expression. What makes this even more powerful is his control over detail. Taemin pays attention to the smallest elements: the tension in his fingers, the direction of his gaze, the way his weight shifts, the timing of his breath. These micro movements give his dancing depth and realism, turning choreography into something alive rather than mechanical. He also has extraordinary body independence, meaning different parts of his body can move with completely different qualities at the same time This kind of control is extremely rare, even among top dancers. Taemin doesn't layer emotions on top of choreography as an added performance tool, he generates emotion through movement itself. You don't need lyrics or facial exaggeration to understand what he's expressing, because his body already tells the story. Desire, vulnerability, confidence, pain, all of it is communicated through weight, texture, and timing. That's why watching him feels less like watching someone dance and more like watching someone become the music Another reason he stands apart from others is his fluidity. Taemin moves effortlessly between softness and sharpness, masculinity and femininity, delicacy and power, without treating any of these qualities as opposites. This balance gives his dancing a unique tension and beauty that very few performers can achieve His musicality is also on another level. Taemin doesn't only hit the main beats, he responds to background sounds, subtle rhythms, and the spaces between notes. He hears music in layers, and his body reflects those layers. This is why his performances feel rich and dimensional instead of flat Many idols are outstanding dancers in specific areas, some excel in power, others in speed, others in acrobatics or freestyle. Taemin's greatness comes from the fact that he combines technique, musicality, emotional intelligence, originality, and identity at the same time. When you watch him, you don't think of other dancers he resembles. You think, "This is Taemin." Having a recognizable movement signature is the highest level of artistry. That's why Taemin isn't just one of the best dancers in Kpop. He's a true dance artist who happens to exist within K-pop, and that's what makes him unmatched. P.S.: I wanted to share the message I posted on the fanbase's Instagram here, so thank you so much for reading if you did it. Idk if I expressed myself well, but it's my opinion ~ And let's continue to support Taemin a lot. He's a great artist who puts a lot of effort into his work, so it's perfectly fine that he acknowledges it too 🔗

Warren Buffett on why having less money is actually one of the biggest edges in investing: Buffett is asked about his best investing periods. His answer reveals something most people miss about scale and returns. "My best period was right after I met Ben Graham in early 1951. From the end of 1950 through the next 10 years, returns averaged about 50% a year... but I was working with a tiny tiny tiny amount of money." He explains his process back then: "I went through the pages of the manuals page by page. I probably went through 20,000 pages in the Moody's industrial, transportation, banks and finance manuals. And I did it twice. I actually looked at every business." The result? He'd find one or two businesses he could put $10,000 or $15,000 into that were "ridiculously cheap." But as his capital grew, the universe of opportunities shrank dramatically: "As soon as you start getting the money up into the millions, many millions, the curve on expectable results falls off just dramatically." His conclusion is striking: "If you're working with a small sum of money and you're really interested in the business and willing to do the work, there's no question in my mind. You will find some things that promise very large returns compared to what we will be able to deliver with large sums of money." Charlie Munger adds his own framing: "A brilliant man who can't get any money from other people and is working with a very small sum probably should work in very obscure stocks searching out unusual mispriced opportunities." But Buffett notes that most smart people on Wall Street don't take this path. They chase a different game entirely: "Most smart people in Wall Street figure that they can make a lot more money, a lot easier, by getting an override on other people's money... the monetization of hope and greed is a way to make a huge amount of money." He shares a recent example. A friend with no real investing track record called him about starting a $125 million hedge fund. "If you looked at this fellow's schedule D on his 1040 for the last 20 years, you'd think he ought to be mowing lawns. But he may get his 125 million." Buffett's final observation cuts deep: "The biggest money made in Wall Street in recent years has not been made by great performance, but has been made by great promotion."

Why the "Seen You Before" scene in *Sabrina* (1954) still creates attraction after many decades? If we only look at the content level, people might think the appeal of the "Seen You Before" scene lies in Sabrina's change after two years living in Paris. She is no longer the shy girl who silently stood outside the Larrabee family's parties, but has become a confident, elegant, and captivating woman. Therefore, the scene is often viewed as a story about growth, about love, or about a person's transformation. However, that is only what the film tells, not what makes the scene still have enduring appeal after many decades. Those meanings are the result the film wants the audience to realize, while the aesthetic experience is formed from the very way the film leads the audience to that realization. What Billy Wilder builds is not only Sabrina's change, but also the process for the audience to gradually recognize that change. Right from the beginning of the film, Sabrina is placed in a very clear position. She is the chauffeur's daughter, living on the edge of the wealthy world of the Larrabee family. The camera often places her at a distance, observing David from afar or standing outside the lavish parties. Those choices of composition, distance, and point of view not only introduce the character but also gradually form in the audience a stable cognitive model: Sabrina is the "girl next door" who always looks at that world from the outside. Two years in Paris not only changed Sabrina. More importantly, the entire first part of the film has quietly prepared for the change in the very way the audience sees her. What is noteworthy is that the film does not construct that change as a denial of the past. Sabrina does not become a different person, nor does she cut herself off from her origins. She is still the chauffeur's daughter, but two years living in a cultural and artistic environment in Paris have helped her inherent qualities be nurtured by knowledge, self-discipline, and a way of living. Therefore, what the audience witnesses is not a "transformation" of a rebellious nature, but a process of perfection. The character still retains her own essence, but reaches a higher level of maturity and refinement. It is this continuous development that makes the change natural and believable, while creating a feeling of harmony rather than rupture. In the "Seen You Before" scene, David sees Sabrina but does not recognize her immediately. What is noteworthy is that the audience also goes through almost the same process. We know that woman is Sabrina, but the way the film organizes the costume, lighting, editing rhythm, gait, and especially Audrey Hepburn's restrained performance makes the familiar image from before no longer sufficient to explain the person standing in front of us. The audience is forced to readjust their perception. Therefore, this is not simply a "transformation" scene, but a process of reorganizing the way of seeing. The film also does not create attraction by displaying beauty or overwhelming effects. The elegant costume, gentle movements, eyes, smile, and the way Audrey Hepburn restrains every gesture all aim to express a calm and graceful feminine beauty. It is this restraint that creates long-lasting appeal. The form does not aim for immediate stimulation but reveals the character's inner qualities. Beauty therefore does not separate from personality, but becomes the natural expression of that personality. Billy Wilder does not let David recognize Sabrina immediately. He deliberately creates a short delay between the feeling of familiarity and confirmation. David feels he has met this woman before and tries to search his memory, while Sabrina understands that he still has not recognized her. The audience is simultaneously aware of both states. It is this delay that creates a very subtle tension. It is not the tension of conflict or danger, but the mismatch between two images coexisting in perception: Sabrina of memory and Sabrina of the present. The moment David finally recognizes Sabrina not only resolves the character's surprise but also completes the cognitive process that the audience has gone through together. The two previously separate images now merge into one. The feeling of completeness therefore does not stem simply from Audrey Hepburn appearing with striking beauty or from David's surprised reaction, but from a cognitive structure that was previously incomplete finally reaching unity. If we stop here, we can say the scene succeeds because it makes the audience experience the change together with the character. However, the root of the aesthetic experience lies even deeper. What Billy Wilder really organizes is not only the development of the story but the entire cognitive process. In that process, images, performance, dialogue, editing rhythm, actors' movements, music, and silences do not function as separate elements. Each element performs its own function, but all are directed toward the same goal: to guide the audience to adjust their perception according to the exact rhythm the film has arranged. Precisely because each component performs its proper function and all head toward a common purpose, the scene achieves a sense of balance and harmony. The value of the scene does not lie in a beautiful image, a line of dialogue, or an individual surprise, but in the unity of the entire structure. Each detail only truly realizes its meaning when placed in relationship with the whole, and it is this coordination that leads the audience step by step to the final realization. This principle also appears in human life itself. A balanced life is not a life without change, but a life in which changes still head toward a unified purpose. Work, family, study, or relationships can develop at different rhythms, but when each aspect finds its proper place, people will feel harmony. The value of life therefore does not lie in individual successes, but in the way all contribute to creating a meaningful whole. The structure of the scene also operates according to this principle. Each component of cinematic language contributes to a common process, and only when they coordinate with one another do they form a complete whole. It is this coordination that guides the audience to gradually adjust their perception. The audience does not merely observe Sabrina's change from the outside, but directly participates in the process of recognizing that change. What is interesting is that the attraction between David and Sabrina is also built according to the same logic. David is not drawn only by Sabrina's appearance. What appears first is the feeling of familiarity, as if he had known this woman before but could not name the memory. Only when the recognition process gradually completes does affection have a basis to develop. The film therefore does not construct love as an immediate reaction to external beauty, but as the result of a process of recognizing the true person gradually emerging behind the old images. Thus, what the character realizes, the audience also gradually realizes; what rhythm the character changes in, the audience's perception also moves in the same rhythm. The character's cognitive process and the audience's reception process gradually merge into one. That is the aesthetic mechanism of the scene. Its excellence does not lie in a line of dialogue, a surprise, or an individual beautiful image, but in the way the entire cinematic structure is organized into a unified process. When that process moves in correspondence with the way the audience's perception moves, the audience no longer stands outside to observe the work but becomes the one directly experiencing its process of discovery. The moment David recognizes Sabrina is also the moment the audience completes their own perception, and it is this completion that creates the feeling of wholeness we call the aesthetic experience. Therefore, the enduring appeal of the "Seen You Before" scene does not lie first in the love story or Sabrina's growth. Those are the meanings the scene conveys. The deeper foundation lies in the fact that Billy Wilder has organized the entire cinematic structure into a unified cognitive process, in which every component of cinematic language coordinates to guide the way the audience feels and discovers the character. Growth is built as a process of perfection rather than denial of the past; beauty is expressed through the harmony between form and inner qualities; love is formed from recognition and admiration rather than from immediate impression. All these elements converge in a unified cinematic structure, making the audience not only follow the story but also directly experience their own process of discovery. That is also why the "Seen You Before" scene still retains its vitality through many generations of audiences.

The Princess of Wales's £1,340 gorgeous Trouser suit from Victoria Beckham did not just make wave; It sold Out within 24 hours, in every colour and sizes🔥🤩👌 VB restocked but even that sold out. It is also sold out in most stores still holding the suit. Truly that suit was magnificent on her, the tailoring incredible😍 This is the Incredible influence of Catherine known as "The Kate Effect". Every designer knows, If Catherine is wearing it, it is selling out within 24 hours no matter the price; and this is exactly what Harriet Walker, fashion editor for the Times covered in her brilliant article. She wrote: "Her fashion choices boost the economy by £1 billion a year. Yesterday’s look was particularly well picked. Then again, over the almost two decades I have been a fashion journalist, one name has dominated my beat more than any other. How long did I have to wait yesterday for the woman whose influence on the British retail economy is known as “the Kate effect”? Reader, she arrived 15 minutes early. You can’t buy that sort of class."🤩👌 "There is a veritable Kate economy and, in this fiscal microclimate at least, Britain is booming.[...] Whether wearing Burberry, McQueen, Reiss or Whistles (which even named the blouse she wore soon after her engagement in homage), the Princess of Wales is British fashion’s most patriotic shopper and successful export — especially important given the Brexit red tape and potential tariffs the industry is grappling with."🔥 An insider at a luxury label the princess has worn in the past chimed in: "Everything she wears sells out regardless of the price, sometimes before the pictures are even on the internet. I’ve never seen it with anyone else"😍 Harriet then proceeds to list examples of the "Kate effect" impact on the economy: • In 2021 copycat sales of the Princess of Wales’s wardrobe were found to have boosted the British fashion industry by about £1 billion each year since her engagement to Prince William in 2010."🔥 • The princess’s 2011 McQueen wedding dress increased sales at the label by almost a third that year to £42 million, and entered the bridal design pantheon alongside Grace Kelly’s🔥 • Meanwhile, her appearance at the Platinum Jubilee in a yellow Emilia Wickstead coat was estimated to be worth £3.8 million to the brand.👌 • When she wore the British shoe brand Camilla Elphick’s £270 Alicia pumps to a polo match in 2022, not only did they sell out but one client in Dubai bought them in every colour available🤭 •When the princess teamed the brand’s £280 Lucia slingbacks in tan with a purple dress from the British label Safiyaa to last year’s Wimbledon men’s final, she generated £3.6 million in “media exposure” an industry way of quantifying publicity."👌 All this to say that EACH YEAR, Princess Catherine's fashion boost the UK economy by £1 Billion. That is not including the Money she makes to photographers, magazines and papers selling her pictures. When you understand how many millions of Pound Catherine generates just by appearing, you understand why the press went bonkers in 2024 and viciously attacked Prince William for shielding her from the spotlight. You also understand why they get so upset that she rewears her clothes: A lot of people lose a LOT of Money when they do not see Catherine or when she rewears the same clothes😏 📹Hello Mag

Review: The Blood of Dawnwalker is a fantastic action RPG with a dense, reactive open world that rewards your choices like few other games do. The Witcher 3 DNA is clear. But it also learns some key lessons and distinguishes itself in many ways as you progress through the game. Story & World: The first 20 minutes immediately establish the stakes. Coen has exactly 30 days and 30 nights to rescue his family from Brencis. Following the prologue, it drops you straight into a dark fantasy world, and from then on, every decision is yours to make. The world of Vale Sangora is filled with religious themes that have been corrupted by Brencis and his loyalists. Villagers are required to give blood sacrifices at the weekly Mass and the priests speak of Brencis like a gift from the gods. The massive (and stunning) cathedral in Svartrau is filled with portraits and stained glass windows that depict hellish scenes instead of holy ones. All of this perfectly sets the tone, and adds a ton of aura and mystique to the world. Time System: The time system is brilliant. Each day and night is broken into 8 time segments. Minor quests and activities cost 1 time segment, while major side quests can cost 3 or more. This actively forces you to decide which activities are worth prioritizing. That also goes for the skill tree. Not only does learning a new skill require skill points, but many of them require you to find a manual first. These can be earned in various ways from quests, to combat and treasure, and buying them from shops. But learning new skills often requires you to invest time as well. Once again, this forces you to decide which skills are actually worth focusing on. Upgrading 3 or 4 skills can wipe out half your night. It may sound punishing, but I actually think it's balanced well. I took down Brencis's three captains (Ambrus, Xanthe, and Bakir), cleared several major faction quests, and unlocked plenty of new skills, and still had 14 days leftover for open world exploration and clearing even more side quests. Gameplay: Gameplay completely changes based on the time of day. At night, Vampire form unlocks entirely new traversal options like the Shadowstep and Clawride to navigate rooftops. During the day, Coen can visit shops and interact with NPCs roaming the streets. This adds a lot of depth and variety to the world, and requires different approaches based on the time of day. Combat: Combat was actually better than I expected. The directional combat forces you to not only learn enemy attack patterns, but also react to the direction. It feels MUCH better in practice than it does from watching gameplay. There's also an ability wheel, that you can assign to shortcuts on the D-Pad (more on that later). All of this results in a combat system that was surprisingly engaging, and I would argue is actually better than W3's combat. Human form can be a lot more punishing due to your limited healing. In human form, food is significantly nerfed when you're in combat. Outside of a combat, a single apple will fully heal you over the course of 50 seconds. But this effect is severely limited during combat. The best way to heal mid-combat is by crafting healing potions from the Crafting menu. These potions require several resources though, which can be a lot harder to come by compared to random food items. This is a BIG lesson I think they learned from The Witcher 3. In Witcher 3, you could pretty much spam food items and heal infinitely by pressing a single button. In Dawnwalker, healing items are harder to come by, so you really have to make that one health bar count. Vampire form is a lot more forgiving though, and is overall stronger (as Coen himself admits). You can drain enemy health mid-combat, and there are simply more healing options overall. The trade-off for this is that drinking blood increases your Corruption meter. Your claws also deal more damage, and are snappier overall. Skill Tree: The skill tree is split into three major categories - Witchcraft, Swordmastery, and Vampirism. I focused mainly on Swordmastery and Vampirism. Witchcraft is only available in human form, and requires a lot more investment early on. Witchcraft abilities also come with the trade-off of sacrificing your health every time you use an ability. This can be mitigated with enough skill point and time investment, but I found the other two to be better for the early to mid game, especially since health comes at a premium in human form. Swordmastery abilities can be used either day or night and have a good variety of skills. Vampire skills can only be used at night, and focus on draining enemy health, and dealing bleed damage over time. Story: The story is actually quite good. Technically there's only one main quest - kill Brencis. Everything else is completely optional. But going straight to Brencis will result in you facing him severely underleveled and ill-equipped for the challenge. IMO there's a priority list of what quests you should focus on. Your first priority should be taking out the three captains Ambrus, Xanthe, and Bakir. Then, complete the major side quests chains related to various factions in the game. There's a faction quest featuring a rebel army called the Manumits, who are attempting to form a people's uprising against Brencis. There's another featuring Lacra, a fellow vrakhiri that's out to kill Brencis for her own reasons. Then there's one for Anca, the herbalist from your village, and a clear love interest that unlocks more knowledge on religion and Witchcraft in the game. These faction quests are easily some of the best in the game. Lacra's storyline unlocked a lot more backstory on Brencis and on the vampires themselves. The Manumit storyline explains how the citizens are organizing to fight back against Brencis. Completing these storylines not only gives you great backstory, but could also potentially unlock them as allies when you ultimately face Brencis. The catch is that you may not have enough time to do all of them in one playthrough - so I would suggest focusing on the ones that you find the most interesting first. Branching Paths: Narratively, the amount of branching paths and outcomes is truly staggering. The game remembers EVERY choice you make, which can often have side effects several hours later. Saving a random villager can unlock a favorable outcome much later in the game. A peaceful choice with an Uriashi woman in the city of Svartrau resulted in her village's leader on the other side of the map treating me as an ally, instead of attacking on sight. I would LOVE to know how many different endings and outcomes there are in this game, because every small decision you make has a lasting effect on the game world. Voice Acting: The voice acting is also top-tier across the board. I was floored by some of the voice performances from even the most random characters. Facial animations can be a little inconsistent, but the strong voice acting definitely makes up for it. Performance: As for performance, the game can be pretty heavy at 4K, but is surprisingly polished on day one. I encountered very few bugs, if any. The lighting, art direction, and thick foliage look stunning but I did struggle to maintain a consistent 4K 60 even at above the recommended specs. It was fine after lowering some settings though and 1440p is a lot more forgiving. Summary: ✅ Excellent story and voice acting ✅ Meaningful choices and branching paths ✅ Time management system ✅ Day/night mechanics ✅ Directional combat system ✅ Worldbuilding ✅ Visuals ❌ Some performance hiccups at 4K ❌ 30 FPS cutscenes ❌ Some targeting issues ❌ Can't flee or escape combat ❌ Inconsistent facial animations ❌ Map screen bug (known issue) Blood of Dawnwalker isn't just about clearing map markers. It makes you weigh the cost of every decision you make - your time, your health, and even your morals. The limited time to save your family is always in the back of your mind, resulting in an incredibly engaging RPG that requires you to fight for every minute. Most of my cons are minor technical issues that can easily be fixed with a day one patch. Rebel Wolves have done a fantastic job, and to me, this is a very strong candidate for RPG of the year. Final Score: 9/10 Playtime: 40 hours Platform: Steam Thanks to Bandai Namco for providing a review copy. #TheBloodofDawnwalker #Dawnwalker Dawnwalker

🚨🎥 Full post-match interview with Martin Odegaard and Ezri Konsa after Arsenal won against Chelsea ! 🎙️ Presenter (to Konsa): “You went a goal down, but to be fair, the team’s reaction was exceptional?” 🗣️ Ezri Konsa: “Yeah, that’s football. These things happen all the time, and the most important thing is how you react and respond. As you know, we put a lot of emphasis on keeping clean sheets here, so conceding was disappointing. But like I said, our reaction was brilliant, and ultimately, the most important thing is getting the three points.” 🎙️ Presenter (to Odegaard): “There was no let-up from the team after going behind, Martin. Was that simply a reaction to the circumstances of the game, or are we seeing that champions’ mentality from last season adding another dimension to what you’re doing?” 🗣️ Martin Odegaard: “That’s our mentality. We always want to keep fighting, and we’ve shown that time and time again. Going a goal down early is obviously not ideal, but the reaction was top-class, as you said. I think we played really well in the first half and could have scored more. We kept going in the second half until we finally got our reward. It was a really, really good performance.” 🎙️ Presenter: “There was a lot of talk before the game about the strength of their attack. If you were in your position, or Saka’s or Havertz’s, you might have felt a little provoked by that. Did you feel you had something to prove today?” 🗣️ Martin Odegaard: “No, not really. To be honest, I didn’t really follow what was being said before the game. But I think we showed our quality today, both with the ball and without it, and the result clearly reflects that.” 🎙️ Presenter: “That’s three goals for you already this season. How much did you enjoy that goal and that almost telepathic understanding between you and Kai Havertz? Is that something you work on?” 🗣️ Martin Odegaard: “Kai is a very intelligent player. He moves really well and attracts the defenders’ attention. When he makes that run in behind, I make my move from deep and I always seem to find myself in space. It was a great goal, and I’m really happy with it.” 🎙️ Presenter: “Why are you smiling like that?” 🗣️ Ezri Konsa (laughing): “I’m always smiling. I’m just a happy person, literally!” 😂 🎙️ Presenter: “To be fair, Martin scored the winning goal, but I don’t think his goal was the moment that got the biggest cheer today. What about that huge challenge on your former teammate? When you start at a new club, you’re looking for a moment like that, aren’t you?” 🗣️ Ezri Konsa: “Yeah, definitely. That moment really got the fans going. It’s one of those challenges where, if you get the timing wrong, it can be disastrous, but when you get it right, the feeling is always amazing. In the second half, we could have controlled the game a bit more, but like Martin said, we were excellent defensively and offensively, created chances, and on another day we could have scored three or four goals.” 🎙️ Presenter: “At what point, after Morgan Rogers’ touch, did you feel you could win the ball from him?” 🗣️ Ezri Konsa: “I felt his first touch was slightly heavy, and I was a bit unsure and hesitant. But I told myself, ‘If I’m going to make the challenge, I’m going all in.’ And that’s exactly what I did!” 🎙️ Presenter: “You certainly did go all in! And now, can you hand over this award with the same amount of energy? The Player of the Match award goes to Martin Odegaard.” 🗣️ Martin Odegaard (laughing as he receives the award): “Yeah, I’ll definitely take that! Thank you!” 🏆😂

The Final Whistle

The Royal High Courts are certainly a place of grandeur and perhaps some are intimidated by the surroundings. Well that impressive 19th century Gothic architecture is a sight to behold but the Judges less so. I’ve seen too many judges in the UK and Pakistan and by God, they leave a lot to be desired. Especially when one comes across McGowan the Mediocre. What should have been a straightforward win has turned into a cheating exercise by the very judiciary meant to uphold justice in this country. Why do I say straightforward? Let’s recap. After 3-4 failed complaints to the GMC, the Jewish lobbies upped the ante. First came my loss of contract at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust where I was doing some clinics. No investigation. Just blocked from the email and can’t address patient queries. Then started the defamation in the press – articles in the Jewish News, Jewish Chronicle and Telegraph followed by loss of contract with Medinet with whom I’d worked since 2018 intermittently and had glowing reviews. The GMC now opens an investigation – given the pressure from Wes Streeting, elected in July 2024. They wanted an Interim Orders Tribunal (IOT) to decide if any sanction should be imposed whilst I was being “investigated”. I had a trip abroad for my brother’s assassination case and I had clinics. Patients who had waited 12-18 months to see a Neurologist. The GMC and MPTS didn’t care. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) is allegedly an independent body to the GMC and runs the IOT panels. They would not move the IOT by 11 working days as the GMC had refused (so much for independence!) – instead of 20th December I had suggested 13th January 2025. Recall this was over the Christmas period – people going on holidays and yet I was expected to get legal advice when I was in clinic from 8am – 6pm. I told them patients came first – I stand by that. Hurt Jewish feelings aren’t urgent and they don’t come before my patient care. I requested deferment by 11 working days, told them I would defend every single tweet and indeed, looked forward to it. This was all via email. Multiple emails. All ignored – including the one letter that contained my “defences”. They would not budge – the Jewish lobbies were demanding action and the GMC wasn’t going to risk their ire again. Wes Streeting was breathing down their necks. On 20th December 2024, I saw my Neurology patients and on 23rdDecember, I found out that I’d been suspended for 18 months. No other doctor had an 18-month suspension or got one since – in their absence. My remaining clinics in December and January all cancelled. Some patients were cancelled as they were making their way to my clinic. I requested the transcript of the IOT hearing – the GMC had been demanding conditions on my license on public interest grounds yet 3 batty women decided I should be suspended for 18 months for public interest and patient protection! Later, the barrister for the indemnity body stated he “couldn’t get purchase on” how they came to that decision. In any case, after being misled by my indemnity body – who suggested that I first ask for an early review, delayed asking for it and then the GMC refused. They were refusing to allow me to be heard after claiming I wouldn’t attend. The indemnity body then reneged on the agreed High Court action. The GMC even send me the Rule 7 letter – the final “allegations” against me on 5 February 2025 which they then updated in March. Ordinarily this takes about 9 months to send – in my case, they managed to do it within 6 weeks! Yet one of the reasons they claimed I needed to be suspended for 18 months was because of the lengthy investigation…. I had to reply by 5 May 2025 which I did via a191-page response. The GMC usually respond within 3-4 weeks. As of 21 January 2026, I have yet to hear from them. I then took matters into my own hand. Let down by cowardly lawyers except one (Yasmin), I filed a High Court application under Section 41 A(10) of the Medical Act 1983 to challenge my unlawful suspension. I requested an urgent expedited hearing as I was being left with no way to earn a living. There were 10 grounds of appeal. The High Court date was set for 10th July 2025. Meanwhile, the MPTS is obliged to give a 6-month review – 16th June 2025 afternoon was scheduled. I stated I wanted this in person and in public. I flew back from Kashmir on 9th June – it’s cheaper to live there - and found myself arrested at Holyhead under s12 of the Terrorism Act for “alleged support of proscribed groups” – apparently I was “on the wanted list. I’m released 14 hours later. They’d seized my mobile phones and laptop and wait for it, all my GMC documents that I’d carefully put together. I’m still not sure why I couldn’t get those back. I learn that the GMC is seeking information about this non-reportable arrest within 24 hours of it – they know. In any case, I go for the IOT hearing – and the GMC Counsel attempts to utilise the arrest. I object. The panel agree that it will not be considered. However, the MPTS have set an insufficient amount of time for the hearing – they would have known. There were over 1000 pages in the bundle of nonsense – the only worthwhile part of that was my beautifully written 191-page response. I was quite proud of it if I’m honest. It could be considered my second PhD thesis. As I have to return to Pakistan for hearings and the High Court case was 10thJuly, the IOT hearing was re-scheduled for 14th July 2025. So, fast forward to 10th July 2025. Under 48 hours before the hearing is due, the GMC submit their skeleton arguments – ordinarily submitted 7-14 days before – no doubt, to wrong foot me. They finally admit that the IOT panel made an “error of law” in not properly applying the Article 10 rights but argue they got to the “right decision but by the wrong route” (!) I am self-representing in Court 1 at the Royal Courts of Justice – the GMC have their in-house lawyer, their GMC Counsel and her clerk. But I have the best lawyer (currently abroad) and an excellent McKenzie friend, Sean Naughton and my well wishers who attended to support me. We start at 10 30am – and I ask the Judge to review the admission of illegality. On that basis alone, my suspension should be revoked. She declines and wants to hear the case. I then detail the IOT powers and how the grounds to sanction me had not been met – they had not proven public interest or public protection. I discussed the GMC actions, the unfairness, disproportionality, the abuse of process, the outright lies by the GMC, the draconian 18-month suspension, the persecution by the Jewish lobbies and the breach of my rights under Articles 8, 9 and 10 of the ECHR. My opening lines: “I submit that the suspension was political in nature. It was subject to bias and external pressure was clearly evident. It was unlawful and demonstrated seriously flawed reasoning. It was manifestly wrong and the panel erred in law. It was completely unnecessary. It’s been tainted by marked procedural errors, unfairness and it has demonstrated gross abuse of process by the GMC and the MPTS and the IOT panel and those abuses have continued. The suspension is draconian and disproportionate and inconsistent with other decision makings of the IOT panels. It is a complete violation of my rights under Article 8, 9 and especially Article 10 of the European Court of Human Rights. And it is demonstrated also limitation of the panel’s expertise, both in terms of law, but also, importantly, the context of the rights of the Palestinian people and it brings into serious question whether the GMC should be policing speech of doctors. It should certainly not be policing or interfering in political speech.” I went through each ground in detail giving the relevant case law. I talked openly about the nature of that persecution: “All of the complaints against me have been made by Jewish and pro-Israeli affiliated organisations and I think it’s necessary to list them – Lawyers for Israel, in collaboration with Gnasherjew, the Jewish Medical Association twice; the unnamed Jewish Zionist doctor; the Jewish News who defamed me; the reporter is Michelle Rosenberg - who is Jewish and Zionist; the Daily Telegraph defamation - George Chesterton is married to a Jewish woman; Miranda Levy and Jacob Freedland are both Jewish and Zionist. I had the Jewish Chronicle defamation - Jane Prinsley is Jewish and has a home in Israel; Campaign Against Antisemitism by Stephen Silverman, who is Jewish and has submitted three similar tweets in March 2025 to the GMC which have been included in my Rule 7 letter without due process the GMC is obliged to follow on receipt of a new complaint. And then, twice in the Jerusalem Post - Mathilda Heller and Michael Starr are both Jewish Zionists. And despite the suspension, Sabrina Miller, a Jewish Zionist journalist at the Daily Mail attacked a number of pro-Palestinian doctors, including myself. So, these previous complaints that have been dismissed by the GMC included tweets of a similar nature. The tweets have not changed, but I would contend that the priorities of the GMC had and my complaint was clearly being handled by individuals who appeared conflicted. In my witness statement, I have detailed the behaviour of XXX, XXX, XXX who refused to respond to emails on where disclosures from the GMC themselves, since I submitted this appeal, have since revealed that XX XX had made false notes on my record claiming I had prior FTP history. In addition, in July 2024, Wes Streeting became the Health Secretary. I refer Your Honour to pages 327 to 337 of the bundle. There’s a Declassified article, incidentally, that’s been written by a Jewish journalist, Matt Kennard. He has investigated Streeting’s support of Israel since his days at the National Union of Students. It documents that he visited Israel in 2022 paid for by the Labour Friends of Israel. That organisation’s former chair was Joan Ryan, infamously found to be discussing her £1 million payment from Israel with Shai Masot, the Israeli diplomat. Streeting has taken over £20,000 from Israeli lobbyist, Trevor Chinn. Trevor Chinn’s father heads the Jewish National Fund which supports illegal Israeli settlements and from Lord Mendelsohn and David Menton. The Jewish Chronicle even ran a profile of him entitled “Wes Streeting, our friend at the NUS”. So, there’s little surprise that Wes Streeting made comments in The Telegraph stating he would urge medical regulators to discipline staff expressing views which he, as a pro-Israeli and Zionist, opposed. He stated that regulators had the power to set conditions that a healthcare professional must work under. Suspend them or strike them entirely from the medical register. He made similar comments to The Times. He then met with the Board of Deputies for Community Security Trust, which is also behind my complaint, the Jewish Leadership Council and the Jewish Medical Association, reiterating “I expect employers and regulators to take action”. The idea that this political pressure by the Health Secretary in November 2024 was irrelevant to my suspension is untenable in the face of this clear intervention, which actually represents political interference and undermines the alleged independence of the GMC.” And I made clear the Jewish privilege at play “So, from what I’ve just presented, it’s very clear that the red line concerns Israel. Tweets, that’s words. Criticising an entity, carrying out the mass slaughter against innocent civilians will be punished more severely than malpractice, blatant dishonesty, criminal convictions or even genuine Jew hatred, as long as you are not a Muslim. And if you’re Jewish and you belong to a powerful lobby group like the Jewish Medical Association, then the GMC gives you a clear pass as shown in the case of Liz Lightstone and Justin Stebbing.” I made clear that even the GMC referral to the MPTS explicitly stated “that there was no evidence of [her] racially discriminating against anyone or discriminating against Jewish people.” I stated in the High Court “And I should point out that the Jewish people are not a race; Judaism is a religion” and “It is my inalienable right to be able to disagree with the narrative from Israeli lobbies and express it. Their free speech does not trump mine.” I made sure that she understood that my patients and even Grok approved of me: “In fact, Grok is positively glowing – “Dr Rehiana Ali’s tweet carry a fiery, unapologetic tone blending sharp intellect with a raw defiance against injustice echoing the spirit of Malcolm X, mirrors Malcolm’s blend of moral clarity, confrontational rhetoric and distain for oppressive systems.” “I can’t think of a better person to be compared to.” I further stated “I do not believe that legal, that legitimate political commentary or reporting facts can be antisemitic. I do not believe that any groups, be they Jewish, Muslims or Christians, are exempt from criticism where the situation warrants it. I do not believe in hate speech, as that’s the very antithesis of free speech, but also, importantly, there is no tweet of mine that demonstrates hatred for any group simply by virtue of their religious identity and, indeed, none has been identified as such.” I even quoted the Queen: “I do not accept that stating facts becomes anti-Jewish simply because the majority of those committing the crimes are Jewish. If you take that to the logical conclusion, that would mean that no Jewish person could ever be criticised for their bad behaviour. That cannot be right. I would also point out that the late Queen, according to the Israeli press, and the ex-President of Israel Rivlin, was reported to have viewed every Israeli as a terrorist or the son of a terrorist. Who would have thought that the Monarch would have been so based?” At 1pm, the Judge wants a lunch-break – I haven’t finished. We continue after lunch break – and I complete my submission dealing with the GMC’s arguments. “Before I sum up, I’ll just briefly address the skeleton arguments that the defence submitted on 8 July. And obviously I’ve already raised disgruntlement about that but I think it’s important to note, that the GMC has finally conceded, after over two months since receiving my skeleton arguments, that the IOT erred in law. On that basis alone, that suspension should be quashed today. If the GMC was capable of self- reflection, it would have withdrawn its objections to my appeal gracefully but that is probably too optimistic an outcome to expect of this bureaucratic monster which has become a law unto itself…” Then the GMC repeats their arguments and argues that the High Court have broad powers and should take original jurisdiction over the matter: “And that is an exercise that this Court can properly make, exercising its original jurisdiction” In fact, the words “original jurisdiction” were repeated about 7-8 times. The GMC Counsel repeated to the Judge “We accept that you have a free-er hand” and again “Because, as I say, this Court is free-er to exercise the original jurisdiction” and so on. Look at the tweets! She said “Mossad did 9/11” and that “Israelis shouldn’t be allowed near humanity”. She said “Israelis are involved in organ trafficking”. All true. I was amused. Ordinarily the High Court usually looks at technical and legal aspects without going into the actual details of the issue itself (e.g. on covid, they wouldn’t debate the merits of the covid vaccine – the issue was whether the conditions/suspension was legal according to rules and procedural fairness). I reply I have no issue but it wasn’t necessary – the grounds did not require that. However, if the Judge wanted to look at the tweets she should acquaint herself with the facts that I presented in my 191-page response. I request a judgement that day or the next day. I had no faith in the MPTS and GMC. That review hearing was due a few days later on 14 July 2025. Judge McGowan was fully aware of that review IOT hearing. She stated “We need to finish this during the course of today. It cannot go part heard and I understand that your review hearing is listed on Monday next.” She stated the following: “And if there is not a decision from this Court today then, presumably, the review hearing will be made aware of these proceedings, but their decision is independent of this. If they decide to not lift the suspension, then my decision either does the same or lifts or terminates the suspension. If they terminate the suspension on Monday, then my decision probably becomes quite academic, but necessary, nonetheless.” Even the GMC Counsel admitted that the Court’s decision was “of interest” I didn’t agree it was “academic” The Judge continued: “There is too much material. It is too important.” And later that her decision was “nonetheless, an important exercise.” I emphasised in my response that I wanted the High Court to rectify that injustice done to me in December 2024 and that “the overarching question is “was my original suspension, was it correct or not?” McGowan replied : “I – I do understand that and in order to reach a decision about that I have to look at what you say are the procedural mistakes. I have to look at what you say are the errors of law. I have to look at what you say is unfair about the way the hearing was conducted...” and again,“Until I have made my mind up about the procedural unfairness and all the other points you have raised, I have got to consider everything.” I again pointed out “..I would argue it’s an abuse of the system and I’m actually paying the price for their deficiencies, or rather procedural irregularities. I’m having to live with the consequences of being deprived of an income…” In other words, there have been consequences for me – financially and professionally. And I ended with “I have no faith in the IOT. I have no faith in the MPTS, and I have no faith in the GMC, and I am not the only one to feel that way. The fact that we are calling for a different body and we’re calling for the GMC to be dismantled. I’m simply asking that the injustice that was done in December is rectified…” The concluding remarks of McGowan? “Well, I am certainly not going to give judgment in this case at 3.55pm. You raised an awful lot of important issues. The importance of a decision to you, personally, is obviously great. The importance of a decision to your potential patients is high and the importance of a decision to the public is equally important. So, all of those matters have to be considered and balanced and I will get to a decision early next week. I think that is probably the best way, which will be handed down in the usual way. All right, well thank you both very much. Thank you all very much for your attendance.” At no point did McGowan state there would be no Judgement. On 14 July 2025, my suspension was revoked. I self-represented and I didn’t concede a single point or any tweet. What happened next was a shocking abuse of the judicial process. My registration was reinstated – no conditions. But that 7 months suspension remains on my record visible to every employer. The very next day GMC emails the Court to state that the High Court no longer has jurisdiction over the matter as the suspension was revoked! The IOT panel has very limited powers so whilst it revoked my suspension, it will not deem it unlawful or indeed make any comment about the previous panel’s decision – and certainly not its legality. The MPTS admitted that only the High court could rule it was unlawful. I contacted the Court pointing this out and that I was expecting a judgement as per McGowan’s position in the High Court. The High Court had a full day’s hearing and the court was independent of the tribunal and had seized jurisdiction. All my grounds including the legality of the suspension were outstanding. The revocation was to some extent irrelevant to the Court issuing the Judgement – if anything, it rather supported my contention that the suspension imposed on me in December 2024 was unlawful. I ask the GMC to provide what law they’re relying upon….they quote this section and claim it is written in the present tense! “Section 41A(10 of the Medical Act 1983, Interim Orders, states Where an order has effect under any provision of this section, the relevant court may –..” Yes – that is the best they could come up with it. Needless to say, the convention in UK legislative drafting is the simple present tense …because the law is “always speaking”. I call and even visit the Royal Courts of Justice. The Court staff chase the Clerk …I’m asked to be patient and await the Judgement. Even up to 6th August 2025 I was told that the Judgement was coming. On 11th August 2025, I am informed by email that there will be no Judgement!! I spoke to a number of barristers and solicitors – it’s almost unheard of. They're all useless though. I get no replies to my emails to the High Court. So in November 2025, I requested the Hearing transcript. On 12th December 2025 – over 5 months after the substantive hearing – I received an Order (not a Judgement). It was a bare order – simply stating “Upon the Court hearing the substantive hearing on this matter on 10 July 2025 And upon following consideration of the documents lodged by Respondent on 15 July 2025 confirming revocation of the Interim Order pursuant to Section 41A of the Medical Act 1983, the application is dismissed.” No reasons whatsoever as to why the Judge had contradicted her own position in Court. I replied to the Court and file an application for permission to appeal – not just to McGowan (the system is so barmy that you have to ask the same judge for permission to appeal) but also to the Court of Appeal – the latter for both permission to appeal and the appeal itself concerning McGowan’s bare unreasoned order. McGowan now responds (miraculously) via the Court staff wanting a 30-minute hearing for permission to appeal – that is set for Tuesday 13 January 2026. So, yet again I am at the High Court now requesting permission to appeal. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. McGowan had shown she lacks the spine to address the issues – and has zero integrity. You don’t get a DBE in the UK for nothing. In fact, she started this hearing by asking the GMC to interpret the Section 41A of the Medical Act!!! Then she turned to me – the Claimant – and asked if “I understood what was being said”. I replied that I understood full well. English after all is my first language and I’m a Cambridge graduate. I can understand basic English. She clearly has difficulties though – I later learnt that she dropped English at Manchester University for Law. At the expense of sounding very snobbish, I just knew she wasn’t Oxbridge material…. I present my arguments – including case law. The GMC has no relevant case law – their arguments are “it is written in the present tense” (I did correct them that in actual fact, it was written in the simple present tense to be more precise) and that the decision of the High Court “is final”. Of course, I point out that finality is based on two aspects – firstly, getting a reasoned Judgement! I never got a judgement. I effectively got a blank piece of paper. On no grounds, could that be considered “a decision”. And secondly, if there were any errors of law, procedural irregularities …they were always appealable. Appeal however was not automatic – all that meant was that one had to request permission to appeal. Can you imagine a system where a Judge makes an error but you can’t appeal it?! I point out that every issue remains live. I even simplify it for them – I point out that in the case of rape, and using GMC logic, we’d never prosecute the rapist – after all, the rape was no longer in progess. That is not justice. The High Court seized jurisdiction by having a substantive hearing and had to produce a judgement. Of course, I understood that had I appealed after the revocation, the application would have been dismissed. McGowan sat there clearly not listening. This was merely an exercise to show there’d been a hearing. She tried to claim she has “no power”!! She then had the audacity to say “You’ve had a success. Why aren’t you satisfied with that?” I point out that I was suspended unlawfully – I had 20 years of an impeccable record and it states “misconduct” on my record. I have a right to get that unlawful suspension struck from my record and remedy with regards to the consequences I had suffered. The GMC – a public body – should be held accountable not just for my sake but for other doctors and I remind her of her own words “for the wider public interest”. In fact, I quote liberally from the transcript and point out her contradictions. At no point did she ever state – because it’s not possible – that the High Court lost jurisdiction. That’s the legal principle: “Once seized, always seized.”

‡ The Pacific Classic Result It was unfortunate that Nysos was scratched, but the result was interesting, with Fierceness, the 1.6/1 second-favorite, comfortably handling Journalism, the (overbet) 2/5 choice. That the odds of the remaining five runners ranged between 22/1 and 72/1, underscored the yawning gap in quality between the top pair and the rest. So it was clearly no surprise that the "also-rans" toiled in their wake. What was surprising, at least at first glance, was how well Fierceness appeared to handle less than ideal conditions. But on closer inspection, his trip was actually far less challenging than the vast majority of post-race takes have suggested. His having ducked in soon after the start, almost making contact with the temporary extension rail, could have been a disaster, but it wasn't, and its importance has arguably been overblown. I say that because it was not similar to the trouble that he had encountered early in some of his previous races, in that he was in his own space, and was neither bumped, constricted, nor otherwise intimidated by other runners. This is an important distinction, because the mental weakness that he had previously displayed was related to close encounters with other horses, and his ducking-in after the break did not fall into that category. Inexperienced horses may suffer from that type of self-inflicted event, but given a mature, experienced runner, they are almost always forgotten quickly, which was clearly the case here. The fact that it was a long race also helped to mitigate the event, as there was no need for the rider to panic, or feel pressure to make up ground immediately. It is even possible that the early ground loss actually helped Fierceness, as had he been drawn closer to the pace early, it could have rendered him vulnerable in the late stages of the race. At the same time, due to the inside post, and how the race unfolded, Johnny Velasquez, who has done such a brilliant job keeping Fierceness outside and clear of his rivals in his previous wins, was forced to make the best of racing inside of horses. I understand why some are tempted to argue that Fierceness displayed a new dimension, as there were no obvious signs of him having been intimidated, despite the inside trip. But while I am willing to consider the possibility that he has gained confidence, I remain skeptical of any significant change, in part because it would be highly unusual for a horse to overcome that type of mental weakness midway through its four-year-old season, and/or in its 13th start. I also remain unconvinced for more subtle reasons. First, Fierceness was never bounced around, and with the possible exception of the first turn, he was never forced to race in especially tight quarters. Secondly, the rhythm of the race, after the initial duck-in, was actually smooth, and therefore beneficial to him. To understand why the above points are important, consider that Fierceness was never, so to speak, allergic to racing inside, but was more likely to face contact, be squeezed into a tight space, or have his rhythm thrown off when breaking from an inside post. In contrast, when breaking from an outside post, JV has invariably been able to place him clear of the pack, and in a comfortable, stalking rhythm. Fierceness is also essentially a free-runner, with a "light" mouth, and as such performs best when his rider allows him to dictate his own rhythm and pace. That is why, for example, Johnny V was not at all responsible for his loss in the Breeders' Cup Classic, as he is not the type of horse that a rider can take a strong hold of in order to restrain him further off of the pace, as that would discourage him. And to the great credit of both JV and Todd Pletcher, they picked up on this early on, and have done a superb job mitigating the colt's limitations, and maximizing his potential. In the Pacific Classic, despite racing on the inside, Johnny V remained cool and calm, and gave Fierceness another masterful ride. He and the colt's connections did benefit though, as none of his rivals, either intentionally or not, tightened things up significantly, or otherwise disrupted his rhythm. In fact, quite the opposite. Having tracked comfortably through much of the race, and with space around him, Fierceness displayed his trademark spurt on the final turn. And while the pan shot may suggest that he slipped though a tight opening, it was more like the red sea parting, as the embedded head-on view illustrates. If you are able to view the full head-on replay, you will find that despite racing inside, Fierceness actually enjoyed quite a comfortable trip, after the eventful few strides. A more subtle indication that we were watching the same horse as in his previous races comes :12-14 seconds into the embedded clip. When he was about to take the lead, he cocked his head to the right, as if he may have been worried about the horse outside of him. He was able to draw away from that one so quickly that it was ultimately of no practical consequence, but I would say that it implies that he hasn't suddenly developed the heart of a lion. *** Two qualities that have been crucial to Fierceness' success are his tactical speed, coupled with the separation that he produces on the final turn of his (two-turn) races. His ability to take command at that crucial stage has served him very well, particularly in his narrow win over Thorpedo Anna, and it was again on display in the Pacific Classic. A big part of the reason why that move has been such an important part of his arsenal is that it typically allows his him to take a "breather", before digging deep in an effort to fend off any late dangers. I encourage you to watch the (pan) replay of the Pacific Classic, and focus on Johnny V from around the 3/8th pole to the head of the stretch, as he was sitting like the proverbial statue. So for at least a furlong and a half, Fierceness was on cruise control, while Journalism, his only danger, was under pressure to make up ground, in an attempt to simply reach striking distance. But with all due credit to Fierceness and his rider for having produced fine efforts in the Pacific Classic, was this really an exceptionally outstanding performance, or was it at least partly a reflection of his only serious rival failing to run his best? I'm inclined to argue the latter. Despite Journalism having produced an unusually good 3yo campaign, capped by three Gr. I wins, including a Classic success in the Preakness, and never finishing worse than second, there have been some lingering questions. One of them is whether he is actually as well-suited to 10f. as he is to 8-9f. races. Yes, he was beaten in his two previous tries over 10f. by Sovereignty, a better horse. But in each race he was able to gain first-run on that one, an advantage that is typically difficult to overcome, yet lost ground late to the winner both times, and to Baeza as well, in the KY Derby. Some have suggested that he may have a tendency to loaf when in front, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence of that. And such horses typically dig in when passed, in efforts to re-engage, which we haven't seen, at least overtly, from Journalism. He also drew away from his rivals late in his first three wins. Alex Evers made this interesting comment about the kickback in the Pacific Classic: "I've photographed racing for 20 years, I've never seen kick back knock a jockeys goggles off like this." Here is a link to his supporting photos, which are typically excellent: Could that have discouraged Journalism? I suppose that it could have been an impediment, but he is such a tough and honest horse, that I would be surprised to learn that it was a meaningful factor. By contemporary standards, Journalism has also had a busy campaign, having raced a touch over once per month since March, all but one of which in Grade I events, and four times well away from his home base. So it is possible that he is beginning to feel the effects of those races, and travels. I have also noted that from a Beyer figure standpoint, he hasn't really moved forward, and it's worth noting that in contrast to Sovereignty and Baeza, both of which were late (May) foals, Journalism was a February foal, and may not have had quite as much room to improve. I don't know why he lagged so far behind in the early stages of the Pacific Classic, or if there was any tactical intention behind it. I had previously suggested that it might make sense to ride him more patiently, a tactic that is sometimes adopted when there are questions about a horse staying a trip. But I didn't notice any improved late kick, so it's difficult to interpret the performance. Fierceness earned a 107 Beyer figure for his victory, slower than his best three races last year, and merely equivalent to his comeback victory in the Gr. II Alysheba at Churchill Downs, in May. That doesn't suggest that it was a particularly outstanding performance. Journalism was given a 102, which implies that the return to his home court did not catalyze any notable forward move. *** I would say that there is one relevant pattern that has emerged, namely that Fierceness has an apparent affinity for the faster, high energy return track surfaces in California. He has now contested three races in CA (Beyer): 1st Breeders' Cup Juvenile (105) 2nd Breeders' Cup Classic (111) 1st Pacific Classic (107) It's also interesting to compare the colt's first and last half-mile fractions in his effort in last year's BCC, and the PC, both contested at Del Mar over 10f.: BCC – :45 1/5 • :51 3/5 PC – :46 1/5 • :50 2/5 Predictably, he finished better in the PC, thanks to more manageable early fractions. But would a repeat of that effort be nearly sufficient to win this year's Classic? Given the various points noted above, coupled with Sovereignty's continued improvement, and seemingly bottomless stamina, I would be inclined to say no. And that's before even factoring Sierra Leone, Mindframe, Forever Young, et al, into the conversation. But setting aside all of the fine parsing, I'm happy to congratulate Repole Stable, and Fierceness' other connections, for having shipped to California, and for being rewarded with an exciting, winning effort. Assuming that the colt makes it to the Breeders' Cup Classic in good order, he should minimally add spice to the race, and who knows, perhaps even provide a serious challenge to knock Sovereignty off of his current throne.

Two and a Half Minutes That Defined a Decade The moment that “bum-ba-bum-BOOM” drumbeat hits, the whole stage seems to light up. Three young women stand under the lights, towering beehive hairdos, dark outfits, microphones in hand, moving and singing with pure energy. Ronnie is in the center—her voice sharp yet warm, those “whoa-oh-ohs” soaring without any strain. Backup dancers move behind them. The audience cheers. It’s just over two and a half minutes, but it feels like the entire 1960s has come alive right in front of you. The Ronettes came out of Spanish Harlem and Washington Heights in New York. Veronica “Ronnie” Bennett, her sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley started singing together in the late 1950s, drawing inspiration from doo-wop groups like Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers. They performed at the Peppermint Lounge, appeared in a twist movie, and released a few modest singles. The turning point came when Estelle called Philles Records. Phil Spector heard Ronnie sing “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” and immediately knew that was the voice he’d been looking for. The three of them signed with his label in 1963. “Be My Baby” was written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector. Ronnie later said the song captured the explosive feeling of those early days between her and the producer. The recording sessions took place in July 1963 at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles. Ronnie flew out to California alone. The other two Ronettes weren’t called in. Background vocals came from the Blossoms, Cher (her first time in a studio), Sonny Bono, and Nino Tempo. The session musicians—later known as the Wrecking Crew—included Hal Blaine on drums, multiple pianos at once, guitars, bass, brass, and a full string section. It was the first time Spector used a full orchestra at Gold Star for one of his records. The studio was packed. They rehearsed for hours before rolling tape. Hal Blaine later explained that the legendary opening drum pattern came from an accident—he dropped a stick and missed the second beat. He kept the “mistake,” and it became the unforgettable signature. Ronnie spent three days recording her vocals. Between takes she would slip into the ladies’ room to practice those “oh-oh-ohs,” partly because the acoustics were great in there and partly so the musicians wouldn’t get distracted. Spector built his Wall of Sound by layering instruments thickly and using Gold Star’s famous echo chamber, creating a dense, almost symphonic sound he called “little symphonies for the kids.” The finished track felt both powerful and intimate, grand and personal at the same time. Released in August 1963, “Be My Baby” climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, held strong for weeks, hit No. 1 on Cash Box, and reached the top five in the UK. Dick Clark called it “the record of the century” on American Bandstand. It sold millions of copies in its first year. The song became an icon of the 1960s for several interlocking reasons. The Wall of Sound delivered a sense of scale that matched the energy and ambition of a young generation growing up with radio and television. The lyrics were simple teenage romance, yet Ronnie delivered them with confidence and a subtle sensuality that created a compelling tension. At that moment, girl groups were reshaping how female artists appeared on stage—confident, stylish, magnetic. “Be My Baby” captured that shift and elevated it. The impact was immediate. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys heard the song for the first time while driving. He had to pull over to the side of the road, completely overwhelmed. He later called it the greatest record ever made and said no one would ever top it. Wilson bought multiple copies, played them over and over, and studied every layer. He wrote “Don’t Worry Baby” as a kind of answer song, originally intending it for the Ronettes, before keeping it for his own group. John Lennon loved Ronnie’s voice too. Later generations kept drawing from that drumbeat, that sense of space in the production, and the direct emotional charge of the track. Every time I watch the performance clip again, it still feels fresh. Ronnie smiles, sings, and moves across the stage as if the song had been written the day before. Nothing feels forced. The energy comes from the three of them, from the hidden orchestra behind them, and from the way the record was built. It’s a moment when pop music learned how to create something large inside a small frame. More than sixty years later, the recording still stands among the most important songs of its era, inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. Sitting with the video, what comes through clearest is pure joy. No long explanation needed. Just that opening drumbeat, then Ronnie’s voice stepping in, and suddenly you remember why this song remains tied to the 1960s—because it caught the pulse of its time, because it was made with such care that it became a standard, and because it still makes people want to sing along, move along, and believe every word.

A SWOT of Annamalai’s “We-The-Leaders” Movement – An Amazing and Ambitious Project on Paper, but an Arduous one to Implement! As the very first person to surmise and publicly suggest that Annamalai should launch his own party (despite being a BJP sympathizer myself), I feel both happy and vindicated that he has finally taken the plunge. In fact, when I made that suggestion in April last year, many of his own supporters rebuked me. Today, the very same supporters are jumping in joy. I thought I would offer my honest and impartial views on Annamalai’s new dream and what better way to analyse it than through a SWOT framework? Here we go! Strengths! Annamalai’s speech was positive, confident, and unwavering. For the first time, he explicitly articulated his intention to begin a movement, nurture it into a political party, and eventually contest the next Assembly elections. He appears determined and emotionally invested in his vision. The intent itself appears noble — primarily to break the cult (TVK Vijay) and dynastic/nepotistic (DMK and AIADMK) political culture that dominates Tamil Nadu politics. Today, opportunities are often monopolized either by mass celebrities or by political families where grandfather, son, grandson, and extended relatives continue inheriting political power, while the common man still struggles to find space to contribute meaningfully to society. Annamalai also seems to have understood the importance of grassroots political development. Precisely for this reason, he speaks about creating and nurturing grassroots leaders who can eventually become catalysts for broader societal and political change. Weaknesses! In electoral politics, identifying your principal political opponent is extremely important. Annamalai says he will not attack anyone, but politics rarely functions in that manner. One major reason behind the phenomenal success of Vijay and his rapid rise was that he clearly identified DMK as his primary political enemy, and that strategy worked brilliantly due to severe anti-incumbency. While Annamalai repeatedly spoke about creating grassroots leaders, the overall speech lacked operational specifics regarding how exactly he intends to pull off such an enormous project. Building genuine grassroots leadership cannot realistically be achieved within five years. It requires a generational transformation. By the time any meaningful structural outcome emerges, Annamalai himself may well be in his 60s. Opportunities! A focused, training-based approach to creating grassroots leaders sounds fresh, innovative, and intellectually appealing. No major Tamil Nadu political movement has articulated such an idea in recent times. This approach could resonate strongly with discerning, educated, and politically aware voters seeking long-term systemic change. The proposal for fixed terms for all positions, including councilors, MLAs, ministers, and even Chief Ministers is also a brilliant and refreshing idea. It creates a level playing field and opens opportunities for merit-based political growth driven by performance and competitive spirit. Threats! CMOTamilNadu Joseph Vijay will undoubtedly be the single biggest threat to this movement. This is because Vijay possesses charisma, mass appeal, cinematic aura, and substantial public support already reflected in his 35% vote share. That support base could further expand because Tamil Nadu politics has historically been deeply mass-leader-centric, from Karunanidhi to MGR to Jayalalithaa and now Joseph Vijay. Cinema and politics in Tamil Nadu have always remained deeply intertwined. How exactly Annamalai intends to break this cultural-political pattern remains the million-dollar question. Another concern is that many Annamalai supporters still seem to misunderstand the nature of this initiative. This is supposed to be a long-term grassroots movement, not merely a membership drive. As of now, even if more 7 lakh people have enrolled, that still represents only a tiny fraction of Tamil Nadu’s voter base. Even if the movement eventually attracts 60 lakh people, it would still translate to only around 15% vote share which is insufficient to defeat a strong incumbent government. Many are currently joining because of excitement, novelty, and emotional momentum. But will the movement sustain itself? It is somewhat similar to joining a gym after a New Year’s resolution. Initial enthusiasm is easy. Sustained discipline is rare. If fixed-term political positions is intended merely as an internal party discipline mechanism, then it is perfectly achievable. However, if Annamalai intends to make it a broader political standard for India, then that would require major electoral reforms far beyond the capacity of a regional party. Final words! I do not want to sound pessimistic because there is clearly genuine intent behind this movement from Annamalai. An intent to create seismic long-term societal and political change. But does modern society possess the patience required for such an awakening? Tamil Nadu politics is fundamentally cult-driven. In many ways, cult can only be defeated by another cult. Only a diamond can cut a diamond. Modern voters are often impatient, emotional, short-sighted, and constantly searching for “change” and “excitement” more than governance, administrative experience, or institutional credentials. Neutral and non-political voters also tend to gravitate toward whichever political force appears to possess momentum and inevitability, because people naturally prefer backing someone who they think will win. Will this initial enthusiasm sustain itself? And if yes, what are the long-term plans for sustaining it? There must be constant engagement, frequent interactions, periodic workshops, conversations, and consistent quality control. How will Annamalai alone manage such an enormous undertaking? If he successfully does, he may himself evolve into a political cult figure. In which case, how will be fight cult politics? However, excessive empty rhetoric without visible action could also revive “failed Seeman” comparisons. My humble suggestion to Annamalai would be to first attempt a pilot exercise in the Kongu belt and scientifically test the outcomes. He could train grassroots leaders and allow them to contest local body elections and the 2029 Lok Sabha elections within that region. If successful, those leaders could gradually create model wards, streets, municipalities, and eventually constituencies. That success could then inspire broader replication across Tamil Nadu over the next 10–15 years, while simultaneously earning the trust of Tamil voters. Attempting to achieve all this within just five years appears virtually impossible. Personally, I would say the chances to succeed is only 10%. But it will be an extraordinary political and social experiment if Annamalai genuinely wishes to give back to the society that made him who he is today. Having said all this, I am still willing to give Annamalai the benefit of the doubt because this project is still in the initial phase. Let us wait and watch how things unfold. Even if his party emerges as the principal opposition force by 2031, it would still be a phenomenal achievement. All the very best, brother K.Annamalai

English Gaza, the Miracle, is the Graveyard of its Invaders Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani 18— Rabi’ II— 1445 AH 02— November — 2023 AD 07:09 AM (According to the official time of Mecca Mother of Towns) _____________ Gaza, the Miracle, is the Graveyard of its Invaders In the name of Allaah the One, the Overpowering. Prayers of forgiveness and peace be upon all of the messengers of Allaah sent with Islam, from the first of them to the seal of them Mohammed, who was sent with the Great Qur'an, Allaah's comprehensive message to the worlds till the Day of Judgment I still assure the worlds that Saturday, October 7th, is a day of incessant misfortune (against the devils of mankind) and continuous victories by the command of Allaah the One the Overpowering. And I still assure the Muslims that the battle of Honourable Gaza will show the true colours of the leaders of the world. I am still waiting to see who is truthful among Muslim leaders, thus I increase his might and glory because Muslim leaders are in their last chance and final test. If they are grateful, Allaah will increase their glory, if not, Allaah will destroy them and lock them in Planet Saqar (Nibiru/Planet X) which has 7 gates, for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned. He will imprison them eternally for a never-ending life. Having said that, Muslim leaders have to choose between glory, victory, forgiveness from Allaah, and the Garden of Bliss (Paradise), or disgrace, painful torment, and eternal Hell prison . O Arab and non-Arab Muslim leaders, the spoken denouncement of the greatest corruption in the land of Palestine is not enough, for actions speak louder than words. O Muslim leaders who have been empowered in the land by Allaah to test them, would you like to attain the hatred of Allaah and His wrath or His pleasure, love, and nearness? Consider the command of Allaah, in the clear verses of His Book the great Qur'an, addressed to the believers who were empowered by Allaah on the Earth : سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ (1) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ (2) كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ (3) إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ (4) صدق الله العظيم Qur'an — Surah: as-Saff — Chapter: 61 — Verses: 1-4 O Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, did not you say you will not remain silent on the massacre in Gaza which crossed the red line of all human rights by the killing of babies, women, and helpless men in Honourable Gaza? So keep your word. Also, you promised to never hold your tongue, and that you are going to put an end to this with an iron heart and a severe power. So according to your promise, you are going to take action and not just a denunciation. I call upon you to keep your word and I call upon the Pakistani President, Iran, and all the Arab and non-Arab Muslim leaders to be honest with Allaah, themselves, and their people. Be brothers in the religion of Allaah and reject denominationalism, sectarianism, and partisanism. Be soldiers and allies of Allaah not of the Devil, Iblis, and his allies lest you lose the worldly life and the Hereafter. I swear by Allaah that the plotting of Satan is weak and defeated by a command from Allaah. Give a pledge to Allaah to fight in His cause to enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong to protect your religion and keep the human rights of both Muslims and non-Muslims. Human rights are preserved in the Qur'an for everyone regardless of their religion and belief because their reckoning is with Allaah, thus there is no racialism, ethnicism, or regionalism (mentioned) in the clear verses of the Great Qur'an . O Arab and non-Arab Muslim leaders, I, Allaah's caliph al-Mahdi (Arabic,the guided one)Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani, give you a ruling with the truth that you have the right to cooperate with non-Muslim humanitarian leaders who are in pain from what is happening of the greatest crimes in the history of humanity in honorable Gaza, in Palestine, which are the massacres of children, women, the elderly, and the helpless before the eyes of the worlds. Here the world will be able to distinguish between leaders of mercy and human rights who hate man's transgression against the rights of his fellow man such as the president of Colombia, and Chile, and their likes among the Muslim and non-Muslim leaders and nations, or from the People of the Book Know that whoever wholeheartedly denounces what is happening in Honourable Gaza, Palestine, among the leaders of the world, is among people of humanitarian mercy, and all the Muslim leaders ought to cooperate with the humanitarian non-Muslim leaders to prevent corruption in the Earth. Allah did not forbid you from being allies with the peaceful People of the Book who do not want superiority or corruption. Except for the unjust extreme ones among them, they ally with each other, but be allies with other than them from humanitarians around the world to prevent corruption in the land, and bloodshed in injustice and aggression. In line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted : عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُم مِّنْهُم مَّوَدَّةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ قَدِيرٌ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ (7) لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ (8) إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ (9) صدق الله العظيم Qur'an — Surah: al-Mumtahanah— Verses: 7-9 And know with knowledge of certainty that Allaah has made me His caliph on the whole world, it's land and sea. And I do not call you to wars, bloodshed, and hatred between man and his fellow man, for there is no aggression against none but the unjust ones. And know that the killing of one single soul in the Qur’an, equals the killing of all mankind, regardless this soul was of a believer or a disbeliever, because according to Allaah it is the same sin. In line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted : {مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبْنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ مَن قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا ۚ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ لَمُسْرِفُونَ (32) إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَسَادًا أَن يُقَتَّلُوا أَوْ يُصَلَّبُوا أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ أَوْ يُنفَوْا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْيٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (33) إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ (34) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ (35) إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لِيَفْتَدُوا بِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا تُقُبِّلَ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ (36) } صدق الله العظيم [سورةالمائدة] Qur'an — Surah: al-Ma'idah— Verses: 32-36 Allaah does not like those who violate human rights regardless of their religion, each has their own religion and they will return to Allah to call them to account. Allah did not command you to compel people to become believers, so whoever desires let them believe and whoever desires let them disbelieve, we only have the duty of delivering the message and it is Allaah who will call them to account . As for human rights between mankind, Allaah made them inviolable and preserved them in the Great Qur’an and has ordered mankind to help each other in righteousness and piety and not help each other in sin and aggression. In line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted : {وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ } صدق الله العظيم [سورة المائدة:٢] . Qur'an — Surah: al-Ma’idah— Verse: 2 And know with knowledge of certainty that Allaah did not send all His messengers and His caliph Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani except to be mercy for the worlds. And I enjoin upon man to be kind to his fellow man, whether he believed in the message of all messengers and Allaah's caliph al-Mahdi to worship Allaah alone no partners with Him, or not, until he arrives at a certainty that this is the truth, then he goes back to His Lord to guide his heart, or until he dies with his disbelief in Allaah. He will return to Allaah and He shall call him to account. The most important thing is that he did not fight Allaah and His messengers sent with Islam nor hurt people by his evil. Allaah did not curse but the disbelievers who go against Allaah and the call of His messengers to worship Him alone and no partners with Him. And whoever hated His messengers and their call to worship Allaah alone no partners with Him, have hated the truth from their Lord and crossed the red lines, so let them know that whoever opposes Allaah, His messengers, and the believers will be tormented severely by Allaah. In line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted : {إِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ ﴿١٢﴾ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ ﴿١٣﴾ ذَٰلِكُمْ فَذُوقُوهُ وَأَنَّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ ﴿١٤﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوهُمُ الْأَدْبَارَ ﴿١٥﴾ وَمَن يُوَلِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ دُبُرَهُ إِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ أَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا إِلَىٰ فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَمَأْوَاهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿١٦﴾ } صدق الله العظيم [سورة الأنفال] Quran— Surah: al-Anfal — Verses: 12-16 And know with knowledge of certainty that Gaza, the miracle, is the graveyard of its Invaders. The truthful men around al-Aqsa will not be harmed by those who let them down and they will be victorious by the permission of Allaah, Lord of the worlds. All the devils of mankind will not be able to defeat them, and I have already issued this ruling, and it is due to Allaah to grant victory to the believers . Those helpless ones who were not fighting but the criminals destroyed their homes while they were inside them, are martyrs too in Paradise, but they are not equal in rank to those who fight for the sanctities of Allaah, in line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted : {لا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ ۚ فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ دَرَجَةً ۚ وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَفَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا ﴿٩٥﴾ دَرَجَاتٍ مِّنْهُ وَمَغْفِرَةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ﴿٩٦﴾ } صدق الله العظيم [سورة النساء]. Qur'an — Surah: an-Nisaa’ — Verses: 95-96 And know that what is happening in honorable Gaza is a test for humanity and for every alive heart among mankind that is aching out of the greatest violations in human rights by striking hospitals and killing babies and women and the elderly and the helpless, thus they destruct their houses while they are inside them, these are the human devils from the extremist criminal Zionists in the party of Satan. So know that children, women, the elderly, and the oppressed are not killed except by human devils whose hearts are like stones or harder, and whose hearts are devoid of the noble and beautiful qualities of human mercy, and that upon them is the curse of Allaah, the curse of His angels, and the curse of the people of humanity altogether . And Allaah made the massacre of Gaza a test for the hearts of humanitarian people around the world, whether they were Muslims, People of the Book, or humanitarian disbelievers, who carry within them the noble and beautiful human qualities, Allaah's disposition in the hearts of His merciful servants. But those who leave their humanity behind, their hearts are as hard as stones or even harder. They are corruption-spreading criminals on earth. You will find them killing children, women, and the helpless in equal measure, violating the norms and values of humanity, and violating the laws of war in all human rights, neglecting the sanctity of civilians. They do not observe toward a human any pact of kinship or covenant of protection, they have certainly earned the curse of Allaah, the angels, and people altogether. They want to make this a new evil practice in human wars: killing the children of generations in their wars. They want to destroy the rights of all of humanity, and none will support them and take them as allies except those who are like them from among the human devils, the enemies of humanity among the non-Arabs and Arabs. Having said that, fear Allaah, the Severe in punishment . Know that Planet Saqar will destroy the coldness of the coming winter, and the temperature will increase to reach 151 degrees, that is when you will officially enter the summer of Saqar. And I promise you an unfailing promise, you will experience it starting from the coming winter of 2023. Let not the trapped cold masses of air fool you, they will mingle with the climate of the summer of Saqar in 2023 AD corresponding to 1445 AH. You will surely know that I am not just flexing my writing and language skills. And know that to Allaah belongs the soldiers of the Heavens and the Earth, and know that victory is from Allaah, and know that Allaah will perfect His light to the dismay of wrongdoers. Certainly, enemies of Allaah cannot resist the war of Allaah and His allies. You surely cannot overcome the war of Allaah alone. Indeed, victory is from Allaah, the Best Helper and Supporter . All enemies of humanity, who violate human rights, will know that all power belongs to Allah and they will know who is more powerful and more excellent in plotting, is it the devil and his allies or Allah and His allies? In line with the Word of Allah the Exalted : {قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا ﴿٢٠﴾ قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا ﴿٢١﴾ قُلْ إِنِّي لَن يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا ﴿٢٢﴾ إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ ۚ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ﴿٢٣﴾ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا ﴿٢٤﴾ } صدق الله العظيم [سورة الجن]. Qur'an — Surah: al-Jinn — Verses: 20-24 I still command Muslims to be kind to the peaceful Jews who hate the devils of mankind who are hostile extremists in the party of Satan. You will know them when you see that they are enemies of those who believe and enemies of Allaah and His messengers after the truth became clear to them that it is the truth from their Lord, and they are enemies of humanity and their hearts are as hard as a stone because they do not have any mercy. They took Satan as an ally other than Allaah, but Satan's promises are nothing but deception . I am still commanding Muslims to be good to the peaceful humanitarian people altogether, and to Christians who are closest in affection to Muslims, and to merciful non-Muslims, thus Allaah brings about affection and mercy between you. In line with the Word of Allaah the Exalted : {عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُم مِّنْهُم مَّوَدَّةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ قَدِيرٌ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٧﴾ لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ ﴿٨﴾ إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ ﴿٩﴾ } صدق الله العظيم [سورة الممتحنة]. Qur'an — al-Mumtahanah— Verses: 7-9 And know with knowledge of certainty that Allaah sent His messengers and caliph Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani to be only mercy for the worlds. He made us not among those who seek superiority and corruption on Earth and the best end is for the pious. Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression and cause corruption in the land and unjustly shed people's blood and violate human rights in injustice and aggression . O Joseph Biden, the misguided, have not I warned you of becoming a plaything of the operator of the extremist Zionists in the party of Satan?! Extremist Zionists have fooled you and made you lose all those who elected you as President of the United States of America, do you think the extremist zionists elected you?! They elected Donald Trump, the devil and the most evil creature. On the other hand, Muslims and all peaceful Christians, peaceful Jews, and people of humanity elected you, Joseph Biden. However, Zionists made you lose the votes of all your allies, despite your submission to them out of ignorant chauvinism. No one will elect you if you run for the presidency again, neither people of humanity, not Zionists, the allies of Trump, they will never fulfill their promise to you because they are allies of Trump. Owing to your extreme idiocy, Netanyahu, the devil, deceived you and persuaded you that the Muslims will kill the Jews due to the downfall of Israel and he is a liar. Muslims will never go astray during the liberation of al-Aqsa Mosque while among them is Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani. And here I am saying it for the thousandth time: you and all leaders of mankind will roll out the red carpet in honour of receiving me, Allaah's global caliph on all nations Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani. So, go ahead and intercept planet Saqar, if you should be truthful, that will turn the next winter into the summer of Saqar, thus it increases the temperature to 151 degrees . I am repeating and reminding you that Saqar will make the temperature of the north pole reach 151 degrees. I have been warning you of the passing of planet Saqar for 19 years. And I have sworn to you by Allaah the One the Overpowering that I am not just flexing my writing skills and language when I write such statements. So get ready for the soldiers of Allaah and planet Saqar, and you will know who is weaker in allies and less in multitude. Also, you will know that all power belongs to Allaah. This is only for those who hold tight to Allaah, the Best Helper and Supporter. Certainly, Allaah will bend in humiliation the necks of the worlds in obedience to His caliph. Also, Allaah is to accomplish His purpose but most people do not know, and if you have a plot, use it against me, for what is your thought about him whom Allaah is with?! The best Helper and Supporter . Highly Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of Might, far above what they describe, and peace be on the Messengers, and praised is Allaah, the Lord of all the world Brother of the children of Adam in blood from Eve and Adam, Allaah's caliph over the whole world, Imam Mahdi; Nasser Mohammed al-Yamani

Imam Mahdi Nasser Mohammed Al-Yamani
