Former Golden State Warriors minority owner Chamath Palihapitiya says sports valuations will peak in 2024. Chamath Palihapitiya paid $25 million for a 10% stake in the Warriors in 2011. But he sold his stake in the team last year and most likely profited more than $250 million. This is something that could impact all professional sports teams — but let's use the NBA as an example. NBA teams used to trade at a 3-4x revenue multiple, but now they routinely trade at a 10x revenue multiple. Most people have ignored the NBA's multiple expansion because there are several powerful tailwinds at play. • Sports Betting • International expansion • Real estate development But TV money is MUCH more important. For example, NBA franchise valuations doubled overnight when the NBA announced its last media rights deal in 2014 — from $634 million to $1.1 billion. That's because 1) these deals only come up once every decade, and 2) media rights represent the majority of league revenue. But since media rights are so crucial to the growth of the NBA and its franchises, the same could be said about what will happen if media rights slow down. Everyone knows how valuable live sports are to the TV bundle — sports represented 96 out of the top 100 most-watched TV broadcasts last year. And even with the decline of the cable bundle, the idea has always been that the demand from linear networks, plus the addition of streaming companies, would drive media rights higher. That’s been true so far. The NFL recently added billions in revenue from deals with Amazon and Peacock, while Fox, CBS, NBC, and ESPN also increased their fees. But that doesn’t mean it will happen forever. Cable companies will soon reach a point where it doesn’t make financial sense to pay up for future rights, which is why you have already heard rumors that the NBA’s next media deal won’t be as big as they previously thought it would. Streaming companies also make more money off other endeavors, including Amazon’s genuine desire to have people join the Prime bundle. And bankruptcies across regional sports networks have already cost NBA, MLB, and NHL hundreds of millions in projected payments over the next decade. That's not to say the NBA won't grow. Expansion teams are on the horizon, providing each NBA owner with a ~$300 million payment. International growth is getting stronger — NBA China is now a $5 billion business — and that's without even mentioning the lucrative tax benefits these teams provide billionaire owners. But my point is simple... The media landscape is changing, and no one should expect NBA valuations to grow at the same rate they have over the last decade. (Ps.

PANG TV Channels Defy Gambling Advertisements Suspension as Rogue Stations Continue Broadcasting Unregulated Content Following the Betting Control and Licensing Board’s (BCLB) 30-day suspension of all gambling advertisements across Kenya, there is growing public concern about whether regulatory authorities will finally crack down on the often-overlooked PANG TV channels, which have long been notorious for airing aggressive and largely unchecked gambling and loan advertisements. These channels have become notorious for broadcasting aggressive and frequently unregulated gambling and loan advertisements, even during family and children’s programming. The ban, issued in response to a surge in gambling activity and addiction across the country, applies to all forms of media, including television, radio, digital platforms, print, and outdoor advertising. However, even hours after the suspension was announced, these gambling and loan advertisements continue to air across PANG channels, with many viewers reporting that they are still being broadcast as of today. PANG channels are television stations broadcast and distributed via the Pan-Africa Network Group (PANG) platform in Kenya. It is one of the two licensed Broadcasting Signal Distributors (BSDs) in the country and has been operational since 2011. It delivers digital terrestrial television (DTT) signals across Kenya, and when viewers scan their smart TVs with a regular aerial, a distinct cluster of channels labelled as “PANG channels” often appears. The Pan-Africa Network Group operates a national DTT platform with 23 transmission sites, covering over 75% of the Kenyan population. The company holds the largest number of assigned TV broadcasting frequencies in Kenya, having recently expanded its capacity to 129 frequencies. It supports a wide range of local broadcasters, offering content spanning news, entertainment, sports, children's shows, and more. PANG is majority-owned (93.75%) by StarTimes China Africa Digital TV Media Ltd, a subsidiary of the global media conglomerate StarTimes. In recent years, many of the TV stations carried on the PANG platform have gained a reputation for running voice-over gambling promotions, live betting shows, and loan advertisements from questionable microfinance institutions. These ads often air during non-designated hours, including times meant for general or child-friendly programming, raising alarm among parents, advocacy groups, and regulators. Despite the comprehensive nature of the ban, there remains public concern over whether authorities will adequately enforce it against indirect or embedded gambling promotions, such as real-time draws, animated betting pop-ups, and loan incentives disguised as entertainment content. Many Kenyans argue that these tactics continue to exploit regulatory grey areas, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups such as minors and low-income households, and are calling for decisive action to close enforcement loopholes and hold media platforms accountable. "Hi Nyakundi. Hii story ya betting advertising ban ni poa lakini hebu muulize kama itaapply pia kwa hizi PANG channels juu Every time nafungua TV ni betting that sahii ni voice over nonstop ama hizo loans za ‘pata 5k saa hii’ kila channel."

The Ellisons are now the most powerful family in the world. Paramount just acquired Warner Bros Discovery for $111 billion. Everyone's covering the Hollywood drama. The bidding war. The streaming wars... But what actually happened goes MUCH deeper: One family now controls CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, TikTok, and the cloud infrastructure that runs the US government. In less than 12 months. The Ellison family isn't a media company. They're a data company that just bought media as a front end. Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle. Worth $245 billion. Third richest person alive. Oracle runs the digital backbone of the US government. Department of Defense. Department of Energy. Air Force classified networks. They signed a $300 BILLION deal with OpenAI to build AI data centers. Their contracted future revenue jumped 438% to $523 billion. Oracle is quietly becoming the infrastructure layer for American AI. So why would the guy running all of that suddenly want to own CNN, HBO, and TikTok? Because AI needs data. Not server data. BEHAVIORAL data. What people watch. When they pause. What makes them click, scroll, and binge. Streaming platforms generate the most intimate behavioral data on Earth. TikTok is even worse. It knows what grabs your attention before you do (and guess who owns TikTok in the US?) Oracle's AI push creates a thirst for insight into how people consume content and what they buy. Streaming and social media deliver that at a scale nothing else can. This deal was never just about content. The financial engineering is insane: $47 billion in equity from the Ellison family. $57.5 billion in debt from Bank of America, Citigroup, and Apollo. A mix of investment-grade AND junk bonds, which is basically unheard of. Both Paramount and Warner Bros are losing hundreds of millions per quarter. Linear TV is dying. And they're duct-taping two sinking ships together with $57.5 billion in borrowed money. The political angle makes this even more interesting: David Ellison attended Trump's State of the Union two days before the deal closed. Larry Ellison sat next to Rupert Murdoch in the Oval Office with Trump. Trump endorsed them on camera: "Larry Ellison is great and his son David is great. They're friends of mine." The DOJ opened antitrust scrutiny on Netflix's bid. Not Paramount's. Paramount's press release said they have "confidence in the speed and certainty of regulatory approval." A company that's never done a deal this size is publicly guaranteeing regulatory clearance. And Netflix saw all of this. Sarandos flew to DC, met with AG Pam Bondi, and within hours walked away. Called it "no longer financially attractive." Corporate speak for "we can't compete with political access." In 12 months, one family now controls: - Oracle's government cloud - TikTok US - Paramount - CBS News - And now Warner Bros, HBO, CNN, and every cable channel from MTV to Cartoon Network The funny part is that Netflix stock jumped 10% when they quit. Wall Street is telling you Netflix dodged a bullet. Because here's what the market already figured out: The combined company will be CRUSHED under debt. Both studios are bleeding. And David Ellison, who has never run a profitable media company, is now in charge of the whole thing. The smart bet is this collapses within 3-5 years. And when it does, Netflix will be waiting with $2.8 billion in breakup fees already collected, ready to scoop up the pieces at a discount. But collapse or not, the Ellisons will already have what they came for... Years of behavioral data from hundreds of millions of users across streaming, social media, and news. Fed directly into Oracle's AI infrastructure. While everyone debates whether Batman and Harry Potter will be on the same app, the real play already happened. The guy who runs the government's cloud just bought the screen people stare at for 6 hours a day. The Ellisons are on a generational run.

I'm convinced that CNN actually stands for “Condescending News Network.” They are unnecessarily snarky & demeaning when they engage in debate because they really believe they're the smartest people in every room. Their crap attitudes are a result of catering to the elitist left, carving out an even more dogmatic niche audience than in previous years. The people they bring onto their panels and hire as contributors are so abrasively condescending that it's like second nature for them to hit you with a rude quip for the sake of exuding their self-perceived dominance over anyone who dares to challenge their egotism. Their high self-regard makes them equally loud and oblivious to how foolish they appear to outsiders when they are wrong. In a recent appearance, "Journalist" Toure, in a classic snobbish manner, repeatedly laced Scott Jennings with unnecessary condescending remarks. Classic one-liners like "Do I need to give you a civics lesson?" and "At some near point, this conversation is going to look very silly to you." Meanwhile, in typical deranged fashion, Toure is implying that Trump will put someone in charge of the military to do Trump's bidding...when Trump is already in charge of the military as the commander-in-chief. Speaking of unlikable snobs, CNN routinely features Washington Post's Catherine Rampell on roundtables to visually demonstrate her contempt for anyone disagreeing with her. My favorite moment was when she was sitting next to a successful businessman, Kevin O'Leary, and she's constantly interrupts him to tell him how business really works. Granted, she is a former associate economics professor and likely knows more than I do about economics. However, only a fool would think they know more about a given topic than a person who lives it day in and day out. It's like thinking that the sports announcer knows more about basketball than an NBA player. The icing on the cake is CNN anchor Jake Tapper coming out with a new book focused on the cognitive decline of Joe Biden during his administration when he made it a point to snide Lara Trump for saying the most obvious. The true irony is that Tappers' book is about how people weren’t allowed to talk about his mental decline, yet he was part of this enforcement. It's like the getaway driver complaining about the prevalence of bank robberies. So, I'm not being misunderstood: I have no problem with debates and passionate discussions surrounding politics and news. For me, it's not about a particular side and defending someone because of personal bias. I'm focusing on the decorum, or lack thereof, that exists in the mainstream media atmosphere. Since 2020, my political worldview has been molded by rejecting outright snobbery coming from the media and politicians alike. Part of the reason I started contributing to publications like the New York Post and Newsweek was because of how elitists in the media give bad faith interpretations about how Americans see the world. In other words, outlets like CNN have turned into an unlikable network and with every passing day, they repel viewers like they're broadcasting kryptonite. It's not just that their hosts and panelists have contempt for the people sitting across from them, but that air of disdain transmits through the cameras as well. It took me a while to contemplate why people still watch CNN, regardless of if you're on the political left or right. For some, it's the habit of watching legacy media that is difficult to quit. However, I believe the real audience they're catering to is the classical elitist who is familiar with speaking to people "below" them with an unabashed, condescending attitude. The reason most Americans are turning off the mainstream media for their information is because they've realized that the message coming across isn't for them anymore. It's for a class of Americans that enjoys being argumentative and ridiculing anyone they feel isn't on their level. This attitude is a massive turn off for most Americans. We get nothing from watching six to eight people yell over each other and laughing in the face of someone who has an opposing viewpoint. Normal people don't engage in this type of in-person demonizing and have a healthy amount of humility. The people on these networks aren't normal though, which is why they look alien to us. With the average CNN viewer being 67 addition to their lack of self-reflection, makes it inevitable that this legacy network will be put out to pasture. But don't worry, they'll blame us for their downfall. Accountability isn't the media's forte after all.

🚨 Who is behind the anti-ICE protests we’re seeing explode across the US? For years, I’ve been working independently but today I had the honor of working with a remarkable team at Fox News Digital, where I just joined as senior editor of investigations, and bring you back a story like none other I’ve been able to publish. I worked all day with video editor Nik Lanum and reporter Michael Dorgan -- please follow them! -- and we established, step-by-step that a network of groups – self-described as socialist, Marxist-Leninist or communist – are coordinating the multi-city mobilization that we’re seeing from NYC to Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Burlington, Vt., Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, vilifying Homeland Security @Sec_Noem and ICE officers and sowing discord on the streets. Read our story here and look at Nik’s photos, documenting the evidence: It’s reporting that you won’t see just about anywhere else, as most media outlets don't name the names of the groups behind the protests and don't identify the ideologies they embrace. Watch Nik’s video ⬇️ because, and you’ll see the receipts and you’ll hear the honest remarks of a young protestor we interviewed. "I personally identify as a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, following the teachings of [former communist China leader] Mao Zedong," said demonstrator Tye Burrus, 18, who held a handmade sign depicting a hammer and sickle smashing a giant ice cube. Burrus, a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation who self-identifies as a transgender woman, said losing faith in the Democrats and never having faith in the Republicans led to embracing communism. ​ "So now I am a communist," Burrus said. Going into the streets of the New York City protest and studying protests nationwide this is who we found from the far-left network: 1⃣ Freedom Road Socialist Organization FRSO | Freedom Road Socialist Organization – A self-described communist group immediately dispatched its members to the site of the killing in Minneapolis, and they are the ones behind clashes with ICE officers. The FBI has investigated the group – whose members wear distinct red swag marked with FRSO – as a "revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization," citing alleged ties to foreign Marxist-Leninist extremist groups, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Communist Party of the Philippines, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC. Link to the internal FBI documents made public 2⃣ The People's Forum -- Protest leaders arrived at AM, just before the 9 AM start for the protest in New York City, hauling two shopping carts full of bullhorns and pre-made black-and-white signs, printed with the message, "JUSTICE FOR RENEE NICOLE GOOD," and a photo of Good, with "PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION" across the bottom. It's a nonprofit activist hub for groups include ANSWER Coalition, and it's received funding from a tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It stage-managed most of the day's protest in NYC. 3⃣ Party for Socialism and Liberation Party for Socialism and Liberation -- Their organizers handed out the signs asking folks standing around: “Want a sign?” They organized protests across their national network, and they work closely with The People's Forum. 4⃣ Democratic Socialists of America DSA-- Its members joined the NYC march, wearing their distinct red beanies with DSA across the front, while its member NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeated the talking points of the socialist groups, saying the ICE officer “murdered” the woman. They are also organizing protests across their national network. 5⃣ Revolutionary Internationalist Youth from City University of New York -- The carried handmade signs and copies of their newspaper, "The Revolution," which said they promoted "the program of Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky." 6⃣ Spartacist League members from the U.S. chapter of the International Communist League – They distributed copies of "Workers Vanguard," which calls itself a "Marxist Newspaper" The socialist-adjacent groups joining them in using this moment to organize protests are: 7⃣ Indivisible Guide ❌👑 – Closely aligned with the Democratic Party, it organized #HandsOff #NoKings marches all year and is now organizing protests nationwise. 8⃣ 50501 – It also organized #TeslaTakedown protests against Elon Musk and is throwing its muscle behind anti-ICE protests. 9⃣ Refuse Fascism – They moved through the crowd in NYC, handing out slick, freshly printed pamphlets titled "The People’s Indictment of Donald Trump," Why does it matter to know these names? Stu Smith Stu Smith, a Manhattan Institute researcher who studies domestic extremism, explained, "I just wish the average American realized that there is a network of far-left agitators in America who are Marxist-Leninists, socialists, Maoists and even North Korean apologists.” "As these ideologues say, the issue is never the issue,” he told us. “It’s all about the revolution. After this terrible situation in Minneapolis, they used social media and their networks to mobilize and get on the streets to hurt America.” You’ve heard me say it before. Look at the evidence yourself. Read the signs shared by journalists like Andy Ngo. Follow the money with data scienctists like DataRepublican (small r). Study the breadcrumbs. I’m honored to work with this team to bring our reporting from the streets back to you.

"I personally identify as a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, following the teachings of [former communist China leader] Mao Zedong," said demonstrator Tye Burrus, 18, who held a handmade sign depicting a hammer and sickle smashing a giant ice cube. Burrus, a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation who self-identifies as a transgender woman, said losing faith in the Democrats and never having faith in the Republicans led to embracing communism. ​ "So now I am a communist," Burrus said. Going into the streets of the New York City protest and studying protests nationwide this is who we found from the far-left network: 1⃣ Freedom Road Socialist Organization FRSO | Freedom Road Socialist Organization – A self-described communist group immediately dispatched its members to the site of the killing in Minneapolis, and they are the ones behind clashes with ICE officers. The FBI has investigated the group – whose members wear distinct red swag marked with FRSO – as a "revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization," citing alleged ties to foreign Marxist-Leninist extremist groups, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Communist Party of the Philippines, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC. Link to the internal FBI documents made public 2⃣ The People's Forum -- Protest leaders arrived at AM, just before the 9 AM start for the protest in New York City, hauling two shopping carts full of bullhorns and pre-made black-and-white signs, printed with the message, "JUSTICE FOR RENEE NICOLE GOOD," and a photo of Good, with "PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION" across the bottom. It's a nonprofit activist hub for groups include ANSWER Coalition, and it's received funding from a tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It stage-managed most of the day's protest in NYC. 3⃣ Party for Socialism and Liberation Party for Socialism and Liberation -- Their organizers handed out the signs asking folks standing around: “Want a sign?” They organized protests across their national network, and they work closely with The People's Forum. 4⃣ Democratic Socialists of America DSA-- Its members joined the NYC march, wearing their distinct red beanies with DSA across the front, while its member NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeated the talking points of the socialist groups, saying the ICE officer “murdered” the woman. They are also organizing protests across their national network. 5⃣ Revolutionary Internationalist Youth from City University of New York -- The carried handmade signs and copies of their newspaper, "The Revolution," which said they promoted "the program of Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky." 6⃣ Spartacist League members from the U.S. chapter of the International Communist League – They distributed copies of "Workers Vanguard," which calls itself a "Marxist Newspaper" The socialist-adjacent groups joining them in using this moment to organize protests are: 7⃣ Indivisible Guide ❌👑 – Closely aligned with the Democratic Party, it organized #HandsOff #NoKings marches all year and is now organizing protests nationwise. 8⃣ 50501 – It also organized #TeslaTakedown protests against Elon Musk and is throwing its muscle behind anti-ICE protests. 9⃣ Refuse Fascism – They moved through the crowd in NYC, handing out slick, freshly printed pamphlets titled "The People’s Indictment of Donald Trump," Why does it matter to know these names? Stu Smith Stu Smith, a Manhattan Institute researcher who studies domestic extremism, explained, "I just wish the average American realized that there is a network of far-left agitators in America who are Marxist-Leninists, socialists, Maoists and even North Korean apologists.” "As these ideologues say, the issue is never the issue,” he told us. “It’s all about the revolution. After this terrible situation in Minneapolis, they used social media and their networks to mobilize and get on the streets to hurt America.” You’ve heard me say it before. Look at the evidence yourself. Read the signs shared by journalists like Andy Ngo. Follow the money with data scienctists like DataRepublican (small r). Study the breadcrumbs. I’m honored to work with this team to bring our reporting from the streets back to you.

#PahlaviTerrorists #فرقه_تروریستی_پهلوی Open Letter to the Honourable Pierre Poilievre December 26, 2025 OPEN LETTER: Reza Pahlavi’s network shut down your Vancouver event on February 9, 2024 cc: Chief Constable Steve Rai Vancouver Police Andrew Scheer CSIS Canada Stephen Harper Melissa Lantsman The Vancouver Sun Rebel News Canada CanAm Network Dear Mr. Poilievre, Records I recently obtained through a series of orders of the Supreme Court of British Columbia(the most recent granted on December 15, 2025) objectively establish that your Vancouver Persian community meet-and-greet on February 9, 2024 was shut down by Reza Pahlavi’s networks. I am writing this publicly because this represents a new level of atrocity by these networks. They are already notorious for coordinated attacks on Iranian pro-democracy activists, which is why they are before the Supreme Court of BC and why Reza Pahlavi faced two conclusive judgments against him on October 16, 2025. But shutting down the public event of a national political leader on the verge of elections in Canada is an escalation into direct interference with Canadian democratic life. When a Canadian federal political leader like you can be forced out of a venue through intimidation—particularly if the same actors can penetrate political communities through relationship-based access while coordinating venue tracking, harassment, and intimidation with a designated terrorist entity and against the same communities—then Canada has a sovereignty and public-safety problem, which goes beyond any partisan boundaries. On February 9, 2024, Reza Pahlavi’s networks acted through premeditated political intimidation orchestrated on the ground by two individuals: Arezou Soltani of North Vancouver and Mehdi Ahmadzadeh of Maple Ridge, who jointly led a local Pahlavi-affiliated group registered in British Columbia as Canadian Iranian Wakuppers Foundation (the “Wakuppers”). Those disclosed records from the Wakuppers’ WhatsApp group chat show: · real-time tracking of your appearance, · active efforts to locate the venue while you were speaking, · celebratory messaging after the shutdown, and · Mehdi Ahmadzadeh’s own voice message, in which he vividly describes and boasts about assaults, pushing, intimidation and dragging the attendees “into dust and blood”. You remember that night. Barely seconds after you began your remarks at: True Confections Denman, 866 Denman St, Vancouver, BC V6G 2L9, the disruption started by Hamas supporters and the scene changed instantly. The event had been anticipated as roughly a 90-minute meet-and-greet. Instead, you were forced to cut your entire remarks down to roughly 15 minutes and escorted out by your security team early. You also tried to defuse the disruption and offered a fair compromise—words to the effect of: “Let me give my remarks, and during Q&A you can ask your questions.” They refused. You then called it out on the spot—“It seems we have the Iranian regime here,” and referred to them as “IRGC supporters.” You were right, but that was not the full reality. What happened that night was not just “IRGC people showed up.” It was a coordinated operation involving collaboration between IRGC-aligned Hamas supporters on the ground and a local Pahlavi network behind the scenes, with Soltani and Ahmadzadeh operating as the on-the-ground masterminds. What you did not know prior to reading this letter—and what I only fully understood lately, following the Court-ordered disclosures—is that the shutdown was indeed orchestrated by the Pahlavi networks. Here is the blunt truth: Out of expressed hostility, they handed the location to Hamas supporters, who then arrived and executed the shutdown. They were the visible shock-troops on the ground; the venue-locating and mobilization came from the Wakuppers led by the Pahlavi operatives, Soltani and Ahmadzadeh. With all that said: · It is striking that Reza Pahlavi had previously tried to portray himself publicly as a proponent of your political rise and access to the Iranian community, and that he met with you in or about March 2023. Yet the evidence now shows that local circles aligned with him were behind the disruption and shutdown of your February 9, 2024 event. · It is also striking that the same local circle, namely, the Wakuppers, includes Mary Hakimi, the partner of Doug Horne, a former Conservative MLA—an obvious access channel into Conservative circles. Through court-ordered production, I have also obtained a photograph showing Arezou Soltani and Mehdi Ahmadzadeh in close proximity to you. I am informed they obtained backstage access to you through the Mary Hakimi / Doug Horne connection. Another matter you may not be aware of is that these same circles use MEK-labelling exactly the way the Islamic Republic does: as a weapon to intimidate, discredit, and socially isolate Iranian pro-democracy activists—and, when convenient, to smear Conservative politicians and MPs as well. To that point, the Wakuppers’ group chat content I obtained includes foul and contemptuous language directed at the Conservative Party of Canada and at senior Conservative figures, such as the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, including condemning the shutting down of the Islamic Republic’s embassyand advancing pro-IRGC narratives, in the guise of the same MEK-labelling described above. Representative portions are included as appendices by way of certified translation. I should say that all these records and relevant orders were obtained despite persistent efforts by Soltani and Ahmadzadeh—and their counsel, Nojan Kamoosi—to obstruct accountability and distort the process through false and misleading sworn materials. In my proceedings, I have had to confront multiple affidavits that were perjured and specifically designed by Nojan Kamoosi and his law firm to derail proper adjudication, prevent disclosure, and mislead the Court. I assume your office will treat this new disclosure about the February 9, 2024 shutdown as a serious public-order and democratic-integrity concern, and will coordinate with the Vancouver Police Department (and any other appropriate agencies) to ensure that the relevant records are secured and reviewed. I also formally request that your office take immediate steps to ensure the preservation of all relevant records relating to the February 9, 2024 shutdown, for the purpose of ongoing litigation, Action S-246401, against Reza Pahlavi and his network (including co-defendants Soltani and Ahmadzadeh, among others), which addresses their engagement in political violence and intimidation in Canada. This preservation request includes, without limitation: · security incident notes and internal reports; · communications with organizers and any third-party intermediaries about the incident; and · access logs and records relating to who facilitated Soltani’s and Ahmadzadeh’s backstage access to you on Feb 9, 2024; to the extent such records are within your control or can be preserved through timely requests to the relevant custodians. For ease of review, I will provide the following appendices with this open letter: Appendix A: Certified translations of relevant WhatsApp text messages involving Mary Hakimi (Doug Horne’s partner), Arezou Soltani, and Mehdi Ahmadzadeh (including venue-locating and celebratory messaging), dated Feb 9-10, 2024. Appendix B: Link to Mehdi Ahmadzadeh’s voice message of Feb 10, 2024 (as produced). Appendix C: Certified translation of Ahmadzadeh’s voice message of Feb 10, 2024. Appendix D: Photograph showing Arezou Soltani and Mehdi Ahmadzadeh in close proximity to the Honourable Pierre Poilievre (presumably taken on Feb 9, 2025). Appendix E: Photograph of Reza Pahlavi with the Honourables Pierre Poilievre and Melissa Lantsman (presumably taken in March 2023). Appendix F: Vancouver lawyer, Nojan Kamoosi of Allen / McMillan Litigation Counsel; Counsel for Soltani Appendix G: Representative certified translations showing foul language and hostile messaging directed at the Conservative Party and Conservative figures, including discussions condemning the shutting down of the Islamic Republic’s embassy. Appendix H: Affidavit #18 of Masood Masjoody in Action S-246401, Masjoody v. Pahlavi, et al., filed December 12, 2025 A copy of this letter is being provided to the Vancouver Police Department. Respectfully, Masood Masjoody, Ph.D. President and Founder of UNHRC Dossier Burnaby, British Columbia #جاوید_ایران

Here's why $NEAR is a no-brainer in 2025 👇 Everybody loves NEAR Protocol and there is a reason for that (or many). Near is well-positioned to be one of the leading blockchain ecosystems this year. Let’s explore the “whys”. TIMESTAMPS Quick Bio – 00:00:15 Inflation Reduction Proposal – 00:00:43 Technically Speaking – 00:02:40 Near Intents – 00:03:37 Chain Signatures and AI – 00:04:39 Decentralization and DeFi – 00:05:59 I have my Near account since March 2023, but it has been inactive for a while, as I was focused on other stuff. However, the recent inflation halving proposal by HOT DAO (HOT Protocol 🔥) and LiNEAR (LiNEAR Protocol) brought my eyes back to the project and I really like what I’m seeing. So, here’s my first point. If this proposal passes, NEAR could lead the way in what appears to be a market trend of improving the tokenomics, as more and more experts realize holders have been overpaying for these networks' security, with a too high supply inflation. Solana tried something similar, but the proposal was rejected. In my opinion, validators voting favorably to that show a commitment to the chain for the long term. On the other hand, voting against it signals a short-term vision focused on milking the emissions as much as possible, at the ecosystem’s expense. The voting currently goes with 28% “YEA” votes, needing 66.76% to pass. Most of the validators who already cast their votes went with the yes. 2pilot, avb, openshards, qbit, sicmundus, fox, and intear are, so far, the only seven who voted “NAY”. This proposal has the vocal support of most influential figures in the Near ecosystem, including the Near Foundation (NEAR Foundation), led by Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈), which makes me believe it will pass and show the power of the halving in getting the market’s attention and presenting a huge investment asymmetry for the native token right now. Is this everything I like about NEAR? Definitely not. This is just what got me looking at it again, just to discover a (very much) thriving ecosystem, full of interesting things happening at the same time. I’ll mention a few, but there is (much) more. Technically speaking, Near is a high-performance blockchain, with really low fees and one of the fastest finalities, with 600ms block time and approximately 1.8s finality. It also has my favorite architecture for internet-scale scalability, using sharding, while keeping a high decentralization standard. As a learning programmer, Near also has one of the best dev experiences (in my limited opinion). The documentation is clear, has a logical journey, presenting from the basic anatomy in details to more complex SDKs and tools. I’m also in love with the near-cli-rs. A command line interface program written in Rust for seamless interaction with the Near blockchain. Allowing wallet creation, chain query, sending transactions, staking, smart contract calls, and more. Near Intents. This was the second thing to get my attention, while studying the project again, and it sets a whole new standard for blockchain interactions, especially cross-chain. Basically, users can declare an intention (for example, swap Ethereum-USDT to Bitcoin) and a network of solvers, running on Near, will find the best path to accomplish this task. We recently saw an impressive 465k-worth swap happening in exactly this example, paying 0.55% of trading fees to thorswap.near and swapkit.near. According to a Dune Dashboard, the protocol accumulates nearly $400 million in volume since its launch not long ago, in November 2024. *obs.: half this volume was achieved in the last month. Massive! Near Intents is possible due to two other very interesting things: (i) Chain abstraction, and (ii) a solid AI infrastructure. Chain abstraction (via Chain Signatures) is a powerful interoperability feature, allowing Near to friendly connect different blockchains as if they were part of a single network. Users and devs benefit from wallet, address, fees, and cross-chain bridges abstractions - not even noticing they are interacting with multiple chains. One wallet that powers everything. Powered by Near. On AI, Near is just built differently. Not for the hype, but for the solution. The team has been looking for AI solutions much before the ChatGPT fever. Actually, they started as an AI company, pivoting to blockchain later. So, being one of the most promising networks for the growing AI economy was just the natural path to follow. There is an extensive and super complete research piece on that topic, recently published by Reflexivity Research (Reflexivity Research) on July 1st. It presents Near as an AI-optimized blockchain, covering AITP, Shade Agents, x402, Near Intents, and more. Definitely worth the reading. Wrapping up this content with one more aspect that really matters to me is how Near remains truthful to decentralization, data ownership, censorship-resistance and open-source primitives that have been increasingly abandoned by other key players. A simple example of that is how the Near Foundation decided to deprecate its public APIs, encouraging the surge of a more decentralized and competitive market of SaaS projects, with a highlight to Lava Network, that recently appeared in my timeline talking about that. DeFi is also huge on Near, leveraging all the previous properties I mentioned, creating a truly decentralized liquidity pool via Rhea Finance, connected with other chains like BTC, Ethereum, ZCash, and more. All that contributes to Near having the second-largest monthly active addresses, with nearly 50 million, only losing to Solana’s nearly 90 million. In the meantime, NEAR, the token, is not even at the 30rd position by market cap. Crazy stuff. To (finally) wrap it up, I also want to mention Near’s consensus decentralization. While having a low node-count, the network has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 11, which is not bad at all. Surely, there is still room for improvement, which is possible as becoming a validator is accessible staking and hardware-wise.

Pakistan, China Exploits Balochistan’s Gold For Bad By: Mir Yar Baloch 9 July, 2025, We are deeply concerned by a disturbing report from Baloch media outlet Humgaam News, revealing that the #Saindak and #Reko_Diq mining operations, jointly controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and the Pakistani military establishment, have begun the systematic dismissal of hundreds of local Baloch employees, many of whom have served in these mines for over 18 years. According to the latest findings, 15 Baloch workers have been coerced into resigning under sustained pressure from non-local senior officials, backed by Pakistan’s deep state and the ISI. Even more troubling, several remaining Baloch employees have reportedly been threatened with forcible removal from the Saindak mining premises should they refuse to accept reduced wages. These developments reflect a dangerous pattern of discrimination and economic displacement targeting the indigenous workforce. It is deeply alarming to learn that Baloch individuals are now systematically excluded from employment in companies operating on their own land, enterprises primarily owned by Beijing and partly held by the Canadian-based Barrick Gold Corporation with share about 7$ Billion. This exclusion reflects not only institutional discrimination but also what appears to be a calculated international collusion aimed at economically marginalizing the indigenous Baloch population of over 60 million. By depriving them of livelihoods and access to their own resources, these actions are deliberately pushing the Baloch people toward starvation, poverty, and socio-economic extinction. We call upon the international community to stand in solidarity with the Baloch nation, which has long exposed the ruthless exploitation carried out under the pretext of the so-called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Justice demands that the world no longer remain silent in the face of such orchestrated dispossession. It is nearly impossible to determine the exact volume of gold, copper, and iron being systematically extracted by Pakistan and China from Balochistan on a daily basis. This is largely due to the absence of any local refining or mineral separation infrastructure within the Republic of Balochistan. From four of Balochistan’s largest gold mines, extraction operations run continuously in three shifts, day and night. The raw ore is melted, cast into massive 700-kilogram blocks, marked with serial numbers, and discreetly transported to China. The precise quantity of gold being procured daily by Chinese firms remains undisclosed, not only to the general public of Pakistan but also to the legitimate representatives of the Baloch people and independent media outlets. This joint operation by Pakistan and China is shrouded in secrecy and executed with calculated precision. Yet, as the old adage goes, no matter how sophisticated the thief, a trace is always left behind. The staggering scale of wealth being siphoned off from Balochistan is evidenced by the vast fortunes accumulated by Pakistan’s military elite, trillions of rupees in undeclared assets stashed in Swiss bank accounts and expansive business holdings across Australia, Dubai, London, and other global financial centers. Moreover, the billions of dollars generated from the illicit extraction of Balochistan’s gold and copper are being funneled into Pakistan’s strategic and military ambitions, funding the security of its nuclear arsenal, the development of advanced missile systems, and the professional expansion of its naval forces. This covert economic exploitation not only robs Balochistan of its rightful wealth but also fuels regional instability under the guise of sovereign development. Balochistan’s resources misused by Pakistan for terror ambitions Under the guise of development and economic progress, Pakistan and China have, for over seven decades, systematically occupied and exploited the vast natural resources of Balochistan. Rather than heeding the voices of the Baloch people, who have courageously resisted this relentless plunder, the international community has largely turned a blind eye. The humanitarian crisis and economic devastation borne by the Baloch nation as a result of this exploitation are nothing short of harrowing, evoking deep anguish and outrage. In Balochistan, Beijing and Islamabad are enacting policies that mirror, and in some respects surpass, the colonial atrocities once committed by Belgium in the Congo, Britain in India, and France in Algeria. Those nations, India, Congo, Algeria, and many other, have since broken the chains of imperial domination, yet the brutal legacy of foreign exploitation remains etched in the annals of history. Today, Pakistan and China are pursuing the same imperial blueprint: transforming Balochistan into a de facto colony. They are not only looting its mineral wealth but also orchestrating the cultural erasure, historical distortion, and systematic genocide of the Baloch people. The silence of the global community in the face of such grave injustice is both alarming and morally indefensible. Very few examples of the ruthless economic exploitation plans of former imperial powers are as follows. Belgium in the Congo (1885–1960) In 1885, King Leopold II of Belgium formally acquired rights to the Congo region from the colonial powers of Europe and declared the land his private property, naming it the "Congo Free State." From 1885 to 1908, his colonial army forced the local population into rubber production and committed widespread atrocities. In 1908, Leopold handed over the territory to the Belgian government, thereby turning it into a Belgian colony. According to reports received from Brussels, the capital of Belgium, officials from the national prosecutor's office stated on Thursday, September 10, 2020, that a domestic court has now issued a final order to return one of the two teeth stolen after Patrice Lumumba’s assassination to his surviving family members. The whereabouts of the second stolen tooth remain unknown. Today, Pakistan and China are engaged in the systematic exploitation of Balochistan’s natural resources, estimated to be worth trillions of dollars, while committing grave human rights violations against the Baloch people. However, their actions will not go unchallenged. Just as a Belgian court recently ordered the return of the teeth of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba as a symbolic act of justice, a day will come when Pakistan and China will be held accountable for their occupation and compelled to return the wealth they have unjustly extracted from Balochistan. Britain in India (1757–1947) Bharat’s textile and agricultural wealth were siphoned to Britain. The British imposed heavy taxes and policies that deindustrialized India. Indians were often denied administrative jobs and forced into low-paying roles; famines worsened due to cash crop policies and any resistance to colonial exploitation, such as the uprising of 1857, was brutally suppressed. Following Pakistan’s forcible occupation of the once free and sovereign state of Balochistan, we are witnessing a troubling repetition of extractive practices, now jointly pursued by the PLA of China. Much like the British East India Company, which was eventually compelled to leave India after prolonged exploitation, the occupation, supported by foreign corporations and strategic interests, cannot be sustained indefinitely. The presence of these external actors in Balochistan lacks legal and moral legitimacy, and a time will come when they will be held accountable under international norms and compelled to withdraw. France in Algeria (1830–1962) From 1830 to 1962, France maintained a brutal colonial rule over Algeria, marked by military conquest, economic exploitation, and systemic repression of the indigenous population. French settlers seized vast tracts of fertile land, displacing millions of Algerians and reducing them to second-class citizens in their own country. The colonial administration prioritized French interests, using Algeria’s natural resources and labor to benefit France while denying Algerians basic rights, education, and political representation. Resistance was met with severe violence. In 2021, President Emmanuel Macron admitted that French forces committed "state-level" violence and abuses during the Algerian War of Independence (1954–1962), including accepting responsibility for specific incidents such as the murder of Ali Boumendjel. Balochistan Calls for Global Action Against Pakistan’s State-Sponsored Exploitation In a world increasingly alert to the threats of drug trafficking, the catastrophic consequences of climate change, and the corrosive influence of organized criminal networks, the people of Balochistan are calling on the international community to recognize a grave and growing danger: the state of Pakistan. Disguised as a sovereign nation and cloaked in the legitimacy of United Nations membership, Pakistan has evolved into a global syndicate, one that poses a malignant threat to international peace and security. Just as nations rightly safeguard their own citizens and national interests, it is imperative to confront Pakistan’s destabilizing role and its state-sponsored economic terrorism. The illicit extraction of Balochistan’s mineral resources, amounting to billions of dollars, is not merely theft; it is a calculated enterprise that fuels Pakistan’s militarization, including the development of nuclear weapons and other advanced armaments. Alarmingly, there are credible indications that Pakistan is now contemplating the sale of such dangerous technologies to regimes like Iran and Turkey in exchange for financial gain. Much like the narcotics trade, which spreads chaos through opium and heroin profits, Pakistan’s resource exploitation finances instruments of war and repression. It is, therefore, a moral and strategic necessity to bring Pakistan before the court of global conscience. Simultaneously, the international community must recognize and support Balochistan, not merely as a victim of occupation, but as a future-oriented partner committed to fostering regional peace, stability, and the eradication of terrorism through sincere and responsible engagement. #BalochistanIsNotPakistan #FreeBalochistanMovement BBC News (World) Fox News Humgaam News The New York Times Bloomberg WION Balochwarna News Hyrbyair Marri Zee News Times Now Navbharat TIMES NOW Times Algebra Department of State The Statesman Chanakya Forum ABP माझा ABP News Hindustan Times NewsX World India News Hananya Naftali Israel News Pulse MEMRI The Times Of India Times Of Balochistan Times Now Batmya Economic Times NewsX World BBC News (World) Dr. S.

dave meltzer: youtube enthusiast 💀 perfect. now we can stop pretending this was ever complicated. the real story is not that wwe is afraid of aew. the real story is not that “high level wwe officials” are whispering scary things to dave meltzer. the real story is not even that tony khan got asked a planted question on a media call with very little distribution about the possibility of aew soon having very little distribution, although that sentence is so stupidly perfect it should be bronzed and placed outside the wrestling observer newsletter office like a war memorial for people who died pretending this was journalism. the real story is that aew is going to lose its wbd distribution deal. either it ends at the expiration of the three-year term in 2027, or it ends earlier if paramount closes wbd and decides aew has no strategic place inside the new company. and based on the board as it exists right now, the most likely landing spot for aew in 2027 is google / youtube. that is the story. everything else is laundering. tony khan wants the story to be: “why would wwe say this about us?” that is the whole operation. take my public analysis. run it through dave meltzer. assign it to wwe / tko. then let tony khan answer a canned question on a media call with very little distribution about potentially having very little distribution. a media call for a lightly viewed roh show. a planted story. a planted messenger. a rehearsed answer. a pr flack probably wrote it. tony khan performs hurt. tony khan says “i don’t know why wwe would…” tony khan denies the obvious. tony khan keeps me minimized. tony khan removes me from the public conversation about the exact thing i have repeatedly said is going to happen to aew. everyone is supposed to pretend this is organic. it is not. it is the most bubble wrapped, manufactured, artificial environment possible. aew is heading toward youtube because the domestic media rights board is closing around them. not as a troll. not as a bit. not as “pr spin.” as a business conclusion. aew is not leverage. wwe is not afraid of aew. the $185 million number was bullshit. the buyer universe was shrinking. paramount / skydance was coming for wbd. wbd was not going to be some permanent aew safe house. youtube was only ever a real “option” if someone at google was actually cutting a media rights check and underwriting production. not because every divorced mom with a ring light and a gmail account can upload video to the same platform. that was always the distinction. that is still the distinction. Nick LoPiccolo — February 28, 2025 “YouTube is an option the same way you or I could start a YT channel tomorrow. Is Jon Cruz cutting AEW a media rights check or underwriting a production budget? Hell no. Just the reality. It isn’t the model. Jon is global head of sports over there.” that was february, not last week. not after dave meltzer suddenly discovered youtube prelim numbers like columbus finding the new world. it is becoming inevitable now. Nick LoPiccolo — April 30, 2026 — 11:26 AM — 251.2K Views “to every journalist and every podcast who interviews tony khan from this day forward: please ask tony if wbd told him back in august they would not be renewing aew. wbd told him in august. i confirmed it directly and triple sourced it. please ask why tony has been acting like nothing is wrong for the last 8 months, and then please ask tony what his actual distribution plan is. because the only distributor left that will take aew is google/youtube. the myaew app is not realistic. the my aewapp is a death sentence in 2026 if youtube doesn’t make an mg deal for aew. they started building it too late and there is no realistic way to scale it. also, who is going to sell ads for the platform? kiswe is not the best. they built the myaew app. they are new to the game. hold tony’s feet to the fire. Paramount is not real for aew. WBD passed back in August. CW/Roku is now off the table. Amazon and Fox do not want AEW. ask Tony why he's been lying to you and to the locker room and to the fans, acting like things are all great with the network? i am sure a lot of people would love to hear his answer.” april 30. 251.2k views. not whispered. not hidden. not vague. not “high level wwe officials.” i said it publicly and directly: wbd passed back in august. paramount is not real for aew. cw / roku is off the table. amazon and fox do not want aew. the myaew app is not realistic. google / youtube is the only distributor left on the board that makes sense. that is the actual story tony khan does not want to answer. not “why would wwe say this?” ask tony khan if wbd told him in august that wbd would not be renewing aew. ask what his actual distribution plan is. ask who is selling ads for the myaew app. ask how a platform built this late scales in 2026. ask whether youtube is an actual rights partner with an mg, or just the place you go when the real buyers are gone. that is the question. not the fake question dave meltzer laundered into “high level wwe officials.” the real question. Nick LoPiccolo — July 9, 2025 — 10:51 AM — 9,565 Views “No one in Hollywood believes the $185 million number.” Nick LoPiccolo — July 9, 2025 — 11:35 AM — 7,470 Views “The $185 million figure is inflated. Variety’s October 2, 2024 article was likely updated after a publicist called on AEW’s behalf, as early reports placed the deal between $140 and $150 million per year. Tony Khan was also included in Variety’s Dealmakers 2024 list, which, while not officially pay to play, strongly favors those spending significant advertising dollars with the outlet. No one in Hollywood seriously believes WBD, which is in junk bond status, is paying AEW $185 million per year. Clear enough?” clear enough? the number was never clean. the number was never real in the way aew fans and wrestling media pretended it was real. and when the $185 million number started getting laughed out of adult rooms, the number magically became $178 million. that is where the shell game gets funny. because $178 million was not some sacred sourced number either. it was brandon thurston taking the median between $170 million, reported by sports business journal, and $185 million, reported by variety and others. that is literally what wrestlenomics said. Wrestlenomics — October 4, 2024 “Why use $178 million here for AEW’s new deal when some outlets are reporting the average annual value is $185 million?” Wrestlenomics — October 4, 2024 “I used $178 million here because it is simply the median of $170 million, as reported by Sports Business Journal, and $185 million, reported by Variety and others.” there it is. arithmetic. not an all-cash rights fee. not a clean license number. not proof wbd valued aew like raw. not a finance-department document from warner bros. discovery. a midpoint between conflicting public reports. then wrestling media treated that midpoint like scripture because they needed the story to be “aew is valued like raw,” not “aew pr inflated a number no serious person in hollywood believed.” and by the way, $170 million was not the clean all-cash number either. that is the scam. float the number. repeat the number. launder the number. defend the number with people who do not understand the difference between cash rights fees, in-kind services, equity, marketing commitments, platform value, make-goods, ad inventory, and press release math. then when the number collapses, pretend the next number was always the number. that is not reporting. that is aew state news. Nick LoPiccolo — July 10, 2025 — 5:53 AM — 12.6K Views “AEW isn’t leverage. It’s not competition. It’s a niche product with loud fans and limited reach.” Nick LoPiccolo — July 10, 2025 — 8:56 AM — 1,018 Views “We handle wrestling deals too, but thinking we need AEW for leverage is myopic. The landscape is changing and the game I’m playing is different.” Nick LoPiccolo — July 15, 2025 — 25.7K Views “AEW isn’t leverage.” that was never emotional. that was never tribal. that was never “i hate aew.” it was market structure. wwe did not need aew as leverage because real leverage was never “another wrestling show exists.” real leverage is architecture, scale, subscriber churn, platform strategy, sports adjacency, global rights, advertising, sponsorship, live inventory, library value, data, brand safety, executive relationships, and the actual buyer universe of maybe 18-20 companies in the united states that matter for live sports rights. aew fans thought this was a wrestling argument. it was never a wrestling argument. it was a board. and the board was already moving. Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 482 Views “I wasn’t viewing the above in that context (TKO vs AEW counter programming), it was more of this is what I’m hearing after 2 weeks of big media deals rolling out (Skydance closing, South Park library moving) etc. Which have all been in the works for awhile.” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 388 Views “But if you were to look at it from a counter programming perspective (and I don’t think this was a factor in UFC deal) - there are only so many players for these big media rights deals. PARA is likely off the board (via TKO deal) & then what if they acquire WB in 2026/27?” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 535 Views “Yes, of course, that wouldn’t mean the end for AEW. It would make navigating their media rights deal more challenging, I would guess. But this is a hypothetical scenario & I do not believe anyone is paying $7.7b for UFC or a $40b valuation for WB w/ how do we fuck AEW, either.” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 “And hearing all weekend Paramount is still interested in WBD.” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 1.3K Views “I think more interesting for what it could mean as the dominoes keep falling in terms of the still evolving landscape. The deals are massive & the number of major players at the top are shrinking as still big push for consolidation & scale.” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 12:11 PM — 2,588 Views “And I’d view AAA on Google/YouTube as directly competitive. It targets both the CMLL collab & the audience that used to watch AEW Dark on YouTube, & WWE is able to send well known stars to AAA events with an eye towards converting more of the younger, YouTube demo of viewers who don’t watch streamers.” again: august 11. not yesterday. not after dave meltzer tweeted a netflix prelim number. not after anyone had to retrofit the argument. the point was already there: the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, paramount was likely off the board for aew because of the tko deal, google / youtube was becoming directly competitive for the exact audience aew used to reach through dark, and the buyer universe was consolidating around deals much bigger than tony khan’s feelings. this was not mysticism. this was not inside baseball for the sake of sounding smart. this was the board. Nick LoPiccolo — August 24, 2025 “This isn’t fair. I misread your question. AEW will exist but likely on the Discovery Global app (if it ever launches, I would bet that it doesn’t) and it will continue to do consistent ratings. If Paramount/Skydance buys WBD in a year…” Nick LoPiccolo — September 4, 2025 — 76 Views “No, that’s the WBD network division (cable, news, sports) that was already announced as being spun off under Discovery Global. The article you’re citing is about them selling a minority equity stake in that unit to cut debt and boost valuation ahead of the 2026 split.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 16, 2025 — 3.6K Views “This is not just about Hollywood scale. It is the foundation of a conservative aligned media infrastructure. A Paramount/WBD merger would fold CBS, CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros IP into Ellison’s orbit under Trump’s regulatory umbrella.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 16, 2025 — 11K Views “Within 48 hours of the rumor, WBD stock surged ~55% and Paramount Skydance rose ~24%. That market response itself boxed David Zaslav in; his board, Wall Street, and his own contract now expect movement.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 27, 2025 — 12:16 PM — 3,516 Views “Nah homie. Enjoy watching the show on YouTube after Ellison buys WBD and Ari who is advising Ellison and used to represent Trump and runs TKO makes the call.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 28, 2025 — 174 Views “I believe if and when Paramount acquires WBD, TKO will push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. The long knives are already out for competitors, and the rights deals have likely been spread around town precisely to keep rivals from signing with those streamers.” none of that was random. paramount / skydance, ellison, ari, tko, wbd linear assets, youtube, aaa, the tko deal, the wbd split, the shrinking rights buyer universe — all of it was one connected domestic rights architecture. that is why this conversation was always over the heads of the people screaming “cope” in my replies. they were arguing like fans. i was reading the cap table. Nick LoPiccolo — December 6, 2025 — 3:07 PM — 41.4K Views “Yes, I always believed Paramount would walk away with WBD. I was one of the first to talk about it on here, even if I wasn’t the first to hear it. The Paramount Skydance acquisition closed on August 7. I posted this on August 11, about 1 month before the The Wall Street Journal first broke the news on September 12 that Paramount Skydance was preparing a bid for WBD.” Nick LoPiccolo — December 6, 2025 — 3:07 PM — 41.4K Views “The bid was always going to be hostile. We are only in this process because it was a hostile bid. Most people in Hollywood believed Ellison long coveted WB and Jack Warner’s chair. WB was not for sale when Skydance acquired Paramount, which is much smaller in scale.” Nick LoPiccolo — December 6, 2025 — 3:07 PM — 41.4K Views “Nearly everyone in town assumed an Ellison acquisition of WBD was inevitable until the Netflix bid shocked everyone. Signs were there for the last two weeks, which is also when I stopped posting about what might happen. Of course, its not over yet. Paramount still has paths to winning this acquisition. The one thing that’s for certain though is an Ellison-led acquisition of WBD is no longer inevitable.” Nick LoPiccolo — December 8, 2025 “END CREDITS” space jam is a warner bros. movie. that was the joke. and the joke was the same thing i had been saying the whole time: paramount was winning the bid, for those who did not understand. Nick LoPiccolo — December 19, 2025 — 4:30 PM — 828 Views “Here is another reference to it. So tell me how exactly is Paramount the better outcome for Dave’s argument? Netflix doesn’t touch the WBD linear assets. Gunnar keeps his SpinCo.” Puck excerpt — December 19, 2025 “Many industry insiders are also skeptical about Paramount’s seven-year, $7.7 billion deal for exclusive UFC rights in the U.S. Yes, it can be read as a signal that Ellison came to play. But some people see it more as Ari Emanuel having his way with the person to whom he is ostensibly an (unpaid) advisor…” that is the board. that is the relationship map. that is the thing wrestling media either does not understand or pretends not to understand, because understanding it means admitting the story is not “aew has leverage.” the story is that aew is sitting in the middle of a consolidating rights marketplace where the people with leverage are doing much bigger things than worrying about tony khan’s feelings. Nick LoPiccolo — January 21, 2026 — 4:22 PM — 870 Views “i mean get ready to learn youtube buddy” Nick LoPiccolo — February 19, 2026 — 2.8K Views “Paramount was always my bet to acquire Warner Bros. Never wavered.” Nick LoPiccolo — February 28, 2026 — 1:27 PM — 118 Views “you don’t need to look under a hood I AM SAYING THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 I BEEN SAYING IT SINCE JULY / AUGUST 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 PARAMOUNT IS COMING FOR WBD AEW WILL LOSE A TV DEAL 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT 💀” so no, this is not hindsight. this is not showing up after the fact with a flashlight and pretending i discovered the body. this is a paper trail. february: youtube is not a real rights model unless google is cutting the check. april: wbd passed back in august, the myaew app is not realistic, paramount is not real for aew, cw / roku is off the table, amazon and fox do not want aew, and google / youtube is the only distributor left that makes sense. july: the $185 million number is inflated and aew is not leverage. august: the buyer board is shrinking, paramount is still interested in wbd, and google / youtube becomes directly competitive. september: paramount / wbd folds the board into ellison’s orbit, and if ellison buys wbd, enjoy youtube. december: paramount was always the bet, the bid was always going to be hostile, and netflix does not solve dave meltzer’s argument because netflix does not touch the linear assets. january: get ready to learn youtube. february: paramount is coming for wbd and aew will lose a tv deal. same board. same thesis. same answer. now here is the part tony khan and dave meltzer do not want to say out loud. tony khan and dave meltzer do not mention me publicly for a reason. because the second they say my name out loud, they admit where this conversation has actually been coming from. not wwe. not some anonymous “high level official.” not some shadowy tko whisper campaign. me. that is the problem for them. behind the scenes, ask any real insider what happens when my name comes up around this subject. there is a reaction. not because i’m magic. not because i’m some internet boogeyman. because they know exactly who is saying it, why i’m saying it, what rooms i have been in, what companies i have dealt with, what executives i have spoken to, and why the analysis keeps landing. that is why they keep trying to non-person me publicly while reacting to me privately. they want the argument. they want the benefit of responding to the argument. they just do not want to admit whose argument it is. when i said wbd told aew back in august 2025 they were not exercising the option for the fourth year, tony khan blew up behind the scenes and forced john mcmullen to revise / update his article 2-3 weeks ago after i tweeted it. which is hilarious because that should not even be crazy or damaging “news.” that is how this business works. when a distributor is not continuing, they tell you early enough so you have time to find a new home. that is not sabotage. that is not wwe. that is not nick lopiccolo hiding inside david zaslav’s air vents with a clipboard. that is corporate courtesy. wbd execs privately whisper and shake their heads at tony khan’s behavior because their view is very simple: why does tony khan act like everything is great and rainbows and sunshine with the studio? we told tony khan as a courtesy so tony khan would have time to find a new home. and no, this has zero to do with paramount looming as an excuse. paramount did not even make its first hostile bid for wbd until september 11 or 12. that was after tony khan was already told there would not be a wbd renewal. so what did tony khan do? tony khan turned the truth into a wrestling angle. tony khan, or one of tony khan’s minions, gets dave meltzer to drop a story assigning my claims and what i have been publicly posting about tony khan to “high level wwe officials.” why? because it gives tony khan a safer enemy. tony khan does not want the story to be the actual timeline. because the actual timeline is brutal. on february 28, i said youtube was not a real media rights model unless google was actually cutting the check and underwriting production. on april 30, i said wbd passed in august, the myaew app was not realistic, paramount was not real for aew, cw / roku was off the table, amazon and fox did not want aew, and the only distributor left that made sense was google / youtube. on july 9, i said no one in hollywood believed the $185 million number. on july 10, i said aew was not leverage. on august 11, i said the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, and google / youtube was becoming a directly competitive lane. on september 16, i said a paramount / wbd merger would fold cbs, cnn, hbo, and warner bros. ip into ellison’s orbit. on september 27, i said enjoy the show on youtube after ellison buys wbd. on september 28, i said if paramount acquires wbd, tko would push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. on december 6, i said paramount skydance was preparing a bid for wbd long before most people admitted the obvious. on february 19, i said paramount was always my bet to acquire warner bros. and on february 28, i said it in all caps: paramount is coming for wbd. aew will lose a tv deal. that is the part tony khan cannot answer directly, because the direct answer means admitting this was never “wwe is scared of us.” it was always the board closing. tony khan wants the story to be: why would wwe say this about us? that is the laundering operation. take my public analysis. run it through dave meltzer. assign it to wwe / tko. then let tony khan answer a canned question on a media call with very little distribution about potentially having very little distribution. a media call for a show with very little distribution answering a canned question about aew potentially having very little distribution. based on a planted story, from a planted messenger, with a rehearsed answer, after an roh show maybe 8-15k people watched. a pr flack probably wrote it. tony khan performs hurt. tony khan says “i don’t know why wwe would…” tony khan denies the obvious. tony khan keeps me minimized. tony khan removes me from the public conversation about the very thing i have repeatedly said is going to happen to aew. everyone is supposed to pretend this is organic. it is the most bubble wrapped, manufactured, artificial environment possible. a canned and rehearsed answer at an roh media scrum about a planted dave meltzer story based on my very real and very public analysis of the media rights board. but make no mistake. tony khan was responding to my words. tony khan just laundered them through dave meltzer and assigned them to wwe / tko so tony khan could keep lying about it publicly without ever saying my name. and now, voila. dave meltzer is posting about youtube viewers and prelims. Dave Meltzer — May 16, 2026 “At this moment there are 340,000 people watching prelims for Netflix on YouTube. It’s a good number.” yes, dave meltzer. youtube can have good numbers. nobody said youtube cannot have good numbers. that was never the issue. the issue is whether youtube is being used as a funnel into a premium rights ecosystem or as a substitute because the premium rights ecosystem rejected you. that is the difference. that has always been the difference. netflix using youtube prelims as audience acquisition is not the same thing as aew trying to spin youtube as a media rights home because the real buyers are gone. ufc using youtube as a funnel is not the same thing as aew using youtube as a life raft. wwe sending stars to aaa on youtube to convert a younger demo is not the same thing as aew retreating to youtube after the traditional buyer board closes. and the fact that dave meltzer is now suddenly tweeting like the mayor of youtube is the punchline. because the same people who mocked the youtube outcome are now going to spend the next several months explaining why youtube is actually good. of course it can be good. for the right use case. for the right property. inside the right architecture. with the right check attached. but when you spend two years telling everyone you were valued like raw and your next stop is “please subscribe and smash that bell,” maybe stop pretending this is victory formation? i told y’all where this was going. the record is right there. i’m still right. and tony and dave: you guys are see through translucent. that’s it for ye 🎤🎤🎤

PARA is likely off the board (via TKO deal) & then what if they acquire WB in 2026/27?” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 535 Views “Yes, of course, that wouldn’t mean the end for AEW. It would make navigating their media rights deal more challenging, I would guess. But this is a hypothetical scenario & I do not believe anyone is paying $7.7b for UFC or a $40b valuation for WB w/ how do we fuck AEW, either.” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 “And hearing all weekend Paramount is still interested in WBD.” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 1.3K Views “I think more interesting for what it could mean as the dominoes keep falling in terms of the still evolving landscape. The deals are massive & the number of major players at the top are shrinking as still big push for consolidation & scale.” Nick LoPiccolo — August 11, 2025 — 12:11 PM — 2,588 Views “And I’d view AAA on Google/YouTube as directly competitive. It targets both the CMLL collab & the audience that used to watch AEW Dark on YouTube, & WWE is able to send well known stars to AAA events with an eye towards converting more of the younger, YouTube demo of viewers who don’t watch streamers.” again: august 11. not yesterday. not after dave meltzer tweeted a netflix prelim number. not after anyone had to retrofit the argument. the point was already there: the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, paramount was likely off the board for aew because of the tko deal, google / youtube was becoming directly competitive for the exact audience aew used to reach through dark, and the buyer universe was consolidating around deals much bigger than tony khan’s feelings. this was not mysticism. this was not inside baseball for the sake of sounding smart. this was the board. Nick LoPiccolo — August 24, 2025 “This isn’t fair. I misread your question. AEW will exist but likely on the Discovery Global app (if it ever launches, I would bet that it doesn’t) and it will continue to do consistent ratings. If Paramount/Skydance buys WBD in a year…” Nick LoPiccolo — September 4, 2025 — 76 Views “No, that’s the WBD network division (cable, news, sports) that was already announced as being spun off under Discovery Global. The article you’re citing is about them selling a minority equity stake in that unit to cut debt and boost valuation ahead of the 2026 split.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 16, 2025 — 3.6K Views “This is not just about Hollywood scale. It is the foundation of a conservative aligned media infrastructure. A Paramount/WBD merger would fold CBS, CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros IP into Ellison’s orbit under Trump’s regulatory umbrella.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 16, 2025 — 11K Views “Within 48 hours of the rumor, WBD stock surged ~55% and Paramount Skydance rose ~24%. That market response itself boxed David Zaslav in; his board, Wall Street, and his own contract now expect movement.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 27, 2025 — 12:16 PM — 3,516 Views “Nah homie. Enjoy watching the show on YouTube after Ellison buys WBD and Ari who is advising Ellison and used to represent Trump and runs TKO makes the call.” Nick LoPiccolo — September 28, 2025 — 174 Views “I believe if and when Paramount acquires WBD, TKO will push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. The long knives are already out for competitors, and the rights deals have likely been spread around town precisely to keep rivals from signing with those streamers.” none of that was random. paramount / skydance, ellison, ari, tko, wbd linear assets, youtube, aaa, the tko deal, the wbd split, the shrinking rights buyer universe — all of it was one connected domestic rights architecture. that is why this conversation was always over the heads of the people screaming “cope” in my replies. they were arguing like fans. i was reading the cap table. Nick LoPiccolo — December 6, 2025 — 3:07 PM — 41.4K Views “Yes, I always believed Paramount would walk away with WBD. I was one of the first to talk about it on here, even if I wasn’t the first to hear it. The Paramount Skydance acquisition closed on August 7. I posted this on August 11, about 1 month before the The Wall Street Journal first broke the news on September 12 that Paramount Skydance was preparing a bid for WBD.” Nick LoPiccolo — December 6, 2025 — 3:07 PM — 41.4K Views “The bid was always going to be hostile. We are only in this process because it was a hostile bid. Most people in Hollywood believed Ellison long coveted WB and Jack Warner’s chair. WB was not for sale when Skydance acquired Paramount, which is much smaller in scale.” Nick LoPiccolo — December 6, 2025 — 3:07 PM — 41.4K Views “Nearly everyone in town assumed an Ellison acquisition of WBD was inevitable until the Netflix bid shocked everyone. Signs were there for the last two weeks, which is also when I stopped posting about what might happen. Of course, its not over yet. Paramount still has paths to winning this acquisition. The one thing that’s for certain though is an Ellison-led acquisition of WBD is no longer inevitable.” Nick LoPiccolo — December 8, 2025 “END CREDITS” space jam is a warner bros. movie. that was the joke. and the joke was the same thing i had been saying the whole time: paramount was winning the bid, for those who did not understand. Nick LoPiccolo — December 19, 2025 — 4:30 PM — 828 Views “Here is another reference to it. So tell me how exactly is Paramount the better outcome for Dave’s argument? Netflix doesn’t touch the WBD linear assets. Gunnar keeps his SpinCo.” Puck excerpt — December 19, 2025 “Many industry insiders are also skeptical about Paramount’s seven-year, $7.7 billion deal for exclusive UFC rights in the U.S. Yes, it can be read as a signal that Ellison came to play. But some people see it more as Ari Emanuel having his way with the person to whom he is ostensibly an (unpaid) advisor…” that is the board. that is the relationship map. that is the thing wrestling media either does not understand or pretends not to understand, because understanding it means admitting the story is not “aew has leverage.” the story is that aew is sitting in the middle of a consolidating rights marketplace where the people with leverage are doing much bigger things than worrying about tony khan’s feelings. Nick LoPiccolo — January 21, 2026 — 4:22 PM — 870 Views “i mean get ready to learn youtube buddy” Nick LoPiccolo — February 19, 2026 — 2.8K Views “Paramount was always my bet to acquire Warner Bros. Never wavered.” Nick LoPiccolo — February 28, 2026 — 1:27 PM — 118 Views “you don’t need to look under a hood I AM SAYING THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 I BEEN SAYING IT SINCE JULY / AUGUST 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 PARAMOUNT IS COMING FOR WBD AEW WILL LOSE A TV DEAL 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 GUESS WHO WAS RIGHT 💀” so no, this is not hindsight. this is not showing up after the fact with a flashlight and pretending i discovered the body. this is a paper trail. february: youtube is not a real rights model unless google is cutting the check. april: wbd passed back in august, the myaew app is not realistic, paramount is not real for aew, cw / roku is off the table, amazon and fox do not want aew, and google / youtube is the only distributor left that makes sense. july: the $185 million number is inflated and aew is not leverage. august: the buyer board is shrinking, paramount is still interested in wbd, and google / youtube becomes directly competitive. september: paramount / wbd folds the board into ellison’s orbit, and if ellison buys wbd, enjoy youtube. december: paramount was always the bet, the bid was always going to be hostile, and netflix does not solve dave meltzer’s argument because netflix does not touch the linear assets. january: get ready to learn youtube. february: paramount is coming for wbd and aew will lose a tv deal. same board. same thesis. same answer. now here is the part tony khan and dave meltzer do not want to say out loud. tony khan and dave meltzer do not mention me publicly for a reason. because the second they say my name out loud, they admit where this conversation has actually been coming from. not wwe. not some anonymous “high level official.” not some shadowy tko whisper campaign. me. that is the problem for them. behind the scenes, ask any real insider what happens when my name comes up around this subject. there is a reaction. not because i’m magic. not because i’m some internet boogeyman. because they know exactly who is saying it, why i’m saying it, what rooms i have been in, what companies i have dealt with, what executives i have spoken to, and why the analysis keeps landing. that is why they keep trying to non-person me publicly while reacting to me privately. they want the argument. they want the benefit of responding to the argument. they just do not want to admit whose argument it is. when i said wbd told aew back in august 2025 they were not exercising the option for the fourth year, tony khan blew up behind the scenes and forced john mcmullen to revise / update his article 2-3 weeks ago after i tweeted it. which is hilarious because that should not even be crazy or damaging “news.” that is how this business works. when a distributor is not continuing, they tell you early enough so you have time to find a new home. that is not sabotage. that is not wwe. that is not nick lopiccolo hiding inside david zaslav’s air vents with a clipboard. that is corporate courtesy. wbd execs privately whisper and shake their heads at tony khan’s behavior because their view is very simple: why does tony khan act like everything is great and rainbows and sunshine with the studio? we told tony khan as a courtesy so tony khan would have time to find a new home. and no, this has zero to do with paramount looming as an excuse. paramount did not even make its first hostile bid for wbd until september 11 or 12. that was after tony khan was already told there would not be a wbd renewal. so what did tony khan do? tony khan turned the truth into a wrestling angle. tony khan, or one of tony khan’s minions, gets dave meltzer to drop a story assigning my claims and what i have been publicly posting about tony khan to “high level wwe officials.” why? because it gives tony khan a safer enemy. tony khan does not want the story to be the actual timeline. because the actual timeline is brutal. on february 28, i said youtube was not a real media rights model unless google was actually cutting the check and underwriting production. on april 30, i said wbd passed in august, the myaew app was not realistic, paramount was not real for aew, cw / roku was off the table, amazon and fox did not want aew, and the only distributor left that made sense was google / youtube. on july 9, i said no one in hollywood believed the $185 million number. on july 10, i said aew was not leverage. on august 11, i said the major players at the top were shrinking, paramount was still interested in wbd, and google / youtube was becoming a directly competitive lane. on september 16, i said a paramount / wbd merger would fold cbs, cnn, hbo, and warner bros. ip into ellison’s orbit. on september 27, i said enjoy the show on youtube after ellison buys wbd. on september 28, i said if paramount acquires wbd, tko would push to lock down a monopoly on combat sports. on december 6, i said paramount skydance was preparing a bid for wbd long before most people admitted the obvious. on february 19, i said paramount was always my bet to acquire warner bros. and on february 28, i said it in all caps: paramount is coming for wbd. aew will lose a tv deal. that is the part tony khan cannot answer directly, because the direct answer means admitting this was never “wwe is scared of us.” it was always the board closing. tony khan wants the story to be: why would wwe say this about us? that is the laundering operation. take my public analysis. run it through dave meltzer. assign it to wwe / tko. then let tony khan answer a canned question on a media call with very little distribution about potentially having very little distribution. a media call for a show with very little distribution answering a canned question about aew potentially having very little distribution. based on a planted story, from a planted messenger, with a rehearsed answer, after an roh show maybe 8-15k people watched. a pr flack probably wrote it. tony khan performs hurt. tony khan says “i don’t know why wwe would…” tony khan denies the obvious. tony khan keeps me minimized. tony khan removes me from the public conversation about the very thing i have repeatedly said is going to happen to aew. everyone is supposed to pretend this is organic. it is the most bubble wrapped, manufactured, artificial environment possible. a canned and rehearsed answer at an roh media scrum about a planted dave meltzer story based on my very real and very public analysis of the media rights board. but make no mistake. tony khan was responding to my words. tony khan just laundered them through dave meltzer and assigned them to wwe / tko so tony khan could keep lying about it publicly without ever saying my name. and now, voila. dave meltzer is posting about youtube viewers and prelims. Dave Meltzer — May 16, 2026 “At this moment there are 340,000 people watching prelims for Netflix on YouTube. It’s a good number.” yes, dave meltzer. youtube can have good numbers. nobody said youtube cannot have good numbers. that was never the issue. the issue is whether youtube is being used as a funnel into a premium rights ecosystem or as a substitute because the premium rights ecosystem rejected you. that is the difference. that has always been the difference. netflix using youtube prelims as audience acquisition is not the same thing as aew trying to spin youtube as a media rights home because the real buyers are gone. ufc using youtube as a funnel is not the same thing as aew using youtube as a life raft. wwe sending stars to aaa on youtube to convert a younger demo is not the same thing as aew retreating to youtube after the traditional buyer board closes. and the fact that dave meltzer is now suddenly tweeting like the mayor of youtube is the punchline. because the same people who mocked the youtube outcome are now going to spend the next several months explaining why youtube is actually good. of course it can be good. for the right use case. for the right property. inside the right architecture. with the right check attached. but when you spend two years telling everyone you were valued like raw and your next stop is “please subscribe and smash that bell,” maybe stop pretending this is victory formation? i told y’all where this was going. the record is right there. i’m still right. and tony and dave: you guys are see through translucent. that’s it for ye 🎤🎤🎤

1/ How did Jane Fonda, Bette Midler, and Robert De Niro become the voices for a communist celebration: May Day? Who is behind the May Day protests today, using workers as a Trojan Horse for communism and socialism in America? I’ve been digging into this for years as you know. In a new article just published with my Fox News Digital colleagues Preston Mizell and Michael Dorgan, we have identified: 🔴 About 600 GROUPS 🔴 With $2 BILLION in combined revenue 🔴 Mobilizing about 3,000 protests nationwide READ THE ARTICLE HERE: Here is an important takeaway: the protests today represent the rise of a RED-BLUE alliance between far-left socialist groups and Democratic organizations, including the California Democratic Party. They include: 🔵The Ohio Democratic Party Progressive Caucus 🔵 North Carolina’s Young Democrats of Moore County 🔵Young Democrats of Wisconsin 🔵 Yuba County Democratic Central Committee They're all on the official list of organizers for a coalition, "May Day Strong," promoted online at 🔵 In Ohio, the Licking County Democrats organization is hosting a "May Day Strong" protest at the courthouse in Newark, promoting the national event’s official mantra: "No Work No School No Shopping." The groups didn’t respond to requests for comment. The new RED-BLUE ALLIANCE isn't spontaneous. It’s coordinated. We'll keep showing you how. We'll be on the ground today. I'm in Washington, D.C., where the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a self-declared communist organization, met inside its “Liberation Center” last night to build signs, prep messaging and drive turnout. Michael, Preston and Louis Casiano are in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and New York. And we've got eyes on the network nationwide. What looks like a protest moment is actually an organizing infrastructure. Organizers are calling it “Workers Over Billionaires,” urging people to skip work, school, and shopping as part of a coordinated action. But two tycoons have funded key organizers: 🔵 George Soros, a Democratic billionaire 🔴 Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai Soros has funded a key organizer: 🔵 Indivisible SIngham pushes the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party and has funded key leaders of May Day: 🔴 People's Forum 🔴 ANSWER Coalition 🔴 CodePink 🔴 Party for Socialism and Liberation 🔴 BreakThrough News Then there is also in the mix: 🔴 Democratic Socialists of America 🔴 Communist Party of the USA 🔴 Revolutionary Communist Party 🔴 Maoist Communist Union 🔴 Freedom Road Socialist Organization And then the unions: 🔵 American Federation of Teachers 🔵 Teamsters 🔵 United Auto Workers 🔵 National Education Association In total: 600 groups, $2 BILLION in collective revenues Critics say this goes beyond traditional labor activism. They argue May Day is being used as a unifying vehicle for a wider political agenda. Democratic strategist Melissa DeRosa told me: “May Day has a proud history of honoring workers, but too many Democratic organizations have allowed that tradition to be hijacked by the activist fringe…” She added: “The increasing willingness of mainstream Democrats to align with extremist socialist groups is a major factor in why the Democratic Party is losing the center…” That’s why it’s important to cover this. Not just the protests—but the network behind them. Thank you to DataRepublican (small r) for her magic helping me connect the dots. Who’s organizing May Day? Who’s funding May Day? How does the messaging spread? Read our coverage to get the answers. May Day, right now, is more than a protest supporting workers. I was a union leader at the Wall Street Journal -- yes. Who doesn't want dignity of labor? May Day is using workers as a Trojan Horse for an ideological mission by groups with key groups that want to destroy free enterprise in America, eliminate military bases, socialize private industry and free prisoners from jails -- yes. It’s a window into a growing political coalition that’s critics say stoke the rhetoric that is leading to political violence from the left. Follow our blog all day at and follow my updates here!

The CIA's information war with American citizens and the operation that started it all. Project Mockingbird. This is one main aspect as to why people are so divided and brainwashed in today's society. Information has always been a crucial component to power and control. Knowledge is power, right? The only difference today from 40+ years ago is that now information flows at a rate that is absolutely mind-boggling and allows you to connect with anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world, with real-time information 24/7 at your finger tips. So what happens when you have people who are suppose to be giving you accurate, truthful, information, and start to give you information that benefits, manipulates, and persuades the global population with mis and disinformation, protects certain corrupt people and groups by not reporting on other information, and who also lies and slanders other individuals all for the purpose to maintain power and control over the entire population, entirely on PURPOSE? You get what's called PROPAGANDA, aka, a sh*t show of so much purposeful bad and fake information, that it literally starts to persuade and mold the populations overall views and opinions on an array of various topics to fit the nefarious controllers, behind the scenes narrative or agenda. Ultimitely benefitting only them. If you take notice, these campaigns have been around for a long time, depending what side your on, your personal views and where you get your overall information will ultimately decide or be a factor of how much it has affected you or how much you are aware of the deception in the first place. Most legacy mainstream media groups are owned and operated by a small group of wealthy globalist individuals who seem to lean towards the left, and some leaning even farther left than others. These campaigns started to really pick up when Trump entered the picture in 2016. Trump was never suppose to win in the first place. Obama reinstated propaganda to be used on American citizens once again in 2013. The task to slander and attempt to destroy and imprison Trump through multiple operations and media campaigns were in full effect for the deep state to regain control of The White House. The group that these campaigns affected the most were the older groups and the younger groups. The people in the middle basically got to see both worlds play out in their lives at a crucial time period in their lives. They've seen the mainstream shift from what it once was, to an extreme lying, propaganda machine when Trump took office. The older aged crowd was so used to the regular nightly news and not as comfortable with newer technology to access alternative media sites and really just stuck with the mainstream's words and kept their faith in the MSM. Now the younger crowd literally grew up with the fully scripted, CIA, propaganda MSM because that is literally all they've ever known and haven't experienced anything else before or have anything to compare it to. Especially when your indoctrinated in a public school system that has been infiltrated itself with a majority of far-left teachers who usually end up being predators as well. That's a whole other story. The problem this CIA operation has caused was a population with people all in their own separate groups and boxes, fighting with each other over many things, instead of the people who started this mess in the first place, that aren't even true because one side has been lied to and manipulated. Brainwashed from a literal military style operation that's used to topple foreign countries during regime changes. And the worst part on top of all this is that know since Elon has started DOGE, a government efficiency operation, we are now uncovering that all these communist, Marxist, ideas, and operations and slander campaigns, and legal cases against Trump, down to these politicians luxurious lifestyles have been all funded and paid for by us, the TAXPAYERS. On the one example above, through USAID, there is proof of over $9 MILLION dollars that went to Reuters for a campaign named, " ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENSE LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION," which is a definitive contract. There are thousands of examples just like this for all different companies, influencers, T.V. shows, Magazines, Articles, any type of media, and all of them are left leaning outlets. This has been going on for decades. Then on top off all of that, you have people who own these publishing and media companies who are not only getting paid by the taxpayers from the CIA to deceive us, but many of these owners are best friends with people like Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxell as you can also see above who is with Laurene Powell Jobs, the owner of "The Atlantic" publication, on vacation just hanging out. You wonder why the media never talks about child trafficking. Their paid to cover it up, or they're literally involved themselves... It just get's better and better. The good news is that it is now being exposed and shut down. Let's dive into the history of PROJECT MOCKINGBIRD now. The story of Project Mockingbird begins in the shadow of the Cold War, a period defined by ideological warfare between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the early 1960s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), under the leadership of Director John McCone, launched a covert operation codenamed "Project Mockingbird." Unlike the broader, alleged "Operation Mockingbird" often cited in conspiracy circles as a sprawling media manipulation scheme, the historical Project Mockingbird was a specific, documented wiretapping effort aimed at curbing leaks of classified information. Initiated on March 12, 1963, and concluding on June 15, 1963, Project Mockingbird targeted two Washington-based journalists, Robert S. Allen and Paul J. Scott, who wrote the syndicated "Allen-Scott Report." These columnists had a knack for publishing articles laced with highly classified CIA details—information so sensitive it included Top Secret and Special Intelligence data. Their scoops, often sourced from government insiders, rattled the Kennedy administration, particularly after a July 26, 1962, New York Times article by Hanson Baldwin exposed details of a National Intelligence Estimate comparing U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals. President John F. Kennedy, incensed by such leaks, sought to plug the holes. The operation was a collaborative effort, greenlit by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Joseph Carroll. The CIA’s Office of Security, led by Sheffield Edwards, executed the wiretapping, monitoring the journalists’ home and office phones. The surveillance results identified congressional sources, including then-Speaker of the House John McCormack, who spoke with Scott on March 26, 1963. The "Family Jewels"—a 1973 CIA document declassified in 2007—later exposed this operation, revealing its scope and raising questions about its legality. Daniel L. Pines, a CIA Assistant General Counsel, argued in a 2009 Indiana Law Journal review that the wiretapping likely violated legal bounds, as its primary aim was to trace leaks rather than gather foreign intelligence. This historical Project Mockingbird, though limited in duration and scope, planted a seed of distrust between the government, the press, and the public—a seed that would grow into a broader narrative of media manipulation. From Wiretaps to Media Empire While Project Mockingbird of 1963 was a discrete surveillance effort, it became conflated with a larger CIA program dubbed "Operation Mockingbird." This narrative emerged most prominently in Deborah Davis’s 1979 book, Katharine the Great, which claimed that the CIA, under Frank Wisner of the Office of Policy Coordination, had systematically infiltrated American media starting in the 1950s. Davis alleged that Wisner recruited Washington Post publisher Phil Graham to orchestrate a propaganda network, embedding CIA-friendly journalists in outlets like The New York Times, Newsweek, and CBS. Cord Meyer, a key CIA figure, was said to have taken the reins in 1951, expanding the operation’s reach. The Church Committee’s 1975-1976 investigation lent some credence to these claims, uncovering CIA ties to around 50 American journalists and covert funding of front groups like the National Student Association, exposed by Ramparts magazine in 1967. Carl Bernstein’s 1977 Rolling Stone article, "The CIA and the Media," further detailed how over 400 U.S. journalists had covertly worked with the CIA, often disseminating propaganda abroad that would then filter back to domestic audiences. the CIA admitted overreach. By 1976, under Director George H.W. Bush, the CIA publicly pledged to end paid relationships with U.S. journalists. Yet, skeptics argued the agency merely shifted tactics, maintaining influence through foreign media outlets that indirectly shaped American narratives. The line between historical fact and conspiracy theory blurred, setting the stage for modern reinterpretations of Mockingbird’s legacy. They claim. The Turning Point came in 2013 and the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act Fast forward to July 2, 2013, a date that marks a pivotal shift in the Mockingbird saga. Under President Barack Obama, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act—embedded in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)—took effect. This legislation amended the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, commonly known as the Smith-Mundt Act, which had long barred government-funded broadcasters like Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty—overseen by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (now the U.S. Agency for Global Media, USAGM)—from disseminating their content domestically. The original intent was to prevent the U.S. government from propagandizing its own citizens, a safeguard rooted in post-World War II fears of authoritarian overreach. The 2013 amendment, co-sponsored by Representatives Adam Smith (D-WA) and Mac Thornberry (R-TX), lifted this restriction, allowing USAGM content to be requested and accessed by Americans. Proponents hailed it as a transparency win, arguing that taxpayers deserved to see what their dollars funded—news and programming in 61 languages, reaching over 100 countries. Critics, however, saw it as a Pandora’s box. Foreign Policy reported on July 14, 2013, that the change unleashed "thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption," raising fears of legalized propaganda. The timing was notable: it followed a decade of post-9/11 media scrutiny and preceded a surge in misinformation debates. in 2024 claimed "Operation Mockingbird never ended," tying the NDAA to a supposed CIA media takeover. No hard evidence supports a direct CIA role, but the legal shift undeniably blurred lines between foreign and domestic information flows. While the USAGM insists its mission remains outward-facing—delivering uncensored news to foreign audiences lacking free press—and that its journalists adhere to strict objectivity standards, the repeal stoked speculation. Could this be a modern resurrection of Mockingbird-style influence? The answer is yes. Most projects they say they stopped just get renamed or go black and off the books so Congress doesn't even know it exists or get access to it. Be careful what you read, who you follow, and who you get your information from. Look for patterns and scripts. They're easy to find once you understand what's really going on and their tactics and techniques. Keep asking questions, cross reference everything, do your due diligence, have multiple sources, do not buy everything at face value, go deeper, think about the bigger picture or long term goals. And always remember that there are layers, optics, and timing to everything you see. 90% of everything that comes out gets run by the intelligence agencies first. Lastly, keep fighting for the truth and and continue to help others to wake up as well.

The original intent was to prevent the U.S. government from propagandizing its own citizens, a safeguard rooted in post-World War II fears of authoritarian overreach. The 2013 amendment, co-sponsored by Representatives Adam Smith (D-WA) and Mac Thornberry (R-TX), lifted this restriction, allowing USAGM content to be requested and accessed by Americans. Proponents hailed it as a transparency win, arguing that taxpayers deserved to see what their dollars funded—news and programming in 61 languages, reaching over 100 countries. Critics, however, saw it as a Pandora’s box. Foreign Policy reported on July 14, 2013, that the change unleashed "thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption," raising fears of legalized propaganda. The timing was notable: it followed a decade of post-9/11 media scrutiny and preceded a surge in misinformation debates. In 2024, claimed "Operation Mockingbird never ended," tying the NDAA to a supposed CIA media takeover. No hard evidence supports a direct CIA role, but the legal shift undeniably blurred lines between foreign and domestic information flows. While the USAGM insists its mission remains outward-facing—delivering uncensored news to foreign audiences lacking free press—and that its journalists adhere to strict objectivity standards, the repeal stoked speculation. Could this be a modern resurrection of Mockingbird-style influence? The answer is yes. Most projects they say they stopped just get renamed or go black and off the books so Congress doesn't even know it exists or get access to it. Be careful what you read, who you follow, and who you get your information from. Look for patterns and scripts. They're easy to find once you understand what's really going on and their tactics and techniques. Keep asking questions, cross reference everything, do your due diligence, have multiple sources, do not buy everything at face value, go deeper, think about the bigger picture or long term goals. Remember that there are layers, optics, and timing with everything.

THE CIA's INFORMATION WAR on American citizens and the operation that started it all. PROJECT MOCKINGBIRD. This is one main aspect as to why people are so divided and brainwashed in today's society. Information has always been a crucial component to power and control. Knowledge is power, right? The only difference today from 40+ years ago is that now information flows at a rate that is absolutely mind-boggling and allows you to connect with anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world, with real-time information 24/7 at your finger tips. So what happens when you have people who are suppose to be giving you accurate, truthful, information, and start to give you information that benefits, manipulates, and persuades the global population with mis and disinformation, protects certain corrupt people and groups by not reporting on other information, and who also lies and slanders other individuals all for the purpose to maintain power and control over the entire population, entirely on PURPOSE? You get what's called PROPAGANDA, aka, a sh*t show of so much purposeful bad and fake information, that it literally starts to persuade and mold the populations overall views and opinions on an array of various topics to fit the nefarious controllers, behind the scenes narrative or agenda. Ultimately benefitting only them. If you take notice, these campaigns have been around for a long time, depending what side your on, your personal views and where you get your overall information will ultimately decide or be a factor of how much it has affected you or how much you are aware of the deception in the first place. Most legacy mainstream media groups are owned and operated by a small group of wealthy globalist individuals who seem to lean towards the left, and some leaning even farther left than others. These campaigns started to really pick up when Trump entered the picture in 2016. Trump was never suppose to win in the first place. Obama reinstated propaganda to be used on American citizens once again in 2013. The task to slander and attempt to destroy and imprison Trump through multiple operations and media campaigns were in full effect for the deep state to regain control of The White House. The group that these campaigns affected the most were the older groups and the younger groups. The people in the middle basically got to see both worlds play out in their lives at a crucial time period in their lives. They've seen the mainstream shift from what it once was, to an extreme lying, propaganda machine when Trump took office. The older aged crowd was so used to the regular nightly news and not as comfortable with newer technology to access alternative media sites and really just stuck with the mainstream's words and kept their faith in the MSM. Now the younger crowd literally grew up with the fully scripted, CIA, propaganda MSM because that is literally all they've ever known and haven't experienced anything else before or have anything to compare it to. Especially when your indoctrinated in a public school system that has been infiltrated itself with a majority of far-left teachers who usually end up being predators as well. That's a whole other story. The problem this CIA operation has caused was a population with people all in their own separate groups and boxes, fighting with each other over many things, instead of the people who started this mess in the first place, that aren't even true because one side has been lied to and manipulated. Brainwashed from a literal military style operation that's used to topple foreign countries during regime changes. And the worst part on top of all this is that know since Elon has started DOGE, a government efficiency operation, we are now uncovering that all these communist, Marxist, ideas, and operations and slander campaigns, and legal cases against Trump, down to these politicians luxurious lifestyles have been all funded and paid for by us, the TAXPAYERS. On the one example above, through USAID, there is proof of over $9 MILLION dollars that went to Reuters for a campaign named, " ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENSE LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION," which is a definitive contract. There are thousands of examples just like this for all different companies, influencers, T.V. shows, Magazines, Articles, any type of media, and all of them are left leaning outlets. This has been going on for decades. Then on top off all of that, you have people who own these publishing and media companies who are not only getting paid by the taxpayers from the CIA to deceive us, but many of these owners are best friends with people like Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxell as you can also see above who is with Laurene Powell Jobs, the owner of "The Atlantic" publication, on vacation just hanging out. You wonder why the media never talks about child trafficking. Their paid to cover it up, or they're literally involved themselves... It just get's better and better. The good news is that it is now being exposed and shut down. Let's dive into the history of PROJECT MOCKINGBIRD now. The story of Project Mockingbird begins in the shadow of the Cold War, a period defined by ideological warfare between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the early 1960s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), under the leadership of Director John McCone, launched a covert operation codenamed "Project Mockingbird." Unlike the broader, alleged "Operation Mockingbird" often cited in conspiracy circles as a sprawling media manipulation scheme, the historical Project Mockingbird was a specific, documented wiretapping effort aimed at curbing leaks of classified information. Initiated on March 12, 1963, and concluding on June 15, 1963, Project Mockingbird targeted two Washington-based journalists, Robert S. Allen and Paul J. Scott, who wrote the syndicated "Allen-Scott Report." These columnists had a knack for publishing articles laced with highly classified CIA details—information so sensitive it included Top Secret and Special Intelligence data. Their scoops, often sourced from government insiders, rattled the Kennedy administration, particularly after a July 26, 1962, New York Times article by Hanson Baldwin exposed details of a National Intelligence Estimate comparing U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals. President John F. Kennedy, incensed by such leaks, sought to plug the holes. The operation was a collaborative effort, greenlit by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Joseph Carroll. The CIA’s Office of Security, led by Sheffield Edwards, executed the wiretapping, monitoring the journalists’ home and office phones. The surveillance results identified congressional sources, including then-Speaker of the House John McCormack, who spoke with Scott on March 26, 1963. The "Family Jewels"—a 1973 CIA document declassified in 2007—later exposed this operation, revealing its scope and raising questions about its legality. Daniel L. Pines, a CIA Assistant General Counsel, argued in a 2009 Indiana Law Journal review that the wiretapping likely violated legal bounds, as its primary aim was to trace leaks rather than gather foreign intelligence. This historical Project Mockingbird, though limited in duration and scope, planted a seed of distrust between the government, the press, and the public—a seed that would grow into a broader narrative of media manipulation. From Wiretaps to Media Empire While Project Mockingbird of 1963 was a discrete surveillance effort, it became conflated with a larger CIA program dubbed "Operation Mockingbird." This narrative emerged most prominently in Deborah Davis’s 1979 book, Katharine the Great, which claimed that the CIA, under Frank Wisner of the Office of Policy Coordination, had systematically infiltrated American media starting in the 1950s. Davis alleged that Wisner recruited Washington Post publisher Phil Graham to orchestrate a propaganda network, embedding CIA-friendly journalists in outlets like The New York Times, Newsweek, and CBS. Cord Meyer, a key CIA figure, was said to have taken the reins in 1951, expanding the operation’s reach. The Church Committee’s 1975-1976 investigation lent some credence to these claims, uncovering CIA ties to around 50 American journalists and covert funding of front groups like the National Student Association, exposed by Ramparts magazine in 1967. Carl Bernstein’s 1977 Rolling Stone article, "The CIA and the Media," further detailed how over 400 U.S. journalists had covertly worked with the CIA, often disseminating propaganda abroad that would then filter back to domestic audiences. the CIA admitted overreach. By 1976, under Director George H.W. Bush, the CIA publicly pledged to end paid relationships with U.S. journalists. Yet, skeptics argued the agency merely shifted tactics, maintaining influence through foreign media outlets that indirectly shaped American narratives. The line between historical fact and conspiracy theory blurred, setting the stage for modern reinterpretations of Mockingbird’s legacy. They claim. The Turning Point came in 2013 and the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act Fast forward to July 2, 2013, a date that marks a pivotal shift in the Mockingbird saga. Under President Barack Obama, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act—embedded in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)—took effect. This legislation amended the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, commonly known as the Smith-Mundt Act, which had long barred government-funded broadcasters like Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty—overseen by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (now the U.S. Agency for Global Media, USAGM)—from disseminating their content domestically.

The 2013 amendment, co-sponsored by Representatives Adam Smith (D-WA) and Mac Thornberry (R-TX), lifted this restriction, allowing USAGM content to be requested and accessed by Americans. Proponents hailed it as a transparency win, arguing that taxpayers deserved to see what their dollars funded—news and programming in 61 languages, reaching over 100 countries. Critics, however, saw it as a Pandora’s box.

That is a full spectrum takeover of the information architecture that tens of millions of Americans use to form their understanding of the world. Radio. Digital. SEO. AI. Independent media trust transfer. All of it. This crap has been running full-throttle since January 2025 while every single host it produced called Tucker Carlson compromised by foreign influence. The infiltration did not start in September 2025 when the filing became public. That is just when concealment became legally impossible. The infiltration started the moment he walked through Salem's door in January 2025 and nobody told a single host, a single listener, or a single viewer what was being built inside the organization they trusted. And then it spreads. Because that is exactly how ecosystem capture works. It does not stay inside Salem's walls. It moves. It travels through the trust networks that connect conservative media voices to each other and to the independent platforms their audiences migrated to when they stopped trusting legacy media. Here's a GREAT (or terrible) example of the way this virus has spread ⬇️ March 28th 2026. Sean Hannity 🇺🇸, an active Salem Media voice, sits in Patrick Bet-David's representing the good 'ole America First 'MAGA' seeded chair on PBD Podcast Episode 766. PBD is away. No disclosure. No context. No mention of any of this to millions of viewers who came to independent media specifically to escape narrative management. What follows is fourteen months of foreign-funded editorial architecture finally reaching PBD's audience through a borrowed credibility transfer. Hannity primes the audience emotionally with October 7th. It starts with Adam- "why do they have all this money, they must be, they run the..." and stops himself dead on camera. The words that follow are embarrassing to say the least. The Biz Doc confirms AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱 lobbies every senator and uses the pharmaceutical industry as his defense. Come'on man, you're WAY too smart for that line of messaging. Tom, you have run 9 figure operations. That line is not analysis. That is the talking point of someone who either does not want to answer the question or CAN'T. And to see VINCENT OSHANA end this clip below... just wild. Sad, if we're being honest. Sean Hannity 🇺🇸 attacks Muslim theology using a claim that does not appear anywhere in the Quran. The 72 virgins figure comes from a single hadith in Sunan al-Tirmidhi that mainstream Islamic scholars themselves classify as weak. Weak means the chain of transmission is questioned by the religion's own scholarly tradition. This is not obscure information. This is first page Islamic theology. You just told 1.8 billion people what their religion teaches based on a source their own scholars debate. That is not commentary on radical Islamic terrorism. That is you confidently misrepresenting an entire civilization's theology to millions of viewers who trusted you for accuracy. Vinny said it himself. You are meshing radical Islamic terrorism with an entire culture. Then kept going anyway. That sequence did not come from four people having an organic conversation. That sequence came from fourteen months of a foreign government's Chief Strategy Officer sitting inside the editorial architecture of the network one of those four people broadcasts on every single day. PBD built his credibility on forensic financial analysis and uncomfortable questions. That credibility is real. BUT on March 28th his large platform and podcast was used as the delivery mechanism for a content sequence that a federal filing tells you was purchased by a FOREIGN INTERESTED government. His audience's defenses were down. They believed they were watching something different. They were not watching something different. They were watching the same infrastructure in a different chair with a different logo in the background. This is what modern foreign influence actually looks like. Not a spy. Not a dead drop. Not a covert handler. A Chief Strategy Officer title. An editorial calendar. A GPT framing operation embedding pro-Israel narratives into the AI systems your audience uses before they know what question to ask. An SEO architecture determining what your search results look like. 50 million American digital impressions per month. A trust transfer operation spreading from Salem to Fox to independent media platforms whose audiences specifically came there to escape this. And every single Salem host who carried this operation for fourteen months spent that same fourteen months calling Tucker Carlson compromised by foreign influence. The projection was the operation. The accusation was the cover. And it spread all the way to Patrick Bet-David's chair before anyone said a word about what was sitting behind it. The infiltration is documented. The spread is documented. The filing is public. The only question left is who else is reading from a script they didn't know was being written for them? How many guest appearances have been infiltrated by the likes of propaganda artists like Brad Parscale? These are your enemies, not me for calling it out. And to Brad Parscale 👇 You are a native Kansas-born American citizen who was handed the Chief Strategy Officer title of America's largest Christian conservative radio network and used it to file a $9 million foreign agent registration for the Government of Israel. The Fort Lauderdale police report is public record. The FARA filing is public record. Both documents exist. Both tell you everything you need to know about the man shaping what American conservatives hear, read, search, and believe. POLITICO published the police report. Search on Google: ‘Brad Parscale hits her’: Former Trump campaign manager accused of domestic violence This is the man formulating the entire media propaganda we see today.

The Global Election Fraud Cartel and how U.S. taxpayer dollars, A-WEB, and USAID, fuel and manage a global web of election fraud, with lies, manipulation, and election equipment technology. In a world where democracy is hailed as the ultimate beacon of freedom, a shadowy alliance of international organizations and tech firms is accused of turning ballots into battlegrounds. (High quality link to documents in video at bottom of post). At the center of this storm? The Association of World Election Bodies (A-WEB), a South Korean-led entity bankrolled by American taxpayers through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), alongside controversial players like Miru Systems, Smartmatic, and Dominion Voting Systems. What started as a noble quest to "export democracy" to developing nations has devolved into a whirlwind of fraud allegations, bloody riots, and overturned results across continents. Buckle up, this isn't just about rigged votes, it's about your hard-earned dollars propping up a system that critics say is eroding trust in elections worldwide, including right here in the U.S. and over 100+ countries worldwide. The birth of A-WEB, a Korean export with American funding. Founded in 2013 under the auspices of South Korea's National Election Commission (NEC), A-WEB bills itself as the world's largest network for sharing election know-how. With over 100 member countries, it promotes "best practices" through training, tech exports, and free central servers for electronic voting systems. Sounds altruistic? A-WEB's operations are fully funded by the NEC, which in turn receives U.S. support via USAID. In 2014, A-WEB inked Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with USAID and other U.S.-backed groups like the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), Democracy International (DI), the National Democratic Institute (NDI), and the International Republican Institute (IRI). These pacts focus on capacity building, election law reforms, and tech dissemination in emerging democracies— all subsidized by American foreign aid, which totals billions annually. But here's the catch, critics allege A-WEB isn't just sharing expertise, it's exporting vulnerability. Using Official Development Assistance (ODA) funds, A-WEB has installed central servers and facilitated electronic voting machine deals in nations like Fiji, Argentina, El Salvador, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ecuador, Romania, Dominica, Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, Bolivia, South Africa, and Belarus. In nearly every case, scandals erupted. A-WEB's first Secretary-General, Kim Yong-hee, faced a 2018 probe by South Korean prosecutors over cash bribes from Miru Systems, a key supplier. Though cleared, the NEC slashed A-WEB's budget amid the fallout, highlighting a rift fueled by persistent suspicions of collusion. USAID's role? As a major funder of global democracy programs, it pours taxpayer money into these initiatives under the guise of advancing "free and fair elections." Yet, recent scrutiny reveals USAID's broader controversies. From accusations of interfering in foreign politics to "brainwashing" recipients through aid strings, critics like the Global Times argue it's a tool for U.S. hegemony. In Trump's second term, cuts to USAID have sparked debates about militarizing aid or withdrawing from international bodies, but the election tech pipeline persists. Miru Systems. The "Cheating Machines" at the heart of global chaos. Enter Miru Systems, a South Korean firm with a mere handful of years in the game, yet it's become A-WEB's go-to for electronic voting tech. Allegations paint Miru as the villain in a string of electoral disasters. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi fired commission members on corruption charges, with fingers pointed at collusion between Iraqi officials and Miru. Iraq (2018), Miru snagged an exclusive $150 million contract via A-WEB's push, supplying machines for the parliamentary elections. Chaos ensued. Explosions at ballot storage sites, fraud claims, and a manual recount flipped winners. The media exposed how Iraq's election commission ignored warnings about the machines' vulnerabilities to hacking and manipulation. An opposition leader even flew to Seoul to protest. Democratic Republic of Congo (2018), A-WEB brokered a $160 million deal for 107,000 Miru touchscreen units. Western nations, including the U.S., warned of fraud risks under President Joseph Kabila. Post-election riots killed dozens as locals dubbed them "cheating machines." The South Korean government distanced itself, but protests spilled to Miru's headquarters. Kyrgyzstan (2020), A-WEB-provided servers fueled protests over rigged results favoring President Sooronbay Jeenbekov's allies. The Central Election Commission annulled the vote amid corruption claims tied to Miru's tech. Critics argue these systems, prone to hacking, with QR code readers and wireless laptops, are blueprints for manipulation, mirroring South Korea's own 2020 controversies. Miru's woes extend to the Philippines, where it's bidding on 2025 elections despite fraud tags from Congo and Iraq. Smartmatic and Dominion, the U.S. connection, and a regime change global operation. While A-WEB and Miru dominate the export narrative, U.S.-linked firms Smartmatic and Dominion add fuel to the fire. Smartmatic, a Venezuelan-founded giant with operations in London, the Philippines, and Taiwan, showcased its touchscreen machines at a 2014 A-WEB event in Seoul, attended by USAID partners.

The Global Election Fraud Cartel and how U.S. taxpayer dollars, A-WEB, and USAID, fuel and manage a global web of election fraud, with lies, manipulation, and election equipment technology. In a world where democracy is hailed as the ultimate beacon of freedom, a shadowy alliance of international organizations and tech firms is accused of turning ballots into battlegrounds. (High quality link to documents in video at bottom of post). At the center of this storm? The Association of World Election Bodies (A-WEB), a South Korean-led entity bankrolled by American taxpayers through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), alongside controversial players like Miru Systems, Smartmatic, and Dominion Voting Systems. What started as a noble quest to "export democracy" to developing nations has devolved into a whirlwind of fraud allegations, bloody riots, and overturned results across continents. Buckle up, this isn't just about rigged votes, it's about your hard-earned dollars propping up a system that critics say is eroding trust in elections worldwide, including right here in the U.S. and over 100+ countries worldwide. The birth of A-WEB, a Korean export with American funding. Founded in 2013 under the auspices of South Korea's National Election Commission (NEC), A-WEB bills itself as the world's largest network for sharing election know-how. With over 100 member countries, it promotes "best practices" through training, tech exports, and free central servers for electronic voting systems. Sounds altruistic? A-WEB's operations are fully funded by the NEC, which in turn receives U.S. support via USAID. In 2014, A-WEB inked Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with USAID and other U.S.-backed groups like the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), Democracy International (DI), the National Democratic Institute (NDI), and the International Republican Institute (IRI). These pacts focus on capacity building, election law reforms, and tech dissemination in emerging democracies— all subsidized by American foreign aid, which totals billions annually. But here's the catch, critics allege A-WEB isn't just sharing expertise, it's exporting vulnerability. Using Official Development Assistance (ODA) funds, A-WEB has installed central servers and facilitated electronic voting machine deals in nations like Fiji, Argentina, El Salvador, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ecuador, Romania, Dominica, Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, Bolivia, South Africa, and Belarus. In nearly every case, scandals erupted. A-WEB's first Secretary-General, Kim Yong-hee, faced a 2018 probe by South Korean prosecutors over cash bribes from Miru Systems, a key supplier. Though cleared, the NEC slashed A-WEB's budget amid the fallout, highlighting a rift fueled by persistent suspicions of collusion. USAID's role? As a major funder of global democracy programs, it pours taxpayer money into these initiatives under the guise of advancing "free and fair elections." Yet, recent scrutiny reveals USAID's broader controversies. From accusations of interfering in foreign politics to "brainwashing" recipients through aid strings, critics like the Global Times argue it's a tool for U.S. hegemony. In Trump's second term, cuts to USAID have sparked debates about militarizing aid or withdrawing from international bodies, but the election tech pipeline persists. Miru Systems. The "Cheating Machines" at the heart of global chaos. Enter Miru Systems, a South Korean firm with a mere handful of years in the game, yet it's become A-WEB's go-to for electronic voting tech. Allegations paint Miru as the villain in a string of electoral disasters. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi fired commission members on corruption charges, with fingers pointed at collusion between Iraqi officials and Miru. Iraq (2018), Miru snagged an exclusive $150 million contract via A-WEB's push, supplying machines for the parliamentary elections. Chaos ensued. Explosions at ballot storage sites, fraud claims, and a manual recount flipped winners. The media exposed how Iraq's election commission ignored warnings about the machines' vulnerabilities to hacking and manipulation. An opposition leader even flew to Seoul to protest. Democratic Republic of Congo (2018), A-WEB brokered a $160 million deal for 107,000 Miru touchscreen units. Western nations, including the U.S., warned of fraud risks under President Joseph Kabila. Post-election riots killed dozens as locals dubbed them "cheating machines." The South Korean government distanced itself, but protests spilled to Miru's headquarters. Kyrgyzstan (2020), A-WEB-provided servers fueled protests over rigged results favoring President Sooronbay Jeenbekov's allies. The Central Election Commission annulled the vote amid corruption claims tied to Miru's tech. Critics argue these systems, prone to hacking, with QR code readers and wireless laptops, are blueprints for manipulation, mirroring South Korea's own 2020 controversies. Miru's woes extend to the Philippines, where it's bidding on 2025 elections despite fraud tags from Congo and Iraq. Smartmatic and Dominion, the U.S. connection, and a regime change global operation. While A-WEB and Miru dominate the export narrative, U.S.-linked firms Smartmatic and Dominion add fuel to the fire. Smartmatic, a Venezuelan-founded giant with operations in London, the Philippines, and Taiwan, showcased its touchscreen machines at a 2014 A-WEB event in Seoul, attended by USAID partners. It boasts success in the Philippines and Venezuela but faces bribery scandals. In 2023, executives were indicted for a $1 million scheme to rig Philippine contracts. A fugitive exec even pushed Smartmatic tech in Texas. Dominion, a Canadian-U.S. firm with servers in Serbia and Germany, licensed software from Smartmatic (leading to a 2012 lawsuit). Owned by Staple Street Capital (with ties to UBS Securities and Chinese board members), it's been dogged by 2020 U.S. fraud claims, "debunked" in court but amplified in defamation suits against media like Fox News, settling for $787 million, that is now looking like this ruling could be reversed or a new lawsuit could be in the works, especially with multiple states now confirming new evidence that is brewing behind closed doors.

alright let’s do a class on nielsen ratings / witness a timeline murder? i’m about to spin the block. the programming insider screenshots below are for weds, march 31. Programming Insider is one of the few places that just posts the raw nielsen grid without spin. every demo every network every show laid out the way buyers sellers and network executives actually read it. it’s not a recap site it’s not opinion it’s the sheet and if you’re not reading the sheet you’re not actually talking about the same thing as the people making the decisions 730k and a 0.15 in adults 18–49 is a real number and it maps cleanly within the expected range. nobody serious disputes that. in the current environment you’re generally looking at: 0.10 ≈ 580k–610k 0.11 ≈ 600k–630k 0.12 ≈ 620k–660k 0.13 ≈ 650k–690k 0.14 ≈ 680k–720k 0.15 ≈ 710k–750k 0.16 ≈ 740k–790k 0.17 ≈ 780k–830k 0.18 ≈ 820k–880k 0.19 ≈ 860k–920k 0.20 ≈ 900k–960k the issue is how often people stop there and treat it like a conclusion instead of the starting point. because a single demo pulled out of context doesn’t tell you what kind of number it actually was what kind of audience it represents or what it means in a real marketplace start with the full AEW row because that’s the foundation. AEW on TBS for 121 minutes posted: 0.44 household rating 0.12 adults 18–34 0.15 adults 18–49 0.09 women 18–49 0.20 men 18–49 0.22 adults 25–54 0.13 women 25–54 0.30 men 25–54 0.10 persons 12–34 0.07 females 12–34 0.12 males 12–34 0.03 teens 12–17 730k total viewers 6th in adults 18–49 12th in total viewers that’s the entire result. not the tweet version not the clipped version not the one number people like to repeat. that full row is the reality and once you actually read it the first thing that matters is not the 0.15 it’s how that 0.15 is built 0.20 men 18–49 0.09 women 18–49 that’s not a subtle imbalance that’s the number. this is not a broad demo performance it’s a concentrated one. when one side of the demo is doing more than double the work of the other side you are not looking at wide audience adoption you are looking at a defined lane showing up consistently and that distinction is everything because certain faux authorities talk about 0.15 like it’s a universal currency when it’s not. a 0.15 built on something like 0.14 women and 0.16 men is a fundamentally different asset than a 0.15 built on 0.09 women and 0.20 men. one is balanced one is narrow. one has flexibility across advertisers scheduling and audience expansion the other is predictable reliable and capped this one is clearly the latter same story in 25–54 0.30 men 25–54 0.13 women 25–54 again more than double same structural dependence same ceiling implication and then you go younger and nothing changes 0.12 adults 18–34 0.10 persons 12–34 0.12 males 12–34 0.07 females 12–34 it’s the same shape repeated across demos which tells you this is not a one week anomaly it’s the product identity. stable consistent defined not expanding and that’s where the difference between narrow reliability and broad strategic heat actually shows up in the data this is reliable. the audience shows up. the profile is predictable. the show holds its lane it is not broad. it is not expanding. it is not signaling that new segments are coming into the tent and changing the ceiling of the property that’s not opinion that’s what the row says now zoom out to the actual cable landscape that night because this is where context starts to cut through the noise Hannity 0.50 NBA on ESPN 0.36 Jesse Watters Primetime 0.28 Gutfeld 0.25 The Source with Kaitlan Collins 0.18 AEW Dynamite 0.15 that’s the board. that’s the tiering. AEW is not competing with the leaders it’s sitting clearly below them in the next band the gap from 0.15 to 0.18 is real the gap from 0.15 to 0.25 is large the gap from 0.15 to 0.36 and 0.50 is massive and this is where people get sloppy because they use ranking to imply proximity when there isn’t any the placements are: 6th in adults 18–49 12th in total viewers those are good placements for a cable property they are not dominant placements and they are not close to dominant placements. 12th at 730k tells you exactly how much total audience is actually there across the full market not just the demo slice people like to highlight and that matters because scale still matters. total audience still matters. you don’t get to ignore it just because the demo is easier to weaponize quickly on the presidential address because this keeps getting dragged in like it explains something and it doesn’t a brief presidential address is not real competition it’s not counterprogramming it’s not sustained audience capture it’s a short interruption that hits every network at the same time. everyone gets disrupted nobody gets singled out. it doesn’t change relative positioning it doesn’t create winners or losers it’s just noise in the system and leaning on it is basically avoiding what the table actually shows same thing with hourly ranks 3rd in an hour 4th in an hour fine but relative to what. if the field is thin outside a few programs you can place well in a window and still be materially behind the actual leaders. a 0.15 does not become a 0.25 because it ranked 3rd it stays a 0.15 now zoom out even further and look at the broader tv ecosystem broadcast that same night is pulling 4M 5M viewers with broader demo balance. different ecosystem yes but it gives you scale perspective. cable is fragmented expectations are different a 0.15 can be a good cable number but that does not make it a market moving television number it makes it solid within its lane and that’s where most of the conversation should stop but it doesn’t because once you layer in actual market structure the ratings matter even less than people think they do the buyer universe is not theoretical it is already allocated high tier buyers netflix amazon apple all operate at 600k+ per telecast levels but only for global scalable franchise inventory netflix has already consolidated the global wwe backbone across raw international distribution and library. there is no incentive to layer overlapping wrestling inventory into that system amazon is deploying capital into nfl nba nascar and large scale league ecosystems. servicing ppv distribution is not the same thing as underwriting long term weekly rights. there is no mandate for niche weekly wrestling at scale apple is curating a premium global sports portfolio aligned with brand identity. nothing niche nothing polarizing nothing demo fragmented clears that filter mid tier buyers disney espn already has wwe premium live events and massive nfl nba and college football commitments. the wrestling lane is already defined at the tentpole level fox is concentrated on nfl and big ten with disciplined incremental spend and no mandate for a second wrestling property peacock is structurally tied into wwe across events and library footprint. that lane is occupied paramount plus max post merger is sitting on one of the heaviest combat sports portfolios in the market ufc at roughly 1.1b per year zuffa boxing pbr nfl afc that is category consolidation not exploration. any additional combat adjacent inventory has to clear duplication against that stack turner inside that same structure is no longer operating independently. it is part of a combined portfolio that already has a defined combat sports identity low tier buyers roku tubi vice are operating in the 150k–300k per telecast range and are not positioned to escalate into premium rights competition so when you actually map the landscape it’s not that buyers are hesitant it’s that lanes are already filled there is no real second bidder dynamic and once you remove the idea of competitive bidding the ratings stop functioning as leverage they become a utility metric now go back to the numbers 0.15 730k male heavy composition those are not bad numbers they are just not strong enough to override strategic redundancy inside a portfolio that already includes ufc and global wwe alignment across multiple platforms so the conversation shifts this is no longer what will the market pay this becomes what is this worth inside our existing portfolio can we fill two hours cheaper can we replicate the demo with studio shows shoulder programming unscripted if yes there is no leverage if no it stays but on controlled terms that’s the real decision tree and this is where the difference between narrow reliability and broad strategic heat becomes the entire story this is reliable inventory. it shows up every week it delivers a consistent demo it fills two hours it holds a lane it is not broad strategic heat. it does not expand the audience map it does not unlock new advertiser categories it does not create urgency across buyers it does not force capital to move and that’s not a criticism it’s a classification so the clean read is simple the number is real the audience is still there the composition is still narrow the placement is still upper middle and none of that on its own creates leverage in a market that is already structurally allocated this is a property negotiating inside someone else’s portfolio not across an open market and that leads to the only conclusion that actually matters once capital is already deployed across nfl nba ufc and global wwe distribution and once the high tier buyers are structurally filtered out this stops being a rights negotiation driven by ratings and becomes an internal portfolio decision driven by overlap cost efficiency and replacement value. at that point a steady 0.15 does not create leverage it defines the floor of what that two hour block is worth relative to everything else competing for the same capital and now add the part everyone either ignores or pretends doesn’t exist TKO is effectively sitting on ~100% of premium combat sports market share at scale when you look at UFC plus WWE across global distribution lanes. that’s not just another player in the category that is the category so when you’re talking about where AEW fits you’re not comparing it in a vacuum you’re comparing it against the most consolidated combat sports stack the business has ever seen and that stack isn’t just operating independently Ari Emanuel has been advising David Ellison for 15+ years that relationship matters because it shapes how these portfolios are thought about at the highest level. this isn’t random alignment this is long term strategic overlap between the people actually making decisions about where billions in rights fees go so when you layer that on top of a potential Paramount controlled WBD structure you’re not just dealing with ratings anymore you’re dealing with a fully informed portfolio strategy that already knows exactly what it values in combat sports and what it doesn’t and then you zoom all the way out to cultural positioning because this part matters more than people think Pat McAfee is in the main event at WrestleMania that’s not a throwaway detail that’s the signal that’s WWE extending into mainstream sports media personalities who already command massive audiences across multiple platforms and pulling them into the biggest event in the space that’s what broad strategic heat actually looks like not just a consistent demo number not just reliable weekly inventory but expansion into new audience layers new distribution touchpoints and new cultural relevance that travels outside the core base so when you put all of this together the picture gets even clearer AEW is stable AEW is reliable AEW fills a lane but it’s operating in a market where the category leader already controls the majority of premium combat IP the decision makers are aligned at the highest levels the buyer universe is structurally closed and the biggest player is actively expanding its cultural footprint beyond wrestling itself that’s the environment so yes a 0.15 matters. yes 730k matters the number isn’t fake the number isn’t terrible the number is specific it tells you exactly what the show is right now it tells you the core audience showed up it tells you that audience is heavily male it tells you women are materially underrepresented it tells you the show converts to about 730k it tells you where it sits on the night it tells you the audience shape hasn’t changed what it doesn’t tell you matters just as much it doesn’t tell you the audience is expanding it doesn’t tell you the show is broadening it doesn’t tell you the ceiling moved this was a good night for a show with a defined audience but none of it overrides the reality that this is being evaluated inside a system that already knows what “must have” looks like and right now that bar is being set somewhere else entirely cc: Dave Meltzer

doesn’t and then you zoom all the way out to cultural positioning because this part matters more than people think Pat McAfee is in the main event at WrestleMania that’s not a throwaway detail that’s the signal that’s WWE extending into mainstream sports media personalities who already command massive audiences across multiple platforms and pulling them into the biggest event in the space that’s what broad strategic heat actually looks like not just a consistent demo number not just reliable weekly inventory but expansion into new audience layers new distribution touchpoints and new cultural relevance that travels outside the core base so when you put all of this together the picture gets even clearer AEW is stable AEW is reliable AEW fills a lane but it’s operating in a market where the category leader already controls the majority of premium combat IP the decision makers are aligned at the highest levels the buyer universe is structurally closed and the biggest player is actively expanding its cultural footprint beyond wrestling itself that’s the environment so yes a 0.15 matters. yes 730k matters the number isn’t fake the number isn’t terrible the number is specific it tells you exactly what the show is right now it tells you the core audience showed up it tells you that audience is heavily male it tells you women are materially underrepresented it tells you the show converts to about 730k it tells you where it sits on the night it tells you the audience shape hasn’t changed what it doesn’t tell you matters just as much it doesn’t tell you the audience is expanding it doesn’t tell you the show is broadening it doesn’t tell you the ceiling moved this was a good night for a show with a defined audience but none of it overrides the reality that this is being evaluated inside a system that already knows what “must have” looks like and right now that bar is being set somewhere else entirely cc: Dave Meltzer

UAE plans world’s first underwater bullet train connecting Dubai to Mumbai | Joseph Shavit, Brighter Side of News UAE unveils plans for a record-breaking underwater train linking Dubai and Mumbai, blending high-speed travel with marine views. A groundbreaking transportation project is in the works—one that could forever change how long-distance travel is imagined. The United Arab Emirates has revealed plans for a massive underwater train that would connect the port city of Fujairah with Mumbai, India’s financial hub. Covering nearly 1,200 miles beneath the Arabian Sea, this engineering marvel aims to combine speed, luxury, and scenic immersion. With a projected travel speed between 600 and 1,000 kilometers per hour, the journey promises to outpace flights, offering a smoother, more visually captivating experience. “This is not just about transport, but an immersive experience,” said Dr. Ahmed Al Hariri, who leads the UAE’s National Advisor Bureau. The train, initially floated as an idea in 2018, is no longer a mere concept. Now actively pursued, it blends utility with spectacle. Panoramic windows lining the tunnel will allow travelers to witness the vibrant underwater world while racing beneath the waves. With both countries looking to expand trade and tourism, the project is more than a marvel—it’s a strategic bridge between two thriving regions. Beyond Transit: Trade, Tourism, and Rivalry This high-speed rail isn’t solely about moving people across borders. It’s designed to serve dual purposes—transporting goods such as freshwater from India to the UAE and oil in the reverse direction. Dubai sees it as a way to deepen trade partnerships with India while also redefining what tourism can be. As the UAE pushes ahead, the project has stirred comparisons with Saudi Arabia’s $1 trillion NEOM city initiative. Both Gulf nations are competing to lead the region’s next wave of futuristic infrastructure. If Dubai completes this undersea route before NEOM opens its doors, it could gain a symbolic edge. Sara Ahmed, a travel blogger based in Dubai, emphasized the project’s allure: “The underwater train isn’t just about getting from point A to B. It’s about relishing the wonders of the marine world.” The rivalry isn’t just about spectacle. Both countries aim to become global symbols of innovation. While Saudi Arabia builds artificial islands and futuristic skylines, the UAE is diving into the ocean to carve out its legacy. The Technical Mountain Ahead Building such a colossal structure beneath the sea comes with significant engineering and financial challenges. The train would need to withstand intense water pressure, ensure passenger safety at high speeds, and deliver reliability over thousands of trips. There are also psychological barriers to overcome—some people may feel claustrophobic or uneasy traveling deep underwater. Rajesh Verma, a businessman in Mumbai, expressed caution: “I’ve always been wary of the ocean’s depths. As much as I love the idea, I’ll likely stick to conventional modes of transport.” For many, it’s not just about the technology, but the comfort of knowing it works without flaws. Still, the financial commitment is not the UAE’s greatest concern. With deep pockets and a track record of delivering iconic projects—from the world’s tallest skyscraper to the man-made Palm Islands—Dubai’s leaders are more focused on technological feasibility than on cost. Experts estimate the project could cost several billion dollars, depending on materials, design, and the tunnel’s complexity. Initial reports suggest the use of transparent materials instead of traditional opaque bricks, creating a unique window into the marine ecosystem. That vision aligns with the broader goal of crafting an unforgettable travel experience rather than just a faster commute. A Journey Like No Other If completed, the Dubai-Mumbai train will dwarf the Channel Tunnel between England and France in both scale and ambition. While the Channel Tunnel spans just 35 miles and runs at modest speeds of 70 miles per hour, this new project plans to stretch over 1,200 miles and operate at speeds ten times faster. Passengers will not just travel—they will encounter an oceanic world through the train’s clear walls. The experience could easily find a place on travelers’ bucket lists. Some have already begun referring to it as the "Deep Blue Express." However, the question remains: can such a massive project be delivered safely and sustainably? Those behind the project believe so. A feasibility report is now being commissioned to explore the materials, construction methods, and environmental impact. That report will shape whether the idea remains a dream or becomes the world's most advanced rail system. The train’s potential extends beyond engineering or aesthetics. It’s a bold statement about how humans can rethink geography. It’s a bridge between cultures, markets, and innovations. Whether it becomes a staple of global travel or serves as inspiration for future projects, the underwater train project already stands as a testament to human vision and determination. What the Future Holds The success of this bold venture will rest on more than just construction. Public confidence, regulatory approvals, and environmental planning must align. Nonetheless, the Dubai-Mumbai train has sparked imaginations across the world and ignited new discussions about what’s possible in global travel. At a time when nations are reimagining how cities and transport networks interact, this project represents the next logical step: one that literally plunges into uncharted waters. As with most pioneering ventures, it may take years, if not decades, to complete. But its very announcement pushes the boundaries of what’s considered possible. Whether you one day ride the Deep Blue Express or watch its progress from afar, its story marks a new era in engineering and global connection. And for the UAE, it’s another chance to show that when it comes to bold ideas, no challenge is too deep.

In the spring of 2022, former President Barack Obama gave a major policy addressat Stanford University’s Cyber Policy Center, where he laid out a sweeping proposal for government censorship of social media platforms through the Platform Accountability and Transparency Act. Six days later, President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security announced that it had created a “Disinformation Governance Board” to serve as an Orwellian Ministry of Truth with the clear goal of controlling the information Americans could access online. At the heart of Obama’s vision for Internet censorship was legislation that would have authorized the US government’s National Science Foundation to authorize and fund supposedly independent NGOs to censor the Internet. The DHS and Stanford Internet Observatory, which was part of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, pioneered this censorship-by-proxy strategy as a way to get around the First Amendment in 2020 with posts raising concerns about the 2020 elections and in 2021 with “narratives” expressing concern about the Covid vaccine. The 2024 election of President Donald Trump significantly reduced the threat of Obama, DHS, and NSF censoring the American people. Trump defunded much of the Censorship Industrial Complex. The Platform Accountability Act is going nowhere in Congress. Elon Musk fired most of the censorship staff at Twitter and has allowed a significantly wider range of speech on the platform. And even before Trump’s election, Stanford donor Frank McCourt stopped funding the Stanford Internet Observatory after Public, Racket News, and House Weaponization Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan exposed its central role in the DHS censorship-by-proxy scheme. But now, foreign governments, including Europe, the UK, Brazil, Australia, and others are demanding censorship, including of the American people. The risk is that US tech companies will find it significantly less expensive to have a single global censorship regime and just go along with foreign censorship requests. Facebook complied with Biden administration demands to censor because it needed Biden’s help in dealing with European censorship officials. And the Brazilian government forced Elon Musk to continue censoring the Brazilian people after it froze Starlink’s assets. And Public has discovered that the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, which is led by Obama’s former ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, is at the heart of a new, secretive, and possibly illegal censorship initiative that appears even more ambitious than the one Obama proposed in 2022. On September 24, the Cyber Policy Center hosted a secret dinner between its leaders and top censorship officials from Europe, UK, Brazil, California and Australia. The meeting was titled “Compliance and Enforcement in a Rapidly Evolving Landscape.” Frank McCourt, the same person behind the Stanford Internet Observatory, financed the gathering through his “Project Liberty Institute,” (PLI), toward which he gave $500 million to “strengthen democracy” and “foster responsible technology.” Public emailed all 21 participants and organizers and only heard from four, PLI, the Australian government, the UK government, and the European Union, which declined to comment because, even though Public gave it over 24 hours, a spokesperson said, “We would need several days.” The UK government said, “The legal framework gives Ofcom power to enforce the duties in the Act which are related to securing protections for people in the UK; it does not give Ofcom powers to enforce under any other legal regimes…. Ofcom has always engaged with various international forums and networks across all of the sectors we regulate, including online safety, spectrum, telecommunications, post, and broadcast and media. Regulators around the world regularly exchange insights, experience, and best practice.” A spokesperson for PLI said it “has made unrestricted gifts to several academic research programs, including Stanford University” and that “PLI does not receive funding from governments, intergovernmental organizations, or large technology companies.” But PLI’s own policy “blueprint” reveals that it is demanding a single total global censorship regime and intends to use the EU’s market power, known as the “Brussels effect,” to force big tech companies to comply. The blueprint calls for governments to “Recommit to a Single, Global Internet,” with “regulatory interoperability and oversight, to achieve a single unified market” and use the large size of the EU market to “drive bilateral and multilateral agendas to formally enshrine reciprocal guarantees.” A spokesperson for the Australian government said, “Whilst in attendance at Stanford for the 2-day conference, some attendees, including trust and safety researchers, industry, civil society, and government representatives, were also invited to attend an informal evening roundtable event organised by Stanford University entitled, ‘Compliance and Enforcement in a Rapidly Evolving Landscape.’ This roundtable did not involve any discussion of compliance coordination or regulatory information sharing.” The Australian spokesperson claimed that “eSafety has no role in regulating hate speech or disinformation. eSafety has no remit or interest in regulating the affairs of other nations, nor does it have any role in diplomatic, trade or other government-to-government relations.” But it also said, “As the internet is global and functions irrespective of national borders, by necessity eSafety collaborates with law enforcement, other government agencies, and non-government partners around the world, including in the United States.” The leaked agenda’s stated purpose was to “discuss the state of compliance and enforcement” in order to “identify where data, research, and expertise can enable more effective compliance with and enforcement of existing policy.” Much of the following two days of the public conference were focused on coordinating government censorship (“regulation”) of social media platforms, and the other nations that attended the meeting are all intensively involved in censoring their citizens and US tech companies. And, the head of Australia’s eSafety, Julie Inman-Grant, who was a keynote speaker at Stanford’s foreign censorship meeting, is also the head of a global government censorship network that serves as forum, she told the World Economic Forum, “to help us coordinate, build capacity and do just that…. We use the tools that we have, and can be effective, but we know we’re going to be, go, much further, when we work together with other like-minded independent statutory authorities around the globe.” As such, the people who are demanding censorship are once again spreading disinformation about what they are doing. All of this is happening in a context of global censorship intensifying. The UK government arrests 30 people per day for “offensive” social media posts, is attempting to censor 4Chan, which has no servers in the UK, and will mandate digital IDs for employment, which may give unprecedented control to politicians and bureaucrats to censor. The Brazilian government has, for year,s been censoring journalists and policymakers, incarcerating people for legal social media content, and threatening prosecution of journalists, including this author. And several European nations are censoring and arresting their citizens, preventing opposition political candidates from running for office, and preparing to implement digital IDs. Why did Stanford Cyber Policy Center hold this meeting, what is its strategy for global censorship? Who leaked the agenda to Public and why? And what can be done to stop Stanford, Brazil, Australia, the EU and others from realizing their totalitarian censorial vision?

Sipping Coffee with America’s Internet Dad: Scott Adams | Paul Leslie, Write Revolution News You never can tell. Unless you’re Scott Adams. He knew what he would be early on. He put it this way in an interview we did in November 2024: “And so at the age of six, I decided to be a famous cartoonist. Now, so what surprised me was when it didn’t work out right away,” Scott Adams said. Dilbert is a hero But it was his previous jobs at Crocker National Bank and the Pacific Bell phone company that shaped him. The grind and absurdities of corporate life inspired Dilbert, a comic strip where the mundane became brilliantly relatable — and humorous. As Edward M. Eveld wrote in the Kansas City Star, “Dilbert is a hero to thousands.” The mind behind Dilbert Cultural commentator and fitness advocate Wyatt Torosian captures the essence of Scott Adams’ influence: “The mind behind Dilbert has lampooned office life for over three decades with the foresight — like Trump — that the culture of the business world would become synonymous with American life, in all of its absurdities and opportunities. It’s difficult to imagine having coffee in the morning with anyone else.” Countless people got a morning dopamine hit by pairing their morning mug with the funny papers. People saw themselves in Dilbert and coped with their own Pointy-Haired Boss. They still do. New ways of looking at things Scott Adams valued the art of sharing ideas and started connecting with audiences through Periscope. This evolved into Real Coffee with Scott Adams, a daily livestream and podcast going out consistently every day of the year. The topics addressed are numerous and limitless. Along with interesting takes on current events, Adams shows those in the audience that there may be new ways of looking at things. It’s not just about his take, but also how you may ponder things in new ways. Scott challenges us to think differently Rapper, author, and podcaster Zuby told me: “Scott Adams challenges people to question their own beliefs and to see life from different angles. That’s a great thing because we can never have too many critical thinkers in an increasingly complicated and polarized world.” I concur. Scott Adams is a man who looks at the human mind as an incredible tool that is frequently not used to full potential. He understands how human beings can flourish, but also inherent weaknesses and traps. He presents information and ideas unlike other speakers. A classroom in independent thinking As a broadcaster, there’s almost nobody I can compare him to. Well, except for one radio legend. I’ll let Muumuu House author and walking proponent Robert McCready give his take: “Scott Adams fills the gap left by Rush Limbaugh because he tells the audience how the media is manipulating viewers/readers. Adams talks off-mic to his audience of live streamers who send him chats, the way Limbaugh talked off-mic to Snerdly. The show feels like Limbaugh’s. Both shows began in northern California. They predict what a politician will do based on cues, subtle signals, scoops that regular people don’t get. It feels like a miracle that we’ve had either of them in the world.” I happen to feel the same way as Robert. The shows feel related, and both are a classroom in independent thought and legacy media abandonment. ‘This is a man who is willing to share what he thinks and take the heat‘ Most people don’t think of cartoonists as having a big impact on politics and the culture at large. When I think of Scott Adams’ influence, it seems unbelievable. Mark Twain’s “truth is stranger than fiction” quote comes to mind. I was able to ask ghostwriter and Scott Adams collaborator Joshua Lisec about Adams. Listen to what he had to say: “In addition to his one-of-a-kind cultural contributions in the form of entertainment, satire, humor for 40 years, he also is the most influential personal development author of all time, and it’s not even close.

Getting a personal phone call from President Trump undoubtedly did his heart good — it certainly did mine and so many others. Adams didn’t share all of the conversation.

As the smart people in this article expressed, Scott Adams is an American original. How you can fix your own mood — the Scott Adams way People like Megyn Kelly have called Scott Adams a “Trump whisperer,” and applauded him for for being “a frank communicator.” He’s been praised by the very best of them, from Ann Coulter to Monica Crowley. It’s no surprise to his fans when someone like President Trump expresses his clear respect and veneration, because so many people have been personally affected by something that Scott Adams said. For that person who loses weight, or decides to talk to an attractive stranger, or persuades their boss to give them a raise, or even just to stand a bit taller, Scott is somehow more than a star. He’s a friend. He never lectures his viewers and listeners. As he once told Carmine Gallo for “Don’t take my advice, I’m offering information.” Scott Adams has created an incredible body of useful work and entertainment that he continues to add to. Americans, and people around the world, have been changed for the better. Scott Adams finds purpose in making a difference in other’s lives. One moment from our interview sticks with me: “If you’re having a bad day that’s just unfixable, there’s nothing you can do about your own situation, at least today, tomorrow maybe is a new day, but right now you’re just in a funk. I’ll just sit there and say, ‘all right, who can I delight?’ It works every time. If you make somebody’s day and you’re useful and they simply appreciate you, you’re good all day. It’ll turn any day around and that’s just being selfish. That’s just fixing your own mood being useful.” The Presidential Medal of Freedom — an honor befitting Scott Adams With such a legacy that includes humor, self-help, and political influence, it’s no stretch to envision Scott Adams as a candidate for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honor befitting a man who continues to redefine how we think, communicate and accomplish. I think it’s possible. But either way, so many of us will get up in the morning and have our mug of coffee. We’ll sip to Scott.

Sipping Coffee with America’s Internet Dad: Scott Adams | Paul Leslie, Write Revolution News You never can tell. Unless you’re Scott Adams. He knew what he would be early on. He put it this way in an interview we did in November 2024: “And so at the age of six, I decided to be a famous cartoonist. Now, so what surprised me was when it didn’t work out right away,” Scott Adams said. Dilbert is a hero But it was his previous jobs at Crocker National Bank and the Pacific Bell phone company that shaped him. The grind and absurdities of corporate life inspired Dilbert, a comic strip where the mundane became brilliantly relatable — and humorous. As Edward M. Eveld wrote in the Kansas City Star, “Dilbert is a hero to thousands.” The mind behind Dilbert Cultural commentator and fitness advocate Wyatt Torosian captures the essence of Scott Adams’ influence: “The mind behind Dilbert has lampooned office life for over three decades with the foresight — like Trump — that the culture of the business world would become synonymous with American life, in all of its absurdities and opportunities. It’s difficult to imagine having coffee in the morning with anyone else.” Countless people got a morning dopamine hit by pairing their morning mug with the funny papers. People saw themselves in Dilbert and coped with their own Pointy-Haired Boss. They still do. New ways of looking at things Scott Adams valued the art of sharing ideas and started connecting with audiences through Periscope. This evolved into Real Coffee with Scott Adams, a daily livestream and podcast going out consistently every day of the year. The topics addressed are numerous and limitless. Along with interesting takes on current events, Adams shows those in the audience that there may be new ways of looking at things. It’s not just about his take, but also how you may ponder things in new ways. Scott challenges us to think differently Rapper, author, and podcaster Zuby told me: “Scott Adams challenges people to question their own beliefs and to see life from different angles. That’s a great thing because we can never have too many critical thinkers in an increasingly complicated and polarized world.” I concur. Scott Adams is a man who looks at the human mind as an incredible tool that is frequently not used to full potential. He understands how human beings can flourish, but also inherent weaknesses and traps. He presents information and ideas unlike other speakers. A classroom in independent thinking As a broadcaster, there’s almost nobody I can compare him to. Well, except for one radio legend. I’ll let Muumuu House author and walking proponent Robert McCready give his take: “Scott Adams fills the gap left by Rush Limbaugh because he tells the audience how the media is manipulating viewers/readers. Adams talks off-mic to his audience of live streamers who send him chats, the way Limbaugh talked off-mic to Snerdly. The show feels like Limbaugh’s. Both shows began in northern California. They predict what a politician will do based on cues, subtle signals, scoops that regular people don’t get. It feels like a miracle that we’ve had either of them in the world.” I happen to feel the same way as Robert. The shows feel related, and both are a classroom in independent thought and legacy media abandonment. ‘This is a man who is willing to share what he thinks and take the heat‘ Most people don’t think of cartoonists as having a big impact on politics and the culture at large. When I think of Scott Adams’ influence, it seems unbelievable. Mark Twain’s “truth is stranger than fiction” quote comes to mind. I was able to ask ghostwriter and Scott Adams collaborator Joshua Lisec about Adams. Listen to what he had to say: “In addition to his one-of-a-kind cultural contributions in the form of entertainment, satire, humor for 40 years, he also is the most influential personal development author of all time, and it’s not even close.
