بعد غزو الهمج والرعاع والقرباط لشواطئنا… تحوّل الساحل السوري من مهد التراث إلى ساحة رقص غريب لا يمت لتاريخنا بصلة.. دبكات ورقصات دخيلة، فهل هي من تقاليدنا العريقة أم من فلكلور الإيغور والأوزبك والأتراك والأفغان؟ ويبقى السؤال لأصحاب “الشريعة”: هل الرقص عندكم حلال مبارك، أم رجس من عمل الشيطان؟...

My speech at the #MEGA event in the European Parliament, Brussels: Change will not come if we wait for someone else, or if we delay for another time. The words of Barack Obama, spoken during his historic campaign in 2008, still resonate—but today, they carry a very different meaning. It is a rallying cry for patriots, conservatives, and all who believe in freedom, sovereignty, and the dignity of our nations to stand together. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. In 2008, Obama’s words signaled the dawn of a new era: one marked by social justice campaigns and the rise of "wokeism." For years, these ideas were cloaked in promises of progress and inclusivity. But what have they truly delivered? Today, we see the devastating consequences—fractured societies, eroded national identities, and an alarming loss of freedoms. But, the tide is turning. The reelection of President Trump has sent a clear and powerful message from the people of the United States. The message is simple: We want our country back. We want to be proud of our flag, our culture, and our heritage. We demand affordable, reliable energy to power our homes and businesses. We seek real food from our farmers, not synthetic substitutes dictated by unelected technocrats. We want secured borders, prosperity, peace, and the ability to pursue happiness without interference. The overwhelming #MAGA victory—President Trump reclaiming the presidency, the Senate, the House, and the popular vote—reflects a mandate that is impossible to ignore. For too long, the radical left has sought to dismantle the pillars of our civilization. Obama’s policies, often presented as ‘progress’, initiated a chain of events with devastating effects. I’ll give you four examples: 1. The Arab Spring, spurred by social media campaigns, unleashed waves of instability that flooded Europe with millions of migrants. Our historic continent—once a beacon of cultural and intellectual achievements—is now grappling with security threats and the erosion of its identity and culture. 2. The war in Ukraine, provoked by Obama’s NeoCon allies, has brought untold suffering. It began with the removal of Ukraine’s democratically elected leader in 2014, setting the stage for conflict. These NeoCons, in collusion with the Military-Industrial Complex, are as culpable as any aggressor. 3. Critical Race Theory, a twisted ideology. It is nothing short of racism repackaged, weaponized to pit communities against each other. 4. Censorship and suppression of free speech. Through NGOs and the so-called "Censorship Industrial Complex," they controlled narratives and silenced dissenting voices. Their strategy has always been sophisticated—using fear, globalist policies, the illusion of moral superiority, and ‘democracy’ of institutions instead of democracy of the people. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (#SDG's), the #GreenDeal, and the #WHO’s pandemic overreach are all symptoms of a broader agenda: a transfer of power from the people to unaccountable elites. Even #NATO, once a coalition of nations united against foreign aggression, has now also become a tool wielded to suppress populist movements among its own people. But we are not powerless. WE THE PEOPLE represent true democracy. If we unite, we can reverse this destructive course. The momentum of the MAGA movement can inspire change across Europe and beyond. Now is the time to build a unified front that transcends party lines and minor disagreements. So, how do we Make Europe Great Again by: 1. Restoring Free Speech: Reverse the Digital Services Act and protect public discourse. 2. Ensuring Freedom: No Central Bank Digital Currencies. No digital IDs. We are born free and do not need technocratic controls. 3. Dismantling the Green Deal: End this social engineering project that sacrifices our economies and energy and food security for an illusion of environmental progress. 4. Defending Our Borders: Protect our nations from uncontrolled migration that threatens both safety and cultural heritage. National civil rights must take precedence over globalist human rights. 5. Exposing Corruption: Demand full transparency in dealings with corporations and NGOs. 6. Deregulating Economies: Empower small and medium-sized businesses—the backbone of our prosperity. Deregulation fuels innovation and competitiveness. 7. Restoring National Sovereignty: Renegotiate or cancel harmful international agreements and treaties. Change will not come if we wait for someone else or another time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. Obama’s words, once a banner for radical policies, now serve as a call to reverse the damage inflicted on our nations and it’s people. Let us unite, work together, and make this a reality. Let us Make Europe Great Again. #MEGA

🇬🇷The roots of the Ancient Greek dances of Pyrrhichios and Pentozali that Greeks still dancing today❗️I promise you that this post is going to be unique and amazing. When Rhea descended to Crete to give birth to Zeus, she was accompanied by the Idaean Dactyls. These Dactyls resided on Mount Ida, known today as Psiloritis, as well as in the "Idaean Cave," where Zeus was raised. In this story, we seem to have the world's first reference to music and dance. From them, we have named the "dactylic rhythm" in music to keep time, as well as our fingers (in greek finger is called dactylo), which are five in number—just like these guardians who accompanied Zeus and Rhea. Since they were five, they also appear to correspond with the five original Cretans, called the Kouretes, who were the protectors of Zeus. Mythology, history, or tradition—call it what you will—tells us that when Zeus was an infant, the Kouretes danced a warlike dance in full armor to cover his cries so that Cronus, who was hunting him, would not hear him. According to Apollodorus of Athens (180 BC), the names of the Kouretes were Heracles (not the famous hero), Iasion, Ida, Epimedes, and Paeonaios. Thus, the Pyrrhic dance was born in ancient times in Crete. Later, the goddess Athena danced the Pyrrhic at the moment she emerged from Zeus’s head (she was not born according to greek mythology) in full war armor. Plato even informs us about the origin of the goddess's name: "Pallas Athena" because, during the execution of the dance, "she vibrates" (in greek=πάλλεται). Athena also danced it after the victory over the Titans. Strabo tells us that Achilles’ son, Pyrrhus, danced the Pyrrhic when he rejoiced over killing Eurypylus. In Troy, we know that the Greeks danced the Pyrrhic before battle and also at the death of Patroclus to honor him. The Athenians always danced it at the Panathenaic festival, and the Spartans always performed it during warfare. From Crete to Thrace, the Pyrrhic was an essential part of military training! It was danced with a spear and a shield. Over the centuries, the Pyrrhic laid the foundation for dances that are based on it, such as the Pentozali, Maleviziotis, and Pidichtos—Cretan dances. The Pontic Greeks' version of the Pyrrhic has retained the warlike stance and is considered the closest to the ancient Pyrrhic, although naturally, it was not exactly the same in antiquity. Today, both Cretans and Pontians uphold Greek traditions and serve as our hope to preserve these customs, values, and heritage. Nothing but pride for those who continue and defend our roots. Plato makes reference to the Pyrrhic in his work Laws (Plato, Laws, Book 7, 815-816), and there is also a mention of the Pentozali dance in Homer (without the name "Pentozali" because its a later name). Let's read what Plato writes: "Of these two types of dance, the warlike one, which differs from the peaceful, is rightly called the Pyrrhic. It imitates the cautious avoidance of all attacks through sidesteps and retreats, as well as movements that mimic counterattacks with energetic forms, such as dodging arrows and javelins or striking with spears. The dancers, ready for battle, were armed. At the start, they performed a sort of parade with lateral turns, retreats, leaps, and crouching movements. This was followed by aggressive movements and defensive postures imitating a warrior throwing a javelin, shooting an arrow, or thrusting a spear into an enemy's body. Throughout these movements, the dancers kept a rhythmic pace, accompanied by the clashing of weapons and battle cries." —Plato, Laws, Book 7, 815-816 "And he depicted a dance, just like the one Daedalus had crafted For the radiant Ariadne in the lands of Knossos. There, young men and richly dowered maidens danced, Hand in hand, in graceful motion. The maidens wore delicate linen robes, While the young men shone in fine tunics, Anointed with glistening oil. The maidens had dazzling crowns, And the men bore golden knives Hanging from silver-studded belts. Sometimes they moved in a rolling motion, Like a potter testing his spinning wheel. At other times, they ran in lines, Facing each other in unison. Around them, a great crowd rejoiced, While a divine bard played his lyre. As he sang, two acrobats in the center Leapt and spun in rhythm." —Homer, Iliad, Book 18, line 590 This description appears on Achilles' Shield. It depicts the DANCE HALL that Daedalus, the Athenian craftsman, built in the palace of Minos in Knossos, Crete, intended for Minos’ daughter, Ariadne. Such a grand creation it was! The text refers to it as Choros (dance), describing how the Cretan nobles of that time entertained themselves. Let me tell you also something that originated from us Greeks—the concept of ecstasy (ἔκστασις). The greatest moment, the peak of a celebration, when we play music and dance, we look upward to the sky—where all gods of every religion reside. This has been happening since ancient times. In ecstasy (ek + stasis—"out of stasis"), we step out of our normal state. Even today, when Cretans reach the right moment in a festivity, they fire gunshots into the air while letting out war cries, thus keeping this ancient custom alive—without even realizing it. I can give many more information about the roots of the dancing. Let me know if you liked it. Thank you for reading me. Homer Pavlos✍️

Tucker Carlson Talking About Occult [Hidden] Forces, The Hyper-Dimensional Matrix, And That Humans Are Not In Control Of Themselves Tucker Carlson is getting very close to the "topic of all topics" as various esoteric spiritual traditions have talked about for thousands of years in their own way. In a recent interview (see video), he replied to a question by Luke Rudkowski: "There is good and evil. We're being acted upon at all the time. There are moments when you are moved to do things that are much better than you actually are and that are also more evil and destructive than you actually are. You are subject to forces outside yourself...There are forces that are not human that exist in a spiritual realm of some kind that we cannot see, and that sort of makes you think we live on an ant farm. Anything that is true and beautiful or anything that is dark and destructive is almost certainly a product of forces acting upon you." - Tucker Carlson Yes, indeed. We are transducers of higher forces and influenced by conscious forces from the higher and lower realms that exist in their own world and are not human, nor part of our "mind," nor a hallucination. We are subjected to the suggestions of occult hostile forces of the lower vital world, but we also receive insights and creative and inspirational impulses from Spirit and Divine forces, which also manifest as thoughts. Creative, sensitive people, writers, artists, and musicians get their ideas from these lower/higher realms. We all receive a mixture of these impressions/thoughts from the whole range of lower to the higher realm depending on many factors. We are transducers of higher realms and we are the battleground of various forces acting through us, hence as I've always said, the real war is THROUGH us and the battle field is within. Based on our level of Being [soul embodiment, how much you are connected to Essence, your true Self as opposed to being identified with your ego peronality], our intentions and aspirations in life can either be guided by the lower nature, or we can choose to align them with our higher nature and the Divine. The direction we bring out awareness determines which realm we tune into. As long as we live on the surface of ego-personality [which is also the result of unconscious trauma, shadow projections, childhood wounds, etc], the majority of this will be unconscious and mechanical. I have written and talked a lot about the Hyperdimensional Matrix Control System over the years, i.e., the non-physical occult hostile forces and their mechanisms that aim to keep us spiritually asleep. To recap this phenomenon, humanity is not on the top of the “food chain,” and humanity is not in control of its sovereign decisions on a ‘macro’ scale. The idea of “free will” is, in many aspects, an illusion. Most of what you see on the world stage is manipulated and designed to create this “food” frequency of scarcity-fueled fear and unconscious reactivity…to keep humanity in a frequency prison governed by forces that operate outside of our five-sensory perception. These forces work through us/others (including through the elite/controllers on a 3-D level, whom they use as portals/puppets to carry out their agenda) and distract us by projecting the shadows of separation consciousness on the wall/world stage (divide & conquer) and official cult-ure. It's the perfect foundation to keep people stuck in an endless loop of conflict with each other over thousands of years, ensuring that we remain disempowered so as to produce all the “loosh” they require to keep well-fed. However, this is a “concept” that is really hard for most people to grasp and accept and is most often ridiculed and laughed off as “sci-fi”, “conspiracy nonsense,” or “mental/psychological delusion” because it’s so far out their conditioned beliefs and view of life (a perspective that is inserted into our minds by the same “force”). And yet, despite the cynical skepticism, all of the ancient mystery schools, true shamanic insights, and esoteric teachings (much of which have been suppressed and/or distorted over thousands of years for obvious reasons) have conveyed this truth for ‘the ones with eyes to see and ears to hear,’ using their own language and symbolism: - “The General Law” (Esoteric Christianity) - Archons (Gnostics), - “Lords of Destiny” (Hermeticism), - Predator/Fliers, “The topic of all topics” (Shamanism, Castaneda), - “The Evil Magician” (Gurdjieff), - The Shaitans (Sufism), - The Jinn (Arabian mythology), - Wetiko (Native American Spirituality), - Occult Hostile Forces (Sri Aurobindo & The Mother, The Integral Yoga), - the Ahrimanic and Soratic Spirits of Darkness (Rudolf Steiner), etc. And Tucker is also correct about the alien phenomenon. We are not necessarily dealing with "ETs from other planets" but beings that have been around here for a very long time already, hiding right outside our five-sensory perception, who can appear in all kinds of ways. Sri Aurobindo hinted at this topic over 100 years ago: “Look at what happened in 1914 – or for that matter at all that is and has been happening in human history – the eye of the Yogin [spiritual seeker] sees not only the outward events and persons and causes but the enormous forces which precipitate them into action. If the men who fought were instruments in the hands of rulers and financiers, these, in turn, were mere puppets in the clutch of those occult [hidden] forces. Men are being constantly invaded by the hostiles, and there are great numbers of men who are partly or entirely under their influence. At the present moment, they are very active all over the earth. The struggle between the psychic (soul) and the hostile forces goes on mostly behind the veil or, so far as it is on the surface, is not understood by the mind. The apparent freedom and self-assertion of our personal being to which we are so profoundly attached conceal a most pitiable subjection to a thousand suggestions, impulsions, and forces. Our ego, boasting of freedom, is at every moment the slave, toy, and puppet of countless beings, powers, forces, and influences in universal Nature. All life is the play of universal forces. The individual gives a personal form to these universal forces. But he can choose whether he shall respond or not to the action of a particular force. Only most people do not really choose – they indulge in the play of the forces. When one is habituated to see the things behind, one is no longer prone to be touched by the outward aspects – or to expect any remedy from political, institutional, or social changes; the only way out is through the descent of a [Divine] consciousness which is not the puppet of these forces but is greater than they are.” More here: - The Matrix of Control – Beyond its 3D Manifestation - Beginner's Guide To Occult Forces (Podcast): - The Hidden Spiritual War Through Us - The Perilous Path Towards Awakening 26 articles and videos on the topic of the "Hyperdimensional Matrix & Occult Forces" here:

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

One of Belgium’s bravest politicians, Filip Dewinter: "If you have majorities of Islamic believers in a city, or in a country, it's over and out for the democracy - because Islam is anti-democratic - Islam is a theocracy, committed to Allah, committed to their own religion, but not committed to democracy. So the real danger of our democracy is Islam, not right-wing, conservative, patriotic parties. We are defending democracy against the threat of Islam, not the other way around." See the full interview here: Remember: "Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components. Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called "religious rights." When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to "the reasonable" Muslim demands for their "religious rights," they also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works... As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness. At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal food (clean by Islamic standards - it is actually nothing more than a Sharia money-making scheme to support jihad ), thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris -- car-burnings, riots). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Mohammed cartoons, Quran burnings). After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting and violence, jihad militia formations, killings, and church, synagogue, and temple burnings will occur often, etc. At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide. 100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Islamic supremacists then start killing each other for a variety of reasons. "Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, "The Haj" It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate. (Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.) So, what percentage do you think your country is at? Unfortunately, each of your countries welcomes illegal migrants, so none of us truly know the sheer numbers of Jihadis in our communities.

🚨CONQUERED - ANOTHER U.S. CITY HAS FALLEN TO ISLAM! They are renaming our streets - and our country! In Bridgeview, Illinois, a city I have long warned is being completely taken over by jihadis, the community gathered at 87th Street and Harlem Avenue for the official unveiling of 'Little Palestine Way' along Harlem Avenue and 'Wadea Al-Fayoume Way.' This wasn’t some organic grassroots moment. It was the culmination of years of organized Islamic and Marxist efforts: legislation pushed through the Illinois House and Senate, HJR0046, designating a major stretch of road in one of America’s largest Palestinian enclaves as an official “Little Palestine Way. For years I have documented how communists and their ideological allies rewrite history by changing street names, tearing down monuments, and erasing the identity of the nations they target. They did it in every country they infiltrated. Now the same tactic is being used here - but with an Islamic twist. This is not random. This is coordinated. The Muslim Brotherhood’s “The Project” - the 1982 strategic document exposed years ago - laid out the plan clearly: gradual Islamization of the West through infiltration of institutions, creation of enclaves, dawah, and parallel societies. The Palestinian cause was always central to that strategy, a unifying banner to radicalize Muslims, recruit Western leftists, and pressure governments. Today we are watching the convergence in real time. Marxist groups and Islamic networks are running parallel operations with the same goal: to undermine the Constitution, erode our culture, and capture our children and institutions. They target schools, local governments, churches, and law enforcement. They change the names on our streets. They turn neighborhoods into ideological strongholds. Bridgeview is just one more data point in a national pattern. 🚨And right in the middle of it sits American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). AMP leader and terror-tied radical Nida Sahouri took to the stage to show her Palestinian/Jihadi pride and essentially boast about the Islamic takeover. Notice she says she JUST came from "Palestine"..... AMP has deep ties to the old Hamas-support network in America. AMP emerged after the Holy Land Foundation and Islamic Association of Palestine were shut down or exposed. Many of its leaders, board members, and speakers came directly from those groups, the same networks convicted or designated for providing material support to Hamas. AMP pushes the same propaganda, the same “resistance” rhetoric, the same conferences, and the same fundraising ecosystem. They spend most of their days whining about Jews and fighting to make America, Gaza.... They are not some mainstream civil rights group. It is part of the infrastructure built to advance the Brotherhood’s agenda on American soil. This is how they do it: • They build enclaves. • They get politicians to rename streets and pass symbolic resolutions. • They use the Palestinian cause to glue together Marxists, Muslims, and useful idiots. • They scream “Islamophobia” or “racism” the moment anyone notices. • And when the signs don’t go up on their timeline, they accuse everyone else of interference while the real subversion continues. We are not watching isolated cultural events. We are watching a civilizational replacement operation in slow motion, one street sign, one school board, one city council at a time. Bridgeview is a warning. So is every other place where these networks have embedded themselves. The same forces that spent decades changing names and rewriting history in communist countries are now doing it here, allied with an ideology that is fundamentally incompatible with Western civilization. I have been saying this for fifteen years. The evidence keeps piling up, and our Republican government is doing NOTHING to stop this takeover. It is time to stop pretending this is normal. It is time to call it what it is. They are not just changing street names. They are changing the country. They are making America Islamic.... And they will not stop until we stop them.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s “The Project” - the 1982 strategic document exposed years ago - laid out the plan clearly: gradual Islamization of the West through infiltration of institutions, creation of enclaves, dawah, and parallel societies. The Palestinian cause was always central to that strategy, a unifying banner to radicalize Muslims, recruit Western leftists, and pressure governments. Today we are watching the convergence in real time. Marxist groups and Islamic networks are running parallel operations with the same goal: to undermine the Constitution, erode our culture, and capture our children and institutions. They target schools, local governments, churches, and law enforcement. They change the names on our streets. They turn neighborhoods into ideological strongholds. Bridgeview is just one more data point in a national pattern. 🚨And right in the middle of it sits American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). AMP leader and terror-tied radical Nida Sahouri took to the stage to show her Palestinian/Jihadi pride and essentially boast about the Islamic takeover. Notice she says she JUST came from "Palestine"..... AMP has deep ties to the old Hamas-support network in America. AMP emerged after the Holy Land Foundation and Islamic Association of Palestine were shut down or exposed. Many of its leaders, board members, and speakers came directly from those groups, the same networks convicted or designated for providing material support to Hamas. AMP pushes the same propaganda, the same “resistance” rhetoric, the same conferences, and the same fundraising ecosystem. They spend most of their days whining about Jews and fighting to make America, Gaza.... They are not some mainstream civil rights group. It is part of the infrastructure built to advance the Brotherhood’s agenda on American soil. This is how they do it: • They build enclaves. • They get politicians to rename streets and pass symbolic resolutions. • They use the Palestinian cause to glue together Marxists, Muslims, and useful idiots. • They scream “Islamophobia” or “racism” the moment anyone notices. • And when the signs don’t go up on their timeline, they accuse everyone else of interference while the real subversion continues. We are not watching isolated cultural events. We are watching a civilizational replacement operation in slow motion, one street sign, one school board, one city council at a time. Bridgeview is a warning. So is every other place where these networks have embedded themselves. The same forces that spent decades changing names and rewriting history in communist countries are now doing it here, allied with an ideology that is fundamentally incompatible with Western civilization. I have been saying this for fifteen years. The evidence keeps piling up, and our Republican government is doing NOTHING to stop this takeover. It is time to stop pretending this is normal. It is time to call it what it is. They are not just changing street names. They are changing the country. They are making America Islamic.... And they will not stop until we stop them.

وزارة الصحة الفلسطينية تعتمد منذ بداية الحرب، وبناءً على تجارب سابقة، آلية توثيق دقيقة جدًا تتوافق مع معايير المنظمات الدولية، خاصة منظمة الصحة العالمية... يتم التوثيق عبر برنامج "صحتي" التابع للأمم المتحدة ويُشرف عليه كوادر الوزارة... لا يُسجل أي شهيد إلا بعد وصوله إلى المستشفى لضمان الدقة في مجتمع قبلي وعائلي ترتبط فيه الأسماء بحقوق قانونية مثل الميراث... من لا يصل إلى المستشفى يُوثق لاحقًا عبر القضاء الفلسطيني من خلال شهادات العائلات وشهود وقرارات قضائية... حتى الآن، تم توثيق 56,000 شهيد بالأسماء الرباعية وأرقام الهوية، وأكثر من 17,000 منهم من الأطفال... لو وُجد خلل في اسم واحد لتحوّل الأمر إلى أزمة، ولذلك نتمسك بأقصى درجات الدقة... لم يستطع أحد حتى الآن التشكيك في هذه الأرقام أو مصداقيتها... رغم أن تقديرات دولية، مثل تقرير مجلة "لانست"، تشير إلى أن العدد الفعلي قد يكون أعلى بنسبة 46%، إلا أننا نتمسك بأرقامنا المثبتة والمبنية على كل حالة على حدة. Since the beginning of the war, and based on prior experiences, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has adopted a highly precise documentation process that aligns with international standards, especially those of the World Health Organization... This documentation is carried out through the “Sehhaty” program run by the United Nations and supervised by Ministry of Health staff... No martyr is recorded unless they arrive at a hospital, to ensure accuracy in a tribal and family-based society where names are tied to legal rights such as inheritance... Those who do not reach hospitals are documented later through the Palestinian judicial system based on family testimonies, witnesses, and official court rulings... So far, 56,000 martyrs have been documented with full names and ID numbers, including more than 17,000 children... If a single name were incorrect, it could turn into a major crisis—this is why we maintain the highest level of accuracy... No one has been able to question the credibility or accuracy of these figures to date... Although international estimates, such as The Lancet report, suggest that the actual number may be 46% higher, we remain committed to our case-by-case, verified figures.

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

🔥A Pagan Has The Floor🔥 Full Translated Official Hitler Youth Magazine 'Will & Power' Article on Pagan Rebirth.

"From the “Reichswart” we reproduce the following letter, which seems to us typical of a part of the young activist generation: Outwardly, Germany celebrated its rebirth in the Garrison Church at Potsdam beside the sarcophagus of its great Prussian king. He is and lives on, immortal: the spirit of Prussia and of paganism. It is the eternal German, in whom will-to-action, creative power, and inner experience seek one another in Faustian fashion and unite in harmony and form. Impetuously he reaches up toward the stars; the divine awakens, shapes itself for its own sake, stands exalted above every form, indeed shattering them, as a mighty confession to the divine in itself: Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, Kant… the Gothic! And just as the eternal German carried the vastness of his forests, the roar of his northern sea, the clarity of his starry heavens into his deepest experience—into religion, into music, into his poetry and striving, into philosophy, into the art of building, into all his lofty creations—so once again he is driven out into the immediate creations of Nature, to rediscover there the fructification of the soul, inner peace in harmony and dialogue, above all in struggle with her. Thus our youth storms forth again and again in the same rhythm. Look into its fresh soul, come to know its poets… true, sturdy pagans they were and still are today: “Going to church means crawling into the devil’s arse. May God preserve me!” “Either I serve God through my life—and then my whole life is divine service and I need no church; or I do not serve God and do not seek him—and then going to church would be utterly superfluous.” “Are you still a pagan? Remain one and do not let yourself be baptised!” (From Gorch Fock’s diary pages “Stars above the Sea”.) “We always had religion, but a this-worldly religion; we saved the next world for later. With both feet we stood on the dear earth, lived our life in joy and custom, did not intoxicate ourselves with lust and cruelty, and therefore, unlike the Asiatics, needed no opiates such as remorse and penance. We stood toward our gods as toward our princes; we paid them their dues punctually, came to attention, let them pass by—and that was that! They were not allowed to interfere in our personal lives. More than once I have looked death in the eye, yet never once did it occur to me that I should first put on a clean shirt in case I suddenly found myself standing before someone who would inspect my laundry before opening the door for me. We say we are Christians, but we are not; nor can we be. Christianity and tribal consciousness are simply incompatible. “But the ascetic on the cross is a god for old men and the sick. And we others? When will a temple finally be erected for the modern, strong, scientifically thinking man, for the roaring of psalms and the tone of eternity in his heart?” (Johan Bojer.) But “prayer” must not be misused in the Christian sense and confused with church attendance. For the Christian, “prayer” may be synonymous with “begging.” The pagan, however, does not beg for help from on high and then fold his hands in his lap and wait. “Help yourself, and God will help you” is certainly not an oriental-fatalistic Bible verse; it sprang from genuine German experience. If the Christian clergy, especially the non-Catholic, has lost contact with youth, the fault does not lie with the “godless” people or even with the “godless movement,” as they would so dearly love to claim. With such (to put it mildly) excuses a clergyman steals his way into his dear Lord’s kingdom of heaven! The fault lies in the inner cramping of the church officials themselves, in their stubborn clinging to the man-made book called the Bible. They transfigure and worship God, interpret and misinterpret, quarrel and excommunicate, instead of being trailblazers for a higher experience in all its manifestations. And because Protestantism cannot find its fulfilment in this, its gradual dying away in favour of Catholicism, and the awakening paganism is both explicable and to be welcomed. Rotten wood belongs in the fire, and the clarification of fronts is what the present age demands. For a long time the dividing lines have no longer been seriously Protestantism versus Catholicism; they are increasingly and clearly becoming dogma-free religious paganism on the one hand and Catholic Christianity on the other. In the Protestant camp there are many who show more conviction for the insights of non-Christian philosophers than for the promises of the Bible. On the other side, convinced Christians will draw all the closer to Catholicism, especially as the latter, for reasons of power-politics and historical development, loosens its orthodox rigidity; here the vastly superior worldly shrewdness of the Church of Rome and its this-worldly security measures offer the best preconditions for a comprehensive breakthrough. Many facts already indicate today that Protestantism, still deliberating at the “green table,” is quietly being outflanked. We stand in an age of a Renaissance of world-historical significance. I deliberately quoted no “big-name authorities” for the awakening of paganism. Just as it arose from the nature-bound German soul and continually draws new strength from it, so too the uncomplicated poets of nature and homeland will remain its most successful proclaimers, whether consciously or unconsciously. The inner success that is not forced by propaganda or, as one must expect, by fiscal-technical coercion is the infallible measure of the vibrations of the folk-soul. Called leaders are watching over the new becoming. Our youth has grown more religious; it is searching; and like it, so are many others, more than ever before. May Heaven preserve us, however, from the jealous quarrels of sects. Our youth is pagan-religious because it is German. In this it is more inward-turned than many a nominal Christian and churchgoer. But if you reject it as godless and shallow, then you slander and profane the homeland-seeking of your own German, Nordic-feeling soul. The recent reports that re-entries into the churches are piling up do not change the basic situation in the least. Convinced pagans will keep themselves free from the opportunists who today think a church exit is the right thing and tomorrow think re-entry is. Those who are ideologically unsteady and spineless, who wander from one idea to the next and are constantly being “newly inspired,” are better off under the discipline of a church than in the open air of paganism. This experience will have taught General Ludendorff to transform his originally more ambitious “Deutschvolk” into a mere ideological recruiting depot and to give it the philosophical works of his wife as its foundation. His worst enemy, the Church of Rome, set him an example with its own educational methods; one can only wish and hope that these methods do not, as unfortunately seems to be the case, grow completely beyond his control. History furnishes proof that Christianity, and especially in this regard and especially in this regard the Roman Church in particular, with its worldly shrewdness, is accustomed to carrying out its mission in such a way that paganism (Heidentum), precisely because of the attitude that rightly rejects, for the most part, the systematic soul-snaring that is called mission, simply cannot measure up to it. But as long as the old customs and traditions have not disappeared, as long as at the high festivals of paganism; the mountain fires blaze across the land, as long as we all accompany the solstices with the quiet opening of the time of need (Notwende), so long will the glow of paganism be stirred and nourished. In doing so, the Church will again and again attempt in vain to give a Christian stamp to this new becoming. But it is under the sign of the swastika, the ancient-Nordic symbol of life, not under that of Golgotha, that Germany celebrates its rebirth. Thus the First of May, too, has received its pagan consecration—not as a day of praying and pleading, but of awakening, of the surging of strength, of work. And with this, its public reintroduction into the circle of festivals was also an outward victory of paganism." _________________________ Source: Wille und Macht 1.1933, Teil 2, Pgs 32-34

When will a temple finally be erected for the modern, strong, scientifically thinking man, for the roaring of psalms and the tone of eternity in his heart?” (Johan Bojer.) But “prayer” must not be misused in the Christian sense and confused with church attendance. For the Christian, “prayer” may be synonymous with “begging.” The pagan, however, does not beg for help from on high and then fold his hands in his lap and wait. “Help yourself, and God will help you” is certainly not an oriental-fatalistic Bible verse; it sprang from genuine German experience. If the Christian clergy, especially the non-Catholic, has lost contact with youth, the fault does not lie with the “godless” people or even with the “godless movement,” as they would so dearly love to claim. With such (to put it mildly) excuses a clergyman steals his way into his dear Lord’s kingdom of heaven! The fault lies in the inner cramping of the church officials themselves, in their stubborn clinging to the man-made book called the Bible. They transfigure and worship God, interpret and misinterpret, quarrel and excommunicate, instead of being trailblazers for a higher experience in all its manifestations. And because Protestantism cannot find its fulfilment in this, its gradual dying away in favour of Catholicism, and the awakening paganism is both explicable and to be welcomed. Rotten wood belongs in the fire, and the clarification of fronts is what the present age demands. For a long time the dividing lines have no longer been seriously Protestantism versus Catholicism; they are increasingly and clearly becoming dogma-free religious paganism on the one hand and Catholic Christianity on the other. In the Protestant camp there are many who show more conviction for the insights of non-Christian philosophers than for the promises of the Bible. On the other side, convinced Christians will draw all the closer to Catholicism, especially as the latter, for reasons of power-politics and historical development, loosens its orthodox rigidity; here the vastly superior worldly shrewdness of the Church of Rome and its this-worldly security measures offer the best preconditions for a comprehensive breakthrough. Many facts already indicate today that Protestantism, still deliberating at the “green table,” is quietly being outflanked. We stand in an age of a Renaissance of world-historical significance. I deliberately quoted no “big-name authorities” for the awakening of paganism. Just as it arose from the nature-bound German soul and continually draws new strength from it, so too the uncomplicated poets of nature and homeland will remain its most successful proclaimers, whether consciously or unconsciously. The inner success that is not forced by propaganda or, as one must expect, by fiscal-technical coercion is the infallible measure of the vibrations of the folk-soul. Called leaders are watching over the new becoming. Our youth has grown more religious; it is searching; and like it, so are many others, more than ever before. May Heaven preserve us, however, from the jealous quarrels of sects. Our youth is pagan-religious because it is German. In this it is more inward-turned than many a nominal Christian and churchgoer. But if you reject it as godless and shallow, then you slander and profane the homeland-seeking of your own German, Nordic-feeling soul. The recent reports that re-entries into the churches are piling up do not change the basic situation in the least. Convinced pagans will keep themselves free from the opportunists who today think a church exit is the right thing and tomorrow think re-entry is. Those who are ideologically unsteady and spineless, who wander from one idea to the next and are constantly being “newly inspired,” are better off under the discipline of a church than in the open air of paganism. This experience will have taught General Ludendorff to transform his originally more ambitious “Deutschvolk” into a mere ideological recruiting depot and to give it the philosophical works of his wife as its foundation. His worst enemy, the Church of Rome, set him an example with its own educational methods; one can only wish and hope that these methods do not, as unfortunately seems to be the case, grow completely beyond his control. History furnishes proof that Christianity, and especially in this regard and especially in this regard the Roman Church in particular, with its worldly shrewdness, is accustomed to carrying out its mission in such a way that paganism (Heidentum), precisely because of the attitude that rightly rejects, for the most part, the systematic soul-snaring that is called mission, simply cannot measure up to it. But as long as the old customs and traditions have not disappeared, as long as at the high festivals of paganism; the mountain fires blaze across the land, as long as we all accompany the solstices with the quiet opening of the time of need (Notwende), so long will the glow of paganism be stirred and nourished. In doing so, the Church will again and again attempt in vain to give a Christian stamp to this new becoming. But it is under the sign of the swastika, the ancient-Nordic symbol of life, not under that of Golgotha, that Germany celebrates its rebirth. Thus the First of May, too, has received its pagan consecration—not as a day of praying and pleading, but of awakening, of the surging of strength, of work. And with this, its public reintroduction into the circle of festivals was also an outward victory of paganism." _________________________ Source: Wille und Macht 1.1933, Teil 2, Pgs 32-34

War Diary Day 1,391 Blaise Metreweli, the Chief of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, sticks it to the Killer in The Kremlin. And all his creepy helpers. I agree with every fucking word. VPDFO! (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered) 📷 Welcome inside MI6. This iconic building, familiar to movie fans everywhere, is the home of Britain’s foreign intelligence agency. But whilst hundreds of my team pass through the entry pods each day, the truth is that most of our work happens many miles away from this place - out of sight, hidden from the world, undercover, recruiting and running agents who choose to place their trust in us, sharing secrets to make the UK and the world safer. You might pass one of our officers on the street or sit next to them on a plane when you’re about to set off on an adventure of your own, or in a foreign city taking selfies by the sights. Whether it’s in seemingly everyday places, or on the front line embedded with our military, MI6 is there. In my first few weeks, I’ve heard repeatedly that MI6 is trusted and respected globally, two things that we never take for granted. We are seen as a source of hard power, soft influence and rapid innovation. I’ve also heard that people want to believe in MI6. It’s my job to make sure they can. Today, I want to talk about human agency. We all have choices to make about how we deal with the undercurrents shaping our world. About how, in our new, faster, more dangerous and technology-mediated world, it will be our rediscovery of our shared humanity, our ability to listen, and our courage that will determine how our future unfolds. Conflict is not inevitable. Understanding human nature is in my bones. From a family shaped by devastating conflict, I grew up with a deep sense of gratitude for the UK’s precious democracy and freedom. I spent much of my childhood overseas, which is where my passion for travel and adventure began. I studied anthropology, and later psychology and AI, exploring how we make sense of the world and each other. It’s why I was drawn to MI6: it offers strong purpose, a chance to serve and a belief in the positive power of human connection. Like the Service, I’m operational to my very core. Over nearly three decades, my career has involved recruiting and running agents in hostile territory; and leading operations in warzones to defuse threats and support peace. Always in teams, always learning from others. Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of brilliant partners – and indeed occasionally those we’d label as adversaries – across dozens of countries, tackling weapons proliferation and terrorism. During my time at MI5, I saw close up what it takes to defend Britain from being targeted by hostile states. You’ll find many like me in my organisation: powerfully motivated to protect our precious country; curious about how our world is changing, joining dots and taking action, across domains. But it was in my last role as ‘Q’, where it was my job to turn emerging technologies from threats to opportunities that I could most see the world changing. As I dug deep into data and extraordinary innovation, I could see how technology was rapidly reshaping not just our capabilities but also conflict and trust, truth and global power. Let me lay out how I see the global issues MI6 must tackle. Because the greatest danger we face is to misunderstand the nature of the problem. Let’s be in no doubt. Our world is more dangerous and contested now than it has been for decades. Conflict is evolving and trust eroding, just as new technologies spur both competition and dependence. We are being contested from sea to space, from the battlefield to the boardroom. And even our brains, as disinformation manipulates our understanding of each other and ourselves. Across the globe, we are now confronting not one single danger, but an interlocking web of security challenges – military, technological, social, ethical even – each shaping the other in complex ways. We are now operating in a space between peace and war. This is not a temporary state or a gradual, inevitable evolution. Our world is being actively remade, with profound implications for national and international security. Institutions which were designed in the ashes of the Second World War are being challenged. New blocs and identities forming and alliances reshaping. Multipolar competition in tension with multilateral cooperation. But there’s something distinctive that will make this change unlike any other: the impact of advanced technologies, which will accelerate the pace and scale of every threat and opportunity, and increasingly, individualise them too. Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing are not only revolutionising economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they ‘converge’ to create science-fiction-like tools. There’s incredible promise in all this for all of us, from green technologies to hyper-personalised medicine. But also peril. AI-powered robots and drones are brilliant for scaled manufacturing but devastating on the battlefield. Discoveries that cure disease can also create new weapons. And as states race for tech supremacy, or as some algorithms become as powerful as states, those hyper-personalised tools could become a new vector for conflict and control. Power itself is becoming more diffuse, more unpredictable as control over these technologies is shifting from states to corporations, and sometimes to individuals. And at the same time, the foundations of trust in our societies are eroding. Information, once a unifying force, is increasingly weaponised. Falsehood spreads faster than fact, dividing communities and distorting reality. We live in an age of hyper-connection yet profound isolation. The algorithms flatter our biases and fracture our public squares. And as trust collapses, so does our shared sense of truth – one of the greatest losses a society can suffer. The defining challenge of the twenty-first century is not simply who wields the most powerful technologies, but who guides them with the greatest wisdom. Our security, our prosperity, and our humanity depend on it. Our world is being remade. And for the first time, we are all at the heart of it. My Service must now operate in this new context too: not just expert on hostile states, terrorism, proliferation and more, but also fluent in technology, able to anticipate the second and third order effects of advances that reshape the world in minutes not months. And as China will be a central part of the global transformation taking place this century, it is essential that we, as MI6, continue to inform the government’s understanding of China’s rise and the implications for UK national security. I’m going to break with tradition and won’t give you a global threat tour, but will focus here on Putin’s Russia. We all continue to face the menace of an aggressive, expansionist and revisionist Russia, seeking to subjugate Ukraine and harass NATO. I find it harrowing that hundreds of thousands have died, with the toll mounting every day, because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population. But Putin should be in no doubt, our support is enduring. The pressure we apply on Ukraine’s behalf will be sustained. Because it is fundamental not just to European sovereignty and security but to global stability. Alongside the grinding war, Russia is testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war. It’s important to understand their attempts to bully, fearmonger and manipulate, because it affects us all. I am talking about: Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. Drones buzzing airports and bases. Aggressive activity in our seas, above and below the waves. State-sponsored arson and sabotage. Propaganda and influence operations that crack open and exploit fractures within societies. Countering this activity is the work of intelligence and security services across Europe and the globe. And as the Foreign Secretary made clear in a speech last week, the UK is defending itself against this Russian information warfare – sanctioning Russian media outlets pushing Kremlin narratives. The export of chaos is a feature not a bug in this Russian approach to international engagement; and we should be ready for this to continue until Putin is forced to change his calculus. So, how should we respond? It’s not enough now just to understand the world. We must shape it too. MI6 is well-positioned to respond to these threats and wider global instability. And we will continue to evolve, just as we have throughout our long history. The UK government has invested in our intelligence agencies and we are all using our unique powers to keep the British people safe. Our ‘open and connected’ partnerships across the UK Intelligence Community, with HMGCC, NSSIF and the wider tech ecosystem in the UK will become even more important – because in the digital battleground, no single organisation can prevail alone. As a global agency, MI6’s inbuilt strength is our partners and our people. The risks I have set out require us to work ever more closely with our colleagues in MI5, GCHQ and in defence and diplomacy. But also with our Five Eyes partners, with the E3, the EU, NATO, those across the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific and beyond. And with many valued partners whose identity needs to remain secret. Together, we integrate our diverse talent, data and tools to meet the threat. AI is a domain in which we will excel, using the technology to augment, not replace, our human skills. Every digital trace, every byte of data, every algorithmic decision has implications for the safety of the lives of the courageous people who work with us as officers and agents, and for the UK’s strategic advantage. Mastery of technology will infuse everything we do. Not just in our labs, but in the field, in our tradecraft, and even more importantly, in the mindset of every officer. We will become as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages. Under my leadership, MI6 will continue to attract Britain’s best and most creative minds: linguists and data scientists, case officers and engineers, behavioural experts and technologists. We need people who walk in the shoes and get in the heads of our adversaries. We need people who think differently, challenge assumptions, and act decisively. All can thrive and make a difference at MI6. At an operational level, we will sharpen our edge and impact with audacity, tapping into – if you like – our historical SOE instincts. We’re at our best when we’re hustling to make things happen, because our intelligence is most valuable when it changes reality on the ground. We will take calculated risks, where the prize is significant and the national interest clear. We will never stoop to the tactics of our opponents. But we must seek to outplay them. In every domain. In every way. So intelligence must drive action. Action must deliver advantage. And advantage must serve Britain’s security and prosperity. But at the core, our deeper contribution is also our simplest – how we unlock human agency. Our fast-paced, tech and threat-infused world now generates more heat than light. As nations retrench and rearm, we are losing opportunities to listen to what’s really going on. I’ve seen time and again throughout my career, that this is where MI6 matters most: we listen and we hear. We understand, because we take time to learn languages and cultures, complex technical and historical detail, immerse ourselves in what’s really driving the situation. Across the globe, right now, our officers are finding people with the courage to step forward, and they are taking time to sit and listen to break these tightening cycles of violence. They listen for nuance, for connection, for opportunity. Over the years, I’ve listened to terrorists who have told us how to defuse the bomb because they know that more violence won’t help. To proliferators and smugglers who’ve told us where to find the dangerous material, motivated to protect their children’s future. To people trapped in authoritarian regimes who know, deep down, that their humanity is being chipped away – and that telling us what’s really going on is an important release, allowing us all to find better ways to navigate our changing world. So, we will work with our agents. And we will continue to engage directly, and with respect, with states and organisation currently working against us. Away from the glare of the media, we will use MI6’s convening power wherever we can to make a material difference, bringing parties together to defuse tensions. But the response to the increasing risks we face won’t be delivered by the UK intelligence community alone. Wider society has a role to play too. That includes work taking place in schools across the country so our children don’t get duped by information manipulation. Let’s all check sources, consider evidence, and be alive to those algorithms that trigger intense reactions, like fear. It also means everyone in society really understanding the world we are in – a world where terrorists plot against us, where our enemies fearmonger, bully and manipulate, and the front line is everywhere. Online, on our streets, in our supply chains, in the minds and on the screens of our citizens. We must all stand together against this. As we do today with our friends in Australia after the shocking antisemitic terrorist attack this weekend. My thoughts -and those of my whole organisation – are with the family, friends and loved ones of the victims. Light will always win over darkness. In rising to meet these challenges we, in MI6, will remain anchored to our values: courage, creativity, respect and integrity. And to our principles: accountability and trust are not constraints on our work; they are the foundations of our legitimacy with the British public. Recently, I had the privilege of meeting and thanking a foreign agent who has worked with us for decades, taking extraordinary risks to help keep the UK safe. I asked why. They said simply, ‘Your values. Your integrity and respect. None of us have a future without them’. This moment reinforced to me that we must remain a very human agency. And so, to sustain that trust, MI6 will continue to be more open. Not for the sake of visibility, but because it matters – and as my MI5 counterpart Sir Ken McCallum said recently - because it is a strength. We will continue the practice of speaking publicly, broaden our channels of engagement, and sustain our focus on attracting the most diverse talent to join our Service. Transparency does not mean revealing what must remain secret. It means showing the British people who we are, what we stand for, and why our work matters. We need your trust and support for the difficult and often dangerous work our agents pursue, every day of the year. In an age of uncertainty, one constant remains: the choices made by human beings still determine the shape of the world. Yes, technology can illuminate possibilities: but information requires judgement; complexity demands clarity; and only people can decide which path to follow. The United Kingdom’s global voice has never rested solely on strength – it has rested on trust, principle, and the ability to understand others as well as ourselves. That is also the essence of intelligence: not simply knowing the world, but interpreting it through a uniquely human lens. Ours is the quiet service, the hidden service. It is one rooted in a profound belief that when human beings act with purpose and integrity, they can steady a faltering world. When the Berlin Wall fell, it was our shared belief in freedom that carried Europe forward. When acts of terror targeted open societies, it was intelligence, cooperation and resolve that preserved them. And when adversaries blur fact and falsehood, our task is to defend the space where truth can still stand. As we step into the future, the tools at our disposal will evolve. But what will always matter most is the human element – the person who stands in the shadows and says: this is right, and that is wrong. That choice – the exercise of human agency – has shaped our world before, and it will shape it again. Because in the end, it is not what we can do that defines us, but what we choose to do. Thank you. Published 15 December 2025

The United Kingdom’s global voice has never rested solely on strength – it has rested on trust, principle, and the ability to understand others as well as ourselves. That is also the essence of intelligence: not simply knowing the world, but interpreting it through a uniquely human lens. Ours is the quiet service, the hidden service. It is one rooted in a profound belief that when human beings act with purpose and integrity, they can steady a faltering world. When the Berlin Wall fell, it was our shared belief in freedom that carried Europe forward. When acts of terror targeted open societies, it was intelligence, cooperation and resolve that preserved them. And when adversaries blur fact and falsehood, our task is to defend the space where truth can still stand. As we step into the future, the tools at our disposal will evolve. But what will always matter most is the human element – the person who stands in the shadows and says: this is right, and that is wrong. That choice – the exercise of human agency – has shaped our world before, and it will shape it again. Because in the end, it is not what we can do that defines us, but what we choose to do. Thank you. Published 15 December 2025

"Very often what happens is that the architects die, and they leave a zombie. We seem to be in a zombie era." The whole time I was watching the discussion between Jesse Michels and Eric Weinstein and Eric Davis, I felt like there was some darker thing lurking beneath the surface that connects the seemingly intentional stagnation of physics as a scientific discipline, the extreme secrecy surrounding the alleged UAP crash retrieval/reverse engineering program and the lack of any theoretical physicists working the problem, and the government's stated intention to control (per Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸) the future of AI -- a future where there's no point investing in AI startups because “we [the government] are going to make sure that AI is going to be a function of two or three large companies. We will directly regulate and control those companies. There will be no startups.” And there's the other part Andreessen recounted from his White House meeting. He was told by the [Biden] administration that "During the Cold War, we [the federal government] classified entire areas of physics and took them out of the research community — entire branches of physics basically went dark and didn't proceed. If we decide we need to [for AI/math], we're going to do the same thing." Take a minute and think about that, because it's actually chilling. A clear precedent has been cited here -- one none of us knew about before Andreessen brought it to our attention -- and it raises two big questions: 1) Why? 2) HOW? Weinstein returns multiple times in this episode to the diminishingly small number of people who have the capacity to operate at the highest levels of physics and math. And whenever you have a small number of people who act as the natural gating function for something incredibly powerful, it's not a leap to imagine an additional layer of control being placed on them by pressure from outside. Whether that's through legal threats like "born secret," NDAs, direct threats of physical harm, money, regulation, etc., there are ways to lock down the gatekeepers so that they never do the thing -- at least not in public -- that the most powerful people in the world don't want them to do. Weinstein kept saying, about both the seemingly intentional stagnation of physics and the lack of physicists working the UAP problem, "this makes no sense." But it does make sense if you shift the frame to, "they don't want us to find the answers and are actively trying to stop us." The feeling I kept getting as I watched this fascinating discussion was that the legacy crash retrieval program used to have a lot more direct oversight and funding decades ago, but that the compartmentalization and secrecy around it turned it into more and more of an oxbow lake, and that as it got cut off from the conventional scientific community and defense establishment, it became more secretive, less well-funded, and less coordinated. So it kind of became its own siloed-off thing that fewer and fewer people knew about, but the people who did still know protected the territory fiercely. And then came the era of AAWSAP and AATIP and UAPTF, and without the deep, secret, institutional knowledge held by members of the legacy program, they tried to piece together what had happened in the past while not being able to penetrate the sort of firewall that existed partially because of controlled secrecy, and partially because of the firewalling effect of time. They were doing a lot of cold case file work, while running into the deepest of deep state secrecy efforts. That secrecy, at least based on my reading of the situation, was instituted decades ago, when the atomic-era scientific community (mostly the same group of geniuses that were at the top of the Manhattan Project) got together and -- probably at the behest of of the US government -- decided physics was becoming too dangerous if it continued down the path that it was on. So, as my spitball theory goes, they intentionally beached the entire enterprise on the shoals of string theory and quantized gravity and all the stuff Weinstein talks about everywhere he goes -- the "dogs that won't hunt" that are also "the only game in town." The very theories that have, in the real world, run physics aground. So let's come back to Andreessen's point here: they classified entire branches of physics and took them out of the research community, while real physics went off on a wild goose chase that has yielded precious few demonstrable results in the past half century or so. The effect is that the physics community has been off the scent for so long that anyone old enough to have held the knowledge that was shoved back into Pandora's proverbial box through extreme secrecy measures is now dead. And their taking of that knowledge to the grave may well be a critical part of the secrecy effort. Dead physicists tell no tales. I have this eerie sense that we scared ourselves shitless with certain discoveries (likely knowledge that followed from nuclear physics, which is itself still highly protected and curtailed) and decided that the only way to stop our headlong rush into world-ending catastrophe was to literally bury the knowledge and wait until everyone who had it died off. The government looks, at least to me, to have cauterized a destructive branch in the scientific timeline like they were the Time Variance Authority from Marvel comics. 80 years of claimed zero-progress in reverse-engineering alleged crashed or recovered UAPs. 40+ years of dead-ended physics. Only two or three major AI companies, one of which is now in a fight to the death with the Department of War. And the rumors that AI has "plateaued" or even "dead-ended" in its progress that keep springing up has potential echoes in the AI world of physics being diverted into String Theory. I'm not a mathematician or a physicist. I can't examine all the deeper particulars because I have neither the knowledge or the training. I only have surface level pattern recognition, and that tells me it all feels connected. The problem for the gatekeepers is that you can't bury knowledge that has been discovered once indefinitely. It's certain that all of this will be figured out again. And as Weinstein pointed out about a couple of non-physicists who figured out how to piece together nuclear weapons based on declassified information and publicly available knowledge, it IS happening. But it seems that at least on the individual basis, those green shoots are being pruned. Weinstein asks why none of the people who funded his education are "interested" in his Grand Unifying Theory. Weinstein is too well-known and too well-respected to just be taken out of play. They can't buy him off. They can't make him disappear without drawing more attention. So maybe they just hope that Geometric Unity will die on its own. Maybe they are behind the attacks on GU as something totally unserious. Maybe they have found a way to make other members of the physics community willing to look away. So, my question about this larger hypothetical operation to stop dangerous science and math is this: was it really just a massive kicking of the can down the road. Did they hoped it would buy us time? And if so, to what end? What are they waiting for? Can this game really be played forever? Maybe they think it can. Maybe they have an ongoing directive to keep suppressing this knowledge for as long as possible, and perhaps there's some secret core group whose job is to be the perpetual gatekeepers of potentially civilization-ending secrets. Maybe the Epstein connection to all of this was precisely because he was part of the operation to discover who was doing forbidden work and assess their progress. Maybe that's why, when he met Weinstein, he knew so much about GU. It's impossible to say with any certainty, but as a theory, it does have some real explanatory power. I find myself thinking of the fictional Brothers of the Cruciform Sword in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade -- a small, ancient, secret society whose job it was to keep tabs on people looking for the Holy Grail and stop them, so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Are we following the same track here? Could this, as crazy as it sounds, be the missing connective tissue in this mystery?

The proposed indefinite stay-away by Zimbabwe’s war veterans’ leader Blessed “Bombshell” Geza has failed to take off. Zimbabweans, particularly in Bulawayo and Harare and other small towns, chose to go to work today. I see on social media that some citizens in the diaspora are angry with fellow compatriots back home for going to work, but we should remember that Zimbabwe has 95% unemployment, so if people do not go out to hustle, they will starve, so goes the argument. The idea that people would get food from retailers or wholesalers was Alice in Wonderland stuff, it was never going to work or happen in a country where most businesses are owned by the corrupt cabal that the action intended to remove or loosen its grip on power. Secondly, Zimbabweans want to be liberated from corrupt rule by a particular type of political group and politician, so without the traditional opposition throwing its weight behind Geza's call, his efforts were always going to be in vain even though they are noble and progressive. The failure of this stay-away ends any immediate hope that citizens will participate in any liberation efforts unless mobilised by the traditional opposition, which does not exist, or by the military. I will be blunt. Short of a military intervention to stop Emmerson Mnangagwa’s corrupt rule, he will now get everything he wants, including term extensions. He is relentless. Zimbabweans will now be stuck with Mnangagwa until the day he dies and possibly will have to accept that his kids will rule them too with the assistance of his crooked cronies and clansmen. Zimbabweans should forget about the 2028 election and as a local doctor mentioned on social media, begin working through the five stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. It is pointless putting your hopes in a process that you know too well will be rigged. For him to fail to achieve what he wants, Mnangagwa would have to make a catastrophic mistake, like killing loads of people which will attract international scrutiny or firing his Vice President, General Constantino Chiwenga which might finally trigger a decisive response. There is now nobody with the capacity to stop him, short of a military intervention or death. Geza has tried, but there is no tangible citizen support that was forthcoming. Geza managed to force Mnangagwa’s team to stop chanting the 2030 slogan and pushed them into another plan of bribing MPs with illegally parcelled land. But after today, the dictator knows that Geza is now all alone, unless the military intervenes, which, as I have said before, is now looking highly unlikely unless they are provoked by the continued conspicuous consumption of looted public funds. So, Zimbabweans must now accept the reality that their failure to sacrifice for their liberation by simply staying at home will mean more unemployment, more looting of public funds, more dilapidated hospitals and public infrastructure, and more economic pain all around. Those are the grim political and socio-economic realities of Zimbabwe going forward, nothing less, nothing more. Journalists will continue writing about corruption scandals, but only for historical records and as part of our job, and for many readers, it would be for entertainment value sadly. Some will just switch to issues that have positive mental health outcomes. If you are young, have a passport, and have somewhere to go, my advice is to leave, otherwise, you will just become another tragic statistic of poverty, unemployment, and possibly death in a derelict hospital. Ordinarily, Africans do not care about who is in power if they have the basic necessities of life. But sadly, in Zimbabwe, those necessities will remain out of reach for as long as Mnangagwa and his corrupt cabal are in power. As for the opposition, it is dead. There will be no pushback for reasons you all know. You will remember that last year in May, I mentioned that three key countries to Zimbabwe's politics privately mentioned through their diplomats that, as far as they were concerned, 2028 was gone, and they were now looking at perhaps 2033 or even beyond to envisage any possibility of a change of government. But as long as Zimbabweans remain fixated on the main actor syndrome and not an opposition movement, they must also accept being stuck in the current political ditch for a long time to come. What does this mean? It means more looting. For the diaspora, it means continuing to send money back home for the foreseeable future. The tragedy is that Zimbabwean citizens continue to look for a hero figure rather than building a durable, collective movement that outlasts individual egos. Until that changes, power will remain concentrated in the hands of whoever seizes the moment, no matter how corrupt or undemocratic they are like Mnangagwa. For foreign diplomats, it simply means accepting that they now must work with the government of the day no matter how corrupt it is, with no hope of any change unless there is a dramatic intervention that puts an end to the current political rot. For General Constantino Chiwenga, it means kissing goodbye to his dream of becoming president. He must now tighten his security and pray that Mnangagwa does not make the un-strategic mistake of firing him because he might not be able to fight back. If he still has an appetite for this job, he has to fight for it by coming out of the shadows, otherwise he will meet the same fate that destroyed Joice Mujuru’s career. Without her husband, she became a nobody, and without the military, Chiwenga will be just another brick in the wall. For 74-year-old war veterans’ leader, former intelligence officer, and former Member of Parliament Blessed “Bombshell” Geza, keep your head up high old man. You did what you could, and history will be kind to you for trying, at great personal cost. Your beautiful home in Sanyati was burnt, your wife harassed, and now you are living in hiding. One would have to be a fool of monumental proportions not to acknowledge your efforts and say thank you for trying. You have contributed to people’s consciousness about how bad corruption has become, and hopefully you will live to see the change that Zimbabwe so desperately needs. Every struggle needs leadership; people cannot lead themselves. The idea that the Arab Spring was leaderless is rooted in ignorance and a lack of understanding of what happened. Without leaders to provide direction and inspiration, citizens cannot move forward on their own. Citizens were given direction and inspiration by Geza, but quite evidently, they felt it was not enough to compel them to make sacrifices, such as simply staying away from work and enduring a little hardship for the greater good and a better future. The dysfunctionality of national leadership in Zimbabwe has been fuelled by money changing hands, shameless ethnic alignments, corruption, and the absence of a shared national vision and values. Put simply, Zimbabweans are not united against the common enemy, corrupt rule. The oversized egos that prioritise individualism over a collective agenda are self-evident, and they are among the key ingredients of today’s failed politics. Sadly, it is the ordinary people and the lumpen who cheer that individualism that will continue to suffer. As Dr Solomon Guramatunhu has always said in my favourite saying of his, politicians are a mirror of who we are as a society. Every society has a leadership it deserves. When the society fundamentally changes, it will change its leadership too. When citizens hero-worship politicians regardless of the mistakes they make, it means such a people deserve those leaders. When citizens demand more, the leaders will also change. For now, Zimbabweans are stuck with Mnangagwa and an elusive opposition that only exists in name and not indeed. I conclude by saying that only something very dramatic will change Zimbabwe’s state of affairs. It could be a military intervention that removes the current corrupt political leadership of Mnangagwa, but ultimately it will also serve the interests of the elites if the citizens are just by-standers, or a dramatic fall from grace for the corrupt if a few of them are arrested beyond the president’s control, leading to the public shedding its fear. At this moment, any change will do, because the country was removed from the gutter in 2017 into the sewer. The question is who has the capacity to bring the required change? Only time will tell.

There is a delicious irony in the way our governing centrists, in the UK and in the EU, are lamenting the Trump Shock. They wax lyrical about the globalised, financialised capitalist order which they now mourn. They portray it as a golden age, a natural global system of free trade and benign capital flows. Are they truly oblivious to the facts of recent economic history? Do they not know that the grossly imbalanced, extractive, Ponzi-like financialised global capitalism which has spawned the crises that propelled Trump into the White House was also birthed by a major shock? The Nixon shock? Centrists admonish the Trump boys for having turned on their allies but they forget that the Nixon Shock was equally, if not more so, an intentional devastating assault on Europe, Japan and the UK. They seem unaware that precisely because of the economic devastation caused in the 1970s and 1980s, including in America’s heartlands, the Nixon Shock’s architects, men like Paul Volcker, achieved their main long-term objective: to ensure that American hegemony grew alongside America’s trade and government budget deficits, not to mention on the back of financial rents earned at the expense of real value creation. Many seem puzzled that, while the EU and the Britain differ in important ways - mainly in that the EU is running a huge surplus with the US while the UK remains a deficit economy - our centrist regimes on both sides of the Channel seem equally at a loss. There is a reason for this. Since 1971, our economies have been hooked into the same US-centric global surplus recycling mechanism whose deep crisis is steering our politics into the arms of the xenophobic ultra-right – with our electorates increasingly pummelled by nasty undercurrents fuelled by the crisis of this global recycling mechanism that once drove Europe’s and Britain’s growth and relative stability. The essence of this global recycling mechanism (which I once labelled The Global Minotaur) is simple: Since the 1970s, America’s deficits provided Germany, Japan and later China the demand for their factories’ manufactures. In return, the European Union, Japan and later China sent their accumulated profits to Wall Street and its appendage, the City of London, to be recycled into the US rentier sector: private and public debt, some equities, and real estate. A Chinese official once described this mechanism to me as a Dark Deal. “Our Dark Deal with the Americans,” he explained, “turns on the US trade deficit, which keeps demand for our manufactures high. In return, our capitalists invest the bulk of their dollar superprofits into America’s rentier economy - Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate. Once this process got underway”, he concluded, “America shifted much of its industrial production to our shores.” The problem with this global recycling mechanism was that, to function smoothly, it had to generate larger and larger imbalances, greater trade deficits for the US, and more accumulated rents for Northern Europe and East Asia. But, there are limits to how large imbalances can grow, both in terms of trade deficits and in terms of profits versus rents. Ruptures are inevitable. The longer they are delayed the greater the pain they inflict – a truth that centrists never acknowledged, not even when the Crash of 2008 was tearing down their houses. Trump’s boys have dared asked the pressing question that the centrists refuse to countenance: What comes after the Dark Deal once the imbalances built on the US trade deficit proved unsustainably massive? Their proposed solutions may seem wrongheaded, half-baked, even crazy but at least Trump’s team has identified the American ruling class’s problem: How to maintain US hegemony in the face of America’s rapid de-industrialisation, with the Triffin Dilemma hanging over their heads, and now that financial rents are being replaced by what I call cloud rents. In contrast, UK and EU politicians are utterly out of their depth, running around like decapitated chickens, oscillating between vacuous bravado and servility to The Donald. Guy Standing suggested that, today, I focus on how Europe and the UK should respond to the Trump Shock. I could talk endlessly on this. I could, for example, recommend not just a 10% cloud tax by which to clobber Big Tech but also repealing all regulations that we introduced in Europe to comply with Bill Clinton’s despicable ‘anticircumvention’ Act which is why you can’t buy a jailbreaking tool so your printer is able to recognise and use cheaper, generic ink cartridges. I could recommend that our governments rescind all tariffs imposed at the behest of Washington on excellent Chinese solar panels and electric vehicles, while entering into a serious EU-UK-Chinese dialogue with a view to stimulate our economies in a coordinated fashion so as to stem the recessionary wave coming from Trump’s America. I could recommend that Europe starts its own Peace negotiations with Moscow over Ukraine, rejecting the plunder of Ukraine’s underground wealth by Trump’s boys. But, in all honesty, I can’t find the energy to make these recommendations when I know that the Radical Centre in power, in Britain and in the EU, will do everything they can to not do any of that – in exactly the same way they botched the euro crisis or the opportunities offered by the pandemic. Determined to remain wedded to America’s rentier economy, Europe’s and Britain’s elites will not deviate from current policies – not unless we overthrow them first. But for this we need an agenda bolder than Trump’s and Farage’s and, of course, a radically humanist one – an agenda that is not fearful of radical proposals like a public green investment bank, a trust fund for everyone yielding an unconditional personal income, the termination of all quasi-energy markets, the socialisation of housing and, last but not least, a surge in corporations practising one-employee-one-member-one-vote. Meanwhile, as we stuggle to give political representation to such an agenda, all eyes on China – the only country, for better or for worse, that seems willing and able (though not predestined) to counter Trump’s bullies, to boost green energy production, to work toward turning the BRICS into a new Bretton Woods serving the interests of the Global South.

There is a delicious irony in the way our governing centrists, in the UK and in the EU, are lamenting the Trump Shock. They wax lyrical about the globalised, financialised capitalist order which they now mourn. They portray it as a golden age, a natural global system of free trade and benign capital flows. Are they truly oblivious to the facts of recent economic history? Do they not know that the grossly imbalanced, extractive, Ponzi-like financialised global capitalism which has spawned the crises that propelled Trump into the White House was also birthed by a major shock? The Nixon shock? Centrists admonish the Trump boys for having turned on their allies but they forget that the Nixon Shock was equally, if not more so, an intentional devastating assault on Europe, Japan and the UK. They seem unaware that precisely because of the economic devastation caused in the 1970s and 1980s, including in America’s heartlands, the Nixon Shock’s architects, men like Paul Volcker, achieved their main long-term objective: to ensure that American hegemony grew alongside America’s trade and government budget deficits, not to mention on the back of financial rents earned at the expense of real value creation. Many seem puzzled that, while the EU and the Britain differ in important ways - mainly in that the EU is running a huge surplus with the US while the UK remains a deficit economy - our centrist regimes on both sides of the Channel seem equally at a loss. There is a reason for this. Since 1971, our economies have been hooked into the same US-centric global surplus recycling mechanism whose deep crisis is steering our politics into the arms of the xenophobic ultra-right – with our electorates increasingly pummelled by nasty undercurrents fuelled by the crisis of this global recycling mechanism that once drove Europe’s and Britain’s growth and relative stability. The essence of this global recycling mechanism (which I once labelled The Global Minotaur) is simple: Since the 1970s, America’s deficits provided Germany, Japan and later China the demand for their factories’ manufactures. In return, the European Union, Japan and later China sent their accumulated profits to Wall Street and its appendage, the City of London, to be recycled into the US rentier sector: private and public debt, some equities, and real estate. A Chinese official once described this mechanism to me as a Dark Deal. “Our Dark Deal with the Americans,” he explained, “turns on the US trade deficit, which keeps demand for our manufactures high. In return, our capitalists invest the bulk of their dollar superprofits into America’s rentier economy - Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate. Once this process got underway”, he concluded, “America shifted much of its industrial production to our shores.” The problem with this global recycling mechanism was that, to function smoothly, it had to generate larger and larger imbalances, greater trade deficits for the US, and more accumulated rents for Northern Europe and East Asia.

On 23rd October, I testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. My speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. Here it is: My name is Yanis Varoufakis. I am an economist, a politician and activist representing Greece’s MeRA25 as well as the paneuropean radical movement DiEM25, and I am here in my capacity as an expert on the manner in which capitalist dynamics are fuelling and reinforcing the Genocide of the Palestinian people. Today, with a view to assisting the jury to reach an informed verdict, I shall address the economic forces underpinning the complicity of global capital in, initially, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and, more recently, their genocide. The jury should want to keep in mind that genocide pays. And, I shall be arguing later, it pays a great deal more now that a new form of capital is involved in its execution. To begin, the jury should want to acknowledge that capitalism thrives on human misery and in sheer destruction. There is, therefore, no paradox in the fact that, at a time when demand, production and consumer confidence are falling precipitously in Israel, the Israeli Stock Exchange not only did not fall since the Gaza genocide began but in fact it rose by more than 160%. This reflects the underlying Political Economy of Occupation and, in particular, the manner in which thousands of Israeli companies are intertwined with US, European and Korean mega-corporations – including the world’s weightiest financial conglomerates – comprising an international network that kicked into overdrive after October 2023. The moment the Israeli defence budget doubled, it crowded in large ‘investments’ into Israel’s killing machine. For more detailed information on this, the jury should take into account the Report to the United Nations published by Francesca Albanese, the UN’s Special Raporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories entitled ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide’. Of course, none of this is new. History teaches us that economic interests have been key drivers and enablers of colonial enterprises and often of the genocides they perpetrated. The corporate sector has been intrinsic to colonialism since its inception, with corporations – beginning with the Dutch and British East India Companies – historically contributing to the violence against, the exploitation, and ultimately the dispossession of Indigenous people and lands, a mode of domination known as racial colonial capitalism. Israel’s colonization of the occupied Palestinian lands could not have been an exception. The jury should be aware of the manner in which Palestine today demonstrates all three phases of colonial expropriation: First came the phase of unsophisticated expropriation – the brutal plunder of land and the conversion of indigenous people into cheap or even slave labour. That phase, which led to the rise of capitalism in the 18th Century, was evidenced in Palestine since the Balfour Declaration and, much more so, during and in the aftermath of the Nakba. Palestinian land was brutally expropriated and Palestinians either turned into refugees or encased in Bantustans which ended up, until at least the second intifada, providing cheap labour to the colonisers. The second phase of modern colonialism, also known as neoimperialism, did not so much concern the plunder of land as it was intended to secure markets for the surplus commodities of the capitalist metropoles that the capitalist metropoles could not absorb domestically due to insufficient domestic demand. This neoimperialist dimension also made its appearance in Palestine in connection to the plight of the Palestinian people as Israel began to absorb massive quantities of weaponry imported from the US, Germany and UK, thus contributing significantly to the aggregate demand in those countries. More recently still, the Israeli arms manufacturers have managed to enter this game as exporters – by exporting hi-tech weaponry tried and tested on the Palestinian population to foreign countries, including (shamefully) my own country, Greece, but Arab countries too. The third phase of contemporary capital accumulation feeding expropriation at home and colonialism abroad, is the one I refer to as the technofeudal phase – a phase underpinned by the accumulation of a new, radical form of capital which I have called cloud capital. The jury will want to note that cloud capital is a network of machines (comprising phones, tablets, servers and algorithms) which does something remarkable: we train it to train us to train it to know us well and, eventually, manipulate our behaviour and, therefore, giving the owners of this cloud capital exorbitant powers to do things to us against our will in their interest. In this context, the jury should want to take into account the fact that no country has given as much access to a population’s biometric data as Israel has given to IBM. Since the Gaza genocide began, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Palantir have been expanding their cloud capital penetration at a breathtaking pace. Face recognition software, target selection algorithms and automated execution systems are being tested in real time, at will, and with fewer ethical constraints than in the case of experiments on laboratory rats. America’s Big Tech could not be happier. War, ladies and gentlemen, was always lucrative. Arms dealers made fortunes from supplying weapons to the highest bidder. Indirectly, all sorts of capital – including capital that produced consumer goods – accumulated faster at times of war and destruction. But, in this technofeudal age, cloud capital accumulates new powers in the battlefields directly by improving its algorithms’ capacity to understand and to manipulate humans. Nothing helps cloud capital improve its efficiency than the real time experience of monitoring and manipulating the behaviour of combatants, of target-selectors, of the politicians that enable these target-selectors and, yes, tragically, of the population targeted for annihilation. The jury should, therefore, be aware of the fact that today’s AI-targeting devices that maximise death and destruction in Gaza will tomorrow morning power up the Amazon or Google or Microsoft algorithms which make us buy stuff we neither need nor want; which poison our conversations in our social media; that drive increasingly dispossessed proletarians, drivers, nurses and warehouse workers. In other words, I call upon the jury to note that what is happening in Palestine, the unfolding ethnic cleansing and genocide, is totally intertwined with the forms of exploitation and the toxification of our social milieu in the rest of the world. In this sense, yes, our freedom in the rest of the world is utterly intertwined with the liberation of Palestinians from colonialism, expropriation, fear and manipulation. To conclude, I would like to thank the jury for its important work and to implore its members to pay attention to the manner in which capitalist dynamics, especially those underpinning the reproduction of cloud capital, are fuelling and reinforcing the Genocide of the Palestinian people.

This is a message to my Jewish Brothers and sisters around the world. And anyone who stands with us in the fight for the sanctity of the Western world, as we know it. I hope with all my heart all the hostages are returned, that Hamas surrenders, and that the war ends so we can all start rebuilding towards a better future. But abroad - this stands in the way. And we must all be prepared. What you are already feeling abroad...what you have been feeling for over two years now. For being Jewish. Or Israeli. Or a Zionist. I am all three. It will get worse before it gets better and there's a long road ahead. This is a must watch because of the conduct. You will quite literally see a woman suffering a disease of Jewish and Israeli hatred faced with woman who have reason, resilience and truth. Everything that this deranged woman - this Academic staffer at the university - says, the way she says it, the way that she cannot help but continue to say what she says, the way she cannot just walk away. Her threatening manner, screaming, her trying to intimidate, her trying to manipulate the situation vis-a-vis the security guard (who does not take the bait) whilst she is the hater and the provocateur. It is quite literally hatred personified. This is at the University of Sydney, Australia. On a campus ground. A staffer. Jewish people and our allies must understand that this is the product of an indoctrination of hate on a mass scale. And that you have a stake in the battle. And a responsibility. Established and defined words, like the word Zionism, does not exist for these people. They have hijacked the word and made it something evil over the course of years. And now it's exploded for all to see. They have equated the word Zionism with Naziism. False. They have tried to redefine the word Zionism. They have redefined what a Jew is and are running with it. Almost all Jews in the world are Zionists. So they’ve redefined what Zionism is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what a genocide is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what apartheid is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what colonialism is. The world fell for it. They’ve redefined what an actual country is and what history is - there's no Palestine and there never has been a state called Palestine for Arabs - they've just willed it into being from air. That doesn't mean a lot of Jews around the world against a peaceful Palestine one day, maybe. But there is no Palestine. The world fell for it. When you let people take over words and come up with new meanings, and you do not resist that, then this is the first step to losing your freedom. Because we as people start to lose truth, reality - and we begin to lose the glue that keeps us all connected. People stop seeing eye to eye because there is no more truth. And things start to fall apart just like are seeing here. But imagine this example with even more different definitions being warped…within society on many topics. You tear away at the truth and everything starts to fray and this is a physical example of just that. We are the last line of defense in this war of words. This Jewish woman, and those with her, are. They showed up. And excelled. They demonstrated peacefully for their identity. They did not threaten. They stood their ground. They said what they had to say. They took care of their safety where they could. We’re respectful to authorities. They showed strength and resilience and courage. All in the face of someone who is consumed with propaganda, does not make sense, who is filled with rage, who cannot answer simple questions or accept reality for what it is, and must push back and threaten and bully. She has an intolerance that has no bounds. I’m sure they would have engaged in something civilly to talk about were there the opportunity - but as you can see, there was no-one home. When faced with the ongoing threat of the hijacking of all that holds the West together, we have to show up. Push back like this. With leadership and nerves of steal. Everyone can play a part, abide by the law - and push back unapologetically at this hatred. It’s happening everywhere. It will continue unless YOU show up. This is the tactic of the enemies of the West. First, change the meaning of words. Second, break the rules. Third, lose consensus and distort reality. Fourth, lose trust. Fifth, chaos ensues. Six, human destruction. The more we challenge this chaos and the more we take it head-on wherever you are - at work, in your community, with friends, in all sorts of settings - the more the West has a chance in the long run. If you don’t do it, the West will fall. Do not lose the West. Take a stand and fight for it, whether you are Jewish or not. Stand up to those spreading hatred and lies - and fight the good fight for peace, coexistence and truth. - Eitan Chitayat
