🚨𝐊𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐈 𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆-𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐏𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒?🚨🇷🇼 🚍 Kigali’s buses are finally getting better. Services are becoming more reliable. Waiting times are shorter. The system feels more organized. That progress deserves recognition. But here’s the question nobody wants to ask: 👉 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆? Because one difficult reality remains: Fare revenue alone will never fund a reliable and sustainable public transport system. Not in Kigali. Not in Tokyo Not in London Not in New York Not anywhere in the world. For example, in large U.S. transit systems, fares cover only about 38% of operating costs on average. Which means the debate is no longer just about fares. It is about moving from a “𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒚𝒔” model to a broader “𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒚𝒔” approach. Because when public transport works well, the benefits spread far beyond the passengers onboard. More people choose buses over private cars. The number of cars on the road drops. Cities move better. And the gains reach almost everyone: ✔ Residents save money, reduce transport stress, and avoid pollution exposure ✔ Employers benefit from a more reliable workforce and fewer delays ✔ Businesses move goods faster and improve customer access ✔ Drivers face less congestion, shorter travel times, and safer roads ✔ Cities reduce emissions, noise, and infrastructure pressure ✔ More urban space becomes available for housing, business, and public spaces Even people who never use the bus benefit from a system that works. So here’s the real question: 👉 𝑰𝒇 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒑𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒄 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕, 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒕? Cities like London,Paris, New York, Toronto and Vancouver and others have already answered that question through different funding mechanisms : ✅Developer contributions ✅ Payroll taxes ✅ Income and sales taxes ✅ Property-related taxes ✅Road user and parking charges ✅Vehicle and fuel levies ✅Visitor lodging taxes ✅Land value capture mechanisms 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆: 🇫🇷 France raises billions for public transport through employer payroll contributions. 🇬🇧 London partly funded Crossrail through business property taxes that generated nearly £4 billion. 🇨🇦 Vancouver applies a 15¢/litre fuel levy to help fund public transport. Because successful cities understand one thing: 🚦Public transport is not just about moving people—it shapes how a city works, grows, and competes. Kigali is making real progress. But sustaining that progress will require a bigger conversation about how urban mobility should be funded in the future. 𝑺𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌? Should Kigali continue relying mainly on fares, or is it time for a broader funding model? 👇 📖 Full piece in the attached link: #Kigali #PublicTransport #UrbanMobility #SustainableCities #Infrastructure #Africa

Speech at the Inauguration Ceremony of China GCV Industry Alliance and Zhengpai Digital Chain (Hainan) Digital Industry Alliance June 28, 2025 Dear families and friends of the China GCV Industry Alliance, Today, we gather in celebration of two remarkable milestones: the joyful occasion of the seventh Pi2Day, and the official inauguration of the Zhengpai Digital Chain (Hainan) Digital Industry Alliance, operating under the broader umbrella of the China GCV Industry Alliance. On this day of double happiness, on behalf of the Pi Network International GCV Core Team, I extend my deepest gratitude to Chairman Mr. Zheng Jianping, Vice Chairman Mr. Yu Shilong, Vice Chairman Mr. Wu Hongzhi, and all colleagues who have worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life. This exciting achievement would not have been possible without your joint efforts and commitment! The China GCV Industry Alliance was born from a clear and strong intention: To build a sustainable ecosystem and to help our community evolve into a fully independent business entity. We recognize that Pi Network carries two intertwined values: 1. Pi’s intrinsic community value, and 2. The blockchain value of Pi Chain. Our mission is to bridge these two values, bringing Pi from within our community into the vast landscape of real-world commerce. Our vision is to establish a new, decentralized value system, creating a reliable bridge for industries to utilize both Pi and its blockchain. Currently, Pi Network has entered the Open Mainnet phase, but the full-scale launch has not yet been finalized. This delay is a matter of strategic timing, as we work to stabilize the Pi price and ecosystem fundamentals. During this pivotal period, the global Pi community is focusing on education, outreach, and consensus-building—laying down the necessary conditions for a smooth and successful Mainnet rollout. In this important stage, the China GCV Industry Alliance carries several core responsibilities: 1. Domestically: Promote and expand a practical Pi economy. Actively register “MapofPi”-certified merchants. Support enterprises in applying for KYB certification. 2. Externally: Foster regular and meaningful cross-industry business cooperation. Accurately match supply and demand to unlock real economic value. 3. Ecosystem Integration: Gradually introduce and establish the value of Pi and Pi Blockchain across sectors. Encourage experimentation and early adoption of Pi in various industries. 4. Long-Term Vision: After the fully open-source mainnet launch, aim to build long-lasting and stable industry collaboration. Let me also emphasize a key principle: All business activities conducted under the Industry Alliance must comply with Chinese laws and regulations. Taxes and fees must be paid in RMB as required by law. Each enterprise must consult with the relevant authorities to ensure full legal compliance. Compliance is the foundation of sustainable growth and the cornerstone of our alliance’s future. The China GCV Industry Alliance is not only a practical initiative—it is a mission that our GCV Ambassadors must undertake with pride and responsibility. It serves as a bridge between community consensus and real market application. The Zhengpai Digital Chain (Hainan) Digital Industry Alliance, established today, is the embodiment of this vision. It localizes, operationalizes, and brings to life the grand goals of the China GCV Industry Alliance. Its significance cannot be overstated! Therefore, on behalf of Pi Network Global GCV CT, I offer my warmest congratulations on this momentous occasion! May our Industry Alliance: Thrive with strength and unity! Achieve prosperous and fruitful business cooperation! Spread the value and practical achievements of the GCV ecosystem to every corner of China! Lastly, I wish today's barter conference great success! Thank you all for your dedication and presence. With respect and joy Oriental Purple Lotus June 28, 2025

Gavin Newsom is not a politician; he is a pathological con artist who has turned the governance of California into a personal criminal enterprise so brazen it makes the mob look like amateurs. He is a public menace... The greasy hair, the fake smile that never reaches his dead, soulless eyes, and that smug, voice dripping with condescension. He is the physical embodiment of everything rotting America from within. While he lectures the rest of the nation on morality from his ivory tower, he is actually running a racketeering ring that would make Al Capone blush. He is a parasite of the highest order, feeding on the misery of a state he has systematically destroyed, turning California into a third-world wasteland of tent cities, open-air drug markets, and violent crime, all while he sips million-dollar wine in his Napa Valley estate. He is a fraud, a liar, and a thief, and his entire career is a testament to the fact that the American Left is nothing more than a syndicate of criminals protecting their own. The depth of his corruption is staggering, even by the low standards of modern politics. His former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, a woman he placed in the second-highest position in the state, was recently exposed as a felon who siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars from campaign funds for personal luxuries. She bought Chanel bags, took private jets, and installed luxury home improvements while claiming it was campaign business. And Newsom wants us to believe he knew nothing? That he was just too busy "governing" to notice his right-hand man running a million-dollar fraud ring out of his office? It is a lie. He either knew and participated, making him a co-conspirator, or he was so incompetent he allowed it to happen, making him unfit for any position of trust. There is no middle ground. He is either a criminal or a fool, and given his track record, he is likely both. He is a man who has built a career on the backs of the vulnerable, using their suffering as a backdrop for his own enrichment. But the rot goes deeper than just his staff; it is embedded in his very DNA and extends directly to his household. Newsom has weaponized his position as Governor to create a pay-to-play scheme that is nothing short of treasonous. Through a loophole known as "behested payments," he has funneled millions of dollars from special interests directly to non-profits run by his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. We are talking about millions from casino operators, utility monopolies, and healthcare giants who are simultaneously lobbying his office for favors. It is a classic extortion racket: give money to the First Family or expect nothing but hostility from the state. They call it charity; it is bribery, plain and simple. They call it philanthropy; it is a laundering scheme designed to hide the fact that he is selling the state of California to the highest bidder. He is a pimp for special interests, selling out the people he swore to protect for a handful of silver. His entire administration is a hive of scum and villainy, a testament to his belief that the law does not apply to him. He appointed Tom Girardi, a known embeeler and predator of the vulnerable, to his judicial selection committee. He placed Melahat Rafiei, a woman convicted of attempting to bribe public officials, on a state board. These are not mistakes; they are features of his regime. He rewards loyalty with public office and punishes dissent with the full force of the state. He is a man who has no regard for the rule of law, no respect for the people of California, and no shame in his relentless pursuit of power and wealth. He is a monster who has destroyed a once-great state, turning it into a nightmare of crime, poverty, and despair, all while he lives like a king. He is the enemy of the people, a traitor to his oath, and a danger to our society. The evidence is overwhelming, the pattern is clear, and the time for accountability is now. Federal investigators are closing in, subpoenas have been served, and the walls of his criminal empire are crumbling. He is scrambling, hiring high-priced lawyers and issuing denials, but the truth is out. He is a fraud, and his entire career is a lie. He is a man who has stolen from the poor to give to the rich, who has sacrificed the safety of children for political gain, and who has betrayed the trust of every single person who ever voted for him. He is a disgrace to humanity, a blight on our nation, and a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern world. He must be stopped, he must be prosecuted, and he must be put behind bars where he belongs. Let us be clear: Gavin Newsom is not a public servant. He is a public menace. He is a man who has used his position to enrich himself and his family at the expense of the people he was elected to serve. He is a criminal who has evaded justice for too long, but his time is up. The people of California deserve better. The people of America deserve better. We must demand his immediate resignation, his full prosecution, and his permanent removal from public life. He is a cancer on our society, and we must cut him out before he spreads his disease any further. He is a liar, a thief, and a traitor, and he must be held accountable for his crimes. The world is watching. The era of Gavin Newsom is over, and good riddance to him. He is a reminder of what happens when we allow evil to go unchecked, and we must never let it happen again.

🚨ALERT PATRIOTS - "TERRORIST GROUP" CAIR AND THEIR MEDIA THUGS TARGET ANOTHER AMERICAN HERO! 🔥🔥🔥 Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith is a TRUE HERO standing against the Islamization of his state. This incredible leader wants to BAN mosques from blaring the Muslim call to prayer (Adhan) through loudspeakers 5 times a day across Indiana cities - calling it exactly what it is: words of DEATH and DESTRUCTION. He doubled down: “YES, I 100% WANT TO BAN MOSQUES IN AMERICA FROM BLARING THE MUSLIM CALL TO PRAYER THROUGH LOUDSPEAKERS 5 TIMES A DAY ACROSS OUR CITIES.” Instead of backing this patriot, the local media is handing a megaphone to a "terrorist group" - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) WISH-TV’s (WISH-TV News) Tim Spears (self-proclaimed Emmy winner - they should take that award back) ran a hit piece giving CAIR’s Chicago office airtime to smear Beckwith as spreading “malicious falsehoods.” He never told viewers that Texas Governor Greg Abbott and AG Ken Paxton, plus Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have officially designated CAIR a foreign terrorist organization with direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Nor did he explain that CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing case. Their people funneled millions to Hamas. This is the same group Texas is now suing to ban from operating in the state. How about asking RAIR Foundation USA - actual experts for a statement instead of platforming a terrorist front? Listen Up Tim - Here’s what the Adhan ACTUALLY says - not the sanitized “peaceful call to prayer” lie CAIR feeds the media: 🔺“Allahu Akbar” (repeated): Allah is GREATER than your God, your laws, your Constitution, your nation. 🔺 “There is no god but Allah”: Your religions are FALSE. Only Islam is true. 🔺“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”: The final prophet. Christianity and Judaism are obsolete and must be replaced. 🔺“Come to prayer, come to success”: Real success in this life and the next exists ONLY through submission to Islam. This is followed by the five daily prayers, which include reciting Surat Al-Fatiha 17 times a day. The final verse (Quran 1:7) condemns Jews as those who earned Allah’s wrath and Christians as those gone astray. This is the dominant Islamic understanding for over 1,400 years! THIS IS CORE DOCTRINE! THIS IS ISLAM! The Adhan is a daily civilizational claim - a public declaration that Islam has arrived, does not share space, and holds supremacy over every other faith, law, and culture. In Islamic countries, churches, synagogues, and temples are banned or heavily restricted for exactly this reason. The Adhan is the supremacist marker. Tim Spears and every other hack media outlet: Stop giving terrorist-linked groups like CAIR a free pass to attack heroes while hiding the truth about what they’re really pushing. Ask the hard questions. Tell the full story. Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith is doing what every American leader should do - protecting his state from ideological conquest disguised as “religion.” We stand with you, Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith! Keep fighting. Indiana (and America) needs more like you.

To my fellow Africans please don't bother to migrate and reside in South Africa unless you are part of a multinational or you are residing there in upmarket neighborhood as a second or even third home. I would like to enlighten some of these young Sat Africans. Kenya we are home to very many refugees be it Congo DRC, Somalia , South Sudan, Ethiopia if anything at one time we were surrounded by unstable countries except Tanzania. Never have we ever attacked anyone based on their nationality. These young black South Africans suffer from a serious scarcity mentality. I want to tell them , the Ethiopian or Nigerian will be gone but I want to assure them that they will still be hungry and even worse angry. Just because they are gone does not mean that their life will change for the better or own the business they run. Uganda under dictator Idi Amin expelled all Asians and we know what happened. Well they all moved on to UK, Canada and some crossed to Kenya where they all started afresh. I only came to know recently that one of my favorite authors Robin Sharma is originally from Uganda when his parents were forced to leave Uganda. What a gem Uganda lost but again everything happens for a reason. Rest of the world welcome refugees and give them a second chance in life. Many Somalis and Ethiopians including many South Sudanese who have made it in USA, UK, Canada , EU , Australia et al at one time called Kenya home and even now they still come back to visit holding passports of their adopted countries. My fellow Kenyans one thing for certain we are NOT selfish and we are always welcoming and that is one virtue that separates us from the rest of Africa. Please hold your head high as a proud Kenyan. I also challenge leadership of all these countries, please fix your nation so that your young men and women can see hope and vision. Give them a reason to stay at home and spare them such humiliation like in SA. Many have paid the ultimate price and the man in this video has made it clear you must leave by January 2024. Please don't wait to be a statistic. In business news we are always told about the double digit of economic growth of these very countries with highest number of young men and women who all want to exit , as Africans we must hang our head in shame when young men and women risk it all to cross the Sahara desert and Libya including the Mediterranean seas searching for a better life in Europe. I am challenging Ethiopia who suffer the highest brunt in South Africa. Why are young men and women from Ethiopia insisting to travel to South Africa? We see them everyday trying to cross Moyale border and they claim they are headed to South Africa. Of what use is your double digit growth if you cannot retain your young people who end up getting humiliated like what you see in this video? Let me call out our northern neighbour , Ethiopia you run the most successful airline in Africa, you run some of the most successful export processing zones , amazing leather industry, great athletes competing alongside Kenyans for honors in leading cities around the world .I ask why are your young men women risking it all in down south ? I recently watched a documentary how these young men and women are traveling all the way to Guatemala in South America then attempting to cross to USA. It saddens me a great as an African when I see such. For south Africa Nelson Mandela a man with a big heart must be turning in his grave. I weep for Sat Africa😭😭😭 The immigrants will one day go away but you need to work to improve your life. There is never free things in life . It is said you cannot talk about the weather if you remain in bed. As always I choose to remain an optimist

🇸🇾 Aleppo is among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with a history spanning over 7,000 years. Archaeological evidence of human settlement in Aleppo dates back to the 6th millennium BC, making it a living testament to the resilience of civilization through centuries of change and conflict. In 1915, my grandparents fled the horrors of the Armenian Genocide and found safety in Aleppo. The city offered them a refuge, a place to rebuild their lives away from the persecution that devastated their homeland. This history is deeply personal for me because Aleppo was also where I was born and raised. I studied in its schools, wandered its historic streets, and absorbed its rich culture. Walking through Aleppo feels like stepping into a historic film. Its ancient walls and vibrant spirit breathe life into its remarkable story. However, the Aleppo I know has often been misrepresented. Much of what you hear about the war in Syria—especially regarding Aleppo—has been shaped by manipulative narratives designed to manufacture consent for foreign intervention. Since 2011, NATO countries and their allies have engaged in a concerted effort to destabilize Syria under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights. But the real motivations behind their actions tell a different story. In 2011, following the NATO-led intervention in Libya that resulted in the toppling of Muammar Qaddafi, Syria became the next target. Libya's descent into chaos, including the emergence of an open-air slave market, revealed the devastating consequences of such interventions. With Syria, the goals were strategic and multifaceted. The U.S. and its allies aimed to remove Bashar al-Assad to achieve several objectives: 🚨 Disrupt the "axis of resistance," in which Syria plays a crucial role. 🚨 Dislodge Russia’s presence in the Mediterranean by expelling its fleet. 🚨 Block China's Belt and Road Initiative from extending to the eastern Mediterranean. 🚨 Install a government in Damascus favourable to U.S. and Israeli interests while weakening Hezbollah. 🚨 Facilitate a Qatari pipeline through Syria to Turkey, undermining Russia's Nord Stream projects and securing Europe’s energy supply. To achieve these ends, NATO, along with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, funnelled military support to radical groups in Syria. Operations were coordinated through two joint military rooms—MOK in Jordan and MOM in Turkey. Tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons was supplied to extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Nusra Front, the same groups often labelled as global threats to peace. But Aleppo resisted. Unlike other regions, its people largely rejected joining the war against the government. The lessons of Iraq and Libya were fresh in their minds, and the residents of Aleppo recognized the foreign interference driving the conflict. They also had a reason to value stability: under Assad’s leadership, Aleppo had seen significant investment, particularly in advanced industrial cities that transformed the region into an economic powerhouse. This progress posed a threat to Turkey’s ambitions, and in response, Erdogan’s government opened the borders, allowing tens of thousands of foreign fighters to flood into northern Syria, including Aleppo. In mid-2012, terrorists launched a major offensive on Aleppo. They occupied its suburbs before advancing into the city. During the years of occupation from 2012 to 2016, these groups dismantled Aleppo's industrial infrastructure, smuggling entire factories into Turkey. In 2014, I personally witnessed the devastation in one of Aleppo's industrial zones. The terrorists also imposed a brutal siege on the city's western neighbourhoods, cutting off food, medicine, and even essentials for newborns. Their actions caused immense suffering, leaving families like mine to endure starvation and daily shelling. Funerals became a routine occurrence, as mortars, sniper fire, and "hell cannons" claimed countless lives. In 2016, the tide turned. The Syrian Army, supported by the Russian Air Force, Hezbollah, and Iranian commanders, broke the siege and liberated Aleppo. However, Western media portrayed this liberation as an “occupation by Assad’s militias” and framed the defeat of the extremist rebels as a loss for "democratic forces." Such narratives ignored the realities on the ground and the genuine relief felt by Aleppo’s people. After the city’s liberation, reconstruction efforts began, and Aleppo experienced a period of peace. However, new threats have emerged. On November 27, militants in Idlib launched a massive offensive against western Aleppo, coinciding with a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. The timing of the attack, just hours after Netanyahu’s warning to Assad about “playing with fire” for supporting Palestinian and Lebanese armed struggle, suggests a broader geopolitical strategy at play. The goal of this offensive appears to be twofold: to overstretch Syrian forces geographically and pave the way for a potential Israeli incursion from the Golan Heights. In recent weeks, Israel has fortified its positions along the Syrian border, installing surveillance technology and mobilizing troops and tanks. While an outright invasion is uncertain, the pressure on Assad is clear. The demands are familiar: distance Syria from Iran, abandon Hezbollah, align with “moderate Arab” states, and normalize relations with Israel. Despite these challenges, one thing remains certain: Aleppo will not fall again. The resilience of its people and the strength of its defenders ensure that the city will withstand whatever comes next. Aleppo's history is one of survival, and its future will be no different.

A new DeFi era needs a return to fundamental primitives. Announcing Soul Public Sale! DeFi is entering a new era, led by protocols that bring real innovation, but to live up to its full potential, it needs to re-embrace its founding ethos with broad distribution and fair allocation. Soul is part of this: a 0-to-1 DeFi primitive that reimagines and unites crypto lending, built to unlock a new category of opportunities for users and enabling new DeFi economies led by increased efficiency and new on-chain dynamics. The launch of our Testnet has been a significant initial milestone in our journey, and we are beyond grateful to see such a warm welcome from our early community members! With this being just the first step of a long path ahead, we are excited to announce another significant milestone we are gearing up towards. Introducing the $SO Token Fair Public Round on May 16th! As a fully decentralized protocol, our goal is not to lead a community, but to lead together with the community! We are big believers that a united goal to create a change in the world will bring the strongest foundations for long-term success. We are excited to share with you that Soul successfully raised $4M in a private round from valuable partners such as X Ventures, TPCº, and Runtime Vеrification alongside angels from Coinbase 🛡️, LayerZero, Flowdesk, and . This was an important step to support the early development of the protocol and bring the initial vision to life. However, we believe that the true value of Soul should be established transparently, through broad community participation, rather than being set by private market dynamics. To support this, we are introducing the Fair Public Round for the $SO Token. A process designed to ensure equal access, fair valuation, and eliminate preferential terms for early participants. // The problem Over the past few years, a familiar pattern has emerged across the crypto sector. Projects often raise substantial capital through private rounds, securing early valuations and preferential terms for a limited group of participants. When a public round is eventually offered, it typically comes at a significantly higher valuation, offering fewer opportunities and limited upside for retail investors. This approach creates a fundamental imbalance, restricting participation and disconnecting value creation from important groups who also contribute to a project's success: users, supporters, and builders. At Soul, we believe there is a better model, one that aligns incentives from the beginning and builds stronger foundations for long-term growth. By giving the community the opportunity to participate early and on fair terms, we enable those who contribute to Soul’s success to directly benefit from the value they help create. // A new ICO era emerges An era in which initial valuations are not decided around a table of early private participants, but by the open and public participation itself. In 2017–2018, we witnessed one of the most dynamic periods in crypto history: the ICO era. A time when anyone, anywhere in the world, could participate meaningfully in the early growth of projects they believed in. Access was open, participation was broad, and innovation was funded directly by the community. Over time, however, that spirit of openness faded. The rise of private rounds and exclusive allocations shifted the landscape toward more traditional fundraising models, limiting access and weakening the connection between projects and their communities. We believe it's time to restore that original spirit, to rebuild a model where openness, fairness, and community participation are at the core of crypto startup innovation. // Pushing for an ICO 2.0 Era At Soul, we are committed to building a foundation that prioritizes fair participation and long-term alignment. 25% of the total token supply will be allocated to the community through this Public Round, establishing the basis for strong, decentralized governance as the protocol launches. Soul’s valuation will be determined upon the conclusion of the Public Sale, based solely on the capital raised during the round. We are equally committed to avoiding the common pitfalls of low circulating supply and artificially high FDV. All tokens offered in the public round will be fully unlocked at TGE, allowing for a transparent, market-driven valuation from the outset. // $SO Utility The $SO token is an essential component of the Soul Protocol, designed to drive governance, gauge voting, yield boosting, and value sharing. Rather than existing as a speculative asset, $SO is structured to reward participation, align incentives across stakeholders, and strengthen long-term protocol sustainability. Its utility is directly tied to protocol adoption and engagement, ensuring that value creation flows to those who contribute meaningfully to the protocol. Soul rejects short-term incentive models such as liquidity mining, which often generate unsustainable growth. Instead, prioritizes product-driven revenue and long-term value accrual, distributing rewards to $SO stakers and active participants in proportion to their contributions. Governance & Emissions Control $SO is the governance token of the Soul Protocol, enabling holders to participate in critical decision-making processes. Through governance proposals and emission gauge voting, $SO holders directly influence the allocation of incentives across Soul’s integrated Money Markets, ensuring that ecosystem growth is aligned with stakeholder interests. Boosted Yields Through Staking Staking $SO enhances users' lending positions by granting access to additional yield opportunities on top of base APYs. This mechanism directly links token utility to core protocol activity, ensuring that demand for $SO is driven by real usage rather than speculative behavior. Revenue Sharing & Buyback Mechanism The protocol’s fee switch will direct a portion of collected revenue to purchase $SO tokens from the open market, which will then be redistributed to stakers through emissions and reward mechanisms. This model will directly link protocol revenue to tokenholder rewards, ensuring that $SO ownership is economically tied to the protocol’s activity and long-term growth.

When I interviewed veteran commercial real estate (CRE) investor Anthony Dilweg, I expected him to say that the bearish headlines about CRE & office were overblown. Instead, he said the headlines weren't bearish enough, & made an analogy to the Titanic hitting the iceberg🚢 This shocking conversation, nearly two hours long, is now released in full. Here are some of the key claims from Dilweg (who in a former life played quarterback for the Green Bay Packers 🏈) on how he is viewing the CRE world: - The huge challenges CRE & office will have to contend with are WORSE than what CRE faced during the 2008 Great Financial Crisis - Office as an asset class is "structurally broken" as remote and hybrid work has caused demand to tank - As vacancy rates skyrocket, over a billion square feet of office asset class (20% of the asset class in the U.S.) will be obsolete over next 3-5 years - "Return to office" trend is vastly overstated. The CEOs may say Monday - Friday is stern policy but utilization rates reveal Tuesday-Thursday is the de facto norm - Banks are "completely overwhelmed" as CRE investors use threat of strategic default (i.e. turning keys back) to aggressively renegotiate their loans. Banks must contend with forbearance, restructuring, and extreme reduction in loan yields (350 basis point declines in loan yields are not unheard of) - The claim that impairments to office as an asset class are just in major cities (NYC, San Francisco, LA) is an overrated narrative. I say to Dilweg (whose 5.5 million square footage portfolio is located in Southeast U.S.) "so you are not quite in the eye of the storm" (I like to support my guests) and he corrects me and says "No, I am." - If Fed doesn't drastically cut rates, there will be tremendous pain felt throughout the entire CRE industry - Some banks are "behaving in an interesting way" and Dilweg speculates that FDIC & OCC might still be operating behind the scenes to prevent more bank failures - Private credit is on the margin replacing some bank financing, but terms are "very punitive" As usual, this interview is available on Forward Guidance podcast and on " Macro" YouTube channel Lastly, a big thank you to MetaMask 🦊 Portfolio for sponsoring today's episode Enjoy! 🔥

Behind The Scenes In The Vegas Loop: Inside Elon Musk's The Boring Company Bold Bet On Urban Mobility Hey everyone. Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (Tesla Owners Silicon Valley) here. I recently had the chance to go behind the scenes with Steve Davis, President of The Boring Company, for a deep dive into the Vegas Loop in Las Vegas. This wasn’t a quick photo op. It was a full 47-minute immersion: riding through the LED-lit tunnels in a Tesla, visiting active construction sites with Prufrock boring machines, and hearing directly from Steve about what’s working today, and what’s coming next. I’m posting the full long-form video alongside this recap so you can experience it firsthand. But here’s the readable, “what actually matters” story from the tour. From “Traffic Is Soul-Crushing” To A Working Underground Network The Boring Company was founded in 2016, born of a familiar frustration: gridlocked cities that can’t build fast enough, cheap enough, or with minimal disruption. The premise is simple but ambitious: reinvent tunneling to make it practical infrastructure, not a decade-long mega-project. Las Vegas is where that idea is being tested at real scale. Instead of waiting for buses, shuttles, or rail schedules, the Vegas Loop aims to provide point-to-point trips in Teslas, fast, quiet, and emissions-free, connecting major destinations without the chaos of the Strip above. And after seeing it up close, what stands out most is how operational it already is. This isn’t a render. It’s a functioning system handling real demand, in real conditions, with real riders. What It Feels Like: Fast, Weirdly Fun, And Surprisingly Smooth The “Loop experience” is part transit, part sci-fi. The tunnels are lined with shifting LEDs—purples, greens, yellows—that make the ride feel more like entering a venue than commuting. Trips are short and direct. One example Steve shared: LVCC to Encore in about 85 seconds. But the biggest “wait, that just happened” moment on the tour was Full Self-Driving. FSD Underground (And Onto Surface Streets) We rode in a Model Y running Full Self-Driving (Supervised), which navigated the tunnels smoothly and then transitioned back to surface streets without intervention. Steve’s point wasn’t that autonomy is a cool demo; it’s that autonomy is a force multiplier for throughput, consistency, and future scale. Steve Davis: “Full Self-Driving Supervised is live commercially between LVCC and Encore, watch this: zero interventions as it navigates the tunnels and pops out onto surface streets seamlessly.” Right now, they still operate with safety drivers, but the trajectory is clear: as autonomy matures, the system can move more people with tighter headways and less variability than human-driven operations. The Numbers: “Spiky Demand” Is Where This System Wants To Win Vegas isn’t a steady-demand commuter city. It’s a burst-demand city: conventions, games, concerts, and tourist surges. Steve emphasized that this is exactly where the Loop model shines, because you can scale vehicles dynamically without rebuilding an entire transit line. During CES 2026, the Loop moved 90,000+ passengers, peaking at 6,600+ riders per hour, including 22,000+ trips to/from Resorts World, Encore, and Westgate. That’s on top of 3.5M+ total passengers since 2021. Steve Davis: “We’ve hit over 3 million passengers since 2021, and during CES 2026 alone, we shuttled more than 90,000 people, peaking at 6,600 passengers per hour without a hitch.” And beyond the numbers, there’s a secondary effect people don’t always talk about: for many riders, this is their first time in a Tesla, and it’s an unusually positive first impression. The Airport Connection: A Phased Plan With A Very Clear Endgame Connecting the system to Harry Reid International Airport is the crown jewel, and they’re doing it in phases to deliver value quickly while they work through the harder parts. Phase 1 (Live Now) Limited airport rides are already operating via a mix of tunnels and surface streets from existing stations, including Resorts World, Encore, Westgate, and LVCC. They’re doing roughly 50 test rides per day, and Steve noted 100 of ~130 vehicles are already “airport-ready” with transponders. Phase 2 (Next Couple Months) This is where things get meaningfully faster: a 2.2-mile dual tunnel from Westgate to 4744 Paradise Road, eliminating about two miles of surface traffic and stoplights. New stations are planned at Virgin Hotels, The Boring Company’s apartment complex, the former Gordon Biersch site, and Firefly. Fleet expands to 160 vehicles. Steve Davis: “Phase 2 kicks in soon: a 2.2-mile tunnel to Paradise Road, cutting out those surface miles and stoplights.” Phase 3 Extend to 5032 Palo Verde Road near Terminal 1, further removing surface bottlenecks around Tropicana and University Center. Fleet scales to 250–300 vehicles. Phase 4 (The “Holy Grail”) A direct underground station at the terminals, true curb-to-gate simplicity, fully underground. Steve Davis: “Phase 4 is the holy grail: a direct underground station right at the airport terminals.” The Big Build: 68 Miles, 104 Stations, Privately Funded The long-term vision is expansive: 68 miles of tunnels and 104 stations spanning the Strip, downtown, the stadium, and the airport. Core Strip construction begins this fall, with a 2027 target for that major phase, and further expansion into 2028–2029. Steve emphasized something important here: the funding model. These builds are privately funded, and the cost structure is the entire point: build rapidly and avoid “subway economics.” Steve Davis: “68 miles, 104 stations… all privately funded at about $10M per mile, versus billions for subways.” The Real Workhorses: Prufrock Boring Machines Up Close If the Loop is the user experience, Prufrock is the engine underneath it. Seeing Prufrock at an active dig site is hard to describe unless you’ve stood next to one. It’s enormous, loud, and relentlessly practical. The key advantage is that it changes the setup cost: it can launch from the surface without massive open pits, and it’s designed to move fast, with a long-term target of one mile per week. The machine isn’t just digging; it’s built around an integrated approach to lining, pumping, and maintaining the tunnel environment while staying cost-effective. Challenges They’re Solving In Real Time: Groundwater And Permitting One of the most interesting “myth-busting” moments was hearing Steve talk about tunnel conditions. Despite the desert setting, the tunnels are roughly 30 feet below grade, and in many areas, they’re fully submerged in groundwater, sand, clay, caliche, and water management, all part of the daily reality. Steve Davis: “Tunnels are 30 feet down, fully submerged in groundwater, desert myth busted.” They manage leaks through periodic sealing (foam, maintenance cycles) and now operate with stronger compliance processes for water treatment and disposal. The bigger long-term bottleneck, though, isn’t engineering; it’s approvals. Steve noted they need hundreds of permits (600+), and many can take months. Their push is toward a more streamlined, operator-style approval model, closer to how SpaceX is regulated: certify capability and safety, then execute without rearguing every step. Steve Davis: “Permitting’s the bottleneck… we’re advocating for a SpaceX-style operator license.” Fleet Scaling And The “Robovan” Strategy Right now, the fleet is about 130 Teslas, including Model Ys and Cybertrucks, tuned for tight turns and repeated high-frequency operations. The larger goal is to scale up to 1,200 vehicles as the network grows. And that’s where Robovan (high-occupancy, event-optimized vehicles) becomes strategically important. Steve’s framing was refreshingly clear: cars are more efficient for small groups. Robovans win when you can predict surges, like a Raiders game or a Sphere show, and load high-occupancy vehicles in advance. Steve Davis: “Robovans shine when everyone’s going to the same spot… that’s when you put the high occupancy vehicle in.” What’s Next: Suburbs, Regional Links, And Bigger Swing Ideas After the core network is built, they’re looking at suburban expansions (Henderson, Summerlin) via shorter demo segments first, proving utility for pedestrian and vehicle connectivity. And then Steve hinted at the kind of long-range thinking that gets people excited (and skeptical): longer-distance routes, potentially even Hyperloop concepts like Reno connections, if permitting and economics align. Steve Davis: “Suburbs like Henderson and Summerlin next… long-term? Hyperloop to Reno… private funding makes it doable if permitting catches up.” Final Take: Vegas Is Becoming A Live Testbed For A New Kind Of Transit This tour made one thing very clear: The Boring Company isn’t trying to win the “traditional public transit debate.” They’re trying to change the rules of what’s feasible, building faster, cheaper, and with an experience that people actually want to use. Watching FSD glide through the tunnels, seeing Prufrock tearing through the ground, and hearing the phased plan for the airport and Strip expansion straight from Steve… It’s hard not to feel like Vegas is a real-world preview of what mobility can look like when infrastructure is built like technology. Huge thanks to Steve Davis and The Boring Company team for the access and the time. And keep an eye out, I’m posting the full 47-minute video with this recap so you can see the ride, the sites, and the details for yourself. What do you think, would you ride the Loop instead of sitting in Strip traffic?

President Xi’s New Year Address On New Year's Eve, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered his 2026 New Year message through China Media Group and the internet. The following is the full text of the message: Greetings to all! Year after year, life opens a fresh chapter. As the new year begins, I extend my best wishes to you from Beijing! The year 2025 marks the completion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development. Over the past five years, we have pressed ahead with enterprise and fortitude, and overcome many difficulties and challenges. We met the targets in the Plan and made solid advances on the new journey of Chinese modernization. Our economic output has crossed thresholds one after another, and it is expected to reach RMB 140 trillion yuan this year. Our economic strength, scientific and technological abilities, defense capabilities, and composite national strength all reached new heights. Clear waters and lush mountains have become a salient feature of our landscape. Our people enjoy a growing sense of gain, happiness and security. The past five years have been a truly remarkable journey, and our accomplishments have not come easily. Your unwavering hard work has made our nation thrive and prosper. I salute you all for your exceptional diligence and invaluable contributions. This year is full of indelible memories. We solemnly commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and established the Taiwan Recovery Day. These grand national events were majestic and powerful, and the glory of victory will shine through the pages of history. They are inspiring all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to remember history, honor fallen heroes, cherish peace, and create a better future. They are rallying a mighty force for the great rejuvenation of our nation. We sought to energize high-quality development through innovation. We integrated science and technology deeply with industries, and made a stream of new innovations. Many large AI models have been competing in a race to the top, and breakthroughs have been achieved in the research and development of our own chips. All this has turned China into one of the economies with the fastest growing innovation capabilities. The Tianwen-2 probe began its star-chasing journey to explore asteroids and comets. Construction of the hydropower project at the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River started. China's first aircraft carrier equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system was officially commissioned. Humanoid robots did kung fu kicks, and drones performed spectacular light shows. Inventions and innovations have boosted new quality productive forces and added colorful dimensions to our lives. We endeavored to nurture our spiritual home with cultural development. There was a surging public interest in cultural relics, museums, and intangible cultural heritage. A new Chinese cultural site was added to the World Heritage List. Cultural IPs such as Wukong and Nezha became global hits. The younger generation came to deem classic Chinese culture as the finest form of aesthetic expression. The cultural and tourism sectors thrived. The "super league" football games in our cities and villages attracted numerous fans. Ice and snow sports ignited people's passion for the winter season. Tradition is now embracing modernity, and the Chinese culture is shining in even greater splendor. We joined hands to build a better life and enjoyed it together. I attended celebrations in Xizang and Xinjiang. From the snow-covered plateau to both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, people of various ethnic groups are united as one, like seeds of a pomegranate sticking together. With white khatas and passionate singing and dancing, they expressed their love of the motherland and the happiness they enjoy. No issue of the people is too small; we care for every leaf and tend every branch in the garden of people's well-being. Over the past year, the rights and interests of the workforce in new forms of employment have been better protected, facilities have been upgraded to bring more convenience to the elderly, and each family with childcare needs has received a subsidy of RMB 300 yuan per month. When the happy hum of daily life fills every home, the big family of our nation will go from strength to strength. We continued to embrace the world with open arms. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin and the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women were very successful; and island-wide special customs operations were launched in the Hainan Free Trade Port. To better address climate change, China announced new Nationally Determined Contributions. After announcing the three global initiatives on development, security, and civilization, I put forward the Global Governance Initiative to promote a more just and equitable global governance system. The world today is undergoing both changes and turbulence, and some regions are still engulfed in war. China always stands on the right side of history, and is ready to work with all countries to advance world peace and development and build a community with a shared future for humanity. Not long ago, I attended the opening ceremony of the National Games, and I was glad to see Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao coming together in unity and acting in unison. We should unswervingly implement the policy of One Country, Two Systems, and support Hong Kong and Macao in better integrating into the overall development of our country and maintaining long-term prosperity and stability. We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share a bond of blood and kinship. The reunification of our motherland, a trend of the times, is unstoppable! Only a strong Communist Party of China can make our country strong. We launched the study and education program on fully implementing the central Party leadership's eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct. We exercised strict governance of the Party through credible measures, and promoted the Party's self-revolution to fight corruption and advance healthy governance. As a result, the conduct of our Party and government steadily improved. We must stay true to our original aspiration and founding mission, and pursue our goal with perseverance and dedication. We should continue to give a good answer to the question on how to maintain long-term governance put forth in a cave dwelling in Yan'an and prove ourselves worthy of the people's expectation in the new era. The year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan. A successful venture should start with a good plan and with clear goals set. We should focus on our goals and tasks, boost confidence, and build momentum to press ahead. We should take solid steps to promote high-quality development, further deepen reform and opening up across the board, deliver prosperity for all, and write a new chapter in the story of China's miracle. The dream lofty, the journey long-bold strides will get us there. Let us charge ahead like horses with courage, vitality, and energy, fight for our dreams and our happiness, and turn our great vision into beautiful realities. The sun of the new year will soon rise. May our great motherland stand in magnificence! May the fields across the country deliver good harvest! May our nation bathe in the glory of the morning! May you all enjoy life to the fullest, and achieve every success! May all your dreams come true!

In the future, Islam will obliterate Christianity in the USA, Europe, and in the Indian subcontinent (where between 30-50 million Christians live), just as it has eradicated Christianity and Judaism in the Middle East and eliminated parts of Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent over the last 1,400 years since its establishment. - This is one of the tactics that Islam uses to take over the world: Quran 4.100 “Whoever emigrates for the sake of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoever forsakes his home, a refugee for Allah and his messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward is then obligatory upon Allah. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.” *Here the Qur’an states the cardinal importance of “emigration for the cause of Allah,” that is, moving to a new land with the intention of bringing Islam to it. See also 4:66 and 4:89. The primary pattern for emigrants in Islamic tradition is the Hijra, Muhammad’s move from Mecca to Medina, where for the first time he became a political and military leader. It is “obligatory” for Allah to reward emigrants; this is one of the Qur’an’s few promises of reward for specific actions (see also 9:111). Continue to welcome Islam into the Western world with open arms and friendship. Continue to respect Islam, and eventually, it will do to you what Muhammad did in the 7th century to those who welcomed him in the city of Medina. He completely destroyed the host culture. Quran 9.5: “...kill the Mushrikun (non-Muslims) wherever you find them…" Al-Bukhari: "To wage war against Allah means to reject faith in Him." From Quran 2.191: "The sin of disbelief in Allah is greater than committing murder". - Note: This has never changed; Islam continues to operate continuously, in an organized and systematic manner, through Da'wa, fraud, lies, and violence, in order to destroy and conquer Western culture from within. 👇👇👇 The report was written by Tom Quiggin, a member of the Terrorism and Security Experts of Canada Network (TSEC). Concurrent research at the TSEC network includes a methodology project for intelligence analysts involved in the analysis of extremism. A Horizon Scanning project on the convergence of extremist ideologies is being readied for distribution in late 2014. This project was funded internally by the TSEC network. There is no government, corporate, media or foreign money involved. KEY JUDGEMENTS: *Canada has a significant presence of Muslim Brotherhood adherent individuals and organizations. Their values and actions are frequently the antithesis of the Canadian Constitution, values and law. Despite statements to the contrary, the Muslim Brotherhood considers itself above local laws and national constitutions. *The Muslim Brotherhood’s use of settlement and the “process of civilization jihad” has proven effective. The long term aim is to globally impose a virulent form of political Islam to the exclusion of other faiths or systems. *Internationally, the Muslim Brotherhood is realigning under pressure as old alliances crumble and opportunities arise. An aggressive posture is reemerging which has used extensive political violence in the past. *The policy and process of denial is deeply rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood. *Muslim Brotherhood adherent groups should not be given governmental accreditation, access to public grants nor should they have charity status. *Canada’s stance against Muslim Brotherhood adherent organizations in recent years has been more aggressive than the USA, especially in financial areas. 1. Overview: Settlement and the Civilization-Jihadist Process: The Muslim Brotherhood represents a greater existential and systemic threat to North American civilization and society than violent extremist movements such as Al Qaeda. The Muslim Brotherhood, self-described by its founder Hassan Banna as a Salafist group, has been entrenching itself in North American since the late 1950s and early 1960s using the process of ‘settlement,’ multiple front organizations and persistent denials. They describe this as a process of civilization jihad. The aim of the group in North America is to weaken and destroy the free and open societies within Canada and the USA from within and replace them with the heavily politicized views of Hassan Banna, Sayyid Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is consistent with the global aims of the group. This should be of concern as a period of relative moderation has come to an end and the Muslim Brotherhood is becoming increasingly aggressive in its actions. The Muslim Brotherhood began as a social movement and it still has an extensive program of education and outreach. Dawah (da’wa, da’wah or dawa) and religious education lie at the heart of the Muslim Brotherhood program. Dawah can be defined as calling or the practice or policy of conveying the message of Islam to non-Muslims. Within the context of the Muslim Brotherhood, it takes on a more ominous tone as dawah is not just the practice of outreach, but it is one of the principal missions of the Muslim Brotherhood as a whole. And by dawah, they appear to include the message of Islam, but the message of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Banna as is evidenced by the constant references to his life and writings. Dawah in the Muslim Brotherhood is not just outreach, rather it is an alternative form of conquering a society. Ikhwan Web, the official English language website of the Muslim Brotherhood makes this clear: The MB shall never forget religious education and Dawah, as they are the essence of its existence. In the North American context, Zeid Noman made it clear that in the early stages of development of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America, dawah was an integral factor. This was the first true tremor for the Ikhwan's activism here in America as these brothers started to demand clearer Ikhwan formulas, clearer commitment and means or ones with a specific and not a general nature and that there are conditions to accept one into the ranks of this Dawa'a and to make work secret. …Some of them came for work and know that this life is a farm for the afterlife and he sacrifices what he has for the sake of. .., for the sake of this Dawa'a. ….Therefore, we had to take two simultaneous moves and with two harmonious wings: The first one is the reality or now attempt to implement the needs of the reality which is what the students' movement needs and that we also work hard to settle the Dawa'a. By "settlement of the Dawa'a", the Muslim Brotherhood Dawa'a is meant. It is not meant to spread Islam as spread of Islam is a general thing and it is indeed a goal for each Muslim in general terms. The second thing is the settlement of the Dawa'a and finding permanent fundamentals in the cities where Ikhwans now live in order to ...er, in order for them to be the meeting points for the coming brothers. (Emphasis added) In a 1995 speech in Ohio, Yussef Qaradawi, a lifelong adherent of the Muslim Brotherhood movement and one of its key intellectual inspirational figures stated that: Conquest through dawah, that is what we hope for….We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America, not through the sword but through dawah. In 2007, some 12 years later, Qaradawi made it clear that his views had not changed: The peaceful conquest has foundations in this religion, and therefore, I expect that Islam will conquer Europe without resorting to the sword or fighting. It will do so by means of da’wa and ideology. Europe is miserable with materialism, with the philosophy of promiscuity, and with the immoral considerations that rule the world “considerations of self-interest and self-indulgence. Despite the claims of conquest only through dawah, the Muslim Brotherhood has committed a series of assassinations and bombings in the name of the group. This includes the assassination of a judge in Egypt (Ahmed El-Khazindar Bey, Senior Judge, Egyptian Court of Appeal) in 194816 as well as the attempted assassination of President Nasser in 1954. The Syrian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood was engaged in a violent campaign from 1976 to 1982 which included a 1979 attack against students at the military academy in Aleppo. Most of the students killed were from the leadership Alawite group and the victims were largely the sons of various regime officials. The campaign ended with a brutal government massacre of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in the town of Hama. Currently, the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood (HAMAS) remains committed to violence and has worked against peace efforts such as the Oslo Accords. In addition to Dawah, another feature of the Muslim Brotherhood is the concept of the Islamization of Knowledge, conceptualized in part by former Montreal resident Dr. Ismail Faruqi. In his book Islamization of Knowledge: General Principles and Work Plan, Dr. Faruqi argues that there was a need to: …recast the whole legacy of human knowledge from the stand point of Islam. He presented 12 workplan aims to produce university level textbooks recasting some twenty disciplines in accordance to the Islamic vision because of the backward and lowly contemporary position of the ummah in all fields, political, economic, and religio-cultural. While presenting itself as a voice of moderation, the Muslim Brotherhood is an adherent of an 85+ year old policy of establishing the Brotherhood’s brand of Islam as the global faith at the exclusion of all other religions and secular forms of organization. Other Muslim groups that do not adhere are subjected to scorn and abuse. The Muslim Brotherhood has wavered on the use of violence, sometimes presenting itself as a political movement that expels those who use violence. On other occasions it does military training at local camps and uses assassinations and bombings. Foreign funding and foreign organizational assistance have been the hallmarks of many of the adherent charities and organizations. In 1991, the Muslim Brotherhood in North America issued An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America (5/22/1991).” The document was presented by Mohamed Akram (A.K.A. Mohammad Akram Al-Adlouni) who is now the Secretary General of al-Quds International located in Lebanon. The chairman of the board of trustees is identified as Qatar based28 Youssef Qaradawi. According to Akram, it was the result of five years of policy review work which was proceeded by some 20 years of organizational activity. It was finally approved their Shura Council. In section 4 of the 1991 Explanatory Memorandum, which is subtitled Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America, the document points out that: The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions. It is not an analytically acceptable practice to take one data point, such as the above, and then assess that the organization is always committed to this goal. To be clear, however, a remarkable degree of consistency of beliefs and goals exists across a range of Muslim Brotherhood organizations – both temporally and geographically. The most recent examples mimic those of a more violent past. The phase of moving away from violence appears to be ending/has ended and the organisation as a whole is becoming more aggressive and expresses an inflexible approach with violent overtones. In 2010 the Muslim Brotherhood’s General Guide Mohamed Badie claimed that the “Muslim and Arab Regimes are Disregarding Allah's Commandment to Wage Jihad" and that change can occur by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life. He notes that resistance is the only solution. These comments appear similar to those of Salah Sultan of Ohio (ISNA, Fiqh Council , MAS) who says that America will suffer economic stagnation, ruin, destruction and crime which will surpass what is happening in Gaza. He also noted that the US will suffer more deaths than all of those killed in the third Gaza holocaust and that it will happen soon. Both of these statements by influential Muslim Brotherhood leaders appear as informal declarations of war, similar to those of al Qaeda in 1996 and 1998. Egyptian President (2012-2013) and Muslim Brotherhood member Mohammed Morsi’s attempted project to ‘Brotherhoodize’ Egypt (The Nahda or Renaissance Project) was a sign of recent intentions. By granting himself near dictatorial powers38 followed by his attacks on the press/TV and the judiciary, he demonstrated that he was more of a servant of the Muslim Brotherhood and Khairat alShater’s Nahda Project43 than he was the leader of Egypt. Al-Shater had envisaged the Nahda Project as instituting “the religion of God; the Islamization of life, empowering of God’s religion.” Ironically, Dr. Morsi was recruited into the Muslim Brotherhood while studying in North America (PhD, USC, 1992). He graduated the year after the 1991 General Memorandum outlined the role of civilization-jihadist project in North America. Read more:
