🚨BREAKING: The beta test of Blender Cycles on The Render Network is going great!! With $RENDER, a rendering job by Omid Pakbin took less than 10 minutes instead of 28 hours!! This is the largest #AI / #GPU integration ever seen in the crypto space. No one will ever come close to $RENDER and here's why ✍️ With Blender 🔶 Cycles integrated on the Render Network, millions of artists from the leading open source 3D ecosystem can harness near unlimited high performance decentralized GPU cloud rendering power on Render. The tasks performed by the millions of Blender users require heavy GPU demands. These tasks will result in many $RENDER tokens being burned, as the burning mechanism is tied 1:1 to the GPU usage of the The Render Network There is literally no #AI altcoin that has the partnerships or real utility that $RENDER provides. Forget "The next $RENDER". Once this integration goes fully live, the burning numbers of $RENDER will explode and you will see the biggest fomo ever seen in crypto.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE — Tucker's War on Truth now disputes the central Jewish connection to Jerusalem. Tucker Carlson claimed the Kotel, or Western Wall, is merely "believed by some to be a remnant of the Second Temple." It's an odious myth designed to separate Jews from the holiest site in Judaism — and its origins are recent, peddled by the godfather of Palestinian terrorism, Yasser Arafat. And it is a breathtaking level of denialism, precisely because it is so mendacious. There is overwhelming historical and archeological evidence that the Kotel survived from the Second Temple. Simply put, no one serious or credible doubts that the Kotel (Western Wall or Wailing Wall) in what is now the Old City of Jerusalem is the retaining wall of the Temple Mount complex from the time of the Second Temple. Yet Tucker labels it as nothing more than a "claim." Even a century ago, Muslim leaders in Jerusalem in 1925 said its "sanctity" was "beyond dispute" because of it had survived from the Temple. It is only recently that some Palestinians have decided to become, for lack of a better term, Temple Truthers. In 2015, for example, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Muhammad Ahmad Hussein bizarrely claimed that there was never any Jewish holy site at the Temple Mount. Hussein, though, was merely echoing Yasser Arafat, who rejected the 2000 Camp David proposal for a Palestinian state on the grounds that there had never been a Jewish holy site at the Temple Mount. Fast forward 15 years later, and the Grand Mufti declared that the site was an "Islamic mosque since the world was created." It's an odd claim given that Islam only dates back to the 7th Century. So why do we know that Temple Truthers are unequivocally wrong? Evidence. Staggering amounts of evidence, in fact. For starters, the Kotel matches the description of famous 1st century historian Josephus — with whom Tucker is quite familiar, having discussed his work during previous interviews. Josephus detailed Herod's expansion from that era, including the exact type of retaining wall matching the Kotel. He even listed measurements for the stones used — which also match the measurements of the stones at the Kotel. Then there's the texture and style of the stones comprising the Kotel. They match the stones from the Herodian era found elsewhere in Jerusalem — which stopped being used shortly afterwards, following the Roman destruction of the city. Most important, though, is what has been found in archeological excavations. Archeologists have unearthed more than three dozens of mikva'ot, or ritual Jewish baths, just outside the perimeter of the Temple Mount complex. Jewish pilgrims, in accordance with Jewish law, would ritually cleanse themselves in mikva'ot before entering the Temple Mount. There are many more such examples of archeological evidence, but here's one more. Two stones were uncovered with inscriptions that match those described by Josephus as having been placed just outside the Temple. In short, the evidence confirming that the Kotel or Western Wall has survived from the Second Temple era is incontrovertible. So much so, in fact, that Temple Truthers are on a par with Flat Earthers. Tucker Carlson, of course, knows better. But facts don't matter to him, just his singular, obsessive mission: To divide Jews from Christians, which requires him to remove Jews from their own history. That's why Tucker promotes the dangerous lie that the Jews of today aren't descended from the Jews of the Bible. And now he's trying to take from the Jews not just their history, but also the one surviving portion of the holiest site that ever existed in Jewish history. Even if that means Tucker has to ignore mountains of evidence in order to embrace a provably false Palestinian fiction.

A Roman emperor ate his meals in a sea cave, a few feet from a massive marble sculpture of the moment Odysseus blinds the Cyclops. Eventually it lay shattered in thousands of pieces on the floor of that cave, and stayed there until 1957... The emperor was Tiberius, who ruled Rome after Augustus, and the cave is at Sperlonga, on the coast between Rome and Naples. It was a natural grotto opening onto the sea, and he turned it into a private dining hall, with pools of water reaching into the mouth of the cave and a platform where he and his guests reclined to eat, the waves echoing off the rock around them... Definitely not a bad place to host dinner. The sculpture stood at the deepest point of the cave and it showed the most terrifying scene in Homer's poem, when Odysseus and his men are trapped inside the cave of Polyphemus, a one-eyed man-eating giant who has sealed them in with a boulder too heavy to move and is eating the crew alive, one by one. Odysseus cannot simply kill him in his sleep, or they will be entombed with the corpse forever. So he gets the giant drunk, waits for him to pass out, hardens the tip of an olive-wood stake in the fire, and drives it into the Cyclops's single eye. The sculptors depicted the instant just before the stake goes in... The colossal figure of Polyphemus sprawls backward, drunk and unaware. Odysseus, the one closest to the Cyclops, and three of his men strain upward with the spike. It was carved larger than life and set in shadow at the back of the grotto, so that as the lamplight shifted, the whole scene seemed to move over the emperor's dinner. The Roman historians Tacitus and Suetonius both record that in the year 26 AD, while Tiberius was dining there, rocks fell from the roof of the grotto, crushing several of his attendants and nearly killing the emperor, who was shielded and dragged out. In that collapse, or in a later one, the great marble scenes were smashed into thousands of fragments. There they lay, at the bottom of the cave, until 1957, when workers building a coastal road cut into the ground and found them. Among the rubble they pulled out the colossal head of the giant himself, and slowly, piece by piece, the scene was put back together. The cave gave up two more secrets: the first was an inscription, ten lines of Latin verse, praising the grotto and saying that only a new Virgil could do justice to its statues of Scylla and the blinding of the monster by the man from Ithaca. It told the archaeologists exactly what they had found. The second was carved into the base of the neighbouring ship: three names, Athenodoros, Agesander, and Polydorus, the same sculptors the Roman writer Pliny had named as the creators of the Laocoön, the statue I wrote about yesterday. Homer's Odyssey is one of the oldest stories in the world, and it has outlived the emperor, the civilization that first told it, and every person who has ever loved it. Nearly three thousand years later, we are still telling the story of a man lost far from home, because some part of us always is... I started my newsletter because the past is full of stories like this one, and so few people ever stop to tell us why they matter. Every week I try to. If that is something you'd like to be part of, you can join through the link in my bio, and if you'd like to support my work, a paid subscription is what makes it possible. Thanks for reading.

🚨BREAKING: An Apocalyptic SCENE Is Unfolding In Tel Aviv—Millions Of CROWS are Swarming The Skies🧐 A dark cloud of birds is currently circling the city in numbers that defy explanation. The footage is chilling, and for those who know scripture, this is not just a strange natural event—it's an ominous sign of things to come. The Bible is filled with prophecies about the end times, and birds of prey, including crows, are often used as symbols of judgment, desolation, and divine retribution. One of the most direct references comes from the book of Jeremiah, a prophet of judgment, who declares: "I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of what Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem. I will deliver them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their lives, and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth." (Jeremiah -20, ESV) This isn't just about death; it's about a public judgment, where the bodies of the unfaithful are left as a feast for scavengers like crows. Another powerful vision comes from the prophet Hosea, who warns of the consequences of breaking a covenant with God: "I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs; I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rip them open. I will destroy you, O Israel; who can help you? Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities? Where are all your rulers—those of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?... The wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices." (Hosea 13:8, 10, 15, ESV) While this passage uses a bear and lion, the imagery of divine judgment and shame is clear. In Revelation, the ultimate book of end-times prophecy, we see a final, devastating judgment where "all the birds that fly across the heavens" are called to a "great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men" (Revelation -18). Crows, as unclean scavengers, fit perfectly into this apocalyptic feast. This swarm over Tel Aviv is a modern-day signpost pointing to these ancient prophecies. It's a visual representation of judgment looming over a city. Some may call it a migration, but for believers, it's a spiritual weather report. The warnings are in the sky. Is this a sign from above, or just a bizarre natural event? Drop your interpretation below. 👇 From: إسحاق حمومي | יצחק אל-חמומי 🇮🇱

“One of the most complicated hostage rescue missions in history.” The operation to rescue the hostages from Nusayrat was named "Summer Seeds" and is defined by the IDF as one of the most complex ever for hostage rescue. The hostages were held in a heavily civilian populated area, above ground, in buildings of 3-4 stories. The forces stormed the two separate targets where the hostages were held, with Noa held on the first floor and Andrey, Shlomi, and Almog on the third floor of another building, hundreds of meters apart. Hamas moved the four hostages from apartment to apartment, and the concern was that if the forces only stormed one building, the terrorists would escape with the hostages in the second building. The Air Force gathered intelligence from the air in the last few days, and the IDF and Shin Bet created conditions to reach the targets without the terrorists shooting the hostages first, which was key to the operation's success. The models built by the Yamam (Israel's counter-terrorism unit) reminded senior military officials of the models established for the Entebbe operation, with buildings, streets, and small areas for practice. The main problem was in the apartment where Andrey, Almog, and Shlomi were held, and where Yamam fighter Arnon Zamora was killed. The rescue took place under heavy fire, and during the disengagement, dozens of terrorists with RPGs and machine guns ran through the alleys towards the targets. As a result, uninvolved Gazan civilians were also killed in the dense fire exchange. The military said, "The difference between success and failure in such an operation is a hair's breadth, and we relied on exceptional technology from the Intelligence and Shin Bet. Without ground activity and maneuvering in the Gazan area, it would not have been possible to succeed in such operations." The IDF also noted that the rescue was made possible by Commander Zamora's heroism. "Shin Bet and Intelligence Directorate fighters entered the lion's den in the refugee camp and dismantled houses in areas where we hadn't maneuvered," they said. "This is bravery on the level of Judah Maccabee. The operation was planned for weeks with drills, rescue plans, and fires executed, alongside scenarios of cases and responses." The forces simultaneously broke into the two houses with special weapons developed for the operation. Immediately after extracting the hostages, the forces began to withdraw while fighting dozens of terrorists, but a vehicle with the three hostages got stuck and came under heavy fire. Division 98 forces jumped in to assist in the vehicle rescue battle, and rescue helicopters entered deep into the strip in daylight. Three brigades participated in the rescue battle, during which Zamora was also evacuated to the hospital: Brigade 7, Paratroopers, and Kfir with Flotilla 13, along with other special forces. "The fire plan that was executed was focused but extremely powerful," the IDF added. "The cooperation with Shin Bet and Yamam rose to several levels into a single operational system, under the direction of the Shin Bet chief and the Chief of Staff. Four keys to the operation: deception, surprise, determination, and power." To maintain the secrecy of the operation, thousands of soldiers in the brigades that participated in the rescue were unaware of the nature of the operation before it happened to preserve the element of surprise. Only a handful of commanders were exposed to the operation yesterday, at various levels. These forces were positioned at the correct launch points without revealing the secret. During the operation, soldiers were also lightly injured, mainly from shrapnel.

Madain Saleh, also known as Al-Hijr, is a pre-Islamic archaeological site located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Middle East and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008. Madain Saleh is a place of great historical and cultural significance, and it is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Arabian Peninsula. Madain Saleh was the second city of the Nabataean kingdom, which was established in 2nd Century BC. The Nabataeans were an Arab tribe who were known for their expertise in carving tombs and buildings out of rock. They were also skilled in agriculture, trade, and commerce. The Nabataean kingdom was centered in Petra, which is located in modern-day Jordan. Madain Saleh served as a strategic outpost for Nabataeans, and it was an important stop on the trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean world. Archaeological site of Madain Saleh covers an area of 13 square kilometers. It is located in a remote desert region, and it is surrounded by rocky mountains and valleys. The site contains around 130 tombs, which were carved out of the sandstone cliffs. The tombs are adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, which provide insights into the culture and religion of the Nabataeans. The most famous tomb at Madain Saleh is the Qasr Al-Farid, which means "the lonely castle." This tomb is located on a hilltop and is surrounded by a large courtyard. It is the largest tomb at the site, and it is considered to be one of the finest examples of Nabataean architecture. The tomb was never completed, and it is believed that it was abandoned after the death of the Nabataean king who commissioned it. Another important tomb at Madain Saleh is the Tomb of Lihyan son of Kuza. This tomb is located in the southern part of the site and is carved into a rock cliff. It features a large entrance hall, a central chamber, and a series of smaller rooms. The tomb is decorated with intricate carvings and inscriptions, which provide insights into the religious beliefs of Nabataeans. Madain Saleh is not just a site of tombs; it also contains a number of other important structures. These include the Al-Khuraymat and Al-Sabika temples, which were used for religious ceremonies and rituals. The site also contains a number of houses, wells, and cisterns, which provide insights into the daily lives of the Nabataeans. Madain Saleh was abandoned in the 3rd Century AD, after decline of the Nabataean kingdom. The site was rediscovered in the 19th Century by the Swiss traveler Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. Since then, it has been studied by archaeologists from all over the world. The site is now managed by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage, which has carried out extensive restoration and preservation work. Madain Saleh is not just a site of historical and cultural significance; it is also a place of great natural beauty. The site is surrounded by rugged mountains and valleys, and it is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Visitors to the site can enjoy hiking and camping, as well as exploring the ancient ruins. Madain Saleh is a site of great historical and cultural significance, and it is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Arabian Peninsula. Ancient ruins at Madain Saleh provide a glimpse into the engineering and architectural skills of the Nabataeans, as well as their religious beliefs and cultural practices. However, as the site becomes an increasingly popular tourist destination, there are concerns about its preservation and the impact of tourism on the local environment. It is important that the Saudi government and local communities work together to ensure that the site is protected and that tourism is managed in a sustainable way. 🎥© Paris Verra #archaeohistories

Madain Saleh served as a strategic outpost for Nabataeans, and it was an important stop on the trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean world. Archaeological site of Madain Saleh covers an area of 13 square kilometers. It is located in a remote desert region, and it is surrounded by rocky mountains and valleys. The site contains around 130 tombs, which were carved out of the sandstone cliffs. The tombs are adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, which provide insights into the culture and religion of the Nabataeans. The most famous tomb at Madain Saleh is the Qasr Al-Farid, which means "the lonely castle." This tomb is located on a hilltop and is surrounded by a large courtyard. It is the largest tomb at the site, and it is considered to be one of the finest examples of Nabataean architecture. The tomb was never completed, and it is believed that it was abandoned after the death of the Nabataean king who commissioned it. Another important tomb at Madain Saleh is the Tomb of Lihyan son of Kuza. This tomb is located in the southern part of the site and is carved into a rock cliff. It features a large entrance hall, a central chamber, and a series of smaller rooms. The tomb is decorated with intricate carvings and inscriptions, which provide insights into the religious beliefs of Nabataeans. Madain Saleh is not just a site of tombs; it also contains a number of other important structures. These include the Al-Khuraymat and Al-Sabika temples, which were used for religious ceremonies and rituals. The site also contains a number of houses, wells, and cisterns, which provide insights into the daily lives of the Nabataeans. Madain Saleh was abandoned in the 3rd Century AD, after decline of the Nabataean kingdom. The site was rediscovered in the 19th Century by the Swiss traveler Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. Since then, it has been studied by archaeologists from all over the world. The site is now managed by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage, which has carried out extensive restoration and preservation work. Madain Saleh is not just a site of historical and cultural significance; it is also a place of great natural beauty. The site is surrounded by rugged mountains and valleys, and it is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Visitors to the site can enjoy hiking and camping, as well as exploring the ancient ruins. Madain Saleh is a site of great historical and cultural significance, and it is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Arabian Peninsula. Ancient ruins at Madain Saleh provide a glimpse into the engineering and architectural skills of the Nabataeans, as well as their religious beliefs and cultural practices. However, as the site becomes an increasingly popular tourist destination, there are concerns about its preservation and the impact of tourism on the local environment. It is important that the Saudi government and local communities work together to ensure that the site is protected and that tourism is managed in a sustainable way. 🎥© Paris Verra #archaeohistories

Today I was visiting the exceptionally beautiful Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Belgium (one of the only museums in the world that is itself listed as UNESCO World Heritage), which is one of the oldest printing shops in Europe, with the oldest surviving printing presses in the world. I stumbled upon an old 16th century atlas - written in Old French - and I was pretty amused to read their understanding of China at the time, which was surprisingly accurate, maybe even more than today's! A translation of some of the most interesting passages: - They call it "China" in French (it's now called "Chine") and they write that the locals call it "Tangis", which probably refers to the Tang dynasty but which is strange given that by the 16th century the dynasty had already ended for about 600 years - They write that to its North China is bordered by "tartares" (which I guess means Mongols) whom they describe as "very warlike people from whom it is separated by a wall made by hand" - The Chinese work ethic was already legendary: "those who live there are not at all lazy but devoted to labor and work, because it is there a shameful thing to be idle" - They share a number which must have seemed astonishing at the time: "in the city of Canton, one of the smallest in the entire country, some ten or twelve thousand ducks are eaten daily at table". And then they marvel during a good proportion of the text about the abundance of food in the country, which probably made a big impression on travelers at the time. - They write that "there are in this kingdom two hundred and forty famous cities, whose names end in this syllable FU which means a city: like Cantonfu, Panquifu: the small towns, which are in great number, end in CHEU [undoubtedly refers to "zhou"]. There are infinite villages, heavily populated, because of the continuous agriculture." - China's infrastructure and engineering capabilities were also already legendary at the time: "The city gates have entrances magnificently and marvelously well made, the streets are made level, not sloping this way or that, but following their straight line. They are so wide that ten or fifteen men on horseback can march abreast and are everywhere marked and separated by triumphal arches that marvelously ornament the cities. Portuguese say they saw in the city of Fuchco [probably Fuzhou] a tower set on forty solid marble pillars, the height of which was forty palms (masonry measure) and the width twelve: that this work is so grand, so exquisitely made, so beautiful to see, so sumptuous and so pleasing that it far surpasses all the magnificent buildings of all Europe." - Already at the time, China was very wary of safeguarding its sovereignty: ""[The Chinese] rarely or never leave their country and do not easily let foreigners enter it, especially into the interior of the province, unless they first have safe conduct from the king." - On moral and cultural habits: "They put adulterers to death. There are no brothels in the cities, all manner of prostitutes being sent to the suburbs. They celebrate their weddings at the time of the new moon and around the month of March which is their first day of the new year, and they make these celebrations, like us, very magnificently. They show themselves valiant in banquets and entertainments, in which they owe nothing to the Flemings or the Germans. They eat at tables like us in Europe, on chairs or on benches, and not on the ground as other peoples of Asia do." - On justice: "Bandits and murderers are kept in perpetual prison. Theft, which is a very odious crime, is punished by whip strokes in this manner: they put a man belly down, tie his hands behind him, striking him on the fleshy part of the legs with a whip made of reeds or canes." - On China's naval capabilities at the time: "This kingdom has an infinite number of ships, galleys and vessels of all sorts, with which they cross the seas and rivers. So much so that when they want to show through vainglory the power of their king, they are accustomed to say in a common proverb that he can make a bridge of ships joined together, which can reach and extend from China to Malacca, which is a distance of five hundred leagues and more." - On the emperor and China not being warlike (already back then): "All this region is subject to a single king, like a monarch; whom they call lord of the world and son of the sun. He holds court at Paquin [Beijing], which is a city toward Tartary. He never leaves it, except in time of war. It is said that when he makes war on the Tartars he leads an army of three hundred thousand soldiers and two hundred thousand horses, although it is also said that this nation is not very warlike. This king has under him fifteen very large provinces, which they call governments, and he alone surpasses in power all the other neighboring princes of Asia; and his annual revenues exceed all the riches of Europe. Antonio Pigafetta [the chronicler of Magellan's voyage] calls this king the most powerful of all the universal earth and says that the royal city is fortified and ramparted with seven walls, having ten thousand soldiers for the guard, and that the king commands seventy other crowns of the royal diadem [likely refering to the tributary state system]." Reading these passages, it seems that the further we've come in our ability to know China, the more obscured our vision seems to have become. These 16th century observers, working with fragments brought back by explorers, merchants and missionaries, managed to capture the essential - the industriousness, the engineering mastery, the administrative sophistication, the careful sovereignty. They approached their subject with the humility of the genuinely curious. They had no framework to force China into, no predetermined narrative to fulfill. They simply watched, counted ducks in Canton, measured city walls, and wrote it down. Their errors were errors of transmission - a dynasty name lingering centuries past its time, numbers perhaps inflated through retelling - but the spirit was one of simply describing unknown territory, not to convince anyone of anything. Today however, drowning in information, we're somehow seeing less of what's there and more of what we expect to find. Each observation must fit into existing narratives, serve predetermined conclusions, advance familiar arguments. So much so that we must ask ourselves: have we actually moved backward from those 16th chroniclers? Maybe we need to re-learn to approach China - and others in general - like those old cartographers, pen in hand, ready to be surprised? What might we discover if we stopped explaining and started counting ducks again?

🚨🔥🇷🇸 SERBIA ON EDGE: NOVI PAZAR BLOCKED 🕌⚠️ PROTEST🔥🚨 Protests erupt in Sandžak as university dispute exposes deep cracks inside the state Novi Pazar was effectively brought to a standstill as students and citizens blocked Stefana Nemanje Street, escalating a conflict surrounding the State University of Novi Pazar into one of the most sensitive internal crises Serbia has faced in recent years. What started as a dispute over university governance and autonomy has now spilled decisively into the streets — and with it, long-suppressed questions of identity, trust, and cohesion inside the Serbian state. ⸻ The immediate cause of the protests lies in disagreements over management, appointments, and oversight at the state-funded university. Students and parts of the academic community argue that increased central control from Belgrade threatens institutional autonomy and weakens local influence over a key public institution. Yet the scale and speed of the mobilization make clear that this is not merely an academic issue. The university has become a symbol — and in Sandžak, symbols rarely remain confined to classrooms. ⸻ To understand why this confrontation resonates so strongly, one must understand the historical weight of Novi Pazar and the Sandžak region. Founded in the 15th century as a major Ottoman administrative and trade center, Novi Pazar developed for centuries outside the political and cultural core of the Serbian medieval and later national state. Sandžak itself takes its name from the Ottoman administrative system, reflecting its long history as a frontier zone between empires, religions, and identities. Unlike most of Serbia, Sandžak retained a strong Muslim — largely Bosniak — population, whose historical memory and social structures were shaped within a different civilizational framework. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and later Yugoslavia, the region became part of Serbia, but the sense of being fully integrated never entirely followed. For many locals, Novi Pazar represents more than geography. It represents continuity, recognition, and the ability to exist within Serbia without being absorbed into a narrative that does not fully reflect them. ⸻ This is why the university matters so deeply. It is one of the few major state institutions in Sandžak where local academics, students, and elites feel genuinely represented. Control over it is not perceived merely as bureaucratic authority, but as influence over the future — who teaches, who decides, and which perspectives are treated as normal rather than peripheral. Crucially, protesters are not claiming that Serbia is pursuing open anti-Muslim policies, nor that the university will become a site of ideological indoctrination. The fear is subtler, but no less powerful: that tighter centralization will gradually normalize a dominant national framework in which Sandžak’s identity becomes secondary, diluted, or reduced to regional color. ⸻ The moment protests moved from the campus to street blockades marked a turning point. Blocking major roads in Novi Pazar is not random disruption; it is a signal that institutional trust has eroded to the point where pressure politics replaces dialogue. When identity, history, and dignity become intertwined with administrative decisions, every move from the center is read symbolically. Silence becomes provocation. Reform becomes suspicion. ⸻ Serbia is not collapsing. There are no calls for secession, no parallel authorities, no territorial challenge. But what is unfolding in Novi Pazar reveals something more uncomfortable: fragile internal cohesion in a state that presents itself as unified and stable. States rarely weaken through sudden rupture. More often, they erode slowly — when regions feel unheard, when institutions lose legitimacy, and when identity becomes the language of protest. Novi Pazar is not an exception. It is a warning.

At first glance, it just looks like a stunning painting. Then you step back and realize you’re looking at one of the most impossibly detailed works of art you’ve ever seen... Around 1620, in Antwerp, an unnamed Flemish painter set out to gather the city’s most famous artworks into a single piece, but what he ultimately chose to do with it will never cease to amaze me. Now held at the National Gallery in London, this painting is called Cognoscenti in a Room hung with Pictures, and it is, technically speaking, one of the most vertiginous acts of illusionism in the Western canon. Eleven richly dressed men — artists, dealers, collectors, the cognoscenti of the title — move through a vast imagined gallery, discussing and inspecting its contents. But the figures are almost beside the point. What stops you are the walls. From floor to ceiling, they are covered with meticulous miniature copies of real works by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century masters, mostly from Antwerp, assembled as an ideal gathering of the finest things the city had to offer. Paintings within a painting. A museum compressed into a canvas. This is what scholars call a Kunstkammer, or "cabinet of curiosities", and the genre carried real social weight. To collect art in the Dutch and Flemish Golden Age was a declaration, not merely a pleasure. The cognoscenti shown here are pretentious by design: richly dressed, surrounded by coins, medals, and Persian rugs. Every object is a signal of wealth. And then — almost invisible, sitting on the windowsill at the edge of the composition — there is the monkey. The picture celebrates the pleasures of collecting and the erudition of art appreciation. But the monkey, a traditional symbol of the foolishness of human endeavors, sits there as a reminder of the frivolity and ultimate futility of buying expensive things. He is mocking them... these men so devoted to hoarding precious objects, when perhaps their hours might have been spent on something less perishable. It is one of the most elegant acts of subversion in art history: a painter who spent months lovingly reproducing the work of other painters, in obsessive miniature detail, and then placed a fool's emblem in the corner to ask whether any of it matters... It is simultaneously a love letter to art and an indictment of what happens when love turns into possession. The cognoscenti in the room are not wrong to find beauty worth pursuing, but they have perhaps confused the pursuit with the trophy. Four hundred years later, the monkey is still watching and the question it asks has not changed: are you here for the beauty, or for the proof that the beauty is yours? -- -- -- I wrote about this and 5 other impossible masterpieces in today's article.

$France is not a country. It is a working a five pointed territory through which the Divine Will of history presses itself into matter. Geography is destiny. But France's geography is sacred geometry : The Pentagram Look at a map. France is the only major nation in the world whose natural borders form a near perfect irregular pentagon: Pyrenees, Alps, Rhine, Atlantic, Mediterranean. Five axes. Five elemental thresholds. The ancients called such configurations receptacles of force. The land itself is a sealed vessel. This is not metaphor. Traditionalist geographers from Guénon to Evola noted that certain territories act as polar attractors nodes where the invisible hierarchies of the world discharge their lightning. France is one of three such nodes in Western history. And the most volatile. Three times, France has reset the operating system of civilization, not by conquest alone, but by transmitting a spirit that colonized the collective imagination of humanity: 987: Cluny and the Romanesque Fire. From Burgundian monasteries, a single spiritual current reformed the entire Western Church, created the pilgrimage roads to Compostela, and built the first unified European sacred geography. The monks of Cluny were alchemists of the soul, they rebuilt the invisible architecture of the West from a valley in Burgundy. 1789: The Revolution as Cosmic Eruption. The Rights of Man did not emerge from a political debate, they erupted like volcanic logos. Within a decade, the revolutionary virus had dissolved every ancien régime from Haiti to Warsaw. Napoleon carried it further still: a single Corsican vessel channeling the Jovian will of France, rewriting the legal code of the Earth: the Napoleonic Code still governs 2.5 billion people today. 1900 - 1970: Paris as the Axis Mundi of the Modern Spirit. Picasso dismantled visual reality. Bergson dissolved mechanistic time. Sartre and Camus handed an existential grammar to a generation untethered from God. Structuralism. Cinema. The Situationist International. When the world needed new forms to hold its crisis of meaning, Paris dreamed them first. The French ethos is not merely cultural pride. It is a specific psychic posture, a permanent tension between raison and passion, between the Apollonian clarity of Descartes and the Dionysian fury of Rimbaud. This tension is the alchemical solve et coagula operating at the level of a civilization. The French dissolve what is rigid in the world (solve): they question, revolt, philosophize, dismantle. Then, paradoxically, they crystallize new form (coagula): cathedrals, codes, manifestos, haute cuisine elevated to metaphysical discipline. No other people has oscillated so violently and so productively between these two poles. Joan of Arc is the archetype. A peasant girl becomes the sword of the divine will, unifying a fractured kingdom, then is burned by the very Church she saved. She does not survive the operation. France rarely does. The vessel cracks each time it pours. Yet it is reconstituted, again and again, for another working. To be a catalyst is not to be protected. France has paid the esoteric tithe in full: revolution devouring its children, two world wars that bled its youth into the earth, a post war spiritual crisis unmatched in the West. The gods do not reward their instruments. They exhaust them. Yet exhaustion is not death. It is Calcination: the first stage of the Great Work. The black earth from which gold is eventually extracted. Those who understand the rhythm know: France does not decline. France incubates. The question that haunts every student of sacred history is not whether France will act again. It always does. The question is: what is the next transmission? When the world loses its coherence, when the old stories collapse and no new myth has yet crystallized, historically, one looks West, past the Rhine, to the hexagonal vessel where the fire never fully dies. FRANCE BAISE OUAIS !!!$

leaked report: this is the text of the speech President Trump will be giving to the world about the Alien presence: "My fellow Americans, people of the world, today we set forth on a journey into a new era. One age, the childhood of mankind, is ending and another age is about to begin. The journey of which I speak is full of unknowable challenges, but I believe that all our yesterdays, all the struggles of the past, have uniquely prepared our generation to prevail. Citizens of this Earth, we are not alone. God, in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to populate His universe with other beings, intelligent creatures such as ourselves. How can I state this with such authority? In the year 1947 our military forces recovered from the dry New Mexico desert the remains of an aircraft of unknown origin. Science soon determined that this vehicle came from the far reaches of outer space. Since that time our government has made contact with the creators of that spacecraft. Though this news may sound fantastic-and indeed, terrifying-I ask that you not greet it with undue fear or pessimism. I assure you, as your President, that these beings mean us no harm. Rather, they promise to help our nation overcome the common enemies of all mankind-tyranny, poverty, disease, war. We have determined that they are not foes, but friends. Together with them we can create a better world. I cannot tell you that there will be no stumbling or missteps on the road ahead. I believe that we have found the true destiny of the people of this great land: To lead the world into a glorious future. In the coming days, weeks and months, you will learn more about these visitors, why they are here and why our leaders have kept their presence a secret from you for so long. I ask you to look to the future, not with timidity, but with courage, because we can achieve in our time the ancient vision of peace on Earth and prosperity for all humankind. God bless you."

Russian dissident Aleksandr Skobov is awaiting the third verdict in his life (another court hearing was held yesterday). Russian sociologist Igor Eidman posted Skobov's "last word" for the court. I want to share the words of this decent, honest and brave man with you. "I was brought up in the Soviet Union in the belief that when peaceful people are attacked by an evil and cruel aggressor, one should take up arms and go to fight. And if you cannot hold a weapon, help those who are fighting and encourage others to do so. All my publicistic activity is a call to go to fight the aggressor who attacked Ukraine, to help it with weapons and ammunition. I see myself as a participant in the armed confrontation with the aggressor. There's my small part in the missiles and shells that destroy the invaders. And I take responsibility for each destroyed occupier. No one attacked Russia, no one threatened it. Putin's Nazi regime attacked Ukraine. Exclusively because of the megalomania of its leaders, because of the inhuman thirst for power over everything around them. They assert themselves by killing hundreds of thousands of people. They are bastards, scumbags, Nazi scum. The guilt of Putin's Nazi dictatorship in preparing, unleashing and waging a war of aggression is obvious and needs no proof. Likewise, our right to armed resistance to the aggressor on the battlefield and in the rear of the aggressor does not need proof. Yes, and it would be ridiculous to expect such a confession from a regime that throws people in prison just for words of moral condemnation of aggression. All possibilities of legal protest against Putin's Russian aggression have been destroyed. My calls for armed resistance to the aggressor authorities qualify under the article on terrorism. I will not argue with the authorities of the aggressor, even if they will qualify my actions under article about pedophilia. The court in Russia has long ago proved that it is an appendage of Nazi tyranny and it is pointless to seek justice from it. I will never stand before these people – servants of murderers and scoundrels. I have nothing to argue with them about. Let the guns speak to them for me. I see no point in arguing with the puppets of a dictatorship about how faithfully they apply their laws. They are in any case the laws of a totalitarian state designed to suppress dissent. I do not recognize these laws and will not obey them. Nor will I appeal against any decisions and actions of the Nazi authorities. I do not need the favor of my armed adversary. Putin's dictatorship can kill me, but it cannot make me give up fighting it. And wherever I am, I will continue to call on honest Russians to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I will continue to call for strikes on military facilities deep inside Russian territory. I will call on the civilized world to inflict a strategic defeat on Nazi Russia. I will prove the necessity of military defeat of the new Hitler's regime. Putin is new Hitler, a ghoul mad with impunity, drunk on blood. And I will never tire of repeating, "Destroy the bastard!" Death to Putin, murderer, tyrant and bastard! Death to the Russian fascist invaders! Glory to Ukraine!"

🔥«IT'S GOING TO BE BIBLICAL»🔥 FROM DARK TO LIGHT - HOW EVERYTHING HAPPENING NOW IS FORETOLD IN THE BIBLE A thread 🧵 5️⃣ THE LION OF JUDAH: ONE BLOODLINE, TWO ROLES THE TRIBE OF JUDAH Judah was one of the twelve sons of Jacob - later called Israel - descending from Noah in the line of Shem. Judah wasn’t the obvious hero at first. But Jacob sees something - maybe the fire under the flaws. In Genesis 49, on his deathbed, he blesses Judah with a Covenant prophesying that his descendants would be like A LION - strong, courageous, and royal: «Judah, your brothers shall praise you… Judah is a lion’s cub… The scepter shall not depart from Judah…until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the Peoples.» That Covenant is The Start. Judah’s tribe gets the kingship. King David was the first monarch to truly fulfill this «kingly» destiny for the tribe, establishing a royal bloodline known as the House of David. JESUS OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH Jesus - born in Bethlehem, can be traced straight back to David and Judah. Perhaps the story about Jesus isn’t about one man who dies, then is resurrected and comes back. Perhaps it is about the unbreakable DNA of a tribe - a BLOODLINE of raw strength, royal fire, and cosmic purpose. The LION roars through generations. The bloodline’s legacy is to take humanity FROM DARK TO LIGHT. To protect truth, awaken souls and crush the Darkness. Jesus had no throne and no army. His mission was about Knowledge and Awakening. He was not claiming the judge’s seat. Jesus was teaching Ascension - how to shed hate, fear and ego. How to rise as Light. «I am the way to the Father» (John 14:6) means his teachings are the ladder. The knowledge needed to get there. Jesus was of the tribe of Judah - the lion blood in his veins. But his job was about prepping the hearts and minds. Showing us the path. He was not The Son of Man, so perhaps no crucifixion myth is needed. THE SON OF MAN When Enoch’s «Son of Man» comes - he will be of the same bloodline - the same lion heritage. Hidden from creation, chosen before time. Arriving once. No «second coming». 1 Enoch 46-48: «Kings tremble, evil burns, righteous rise». The demons and swamp creatures - all gone. No mercy. No pause. The field clears for humanity’s Ascension. None of the blockers of Light left to postpone it. When Jesus was talking about the Son of Man, he was likely pointing forward, future tense: «You will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory» (Mark 13:26). Not «that’s me right now» or «That’s me when I come back around». Enoch wasn’t some secret cult book back then; it was circulating in Jesus’ circles. Jesus knew the scriptures inside out and when he talks «Son of Man coming on clouds» or «throne of glory» he is quoting Enoch and Daniel, and warning us: Learn now. The enforcer is coming later. Jesus and The Son of Man: Same Tribe of Judah bloodline. Two roles. No overlap. One is the Teacher. The other is the Enforcer. THE BIBLE WAS REWRITTEN Later on the Bible got «polished» to fit the purposes of the Church: The Council of Nicaea, the Roman Emperor’s power grab. «The Son of Man will come» morphed into «Jesus is the Son of Man». I think Revelation appears to adapt Enoch’s and Daniel’s imagery - throne, judgment, cosmic arrival - while merging two distinct roles into one figure: Jesus as both slain Lamb and conquering Lion. This fusion strains my logic; a lamb does not roar like a lion. The text’s late composition and heavy symbolism suggest that the intention was to centralize authority, instill fear through apocalyptic threats, and obscure the original sequence - Jesus as teacher, followed by a separate enforcer. But if we try and remove the edits? The plan holds: Jesus teaches the rise. Son of Man drains the swamp. The Q drops mirror this. Exposure: A TRUTH FLOOD, leading to THE GREAT AWAKENING. Followed by JUSTICE. Evil is conquered, humanity levels up and is finally set free.

This is real gun camera footage from a P-51 Mustang, chasing a German Bf 109 down to the treetops until it goes down in flames. The American pilot flying it, Lt John Kirla, shot down five enemy planes in a single day, becoming an ace in one mission. This footage captures one of his victories over a Bf 109. This is his story.. From Trainee to the Yoxford Boys John Kirla was not a born fighter ace. He was an ordinary young American who had come up through flight training in Texas, graduating at the start of 1944. He learned his trade on trainers, moved up to fighters, and got just 15 hours in the P-51 Mustang before being sent to England as a replacement pilot. He joined the 362nd Fighter Squadron of the 357th Fighter Group, a unit based at Leiston that was already becoming a legend. The 357th was the first group in the Eighth Air Force fully equipped with the Mustang, and it would go on to produce more aces than any other fighter group in the Eighth, including Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson. Kirla was the newest pilot in a squadron already filled with experienced aces. His job was to escort American bombers deep into Germany and protect them from the Luftwaffe. On November 27 1944, he got the day that would define him. Five Victories in One Mission That morning the 357th ran headlong into a massive swarm of German fighters trying to get at the bombers. Kirla's flight dropped their fuel tanks and dived straight into the middle of it. Almost immediately, the fight became a swirling, low-level brawl of Mustangs, Messerschmitts, and Focke-Wulfs twisting across the sky. Kirla picked out his first target and opened fire, and from that moment he did not stop hunting. In his own account, he spotted a Bf 109 that was attacking an American bomber. He went after it, closed to just 30 yards, and when the German threw his fighter into a tight barrel roll straight down toward the ground, Kirla stayed glued to his tail and, in his words, clobbered him all over until he went down. An Ace in a Day He kept finding more. Again and again through that wild, sprawling fight, Kirla latched onto an enemy aircraft and did not let go. At one point he watched a German fighter shoot down one of his fellow Mustang pilots right in front of him, and closed in for revenge. As he described it afterward, he opened fire, saw pieces start to fly off the enemy aircraft, and watched it fall out of the sky like a leaf drifting to the ground. Rather than breaking away and climbing back to safety, Kirla chased his targets down low, following them almost to the ground, the fighters weaving over villages and treetops until the enemy aircraft finally went down. By the time the fight was over, John Kirla had shot down five German aircraft in a single mission. He had become an ace in a day, one of the relatively few American fighter pilots to achieve that in a single mission. The Mustang That Changed the Air War The Mustang was the aircraft that made days like Kirla's possible. The P-51 combined long range, high speed, and deadly firepower, and it could follow the bombers all the way to their targets and fight the German fighters on equal or better terms. By the end of the war, P-51 groups had claimed close to 5,000 enemy aircraft shot down, about half of all American air-to-air kills in the European theater. Kirla's own group, the 357th, became the top-scoring Mustang group in the Eighth Air Force. Flying one of the finest escort fighters of the war, men like Kirla helped turn the tide of the air war over Germany. The gun-camera film rolling every time he pressed the trigger captured it all, including the footage you are watching. John Kirla's Legacy John Kirla flew on to the end of his combat tour and finished the war as a double ace, credited with 11 and a half enemy aircraft destroyed in the air. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his courage in the skies over Europe. He had gone from a trainee with a handful of hours in a Mustang to one of the deadliest fighter pilots in one of the deadliest fighter groups of the war, in the span of a single year. The footage of his Mustang chasing a Bf 109 down to the trees is only a few seconds long. But behind those few seconds is a young American who climbed into a fighter, dove into a swarm of the enemy, and shot down five of them before the day was out. This was the story of John Kirla. I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.

🚨🇧🇬🔥 BREAKING NEWS 🔥🇧🇬🚨 BULGARIA RISES — GOVERNMENT FALLS 🇧🇬 MASS PROTESTS FORCE PRIME MINISTER TO RESIGN 🇧🇬 Sofia — Bulgaria has entered a historic moment. After days of massive demonstrations that flooded the streets of Sofia and spread across the entire country, the Bulgarian government has collapsed. The Prime Minister has officially announced his resignation, bowing to overwhelming public pressure from tens of thousands of protesters. What began as demonstrations against corruption, rising living costs, and a controversial state budget has turned into one of the rare cases in modern Europe where street pressure directly toppled a sitting government. Attempts to calm the situation — including withdrawing parts of the budget and surviving multiple no-confidence motions — failed to stop the growing unrest. The streets demanded more than cosmetic changes. They demanded resignation. From the Largo and the National Assembly in Sofia to cities such as Plovdiv, Burgas, Ruse, Vidin, Gabrovo and others, Bulgaria witnessed a synchronized national uprising. Drone footage circulating online shows crowds so dense that the end of the protest is impossible to see — a visual symbol of a government that had lost control. In his resignation statement, the Prime Minister cited public dissatisfaction and the need to protect democratic stability. Yet the reality is clear: the government lost its legitimacy in the eyes of its own people. This political collapse comes at a critical time. Bulgaria is facing major economic and institutional decisions, including eurozone-related processes and long-delayed reforms. Instead of stability, the country now enters a period of uncertainty, with early elections and a power vacuum increasingly likely. For the wider Slavic world, this moment carries deeper meaning. Bulgaria has long been portrayed as passive, dependent, and politically immobilized. The events of tonight shatter that image. 🇧🇬 A Slavic nation stood up. 🇧🇬 The streets spoke louder than Brussels, louder than parties, louder than elites. Whether this resignation leads to genuine reform or merely a reshuffling of power remains an open question. But one truth cannot be denied: This government did not fall in parliament. It fell in the streets. If you like what we are doing — like, share, subscribe, and invite your friends for more. Follow us also on Facebook: Slavic Networks Nirali VVeles SlavicFreeSpirit

#KarenRead might actually be the closest thing I've seen to an evil genius...though YCT Rule Number 7 has always been "There are no evil geniuses". Damn, does she come close though. But more baffling to me is the number of people who were so willing to be duped. But, then, that's where the root of "conman" comes from. The 'con' means 'confidence'. The swindle works by winning someone's confidence, and the dirty secret is that people are vulnerable when they WANT to believe. PT Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute". Karen has directly...and closely...managed a spider web of social media through minions such as Sean McDonough, Olivia, Turtleboy, the Glarer...many more. She distributes lies through them the way Putin sends out Iranian drones to hit the Ukranian power grid. I'm not speculating. I've watched it work the last year, and once fell victim to it myself. Karen's lies, not the Iranian drones, of course. But when do those she has conned stop and take stock of all the things they've believed and proved to be misinformation spread by one woman? The Feds did not stop the trial or charge any conspirators. That trick is like Charlie Brown and the football. No one in FKR seems to learn, however. "Evah!" The defense promised evidence of a framing, a premeditated attack on John, a cover up, a conspiracy the likes of which this region has never seen. Literally none of that proved true. Not one iota of evidence. Her Legion of the Duped was told about missing belts, missing hats and shoes, geofence data that showed John in the house, witnesses to nefarious events inside the sallyport, witnesses that flipped, misplaced commas that proved a 20-year honor student was in on it, a drug deal filmed, feuds with neighbors, laundered clothing, evidence stored for 6 weeks in the back of Proctor's SUV...on and on and on. The evidence against Karen is bulletproof, but was poorly presented, so the jury's conclusion is not surprising. However, literally no evidence emerged to prove wrongdoing on the part of investigators. No conspiracy. There's as much evidence the Reptilians killed John as there is the "McAlberts". Yet no one within the moribund legion questions ANY OF IT. Like Stepford Wives, they walk around with blank stares, continuing the say things that are proved false within an hour. Such as the notion that the state will not try her again. The idea that ordinary people beat up a friend, entirely without motive, and for some reason thought it made sense to wait a few hours, then drag him, alive, onto the THEIR OWN LAWN in order to die in the cold...remains absurd. I have to believe that some day most members of the horde will look back and wonder why they believed such weirdness. Many will deny they did, just like in the years following the Salem Witch Trials no one admitted to turning against their neighbors for their own petty reasons, and no one admitted succumbing to superstition. In the Karen Read case, a couple of years from now, if a visiting relative at Thanksgiving brings it up, they'll ask: "Did people really believe those in the house would actually drag someone onto their own lawn to die like that?" And former members of the Horde will reply: "I never fell for it myself."

#KarenRead might actually be the closest thing I've seen to an evil genius...though YCT Rule Number 7 has always been "There are no evil geniuses". Damn, does she come close though. But more baffling to me is the number of people who were so willing to be duped. But, then, that's where the root of "conman" comes from. The 'con' means 'confidence'. The swindle works by winning someone's confidence, and the dirty secret is that people are vulnerable when they WANT to believe. PT Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute". Karen has directly...and closely...managed a spider web of social media through minions such as Sean McDonough, Olivia, Turtleboy, the Glarer...many more. She distributes lies through them the way Putin sends out Iranian drones to hit the Ukranian power grid. I'm not speculating. I've watched it work the last year, and once fell victim to it myself. Karen's lies, not the Iranian drones, of course. But when do those she has conned stop and take stock of all the things they've believed and proved to be misinformation spread by one woman? The Feds did not stop the trial or charge any conspirators. That trick is like Charlie Brown and the football. No one in FKR seems to learn, however. "Evah!" The defense promised evidence of a framing, a premeditated attack on John, a cover up, a conspiracy the likes of which this region has never seen. Literally none of that proved true. Not one iota of evidence. Her Legion of the Duped was told about missing belts, missing hats and shoes, geofence data that showed John in the house, witnesses to nefarious events inside the sallyport, witnesses that flipped, misplaced commas that proved a 20-year honor student was in on it, a drug deal filmed, feuds with neighbors, laundered clothing, evidence stored for 6 weeks in the back of Proctor's SUV...on and on and on. The evidence against Karen is bulletproof, but was poorly presented, so the jury's conclusion is not surprising. However, literally no evidence emerged to prove wrongdoing on the part of investigators. No conspiracy. There's as much evidence the Reptilians killed John as there is the "McAlberts". Yet no one within the moribund legion questions ANY OF IT. Like Stepford Wives, they walk around with blank stares, continuing the say things that are proved false within an hour. Such as the notion that the state will not try her again. The idea that ordinary people beat up a friend, entirely without motive, and for some reason thought it made sense to wait a few hours, then drag him, alive, onto the THEIR OWN LAWN in order to die in the cold...remains absurd.
