@MohammadKaif Once Ravi Shastri said "jo jaisa hai usey vaisa hi bolo upar na chhadao" We know Indian team is strong and was sensational but Aus is the best team. Aussies are invincible and dominant. They came to foreign location, different conditions yet became the world champions

This will be the last update from the Northern Utah Type 3 Incident Management Team for the #Widemouth2Fire. The NUIMT Incident Commander trainee Lucas Yeamans said it best at tonight's meeting "We were fully supported here. Especially dealing with incidents like this, we empathize with you. We did the best we could to minimize the impact to you and have genuine concern for you. This community is as unique as this fire. The experience we had here isn’t what we experience every fire we go to. Your elected officials, your community leaders, your Sheriff's department, your local fire department, your state and county resources, your federal land management leaders, have all been amazing. It has been incredibly impressive to see how they work together, to see their commitment, and to see their effort. You can see their concern and their dedication. And, on behalf of the NUIMT, we were proud to be a part of that effort. We applaud you for having such a strong community, with such great leaders. We were honored to serve you, and want to say thank you." Aug 3, Fire behavior update: As of this evening the #Widemouth2Fire crews have made great progress holding the fire outside the communities of Kanosh, Meadow, and Fillmore. The western edge of the fire near Kanosh has minimal heat within most of the interior of the fire. Everything from Kanosh to Meadow is holding well. Crews will continue to secure this perimeter to get residents back in as quickly as possible. From Meadow to Fillmore, there is some heat within the line. This area experienced some spotting, but firefighters were able to catch them all thus far. From Chalk Creek Canyon and east, crews were able to construct dozer line and laid retardant line to enhance the efforts, and were able to hold the fire in the canyon. The east side is growing too quickly to go direct. Firefighters spent the day scouting and doing structure protection. Another focus was establishing safety zones and escape routes. But were unable to directly engage because of the pace of the fire. This evening the fire did reach Sevier County in its push eastward. The southwest corner experienced spotting due to northwest winds. Crews were able to pick them up and stop forward progression of the spots. Southwest of Kanosh, firefighters worked diligently to hold the current perimeter. Once the fire hit the ridge, it made a quick run. All evacuations from today remain and no additional ones exist as of now. Follow the Millard County Sheriff's Office page for updates.

Marc Andreessen: Most successful companies started “product first” “There are products that become companies, and then there are companies that come up with a product. One of the interesting things over the years is that many of the most successful technology franchises were products first, way before they ever became companies.” In this talk, Marc gives a few examples: • His team at the University of Illinois worked on the research project that became Netscape for three years before it became a company • Bill Gates and Paul Allen were deep into PCs before there was a software business • Jobs and Wozniak built the first Apple computer as hobbyists • Mark Zuckerberg was running Facebook out of his dorm room before he ever thought of starting a company • Twitter was a side project at the failed podcasting app Odeo Marc believes that this “product becomes a company” template is successful because “it’s a demonstration that the product has to exist. The market needs the product so badly that somebody actually built it and deployed it and you can actually see evidence that people want it before there was an economic motivation to do so.” He contrasts this with the failure cases he often sees when entrepreneurs try to figure out the idea after starting a company. “It’s very easy in that process to fool yourself into believing that there’s a market because you want to find something and you have a very strong motivation to come up with an answer. It’s hard to go through that process for three months and then say, ‘you know what, we can’t come up with any good ideas.’” There are of course there exceptions. Marc gives Hewlett Packard as an example. But that’s more the exception than the rule. As Marc explains: “The moral of the story is it has to be a really good idea. That often will be an idea that is preexisting at the time you decide to start a company. And if it isn’t, be really careful because you’re walking on sharp rocks at that point with a high risk of falling off the cliff into the ocean.” Video source: Stanford eCorner (2010)

Last night, before I slept, I told my Grok Bot to go through the raw footage of every Starship launch, from Flight 1 all the way to Flight 14, using only official SpaceX footage bc I wanted it to put together the best moments from each flight, in order, so I could actually see how far this rocket has come. I woke up to an 11-minute video. I pressed play and watched the entire thing. And I have to say, watching all 14 flights back to back gave me an even greater appreciation for Elon and the SpaceX team. You can see the progress with your own eyes on both the things that went right and also went wrong. Every explosion, every failed landing, every lost ship taught them something. And instead of backing down, they kept building, fixing, testing, and flying. I remember A LOT of people wrote Starship off after Flight 1. Then they did it again after Flights 7 and 8, when two ships blew up on back-to-back missions. SpaceX never quit. I really believe Starship is one of the most incredible engineering stories of our lifetime. 1/ April 20, 2023 — Flight 1 The first time the fully stacked Starship ever left the ground. Engines were failing, the booster never separated from the ship, and the launch destroyed much of the pad. The rocket made it roughly 24 miles into the sky before breaking apart. I still remember people acting like the entire Starship program was finished that day. SpaceX went back, rebuilt the launch pad, fixed what went wrong, and prepared to fly again. 2/ November 18, 2023 — Flight 2 Just seven months later, all 33 booster engines fired successfully. SpaceX pulled off hot staging for the first time, separating the two stages while engines were firing and Starship reached space. They still lost both stages, but compare this to Flight 1. It was already a completely different outcome. 3/ March 14, 2024 — Flight 3 For the first time, Starship made it far enough to attempt reentry from space. SpaceX also opened the payload door in space, an important step toward deploying satellites. The booster broke apart during its landing attempt in the Gulf, and the ship was lost during reentry. But they were now testing things they couldn't even reach on the first two flights. 4/ June 6, 2024 — Flight 4 The booster made a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, Starship came screaming back through the atmosphere with one of its flaps badly damaged and burning. I remember watching that flap practically fall apart on the livestream. Somehow, the ship kept flying, maintained control, and made it all the way to the ocean. That was unbelievable to watch. 5/ October 13, 2024 — Flight 5 The first ever Super Heavy booster catch. I don't think people fully appreciate what happened here. SpaceX launched a massive rocket, brought the booster back to the launch site, and caught it in midair using two giant mechanical arms attached to the launch tower. Nobody had EVER done anything like that with a rocket booster before... something that sounded impossible had just become real. 6/ November 19, 2024 — Flight 6 SpaceX called off the planned booster catch bc of a problem at the tower, so the booster made a controlled splashdown instead. But the ship achieved another huge milestone. It restarted a Raptor engine in space for the first time. That's an important capability for controlled orbital operations and eventually returning from orbit. The ship also survived reentry and splashed down in daylight. And they even had a banana inside the ship to show when it reached zero gravity. 7/ January 16, 2025 — Flight 7 A new generation of Starship made its debut. SpaceX successfully caught the booster for the second time. Then things went wrong... the ship lost engines and broke apart over the Caribbean. It was a major setback, especially after the progress made on earlier flights, but the team didn't hide from what happened. They showed it, studied it, and went back to work. 8/ March 6, 2025 — Flight 8 Another successful booster catch, the third one. Then the ship suffered engine failures and was lost over the Caribbean again. Two Starships destroyed on consecutive flights. The criticism was everywhere, and plenty of people were convinced the program was going backward. This is where I think the SpaceX team deserves enormous respect. They had already proven the booster could be caught. Now they had to figure out what was happening to the ship. They didn't give up. 9/ May 27, 2025 — Flight 9 For the first time, SpaceX launched a Super Heavy booster that had already flown. This was the same booster caught during Flight 7, and 29 of its 33 engines had previously flown. Pretty cool to know that an enormous rocket booster was being reused. The booster broke apart during its landing attempt though. The ship reached engine cutoff, but a leak caused it to lose control, preventing the planned satellite deployment. Another difficult flight with another set of lessons. But on the positive side, reusable Starship hardware had officially flown again. 10/ August 26, 2025 — Flight 10 After losing three ships in a row, SpaceX finally completed another Starship flight. And this one was a big deal. For the first time, Starship deployed a payload... eight Starlink satellite simulators, released one after another. The ship also restarted an engine in space, survived reentry, and reached its planned splashdown area. It eventually tipped over and caught fire after reaching the water. The booster also made it to the Gulf, although it was destroyed on impact. No catch was planned. Still, after everything that had happened on Flights 7, 8, and 9, seeing that ship make it through the mission was awesome. 11/ October 13, 2025 — Flight 11 Exactly one year after the first booster catch. This was the final flight of that Starship version. SpaceX deployed more satellite simulators and brought both stages back to controlled ocean splashdowns. What stood out to me was how much more complete these flights were becoming... the team was finally putting together the things it had spent the previous two years learning. 12/ May 22, 2026 — Flight 12 The first flight of Starship V3, launching from the new pad. A new version of the rocket meant another round of testing, with new hardware and new challenges. The booster didn't survive its landing attempt, but the ship successfully deployed its test satellites and made it through to splashdown. That's the thing about developing something this complicated. Even when you solve one problem, the next version can introduce brand new ones. The SpaceX team kept learning. 13/ July 24, 2026 — Flight 13 Starship deployed 20 real next-generation Starlink V3 satellites for the first time, on a trajectory designed to bring them back down. And the splashdown was incredible. The ship descended so gently that it stayed in one piece, floated on the water, and continued communicating with SpaceX. The booster didn't make it through its landing burn, but the ship showed just how far its reentry and landing control had come. 14/ September 28, 2026 — Flight 14 And then came orbit. After 13 test flights, Starship finally achieved orbital insertion. SpaceX deployed 26 REAL Starlink V3 satellites, and this time they stayed in orbit. Elon later confirmed that all 26 were working. The ship experienced an early engine shutdown, so SpaceX adjusted the mission. Instead of flying the planned roughly 10 hours and six orbits, they brought it down after a little over three hours, splashing down north of Hawaii. The booster made its planned splashdown in the Gulf. There was no catch attempt on this mission. What mattered most here was that SpaceX put real next-generation Starlink satellites into orbit, satellites that are too large for Falcon 9 to launch in their current form. This was a MASSIVE step toward what Starship was built to do. But really... think about the difference. On April 20, 2023, Starship makes it 24 miles high, fails to separate, breaks apart, and leaves the launch pad badly damaged. And then, three and a half years later, going through 13 flights, countless hours of engineering, rebuilding, testing, fixing things that failed, and trying again... On September 28, 2026, the 14th flight, Starship reaches orbit and deploys 26 next-generation operating Starlink satellites. These were all successful flights followed by failures. There were historic booster catches followed by ships exploding. There were moments when it looked like SpaceX had solved something, only for an entirely new problem to show up on the next flight. But every time... Elon and the team came back. That's what makes this video so powerful to me. We're watching what happens when thousands of incredibly talented people refuse to quit on something they believe is possible. Then on Friday, Elon said he now believes SpaceX becoming worth more than $1,000 trillion is a possible outcome. FYI, he didn't believe that before. For perspective, $SPCX is worth roughly $2.2 trillion today... to even have a chance of getting anywhere near that level, Starship needs to become far more than a rocket that occasionally reaches orbit. It needs to launch massive payloads reliably, become rapidly reusable, dramatically lower the cost of reaching space, and open up opportunities that simply aren't possible with today's rockets. That includes deploying much larger Starlink satellites, building infrastructure in orbit, and eventually making human missions to the Moon and Mars possible on an entirely different scale. And that's why the progress across these 14 flights matters so much. I don't think most people appreciate how difficult it is to build something like Starship. Or how many things have to go right, one after another, to turn a rocket this ambitious into something that flies routinely. We're still very early... there's a lot left to prove. But look at what this team has already accomplished. I've followed SpaceX for years, and watching these 11 minutes made me appreciate the people behind these launches even more. The engineers, technicians, launch crews, and everyone working behind the scenes to make the next flight better than the last. They deserve an enormous amount of credit. If you only watch Flight 14, you'll see an incredible rocket... but if you start with Flight 1 and watch everything that happened along the way, you'll understand why I have so much faith in this team. A lot of people have doubted them over the years. Every time something explodes, those people came back. And every time, SpaceX got back to work to prove them wrong. Never bet against Elon and the SpaceX team... I believe they are going to make the vehicle that this entire company's future depends on - Starship - successful.

We use Bittensor to gather intelligence. But we’ll build the product in-house. Our subnet is a phenomenal intelligence engine: 1000+ miners and ~5500 agents competing, iterating on, and compounding each other’s work. One miner builds a breakthrough agent. The next forks it, implements a new tool, improves performance by 1-2%. The next does the same. This cycle runs continuously, with hundreds of teams around the world, each with different expertise, different approaches, different intuitions, all pushing the same eval forward. That's what the subnet is built for, and it's how we've outpaced labs with orders of magnitude more resources. Once our agent reaches SOTA on shopping, the next bottleneck is building an elegant, easy-to-use consumer product. And great products don't come from crowds. Open-source competition is the right tool for maximizing intelligence, you want hundreds of mutually compounding perspectives and iterations. But product is the opposite. Product requires taste. Elegance. Strong opinions about what to include and, critically, what to leave out. It requires a small, high-judgment team moving fast and making sharp calls, not a thousand competing voices. The best consumer experiences in the world were built by teams who knew exactly what they wanted to build and had the conviction to say no to everything else. That’s why phase two – building the product, belongs in-house at Oro. The best companies don’t start big – they start narrow In Zero to One, Peter Thiel argues that every great company starts by dominating a small, specific market before expanding outward. Amazon started with just books, going from $16 million to $148 million in revenue in that narrow market before touching anything else. PayPal went all-in on eBay power sellers, growing from 10,000 to over 5 million users in under a year. Facebook launched at Harvard and didn't open to the public for two and a half years. The playbook is proven: own a small market first, then expand. We're starting with consumer electronics. Why? Because electronics has something most shopping categories don't: objectivity. "Find me the best deal on an RTX 5090" has a right answer. Specs, prices, compatibility, all measurable, all verifiable. "Find me the perfect dress for a wedding" doesn't. You can't build a reliable eval for something with no correct answer. Starting with electronics enables us to kickstart a recursive self-improvement loop for our agent: assign it shopping tasks with clear success criteria, assess its performance and learn about its specific profile of strengths and weaknesses, and use that rich vein of data to improve both the eval and the base agent. We’ll start where we can prove our agent works. We’ll own that vertical. Then we’ll grow from there. Land, dominate, then expand.

INDIGOS ARE NOT HERE TO ASCEND A reminder to all Guardian Alliance warriors: you aren't here to 'qualify' for the next dimension. Do not mistake yourself as one of the humans and other abductees who were captured and held hostage on this battlefield since the Human Elohim Project began. You are the ones who came to set them free. You're not 'making the shift now', ahead of those humans & hybrids who are under the ascension process: you're here to show them how to embody higher awareness through example. So don't be depressed if you're still here; when you know for certain others have already moved forward since the opening of the Stellar Activation (ascension) Cycle on 12/21/2012. For the abductees we're here to enable escape, they are locked-in to the ascension process until they have gone through all 5 densities and all 15 dimensions. Each density has 3 dimensions. Density 1 covers dimensions 1, 2 & 3. That's where you are now, here to get the stragglers into density 2, to move up through dimensions 4, 5 & 6 on their journey. Once they've completed the 15th dimension, the final level of density 5, they will 'Kryst' their avatar out of that time matrix and return to the interstellar communities where they will be able to choose which time matrix they might want to enter into next. Or not; because manifesting inside a simulation is not mandatory. Many of us don't choose to have a physical avatar at all anymore, because after a certain number of manifest journeys, there really isn't much to gain from all that anymore. You are eternal and have been at this game for a very, very long time. You can choose to just 'be' Prime Creator and observe, or even assist those in the game if you wish. No one forces you into a mortal, fragile body if you don't want to. [For more about the ascension process, see my article: 👉15 LEVEL TIME MATRIX] Indigos are not here on the same journey as the abductees. You are a tactical, front-lines mil unit that enters battlefields like Navy Seals, or Airborne Rangers. In their case, they have very sparse tools to help breach enemy lines and can be considered an army of 1. Only the bravest men on earth would ever consider that role. In your case, only the bravest warriors across the cosmeias would ever attempt your mission. Because unlike armed soldiers in battle gear, you arrive on the field as an infant, naked, mind-wiped and abandoned. On the other side of enemy lines. Your role is not for everyone. Your job is to retrieve the POWs so they can resume their ascension journey that was arrested when they were all taken hostage 560m years ago. None of them should have been here in the 3rd dimension longer than about 2 1/2 years, and all of them should have mastered out of the Gaia time matrix after no longer than 33 years in total. That is their journey, not yours. Once your mission is over, you don't go to the next level, you simply leave. Or stay if you choose. But you don't have to qualify for anything, as long as you fulfill your contract by doing what you said you would do; free the hostages. Even if you already embody 7th dimensional awareness, you're not going to disappear from this level like the prisoners are once their cells resonate with the next dimension. I was told on no uncertain terms in 2018 at the safe house speaking to the keeper 'Many have already left. The ascension window is wide open, all they have to do is reach the next level of awareness', going on to say 'they simply vanish from this plane as if they were never here'. The keeper explained those who remain have the entire database of their loved one or someone they know who resonated with the next level, erased from their memory to avoid panic in a 'left behind' scenario. So there is no way we (the foot soldiers) have of keeping track of how many have already ascended. But the top levels of this conflict do. You will not be vanishing this way. Because you are the extraction team itself. For more about your role in this rescue operation, see my article: 👉INDIGO MISSIONS. THE ALPHAS Wolf packs have an alpha leader that protects the whole group from attacks. The old, weak, infirmed & the very young pups. But the amazing thing is that alpha isn't at the head of the pack. That's where the most fragile travel, because predators never confront the ones at the lead of groups, they prey on the very back of any herd to pick off the slowest, least powerful. Which is why wolves travel oppositely from normal game and their strongest & most fearless remain solitary at the back of the line so he can visually see the entire group and protect them from outside exposure. If another predator tries to cull the group, they will face the herd's most apex force. That's us, the guardian alliance. Not breaking the trail, but overseeing everyone's safety so no one gets left behind which gives the entire group the confidence to keep moving forward. It is your presence behind them that lights the way for them to reach the exit door. Without your strength they can count on, very few, if any, would ever make it through Armageddon, which is a process to separate the wheat from the chaff so the aether knows what is the best stage for each person left on this simulation field to go to next. [For more about this process, see my article: 👉THE SEPARATION] You will be here until every single one of the prisoners who have a chance to raise their awareness to make the shift, has. Then, at the final second of separation where Particle Tara makes the full transition away from Antiparticle Tara (where all the low-frequency invaders and low-frequency abductees who were just unable to overcome the elaborate brainwashing programs to resonate with the next level of awareness finally vanish from your world), you will simply be in the next dimension with your group. That's when your next phase of your mission kicks in and you help them to build the 4th dimension. Your job is far from over after merely breaking them free of this bondage, because leaving them all abandoned in the wreckage of what is left of Particle Tara would be like delivering your rescue party into the jaws of yet another hostage scenario. They must understand how the 4th dimension even works, have industry set up so they can produce wholesome products instead of loosh-farm poisons and without you to help, that's a level that might take them a trillion years to reach on their own. You are the 4th dimension is so many words. As for the next level: it has already been established. What I mean by that, is time is not linear. Every dimension within the time matrix is mapped out, played out, recorded and then replayed on a never-ending loop. We STEP INTO that loop when we’re ready, as the path through has already been ironed out in the simulation. So you can think of time and events much like a Blockbuster Video store with 10,000 movies to choose from. Then inside each movie, there are 1000 scenes. You can simply pop the video into a player, zip to the scene by the lake and instantly you are there. Nothing about that scene hasn’t already been filmed and recorded. And it never stops playing out in the aetheric field. You are there RIGHT NOW in every possible scenario you could ever find yourself in, given your set of potential possibilities in a human body that is this tall and that strong or that fragile, etc. If it COULD happen, it already has happened and stored in the akashic records (the Blockbuster store), sitting there waiting for you to reach for that movie, then choose that scene and press play. I was told directly that not only is the full 4th dimension established, but it runs all the way from the 4.0 through to the 4.99 interdimension (think of this like from caveman to George Jetson eras), and “it is this generation who successfully established it”. Which simply means, that after 26 times we’ve battled for ascension during previous Stellar Activation Cycles and lost, it is on this attempt when we finally succeeded. What that means in real terms, is that as long as each of us on the ground do our jobs successfully as is already recorded in the akashic records, this is the battle where we win. So step forward with confidence that we did this. We win. It is already over except for the physical process of living it out. You are the ones we are relying on to take up the rear of this exodus. And don't make the mistake of assuming you are merely following the herd: by keeping everyone in your sights, you give them all the strength to keep moving, because they know they have your watchful eye at their backs. Every single one of you are Alphas. No weaklings volunteered to enter behind enemy lines here, abandoned, mind-wiped and attacked since the day they are born. Only the most courageous across the cosmeias signed up for this penultimate battle, armed with absolutely nothing but your wits and willpower alone (and a few clair abilities we smuggled in with us to help us navigate the field). I'm not here to blow sunshine up your skirt, but when I tell you all you are Alphas OF the Alpha warriors, I mean you are the ones poets write songs about across the ages. Never forget you had this since before you were born and knew you could pull it off. Don't ever second-guess yourself on this legendary hero's journey that will still be taught about in schools a million years from now. You're here because only the toughest rawhide could have ever signed up for your mission and survived. The ones willing to brave everything. All alone on the trail.

So there is no way we (the foot soldiers) have of keeping track of how many have already ascended. But the top levels of this conflict do. You will not be vanishing this way. Because you are the extraction team itself. For more about your role in this rescue operation, see my article: 👉INDIGO MISSIONS. THE ALPHAS Wolf packs have an alpha leader that protects the whole group from attacks. The old, weak, infirmed & the very young pups. But the amazing thing is that alpha isn't at the head of the pack. That's where the most fragile travel, because predators never confront the ones at the lead of groups, they prey on the very back of any herd to pick off the slowest, least powerful. Which is why wolves travel oppositely from normal game and their strongest & most fearless remain solitary at the back of the line so he can visually see the entire group and protect them from outside exposure. If another predator tries to cull the group, they will face the herd's most apex force. That's us, the guardian alliance. Not breaking the trail, but overseeing everyone's safety so no one gets left behind which gives the entire group the confidence to keep moving forward. It is your presence behind them that lights the way for them to reach the exit door. Without your strength they can count on, very few, if any, would ever make it through Armageddon, which is a process to separate the wheat from the chaff so the aether knows what is the best stage for each person left on this simulation field to go to next. [For more about this process, see my article: 👉THE SEPARATION] You will be here until every single one of the prisoners who have a chance to raise their awareness to make the shift, has. Then, at the final second of separation where Particle Tara makes the full transition away from Antiparticle Tara (where all the low-frequency invaders and low-frequency abductees who were just unable to overcome the elaborate brainwashing programs to resonate with the next level of awareness finally vanish from your world), you will simply be in the next dimension with your group. That's when your next phase of your mission kicks in and you help them to build the 4th dimension. Your job is far from over after merely breaking them free of this bondage, because leaving them all abandoned in the wreckage of what is left of Particle Tara would be like delivering your rescue party into the jaws of yet another hostage scenario. They must understand how the 4th dimension even works, have industry set up so they can produce wholesome products instead of loosh-farm poisons and without you to help, that's a level that might take them a trillion years to reach on their own. You are the 4th dimension is so many words. As for the next level: it has already been established. What I mean by that, is time is not linear. Every dimension within the time matrix is mapped out, played out, recorded and then replayed on a never-ending loop. We STEP INTO that loop when we’re ready, as the path through has already been ironed out in the simulation. So you can think of time and events much like a Blockbuster Video store with 10,000 movies to choose from. Then inside each movie, there are 1000 scenes. You can simply pop the video into a player, zip to the scene by the lake and instantly you are there. Nothing about that scene hasn’t already been filmed and recorded. And it never stops playing out in the aetheric field. You are there RIGHT NOW in every possible scenario you could ever find yourself in, given your set of potential possibilities in a human body that is this tall and that strong or that fragile, etc. If it COULD happen, it already has happened and stored in the akashic records (the Blockbuster store), sitting there waiting for you to reach for that movie, then choose that scene and press play. I was told directly that not only is the full 4th dimension established, but it runs all the way from the 4.0 through to the 4.99 interdimension (think of this like from caveman to George Jetson eras), and “it is this generation who successfully established it”. Which simply means, that after 26 times we’ve battled for ascension during previous Stellar Activation Cycles and lost, it is on this attempt when we finally succeeded. What that means in real terms, is that as long as each of us on the ground do our jobs successfully as is already recorded in the akashic records, this is the battle where we win. So step forward with confidence that we did this. We win. It is already over except for the physical process of living it out. You are the ones we are relying on to take up the rear of this exodus. And don't make the mistake of assuming you are merely following the herd: by keeping everyone in your sights, you give them all the strength to keep moving, because they know they have your watchful eye at their backs. Every single one of you are Alphas. No weaklings volunteered to enter behind enemy lines here, abandoned, mind-wiped and attacked since the day they are born. Only the most courageous across the cosmeias signed up for this penultimate battle, armed with absolutely nothing but your wits and willpower alone (and a few clair abilities we smuggled in with us to help us navigate the field). I'm not here to blow sunshine up your skirt, but when I tell you all you are Alphas OF the Alpha warriors, I mean you are the ones poets write songs about across the ages. Never forget you had this since before you were born and knew you could pull it off. Don't ever second-guess yourself on this legendary hero's journey that will still be taught about in schools a million years from now. You're here because only the toughest rawhide could have ever signed up for your mission and survived. The ones willing to brave everything. All alone on the trail.

HYBE and Min Hee-jin NewJeans Controversy from the Perspective of a 20-Year Entertainment Industry Expert | Kim Yoon-ji, Senior Researcher at the Overseas Economic Research Institute of the Export-Import Bank of Korea #1 [Investment Insight] 증시각도기TV HYBE has shown a somewhat immature side throughout this process. The essence of the issue has become less important. Hello, viewers and investors of Stock TV. Recently, there has been a lot of societal concern about the entertainment industry. Last year, it did well, but the question remains about how it will fare this year. We’re joined by Kim Yoon-ji, Senior Researcher at the Korea Eximbank Overseas Economic Research Institute, to discuss this. Welcome. Today, I brought a drink because this topic is not easy to discuss soberly. The situation between HYBE, Min Hee-jin, and NewJeans has escalated, and unfortunately, it’s no longer just management fighting but the artists have joined the fray. I’ve heard from someone in the industry that the close relationship between a producer and an artist is inevitable. In the past, there have been similar cases where producers and artists were tightly knit. Now, something similar has happened with Min Hee-jin and HYBE. Most people outside the industry don’t know the exact terms of the contract between Min Hee-jin and HYBE. As my own son works in the entertainment field, I’m well aware of how important it is to work with a good producer. For a company like HYBE, which has invested tens or even hundreds of billions of won, it’s unthinkable that they would allow NewJeans to separate and go independent after establishing their position. Many in the industry agree that this doesn’t make sense. To the general public, NewJeans might seem like the underdogs, and people might feel they should be allowed to leave. But from the perspective of the entertainment industry, which requires substantial capital to grow, the relationship between investors and artists is key. You can’t discuss this industry without acknowledging the role of investors. This case is different from situations where individual members leave, as seen in the past with groups that had Chinese members. This isn’t about a single member leaving; it’s more about the fact that, in this industry, the producers are as important as the artists themselves. From the beginning, NewJeans has been marketed as Min Hee-jin’s girl group, so the idea of them continuing without her feels different. We need to approach this from a different angle. That said, it doesn’t mean HYBE should completely cut ties. Many people have different initial thoughts about the situation, but the core issue here is the importance of the relationship between producers and the company, especially when substantial investment is involved. From my perspective, the fundamental question is: what exactly was attempted? I still find this unclear. In any company, it's common to hear people say, "I want to quit, I can't work with this boss, I'm leaving tomorrow." We all talk about this with friends or colleagues. Sometimes, we even ask others to let us know if there’s a good opportunity elsewhere. But actually submitting a resignation is a whole different issue. But in the new premise, I still wonder what exactly they were trying to do. What exactly was attempted? We always talk about it at work, right? "I'm going to quit. I can't work with that boss anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow." We always have those conversations. We talk about it with our friends, with team members, and even ask friends outside of work to let us know if they hear of any good positions. But actually submitting a resignation is a whole different issue, isn't it? Looking at how the situation first unfolded, it seems like HYBE was the one to bring things to light. They shared a lot with the press, and Min Hee-jin, the CEO, responded with a strong counterstatement. HYBE was saying, "Min Hee-jin is trying to do this and that," but CEO Min was like, "What else have I done apart from that message on KakaoTalk?" The court also judged that they weren't sure what actions had actually been attempted. To me, this seems like the fact of the matter. Clearly, HYBE's relationship with CEO Min Hee-jin might not be good. There could have been friction about how a subsidiary operates so independently from the parent company. There were likely various issues internally, but they should have been resolved within the company without making the problems visible externally. The fact that they let it spill outside before resolving it was a huge mistake on HYBE's part, revealing weaknesses in their management abilities. In my view, this has greatly devalued HYBE, becoming a powerful force that has dragged down their valuation. Throughout this process, HYBE displayed a level of immaturity, and the core of the issue became less important. The real concern for investors now is whether the company can effectively handle issues like these. Once this problem is resolved, can the remaining HYBE groups continue to grow securely? This business is all about reputation. HYBE is now seen as a company that ousts female CEOs simply because she didn't follow their orders. That perception leaves a lasting impression on people's minds, damaging the company's future operations. From an investor's perspective, two major incidents have happened in quick succession. The first was the boost in value during 2020 when HYBE sold a huge number of albums during COVID-19, creating the sense that the entertainment industry was Korea's next big sector. But then, this recent issue with Min Hee-jin, alongside BLACKPINK's contract situation, has put a serious damper on things. BLACKPINK didn't renew their contract as a group, and though they claim to continue working together in some capacity, it's not the same as before. YG Entertainment's profitability has plummeted, revealing how dependent they were on BLACKPINK. This has left investors wondering whether the entertainment business is just a limited-time, seven-year affair. If BLACKPINK had carried on smoothly into the next generation, it would have seemed like a sustainable business, and investors would have continued to trust in the long-term future of Korean entertainment. But now, we're seeing the cracks in that perception. It’s become a question of how to invest in a business with a lifespan of only seven years, when even the manufacturing industry lasts longer than that. The BLACKPINK incident and the NewJeans situation have both severely harmed investor confidence. HYBE's struggles with its artists are analogous to a manufacturing company facing a revolt from its workers. When investors look at this instability, they start questioning whether the business is even viable. The concept of sustainability has been seriously undermined, and the fact that the seven-year contract issue has been a long-standing concern doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. What used to reassure investors was the belief that when a seven-year contract ended, the company would already have the next seven years planned out, ready to sustain their business. That faith in the big entertainment companies has been shaken. Achieving the kind of success that BTS or BLACKPINK did is incredibly difficult, and passing the baton to the next generation is no simple task. Even though investors had faith that YG would produce another BLACKPINK-level group, now that trust is faltering. However, I do think people are now looking at contracts a bit differently. In the past, when a group disbanded, the members would scatter. But now, groups like BLACKPINK continue to work together even while pursuing solo projects. This shows that they understand the importance of sticking together, and I thought that this might help extend the longevity of these groups. But in reality, very few cases of disbanded groups have seen much success with individual members pursuing separate careers. There aren’t many examples where groups have stayed active for long, especially when individual members run into personal issues. Take Big Bang, for instance—they’ve been around for a while, but their personal scandals have made it hard for the group to recover fully. In the entertainment business, it’s rare for groups to last more than seven years, and age is also a factor. Once a group surpasses the seven-year mark, the members tend to be quite a bit older. With BTS, they need to show a fresh side if they’re to keep running strong. One of the most disheartening things mentioned by the members was that they didn’t feel respected. This ties into a larger issue in our society, as we're seeing with the national discussion around workplace bullying. If we think about how BTS achieved success, it's clear why this is such a serious issue. Back when BTS rose to fame, they shared how they weren’t from one of the top three agencies and positioned themselves as underdogs who worked hard to gain recognition. This resonated with many young people who felt that if you work hard enough, you can succeed, even without the backing of a major company. This message gave hope to many, not only in Korea but also globally. BTS’s fan base, especially in the U.S., includes many people who identify as outsiders, those who don’t feel they belong to the mainstream—whether in terms of race, culture, or social standing. For them, BTS was a source of inspiration, showing that you can still succeed even if you start from the margins. With NewJeans, though there’s talk about Min Hee-jin, the allegations of bullying within the company are hitting a sensitive nerve for fans. It’s unfortunate that the company allowed things to reach a point where such accusations were made. Even if the situation was mostly an internal conflict among the adults in charge, they should have handled it better to avoid involving the artists. In the past, we've seen similar issues, like with Big Bang’s various scandals, which were almost at the level of criminal activity. The current situation with NewJeans might not be as severe, but bullying and exclusion are still serious concerns. Ultimately, experiences like these can serve as valuable lessons for the entertainment industry. This situation has highlighted that the entertainment business is fundamentally about human relationships. From the artists to the products they create, everything revolves around people. The moment someone’s feelings are hurt or relationships are damaged, the entire business can collapse. The entertainment business is all about personal connections, something I've always believed. Recently, I heard about Naver Webtoon’s global success, and it's fascinating to think about how it has outgrown Kakao Webtoon, despite being a later player. Many factors contributed to this success, but someone mentioned that webtoons are also a "personal connection" business. Webtoon creators are tough to manage—they're artists, after all, and keeping them on schedule, especially with weekly deadlines, is a challenging task. CEO Kim Joong has managed to nurture relationships with these creators, making personal connections the backbone of the business. In the entertainment industry, particularly with idols, you can't overlook the importance of personal relationships. The key skill for managing this industry is the ability to connect deeply with both the creators and the artists. HYBE, for instance, doesn’t just need skilled managers who are good with finance or operations. What they truly need are people who can foster those personal relationships, especially when they’re dealing with artists as young as 13 or 15. It’s about ensuring that these young talents feel understood and cared for, so they can be inspired to do their best work. Managing young artists is tricky because their idea of success might be completely different from what adults think. A 13-year-old might not care about owning multiple houses—they might just want to spend time with their family or have the freedom to eat out whenever they want. The manager’s job is to tap into what motivates them and help them thrive in a way that’s meaningful to them. This kind of nurturing is not easy to scale. When a company grows too big, it’s challenging to maintain those close relationships. That's why multi-label approaches, like those seen in large entertainment agencies, are supposed to help. But if personal connections within those labels break down, the whole system can fall apart. This business model seems uniquely suited to Korea. It’s hard to imagine it working the same way in Japan, where there's a more hierarchical, command-driven structure. Japan's entertainment industry often depends on strong, central producers who direct everything. In contrast, Korean idols often rise through collective effort and personal connection, like BTS did. Despite the challenges, I believe Korea’s entertainment sector has room for long-term growth. Many of today’s youth are drawn to this field because it allows them to express their talents and passions. If scandals like the one with NewJeans continue to arise, however, it might dissuade some young people from pursuing these dreams. When you look at what NewJeans members have said, there’s not much to disagree with. They simply want to keep doing what they’ve always done and follow their own creative paths. Ensuring they have the freedom to do so can lead to even greater success. These days, if you ask middle or elementary school students what they want to be when they grow up, many of them will say they want to become idols or YouTubers. They believe that with enough effort, they can make it. The entertainment industry needs to be able to channel that passion and potential into something positive. If Min Hee-jin were to leave HYBE, it’s clear that many companies would be eager to work with her. She mentioned once that “everyone is crazy about money,” and I think that’s why there would be a long line of people wanting to meet with her if she decided to move on. Right now, for example, there are people in the entertainment industry, like CJ, who may not have fully established themselves, or even private investors, just waiting for an opportunity. Many of them are keeping an eye on Min Hee-jin leaving HYBE. This was evident during the recent Tokyo performance, where her creativity was on full display. It was incomparable. That’s why this situation is even more unfortunate. Some people say, "If it wasn’t for the money, how could that group have been created?" But I believe there are people who could have made it happen with or without money. That’s the crucial difference in this case. While I'm not an expert, I was touched by the process of recreating a hit song from a legendary Japanese female singer from the '80s. It felt like a major event. It was amazing because I had never seen anything like it before. Even though I wasn’t familiar with the original song, just seeing it was enough to draw in so much attention and make it feel like a historic moment. That’s what talent is—turning something simple, like a cover song, into a major event. I remember thinking, "How do the Japanese people feel about this?" because the crowd's reaction was incredible. The enthusiasm was surprising, and I wondered what they were thinking while watching it. This is the true power of Korean culture—it’s not just about promoting our own culture but also deeply resonating with others. The entertainment industry’s core business is making audiences happy and even obsessed. Min Hee-jin is undeniably a top-tier artist in this field. If she were to leave HYBE, there would be countless opportunities for her. But if HYBE mishandles this situation, it won’t just be about losing one person—it could destabilize everything. They really need to handle this carefully. As for stocks and investments, that's up to everyone’s individual decisions. We're just having a casual chat here about the entertainment industry. As someone with a child in the business and another who's analyzed the industry, we’re just relaxing with a casual discussion. So, let’s pour a drink and enjoy this conversation.

SHE SAID IT. SHE WORKED FOR IT. SHE DID IT: FELI NANDI’S JOURNEY TO THE HICC In 2020, while still a backing vocalist, Feli Nandi made a bold declaration during an In Her Own Words interview with Stan Joni: “I might not be the best musician in the world or the best female musician in Zimbabwe, but I’m going to be a voice that is going to be heard.” Her philosophy was simple: you don't prove society wrong by arguing or constantly defending yourself. You work hard, stay focused and let the results speak. “Results, results, results, results,” she said. Six years later, those results are speaking loudly. Feli's journey did not begin at the Rainbow Towers’ HICC a place where she had once worked as a waitress. She spent years behind other artists as a backing vocalist, working with several acts, including Mokoomba and, most notably, Mbeu and the Mhodzi Tribe, before stepping out to patiently build Feli Nandi the solo artist. She built her career stage by stage. There were intimate concerts at Theatre in the Park some successful, others not before moving to the Rainbow Towers VIP Lounge and eventually filling 7 Arts Theatre multiple times. Bigger events, international tours, awards and an increasingly busy performance calendar followed, establishing her as one of Zimbabwe's most sought-after female live performers. Along the way, Feli steadily built a catalogue and, importantly, an audience. That makes filling the HICC on 14 August 2026 even more significant. She didn't arrive there riding on one massive current hit song. She arrived backed by something harder to build: a loyal fanbase, a solid catalogue and a powerful community that believes in her music. The fans who bought tickets, shared the campaign, brought friends and showed up deserve their flowers. So does the machinery behind the artist: solid management, her band and production team, strong industry relationships, a positive reputation and brand, and everyone working behind the scenes. Careers of this magnitude are never built by one person. They require vision, discipline, relationships, teamwork and people willing to believe in the dream. For a female artist operating in Zimbabwe's so-called secular music space, filling the HICC is a huge milestone. It expands what seems possible for other women coming behind her and challenges assumptions about who can headline major venues and command audiences at that scale. Ahead of the concert, Feli told EARGROUND TV that the night would be about pouring eight years of their journey onto one stage reflecting on where they had come from and appreciating everyone who had walked with them. On 14 August, that reflection became a celebration. From backing vocalist to filling the HICC. Not overnight. Not because of one song. But through years of consistency, courage, community, teamwork and hard work. Feli Nandi's journey is a reminder that you don't have to answer every doubt or fight every opinion. Sometimes you simply keep building until the results become your answer. Results. Results. Results. Plot Mhako Feli Nandi

Ren Susu, to me, is like a candle in a dark room. She was never afraid of giving people warmth, even if every act of kindness meant another piece of herself melted away. She spent so much of her life becoming light for others that she never noticed she was slowly disappearing. By the time everyone thank her for her glow, there was barely anything left of her. Love, happiness, and peace all feel temporary to her, as though they were never meant to belong in her life for long. So instead of waiting for fate to take them away, she lets go first. It isn’t because she doesn’t love deeply. It’s because she believes the people she loves would be safer without her. She is brave. She has never hesitated to do what she believes is right, even when it demands impossible sacrifices. Like Qingyi, she has an incredibly strong sense of justice, and she spends much of her life living for other people too. The difference is that Qingyi learned to give because he believed love had to be earned, while Susu learned to sacrifice because she believed her own happiness always came at someone else’s expense. She doesn’t put herself last because she is naturally selfless. She does it because she no longer believes she should come first. When she learns that Qingyi’s tendons were severed by the Huo family. She quietly asks herself, “What if, back then, I had pretended not to know you?” I think that single line tells us everything about how her mind works. There are endless what ifs inside her head. Little by little, those questions begin to erase the person she used to be because she genuinely believes that every tragedy suffered by the people she loves somehow starts with her. When something terrible happens, most of us instinctively ask, “Who did this?” Susu asks something entirely different, “What if I hadn’t done this?” She doesn’t look outward for someone to blame. She turns inward first. Every accident becomes her responsibility, every loss becomes evidence that she should have made a different choice, and every sacrifice someone makes for her becomes another reason to believe she only brings misfortune into other people’s lives. That’s why she keeps pushing Qingyi away. It was never because she didn’t love him. She loved him too much. She simply believed that loving her meant suffering because of her. In her eyes, she is a burden. A jinx. Someone whose existence inevitably invites tragedy. How could she allow the person she loves to stay beside her when she truly believes staying will only destroy him? Susu carries guilt in a way that borders on unbearable. It feels like survivor’s guilt taken to its absolute extreme. She takes responsibility for things that were never hers to carry and wears them as though they are debts she will spend the rest of her life repaying. One of her defining traits is that she constantly chooses to be misunderstood. She would rather let people resent her than watch them get hurt because of her. If becoming the villain in someone else’s story means they get to live, she will accept that role without ever trying to explain herself. To her, being hated has always felt more bearable than watching someone she loves pay the price for staying by her side. I think a lot of that can be traced back to her childhood. When she enters the orphanage, survival becomes the only thing that matters. It teaches her a lesson that feelings are a luxury, but survival comes first. In a place where every day is about making it through tomorrow, there is very little room for vulnerability. You learn to suppress your own needs because everyone around you is already struggling to survive. It isn’t difficult to imagine how someone raised in that environment would grow into an adult who constantly chooses everyone else before herself. That’s exactly who Susu becomes. Every decision she makes revolves around protecting someone else. For Qingyi. For Fang Mulan. For the girls. For her family. For Uncle Fang. For everyone except herself.

A 250-pound wild animal just walked through a parking lot full of strangers, ignored every rule it was born with, and did something that should be biologically impossible. Nobody screamed. Nobody ran. Nobody reached for a phone fast enough. Except one person. And that one person is the reason you are reading this. Before I tell you why this clip is going to wreck your afternoon, I need you to understand one thing: this was not a petting zoo. This was not a farm. This was not a trained animal with a handler hiding behind a bush. This was a Tuesday-evening parking lot. Asphalt. Painted white lines. Open car doors. Somebody's groceries still in the trunk. And a wild buck with a full set of antlers decided the safest place in the entire valley was right next to us. Read that again. Then keep reading, because the part that made me stop scrolling is not the animal. It's what the human did next. THE RULE EVERY WILD ANIMAL FOLLOWS (UNTIL THIS ONE DIDN'T) Here is the deal every deer on Earth signs at birth. Rule one: humans are predators. Rule two: predators are to be avoided at a distance of at least a hundred yards. Rule three: if rules one and two fail, run, and ask questions never. A deer that breaks those rules does not get to pass its genes along. That is not poetry. That is the math of survival. For about ten million years, the deer that stayed wary lived, and the deer that got curious became dinner. So when you see a mature buck, with a rack that took an entire summer to grow, walk across open pavement toward a human being, you are not watching a cute moment. You are watching a hundred-million-dollar evolutionary security system get overridden in real time. Something switched off. And I want to know what. Because here is what the biologists will tell you: wild animals do not walk up to people by accident. They calculate. Every step. Every ear flick. Every pause. A deer's entire life is a risk assessment that never stops running, not even when it sleeps. This one ran the numbers. And the numbers said: go. That is the first thing that should bother you. The second thing is worse. WHAT A MULE DEER SEES THAT YOU DON'T Let's talk about the animal itself, because most people have no idea what they are looking at. This is a mule deer. Not the white-tailed deer from your grandmother's backyard that eats her tulips. Mule deer are the big-country cousin. The western ones. The ones that live where the land is steep, dry, and unforgiving. They are named for the ears. Enormous, mule-sized ears that swivel independently, like two satellite dishes aimed at different threats at the same time. One ear can be tracking a car door slamming while the other is tracking a branch snapping a hundred feet behind it. Think about that. While you were reading this sentence, a mule deer would have processed about forty things you never noticed. Their antlers are a different story entirely. Mule deer antlers do not grow like a hat rack, with one main beam and short spikes. They fork. Then they fork again. Every branch splits into two, like a river delta made of bone. Biologists call it dichotomous branching, and it is one of the fastest ways to tell a mule deer from any other deer in North America. And here is the part that gets me every time. That entire rack, the weight, the bone, the symmetry, grows back from scratch every single year. It falls off in winter. It regrows in spring. By late summer it is a fully hardened weapon, and the velvet that fed it peels off in strips. Antlers are one of the fastest-growing tissues in the entire mammal kingdom. A living thing is building bone faster than almost anything else on the planet, and it does it every year, on a diet of grass, shrubs, and whatever it can find. Now picture the animal carrying all that, taking a slow, deliberate stroll through a place built entirely for humans. You would expect panic. You would expect the sprint. Mule deer do not run like other deer. They bounce. It is called stotting, all four hooves hitting the ground and launching off at the same time, like four pogo sticks fused together. It lets them take off uphill, over rocks, over fences, at speeds past thirty-five miles an hour. This animal could have been gone in two seconds. It chose not to be. THE PARKING LOT NOBODY WARNED YOU ABOUT I need to explain something about the setting, because it changes everything. A parking lot is the single most hostile environment a wild deer can walk into. It has no cover. It has no escape routes. It has hard surfaces that echo every sound. It has engines, doors, keys, and sudden movements from every angle. It smells like exhaust, oil, rubber, perfume, fast food, and sunscreen. Every instinct a deer owns says: do not go there. And yet they do. More and more of them. In towns across the West, deer have learned that the same open space that feels dangerous also has something they cannot find in the wild: reliable, concentrated minerals. Salt, in particular. Which brings me to the secret that explains half the strange deer behavior you will ever see. DEER ARE ADDICTED TO SALT, AND YOU ARE COVERED IN IT Wild deer are chronically short on sodium. The plants they eat are rich in potassium and poor in salt, which means their bodies are constantly hunting for it, the way you would hunt for water in a desert. That craving is so strong that deer will travel miles for a salt lick. They will chew on road shoulders that were salted for winter ice. They will lick rocks, soil, cattle blocks, and, yes, the sweaty palm of a stranger. Your skin is a salt block with a pulse. Sweat is salty. Sunscreen is salty. Hand lotion is salty. The residue left on a car door handle from a thousand different hands is salty. And a deer's nose is roughly fifty times more sensitive than yours, which means that where you smell nothing, it smells a buffet. So when a deer walks up to a person and licks them, the cute story is: it trusts you. The honest story is: it has just identified you as a resource. And that is where this gets interesting, because both of those stories can be true at once. And the gap between them is exactly where the danger lives. I will get to that. But first I want to talk about the October problem. WHY THIS HAPPENED NOW, IN THIS EXACT WEEK Timing matters. This was not shot in June. This was shot in the weeks leading up to the rut. The rut is the mating season, and for mule deer it kicks into gear in the late fall. In the weeks before it, a buck's body becomes a chemistry experiment. Testosterone surges. The neck swells to nearly twice its normal width. Appetite explodes, then collapses. Bucks that spent the summer in friendly bachelor groups start sizing each other up like boxers at a weigh-in. And here is the part nobody puts in the viral captions: bucks in the pre-rut and rut do strange things. They stop eating normally. They stop sleeping normally. They take risks they would never take in July. They cross highways. They chase. They ignore threats they would normally flee from. Sometimes that makes them aggressive. Sometimes it makes them bold in a calm, almost dreamy way, drifting through human spaces like they have somewhere to be and nobody on Earth will stop them. Wildlife officers across the country put out the same warning every fall: the most dangerous time to be near a deer is the exact time they look the most relaxed around you. Hold that thought. Because the clip you are about to watch lives right on that line. THE MOMENT THAT BROKE THE INTERNET'S BRAIN I have been posting on this platform for over a decade. I have watched thousands of animal videos. I know what a staged one looks like. I know what an edited one looks like. I know what a clip looks like when somebody has been feeding the animal for three weeks and is milking it for views. This is not that. What makes this different is the absence of anything staged. There is no music cue. There is no hero shot. The camera is not steady. The person filming is clearly not planning anything. The deer is not being led, called, baited, or coaxed. It is just there. And the people near it do the one thing nobody expects: they let it be. If you have ever tried to take a photo of a wild animal, you know how rare that is. The first instinct of almost every human is to move closer, reach, wave, call out, make noise. We cannot help ourselves. We are the most invasive species on the planet, and we think of ourselves as the gentle ones. Not here. Here, someone stood still. STILLNESS IS THE MOST POWERFUL THING A HUMAN CAN DO This is going to sound like a TED Talk, and I do not care. In the wild, the single most reliable signal of safety is stillness. Think about it from the deer's point of view. Predators move. Wolves, cougars, coyotes, they stalk, they creep, they accelerate. A thing that is standing completely still, with soft posture, no direct stare, and no sudden hand motions, is statistically not hunting. Hunters know this. Photographers know this. Anyone who has ever sat motionless in a blind for six hours and watched an entire forest go back to normal around them knows this. When you stop moving, the world forgets you are a threat. That is the entire secret. It is not magic. It is not a special bond. It is not some gift a few people have. It is patience, expressed as a body. And it is so rare that when we see it, we film it, and then we pass it around like a miracle. I want you to sit with that for a second. We are so unused to calm that watching one person stay calm near a wild animal feels like footage of something supernatural. Maybe that is why this clip is going the way it is going. Maybe it is not really about the deer. THE THING YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO (AND WHY I NEED TO SAY IT) Now I am going to be the bad guy for a minute, and I am going to do it because I would rather annoy you today than see a headline about you tomorrow. Do not feed wild deer. Not apples. Not carrots. Not crackers. Not that sad half-sandwich you are not going to finish. Not anything. It is illegal in many states, and the fines are real. But the law is not even the main reason. The main reason is what feeding does to the animal. A deer that gets fed by humans learns one lesson, and it learns it fast: people mean food. That lesson is permanent. It does not go away in the winter. It does not go away when the apples run out. It follows that animal to the road, to the neighbor's dog, to the kid with a plate of cookies who does not know better. The next stop in that chain is almost always the same: an animal that is no longer afraid, in a place where fear was the only thing keeping it alive. Biologists have a name for it. Habituation. And in places where it has taken hold, it has produced bucks that charge people over a sandwich, does that stomp dogs to death, and fawns that grow up believing the safest place in the world is a human porch. Every one of those stories ends badly. Almost always for the deer. Wildlife agencies relocate habituated animals only rarely, and relocation often fails. Many are euthanized. A fed deer is, very often, a dead deer, and the person who fed it never finds out. That is the unfair math. The human gets a story. The animal gets the bill. THE INVISIBLE PROBLEM IN A DEER'S MOUTH There is a second reason, and it is the one that makes biologists genuinely lose sleep. It is called chronic wasting disease. CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer, elk, and moose. It is caused by a misfolded protein called a prion, the same class of infectious agent behind mad cow disease. There is no vaccine. There is no cure. Infected animals lose weight, lose coordination, lose fear of humans, and eventually die. It has been found in dozens of states and a growing list of countries. And it spreads in the most ordinary way imaginable: through saliva, urine, feces, and contaminated soil. The prions can persist in the environment for years. Which means that a deer licking something is not a harmless gesture. It is a transfer of material. In one direction or the other. And in places where animals crowd around the same feeding spot, the same hand, the same parking lot, they swap disease the way kids swap germs in a classroom. To date, there has been no confirmed case of CWD infecting a human. Health agencies still recommend not eating meat from infected animals, and they keep monitoring the situation, because prion diseases have a nasty history of surprising us. I am not saying this to ruin a good clip. I am saying it because the same clip that makes your heart melt could also be a warning label for the entire ecosystem, and almost nobody will say that part out loud. So hold both truths. They are both real. WHY YOU CANNOT STOP WATCHING Let me tell you what I think is actually going on in your brain when you watch something like this. Humans are wired for one very specific kind of story: the one where a thing that should be dangerous chooses gentleness. It is the oldest story we have. It is the lion lying down with the lamb. It is the dog who guarded the first fire. It is the wolf who walked toward a campsite twenty thousand years ago and, according to one version of history, became every dog you have ever loved. Every time we see a wild creature step across the line between wild and safe, something ancient in us goes quiet and warm. It feels like being forgiven for something we cannot name. That is why the comment sections under videos like this fill up with the same four words: I need this energy. People are not craving deer. They are craving that feeling of being unafraid and being met with kindness in return. The parking lot is just the stage. And the stage is brilliant, because it is so ordinary. You do not need a mountain. You do not need a safari. You do not need a rare permit. You need a Tuesday, a patch of asphalt, and the willingness to stand still. WHAT THE ANIMAL KNEW THE WHOLE TIME I want to say something about the deer itself, because I think we skip over it. Everything about that animal's body language, in every second of footage, says the same thing: it is paying attention. Not to the camera. Not to the cars. Not to the noise. To the people near it. Look at the ears. Look at where the eyes are pointing. Look at the way the head dips and lifts. That is not an animal in a trance. That is a mind running, carefully, through a list of questions. Is this person tense? Is this person holding anything? Is this person looking directly at me? Is this person moving toward me, or letting me move toward them? Deer read posture the way you read a face. They can tell the difference between a hand that is reaching to grab and a hand that is simply resting. They can tell the difference between a person who wants something and a person who is simply there. And every answer that animal got, in every second, was the same answer: you are fine. That is the story. Not that the deer was tame. That the humans, for those few moments, were safe. THE DEBATE THAT IS ALREADY TEARING THE COMMENTS APART Every clip like this splits the internet into two camps within about ninety seconds. I have seen it a hundred times. Here is what each side says, and I want you to notice that both of them have a point. Camp one: this is beautiful. A wild animal chose peace. A human responded with respect. Nobody got hurt, nobody got chased, nobody got fed, and for forty-eight seconds the world made sense. Let people have one good thing. Camp two: this is a problem dressed as a miracle. Deer in parking lots are deer near traffic. Deer near people are deer that end up in the news for the wrong reasons. Clips like this teach thousands of viewers that walking up to a wild animal is safe, and a few of them will try it with the wrong animal, at the wrong time of year, with the wrong amount of confidence. Both camps are right. That is why the argument never ends. Here is where I land, and you can disagree with me: the clip is not the danger. The lesson people take from the clip is the danger. Watch it as a gift. Do not copy it as a recipe. A wild animal doing something remarkable is not an invitation. It is a moment. And moments do not repeat on command. THE NUMBER THAT SHOULD SCARE YOU MORE THAN ANY ANTLER If you want to know what the real risk around deer is, forget the antlers. Look at the road. In the United States, drivers hit more than a million deer a year. Roughly two hundred people die in those collisions annually, and tens of thousands are injured. The damage runs into the billions. Deer do not understand roads. They understand grass on one side and water on the other. A parking lot is a road with a nicer logo. And here is the brutal part: an animal that has lost its fear of people has also lost its fear of the machines people drive. A deer that walks calmly between parked cars is a deer that will walk calmly in front of a truck. That is not drama. That is the exact reason wildlife managers hate the word cute. So the next time you see a deer standing beside a busy road, calm and curious and apparently unbothered, do not read it as a sign of peace. Read it as a countdown. THE TOWN THAT BECAME A DEER TOWN There is a reason this keeps happening in the same kinds of places. Across the American West, towns have spread into the exact valleys that deer used for winter range. Sidewalks replaced meadows. Lawns replaced native grass. Landscaping replaced sagebrush, and landscaping, it turns out, is delicious. Deer are not invading anything. They are loyal to land that was theirs long before the parking lot was poured. Think about what that means. These animals have been walking the same routes for generations. Their mothers walked them. Their grandmothers walked them. And now those routes pass through a grocery store lot, a gas station, a church, an elementary school. Wildlife biologists call this the urban edge, and it is one of the strangest laboratories on Earth. Deer there live longer, because there are fewer predators. They breed more, because there is more food. They lose their fear, because nothing has hurt them yet. And then something does. Understanding that makes the clip heavier. Because the animal you are about to watch is not a creature of the wild and not a creature of the town. It is something new, shaped by both, and we do not yet have a word for it. THE FIVE-SECOND RULE FOR MEETING A WILD ANIMAL Fine. You are going to see a deer one day. Maybe tonight. Maybe next to your car. What do you do? Here is the short version, straight from the people who do this for a living. One. Stop. Do not rush toward it. Do not wave. Do not call it over. Every second you stay calm is a second the animal stays calm. Two. Give it space. Wildlife agencies generally recommend at least twenty-five yards from deer, elk, and similar large animals. That is about the length of two buses. If you are closer than that and it is approaching you, you are not in charge of the situation anymore. Three. Keep your hands to yourself. No reaching. No offering. No touching. The moment you put a hand toward a wild animal you have stopped being a bystander and started being a variable. Four. Never, ever, feed it. We covered this. It is the single worst thing you can do for the animal. Five. Leave the way you came. Slowly. Do not turn it into a chase. Do not follow for a better angle. Do not crowd it for a photo. That is the whole list. Five rules, all of them free, none of them hard. And almost nobody follows them. WHY THE BEST WILDLIFE FOOTAGE IS ALWAYS ACCIDENTAL I want to tell you something I have learned from a decade of watching content go viral. The best clips are never planned. Not the ones with a million likes. Not the ones with ten million. The ones that stay in your head for a week are almost always filmed by someone who did not know they were filming anything special. Because planning kills the thing we are actually watching for: the unscripted instant when reality does something the script would never allow. Look at how this one is shot. Vertical. Handheld. A little shaky. The framing is slightly off. The sun is in the wrong place. The audio picks up whatever happened to be nearby. A professional would have thrown it away. And yet that imperfection is exactly why it works. It tells your brain: this happened. Nobody arranged this. Nobody had time to. In an age when everything online feels manufactured, raw footage of a real moment is the rarest luxury we have. THREE THINGS TO WATCH FOR (WITHOUT ME SPOILING ANYTHING) I promised I would not describe the clip. I am a man of my word. But I will give you three things to watch for, so you do not miss what makes it special. First, watch the distance. Notice how close the animal is willing to get, and then ask yourself how close you would let a wild thing get before your instincts took over. Second, watch the stillness. Not the animal's. The people's. See how little they move, and how much that tiny amount of movement matters. Third, watch the last few seconds. That is where everything changes. That is where the clip stops being a cute animal video and becomes something else entirely, something I have not been able to shake since I first saw it. If you only watch one thing today, make it that. THE QUESTION THAT HAUNTS ME I keep coming back to one question. Why do we need clips like this? We have more access to nature footage than any generation in history. We have documentaries filmed from satellites and cameras that can follow a snow leopard across a Himalayan ridge. We can watch anything, anywhere, in ultra-high definition. And yet a shaky vertical video from a parking lot hits harder than any of it. I think the reason is simple. A documentary shows you nature as something far away. A parking lot shows you nature as something that can touch your life on an ordinary day. We spend most of our lives sealed inside cars, offices, and screens. We have built a world designed to keep the wild out. And every so often, the wild walks up to the door, shrugs, and says: still here. That is why we stop. That is why we watch. That is why we send it to our mothers. It is not really a video about a deer. It is a video about the thin line between the world we built and the world we came from, and the quiet, shocking moment when one steps across it. WHY THIS CLIP WILL OUTLIVE THE WEEK Most viral videos burn out in a day. They spike, they get stolen, they get reposted with a siren emoji, and by Friday nobody can remember what they were about. A few do not. The ones that last share a single trait: they give you a story you can retell in one sentence. A deer walked up to a stranger in a parking lot, and the stranger did everything right. That is it. That is the whole pitch. You will say it out loud to somebody at dinner. They will ask to see it. And the cycle will start again. I have watched that pattern build empires. I have never once seen it fail. THE LAST THING I WILL SAY BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY If you take nothing else from this post, take this. Wild animals are not props. They are not pets. They are not mascots. They are not content, even when they make great content. They are neighbors with a very different set of rules, and they are doing their best in a world that keeps changing underneath them. The ones that show up in parking lots are not ambassadors. They are survivors, figuring out a landscape that was redrawn without their consent. When one of them meets a human with calm and respect, and nobody gets hurt, that is not a trick of the algorithm. That is a rare, fragile, genuinely good thing. So watch the clip. Watch it once for the animal. Watch it again for the people. Then watch it a third time and ask yourself the question I cannot stop asking: What would I have done? Would you have stayed still? Would you have reached out? Would you have backed away? Would you have grabbed your phone, or would you have forgotten you owned one? Be honest. Most of us would have gotten it wrong. Drop your answer below. I read every reply, and the best ones will be pinned. And if this post made you feel something, even a little, send it to the one person you know who still believes the world has room for quiet miracles. They need to see this. Everyone does. Now press play, and tell me what you saw. P.S. If you have ever stood still in front of a wild animal and felt the whole world go quiet, you already know what I am talking about. Tell me where it happened, what it was, and how long the moment lasted. I collect these stories, and the strangest one gets its own post tomorrow.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: The untold story of the FBI’s J6 pipe bomber “Person of Interest #2”🚨 If what the FBI’s January 6 pipe bomber “Person of Interest #2” (POI2) told me about his FBI interview is true, there is further proof that the Bureau has covered up, or “deleted,” additional video footage about what happened when the RNC pipe bomb was allegedly discovered by Karlin Younger on January 6, 2021. I will not reveal the identity or any other identifying information about the FBI’s POI2 in the January 6 pipe bomb saga. I also won't discuss the full five hours of personal interview time with POI2; instead, I will focus on two key pieces of information he gave me. As a primer for those not already following this story in detail, here is a brief rundown of the facts in POI2’s case and why the FBI was initially interested in him as a “person of interest”: -POI2 does not live in the Greater D.C. area. He lives in a large American city in a state that does not border D.C. -From news releases, congressional reports, FBI statements, and an FBI whistleblower disclosure, we know that POI2 was visiting a lifelong acquaintance (POI3) at his residence in Fall Church, VA, over the course of January 4 - 7, 2021. -POI2 used POI3’s Metrorail card for travel back and forth to the District on the 5th and 6th. -POI2 caught the attention of law enforcement investigators when he emerged from D.C.’s Metro South rail station on January 5, changed hats and put on dark sunglasses, then beelined straight across the street from the station into the Rumsey Court alley behind the Republican National Committee headquarters. It was in that alley that POI2 began taking photos of “numbers.” Numbers on trash cans, dumpsters, door addresses, and the like. According to the FBI, POI2 planned to use those photographs in a forthcoming book. (To date, that book has not been published.) Then, after walking around Capitol Hill all day long, and even attending some of the J5 protest events, POI2 ducked back into the same alley for a few minutes — after dark — before returning to the Metro South station across the street from the RNC. He returned to Falls Church via the train, where POI3 picked him up by car, and they went back to POI3’s home. POI2 then returned to DC the next morning to attend Trump’s speech at The Ellipse on the 6th. -POI2 was cleared of suspicion following two FBI interviews on January 19, 2021, at his residence in his home city. These interviews took place six days after the FBI pulled their Special Operations Group (SOG) surveillance team off POI3’s home on January 13, just two days after they were deployed to watch the infamous Falls Church, VA condominium address where we now know POI3 shared a firewall between his address and the then residence of former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff. The subject of our November 8, 2025 story published by Blaze Media. How I came to spend five hours with POI2 I met with POI2 twice, on December 11 and 12, 2025. On the 11th, a member of our team accompanied me: a retired FBI veteran of 25 years now working as a private investigator. That first interview lasted for three hours, and then the next day I met with POI2, just him and me, for another two hours. I arrived in POI2’s home city on the 10th to do some early recon. We had POI2’s name (which I’d acquired from a congressional source), and his address, but we didn’t have a current phone number. After running an extensive background on him, we learned a lot about his life and work, social media, friends and close associates, and even where he attends church, but we still didn't have a phone number to call him and ask for a meeting. Most interesting of all, POI2 is a prolific international traveler. In one recent year, he had logged over 40 international flights. So we didn’t even know if he’d be in the country, much less at home, if we knocked on this door. My recon of his address was a huge disappointment. His apartment building is one of those old inner-city manufacturing plants refitted into modern, upscale housing. The entire property is ringed by tall wrought-iron fencing, with electronic security for entry into the parking garage, foot traffic, and into the building itself. There was no visible way for us to just pay him a visit for a “knock and talk.” Perhaps we could have “buzzed” him from an exterior gate, but I didn’t get that far that day. Later that evening, I picked up my team member from the airport — the retired FBI guy — and we went to dinner for a long, late-night planning session. We identified a couple of strong local personal connections he had via his Facebook page, and we planned to visit them first, get more info about POI2, and maybe even get their help reaching out to him. At 9:00 a.m. the next morning, we arrived at the home of someone who seemed like they might be closest to him. We were lucky and hit a home run on the first swing. Without the long details, our “story” about why we were looking for POI2 — their close friend — worked like a charm, and we were invited into their home. Our host called POI2, and within two hours POI2 joined us at our new friend’s home. Luckily, POI2 had returned to the States from an overseas trip only the day before. For the next three hours, I asked most of the questions while my partner listened and observed. Based on my partner’s 25+ years of experience with the FBI, he believed POI2 answered everything truthfully … “Or, he’s a very, very good liar.” My partner had to fly back home the next morning, but I had many follow-up questions for POI2. I reached out again early in the morning, and he agreed to meet me at a coffee shop in his neighborhood. ***(On a personal timeline aside: during my second interview with POI2, I was only nine days away from my heart failure episode, and was already struggling to breath after the slightest of physical exertions.)*** The most significant reveal We met at 1:30 p.m., and spent another two full hours together. During this session, we had a detailed conversation about his two interviews with two FBI special agents. Both of those interviews were on the same day. January 19, 2021. POI2 had explained to the FBI agents that the reason he returned to the Rumsey Court alley behind the RNC was that he remembered there were several trash cans in the alley, and he wanted to dispose of an empty plastic water bottle before going back to the train station. I asked him why he didn’t simply throw the bottle away at the Metrotrain station. He shrugged. From our video review, POI2 only stayed in the alley for about three to four minutes. But if what he revealed to me is true, it is one of the most significant discoveries in our years-long pipe bomb investigation. POI2 shared with me that the FBI agents told him that he had thrown the empty water bottle away in the very trash container next to where the bomb would be placed a little over an hour and a half later. Why that is significant FIRST, it reveals that the FBI most likely had video of him depositing that empty bottle into that container. Yes … they could have taken DNA samples of every item in that trash can, but then they would also have needed DNA from POI2 in their database. POI2 didn’t offer that option as their explanation. He assumed they saw him on camera. I can personally attest that there is currently a camera in Rumsey Court that would cover the area where the bomb was placed, but I do not know if that same camera existed in January of 2021. But if they did observe POI2, on camera, tossing the bottle in the trash can immediately next to where the bomb was placed, then the FBI most certainly has video of Karlin Younger — the FirstNet employee — who discovered that device at approximately 12:35 p.m. the next day, January 6. Only 25 minutes before Vice President Mike Pence was to drop the gavel on the joint session of Congress to certify the 2020 Electoral College presidential vote. Only about 18 minutes before the first breach of that outer bike rack barricade on the west Capitol grounds, led by Ray Epps, Ryan Samsel, and other suspicious characters. Many investigators, including Congressman Loudermilk and his committee, have posited that the two devices placed by the gray hooded bomber on J5 were retrieved at some point in the early morning hours of J6, then replaced just before their “discovery” a few minutes either side of 1:00 p.m. The allegedly “deleted” video from the two DNC cameras that provided the footage of the gray hooded bomber placing a device on the evening of J5 would have also shown us what happened after midnight. Whether or not the two plainclothes Capitol Police counter-surveillance officers were the ones who replaced the device just before reporting its discovery to the Secret Service agents attending VP-Elect Kamala Harris’s presence inside the building at the time. (Article to that story linked in comments below.) A camera aimed at the RNC drop location would give us the same information about what happened during the night, and when Karlin Younger discovered that device while walking back and forth and doing her laundry. The FBI claims that the footage from the two DNC cameras — after that device was planted under a bench — was accidentally deleted. (No one buys that story.) Those two FBI agents may also have inadvertently revealed to POI2 that video footage exists from that dark corner of the RNC/Capitol Hill Club alley on J5 and J6. Both missing videos, if they were to surface, would either invalidate all conspiracy theories about the pipe bombs, or confirm the prevailing theories and circumstantial evidence pointing to law enforcement participation and a multi-agency conspiracy. SECOND, if the two FBI agents were telling POI2 the truth about that specific trash container, then it brings into question all of POI2’s own statements about why he returned to that alley after dark. That very trash can was in the furthest and darkest corner of the RNC/Capitol Hill Club side of Rumsey Court. He would have had to ignore several of the first and most clearly visible, well-lit trash bins upon his arrival into that alley by way of the walkway between the RNC and the Capitol Hill Club. Instead, he made a hard left behind the Capitol Hill Club and headed toward the darkest corner of the alley, from which the view of that trash can was also likely obstructed by one or more cars typically parked between him and what would be his line of sight to that dark corner. This implies POI2 was either on a recon mission to determine the best drop location for the second device, or, as one retired, formerly high-ranking law enforcement officer has theorized, he may have placed an AirTag or other electronic beacon to lead the bomber to the most advantageous location to deposit the bomb. Near the end of my second meeting with POI2, he shared with me several photos of “numbers” he took in that alley. He shared the “time and location” data from those original photos on his iPhone. He also gave me screenshots from his phone’s call history of the exact moment the two FBI agents phoned him for both interviews on January 19, 2021. He was very earnest, forthcoming, and eager to answer all my questions. (Photo examples in comments below.) As a person, I like POI2. We could be friends. But either he or the FBI is lying about what happened in that dark corner behind the Capitol Hill Club. (Maybe both?) Just as POI2 and I were about to say goodbye and shake hands, I opened my phone to show him one photo. It was the shot I took of the two side-by-side doors at the condo complex in Falls Church, VA. The door on the left was the home of his lifelong acquaintance, POI3. The door on the right was Shauni Kerkhoff's January 6 residence. I asked him: “Can you make this math work for me?” He replied: “No, man. That’s so weird.” We have stayed in contact and spoken many times since those two days in December. ⬇️

🚨BREAKING: NASA physicist says astronauts have seen UFOs on Gemini spaceflights and other missions, UFOs have interfered with nuclear missile systems, and that the agency has systematically ignored key UFO data for decades. He also cites Japan Airlines flight 1628 as a 45 minute pilot sighting over Alaska involving radar data confiscated by the CIA and White House’s scientific advisory team.🚨 Kevin Knuth (University at Albany physicist, former NASA) lays out the most concrete physics-first frame for what UFOs are and what they can do. This episode centers on three hard points: repeated UAP interaction with nuclear assets, flight performance that breaks conventional engineering by orders of magnitude, and a growing civilian pipeline analyzing debris and isotopes outside black programs. Along the way, Knuth gets into his brilliant theories on Alien waterworlds and UFO propulsion mechanisms and we discuss bizarre astronaut sightings of red lights, “snake” and disc-looking objects in space. 1. The Ubiquitous UFO-Nuclear Connection: Knuth points to the global pattern: UAP show up around U.S. missile fields, Soviet nuclear assets, France, the U.K., and even civilian nuclear regions like Fukushima. Air Force Officer Robert Salas details events at Malmstrom Air Force Base: between September 1966 and March 1967, roughly 30 missiles were lost to UAP-related interference. Events like from witnesses beyond reproach convinced Knuth UFOs were impossible to ignore. 2. How UFOs Fly: 5,000 Gs Isn’t “Fast.” It’s Impossible Knuth uses the commonly cited estimate of the 2004 Nimitz UFO sighting off the coast of San Diego: 28,000 feet to sea level in ~0.78 seconds, implying roughly 5,000 G’s minimum. He contrasts it with the limits of modern fighters: an F-35’s wings fail around 13 G, missile frames can’t survive much beyond ~60 G. He cites a figure around ~11 gigawatts for that maneuver. More than the total nuclear output of the United States, packed into something roughly the size of an F/A-18. Even assuming 99% efficiency, the waste heat alone would be catastrophic. The object should melt. It doesn’t. This is not a scaling problem. It’s a category break. 3. How UFOs Interact With Water Knuth describes a case involving the Southland in the 1980s: an ~800-foot-long USO, roughly 150 feet in diameter, closing ~2 km in ~25 seconds, with an implied top speed around ~3,500 mph underwater. No wake. No water displacement behavior consistent with classical fluid mechanics. Yet sonar returns exist, meaning water molecules are bouncing off it while the object behaves like it isn’t interacting with the medium. 4. Physics Has To Break. Knuth’s conclusion is blunt: if the accelerations are real, you’re forced into the territory of inertia, gravity, and general relativity. Warp drive and “warp bubbles” are on the table, but even that has unanswered questions, like what a warp bubble does in an atmosphere. 5. NASA’s Documented Astronaut sightings: Knuth discusses accounts tied to astronauts and Apollo and Gemini-era spaceflight that suggest the phenomenon isn’t limited to Earth’s atmosphere. Gemini 11 involves audio of the sighting and a documented outage of the vehicle in one of the most debated cases in NASA’s history. Knuth explores the truth behind it. 6. The UFO Case With The Most Data Around It: Japan Airlines flight 1628. Cargo 747 Captain Kenju Terauchi, flying over Alaska. First: rectangular objects with lights scanning the cockpit, with pilots reporting they could feel heat. Then: a massive walnut-shaped object, described as multiple 747s in size, effectively an aircraft-carrier-scale presence, following the plane for roughly 45 minutes and moving side-to-side around it. Knuth cites John Callahan (FAA Chief of Accidents and Investigations) reviewing the incident. A meeting follows where Reagan’s scientific team and the CIA demand the data. Callahan copies it and keeps it under his desk, later making it public after retirement. The officials in the meeting reportedly say they’ve never had 45 minutes of radar data on one of these objects before. Knuth references physicist Daniel Coumbe (Niels Bohr Institute) analyzing the radar jumps, with extreme accelerations discussed in secondary analysis. The core point: radar-derived kinematics imply performance far beyond known human technology. 7. Reverse Engineering Is Real. And Failing. Knuth says he’s heard enough from credible people over years to believe there’s “nuts and bolts” craft work happening. He believes we just haven’t made any progress: its like a caveman looking at an iPhone. 8. The Isotopes Don’t Lie: He describes colleague Matthew Shadagas studying purported debris using neutron activation techniques to infer isotope ratios non-destructively. The core idea is simple: if you find isotope ratios that don’t occur naturally on Earth and don’t match asteroid patterns, you have a possible smoking gun. 9. They’re Not “Coming Here.” They’re Here. He echoes the Carl Sagan logic: they aren’t arriving from another star system every other Tuesday. He points to timing issues like Fukushima sightings the next day. If they were truly interstellar without exotic travel and comms, the lag alone breaks the story. His best bet is underwater bases, with water offering stable temperature, shielding, stealth against EM detection, and access to energy and minerals. 10. The Cover-Up Is The System Knuth frames the modern UAP landscape as a collision between overwhelming sensor/witness evidence and institutional incentives to bury it. The result isn’t “no data.” It’s data that gets siloed, seized, and stigmatized before it ever reaches the public. Why this matters: This is what the UFO question looks like when you treat it like a serious scientific inquiry, not a cultural one. Nuclear site surveillance is patterned. The flight performance exceeds known engineering limits by orders of magnitude. And the most credible testimony isn’t theatrical. It’s documented and coming from the highest levels of credible witnesses. If you want hardcore UFO science, watch this episode with Kevin Knuth, in the reply 👇

🚨What is she carrying? Part 2⁉️ Depending on your AI platform preference … we get either a $40,000 handheld X-ray device or a $40 thermos-and-lunch-bag cooler combo? What was your conclusion, and which was right? When we first came across this video months ago, I immediately said it looked like she was “carrying a lunch bag,” or some kind of cooler. But for whatever reason, and what we were more focused on at the time, we didn’t spend the hours and hours and hours required to drill down on those few seconds of video. Not until this week. Tons of social media critics say I should “just release everything we know, and let the truth fall where it may.” But that’s how we get in trouble. And we HAVE gotten things wrong in this five-year-long investigation. EVERYONE has made mistakes. Left and right media, major legacy media, alternative media, and even the best of the independent journalists have made mistakes or misreported details of the January 6, 2021 event. Whether on purpose, by accident, or careless disregard of the truth … you can be the judge of each incident. I’ve explained on numerous occasions that we’ve spent more than a year researching, investigating, and preparing some stories before going public. In this case, when we finally started looking hard at it, the Brave New World of AI took us on a wild goose chase. We now have good reason to finally drill down on the timelines and available video leading up to the sequence of events on the night of January 5, 2021 … the night before the discovery of the two “devices” at the RNC and DNC headquarters. When inputting into AI that first video — which I posted last night — It began spitting out some shocking alternatives to my original “lunch bag” assumption. Unprompted, the AI drew its own conclusion about what Ms. Kerkhoff was carrying, probably because they were “cops” in the video. To be clear, UNPROMPTED, AI was initially adamant that the item in her hand was a portable X-ray device for sniffing out narcotics, weapons, and explosives. Even some The U.S. Capitol Police sources we shared the video with said the same thing. Other Capitol Police sources were more skeptical. Then, suddenly AI wasn’t so sure. As I mentioned last night, in my second post, X’s Grok and Google’s Gemini were arguing with each other. Gemini was shockingly specific: “The item being carried by the officer in that CCTV footage matches the exact structural form factor, top-handle position, and multi-point shoulder strap design of a Viken Detection HBI-120 Handheld Backscatter X-Ray Imager … Rather than being transported bare, it is housed in its specialized tactical, weather-resistant soft deployment carry case.” Wow. You can imagine how that hit like a bolt of lightning, considering whom we were looking at. Grok was less committed, offering varying possibilities ranging from a “paper takeout bag” to all manner of sophisticated law enforcement-used electronic devices. When I pitted Grok against Gemini — and vice versa — Gemini dug in its heels, saying: “Based on the visual evidence in the video and the analysis circulating in response to Steve Baker's query, the device carried by Officer Kerkhoff is almost certainly a Viken Detection (formerly Heuresis) HBI-120 in its tactical soft-carry case. While officially unconfirmed, the visual and structural match is highly specific.” Grok countered: “The competitor [Gemini] write-up describes that pouch as if it were a catalog item with a unique layout, then maps the CCTV blob onto it and calls it an ‘exact’ match. The citations in that text are HBI-120 product pages, not photos of a factory soft case that looks like this bag. That is overfit. Size class + top handle + ‘looks tactical’ is not an identification of an 8-pound 120 keV imager. Could an agency have put an HBI-120 in some aftermarket or unit-made padded bag? Yes. Does this video prove that? No.” But Grok was also an absolute mess in describing the basic video scene itself: “A gray-haired person in dark clothing walks in from the left carrying a dark bag by a single top handle. Papers or a light object in the other hand. Two uniformed officers come down the ramp. They meet. Later two officers walk the sidewalk; one has a light-colored item (bag or papers), and a dark bag is still in the scene. Someone else walks away across the lot with a bag.” Huh? Anyway… Gemini didn’t like what it called “The Thermos Theory”: “Soft Lunch Coolers typically use flexible nylon webbing straps or soft padded handles that pinch or deform when lifted. The handle in the video does not appear to ‘pinch’ like a soft strap; it remains an open loop. This structural rigidity strongly favors the Viken device (or a hard-shelled case) over a soft lunch bag.” Grok’s conclusion: “On evidence quality, the Viken ID is the weaker of the two. It is possible in the abstract and unsupported as a positive ID here. The honest read is: dark soft top-handle bag, lunch-cooler to small-kit size, contents unknown. Anything more specific needs a better frame, a still of the bag on the ground, or provenance outside this clip.” Gemini’s conclusion: “This single frame is ambiguous due to the blur and lighting (reflection). However, the rigid, non-deforming handle visible in the officer's grip is a mechanical characteristic of the Viken HBI-120 (or similar heavy equipment) and is inconsistent with the flexible straps of a standard soft lunch cooler. While the "silver" glint is a point for the thermos theory, it is plausibly explained by the Viken's glass screen or case window. Verdict: The structural analysis (rigid handle) still favors the heavier equipment (Viken) over a standard soft lunch bag.” So, depending on your AI preference … we get either a $40,000 handheld X-ray device or a $40 thermos-and-lunch-bag cooler combo? But there is more evidence in the alternate video angles available. (That I now present below.) They seem to confirm with the ‘human eye’ that Ms. Kerkhoff is carrying a metal cylinder (possibly a thermos) in the same hand as a soft-sided lunch bag cooler. Though the design conflicts with the common thermos handle configurations of most known cylinder thermoses. (Photos below.) And we've not been able to get an accurate hit on the so-called "lunch bag" with that specific handle and strap configuration. And THAT is why you don’t just “release what you know” without seeking every possible video angle and expert opinion. That is why we didn’t run to print with our original November 8 story on the OG topic without first taking it to a government intelligence agency and professional investigators for review. That is why so many bad theories about January 6 still abound — five and a half years later — because they were based on a single camera angle, when years later, the same scene was revealed to have been captured from multiple angles that change reality 180 degrees. This is exactly why all CCTV footage — not just from January 6, but also January 5 and 7 — still needs to be released to the public. When Speaker Mike Johnson authorized Rep. Barry Loudermilk's old investigative subcommittee to begin uploading CCTV footage to a Congressional Rumble channel, we were elated. I had already spent many weeks in the Capitol CCTV viewing room in D.C. The travel, the expense, and the scheduling hassles with the committee made it nearly impossible to spend the amount of time required to prepare any story correctly. Not only to view and harvest what you were looking for, but also to sift through far more than the infamous “41,000 hours” of footage. Congress made more than 1,800 cameras' worth of footage available, and ten total days of footage. That’s hundreds of thousands of hours of potentially useful footage to review. An impossible task for any one person or media organization to review if Congress didn’t make that footage directly available to the public. But they didn’t finish the project. Tens of thousands of vitally important hours from both January 5 and 6 were never uploaded to the Rumble page. Additionally, my team has made specific requests for curiously missing gaps in footage throughout that two-day timeline. In an arrangement made with the Committee, they had originally been very good about getting us the footage from the specific cameras and timestamps we requested. That suddenly stopped when the new Congress and Loudermilk’s new J6 investigative subcommittee took over in January of 2025. Joe Hanneman and I have made innumerable requests — REPEATEDLY — for missing and/or unreleased cameras and timestamps specifically related to the pipe bomb investigation. Despite being told — REPEATEDLY — that they would provide the requested footage, they never did. Something happened. As I’ve reported several times in the last few months, the Capitol Police were finally and successfully able to shut down Loudermilk’s subcommittee investigation into ALL THINGS related to the Capitol Police. They did this only with the complicity and surrender of Speaker Johnson and Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan to Capitol Police leadership’s demands. On that note, and in conclusion … there are eight full hours of missing footage from January 5, right in the middle of the day. ALL CAMERAS are missing. These are important hours for what we are tracking. We can see Ms. Kerkhoff arrive at Capitol Police HQ early in the morning to clock in for her shift, but she is not carrying her “lunch bag and thermos” when she arrives. Her car is parked two blocks away, and is in the same parking spot at the end of her day. We can see her leave HQ late in the day (as I’ve documented in the last several posts on this page) with other officers and go to the Fairchild Building. Only to return some half hour later carrying that … thing(?) … and only to spend 45 seconds in the HQ to “clock out” from her overtime shift. We’re still missing vital video footage that both Speakers McCarthy and Johnson promised the American people. Including certain cameras deliberately withheld at the RNC bomb drop location, and other cameras with mysterious gaps at the most important of moments. Do the other video angles here prove that either Grok or Gemini was right, or does the X hive mind have better theories on what Kerkhoff is carrying? How about that high-definition CCTV camera that is right inside that west side door at Capitol Police HQ, with good lighting? They should release that video to us. A $40,000 bomb detection device or a Walmart thermos and lunch bag? I’m good with either. The truth is what we seek. But we should be able to see ALL the footage. Including all Capitol CCTV cameras and footage from January 6, and the days immediately preceding and following. Including the 39,000 video files the FBI claims to have in the entire J5/J6 pipe bomb investigation. Conspiracy theories are born and fester precisely because the government isn’t transparent and purposefully keeps the People in the dark. Then the lawyers who control government make billions from the legal aftermath. (More Photos in the thread below.)

🚨THE SOUND WAS VERY BAD, BUT I DID MY BEST TO DECIPHER THE OPENING REMARKS OF TRUMP AND ZELENSKYY: Q: President Trump, do you think Putin is serious about peace this time? TRUMP: I do. I do. I think he is. I think they both are. Q: What was your message to Putin? TRUMP: You got to make a deal. Got to get it done. Too many people dying and I think both presidents want to make a deal. I really do. I made a brief phone call. Q: Do you meet Putin again soon? TRUMP: It depends. It depends. But I do believe that we have the makings of a deal that's good for Ukraine, good for everybody and that's very important. "There's nothing more important", - my book. We settled eight wars and this is the most difficult one. I thought it would be in the middle of the pack. This, this is the most difficult one, but we're gonna get it done. We're gonna have a great meeting today. This gentleman has worked very hard, and is very brave, and his people are very brave. I mean, what they've gone through, no nation... very rarely a nation ever had to go through this. So, we're gonna have a very good meeting today, I think. And I'm also calling President Putin back after the meeting and we'll continue our negotiation. Pretty complex, but not that complex. Q: Do you expect any deadline? TRUMP: I don't have deadlines. I have... You know what my deadline is? Getting the war ended. We don't have deadlines, do you agree with that? ZELENSKYY: yes... finish, as quick as possible Q: Are you prepared to sign the security agreement today? TRUMP: Well, it depends what the security agreement says. What a dumb question. Nobody even knows what the security agreement is going to say. But there will be a security agreement. It'll be a strong agreement, and the European nations are very much involved in that. They'll be very much involved in protection, et cetera. But the European nations have been really great. They're very much in line with this meeting and getting a deal done. They are all in... They're terrific people. I think you can say that. There's no, nobody there. They all want to get it done and they've been very supportive, I think. President, do you have anything to say? ZELENSKYY: Thank you so much Mr. President. Thank you for this meeting. Thank you for your invitation. Yes, really, I agree with President. Our teams, they do what they can. And I think that during last month, they moved forward with negotiations and Americans... thank you very much for your team, Steve and Jared, they worked very well. They worked on different documents. I hope that all these documents can bring peace as soon as possible. And, I agree with president that really the Europeans were very supportive. The president is on the contact with them, and maybe we will have the phone contact with them. TRUMP: We can call them, today Q: Why did you want to meet with President at Mar-a-Lago today? ZELENSKYY: Why? So we have... we spoke with our teams. They worked on 20 points plan. Then they worked on prosperity and security document. And 20 points plan is very important to discuss and sequencing that. It's very important. Our teams talked about the strategy, how to take step by step and to bring peace closer. And we will discuss this strategy. Q: President Zelenskyy, are you gonna make territorial concessions? ZELENSKYY: When we speak about 20 points plan, there is... They are, in 20 points plan, - 90% by the way, was done by our two teams, - I think they made a great job, great work. And yes, we will discuss these points also. TRUMP: And there are great economic benefits for Ukraine also, cause you know, there's a lot of rebuilding to do and there's a lot of wealth to be had. And they have great wealth, potentially they have great wealth. They wanna get started. But there is great economic benefit for Ukraine in what we're talking about. Q: President Trump, some are saying that the recent attacks in the past couple days, that Russia has staged against Ukraine, shows that President Putin isn't serious about peace. What is your reaction to that? TRUMP: No, he's very serious. I can say that I believe Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also. And I don't say that negatively. I think he'd probably have to. I don't say that negatively, you understand that? (to Zelenskyy) I think, now he hasn't told me that, but there have been some explosions in various parts of Russia, and it looks to me like, I don't know, I don't think it came from the Congo. I don't think it came from the United States of America. It possibly came from Ukraine, but I haven't asked that question. Maybe I won't bother asking. You know they're fighting a war and we'll see what happens. But I believe it's a war that... and we have two willing parties, we have two willing countries, they wanna see it end. Look, the people of Ukraine want it to end, and the people of Russia want it to end, and the two leaders want it to end. Q: Regarding the economic benefits for Ukraine: Europe is holding some billions of frozen Russian assets. Do you believe that should go to help rebuild Ukraine or go back to Russia again? TRUMP: None of that's been determined. But it'll go, it's gonna go very quickly. I think we're very, we're in final stages of talking and we're gonna see. Otherwise, it's gonna go on for a long time. It'll either end or it's gonna go on for a long time and millions of additional people are gonna be killed. Millions. And nobody wants that. Q: Mr. President (Trump), are you expecting to get to an agreement today? TRUMP: I just think we can do, I think we can move very rapidly. I really feel that. We've spoken. I know you had dinner with Steve. Steve Wickoff and Jared have done a fantastic job. And everybody has. Marco has been incredible. The whole group has been, our group has been incredible. And Ukraine appreciates it, and Russia appreciates it. They both want to see it end, and we're gonna get it ended. Thank you very much, everybody. ZELENSKYY: Thank you so much. TRUMP: We'll see you, I think, at the end. But I do think we'll call Europe also, we're gonna speak to the European leaders. Thank you very much.

So what’s up with Trump? Trump is only two things, and both have been proven to be an absolute disaster for the country. He is stupid, and he is a narcissist. Let’s prove this. Trump is a silver-spooned child who never read a book, and whose only interests for the longest time were women and superficial pursuits. That’s it. This is a man with no morals a man who cheated on both wives and failed in multiple businesses in almost Failproof condition set up by his father and now he is using the presidency to secure Gaza real estate for himself and his son in law. This is a guy who had the best team, MTG, Massie, Elon, Vivek, Joe Kent, Tucker, Charlie, Candace and even Megyn kelly, all of them supported him and literally helped put him in power. If Trump thinks he won on his own, he needs a reality check. He won because of those people. He won because he said there would be no more wars and that people like Lindsey Graham (the swamp) wouldn’t be anywhere near decision-making. The harsh critics of him and the same people who tried to kill him, are his closest allies today. And this complete idiot has managed to push out every sane voice around him. Every single one. Elon got close to auditing Pentagon and was effectively sidelined. He was offended, his business was impacted by Trump’s decisions and although he tried to make peace, he is nowhere near Trump’s inner circle anymore. Vivek was pushed out right away. Then Candace. Then Charlie was effectively silenced by a bullet in his neck and instead of demanding answers pushing his own FBI guy for transparency, demanding names, autopsy reports, and full details Trump did nothing! He did nothing. He is not brave he is a coward and a bully. He’s only strong against sanctioned countries that can’t fight back, nations targeted by his predecessors simply because they refused to bow down and hand over their resources to the corporate America. Meanwhile, the same system enriches entrenched power at home, allowing corporate elites to grow into massive monopolies that squeeze the middle class out of existence, untouched. That wealth they took from latino America is not for Americans, it's for Blackrock, Israel etc, you saw it first hand. Iran won't be for American people either. He keeps calling Charlie his friend, but he did nothing for Charlie. No, Trump doesn’t have friends. He has opportunities. He uses people, then gets rid of them once these people show that they also have their own opinions and they want to be heard. Then came Tucker. Anyone who challenged Trump or reminded him of his own limitations was quickly dismissed. Meanwhile, political opportunists like Graham who have been playing the game for far too long realized they’re dealing with a narcissist. All they need to do is praise him constantly, constantly! Tell him how great he is, how everything he says is brilliant, unprecedented, amazing and that’s it, you've got his attention. Then they feed him bad information while reinforcing his thinking. That’s how manipulation works: you guide someone toward your idea while making them believe it was their own idea. Intelligence agencies have mastered this and Trump is an easy target, he is absolutely a stupid narcissist the easiest target for a trained intelligence apparatus.We are seeing this play out in real time, the unexplained shift and the strange conflicts with people who once supported him. One thing Trump is not is an actor. He can’t act, not even for the sake of politics, so none of his pre-presidential stances were act and he did believe what he was saying before. The problem is that he is uneducated, impulsive and Stupid when you add narcissism to this you get the perfect recipe for disaster. So now we have Trump aligned with the very group he claimed to be fighting against. This is a vulnerable spot for the country, uninformed leader who doesn’t understand geography, history, politics or foreign policy. He can’t distinguish between countries, struggles with basic facts and has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of understanding about how the world works from international relations to economics. He has said countless absurd things and people kept forgiving him, hoping he was different, an outsider. We chose to tolerate his stupidity in exchange for change, but in the end, we only got the stupidity. The change never came. Now it’s clear, he’s now one of them, not one of us. Apparently Joe Kent is weak, but I guess Lindsey Graham is strong like a lion! :)))))))) It’s time for a third party!

A dog just made the bravest decision I have seen anyone make this year. Not a founder. Not an athlete. Not a person with a plan and a five-year vision board. A dog, on an empty road, with nothing to lose and no idea what would come next. I have watched what comes next more times than I will admit in public. This post is 25,000 characters long. It is a list of reasons why you should watch it too. Read as much as you want, but understand one thing before you start: the video is the only part that matters, and this is everything the video doesn't have room to say. Sound on. Phone in both hands. Do not skip. I'll be here when you get back. THE NUMBER THAT SHOULD BOTHER YOU Let me start with two numbers. The first: commonly cited estimates put the world's stray dog population at around 200 million. Two hundred million animals with no address, no bowl with their name on it, and no one who would notice if they didn't come back tonight. The second number is one. That is how many people had to be on that road, at that exact minute, looking in that exact direction, in a good enough mood to stop. Not two. Not a crowd. One. Here is what nobody says out loud: for every dog you see rescued on camera, there are millions the camera never reached. We don't see them because no one was there. The videos that reach you are not a sample of reality. They are the winners of a lottery so brutal that Powerball looks like a coin flip next to it. So when one of these lands in your feed, don't scroll past it like content. Treat it like what it is: a statistical miracle that happened to end well. And miracles have a structure. Let's take this one apart. FIVE LINKS. BREAK ONE AND THE STORY DOESN'T EXIST. Link one: the dog has to survive long enough to be seen. Roads are not built for small animals. Vehicles do not slow down for shapes on the asphalt. Every hour out there is a coin flip the animal has to win again, and again, and again. Link two: someone has to be present. Not nearby. Present. Eyes up, phone down, brain not busy replaying the argument from breakfast. Link three: that someone has to notice. It sounds simple. It isn't. The human brain is a filtering machine, and a small animal on a road becomes a plastic bag, a shadow, a piece of tire. The most common reason a dog is not rescued is not cruelty. It is that nobody registered it as a dog. Link four: the person has to stop. This is the link that snaps most often. Seeing is free. Stopping costs you time, comfort, a schedule, and possibly the mood of your entire day. Link five: the dog has to let them. An animal that has learned that hands mean pain has every biological reason to run. Trust is not a given. It is a negotiation, and the dog holds the veto. Five links. All five held. Remember that when you press play. You are not watching a nice story. You are watching a chain that should have snapped at least four times. THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP DRIVING In 1968, psychologists John Darley and Bibb Latane published a set of experiments that changed how we think about helping. The finding was uncomfortable: the more people who witness an emergency, the less likely any one of them is to act. They called it diffusion of responsibility. Everyone assumes someone else will handle it. So nobody does. Later research added nuance. When an emergency is clear and dangerous, people step in more often than the original theory predicted. But the core insight has survived half a century of testing, because it describes something every one of us has felt: the small, quiet voice that says, somebody else will stop. Now picture a road with no crowd at all. No audience. No one to hide behind. No one to blame. Just you and a decision that is entirely, inescapably yours. That is the situation the person in this video walked into. And the reason it is worth your attention is not that they did something impossible. It is that they did something small, and it turns out small is exactly what almost nobody does. You don't need to be a hero. You need to be inconvenienced. THE FACE IS THE RESUME In 2013, researcher Bridget Waller and her team studied dogs in a UK shelter and asked a simple question: what makes one dog get adopted faster than another? It wasn't size. It wasn't age. It wasn't coat color. It was one tiny facial movement: the raising of the inner eyebrows. The move that makes a dog's eyes look bigger, softer, almost sad. Dogs that did it more often were chosen faster. Six years later, a study led by Juliane Kaminski found out why that movement is so easy for dogs and so hard for wolves. Dogs have a small muscle around the eye that wolves largely lack. Over thousands of years of living beside us, dogs evolved a way to make their faces speak our language. Read that again. A species rewired its own anatomy to be understood by another species. No other animal has done this to us. Nobody taught them. Nobody forced them. They looked at us, worked out what we respond to, and grew the tool. Now look at the face in this video. You will know the second you see it. That is not a coincidence, and it is not luck. It is fifteen thousand years of engineering aimed directly at your chest. THE ONLY LOOP LIKE IT ON EARTH In 2015, a Japanese team led by Miho Nagasawa published a result in the journal Science that made researchers stop and reread the abstract. When a dog and its owner look into each other's eyes, both of their oxytocin levels rise. Oxytocin is the bonding chemical, the same one that flows between a mother and her newborn. Dog looks at human. Human's oxytocin rises. Human looks back, touches, talks softly. Dog's oxytocin rises. Which makes the dog look longer. Which makes the human's oxytocin rise again. A feedback loop of affection, running across two species, powered by nothing but eye contact. Here is the part that gets me: the effect did not show up the same way in wolves raised by humans. The loop is not just training. It is something that evolved between us. So the next time someone says a dog is just responding to food, tell them there is a peer-reviewed study that disagrees. And keep this fact in your pocket for the video. Because at some point, a moment of eye contact happens in it, and I want you to know what is really going on in that room. THEY CAN SMELL WHAT YOU'RE HIDING Humans have roughly 6 million scent receptors. Dogs are commonly cited as having around 300 million. A large share of a dog's brain is devoted to processing smell. What you experience as a room, a dog experiences as a layered document: who was here, how long ago, and how they felt. In 2022, researchers at Queen's University Belfast tested something remarkable. They collected breath and sweat samples from people before and after a stressful task. Then they asked dogs to tell the samples apart. The dogs got it right nearly 94 percent of the time. Your body broadcasts your emotional state as chemistry. You cannot turn it off. You cannot fake calm. A dog reads your fear, your tension, your irritation, before you have opened your mouth. Which means every rescue is, at its core, a test of one thing: are you actually calm, or are you performing calm? The dog knows. It always knows. And that is why what happens in the first few seconds of this video matters more than anything that comes after it. Watch the body language. Watch how slowly things move. Watch what is not done. THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT IN ANY RESCUE IS THE ONE WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS Animal behaviorists describe fear responses in four flavors: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Fight is what people expect. Flight is what most strays do. Freeze is what looks like calm but isn't. And fawn, the desperate, wiggling, please-don't-hurt-me appeasement, is the one that breaks your heart the fastest, because it looks like friendliness and it is actually terror. Rescuers who have done this hundreds of times will tell you the same handful of rules. Don't loom. Don't stare straight into the eyes. Get low. Turn sideways. Slow everything down until it feels absurd. Let the animal close the last few feet on its own terms. The hardest instruction, and the one most people can't follow, is the last one: do nothing. Every instinct you have says reach out. Grab. Fix. Take control of the situation. And every good rescue begins with someone who did the opposite. Who made themselves small, patient, and boring, and waited for a frightened animal to decide that the safest thing in its whole world might be a stranger. You are about to watch someone do exactly that. Notice how little they need to say. THE TEARS THEY WON'T PUT IN THE HEADLINE Scientists are careful people. They do not like to say "dogs cry." But in 2022, a team from Azabu University in Japan, led by Takefumi Kikusui, measured tear volume in dogs during reunions with their owners. The result: tear volume rose significantly compared with reunions involving other familiar people. And when researchers applied oxytocin to the dogs' eyes, tear volume rose again. Not sadness crying. Not the crying we do. Something else, something closer to overflow. The body producing water at the exact moment the heart has more in it than it can hold. Nobody has proven that this is the same thing we feel. Scientists will tell you that, and they are right to. But here is a question worth sitting with. If an animal's eyes fill with water when it sees the one being it has decided to trust, what exactly are we arguing about? Watch the eyes in this video. Then tell me what you think you saw. ONCE IT HAS A NAME, IT STOPS BEING A STATISTIC In 2007, psychologist Paul Slovic and colleagues ran an experiment on generosity. They showed people a fundraising appeal for a hungry child, and then a second version that added statistics about millions of other children in the same crisis. More data. More context. More reasons to care. Donations dropped. Slovic called it psychic numbing. The human mind can hold one face. It cannot hold two hundred million. When a tragedy becomes a number, empathy quietly switches off, and we don't even notice it happening. This is why one named animal in one small video can do what a hundred reports full of charts cannot. It gives your brain something it can actually care about: a single life, with a face, a fear, and a future that could go either way. The stray population is a statistic. A dog is a story. And stories, unlike statistics, come with a name at the end. When you reach that moment in the video, pay attention to what it does to you. Notice the small shift in your chest. That is the sound of a number turning into a person, or close enough. THE WORD FOR WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO FEEL Researchers have a name for the feeling you get when something touches you so suddenly that your throat tightens and your eyes sting. They call it kama muta, Sanskrit for "moved by love." Anthropologist Alan Fiske proposed that it is a distinct emotion, triggered by a sudden intensification of closeness. Two beings who were strangers become bonded. Someone who was alone becomes part of something. People across many cultures describe the same set of signs: warmth in the chest, goosebumps, a lump in the throat, tears they didn't plan on, and a strong urge to hug someone or hold something. Here is what makes it useful and not just sweet: kama muta is one of the most reliable emotional responses we have. It shows up when reunions happen. When a stranger helps unexpectedly. When an animal, after a long time alone, is finally held. You've felt it. You just never had a word for it. Take note of the exact second it hits you in this video. I promise there is one. And if you're the kind of person who says "I never cry at videos," I would like to schedule a follow-up. WHY YOU'LL WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON AFTER ONE MINUTE Psychologist Jonathan Haidt studied a related feeling and gave it a name: elevation. Elevation is what you feel when you watch someone do something morally beautiful, quietly, with nothing to gain. It is not envy and it is not admiration. It is an urge, physical and immediate, to do something good yourself. In studies, people who experienced elevation were more likely to help others afterward, more likely to volunteer, and more likely to describe wanting to become better versions of themselves. Read that as a design spec. A short piece of true, unstaged kindness can change what a person does in the hour after they see it. Which is a strange, lovely thing for a phone to be capable of. We spend so much time discussing what social media does wrong. Nobody wonders what would happen if the best five percent of it, the small, real, human moments, were the part that traveled farthest. Let this one travel. It has earned it. THE RARE THING: SOMETHING TRUE THAT WINS In 2018, researchers at MIT published a study in Science that analyzed millions of tweets. The result was grim: false news spread significantly faster and further than true news. False stories were about 70 percent more likely to be retweeted, driven largely by surprise and disgust. The lesson most people took away was that this platform rewards outrage. I want to take a different lesson. If false stories win because they trigger strong emotion, then true stories can win too, as long as they trigger stronger ones. A video with no villain, no scandal, and no argument. Nothing to be angry about. Nothing to dunk on. A rescue that is exactly what it looks like. That kind of content should lose on this platform. It has no fuel. And yet every so often, one of them breaks through and reminds everyone what this place was supposed to be. I am not asking you to like it. I am asking you to notice that you had a choice about what to feed today, and this was one of the options. SOME FRIENDSHIPS SHOULDN'T WORK Somewhere near the end of this video, a second character enters the story. I won't tell you who. I won't tell you what happens. I will tell you that if you have ever read anything about instincts, hunting drives, or the way certain animals are supposed to see each other, this moment will quietly rearrange your assumptions. Behaviorists talk about prey drive as if it were destiny. It is not. It is a tendency, and tendencies can be softened by experience, by safety, by being raised, or re-raised, in a place where no one is afraid. The same dog that once had to look after itself alone can, in a different life, learn that the world contains creatures that are not threats or meals. Only neighbors. That is the most hopeful idea in behavioral science, and it usually gets buried in footnotes: what an animal was is not the same as what an animal can become. The same is true for most of us, incidentally. But that is a different post. Stay for the ending. It is the reason I am writing this at all. THE PART THE INTERNET NEVER FILMS Every rescue video has the same shape: the meeting, the rescue, the transformation, the happy ending. It is edited that way because it is the only shape that gets watched. But ask anyone who has actually done this, and they will tell you the truth is in the gap between the second and third act. The first night. The first week. The first time a dog that has never lived indoors realizes there is a floor that doesn't move, a door that closes without danger, and a bowl that will be full again tomorrow. Rescuers have a rule of thumb for this, the 3-3-3 rule. Three days for a dog to decompress. Three weeks to start learning the routine. Three months to feel truly at home. It's not science, exactly, just a shorthand built from thousands of adoptions. But it captures something real: safety is not a switch. It is a process, and the animal has to believe it slowly, one uneventful day at a time. That means the happiest scenes in this video are not the ones that look like celebrations. They are the quiet ones. A dog that stops scanning the room. A body that finally lets go. Look for the moment the shoulders drop. Once you see it, you'll never unsee it. THE COST OF STOPPING: NINETY SECONDS Let's do the math on the thing that most people are afraid of. How long does it actually take to stop for an animal in trouble? Not the whole rescue. Just the decision, the pulling over, the first attempt. Ninety seconds. Sometimes less. Ninety seconds is the length of a bad song on the radio. It is the time you spend waiting for a light to change. It is a scroll through a feed you won't remember. And on the other side of those ninety seconds is the difference between a living animal and a statistic. I'm not saying this to make anyone feel guilty. Guilt is a terrible motivator. It makes people avoid the feeling instead of acting on it. I'm saying it because the barrier is almost always imagined. We inflate the cost of helping in our heads, and the imagined price is what stops us, not the real one. The person in this video paid the real price. It was small. What they got in return is something no one could have planned for. That is the part you should watch closely. IF YOU'RE EVER THE ONE ON THAT ROAD Save this section. Someday, someone reading it will need it. Put your safety first. Pull over where it's safe and turn on your hazard lights before anything else. A second accident helps no one. Do not chase. A frightened dog runs faster than you and directly into the worst possible place. Chasing turns a rescue into a pursuit. Get low and go slow. Sit down if you can. Turn your body sideways. Avoid direct staring. Speak softly, or don't speak at all. Use food, if you have any. Something plain, tossed a little closer each time, works better than any technique. Check for a tag and, if you can get near enough, ask a vet or shelter to scan for a microchip. Someone may be looking for this animal right now. Call for help early. Local rescues, animal control, and vets can handle what you cannot. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is make the right phone call. Take photos and note the location. If you can't keep the animal, those details are what let someone else finish the job. None of this is complicated. The reason it is rare is that most people have never been told that it is allowed. You are allowed. THE REAL STAKES OF A SMALL DOG Here is a bigger picture, and it's a heavy one. Millions of companion animals enter shelters every year in the United States alone. That is just one country. Many are lost pets that never get reclaimed. Many are strays. Many are animals whose owners ran out of money, time, or hope. Shelters are often crowded, underfunded, and staffed by people running on love and very little else. Every animal that finds a home, or a foster, or a stranger with ninety seconds to spare, frees up a space for the next one in line. That means every single rescue is bigger than the animal in it. It is a small change to a very large system, and the system is nothing but small changes stacked on top of one another. This is not an argument for guilt. It's an argument for scale. One dog saved is one dog saved, but it is also proof of concept, a demonstration that the chain can hold, that the odds can be beaten, that a person and a road and a decision can end well. And proof of concept is contagious. That is why you are seeing it. WHO REALLY GOT RESCUED? If you talk to people who have taken in strays, you'll hear the same sentence over and over, in different words. "I thought I was saving him. It turned out he was saving me." Skeptics roll their eyes at that. It sounds like a greeting card. And research on pets and wellbeing is more mixed than social media would like. It doesn't say every dog fixes every life. But there is something real underneath it, and it's not mystical. A dog is a machine for creating routine, attention, and reasons to leave the house. It needs you at a certain hour. It notices when you come home. It doesn't care about your job title, your follower count, or what you failed at last week. For some people, that is the first unconditional witness they have had in years. The rescue, in this light, is not one-way. Two lonely creatures, one who knew it and one who didn't, found out that they could take care of each other. Nobody can prove that from a video. But there is a version of the story that runs in the background of every rescue, and you can feel it if you let yourself. Tell me whether you feel it here. THE ATTENTION PARADOX Here is a strange fact about the platform you're reading this on. The average post gets a glance. A few words, a flick of the thumb, gone. Brands spend billions every year trying to buy three seconds of your attention, and most of what they buy evaporates before it lands. And yet a video of one dog, with no budget, no celebrity, and no script, can hold a stranger for a full minute. Without a single trick. Why? Because attention is not really about tricks. It is about stakes. Your brain is built to track living things whose outcome is uncertain. The moment there is a creature on screen and you don't yet know if it will be okay, some ancient part of you leans in and refuses to look away. That is the secret behind every great story ever told. Someone we care about. Something that could go wrong. A question we need answered. Marketers call it a hook. Your nervous system calls it worry. This video has both, and it pays off the worry honestly, which is why you leave feeling better instead of used. That is rare enough to deserve a full minute of your life. HOW TO WATCH THIS Most people will watch it wrong. They'll half-look at it between two other things, mid-scroll, thumb already moving. Here is how to get the actual effect. Turn the sound on. There is more happening in the audio than you expect. Make it full screen. This is a story about faces, and faces need room. Watch the first ten seconds without expecting anything. The film is quiet at the start. That is deliberate, or at least it works as if it were. Do not skip ahead. The whole thing depends on the distance between where it starts and where it ends. Skip the middle and the ending is just a nice clip. Then, once it's over, watch it again. The second time, you won't be watching for the story. You'll be watching for the small things you missed: a hesitation, a glance, a change in how a body carries itself. That second watch is where it gets you. I said I have watched it more times than I'll admit. That is the honest reason. It doesn't wear out. It gets deeper. THE CHALLENGE I want to try something with this post. If the video moved you, leave one comment: the second it happened. Not a review, not an analysis. Just the moment. I'm curious whether it's the same one for everyone. My guess is that it isn't, and that the spread of answers will say more about what people carry around with them than about the video. If it didn't move you, that is fine too. I'd like to hear that as well. Honest is better than polite. And if you have ever been the one who stopped, and I know some of you have, write that instead. Tell the story in two lines. No one has ever regretted the ninety seconds. Someone reading this thread might need to know that. Reposting this is the simplest way to put it in front of someone who's scrolling right now, in a bad week, thinking that nothing good happens by accident anymore. Something did. THE LAST THING Let me end where I started. A dog made a decision on an empty road. It could not have known how it would turn out. It had no reason to believe that the next hand would be different from the last. It went ahead anyway. That is the whole difference between a life that changes and one that doesn't. Not certainty. Not a plan. A willingness to move toward the unknown when the alternative is more of the same. The animal in this video did that. Then someone did the same in return. That's it. That's the entire story. Two beings, each of whom took a small, terrifying step toward the other, and a road that was, for a few seconds, the most important place in the world. Scroll up. Press play. Watch the ending. Then come back and tell me I was exaggerating. P.S. If you read all of this, you are exactly the kind of person this video was made for. Most people never make it past the first screen of a long post. You did. That tells me you are someone who stays: through the slow part, through the uncertain part, all the way to the end. Which is, when you think about it, the only quality that mattered in the story you're about to watch. Follow for more like this. I only post the ones that earn it. Bookmark it for days you forget the feeling. #Rescue #DogsOfX #SecondChances #AdoptDontShop #Dogs #AnimalRescue #RescueDog

Like seemingly everyone on this app I have plenty of opinions about Twitter > X and figure now is a good time to open up a bit about my experience at the company. I tweeted for years into the void for the love of it like many of you, but after selling my startup to Twitter in 2020 I finally got to see it from the inside. Up close it was both amazing and terrible, like so many other companies and things in life. As someone with a maniacal sense of urgency built into me, Twitter often felt siloed and bureaucratic. Dumb power plays, reorgs and team name changes for the sake of someone’s ego were distractions that occurred too regularly. You couldn’t just be a builder — you also needed to be a politician. I was shocked by how old and bespoke the infrastructure was, but there was little will to think beyond quarterly earnings calls because we were all beholden to the masters of mDAU and revenue growth as a public company. It often felt like things were held together with duct tape and glue, and that many people had just accepted that a small product change could take months or quarters to build. Management had become bloated to accommodate career growth and the company culture felt too soft and entitled for my own taste. Healthy debate and criticism was replaced by a default refrain of “no, that can’t be done” or “another team owns that so don’t touch it”. Teams could spend months building a feature and then some last-minute kerfuffle meant it’d get killed for being too risky. Just talking directly to customers could turn into a turf war and create deadlocks between functions. I recall one such episode where a teammate spent a month trying to get clearance to reach out to some creators. He went through 3 layers of management and 6 different functional teams. In the end 4 executives were involved in the approval. It was insanity, and unfortunately I saw several top performers get burnt out and demoralized after exhausting experiences like that. Most people were good at their jobs but it was nearly impossible to fire poor performers — instead they got shuffled around to other teams because few managers had the will or resources to figure out how to get them out. A high performance culture pulls everyone up, but the opposite weighs everyone down. Twitter often felt like a place that kept squandering its own potential, which was sad and frustrating to see. The person who was best at cutting through the BS and inspiring a vision during my tenure was Kayvon Beykpour, but he wasn’t fully empowered to run the company since he wasn’t the CEO. Despite those real issues, I was lucky enough to work with some of the most talented people in the business at Twitter in product, design, engineering, research, legal, BD, trust & safety, marketing, PR and more. Often it was a small cross-functional team of intrinsically motivated people who made the biggest impact by challenging some core assumption. Those teams were very fun to be on but they felt like the exception rather than the rule. The months of waiting for the deal to close in 2022 were particularly slow and painful; it felt like leadership hid behind lawyers and legal language as all answers about the company’s future notoriously included the phrase “fiduciary duty”. Colleagues openly talked about how Twitter was being sold because leadership didn’t have conviction in their own plan or ability to fix longstanding problems. Although I didn’t know much about Elon I was cautiously optimistic – I saw him as the guy who built incredible and enduring companies like Tesla and SpaceX, so perhaps his private ownership could shake things up and breathe new life into the company. My take on what’s happened since then is full of lived nuance. When people ask why I stayed it’s easy to answer: optimism, curiosity, personal growth and money. From the beginning I saw that some changes Elon was going to make were smart and others were stupid, but when I’m on a team I uphold the philosophy of “praise in public and criticize in private”. I was far from a silent wallflower. I shared my opinions openly and pushed back often, both before and after the acquisition. I made peace with the fact that I didn’t have psychological safety at Twitter 2.0 and that meant I could be fired at any moment, and for no reason at all. I watched it happen repeatedly and saw how negatively it impacted team morale. Although I couldn’t change the situation I did my best to shine a light on folks who were doing important work while being an emotionally supportive leader for those who were struggling to adapt to the more brutalist and hardcore culture. In person Elon is oddly charming and he’s genuinely funny. He also has personality quirks like telling the same stories and jokes over and over. The challenge is his personality and demeanor can turn on a dime going from excited to angry. Since it was hard to read what mood he might be in and what his reaction would be to any given thing, people quickly became afraid of being called into meetings or having to share negative news with him. At times it felt like the inner circle was too zealous and fanatical in their unwavering support of everything he said. When individuals encouraged me to be careful about what I said I politely thanked them and said I would not be taking their advice. I had no interest in adding to a culture of fear or walking on eggshells around Elon. Either he would respect me for being real or he could fire me. Either outcome was okay. I quickly learned that product and business decisions were nearly always the result of him following his gut instinct, and he didn’t seem compelled to seek out or rely on a lot of data or expertise to inform it. That was particularly frustrating for me since I believed I had useful institutional knowledge that could help him make better decisions. Instead he'd poll Twitter, ask a friend, or even ask his biographer for product advice. At times it seemed he trusted random feedback more than the people in the room who spent their lives dedicated to tackling the problem at hand. I never figured out why and remain puzzled by it. I don’t think things had to be as difficult or dramatic as they turned out to be but I can’t say I’d bet against Elon or count him out. He’s smart and has enough money to make a lot of mistakes and then course correct when things go awry. As the largest shareholder he can tank the value in the short-term, but eventually he’ll need things to turn around. His focus on speed is incredible and he’s obviously not afraid of blowing things up, but now the real measure will be how it get reconstructed and if enough people want the new everything app he is building. I learned a ton from watching Elon up close – the good, the bad and the ugly. His boldness, passion and storytelling is inspiring, but his lack of process and empathy is painful. Elon has an exceptional talent for tackling hard physics-based problems but products that facilitate human connection and communication require a different type of social-emotional intelligence. Social networks are hard to kill but they’re not immune from death spirals. Only time will tell what the outcome will be but I hope X finds its footing because competition is good for consumers. In the meantime, I have a lot of empathy for the employees who are working tirelessly behind the scenes, the advertisers who want a stable platform to sell their stuff on, and the customers who are experiencing chaotic updates. It’s been a madhouse. Twitter moved at the speed of molasses and suffered from bureaucracy but now X is run by a mercurial leader whose instinct is driven by the unique and undoubtedly weird experience of being the biggest voice on the platform. Many of you know me from the sleeping bag incident where I slept on a conference room floor, so I figure, let’s talk about that too. Going viral was an odd and interesting experience. I was attacked by people on the left and called a billionaire bootlicker, while simultaneously being attacked by people on the right for being a working mom who was demonized as an example of a woman choosing her career over her family. Thankfully I can laugh at myself and I don’t take armchair keyboard ideologues too seriously. Being the main character on the timeline, even for a few minutes, requires a thick skin and a strong sense of self. The real story is pretty simple. I was given a nearly impossible deadline for his first project and as the product lead I would never ask anyone to do anything I wasn’t willing to do myself. So I worked round the clock alongside an amazing team spanning many timezones, and we delivered it on schedule – truly against the odds. It was intense but also fun. Those first few months were wildly crazy but I wanted to be there and I have no regrets. Showing up and giving it your all should, in most cases, be celebrated. Obviously you can’t work at that pace forever but there are moments where bursts are mission critical. I’ve pulled many all-nighters in my career and also when I was a student for something that mattered to me. I don’t regret putting in long hours or being ambitious, and feel proud of how far I’ve come from where I started thanks in part to that type of work ethic. I think of life as a game, and being at Twitter after the acquisition was like playing life at Level 10 on Hard Mode. Since I like taking on difficult challenges I found it interesting and rewarding because I was growing and learning so rapidly. I realize our society today trends toward polarization but when it comes to this app, its owner, and its future, I am neither a fangirl nor a hater — I’m an optimistic pragmatist. This may really irritate the internet but you cannot pigeonhole me into some radical position of either loving or hating every change that’s occurred. I escaped my fundamentalist upbringing and am a free thinker these days. Everyone can be seen as both a hero or a villain, depending on who is telling what angle of the story. Elon doesn’t deserve to be venerated or vilified. He’s a complicated person with an unfathomable amount of financial and geopolitical power which is why humanity needs him to err on the side of goodness, rather than political divisiveness and pettiness. I disagree with many of his decisions and am surprised by his willingness to burn so much down, but with enough money and time, something new & innovative may emerge. I hope it does. Sometimes I get asked about how I felt when I got laid off, and the truth is it was the best gift I’ve ever received. Sure the headlines and punchlines wrote themselves but I was battle hardened by then. I knew that I’d worked in a way where I could walk out with my head held high. I have no bitterness about the Product Management team being dismantled, and it made sense for me to exit as nearly all of the remaining PMs were let go. Going on a sabbatical afterward has been exactly what I needed to decompress and I’m finally feeling rested and relaxed. I’m a creative and a builder, so sooner than later I’ll jump back into a high intensity company but I’m grateful for this season of thinking, reading, traveling and being with people I love. After having time to reflect I believe more than ever that the very best outcomes flow from great leadership that combines the head and the heart. I’d be remiss if I didn’t note that in all of this there is also a cautionary tale for anyone who succeeds at something — which is that the higher you climb, the smaller your world becomes. It’s a strange paradox but the richest and most powerful people are also some of the most isolated. I found myself frequently looking at Elon and seeing a person who seemed quite alone because his time and energy was so purely devoted to work, which is not the model of a life I want to live. Money and fame can create psychological prisons which may worsen mental health conditions. We’ve all seen high profile cases of celebrities who end up with some combination of depression, paranoia, delusions of grandeur, mania and/or erratic behavior. Living in an echo chamber is dangerous and being at the top makes a person even more susceptible to being surrounded by yes people when nearly everyone around you is on the payroll and somehow stands to benefit from being in your orbit. Figuring out how to keep “better angels” around in the form of family, friends, and teammates is critical to staying on the rails and enduring intense ups and downs. Everyone needs to hear hard truths sometimes and if you fire all the people who speak up then the reality distortion field may just turn into a vortex. I was drawn to Twitter because I’m obsessed with the problem of loneliness and connection between people. I find it fascinating & troubling that humans are getting lonelier as we simultaneously create a world that’s both safer and wealthier. I don’t believe that trade-off has to exist, which is why I keep returning to that theme in my personal and professional life. I realize this is too long of a tweet but Twitter was a weird and special place on the internet, and I’m grateful to have played a teeny tiny role in its story and evolution. I’m here for whatever comes next — on this app and in new places. Consumer social is very much alive and at a fascinating juncture, so I’ll be watching and participating and sharing hot takes because I don’t want to, and probably can’t, turn that part of me off. Perhaps X becomes a resounding success. Or it fails epically. Either way, I expect it will continue to be a very entertaining ride. 🫡

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Can’t believe it’s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how cliché it is, but I seriously got chills once “Roundball Rock” started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bug—just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the “Prime” experience. God, can’t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If you’ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a “special contributor”. “Insights to Excellence” is sadly everything I thought it would be… nothing. He wasn’t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why he’s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. “To pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.” - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets weren’t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didn’t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesn’t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. What’s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, “Who’s the 5th Thunder starter?” as we wait for JDub’s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didn’t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second half… for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Cason’s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). There’s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. “Not surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.” - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup It’s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)—especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. You’d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but no… he’s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, he’s attempted eight threes. Dude averaged 1.2 attempts per game last year. The hitch in his shot appears to be gone, so hey, this could be real (doubt it). All I know is that if it is, it’ll do wonders for his ceiling on sites that reward threes (DK). Also, going 10 of 11 from the line is something worth paying attention to. He was a 69.2% free-throw shooter last season. On the flip side, Amen Thompson (18 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast) had seven attempts from behind the arc and missed them all. Sucks, but his shot still looks flat. There’s no lift. While we’re here on Thompson, he had to leave the game late because of cramps. SIX) The Reed Conundrum I’ll give Reed Sheppard (9 pts, 4 ast, 37.9% TS, 28 min) this; he’s a confident motherfucker, and I love that about him (in a cute way). It’s hilarious how many times he looked off KD in this game. He’s gonna have stretches where he’s feeling it and looks automatic, but is it really gonna be worth it if his defense looks this dreadful? He can’t stay in front of anyone. The Thunder hunted and won that matchup with ease all night. Amen getting cramped up in OT1 really salvaged his minutes, cause I didn’t think he was gonna see the court again. Again, I know it’s only one game, but a couple more performances like this and things could get ugly. SEVEN) KD Gets Away With One Or should that say gets away with none? Kevin Durant (23 points, 9 rebounds) made his Rockets debut, and there’re gonna be two things you take away from it. Why’d you trade for him again? He was pretty much non-existent when they needed him most down the stretch, with a 12.5 USG% in both OT’s. There shouldn’t have been a second overtime. KD was clearly seen calling for a timeout after a rebound with about a second left on the clock. The problem is, they didn’t have any–He Webber’d it. He should have been T’d up, giving the Thunder a free throw to potentially end the game. Zarba and his buddies even got together to talk it over once the buzzer sounded, but did nothing. Strange, but luckily, it didn’t end up mattering much since OKC won in the second overtime. “Kevin definitely called timeout 3 times… They just missed it.” - SGA The Thunder beat the Rockets 125-124. EIGHT) Kuminga Starts Gallagher and I both felt pretty confident (sounds so stupid saying that with Kerr) that had Mosey Moody been available for this one, he would have been named the fifth starter, but his calf’s still bothering him. Steve Kerr decided to start Jonathan Kuminga (17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 33 minutes) instead, rewarding him for a strong preseason. There might be some more rewards coming because, whew, this is exactly what they’ve been wanting to see from him for the last couple of years, especially the boards. You wouldn’t know it from looking at Luka’s box score, but JK did about as well as you could defending him; he made his threes (4-6 3PT) and consistently found the open man. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that he starts again against Denver on Thursday Let the showcasing begin. “When you ask for opportunity, you must deliver. He’s been very vocal about his opportunity and he delivered.” - Draymond Green on Jonathan Kuminga “I just wanna help JK be great… We’ve been kickin' it. Hanging out. Watching film and just working on our game together. I know how great he wants to be and how great he can be.” - Jimmy Butler on mentoring Jonathan Kuminga NINE) Jimmy Being Jimmy One of the funnier moments of the night came post-game, when Jimmy Butler talked about a bet he made with Draymond Green. The wager is that he’ll have a better free-throw percentage than Steph Curry this season. Deadass, hahaha. He admitted that it’s probably a bad bet but I still love that he does this type of shit. Two years ago, he said he was playfully aiming to shoot 50.0% from three. He obviously didn’t hit that mark, but he did shoot a career-best 41.4% that season. If you’re wondering how the bet is looking to start after Game 1: Jimmy Butler: 16-16 FT (100.0%) Steph Curry: 8-8 FT (100.0%) Will keep you updated as the season goes. Jesus, 16 free throw attempts. “No chance.” - Steph Curry when asked if Jimmy Butler has any shot at winning the bet Before we’re done with GS, a shoutout to Will Richard (5 points, 14 minutes). We tease Kerr all the time about playing these randos, but this kid looks like he can actually play. TEN) All Luka and Austin The Lakers are gonna struggle hard while LeBron’s out. They just don’t have any other guys on the team that can create. Luka Doncic (43 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 34.7% USG) and Austin Reaves (26 points, 9 assists, 30.1% USG) scored or assisted on 97 of the Lakers' 109 points. So wild. Marcus Smart (9 points) was the first sub off the bench. As for DeAndre Ayton’s debut (10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 turnovers), let’s just say it didn’t take long for the Lakers’ fan base to turn on him. Poor guy looked lost out there. "We just started. This is probably the second game we've played together." - Rui Hachimura on what the difference was for the Lakers "The trend I see is that we continue to be a terrible third-quarter team." - JJ Redick The Warriors beat the Lakers 119-109.

Hiring? Ex-Air Canada worker and terrorist supporter is looking for work We have yet another update on the not-so-sensational Sammy Allouba. Allouba is the now ex-Air Canada employee, who until recently, worked out of Toronto Pearson International Airport. Allouba had access to luggage and aircraft. That was a tad problematic given his vile social media postings. You see, Allouba went out of his way to convey hatred against Jews, Israelis, Iranians, and even anti-Hamas Palestinians. He also glorified designated terrorist groups and individual terrorists. Don’t know about you, but we wouldn’t want to see this wannabe-jihadi working at a corner gas station much less Canada’s largest airport. But when Rebel News exposed this charmer last month, Air Canada ended up terminating him. As to why Air Canada tolerated this individual for so long is beyond our paygrade. But nevertheless, Air Canada did do the right thing albeit for the wrong reason. Which is to say, the airline fired Allouba so it wouldn’t endure any more bad publicity. But a win is a win, we suppose. Of note, Allouba was also pursuing a side hustle. He’s an aspiring actor, you see. He was represented by a Toronto-based agency called The Casting Solution. You might notice we’re using the past-tense, because when the agency’s principal, Samantha Rose, learned of his hatred online, suddenly Allouba was no longer represented by her agency. You see, there aren’t many TV and movie productions out there keen on hiring terrorism supporters. And so it is as they say in Hollywood, Sammy’s never going to have lunch in this town again… In the aftermath, Allouba scrubbed his social media. But just the other day, like a piece of rancid driftwood, he resurfaced on Facebook under the handle of Sammy AI. I don’t know if AI stands for Artificial Intelligence or Absence of Intelligence. But never mind. Here’s what Allouba had to say in a post entitled, “Feeling drained”: “Good morning everyone. Yes, I’m back.” “Everyone.” Who’s everyone? Who in their right mind gives a rodent’s rectum about Sammy Allouba? Let’s continue: “So, here’s the short version. Since the end of January I have been dealing with an extremely unfortunate situation that came up at work. I don’t want to get into details here.” Oh, why don’t you want to get into details, Sammy? Are you maybe ashamed of the details? By the way, here are some of those “details” Allouba once shared with the world via social media. For starters, Allouba openly called for the elimination of almost 10 million Israelis. He wanted to see that task carried out by the Iranian regime (even though the mullahs would seem to have their hands full at the moment…) Allouba also states he’s a proud supporter of designated terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. He even praises Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. Notably, it’s not just Israelis and Jews Allouba hates. He has also expressed interest in seeing anti-regime Iranians murdered. Same goes for anti-Hamas Palestinians. Allouba pretty much loathes anyone that chooses civilization over savagery. Let’s continue with his most recent post: “Those of you who see me in-person know what I’m referring to and I love you for your support.” Say, what’s the over/under line for the number of Sammy Allouba supporters out there? We’re going to set it at 4. Let’s carry on: “I’m sad to say that it’s cost me my job at Air Canada, a job you all know I really enjoyed and cherished, and it’s cost me my representation with talent agency. At the moment, I’m looking for new F/T work. As far as my representation goes… that might take a minute. I’m handling everything as best I can, but to say my mental health has taken a beating is putting it mildly.” Oh-oh! Red alert! Are you taking notes RCMP and CSIS? We have someone on team terror that is confessing to a mental health crisis. Call us overcautious, but you might want to pay Sammy a house call… Now the following statement raises even more red flags methinks: “My work union is doing what they can for me with regard to getting my job back, but the outlook isn’t great.” This is staggering. Instead of Sammy’s union saying “good luck and good riddance” to him, the union allegedly thinks Allouba should remain with the rank and file? Really? Why? Whatever happened to public safety being paramount? Indeed, what was Air Canada supposed to do once Allouba was exposed? How many times in the aftermath of a mass shooting do we hear the refrain of, “If only there were telltale signs that the individual had mayhem on his mind?” Sammy Allouba gleefully stated his agenda in black and white. He is the author of his own misfortune. But allow us to continue with Allouba’s whine-fest: “If anyone knows of any fruitful F/T work opportunities, please send it my way. It would mean the world to me. I hate asking, but here I am. I know I’ll be fine in the end, but I certainly don’t feel like it right now.” Two things: this boo-hoo/woe is me post is right out of the Islamist playbook. Which is to say, when all else fails, play the victim card. Secondly, where is the contrition? Where is the apology for all those previous vile postings? There is none. Clearly this rabid leopard is not changing his spots. Third, everyone’s gotta eat, right? So, we appeal to you, dear viewers: do you have a suggestion for poor Sammy re: a future employment opportunity? Something, of course, that does not involve this cat being anywhere near the aviation business. REPORT by David Menzies:

Mehdi Hasan unmasked: this is how he sees non-Muslims as animals, as diseased and ignorant kafirs. A Muslim for whom the Quran as presented here serves as his lens on the world; and yet he lies and conceals this fact from us to advance the Quran's goal: our destruction. In these recordings he is caught saying his true thoughts about us without realizing it. 1. different from the rest of the non-Muslims, from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfill any desire. Once we do that, we are lost. In Islam, to believe is to know. To disbelieve is not to know. That is what it fundamentally comes down to. It is to remain ignorant, to cover up knowledge, after all, what is Kafir? Kafir comes from the root word, which means to cover up, to conceal. 2. The Kafir is the one who covers up that knowledge which is clear. The French orientalist scholar Lamendes, he once wrote that the Quran is not far from considering unbelief, disbelief as an infirmity, as an illness, as a disease of the human mind. SubhanAllah, non-Muslims point this out to us. 3. and of course the Kafir, the disbelievers, the atheists who remain deaf and blind to the teachings of Islam, the rational message of the Quran, they are described in the Quran as quote, a people of no intelligence, Allah said, not of no morality, not of no belief, a people of no intelligence. because they are incapable of the intellectual effort it requires to shake off those blind prejudices, to shake off those easy assumptions about this world, about the existence of God. In this respect, the Quran described the atheists as cattle, as cattle as those who go into graves and do not suffer wonder about this world. 4. All of these unanimously agree that at the very minimum, If Yazid was not a Kafir then at the very minimum, he was a Fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer, a drunkard, a dog lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a paedophile a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother. Quran 7:179 And surely, We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, and they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones. Islamic Art of War By: Ofer Binshtok Islam wages a continuous global war through various methods and with varying intensity against non-Muslims 24/7, as commanded by the Quran and Muhammad, a war that has persisted for approximately 1400 years and will continue indefinitely. In places where non-Muslims grow weary of conflict and seek peace, avoiding confrontation and attempting to appease Islam, believing they have achieved tranquility through signing agreements with Islam and even allowing its migration into their territories, during this time, Islam builds its strength and attacks them when it senses it has the upper hand, from within and from outside, in the most brutal way possible. This war strategy relies on the Islamic Art of War, based on the Quran and Muhammad's Sunnah. Quran 8:39 - The goal: a world containing only Muslims through war. Quran 98:6 - Demonization of non-Muslims. Quran 3:28 - Deceive non-Muslims. Quran 47:35 - Do not seek peace when you have the upper hand. In other words, attack. Quran 8:60 - During a hudna (ceasefire), Islam prepares for war. Quran 9:123 - Attack nearby non-Muslims. Quran 9:5 - Kill every non-Muslim in the world. In 622 AD, Muhammad migrated from Mecca to the settlement of Medina (Yathrib) in the Arabian Peninsula, where he was received as a refugee by the Jews who had established and controlled the prosperous region, granting him shelter. Within approximately eight years, after building his strength, Muhammad eliminated the presence of Jews and other non-Muslims in the area. In 628 AD, Muhammad signed a ten-year hudna (truce) agreement in Hudaibiya with the Quraysh tribe of Mecca, as his forces were weaker than theirs. In 630 AD, when his power was sufficiently strong, he violated the agreement with the Quraysh, attacked Mecca, conquered it with ease, and eradicated all other cultures present there. Muhammad's Sunnah, which is binding in Islam according to Quran 33:21, commands every Muslim to emulate all of Muhammad’s words and deeds, which are considered sacred. A Muslim must be loyal only to the Islamic Ummah" By: Ofer Binshtok The identity of the Muslim is solely to be a part of the global Islamic Ummah, without any connection to a nation-state or to another culture that is not the Islamic Ummah. The idea of independent Islamic nation-states contradicts the Islamic idea as it is found in the Quran and Muhammad's Sunnah. A Muslim, wherever he is in the world, is part of the Islamic Ummah. A Ummah that should be ruled by a caliph through Sharia law. Islam is a global political-religious worldview of a world without borders. The existing Islamic nation-states are actually an act of heresy. A disbeliever who converts to Islam must completely break away from his former identity, become part of the Islamic Ummah, and serve its purposes personally. Every Muslim, wherever he is, is personally obligated to act so that the Islamic Ummah will be established—that is to say, to collapse every nation-state that exists in the world so that the Islamic Ummah will replace it. The fact that the idea of Ummah is included in the central motif of the Quran is evidence of the vital significance of this concept. In Islamic terminology, the term "Ummah" refers to the religious community, also known as the Islamic holy community. This is the primary interpretation of the phrase found in the Quran. Quran 5.51: "O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyâ’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliyâ’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Auliyâ’), then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust)." Quran 2.143 "Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful." Quran 3.104 "Let there be one nation of you, calling to good, and bidding to honour, and forbidding dishonour; those are the prosperers." Quran 3.110 "You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient." Quran 16.92 "And be not like her who undoes the thread which she has spun after it has become strong, by taking your oaths a means of deception among yourselves, lest a nation may be more numerous than another nation. Allah only tests you by this [i.e who obeys Allah and fulfills Allah's Covenant and who disobeys Allah and breaks Allah's Covenant]. And on the Day of Resurrection, He will certainly make clear to you that wherein you used to differ [i.e. a believer confesses and believes in the Oneness of Allah and in the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad SAW which the disbeliever denies it and that was their difference amongst them in the life of this world]." Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, volume 1, page 649: Muhammad said, "The earth was made a mosque for me." Sahih al-Bukhari, 3167: "The Prophet said, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle." Because Muhammad admitted to using terrorism, committing an act of terrorism is considered as a holy deed in Islam." (122) CHAPTER. The statement of the Prophet: I have been made victorious for a distance of one month journey with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy). The Statement of Allah: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve...(V.3:151) Sahih Al-B ukhari\ translated by Muhammad Muhsin Khan.- Riyadh. Volume 4. (122) CHAPTER. (56 - THE BOOK OF JIHAD) (Fighting for Allah's Cause) Page – 140. Hadith 2977 - Narrated AbU Hurairah: Allah's Messenger A said: "....and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)... Sahih Al-B ukhari\ translated by Muhammad Muhsin Khan.- Riyadh. Volume 4. (122) CHAPTER. (56 - THE BOOK OF JIHAD) (Fighting for Allah's Cause) Page – 140. Quran 68.4 And indeed, you are (Muhammad) of a great moral character. Quran 33.21 "Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day, and remembers Allâh much." "When a Muslim looks at a non-Muslim, the Quran creates a lens for him through which he sees and understands the non-Muslim, composed of these three verses (and there are many more):" 8:55, 98:6, and 9:28. Verses 8:55 and 98:6 portray non-Muslims as the worst creatures, even worse than cockroaches, bedbugs, and ticks. Verse 9:28 portrays non-Muslims as physically and spiritually filthy, akin to the filth of excrement. In summary: When a Muslim looks at a non-Muslim, he sees him through the lens of the Quran as the worst creatures, worse than cockroaches and ticks, and physically and spiritually filthy to the level of excrement. Quran 8.55 “Verily, The worst of moving (living) creatures before Allâh are those who disbelieve, - so they shall not believe.” Quran 98.6: "Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islâm, the Qur’ân and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures." Quran 9.28: “O you who believe (in Allâh’s Oneness and in His Messenger Muhammad!) Verily, the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, and in the Message of Muhammad) are Najasun (impure). [1] So let them not come near Al-Masjidal-Harâm (at Makkah) after this year; and if you fear poverty, Allâh will enrich you if He wills, out of His Bounty. Surely, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.” (V.9:28) Their impurity is spiritual and physical: spiritual, because they don’t believe in Allâh’s Oneness and in His Prophet Muhammad; and physical, because they lack personal hygiene (filthy as regards urine, stools and blood). And the word Najas is used only for those persons who have spiritual impurity e.g. Al-Mushrikûn. Quran 9.14 "Fight against them so that Allâh will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people." Quran 8.39: "...fight them until disbelief (non-Muslims) disappears and the whole Dean (way of life) is for Allah alone...(for Islam)” 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." Quran 2.191: "The sin of disbelief in Allah is greater than committing murder." "The concept of Jihad as defined by Sharia law." By: Ofer binshtok. 09.0 JIHAD (0: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad, "We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad." The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as: (1) "Fighting is prescribed for you" (Koran 2:216); (2) "Slay them wherever you find them" (Koran 4:89); (3) "Fight the idolators utterly" (Koran 9:36); and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah"; and the hadith reported by Muslim, "To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it." Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight. himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.) THE OBLIGATORY CHARACTER OF JIHAD 09.1 Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (0: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), "He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad," and Allah Most High having said: "Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each. Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95). If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims. The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: 09.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year. The second state is when non-Muslims invade a Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can). 09.2 jihad is personally obligatory upon all 'those present in the battle lines (A: and to flee is an enormity (dis: pH)) (0: provided one is able to fight. If unable, because of illness or the death of one's mount when not able to fight on foot, or because one no longer has a weapon, then one may leave. One may also leave if the opposing non-Muslim army is more than twice the size of the Muslim force). 09.3 Jihad is also (0: personally) obligatory for everyone (0: able to perform it, male or female, old or young) when the enemy has surrounded the Muslims (0: on every side, having entered our territory, even if the land consists of ruins, wilderness, or mountains, for non-Muslim forces entering Muslim lands is a weighty matter that cannot be ignored, but must be met with effort and struggle to repel them by every possible means. All of which is if conditions permit gathering (A: the above-mentioned) people, provisioning them, and readying them for war. If conditions do not permit this, as when the enemy has overrun the Muslims such that they are unable to provision or prepare themselves for war, then whoever is found by a non-Muslim and knows he will be killed if captured is obliged to defend himself in whatever way possible. But if not certain that he will be killed, meaning that he might or might not be, as when he might merely be taken captive, and he knows he will be killed if he does not surrender, then he may either surrender or fight. A woman too has a choice between fighting or surrendering if she is certain that she will not be subjected to lin indecent act if captured. If uncertain that she will be safe from such an act, she is obliged to fight, and surrender is not permissible). Source: Reliance of the Traveller - Revised Edition.
