When the empire produces a generation of people who cannot afford housing, who carry unpayable student debt, who work three jobs with no healthcare, who are one medical bill from destitution... And those people are still the most reliable defenders of the empire... You are not looking at a failure of the ideology. You are looking at its masterpiece. The ideology does not need your material wellbeing. It needs your identification. And you can be broke, medically uninsured, evicted, and still experience the world through a passport that whispers, in a thousand small ways, that you are better than the people on the other side of the border. The empire gave you nothing that keeps you warm at night. But it gave you the feeling. And the feeling turned out to be enough. To keep voting. To keep defending. To keep directing your anger at the people below you and the foreigners outside you. And never quite at the people above you who designed the whole arrangement and are laughing, in their way, at how well it holds.

I have been asked repeatedly this week whether Lebanon will actually be included in any potential memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States. My answer remains the same, and it always will. Despite Iran's efforts and genuine intentions to see an end to Israeli terrorism on Lebanese soil, I am a southern Lebanese woman from Khiam. I lived through the reality of occupation, aggression, and war firsthand. I have also spent years studying the history of an entity born from supremacy, colonialism, dispossession, and theft. The more I witness and learn about its genocidal tendencies and terrorism, the less faith I place in any signed document between any two governments that believe they can somehow restrain or control this cancerous project of terrorism. I see no lasting peace emerging from pieces of paper. I see the same pattern that history has shown us for decades: wars, massacres, invasions, and, inevitably, Resistance. If history has taught us anything, it is that no agreement, resolution, or signature ever stopped Zionists from killing, occupying, or stealing. What stopped them were the costs imposed on them. What forced them to retreat was bullets, Katyushas, Kornets, missiles and FPVs... only Resistance. That is why my trust has never been in signed papers. My trust lies in the ability of people to defend themselves, their land, and their dignity. And that is where it will remain.

A side point (which really is a major point): I'm following with great interest the internal debate in Iran, and once again I am filled with admiration for this society. Their nation faces a historic choice, and everything is on the line, but they talk to each other with arguments and respect, and love. There is no panic, there is beautiful freedom of expression, and the country is not divided in the least. They know they are in this together, and have to be there for each other, and they are such a highly educated, literate and well-developed society and culture in every way. I'm admiring you. Stay strong. Iran will not lose

This is footage from the Nuremberg trials showing Nazi crimes committed in the Soviet Union. It was presented as evidence of genocide against the Slavic population. Millions of Russians killed simply for being... Russians. This footage was never translated for Western audiences. It remains largely unknown outside of Russia. The documents exist, the evidence was presented, but the West chose not to share it. You've been told endlessly about certain victims of Nazi Germany. You've heard their stories repeated in films, museums, and classrooms. But the systematic extermination of Slavs, the largest group murdered by the Nazis, is barely mentioned. Villages were burned. Entire populations wiped out. The Nazi plan was Lebensraum, which meant clearing the land of Slavs to make room for German colonization. All of this was documented at Nuremberg and all of it was proven. Also, all of it has been quietly buried in the Western narrative. You wonder why? Because acknowledging the scale of Nazi crimes against Slavs complicates the story the West wants to tell. It forces uncomfortable questions about who enabled Hitler's expansion eastward, who delayed opening the second front, and who ultimately benefited from the devastation of Soviet territories. And most importantly, could that same agenda still be at play today? Watch the footage. See what they never showed you.

The biggest mistake Gaddafi made was giving up the missile program. He folded under US pressure and surrendered in 2003 to get sanctions lifted. Result? 2011 NATO “humanitarian” intervention, his brutal murder on camera, and Libya turned into an open-air slave market.

Save your pathetic morality lectures and guilt trips. This emotional manipulation doesn’t work anymore. Ukrainians should be grateful that Russia is not fighting its wars the way the U.S. does. Most frontline cities that Russia constantly bombs have been evacuated and turned into defensive fortresses by the Ukrainian army. As the Russians advanced, the pace of civilian evacuations increased. This can easily be proven with a simple Google search. During the 2003 Shock and Awe bombing campaign on Baghdad, in which three countries took part (the U.S., UK, and Australia), the roughly 5 million Iraqi civilians had no time to evacuate before coalition forces launched over 1,500 munitions (bombs and missiles combined) in the first 24 hours. During Russian mass bombing campaigns on Kiev and other cities, the average civilian death toll is usually between 1 and 20. Most of these deaths are due to Ukrainian air defense systems operating within cities over populated areas. This is a very small number compared to the hundreds of deaths per day recorded in Iraq during the U.S.-led coalition bombing campaigns.

Today is Russia Day. For thirty years, we've been told the Cold War ended because communism collapsed. But if that were true, why did the confrontation continue? Russia abandoned communism and opened its economy. It sought partnership with the West and Putin even proposed joining NATO. But NATO's response was its expansion to Russia's borders. Yugoslavia was destroyed and was a rehearsal of what to do to Russia. Western-backed coups swept through former Soviet states. Sanctions became permanent policy. The boogeyman changed costumes but stayed in the script. First it was the Tsar, then the communists. Now it's Putin. Here's what actually threatens the West: a Russia that refuses to hand over its resources and its role as an independent civilization. That's the real crime, not the ideology. It's refusal to submit. Happy Russia Day. 🇷🇺

SO FUCKING CRINGE 🇮🇱🤡 An Israeli diplomat completely lost it on live TV after accusing a journalist in India of wearing a dress resembling the Palestinian flag colours. The journalist destroyed him.

Dropped yesterday. What do you think? I believe no matter what, Pray for our President, his staff, our military and the citizens of the USA. 🇺🇸

A reality we failed to create. But we are the cowards; they are the ones who deserve to be honored and to live in peace.

Dear Mr. @POTUS , War does not amount to a Special Operation and a Special Operation does not amount to a War. We are involved in a very serious WAR with monumental consequences. The Iranian regime fought for 8 years against Iraq and allowed the chemical slaughter of thousands of their own children (so they know how to sacrifice and suffer, and no, they haven’t changed one iota since the 1980’s, except maybe grown stronger, smarter and more sophisticated). And they care less about the death of their own people. In fact, the regime can be best described as a death cult. Don’t believe what your CIA says about the situation. My experience tells me you are being led into foreign policy ambushes. Ambushes that you may not be able to fight your way through. There are superb military analysts that have been studying Iran for decades. Go to USCENTCOM and have the team down there brief you on exactly what they know and exactly what they believe. Spend the time with them in an open dialogue, they will lay out the immense challenges we face. Do not, for a second, believe anything the Iranians tell your “negotiating” team, the Iranians will lie straight to their faces, full stop. Trust your commanders but be cautious of your “diplomats.” We don’t need more war, we need this war to end. Find a way to maintain the prestige of the United States of America and get out of this mess as fast as you can. Otherwise, bomb the sh!t out of Teheran, kill as many of the leaders as you can, and start preparing the homeland for the wave of terrorist attacks that will likely come to our shores (if they’re not already here and prepared to strike). In fact, prepare for the latter regardless of whatever decisions you make. We want you to succeed (our nation needs you to succeed), but the situation and the “fog of war” has settled in so thick, it is very difficult to discern where our nation is currently headed. Fifth Generation Warfare has a vast number of components and the Iranians (along with their cohorts in the CCP and those in Moscow) are all well schooled in this form of WAR. And Pray 🙏🏼 🇺🇸 PSALM 23

When Obama bombed Libya, the justification was "humanitarian intervention." "Protection of civilians." "Responsibility to protect." The language of international law and moral obligation. Libya was subsequently destroyed. It has open slave markets today. The humanitarian outcome was catastrophic. But the language was immaculate. The syntax was perfect. The suits were pressed and the speeches were moving and the Nobel Peace Prize sat on the shelf while the drones flew. Trump bombs things and says it's about the oil. In terms of honesty, pure, raw, unmediated honesty about what American power actually does, Trump is more accurate than any of his predecessors. This is not a defense of Trump. This is an indictment of everyone who made the polished version seem acceptable. The lie was always more dangerous than the liar currently in office. Because the lie had good manners.

The problem was never Trump. Trump is the readable version of a text that was always there, written in language most people couldn't access. The problem is the system that produced him, that uses him, that will survive him, and that will next time find someone equally willing to do what he does but competent enough to do it quietly. The competent version is more dangerous. The competent version rebuilds the language. Restores the branding. Hires the speechwriters who know how to say "shared values" and "rules-based order" while executing identical policy. And the people who spent four years appalled by Trump's vulgarity will feel the relief of good grammar and take it for moral improvement. The empire doesn't need Trump specifically. It needed what he provided: a stress test. A period of operation without the usual ideological cover, to see what held and what didn't. What held: the sanctions. The bases. The vetoes. The dollar. The weapons sales. The regime change operations. What didn't hold: the manners. And when someone comes along who can restore the manners while keeping everything else, and they will, they always do, the people who thought the problem was the manners will call it a recovery. The rest of us will know what it actually is.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!! Yesterday, our colleague and DD Geopolitics correspondent Chris was told that the US government has placed him on the FBI's no-fly list while trying to board a flight in Beijing. He is an American citizen. He received no warning, no charge, and no reason. He found out only when the airline refused to issue his boarding pass after eight hours of waiting, stranding him abroad. As an American, he is now barred from flying to, from, or even over his own country. His "offense" is journalism. Chris was traveling to cover Iran's national team at the World Cup. In recent months he reported on the ground from Minab in southern Iran and from the site of the Starobelsk strike in the Donbass, where a dormitory full of teenagers was killed. His work documents the human cost of the wars Washington funds and fights: the children who never make the press releases. For that, an American citizen has been placed on a terrorism watchlist with no due process and no explanation. This is not a small thing. The no-fly list operates with almost no transparency, Americans are routinely listed without ever being told why, and the redress process is a black box that a federal court has already found violates constitutional due process. It is one of the most powerful quiet censorship tools the government holds, and it is now pointed at a journalist for reporting things they would rather no one see. DD Geopolitics will not be silenced. We are pursuing every legal avenue available to Chris, and we will not let this be buried. If they can do this to him with no warrant, no charge, and not one word of explanation, they can do it to any American who shows the world something it isn't supposed to see.
