🔥 BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident @JJJuraid, invited by UN Watch:
Mr. Chair,
I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.
Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.
So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?
Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.
What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.
There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.
I don't believe in miracles, but this is one.
So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?
Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.
Thank you.

Elon Musk just explained how Starlink moves the GDP of entire nations.
The formula is so simple it should embarrass every development agency on the planet.
Musk: “GDP is a function of average productivity per person.”
Productivity per person goes up. GDP goes up. That is the whole equation.
Everything else is decoration.
And connectivity is the single largest lever on Earth for pushing that number.
Musk: “If you don’t have access to the internet, or it’s too expensive or low bandwidth, you cannot access the MIT lessons and you can’t sell the goods and services that you produce.”
No internet means no global knowledge. No global markets. No ability to sell to anyone beyond your village or learn from anyone outside of it.
The penalty is total. And it has nothing to do with the person serving it.
There is a child alive right now who is as intelligent as anyone who has ever walked the halls of MIT.
She does not know it. Nobody around her knows it. Because the coordinates of her birth have no connectivity. No library. No signal. No link to the world that would show her what she is.
She will grow old inside a ceiling that geography built for her. Not because of talent. Not because of effort. Because of a satellite that had not been launched yet.
Musk: “Internet connectivity is certainly a candidate for one of the things that would do more to lift people out of poverty than anything else.”
Traditional infrastructure takes decades. Fiber has to be laid. Towers have to be built. Permits have to be approved. Capital has to be attracted to regions that cannot attract it.
Starlink bypasses all of it from orbit. No cables. No permits. No waiting for a government to prioritize your village. A dish goes up. Isolation ends.
Someone who could not access a textbook yesterday downloads MIT’s entire curriculum today. Someone who could only sell to neighbors starts selling to the planet tomorrow.
That is not an upgrade. That is a different life.
Musk: “Starlink will actually move the GDP of countries. Like it’s gonna be that kind of thing.”
He said it like a feature update. But read it again.
Move the GDP of countries. Not a company’s revenue. Not an industry’s output. The gross domestic product of nations. Shifted by one constellation.
The telecom industry spent decades deciding which regions were profitable enough to connect. The rest were written off. Starlink does not make that calculation. It covers the planet. Every farmer. Every welder. Every kid with a clear view of the sky.
The minds that will cure diseases, solve energy, and build things we cannot yet name are already alive. They are already thinking.
They have no signal.
Starlink is the first technology in human history that can reach them at the speed of deployment instead of the speed of bureaucracy.
And when those minds come online, they will not change their own lives. They will change the trajectory of the species.
That is what Musk actually built. Not a telecom company. The largest unlock of human potential ever launched from a single network.

@Ric_RTP Tell them to look at AquaFlowEnergy - 24/7 reliable green low cost power from rivers and tides to power data centres much faster than nuclear.

Trump just gave 13 tech billionaires the keys to America's AI policy.
But there's a HUGE conflict of interest...
The White House just announced the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Sounds boring. But wait until you understand what this is actually about.
Here's who's on it:
- Jensen Huang. CEO of Nvidia. His company sells the chips that EVERY AI company on Earth needs to survive. Nvidia is worth $4.4 trillion. And Jensen now gets to advise the president on the rules for the industry his company monopolizes.
- Mark Zuckerberg. CEO of Meta. Currently planning to fire 20% of his workforce (15,000 people) while spending $135 billion on AI this year. His company just took a Pentagon contract. Now he's advising on AI workforce policy. The same guy firing 15,000 workers will help decide what happens to American workers displaced by AI.
- Larry Ellison. Executive Chairman of Oracle. His company is $125 billion in debt. Bleeding cash. Betting everything on AI data centers funded by borrowed money from foreign banks. US lenders already turned him down. And he's now advising on AI infrastructure policy. The guy who can't get American banks to lend him money is going to shape how America builds its AI future.
- Marc Andreessen. The venture capitalist who literally wrote the manifesto called "The Techno-Optimist Manifesto" arguing that AI regulation is dangerous. His firm Andreessen Horowitz has billions invested in AI startups. He's now advising on AI regulation.
- Sergey Brin. Google co-founder. His company is spending $75 billion on AI this year and just issued $20 billion in debt including a 100-YEAR bond to fund it.
- Lisa Su. CEO of AMD. Nvidia's direct competitor. Both CEOs are on the same council. Both will advise on chip policy. Both have financial interests that directly conflict with each other AND with the public interest.
- Michael Dell. The guy who just dropped $6.25 billion on Trump's child investment accounts and gained $6 billion in market value the same week.
- Safra Catz. Oracle's CEO. Same company. Same debt crisis. Two Oracle execs on a 13 person council.
- Fred Ehrsam. Co-founder of Coinbase. The crypto exchange. On a council co-chaired by David Sacks, Trump's AI AND crypto czar. Crypto and AI policy being shaped by the same people who profit from both.
- Jacob DeWitte. CEO of Oklo, the nuclear startup Sam Altman chaired until last year. Oklo builds reactors to power AI data centers. Now advising on the energy policy his company depends on.
- Bob Mumgaard. CEO of Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Backed by Nvidia and Google. Building fusion reactors for AI data centers. His investors are sitting next to him on this council.
- David Friedberg. Venture capitalist. Part of the Sacks network.
- John Martinis. Google's former quantum computing lead. Built the chip that achieved quantum supremacy.
That's 13 people.
Combined market cap of the companies represented: Over $12 trillion.
Combined AI spending commitments for 2026 alone: Roughly $700 billion.
Zero consumer advocates. Zero labor representatives. Zero independent scientists. Zero ethicists.
The people spending $700 billion on AI are now advising the government on how to regulate AI.
The people firing hundreds of thousands of workers are now advising on workforce policy.
The people $125 billion in debt from AI bets are now advising on AI infrastructure spending.
This isn't a "council."
Every regulation this council recommends will directly affect their stock prices, their market positions, and their competitive advantages.
Jensen Huang advising on chip export policy affects Nvidia's revenue.
Zuckerberg advising on AI safety regulation affects Meta's product roadmap.
Ellison advising on cloud infrastructure policy affects Oracle's survival.
Andreessen advising on AI startup regulation affects his portfolio returns.
In any other industry, this would be called regulatory capture.
In tech, they call it the "Golden Age of Innovation."
11 more seats are open. The first meeting hasn't been announced yet.
But the rules of AI in America are about to be written by the people who profit the most from keeping them loose.
What do you think about this?

Albanese must stop lying.
We can all see the truth.
The mainstream media might be treating the government with respect, but the brutal world of social media tells the real story.
People are suffering, and we’ve had enough.
This is not the Australia we knew. Everything has been turned upside down and it accelerated in 2020.
Back in 2008, Labor held the 2020 summit. They brought together a room of the most unimpressive people known to humankind. They lectured each other, ate mints, drank water from silver jugs, and laughed a lot.
They pretended to have a vision for a better Australia.
I don’t remember them telling us about their plans to hammer in needless immigration, whilst completely collapsing our industrial base.
I don’t remember them telling us that they would build a giant scam in the name of the disabled and create more useless jobs and fake businesses than a country can prop up.
They didn’t tell us that they were going to borrow money faster than the printer can print it.
They certainly didn’t tell us about their plan to fill parliament up with Union hacks and people who have never had a real job, as they bounce from one scam to another.
They never did bother letting us know that they were going to leave us at the mercy of global markets for just about everything.
They did however tell us that they were prioritising trying to edit the world’s climate, instead of generating cheap and reliable power, at least they were truthful about that – unlike the Coalition, who promised to do the opposite, but failed to.
To be fair to Labor, the coalition helped them with just about every prosperity destroying hairbrained scheme possible.
It’s sad.
They’ve been negligent, they’ve lied and they’ve sold us out.
Both sides, and I don’t think it has been an accident. It has been too profitable for them to sell us out than to do the right things.
We pay the price today, as another aluminium smelter falls onto welfare as they socialise their losses. Losses caused more by bad government than bad business.
They are just the latest victim of our prosperity destroying system that prioritises just about everything but prosperity.
They’ve turned the nation into a giant government dependent economic wasteland.
Mining on one side and some head of cattle on the other.
Everything else, going, going, gone.
We are little more than a resource pit and cattle station. We used to be so much more than that – and the future was bright.
The establishment has destroyed this place, aided and abetted by the mainstream media and the political duopoly that ensured nobody that mattered ever really got caught.
It seems we can all see it now. Their lies fall on deaf ears. Their lack of vision and talent on show for all of us to see - as the protest in South Australia translated to new seats for One Nation.
The public are coming to the view that somebody - anybody else - is worth a try. After all, we couldn’t do much worse than the useless parliament that we have now.
Just about anything but the Greens are worth a shot.
Maybe that’s the solution, anyone but the current political establishment to end the status quo.
I just want Australia back.

🚨
I have moved a bill to abolish the Department of Multiculturalism NSW.
I HATE the policy of multiculturalism and support assimilation - here's why.
Most of the immigration debate in recent years has been about total numbers. The government has let in too many migrants too quickly and we’re suffering overpriced housing, overcrowded cities, overburdened infrastructure etc.
This is why I advocate for a five-year immigration pause ... but it's only half the story. We also need to have a serious rethink about how we encourage migrants to assimilate into Australian culture.
The woke left claim Australia doesn’t have any unique culture. They claim that our culture is “multi-culture” ... but that is logically incoherent and just plain wrong.
It’s true Australians have come from many countries, but over the centuries we have developed an Australian identity that is more than the sum of its parts.
Contrary to our political and cultural elites, most Australians still like Australia. We like our people, our history, our traditions and our way of life.
We do not want our culture to be replaced by a sudden influx of millions of foreigners. Most of these foreigners might be wonderful people, they might bring skills, have fun festivals and spicy foods, and they might be able to tick the “not a terrorist” box on the arrival form … but even if all of that is true, people who like the existing Australian culture (i.e. most of us) do not want to see our culture so casually replaced by a hodgepodge of foreign cultures.
That is why the migrants that have arrived should be expected to integrate into our way of life and assimilate into our culture. This is not a radical position. It has worked well with earlier waves of Australian immigration, and the same would be expected from you if you migrated to Japan or Brazil.
We don’t need to be pricks about it … the process can take time, and obviously people will remember where they came from … but assimilation is preferable to division and Balkanisation.
And yet the government promotes the exact opposite.
Rather than encouraging integration, or just leaving people alone to gradually assimilate, the NSW government has an agency dedicated subsidising our differences.
Multicultural NSW employs 140 bureaucrats and spends roughly $70 million of taxpayers’ money to encourage new migrants to stick with their old culture.
They are literally using our money to ensure that immigration causes more division and sectarianism than it would do otherwise. The agency needs to be scrapped. Afuera!
Abolishing Multicultural NSW would not ban people from eating Mexican food or celebrating Chinese New Year or speaking Polish. To each their own. But there’s no reason for the rest of the population to pay for these choices.
To rub salt into the wound, NSW Premier Ho Chi Minns then uses the existence of multiculturalism to justify censorship. He has claimed several times over the last year that multiculturalism is not compatible with vibrant free speech. A reasonable person would see this as an argument against multiculturalism, but amazingly Minns uses this as an argument against free speech!
The people of NSW and Australia were never asked about this trade off. Instead, the political class has taken our money to subsidise cultural division, and then used that division to justify cracking down on our free speech. This is Orwellian.
That is why the Libertarian Party has introduced a bill into NSW parliament to abolish Multicultural NSW and replace it with nothing. I encourage other MPs in other state parliaments to move a similar bill.
This bill will come on for debate in coming months. Labor will obviously oppose but will be interesting to see how the Libs and Nats vote.
If this repeal bill fails (for now) and taxpayers continue to be forced to fund various ethnic groups etc I encourage the British Australian Community (BAC) to apply for funding. As a general rule, the larger the ethnic group, the more the funding ... so BAC should easily get more funding than all the other groups combined.

Hey @AngusTaylorMP @mattjcan it would be ludicrous if you do not do a preference deal with @OneNationAus Don’t treat your traditional supporters with contempt . Why would you play into @AustralianLabor hands? The real enemy is Labor. Park your egos & get real. Work on saving this county from this diabolical Govt. Stronger together

Australia is a test case. No oil brought in by the Government and no excise tax relief. Farmers are suffering with diesel running out. Just like Covid, Aussie just comply because they trust the government. All around the world people are saying they won’t take another covid jab if it happens again. This time they’re getting jabbed in their hip pocket and it’s hurting.
Excise tax is 52% for petrol and diesel plus 10% Goods and Services Tax says Google.
It’s all to shut down each country for the final round up of the cabal minions, doctors, police, courts and anyone that pushed for the vax in 2021.
The sooner Trump takes over Australia the better.

History will one day witness that the UAE was the only one that stood with full strength against extremism and terrorism.
Alone, it endured a ferocious media campaign and ballistic missile attacks, and it never broke or retreated.
Everyone who supported Iran or the Brotherhood will one day find themselves regretting it and apologizing to the UAE.
The light of this region will never be extinguished… no matter how hard the dark winds try.
For whoever stands on the side of truth never loses 🇦🇪

Rape epidemics, cultures that treat women as property, military-aged men naturalised by the millions & Labor wants them here next
As a mother of daughters, I’m asking: how much risk to our girls are you willing to accept?
Australia first. Australia always.🇦🇺

Mr. President,
We went in hoping to topple the regime. It didn’t happen. We need to accept the outcome. But if we sit down now and let Iran dictate terms, we don’t just lose, we hand them the keys to a nightmare.
They walk free: nuclear program untouched, missiles rebuilt, oil worth fourteen trillion dollars flowing straight into their veins.
Backed by China and Russia, they become the first jihadi nuclear superpower, not a rogue state like North Korea, but a theocracy with global reach. No deterrence, no red lines, just suicidal ideology armed to the teeth.
What that means:
• Europe wakes up to Iranian ballistic missiles overhead, nuclear warheads possible, no red lines. Cities like Berlin, Paris, London? One wrong move, and it’s not just threat, it’s annihilation. No deterrence, just fear. Blackouts, evacuations, economies frozen. They pay first.
• The Sunni Arab world, Saudi, UAE, Egypt, faces existential fear: proxies swarm, oil weaponized, their own regimes toppled if they resist.
• The United States? We’ll take the blame forever, we’re the ones who sped up their nuclear program while swearing to stop it. Bombs, bluffs, missteps… every move pushed centrifuges faster, gave them breathing room. History will say: America, the superpower, accidentally built Iran’s bomb. Our legacy: enablers of the very threat we feared.
• The world order collapses. Tehran steps in, dictating who lives, who submits. Disobey? Death. Their Allah, their law, or total destruction.
This is the exact opposite of why we started. We promised: no nuclear Iran. If we surrender now, they win, forever.
The economy crashes. Markets tank. Backlash hits home. Allies bail. So what? Temporary pain beats eternal slavery. Put your career on the line. Truth doesn’t care about polls. Life doesn’t forgive compromise with the devil.
Forget Hormuz. Forget oil prices. Humanity survives spikes, we won’t survive kneeling.
Back the Kurds, Baluch, Arabs, Azeris, give them air cover, intel, safe zones. Let them rise up, declare their lines, cut Tehran’s oil and supply lines. Isolate the regime: no cash, no reach, no breathing room. Squeeze until they beg, or break.
It’ll take time. It’ll hurt. But surrender isn’t an option. We go all the way, until they fold on our terms.
We started this. Let’s finish it strong. No compromise. Just victory, or nothing.
