The zionists are damaging their own cause. When I read Anne Frank’s diaries and many other stories of the Holocaust, I was greatly disturbed. Children taken away from parents, crying, wailing and then put into ghettos and later gassed en masse. This situation of the Jews made me feel that Israel was justified in every action it did, even if it was a little excessive, cause it was a question of survival of an entire race that had almost been exterminated. Israel, I felt, ought to be treated as an exception. However over the last few years, the way Israel is dealing in occupied zones, this latest discrimination law and the way they are into war mongering incessantly, my opinion has started swinging. I’m sure this would be true for many others like me. I wonder why Israel is trying to validate the Nazis and the Jew haters ? Those who have faced injustice must defend justice more strongly and that can be done only through being just. Else, they are bound to validate the very injustice that happened to them @netanyahu #israelmasacretrasmasacre #Israel

WORTH EXPOSING: Her name is Limor Son-Har Melech, the Israeli MP who drafted the death penalty law targeting Palestinians. Let’s grant her, her wish and make her more “famous!” Darkness deserves light exposure! According to the MP, Israeli Jews do not commit acts of terrorism. Limor Son-Har Melec, who wrote the death penalty law exclusively for Palestinians, defended Israeli terrorist Amiram Ben-Uliel, calling him a "holy man," for burning alive a Palestinian baby and his parents while they slept in their home in the occupied West Bank, while his accomplices chanted "Ali is on the grill." Europeans fail to realize the extent of the hatred and genocidal mania present in some sectors of Israeli society. Under the new death penalty law, Palestinian leader Marwan Barghuthi could be hanged, but not settlers who kill a Palestinian girl. By John Edward

@jackprandelli Why does China need to guard Hormuz when its vessels are being allowed to pass through Iran? Your fundamental assumption is itself flawed and as such all the other arguments built up on this fundamental are redundant.

Trump's number is wrong. The strategy behind it is genius. China doesn't get 90% of its oil from Hormuz. The real number is closer to 50-55%. For reference maybe he was thinking about Iran that's selling 90% of it's oil to China. But here's why the exaggeration doesn't matter. The strategic move is real Think about what Trump is actually doing If China has to guard Hormuz: → Chinese naval assets move to the Middle East → The Taiwan Strait gets less covered → Beijing has to choose between its oil supply and its Taiwan ambitions → China either lets Iran lose a key protector or gets pulled into the conflict It's a forced choice. Guard your oil or guard your future. You can't do both. Trump isn't giving Hormuz to China. He's handing Beijing a problem that drains its military focus, its diplomatic capital and its budget. And the 90% number? Doesn't need to be accurate. It just needs to make China feel responsible. Have a look at my latest article, where i explain the deeper strategy behind all of this🔗 Link 👇 themerchantsnews.substack.com/p/what-is-the-…

@EnochBurke In every court of law, both the parties- the prosecution and the defendant-know the truth. It’s the judge who is on trial, far more than the accused.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother. Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke. Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm. As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them. Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell. He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison. Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. Archbishops Eamon Martin and John McDowell speak frequently about battlefields far away - Gaza, Ukraine, the Middle East - but are silent on the battlefields in the schools of Ireland, on their own doorstep. Children in the classroom are being educated in every form of sexual perversion. Martina and Ammi Burke have now been sent to Mountjoy Women’s Prison because they refused to be silent in the face of gross injustice from the bench. Parents, rise up and speak out for your sons and your daughters.

I have a very big worry. They have no Navy, Air Force, Air Defence, all gone. Their nuclear ambition however would remain and in fact bolstered. This time if USA decides to withdraw without an agreement of “ Iran being under a compulsory nuclear verification regime”, the mullahs will make sure they start working on it with greater resolve, freedom and stealth. However they won’t be under any international check. The punishment that was keeping them under check has been meted out and they have survived it well. The Islamic nuclear bomb is a ticking time bomb now.

🚨 EUROPE JUST GOT THE MESSAGE — AND IT’S NOT A GOOD ONE President Trump has made it clear: America is finishing its objective… and then stepping back. No more world policing. No more automatic protection. No more guarantees. His words matter: “The Strait… that’s not for us. That’ll be for France. That’ll be for whoever’s using it.” Read between the lines. This is a strategic shift. The United States is signalling: We secured our interests We achieved our objective You are now responsible for yours For Europe — this is a wake-up call. Because for decades: Security was outsourced Energy vulnerability was ignored Military strength was allowed to decline Now reality is returning. Fast. If America steps back: Who protects critical trade routes? Who secures energy supply lines? Who responds when escalation happens again? Europe is exposed. And it has been left exposed by its own leadership. This is not just about geopolitics. This is about consequence. Weak energy policy. Weak defence policy. Weak leadership. All converging at the same moment. And now, when the pressure is rising… The safety net may no longer be there. The world is shifting. And Europe is not ready.

There would, in the medium term be a need to ban AI through legislation for the simple reason that it will take away lower rung routine jobs. These are the bulk jobs, the ones that generate heavy employment and keep the economic activity running. Jobs and economic downturn have a history of guillotining governments. No government would allow a system of which it would be the first victim, progress or no progress. AI would be allowed through strict control in very few sectors like Medicine, Defense and space etc. That’s all. However before it actually happens, some heads and few headstrong will fall.

MIT's Nobel Prize-winning economist just published a model with one of the most alarming conclusions in the AI literature so far. If AI becomes accurate enough, it can destroy human civilization's ability to generate new knowledge entirely. Not gradually degrade it. Collapse it. The paper is called AI, Human Cognition and Knowledge Collapse. Authors: Daron Acemoglu, Dingwen Kong, and Asuman Ozdaglar. MIT. Published February 20, 2026. Acemoglu won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2024. He is not a doomer blogger. He is the most cited economist of his generation, and his models tend to be taken seriously by the people who set policy. Here is the argument in plain terms. Human knowledge is not just a collection of facts stored in individuals. It is a living system that requires continuous reproduction. People learn things. They apply them. They teach others. They build on prior work to generate new work. The entire engine of science, medicine, technology, and innovation runs on this cycle of active human cognition. What happens when AI provides personalized, accurate answers to every question people would otherwise have to learn themselves? Individually, each person is better off. They get correct answers faster. They make fewer errors. Their immediate outcomes improve. But they stop doing the cognitive work that sustains the collective knowledge base. Acemoglu's model shows this produces a non-monotone welfare curve. Modest AI accuracy: net positive. AI helps at the margin, humans still do enough learning to sustain collective knowledge, everyone gains. High AI accuracy: net catastrophic. AI is accurate enough that learning yourself feels unnecessary. Human learning effort collapses. The knowledge base that AI was trained on is no longer being refreshed or extended. Innovation stalls. Then stops. The model proves the existence of two stable steady states. A high-knowledge steady state where human learning and AI assistance coexist productively. A knowledge-collapse steady state where collective human knowledge has effectively vanished, individuals still receive good personalized AI recommendations, but the shared intellectual infrastructure that enables new discoveries is gone. And the transition between them is not gradual. It is a threshold effect. Below a certain level of AI accuracy, society stays in the high-knowledge equilibrium. Above that threshold, the system tips. And once it tips, the collapse is self-reinforcing. Because the people who would have learned the things that would have pushed the frontier forward never learned them. And the AI cannot push the frontier on its own. It can only recombine what humans already knew when it was trained. The dark irony at the center of the model: The AI does not fail. It keeps giving accurate, personalized, useful answers right through the collapse. From the individual's perspective, nothing looks wrong. You ask a question, you get a correct answer. But the collective capacity to ask questions nobody has asked before, to build the frameworks that generate new knowledge rather than retrieve existing knowledge, that capacity is quietly disappearing. Acemoglu has been the most prominent mainstream economist skeptical of transformative AI productivity claims. His prior work found that AI's actual measured productivity gains were much smaller than the technology industry projected. This paper is a different kind of warning. Not that AI will fail to deliver promised gains. But that if it succeeds too completely, it will undermine the human cognitive infrastructure that makes long-run progress possible at all. The welfare effect is non-monotone. That is the sentence worth sitting with. Helpful until it is not. Beneficial until it crosses a threshold. And past that threshold, the same accuracy that made it so useful is precisely what makes it devastating. Every student who uses AI instead of working through a problem is a data point. Every researcher who uses AI instead of developing intuition is a data point. Every generation that grows up with accurate AI answers and no incentive to develop deep domain knowledge is a data point. Individually rational. Collectively catastrophic. Acemoglu proved this is not just a cultural concern or a vague anxiety about screen time. It is a mathematically coherent equilibrium that a sufficiently accurate AI system will push society toward. And there is no visible warning sign before the threshold is crossed.

Uranium doesn’t behave like gunpowder nor is a nuclear fission device as simple as HE bomb. Uranium kept in storages separately and blasted together will not result in a nuclear blast. The nuclear bomb requires a particular quantum of uranium ( critical mass) to be packed together and a chain reaction needs to start through a neuron bombardment. This is a complicated equipment. Also, a mushroom cloud is not necessarily a nuclear blast indicator though a nuclear blast will invariably have a mushroom cloud. Finally a nuclear blast cannot be not know. It’s not so subtle as to require a debate as to what it was.

BREAKING: A major success for the U.S. and Israeli Air Force. The world is now safer. Based on credible intelligence, the U.S. and Israeli Air Forces targeted and destroyed a uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons development facility in Isfahan, Iran, in overnight strikes.

@realgerhardtvdm A nuclear bomb of whatever yield will have a very original distinguishable, loud and visible signature. It doesn’t require forensics to identify a bomb as nuke.

🚨🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 MASSIVE WAR UPDATE, DID THE U.S/ISRAEL JUST DROPPED A TACTICAL NUKE ON IRAN! ☢️ This is NOT a bunker buster bomb!!!!!

@realgerhardtvdm Come on ! A nuclear bomb doesn’t need a forensic investigation to be proven. It speaks for itself, very loudly, glaringly, radiatingly, shockingly and blastingly.

What held Iran, from its biggest potential offense- its nuclear weapons program- despite the resoluteness it possesses and has in fact displayed, was a fear of punishment. This fear kept its nuclear program- the biggest nightmare of the western world - in check and under international supervision. This external check to Iran’s nuclear ambition is lost because the punishment has been meted before the offense. The offense is free for its release.

JUST IN: The United States has destroyed Iran’s air force. It has sunk Iran’s navy. It has degraded 70 percent of Iran’s missile launchers. It has hit the factories, the airbases, the ammunition depots, the radar systems, the command nodes. Secretary Rubio confirmed all four objectives are “ahead of schedule.” The IDF says the campaign is “days from completion.” Hegseth says “we are finishing it.” And at 12:10 AM local time today, an Iranian drone struck the fully loaded Kuwaiti supertanker M/T Al Salmi at Dubai’s port anchorage, setting it ablaze, punching through the hull, and threatening the first major oil spill of the war, 31 nautical miles from the Burj Khalifa. All 24 crew are safe. The fire has been extinguished. The molecule has not moved. This is the paradox that defines the 2026 war. The US has achieved comprehensive military victory over every conventional capability Iran possesses. And the strait is still closed. The toll booth is still collecting two million dollars per tanker in yuan. Transits are at nine per day versus 138. The insurance market is still shut. And Iran just demonstrated, with a single drone hitting a 320,000-tonne VLCC at anchor in Dubai’s waters, that it can threaten every vessel in the Gulf regardless of how many airbases are cratered in Isfahan. The WSJ reports that Trump has privately told aides he is willing to end the war even if Hormuz stays closed. Read that sentence again. The President of the United States is prepared to accept that the waterway carrying twenty percent of the world’s oil will remain under Iranian permission-only control after the most intensive air campaign since 2003. The stated objectives will be achieved. The unstated objective, which was always the real one, will not be. This is what I have been writing about since Day One. The war everyone is watching is between militaries. The war that is actually reshaping the global economy is between molecules and chokepoints. You can destroy every launcher, every factory, every airbase, every radar dish on the Iranian plateau, and the strait remains 39 kilometres wide, bordered by Iranian territory, within range of shore batteries, mines, kamikaze drones, and fast-attack boats that cost less than a single Patriot interceptor. The military campaign operates on the logic of degradation. The chokepoint operates on the logic of geography. Geography does not degrade. While Trump weighs his exit, Dar is in Beijing right now securing Chinese backing for Pakistan-hosted peace talks. The quadrilateral of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan endorsed the initiative two days ago. China told Pakistan to “restore normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.” The NPT Review Conference opens in 27 days. The Trump-Xi summit is six weeks away. And sitting between the military victory and the diplomatic framework is the molecule, waiting in a pipeline, in a tanker, in a cylinder beneath Isfahan, indifferent to the outcome of every battle fought in its name. The navy is sunk. The air force is gone. The factories are burning. And the tanker is still on fire in Dubai. The war the Pentagon designed is won. The war that matters, the war over whether twenty percent of global oil, a third of the world’s helium, and half of seaborne fertiliser can physically move through a 39-kilometre strait, is exactly where it was on February 28. The molecule does not negotiate. It does not recognise military victory. It flows, or it does not. And today, Day 31, it does not. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@SierraMeena15 @braddy_Codie05 If the CAPF are pressed this time they will remain pressed forever. Right demand should not be allowed to be suppressed.

@PkchowIA @braddy_Codie05 Col Saab, your points are fair — but let’s add ground reality. DG coordination is a myth; real ops run on cadre trust, not AC room calls. The real reason govt fears CAPF leadership? IPS does 'चापलूसी' well; CAPF officers don’t. That’s the bitter truth. 1/2

Most CAPF officers are those who aren’t able to become Officers in the Army or failed to get selected in UPSC CSE (Civil Services Examination, no one joins CAPF as a Choice but rather as a Compulsion and once they Join they try to Compete with IPS Officers and expect from the Government to treat them (CAPF) on the Lines of India Armed Forces officers in terms of Pay and Allowances, Indian Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force) who are Trained and Duty bound for Conducting ‘Operations of War’ with Complex Platforms and Systems like Fighter Jets, Ballistic Missiles, Cruise missiles, Long Range Air and Ballistic Missile Defence Systems, Submarines, Naval Warships like Frigates, Corvettes, Destroyers and Aircraft Carriers, Long Range Artilliery, Tanks and ICVs, Special Forces etc along with CI/CT Operations being secondary task for Army and and HADR Operations overall responsibility of the Armed Forces. There is a Huge Difference between “Security Forces” and the “Armed Forces” security forces are used for mere security Challenges, Armed forces create Strategic Deterrence and Operational Preparedness hence pay and allowances of the Security Forces can’t be that what is offered to the the Armed Forces.

The war that was meant to stop Nuclear Weapon program has actually accelerated it. 1. Iran already has the N bomb or it is at the verge of it. 2. It already has a significant delivery system that can meet its regional goals, which ware also geo strategic in their consequences due to the strategic energy belt it dominates. 3. The USA is not in a position to monitor and control Iran’s nuclear aspirations because it has used the weapon that it had to control them. That weapon was the threat of an attack which has taken place and which Iran has not only survived but has also been able to give effective response to. For its nuclear ambitions Iran is free as of now and the longer the war continues the closure it will be to its ambition. The day it crosses the rubicon, it will be checkmate for US- Israel. The way China’s energy security is getting threatened, even Chinese help might be on its way. One can connect the way Pakistan tested its N bomb thru Chinese help immediately after the Indian test. 4. The best strategy would be to quickly end the war and make Iran agree to a very strict nuclear verification regime. @realDonaldTrump @DonaldTrump @netanyahu #IranWar‌ #Iranians #IranIsraeIsr

In my view point is fair except the first and the last one. Reasons: 1. For the first point of NFFU for the CAPF, if it’s been earned through the legal process, its circumvention by legislation to keep them pinned down viz a viz the other OGAS is brute power display by Govt. Today it’s happening to them, tomorrow it will happen to us. 2. If amongst equals only some are elevated it’s by default a lowering of the rest. 3. For the last point, I do agree that there must be jointness and integration amongst all services but in that case why should only IPS man the top jobs of CAPF ? There should then be a reciprocal arrangement for the CAPF to man the top jobs of the IPS #CAPFBill_रद्द_करो @ITBP_official @crpfindia @BSF_India @CISFHQrs

What about CAPF demanding NFFU ? Today they are asking for NFFU, in future they will be asking for Military Service pay. I am proponent of the Fact that IAS Officers must be kept away from MoD including Rules of Business allocation, Financial Powers, Procurement and Acquisition because they have made a Complete mess creating more and more Bureaucratic Red tapes in the name of Transparency hampering Procurement, Acquisition and overall Indigenisation but as far as the CAPFs are Concerned they are under the Control of MHA and Internal security is the domain of MHA hence MHA remains as the Appointing Authority and there is a need for integration of Agencies and Forces Responsible for Internal security that’s where IPS officers come into play.

@aar2dee29 @IndianSagaa @Vedmalik1 😀😀

Celebrating 25 years of our stay in this house with very friendly neighbors. Enabled us to remain active in many different fields within India & sometimes abroad. Given us much happiness and satisfaction post retirement from the Army.

@PaulGolding Paul Golding ! I see ur posts and always notice that you project a Muslim problem. We all know the problems world over of various kinds. What’s your solution?

When I watch this, you know what I think? I look forward when the Muslims take over the Green Party!

@amitabhhoskote @CENJOWS @OfficialCLAWSIN @GeneralBakshi @shelljaws1334 @bsdhanoa @pavannair @chota_sainik 5 days and then additional 10 days ceasefire in the face of being seen as losing. Doesn’t really appear so simple but then anything is possible in Trump era.

@shanaka86 Simply seen Job is being created & money is being rotated. First they are paying to dig ditches and then they are paying to fill it up. The analogy is just as simple. Digging of ditches is analogous to making of drones. Filling of ditches is analogous to countering of drones.

JUST IN: Iran gave Russia its Shahed drones. Russia improved them in Ukraine. Now Western intelligence says Russia is shipping the upgraded versions back to Iran. And the country that learned how to kill those drones on the battlefield just sent 228 experts to the Gulf to teach five countries how to do the same thing. The full circle is extraordinary. Iran supplied thousands of Shahed-136 kamikaze drones to Russia starting in 2022 for use against Ukraine. Russia rebranded them Geran-2 and, over three years of combat, upgraded the navigation systems, added anti-jamming capabilities, improved the engines, and refined the payload delivery. The Financial Times and AP reported on March 26 citing Western intelligence that Russia is now in the final stages of shipping those upgraded Geran-2 drones back to Iran’s IRGC, along with medicine and food supplies. Kremlin spokesman Peskov called the reports “lies” and “fake news dumps.” Meanwhile, Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia on March 26 for an unannounced visit, met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, signed a defense cooperation deal focused on air defense and drone expertise, and departed Jeddah on March 28. Ukraine has deployed 201 to 228 military drone specialists to five Gulf and Middle Eastern countries: the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Another 34 are ready per Zelensky’s statement on March 17. These specialists are not there as a symbolic gesture. They bring the single most effective counter to Shahed drones that exists anywhere on earth. Ukraine developed FPV interceptor drones that account for roughly 70 percent of all Shahed and Geran-2 shootdowns in Ukraine per Forces News and Atlantic Council reporting. The method: radar and acoustic sensors detect the incoming drone at 20 to 50 kilometres. A cheap, fast quadcopter or fixed-wing interceptor launches from a mobile platform. An operator pilots it at high speed toward the target. It destroys the Shahed through kamikaze collision or a small explosive payload on impact. Cost per intercept: a fraction of what a surface-to-air missile costs. Militarnyi reported on March 22 that Ukrainian teams have already confirmed multiple Shahed shootdowns in the Middle East. The arms race running through this war is now a closed loop. Iran builds the drone. Russia tests it, improves it, and allegedly sends the improved version back. Ukraine learns to kill it through three years of battlefield iteration. Ukraine exports that knowledge to the Gulf states Iran is attacking. The Gulf states pay Ukraine in money, technology, and diplomatic support. Russia denies everything while the drones fly in both directions. This is not a bilateral conflict. It is a global drone ecosystem where every improvement by one side is studied, countered, and re-exported by the other. The Shahed that hits a refinery in Bahrain tonight may carry Russian-upgraded navigation. The interceptor that destroys it may be piloted by a Ukrainian operator trained in Zaporizhzhia. The defense deal that funded the deployment was signed in Jeddah while the war it was designed to address raged 1,500 kilometres to the northeast. SpaceX’s Starlink provides the communications backbone for these teams in contested environments where terrestrial networks are degraded by the same war. The same helium shortage threatening semiconductor fabs and quantum computers is threatening the rocket launches that put Starlink satellites in orbit. The same strait carrying the oil carries the data cables that the drones are trying to protect. Every domain connects through the same 39 kilometres of water.

All people are not born equal. There are disadvantages that accrue due to cruel chances of birth. Being born as a Dalit or as poor or as a handicapped are few such disadvantages. As members of human society we want to create a level playing field for all to equally prosper and to enable a happy community living. How to ensure this ? For eg if a lame person must run the same race as a fit person, how do we equalize the disadvantage of the former ? It’s unfair to judge the performance of a person with one leg in a race with a person with two legs by treating them as equals. Same applies for academics and opportunities. I do agree that the implementation needs better execution, for eg the creamy layer even in the SC/ST need to be out of reservation and such like. However to totally dismiss this concept simply because we are born lucky is not a fair judgement.

@PkchowIA @Toxicity_______ @sleepy15owl Financial help to the needy is acceptable but when it comes to competing with other aspirants, there should be a level playing field for all. Besides, since it has not been able to achieve the desired results after more than seven decades, it is evident that it’s not working.

So, Rahul Gandhi’s mother is being treated by Dr. Arup Basu who belongs to general category. by doing this he has betrayed the entire Dalit community, after raising their hopes he has insulted them by not choosing a Dalit doctor for his mother’s treatment. Does he really believe that doctors from the Dalit community are not competent? Isn’t this a form of caste based discrimination?

No Sir ! When they pass out from the college they have to get the standard that’s required for being a doctor and there is a system to determine that. Else they won’t pass out from MBBS. While admission is under reservation, passing the exam is determined on neutrals parameters. If someone has been approved as MBBS then where is the life risk question coming from ?

@PkchowIA @Toxicity_______ @sleepy15owl According to you giving representation to every caste is so important that even people’s lives can be put at risk in order to achieve it…!
