Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

The coming purge against wrongthink will be much greater than during Russiagate, COVID and the Ukraine War as governments become weaker and more insecure. Carl Schmitt, the crown jurist of the Nazi Party, wrote extensively about the search for the enemy within. Politics is largely divided into identifying who is a friend (“us”/in-group) and who is an enemy (the “other”/out-group). People within the country who do not fall in line with the regime can be portrayed as having loyalty to the enemy, and political opposition thus becomes an existential threat. Schmitt considered debate and intellectual pluralism to weaken the ability to identify internal enemies. Weak governments rely more on constructing external enemies and silencing dissent at home. Notice how governments and their stenographers in the media have little to no interest in debating the actual arguments of those who dissent, yet they devote increasing resources to denouncing what is portrayed as treasonous intent. Expect more headlines like this.

Amazing how the media can tell you all about human rights abuses in Iran, but when the US is causing people on ventilators to die in Cuba, there is radio silence. Apparently, human rights only matter when we need an excuse to start a war.

Pep Guardiola perfectly reminds Israel of its place on earth in this video. The most ‘in your face’ situation I have ever seen. Message well delivered to the Israeli dude. Pep is Spanish. It makes a lot of sense.

Niall McConnell keeps getting schooled, results to editing the interaction and posts it. He approached an African uncle on the streets to complain of immigrants, he found out quickly Uncle is at that stage of life where you don’t pretend. You call a spade a spade.

Just a few hundred metres from here is the US embassy. Who had the audacity to ask for oil this week to run their generators.....

Twitter turns 20. What is your favorite tweet of all time?

Wow, they're just openly admitting Israel has a nuclear weapons program, now?

On this day in 1895, the charred and tortured remains of Bridget Cleary, a 26-year-old dressmaker from Ballyvadlea, Co. Tipperary, were discovered in a shallow grave. She'd suffered a horrifying fate. Justice William O’Brien declared that the case “spread a tale of horror and pity throughout the civilised world.” Bridget was diagnosed with bronchitis by local doctor William Crean on the 13th of March. That same day, her parish priest, Fr Cornelius Ryan, visited her bedside and administered the last rites. But in the eyes of her husband, Michael Cleary, Bridget’s illness was no ordinary affliction. He was convinced that she was not his real wife, but a changeling, a supernatural imposter left by the fairies! Michael’s fears had been stoked by local storyteller Jack Dunne, who told him that when a person was taken by the fairies, their return could be forced within nine days. But only through a series of brutal and dangerous rituals. As Bridget lay in her bed, her ignorant husband and family subjected her to days of torment. On the 14th of March, neighbours William and Mary Simpson arrived at the Cleary home and found Bridget being held down by three of her cousins as Michael Cleary doused her with urine, a ritual meant to drive out the fairy. That night, Michael and others force-fed her bitter herbs, shook her violently, and threatened her life if she did not admit she was a changeling. By the 15th of March, Michael Cleary’s paranoia had reached its tragic climax. He poured hot paraffin over her and set her on fire. As the flames consumed her, he reportedly shouted, “It is not my wife I am burning.” The following morning, he told neighbours she had been taken by the fairies, but when her burned and buried body was found, the truth was undeniable. Michael Cleary and nine others, including Bridget’s relatives, were arrested. At trial, Michael was convicted of manslaughter rather than murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Others, including those who had held her down or participated in her abuse, received lesser sentences of six months to five years. The murder of Bridget Cleary sent shockwaves through Ireland and beyond. At a time when Irish nationalists were advocating for Home Rule, the case was seized upon by opponents as evidence of Ireland’s supposed backwardness. The New York Times, reporting from London on the 31st of March 1895, noted that anti-Irish papers were using the case to portray the Irish peasantry as degraded and savage, undermining efforts for self-government.

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT PROMOTES REGIME CHANGE IN NIGER On 12 March 2026, the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, passed a resolution targeting the revolutionary anti-imperialist government of Niger. Europe continues to back the overthrown former president, Mohamed Bazoum, whom they claim was "democratically elected." Clear election discrepancies have led many Nigeriens to accuse the electoral process of being a sham. Meanwhile, Niger's new government, led by Abdourahmane Tiani, has ended all military collaboration with the United States and France. He also nationalised the country's uranium and gold mines, the former of which was an important energy resource for France and the EU. Now, the European Parliament wants Tiani out. They are calling for elections in Niger, knowing that across the African continent, from Cameroon to Uganda to Tanzania to Togo to Cote d'Ivoire, elections have been far from honest. What do you think of the European Parliament's position and posture vis-à-vis Niger? Let us know in the comments. @venanalysis @VoxUmmah @qiaocollective @ProgIntl @blkagendareport @OrinocoTribune @KawsachunNews

If you can’t grasp how these two statements can coexist, you should genuinely be forced back to school. A perfect litmus test for basic cognition and whether your mind ever made it past puberty.

The only thing keeping a weakened US economy afloat is AI capital spending (mostly data centres). What happens if the AI bubble bursts? To the US economy? And the Irish economy?

It can only be called an election interference if it comes from the ‘hybrid war’ region of Russia. Otherwise, it's just our ally Israel.

Does British intelligence just straight up tell every Irish media outlet to spout the same line of attack on neutrality. Or did all these propagandists decide to write identical articles across every major media outlet. Wild.

There is something surreal about our government-appointed “experts” speaking about the threat to freedom of navigation. The U.S. attacks boats off the coast of Venezuela and imposes a blockade on both Venezuela and Cuba. NATO countries are currently engaged in a campaign of piracy and attacks on Russian ships. Iranian tankers have been hijacked for years. International law is essentially a set of agreements based on mutual constraints, where predictability depends on reciprocity. You cannot exempt yourself from the rules and then expect compliance from the other side. The West has for years acted like rogue states, and they that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind.

When we say capitalism is an anti-human system, this is what we mean.

ICE just released a pro-Palestine protestor it held at its concentration camps for ONE YEAR. The United States can in no way call itself a democracy.

IRISH FORGOT THEIR OPPRESSION This weekend, millions of people of Irish descent will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in cities like New York City and Boston, places shaped by Irish migration. Many Irish arrived in the United States fleeing oppression, poverty, and persecution under British rule. In their new home, they were pushed into the most dangerous and lowest paid jobs, building canals, railroads, and working the docks, while living in overcrowded slums marked by disease and hardship. They had escaped a system of domination in Ireland where British landlordism and the Penal Laws stripped Irish Catholics of rights, dignity, and power. In many ways, their conditions echoed other forms of racial and class oppression. Yet history took a different turn. As Bernadette Devlin, an Irish socialist from the occupied six counties in the North of Ireland, explains in this clip, rather than forming lasting solidarity with Black communities, many Irish immigrants in the U.S. chose to align themselves with whiteness, opposing abolition and at times participating in violence against Black Americans in order to secure jobs and social mobility. That alignment opened doors. Over time, Irish Americans gained access to political power, employment, and full inclusion into the category of “white,” a status denied to others. Their story is often used to argue that any group can “make it,” but that narrative ignores the racial privileges they were ultimately allowed to access. As Lyndon B. Johnson, a former President of the United States, once put it, “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best Black man, he won’t notice you're picking his pocket.” Credit: WBHG TV @VoxUmmah @venanalysis @qiaocollective @ProgIntl @KawsachunNews @OrinocoTribune @blkagendareport @SoberaniaPod
