Why don’t schools teach about the Bolsheviks who killed millions of Orthodox Christians? Churches were destroyed, icons and relics smashed, priests executed and the faithful who resisted were tortured.

In a newly proposed business plan, project leaders estimate the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco segment of a high speed railway will cost about $126 billion, with service beginning around 2040, per KLTA

Global telecom networks hijacked for mass surveillance by Israeli firms —— Israeli telecommunications infrastructure has been used to track mobile phone users across more than 10 countries over the past three years, according to an investigation by Canada-based digital research group Citizen Lab, cited by Haaretz. The probe found that systems spanning legacy networks and modern 5G architecture were effectively turned into “tracking devices” using advanced spyware tools, with over 15,700 location-tracking attempts recorded since November 2022 across countries including Thailand, South Africa, Norway, Bangladesh, and Malaysia. Internal documents reviewed by Haaretz showed that Israel-linked firms marketed and deployed surveillance tools globally. Verint, the parent company of Cognyte, reportedly sold an SS7-based system known as SkyLock to a government client in the Democratic Republic of Congo, while Swiss telecom firm Fink enabled Israeli companies such as Rayzone to impersonate mobile carriers and infiltrate networks. The investigation found that core global telecom systems used to route calls, texts, and mobile data across networks were exploited to extract user data, including through SIMjacking, which uses hidden SMS messages to force devices to share their location.

I need white leftists to realise that you only ever hear great things about China because those who are actually suffering in China literally have NO WAY TO REACH YOU. They don’t speak English. They can’t access non-Chinese websites. They obviously can’t move overseas.

You are either with the UAE or with the evil Islamic regime. No silence is accepted. Right now, the Islamic regime in Iran is targeting my beloved country, the UAE, with drones and missiles. The UAE is crushing them, intercepting, destroying, and defending not just its land, but the safety of over 200 nationalities who call it home. Stand clear. Choose your side. UAE is safe and strong.

In his autobiography, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi speaks in only favorable terms about Iran's religious minorities.* But is openly hostile to atheism: "[a]n atheist civilization is not truly civilized." The LARPers who claim to be his heirs are largely atheists and anti-Muslim.

Kamal Kharrazi, a Reformist former Minister of Foreign Affairs and advisor to Ali Khamenei, has been killed in an American-Israeli airstrike. A veteran of the Iran-Iraq War, Kamal Kharrazi was the Minister during the era of Khatami's Presidency and was responsible for the policy of bolstering defense ties with Russia, along with diplomatic 'normalization' overtures to America and Israel. His 'Reformist' affiliations and the pragmatic diplomatic contacts, which were aimed towards softening the American-Israeli hostility towards Iran even while expanding military cooperation with Russia, made him a target of a vicious slander campaign from the extremists in the Islamic Republic. Many simply refused, and continue to refuse, to understand that there is a vast difference between —a Reformist/pseudo-Moderate capitulator to imperialism vs. — a Reformist/moderate *fake* 'capitulator' to imperialism. Thus far, the American-Israeli coalition has strictly avoided any air strikes on the extremists, the Trotskyite-tier ultra-anti-imperialist bashers of America and Israel -- Mohammad-Baqer Zolqadr, Ahmad Vahidi, Saeid Jalili, Peyman Jebeli, Yasser Jebraeili, the Ansar e Hezbollah, and the Stability Front. In the near future, the enemy may launch such a strike on the extremists in such a manner that barely scathes but promotes their image and aura as 'living martyrs', 'survivors of imperialism', etc. Something similar to the IDF air strike on Mousa Abu Marzouq and Khaled Masha'al last year, or the Mossad's fake 'assassination' operation against Kh. Masha'al in the late 1990s.
