JUST IN: The “geopolitical analyst” mapping the collapse of world order might actually be mapping dog crates onto cargo planes. Meet Shanaka Anslem Perera. On X, he writes threads about Iran war, rise of China, nuclear deterrence, rare earth supply chains, and the collapse of the global financial system to an audience of more than 200,000 followers. The bio says: “Independent analyst. Money, geopolitics, AI, sovereignty.” The implied credentials: strategist. security thinker. civilizational cartographer. The actual origin story? A pet shipping company in Sri Lanka. In 2010, Perera says he encountered a British traveler in Colombo who couldn’t move his dog back to the UK. That moment led him to found an international pet relocation business, handling paperwork, veterinary clearances, and airline transport for animals. Door-to-door logistics. Customs forms. Kennels. Cargo holds. Today the same figure publishes sweeping analyses of Middle East alliances, the Iran war escalation ladder, US defense supply chains, and monetary systems — while also presenting himself online as CEO of a global pet relocation firm. No academic background in international relations. No military service. No government intelligence experience publicly documented. No experience in diplomacy other than resolving dog fights. Yet threads predicting systemic war, Iranian retaliation doctrine, and global financial collapse circulate across X with the cadence of intelligence briefings. This is the strange new architecture of the information age. Once, national security analysis came from war colleges, think tanks, or former officials. Now it can come from anyone with a thread and a compelling tone. The institutions that filtered expertise are weakening. Algorithms replace peer review. Audience replaces credentials. A pet relocation entrepreneur can become a geopolitical oracle overnight. And the internet doesn’t ask for diplomas. Only engagement. In the age of collapsing gatekeepers, the most powerful strategic doctrine may not be deterrence or containment. It’s virality. And somewhere between a thread about Iran’s escalation ladder and a prediction of civilizational collapse… another golden retriever is being cleared through customs.

i spent the whole day at work looking up sexual violence data in nepal and i'm sick. most victims are aged 11-16. every single year for past 5 years.

गगन थापा ले चुनाव हारे, सत्य हो। गगन थापा नेपाल को सबैभन्दा पुरानो लोकतान्त्रिक पार्टी का सभापति हुन्, हो हुन्,७ हप्ता को अन्तराल मा सभापति र प्रतिनिधि सभाको दुई चुनाव, ठुलो परीक्षा थियो। गगन ले नेतृत्व नगरेको भए म पनि कांग्रेस मा मतदान गर्ने थिइनँ, कुरा नगरौं,काम गरौं,देश बन्छ🙏🏼

2 candidates looking to lead their party to election victory & become Prime Minister. Balen🔔-brash, populist, violent, lacking actual substance, solution. Gagan🌳-offering solution pathway deeply grounded in research,laws,legislative processes etc Demonstrated in video here:

Former PM KP Sharma Oli congratulates Balen Shah after winning from Jhapa-5 & he is expecting Balen to lead for 5 Yrs & has given best wishes by saying,"बालेन बाबु,बिजयको लागि तपाईंलाई बधाई ! तपाईंको पॉच वर्षे कार्यकाल निर्विघ्न सफल रहोस्- हार्दिक शुभकामना !”

2 days to election. I’ve long advocated youth engagement in politics & for severe corrections in old parties. I’ve always expressed my disdain for Oli & Deuba. Gagan Thapa managed Deuba. Balen will manage Oli. Wishing Nepal the best. Strong opposition important, either way🇳🇵🙏🏼

Hope Rabi has a lovely thank you card for Balen. Without Balen, this RSP sweep would have been impossible, and Rabi would be looking at time in Prison instead of Parliament. Nepal is in for a most interesting 2026 (for starters). RSP with a majority & hardly an opposition.
