Truth is redemptive and peaceful. Seek it by all means. It's hard to know it sometimes, hence the question: "And what is the truth?" (Pilate, AD33).

If you ask the average Gazan if they want Israel flattened, they would without hesitation say yes.
If you ask the average Israeli whether they want Gaza flattened, they would immediately call you an extremist and walk away.
If you ask the average Arab living in Ramallah whether he thinks Jews should be able to walk around freely, he might actually physically assault you.
If you ask the average Israeli whether he thinks Arabs should be able to walk around freely, he would look at you confused and ask you why that’s even a question.
If you ask the average Arab in Jenin whether he wants all Jews dead, his response would be “obviously“.
If you ask the average Israeli whether he wants all Muslims dead, he would probably report you to the police.
If you ask 99% of Israeli society whether they want peace with their neighbors, they would not even understand the question because the answer is obviously yes.
If you ask the average Arab whether they want peace with Israel, again, they would probably physically assault you and call you a dirty Zionist.
If you ask the average religious Israeli what he wants for his children, he would tell you how he wants them to grow up and make the world a better place.
If you ask the average religious Muslim what he wants for his children, he would tell you that he wants him to die as a shahid, but not before killing as many Jews as possible.
If you ask the average Israeli how he thinks his country should be run, he would respond that he wants a liberal democracy with freedom for all.
If you ask the average Muslim how he thinks his country should be run, he would say Sharia law.
If you go to an average Israeli march or protest, you will see many people waving flags, singing songs, and embracing.
If you go to an average pro-Palestine march or protest, you will see violence, anti-Semitic chants, and a whole lot of hate.
If you hear a Christian saying “Praise the Lord“, you say “Amen”. If you hear a Jew saying “Baruch Hashem”, you smile. If you hear a Muslim saying “Allah Akbar”, you better run for your life.
If you ask a person who identifies as Palestinian to show you any history of his people, any archaeology, any inventions, any proof that Palestine ever existed, he would either call you names or actually assault you.
If you ask an Israeli to show you any history of his people, he will show you deep roots, endless contributions to the world, Nobel prizes, and breakthroughs in every area of life.
Tell me again who is the obstacle to peace.
Tell me again who is responsible for all the chaos in the West today.
Tell me again who is guilty of genocide and apartheid.
You’ve been duped.
Radical Islam is hands-down the most serious challenge to the continuity of Western civilization.
Wake up.

“Excessive dancing invites disorder and demons.”
“For Her Majesty’s Government, keep the natives orderly.”
Colonial rule was not just about controlling land and labour. It was about controlling culture, expression, assembly, and identity.
The language sounds ridiculous today. The mentality should concern us even more.

The year was 1957. Inside a modest Sony research laboratory in Tokyo, a 32-year-old physicist named Leo Esaki was doing something that looked almost embarrassingly simple. He was pressing a tiny sliver of germanium semiconductor between two electrodes and watching what happened. No massive particle accelerators. No sprawling university budgets. Just a quiet man, a small crystal, and an idea that the textbooks said shouldn't work.
What Esaki noticed was extraordinary. Electrons weren't behaving the way classical physics demanded. Instead of climbing over an energy barrier the way any sensible particle was supposed to, they were slipping straight through it. Vanishing on one side and reappearing on the other, as if the wall simply didn't exist. This was quantum tunneling, a phenomenon that had been theorized for decades but never cleanly demonstrated in a semiconductor until that moment.
The implications were staggering. Esaki hadn't just confirmed a ghostly quirk of quantum mechanics. He had shown that it could be harvested, controlled, and put to work. The device born from his discovery, the tunnel diode, could switch between states faster than any conventional transistor of its era. It was a signal that the future of electronics wouldn't just be about building smaller components, but about bending the rules of nature itself.
Physics laboratories across the world took notice almost immediately. The tunnel diode ignited a wave of research into quantum devices that rippled from Bell Labs in New Jersey to research centers in the Soviet Union. Scientists who had spent careers working within the comfortable boundaries of classical electronics suddenly found themselves peering into the strange, probabilistic world of quantum mechanics.
In 1973, the Nobel Committee in Stockholm made it official. Esaki was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics alongside Ivar Giaever, the two of them recognized for independently illuminating the tunneling phenomenon from different angles, Esaki in semiconductors and Giaever in superconductors. It was a recognition not just of two brilliant careers, but of an entire new chapter in the story of physics.
Today, Leo Esaki turns 101 years old. Born in Osaka on March 12, 1925, he has lived long enough to watch the quantum principles he uncovered in that Tokyo lab become foundational to the technology billions of people carry in their pockets every single day. The man who once watched electrons walk through walls is still here. And the world he helped build is still catching up to him.

The Prime Minister of Barbados remember the contribution of Cuban doctors during the pandemic. So many Caribbean countries and south and central Americans are turning their back against Cuba because America pressuring them to do so.. Cuban doctors saves millions of lives over the past 50 years. Stand in solidarity with the people of Cuba..

Madagascar’s military leader and transitional president, Michael Randrianirina, has declared that no government official including himself may hold dual citizenship or a passport from another country.
Under the new directive, any official found to possess foreign citizenship will immediately lose their position.
The move follows the ousting of former President Andry Rajoelina, who held French citizenship (acquired in 2014) while in office. His Malagasy citizenship was revoked in October 2025 under laws prohibiting dual nationality after he fled the country amid protests and the coup.
Officials say the policy is intended to ensure that national leaders demonstrate full allegiance to Madagascar, without divided loyalties.

The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible.
The Security Council must reflect today’s world. This is 2026 — not 1946.
Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.

DIOMAYE FAYE, President of Senegal: "I don't really want my photographs in your offices, because I'm not a God or an icon, but a servant of the nation. Hang pictures of your children instead and look at them every time you want to make a decision, and whenever the spirit of theft visits you, take a good look at your family's picture and ask yourself if they deserve to be the family of a thief who has destroyed the nation."

Tragic news: Michael Parenti has passed away. He was a brilliant anti-imperialist scholar who dedicated his life to revolutionary popular education, not the ivory tower. He was one of the greatest thinkers of the US left.
He has so many good books, but I especially recommend "Blackshirts and Reds", which you can find online. It will transform the way you see history.
You can read many of his excellent articles at his website: michael-parenti.org/
RIP to one of the greatest.

Thank goodness
I’ve been working for years—literally YEARS—to get the government to stop sending checks to dead people.
Now that Congress has passed my bill to end this fraud permanently, it’s finally on its way to President @realDonaldTrump’s desk.

There are many questions to be answered about Venezuela.
1 - Who gave the order to turn off the radars?
The VP with the Venezuelan military or the American government?
2 - Who gave the order to turn off the long-, medium-, and short-range air defenses?
The VP with the Venezuelan military or the American government?
3 - Who gave the order that no MANPADs be fired against the helicopters?
This could only have been done by the VP with the Venezuelan military.
4 - Who executed Maduro's entire guard?
The VP with the Venezuelan military or the American government?
According to the information, they were all executed in cold blood.
5 - Why were all the vessels, fighter jets, and more than 20 Venezuelan bases spared? Who gave that order?
This one is easy. This could only be part of a broader agreement.
Rotary-wing aviation is easy to detect by radars, and Venezuela operates more than 30 radars, with 9 new ones being installed in September.

I asked the Foreign Secretary whether it would be legal if a foreign power accused the British Prime Minister of breaking its domestic laws, bombed the UK, killed dozens of British citizens and abducted the PM and his wife in the middle of the night.
She refused to answer.

Trump announced that the U.S. government will “run” Venezuela and that their oil reserves are “ours.” But what working class person in the U.S. owns an oil well in Venezuela? None! Working class people have more in common with the people in Venezuela than with the capitalists who own the oil companies and prioritize nothing but profits.
We are building a new massive anti-war movement. This is just the beginning! NO WAR ON VENEZUELA!
