I feel grateful to see women, men, youth, leaders, and seekers from across the world joining the Awakened Leadership Movement.
Those who carry the human spirit and the clarity of values are stepping forward to stand for a different kind of leadership.
Every connection, every DM, every email, every request to join the movement to redefine leadership in governance, organizations, societies, AI, and global systems is finding its people.
Awakened Leadership is what I have pioneered. A redefinition of leadership itself.
Awakened Diplomacy and Political Governance are its extensions into the realm of politics, diplomacy, and international affairs. Restoring purpose to power and awakening those who hold responsibility across nations and global leadership.
Awakened Global Governance extends this to institutions, alliances, and think tanks. Restoring clarity in the bodies that shape the collective destiny of our world.
Awakened AI Governance brings this into the technological age. Ensuring that intelligence, innovation, and machine systems remain aligned with the human spirit and the possibility of life.
Awakened Leadership Development returns this work to the individual. Leaders, visionaries, and seekers awakening their leadership by aligning with their truest version, beyond performance, beyond influence, beyond power dynamics, rooted only in truth, clarity, and the authority of being human.
This is not rhetoric. This is a call for a new order of global leadership. One that serves humanity first and redefines how nations, systems, technologies, and individuals shape our shared future.
Join the Awakened Leadership Movement and let’s shape the future of leadership and humanity together.
Humanitarian leadership from Israel.
The situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is out of control.
In Gaza, essential aid is still being severely restricted by Israel.
In the occupied West Bank, Palestinians continue to suffer daily attacks by Israeli settlers and journalists & diplomats are being attacked.
There must be a credible political path towards lasting peace, ending the occupation and realizing a two-State solution, with Israel & Palestine living side by side in peace & security.
Google is getting better and better at things like these.
Google workers are resigning over the company’s AI contracts with the military.
In the BBC article on this development, one employee alludes to Google contracts mandating that workers refrain from criticizing the company for the rest of their lives.
ALT Employees at Google have told the BBC that staff are scared to speak out about AI safety and its uses in warfare because their employment contracts prohibit them from publicly criticising the company. "In principle I'm not allowed to criticise Google for the duration of my life," Sofia Liguori told the BBC. But she decided to do so "because I believe it's important for these things to be known and I also think that talking about facts is not criticising".
The whole nation has been brought to utter foolishness, and that too as a scam.
Many people in India's capital, Delhi, are missing work as they try to get their names back on the voter list. Millions of Delhi residents have been removed in a nationwide revision of electoral rolls known as the Special Intensive Revision, or SIR reut.rs/4sidCs9
Indeed.
When President Trump says we need to find a compromise – we live with this. A ceasefire and sitting down at the negotiating table – it is a huge compromise.
Nobody can step into the shoes of all these people whose children were tortured. And you can't force people to forgive. How can you force them when their child was tortured? How do you forgive? It's impossible. I desperately want justice. I just really want. I know so many people had their hearts ripped out, and there won't be a new heart.
That's why we say a ceasefire is the only step, because people’s hatred isn't going anywhere. It takes time and justice. And that's why it's a huge compromise. I've tried many times to tell the President of the United States: understand us. This is a huge compromise just to hold the lines where we are. Trump can bring Putin to the negotiating table very easily. The way President Trump talks about me, he needs to adopt that kind of rhetoric about Putin.
From The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. (3/3)
A fund built to outlast market cycles is still held hostage by politics. The quality of governance is the one asset no portfolio can diversify.
Norway’s sovereign wealth fund — the largest in the world — said Thursday that its investment portfolio delivered a loss of $30 billion in the third quarter, as rising interest rates dented returns on its bond holdings.
Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), which manages the $2.3 trillion fund, said the accounting return for the period was a loss of 278 billion kroner ($29.7 billion). Around 70% of NBIM’s fixed income portfolio is allocated to government bonds, with the remainder invested in corporate debt.

President Trump is not far behind in his delusional role of winning everything, finding a great role model in Putin, and bullying Ukraine, while having no ability to say even one true sentence with some sense of human intelligence or wisdom. The megalomaniacal and artificial leaders around the world in this era have the same tendencies: no ability to listen, poor advisors, and obsequiousness to artificial power.
Putin receives distorted information about the real problems on the front line. This information is subjected to strict filtering by his small circle of close associates, who downplay or remove bad news while emphasizing successes.
This is driven both by fear of reprisals and by personal interests.
As a result, Putin has long been living in his own isolated reality, one that has little to do with objective reality.
Consequently, Putin is deeply convinced of the core narratives of Russian propaganda:
"Ukraine is an artificial and inferior state."
"Absolute belief in a Western conspiracy."
"The illusion of imminent victory."
Putin tends to vastly overestimate the Russian army’s territorial gains and is convinced that victory is just around the corner.
He makes strategic decisions without pragmatism, operating under a severe lack of objective information and trapped within his own hierarchical system. This makes his actions predictable in their drive toward escalation, while leaving them profoundly disconnected from the reality on the ground.
All of this makes peace negotiations extremely difficult.
Below is the quick summary of the video.
India means Adani. Modi means Adani.
Adani means Modi. No scam means Modi and Adani. Elections mean Adani. Deals mean Adani. Win means Adani. Economy means Adani. GDP means Adani. Data centre means Adani. Weapons mean Adani.
Infrastructure means Adani. Clean chit means Adani.Air, water, food, oxygen, energy, home, light, media—everything is Adani.
Modi = Adani.
How true is it? You are the judge.
Delhi is now fighting pollution, and the pollution of politics has already suffocated most of the hope.
Apply that degree of intellectual and political sophistication, and suddenly every criminal is a humanitarian, and every megalomaniac becomes a legend on any day he manages not to be entirely monstrous.
Looking at representatives like Witkoff, Putin must have a good laugh at the kind of sycophancy, shameless flattery and bootlicking that passes for diplomacy today. He must find Trump’s predicament amusing, too, while recognising why such people behave this way, because the same instinct to please, appease and remain in the good books of those in power is hardly confined to one administration.
The bigger tragedy is that people like these are running countries, advising presidents, representing nations and shaping decisions that affect the entire world, while those who put them in these positions continue to reward the very qualities that make them unfit for such responsibility.
Some of these people may have studied economics, diplomacy, geopolitics and political theory, and may have spent decades in politics, administration and international affairs, speaking the language of power with remarkable fluency. Yet when it comes to applying that knowledge with sound judgement, intellectual independence, wisdom and a genuine understanding of consequences, they can be astonishingly shallow.
Others, like Witkoff, a real estate lawyer and developer, have no diplomatic background at all. There is nothing wrong in sending someone with less knowledge, if he is skilled in something the job actually needs. But the skills on display here are of a different kind: grovelling, obsequiousness, faking, lying and manipulating. These are exactly the skills that those in power are badly craving in their teams, and they are the ones being rewarded, while pleasing a powerful individual matters more than understanding a situation, and scoring a temporary advantage matters more than seeing the larger picture.
This is the level of politics, leadership and governance that has come to occupy some of the most powerful positions in the world, reducing the affairs of nations to calculations of personal loyalty, manipulation and political survival.
And when such people come together, the result is the kind of spectacle we are witnessing today, with one person making an absurd argument, another endorsing it, and a third dressing it up in the language of diplomacy, until the entire exercise becomes an exhibition of collective foolishness.
At some point, you stop laughing at what they say and start wondering how people who display so little practical wisdom, despite everything they claim to know and everything they have been entrusted with, ever came to represent nations and advise those who govern them.
Steve Witkoff’s salute of Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “humanitarian” on Wednesday shocked Ukraine and its supporters, but didn’t surprise close watchers of Witkoff’s handling of the Russia file.
The praise, heard around the world, wasn’t a departure for the U.S. special envoy, as President Trump has sought to foster warmer relations with Putin in an effort to defuse the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv and develop economic ties with Russia.
Witkoff’s remarks were made after he arrived in Russia to secure the release of Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old American citizen who was living in eastern Ukraine when he was detained by the Russians soon after they invaded their neighbor in 2022. The U.S. State Department designed Hubbard as wrongfully detained and denied Russian claims that Hubbard has been a mercenary.

Seeing the quality of judgements and statements of President Trump will never remind you of any of your grandparents, because they all had much higher IQ, even in their 90s. How can a country choose someone this lost for such an important position?
NEW: President Trump lashes out at a CNN reporter while defending his decision to delay sanctions against Russia during negotiations to free American Stephen Hubbard:
"You don't know what you're talking about. You're a dummy, you're a low IQ person."
Trump argues that imposing sanctions during the negotiations would have immediately jeopardized Hubbard's release.
"So use your head," he tells the reporter.
So far, safe.
Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in PHP, a widely used programming language that powers websites and web applications. These vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) could allow malicious cyber actors to remotely execute code in PHP core, potentially compromising sensitive data and networks.
The FBI urges organizations to take the following steps now:
➡️ If an immediate update is not feasible it is recommended that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.
➡️ Immediately update affected PHP installations following the guidance on php.net. Inventory where PHP runs in your environment, prioritizing internet-facing systems and vendor products that bundle PHP.
➡️ Monitor web servers for suspicious activity, including PHP processes unexpectedly launching command shells or downloading files. Ensure appropriate process-monitoring capabilities are in place to help identify potential exploitation.
➡️ If you find signs of compromise, isolate affected systems, preserve your web server and PHP logs, and report it to your local FBI field office or ic3.gov. Those reports help us identify the actors involved and warn other organizations before they become victims.
For the latest information, follow PHP’s announcement on php.net, CERT-EU Security Advisory 2026-018, and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
ALT Critical vulnerability alert for PHP Core with CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, CVSS score 9.2, urging immediate patch and threat hunting.
On the PHP vulnerabilities going around, here is what Hostinger told me about my sites. Managed hosting isn’t affected, and attacks on it are already being blocked.
The rest I am leaving to the vulnerabilities. They can sort it out among themselves.
