With enormous gratitude, Conjecture Institute is pleased to welcome our first Platinum Donor!
Their anonymous gift has already helped us bring on @mboudry as our first Senior Philosopher and taken us past halfway to our 2027 budget.
Our plans for 2027 below👇

"Red-Green Alliance" is not a conspiracy theory — it's official policy. Samidoun coordinator Charlotte Kates (from Lebanon, fresh from the Ayatollah’s funeral in Iran) openly calls for a full necessary alliance between Islamist Resistance and the Western revolutionary left.

Ik sprak met @FBBlackler - vermaard kenner van de politieke islam - nav. de Franse rellen. Zij waarschuwt: "Er vormt zich een extreem gewelddadige alliantie tussen jihadisten en rode revolutionairen. Een burgeroorlog kunnen we niet langer uitsluiten": telegraaf.nl/binnenland/kenn…

Philosopher and author Maarten Boudry posted a powerful monologue on X about the riots in Europe: “Before long, we will all know what it feels like to be Jewish. Soon, we will all know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already know. This will be the punishment we deserve for abandoning the Jews, ignoring their warnings, turning against them, and even marching alongside their oppressors.”
“For three years, you useful idiots have marched with Palestinian flags, worn keffiyehs, screamed ‘From the river to the sea,’ and recognized a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (yes, I’m looking at you, Emmanuel Macron). You boycotted the world’s only Jewish state, demonized the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (known as ‘Zionism’), and spread the blood libel of ‘genocide in Gaza.’”
“Did you think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satisfied? All you did was strengthen the monster and whet its appetite even more.”
“So you were worried about ‘colonialism’? Look around. The only things suffering from colonialism here are our Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a flag of victory, proudly flown among the ruins of historic buildings that have been looted and vandalized, a symbol of hatred toward our culture and everything it represents. It never ends with the Jews...”

Witkoff to Putin: "You talk so much about President Trump being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you, and I thank you again."
HE MURDERS BABIES! BABIES!!! In their strollers. He murders adults too, entire families. Every day. I can't believe I'm fucking watching this!

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Proud to announce what we've been working on: Prosperity One.
Site control on 4 thousand acres of extraordinary land.
It includes ultra high voltage transmission, rail, and the mighty Ohio River, and a welcoming county, making for one of the best places for nuclear on earth.

Israel has spent years trying to explain to the world what it has been dealing with. Maybe our most effective PR campaign was never going to come from Israel at all.
Maybe it’s this...👇

Entre Lola-Fleur, jeune idéologue bourgeoise qui ne connaît rien de la vie mais donne des leçons à tout le monde et Jehmima née au Congo, arrivée en France à 5 ans, ayant vécu dans 10m2 et devenue cheffe d'entreprise, inutile de vous dire ma préférence !

Emotional moment two women blinded under Islamic regimes meeting each other for the first time.
Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband threw acid on her face because she was fighting for women's rights against the Taliban. As her face burned, he told her: now I have taken your eyes and your face, people will be scared of you, so I dare you to go out and talk to people.
I invited her to come on stage with me and talk directly to thousands of people in Poland.
She met Kosar, an Iranian woman who was blinded by the Islamic Republic during the Woman life Freedom uprising.
We are now together stepping into Jewish history in Poland, including Auschwitz, and understanding the connection between the Holocaust and the Islamic Republic’s massacre on 2026.
If any of you think it’s easy to live under Islamic republic or Taliban just listened to their stories.
These women are not fighting for themselves. They are fighting to protect democracy everywhere from the most dangerous cancer, which is called Islamism.

Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.
We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Keith Jarrett’s solo performance of “Over the Rainbow” in Tokyo in 1984 is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding and moving piano solo covers of all time. Rather than simply restating the familiar melody, the legendary pianist infused the piece with new life through his brilliant improvisation, refined harmonic structure, and profound emotional depth.

Last year I was attacked in Paris by a pro-Hamas hate mob. They were screaming “F*** Israel, F*** USA”. This hate and violence was spreading like wildfire.
And now, the same mob is waving the same flags and chanting the same chants while Paris burns.
This was never just about Israel. It was never just about Jews. This is a war on the West and the freedom and values we hold dear. I said it then and I’ll say it again: wake up. This has to be stopped.

What this assistant professor of religion at @haverfordedu has posted is simply unacceptable. It’s very unfortunate that he targeted “Jews” rather than “Zionists,” as he should have. Had he made that crucial distinction, there would be nothing to object to. Everything else is hunky-dory in academia, folks.
“The jews are angry because the world has woken up and realized Hitler was right all along.”
“Our society must be cleansed of the jewish filth.”
“The goyim have woken up, jew. Run. Flee. Leave.”
“Lower Merion will be cleansed of the jew filth.”
“We can make you into candles to celebrate the complete elimination of the jews.”
“What flavor would you like for the gas we will be using?”
“Go get fucked, fat jew pig.”
“Even a mild holocaust will put the American economy in a much better position. Deal with the jews first.”

For more than a week, we have seen increasingly disturbing images from France and elsewhere in Europe: burning town halls, looted shops and brutal violence.
What has been portrayed as “student protests” increasingly resembles scenes from a civil war.
Behind the mob, there is an uncanny alliance: well-organised left-wing extremists and political Islam. Two movements that could hardly be more different - but united in their rejection of our free and open society.
Both are enemies of the Enlightenment. The far left likes to present itself as its guardian. Yet it marches side by side with those who reject freedom of speech and everything a liberal society stands for.
Beyond the violence itself, what is most shocking is the unwillingness to acknowledge what is happening, or even the apparent attempt to conceal the truth by many.
The violence we are witnessing has nothing to do with legitimate student protest. To me, these scenes reflect the consequences of nearly two decades of failed migration policy.
Unless we change course immediately, we risk seeing the same scenes soon in Berlin, Vienna and Munich.
For years, Hungary and other Central European countries have faced harsh criticism from their Western European neighbours over their approach to migration. Today, Budapest, Warsaw and Prague stand out as islands of calm.
