  The point of view from others: The Principality of Sealand is a famous unrecognised micronation located on HM Fort Roughs, a decommissioned World War II Maunsell Sea Fort in the North Sea. Situated about 11 kilometres off the coast of Suffolk, it was founded in September 1967 when former British major Paddy Roy Bates seized the platform from pirate radio broadcasters. The platform was originally built by the British military in 1943 during World War II to defend the coastline from German aircraft. In 1967, Paddy Roy Bates claimed it as a sovereign state, eventually naming it Sealand and establishing his family as the ruling monarchs. Over the years, the Principality of Sealand has defended its borders several times: The Royal Navy Clash (1968): British authorities attempted to remove Bates' son, Michael, and were repelled by warning shots and petrol bombs, resulting in Paddy Roy Bates being brought to British court, which ultimately declared that the fort was outside British ju...

 Why Do Millions Unite at Iran’s Supreme Leader Funeral... And Why Does the West Panic? Millions of Iranians attend the Funeral of The Great Ayatollah Ali Khamenei    Look at the huge crowds in Tehran right now. Millions of people marching together, showing real unity after their leader’s death. Is this just a funeral?  No. This is Iran proving it is a real civilisation-state.  Deep history, strong faith, tight families, and national pride. These things hold them together no matter what the outside world throws at them. Why does the West fear this so much?  Because Iran is a living rejection of their globalist plan.  They want to destroy everything solid: open borders that erase countries, broken families, mocked religion, weak nation-states, and confused ideas about gender and truth.  They push this everywhere to control people more easily. But Iran says no.  They hit Iran with attacks and sanctions, yet the people stay united and strong....

 Scientists cannot predict exact dates, so determining a specific annual likelihood for a massive "Big One" is impossible. However, experts warn the southern section of the San Andreas Fault is critically stressed—reaching its highest pressure levels in 1,000 years—making a major rupture inevitable over the coming decades. Key Seismic Hazard FactsThe "Big One" Window: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates a 75% likelihood of a magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquake occurring in California within the next 30 years. Historical Delay: Some portions of the fault, particularly near the Tejon Pass, have not ruptured since 1857, leading many geologists to consider the region overdue for a major seismic event Heightened Stress: Recent University of Hawai'i and University of California, Riverside models reveal the stress is equivalent to or exceeds values seen in the past millennium. Potential for "Dual" Quakes: The Cajon Pass acts as an "earthquake gat...

Col. George Armstrong Custer’s 7th Cavalry troops met their end. The re-enactment took place on private land as part of commemoration events marking the 150th anniversary of the battle. (Kevin Abourezk/ICT) Source: ICT and AP. CROW AGENCY, Montana – Thousands from across the continent flocked to the rolling plains along the Little Bighorn River where 150 years ago to the day Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer met his demise at what U.S. schoolchildren know as the Battle of Little Bighorn or Custer’s Last Stand – but Native Nations know as Greasy Grass. “You know, Custer planned [a large-scale attack on tribes gathered along the river] because he wanted to be president,” said Oglala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out. “And so news was supposed to hi...

  The West gave Iran a name — theocracy — and buried the reality beneath it. They never told you that Khomeini spent decades mastering one of the most rigorous legal traditions in human history, or that he built a constitutional republic ratified by 98% of the Iranian people in a free referendum. A nation of fanatics can be bombed with a clear conscience. A constitutional republic of 93 million people, founded by a supremely gifted jurist, is harder to dispose of. Read what they did not want you to know.   What They Never Told You: Ayatollah Khomeini Was a Great Jurist, Not a Fanatic                                By Lim Tean I want to tell you something that may surprise you. Iran has a constitution. It has an elected parliament. It has a president chosen by popular vote. It has a supreme court. It has a body analogous to a constitutional review council. It has institutional checks between competi...

America’s Drums of War: White House Issues War Threat Against Iran Israel, Washington’s closest ally in the Middle East, is armed to the teeth with the aid and assistance of the United States, and has built its own substantial nuclear arsenal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who bitterly opposed the 2015 nuclear agreement, immediately condemned the Iranian missile test on Monday. He said he would press the Trump administration to renew economic sanctions on Tehran when he visits Washington this month.
