Tensions between Israel and Turkey  According to a source familiar with the discussion between "Israel" and the United States, "Israel" raised concerns with the U.S. that Turkey is preparing to deploy an air defence system at the Abu al-Duhur base, which was attacked. Intelligence information indicates that Turkey intended to transfer a radar to the Abu al-Duhur base in Syria, and then it would transfer an air defence system and Turkish soldiers to operate it. "Israel" considered the transfer of a Turkish air defence system to Syria a step that would change the regional balance of power in the region.

 We can't control the storm blowing from Washington — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Mark Carney PM of Canada 🇨🇦  However, we can chart a new course by strengthening Canada at home and diversifying our trade relationships abroad. We had no illusions. We recognized from the start that America had changed. We consistently offered long-term partnerships, while America often sought short-term deals. The gap between the partner's approach and the competitor's approach, unfortunately, has remained too wide in recent days. Last night, I instructed our negotiators to return to Ottawa. We cannot accept what they offered, and we will not give up what they asked for. The small U.S. goods trade deficit exists only because the U.S. buys so much energy from Canada. Canada fuels American growth by supplying 99% of its imported natural gas, 85% of its imported electricity, and 60% of its imported crude oil. I don't think they want us to cut off any of these energy supplies. Cana...

 A Russian missile has destroyed a depot of depleted uranium near Kyiv! Uranium depot near Kyiv  The Russian armed forces have struck an ammunition depot on the outskirts of Kyiv, in Vishnevoe, where sub-calibre rounds with a depleted uranium-238 core and cluster bombs were stored.  Due to the threat of radioactive contamination, an emergency evacuation of residents in the area has begun, and the entire incident site has been completely cordoned off by the Ukrainian secret services. In other news regarding Ukraine:  Ukraine finally releases geolocations of soldiers in Konstantinvka - but the damage from Russia's claimed capture is already done: Unlike at Pokrovsk, there is no indication yet of a coordinated counterattack to reclaim parts of the city altogether. Furthermore, simply publishing geolocated videos of Ukrainian servicemen at all amounts to an admission that the Russian territorial claims have gained Western credulity which Kyiv must counteract. Another key...

  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...

  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.

He said he would press the Trump administration to renew economic sanctions on Tehran when he visits Washington this month.

  Global Warming, Sea Levels, and Ireland .  Flooded Cork    How Global Warming and Sea Level Rise Will Permanently Reshape Coastal Regions ! Coastlines have always been dynamic, but human-caused global warming is accelerating change in ways that will leave them unrecognizable to future generations. The physics is straightforward: as Earth warms, ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica melt, and seawater expands as it heats. Together, they push sea levels up. The consequences cascade through ecology, economy, and culture. 1. More Land Lost to the Sea Since 1900, global average sea level has risen about 20-25 cm. The rate has doubled in the last 20 years. By 2100, projections from IPCC range from 0.3m to over 1m of rise depending on future emissions. That doesn’t sound like much, but on a flat coast, 30 cm can push the high-tide line inland by tens of meters.  For low-lying regions like the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Pacific atoll nations, this means permanent l...
