Germany needs to fully wake up (it is happening but too slowly)

China's auto export growth did not slow in October.

825K vehicle exports (an annualized pace of close to 10m), likely over 700K passenger car exports (8.5m annualized). Crazy numbers

1/

Overall export growth slowed in October, but auto exports were surprisingly strong (2024 forecasts that China's export book was set to fizzle out haven't been born out, export growth actually reaccelerated)

The vehicle surplus now exceeds $100b

2/

The acceleration in exports is clearest in volume terms, but it shows in dollar terms as well -- and imports are being pushed out of the Chinese market (auto imports are now less than 2% of Chinese domestic sales ... )

🌎Here's this week's round-the-world roundup of OCCRP's biggest stories and scoops

Newly obtained documents reveal the people and companies who paid for the elite development near the Russian resort city of Sochi. Many have ties to Viktor Sheiman, a regime enforcer often described as Belarusian Dictator Alexander Lukashenko’s “right hand" occrp.org/en/investigati…

Why are some European drug gangs burying cocaine instead of selling It? Wholesale prices are in the gutter across much of Europe, forcing drug smugglers to try to manipulate the market. OCCRP explains the factors affecting Europe's cocaine supply in 2025: occrp.org/en/feature/faq…

95 years ago, the authorities of the Second Polish Republic carried out a pacification operation against the Ukrainian population in Eastern Galicia (Lesser Poland) [1] [2].

2).
In their propaganda, OUN-B apologists [3] [4] [5] [6] use the pacification of 1930 as one of the factors behind the mass murder of the Polish cywilian population in 1943–1945 [7] [8].

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN was released 18 years ago today. One of the most successful movies of the Coen brothers, and acclaimed as one of the great book-to-screen adaptations of the 21st century, missing the story of how it came to be is like losing a Chigurh coin toss…

1/38

In 2005, American author Cormac McCarthy’s 9th novel – No Country For Old Men - published. The 1980-set story of a drug deal on the Mexico-US border that goes wrong, McCarthy had originally written the tale as a screenplay and, before long, Hollywood was interested.

2/38

Producer Scott Rudin purchased the rights to McCarthy’s novel and knew who he wanted to handle the adaptation – sibling filmmaking duo Ethan and Joel Coen. At the time they were working on adapting James Dickey’s To The White Sea but set that aside to work with Rudin.

When the operators @MichaelPool and @idontexistTore are using the very tools they claim to be fighting against, on the very population they claim to be working for. When will the sheep realize that they have been corralled into a pen? That their leader and themselves are in fact

Perpetrating the very crimes they claim to be fighting. On the Macro scale, public figures should be held accountable. Operators like Tore and Michael use the national politics as a way to show their legion that they are fighting against the government that subjugates them. This

Lulls the foot soldiers into believing that everything being done is for their good.While on the micro scale Tore, Michael, and the other admins/stars of the Tore Says Show are using the very tactics they are using to fight the macro corruption,against the people in their cohort.

This "America First" woke right is like the left. Oprah spoke of "my truth". There is no "my truth". There is the truth. The truth is not subjective. It is objective. President Trump defined his America First policy to not be America Only.

🧵 Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's AS Love for Jesus AS

Anti-Ahmadis claim that the Promised Messiah AS blasphemed Isa AS. It is not just a lie but also illogical.

"If I were, God-forbid, to insult Jesus, why would I state that I resemble him? For this would be to undermine my own self."

"He [Allah] has also informed me that Jesus is truly one of the very beloved and pious servants of God and is one of those who are the chosen people of God whom God purifies with His own Hand and keeps them under the shadow of His light..and is among the perfect ones.."

"There is no doubt that the Prophet Jesus as is a great Prophet of God. He is without question loved and honoured by God, a light of this world and the sun of guidance. He was glorified before the Lord God and possessed a status close to His throne."

Democrats' 2025 election wins go far beyond the big races:

In Pennsylvania, Democrats swept the top "row offices" in Bucks County, electing the county's first-ever Democratic district attorney and defeating an incumbent Republican sheriff.

Democrats notched commanding victories in county executive races in Erie, Lehigh and Northampton counties.

At the state legislative level, Mississippi Democrats have broken a GOP supermajority in the state Senate after flipping two seats in that chamber plus another pickup in the state House.

Democrats have vastly expanded their control of the Virginia House of Delegates and in New Jersey's General Assembly, the party gained a supermajority.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution 🚨🚨

This is not speculation; it’s straight from a recorded call.

Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year.

But what's not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as "a global anti-authoritarian movement," connecting U.S. officials with "colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly."

They reference coordination with Johns Hopkins, "international democracy and conflict mitigation spaces," and efforts to mobilize across borders against what they perceive as domestic authoritarianism.

At what point does this become treason?

As always, patience as I pull together this thread.
👇

Note at the end of the video, the "we" in reference to organizing the February 5th protests - that was organized by Soros-backed groups 50501 and Indivisible. This is the first solid link I've found connecting the No Kings movement, State Department, and Soros together.

Ro Tucci herself goes onto talk about bringing in international actors to assist with the color revolution. Their role is going to be "mobilizing around corruption" ... what does that mean?

There are various factors in the development of koans as religious texts, but one of the more important ones is not particularly obvious.

One should first note that many / most of the zen masters of the Tang Dynasty began their monastic careers as monks of the Vinaya School. 1

The Vinaya School was dedicated to the practice and study of the monastic rules handed down by the Buddha, and so understood Buddhist practice from what we would see as a more Pali Canon angle. 2

Even further, every Chinese monk had to be ordained according to the Vinaya, and had to follow its hundreds of precepts to be licensed by the imperial government. This was non-negotiable. 3

Stimulus checks are back:

President Trump just announced the "tariff dividend," a payment of AT LEAST $2,000 per American.

We expect 85%+ of US adults to receive this, resulting in $400+ BILLION handed out.

All as US debt nears $40 trillion.

What's next? Let us explain.

This morning, President Trump made the below announcement:

A dividend of at least $2,000 per person will be paid, EXCLUDING "high income people."

The economic implications of such a massive "stimulus"-like payment are huge.

Especially with markets at record highs.

First, who will be receiving this payment?

Let's take a look at the most recent stimulus payment, the March 2021 $1,400 stimulus check.

Full payments were only made to:

Single filers making up to $75,000, households making up to $112,500, and married earners up to $150,000.

Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is writing home about how “happy,” “safe,” and “comfortable” she is in her cushy federal prison camp or a so-called “Club Fed.”

Meanwhile, the girls she helped abuse are still living (and dying) from the trauma.

A thread 🧵 🔥

Carolyn Andriano was 14 when she was recruited into Maxwell and Epstein’s trafficking.

She testified in 2021 at Maxwell’s trial, that she had been addicted to "pain pills and cocaine" and that she had taken them "to block out" Epstein's sexual abuse.

She died in 2019, reportedly from a drug overdose.

Skye Patrick was 16 when she was first trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She struggled with addiction and trauma from the abuse.
She died in 2017 reportedly from a drug overdose.
