Why is 🇸🇪 allowing Samidoun to expand while other gov'ts, including in Europe, are cracking down?
Last week, 🇬🇷 authorities detained Samidoun's Europe head Mohammed Khatib, citing “national security" concerns. The group is banned in the 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇮🇱 🇩🇪 for its affiliation w/ the PFLP.

NGO Monitor’s new report documents how Samidoun is expanding its operations in Sweden, organizing nationwide demonstrations that promote “armed resistance”. Samidoun members have publicly praised Hamas, Hezbollah, and the PFLP, declaring these groups “our comrades” and “our heroes”. >>
Samidoun’s recently detained European Coordinator Mohammed Khatib, a PFLP member, admonished Sweden at the 2024 Gothenburg radical book fair for not offering stronger “support for the resistance.” In 2025, 🇧🇪 revoked his status. >>

📡 Russian forces had been running battlefield comms on hijacked Starlink terminals — routed through 3rd countries. Commercial access. Unauthorized. Systematic.
Not edge cases. Battalion C2. Drone ops. Artillery correction. All of it.

Early Feb 2026 — Ukraine + SpaceX deployed a whitelist system.
Every Ukrainian-authorized terminal registered.
Everything else: deactivated.
~90% of Russian front-line Starlink access went dark. Simultaneously.

The Guardian says it’s “searching for Palestine.”
What it’s actually doing? Searching for a verdict.
From the first episode, the conclusion is already written – Israel is guilty, context optional.
Let’s look at what’s framed… and what’s left out. ⬇

From the outset, every Palestinian interviewee rejects Israel’s legitimacy.
Only one state can exist, they say.
Yet when peace fails, the blame lands solely on Israel.
If one side rejects coexistence outright, that isn’t background noise.
It’s the central obstacle. You wouldn’t know that from this episode.

An interviewee claims Israel “came and cancelled everything” – culture, currency, identity.
But the footage shown includes the Palestinian pound from the British Mandate. With Hebrew printed on it.
That inconvenient historical reality? Left unexplored.

A clandestine startup near Tel Aviv backed by Silicon Valley elites is quietly preparing to spray particles into the sky to dim the sun. $75M raised for a risky bid!
Let us unpack and dive into Stardust Solutions!!
Stardust Solutions has already raised a massive $75 million to pursue solar geoengineering. Funded by Lowercarbon Capital the company is currently planning outdoor experiments. It claims to specialize in "sunlight reflection technology" to mitigate global warming!
These are three primary architects of Stardust. At the helm are Yanai Yedvab (CEO), Amyad Spector (CPO), & Eli Waxman (lead scientist). Their lack of transparency & refusal to disclose the composition of the particles or publish peer reviewed research has raised red flags.
Since most of my fellow Europeans haven’t had the time or stomach to fully acquaint themselves with who’s who in Trump’s up and coming American Reich, I’ve taken it upon myself to create a short guide to the main cartoon villains and abominations of this administration.🧵
Affectionately referred to as "pure fucking evil" by her closest friends, family and by everyone who has ever met, seen, or heard her really, Kristi Noem is the woman Trump tasked with deporting people to Salvadoran concentration camps, after learning that she shot a puppy.
Married to an obscenely rich man whose children were already having children by the time she was born, and often seen wearing oversized crosses to differentiate herself from her North Korean counterpart, Karoline Leavitt is currently serving as White House Press Secretary.
Kasparov: If a 200,000-strong army reaches Latvia’s border, will anyone shoot? NATO membership is paper if no one acts.
Article 5 works when leaders are ready to enforce it. Putin’s plans failed not because of NATO — but because Ukraine stood as an unbreakable wall.

Kasparov: The army will keep killing, looting, seizing land. The Baltics are defenseless.
It may start not with invasion, but with 500 special forces crossing the border, taking a square kilometer — testing Article 5. We know the answer: no one responds.

Kasparov: Any real compromise removes the causes of conflict. Ukraine-Russia “peace talks” are cowardly and corrupt, openly corrupt on Trump’s side.
Europe isn’t ready to admit this isn’t just a standoff, but a real war. Even after four years, it’s still living in illusions. 1/

Kasparov: The cause of this war is Putin’s desire to destroy Ukrainian statehood, restore imperial influence in Eastern Europe, and revise the Cold War’s outcome.
A “compromise” just lets him regroup — his war is against the liberal democratic West.

Europe makes a brave face but avoids saying the simple words: Ukraine must win. Instead, it keeps searching for a middle ground to avoid decisive action.

🚨 Fact Check: Budget 2026 is NOT taxing soldiers’ disability pensions.
Misinformation is being spread deliberately. Here’s the truth with clear legal facts. 👇
1/8
The Bill proposes a specific tax exemption for disability pensions of armed forces personnel who are invalided out of service due to disabilities attributable to or aggravated by military service.
This protects those forced to leave duty early.
2/8
This exemption applies where disability causes a direct and permanent loss of earning capacity, leading to discharge.
It is meant as compensatory relief, not a general pension benefit.
That distinction is crucial.

Important expansion: the exemption scope is being extended to paramilitary forces as well.
That means broader support for personnel discharged due to service-related injuries.
4/8
This is not a new policy.
Indian tax law has maintained this distinction since the Income Tax Act, 1922, and later notifications in 1922 and 1970 also limited exemptions to invalidation cases.
5/8
Pension received after normal retirement (superannuation) is treated as deferred remuneration and remains taxable.
Even if a person suffered disability during service, the tax nature of superannuation pension does not change.

The amendment ensures a clear statutory line between:
disability pension for forced discharge
vs
pension earned after completing full service tenure.
It maintains continuity with long-standing legislative frameworks.
7/8
Eligibility is based on objective service records, reducing misuse where disability did not materially affect service tenure or post-retirement earning capacity.
Also, senior citizen defence pensioners still get multiple tax reliefs and deductions.
8/8
Don’t get misled by half-baked narratives.
This Budget strengthens protections for genuine disability invalidation cases and expands support to paramilitary forces.
Facts matter more than propaganda.
