Dear American friends, the US forces are in Syria to protect the interests of the tiny elites in Washington and not to fight terrorism as your officials claim.

They're in the Middle East to destabilize the region and sell weapons to the conflicting parties. Some even say they are there for the sake of Israel.

The people in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran are not your enemies. Your enemies are psychopaths like Lindsey Graham and his friends in the military-industrial complex who are pushing for war with Iran and starting WWIII with Russia.

The second joint Military Operations Center was in Turkey (a NATO member). Even Ankara's allies say Turkey let fighters and arms over the border, some of whom went to join ISIS.

The goal was again to topple Assad.

Former Mossad Head says Israel gave medical treatment to al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria for humanitarian reasons.

🚨 I don't know about you, but when the former head of Mossad, Yossi Cohen, sits down before a camera and boasts about booby-trapping and spying on electronic equipment ALL OVER THE WORLD, we should stop pretending this is normal.
1. What Cohen admitted in that interview isn’t a small tactical boast; it’s an open confession of a global sabotage doctrine hiding behind the mask of “innovation.”
2. “Do you know how much treated equipment we have in these countries?” he smirked. “Not only booby-trapped, but spy-manipulated equipment… in all countries you can imagine.”

All the countries you can imagine.
That means yours, mine, and everyone else’s.

🚨🏴 Abu Muhammad al-Julani built an Islamic Emirate by importing foreign Takfiri jihadists.

Now, on Western request, he’s trying to deport them. Shockingly, the Takfiris didn’t appreciate the customer-service downgrade.

Here’s how Julani’s Takfiristan turned on itself. 🧵
1. I sometimes imagine the world as one big geopolitical lab experiment — a place where men in suits, far from any frontline, play with lives the way a child plays with matches.
2. Syria was one of those experiments. And, as with all experiments designed by foreign policy geniuses, it ended exactly as you’d expect: in fire, ruin, and endless press releases about “democracy.”

🚨 The rapprochement between Julani’s Syria and Russia is a transaction born of exhaustion in a much longer Turkish game that ultimately aims to push Russian influence out of the Mediterranean.

WATCH this video to learn when Türkiye will make its move against Moscow. 🧵
1- Turkey’s rise in the Syrian war didn’t happen by accident. It was the result of strategic patience; a long game played beneath the chaos.
2- For decades, Turkey was NATO’s southeastern stronghold and the West’s gatekeeper to the Middle East.

🚨Ever wondered why Hamas exists in Gaza? Because Israel made sure the alternative—Palestine’s secular, rights-based liberation movement—was eliminated.

Here's the story they won’t tell you 🧵
1. In the 60s & 70s, Palestine had a secular, revolutionary movement. Writers, artists, organizers framed it as part of the global anti-colonial struggle.

This was never “Muslims vs. Jews.”
It was colonized vs colonizer.
2. Figures like Ghassan Kanafani gave Palestinians a language the world understood: exile, dispossession, return, dignity.

He connected Palestine to Algeria, South Africa, and Vietnam.

🚨 They called it a conspiracy theory and mocked anyone who warned about it.

But now it’s here: Digital ID.
Switzerland has adopted it.
Keir Starmer wants to impose it in the UK.

Here's why Digital ID is the blueprint for a GLOBAL DIGITAL PRISON 🧵
1️⃣ Digital ID isn’t just another tech upgrade.
It’s the keystone of a new architecture of power.

Everything you do—eat, buy, say, or move—will be tied back to one thing: your Digital ID.
2️⃣ Let’s break it down. Digital IDs are designed to link into EVERY critical sector of society:

🏥 Healthcare

💳 Financial Services

🌾 Food & Supply Chains

✈️ Travel & Mobility

🌍 Humanitarian Aid

🛒 E-Commerce

💬 Social Platforms

🏛 E-Government

1/ For 7 decades, the United States ruled unchallenged. But no empire lasts forever.

What happens when China, scarred by its WWII sacrifices yet rising under Xi Jinping, takes its place on the world stage? 🧵
2/ History has a way of whispering into the present. The 21st century is not simply another chapter in human history. It is the pivot, the point on which the balance of power turns, the moment when yesterday’s world order collides with tomorrow’s uncertainty.
3/ For over seven decades, the United States has ruled as the unchallenged empire, dictating the terms of global politics, finance, and security. But history, as we know, is never static. Empires rise, empires fall, and no power rules forever.
