Tribunals (conserv) Estimate >60,000 Falun Gong Forced Transplant Victims Since 2000 (+-$6B annual)
And the #CCP persecutes Christians through church demolitions, pastor detentions, and mandatory Sinicization that subordinates faith to Party ideology.
Contrast:
+-$6B China's organ transplant annual revenue
Versus
$94B-$150B China's intnl tourism drew ~32M foreign visitors in 2024
How can we (you and I) help reverse the persecution and execution of believers (Falun Gong, Christians or otherwise) in China?
Boycott travel!
Raise awareness of atrocities against the Chinese, but also foreigners whom the CCP or police deem as suspect.
You, too, can be detained (not arrested) and interrogated (even tortured) forcing your confession w/o representation.
Germanic Tribes in the Second Century AD, as mentioned by Ancient Authors.
Compiled from various ancient authors, most notably Tacitus, Ptolemy, Pliny and Strabo.
The exact locations of the Germanic Tribes has been a vague and unclear question for almost two thousand years now, however with Archaeology and Cross-Referencing i believe it is possible to get somewhat close to the real picture.
First of, the Authors.
Tacitus: Germania, written around 98ad:
Tacitus is one of the most Thorough, however his list is not as exhaustive as Ptolemies. The fact that he never mentions certain tribes that Ptolemy does lends me to think that those tribes were sub-tribes or less important ones than the ones he does mention.
Ptolemy: Geography, written around 150ad:
Ptolemy gives by far the most Exhaustive listing of Germanic Tribes, however it also has alot of confusing, contradictory, and seemingly erroneous information.
Strabo: Geography, written in 17ad:
Strabos Work is one of the earliest sources used, and he interestingly lists some additional tribes that both authors do not.
Pliny the Elder: Natural History, written around 77ad:
Pliny does not go very in-depth about describing Germania, but instead is more exhaustive about Left-rhenish Germans and the Germanic Tribes east of the Vistula. Others: Caesar, Augustus, Florus, Velleius, Dio Cassius, and Various Inscriptions are also used, but only for mentioning certain tribes.
Others: Caesar, Augustus, Florus, Velleius, Dio Cassius, and Various Inscriptions are also used, but only for mentioning certain tribes.
Methods:
The Positions of Tribes were cross-referenced from the authors that mention them, if a position was given, onto the geographically corresponding or nearest possible cluster of archaeological sites.
Many times, authors do not give a position at all. In those cases, i simply had to guess. Sometimes there are some bits of information that inform the guess, but other times when there is not it is with zero confidence.
I explain the placements of each tribe later on. In the cases where a tribe is said to be in different places by different authors, they are recorded twice on the Map for each Author, unless one Location is too unlikely to not be a Scribal Error.
The Archaeological Territories of Eggers phase B2 of the Roman Iron Age were used. Phase B2-C1a was not used as during this phase, large changes occur in eastern europe such as the Wielbark Migration into Przeworsk Territory that is not yet described as being Gothic by the Auhtors used. (For eastern europe, these are mainly Ptolemy and Pliny)

We're talking symbolic, prophetic, and straight-up conspiratorial alignments...make even the most jaded apocalypse watcher sit up.
The attack hits right on the cusp of March 1, 2026, but launches February 28 – smack in the overlap of key holidays and anniversaries.
These aren't coincidences in the fever-dream world of ME geopolitics; they're potential "signs" for why Israel (and the US) might have pulled the trigger precisely when they did.

Michael Parenti understood something about imperialism that escapes a lot of more conventional academic analysis: the principles of running an empire are the same principles underpinning organized crime networks. That’s why he called the empire “the gangster state.”
/1
Imperial networks are always involved in prostitution and human trafficking, the drug trades, gambling, blackmail, hit teams and every other vice. Not only are they lucrative sources of side income, they are a way of controlling people.

Since these are the parts of their lives people naturally want hidden, it is easy to launder the money involved and to entwine officialdom everywhere in protection of the rackets.

This 75 year old who'd been blind since birth suddenly regained his sight after using DMSO to cure sinusitis.
DMSO has been repeatedly shown to heal eye issues medicine still can't solve like blindness and macular degeneration along with eliminating floaters and cataracts by it's unique affinity for concentrating within the eye, restoring both blood flow and drainage, rapidly eliminating inflammation, refolding the degenerative proteins which characterize many eye disorders so they can be eliminated and reviving damaged tissue so it can resume working—even after being dormant for 75 years.
In fact, Murray's case is not unique, and as I show in the article below, many similar ones were documented but then essentially forgotten, as were the myriad of other challenging eye conditions which rapidly disappeared following DMSO use, and still remain "incurable" fifty years later.🧵
Over the last year, hundreds of readers have shared DMSO treated eye conditions they'd struggled their whole lives with.
Here, I show the decades of data DMSO heals the eyes, show why DMSO is uniquely suited to do so, and explain how you too can use it. midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-heals-t…
This is one of the hundreds of stories I have received from readers of DMSO helping almost every eye condition imaginable. The rest can be viewed here: midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-heals-t…
UAE is shooting down ~92% of everything Iran throws at it. That's extraordinary. Yet the financial toll of sustaining that defense is enormous, raising the prospect that tactical ‘victory’ masks a costly strategic drain. A 🧵👇
1/ Russian commentators are sounding the alarm over America's use of a new kamikaze drone against Iran, the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS). They note that it appears to have an integrated Starlink terminal and warn that it's a serious threat to Russia. ⬇️
2/ The use of LUCAS drones against Iran was announced yesterday by CENTCOM. This is the first time that the drone has been deployed in combat. It is reportedly reverse-engineered from the Iranian Shahed-136, which Russia has also adapted as the Geran-2 to use against Ukraine.
3/ 'Obsessed with war' writes:
"The Americans are showing a photo of their Geran-like LUCAS drones launching at targets in Iran."

Polish border guards found a tunnel from Belarus that was 1.5 meters high, braced with concrete, and built by specialists Warsaw believes came from the Middle East.
🧵Here is how Moscow is turning migration into a weapon against Europe — [1/9]
The tunnel near Narewka was reportedly 1.5 meters high and braced to prevent collapse. Warsaw believes Belarus brought in Middle Eastern specialists with direct experience in complex tunnel construction to design and build them.
[2/9]
Belarus does not act independently: the Lukashenko regime is merely a puppet dictatorship propped up by Moscow. It has been using migration as a weapon against the EU since 2021, even before the full-scale invasion began.
The most important platform to be closed off 2017-2019 was YouTube. Before 2017, YouTube was a very open platform, with easy monetization and almost no moderation of legal content. By the end of 2019, thoughtcrime (anything to the right of Ben Shapiro) was thoroughly purged.
In March 2017, several news organizations (The Times of London, the Guardian, WSJ) published coordinated articles about ads appearing next to "problematic" content on YouTube. This led to the British government summoning Google to explain and an advertiser boycott.
[as an aside, no one sane believes that an ad appearing next to a YouTube video implies the company behind that ad endorses or knows about the content of the video; this was 100% astroturf. No one knew or complained until the news articles hit]
