But this essay is directed to lawyers. Since the early 1900s, in Western nations, Jews have been represented disproportionately in the profession of law, in many nations representing anywhere from 20–50% of practicing lawyers, though Jewish populations were around 2%.

There is growing outrage over an alleged statement by Turkish FM @HakanFidan about Israel. The controversy says less about what Fidan actually said — and more about how his words are being politically framed ahead of a crucial @NATO summit.
Here is what really happened.

Here is what really happened.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar accused Fidan of using rhetoric amounting to incitement to genocide, claiming Fidan had effectively described Israel as an unbearable burden on humanity.
Shortly afterwards, German Opposition politicians echoed this interpretation. Omid Nouripour, deputy pres of the German parliament, claimed Fidan referred to Israel’s existence as “a burden humanity can no longer bear,” calling it eliminationist language.
When 'Iran lobby' maps smear the regime's own victims - the friendly-fire problem in our movement
1/ I've spent months mapping the regime's influence network - court records, sanctions, leaked emails. So believe me when I say this: some of the "network charts" circulating in our own community are doing Tehran's work for it. Here's how, with two names 🧵
2/ Masih Alinejad appears on influence-network graphics passed around this space - mapped as a node in the Iran-discourse ecosystem. Now check the actual record: she is one of the regime's most-targeted enemies on earth. US authorities tied a kidnapping plot and a murder-for-hire plot against her to Iran. Men were convicted.

The Iran policy monoculture: same funders, same people, same line - how one view crowded out every other
1/ Here's a question that doesn't require a conspiracy to matter: why does virtually every major Western think tank say the same thing about Iran - diplomacy, sanctions relief, no pressure - at the same moments? The answer is structural. Let me show you the machine 🧵
2/ First, the claim I'm NOT making: I'm not saying these institutions take orders from Tehran. There's no evidence of that and I won't invent it. What the public record DOES show is a closed ecosystem - and closed ecosystems produce monocultures. Watch how the pieces fit.
Good story. There’s no doubt that Trump has had a big impact on how D.C. looks now, but I think the bigger question is whether he’s changed it in a sustainable way. Sure, all those fountains got fixed. But is NPS funded and staffed to do the needed maintenance?
And the way D.C. *looks* may have improved with some of Trump’s projects, but the administration’s aggressive yet haphazard slashing of the federal workforce has had a profoundly negative impact on the local economy. Yay fountains, but what if people don’t have jobs?
Even on public safety Trump’s longer-term impacts are questionable. The National Guard can’t stay here forever, and local police hiring efforts are partially hamstrung by the much larger hiring bonuses and lower training requirements for many federal law enforcement agencies.
Let's dive in Russian 🇷🇺 war propaganda machine
Recently, new videos emerged of Russian soldiers showing their flag far behind the frontline.

Russian flag videos are almost always the same. One or two Russian soldiers walk along the front line for weeks, evading Ukrainian detection.
Upon reaching the rear, they spend a day wandering through an entire village with their flag, while a drone overhead films them.

They are often not armed and will stay in the village for a long time, hidden in a basement, most of the time being found and captured/killed and sometimes go back to their lines.
These soldiers are not meant to disrupt Ukrainian rear but to create the illusion Russia controls an area.

Em 2014, o senador americano John McCain definiu a Rússia numa frase que virou clássica: "um posto de gasolina fingindo ser um país".
Doze anos depois, o posto de gasolina ficou sem gasolina. Literalmente.
Mais da metade do país está racionando combustível, tem fila de horas nos postos e até estado de emergência decretado. A história de como se chegou a isso é uma das maiores viradas da guerra. Segue o fio.

El 15 de junio de 1969, 500 personas se sentaron a comer en un restaurante de lujo recién estrenado en Segovia. El cemento de aquel edificio aún no se había secado del todo, lo que hizo que el suelo cediese y el techo se desplomase sobre ellos. Murieron 58. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
El dueño de aquel complejo era un joven constructor soriano, ambicioso y con una labia descomunal, que años después sería famoso en toda España. Se llamaba Jesús Gil y Gil. Para casi todos, era un completo desconocido y aquella tragedia fue su primera aparición en la prensa.
Gil había levantado a las afueras de Madrid una urbanización de lujo: Los Ángeles de San Rafael. La vendía como un paraíso, la Suiza española, un sitio donde la burguesía veraneaba entre piscinas y chalets. Por allí pasaron desde Ava Gardner hasta Rafael Alberti.
This last week JEDEC announced a new standard for SPHBM4: Standard Package High Bandwidth Memory (JESD330-4).
It utilizes the same DRAM stacks as HBM4, but swaps in a different buffer die. The goal? Enable HBM assembly in standard packaging and break the AI Advanced Packaging bottleneck. (1/6)🧵
It utilizes the same DRAM stacks as HBM4, but swaps in a different buffer die. The goal? Enable HBM assembly in standard packaging and break the AI Advanced Packaging bottleneck. (1/6)🧵
The idea is simple: maintain HBM4 performance while drastically reducing the reliance on expensive, supply-constrained advanced packaging.
How? By slashing the pin count to 1/5th but quadrupling signal speeds to 32 Gbps. This allows HBM-level bandwidth using standard substrates, while pushing the connection distance out to 20mm for vastly superior thermal management.
Here is why SPHBM4 is a massive win for the substrate industry: (2/6)

Here is why SPHBM4 is a massive win for the substrate industry: (2/6)
🟠 It blows up the physical size of the substrate.
Traditional HBM must sit microscopic millimeters away from the GPU because wide parallel signals degrade instantly over distance.
Because SPHBM4 uses high-speed serial lanes, memory can sit up to 20mm away. This extra breathing room means there is room for more HBM per package, as chip packaging footprints get much larger, dramatically driving up the total square footage of substrate material needed per chip. (3/6)

Jefferson asked if liberties could be secure without “a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God.”
Washington and Hamilton agreed: religion and morality are indispensable.
They demanded tolerance, not secularism.

Q) "Strategy Is A Closed-End Fund. You May As Well Buy A Bitcoin ETF."
Strategy is not a closed-end fund.
A closed-end fund passively holds assets and trades at a premium or discount to NAV.
Strategy is an operating company that actively raises capital, issues credit instruments and manages a balance sheet with the ultimate goal of increasing Bitcoin Per Share over time.
An ETF gives you static Bitcoin exposure.
Strategy gives you leveraged, actively managed Bitcoin exposure with the potential for accretive Bitcoin accumulation.

I INDEPENDENTLY SEARCHED NIGERIA'S BUDGET DOCUMENTS FROM 2019 TO THE PRESENT. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND ABOUT THE PFIPC SCANDAL THAT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.
THE NAME DID NOT COME FROM NOWHERE
Everyone is focused on Adeyemi the man. Nobody has gone back to ask where the name "Presidential Economic Advisory Council" actually came from. I did. And the answer changes this entire story.
The Presidential Economic Advisory Council is not a Tinubu creation. Tinubu's economic body is called the Presidential Economic Coordination Council. He established it in March 2024, inaugurated it in July 2024, and chairs it himself alongside Dangote, Elumelu, the Senate President and the Governors Forum Chairman. It has a different name, a different structure and a different budget code.
The Presidential Economic Advisory Council is a creation of Buhari. Buhari established it in September 2019 to replace the Economic Management Team that Osinbajo was heading. It had real named members. Prof. Doyin Salami as chairman. Charles Soludo. Bismark Rewane. Eight economists reporting directly to the President with a defined mandate and a legal institutional identity.
When Tinubu came in and created the PECC in 2024, the Buhari-era PEAC was never formally dissolved. No gazette removing it. No Budget Office circular revoking its institutional identity. It simply went dormant. But dormant in Nigeria's government system is not the same as deleted.
That dormant status is exactly what was exploited.

PART 2 — WHAT THE BUDGET DOCUMENTS ACTUALLY SHOW
I searched the 2024 Appropriation Act. The Presidential Economic Advisory Council does not appear. Budget code 0111062001 is not there.
I searched the 2025 Appropriation Act. The Presidential Economic Advisory Council does not appear. Budget code 0111062001 is not there either.
I checked the 2026 Appropriation Act, signed by President Tinubu on April 17, 2026. Budget code 0111062001 appears for the first time, on pages 50 and 51, listed as:
"Presidential Economic Advisory Council / Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council"
Total allocation: N1,302,978,784.
Personnel costs: N802,978,783, including N573 million in salaries. Overhead: N200,000,001. Capital: N300,000,000 under Research and Development.
The capital allocation is broken down into ten specific programme lines. N182.5 million for logistics for the World Investment Summit 2026. A Harvard Program on Negotiation. A Certified Investment Management Analyst course. A WTO trade negotiations course. Strategic investment management training. Negotiation and leadership courses.
This is not a vague placeholder. This is a detailed, populated budget submission with ten line items written in correct budget language by someone who knows how budget submissions are prepared.
This code was not carried forward by Buhari. It did not exist in 2024 or 2025. It was created fresh and inserted into the 2026 budget during the September to December 2025 preparation window. The same window in which Adeyemi was arrested in October 2025 and charged in November 2025.

PART 3 — THE BORROWED NAME AND WHY IT WAS CHOSEN
This is the dot nobody has connected publicly.
Whoever inserted budget code 0111062001 did not invent the name "Presidential Economic Advisory Council" out of thin air. They borrowed it from a real Buhari-era body with an institutional history, former members, and a legitimate place in the record of government advisory structures. A budget reviewer seeing that name would not immediately flag it as suspicious. It sounds like something that exists. Because something by that name did exist. Under a previous president.
That is the specific function the Buhari-era PEAC served in this operation. Not as an active siphoning vehicle across multiple budget years. The evidence does not show that. What it shows is that its dormant name was used as camouflage for a fresh 2026 insertion. Familiar enough to pass review. Obscure enough that most reviewers would not immediately know whether it was still active under the current administration or not.
This is research, not forgery. Whoever did this knew enough about the history of Nigerian presidential advisory structures to identify a dormant body whose name could be reactivated without triggering immediate scrutiny. That knowledge does not exist in the general public. It exists within a specific group of people with institutional memory of how government advisory bodies are named, coded, and tracked within the Budget Office system.
And one more thing. The Presidency's July 1 statement called both the PEAC and the PFIPC fictitious entities. But the PEAC was not technically fictitious. Adding PFIPC made it so. It was a real body of the Buhari administration. The name was real. The history was real. The exploitation of that history is what is new.
