The WHO, John Hopkins University and Bill Gates help fund an experimental mrna vaccine and push for mass censorship.

Liberals and tons of leftists agree with the censorship and call everyone who doesn't take the vaccine a Nazi that belongs in prison. Many countries, like the PI and Austria, force jail on everyone who doesn't take it. Biden signs a bill forcing employees in large businesses to either take it or get daily Covid 19 testing + masks, but this is killed in the right wing supreme court. All social media platforms ban people for vaccine misinformation. This was the first time an RNA vaccine was made mainstream, and liberals called you a Nazi while they call your employer and demanded the conspiracy nut gets fired.

Well now Bill Gates is known as Jeffrey Epstein's best friend so I don't know if they'll accept they've been played or not. All I know is that I'll never forgive any of you. Now I know what real Nazis look like. Take your mrna Hantavirus vaccine.

Also, the power structure likes telling you things ahead of time on occasion. Why? Mainly to prove that there is no conspiracy, because smart people won't implicate themselves in a conspiracy. It's funny logic. By proving they did it, they prove they didn't do it. Works every time.

Also I've never taken the clot shot.

The viral @nytimes clip where Tucker Carlson toys with calling Trump the “Antichrist" is clickbait. The most revealing parts of the interview – in clips below – aren’t about theology at all, but about Israel, where his worldview and conspiratorial ideas are laid bare. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

2/5
On Israel and Lebanon, Carlson doesn’t just criticize policy. He casts Trump as a “slave” to Netanyahu and claims Israel deliberately killed civilians in Lebanon to sabotage peace talks and grab land. It's not analysis, but a story in which Israel is always the hidden villain. It requires you to ignore decades of land‑for‑peace – Sinai for peace with Egypt, withdrawal from southern Lebanon, disengagement from Gaza – and to see a small, embattled state as a kind of omnipotent puppeteer.

When that goes largely unchallenged, it signals how comfortable mainstream platforms are becoming with framing Israel as uniquely sinister.

3/5
On Iraq, he goes further: “many American presidents have put Israel’s interests before our own,” he says, and calls Iraq “a very obvious example,” with Cheney’s office “completely controlled” by people serving Israel. That narrative is dangerous because it rewrites a very American catastrophe – born of 9/11 trauma, neocon ideology, bad intel, oil and regional politics – into a war “for Israel.” It lets U.S. decision‑makers and institutions off the hook and hands the blame to a small Jewish state and a vague “they.”

It's exactly how a fringe story about Jewish power becomes a respectable explanation for everything that went wrong.

🧵Hantavirus | WHO | Monitoring

Based on the education that @idontexistTore has provided her listeners over the years, let's just say I'm one of many who are paying attention from a laymen's POV...

There are literally thousands of potential adverse events listed in this document "Pfizer Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports".

However, on page 30 begins a specialized category titled "APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST" which require "advanced monitoring. One of the thousands of potential albeit rare adverse events listed in this category is none other than Hantavirus listed on page 33 as Hantavirus pulmonary infection.

El Real Madrid se está cayendo a pedazos en las últimas semanas. Peleas entre jugadores, peticiones para echar estrellas, lesiones de larguísima duración. La crisis del conjunto blanco está llegando a niveles nunca antes vistos. Va un hilo enlistando todo lo que ha pasado.

Antonio Rüdiger habría abofeteado a Álvaro Carreras en un incidente que tuvo que ser detenido por compañeros; semanas después, volvió a encararse con él a gritos hasta que el equipo le obligó a disculparse. El propio Carreras confirmó lo ocurrido en una story de Instagram.

Pero fue peor la pelea entre Tchouaméni y Valverde, que se enfrentaron físicamente ayer y hoy; el uruguayo incluso tuvo que ser trasladado al hospital tras uno de los altercados. Por otro lado, Kylian Mbappé protagonizó una discusión verbal con un miembro del cuerpo técnico.

As Operation Epic Fury progressed, President Trump made a series of increasingly vivid threats to (in effect) destroy the Iranian economy if Iran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran did not open the strait, and the campaign against economic targets never happened. 1/9

On April 7, the president announced a ceasefire with Iran, conditional on Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran did not open the strait, but it got the ceasefire anyway. 2/9

On 13 April, following the sputtering of negotiations, the U.S. Navy began blockading Iranian ports. 3/9

The Arabic word for "jinn" and the Arabic word for "baby" come from the same root.
So does "paradise." So does "madness." So does "shield." So does "heart."

Three letters. ج - ن - ن
One meaning: hidden.
Let me show you how deep this goes.

The root j-n-n (ج-ن-ن) means "to conceal."
Every word that grows from it is something hidden from you in some way.
Hidden from your eyes. Hidden from your reach. Hidden from your understanding.Arabic took one idea and built an entire universe around it.

Jinn (الجن).
Arabic didn't call them spirits. Didn't call them demons.
It called them "the hidden ones." That's the name. That's the definition. They exist. You can't see them. So Arabic named them after the only thing you need to know about them: they are concealed from you.

2/7 Minute 0-5: Distance from the trigger.

Leave the restaurant, the room, the space you walked into ten minutes ago and now feel worse standing in.

Whatever you ate, touched, smelled, or stood near opened the cascade.

Distance is the first move.

3/7 Minute 5-10: Antihistamines on board.

People online are arguing about whether modern Greeks are the only descendants of the medieval Romans of the East. Greeks say they are, others react that they are not, but a lot of that disagreement is really Greeks and foreigners using very different definitions of descent and ethnicity. So before answering the question, we first have to define ethnicity and nation, because this is not just about blood, and it is not just about claiming a label.

1. What Ethnicity Means

Anthony D. Smith defines an ethnicity as a named human community held together by shared ancestry, shared historical memories, common culture such as language, religion, and customs, a link with a homeland, and a sense of solidarity. It is the same kind of peoplehood the ancient Greeks themselves recognized through shared blood, shared language, shared religion, and shared customs. So the real question is not just who has Roman ancestry, but who continued the east Roman people as a living historical community.

2. What I Am Actually Claiming

With that in mind, my argument is not that Greeks own ancient Rome or descend alone from all Romans, because that would be too much. Many peoples descend from Roman-era populations, and many later nations took pieces of Roman civilization, but descent from Roman-era people, or borrowing from Roman civilization later, is not the same thing as living continuity with the medieval Roman world of Constantinople.

My claim is more specific, that modern Greeks are the only living continuation of the east Roman people and their culture as a historical community, the way it existed for most of the medieval empire's history.

My claim is more specific, that modern Greeks are the only living continuation of the east Roman people and their culture as a historical community, the way it existed for most of the medieval empire’s history and as it naturally evolved afterward. Of course there were changes, but that is how historical continuity works.

3. East Roman Culture as Lived Continuity

The east Romans had a living culture made from Greek language, Orthodox Christianity, Roman political memory, icons, hymns, saints, feast days, monasticism, folk traditions, and the memory of Constantinople as the Queen City.

After the empire fell, those things did not vanish and then get revived later as an aesthetic. They continued inside Greek-speaking Orthodox communities as a living culture, in church, in speech, in songs and musical traditions, in laments, in family customs, in village life, and in the old identity of Romiosini.

4. Why Descent Alone Is Not Enough

Descent on its own does not preserve an identity, since people can descend from Roman subjects while having no living Roman culture left. But culture on its own is not enough either, because someone copying icons or chanting hymns or calling himself Roman today is not suddenly the continuation of that historical people.

A real continuation needs both, descent from the historical community in some meaningful sense and the survival of its language, religion, memories, customs, and identity through time.

5. The Problem of “Too Many Romans”

There is also the issue of what Kaldellis calls “too many Romans.” If Roman simply meant anyone living under the emperor, then the word would stop describing a real people and would become only an abstract legal label. This is also why the modern label “Byzantine” creates confusion, because it can mean either every subject of the empire or only the Roman majority from whom the minorities were distinguished.

As Kaldellis says in Romanland, the label “obscures the difference between imperial subjects who were ethnically Roman and those who were not.” He makes the point directly: “Rather than a scarcity of Romans, we may now face the embarrassment of too many Romans. Some historians believe that everyone living within the empire or under the emperor’s jurisdiction was automatically a Roman, which turns what appears to be an ethnonym into an abstract formality.”

But he rejects that view, because “not everyone living within the empire or serving the emperor was regarded ethnically as a Roman. The Byzantine empire was inhabited by both Romans and non-Romans, and the latter were designated by separate ethnic names and frequently associated with stereotypes.” So the empire could rule non-Romans, use non-Roman soldiers, and even assimilate foreigners into the Roman people, but that only proves that Roman identity had real boundaries.

It was not just residence under the emperor. It involved belonging to the Roman historical community through law, culture, language, religion, homeland, memory, and assimilation into the people, a real ethnic group.

6. Why Modern Greeks Are Different

Other peoples got off the Roman bus earlier and built their own states and identities, so they may have Roman ancestry or Roman influence, but they did not continue as the Greek-speaking Orthodox Roman people of Constantinople. Greeks did.

The medieval Roman world survived only directly in the people who kept its language, its church, its songs, its saints, its memory of fallen cities and heroes like Digenis Akritas, and its longing for the City. The empire fell, but its people did not disappear. They continued as Romioi and as modern Greeks.

7. The Church as the Surviving Roman Institution

After the empire fell, the Greek Orthodox Church helped carry the Roman people through four centuries of Ottoman rule because it was the main surviving Roman institution, and it took on many of the roles that the Roman state had once held for the Roman nation.

People sometimes claim that Roman institutions were completely lost when the empire fell, but this overlooks the Church, since the Ottomans preferred dealing with religious institutions over secular ones, so the Patriarchate of Constantinople was made head of the Rum millet and put in charge of the Romioi as a people. That meant the Church carried their political and ethnic interests, ran the courts that handled their marriages, inheritances, and family disputes, kept their schools, and protected their literature and language.

The institution that had been the spiritual heart of east Rome ended up holding the whole Roman nation together when there was no longer a Roman state to do it. The Patriarchate was also put in charge of the non-Roman Orthodox peoples, just like the Roman state had been in medieval times and now in place of it, and it promoted east Roman culture among them, including the Greek language, which the east Romans called both Greek and Romaiika, meaning Romaic or the Roman language.

8. From Romaios to Hellene

The later shift from Romios to Hellene was not a swap that created something unrelated, because the two names meant the same thing. The medieval taboo that made Hellene mean pagan was gone, so it could finally be used the way Graikos and Romaios always had been. Hellene took the place of Graikos, which is the word the east Romans themselves used to distinguish themselves from the Latin West.

As Anthony Kaldellis puts it in Hellenism in Byzantium, "Graikos differentiated a Greek-speaking Roman from a Latin-speaker. These labels did not necessarily carry ideological weight, but sometimes they did, as in the exchange of insults between Michael III and pope Nicolaus I in the 860s." Greeks made Hellene their primary national identity to emphasize the Greek-speaking territories and churches, which were the core of that east Roman empire. Romios kept going in everyday speech, in church, in folk songs, and in laments, and Hellene meant the same thing to them, literally, eventually also becoming the primary ethnic identity, but without implying that they are not Romioi and the descendants of the medieval Romans.

9. Ethnicity and Nation Without One State

You can see the same logic in Cyprus today, where people call themselves Cypriot but mean Greek, because the state is its own thing while the nation behind it is the same. The logic was the same in antiquity too, since the Greek city-states didn't share one state but were still one Greek people. A single legal state has never been the test of who counts as the same nation, so modern Greece and Cyprus do not continue the east Roman state in any legal sense, but they continue the same people through the same logic, and they have kept alive its central institution, the Church, which as I explained earlier was much more than just a religious institution.

10. Continuity Through Change

In case some people think I am saying the East Romans were only “medieval Greeks” or “medieval Greece” using a fake Roman title, that is not my argument. They claimed the real Roman inheritance, but Roman identity itself had changed through history. In The New Roman Empire, Kaldellis compares this to the Ship of Theseus, saying that the Roman polity “gradually changed its component elements over the centuries, but never lost its underlying identity. It built a new capital in the east, lost the old one in the west, converted to Christianity, absorbed new populations, forgot Latin to fully embrace Greek, and adapted its institutions to meet new challenges as they came.”

The point is that people can change language, religion, capital, and institutions without becoming a completely different people, as long as the change happens through continuous historical development rather than a later artificial revival. So when I say modern Greeks continue the east Romans, I am not denying that the east Romans were real Romans. I am saying that modern Greeks descend from the east Romans and continue the later form that Roman identity and the Roman ethnic community took in the medieval empire: Greek-speaking, Orthodox, Constantinopolitan, and of course, Roman.

The song above is “Ο Κωνσταντίνος ο μικρός / Μικροκωσταντίνος,” a Greek traditional akritic folk song from Northern Greece. It belongs to the medieval frontier-song world of the Akritai, the border warriors of the east Roman frontiers.

Akritic songs are Greek folk songs about the Akritai, the frontier warriors who guarded the borderlands of the medieval east Roman world, especially along the eastern frontier with the Arabs, but also in wider Greek-speaking frontier regions. These songs survived to this day in Greek oral tradition and are part of modern Greek culture, which is why they matter as evidence of historical memory and cultural continuity.

They are usually about warriors, raids, border fighting, captivity, heroic strength, family honor, love, death, exile, and the struggle between the human world and wild forces. Some are realistic war songs, while others become almost mythic, with heroes fighting monsters, wrestling with Charon (personification of Death), crossing impossible distances, or facing death like epic figures.

The most famous akritic hero is Digenis Akritas, whose name means something like “the two-blooded frontier man,” because he is usually presented as having mixed Roman and Arab ancestry. His songs and legends show the frontier as a place where cultures meet, fight, and create heroes.

What if the women who chose to join ISIS and actively helped enforce the caliphate’s system of sexual slavery and genocide against the Yazidis were handed Western passports and allowed to resettle in Australia, the United States, or Europe with their children?

That question is no longer hypothetical. It is the reality Western governments are confronting right now as they repatriate ISIS-linked women and families from Syrian detention camps.

Let's dive deep into this!

In August 2014, ISIS launched a deliberate genocidal assault on the Yazidi people in Sinjar, Iraq. Fighters massacred around 5,000 men and elderly women, leaving bodies in mass graves that are still being uncovered.

They abducted between 6,000 and 7,000 women and girls, some as young as nine, registering them like livestock and selling them in open slave markets for as little as $30.

These captives endured daily rape, forced “marriage,” torture, beatings, and repeated trafficking between fighters.

Nearly 2,800 remain missing more than a decade later. Boys as young as seven were stolen as “Cubs of the Caliphate,” brainwashed, and turned into child soldiers.

Over 400,000 Yazidis were displaced; tens of thousands still live in camps today, their homes in ruins.

ISIS didn’t hide its intentions. It published religious justifications for treating Yazidi women as “spoils of war,” a theological license for systematic rape and forced conversion designed to erase an entire ancient faith.

The Western and local women who flocked to the caliphate were not passive wives dragged along by husbands. Many were eager participants who embraced the ideology and put it into practice.

The evidence of their complicity is overwhelming and documented by survivors:ISIS wives routinely restrained Yazidi sex slaves, pinning their arms and legs, applying makeup, dressing them in lingerie, so their fighter husbands could rape them without resistance.

Afterward, the wives forced the victims to clean the house and mocked them in front of guests.

Members of the all-female al-Khansaa Brigade served as ISIS’s feared morality police. The brigade included many educated Western women.

They patrolled the streets and punished women for supposedly “immodest” dress. They whipped and tortured women who violated ISIS’s rules.

They also guarded brothels where Yazidi captives were held. In some cases, they directly supervised the sexual exploitation and trafficking of enslaved girls.

These women oversaw “rest houses” where Yazidi slaves were held for rotating use by fighters, enforced strict rules that prevented escape, and used violence to maintain the system of enslavement.

These were not reluctant bystanders.

Many radicalised themselves online, celebrated the caliphate on social media, and chose to raise the next generation inside a regime that treated genocide and rape as official policy.

And that radicalisation has not faded.

In the al-Hol and al-Roj camps in northeast Syria, hardline ISIS mothers continue to indoctrinate their children in the same hateful ideology.

Boys are taught to glorify violence; girls are raised to accept the rules that enabled the Yazidi atrocities.

Intelligence agencies across the West have repeatedly warned that these camps are factories for future terrorists. Children raised there, some now teenagers, have known nothing but ISIS propaganda since birth.

Australia🇦🇺 has already brought back groups of these women and children in recent years, including in 2025 and 2026. Some were arrested on terrorism charges the moment they landed.

Europe and the United States face the same dilemma: the camps are humanitarian disasters and potential incubators of extremism, yet repatriation carries real risks.

Security officials openly state that insufficiently vetted returnees, and especially their radicalised older children, pose threats of further radicalisation, recruitment, or worse inside our communities.

Yazidi survivors, including Nobel laureate Nadia Murad @NadiaMuradBasee and leaders from the Free Yezidi Foundation, have been crystal clear: these women were complicit in their suffering.

Many Yazidi refugees now living in the West have expressed heartbreak and fear at the prospect of encountering their former tormentors in the same cities they fled to for safety.

They watched ISIS wives lock them in rooms, beat them, and facilitate their nightly rapes. To them, treating these women as ordinary “victims” needing compassion erases the very real hierarchy of harm.

Repatriating unrepentant or inadequately screened ISIS-linked women and their deeply indoctrinated children is not a compassionate policy; it is a gamble with public safety and moral clarity.

It risks importing not just trauma for survivors, but the very ideology that nearly wiped out an entire people.

Western societies deserve governments that place the security of their citizens and the voices of genocide survivors above political optics or feel-good narratives.

The Yazidi women who survived hell have one simple request: listen to us first.

The women who helped build the nightmare do not deserve a free pass to rebuild their lives in the same countries that took us in.

Ignoring that truth doesn’t make the threat disappear; it only brings it closer to home.

People have always quit correctional jobs at high rates. Working in a prison or jail is harmful to mental health. It means being surrounded by trauma & suffering.

Stress is puffing up your face and belly.

Meditating isn't enough, lower your cortisol for real with this:

#1 Put your face in cold water

Cold water on the face activates the diving reflex.
That reflex immediately reduces the heart rate and activates the vagus nerve. Activating the vagus nerve reduces cortisol in less than 30 seconds.
It's not a full cold shower. Just cold water on the face. 30 seconds. It works immediately.

2 Reduce environmental noise
Chronic low-intensity noise—traffic, offices, cities—continuously activates the brain's alert system.
The World Health Organization documents it: chronic exposure to urban noise sustainably raises cortisol and blood pressure.
Noise-canceling headphones. Deliberate silence at home. It's not comfort. It's nervous system regulation.

🧵The Iranian regime’s “oil storage clock” is ticking down to zero — and the U.S. Navy just turned up the dial.

Tankers are bottled up. No exports means no cash. With no revenue, even the mullahs can only last so long.

But it's even worse than that. ⏰🇺🇸

2/ Since Trump’s blockade began, 1.5+ million barrels per day have nowhere to go. Storage is nearly full.

Analysts say forced shut-ins hit mid-May to mid-June. $13 billion a month in regime revenue — gone.

And shut-in fields are damaged fields. Some may not recover.

3/ When storage runs out, wells get shut in and may never recover. Corrosion, “wax” oil solidifying, water coning — possibly permanent loss of 300,000–500,000 barrels per day.

That’s $9–15 billion a year the mullahs would NEVER get back. 💥
