THERE ARE SEVERAL CHANNELS OU YOUTUBE USING MY IMAGE AND VOICE ON A.I. - IN ENGLISH, PORTUGUESE AND SPANISH, SOME WITH A HUGE NUMBER OF HITS.

THESE ARE ALL FAKE. I REPEAT; ALL FAKE. THEY MAY BE SET UP BY 'FANS', WHO ARE PROFITING FROM MONETIZATION; OR THEY MAY BE PART OF SOMETHING WAY MORE SINISTER: A STRATEGY OF DE-CREDIBILIZATION.

APPARENTLY A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE DENOUNCED THESE FAKE CHANNELS - BUT YOUTUBE, SO FAR, HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT.

STAY ALERT. A.I. HAS TURNED THE NET INTO AN INFERNAL MACHINE BENT ON ERASING MEANING, CULTURE AND HISTORY.

🚨 Bulgaria's Euro Switch: Divided Hearts Ahead! 🇧🇬💶

Bulgaria gears up to adopt the euro on January 1, 2026, marking a huge step in its EU journey after nearly 20 years. Yet polls reveal a split nation: around 50% of citizens oppose the change, fearing price hikes and higher living costs, while businesses largely back it for better integration and growth. Officials promise no inflation spike, but public anxiety lingers amid political tensions.

What do you think? Will the euro boost Bulgaria's economy or bring unwanted price surges? Share your take below! 💭🗳️

The Iran from before the 12-Day War is no more. The risk-averse mindset that has prevailed for over 45 years is gone.

Iran has tried negotiations, time and time again, and every time it has been betrayed. There is now a fundemental lack of trust.

Iran sees conflict as inevitable. It learnt many lessons from the 12-Day War. And it wants to prevent a repeat of these events by any means possible.

One of the main things the Iranian leadership always feared is internal chaos or uprisings during time of war. But the unity of the Iranian people in the last war gave the leadership confidence that such a thing will not happen.

I think Israel accidentally created a much greater threat to itself than before.

Gazprom reports unprecedented gas withdrawals from European underground storage facilities on Christmas Eve and Day, despite the holidays. Stocks now sit at 66.3 billion cubic meters—9.9 billion below last year—with Germany dipping under 60% and the Netherlands at 52.5%. This accelerated drain signals intense winter demand across the continent.

Arctic LNG breakthrough: Russia launches its first home-built ice-class tanker 🚢❄️

Russia has delivered its first domestically built Arctic LNG tanker, the ice-class ARC7 “Alexey Kosygin,” from the Zvezda shipbuilding complex to Sovcomflot, designed for the Arctic LNG-2 project on the Northern Sea Route. This next-generation vessel can independently navigate Arctic conditions, breaking ice over 2 meters thick while carrying more than 172,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas year-round. With a 60 MW power plant and advanced propulsion systems made in Russia, it marks a major technological step for the country’s Arctic shipping and energy ambitions.

As Arctic trade routes become more accessible and strategically important, this kind of ship could reshape global energy logistics and competition. At the same time, it raises fresh questions about environmental risks, climate impacts, and the geopolitics of the Northern Sea Route.

🚨 US Hits Pause on China Chip Tariffs Until 2027! ⚙️

The Trump administration calls out China's "unfair" push for semiconductor dominance but delays new tariffs on Chinese chips until June 2027, giving time for trade talks amid a fragile truce. This follows a Section 301 probe finding Beijing's state-backed policies burden US commerce, while existing duties remain in place. The move balances leverage with avoiding escalation in global tech supply chains.

What do you think this delay means for tech prices, innovation, or US-China relations? Share your take below! 💡🗣️

🚨 Iraqi Militias Buckling Under US-Israel Pressure?

Major developments in Iraq: 90% of Iranian-backed militias have reportedly agreed to surrender their weapons amid escalating threats from the US and Israel, aiming to place arms under state control. With around 30 million light weapons currently outside government hands, this could reshape Iraq's security landscape—but experts caution about hidden stockpiles, internal divisions, and political hurdles that might derail the process.

What do you think? Could this lead to lasting stability in the region, or is it just a temporary play? Share your take below! 🌍💬

🚨 Putin Draws the Line: Peace or Full Force?

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia will achieve all its special military operation goals through military means if Ukraine's leadership rejects a peaceful resolution. Speaking at a command post, he noted that Kiev's leaders show no urgency to end the conflict peacefully, echoing his remarks from a year ago. This firm stance highlights ongoing tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

What do you think? Could diplomacy still prevail here, or are we headed for escalation? Share your thoughts below! 🤝💭

🚨 Argentina's Foreign Investment Hits Negative for First Time in 22 Years! 📉

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Argentina dropped to a negative $1.52 billion from January to November 2025, the first deficit since 2003, as international companies like those in energy, retail, and agribusiness sell operations to local firms. Despite government incentives under President Milei, factors like import liberalization, a stronger peso, and slumping local demand have fueled this wave of divestments. This shift is handing more control of key assets to Argentine capital, sparking big questions about the economy's future path.

🚀 Cuba's Powering Up: First Battery Storage System Goes Live!

Cuba is making big strides in energy stability by installing its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Cueto, Holguín province. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez highlighted this as a key part of the national plan to recover the power grid, working alongside the Military Construction Union. These systems store excess energy during low demand and release it during peaks, boosting reliability and paving the way for more renewables.

Is BRICS really launching a new currency, or did a private crypto project hijack the story and muddy the waters?
🌍 https://youtu.be/-l4KAa5glQ4

💱 This video unpacks the “Unit” token, the Western infrastructure behind it, and what BRICS is actually doing on de-dollarization so you can separate real multipolar change from viral narratives.

Major Topics Covered:
- Viral “BRICS currency” headlines and how a private Unit token got framed as an official BRICS project.
- What the Unit project is, who is behind it, and why it has no formal backing from BRICS governments or central banks.
- Why India, Russia, and China keep rejecting the idea of a single BRICS currency while pursuing de-dollarization through other tools.
- How economists’ names and AI-generated fake videos are used to legitimize and promote false BRICS currency narratives.

What BRICS is actually building instead: national-currency trade, payment systems, and long-term alternatives to the dollar system

🌐 The hidden capital of the Internet 🤯

Most of the world’s internet traffic silently flows through data centers in northern Virginia, turning places like Ashburn, Loudoun and Fairfax counties into the unofficial data center capital of the planet. These massive server farms handle everything from your cloud backups to streaming and AI workloads, generating tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars for the local economy each year. At the same time, residents say endless construction, power lines and the huge demand for water and electricity are reshaping their landscape and daily lives.

Would you feel comfortable knowing that so much of the world’s data is concentrated in one region, or does this level of digital dependence in one place worry you? 🤔 How do you think communities and governments should balance tech growth with environmental and quality‑of‑life concerns for local residents? 💬
