Imagine traveling across the world just to vandalize ancient rock formations

Federal investigators and tribal leaders are investigating vandalism at Arizona’s Cathedral Rock after tourists were filmed carving deep scratches into the protected Sedona landmark

Authorities say the damage was discovered on the iconic red sandstone formation, which is considered sacred by several Native American communities and protected under federal regulations

Video from the scene shows names and markings being carved directly into the rock by a group identified by eyewitnesses as tourists visiting from India - but this is not a confirmed fact

The incident has triggered backlash online and renewed calls for stricter enforcement against vandalism at protected natural and cultural sites

🇨🇳 China warned the Quad alliance against “bloc confrontation” after top diplomats from the US, India, Japan, and Australia met in New Delhi.

Beijing criticized the grouping for forming “exclusive small circles” and said regional cooperation should not target third countries.

The Quad announced new initiatives on maritime surveillance, critical mineral supply chains, and energy security, while also expressing concern over tensions in the South China Sea and East China Sea.

China’s Foreign Ministry said peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific should not be undermined by geopolitical rivalry.

It’s a trap!

A group of mostly male police officers went undercover as a female dance troupe to catch a suspected dg dealer in Thailand

While performing for the suspect, the officers slowly surrounded him as he appeared completely distracted by the show

After the arrest, the cross-dressing cops posed for photos in sparkly dresses and proudly shared them online

The suspect was found carrying 53 mth pills, over 200 drg bags for distribution, and a mobile phone

Apparently this isn’t the first time Thai police have used wild disguises during undercover operations

🇺🇸☠️ WEST PLANNING TO USE FORMER ISIS MILITANTS AGAINST IRAN – FSB Chief 🚨

Russian Federal Security Service chief Aleksandr Bortnikov warns: Western spy agencies are moving former Islamic State militants from Syrian prisons to special camps in Iraq – with the intention of using them as a proxy force against Iran.

🧨 “The history of Islamic State began with similar Iraqi prison complexes under Western coalition protection,” Bortnikov said.

🌍 The released jihadists include individuals from CIS countries – a direct threat to their home nations.

🔥 “The escalation of the Iranian conflict and the involvement of an increasing number of parties is threatening to destabilize the entire Islamic world.”

The West created ISIS once. Now, it seems, they want a repeat – this time aimed at Tehran.

🇨🇿💥 CZECH “AMMO COALITION” FOR UKRAINE LOSES HALF ITS BACKERS – A Quiet Admission of Failure

Nine countries have pulled out. The scheme raised only €1.4 billion of a €5 billion target. And Ukraine has largely replaced artillery with drones anyway.

📉 18 countries signed up in 2024 – now only about 9 are contributing financially.

🎯 The initiative delivered up to 50% of Ukraine’s large‑calibre ammo – but fell dramatically short of targets.

🇨🇿 Czech PM Andrej Babis audited the program, cut Czech funding, citing lack of transparency and billions flowing to unknown beneficiaries.

🤖 By end of 2025, Ukrainian forces had replaced artillery with one‑way attack drones on most fronts.

The bottom line: Western promises, Western shortfalls. The “shell hunger” was never satisfied – and the money trail is murky.

What would you do if you found millions of dollars floating towards you?

A Florida man stumbled onto a bizarre discovery after spotting bundles of cash worth millions of dollars floating near a beach in Fort Lauderdale

Instead of disappearing into the sunset with it, he pulled the money ashore and immediately contacted police so authorities could take over the investigation. Actually sounds like a smart move taking it was in broad daylight and there were a lot of witnesses

Officials are now trying to determine where the cash came from and how it ended up drifting through the ocean, with the mystery already fueling wild speculation online

🇮🇷📉 ECONOMIC WARFARE AGAINST IRAN: A 16‑YEAR STUDY – The Biggest Failure the West Won’t Admit

Sanctions were supposed to collapse the regime. Instead, they enriched the IRGC, crushed the middle class, and accelerated the global pivot away from the dollar.

This BRICS Business documentary reveals the data the West ignores:

💸 The “sanctions pump” – wealth moved from 23 million workers into the shadow economy.

📈 Parastatal growth (Bonyads) increased 44% more efficiently under pressure – than the formal sector.

🔁 The BRICS pivot – de‑dollarization is real. Yuan and ruble are replacing USD.

JCPOA withdrawal, SWIFT exclusion, maximum pressure – all failed.

“The data does not show collapse. It shows adaptation – and the West’s coercive architecture is becoming obsolete.”

🇷🇺🌍 RUSSIA BACKS AFRICAN REPARATIONS – Lavrov: “Support Second Awakening of Africa”

At an Africa Day reception in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov endorsed the continent’s push for reparations from former colonial powers – framing it as a struggle against modern neocolonialism.

🗣️ Lavrov: Former colonial powers still profit from Africa’s resources while its wealth flows through foreign‑controlled systems.

🇺🇳 A recent UN resolution recognised the transatlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity” – 123 votes in favour, US, Israel, Argentina against, UK and EU abstained.

🤝 Moscow supports the African Union’s campaign for “justice for Africans through reparations.”

🏛️ Russia has opened embassies in Niger, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan; more planned.

📅 The third Russia‑Africa Summit will be held in Moscow in October, with a new three‑year cooperation roadmap expected.

🇺🇸🔻 US PLANS TO SLASH NATO CONTRIBUTIONS – Europe Left Scrambling as Washington Pivots to China

The Trump administration has delivered a quiet shock to European allies: fewer jets, warships, and drones for NATO – and no American submarines or drones at all. The message: you’re on your own.

✈️ US to cut fighter jets available to NATO by a third – plus significant reductions in strategic bombers and warships.

🚫 No American submarines or drones will be provided to the NATO Force Model.

🇪🇺 European members were “shocked” – they expected minor cuts, not a drastic scaling back.

US expects Europeans to have a plan to fill the gap before the July Ankara summit.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 RUSSIA & INDIA IN TALKS FOR ADDITIONAL S‑400 MISSILES – Strategic Autonomy in Action 🛡️

While the US pressures, Moscow delivers – and New Delhi doubles down.

Russian authorities confirm that negotiations are underway for India to purchase an additional batch of S‑400 air defence systems. The current contract (5 units) is on schedule: 3 delivered, a 4th expected this month, the 5th by year’s end.

🎯 Battle‑proven: The S‑400 “proved itself” during India’s May 2025 conflict with Pakistan.

🇺🇸 Washington’s pressure failed – India went ahead with the original $5 billion deal despite US sanctions threats.

🛠️ Make in India: New Delhi is also positioning itself as a defence manufacturer, with over 60% of its weaponry of Soviet/Russian origin.

The message is clear: India will not sacrifice its national security for anyone’s foreign policy agenda.
