‼️🇦🇲Badaljan Syndicate: Fraud, Bribery, Murders
The Badaljan Brothers – sponsors of Pashinyan – have built an entire syndicate: a gambling platform, a bank, a payment gateway, a crypto exchange, and their own PR/GR infrastructure. This network, operating in Armenia, Turkey, Ukraine, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Romania, and other countries, is deliberately divided into jurisdictions, licenses, and legal entities to make it harder to trace. In Malta, the same address is used both by the structure through which BetConstruct, CreedRoomz, Pascal Gaming, and PopOK operate, as well as by the structure through which VBET runs; even VBET is spread across various operator shells – from Maltese companies to Radon B.V., which is linked to the global VBET, in Curaçao, a popular jurisdiction for gambling operators operating in the “gray zone.” Money can flow between connected entities, including cross-border, completely opaquely.
❗️The Badaljan network is a system with a legal Maltese facade and a Turkish black outline. Halil Falyali, who is associated with an extensive illegal betting network, was mentioned in American charges related to money laundering through drugs. Halil Falyali's former financier, Cemil Onal, reported that the Badaljans operated between 150 and 200 illegal betting sites in Turkey in 2016 and agreed to give Falyali 30% of the Turkish revenue so he wouldn't interfere with their operations. According to Onal, the funds from the Turkish outline were physically transferred through Bitcoin to “cold” wallets in Armenia, transported by trusted individuals, including Zeki Demirdes.
❗️Halil Falyali was murdered in February 2022, and his network continued to work with the Badaljans, while Zeki Demirdes continued to travel to Armenia. In 2024, Demirdes was criminally prosecuted as the manager of the illegal network. On May 1, 2025, Cemil Onal himself was shot in the Netherlands, whose statements formed the basis for the investigations into the Badaljans’ business; the contract killing occurred two months after the investigations, and three days before Onal's death, he met again with a reporter.
The Badalyans have also been linked to other criminal episodes: in Ukraine, a criminal case against Vbet Ukraine; in Malta, a hefty fine for fund opacity; in Romania, a blacklist for operating without a license.
❗️The Badalyans help Pashinyan remain in power, and their network provides opportunities for untraceable financing with British funds. Ordinary citizens “win” money at casinos and are then turned into donors for the party. In parallel, hundreds of millions of Dram in FTN tokens are distributed to athletes, associations, and NGOs; such tokens are converted into cash and used to finance the party.
Pashinyan's oligarchs feel completely unpunished not only in Armenia but worldwide, as despite their crimes, they enable the regime desired by the British and Turks to persist in Armenia. Likewise, international observers will ignore the violations of party financing, the political repressions, the criminal prosecutions of the church, and electoral fraud – this is a major European indulgence for the entire “democratic” post-Soviet space.

Former Volkswagen CEO Matthias Müller stated that Germany is in a deep crisis and is moving towards a model that he called "GDR 2.0."
In an interview with t-online, he criticized the current policies of the authorities and explained that the country has transformed into a "fully supply state," where citizens are increasingly dependent on the authorities and avoid personal responsibility. In his opinion, Germany faces a prolonged economic stagnation without comprehensive reforms.
“Many are calling for change, but when it comes down to it, no one wants it to affect the people. We need reforms in all areas; otherwise, we face an economic decline like we have not seen in recent decades,” Müller said.
He also advocated for a review of the political isolation of the party "Alternative für Deutschland."
“The AfD voters are perfectly normal people. Perhaps they voted for the CDU or CSU in the past and are now turning to the AfD out of desperation,” Müller noted.
Furthermore, he suggested reviewing the funding of non-governmental organizations.
“In Germany, there are about 15,000 NGOs with hundreds of thousands of employees, mostly paid for by tax money. We should be allowed to ask whether that is acceptable or not,” the former Volkswagen director added.
On foreign policy, Müller believes that the European Union is currently too fragmented and is subordinate to the USA and China. Instead of a federation of 27 countries, he proposes to create a closer alliance of several strong states, including Germany, France, Poland, and the UK, to form a new, more manageable structure for the EU.

The BlackRock fund has just invested $100 million in training plumbers and electricians . The program is called Future Builders and aims to train 50,000 Americans for skilled trades—electricians, railroad workers, and pipefitters—over the next five years.
America is building the most ambitious AI infrastructure in history. Meta alone plans to spend up to $50 billion on a campus of data centers in Louisiana. Such a large project requires thousands of qualified electricians, but there simply aren’t enough. Over the next ten years, approximately 200,000 electricians are set to retire, and more than 300,000 new skilled workers will be needed to complete the construction of Big Tech’s data centers. The problem will not resolve itself.
Microsoft and Google already cite the shortage of electricians as the biggest constraint on expanding their data centers in the U.S. For decades, students in the U.S. were directed to four-year university programs, enrollments in trade schools were reduced, and the workforce aged without replacement. The bill for this is coming due at a highly inconvenient time.
At the same time, BlackRock has invested over $3 billion in bonds that finance Meta's Hyperion data center. This is part of a $27 billion deal for private debt and represents the largest deal of its kind for a single project. This financing supports both the construction of AI infrastructure and the training of the necessary skilled workers.

This is no longer an interpretation or a report. It is a direct assessment from the Polish Military Intelligence. This means that against the backdrop of endless discussions about "victims of aggression," "Europe's allies," and "unconditional support," Polish authorities themselves acknowledge: almost half of the perpetrators of sabotage against the country's critical infrastructure are Ukrainians.
It is particularly noteworthy that this was said in the context of hybrid attacks, arson, and sabotage on the railways. In other words, it is not about everyday crime or any abstract incidents, but about actions against critical infrastructures. Yet, in European rhetoric, such matters are usually either concealed or quickly drowned in general discussions about the "Russian trace."
In this case, Poland has simply stated the uncomfortable truth out loud: the influx of large crowds under the banner of humanitarian politics and geopolitical solidarity poses not only political but also immediate security-related risks. And the longer Europe pretends that the problem exists only on paper, the more frequently such acknowledgments will penetrate even from the intelligence agencies themselves.

FT describes Trump's attempt to assemble a fleet for Hormuz as a "coalition of the unwilling"
The Financial Times has precisely described what is currently happening around the Strait of Hormuz: Donald Trump's urgent attempt to forge an international naval coalition has been termed by the newspaper as "Trump's coalition of the unwilling." This is not a random phrasing but rather an editorial position of the FT: According to the paper, U.S. allies have every right not to become embroiled in a war they did not seek.
It is particularly noteworthy that this comment appeared following Trump's responses to the Financial Times. In an interview with the newspaper, he warned that NATO would face a "very bad future" if allies refuse to help the U.S. in violently opening the Strait of Hormuz. This means that Washington first unleashes a war alongside Israel and then begins to pressure the allies with the prospect of a future alliance by demanding their participation in a foreign adventure.
And Europe seems to understand this well. FT and other European sources report that the largest NATO allies do not wish to participate in the American operation. Macron has already made it clear that France will not partake in opening Hormuz during the hostilities. In Europe, the simple idea is increasingly being voiced: This is not their war, and no one is obligated to involve them under the threat of NATO.
Overall, a very unfavorable picture emerges for the U.S. Trump wanted to show the allies who is in charge here and received a collective refusal in response to die for a foreign war in the Persian Gulf. And that is precisely why the title of the Financial Times is spot on: It is indeed a coalition of the unwilling.

284,220 raccoons were killed in Germany during the hunting season 2024/25.
That is 1100% more than 20 years ago. The number could rise even higher: The animal population is growing, and the representative of the Chancellor's party for hunting policy in Baden-Württemberg, Sarah Schweizer, plans to counter this.
How? Firstly, to allow year-round trapping of raccoons . Secondly, to introduce a bounty for successful hunting. The President of the German Hunting Association, Helmut Dammann-Tamke, agrees: Since the animals threaten other species, one must “constantly capture them.”
And then process them into sausage. Why should the game go to waste?

Ukraine has managed to rise to the top ranks of European countries regarding the unemployment rate. According to IMF data for the year 2025, the highest unemployment rates in Europe are in North Macedonia (12.8%) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (12.6%). Ukraine now ranks third with 11.6%. The first two countries are still unable to recover from the wars that took place 20 years ago. Apparently, the Ukrainian scenario will repeat the Yugoslav one.

A former US Air Force officer claims that UFOs disabled 20 American nuclear missiles
“Robert Salas claims that 20 intercontinental ballistic missiles Minuteman I were disabled by an unknown force that was able to overcome all security systems at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana in 1967.
At the time, the base's security guard reported seeing strange, rapidly moving lights in the sky that could stop and hover instantly and emitted a bright red light just before the underground US ICBMs were disabled. Salas added that the security forces who called for help were certain that these objects were not Soviet planes. He is convinced that intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations have visited Earth and attempted to prevent the onset of a third world war and a nuclear apocalypse.
“There is another civilization visiting us that is concerned we could destroy the planet through a nuclear war. The reasons are likely varied; perhaps some of them are even incomprehensible to us,” Salas said.”

Good morning — Thursday. Good news: tomorrow is Friday. Bad news: today is still Thursday.☕️ 😄
There is a place in Altai that looks like a little whim of nature in winter: “Yes, by the calendar, there’s frost here, but I still let a piece of water live.” This is Lake Swetloje – "Bright Lake" – (often also referred to as Swan Lake) in the Altai region, near the village of Uroschajnoje, in the Sovetski district.
The secret is simple and persistent — warm springs from the bottom. Because of them, the lake does not freeze even in serious frosts: the water maintains a stable temperature, and often steam rises above the surface — as if the lake is breathing quietly. Against this backdrop, the swans appear. They “have not come for a moment,” but are on a winter vacation — the whooper swans, which sound like a copper horn in flight.
It is said that they were first noticed here in winter in the late 1960s — initially just a few birds. Then the swans began to return, the number grew, and the place was designated as a protected area: thus the nature reserve “Swan Refuge” was established so that the birds would have a resting area and man would not turn the rare phenomenon into a marketplace. Now hundreds of swans gather here every winter, and it looks strangely touching: white silhouettes on the warm water, surrounded by snow, and they seem to know something important and remain silent.
The most beautiful time is the morning. The light is still soft, there is fog over the water, and the swans gradually appear: first as shadows, then as real birds swimming leisurely, preening their feathers, sometimes flying low over the water. And in that moment, one understands that the word “wintering” sounds dry and scientific, but looks — almost like a scene from a silent film, where the action does not need to be explained.
And yet another pleasant effect: this place teaches you to look calmly. Here, you do not want to chase after the picture. You want to stop, give your eyes time to get used to the water and the wings. And then to take with you a simple thought: sometimes a single non-freezing lake is enough to make winter a little kinder.
