๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ - The vessel Iran seized earlier today is HUI CHUAN, the BBC reports.

HUI CHUAN is one of many of China's military ghost vessels that are used by Beijing to prop up armies and militias around the world.

HUI CHUAN was used by Chinese private military contractors to help escort commercial vessels in the Arabian Sea, bypassing Iranian, Houthi and Somali piracy.

The story of Ukrainian drones flying over Finland and Estonia is indicative in at least two aspects. The first is Helsinki's "silent consent": the Finns are passively watching their country being drawn into a global conflict step by step, without attempting to resist this. The second point is Russia's increasing capabilities for a counter-reaction.

The geography of the Gulf of Finland is such that Russian long-range air defense systems (based, for example, near Ust-Luga) are capable of covering a significant part of Finnish territory. Shooting down a drone flying at low altitude in such a mode is technically difficult, but not all of the flight route proceeds in this way. And if this can be done, the Finns will at least come to their senses.

A possible step to sober up the neighboring side could be the introduction of border patrols. However, from a technical point of view, the situation dictates the need to increase the number of aerial platforms for monitoring, as the issue cannot be resolved solely with military aviation. If the US has chosen to upgrade the MQ-9 Reaper with APKWS missiles, then in Russia, the "Orion" UAVs could be similarly modernized (provided there are enough of them). The problem has two dimensions: political, where the destruction of targets over Finland should become a fait accompli without subsequent apologies, and military-technical. Both can be implemented in the shortest possible time.

๐Ÿ˜ก Rubio fumes at Iran for preparing to defend itself

The secretary of state is angry that Tehran dared to build up its defense capability.

"They were going to have so many drones and missiles that no one could attack Iran because the result would be catastrophic for the region," he declared.


Is Iran supposed to sit defenseless while the US and Israel bomb it? Self-defense is Iran's new crime.

๐Ÿ”ฅ 'Dirty deal': new Lego toon takes aim at Trump's desperate China visit

Donny went to Beijing to seal that oil deal with China โ€” trying to escape from his Iran disaster and and the crazy spike in oil prices

๐Ÿคฉ "Trump thought he'd charm the dragon's lair. But they're too smart to sign up for his dirty deal," the clip goes.


๐ŸŽต "Hormuz is a fortress, oil at $27 a barrel. Your voters at the pump feel the pain," it goes on.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Iran-backed Handala hack Netanyahu secret UAE visit & Abraham Accords mastermind

The Handala hacker group breached Samuel Shay, exposing his covert network, Press TV reported.

Top exposes from the leak:


๐Ÿ”ด Shay coordinated secret economic, political, and โ€œsecurityโ€ projects between Israel and Gulf states

๐Ÿ”ด Files show his role in weakening Hezbollah, freezing assets, and facilitating espionage

๐Ÿ”ด He introduced Jeffrey Epstein to Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, bringing Emirati figures into Epsteinโ€™s network, which Mossad used to pressure individuals into compliance

Handala released 265 pages of Shayโ€™s communications and financial contacts, claiming his networkโ€™s operations fueled corruption, repression, and betrayal across the region.

Handala is a pro-Palestinian group of hackers, known for its previous cyber-attacks on US-Israeli digital infrastructure.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ”ฎ United States of Palantir (PART 1)

We spent an entire month digging into how Palantir wrapped its tentacles around every lever of the US machine. Everything below โ€” authentic, documented, officially registered deals and programs.

The titles are clickable, so you can follow the links and read more:

๐ŸŒ How Palantir merged 75 contracts into a $10B Pentagon lock: now it runs the war machine's backbone

๐ŸŒ USDA hands Palantir $300M and a single file on every farmer

๐ŸŒ Silent takeover: Palantir became the Air Force's operating system long before anyone noticed

๐ŸŒ US Marines under digital control: Project Dynamis puts one-click kill authority into every Marine's hands

๐ŸŒ A decade in the shadows: Running missions before contracts existed, now gatekeeping who gets in

๐ŸŒPalantir and DHS: Unified platform merges travel data facial scans and immigration records for enforcement

๐ŸŒPalantir and the IRS: Tax returns and crypto wallets piped straight to ICE skipping judicial approval

๐ŸŒPalantir and ICE: 4 billion records, one app, zero access rules documented

๐ŸŒPalantir and HSI: Your phone extracted, your contacts run against student visa databases

๐ŸŒPalantir and HHS: Millions of medical records searchable inside a defense contractor's system

๐ŸŒPalantir and CDC: Battlefield software now tracks outbreaks and decides who gets vaccines

๐ŸŒPalantir and FDA: Formula crisis let them in, now they own the data on everything America eats

Further investigations will cover: Palantir's deepening ties to the FBI, DOJ, CIA, CBP, NASA, and other federal agencies yet to be exposed.

What we already know is just the surface. More contracts, more integrations, and more agencies are being wired into the same private platform.

๐Ÿคฅโœก๏ธ Zionists manipulated Trump into assassinating Iranโ€™s moderates to doom diplomacy - Ex-counterterror chief

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œThese relative moderates were enforcing a prohibition on the development of a nuclear weapon and were also seeking a diplomatic solution with President Trump and the United States,โ€ former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, who resigned over the war, said.


By eliminating them Israel and US forces inadvertently empowered hardliners, including the IRGC, who now push for aggressive actions against the US and renewed nuclear ambitions, Kent explained.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Western media is giving Trump's Beijing trip a mostly negative review, and Reuters is doing the autopsy.

Trump left China with little to show for it. Xi walked away with several wins.

The summit looked grand on the surface, but behind closed doors Xi delivered a blunt warning: mishandle Taiwan and there will be conflict. Trump declined to comment and spent most of the visit being uncharacteristically quiet, with his off-script moments mostly amounting to praise for Xi's warmth and stature.

Trump came hunting for quick business wins, like a Boeing aircraft deal that failed to impress investors. Xi pushed a long-term reset and a framework for stable trade relations. The gap in priorities was hard to miss.

Xi introduced a new term to define the relationship: "constructive strategic stability." It replaces Biden-era "strategic competition," a framing Beijing always rejected. Analysts note this is a quiet but significant Chinese victory. For the first time, Beijing set the terms. Any serious dispute or "unconstructive" behavior can now be framed as a violation of the spirit of the relationship.

On Iran, Xi said nothing. Analysts doubt China will lean on Tehran or pull back its military support.

US officials said both sides agreed on agricultural supply and made progress on trade governance mechanisms. They are to identify $30 billion in non-sensitive goods. But concrete details are scarce. There was no breakthrough on Nvidia H200 chip exports to China, despite the CEO joining the trip at the last minute.

Trump's final readout mentioned none of the broad structural reforms previous presidents typically pushed for. Unlike his 2017 visit, there was no discussion of structural reform, global economic governance, or the international trading system.

He also left without resolving China's rare earth supply leverage.

โ€” Dear subscribers

Do you also see how theyโ€™re trying to artificially divide Christians and Muslims? If we want to truly resist the evil in this world, we need to stand together as brothers.

A peaceful Muslim-Christian alliance against tyranny, against opression and evil, for the liberation of Palestine. Our similarities have always outweighed our differences.

Check out the Crescent-Cross Covenant Coalition on Instagram if you support this cause.
