🇮🇷🇸🇦 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on cooperating with members of the Mecca Alliance:
"Tehran’s hosting of senior military and security officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye is a key development toward establishing regional diplomacy.
Lasting stability and security in the Middle East can only be achieved by relying on the region’s own countries, and this meeting could pave the way for broader cooperation."
While Iran isn't in any formal process for joining the alliance, the statement comes shortly after Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said that the whole Muslim world should act as a united front.

This is obviously where it ends, despite the ups and downs in between.
I believe the region is changing forever, and all local powers are posturing to secure their assets and chokepoints.
In my opinion, this is what a post-US West Asia eventually looks like.
Remember, China began using its influence towards this outcome in 2023.
Iran has allowed the region to renegotiate their US bases.
Netanyahu’s announcement about potentially using crypto to circumvent banking sanctions signals that he anticipates sanctions if he survives the election tomorrow.
And, yes, a regional settlement will require a Palestinian state.
Keep an eye on the end destination and ignore the daily drama if you want to stay sane and see through the fog of war.

The UK, Nordics, Baltics doing the preparedness work for the public now.
👇
“Be ready by having some everyday essentials… three litres of water per person per day, tinned goods... to last a few days”
Speaking to @vicderbyshire, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting details advice to households to be prepared for a “dangerous and turbulent world”.

Scorpiotiger77 🃏renaissance guy retweeted
🇬🇧 WTF IS GOING ON?!
Britain's Defence Secretary urged households to STOCK UP on emergency supplies, warning that terrorists and state-backed actors could disrupt everyday life.
Wes Streeting told families to keep water, canned food, baby supplies, flashlights, phone chargers, and even CASH at home in case payment systems went down.
He stressed that there was no specific intelligence pointing to an imminent attack, but admitted Britain had fallen behind other European countries in preparing civilians for serious disruptions.
“There's no sugar coating the fact that we do live in a more dangerous and turbulent world.”

The major question in Brazil…
At exactly 5pm, a code is supposed to be entered that closes and locks the voting machines. Once a machine is locked, it can’t accept any more votes. It’s irreversible.
The Supreme Court extension was relayed a few minutes after polls were supposed to be closed and machines locked.
So… which machines were kept open? In what districts were those machines? And why weren’t they locked at 5pm?

🚨 WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL GOVERNMENTS PREPARING FOR?
Something extraordinary is happening, and the timing deserves serious attention.
🇬🇧 UNITED KINGDOM: The British government has just launched an emergency preparedness campaign urging citizens to stockpile at least 72 hours of food, water, and essential supplies in case electricity, communications, and other critical services are disrupted.
🇺🇸 UNITED STATES: The Pentagon’s newly reported FORTRESS initiative aims to prepare every major military installation in the continental US to sustain essential operations for 90 DAYS WITHOUT OUTSIDE SUPPORT, including electricity, fuel, water, and communications. The planning explicitly considers a major war capable of crippling civilian power grids, breaking global supply chains, and threatening critical infrastructure on American soil.
🇮🇳 INDIA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has now publicly warned that modern wars are no longer fought exclusively with weapons. Entire nations can be weakened by attacking their economies, and their banking systems must be defended against cyberterrorism.
🇬🇧 BANK OF ENGLAND: Governor Andrew Bailey has warned G20 finance ministers and central bankers that advanced AI could dramatically amplify cyber threats, potentially endangering global financial stability.
🌐 IMF: The International Monetary Fund is sounding similar alarms about AI-enabled cyberattacks and the possibility of severe disruptions spreading across interconnected financial institutions.

This paper answers why confident idiots run the world.
Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy.
It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.”
they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception.
And the results are wild.
participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile.
they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence.
the paper revealed a brutal paradox:
the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain.
if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing.
this creates a dangerous systemic loop.
the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions.
meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse.
top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else.
they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add.
we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence.
the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't.
the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.

Everyone in Europe argues about the symptoms. Almost nobody looks at the plumbing: who funds the people who write the norms, litigate before the courts and set the boundaries of the debate.
Take the best-documented case: the Open Society Foundations, created by George Soros. Over a billion dollars a year. Roughly $32 billion given away since 1984. Not a single voter ever approved one of those dollars.
The model is simple and ruthless. You don't need to win an election. You fund NGOs, think tanks, legal clinics, university programs. They produce reports, train lawyers, run strategic litigation. And some of those people end up inside the institutions.
Concrete example: the European Court of Human Rights. A 2020 report found that at least 22 of the 100 permanent judges between 2009 and 2019 came from seven NGOs that are highly active before that same Court. Open Society is the main one, and it funds the other six.
The worst part: in 88 cases, 18 judges sat on the bench while the NGO they came from was the applicant, the representative or an intervening party. In any listed company, that's called a conflict of interest.
None of this is illegal. That's exactly the hack. These institutions were designed to protect themselves from governments and parties. Nobody planned for a private actor funding the entire chain: the plaintiff, the expert, the lawyer, and sometimes yesterday's colleague who is now the judge.
Same logic in Brussels: a dedicated policy advocacy institute, tens of millions flowing to NGOs at the heart of the EU, and Open Society among the largest private donors to the Council of Europe.
And the money? Soros made his fortune speculating, most famously against the British pound in 1992. But let's be precise: the foundation doesn't make money, it spends it. The return isn't financial, it's normative. Shaping the rules is worth more than any dividend.
So stop shouting "Soros" like an incantation. It gets engagement and changes nothing. The problem is structural: any billionaire, left or right, could do exactly the same thing tomorrow. Many already do.
What we should demand is rules. Full transparency on the funding of NGOs that litigate before European courts and institutions. Public declarations of interest for judges. Automatic recusal. Traceability of foreign money in lobbying.
Stop staring at the puppets. Look at the plumbing. Whoever funds the infrastructure of the debate always ends up writing its conclusions.

"The split on the British right is now exclusively to do with immigration. The Tories are responsible for the Boriswave, and even if they promised to fully reverse it, we would see the same mithering about "fairness" from Tory MPs that we see from Labour backbenchers. They cannot be trusted to clean up their own mess, especially not after Badenoch's conference speech. Her undisguised contempt for Reform was a mask off moment."
Key point
"Eventually things will worsen to the extent that the public is ready for a more robust approach, and Farage will retire eventually, at which point there is likely to be more unity on the right. Farage is a big part of the problem. But once Reform, under new leadership, is unambiguous on its approach to immigration and deportations, Restore will evaporate. Reform will then have to pair up with the street protest movement to keep the system off balance until the Tories are no more. It may take a decade, but that's how it has to be. The main objective, in the interim, is to bury Badenoch's party for good."
And unfortunately this
I don't trust the Tory party as it is full of liberals who piss their pants over anything even vaguely controversial
And I definitely agree that nothing really will change until something finally snaps
No point in Tories screaming about it they need to prove people wrong

Why are Democrats going after Elon Musk with everything they have? It's not because he's a billionaire in politics. They've been perfectly comfortable with billionaires in politics for decades. They're going after him because he's the first one playing against them.
Look at the numbers. Soros's Democracy PAC had put over $100 million into this midterm cycle before the summer was even over. Only a tiny fraction of it shows up under his own name. Then add the advocacy arm of his foundations, which doesn't have to disclose all of its political spending. And that's just the visible part. Over 40 years, tens of billions have gone into NGOs, universities, legal networks and media projects that shape what counts as an "acceptable" opinion.
That's the real game. Billionaires have been buying politicians for decades, on every side. But the smartest ones figured something out: you don't buy a candidate, you buy the ecosystem. Universities, foundations, newsrooms, NGOs, regulators, courts. Once you control who writes the reports, who trains the lawyers and who decides what counts as "misinformation", elections become a detail.
For 30 years that ecosystem leaned one way. Nobody called it oligarchy. They called it "civil society."
Then Musk showed up. He bought the main public square, took the filters off, and started spending in the open, under his own name. Yes, he's the biggest donor of these midterms. Everyone can see exactly how much he gave and to whom. That's the difference. One plays in daylight, the other plays through a maze of structures.
And suddenly, billionaire money in politics became a threat to democracy.
This isn't really about left versus right. It's about an ideology that captured these institutions and leads straight into a wall. More regulation, less building. More process, less progress. Countries shutting down working nuclear plants. A decade to approve a power line. A system whose default answer to any ambition is "no."
Musk is the opposite. Reusable rockets. Mass-market EVs. Satellite internet for the whole planet. Brain-computer interfaces. A serious plan to make humanity multiplanetary. You can hate his tweets. You can't deny that no one in the last 20 years has pushed the frontier of what humanity can build further than he has.
That's why they need to break him. Not because of his money. Because he proves the system can be bypassed.
If we leave the system as it is, we don't get a catastrophe. We get something worse: slow, comfortable stagnation. A civilization that manages its own decline instead of building its future.

🇺🇸 The Pentagon is preparing for a GLOBAL WAR that could cripple America's power grids, shut down supply chains, and leave U.S. military bases isolated for MONTHS.
The new plan, called FORTRESS, would require every major military base in the continental U.S. to survive at least 90 days without outside support.
The Pentagon is planning portable nuclear reactors, independent power grids, massive stockpiles of ammunition and fuel, and civilian factories ready to switch to weapons production.
They're even preparing for GPS failures, disrupted satellites, and simultaneous conflicts on multiple fronts.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell warned that America's old assumption that two oceans would protect it is now obsolete.
The Pentagon wants to be ready for a war that could disrupt essential infrastructure on American soil.

THE FOURTH TURNING ?
The Globalists Bankers traditionally operating out of The City of London..
Are like the archetypal Evil Villain in the Movies....
WORLD DOMINATION
That is their goal.
And Machiavellian tactics are deployed regularly. Pitting Countries against one another, people against one another...
Iranian leaders. (Ayatohals)
Israeli leaders. (Zionists)
AND
USA leaders. (Congress)
They have all... until very recently been Proxies for the Globalists.
Iran was the World Energy Controler via the Strait of Hormuz...
Israel was the Destabilizing Little Tough Guy...
(the Bully) in the Middle East.
And...
The United States of America was The Huge Henchman, The Muscle, The Enforcer......
RUSSIA & CHINA:
All countries have a Deepstate, a Corrupt inner core.
Including China and Russia.
The Chinese Deepstate
And
The Russian Deepstate
Were all controlled by the Globalists Bankers....
Just like the US Deepstate...
Their foot Soldiers are their Secret Service,
their intelligence Agencies; probably..
The Russian 'SVR'.
The Chinese 'MSS'.
Countries leaders are human. Vulnerable.
None are all powerful.
Almost ALL people are CORRUPTABLE.
'Touchable'
These Three letter agencies and the people working their are no different they are CORRUPTABLE. 'Touchable'
They act for, and on behalf of, their countries and leaders most of the time...
Until they dont.
Iran was a PROXY for the Globalists Bankers ...
Yes Iran has been helped by the Chinese Deepstate
And by the Russian Deepstate.
But with recent cooperation between the Leaders of The USA, China and Russia...
Trump Putin and Xi, are all up against their own deepstate...
Xi recently cleared out many Deepstate actors within his circle.
Trump recently started doing the same... clearing house.
Putin no doubt will be doing likewise.
The City of London Globalist Bankers are losing control of....
1. American Congress (via AIPAC)
2. Iranian Ayatohals.
3. Israel's Netanyahu...
4. United States CIA & FBI
5. China's MSS.
6. Russia's SVR.
Instead full control and Sovereignty is slowly returning to...
The United States of America 🇺🇸
Russia 🇷🇺
And China 🇨🇳
These three great powers are working together to defeat the Globalists...
So Sovereign Countries can once again take pride in their people and work together for peace and prosperity.
This is the beginning of the end of the WINTER in the #FourthTurning.

- the U.S. is preparing military for a 90-day blackout in event energy grid etc gets taken down. UK doing the same.
- AI rumoured to have found a zero day exploit in COBOL which underpins 50% of banking systems and ATMs.
- coordinated AI hacks still happening globally, japan hit the worst.
call it whatever you want but the odds of us experiencing a very precarious situation seem close.

Exclusive from @breeallegretti
Ministers have been secretly warned that some English reservoirs are at risk of running dry, hitting water supplies to homes in the run-up to Christmas
The government’s emergency committee, known as Cobra, is meeting up to twice a week to discuss the situation in the southwest of England and Sussex
A secret “reasonable worst-case scenario” was drawn up, anticipating that several reservoirs’ water stocks could fall to 0 per cent — dubbed “day zero” — within weeks
Officials warned that without action, supplies to some homes could be affected, along with disruption to the construction of a nuclear power station and operations at a prison
Wimbleball reservoir, which supplies more than 400,000 people in Somerset, has 13 per cent of its capacity, while Ardingly, which serves 280,000 customers across West Sussex, is at 17 per cent
Ministers battling to avoid reservoirs running dry by Christmas
