...What this all potentially amounts to is the end of pluralism in the Levant and its replacement by supremacism. An ethno-supremacist Greater Israel and a religio-supremacist Salafist Greater Syria.
Unlike many readers, I have never been a fan of the Assad regime or blind to its human rights violations. But what it did undeniably do was maintain a pluralist state where the most amazing historical religious and community traditions – including Sunni (and many Sunni do support Assad), Shia, Alaouites, descendants of the first Christians, and speakers of Aramaic, the language of Jesus – were all able to co-exist.
The same is true of Lebanon.
What we are witnessing is the destruction of that and imposition of a Saudi-style rule. All the little cultural things that indicate pluralism – from Christmas trees to language classes to winemaking to women going unveiled – have just been destroyed in Aleppo and could be destroyed from Damascus to Beirut.
I do not pretend that there are not genuine liberal democrats among the opposition to Assad. But they have negligible military significance, and the idea that they would be influential in a new government is delusion.
In Israel, which pretended to be a pluralist state, the mask is off. The Muslim call to prayer has just been banned. Arab minority members of the Knesset have been suspended for criticising Netanyahu and genocide. More walls and gates are built every day, not just in unlawfully occupied territories but in the “state of Israel” itself, to enforce apartheid.
I confess I once had the impression that Hezbollah was itself a religio-supremacist organisation; the dress and style of its leadership look theocratic. Then I came here and visited places like Tyre, which has been under Hezbollah elected local government for decades, and found that swimwear and alcohol are allowed on the beach and the veil is optional, while there are completely unmolested Christian communities there.
I will never now see Gaza, but wonder if I might have been similarly surprised by Hamas rule.
It is the United States which is promoting the cause of religious extremism and of the end, all over the Middle East, of a societal pluralism similar to Western norms. That is of course a direct consequence of the United States being allied to both the two religio-supremacist centres of Israel and Saudi Arabia....
It's easy to mock this guy, laugh at him, say it's always Gingers etc.
However why are we not asking why, as a society, young men are making life choices like this?
Same as anyone who chooses to go against our natural order with how they live.
Something has gone badly wrong.
“Oregon is using satellites to hunt small farms.”
Farmer Justin Rhodes says the state redefined “CAFO” so even 3 cows and a milking stand count as a factory farm.
Cease-and-desist letters. $100K “upgrades.” Family farms shut down.

“The fetal bovine serum is just disgusting, and it’s in almost every viral vaccine. They harvest it by inserting a needle into the beating heart of a baby cow to extract its blood. Where is PETA when you need them? The FDA even admits they use ‘cow parts’ because cows are large and have a lot to use.”

👺 We Try to Interpret the Cover of the New “The Economist”, the Magazine of the Big Bosses! (Part 1)
On the evening of November 12, 2025, an epic event occurred in the world of media and conspiracy theories, which happens once every 365 days: The Economist magazine published yet another amazing cover, titled “The World Ahead 2026,” hinting at what the world will be like next year.
As we can see, there is a lot of fiction painted on the picture there, and conspiracy theorists on YouTube will be trying to interpret it for several months. Of course, nothing will come of what is symbolized there, but by the time “ The World Ahead 2027” comes out , everyone will have forgotten about it, and the conspiracy theorists will start trying to interpret it again.
However, some things in the picture are quite obvious and will definitely come true.
What are these things?
1) The cake with the number “250” which represents the inevitable 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of ...
EXCLUSIVE Report on the campaign against Drug Cartels.
Aquila has recently been speaking to a few officials involved in the fight against the drug cartels in the sphere of the southern command, and there seems to be a consensus among the military & political brass to carry out an extensive military op against senior drug cartel members
Primarily the military is suggesting kinetic strikes to cut off the head of multiple drug kingpins.
The US has already collected enough intelligence and is now preparing to present it to congress soon to garner congressional support for the general activation of the US military against these Drug establishments.
The US has now enough firepower in the Carribbean to carry out deep strikes against drug cartel members in various countries simultaneously.
The political brass is considering the threat from these Drug kingpins which are also designated FTO's as credible "direct threats" to the citizens of America which makes action against them important.

The phantom “civil war” will explain everything that happens next. Food shortages? “Supply chain disruptions due to unrest.” Rolling blackouts? “Cyberattacks from domestic extremists.” Bank freezes and travel bans? “Security measures.” Every new control will come wrapped in the same message: this is for your protection. And after years of fear, most people will accept it without a fight. They’ll even thank their rulers for keeping order.
This is the perfected PSYOP. Government doesn’t need to act like a tyrant—it just needs to pose as your shield against your neighbor. COVID turned every cough into a potential crime; this next stage will turn every differing opinion into one. You won’t fear the State—you’ll fear other citizens. And when that happens, the population polices itself.
The objective isn’t victory; it’s paralysis. Keep people scared, angry, and divided long enough, and they’ll beg for stability at any price. While they’re busy fighting ...
