Islamists are literally beheading Christians in Nigeria..
I wonder why the activists who care so much about innocent people dying rarely talk about this..

China's stock market is in a free fall, and the CCP is pumping money in to try and stop it.
The countries equity markets have lost 3.5 trillion and the primary index has lost 20% of its value since June.
Consumption has collapsed in the country and corporate earnings are down, causing the stock crash.

There it is, ladies and gentlemen. The Economist has finally published a graph on migrant crime levels. I’m sure the usual suspects will be absolutely furious to discover that the data has once again refused to cooperate with their preferred narrative.

Als u zich afvraagt wat voor 'asielzoekers' @MinisterAenM willens en wetens in Nederland opvangt? Onderstaande video geeft een goede indruk wat voor gespuis wij binnenhalen, met zo'n 1000 per week. Lekker gewerkt Bart!

WOEST word ik, wanneer ik dit hoor en zie. Je kan mij NIET wijsmaken dat Nederlanders dit accepteren en om deze ‘mensen’ te helpen, op partijen stemmen die de deuren van ons land wagenwijd open zetten?! Het kan gewoon niet, het is ONMOGELIJK dat dit is, waar de meerderheid voor kiest. ONVERTEERBAAR & onbegrijpelijk!

Since Monday, guards at every gate of Kadena Air Base on Okinawa have been turning away anything built by BYD. Private cars, contractor vans, taxis, delivery trucks. No exceptions.
The base calls the Chinese cars an unacceptable risk to its people and its mission. Think about what a BYD Sealion 7, sold in Japan, does on its own: cameras around the body stream a live 360-degree view of everything nearby. Now park it beside a flight line where F-22s and RC-135 spy planes operate. The car is the sensor.
In June the Pentagon put BYD on its list of 188 Chinese military companies, a label BYD rejects.
What I keep coming back to is that Tokyo has been building the same wall all year. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told parliament last November that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could be a survival-threatening situation for Japan. Beijing retaliated in January by banning dual-use exports to Japan's military. Tokyo called it absolutely unacceptable and refused to retract a word. In April it moved to restrict local-government tech purchases to state-certified products, which in practice shuts out Chinese vendors. Last week Nikkei reported a new security certification for data centers and cloud services, widely read as aimed at Chinese providers.
Beijing keeps trying to punish Japan for saying out loud what Taiwan means to its survival, and Japan keeps answering by closing doors.
BYD has been opening more showrooms in rural Japan, where trains and buses are thin. As of this week, none of those cars gets past Kadena's gates.

⚠️ Wake up, Europe! Urgent Expert Warning: “Any cooperation with Beijing means that Europe will be subject to economic plunder by the CCP and the weaponization of sovereign loans. In the long run, an alliance with the CCP will only accelerate the speed of Europe’s economic decline.”
Two leading experts — Robert Benson (Deputy Director for National Security & International Policy at the Center for American Progress) and Eduardo Castellet Nogués (Non-resident Researcher at TRENDS Research & Advisory) — have issued this blunt alert.
Beijing does not see Europe as an equal partner. Closer ties = exploitation, not partnership.
Concrete dangers already happening:
• Chinese overcapacity dumping (BYD EVs crushing Germany’s auto sector, threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs and once-prosperous regions)
• Strategic port control: COSCO taking 67% of Greece’s critical Piraeus Port + 24.99% of Germany’s Hamburg Port
• Sensitive data grab: Spain greenlighting BYD buses in public transport, giving CCP priority access to transportation data
• Retaliation playbook: Rare-earth bans on Japan (2010), Lithuania (2023), and threats to the U.S. (2025)
Europe is sleepwalking into dependence while naively hoping Beijing will help end the Russia-Ukraine war (it’s actually propping up Moscow).
Wake up, Europe.
Stop undermining the existing order. Distance from the CCP now. Diversify aggressively to India, Southeast Asia, the Global South, and trusted allies. Enforce anti-dumping measures, secure critical raw materials, and protect your sovereignty, jobs, and future.
Your competitiveness depends on strategic discipline — not a “doomed-to-collapse” bridge with Beijing.

Volvo Cars aktie ned med 83 procent sedan börsnoteringen 2021, då det talades om en ny svensk "folkaktie" och tunga fonder köpte in sig.
Men Volvo Cars var redan då ett kinesiskt företag, med en politisk risk som jag varnade för samma år i denna artikel⤵️

Het failliet van onze samenleving, verpakt als iets positiefs. Fietsbuddy's en awareness teams zijn geen vooruitgang, maar de illustratie van hoe vrouwen jaren terug in de tijd worden geworpen. Na zonsondergang kunnen we niet meer naar buiten zonder begeleiding, omdat we dan geen mensen meer zijn, maar loslopend wild. Prooien die, als zij per ongeluk losraken van de kudde, met huid en haar verzwolgen worden door de roofdieren die er, ondanks de zorgvuldig gesnoeide en verlichte bosjes, rondsluipen. Toen ik als jonge vrouw in Amsterdam woonde en daar uitging fietste ik zonder problemen midden in de nacht alleen naar de pont. Zou het in het oh zo objectieve en pluriforme epos over Femke Halsema dat binnenkort uitkomt ook gaan over deze cultuurverandering? Want het is toch wel oppvallend: terwijl mijn vriendinnen en ik in het donker door de stad fietsen waakten verschillende burgervaders over ons. Nu, onder het toeziend oog van Halsema hebben de meisjes een buddy nodig om nog veilig thuis te komen. Maar ja hoor, het is een 'mannenprobleem'.

🚨 Today, October 25, 2026, young South Koreans are marching outside Samsan Gymnasium Station in Incheon, South Korea, against the Chinese Communist Party and communism, and demanding that Lee Jae-myung's election be declared invalid.
Their giant flag reads, "Resume Lee Jae-myung's trials!" and "Resume the trials of a four-time convicted criminal!"
Lee Jae-myung has multiple criminal convictions and should be standing trial on several charges, including illegal cash transfers to North Korea. But through his dictatorship, he has put his own trials on hold.

North Korea deployed 60km-range Self-Propelled Guns just 1.5km from Gimpo—putting Seoul and Incheon in direct range.
In recent months, they buried 960,000 landmines and pushed past the MDL line, injuring our soldiers in landmine explosions. Now, their self-propelled artillery sits right in front of us.
Yet, the left-wing, seditious Lee Jae-myung administration stays silent and sucks up to Pyongyang.
When former President Yoon took a strong stance against North Korea by sending reconnaissance drones in response to over 6,000 North Korean trash balloons, they framed him for provoking war and breaking peace—and sentenced him to 30 years in prison for treason.

The Chinese government is running operations to 'collect' technology from Universities around the world. All of this information is then given to Chinese corporations as a subsidy by the CCP
An authoritarian state has finally found a way to innovate new technology, steal it
China uses Confucius Institutes at US Universities to steal technology and brainwash students. They are now being targeted as national security threats.
Many were supposedly shut down years ago, but in reality, they were just renamed. Trying to stop Chinese espionage is like a giant game of "Whack a Mole".

We have cancelled our X subscription for the following main reasons:
First and foremost, we cannot contribute to an organization that apparently places the interests of an adversary above those of the United States.
Second, despite assurances that a paid subscription would extend reach, it appears we've experienced systematic deboosting over the past few months in favor of the platform's political preferences, conduct that violates its own terms of service.

Il affirme que la police française est comme l’armée israélienne. Rien de tout cela n’a de sens. Enfin, si, lorsque l’on sait que cet émeutier est Yazan Majdal Abu Sammour, un islamiste palestinien qui soutient le Hamas, tandis que des médias comme Al Jazeera vous ont présenté cela comme une « manifestation étudiante ». Par ailleurs, les médias ne vous diront pas la vérité : les Frères musulmans ont bel et bien dirigé bon nombre des émeutes et des pillages soigneusement organisés en France et ont menacé de tuer des Français. Oui, la France leur a tout donné : la citoyenneté, la sécurité, les soins de santé et un foyer. En retour, ils ont apporté leur propagande islamiste toxique et se sont battus contre la civilisation française.

Speaker of the Finnish Parliament:
Russia is responsible for this war.
Russia can end this war at any moment by simply ceasing hostilities. The fact that it continues shows that Russia does not want peace.
Vladimir Putin seeks to go down in history as "Vladimir the Conqueror," the man who would restore the greatness of the Russian Empire.

Heute ist der erste Tag seit Jahrhunderten, an dem Soldaten in Europa unsere Kirchen, unser christliches Erbe vor den Horden des Islamismus schützen müssen. Das waren Angela Merkel und die zerstörerische EU-Ideologie der offenen Grenzen.
