Elections, corruption, inflation, protests, a government decision you think is wrong. What is happening in your country or the world, and what you make of it.

@Eberechi10 News & politics

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched an inquiry investigating how "Nexus," a site on the dark web, obtained scans of physical credentials belonging to an estimated 170 million people in the US and Canada, including over 153 million driver’s licenses, over 10 million identification cards, over 1.9 million travel documents, over 1.3 million international IDs, more than half a million medical cards, and millions of other official documents. Brian Krebs first…

The district police have taken an exceptional initiative to detect any crime instantly, be it theft, robbery or eve-teasing. CCTV cameras equipped with artificial intelligence or 'AI' technology have been installed at important intersections starting from the alleys of the city. The scenes captured by these cameras are being monitored directly from the district police control room. Whenever a criminal is seen anywhere in the city, artificial intelligence instantly identifies…

An ID verification company is suspected of being responsible for a data breach involving 153 million identity cards that were put up for sale to criminals! The cache includes drivers licenses, travel documents, medical cards, and other government IDs. Companies are storing private identity documents which are being hacked by criminals. We need better privacy rights. https://matthewrosenquist.substack.com/p/153-million-reasons-to-rethink-identity

I will not get overly political as I am not on any "side" but just want to remind anyone that didnt go to school. its lake Ontario. not lake big mac of whatever the hell. Canada is NOT part of the US nor ever will be. short of a very bloody fight. and the US dictator does NOT have the power to rename parts of the world as he wishes. he does have the delusion to do so. and a nation broken enough to allow it however. I would advise the world to understand the US has entered…

What is democracy? Freedom and Independence? What else? Has the definition of democracy changed with time? For me, democracy is the freedom of speech. Democracy means the citizens have the right to vote and select who forms the government. Democracy means an abundance of work and jobs to make a livelihood for everyone. Democracy means punishment for criminals. Democracy rewards good deeds of good citizens. In a democracy, all living beings are treated well. Please write your…

In current US news (which they try hard not to get reported to the people), Sec'y of War Pete Hegseth, following the advice of his “spiritual advisor”, is trying to indoctrinate or force “Christian nationalist concepts” on ALL US troops, saying that America is fighting a Holy War. Uh huh. In other news, US soldiers are literally trying to jump off the ship into the water because the “living conditions” are so bad. The first time I heard a report about a soldier falling…

Aug 12, 2026: The political news in the USA is typical. A Republican guy ran for governor and LOST! He lost the “primary election”. If you lose, you don't even make it to the general election. Now he won't accept defeat. EVEN THOUGH THE ELECTION RESULTS ARE CLEAR!!! He's probably the “test case”. I'm pretty sure Trump supporters and his fellow Republicans who are in a panic about losing elections PLAN on doing this all around the country. If you are not in the USA, does your…

5PM to 6PM in my house is the unofficial official NEWS HOUR. 1st I watch the local news and then the world news. On our local news, some criminals are being brought to justice. That gives me hope. Would you believe one guy's defense for his crime was that “he was Jesus Christ”????????? Do you hear weird things like that when you watch the news? 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Somalia’s Role in Africa Introduction Somalia is one of the most strategically located countries in Africa. While many people focus on the challenges facing the nation, Somalia also possesses opportunities that could strengthen not only its own economy but also contribute to Africa's development. Understanding Somalia’s role in Africa helps us appreciate its potential and future importance. 1. Strategic Location Somalia sits along major international shipping routes…

Surveillance and exclusion: The dangers of the state monopoly on identity The state’s monopoly on identity excludes vulnerable people from jobs, housing, healthcare and more. This article originally began as a response to The Reboot’s article, which discusses the dangers of perpetual tracking by Google, Facebook and Microsoft. [1] While the tracking by Google, Facebook and Microsoft is certainly disturbing and can put people in danger, the state’s data economy is even worse,…

The Endless Ladder: Why Global Inequality Breeds Global Conflict ## The Endless Ladder: Why Global Inequality Breeds Global Conflict The world today is defined by a widening chasm between the "haves" and the "have-nots." Just as there are individuals who possess immense wealth while others struggle for a single meal, our global landscape is divided into rich and poor nations. This imbalance is not a mere economic statistic; it is the primary engine behind the wars and…

Yes, Statism Makes Supernatural Claims The concept of "the State" is inherently tied to blind faith & religiosity Statism — this zealous faith in threat-based, centralised government, or “the state” — is, quite literally, a religious cult. Statists attribute god-like properties to the state, and this is not figurative. And thus, the separation of church and state can never truly occur — it can only be a deceptive rebrand; just like the priestly class — the “interpreters of…

The COVID Scam in a Nutshell: Pseudoscientific scientism still goes unopposed and unpunished It’s been four years since the COVID false narrative was quietly swept under the rug as if it weren’t a total pseudoscientific scam and an atrocity against human dignity. Oh? You still take the COVID narrative seriously as if it were fact? You still use the vapid “conspiracy theorist” slur and other shaming tactics to shut down legitimate, reasonable criticism, since you can’t…

Bargaining is underway in middle East. In a room at Islamabad’s Serena Hotel, a triangular table had been set. Three sides, three chairs, three flags. On one side the United States, on another Iran, and on the third Pakistan. This table had been personally inspected by Field Marshal Asim Munir ,for a historic signing. A signature that, after two months of war, a blockade, and a fragile global market, would place Islamabad on the world map the way Oslo, Camp David, or Dayton…

The Labour Day Lie - 1st of May: Socialist/statist gaslighting that forges the chains of slavery Every 1st of May, you’ll hear some socialist tool squeal with deluded entitlement: “You owe us for your 8-hour workday!” And the right-wing isn’t any better. Hear me out. “I know there’s no free lunch.

Introduction For nearly half a century, over $100 billion of Iranian wealth has remained frozen in a complex web of global sanctions, a legacy of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

It doesnt matter who becomes president because by the time they get to that position they become compromised, either by their donors, or the people behind the scenes (thru blkm@le)

@thesotiris News & politics

Socialism is Stupid. Seriously. A deceptive rebrand of totalitarianism Remember when British Petroleum changed its logo to a green leaf after a catastrophic oil spill they caused? This is what “democratic” socialism is: PR damage control, a rebrand of failed statism, feeding us false hope that “it’ll work this time!”; false hope and misplaced belief that keep the state sustainable. This is why you must shed all false hope in false idols if you value freedom.…

The World on a Plane with a Bomb: The Risk of Forced Nuclear Escalation The world is currently in a high-stakes standoff that can be explained with a chilling metaphor: ​"Imagine the world is an airplane mid-flight. Inside, a passenger is clutching a live bomb. Outside forces are trying to wrestle the bomb away from him by force while the plane is still in the air." ​This is the reality of the U.S.-Iran conflict and the looming nuclear shadow. ​1. The "Bomb" (Nuclear…

The Engineering of Diplomacy: Why Arab Nations Choose Strategic Silence Over Conflict In structural engineering, we are taught that rigidity is often a weakness. In earthquake-prone zones, the most resilient skyscrapers are not those that stand stiff against the tremor, but those designed with "Base Isolation" and "Damping Systems." They absorb the energy of the shock rather than fighting it head-on. ​As I observe the escalating tensions in the Middle East—specifically the…

Middle East conflict - What's up. The Middle East stands at a fragile crossroads, where overlapping conflicts, energy politics, and global power rivalries are shaping an uncertain future. From the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz to rising fuel prices in countries like Pakistan, the ripple effects of instability are being felt far beyond the region. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical energy arteries, with nearly a fifth of global oil…

Your city just handed you a freedom you didn't know you lost. New York's new law mandates all businesses accept cash. Sounds simple. It's actually a rebellion against financial surveillance. Every digital transaction is tracked. Profiled. Monetized. Cash? Anonymous. Untraceable. Yours. When businesses went "digital-only," they didn't just refuse a payment method—they forced you into a surveillance economy. No choice. No privacy. Just data feeding algorithms that build a…

Politics, Power, and the Struggle for Democracy in Pakistan. In many poor or post colonial countries, politics rarely functions as a pure democratic exercise. Instead, it often becomes a battlefield of cartels, vested interests, and revenge based policies. Pakistan is no exception. The repeated cycles of political instability, selective accountability, and weakened public trust point toward a deeper structural problem. One that extends beyond individual politicians or…

Is peace finally approaching in Gaza? A few days ago, the USA announced that Tony Blair, Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner will form the Gaza Executive Board. They complete a list that already included Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management; Roberto Gabriel, advisor to Trump; and Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank. This would be the first step in the transition from the first to the second phase of the fragile truce brokered in Gaza. More details here…
