#TrumpsWar against #Iran has depleted #US weapons stockpiles to troubling levels, siphoning supplies from Asia & Europe…
The rapidly shrinking supply of air-defense missiles & other critical weaponry in Europe & Asia not only leaves the US #military less equipped, but could also leave #Russia & #China feeling emboldened should they contemplate a conflict with the US, experts said.

What i find very worrying is the very real chance that de AfD may be winning the next elections in Germany. It would be the comeback of fascism and nazism. There are no other words to describe it. It would severely weaken the EU at a minimum, destabilize europe. I know some state actors who would consider that a good outcome and will do everything to make that happen.

More than 23 km (14 mi) have been constructed in recent months, running through Palestinian communities demolished by the military.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, what the f*ck is going on?" A Russian woman asks.
She's been standing in lines for three days to get fuel - without success.
First, it was "Kyiv in three days," now it's "fill your fuel tank in three days".

"Our patience is not unlimited", "time is not on Moscow's side": Ukraine may reconsider a ceasefire proposal with Russia
Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN, Andrey Melnik, stated at a Security Council meeting that Kyiv may reconsider its ceasefire proposal if the UN does not adopt a resolution calling for a complete and unconditional cessation of hostilities.

The "Tech for Good" narrative is dead. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Oracle, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and SpaceX are now deeply integrated into the Pentagon's classified IL6/IL7 networks. This isn't civilian innovation; it is kinetic automation. The boundary between data and targeting is gone. Privacy is a myth, and "data sovereignty" is a cover for forced integration into a new industrial-algorithmic complex. Follow the contracts, not the marketing.

Brian Mulroney vs. Apartheid
In the 1980s, Canadian PM Brian Mulroney took a firm, and often lonely, stand against apartheid in South Africa. He used the Commonwealth to push for strong sanctions, frequently clashing with allies like Margaret Thatcher. His moral leadership helped isolate the apartheid regime and was personally acknowledged by Nelson Mandela after his release. #Canada #Apartheid #Geopolitics #BrianMulroney 🇨🇦
ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX NOW!
This is the most important letter I have ever penned to a public official. My message is that the income tax on worker wages is a insidious form of slavery that must be abolished. This is not a Democrat issue or a Republican issue. This is an issue of real justice for a nation of impoverished workers being taxed with a gratuitous and unnecessary income tax that has steadily lowered personal wealth and autonomy for several generations.
ABOLISH THE INCOME TAX NOW!
ABOLISH: verb; To do away with; put an end to; annul; to eradicate; to destroy completely; make void.
Notice that ABOLISH does not mean:
cut ; lessen ; lower.
It means to completely get rid of, en toto, entirely, as in ABOLISH SLAVERY.
So give no place to word games, Honorable Sir or Madame. Just. ABOLISH. INCOME. TAX. NOW.
Recently President Trump has vowed to push for the abolition of the income tax on American worker wages and replace the revenue streams with a tariff system. I require you get behind Mr. Trump, despite his warts and pimples and dimples and whatever character issues or political peeves and quibbles you might have with him--and move full steam ahead to draft, approve, legislate, and enter into law a bill abolishing the federal personal income tax on all domestic wages for all United States Citizens.
The income tax is a relic of feudal barbarism and imperialist war-making barbarism. It enriches a internationalist political class which is able to suck grants and subsidies from its piggly teat while disbursing tiny squirts and crumbs to the American people and their infrastructure. As an American, I have had enough of this thievery of my wages for funding every grimy and useless rent seeker under the sun.
Millions of Americans don't want to hear whiny excuses about how the Federal Government can't function without the Federal Income Tax. That is nonsense. America functioned for several generations during her greatest period of industrial and economic growth and power without an income tax. Then when the World Wars were ramping up we were saddled with this 'war tax' on our income to fund the war. Since then the taxes have kept us impoverished while making the war machine and grifter classes very rich. Workers' standard of living has steadily declined since the income tax was introduced and illegally retained after the World War about a hundred years ago.
I require that you push for, and vote yes on a COMPLETE AND TOTAL ABOLITION of the income tax for all employee wages, and ensure no new taxes are ever again levied on employee wages. If FedGov can print trillions of dollars to fund overseas adventures and endless wars, then FedGov doesn't need to be taxing us for anything. FedGov already taxes us through inflation anyway. Why the hell should any of us have to fill out a return? Maybe FedGov should file a return to us each year to show how much of our labor inflation has stolen from us.
If you don't work strenuously toward abolishing the federal income tax I will vote for whoever decides to run against you. If the federal income tax is abolished, I will vote for your re-election.
ABOLISH INCOME TAX NOW!
Very truly yours in freedom and liberation from tax serfdom,
John Doe American
