Dying for the Savior: The Human Cost of the Shia Mahdi Doctrine
The human heart has always ached for salvation.
"The human impulse to “force” the savior’s return, or to engineer the conditions for redemption, has shown up across religious traditions, often with disastrous results. [...]
This drive to force the end has devastated the lives of hundreds of millions of people."

Then the EU should discuss
the activities and status of the Swiss non-profit association IOC in the EU, before the official signing of the Bilaterals III package in Q1 2026 or before the ratification by the EU Parliament in autumn 2026. There can be a swift solution.

Rubio promotes encirclement theory
ENCIRCLEMENT THEORY says civilization is under siege and needs a strongman to crush enemies and override democracy.
DEMOCRACY spreads power, treats people as equals, and depends on inclusion and persuasion not fear, paranoia, and enforced loyalty.

"The applause in Munich appeared to reflect relief more than enthusiasm - relief that the temperature had lowered after months of strain, and that the language of alliance remained intact. But relief should not be confused with strategic reassurance." - Christina Vanberghen

👉Russia is losing
”...British and Ukrainian officials now speak of 6 to 1 or even 25 to 1 casualty ratios in Ukrainian favor, with platoons that step off with 30 men and limp back with five.”
”The gap between roughly 64,000 [🇷🇺] losses and 47,000 replacements is not a blip; it is about 25 percent.”

Rubio defends Trump’s political course but emphasizes the connection to Europe | MSC 2026 | BR24
YouTube video by BR24
I think Marco Rubio is trying 2 things at the #MSC2026
1. Pleasing his master, so that Rubio stays in power and can get more power in the future.
2. Pleasing potential future partners for the time Rubio becomes President.
I just wonder if this won't destroy him mentally.

Weaponizing twisted thinking to bind people in passivity. Add inescapable ideology to authoritarianism, to get totalitarianism. Then people FEEL like there is no alternative solution. That's how Russia/MAGA/Islamism works, preventing people from thinking better alternatives to "eternal madeup truth"

Brexit wasn’t a mistake…it was a scam. With More and More evidence of interference from Russia, Epstein and Bannon.
Making it the biggest con ever pulled on the British public.
But who got rich off it? Clue: It wasn’t you.

🇪🇺🇯🇵 This is Europe’s “Meiji moment.” Just as the 1868 reforms prevented Japan from becoming a colony and ultimately led to its 1905 victory over Russia, Europe must modernize while preserving its heritage to remain the Europe we love. Except, we need to be a lot faster.
