TURKEY VIOLATES EU AIRSPACE, PUTTING PASSENGERS AT RISK, EU LEADERSHIP SEES NO PROBLEM🚨

Turkish drones and military aircraft operating from the illegal aerodrome at Lefkoniko in occupied northern Cyprus continue to endanger civilian aviation over the Republic of Cyprus airspace.

Cyprus air traffic controllers have documented unauthorised Turkish airforce aircraft and UAVs operating almost constantly along critical routes and in close proximity to Larnaca and Paphos airports.
Four days ago, ATC had to intervene to stop a passenger Boeing 737’s descent after a Turkish military aircraft failed to respond to calls, deviated from its flight plan and climbed toward the same altitude, thankfully a near miss was averted only by rapid action.

If you think this is an isolated incident, it’s not, Cyprus has formally complained to the UN of hundreds of airspace violations in short periods, including by Bayraktar, Akinci, Anka and other combat drones as well as F16s, many linked to the militarised facilities in the occupied areas, including Lefkoniko.
If you remember well, Interference with radio communications has also targeted aircraft carrying EU defence ministers.
Although the international community, including the EU, recognises only the Republic of Cyprus and considers the occupation and these military uses illegal, Lefkoniko in occupied Cyprus has been developed as a Turkish drone base for years.

What is the EU’s response? Same as usual, examination of reports, statements of awareness, contact with Cypriot counterparts and then silence. No meaningful pressure, no consequences, no halt to the pattern.
Meanwhile, engagement with Turkey continues as if these risks to civilian lives and an EU member state’s sovereignty are secondary.

Thousands of passengers fly through the Nicosia FIR every day, controllers manage a recurring, deliberate operational problem created by an occupying power, EU leaders who speak of rules based order, aviation safety and solidarity with member states cannot keep looking the other way while Turkish military assets from occupied territory create these hazards.

Words of concern are not enough Mrs @vonderleyen, demand accountability, demand that Turkey cease unauthorised military activity in the Nicosia FIR and the illegal use of facilities such as Lefkoniko. Protect the safety of civil aviation and the sovereignty of an EU member state or admit that “European values” stop where Turkish interests begin.
The pattern is crystal clear, the danger is absolutely real and inaction is indefensible.

The left has been turning against Zionists because of a sense of justice & empathy with the Palestinians.

The right has been turning against Zionists because of their outrage noticing the insidious control of politics, education & mainstream media.

This is a slide from a recent presentation webinar I gave called "Crypto' Bro's are on Su1cide Watch" ...

I thought i'd share it with you.

You can scream at the screen and bash your keyboard / phone as much as you want.
I've closed comments.
I don't have to share these things with anyone.
I just can't be bothered engaging in a rage conversation with someone who turned $1,000 into $6,000 and they think they're part of someone technological altruist movement.

It's not trading.
Its not investing
It's totally g4y!

All the narratives have now disappeared.
The latest one is "The Infinite Money Machine" 😂
It will disappear too ...

Cheers 🍺

Trust me on this ...

When you're young, hustling, struggling, coming up, dreaming of making it big.., losers get A LOT of unecessary wasted airtime. They sound plausible, believable. They're just around a lot, because they just exist. Everywhere!

As you get older, wiser and wealthier, they run out of narratives. Their words become worthless. They are out of excuses.

One of the defining charctaristics of people that make it big, is recognizing a loser and knowing the right time to ditch a loser when they reveal themselves.

🚨 "The Israelis have no authority to operate inside Greek territory or Cypriot territory."
In John Kiriakou's First Exclusive Interview in Cyprus, he reacts to reports surrounding the recent Gaza flotilla incident and raises a broader question:

Who is really calling the shots in the Eastern Mediterranean?

As Greece, Cyprus, and Israel deepen their strategic partnership, Kiriakou warns that economic and security interests should never come at the expense of national sovereignty.

His verdict?

"If Greece and Cyprus are conceding that authority and allowing them to do it, then shame on them."

👇 Do small countries risk losing their sovereignty when security partnerships become too one-sided?

The @EFF is giving advice to minors (under 18) who identify as “Trans”.

“I’m a 17 year old trans woman,” said a confused teenage boy on Instagram, who the EFF began a discussion with related to his sexuality.

Worth remembering that the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) was founded for the purpose of educating law enforcement and politicians on computers and computer related topics.

Now they talk to kids, on Instagram, about their genitals.

There seems to be a lot of this happening online these days. People clipping videos and articles of traders then sensationalizing their stories for engagement.

Like when all legacy and online media earlier this year said that Michael Burry had opened a $1bln market short. He didn't, He bought a Put Option position with defined downside and implied $1bln exposure. If the Options went In The Money (if) he would have had $1bln of NOTIONAL exposure. The headlines worked for the media as it got tons of clicks and attention.

This week it's happened to me with my career background from 19-26 years ago. I'm 47 years old now and im seeing accounts guessing me career numbers from the early 2000's. Certain accounts are clipping our old YouTube videos and then attaching narratives and numbers to them about my early career as a Pro' Trader via X posts, in order to click farm, with assumptions and / or exaggerations attached in order to get attention.

All you have to do is look at my LinkedIn profile to realize that the claims of growing $25mln to $400mln reported as all Profit by these online accounts is not true.
https://t.co/joADI2DDYl
I've NEVER EVER in my life claimed anything like that.
This has all been made up by X accounts due to either genuinely misinterpreting what it actually means or intentionally misinterpreting the numbers and posting them for engagement. Obviosuly it's the latter.

The reference to $25mln and $400mln in my background (see LinkedIn) is the size of the Proprietary trading account capital limits (not P/L) that I was working on at the time. Meaning, the bank gives you and your team that amount directly to work with as a GROSS number, which is a limit of GROSS portfolio exposure i.e. $100mln.., and if you make say $20mln, then the next year they might give you more or they might not. But probably they're not going to give you less unless trading conditions are very tough and the bank is losing in other areas and they have to tighten risk across the board. Back then all traders at IBs ran 2x SEPERATE accounts. Market Making and Prop' - The GROSS exposure limits refer to the Prop' accounts limit.

So when you see $25mln, $100mln and $400mln this is referring to GROSS EXPOSURE limits intentionally put on that area of the trading desk i.e. the Sector team. So $100mln gross exposure limit, managed by 2x guys, one of which was me, was totally normal back then. That doesnt mean $25mln grew to $100mln, then to $400mln - it means that $100mln was the Gross Exposure limit of the Prop' book set by the banks risk commitee / management.

Watching a lot of people comment underneath these posts is especially entertaining and frankly it's gotten a bit ridiculous. The Retail guys replying, to be fair I wouldnt expect them to know the difference. Its obvious when they comment negatively that they haven't got a clue. But, saying that.., all they have to do to check is a few quick reference checks online, espcially on my LinkedIn and then figure it out. But they don't. Hey, thats Retail for you!

The real issue is not the clueless Retail guys. It's the disingenuous guys that try to pass themselves off as "Professional Traders" online to their Retail followers, when they have never worked a day in their life on the Professional side of the industry. They hate guys like me, because they could never and can never be me. They never made it. They've either always been Retail guys posing as Pro's and / or they worked at the lowest level of the industry at some point and even now, they are still too lazy and dumb to do the work. Guys like me just existing in the Retail Trader education space, makes these guys look and feel really stupid. This is why they hate us. So they are always overly keen to try and tarnish reputations like mine to their gullible Retail followers whenever they get a micro chance to do so. These guys comment under the posts that make fake claims and say things like "It's all BS. Anton is fake. It's a scam. I told you blah blah blah" - Like I wrote the post myself. Firstly I don't write the posts. Secondly, the numbers have been exagerrated by the poster and / or taken out of context for clicks and engagement. Third, your response itself only advertises you as somoene who either doesnt know or does know and is being disingenious. Either way it's just super low quality bottom feeder behaviour.

Why is this an issue? .., because these people have many Retail followers who actually believe that these guys are authority figures in the industry and knowledgable. They're not. They're disingenuous morons. Anyone who passes themselves off as a Trading coach / Pro Trader who see's these posts and then replies with attack comments on peoples careers and character without doing 2 minutes of checking anything is by definition just an absolute r3t4rd.

@51bodila and @NoLimitGains - I would appreciate it if you corrected the record and also @51bodila you have permission to stop guessing what my salary / compensation was each year in the early 2000's and / or randomly posting different numbers for A/B testing purposes to see which one gets you more clicks. The numbers you are posting are false and you know that. I would only be impressed by those numbers if they were monthly not annual. Thankyou for your co-operation in this matter.

[Lauren Southern @Lauren_Southern]

I challenge Tommy to a public debate on any platform of his choice. @piersmorgan or a more right leaning outlet. I don't care.

Let's haver a chat about his claims that I worked for Hope Not Hate - or that I made any sort of deal with them.

Then we can chat about my claims that he worked with the Tates.

He won't accept because he's lying, and terrified of me.

TURKEY STILL CANT GET OVER WHAT HAPPENED IN 1821🚨

Turkey’s ongoing provocations against Greece and Cyprus are escalating tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.
As NATO allies, Greece and Turkey share a long history of disputes but recent actions from Ankara have intensified concerns.
▪️Turkish military aircraft and UAVs repeatedly enter Greek airspace and infringe on the Athens FIR without flight plans. This year alone, dozens of such incidents were recorded in the Aegean.

▪️Turkey has challenged Greek sovereign rights through unlawful fishing in the Aegean.

▪️Turkey continues to contest the status of Greek Aegean islands, demanding demilitarization while protesting Greek defensive deployments.
🇹🇷rejects 🇬🇷 potential extension of territorial waters to 12 nautical miles, a right under UNCLOS and pushes expansive “Blue Homeland” claims that overlap Greek waters around islands like Lesbos and Crete.

▪️Tensions extend to EU member Cyprus with ongoing issues over energy exploration, airspace and territorial waters. Turkey’s threats of intervention and unilateral maritime assertions risk destabilizing energy projects and alliances involving Greece, Cyprus, Israel, France
and others.

A quick reminder to Turkey. Two centuries ago, Greece’s War of Independence ended centuries of Ottoman rule. Greeks played a key role holding the line for Europe against Ottoman expansion. Today, as NATO and EU members, Greece and Cyprus deserve respect for their sovereignty, not grey zone tactics, overflights or casus belli threats.

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

Up until a few years ago, we were able to browse the modern web, on a PowerPC “Classic” MacOS (MacOS 8/9) system, using a port of Firefox.

This is no longer possible.

Not because a G3, G4, or G5 systems running MacOS 9 are not beefy enough to handle the task (far from it)… but because of forced (deliberate) obsolescence by software developers.

In this case, Mozilla injected a new (*still* unfinished) programming language (Rust) into Firefox. And Rust doesn’t support PowerPC Macs.

Thus making a port of any version *after* the inclusion of Rust increasingly (and pointlessly) difficult.

Add on top of that the ever changing standards around HTTPS, which render browsers only a few years old… effectively unable to use the modern web. Anyone who has tried to use Netscape recently knows what I mean.

Again. Those changes are not because of CPU, RAM, or Operating System limitations.

Purely artificial, forced constraints.

This isn’t a problem unique to PPC Macs.

Similar problems exist with recent UNIX workstations, Windows 2000, and even Linux from only a FEW years back.

In some cases these forced constraints and limitations are simply a failure of developers. In other cases it is a deliberate choice… forced obsolescence.

Either way… it makes me grumpy.

A KDE Advisory Board Member (and Arch Linux Package Maintainer) has stated that XLibre (the Xorg fork) developers are fascists that cannot be tolerated.

This statement was in response to a question about packaging XLibre in the Arch Linux official repository.

Tomaz Canabrava: “about the tolerance paradox: if one project says that DEl is a discriminatory policy (like xlibre does), i the term facist applies. we cant tolerate the intolerant.”
