Take any population on earth.
For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.
Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.
Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.
Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.
When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.
Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.
Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.
Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.
Put the results on a map.
Call the map a "nature documentary."
Tell yourself the scores show something biological.
Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.
Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.
You did not follow the evidence.
You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.
And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.
Iran's Football Teams Leaves a Beautiful and POwerful Message for Mexico as they Depart
Message:
To the noble people of Mexico and to the beautiful city of Tijuana, thank you!
You showed us that hosting a FIFA World Cup is about far more than stadiums and tickets. True hosting is about respect, humanity and dignity. We will never forget the kindness of the people of Tijuana. From this day forward, Mexico will always be more than host nation to us; it will be our second home and our second team. We leave this world cup with pride, but also with one fundamental question: "Did everything apply equally to all the teams in the tournament?"
What we experienced was a series of decisions, logistical arrangements, and circumstances that undermined the sense of fairness, an impression only reinforced by the events of the final matchday of our group.
Perhaps one day history will judge who genuinely welcomed Iran's presence at this world cup, and who would have preferred our journey to end much sooner.
For us, Fair Play is not a slogan printed on advertising boards; it is the very identity of football. Yet this tournament reminded us that there is still a significant distance between inspiring words and meaningful actions.
We leave Tijuana believing that football fans around the world witnessed not only the hardship endured by Iranian football, but also the resilience of a nation that refused to trade its dignity, honor, and values despite every challenge.
And we will never forget that those who celebrated Iran's elimination were the same people who had previously celebrated the suffering and loss of innocent Iranian lives. That alone reveals the difference in how humanity is understood.
World cups come to an end. Administrations change, but civilizations such as Iran, Egypt and Mexico, built upon truth, respect, and human dignity, endure through history.
Match results become part of football history. The honor of nations becomes part of human history.
With respect,
Iran National Team, IRI, Minab, 168, Hero
In 1879, a simple Egyptian peasant woman named Mubarka Khafaji from a village in Kafr El-Sheikh married a farmer, Ibrahim Atta, who worked for daily wages. Due to financial hardship, he divorced her even though she was in the final months of her pregnancy.
Mubarka moved with her mother and brother to Alexandria, where she gave birth to her son, Ali Ibrahim Atta. She made a firm decision to do everything possible to raise and educate him in the best way.
She had countless reasons to despair and grow bitter toward men, but she did not. She could have forced her son into child labor selling tissues at traffic lights, but instead she worked as a cheese seller in the streets of Alexandria to support him.
She enrolled her son Ali in the Ras El-Tin Primary School. After he completed primary education, his father came to take him away to make him work with only a basic certificate.
But Mubarka’s dreams were much greater. She secretly moved her son from the roof of her house to the neighboring roof and fled with him to Cairo, enrolling him in the Khedivial School in Darb El-Gamamiz. She worked for a family in order to fund his education.
Ali excelled in his studies and was admitted to medical school in 1897, graduating in 1901.
Fifteen years later, Sultan Hussein Kamel fell seriously ill, and doctors were unable to diagnose his condition. Dr. Othman Ghaleb suggested the name of Dr. Ali Ibrahim. He successfully performed a critical surgery, after which he was appointed as the Sultan’s chief surgical consultant and personal physician, receiving the title of "Bey."
In 1922, King Fouad I granted him the title of "Pasha."
In 1929, Dr. Ali Pasha Ibrahim became the first Egyptian dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Fouad I University (Cairo University). He later became the university’s president.
In 1940, he was appointed Minister of Health. In the same year, he founded the Egyptian Medical Syndicate and became its first president. He also served as a member of the Egyptian Parliament.
His mother was: An uneducated, rural, divorced peasant woman.
Yet she raised a son who changed history.
The reform of any society begins with a mother.
Salute to every mother who is a true school of life.
Guess who is opposing Dangote’s proposal to build a 1.2M barrels a day refinery in east Africa (Tanzania, Kenya and Congo)
World Bank and IMF. : )))
Their argument? it would give monopoly to one company over energy.
1) All the while, French refineries are in almost every oil producing countries in Africa.
2) No African countries could get a loan to build a refinery larger than 400,000 barrels per day (one of the most profitable businesses ever). So the majority are small and struggle for profitability.
3) Nigeria oil had to be exported to Europe, refined and in many cases sold back to Nigeria and ECOWAS countries, under companies like shell and total.
4) it took until a billionaire financed the refinery in Nigeria himself to change part of that production and supply pipeline. And today, after the Hormuz blockade, EU countries are now buying oil from Dangote.
Sais-tu pourquoi toutes les guerres portent le nom du pays attaqué ?
– Guerre du Vietnam
– Guerre de Corée
– Guerre d’Irak
– Guerre d’Iran…
Parce que si elles portaient le nom du pays agresseur, elles s’appelleraient toutes la Guerre des États-Unis !
A NEW DAY IS DAWNING AND A NEW WORLD ORDER HAS EMERGED.
Iran has surfaced as a legitimate world power. Many countries around the world are secretly negotiating deals with Iran behind Donald Trump’s back.
When the sand clears, US will be isolated from almost every major country except Israel. With friends like Israel who needs enemies?
We may have lost our financial dominance of our Petrodollar. Our tourism industry is devastated including the billions cities were expecting to make from the World Cup. Atlanta alone loses one billion.
We’ve lost trillions of dollars of military equipment, assets, radar, defense systems, and 13 military bases. Gulf states have been canceling security, defense, and weapons contracts with the US. And signing new deals with Europe and China.
Donald Trump has done a what he does best, —bankruptcies. America, according to the US treasury department is officially insolvent. Only took MAGA 15 months.
MAGA will go down in history as the biggest LOSER in American history.
Iran has taken the gloves off. Trump gave Iran a 5-day extension on bombing their power plants.
Netanyahu didn’t get the memo, last night he attacked 2 of Iran’s power facilities.
Now, Kuwait is in total darkness. ISREAL lost their Haifa power plant and oil storage facilities.
In less than a month, Trump not only lost the war but also all the military bases, radars, ships, planes, the Strait of Hormuz, NATO allies, GGC partners, Americans’ real estate investments in Dubai, US banks, data centers, and oil companies’ assets, as well as America’s trust, prestige, reputation, status and global dominance with the Petrodollar.
We committed war crimes killing 160 elementary-aged school girls. Then we fired a second Tomahawk missile at the school when parents and teachers responded to help.
We lost our ability to sell US bonds. We shown that we can’t protect the Gulf States so, they will probably divest from US IT companies who were helping us in the AI race with China.
We removed the sanctions on Russia and Iran. Russia is punishing Europe with exorbitant prices. We’ve caused a historic global energy crisis and possibly a worldwide recession.
But Netanyahu has lost THE STATE OF ISRAEL. It is quickly becoming uninhabitable. Those leaving will never return. No water, sewer, power, jobs, bunkers, shelters, missile defense systems, airport, fuel, or food.
Bibi has warrants in over 120 countries for war crimes for his attempted genocide in GAZA.
It’s amazing how fast the world has turned upside down.

Je suis vieux, mon corps ne vaut rien, je m'assois sur une chaise et je regarde cette révolution, si Israël pense qu'ils vont gagner s'ils me tuent, c'est leur erreur, cette révolution est dirigée par la jeunesse iranienne et ils resteront invaincus, même s'ils me tuent, l'Iran ne sera pas blessé, l'Iran est basé sur la morale, l'Iran ne sera l'esclave de personne dans le monde !
