Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Using phrasing like "Iran-backed Houthi rebels" — but not "US-backed Zionist settlers" when describing Israel is the hallmark of a biased, imperialist rag.

Forget politics — just from a linguistic viewpoint, what a bloody mouthful. Who wants to read that nonsense?

Teilt diesen Tweet. Jetzt. Dringend.
Gegenhalten und die Bagger stoppen.
Es kursieren Falschmeldungen über Albanien – mit zehntausenden Likes und Retweets. Angeblich sollen die Bagger gestoppt worden sein. Angeblich soll das Projekt eingefroren sein. Angeblich soll Albanien gewonnen haben.

Das stimmt alles nicht. Das Projekt läuft. Die Bulldozer arbeiten weiter. Rama sagt öffentlich er werde das Projekt nicht stoppen.

Diese Falschmeldungen haben ein Ziel: Menschen davon abzuhalten zu den Protesten zu gehen – weil sie denken es hat sich erledigt. Es hat sich nicht erledigt.

Die Wahrheit: Die Flamingo-Revolution wächst. Täglich Proteste in Tirana. International: Berlin, London, New York, Toronto, Mailand. Weitere Aktionen in Brüssel, Bologna und New York am 15. Juni in Planung.
Helft den Albanern. Retweetet. Erzählt es weiter. Das ist unser Europa. 🇦🇱🇪🇺🇺🇸🦩
Lasst die Flamingorevolution trennen.

Diese Sensoren liegen auf denselben Routen wo seit dem Kalten Krieg russische und chinesische U-Boote überwacht werden.

Das SOSUS-Netzwerk – Amerikas wichtigstes U-Boot-Erkennungssystem – wurde seit den 1950ern als zivile Ozeanforschung getarnt. Die OOI-Sensoren lieferten dieselben akustischen Daten. Project 2025 – finanziert von der Heritage Foundation – hatte das Netzwerk explizit als „Quelle von Klimaalarmismus" bezeichnet und seine Abschaltung gefordert.

Russland baut sein eigenes Unterwasser-Sensornetzwerk gerade massiv aus. China auch. Amerika baut seines ab. Wer profitiert? Die Frage stellt sich.

[Anna @AnnaDeMilanese]

Die Konsequenzen sind real und weitreichend:
Wetter und Klima:
AMOC – der Atlantische Umwälzstrom – könnte zusammenbrechen. Ohne diese Sensoren merken wir es erst wenn es passiert. Das würde Europas Klima dramatisch verändern – kältere Winter, extremere Stürme.
El Niño:
Ohne Pazifik-Sensoren können Wissenschaftler El-Niño-Ereignisse nicht mehr rechtzeitig vorhersagen. El Niño verursacht Dürren in Asien und Afrika, Überschwemmungen in Amerika – Millionen Menschen sind betroffen.
Fischerei:
Fischer weltweit verlieren Daten über Meerestemperaturen und Strömungen – die bestimmen wo Fische sind.
Militär:
U-Boot-Erkennung und Unterwassernavigation basieren teilweise auf Ozeandaten. Kein Zufall dass Russland und China ihre Meeresüberwachung gerade ausbauen.
Das größte Problem:
Diese Daten sind unersetzbar. Wenn das Netzwerk weg ist fehlen Jahrzehnte an kontinuierlichen Messungen. Man kann nicht zurückgehen und nachmessen.

Trump lässt 900 Tiefseesensoren aus dem Atlantik und Pazifik herausziehen – ein 370-Millionen-Dollar-Netzwerk das seit 2016 läuft.
Es sollte 30 Jahre laufen. Es wird nach 10 Jahren gestoppt. Was diese Sensoren messen: Meerestemperaturen. Strömungen. Salzgehalt. CO₂-Aufnahme. El-Niño-Früherkennung. AMOC – den Atlantischen Umwälzstrom der Europas Wetter reguliert. Ozeanograph Ed Dever: „Es ist ein lähmender Informationsverlust."

Project 2025 hatte das Netzwerk explizit als Quelle von „Klimaalarmismus" bezeichnet und seine Abschaltung gefordert.
Der Kongress hatte die Finanzierung zweimal gerettet.
Die NSF zog es trotzdem durch. Die Folgen werden Jahrzehnte dauern. Daten die wir nie mehr bekommen werden. 1/2

Constitution requires two-thirds vote from the Senate to bind us to another country.

They hid it in the bill because they knew it was unconstitutional.

It’s treasonous as far as I’m concerned.

Every single person who voted for this needs removed from office.

[Philosophy Of Physics @PhilosophyOfPhy]

In 1880, a reclusive, self-taught telegraph operator with no university degree went to war with the greatest scientific minds in the British Empire.

He won, changed the mathematics of physics forever, and quietly built the foundation for the entire modern electrical grid.

Yet today, almost no one outside of electrical engineering and applied mathematics even knows his name.

His name was Oliver Heaviside.

The story of how he solved one of the hardest engineering problems in human history is a masterclass in why book smarts fail where deep, messy intuition succeeds.

In the late 19th century, the world was trying to lay massive underwater telegraph cables across the Atlantic Ocean. But they had a crippling problem: the signals kept distorting. You would type a message in London, and by the time it reached New York, it was a smeared, unreadable mess of electricity.

The top physicists of the day, using traditional university math, said the solution was simple: make the cables purer and reduce resistance. They spent millions of dollars trying to make the lines perfect.

It didn't work. The signals still broke.

Heaviside looked at the exact same problem from his messy, self-taught perspective and realized the elite academic establishment was blind.

They were treating an electrical wire like a water pipe. They thought the electricity was inside the copper.

Heaviside figured out that electricity doesn’t flow inside the wire; it flows in the electromagnetic field around the wire.

Then, he did something that made mainstream mathematicians furious. He invented a bizarre shortcut called operational calculus. Instead of spending weeks solving complex, multi-page differential equations to map these fields, he treated calculus like basic algebra.

To the professors at Cambridge, this was a sin. They called his math clumsy, unrigorous, and nonsense.

Heaviside didn't care. His famous response to them was: "Should I refuse my dinner because I do not fully understand the process of digestion?"

He used his illegal math to propose a mind-bending solution: to fix the distorted signal, engineers didn't need to make the cable cleaner. They needed to deliberately add more corruption to it. He suggested wrapping the cables in iron wire to introduce "inductance", intentionally fighting one distortion with another.

The establishment ignored him for years. But when AT&T finally tried his method, the results were instant. Long-distance communication was solved.
Heaviside wasn't trying to pass a math exam or impress a peer-review board. He wanted to solve a real-world problem.

In the process, he took James Clerk Maxwell’s famously complex 20 equations of electromagnetism and condensed them into the 4 beautiful formulas that every single physics student is forced to memorize today. Heaviside did the heavy lifting, but Maxwell got the name.

The lesson Heaviside left behind is a philosophical blueprint for navigating a complex world:
The people who memorize the proper formulas are excellent at solving textbook problems. But they are entirely dependent on the rules staying the same.

The people who understand the underlying system don't care about the rules. They break them to find what actually works.

Most of us approach our life's problems like the 19th-century British establishment. When something goes wrong in our career or relationships, we try to make our existing wire purer. We try harder at a broken method.

But sometimes, the problem isn't that you aren't trying hard enough. The problem is that you are looking inside the wire instead of looking at the field around it.

What is a distortion in your life right now that you keep trying to fix with the standard advice? What happens if you stop trying to follow the textbook formula and start looking at the hidden forces causing the noise?

@DaniMayakovski 10s of 1000s of sick and elderly Ukrainian and Russian Jews were denied entry to Palestine by Chaim Weizmann after WW1 because they weren't judged the desired human material needed to colonize it.

"Para que los judíos se fueran a Israel, los sionistas se disfrazaron de musulmanes y atacaron a mujeres judías, hicieron atentados terroristas contra judíos en sinagogas de Irak, Egipcio, Marruecos... para aterrorizarlos y que se fueran a buscar refugio a Israel".

Yakov Rabkin, profesor emérito de Historia en la Universidad de Montreal, denuncia el papel del sionismo contra los judíos para crear el apartheid de "Israel", como incluso los sionistas hicieron atentados terroristas contra los judíos (culpando a los musulmanes) para conseguir que se marcharan de sus paises.

Durante el genocidio nazi, los sionistas igualmente llegaron a acuerdos con Hitler para fomentar la expulsión de judíos de Alemania, siempre y cuando esos judios fuesen expulsados hacia Palestina.

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.

This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).

This means that the battle lines have been moved.

Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.

But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

"... but Brian, the US and Israel are MERGING ARMIES!!!"

NATO is already the merging/subordination of Europe's military power with America's - as is Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines in a de facto unnamed US-controlled "NATO" of Asia.

Why wouldn't the US also consolidate its proxies in the Middle East - especially Israel?

This is further evidence of precisely Israel's subordination and use by the US - not the other way around.

This is obvious when you zoom out - and an example of how dangerous it is to obsess over one region of a GLOBAL empire.

I have warned for years that the US is unable on its own to compete against China and the emerging multipolar world and would more aggressively exploit its proxies by co-opting their military and industrial power.

This began under Biden and is accelerating under Trump (continuity of agenda).

This is the result unfolding - as per the policy papers I am constantly citing and warning people about years in advance.

[Anna @AnnaDeMilanese]

Das ist kein Luxusresort. Sazan – die albanische Insel an der Straße von Otranto – ist das maritime Tor zwischen Adria und Mittelmeer.
3.600 atomsichere Bunker. 15 Kilometer Tunnel. Ehemalige sowjetische U-Boot-Anlegestellen.
Die Insel kontrolliert wer die Adria kontrolliert. Und wer kauft sie?
Kushners Affinity Partners – finanziert zu 99 Prozent von Saudi-Arabien, UAE und Katar.
157 Millionen Dollar Gebühren von ausländischen Staatsfonds.
Das bestätigt der US-Finanzausschuss unter Senator Wyden.

Und wer leitet das Team? Kein einziger Hotelmanager. Ausschließlich Ex-Geheimdienstler und Ex-Regierungsbeamte der Trump-Administration. General Miguel Correa – ehemaliger Direktor für Golfangelegenheiten im Nationalen Sicherheitsrat. Mitarchitekt der Abraham-Accords.
Kevin Hassett – ehemaliger Vorsitzender des Wirtschaftsberaterstabs im Weißen Haus.
Chad Mizelle – ehemaliger amtierender Chefsyndikus des Heimatschutzministeriums. John Rader – ehemaliger Nationaler Sicherheitsrat. Nick Butterfield – ehemaliger stellvertretender Koordinator für Politik im Weißen Haus.
Senator Wyden: Die Anwesenheit von General Correa „wirft Bedenken hinsichtlich der Emoluments-Klausel der Verfassung auf."
Das ist kein Resort. Das ist eine geopolitische Operation – finanziert von Golfstaaten – auf einer ehemaligen sowjetischen Militärbasis – im Herzen Europas. 🇦🇱🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺
