Congratulations to all Russia's friends on the successful test of the unlimited-range Burevestnik (Storm petrel) cruise missile with a nuclear engine and warhead ⚡️😃
🇪🇺 Telegram sent this message to all its users in France regarding Chat Control. People must know the names of those who try to steal their freedoms:
Today, the European Union nearly banned your right to privacy. It was set to vote on a law that would force apps to scan every private message, turning everyone’s phone into a spying tool.
France led the push for this authoritarian law. Both former and current Interior Ministers, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, supported it. Last March, they declared that police should see French citizens’ private messages. The Republicans and Macron’s Renaissance group voted for it.
Such measures are supposed to “fight crime”, but their real target is regular people. It wouldn’t stop criminals — they could just use VPNs or special websites to hide. Officials’ and police messages wouldn’t be scanned either, since the law conveniently exempts them from surveillance. Only YOU — ordinary citizens — would face the danger of your private messages and photos being compromised.
Today, we defended privacy: Germany’s sudden stand saved our rights. But freedoms are still threatened. While French leaders push for total access to private messages, the basic rights of French people — and all Europeans — remain in danger.
Au Togo on a pas l’électricité, pas d’eau courante, pas d’écoles, pas de routes, pas d’hôpitaux mais on en est déjà à l’informatique quantique ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #FreeTogo#FaureMustGo
Releasing Israel hostages and Palestinian prisoners is a good thing, of course, but it won't solve anything. Until a full-fledged Palestinian state is established in line with the well-known UN resolutions, nothing will change. The war will continue. Everyone understands this.
Here's my 4+ hour conversation with Pavel Durov (@durov), founder and CEO of Telegram. This was one of the most fascinating and powerful conversations I've ever had in my life.
We discuss everything from his philosophy on freedom to government bureaucracies, intelligence agencies, human nature, mathematics, encryption, great engineering & design, education, family, and his philosophy on life.
It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment). It is translated and dubbed into Russian, Ukrainian, French, and Hindi.

🇲🇩 About a year ago, while I was stuck in Paris, the French intelligence services reached out to me through an intermediary, asking me to help the Moldovan government censor certain Telegram channels ahead of the presidential elections in Moldova.
After reviewing the channels flagged by French (and Moldovan) authorities, we identified a few that clearly violated our rules and removed them. The intermediary then informed me that, in exchange for this cooperation, French intelligence would “say good things” about me to the judge who had ordered my arrest in August last year.
This was unacceptable on several levels. If the agency did in fact approach the judge — it constituted an attempt to interfere in the judicial process. If it did not, and merely claimed to have done so, then it was exploiting my legal situation in France to influence political developments in Eastern Europe — a pattern we have also observed in Romania 🇷🇴
Shortly thereafter, the Telegram team received a second list of so-called “problematic” Moldovan channels. Unlike the first, nearly all of these channels were legitimate and fully compliant with our rules. Their only commonality was that they voiced political positions disliked by the French and Moldovan governments.
We refused to act on this request.
Telegram is committed to freedom of speech and will not remove content for political reasons. I will continue to expose every attempt to pressure Telegram into censoring our platform. Stay tuned. 🤝
Devant une salle vide à l’ONU, le ministre togolais des Affaires étrangères a peint un Togo sorti d’un film de science-fiction : prospérité, paix, démocratie…
Dommage que ce soit de la fiction dystopique. Dans la vraie vie, les Togolais suffoquent sous la répression.
#FreeTogo
Cela fait des années que je prêche:
- le dégagement des bases militaires françaises. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- la sortie de la Cedeao. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- la reprise en main des ressources minières. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- la suspension/l’interdiction des partis politiques. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- l’enterrement de la démocratie baulienne. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- l’application décomplexée de la réciprocité. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- le rejet de la tutelle française à l’Onu. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- la montée en puissance de nos armées. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- l’éjection des ONG mercenaires et criminelles. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- l’interdiction des merdias de propagande et de désinformation français: Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso l’ont fait.
- la décolonisation de nos rues, de nos monuments, de nos programmes scolaires. Le Mali, le Niger et le Faso sont en train de le faire.
Après plus de 20 ans dans ce combat rude et violent pour l’émancipation de l’Afrique et la conquête d’une souveraineté durable, j’ai eu la grâce de pouvoir voir certains de mes rêves se concrétiser. Aujourd’hui, j’ai l’espoir que mes autres principaux plaidoyers vont aussi se réaliser de mon vivant, notamment:
- le retrait de la Cour pénale internationale.
- la création d’un état fédéral unitaire.
- la rupture avec le franc cfa et le lancement d’une monnaie unique pour cet état fédéral unitaire.
- la montée en puissance énergétique en combattant la dictature du climat.
Allez! Le travail continue sans relâche. Il faut avancer vite pour bénéficier de la fenêtre géopolitique opportune dans laquelle nous nous trouvons, mais qui ne durera pas éternellement.
RFK Jr.’s Senate testimony just BROKE the Internet.
“We were lied to about EVERYTHING.”
Kennedy spent 3 hours EXPOSING the TRUTH about vaccines and autism, the CDC’s coverup of vaccine injuries, and why Trump just FIRED corrupt CDC leadership.
And he named names—he called out corrupt Senators to their faces for taking Pharma money.
