I AM The Entire Ocean In A Drop!

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

I was born in southern Lebanon and have lived there my entire life—for more than 35 years—I was born in wars, lived through wars, and worked in their midst of these wars in relief and diplomacy.

Arresting Netanyahu is not the be-all, end-all. The problem is Israel. I have lived through 8 different Israeli Prime Ministers and different extremist government; while Netanyahu's right wing extremist government is the most horrendous, but they are all cut from the same cloth.

Promoting the blame on Netanyahu for the genocide and ecocide in Lebanon is misleading. The reality is, Netanyahu is not the disease, he is a symptom of it.

The same things were said when Shimon Peres committed massacres in Lebanon in 1996—most horrific the Qana Massacre, when Israel bombed a United Nations center sheltering around 800 displaced Lebanese civilians.

The same was said when Ehud Barak, Ehud Olmert, and Ariel Sharon committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Lebanon. Now, the same is being said about Netanyahu.

If Netanyahu were arrested and removed today, would Israel suddenly stop being so problematic and a threat to world peace? No!

The problem is not Netanyahu alone; it is Israel as a whole. It is not the fault of one war criminal leader or a specific warmongering political party. It is the system. Israel kills children as a hobby. This violent Israeli culture and mentality is not new. The Israel we see today is a byproduct of nearly 80 years of dehumanization and normalized violence against people in the Middle East.

Israel has killed nearly 100,000 people—including 25,000 children—in 1,000 days in Middle East. That means Israel killed about 100 people every day for 1,000 days with complete impunity. They believe that Israelis must inflict violence on others in order to survive and thrive themselves.

Israel does not want peace, Israel wants Palestine, a piece of Lebanon, and a piece of Syria—until now...

Peace through strength is not peace. Peace through mutual respect is. Peace without justice is an illusion. And diplomacy can be made only with countries that respect international law.

It's extraordinary that Israel can go on a mass murder and steal land from three neighboring countries simultaneously while you will look us dead in the eye and say Israel wants peace.

We know who the enemy of peace is. it has a name, it is Israel.

1979: fasting glucose over 140 makes you diabetic.
1997: lowered to 126.
Millions of new diabetics. Same blood.

1997: prediabetes starts at 110.
2003: lowered to 100.
A third of American adults, created by a footnote.

1984: high blood pressure is 160/95.
2017: lowered to 130/80.
American hypertension goes from 32 per cent of adults to 46. Thirty-one million new patients in a morning.

2001: the cholesterol target is 130.
2004: lowered to 100, and to 70 for the high risk.
Statin eligibility expands by millions.

Eight of the nine men who wrote that 2004 update were on the payroll of companies selling statins. They disclosed it only when forced.

1994: a WHO panel invents osteopenia. Bone that is not thin enough to break, given a name and a prescription. Half of older women qualify.

Nobody got sicker on any of those dates. A committee sat down and a number moved.

The threshold drops, the market widens, and the drug is already licensed and sitting in the warehouse.

Your grandfather was healthy at 145/92. You are ill at 132/81.

Nothing about the body has changed. Only the paperwork, and who profits from it.

Saw that Okwuluora Kidney failure video in Enugu and I just thought;

1) Beans - Sniper or dangote cement.
2) Palm oil - Red dye + water.
3) Fried Plantain chips - Either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil + nylon to make it shiny and hard.
4) Fufu - Klin i.e detergent to ferment cassava in hours instead of days.
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve it further.
6) Fresh fish - Industrial dye.
7) Unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals.
8) Mango - ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters.

These are but a few, meanwhile, Nigerian yam, beans are banned across parts of Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.

We virtually consume these on daily basis, and result today is unprovoked kidney and liver damage.

[TOMBELLZ @TimiOgundare]

Jude, Peter and Paul used to call Lola Omotayo " Big Madam"

She was introduced to them by Howie T, she was like a super big woman to them who was helping them. They would postrate for her everytime they saw her.

Infact, they never had a direct number for her.

When, they broke up with Howie T, he purposely didn't give them any of the contacts he made for them including "Big Madam"

It was Peter who went to look for her someway and found her number and called her directly to beg for help.

It was through this that they got close in the first place.

Jude and Paul were not opposed to the relationship in the beginning because they felt it was a quick one and would also help them but when it looked serious it became a Problem.

They already had money at that time and their idea of a relationship was a young woman who would worship all of them for their money.

For them, Lola was too big for them - she was older than all of them, all of them used to grovell at her feet, it was inconceivable to them that they would have to see her everyday

Imagine your younger brother getting married to your former boss who knew you when you were zero - Jude saw it has a spite and of course Paul follows him.

[Chicken Catcher🐔 @Only1Etubo]

I think it is high time we talked about this.

As a family, it’s okay to have preferences about who is married into the family. Every family has its own dynamics and values.

We also need to understand that once people reach adulthood, they are old enough to make their own decisions. At that point, regardless of your relationship, your role is to advise, express your concerns, and share your perspective. That’s where your responsibility ends. Anything beyond is just you trying to control another person’s life.

If someone is determined to marry a particular person, you may have valid reasons for opposing the relationship. Voice your opinion. Explain your concerns. Help them understand why you believe it may not be the best decision. But at the end of the day, the choice is theirs to make.

Once they have made that decision, the best thing you can do is support them. They are still your family. That’s the purpose of family.

Abandoning them or treating their spouse with hostility because they married someone you didn’t approve of is a very stupid thing to do and it makes no sense whatsoever. It just creates division and resentment, and it undermines the foundation of what family is supposed to be.

Talk to your families. All that shit needs to stop in 2026.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

This Psquare matter is funny to me because I can transfer every money in my account to my elder bro's account or my mom's account and I'll sleep in peace because I know it is safe.

As it is now, the children of Paul and the children of Peter cannot have a relationship. Ifvanything happens to one brother, the other brother will not step in for the bro's family.

How did it get so bad? I've never understood greed or why money should be valued above your relationship that you destroy what actually matters because of money.

@LinkScipio I think there is a distinction between the demiurge and the monad or "source"

I think there is a universal God that all Consciousness grows from and returns to

And then there is a lower god that created the physical world to be a hellish torturous power game

Let’s stay with Iran for a moment.

Who kept Iran alive?

When the sanctions hit. When the oil revenues collapsed. When the currency crashed. When the spare parts for civilian aircraft stopped coming and Iranian planes started falling out of the sky. When the medical supply chains were disrupted and ordinary Iranians couldn't get cancer medication.

Who kept Iran economically viable?

China.

China bought Iranian oil when no one else would.

China built trade relationships that bypassed dollar-denominated systems.

China provided the economic oxygen that made Iranian resistance to sanctions survivable.

China deployed the satellite network that kept Iranian missiles on target when US-Israeli jamming tried to blind them mid-flight.

Not dramatically. Not with speeches about solidarity and the dark hour of humanity.

With purchase orders.

With trade routes.

With yuan.

With BeiDou.

People praise Iran's moral stance and critique China's materialism in the same breath, without asking who paid for Iran's moral stance to be possible.

The answer is China.

The principled resistance people celebrate was subsidized by the materialist they condemn.

The least anyone can do is acknowledge the relationship.

🇷🇺Russia: Fine, hypersonic missiles it is, but can you at least not put military bases right in front of our borders?

🇺🇸USA: No

🇷🇺Russia: Well, you just carried out a military coup to overthrow a democratic election in Ukraine, can we still have a friendly relationship with them?

🇺🇸USA: No

Russia: Gotcha, but the people of Crimea are really pissed off about that coup, can you please let them have independence?

🇺🇸USA: No

🇷🇺Russia: Roger, but surely you can at the very least stop bombing the civilians living in Donbass, right?

[Aprajita Nafs Nefes 🦋 Ancient Believer @aprajitanefes]

🇪🇸|#Spain | This is not a migration crisis. It is a multi-front war orchestrated by the Mossad and the CIA and executed by Morocco against a nation that refuses to become an imperial vassal.

This is not a wave of migration, it is a carefully orchestrated geopolitical attack. The people flooding the Ceuta border are not refugees; they are being used as human battering rams to punish a government that refused to bow to Washington. When Spain refused to serve as a launchpad for the U.S. war on Iran, Washington, Tel Aviv, and Rabat joined forces to weaponize the North African border.

🎯 The Real Target is Spain not Migrants

On July 30, 2026, thousands of migrants predominantly young men flooded into Ceuta, Spain’s enclave in North Africa. Between 1,500 and 2,000 migrants arrived in just a few days, representing roughly 2% of Ceuta’s population. At least nine people died while attempting to swim across.

But why now? Why Ceuta?

Because Spain said "No."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez refused to allow the U.S. to use two military bases in southern Spain; #Morón and #Rota to attack #Iran. Spain also refused to let ships carrying weapons to Israel dock at its ports. Spain recalled its ambassador to Israel. Spain recognized the State of Palestine. In short, Spain refused to act as a submissive puppet of the empire.

The punishment - Morocco opened the floodgates.

🗺️ Who Opened the Floodgates? An Invisible Hand at Work

The same thing happened in 2021. At that time, Morocco retaliated against Spain by relaxing border controls, allowing about 8,000 people to pour into Ceuta. Now, the script is playing out again but on a larger scale and with more sophisticated tools.

On the Moroccan side, the auxiliary forces responsible for border security voluntarily withdrew as the crowds passed through. This was coordination not loss of control.

And the timing is no coincidence too. Spain is approaching an election. A migration crisis is the perfect weapon to undermine the incumbent government, a classic tactic of the Mossad and the CIA.

🔪 The Bigger Game is the Struggle for the Strait of Gibraltar

This migration crisis is merely one move in a much larger game. The real prize is the Strait of Gibraltar, a chokepoint through which approximately 10% of global maritime trade and around 100,000 vessels pass annually.

In January 2026, Israel and Morocco signed a joint military action plan. Israel now supplies at least 51% of Morocco's missiles. With Israeli support, Morocco is massively expanding its drone production; it has deployed the Israeli "Spyder" air defense system and is locally manufacturing the Israeli SpyX loitering munition (kamikaze drone). A joint maritime surveillance center is currently being established on Morocco's northern coast.

A U.S. report identifies the Israel-Morocco arms deal as a turning point in the balance of power within the Strait of Gibraltar. Morocco even proposed to Trump that the U.S. bases at Morón and Rota be relocated from Spain to Morocco. A Spanish general admitted: "Morón Air Base will sooner or later be moved to Morocco."

Washington, Tel Aviv, and Rabat are acting in concert to push Spain out of the Strait of Gibraltar and replace it with a compliant Morocco.

💀 The "Multinational Force" in Gaza: Morocco's Ultimate Role

Meanwhile, Morocco is emerging as a key implementer of Israel's post-war plans for Gaza. For the first time, Morocco will host training exercises for a multinational force expected to number around 20,000 troops. Approximately 30 Moroccan military officers have already entered Gaza to conduct on-the-ground reconnaissance. Morocco is expected to deploy around 500 soldiers to Gaza. Israeli officials now describe Morocco as Israel's most important security partner on the African continent.

A nation that uses "support for Palestine" as its diplomatic calling card is now becoming an instrument of military enforcement for Israeli control over Gaza.

⚡ The Complete Chain of the Plot

Here is the full picture:

1. Spain says "No": Refusing U.S. bases, Israeli arms shipments, and unconditional support for Israel.
2. Morocco opens the floodgates: Thousands of migrants pour into Ceuta, creating a crisis to punish Spain.
3. Israel supplies weapons: Missiles, drones, and air defense systems transforming Morocco into a regional military power.
4. The US provides cover: Washington supports Israel-Morocco military cooperation and tacitly condones the weaponization of migration.
5. The Strait of Gibraltar is the prize: a strategic waterway controlling 10% of global maritime trade.
6. Gaza is the ultimate goal: Morocco playing a "peacekeeping" role in Israeli-occupied Gaza.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

When Iran launches missiles at U.S. military bases (which are clearly valid military targets in a time of war), the action is described as a "surprise attack" to insinuate that the attack is somehow unethical or immoral.

Yet when the U.S. launches surprise attacks on Iran, including attacks on civilian schools, or assassinations of Iranian leaders, or the bombing of critical civilian infrastructure, those are called "strikes" to imply they are a routine, justifiable part of warfare.

When it comes to the actual moral code of what's happening in this conflict, the U.S. consistently proves itself to be immoral and unethical:

- The U.S. launched the illegal war in the first place, even though Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S.

- The U.S. deliberately targeted and bombed a school with 170+ young girls (children), then double-bombed the target when parents and teachers showed up to try to rescue their injured children.

- The U.S. has repeatedly invited Iran negotiators to travel to a negotiation site, and then bombed them or used explosives to kill them, while blaming Iran for refusing to negotiate.

- The U.S. has no intrinsic right to control the Strait of Hormuz, located nearly on the opposite side of the planet as the United States of America. If that were true, then Iran would have the right to control the Gulf of Mexico.

- Trump routinely orders the U.S. military to strike civilian targets like bridges and power plants, committing act war crimes under U.S. law, while claiming he isn't bound by any laws or rules at all.

- To avoid requiring Congress to declare war, Trump pretends that each military action lasts only 60 days, at which point he declares the action to be concluded, and then the next day he declares a new action has begun, thereby stringing together a series of 60-day emergency actions, effectively usurping the power of Congress and concentrating the power to wage war in the hands of the executive (himself). While the war grows increasingly unpopular, Trump betrays the very Americans he is supposed to represent, and he pursues actions that most Americans find abhorrent.

Summary? The U.S. actions against Iran are illegal, unethical, immoral, unjustified and place the entire world at grave risk of famine, industrial collapse, economic depression and social strife stemming from those conditions.

Trump and Hegseth both need to be removed from office and prosecuted as war criminals. In a world of real justice and peace, perhaps they would share a jail cell with indicted war criminal Netanyahu.

Tufiakwa!

I speak seven languages, so I don't see why this has to be an either/or discussion.

English and French do open doors professionally no one is denying that. But is your culture not valuable too?

A language doesn't have to be commercially valuable to be valuable. Once your family loses Igbo, it's probably gone forever. English and French will still be there regardless.

You don't teach Igbo because it'll get your child a promotion. You teach it because it's part of who they are.
