Vladimir Putin: "Eğer Rusya, İsrail'in Gazze'de yaptıklarının sadece %10'unu yapmış olsaydı, NATO şu anda Moskova'nın kapısında olurdu."
Batı bize insan haklarının İsrail'in çıkarlarının sınırlarında başlayıp bittiğini öğretti."

Not every act of heroism is rewarded with a medal. Some are written on the road.
A heartfelt salute to the truck driver who risked his own vehicle to support another truck and prevent what could have been a tragic accident.
A truly noble and selfless act that deserves our deepest respect and appreciation.
Part 1/2
Spycatcher by Peter Wright (1987)
This is the book the British government treated as a direct threat to the state itself. A long-serving senior MI5 officer broke decades of silence and published one of the most detailed insider accounts of corruption, law-breaking, and abuse of power inside Britain’s domestic intelligence service.
Peter Wright described how MI5 ran illegal surveillance and burglary operations against its own citizens, protected high-level Soviet moles, and engaged in a sustained campaign of dirty tricks against a sitting Prime Minister.
The Thatcher government responded with one of the most aggressive suppression efforts in modern British history court injunctions, Official Secrets Act threats, attempts to block publication worldwide, and direct pressure on foreign courts and publishers. They ultimately failed, and the book became a global bestseller.
Wright worked inside MI5 for over twenty years, specializing in technical operations, bugging, and counter-espionage. He had direct, hands-on knowledge of how the service actually operated behind its wall of secrecy. When he retired, he wrote Spycatcher because he believed MI5 had become dangerously corrupted more concerned with protecting its own reputation and power than with defending the country or obeying the law. The government’s panicked legal campaign to stop the book only reinforced his central argument: that the intelligence services and their political masters would go to extreme lengths to keep the public from learning what they were really doing.
Here is what Wright laid out in raw detail the parts the British state fought hardest to suppress.
The campaign against Prime Minister Harold Wilson
Wright alleged that from the mid-1960s into the 1970s, elements inside MI5 ran a sustained, illegal operation against Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson. This included widespread bugging of Wilson’s offices, his home, and his close associates. MI5 officers also fed disinformation to journalists and politicians designed to portray Wilson as a Soviet sympathizer or even a KGB asset. Wright described how some senior officers discussed far more extreme measures. He claimed conversations took place about the possibility of forcing Wilson out of office or taking other drastic steps if the service believed he posed a serious threat to the country. These were not fringe ideas from junior officers Wright presented them as discussions involving people at senior levels of MI5. The book painted a picture of a domestic intelligence agency that had decided an elected British Prime Minister was an enemy serious enough to justify treating him as a target for covert action.
High-level Soviet moles and institutional cover-ups
One of the most explosive parts of the book concerns Wright’s long-held belief that MI5 had been penetrated by Soviet intelligence at the highest levels. He strongly suspected Sir Roger Hollis, Director General of MI5 from 1956 to 1965, of being a KGB mole. Wright detailed how investigations into suspected traitors were repeatedly blocked or watered down, how evidence was ignored or destroyed, and how careers were protected even when serious suspicions existed. He argued that admitting a mole at the very top of the service would have been too damaging to MI5’s reputation and power, so the truth was buried for years. Wright revisited the Cambridge Five scandals and claimed the service had failed to properly learn from earlier penetrations, allowing new ones to continue. According to him, protecting the institution came before actually catching spies.

Nico Williams's mother, Maria, walked nearly 2,000 miles while pregnant from Ghana towards Spain for a better life.
He grew up to assist the goal that won Spain the World Cup. Then, he gave his winner's medal to his mom.
The Argentina team are emblematic of a world where lying, cheating and bullying your way to success has become the norm. Nice to see them go home in disgrace, with nothing.
