🇪🇺🇷🇺 Ursula von der Leyen says RUSSIA IS USING MASS MIGRATION as a weapon against EUROPE

The EU chief accuses Russia of deliberately pushing migrants toward European borders to overwhelm authorities, spread fear and divide the continent.

She now wants new emergency powers to deal with these situations.

Brussels has SPENT YEARS defending migration and asylum as part of Europe's values.

Now it's warning that hostile governments can exploit those same systems to destabilize Europe.

Completely ridiculous. And pretty revealing who is actually behind it all...

My father has never hugged me.

Not when I was born. Not at my graduation. Not when I left home.

That's normal for a Japanese father his age. Love is a full gas tank when you visit. A bag of oranges handed over without a word.

Last month, my friend from Texas came to dinner at my parents' house. When it was time to go, he did what Texans do.

He hugged my mother.
Then he turned around and hugged my father.

My father froze. Arms straight down. Like a soldier being hugged by a bear.

Three seconds. Nobody breathed.

After he left, my father sat at the table for a long time. Then he said:

"In America… do they do that with their fathers too?"

"Every time," I said.

He nodded. That was all.

Two weeks later, I went home for dinner. When I was leaving, my father stood up, walked to the door, and put his arms around me.

Badly. Like he was assembling furniture with no instructions.

I'm over forty. It was the first time.

He let go, looked at the floor, and said, "Drive safely."

My mother told me later he'd been practicing on the dog.

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.

The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Fuck all of these fake-ass larping trans-trender faggots.

I'm transsexual. I suffer from sex dysmorphia. If you don’t, you're NOT trans. I hate having sex dysmorphia. I always play a female character because of it.

In a world where you can be anything, if you CHOOSE to be trans then you don't know a single fucking thing about how awful it is. There's a reason why the suicide rate is so high, and it's NOT bullying.

There is no such fucking thing as non-binary or genders. There is male and female, and that's it.

MY MENTAL DISORDER IS NOT YOUR FUCKING COSTUME.

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:

“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”

I literally would ask it with pride. I was super pumped about it because like it was some unbeatable argument. I loved how that felt.

But bro, later I realized something:

That question is not exposing Christianity - like at all.

It was exposing my total misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be for His people.

After I became a Christian, I pondered this a lot. I repent for this too!

The question is not: Why would God become weak?

The question is: What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?

This was convicting for me because Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable. But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.

After I understood it, Jesus' humanity stopped looking like weakness to me.

It became proof of love.

If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.

If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.

If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.

He entered it Himself.

Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh. Why? Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.

And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves. That one realization changed so much for me.

Every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity. Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.

PRAISE JESUS! I AM FREE! Follow me if you want to become better equipped to defend your faith, understand Islam, and lead Muslims toward Jesus.

I'm fully aware that I'm going to catch heat for this post. The pro-Ukrainian crowd is going to accuse me of being a Russian bot.

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm just a 48 year old American dad from North Carolina trying to spread some truth.

I don't GAF about Putin or Russia. But these are the facts.

Biden met with Putin during the summer of 2021. After that meeting, Biden said that he was optimistic of having a good relationship with Putin.

After that meeting, Putin again said that his redline was Ukraine joining NATO.

Two months after meeting with Putin, Biden invited Zelensky to the White House to discuss a new missile system for Ukraine and to discuss Ukraine joining NATO. That happened.

After the Biden/Zelensky meeting, Putin continued saying publicly that his redline was Ukraine joining NATO.

After Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden went on TV and declared that Ukraine would be joining NATO and that Russia had already lost the war.

I don't give a damn about Putin or Russia. I'm not arguing that Putin was in the right. The purpose of this post is to show that the Biden Administration absolutely knew what they were doing when they were provoking Putin to start this war. They knew what they were doing when they invited Zelensky to the White House to discuss Ukraine joining NATO. Wake up people.

Security called me at 6:12 AM today.

"Patch every PHP server immediately."

I asked what happened.

"Two critical vulnerabilities. Remote code execution. No authentication required."

Cool.

How many PHP servers do we have?

According to inventory: 12

According to reality:

Nobody knows.

We found one running WordPress.

Three running old internal tools.

One under someone's desk.

Two inside vendor appliances.

A forgotten employee directory from 2016.

And a server named:

PHP-OLD-DO-NOT-TOUCH

Naturally, that one runs payroll exports.

Then we found a PHP 5.6 box.

I asked who owned it.

The documentation said:

BRIAN.

Brian left in 2019.

We called Brian.

He said:

"Oh wow, that's still running?"

Excellent.

By 8 AM, leadership joined the incident call.

CEO:

"Can hackers actually get in?"

Security:

"Potentially yes."

CEO:

"Without a password?"

Security:

"Yes."

CEO:

"Then why do WE need passwords?"

Not the lesson.

Finance asked if we could wait until the weekend to patch because downtime affects revenue.

Security explained that the alternative was letting strangers execute code on our servers.

Finance asked for a cost comparison.

At 9:17, someone suggested temporarily taking the vulnerable websites offline.

Marketing refused.

"Our campaign is live."

So for the next hour, the company officially decided maintaining a landing page for 20% off webinar registration was more important than preventing remote server takeover.

We finally patched everything we could find.

Then our scanner discovered another PHP server.

Hostname:

TEMP-PHP-2014

Uptime:

4,512 days.

Nobody knows what it does.

Nobody owns it.

Nobody can shut it down.

But every time we block network access, the warehouse stops printing shipping labels.

Security has classified it as critical infrastructure.

It is running PHP 5.4.

The vulnerability has existed longer than half our employees.

The emergency patch took four hours.

Finding out what PHP actually runs took eleven.

The internet isn't held together with code.

It's held together with servers everyone is afraid to turn off.
