CENTCOM:
"We are in total control of the Strait of Hormuz."
"Iran has realized zero oil revenue because of our big, beautiful blockade."
If you can't win a real war, win an imaginary one.
But eventually the truth seeps out.
@CarvajalF Saudi-backed forces are made mainly of foreign mercenaries fighting for foreign currency and MBS' agenda.
Iran-allied Ansarallah is 100% Yemeni, fights for Yemen and the end of foreign interference.
Hope this helps.
Ansarullah's leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, delivered a 98-minute address.
He split the Muslim world into two camps: states like Saudi Arabia cooperating with the US and Israel, versus the "Axis of Resistance."
At home, he framed Ansarullah as Yemeni nationalists rejecting Saudi guardianship.
Here is a summary:
1. Critique of Saudi Policy & Framing of the Palestinian Cause:
▫️ Characterized positive Saudi milestones (such as the King Faisal-era oil embargo) as narrow, isolated exceptions rather than the norm.
▫️Accused Riyadh of actively cooling and containing practical Arab and Islamic diplomatic or material support for Gaza following October 7.
▫️Cited Saudi-owned channels (specifically Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath) as evidence of Riyadh's stance, accusing them of adopting Israeli talking points and labeling Palestinian fighters as terrorists even up through ceasefire talks.
▫️Argued that Saudi influence forced regional states under a low political ceiling—limiting responses to soft statements calibrated to US sensibilities—while non-Islamic nations like Spain and Colombia took far bolder diplomatic and economic measures.
2. Regional Warnings & Shifting Alliances:
▫️Pakistani involvement: Condemned what he described as Pakistani military participation alongside coalition operations against Yemen.
▫️Warning to Qatar: Cautioned Doha against aligning politically or editorially with Riyadh, explicitly referencing the 2017 Gulf blockade and reminding Qataris that their initial military involvement in 2015 did not spare them from Saudi betrayal, air closures, and sanctions.
▫️Accused Al Jazeera of declining editorial standards, claiming the network has become indistinguishable from Saudi state outlets in laundering Riyadh's narrative and obscuring coalition operations in Yemen.
3. Domestic Frontlines & Military Developments:
▫️Praise for Taiz: Commended local communities and fighters in Taiz Governorate for backing armed and security forces in expelling Saudi-backed mobilizations, framing Taiz as a model for other southern provinces.
▫️Urged Yemeni tribes—described as the country's backbone—to maintain general mobilization and continually supply the frontlines with personnel and financial resources.
4. Strategic Posture of the Resistance Axis & Mass Protests:
▫️Called for large-scale street demonstrations to emphasize:
Unwavering ideological support for the Palestinian people.
▫️Rejection of alleged Saudi attempts to use Islamic holy sites for anti-Yemeni messaging.
▫️Condemnation of Saudi airstrikes and civilian infrastructure casualties.
▫️Reaffirmed readiness within the "Axis of Jihad and Resistance" to enter any upcoming rounds of confrontation against Israel.
▫️Urged Muslim nations to forge a united defensive alliance to confront wider Israeli strategic plans across the region.
‼️ "Asking why Russia did not end the war quickly is asking the wrong question. It does not want to end it quickly. It wants to win it deeply. It wants that, at the end of this conflict, it is not just a flag that changes on a building, but an entire era that comes to a close."

🚨 Japan’s Own Paper Nikkei Just Admitted: The Yen Carry Trade Is Unwinding and Volatility Won’t Stop
Japan’s own financial paper, Nikkei, just flagged it in black and white:
The massive yen carry trade is starting to come apart. The wild swings aren’t calming down. The people sitting on those positions are suddenly waking up to how fast one bad move can wipe them out.
This isn’t some random journal on the Japanese Wall Street. This is Nikkei.
And it lines up with what @yutokanzakireal revealed: The Bank of Japan has made the call to bring the Japanese wealth back to homeland by any means necessary.
Japan has already dumped $87 Billion worth of their U.S. Treasury holdings despite Scott Bessent‘s interventions and overseeing BoJ operations.
They want Japanese money brought back home. They’re done letting it sit overseas while the currency gets punished.
Every attempt to paper over it failed. The threats, the interventions, the coordinated statements from the U.S. and Treasury, none of it stopped the trade from getting bigger.
Scott Bessent overtook BoJ operations, called himself the house, dared traders to short the yen and now he says that he cannot control the bond market.
Now the bond market is doing whatever it wants and he’s reduced to telling people to slow down before it snaps.
Even the BoJ governor admitted that the hike cycle is not done whether the economy likes it or not.
When the officials who were supposed to keep this contained start sounding nervous, and Japan’s own paper starts describing the retreat, the exit door is already getting smaller.
Just one Tokyo fund broke the French debt market by selling their holdings to ZERO.
Imagine what happens when BoJ indeed dumps their $1.2 Trillion U.S. Treasury Holdings.
Saudi Arabia calling on Turkey and Pakistan to join its war against Ansar Allah is not a good look.
Riyadh is one of the richest states in the region, armed with some of the most advanced military hardware money can buy.
Sanaa is one of the poorest.
“Salmond convincingly won the case after the government botched the investigation, forcing it to concede. Legal advice later released showed Dunlop had repeatedly urged the government to admit defeat, only for senior figures to refuse for months”what a 🎯 paragraph 👌🏻
The defense minister, who is leading the battles to liberate Yemen from Saudi Arabia, is Sunni.
And, very much so, Yemen is not sectarian.
The government we overthrew in 2011 was headed by a Zaidi
Breaking: Residents of Taiz are rising up against the Saudi-backed militias, who are cutting off internet access to the city to tighten their siege. Many leaders are reportedly defecting and surrendering to the Sana'a government.
The Yemeni people are liberating themselves from Saudi Arabia.

History didn’t begin on October 7!
Years of crimes. Years of plunder. Years of captivity.
All done by Israel.
Operation Al Aqsa Flood brought the dream of Palestine back to life,
and exposed you to the world for what you are...
Free Palestine 🇵🇸✊
I think she is terrific.
By her antics, she reveals the bullies of the league and shows them up for what they are.
That is why they hate her.
She winds them up, they lose their minds and rage.
Focus should instead be on requiring the bullies to show a tad of self-control.
A day of massive jubilation, as Malian army takes Kidal again from Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), the French sponsored terrorists group.
When the Terrorist were attacking Mali last year, Western media were celebrating that Mali was about to become the 1st African country taken over by armed terrorist, now they have gone silent, not a single one of them are covering the story.
A lot of SNP supporters getting very upset at Wings for crowdfunding £30k to have a judicial review on the £600k ring-fenced crowdfunder that Swinney admitted the party spent on 'other things.' and not an independence referendum exclusively, as promised.
If Stu Campbell spent the £30k on 'other things' instead of a judicial review would these same people be silent, or indeed defend his right to spend the money raised for anything else he so decided?
