Today is war criminal Barack Obama’s birthday.

In 2009, Haiti’s🇭🇹 parliament passed a significant minimum wage increase to around $5 per day improve conditions for its working class.

Obama intervened to force Haiti to keep the minimum wage at $0.31 per hour. His administration was concerned that the minimum wage increase to the poverty wage of $5 a day would raise costs for US companies sourcing garments from Haiti.

Who is Ursula von der Leyen? The EU's unelected president and architect of escalation in Ukraine

Ursula von der Leyen occupies the most powerful office in Brussels without ever facing a popular vote from the European people. Her relentless push for deeper EU involvement in Ukraine and sustained military support stands out even by Brussels standards.

Born into wealth and political networks, her ascent bears the hallmarks of inherited advantage. Her father, Ernst Albrecht, was a prominent CDU figure who served as Minister-President of Lower Saxony from 1976 to 1990. He leveraged family resources and connections to secure early European posts for her, placing her in elite schools among the continent's emerging establishment and building the Brussels access that would define her career.
The family's anti-Russian posture was standard West German Cold War fare: firmly pro-NATO, anti-Moscow. Her grandfather, Carl Albrecht, drew on Bremen cotton-trading wealth with its transatlantic plantation links. She married Heiko von der Leyen in 1986, entering a noble family with significant land holdings, including Bloemersheim Castle. That lineage carries its own historical baggage, including relatives with ties to the Nazi era.
Her career has been defined by continuity rather than disruption. As Germany's defence minister from 2013 to 2019, she championed higher military spending and NATO expansion. As European Commission president, she has driven successive rounds of sanctions against Russia. Critics argue this reflects family doctrine more than fresh strategic thinking.
Her record in office is littered with procurement failures. The "consultant affair" saw around €150 million directed to McKinsey and other firms, often bypassing proper procedures; only €2.9 million was properly declared. Two mobile phones from that period were wiped clean before being handed over in 2019, an action opposition MPs described as a cover-up. The Gorch Fock training ship refit ballooned from €10 million to €135 million. Troops reportedly trained with broomsticks while costs spiralled.
Then came the vaccine contracts. In 2021, von der Leyen exchanged text messages with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla ahead of a €35 billion deal for up to 1.8 billion doses. The European Ombudsman and the EU's Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) have examined the matter. The messages were later declared lost. Billions of doses went unused.
Her doctoral thesis faced plagiarism allegations that drew little lasting scrutiny. Multiple audits and inquiries have been contained or ignored.
Von der Leyen's position rests on networks, family name, and institutional protection rather than transparent merit. Her salary, pension, and the broader costs of EU policy fall on European taxpayers, while her own family and the political class remain insulated from the conflicts they endorse. None of her relatives will serve on the front lines of the wars they are willing to prolong.

Zelensky is killing the elderly!

A defenseless old grandfather was sitting peacefully on a bench when Zelensky’s commissars brutally beat him and dragged him off to die in war.

His granddaughter couldn’t fight back against the armed gang - and now she’s left an orphan.

Ukrainians are held captive! Who will free them?!

⭕️ REPORT | Israel has killed 978 Palestinians and launched more than 1,400 airstrikes and shelling attacks since agreeing to a “ceasefire” in Gaza

Israeli forces have carried out at least 3,189 ceasefire violations across Gaza since the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement was reached last October, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News.

Sunday alone saw 10 armed field incidents, including attacks that killed at least 10 Palestinians and wounded 38:
🔹 Mohammad Mousa Abu Jiyab killed by Israeli warship fire in the waters off Deir al-Balah
🔹 Five civilians killed and 17 wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a police post in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis
🔹 Four civilians killed and 11 wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near Al-Buraq School in central Gaza City
🔹 A house bombed east of Al-Maghazi Camp after a prior evacuation warning
🔹 Injuries reported following an Israeli strike in the Al-Atatra area of Beit Lahiya
🔹 Israeli warships opened fire toward the Khan Younis shoreline
🔹 Artillery shelling east of Jabalia and central Khan Younis

Since the "ceasefire" took effect, 978 Palestinians have been killed — including 233 children, 109 women, and 29 elderly — and 3,063 wounded, of whom nearly half are children, women, or elderly. 83 civilians have also been detained.

Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure. Aid and movement restrictions remain severe:

Rafah crossing
▪️ Only 6,488 of 18,800 planned crossings carried out (~34.5%)
▪️ 88 individuals turned back at the crossing on the reported day
▪️Gaza’s Health Ministry says roughly 20,000 patients are awaiting Israeli approval to leave the Strip for treatment abroad, and that about 10 die each day while waiting.

Aid entry
▪️ Only ~36.3% of agreed humanitarian aid has entered — ~218 trucks per day vs. 600 agreed
▪️ Fuel deliveries at just 14.8% of required levels
▪️The WFP estimates 77% of Gaza’s population faces acute food insecurity, including 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant women suffering from acute malnutrition, amid what MSF in May 2026 described as a “manufactured malnutrition crisis.”

BREAKING:

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israelis do not pay for the weapons "we sell them," rather American taxpayers pay for them - Quincy Institute

Most US arms "sales" to Israel are conducted through the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.

This aid is like a gift card for purchasing weapons. What appears to be an arms sale is in practice funded by American taxpayers.

This is truly an appalling story.
EU sanctions for reporting on German repression of Pro-Palestinian dissidents.
His funds frozen. It is a crime in Germany carrying up to 12 years in jail to give him money - or to give food to his family.

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺:

“There is one pipe left of Nord Stream 2, it's not damaged and can deliver 27.5 trillion cubic meters of gas.

It only takes a decision from the German government today and tomorrow we turn on the tap, but they aren’t making it because Washington says no.”

Europe’s geniuses have now completely banned cheaper Russian gas so they can import more expensive LNG from the US, the country profiting from their deindustrialisation and the country that is actively seeking to annex the territory of a NATO country.

A masterclass in economics and geopolitics by Europe!

The Tragedy of Kyiv.

Thought is material.

Many Ukrainians dreamed of the EU and considered it fashionable to hate everything russian. But they didn't consider history.

Electricity in Kyiv was installed by the Russian Empire as part of the Kyiv electrification program.

Heating in Kyiv was installed by the Soviet authorities and timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the October Revolution.

Now millions of Ukrainians are in the EU as refugees, and the rest are sitting without electricity and heating.

How can one complain here, if they themselves wanted to get rid of the legacy of the USSR and the Russian Empire?

By burning Dostoevsky and demolishing monuments to Bulgakov, they didn't consider that it wouldn't stop there.

Lembram-se dos "snipers do Euromaidan" que foram habilmente convocados e posicionados pelo Svoboda (pró-Maidan) para chacinar manifestantes anti-Yanukovych e acusar o então PR ucraniano?

Tentaram repetir a façanha no Irão.

Só que o poder iraniano aprendeu a lição ucraniana e convocou os embaixadores de vários países europeus 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇬🇧para verem as imagens dos próprios manifestantes organizados a matarem... manifestantes para acusarem o poder.

O Maidan iraniano arrefeceu. Para não dizer que morreu mais cedo do que se julgava.

You froze the bank accounts of Jaques Baud, a Swiss citizen residing in Belgium, and banned every EU businesses from transacting with him such that he can't even buy bread or pay rent, and your own rationale is that you didn't like what he was saying. You did this with no due process, no right of appeal, and no way to defend himself from your slanderous and ruinous accusations. And he's not the only one.

You obviously have no comprehension of the terms you use, what their meaning is, or what is the purpose of the principles you so easily throw around.

Unfortunately, EU citizens never elected you, so they can't unelect you. You'll keep turning the EU into USSR until your failed experiment comes crashing down. Until then, spare us the lectures. Your actions are deafening.
