1/7 SO many IDIOTS in this country. People who bought Trump's BULLSHIT that all the news organizations other than Fox or News Max are "fake news". He had to do this to cover his ass when they reported a TRUE incident...to combat that he made you think only Donald Trump was
2/7 telling the truth. It is the SAME thing he did with the 2020 election. Instead of being branded a LOSER after Joe Biden was due to win, he called the election "fraudulent", so he could say "I didn't lose the election, they stole it from me" (which is EXACTLY what happened in
3/7 the 2024 election...they are now finding out it was rigged with help from Elon Musk and his satellites), which was pure bullshit; even his personal attorney Bill Barr investigated and found NO evidence of fraud. Trump even hired TWO firms to investigate the election to look

What happens when a traumatised society wields enormous, unchecked power?
Israel's identity has been systematically built around victimhood. From childhood Israelis are immersed in Holocaust education, intended not for empathy but to internalise an existential fear.
School trips to Poland, state rituals and curriculum all reinforce one message: Jews are perpetually threatened and only military strength can ensure survival. This isn't accidental; it's engineered.

2/ Boris Rozhin reports on his 'Colonelcassad' Telegram channel:

"The Rubikon Center's official channel has published over 24,000 episodes of enemy target destruction.

Structure and dynamics of hit targets by type:
3/ "36.7% (+0.3%) - Unmanned systems (multicopter and aircraft UAVs, ground robots)

16.7% (-0.2%) - Communication and surveillance equipment

15.8% (+0.3%) - Ground hardened targets (airborne, field fortifications)

12.2% (-0.2%) - Unarmoured vehicles

First German Military Strategy

1/14

Germany presents its first Military Strategy today. Not a strategic big bang, but an important step: Germany is formally stating what it wants to be able to do militarily — nationally, in NATO, and for Europe. Image
2/14
The 5 points to watch:
Europe from national strength

industry as the key gap
limited public prioritisation
Russia as military focal point
deep strike as the most interesting capability signal.
3/14
The biggest step forward is this: Germany frames European defence more clearly from national strength. Not: cooperation compensates for missing capabilities. Rather: national capabilities make cooperation credible.

Mental health problems have risen since the pandemic. And the evidence keeps growing that the main part of that burden may be a biological consequence of infection itself 🧵
A new preliminary study in older adults adds to that picture.
Researchers studied 24 adults aged 60+.
12 with persistent cognitive symptoms lasting more than 6 months, and 12 healthy age matched controls.
The Long COVID group showed significantly higher levels of depression and fatigue than the healthy controls.

Good morning PAYE Pigs! Up and at em!

As you drag your sorry carcasses into the office this fine morning in an honest attempt to barely break even or even worse - struggle to make ends meet - whilst more than half the country sits on its collective arse doing nothing, know this:

Britain has, quietly, crossed the Rubicon.

52.6% of households now receive more from the state than they pay in.

The majority of people you see today are net recipients. The minority (you) fund it.

This means it can no longer be accurately labelled as just a “welfare system”, in fact what we have is a demographic pyramid scheme with better branding.

The numbers, for anyone still pretending:

• 8.4m on Universal Credit, Feb 2026. Highest ever.

• Up from 5.5m in March 2022. 53% rise in under four years.

• ~20% of the working-age population now on UC.

• 50% of UC claimants are in the “no work requirements” regime.

• 4.2m working-age adults on UC, not required to look for work.

• Two-child cap lifted this month. Numbers about to accelerate.

• UC uplift for 2026/27 above inflation. Baked in.

Now consider the net contributor base:

• 52.6% of households net recipient. 47% net contributor.

• 35.1m individuals in net recipient households, +4m since pre-Covid.

• 89% of retirees in net claimant households. 46% of non-retirees, and rising.

• Strip out children, students, dependents: genuine net contributors are ~35-40% of adults.

• Net recipience was 37% of households in 1977. It’s 52.6% today.

• Net recipient headcount up ~11m since 2000.

• Growing fastest among working-age people. Ageing isn’t the driver. Wage stagnation since 2008 is.

The net contributor base is structurally too small to fund the commitments.

Fiscal drag is buying time, not solving anything. The bond market will deliver the verdict the political class refuses to.

A majority of the country votes for a system that takes more from the minority than the minority can sustainably give.

Call that equilibrium what it is: a run rate. Run rates have terminal values. Ours is being priced at the long end of the curve in real time, and nobody in Westminster has the stomach to read the chart.

Starmer is done, what follows will be much much worse. This picture will deteriorate faster and harder.

Britain is cooked… 👀 👇Image
And to be clear my issue is with the scumbags who created this shit for brains incentive / dependency structure. Not the people it’s been foisted upon.

There are more than 15 specific changes that took effect on April 1st, and most people will only discover them when they file their tax return next year — by which point it'll be too late to plan.

I'm going to walk you through every single change —

🧵🧵
1/

The Income Tax Act, 1961 — the law that governed how India taxes income for 65 years — is gone. The new Income Tax Act, 2025 is now in force.

For example, If you've been referencing '80C' or '80D' in conversations — those section numbers are different now. 80C deductions are now under Schedule XV read with Section 123.
2/

The confusing dual system of 'Financial Year' and 'Assessment Year' has been replaced by a single term: 'Tax Year.'

So income earned from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 is Tax Year 2026-27. You file your return for Tax Year 2026-27. No more 'AY 2027-28' confusion.
