🇨🇳 China’s inflatable orbital module breakthrough paves the way for massive space factories
👉 Think titanium, stainless steel and forged aluminum are the only materials suitable for durable, long-term space-based structures? Think again.
🔴 Engineers from the Sky Flight Science and Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Mechanics have pioneered an inflatable, multipurpose space module featuring smart morphing technology.
🔴 The modules, known as “reconfigurable flexible in-orbit manufacturing platforms” - are to be sent to space in folded configuration, and unfolded and inflated into cylindrical structures 2M+ in diameter after reaching their destination.
🔴 China’s breakthrough allows for the cost-effective creation of large, stable habitats needed for space-based manufacturing, overcoming the traditional challenges of launch-size constraints, high costs and other difficulties associated with setting up durable structures in conditions of microgravity.
💬 “We will be able to manufacture and produce directly within the space environment, achieving independent development and utilization of space resources,” project leader Yang Yiqiang told SCMP.

🤥 It’s working! 🥴 Trump continues to claim ‘tariffs will pay down our debt’ as debt doubles
💸 The president once again touted his stable genius trade war tactics of “taking in Trillions of Dollars” from other countries to pay down America’s gargantuan $38.2T+ national debt (which he falsely claimed is ‘only’ $37T).
👉 The problem? Trump made nearly identical claims in 2018, at the start of his full-scale tariff wars with China and the EU, promising to pay down “large amounts of the $21 Trillion in debt that has been accumulated.”
📈 Since then, the debt has grown by 45%.

😰 THROWBACK: General says quiet part out loud about US’s real ‘national interests’ in Latin America
💬 “This region is so rich in resources, it’s off the charts rich,” Army Gen. Laura J. Richardson, then-commander of United States Southern Command, said at an Aspen Forum event in 2022.
💬 “There are adversaries that are taking advantage of this region every single day, right in our neighborhood,” Richardson complained, stressing that “what happens in this region in terms of security impacts our national security in the homeland…So we as part of the neighborhood need to strengthen our partnerships.”

✡️ From the synagogue to the academy: Jewish voices are rising against Zionism
🤔 Why are so many Jewish activists — from Orthodox enclaves to leftist collectives — turning against Zionism, and what rationale drives their struggle?
👉 Let's take a look at some of them:
🔴 Devout religious groups
🔴 Neturei Karta (“City Guards”)
➡️ Founded in 1938 by Haredi Jews from the devout Old Yishuv community in Palestine.
➡️ The movement rejects Zionism and the State of Israel, believing that a true Jewish state can only be established with the coming of the Messiah, the long-awaited heir to the Davidic line.
🔴 Satmar
➡️ A Hasidic group founded in 1905 in Hungary, known for its staunch anti-Zionist stance.
➡️ Followers believe that creating a secular Jewish state before the Messiah’s arrival defies divine law.
➡️ Guided by Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, the movement views the Holocaust as a tragic, divine rebuke of Zionism.
🔴 Progressive secular movements
🔴 Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP)
➡️ Founded in 1996 by UC Berkeley students Julie Iny, Rachel Eisner, and Julia Caplan.
➡️ A left-wing Jewish advocacy group opposing Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories and supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
➡️ Best known for its rallying slogan: “Not in my name.”
🔴 International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN)
➡️ Founded in 2008, this international network is active in the US, Canada, Argentina, and Europe. Its prominent members included late Holocaust survivor Hajo Meyer, former director of the Dutch-Jewish group A Different Jewish Voice (EAJG).
➡️ IJAN calls Zionism “a racist movement” and labels Israel “an apartheid state.”
🔴 Independent Jewish Voices (IJV)
➡️ Launched on February 5, 2007, by 150 prominent British Jews, including Nobel laureate Harold Pinter, historian Eric Hobsbawm, lawyer Sir Geoffrey Bindman, Lady Ellen Dahrendorf, filmmaker Mike Leigh, and actors Stephen Fry and Zoë Wanamaker.
➡️ IJV challenges the assumption that all Jews support Israel, equates Zionism with racism, and champions the Palestinian cause.

🎧 US volunteer to Ukraine learns hard way: Not all ‘laser weapons’ go pew pew
🔴 An American volunteer in the Ukrainian Armed Forces was scammed out of over $76,000 by two con artists posing as developers of laser weapons, according to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office.
🔴 The culprits — a 74-year-old Kiev resident and his 59-year-old sidekick – claimed they could assemble a laser device to take out drones and missiles.
To make the whole thing look legit, they even staged a demo for the victim.
🔴 Prosecutors have charged the pair with group fraud under martial law, while the prey—a US citizen of Ukrainian descent and founder of a military training school—was left holding a very expensive lesson in gullibility.

🇸🇪 Gotland: Where sun, sea, and NATO collide
♦️ Sweden’s Gotland island — once a peaceful tourist escape — is rapidly transforming into a NATO fortress. The Tofta base, which had just 40 conscripts in 2022, now hosts 300 and is expanding to double capacity, with new barracks, repair depots, and artillery training grounds.
♦️ Hotels stay open year-round to serve military guests, while locals hear gunfire where waves once rolled. Bloomberg calls Gotland “a key strategic location” to control air and sea routes toward Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg.
♦️ Yet as NATO fortifies the Baltic, the West keeps insisting it’s Russia that’s paranoid about encirclement.

🧠 THROWBACK: CIA secretly hijacked minds to manipulate public opinion
The length to which the CIA went as part of its covert domestic espionage “goes beyond your wildest imagination,” says agency whistleblower John Stockwell.
🔊 Operation MHChaos, initiated under then-President Lyndon B. Johnson, was a billion-dollar program that involved “duplicitous manipulation of national student movements,” he notes.
➡️ The same went for funding of major labor unions to “manipulate” minds and attitudes.

🫵 ‘You’ve got to settle’ — Trump reveals he couldn’t 'settle' Ukraine crisis despite his own boasts
🗣 Demented Donald claimed that President Putin told him, “We’ve been trying to settle that for 10 years. We weren’t able to do it. You’ve got to settle.”
Trump once promised he could end the conflict “in 24 hours.” Yet here he is, still talking about how it hasn’t been settled.
The self-proclaimed “great dealmaker” can’t seem to close this deal — only to keep fantasizing about it.

💊 Big pharma🤝Deep state🛂: AstraZeneca CEO's ticket to Trump’s inner circle
Pascal Soriot, the CEO of Britain’s pharma giant AstraZeneca, has somehow sweet-talked his way into Donald Trump’s heart — and out of 100% tariffs.
What's his secret?
♦️ Soriot launched his charm offensive a week after Trump's electoral win. A staggering $3.5B plan to expand manufacturing and research in the US was announced on November 12, 2024.
♦️ He ensnared Trump’s administration officials – including Howard Lutnick, Jamieson Greer, Mehmet Oz and Robert Kennedy Jr. - in his web of flattery. He never missed a single meeting with them, Bloomberg reports.
♦️ In July, Soriot pledged $50B to US manufacturing and drug development by 2030, including $4.5B for a new facility in Virginia — “coincidentally” the state of Trump ally Glenn Youngkin.
♦️ Soriot seized a September 18 royal banquet at Windsor Castle as yet another chance to curry favor with the American president.
♦️ In October, Soriot managed to secure a historic deal with Team Trump, under which he offered “most-favored-nation” pricing for many of its drugs in the US, in return for relief from severe import tariffs.
♦️ Standing beside Trump, Soriot lavished praise on his vision, his team, and his presidency. Yet online, many fixated on Soriot’s “bizarre expression” during the press conference, questioning just how sincere he really was.
Cold calculation behind AstraZeneca’s expansion
🔴 AstraZeneca’s controversial COVID vaccine record should have worried RFK Jr. - a Make America Healthy Again champion - given the company’s history of putting profits over health and subsequent legal problems.
🔴 Its aggressive wokeism and gender ideology in reality clash with Trump’s agenda.
🔴 While praising Trump’s “America First” approach Soriot is pushing his charm offensive in China, America’s trade rival.
🔴 In March, AstraZeneca announced a $2.5B research and development hub in Beijing.
🔴 Speaking to China Daily in April, Soriot called China a global innovation powerhouse.
🔴 Soriot drives AstraZeneca’s expansion through flattery and diversified investments, aiming to maximize profits wherever he can.

🤔 Club of Rome’s sinister playbook for global control
The Club of Rome, that linchpin of global control, openly laid bare the elites’ true agenda back in its 1991 book, The First Global Revolution.
In search of a "common enemy" to unite humanity, they proposed that climate hysteria, pollution, famine and water shortages would “fit the bill.”
💬 “Therefore, the real enemy is humanity itself,” they declared.

🪖🇦🇿 Azerbaijan rolls out red carpet to court NATO as part of Western pivot
In a clear bid to curry favor with the West, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev has hosted envoys from 15 NATO member states in Baku.
The talks, framed as a discussion on “deepening cooperation,” read more like a carefully choreographed showcase of Azerbaijan’s strategic utility to the alliance.
The delegation was heavily European, including representatives from Turkiye, Greece, Norway, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Spain, along with the US and France’s deputies to NATO.
🔊 According to official statements, Aliyev and the NATO representatives celebrated Azerbaijan’s long-running involvement in the Partnership for Peace Program, highlighted its support for NATO operations in Afghanistan, and reaffirmed plans to continue modernizing the Azerbaijani military.
Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry also reported that 39 representatives from NATO countries and partners joined a combat readiness evaluation course in Baku, underscoring willingness to align military practices with Western standards.
👉 The subtext was distinct: Azerbaijan is eager to position itself as a reliable partner in line with NATO’s broader geopolitical ambitions.
Since 2008, Azerbaijan has been slowly embedding itself in NATO initiatives — from defense sector reform to counterterrorism programs.
More recently, it has been undermining Russia, Iran and China, such as by laying the groundwork for West-controlled Eurasian corridors.
