Germany: Das Merkel Calls For Censorship “to Save Democracy”

Angela Merkel Receives EU “Order Of Merit” For Helping To Destroy Europe

In her acceptance speech, Merkel called for expanded regulation (censorship) of social media in order to “save democracy”…

“Wir brauchen die Zensur um die Demokratie zu retten…”

Brussels honors Angela Merkel while Europe continues paying the price for her migration policies and Germany’s energy disaster

The European Union has just awarded Angela Merkel the European Order of Merit, the highest institutional honor in the bloc. Yes — the same Angela Merkel whose political decisions are still impacting the daily lives of millions of Europeans.

Das Merkel becomes the first person to receive the European Order of Merit, the EU’s new top honour for people who have contributed the most to Europe’s development. In her speech, she urged EU leaders to regulate speech on social media. She says it’s the only way to “save democracy”.

In Brussels, she is praised as a “historic leader” and a symbol of stability. Outside the EU bubble, however, many Europeans see something very different: a politician whose decisions helped accelerate Europe’s energy, economic, and migration crisis.

The announcement immediately sparked backlash online and among conservative voices across Europe, where frustration continues growing against political elites increasingly viewed as disconnected from ordinary people.

Because while Brussels hands out medals, European families are struggling with record electricity bills, crushing inflation, rising insecurity, and weakening economies.

One of Merkel’s biggest political mistakes was dismantling Germany’s nuclear energy system.

After the Fukushima disaster in 2011, the former chancellor pushed to shut down Germany’s nuclear power plants even though they produced nearly 30 percent of the country’s electricity. Experts warned at the time that the decision could become a long-term disaster.

They were ignored. Continue reading Germany: Das Merkel Calls For Censorship “to Save Democracy”

“U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces”

Update:

  • The United States has carried out new strikes on an Iranian military site allegedly posing a threat to US forces and maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, according to news reports.
  • Iranian media have reported that US forces struck near the Bandar Abbas port, causing no damage or casualties.

Iran Claims U.S. Talks Don’t Include Enriched Uranium Stockpile

Iranian state TV has published what it claims is a new draft proposal for peace with the U.S. — and it reportedly still clashes with several major American red lines. The proposal allegedly includes demands tied to Iran’s nuclear program and future enforcement measures, while also calling for $20 billion in frozen funds to be released as part of the deal.

Iran Claims It Downed U.S. Drone, Threatens ‘Devastating’ Response Next Time U.S. Violates Ceasefire

Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened a “very devastating” response to any future military activity by the United States on Tuesday following confirmation from the Pentagon that it had conducted “self-defense” airstrikes on Iranian targets.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the arm of the Pentagon responsible for Middle East activities, confirmed on Monday evening that it had conducted operations against Iranian targets accused of maintaining missile launch sites and maritime assets allegedly used to “emplace mines” in the Strait of Hormuz. Since Washington launched Operation Epic Fury to erode the Iranian regime’s ability to pose a threat to its neighbors in February, the IRGC has blocked regular commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important economic transit points in the world and a major source of oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) heading from Gulf states to Asia.

  • Aid agencies warn of an “absolute catastrophe” in southern Lebanon amid Israel’s attacks and its intensifying ground invasion.
  • Washington and Tehran have issued conflicting statementson negotiations to end the US-Israel war on Iran with US President Donald Trump saying there would be no easing of sanctions on Iran to reach a deal.

Islam is not an ‘Abrahamic’ religion

…and Islam is not a ‘religion of peace’ either.

The ‘Muslim Catholic’ Who Invented the Christian-Muslim Relationship

The origins of the dangerous myth of “Abrahamic Religions.”

Louis Massignon by Taqtigre

When Pope Leo hails Islam and when western politicians praise Islam as an “Abrahamic religion,” they are not reaching back to an ancient Christian tradition but the relatively new twentieth century invention of a man whom Pope Pius IX had described as a “Muslim Catholic”.

Traditional Christianity saw Islam as a pun for the sins of nations and Islamic rulers like Sultan Mehmed II as a “second Mohammed,” a “son of Satan” and a harbinger of the Antichrist.

One unlikely Christian ‘Islamist’ in the twentieth century helped change all that.

Louis Massignon was a French academic, intellectual, artist, officer, priest, gay man and likely spy, whose obsessive orientalism led him to spend a good deal of his time, occasionally at risk of his life, in the Muslim world, to advocate for its causes and to find spiritual meaning in Islam.

PILLAR OF JIHAD: Islamist Leaders View Immigration as Key Component to Subvert USA

TOPSHOT - Demonstrators take part in a protest against growing Islamophobia, white suprema

In his new book “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon,” Peter Schweizer reveals how jihadist leaders treated mass migration as a means to penetrate, subvert, and ultimately remake the United States from within.

The ideology is the same wherever Mohammedans have been allowed to settle behind enemy lines:

UK Grooming Gang Coverup: Paki Muslims Are Significantly Overrepresented

Did this ever happen?

Grooming Gang Review Author Warns People in ‘Denial’ over Role of Race and Religion in Mass Child Sex Abuse

The author of a major report on child rape grooming gangs in England has warned that many are still in denial about the role that ethnicity and religion play in the ongoing mass sexual exploitation of mostly young white working-class girls by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men.

While stating the fact that Paki Muslims are significantly overrepresented in the group sexual exploitation of young girls in Britain was once cast as akin to a conspiracy theory, a review last year from Baroness Louise Case forced the left-wing Labour Party government to not only launch a national review but also to finally admit that there was “clear evidence of over-representation among suspects of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men” among grooming gang child rapists.

Tocqueville & the Koran

Alexis de Tocqueville, one of the greatest observers of democracy in his classic book “Democracy in America”, delivered a devastating verdict on Islam nearly two centuries ago that still rings true today.
In the passage highlighted Tocqueville writes:
“Muhammad brought down from heaven and put into the Koran not religious doctrines only, but political maxims, criminal and civil laws, and scientific theories. The Gospels, on the other hand, deal only with the general relations between man and God and between man and man.
Beyond that, they teach nothing and do not oblige people to believe anything. That alone, among a thousand reasons, is enough to show that Islam will not be able to hold its power long in ages of enlightenment and democracy, while Christianity is destined to reign in such ages, as in all others.”
This is not a minor observation.
It exposes Islam’s fatal flaw: it is not just a faith but a complete totalitarian system.
The Quran and Hadith fuse religion with government, law (Sharia), warfare, family life, economics, and even claims about science. To question any part is to defy God.
Apostasy becomes treason. Blasphemy becomes sedition. There is no separation between mosque and state, faith and force. Continue reading Tocqueville & the Koran

Israel Picks Them Off, One by One

Israel must end the dangerous illusion of deterrence on the northern border – editorial

While Israelis were told that deterrence had been restored after airstrikes on Hezbollah and that Hezbollah understood the price of escalation, the reality in the North tells a different story.

Israeli soldiers take position as civilians take cover during a Hezbollah attack near the Israeli border with Lebanon in northern Israel, May 19, 2026.

Since the ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran was announced on April 8, 11 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon. Eleven. That number alone should be enough to force a national reckoning about what exactly Israel believes is happening on its northern border.

Netanyahu vows to ‘wipe out’ Hezbollah as Israeli strikes intensify in southern Lebanon

Netanyahu has said that Israel will ramp up attacks against Hezbollah, despite the recent “ceasefire” extension agreed to between Lebanese and Israeli officials.

“We will wipe them out completely,” he said in a statement.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent in southern Lebanon, Obaida Hitto, said that, at this point, the ceasefire is just “ink on paper”.

Proposed deal will include Iran committing to never having nukes and surrendering its uranium

 
How will this be enforced? How will the world know that Iran’s Islamic regime has surrendered allof its just-below-weapons-grade uranium? This is a Shi’ite regime, and a central doctrine of Shi’ism is taqiyya; in light of that, how can this regime be trusted to honor any agreement it signs? Fear of “Islamophobia” prevent such questions from ever being asked, but that doesn’t make them any less pertinent. As long as the Islamic Republic remains in power, it will continue its jihad, as soon as it is able to do so. If it gets $25,000,000,000 from the United States, that will be sooner rather than later.
 
Any negotiated settlement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the U.S. will be worth nothing. All it will do will be to buy time for Iran’s Islamic regime, allowing it to regroup and resume its jihad against the U.S. and Israel later.

Trump Calls for Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Others to Join Abraham Accords

  • United States forces said they have attacked missile launch sites and mine-laying vessels in southern Iran
  • US forces targeted missile launch sites and Iranian vessels “attempting to emplace” sea mines.
  • Top negotiators from Tehran have travelled to Qatar to discuss points of contention in a potential deal to end the US-Israel war on Iran.
  • The US has described the attacks in Bandar Abbas as “self-defence” strikes to protect troops from threats posed by Iranian forces.

    The US attacked missile launch sites and Iranian boats.

    The US said they were defending their forces while using a great deal of restraint in the face of attacks from Iranians. No one on the US side has been injured.

    There have been a number of skirmishes like this, particularly just after the start of the ceasefire. At the time, Trump said he didn’t consider these to be a breach of the ceasefire.

Trump: Iran’s Enriched Uranium to Be ‘Immediately Turned’ Over to U.S. or Destroyed in Iran

US President Donald Trump speaks during an announcement with Environmental Protection Agen

Trump Provides Update on Iran Deal and Options For Disposal of Their Enriched Uranium

President Donald Trump announced that Iran’s enriched uranium would either be “immediately turned over” to the United States or would be destroyed “in place” in Iran.

  • US President Donald Trump said an agreement with Iran to end the war should involve regional powers – including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkiye – signing onto the Abraham Accords to normalise relations with Israel.
  • United States forces attacked sites in southern Iran, in what a military spokesman described as “self-defence”. Earlier, Iranian media reported explosions in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas.

Soon Everyone Will Be Talking About The Cost Of Food

There is not going to be an agreement to end the war.

Everyone Talks About The Cost Of Gasoline… Soon Everyone Will Be Talking About The Cost Of Food

“The big story right now is oil… The next story is food.”

For most people, the price of gasoline is the most obvious consequence of the war in the Middle East. As I write this article, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $4.56. Of course, in some parts of the country, consumers are paying much more than that. This is a big story, and the truth is that gasoline prices are going to go even higher in the months ahead.

But if you think that the price of gasoline is bad, just wait until you see what eventually happens to food prices. The price of diesel has been rising even faster than the price of regular gasoline, and fertilizer prices have been absolutely skyrocketing. Those costs will get passed along to the rest of us. It is just a matter of time. Meanwhile, our farmers are dealing with drought conditions that are unprecedented, and now a “Super El Niño” is coming.

What all of this means is that food prices will rise to very painful levels.

So even though everyone is complaining about rising gasoline prices at the moment, one prominent economist is warning that “the next story is food”…

Iran Sends Negotiators to Qatar, Complaining That U.S. Demands Are ‘Excessive’

Back & forth, down & around…. the Iranians are playing for time. It’s not so much that they are playing the Americans for fools, but the Americans lost momentum. Not going in and eliminating the regimes revolutionary guards enabled them to regroup, which defeats the purpose of the exercise.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are in Doha, Qatar, as of Monday for negotiations with neighboring states in the service of finalizing a peace agreement with the United States.

The visit follows a series of public statements from President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirming that Tehran and Washington have made progress in their negotiations towards peace. Both have cautioned that the two sides still disagree sharply on core issues remaining unresolved and that talks will take time to yield results, but the tone of their remarks indicated an optimism absent from previous attempts at ending the conflict.

  • President Donald Trump says he has instructed the negotiators “not to rush into a deal” with Iran since “time is on our side”, adding that the US blockade in the Strait of Hormuz “will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed”.
  • The threat of renewed war with Iran “still looms large”, according to Al Jazeera’s team in Washington, DC, as “the US president still leaves open the opportunity to launch military strikes”.
  • The development comes after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the next round of talks between the US and Iran would happen “very soon”.
