Brits should read this ⬇️ exchange between Epstein and Thiel.
Epstein explicitly mentioned Brexit as a successful step to destabilize societies in order to create profit opportunities.
This email between #Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor fascist Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves.
Epstein and Thiel also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together. Russia carried out successful hybrid warfare operations against the United Kingdom (Brexit) and the United States (Trump-for-President) in 2016.

"Kids between 12 and 15 spend 4 to 5 hours daily on Tiktok."
140 million users in the European Union alone.
Tiktok sure is an abomination but one must ask as well why parents and grandparents are so busy that they can't properly engage with their own kids. The cost of living crisis made of Tiktok a convenient child minder. Same with Youtube, on that regard.

"Solar generates record 13% of EU electricity in 2025"
#EU #Europe #EuropeanUnion #SolarPower #Energy #Renewables
pv-magazine.com/2026/01/23/sol…
EU solar generation increased by over 20% for the fourth year running in 2025, with its share in the energy mix surpassing coal and hydro. For the first time in history, solar and wind generated more energy in the EU than fossil fuels.Patrick Jowett (pv magazine International)
And that’s how we end up at identity and login provider #Eurosky. Their aim is to quickly ramp up to millions of users across #Europe.
Coming out of an apparently failing global attempt (freeourfeeds.com, where they try to collect 30 million US dollar) they refocussed on Europe and now aim to collect 15 million euro.
As there’s no real business model I suspect they hope to get #EuropeanUnion funding, or grants from large organisations.

My friends, I urgently need your support.
I have completely run out of my iron medication, and my health condition cannot tolerate any delay, so I urgently need $50 to purchase it.
I also need an additional $50 to buy my father’s heart medication.
Your support truly means life to me during this difficult time, and I am deeply grateful for your help.💔🚶

Germany and Italy are the latest countries to reject Donald Trump's invitation to his "Board of Peace," citing their nations' constitutions as the reason. Spain, France, the U.K., Sweden and Norway had already declined the offer, while Trump withdrew his invitation to Canada on his Truth Social platform yesterday. Here's more from @POLITICOEurope. At the second link, find NBC's breakdown of who's in, who's out, and who's on the fence.

Chuzpe (nicht im hebräischen Sinne gemeint) gegenüber Imperialisten ist leider nicht unsere Stärke.
... erstmal warten, wie das Echo im Volk ist, dann diskutieren, und dann irgendwann, wenn jeder mit Verstand bereits enttäuscht von der (ausgebliebenen) Reaktion unserer VolksvertreterInnen ist, gibt es vielleicht einen leisen Protest.
Dabei ist die Sachlage eindeutig!
Charles de Gaulle:
„Staaten haben keine Freunde, nur Interessen.“
In der Konsequenz steht Europas Kleinstaaterei vor der Frage des Seins oder Nichtseins im Einsatz für eigene Interessen.
Oder frei nach Victor Hugo:
"Keine Grenzen mehr! Rhein, Elbe, Oder, Donau, ... für alle! Seien wir die gleiche Republik, seien wir die Vereinigten Staaten von Europa, seien wir die Föderation des Kontinents"
Umfrage was ist nun besser?

Dänemark will noch in seiner EU-Ratspräsidentschaft die Chatkontrolle. Mehr als seine Vorgänger macht das Land Druck auf die Mitgliedsstaaten, die in den vergangenen Jahren eine Sperrminorität gebildet haben. Frankreich ist schon eingeknickt, Deutschland wankt.
Bald schon könnten Behörden die Verschlüsselung unserer Chats umgehen und auch gesendete Bilder auswerten.
Am 12. Oktober stimmen die Innenminister der EU-Mitgliedsstaaten über das dänische Überwachungsprojekt ab. Von Innenminister Dobrindt fordern wir: Deutschland muss weiter für eine überwachungsfreie Kommunikation in Europa einstehen, Deutschland muss gegen eine Massenüberwachung unserer Chats stimmen.

The #US imposes 30% of #UStariffs to the #EuropeanUnion. According to Politico, the Commission is ready to retaliate. EU OS believes that a European response with Tariffs on US BigTech services (or all services that face trade deficits) would make so much more sense if the EU had alternatives for those in place. This is why #EU_OS, #EuroStack and #DigitalSovereignty is important. It offers more leverage.
