Iran just drew a hard red line on US bases ⚠️

📰 Iran’s UN ambassador warned in a letter to the UN Secretary-General that if the US launches attacks, American bases, facilities, and assets in the region would be considered “legitimate targets.”

🌍 The warning comes as Washington ramps up military pressure over Iran’s nuclear program—while Tehran insists it’s not pursuing a bomb and says it still prefers diplomacy.

Supreme Court just blew up Trump’s tariff plan—so he’s hitting the reset button ⚖️

📰 A 6–3 Supreme Court ruling said Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs were illegal under the emergency-powers law he used, immediately shaking up the US trade playbook.

🌍 Trump fired back, blasting the justices and saying he’ll impose a new 10% “global tariff” under a different law that allows short-term tariffs—moves that could ripple through prices, jobs, and supply chains worldwide, especially across the Global South.

📉 With talk of refunds to importers, the next fight may be about who really pays—and who really wins.

🔥 If tariffs raise costs globally, should the US be able to flip that switch unilaterally—yes or no?

Macron just invited Lula to the G7—are we finally seeing the “Global South” get a real seat at the table? 🌍

📰 Reuters reports France’s President Emmanuel Macron has invited Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to attend the G7 summit in June in France.

🤝 The invite came after the two leaders met on the sidelines of an AI summit in New Delhi, where they discussed big-ticket global issues like peace and security.

🌎 For BRICS audiences, Brazil showing up in G7 rooms raises a bigger question: is this inclusion—or just optics while decisions stay the same?

🔥 Should the G7 meaningfully share power with BRICS leaders like Lula, or is this just a photo-op?

US-Japan Bomber Drills Heat Up Over East China Sea ✈️

📰 The U.S. Air Force and Japan Air Self-Defense Force conducted joint tactical exercises this week featuring four American B-52 bombers alongside Japanese F-15, F-2, and F-3 fighters over the Sea of Japan and East China Sea.

🌍 The drills aim to strengthen alliance readiness, deterrence, and commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific amid a severe regional security environment.

🌏 For BRICS and Global South voices, these moves spotlight how great-power military posturing in Asia can ripple into trade routes, economic stability, and sovereignty concerns for developing nations worldwide.

🔥 Do these US-Japan alliances truly safeguard regional peace, or do they risk pulling Global South countries deeper into escalating rivalries?

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Chinese military spokesperson:

“America is addicted to wars; in more than 240 years, it has experienced only 16 years free of conflicts.

With 800 military bases abroad distributed across more than 80 countries and regions, its global military presence is clear evidence of that.”

University of Iowa officers responding to a fire alarm on November 15, 2024 walked into the University of Iowa’s Alpha Delta Phi house and found pledges mid-hazing ritual that looked more like a chaotic endurance test – the now surfaced footage shows

Joseph Gaya, 21, from Riverdale was arrested for blocking access to the scene, though the charges were later dropped in November 2025

The university handed the chapter a four-year suspension through 2029, while the national Alpha Delta Phi organization revoked its charter, citing hazing involving more members than initially disclosed

‘Character building’ they said

🚨😶 Exposed: OpenAI & Persona spy on users for US gov’t - Report

KYC provider Persona and OpenAI stand exposed as secret AI surveillance pipelines, funnelling user data straight to the US government, according to new research by Vmfunc.

Code references uncovered include intelligence codenames Project SHADOW and Project LEGION — names that belong in a Pentagon briefing.

OpenAI users submit to biometric tracking, political screening, and intelligence reporting.

🤳 Your selfie = Their watchlist

▪️Persona’s government dashboard—2,456 files, totaling 53 megabytes—was fully exposed on a FedRAMP‑authorised endpoint.

▪️Anyone could access source maps showing how the platform automatically files Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) directly to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the US Department of the Treasury.

▪️A Shodan search revealed a Google Cloud instance with a revealing hostname: openai-watchlistdb.withpersona.com

▪️Certificate logs show it went live in November 2023.

▪️OpenAI has been reportedly running separate, fully compartmentalised watchlist screening systems for over two years.

🙅‍♂️ Checks you never knew about

▪️The codebase revealed 269 verification checks running silently.

▪️They include SelfieSuspiciousEntityDetection — facial recognition comparing you against global politicians.

▪️SSA deceased person lookups confirm whether you're alive enough to be suspicious.
▪️User data gets tagged SHADOW and LEGION before SARs are filed.

▪️Persona's own case study confirms OpenAI screens users across 225 countries.

▪️OpenAI can programmatically retrieve your documents via API. Your face scans are stored for three years—far longer than the publicly stated one-year retention—and once captured, this data is used broadly across systems.

😎 ONYX connection

▪️ONYX on Persona’s server—the same AI surveillance tool used by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), reportedly costing $4.2 million, researchers found.

▪️ONYX can scrape over 300 platforms, analyse emotional sentiment, calculate risk scores from 28 billion data points, and flag individuals for ‘violent tendencies.’ It’s now tied to ChatGPT logins.

💸 Crypto wallets watched

▪️Persona allegedly shares cryptocurrency addresses with Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the US Department of the Treasury bureau.

▪️Passport photos, selfies, and Bitcoin wallets are now linked in a government database, monitored through Chainalysis.

If you've used OpenAI, Reddit, Roblox, or Discord, your face and biometrics are fully exposed to the government.
