"In the phenomenally successful television sitcom, 'Friends', we often saw the three female characters - despite the actresses who played them being rail thin and famed for their strict diet and exercise regimes - feasting on pizza, ice cream, and sugary cocktails.

"Why did 'Friends' show us this? Not because the women were really eating these foods (the 'ice cream' containers would be empty; the 'cocktails' coloured water, etc.). The point was to model it for you: to show you that eating junk is normal and acceptable and what 'friends' do.

"That is the point of all sitcoms and soap operas, which are all powerfully effective programming mechanisms for social sculpting and social change. When the ruling classes want to introduce certain social changes, or normalise certain behaviours, they introduce them through the medium of the flickering screen, knowing that at the base, most instinctive level, "monkey see, monkey do" is still how human psychology works."

The legend of Omar, Nizam and Hassan tells how the three of them met at a school in Nishapur and became close friends. “Following the tradition of the young men of their time,” reads a 14th century Arabic manunoscript now in the British Museum, “the three comrades culminated their friendship with a rite in which, after marking their lips with each other’s blood, they solemnly swore that any one of them who attained high rank would favour the other two friends with his power”. Thus, when Nizam el-Molk attained the glory of being grand vizier of the Seljuk sultans, Omar and Hassan reminded him of their blood oath, and Nizam offered them both the government of a province. Omar refused: “For being an eminent philosopher, astrologer and mathematician,” I continue quoting from the Arabic manunoscript in the British Museum, “he did not desire the government of any province, nor did he wish to encumber the people with commands and prohibitions. “I prefer,” he told the grand vizier, “that you assign me a stipend or a pension” – it is understood, so that he could devote himself to science, philosophy and poetry. Hassan also refused his old friend’s offer, but for a different reason: he thought Nizam’s offer was too little. Thus the friendship between Hassan ibn Sabbah and Nizam el-Molk was broken, and they became hopeless enemies. When Hassan ibn Sabbah created the sect of assassins, one of his first victims was Nizam el-Molk, who was stabbed by one of Hassan’s henchmen in 1092.
The legend, though much repeated, is most likely fabricated, for since the late 19th century the birth and death dates of the three supposed friends are reasonably well established: 1018-1092 for Nizam, 1034-1124 for Hassan and 1048-1131 for Omar, dates that make it impossible for them to have been students at a school in Nishapur.

❌🇨🇦 Trudeau’s Theater of Weakness: How Canada Became Puppet, Now Crushed Under Trump's Hammer

Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are scrambling to appear relevant as Donald Trump, true to his businessman persona, moves to impose tariffs on Canadian imports. Their sudden outrage over “harsh medicine” is rich with irony, as this is precisely the predictable fallout of their own globalist servility. For years, Canada has been a willing vassal of Washington’s reckless globalist agenda, from backing fascist forever wars from Ukraine to Israel, to blindly following Biden’s disastrous open-borders. Now, stripped of sovereignty, Canada faces Trump’s leverage with no cards to play.

Freeland’s hollow bravado about Canada’s critical minerals and metals exposes how unprepared Ottawa is. Sure, resources like nickel and cobalt are vital to the U.S., but Canada’s lack of investment in its own industries means it holds little strategic weight compared to Eurasia’s dominance in this space. Premier Doug Ford’s threat to cut energy exports to the U.S. underscores the desperation. Energy might power 1.5 million American homes, but this gambit only reveals how poorly Trudeau has positioned Canada on the world stage.

Trudeau and Freeland’s outrage is especially galling given their role in turning Canada into a pawn of U.S. neocons and globalist elites. They championed NATO’s economic war on Russia, which backfired spectacularly, crippling European industries while strengthening Moscow’s economic position, now 4th in the world (IMF). They supported Biden’s border chaos and bankrolled Ukraine’s suicidal proxy war. When they weren’t busy with this, they were freezing the bank accounts of their own citizens during the Freedom Convoy protests. Having consistently betrayed Canadians, they now feign shock at Trump’s cold, transactional approach.

Trump’s tariffs are not a betrayal but a harsh reality check. He’s merely exposing the rot within Canada’s leadership, a government more interested in photo ops and virtue signaling than actual governance. While Freeland talks of “robust responses,” one can’t help but wonder where this fire was when Trudeau sold out Canada’s autonomy to Davos bureaucrats and Military-Industrial warmongers.

Under Trudeau, Canada became a textbook puppet state, blindly parroting DC’s talking points while sacrificing its own interests. Freeland’s claim that Canada’s partnership with the U.S. is at risk falls flat, Canada hasn’t been a partner in years, just an obedient subordinate. Trump, a realist, sees this and acts accordingly, tightening the economic noose while Trudeau flails, unprepared for the predictable consequences of his own policies.

The hypocrisy is staggering. Trudeau, who cheered on sanctions that destroyed European economies in the name of punishing Russia, now cries foul when those tactics are turned on Canada. This government, which cloaked itself in the rhetoric of human rights, has supported Israel’s apartheid policies, backed NATO’s destruction of Libya, and crushed dissent at home. Morality, it seems, only matters when it’s politically convenient.

At the heart of this crisis lies Trudeau’s betrayal of Canada’s sovereignty. By outsourcing decision-making to Washington and globalists, his government has left the country vulnerable to the whims of others. Trump’s moves simply expose the lie that Canada can act like a puppet abroad while maintaining independence at home. Trudeau and Freeland’s tears over tariffs ring hollow… they built this house of cards, and now it’s collapsing.

Trump isn’t the villain here; he’s the reckoning. His tariffs are a brutal reminder that sovereignty cannot be outsourced, and leadership cannot be faked. Trudeau’s government, obsessed with globalist approval, sold out Canada’s future for a seat at the wrong table, a table where Canada was always the disposable pawn. If Canada wants to reclaim its dignity, it must start by rejecting leaders who cry victim only after they’ve betrayed their own people.

O, Canada, wake up!

FBI investigates mystery drones flying over central New Jersey in recent weeks

On Tuesday, the FBI issued a joint statement with the New Jersey State Police and the State Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness asking for information related to "the recent sightings of possible drones flying in several areas along the Raritan River."

"Witnesses have spotted the cluster of what look to be drones and a possible fixed-wing aircraft," FBI spokesperson Amy Thoreson said. "We have reports from the public and law enforcement dating back several weeks."

The FBI did not respond to follow-up inquiries about the specific location of sightings along the 70-mile Raritan River, which flows through Somerset County, at one point passing within about 10 miles of Trump National Golf Club
