Maye Musk is a busy woman. As well as being the mother of the world’s richest man, she has been jetting between various glamorous events – many of them in China.
Maye Musk, however, is adored in the country that she claims to visit “nearly every month”. She has been described as his secret weapon in China – a well-placed figure who can bring goodwill for her son’s increasingly global business and political ambitions. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/25/the-rise-and-rise-of-maye-musk-chinas-love-affair-with-elon-musks-mother

"Originally promoted by an X account that goes by Librarian Mama, Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey came to the internet’s attention with a viral post. The account posted, “‘Oh, you've never read The Odyssey???’ Your timing is perfect. Emily Wilson's translation is the best one in literally ages, has that sweet iambic pentameter to give it a ‘bouncy’ feel, & makes dudebros cry that the classic has ‘gone woke’.”"

🇮🇱🏴☠️👉🇵🇸 DETAILS OF THE ISRAELI OPERATION TO BLOW UP PAGERS.
Two former officers of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad have revealed details of one of their large-scale special operations against the Hezbollah group in Lebanon. In an interview with the American television channel CBS News, they shared information about how Israeli specialists “embedded” explosives into communication equipment.
According to sources, the key element of the operation was pagers , which began to be developed back in 2022. The design of the device was designed in such a way that a sufficient volume of explosive materials could be placed inside the case.
Israeli intelligence agency Mossad conducted an entire operation to promote pagers capable of carrying explosive devices on the YouTube platform so that Hezbollah would pay attention to them and purchase them:
, - said a Mossad representative.
During this period, Mossad managed to sell about 16 thousand such devices through front men.

"The Dissident Right emerged in the 2020s as both an intellectual subculture and a growing counter-culture. This movement draws on a mix of pre-liberal traditionalism, conservative ideas, and anti-liberal revolutionary movements. Despite being small in number, its cultural influence is disproportionately large. Much of today’s popular internet culture, memes, and references trace back to this group’s shared spaces and forums. The Dissident Right is unique in that it is the only intellectual movement that directly opposes the entire framework of liberalism—whether left or right."

"I doubt I understood the concepts of honor and loyalty until I had lived in Britain for a year. During that time, someone told me not to exaggerate when promoting the organization I worked for. For the first time, I began to see that people wanted to speak the truth simply for the sake of truth. I had always known the word “truth,” but for the first time, I began to grasp its essence.

"Despite obvious safety signals including Pfizer’s own pharmacovigilance report showing 1200+ deaths[9] within first 2 month of mass vaccinations, thousands of death reports in VAERS, and millions of reported injuries in other government tracked databases like V-Safe[10], there were no recalls or investigations by the manufacturers or health agencies. Not a single health official “noticed” it, and furthermore, when questioned, mounted a wall of denial in response.
"Historically, a handful of reports of deaths associated with the use of the product is all that’s needed to initiate a pharmacovigilance action – a recall of a batch of product, investigation, or an entire product recall – all these measures are available and have been successfully used in a variety of product contamination and adulteration cases[11]. After thousands of deaths are recorded with the use of a product and no action is taken by anyone – manufacturer, regulators or law enforcement authorities, the situation should be considered intentional. The flat refusal to acknowledge deaths and injuries by the government officials and pharma companies signaled the intent. The intent to harm."
