🇸🇾 Report: Syria’s Open Slave Trade: Telegram Posts Reveal Shocking Human Trafficking Activity:
Disturbing evidence has surfaced exposing an ongoing slave trade in parts of Syria, particularly in areas that were — or still are — under the control of extremist groups. Encrypted Telegram channels are being used to openly facilitate the trafficking and sale of women and children, echoing the horrors of historical slavery in a modern setting.
One such chilling message reads:
“For sale: a 12-year-old, not virgin, slave. Very beautiful. In Raqqa. Price $13,000 — final price!”
Another official-sounding circular provides instructions for purchasing captives, demonstrating a shockingly organized system:
“To brothers wishing to purchase female captives: Register their names with the battalion or joint administrator… coordination will be made with the battalion commander. Anyone who does not register will not have the right to attend the ‘slave market.’”
The circular continues, detailing administrative procedures under a so-called “Marriage Office,” which appears to be a front for legalizing what is essentially human trafficking and sexual enslavement.
There are also growing reports of children being sold in these regions, some abducted, others handed over due to extreme poverty and social marginalization. Many families, unable to survive under current conditions, are forced to leave their children behind — making them easy targets for traffickers.

🇸🇾 Syria Update
The new Syrian regime continues to commit dayly crimes and kidnapings on the Syrian coast, amidst complete media silence that fails to convey even the bare minimum of what is happening there. In short why specifically the #Syriancoast?
The Syrian coast is considered a vital lifeline for the state, connecting it to the outside world through its ports. It is also a key economic, agricultural, and tourist region in #Syria, bordered by the sea and overlooking northern Lebanon
In addition, there is a motive of revenge and resentment toward the #Alawites and other Syrian minorities living on the Syrian coast. This means that killings are taking place solely for the sake of vengeance, though there are other reasons as well that concern the #Jolani regime (#HTS) and its foreign backers
1.Jolani wants the people of the Syrian coast to serve as an example for anyone who dares to oppose his regime—essentially, to deter and suppress the population and prevent them from objecting

2. Paving the way for his foreign backers by preparing the groundwork for establishing #pipelines on the Syrian coast to transport natural #gas from Qatar to Turkey and then to European markets (a project that Assad rejected 15 years ago, which was a primary reason for the war).
3. The Syrian coast overlooks northern #Lebanon from the #Tartous area, making it a strategically important location in case #Jolani or his backers wish to exert pressure, impose a blockade, or even "blackmail" #Lebanon.
4. Should Syria ever face a partition scenario, the Syrian coast would become a contested area among various countries vying for control (#Turkey-#Qatar, #Israel, #Russia, etc.).
By the way, yesterday, in a recent development, an Israeli official in the delegation accompanying Netanyahu to Hungary stated, "We will not allow the Turks to establish a presence in western Syria (the Syrian coast)."

The new Syrian Government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, at minimum, facilitated the murder of tens of thousands of Syrian civilians; at worst the army that serves al-Sharaa’s government has willfully participated in this genocidal slaughter. Mostly civilians of Alawite or Christian sects have been brutally murdered in their homes and on the streets of their villages.

🇵🇸Absolutely brilliant interview.
Israeli soldiers are given explicit orders to wipe out every living being in Gaza. In Rafah, 15 medics were executed, and the crime was hidden by burying their bodies and all evidence.
Israels disinformation playbook: Delay, deflect, deny... and no Israeli defence incomplete without an accusation of antisemitism!

🇵🇸 The Big Picture I tried to sue Trump. He sent ICE after me | Momodou Taal
This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we speak to Momodou Taal, a Cornell Unveristy scholar forced to flee from #US immigration officers.
Undercover agents belonging to the department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, #ICE for short, have been filmed arresting university students on campuses, in their homes and even in the middle of the street.
Some of those targeted as part of this nationwide sweep have attempted to appeal to the justice system - in Cornell university a group of academics and students launched a legal case against the Trump Administration.
At its centre is the case of Mamodou Taal, a British-Gambian PHD student whose home was then raided by ICE agents in an attempt to arrest him
After failing to get a judge to hear their case, Taal decided instead to leave the United States before he faces the same fate as Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk.

💉 Dollar suffers RECORD LOSSES IN 20 YEARS amid Trump's new tariffs
The key Bloomberg #Dollar Spot Index (BBDXY), which tracks the performance of a basket of 10 global currencies against the US dollar, tumbled as much as 2.1% earlier this week, Bloomberg News reports.
This became BBDXY’s sharpest intraday decline since its launch in 2005.
Almost all 10 currencies tracked by Bloomberg strengthened against the dollar, and the #euro rallied as much as 2.7%.
The #greenback’s dive comes against the backdrop of President #Trump’s recently announced new trade tariffs, which experts warned could “drive investors away from the #US and cause the dollar to [further] depreciate.”

…and here comes the Online Safety Act
The UK’s Online Safety Act officially came into force two weeks ago, and they have wasted no time using it.
Alternative social media network Gab has already been threatened with a massive fine for its supposed failures to “police speech” on its platform. Anecdotes are piling up, small forums and communities blocking access from the UK for fear of attracting OfCom’s ire and the like.
But rest assured, an OfCom spokesperson promised the Telegraph they would “only take action where it is proportionate and appropriate”. So that’s alright.

Hmeimim Airport, Lattakia | Propaganda & Forced Evacuations Amid Concern Over Civilian Safety
Verified reports from multiple sources confirm that “General Security” forces in Lattakia have begun attempts to forcibly evacuate civilians sheltering inside Hmeimim Airport. Families are reportedly being pushed onto buses against their will, despite their desperate resistance and overwhelming fear for their safety.
This all began when the Governor of Lattakia has requested the relocation of 22 families from the airport to Jableh. However, residents and activists argue that this so-called evacuation is, in fact, a coerced displacement — a dangerous transfer masquerading as a humanitarian measure.
Meanwhile, civilians inside Hmeimim Airport are refusing to leave, fearing for their lives if removed. Due to this, the "General Security" are staging scenes of voluntary departure to manipulate public perception.
Local sources insist that most families reject the notion of leaving and feel safe within the airport.

🇬🇧 72hr Survival Kit for the Empire of Delusion
Britain has officially gone full Monty Python, only this time, it’s not satire. The Daily Mail now wants every man, woman, and confused London pigeon to prepare a 72-hour survival kit… in case the “evil Russians” decide to pull the plug. Yes, because nothing says “serious threat” like a Swiss army knife and a tin of baked beans.
This is the same UK that torched its own energy sovereignty in a mad dash toward Net Zero, shuttering coal plants, outsourcing gas imports, and betting the farm on foreign pipelines. But when the lights start flickering? Blame Putin. Not the genius policymakers in Westminster. Not the suicidal austerity. Not the eco-dogmatism that turned a once energy-independent empire into a cold, trembling vassal.
What’s next? “Beware the Slav hiding in your radiator?” Maybe Bojo will emerge from his cave to blame his hair loss on Russian microwave attacks.
Even if Russia wanted to sabotage UK energy infrastructure, which it doesn’t, it wouldn’t need explosives. The Brits are doing a spectacular job imploding their own grid through mismanagement and ideological fanaticism. But funny the projection and almost guilt one can feel below the surface, the Brits know the US and NATO, aka the UK as well, blew up Nordstream in a terrorist attack. So they assume Russia would be plotting to pay them back.
But let’s be clear. This psy-op isn’t about prepping the public for sabotage, it’s about sabotaging public perception. Blame the external boogeyman. Distract from domestic decay. Prop up a rotting NATO narrative. Rinse. Repeat.
So pack your canned beans, comrades. Just don’t forget the real weapon isn’t in the pipeline. It’s in your television.

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy compiled a genealogical tree of Ahmed Al-Sharaa (Abu Muhammad al-Julani):
🟡 Among his ancestors were merchants and landowners, many of whom took part in the uprising against the French Mandate authorities in the first half of the 20th century;
🟡 cousin Farouk al-Sharaa (born 1938) is a high-ranking official under Hafez and Bashar al-Assad, serving as foreign minister (1984-2006) and then vice president (2006-2014);
🟡 Father Hussein al-Sharaa (born 1944) - Arab nationalist and renowned economist;
🟡 brother Hazem al-Sharaa (born 1975) - General Manager and Deputy CEO of Al Hayat - Pesi Group ; by decision of the new president, he is acting director of the Syrian Investment Agency;
🟡 brother Maher al-Sharaa (b. 1974) — a doctor, until 2023 he worked as a gynecologist in Voronezh, held the position of Minister of Health in the Syrian transitional government, and has now been appointed head of the General Secretariat (presidential administration).
🇸🇾 It is gratifying to see that the revolutionary Syrian leader comes from a very ordinary family and does not drag his relatives into power. Unlike the Assads.
