Hasbara (Hebrew הַסְבָּרָה) is pro-Jewish ZionismPROPAGANDA that Israel euphemistically call "public diplomacy." It includes mass communication, monetary influence, individual interaction with foreign nationals through social and traditional media, and cultural diplomacy. Organizations involved include the genocidally militant IDF and its Spokesperson's Unit, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and pro-Israel civil society organizations (think AIPAC). Zionist organizations historically called such efforts propaganda but found that name too revealing so have encoded it with a Hebrew term, wink-wink. More
June 29, 2025: (5,881,926 views) The period following World War I was marked by unresolved tensions from the Treaty of Versailles and the ineffectiveness of the League of Nations.
Economic devastation and a desire for national resurgence fueled the rise of totalitarian (authoritarian, strongman) regimes in Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and imperial Japan.
Our Nordic Brown Shirts will rule the world.
These Axis powers embarked on aggressive expansionist policies, including Protestant Christian German rearmament and territorial claims, Buddhist Japan's brutal conquests in Asia, and Catholic Italy's imperial ambitions in Africa.
The nominal democracies of Britain and France, weakened by their own economic woes and a reluctance to confront aggression, failed to halt these escalating conflicts.
This unchecked aggression, coupled with the strategic realignments like the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, ultimately set the stage for the outbreak of a global (world) war.

(Firstpost) Feb. 9, 2026: The 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy were meant to begin with celebration and spectacle, but the opening ceremony has instead triggered a storm of controversy.
Social media users accused organizers of displaying Satanic symbolism after a pentagram-like visual appeared during the show.
This comes just two years after the Paris 2024 opening ceremony faced backlash for its religious parody.
Are Olympic ceremonies drifting into unnecessary controversies? [Did Hitler ruin The Games for everyone in 1936 by having Nazi Germany host them, adding a great deal of pomp and circumstance with industrialized symbolism and grandeur worthy of ancient Rome and Greece?] And are these spectacles overshadowing the spirit of sport?
Rupha Ramani breaks down the outrage, the history of opening ceremony controversies, and explores if the opening ceremonies are setting the wrong tone for the event to follow.

Hey, can I be the next pope? - Get real, Don. - C'mon, Jorgie, who cares? Can I be Antipope?
(CBS News) April 26, 2025: Who will be the next pope? Here's a look at some of the top possible papal candidates as the cardinals prepare for the papal conclave (Latin for "with key," i.e., "behind locked doors"), which will take place in early May, likely after Cinco de Mayo. They promise to start on May 7, 2025.
Hungary is a landlocked Central European country not far from Italy (ancient Rome). Spanning much of the Carpathian Basin, it is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Ukraine to the northeast, Romania to the east and southeast, Serbia to the south, Croatia and Slovenia to the southwest, and Austria to the west.
Hungary lies within the drainage basin of the Danube River and is dominated by great lowland plains. It has a population of 9.6 million, consisting mostly of ethnic Hungarians and a significant Romani minority.
Hungarian is the official language; it is among the few in Europe that lies outside the Indo-European family of languages [13].
Budapest is the country's capital and its largest city, the dominant cultural and economic center [14, 15]. Prior to the foundation of the Hungarian state, various peoples settled in the territory of present-day Hungary, including the Romans, Celts, Huns, Germanic peoples, Avars, and Slavs.
Hungarian statehood is traced to the Principality of Hungary, which was established in the late 9th century by Álmos and his son Árpád through the conquest of the Carpathian Basin [16, 17].
King Stephen I ascended the throne in 1000 and forcibly converted his realm into a Christian kingdom.
The medieval Kingdom of Hungary was a European power, reaching its height in the Late Middle Ages [18]. MoreCould anyone from modern Hungary be reasonably referred to as a "Roman"? If so and such a person bore the name "Peter," that would make that man "Peter the Roman" for predictive purposes, making Saint Malachy close enough in his ancient prediction.
The funniest thing about the upcoming papal conclave is the FACT that anyone can be installed as pope. One only has to have been confirmed as a Catholic after First Communion, which doesn't actually mean one has to be a Catholic, just in official records. One could be confirmed now, before beginning. One could be the most popular kind of Catholic: Lapsed. Unlapse or say you're back. Oh, yeah, though -- most Catholics don't qualify. Boys only. It's an Old Boys' Club. It's the original corporation, all top-down hierarchy and a strict Patriarchy. Even though it can be anyone, the cardinals always pick a fellow cardinal. Go figure.
Prophecy of the Popes: Petrus Romanus (aka a dark skinned "Peter the Roman"?) Says who? Says Irish Catholic Saint Malachy: Prophetia Sancti Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus (the "Prophecy of Saint-Archbishop Malachy, concerning the Supreme Pontiffs")
Never mind the Virgin Mary. Like the name of a ship, most of which are by convention named after females, she's just for show. Anyway, it has already been decided, and this conclave business is all for show. Heard about the smoke? The color of it will tell if it's black or white. Isn't that a lovely imperial Roman custom? Who knew the Holy (See)Roman Empire (religious arm), as part of the Ring of Power and the Empire of the City, still ruled the world alongside Washington DC (military arm) and London's high-street (financial arm)?

Because there is no longer an Office of the Devil's Advocate in the Vatican like there used to be, even this questionable pope gets to be a saint at the drop of a hat if the next pope, Peter the Roman, wills it. Catholicism, it's not like it used to be.
Thank you, thank you... - Yeah, yeah, that was JD. Russia gets Crimea, period

The tall statues and 9-foot giants of Sardinia
The UnXplained: 9-foot skeletons found in Sardinia, Italy
(HISTORY) Is it possible that the bones and skulls of actual literal giants (from the "giants' grave") have been hidden from the public on purpose by the Smithsonian Institution (a consortium of museums with influence throughout the world)? Who knew Sardinia had a magic and otherworldly well in no way built by ancient Sardinians without advanced technology, mathematics, and help from otherworldly visitors, likely the giants mating with human women as recounted in their ancient lore? See more in this scene from Season 4, Episode 22, "Mysterious Monoliths."
There are also structures similar to the block-type giants' tombs on the nearby Island of Malta, in the United Kingdom [2], and in Menorca (naveta) [3]. More

Giants of Malta: Evidence the ancient builders are hiding underground
(The Why Files) Premiered May 30, 2024: Malta is an island rich with history and legends with mysterious megalithic structures that have puzzled archeologists for centuries.
These massive stone temples, some of the oldest in the world, seem almost impossible to have been built by prehistoric farmers.
But there's more lurking beneath the surface.
Legends say the Nephilim were the giant beings who constructed these incredible structures, and their descendants may still dwell underground today. WF?investigates the possibility of these giants, examining bones, elongated skulls, and mysterious hidden subterranean chambers called The Hypogeum.

Blue Zones refer to five specific places in California, Italy, Greece, Japan, and Costa Rica.
People in these 5 zones tend to live to about 100 years old, while maintaining their good health.
Dan Buettner grew up in Minnesota during the 1960s, where the Midwesterner was fed a high-carb diet of bright yellow macaroni and cheese and sweaty red dyed hot dogs [with their allowable minimum of cockroach limbs and rat feces] wrapped inside flaky croissants.
Greens, whole grains, olives, avocado, hemp-tofu
"We DIDN'T know better," he said.
But when the cyclist and storyteller started traveling around the world, and into the homes of people in locations where elders routinely live to see their 100th birthday in good health — the world's Blue Zones, as he calls them — he noticed something distinct about the ways that they were eating.
Soak and rinse them before cooking. Or sprout them. They become very digestible with no gas.
Beautiful elders: A troupe of singers and dancers in Okinawa, Japan, one of the world's five "Blue Zones," where people routinely live past 100 (Toru Yamanaka/AFP via Getty Images).
Like his own meal plans, they were all fairly high in carbohydrates, but these Blue Zone diets centered on carbs of a different kind.
"The four pillars of every longevity diet in the world are whole grains, greens, nuts, and beans," Buettner told Insider. "When you crunch the numbers, it's very clear that it's a 90% to 100% plant-based, very-high-carbohydrate diet. About 65% carbs, but not simple carbs like muffins and cakes — complex carbs." More
