My friend @philipobaji.bsky.social and I have started a GoFundMe to help him raise funds for his important work on uncovering Russian atrocities across Africa. Philip does incredible work in a region that doesn't get the coverage it deserves. Please donate! www.gofundme.com/f/philip-oba...

Our new investigation is coming out soon, showing links between Turning Point UK and loyalist paramilitaries who can do murders for hire.

Damn good reporting from Haaretz. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Facial comparison tools (specifiek Microsoft's Azure Face) concluderen dat de kans dat dit klopt heeeeel erg klein is.

@debroervanroos.bsky.social NAV de laatste BOOS podcast, check het nieuwe Telegraaf-artikel van Wierd Duk, en let vooral op welke twee personen die in het artikel genoemd worden níet aan het woord komen. Feit dat de eindredactie dit goedgekeurd heeft en die kop erboven zet zegt heel wat.

Four years ago, for months every tiny little detail regarding Qatar's World Cup was analyzed, scrutinized, and criticized for days by every Western outlet. This year, stories like this one get a couple of minutes at most. Don't go telling me there's no double standards.

An absolutely terrible idea.

I hate to say it, but the French have been on a tear in recent months.

Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.

Ollie North shaking in his boots right now.

This report corroborates work done by me an my friends Justin Yarga and @philipobaji.bsky.social. Our investigation, Africa's Ghost Reporters, revealed a CAR-based Russian influence campaign was using non-existing journalists to spread disinformation in West Africa. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnez...

Van de 1100 Palestijnse burgers die vermoord zijn, is meer dan een kwart kind. Deze wetteloosheid wordt door Europa getolereerd en gefaciliteerd www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Qatar Energy will stop production of LNG, it announced just now. It comes following two alleged Iranian drone attacks on Qatari LNG production sites. QatarEnergy is the world's largest LNG producer.

Loving the people who say this bombing is all about liberating the wonderful freedom-living people of Iran…but who 5 seconds later will support a ban on taking any of those same Iranians as refugees on the basis that they are all violent terrorist Muslim fundamentalists.

It is possible to recognise the Iranian regime is hideous, murdering their own citizens, and ideally would be replaced by a more democratic government, and that the US bombing a city of millions is a bad thing and starting an illegal war is really bad. You don't have to support either government. 1/

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

Vandaag leerde ik dat Arnold Karskens een nieuw boek heeft. Het heet 'Lekker Kontje' en gaat over Willem Koning, de directeur van omroep Onbehoorlijk Nederland die 'non-actief gezet na valse klachten over grensoverschrijdend gedrag."

Trump slaps allies with Greenland tariffs. From Feb 1, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Finland face 10% on all exports. June 1, it jumps to 25%.

Dit verhaal wordt als schattig en lief gebracht, maar ik vind het eerder creepy en not done om een account voor iemand te beginnen en daar zonder consent videos op te plaatsen van die persoon.

Soldaat van Oranje alweer verlengd blijkbaar.

Reuters reporting that some US military personnel in Qatar's Al-Udeid airbase have to leave the base by tonight. Last year, a similar warning came ahead of an Iranian missile attack. This could be an indication the US is expecting an Iranian attack (maybe in response to a planned US strike?)

Google Earth has updated imagery of Southern Lebanon, showing the scale of destruction of towns and communities, in detail, after the IDF's operation in the region between Oct 2024 and Jan 2025. The imagery of this area is from 6 June, 2025.

'Denmark changes name of Greenland into Epstein Island so Trump stops talking about it.'

Absolute banger of a headline.

“Since this story was reported, Radio Dabanga has notified NPR that some funding streams outside the United States, including from the Netherlands' government and private donors, have continued to support the station, averting immediate danger of collapse.” Some good news at the start of 2026!

De columns van Schimmelpenninck hebben nu al effect.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...
