🟣HOW I ORANGE-PILL BARBERS:
🔸 Fee: $25. I hand him $20 and say, “I don’t have the right change, but I can pay you $10 in #Bitcoin. It’s fast, easy, and way better than cash.” 🔸 He looks hesitant. I reassure him: • “You don’t need an ID, a picture, or anything complicated. Give me 2 minutes, and I’ll show you.” 🔸 I guide him to download BlueWallet, Aqua, or Blink. • 1 minute later, the app is ready. I send the payment and explain what’s happening as the Bitcoin lands in his wallet.
By now, he’s curious. “What else can I do with this?” • I explain the seed phrase, custody, and how he can attract more customers. • “Bitcoiners will love paying you directly.”
Then it happens: 🔸 Half the time, he notices the Lightning icon. I grab my phone, send him an instant tip on Lightning, and his face lights up when he sees how fast it is.
Suddenly, the conversation shifts. He’s asking more questions, excited to learn.
Every barber, every chance, every conversation—it matters.
NEVER STOP ORANGE-PILLING. NEVER STOP TRYING.

BUT NO ISRAEL DID NOT COMMIT GENOCIDE!
BREAKING: The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant, charging them with crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.
The ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber I rejected earlier challenges from #Israel, asserting jurisdiction over the Situation in the State of #Palestine. The Chamber found “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu and Gallant intentionally deprived Gaza’s civilians of essential survival items, including food, water, medicine, fuel, and electricity—part of a widespread and systematic attack on civilians.
♦️These charges now mean Netanyahu and Gallant are effectively unable to travel to over 120 ICC member states, where they risk arrest and extradition to The Hague.
Since #Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023, nearly 44,000 Palestinians have been reported killed, with over 103,000 injured. Experts suggest the true death toll may be far higher—possibly over 200,000 lives lost.
Is this the beginning of accountability?

In bed thinking about this and I’d like your feedback.
When a nation-state becomes a patchwork of cultures, histories, and identities, but lacks the courage to embrace a unifying ideology like multiculturalism, the outcome is not harmony. It is fracture. Without a shared framework for coexistence, diversity becomes a battlefield, not a strength.
In this vacuum, fear takes root. Communities withdraw into themselves, carving out enclaves of isolation. The “us versus them” mindset flourishes. Mistrust deepens. Stereotypes harden. And in the absence of a collective narrative, the very fabric of the nation begins to unravel.
This is the price of ignoring the work of unity. Diversity alone does not create strength—just as a mosaic without grout crumbles under pressure. A nation can only endure if it chooses to weave its differences into a single story, one that celebrates every voice without erasing any.
But if it doesn’t? History teaches us what follows: polarization, division, and ultimately collapse.
What nation did you think of as you read this?

🚨 BREAKING: After 40 years of imprisonment, Georges Abdallah—the longest-held political prisoner in Europe—is set to be freed on December 6, 2024.
His release comes with a condition: exile from France. Georges’ fight for justice and liberation has been shaped by decades of resilience, surviving immense international pressure from American and European authorities determined to keep him behind bars. His story is one of unbreakable resolve and resistance.
From his Lebanese roots, Georges rose to lead the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions, confronting the occupation of Lebanon and the supply chains fueling Zionist expansion. Convicted under highly contentious charges in 1987, his imprisonment became a tool for state repression—his mere existence, even at 72 years old, a testament to the power he holds to inspire global resistance.
The fight for Georges’ freedom laid bare the deep-rooted connections between state power and imperialist agendas. Even approved release requests—like in 2013—were snatched away by American intervention, revealing a fear of what he represents: unwavering commitment to justice and the potential to mobilize the masses.
In Georges’ words: “Comrades, let us be vigilant and prevent the Zionist criminals from annihilating the revolutionary heroes in captivity! May a thousand solidarity initiatives flourish for the sake of Palestine and its glorious resistance!”
As December 6th nears, this is a reflection on Georges’ struggle, and our collective duty to uphold the vision for freedom and justice. Yet the timing of this announcement is questionable. Are the French trying to play the card of his release for something related to the war of Zionist #Israel on Lebanon?

🚨85% of Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Blocked by Brutal Strangulation
The crisis in #Gaza is beyond critical: 85% of aid requests denied or delayed in October, leaving over 1.9 million people displaced, with only a handful of small, collapsing basic hospitals. #UN food and health missions barred as relentless assaults escalated in early November. Daily aid shipments have been choked from 500 trucks to a mere 37.
DEATH TOLL IN GAZA FROM THE ONGOING ISRAELI #WAR ON THE STRIP SINCE OCTOBER 7, 2023: 🩸 43,736 CIVILIAN MARTYRS 🩸 103,370 INJURED

📰 ☕ The FBI just raided Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan's home, seizing his devices in what they're calling an investigation into election betting. But let’s be real—this raid comes right after #Polymarket accurately predicted the U.S. presidential election results. Definitely a coincidence on the timing.

🎁Israel’s ‘Gift’ to Trump? A Desperate Ceasefire Wrapped in Failure
A ‘ceasefire gift’ to #Trump? No, it’s a desperate scramble by #Israel after a series of failures. Their ground invasion of #Lebanon—like the debacle in #Gaza—has laid bare their military limits. Israeli soldiers, unable to hold any Lebanese village, retreat after hours just to take selfies photos and propaganda videos, wiring homes with explosives and resorting to distant bombardment to avoid devastating close combat losses. Meanwhile, the Lebanese resistance has grown stronger, with missiles, rockets, and capable untraceable drones striking daily. The 70,000 Israeli troops stationed at the border are tired and feeling useless. Israeli soldiers themselves have published videos showing resistance forces launching ballistic missiles from just feet away—a reality that dismantles Israel’s claims of having ‘invaded’ southern Lebanon and neutralized its opposition.
The #military Israeli toll is undeniable: over 100+ soldiers killed, 1,000+ wounded, 43 Merkava tanks destroyed, 8 bulldozers eliminated, 2 Hummers lost, and 6 advanced drones (4 Hermes 450 and 2 Hermes 900) shot down. In a desperate attempt to control the narrative, Israel has imposed strict media #censorship, banning border coverage to hide their failures.
But this war has not only exposed #military limitations—it’s become economically unsustainable. Israel’s total war-related costs are projected at $55.6-67.3 billion through 2025, or roughly 10-12% of its #GDP, with potential lost economic activity estimated at $400 billion over the next decade. The economy contracted by 20% in the final quarter of 2023, with annual growth plunging to 2% from a pre-war high of 6.5%, and forecasts for 2024 revised to just 1.5%.
Trade and commerce have collapsed, with exports dropping by 18.3% and imports by 42%. Private consumption has fallen by 26.9%, and business investment has collapsed by 67.8%. The labor market is strained, with 300,000 reservists mobilized, the loss of 160,000 Palestinian workers, and an expected closure of 60,000 Israeli businesses due to labor shortages. Israeli Government spending surged by 88.1% to cover war expenses, driving the budget deficit to a projected 6.6-7.5% for 2024. Defense leaders have requested an additional $5.39 billion annually. In response, Fitch downgraded Israel’s credit rating from A+ to A with a negative outlook, echoed by Moody’s and S&P.
Yet Israel, along with its #AIPAC sponsored patron, the U.S., can simply print their way out of such economic losses by creating money out of thin air—a privilege that sustains wars and aggression far beyond their natural limits. This is precisely why resistance and #Bitcoin represent the only two true checks on such imperial overreach. The resistance imposes direct costs through military and strategic means, while Bitcoin stands as an incorruptible alternative to fiat-based inflation, making unchecked money creation more costly and ultimately less sustainable. Aggression only stops when the cost of continuing exceeds the cost of ending it—and resistance ensures that day comes sooner.
For a state built on projecting strength to attract citizenships, the reality is clear: Israel’s military failures and economic collapse expose a state weakened by its own ambitions. The resistance has proven to be the only barrier to Israel’s expansionist historical dreams—symbolized by the two blue stripes on its flag, representing expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates. Israel’s attempt to promote settlement narratives in #Lebanon and teach its children that South Lebanon is ‘rightfully theirs’ through a new children’s book reveals the depth of this ambition. Without resistance, #Netanyahu would continue provoking #Tehran, baiting a retaliation against Tel Aviv, to justify attacks on #Iran’s nuclear facilities and drag the U.S. into another war even at a global economic cost—all in pursuit of the ‘Greater Israel’ agenda.
So, Israel’s ‘gift’ to Trump? A crumbling ceasefire plan—offered not from strength, but because it can no longer afford the cost of its imperial ambitions.
