The Uphill Journey to a BRICS Currency

"The South African government announced in May that discussions around setting up a common currency will be on the agenda of the BRICS summit in August. Calls for the bloc, made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, to work together to boost non-dollar trade have increased over recent months."

💔 One Eye for Gaza: Hannah Thomas and the Price of Speaking Truth

🖋️ By Malik Mukhtar 📍 ainnbeen.blogspot.com | 🗓️ June 29, 2025 She stood on the pavement—Hannah Thomas, lawyer, activist, former Greens candidate. She stood—holding no weapon, only a banner and a conscience. She stood—outside a factory that allegedly helps plate the steel for F-35 jets now raining hell on Gaza. And for that—Australian police slammed her to the ground. Now, she may never see from her right eye again. Let that sentence burn into your mind: “She may lose her sight—for standing against genocide.” 🇵🇸 In Gaza, Eyes Are Lost Forever In Gaza, there are no surgeons left for eyes. Eyes are buried beneath concrete. Eyes were starved shut. Eyes were blinded by phosphorus, smoke, dust. Children in Gaza have forgotten what it means to look up without fear. And still, the bombs fall. From October 7, 2023 to now, tens of thousands dead—many torn apart by American-made weapons, polished and prepped by foreign contractors. The livestream genocide has not stopped. The...

🕯️ The Day Tel Aviv Trembled: Iran’s Missiles and the Crumbling Illusion of Invincibility

By ainnbeen.blogspot.com For decades, Israel projected an image of invulnerability— a fortress powered by American billions , state-of-the-art missile defenses, and a myth of unmatched military precision. But in a chilling shift, that illusion is cracking. As Iranian missiles rained down on Tel Aviv, not through proxies but directly from Tehran, the world witnessed what was once unthinkable: the heart of Israel under direct attack, air-raid sirens wailing , embassies shuttered , and diplomats fleeing. This isn’t just a military development —it’s a political earthquake . And it exposes deep fractures in Israel’s defense doctrine, regional strategy, and perhaps most importantly —its belief that it could strike without consequence. 🔥 1. Iranian Missiles Hit Tel Aviv: The Strike That Shattered Complacency In what appears to be retaliation for Israel’s continuous sabotage campaigns — nuclear facility strikes , assassinations of IRGC commanders — Iran unleashed a salvo...

🇮🇱🎭 When Israel Speaks, America obeys: From Truman’s Nod to Trump’s Prayer Rug 🇺🇸🛐

By Ainnbeen.blogspot.com Welcome to the Middle East’s longest-running tragicomedy: " The Chosen Puppet Show." From 1948 to 2025 , it’s been a masterclass in manipulation. But don’t take my word for it—just ask Israel’s most recent “ambassador” to Washington, Mike Huckabee , who now speaks not just for Israel, but apparently for God Himself. Yes, you read that right. In a message that sounds more like a Sunday sermon than a diplomatic dispatch, Huckabee called Trump “ the most consequential president in a century – maybe ever.” And why? Because he’s listening to “the voice of God”...on Israel policy . Oh, we’re doing this again. Because when Israel wants billions in weapons, moral cover for war crimes, or a fresh round of sanctions against whichever Muslim country is next on the hit list—there’s always a “divinely inspired” American president standing by. Let’s rewind a bit. 🎬 Scene One: The Truman Trick In 1948, President Harry Truman recognized Israel eleven...

🛡️ Israel's Air-Defense Under Pressure: A Rising Iranian Hypersonic Threat

🛡️ Israel’s Iron Dome May Hold—But for How Long? As Iran expands its missile arsenal with supersonic and hypersonic capabilities, Israel’s once-famed air defense now faces a triple crisis: strategic, economic, and societal . While the world watches air battles unfold in the skies, the deeper vulnerabilities lie beneath—in the nation's fatigued population, overstretched military, and fragile economic base. 🚨 Strategic Threat: The Iranian Hypersonic Surge Iran reportedly maintains over 3,000 ballistic missiles , including: Fattah-1 & Fattah-2 : Hypersonic glide vehicles (Mach 13–15+). Khorramshahr-4 & Qassem Bassir : With maneuverable warheads and terminal speeds that can overwhelm Israel’s Arrow and David’s Sling systems. Thousands of SRBMs (Zolfaghar, Qiam, Fateh variants) capable of saturating Iron Dome through sheer volume. While Israel’s Iron Dome remains highly effective against traditional threats (85–90% interception rate), hypersonic missiles introd...
