- Syria's Resistance on the Rise -
Foiling the Plans of Global & Regional Powers
The battle of Aleppo began on the morning of November 27, 2024, in the western countryside of Aleppo with a widespread surprise attack on the positions of Assad's forces, breaking the long-standing silence. 3 Islamist factions participated: Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham – Jaish al-Izza – Ahrar al-Sham Islamic Movement (هيئة تحرير الشام – جيش العزة – حركة أحرار الشام الإسلامية). Bashar al-Assad's forces were overwhelmed and fled, leaving back even their tanks. The battle is the first of its kind in Syria since 2020, after Russia, Turkey and Iran agreed on de-escalation zones, such cementing their influence in 2019.
The timing of the operations may be related to the current involvement of Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah in a military conflict with Israel, while Russia is currently waging war with Ukraine which enjoys material support from its Western allies in Europe and the USA.
On the other hand, Turkey is increasingly suspected to support Syria's Assad regime in regaining control of northern Syria. This would most probably neutralize militant Kurdish tribes in Syria and would thereby help Turkey to get along with its own Kurdish population.
فُرص نجاح هذا المُخطّط الثّلاثي الأمريكي الإسرائيلي التركي الجديد لتفتيت سورية مجددًا، وتغيير النظام فيها في إطار سيناريو نتنياهو لإعادة رسم خرائط المِنطقة تحت العلم الإسرائيلي، تبدو محدودةً جدًّا، إن لم تكن معدومة، ولا نعتقد أنّ إيران وروسيا ستقفان مكتوفتيّ الأيدي تُجاهه لسببٍ بسيط، لأنّ هزيمة سورية ستكون مُقدّمة لهزيمة النّظامين الإيراني والروسي، وربّما العِراقي أيضًا.. والأيّام بيننا
The chances of success of this new US-Israeli-Turkish tripartite plan, to fragment Syria again and change the regime in it within the framework of Netanyahu's scenario to redraw the maps of the region under Israel's flag, seem very limited, if not non-existent, and we do not believe that Iran and Russia will stand idly by towards it for a simple reason: Because the defeat of Syria will be a prelude to the defeat of the Iranian and Russian regimes, and perhaps the Iraqi as well. And the days [for that have still to come ...]

The Grumbling of the Universe
Even the Universe is grumbling over what is happening on Earth .....
حتى الكون يتذمر مما يحدث على الأرض 就连宇宙也在抱怨地球上发生的事情 |

The Noise of a Black Hole recorded by NASA's X-ray Observatory |

What the Black Hole is trying to tell us ... |
“I believe the common denominator of the universe
is not harmony; but chaos, hostility and murder.”
“Facts do not convey truth. That is a mistake.
Facts create norms, truth creates illumination.”
“What would an ocean be without a monster lurking
in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.”
- Werner Herzog - The views of a German filmmaker.
This evaluation of the human condition is a perfect description of what many human beings are suffering from. In a world of chaos, hostility and murder, daily life can become a sequence of unbearable daily hardships that are turning human beings into mere animals fighting for their survival. One day your cynical view on the world will fall back on yourself, even if you cannot imagine for now the time and the circumstances. And there has never been an empire mighty enough to guarantee its subjects a peaceful and prosperous lifetime. - Ulysses -

Saudi-Arabia - Influence of a 'Decadent Western Culture'
Most recently, rumours spread in the Arab world hinting at a possible deal cut between Saudi crown prince Bin Salman and Israeli PM Netanyahu. Even influential media sources seem to be confused of what is happening in Saudi Arabia and equally pose the same question whether Bin Salman is handing over the land of the two mosques* to the Jews (هل سلموا بلاد الحرمين لليهود), thereby quoting a blatant blasphemic event that should have taken place in Riyadt. It is about some licentious party with half-naked dancers performing in front of a virtual model of the Kaaba.
*) 'land of the two mosques' = 'the city of Mecca'
At the same time, the Saudi regime imprisoned Sheikh Saleh Al-Talib, Imam and preacher at the Grand Mosque in Mecca in the aftermath of his last sermon that criticised the Saudi authorities. Yet there are Muslims in support of Sheikh Saleh, one of them saying that [Religious fight] is saying its word of truth in the presence of an unjust ruler (الجهاد قول كلمه حق عند سلطان جائر), thereby referring to the above mentioned dance party. Another comment on the subject even quoted the Holy Quran (17-16 سورة الإسراء الآية), revoking the destruction of Earth in the biblical Flood.
At least one commentator tries to give a serious explanation of what is happening in Saudi Arabia and what it means to the rather conservative Muslimic population of that country. It's not about light entertainment during the Riyadh festival, but rather about a social explosive:

After Trump's Election Win :
Israel Preparing for a Westbank Annexation
The demand of Israel's Minister Smotrich for a Westbank Annexation comes together with Trump's statement that he has already had three conversations with Netanyahu on security issues in the Middle East after he won the US Presidential Election 2024.
Here is an evaluation of a possible 'peace' deal between Trump and Netanyahu, posted on X by some Arab activist:
It is, as well, about an annexation of the Jordan valley by Israel in order to create a new buffer zone for security reasons between Israel and Jordan.

its traditional name of Allenby Bridge on the Israeli side, referring to
Edmund Allenby, British commander in Palestine (1917/18). After its
destruction, it was eventually rebuilt and named King Hussein Bridge
on the Jordanian side. The 1974 photo had been taken from the old
pedestrian bridge now left to decay.

US Presidential Election 2024
- Prediction Rigged by High-Score Betting -
Polymarket recently showed for the Republican candidate, former President Trump, a significant lead with a win rate of 60 percent; the Democratic candidate, Vice President He Jinli is 40 percent, which is very different from the traditional polls showing the situation of both sides.
Four accounts were reportedly paired with more than $30 million (around RM130 million) to bet on Trump’s big win, prompting speculation as Polymarket does not allow Americans to bet on U.S. elections.
Sources confirmed that Polymarket users are international users, and the company certifies all high-value traders to make sure they are not hiding their country through a VPN.It was not immediately possible to confirm that the four accounts were controlled by the same person or persons.

[Elon Musk on X quoting an external (!) post that refers to Polymarket]
美国总统大选:大笔资金操纵 — 预测市场上显示特朗普明显领先。 Polymarket投注者目前认为特朗普有65%的胜算,然而博彩和民调的预测不总是正确的。以希拉里·克林顿为例:在2016年大选她在博彩中领先特朗普。整个竞选期间她在预测和博彩网站上保持着优势。在最后几周她的胜算为80-90%。然而她失去大选。
US Presidential Election: Big Money Manipulation – Forecasts in the Market Show Trump Clearly Ahead. Polymarket bettors now believe Trump has a 65% chance of winning, but betting and polling predictions aren’t always right.Take Hillary Clinton, for example: She led Trump in the 2016 election.Throughout the campaign, she maintained an edge on predictions and betting sites.In the last few weeks, her odds were 80-90%. But she lost the election.

Election Carnival:
The Backstreet Candidate and His Yemeni Prince
On one assembly of pro-Republican voters where Donald Trump was expected to speeak, some curious guy of Arabic appearance emerged, presenting himself as the 'Prince of Yemen'.
This guy praised the ex-president in an excessive manner and begged him in English to take a group photo with him while cursing him in Arabic.
In reality, he is a comedian making fun of the Republican candidate. His account of @dullaamulla is shown in the video and can be found on Instagram. From there you can book him for any other funny event. His performance as Trump's cheerleader is more convincing than that of the candidate himself.
However, some Arabic users on X didn't understand the irony and seriously discussed the performance of that curious 'Prince' as the ill-mannered behaviour of a Yemeni politician currying favour with Trump in English while insulting him in Arabic.
And there are indeed ill-mannered guys in Yemen who are regularly sinking ships, allegedly related to Israel, with their self-made rockets and who don't even refrain from shooting their missiles in an unsuitable attempt to drown a US aircraft carrier, just to keep the Americans busy.
