⚠️ France was ONE STEP AWAY from stripping its citizens of PRIVACY — Telegram CEO Pavel Durov raises the alarm
Telegram’s Pavel Durov is warning about rising EU-style authoritarianism after French lawmakers pushed a chilling law last month to FORCE BACKDOORS INTO encrypted messaging apps — a move that could’ve shattered digital privacy for millions.
💬 "Luckily, it was shot down by the National Assembly. Yet 3 days ago the Paris Police Prefect advocated for it again," Durov warns.
💬 "It’s technically impossible to guarantee that only the police can access a backdoor. Once introduced, a backdoor can be exploited by other parties — from foreign agents to hackers,” he explains.
💬 "The battle is far from over. This month, the European Commission proposed a similar initiative to add backdoors to messaging apps," Durov stresses.

🇨🇦👋 Bye US, hello EU: Canada to join the bloc?
Forty-four percent of Canadians have said that they support the idea of joining the EU, while a mere 34 percent oppose it, according to Abacus Data. Another broader question on general support for joining the bloc saw an impressive 46 percent approval.
Ottawa “has THE RIGHT VIBE FOR BRUSSELS,” European media has reported. Clearly, with destabilizing tariffs, immigration issues, and soaring prices, Canada is exactly what the EU needs.
While Canada joining the EU may seem outlandish, it’s not entirely impossible:
🔴Brussels was “honored with the results of such a poll,” the European Commission’s chief spokesperson noted.
🔴“Legally and formally, a European state isn’t exactly defined, and if we look to the past, we've had states in Europe that weren’t even on the continent,” said a professor of EU external democracy support at Maastricht University, also referring to Canadians as “SPECIAL EUROPEANS, in a way.”
🔴“Canada would certainly qualify,” said a professor of European politics at ETH Zurich, explaining that Canada is “probably closer to European values, institutions, and policies than many of the current candidate countries.”

🚨EXPOSING KLAUS SCHWAB'S GLOBALIST AGENDA
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is where global elites make decisions that affect everyone, without democratic oversight.
Now, its ex-head Klaus Schwab is at the center of the ‘Great Reset’ — an initiative launched in 2020 to tackle the COVID-19 economic fallout.
In reality, it’s a cover-up for a massive restructuring of the global economy to benefit the ultra-wealthy👇
🤔 The Elite Takeover
Schwab’s “stakeholder capitalism” is code for corporate dominance disguised as fairness. Big corporations get the power, while the rest of us are left fighting over scraps.
⚠️ Social Engineering
Schwab envisions a new social order where elites control technological infrastructure, including AI, surveillance, and data.
This may result in greater surveillance, loss of privacy, and a more controlled society:
*Smart cities: to track everything you do
*Universal Basic Income (UBI): to keep you docile & dependent on the state
*Automation: to replace jobs, leaving millions unemployed & vulnerable
❗️Global Ideas Over National Sovereignty
Schwab’s ideas foster a system where decisions are made by unelected global elites and supranational institutions (e.g., the UN, the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank) bypassing national sovereignty to tackle issues like economic instability, climate change, and health crises.
National interests are subordinated to international interests.

🚨💸Trump’s trade war jeopardizes America’s financial dominance
Rising volatility and a weakening dollar are sparking fears of a financial realignment away from the US, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A looming “CAPITAL WAR” with volatility in Treasury markets is also pushing the US towards higher borrowing costs.
For years, Washington has relied on its financial primacy to attract trillions in foreign investments, but this long-standing dominance is seemingly at risk.
“The Trump administration appears to be hellbent on DIMINISHING THE DOMINANCE OF THE DOLLAR. I don’t think it’s being done consciously,” the report cited a former senior Fed economist.
🌟💰Historic milestone: Gold price surpasses $3,400 per ounce

Trump cracks down on Harvard with $1 BILLION funding slash
As part of its ongoing battle with the university, the White House sent a list of demands, including federal oversight of the university’s admissions, hiring practices, and the ideological stance of students and staff, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Trump officials reportedly believed the list they sent last Friday was meant to be a confidential starting point for negotiations. However, they were caught off guard when Harvard made it public.
Harvard’s decision to go public has put the assigned task force in a very different situation compared to that of Columbia, which reportedly quickly agreed to the demands in an effort to recover $400 million in federal funding.
