World War 3 in 2025? Secret Predictions from Intelligence Experts
World War 3 in 2025? Secret Predictions from Intelligence Experts The wind of war doesn’t always begin with fire—it starts with whispers. Quiet leaks. Subtle shifts. Hidden alerts that most civilians never notice. But intelligence experts? They see the storm long before the clouds arrive. In shadowy corners of military rooms, encrypted emails, and confidential strategy documents, one chilling phrase has started to appear again and again:

What I Learned Growing Up in a Cult. Top Story - June 2025.
Earlier this week I was talking to a coworker about life. After a while, we somehow got on the subject of religion. I had to explain that I have an aversion to most organized forms of religion, having been raised in a church that at the time was very cult-like, and later after a split, the faction that stayed with the original leader went full cult. But that begs the question.

The Fear That Shapes Us
“In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell e World on Edge It begins in silence. A mother turns off the news and looks at her child differently. A father locks the door, not from robbers, but from headlines. An elderly man walks past a newspaper stand and mutters, “They’re lying again.”

New Leader with New Plans for Africa: Ibrahim Traoré
In the heart of West Africa, a quiet revolution is gaining momentum — not through riots or hashtags, but through the determined will of a 36-year-old military captain turned head of state: Ibrahim Traoré, the interim president of Burkina Faso. At an age when most world leaders are barely entering politics, Traoré has emerged as a powerful symbol of sovereignty, anti-colonialism, and youth-driven change. His refusal to accept a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), his unapologetically skeptical stance toward Western involvement in Africa, and his fierce commitment to African independence have made him not only a hero to many Africans but a subject of concern in Western diplomatic circles. But what makes Ibrahim Traoré so fearless — and why is he capturing the imagination of an entire continent?

US–Iran Standoff: Can Diplomacy Prevail?
The smell of fresh bread lingered in the Tehran air as Roya stepped out of the bakery, her young son tugging on her scarf and asking if America was going to bomb them. She paused, unsure of how to answer. Thousands of miles away in Washington D.C., Daniel, a U.S. Navy veteran, sipped his coffee as he read headlines warning of a possible escalation in the Persian Gulf. He shook his head and muttered, “Not again.”

Bitcoin vs Open Interest Should traders be worried by THIS divergence
The price action of Bitcoin has recently been scrutinized, but savvy traders are also paying attention to something even more telling: a significant divergence between open interest in Bitcoin and its price. The derivatives market may be sending a cautious signal while the spot market maintains its optimism. Analysts are concerned about this divergence, which raises the question of whether traders should be concerned. Understanding what open interest actually entails is essential before delving into its ramifications. The total number of unresolved derivative contracts in the futures and options markets is referred to as open interest. It shows how much activity and participation there is in the market. An increase in open interest typically suggests that new money is flowing into the market, which can reinforce a trend. A decline could indicate that traders are closing positions, which could indicate indecisiveness or exhaustion of the trend. The price of Bitcoin has been either steady or showing signs of rising, hovering in bullish territory above key support levels in recent weeks. However, open interest in Bitcoin futures has not followed suit. In fact, in several instances, open interest has dropped or stagnated while prices climbed—a classic divergence.

It’s the Racism, Stupid
The Tea Party’s Legacy and the Rise of MAGA As I watched the “No Kings” protests unfold this Flag Day, I thought of how many opportunities we Americans had to stop the current fascist regime if only we’d had the courage to call out our festering racism earlier. Instead, the people who don’t think like the fascists but benefit from looking like the fascists didn’t hold them accountable. This is especially true for the eight years of Barack Obama's presidency, from 2008 through 2016. The election of the first Black president of the United States caused a tidal wave of white backlash that brought fascism to our shores.
