Thank God this EPL season is over. It's not the lower half finish that bothers me, it is the dire, dull football Newcastle has played. Also, 27 points lost from winning positions🤦‍♂️. FULNEW At least the Bucaneers rule supreme here..

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 236 of The Continent Geopolitics is contested with narratives as much as bombs. In Iran, journalists risk prison or worse for working with foreign outlets. One writer, under a pseudonym, explains why they persist. bit.ly/236_TC

This is the cover for Issue 226 of The Continent. At the very top, a yellow banner reads: “African Journalism | 25 April 2026 | Issue 236.” Below it, the title The Continent appears in large white letters against a dark, smoky background. Centered on the page is the headline: “Reporting from blacked-out Iran.” The main image shows a bleak, damaged landscape. In the foreground are burned-out vehicles: a charred truck, a tanker, and a wrecked car. All the vehicles sit on a rough, debris-strewn road. The vehicles are blackened and rusted, as they’ve been destroyed by fire or an explosion. Behind them are leafless trees and a low wall, with thick grey smoke rising into a dark sky. In the bottom corner, there’s a photo credit: “Photo: AFP.”

Totally agree with this. If anyone thinks NUFC is any kind of priority for PIF, Saudi or even maybe the Ruebens at this point they need their bumps felt.We may well be scraping along for a number of years, rather than any kind of rebuild/development. Strap yourselves in for another bumpy one.

Gramsci ZA @gramsci.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

I think Newcastle is the least of PIF's concerns. PIF's financial base is literally on fire. NUFC - due to the size of the PIF stake and Saudi sourced sponsorships - is likely facing some choppy waters. Trump's war is going to mess English football; us and Man City are going to feel it first.

European football must be braced for a storm. Trump's war on Iran is going to reverberate, particularly in the Premier League & the EFL. With the gulf in flames and the war escalating, what kind of appetite remains in Dubai, Doha & Riyadh for their sports washing project? #nufc #mancity #facup

Considering the thrashings of the ruling class in the imperial core, this is probably something that needs to be addressed. Not just here, but in other US-free developing nations.

Pirates' last night 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns sucked and could have serious implications for the title battle. But NUFC's demolition of Qarabag in the Champions League eased the pain a little, particularly that first half performance.

Netanyahu tweeting that Epstein was not an Israeli intelligence asset proves beyond reasonable doubt that he was in fact an Israeli intelligence asset, probably a General in the Mossad.

Netanyahu, Zionazi-in-Chief, squeals that Epstein did not work for Israel.
A word salad of mendacious bull-shit, as to be expected:
Jeffrey Epstein's unusual close relationship with Ehud Barak doesn't suggest Epstein worked for Israel. It proves the opposite.

Stuck on his election loss from over two decades ago, Barak has for years obsessively attempted to undermine Israeli democracy by working with the anti-Zionist radical left in failed attempts to overthrow the elected Israeli government.

Barak's personal fixation led him to engage in activities publicly and behind the scenes to undermine the government of Israel, including fueling mass protest movements, fomenting unrest and feeding false media narratives.
