I am in a strange town this weekend, I stopped at a gas station and noticed that there was a be freezer that led to a cavernous storage room filled floor to ceiling with twelve packs of Bud Light, so I called the hispano Chicano Latino creature from behind the counter, asked him if they liked LGBTQ shit up in Mexico, I said don't Mexico up my beer with his gay shit. He said he was from Peru and I said fuck the French. I said no gay beer for me, thank you, so I went to Starbuck's.

I got my new #OPNsense Router all built & OPNsense is installed.
WoW OPNsense is cool but crazy deep.
It's going to take a little time for me to learn OPNsense, so I will not be using it just yet.
I'm also finding out how little I know about FreeBSD.
I have played with #FreeBSD & #NetBSD here & there over many years but I never ran any BSD on my systems(Last time I was on a FreeBSD system was 2013).
Yes FreeBSD people this is where you LOL at the #Linux guy🐧
I plan to run #Suricata & #Zenarmor

So I've been taking the time to get a feel for #OPNsense & #FreeBSD
Also I have never worked with ZFS & the 240GB M.2 that I will be using for logging, needed to be setup with ZFS. So with a little help from ChatGPT I got ZFS setup the way I wanted it.
I also disabled the 4 E-cores via BIOS because FreeBSD does not support E-cores🙄.
So it does a bad job at managing them.
Yeah I'm moving a little slow as I want to learn.

It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to talk to a lawyer.

You might think you have an awesome defense to whatever they think you did. Maybe. Or maybe you're not thinking straight.

WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THE COPS CAN WAIT UNTIL AFTER YOU TALK TO A LAWYER.🧵

in reply to David Nathanson

You're not a lawyer. Neither are the cops. They don't care about your legal defense. They want you to talk yourself right into a conviction. Don't let'em do it. Call a lawyer then STFU.

As with every #STFUfriday post, I'm a lawyer in the USA. These comments are based on law in the USA. (And they apply to all people in the USA, whether or not they are citizens.) Some US states provide more protections than this.

IPTV‑Totaal.co – Vier kantoor­maanden 🇳🇱


In mijn thuiskantoor staat een tweede monitor waarop altijd nieuws of muziek draait. Na een proef besloot ik een jaar­licentie te nemen bij iptv totaal.

Dashboard & automatisering
Deze provider heeft een eigen webportaal: facturen downloaden, MAC‑wissel, auto‑renew instellen – alles kan zonder support. Elke nacht om 04:00 u draait er een playlist‑refresh; ik merk nooit dode links.

Nieuws & radio
BBC News, Bloomberg en zelfs lokale omroepen streamen in hoge kwaliteit. Radio­zenders hebben een slideshow‑functie met album­artwork; leuk detail tijdens het werken.

Performance
Hoewel mijn kantoor‑wifi maar 60 Mbps haalt, spelen HD‑zenders zonder haperingen. 4K gebruik ik alleen op de woonkamer‑tv.

Support
Telefonisch bereikbaar (!) op kantoor­tijden; dat is zeldzaam. Een medewerker hielp me in drie minuten met NAC‑filtering in mijn router.

Minpunt
VOD‑catalogus is kleiner dan concurrenten, maar voor mij draait het om live‑content.

Samenvattend: wie een stabiele stream zoekt voor nieuws of achtergrondtv, vindt hier misschien wel de beste iptv voor de werkplek.

Drie maanden met IPTV‑Diamond.nl 🇳🇱


Mijn huisgenoot zocht een dienst met de hoogste audio‑ en videokwaliteit. We kwamen uit bij iptv diamond. Ik deel hier ons oordeel na drie maanden intensief gebruik.

Installatie
De provider stuurt naast de playlist een Dolby‑Atmos‑testbestand mee. Handig: zo kon ik mijn soundbar direct afstellen. Op een LG OLED hoefde ik alleen de m3u in Smarters te plakken; EPG en logos werden automatisch geladen.

4K & Atmos
We bekeken een 4K‑Blu‑ray‑remux van “Top Gun: Maverick” in VOD; de bitrate bleef stabiel rond 25 Mbps. De Atmos‑kanalen gaven echt dat bioscoopgevoel. Bij live‑sport wisselt de dienst automatisch tussen servers om ping laag te houden.

Docu & kunst
Naast sport ontdekten we indrukwekkende kunst­documentaires uit Japan en Frankrijk. Een kanaal zendt zelfs live rondleidingen uit Parijse galeries uit. Dat was een onverwachte bonus.

Klantenservice
Ik had één vraag over H.265‑compatibiliteit op een oudere TV‑box. Via WhatsApp kwam binnen 15 minuten een link naar een transcoding‑server. Probleem opgelost.

Minpunt
De interface van hun eigen app oogt basic; wij gebruiken daarom Smarters. Maar het draait als een zonnetje.

Audiofielen en cinefielen zullen niets beters vinden dan dit pakket, wat mij betreft de beste iptv voor beeld‑ en geluids­puristen.

Mijn half jaar met IPTV‑Totaal.com 🇳🇱


Toen mijn kabelcontract afliep, wilde ik een dienst met veel films én kindersafe‑opties. Ik koos uiteindelijk voor beste iptv bij IPTV‑Totaal.com en tekende een halfjaar­pakket.

Eerste stap
Aanmelden ging razendsnel – iDEAL betaald, playlist in de mail, handleiding met screenshots. Op mijn NVIDIA Shield duurde de hele set‑up minder dan vijf minuten. Binnen de TiviMate‑app verschenen meteen categorieën als “Movies 4K”, “Kids Safe” en “Docu”.

Films & series
Wat me direct charmeerde was de gigantische VOD‑bibliotheek: ruim 40 000 titels inclusief Nederlandse ondertitels. Ik heb sindsdien complete filmavonden gehouden zonder ooit naar een externe bron te hoeven grijpen. Nieuwe bioscooptitels staan vaak binnen drie weken klaar. Er is zelfs een “Random Movie”‑knop die ik met vrienden gebruik voor spontane keuzes.

Kinderprofiel
Mijn neefje logt in via een aparte pincode; daar ziet hij alleen tekenfilms en educatieve kanalen. Hij kan niets verwijderen of wijzigen. Dat geeft rust, zeker wanneer ik zelf even niet oplet.

Live‑sport
Eredivisie en Champions League in 50 fps HD spelen foutloos. Tijdens de Formule 1‑race in Zandvoort zette ik een 4K‑stream op en had nul buffering – hoewel mijn glasvezel niet de beste ping heeft.

Stabiliteit & service
In zes maanden ondervond ik twee korte verstoringen (totaal 25 minuten). Ik ontving automatisch een mail met uitleg én een dag verlenging. Support via Telegram reageert binnen het uur, zelfs op zondag.

Klein minpunt
Catch‑up is beperkt tot 24 uur; ik zou graag 72 uur zien. Maar met de opname­functie vang ik dat op.

Voor mij is ip tv via deze aanbieder een blijvertje – veel content, kinderveilig en uitstekende support.

*Israel bombs WHO facilities in Gaza as global outcry grows.* I cannot believe that the Israeli army did not know exactly where to find the WHO facilities. Whether it sought to bomb WHO or neglected to take care to avoid that, it is culpable. Israel has attacked the UN in another way, by expelling an envoy of UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Reject False Peace, Persevere on the Path of People’s War: NDFP


In his fourth State of the Nation Address, Marcos will surely boast about his regime’s program of “peace and development.” He will use this occasion to applaud his fascist forces and minions for “crushing the armed conflict.” At the same time, he will obscure the grave abuses of power and trampling of democratic rights, in the cities, and especially in the countryside.

Marcos’ “National Action Plan for Unity, Peace and Development” is false and hollow. It deceitfully obscures the reality of widespread poverty, hunger, and suffering of tens of millions of peasants, workers, and unemployed. Its goal is to make the people believe that it is their fate to suffer oppression and exploitation, so as to crush their spirit and strength to defend and fight back, and make them submit to the power of the terrorist state.

In the guise of “peace,” Marcos uses the state’s armed forces to impose martial law in rural areas to suppress the struggle of the peasant masses. Its goal is to subject people to surveillance, control food supply and commerce, and regulate even the working hours of peasants in their fields. Everyone is forced to “clear” their names and “cooperate” with military officers. Known leaders and activists in peasant organizations are relentlessly persecuted. There are numerous cases of murder, arrest, and illegal imprisonment, torture, and massacres, forced evacuation, shelling and aerial bombing near communities.

To intimidate the people, groups of soldiers are deployed in villages, making use of schools or barangay health centers as barracks. They disrupt the village peace by their drinking sprees, gambling, drug use, and indiscriminate firing of guns. In the name of “territorial defense,” soldiers forcibly recruit peasants into paramilitary groups like the CAFGU and Barangay Intelligence Network to use them against their fellow villagers.

In the name of “capacity building” in urban communities, Marcos uses his armed forces to suppress the rights of workers, urban poor, youth students, and other sectors in urban areas. Unionists and activists in schools and communities are subjected to surveillance and intimidation to stop them from organizing and helping their people. Like in rural areas, the military and police use the tactic of subjecting their families to constant pressure and threats to force their compliance.

Marcos brags of “distribution of land titles” in a grand scheme to deceive the peasant masses, because most of these titles were already in their possession as collective titles (Certificate of Land Ownership Award) under “agrarian reform communities,” including lands that were already distributed by the revolutionary movement to farmers and indigenous peoples, which are being fragmented to make it easier for large land grabbers to buy or take over.

Marcos auctions off vast tracts of land to foreign big capitalists in the form of 99-year “leases”. Tens of thousands of peasants and indigenous peoples are driven off to make way for plantations, mines, energy projects, tourism, and other operations of big foreign and local companies. Marcos offers them incentives to invest with little or no taxes to pay. It’s certain that President Trump of the US will dictate even more anti-people and anti-national policies to Marcos during their meeting at the White House.

Marcos, his military officers, and accomplices in the NTF-Elcac are deceiving only themselves in boasting that they are close to crushing the New People’s Army. They claim that there is only one guerrilla front left in the country, but continue to deploy majority of the AFP’s combat battalions in the NPA’s guerrilla fronts.

Marcos uses a handful of traitors to the masses to sing praises to his “peace and development”. They are all reactionary special agents tasked to spit out disinformation and lies against the revolutionary movement.

Marcos’ “peace” is the silence of the graveyard of the victims of his fascist rule. The US imperialists and local ruling classes celebrate this peace that Marcos claims, which will allow them to freely exploit the land of the peasant masses, ravage the mountains and rivers, plunder the country’s wealth, steal the people’s money, and establish the power of the US military forces in the country.

This false peace of Marcos, the NTF-Elcac and AFP is a major obstacle to peace talks with the NDFP. Another obstacle is the continued persecution, imprisonment, and killing of NDFP consultants and representatives, in violation of previous agreements. A just, liberating, and lasting peace cannot be achieved as long as the root causes of the armed conflict in the country are not addressed and resolved, and if the only goal is to crush, suppress, and subjugate all who wage resistance.

The Filipino people should reject Marcos’ false and hollow peace. In the face of intensifying oppression, wor- sening forms of exploitation, and deepening crisis of the rotten semicolonial and semifeudal system, the Filipino people have no other choice but to take the path of struggle, especially the path of armed struggle. Armed struggle is the most powerful weapon of the people to defend their rights, lives, and livelihood. Without armed struggle, the US imperialism and ruling classes will unabatedly continue to oppress and exploit the people.

Despite the losses arising from its own weaknesses and amid the intense attacks of the AFP, the New People’s Army is determined to continue the armed struggle, correct past weaknesses, and strengthen the revolutionary resistance. Under the leadership of the Party, the NPA and its mass base will continue to strengthen and expand throughout the country. The ground remains fertile for the armed struggle to advance and revitalize the guerrilla fronts, which will serve as bastions for the people’s struggle for national and social liberation.

Exporting Repression: Haitians And Kenyans Are Both Fighting Neo-colonial Representatives of U.S.-led Imperialism — BAP


Since 2021, the Black Alliance for Peace Haiti/Americas Team has tracked the deepening crisis of imperialism in Haiti, in particular how imperialist forces and neocolonial puppets have worked to suppress and eliminate the organizing of popular movements and the will of the Haitian people. Over the last four years, this crisis has impacted nations around the globe, in particular Kenya.

This summer marks the one-year anniversary of Kenya’s youth-led uprising against the IMF-backed Finance Bill of 2024. Instead of reckoning with the demands of a generation that has endured skyrocketing inflation, police violence, and mass unemployment, President William Ruto has once again unleashed the full force of state repression. Live ammunition, abductions, and curfews have become routine tactics to crush dissent and left at least 50 protesters dead. As BAP’s Africa Team stated last week, these protests are not isolated and reflect a broader generational rejection of IMF-dictated austerity and repressive consolidation by neocolonial governance.

Thousands of miles away in revolutionary Haiti, Kenyan boots are still on the ground. Following the July 2021 assassination of Jovenel Moïise and installment of Ariel Henry, by the Core Group, troops were dispatched under the so-called Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission, which was renewed in October 2024 despite consistent opposition from civil society and popular movements throughout the Americas. These same violent police were sent to “restore order” in a country ravaged by decades of foreign intervention and neocolonial policies. The order that these forces represent is not one of peace, but of the continuation of imperialist domination and neocolonial subversion. The same regime that brutalizes its youth domestically claims to bring “security” to Haitians abroad. These militarized responses do not provide security for the majority of people in Haiti or Kenya, but for the multinational corporations, imperialist bureaucrats, and neocolonial oligarchs and elites.

Neocolonialism in Haiti: Outsourcing Imperialist Occupation


The MSS has failed to curb violence, but not because it lacks force, but because it was never designed to resolve the root causes. Since the Kenya-led MSS mission was formally launched in 2024 under U.S. sponsorship, it has remained strategically vague, militarily ineffective, and politically illegitimate. As grassroots activists have recently shared, the MSS and their masters in the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) have not been publicizing their activities because the paramilitary armed groups they were dispatched to combat have only continued to gain ground in and outside of Port-au-Prince. This includes the towns of La Chapelle, Artibonite, and Lascaobas in the Centre department

This is not because the intervention isn’t strong enough, it is by design. The MSS’s presence functions as a placeholder for deeper U.S. reoccupation and a justification for the continual militarization of Haiti’s political crisis, which has been, and remains, a crisis of imperialism. The failures of the MSS showcase, not just the failure of foreign intervention to resolve the crisis in Haiti, but exposes these interventions as tools to keep Haiti trapped under a neocolonial subjugation.

Life, Culture, and Sovereignty Under Siege


Earlier this week, paramilitary armed groups set arson to Hotel Oloffson, a historic site in Port-au-Prince known for its significance to Haitian art, journalism, refuge, and resistance. This was not just an attack on infrastructure, but an assault on the cultural memory and political soul of Haiti. At the same time, government forces under the illegitimate Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) increase ‘kamikaze drone’ attacks that have already resulted in the murder of at least 300 people in poor and working class neighborhoods, under the justification of striking at “terrorist gangs”. Now with the agreement between the CPT and Erik Prince’s U.S.-backed mercenaries, the militarization and violence only promises to deepen. As violence spreads beyond Port-au-Prince, both lives and symbolic spaces of Haitian resistance are being engulfed in the imperialist-fueled violence.

However, this month has also brought signs of resistance and solidarity. On July 13, displaced residents from the neighborhood of Solino in Port-au-Prince mobilized in the streets to protest for their survival and against the oligarchs and neocolonial state that are destroying their lives and livelihoods. On July 6, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) sent a delegation to Haiti in a clear rejection of U.S.-backed intervention. The delegation, comprising representatives from Venezuela, Brazil, and Argentina, denounced foreign interventionism and called for “respect for Haiti’s sovereignty, urging solutions based on mutual cooperation, not military occupation…Behind the violence, corruption, and food shortages, is the same United States imperialism that oppresses all the peoples of the Global South.”

In stark contrast to Kenya’s role as a proxy enforcer for the U.S.-led Core Group politically and SOUTHCOM militarily, ALBA’s statement reframes possible solutions to the crisis in Haiti through regional solidarity, not Western mandates. This focus on solidarity is a core function of the development of the Campaign for a Zone of Peace in Our Americas, which has as a primary objective ending military intervention into Haiti and supporting peoples-centered movements that emphasize self-determination and dignity for the Haitian masses.

As anti-imperialists in solidarity with the masses of Haitians and Kenyans, we must remain clear. Whether in Nairobi or Port-au-Prince, the playbook is the same: suppress resistance at home, legitimize occupation abroad. But today’s African youth are not confused. They see the global connections. The same forces imposing debt and repression in Kenya are funding foreign domination in Haiti. The violence is not an accident, it is the enforcement arm of a neocolonial system. As the MSS flounders in Haiti and Kenyan youth continue to rise against domestic repression, the crumbling empire behind both is in much clearer focus.

The Black Alliance for Peace stands in solidarity with those surviving and resisting both of the comprador regimes in Kenya and Haiti as they collaborate with U.S.-led Western imperialism to oppress and exploit Africans in both nations.

Hands Off Haiti!

U.S. Out of Africa!

Make Our Americas a Zone of Peace!

Regional Resistance after the Gaza Genocide


This commentary considers the state of the West Asian regional resistance in July 2025, based on these premises:

– The Zionist regime is the central enemy of the independent peoples of the region,

– Resistance is necessary for the survival of the Palestinian people and for that of the surrounding independent Arab and Muslim peoples.

– While Israeli weaknesses have been exposed, especially its dependence on outside weapons and money, a crushing military defeat is necessary to collapse the regime.

– While extremely courageous and steadfast, the Resistance in Palestine is unable – by itself – to impose such a defeat and so dismantle Israeli apartheid.

– International support is necessary to legitimise such a defeat and dismantle the Jewish supremacist / apartheid regime, the mother of all great crimes.

– The self defence provisions of the UN Charter (Art 51) are important but provide insufficient rationale for concerted and effective resistance action.

– Iran, in concert with regional resistance forces, is capable of imposing a crushing military defeat on the Zionist regime, and thus force regime change.

But what is the current state of Resistance forces, after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the collapse of independent Syria and the ongoing attacks on Lebanon and Iran?

A note on method:

These observations are based on the public record plus conversations with people in the region, including Resistance figures, plus site visits in Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Beirut and South Lebanon.

The rapidly changing security environment in West Asia, alongside the desirability of sharing timely perspectives, in between Round One (13-25 June) and an expected Round Two (perhaps September 2025) of fighting between “Israel” and Iran, has led to this rushed and abbreviated method, in point form and with limited referencing.

The perspectives and provisional conclusions are those of the author.

Palestine since October 2023


The Al-Aqsa Flood operation was a brilliant resistance initiative which galvanised the region and the world; reprisal massacres of civilians by the Israelis destroyed their image, despite all the doublespeak; the Israeli military was left utterly dependent on outside support.

While the Israelis had provided special treatment to Hamas in the past, to foment a sectarian split with Fatah, Hamas has moved from its Muslim Brotherhood sectarian phase to full alignment with Resistance forces in Gaza and in the region.

It is not true that the Israelis created Hamas, nor that they knew in advance of ‘Al-Aqsa flood’; they knew of training but not of the timing, scope or audacity of the operation.

The open Gaza genocide (classical fascist reprisals against a civilian population) galvanised the world against the colonisers, only intransigent Western and Arab elites still back the regime. Constant Resistance in Gaza persists, despite the ongoing Zionist holocaust.

A key internal problem is the Palestinian Authority, which collaborates to repress resistance and maintain the deceptive ‘two states’ illusion – a cover for ongoing colonisation and apartheid. Nevertheless, armed groups associated with Fatah form part of the resistance.

Gaza resistance forces continue to impose heavy casualties on the Israelis (Fabian 2025). Though the resistance cannot be eliminated yet, its actions are insufficient, in themselves, to impose a final defeat on the NATO backed Israeli military.

Within Palestine, several resistance factions remain active, and the constant Israeli crimes help in recruiting the next generation. US sources say the Israelis may have killed about 15,000 Hamas fighters, but that a similar number of young recruits joined.

While the al-Qassam brigades (of Hamas) has been the leading faction in Gaza, a coalition of groups remains active. Under #ResistanceOps, Iran’s Press TV listed the daily activities of these groups from October 2023 until the “ceasefire” of January 2025.

As well as al-Qassam, the other main active groups in Gaza have been the al-Quds brigade (of Palestinian Islamic Jihad), the al-Aqsa Martyrs and al-Asifah (both armed wings of Fatah), the Abu Ali Mustafa brigades (of the PFLP) and several other smaller groups.

Press TV has also listed Palestinian Resistance actions in the West Bank as well as “Axis of Resistance” actions against the Israelis, which have included those from Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Yemen and the Iraqi PMFs.

The courage and steadfastness of these young Palestinian fighters is extraordinary. They are the ones who woke the conscience of the world and of their regional partners.

As at July 2025, the Gaza Resistance keeps striking the Israeli invaders in Gaza, causing many casualties, but never enough – by themselves – to impose a crushing defeat on the Israeli occupation. This is why the regional Resistance remains so important.

Lebanon since October 2023


From October 2023 to November 2024, Hezbollah carried out courageous attacks on Israeli positions in South Lebanon and north Palestine, diverting Israeli forces from Gaza to the north, clearing most of the colonial settlements in northern Palestine, but losing at least 300 fighters from Israeli retaliation.

In September 2024, the Israelis carried out terrorist attacks in Lebanon, using exploding pagers, and bombing South Lebanon villages and south Beirut, where they killed Hezbollah commanders, including Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah on September 27.

On October 1, 2024, Israeli forces tried an invasion of South Lebanon, but fierce Resistance in the south meant they could not capture a single village; defending just the village of Khiam (for example) cost more than 300 martyrs; the resistance effort in the South was not just from the two Lebanese Shia parties (Hezbollah and Amal), but many Palestinian factions joined in and suffered losses as wekk.

The Israelis penetrated Hezbollah communications for their assassinations, and detected weapons caches; they destroyed much of Hezbollah’s missile stocks.

With the invasion failing, the Israelis agreed to a ceasefire on November 27 (between the Lebanese government and the Israelis), including a Lebanese pledge to allow only the Lebanese army (which had never engaged the Israeli enemy) in the South; however, the Israelis have repeatedly violated this ceasefire agreement.

Hezbollah, on the other hand, refrained from responding to Israeli aggression after the ceasefire and has concentrated on rebuilding its networks and supply chains.

The Resistance defended the south, albeit at great cost, while the Israelis bombed Beirut freely, in the absence of any air defence; several thousand Lebanese were killed, mostly civilians (and with many more injured and displaced), compared to only 100 Israeli soldier deaths (plus 900 injured).

The Lebanese Resistance, led by Hezbollah, prevented the October-November 2024 Israeli invasion of South Lebanon, yet was seriously weakened by aerial attacks.

We could speak of the performance of the Lebanese Resistance in three sections:

In gains, they:

  1. Distracted the Israeli military from Gaza and cleared most of the northern settlements
  2. Reasserted their moral standing (in support for Gaza and in Shia-Sunni Muslim solidarity)
  3. Maintained their strong, core popular support base.

In losses they:

  1. Suffered some weakened domestic standing by “inviting” Israeli reprisals;
  2. Lost much of their leadership, many fighters and many of their weapons;
  3. Suffered huge civilian and residential losses and damage from the Israeli bombing;
  4. Suffered weakened deterrence, with no effective air defence of Beirut or South Lebanon.
  5. Lost independent Syria as a source of supply after the collapse of Damascus.

The challenges they face include:

  1. The need to rebuild leadership, security and military capacity,
  2. The need to develop a national air defence capability;
  3. The need to consolidate Hezbollah’s domestic political standing while rejecting Israeli and US disarmament demands.
  4. A need to face threatened aggression from foreign militants embedded in HTS-led Syria.

In the current situation, the Lebanese Army (which from its US and French patronage has always has not confronted Israeli invaders) is being tested in its role to defend the south, while Israeli occupation, assassinations and home demolitions continue. For Hezbollah, rebuilding is proceeding quietly with new security systems.

Syria since October 2023


In early December 2024, just after the ceasefire in Lebanon, an invasion of NATO backed terrorist groups from Idlib and Turkey (let by HTS-Nusra) rapidly took over the cities of Aleppo, Hama, Homs and then Damascus, facing a near complete surrender of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

This unexpected and rapid collapse of the SAA seems to have come from the purchase of a large number of Syrian commanders by the Qatari-Turkish side. It was soon followed by an Israeli invasion of the south and bombing of key defence installations.

The collapse of the majority of the SAA command was not along sectarian lines, as Sunni generals and those from the minorities appear on both sides. The traitors mostly remain in Syria, reportedly assisting the HTS regime from two bases, a luxury hotel in Damascus and from the village of Draykish, Tartous.

Russia intervened to remove the minority loyal commanders to Moscow, where (as with former President Assad) they remain; Russia rarely intervened in post-coup Syria.

Persecution of minority groups (especially the Alawis) and those associated with the SAA began immediately, but has been ignored by the Western sponsors of the HTS coup regime.

There are many rumours in Syria about how the SAA collapse occurred. Amongst the Syrian patriots (all of whom supported the SAA) there are some loyal to Assad who say he was kidnapped or betrayed, others say he was a traitor to leave without a word and to not stay and fight to the end.

There are also bad feelings towards the Russians, because they were seen to have the capacity to stop the HTS takeover, did not help resolve the occupation of Idlib (after a ceasefire which they organised in 2020) and, later, because they did not stop the biggest massacres which took place in Jableh, very close to Russia’s Hmeimim airbase.

However, from what I have heard, it seems that the fix was made by Syria’s enemies in Qatar and Turkey, and then Russia was faced with a ‘fait accompli’. With the command corrupted and the SAA dissolved, Russia then removed the loyal commanders (to Russia) and tried to protect its assets in Syria. I am fairly sure that Russia and Iran both concluded that, if the SAA would not defend Syria, they could not do it for them.

Many soldiers in the SAA would have fought (as they had for the previous 14 years), but, as a disciplined force and with their command corrupted, they dissolved.

After a one day resistance uprising on the coast, large scale reprisal massacres of the Alawi civilian community (in early March 2025) were carried out by gangs under the HTS umbrella.

Soon after, there were attacks on Druze and Christians.

HTS aligned gangs, pretending to represent Arab tribes, attacked majority Druze Sweida in July 2025. Hundreds were killed, but the Druze in Sweida resisted. The Israelis carried out some bombing of HTS bases and convoys in an attempt to portray themselves as the guardians and protectors of the Druze, but their masters in Washington persuaded the Israelis to disengage. The Western media falsely portrayed these attacks as tribal conflicts between Bedouin and Druze which the HTS was trying to resolve. HTS (which, despite its jihadist propaganda, had never attacked the Israelis) used false flag killings to fuel this disinformation, as they had throughout the long dirty war (2011-2024).

There is Syrian resistance, but it is weak and divided. The Alawis, who have suffered most, have no real leadership and are intimidated by the reprisals against civilians. The Druze are small and isolated. The Christians have suffered less, so far, except for the June 2025 suicide bomb attack on a church in Dwel’a (SE Damascus).

Washington’s claim to have been engaged in a “war on terror” has been exposed by its informal but open celebration of former ISIS /Nusra/HTS leader Jolani (al-Sharaa), installed as unelected President.

In the current situation, there is no effective Syrian state, and little prospect of an organised resistance to HTS/AlQaeda rule. No state yet recognises the Jolani regime, but Western governments are engaged in a de facto normalisation process. Syria’s role as a source of arms and other support for the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance has been neutralised, for now.

Yemen since October 2023


Soon after effectively defeating the US-Saudi-Emirati led ‘coalition of aggression’ in the 2015-2022 war, the Ansar Allah led revolutionary government in Sanaa, which controls 75% of the populated areas of Yemen (but is called ‘Houthi rebels’ by the Western media) decided to come to the aid the besieged Palestinian people in Gaza; they saw this as a moral obligation.

The Red Sea operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces, from late 2023, which had demonstrable mass support in Yemen, were designed to impose a quarantine on the Israeli regime, in accordance with their Quranic moral duty to help the oppressed and to comply with their legal obligations under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Yemeni naval quarantine forced Israeli linked shipping to avoid the Red Sea and, after some months, forced the retreat of a US naval counter force.

Ansar Allah officials have also confirmed (to this writer) that they felt their responsibility for the regional Resistance (and to Palestine) had ‘doubled’ since the fall of Damascus.

The Israelis keep bombing infrastructure and facilities in Yemen but, due to their poor intelligence and Yemeni air defence, have made minimal impact on Yemen’s military assets;

Yemen retaliates, striking the Israelis directly with domestically produced drones and hypersonic missiles.

In the current situation, Yemen maintains its operations in support of the Palestinian people and keeps communications with Iranian forces and Resistance groups in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon, ready to coordinate in a regional response to the Zionist enemy.

Iraq since October 2023


Iraq remains occupied by the US military, ever since they called out for assistance in 2014 (after a surge of US backed ISIS terrorism), in a moment of weakness. US occupation troops had previously withdrawn in 2011, but then they pretended to be “fighting ISIS”.

As it happened, ISIS was defeated in Iraq by the popular mobilisation forces (PMF) assisted by Iran. On many occasions, the Iraqi resistance blamed the US military for obstructing this fight and covertly helping ISIS.

Some of the PMF (mostly Shia but also from Sunni communities) are now formally part of the Iraqi state security forces, while some other groups remain outside, yet still working closely with the state; that latter group has occasionally attacked US occupation bases in Iraq and Syria.

Over 2024, some of the PMF groups launched missile attacks on Israeli facilities, in support of Hezbollah and Yemeni operations.

There is widespread dissatisfaction in Iraq with the continued US occupation, which heavily constrains independent policy; the parliament and government have demanded their withdrawal, but they refuse to leave, falsely claiming an ongoing mandate to fight ISIS.

More recently, Iraqi dissatisfaction focused on Iraqi airspace being used for the Israelis to attack Iran, against Iraq’s will. Some PMF factions stand ready to join with Iran and the Palestinian resistance to help remove the US military presence from the region.

Iran since October 2023


Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, support for the Palestinian people has been set in the “principles of the country’s constitution” and developed through a number of cultural, military and political initiatives.

Iran supports all the Palestinian Resistance factions, the Resistance in Lebanon, the Ansar Allah led government in Yemen and (previously) the Assad government in Syria (which in turn helped arm the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance).

However Iran’s direct engagement against the Israelis has so far only come through a self defence rationale, on three occasions: (1) True Promise 1 in April 2024, after an Israeil attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, (2) True Promise 2 in October 2024, after several Israeli assassinations, including of Palestinian leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Both these operations were demonstrative, probing Israeli defences and showing Iran’s missile capability.

Operation True Promise 3 was set to happen earlier, but only came about after the sneak Israeli attack on Iran on 13 June (in the middle of Iran’s much hyped indirect nuclear talks with Washington); Iran’s substantial retaliation in this 12 day war targeted Israeli military bases and infrastructure. After 12 days, with Israeli weapons stocks running low, President Trump intervened to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities and unilaterally declare a ceasefire; both sides accepted this, and both sides declared victory.

While Tehran did much damage to Israeli military and infrastructure, the Israelis caused more deaths, 1,190 in Iran compared to 28 in “Israel”; yet “Israel” claims Iran ‘targeted civilians’. The Israelis hide their damages but admit that, in the second half of the 12 days war, at least 16% of Iran’s incoming missiles breached Israeli air defences (Silver, Stephen 2025).

Currently, Iran has replaced its damaged air defences, and will respond to a second attack from the Israelis, relying on the self defence right. Tehran needs a wider anti-apartheid mandate to respond (with its allies) with overwhelming force and destroy the Zionist regime. Yet so far, it has sought to contain escalation with Washington, which is likely to intervene in the event of an existential crisis for the Israeli regime.

Overall: The Axis of Resistance since October 2023


The Palestinian resistance has fought bravely since October 2023, despite its limited capabilities and despite the massive reprisals against the civilian population of Gaza and the renewed ethnic cleansing on the West Bank. The resistance has seriously weakened the occupation, but international sponsors keep giving the upper hand to the apartheid regime.

The Gaza genocide continues, fuelling the expansionist ambitions of the NATO backed apartheid regime.

Hezbollah and its allies prevented a wholesale occupation of South Lebanon, but were weakened by aerial bombing; Hezbollah is now quietly rebuilding and resisting demands to disarm.

The regional resistance lost Syria (which contained northern Israeli expansion and provided weapons to Lebanon and Palestine) but gained Yemen (which strikes the Israelis directly and blocks shipping supply to the Zionist regime).

Significant resistance support remains in Iraq but is constrained by the US occupation.

Iran was finally attacked directly by the Israelis (jubilant that they managed to drag the US into their aggression), but that attack unified Iran’s political factions and ensured strong retaliation.

It seems likely that the Israelis, after rebuilding their war inventory, will initiate a second round against Iran, perhaps in September; Iran has also been rebuilding its defences. Iran seems likely to maintain its retaliation on a self defence rationale, yet a new rationale is required to impose a crushing defeat on the Israelis, end the genocide and dismantle the apartheid regime.

Currently (July 2025) the initiative remains with the Israelis, but Iran and its regional allies have the capacity to bring down the Israeli regime.

When this happens, the post-apartheid dilemma will be defeating the rise of a revised “Israel” (i.e. the embedding of colonial privilege, such as land theft and diaspora immigration) by liberal Zionists, their sponsors and the comprador Arab regimes.

Al-Qassam Brigades Strike Zionist Command Post, Ansarallah Targets Occupation


Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Friday that its fighters had bombarded a Zionist command and control post near the courthouse complex south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip using mortar shells.

In a separate operation, the Brigades reported targeting a Zionist Namer armored personnel carrier (APC) with a “Yasin 105” rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) in the western al-Satar area, north of Khan Younis, near the intersection of Street 5. The group confirmed that a Zionist soldier was positioned atop the vehicle at the time of the strike.

Zionist troops east of Jabalia shelled

Meanwhile, the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, stated that they had shelled a gathering of Zionist troops and vehicles near the al-Mabhouh site, east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip. The attack was carried out using 60mm standard mortar shells.

Al-Quds Brigades publish footage of explosive ambush in Deir al-Balah


Earlier in the day, the al-Quds Brigades, affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, released footage showing the detonation of a minefield packed with high-explosive charges targeting Zionist military vehicles advancing east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

Ansarallah launches attacks on occupation


The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their domestically developed Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile struck a strategic Zionist target in the occupied Beer al-Sabe’ area. The missile strike was part of a broader coordinated campaign that included three drone attacks.

According to a statement released by the Yemeni military spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operation targeted what was described as a “sensitive site belonging to the Zionist enemy.” The nature of the target was not specified, but the spokesperson emphasized that the missile strike “achieved its objective with precision.”

In addition to the missile launch, Saree confirmed that the Yemeni Air Force conducted three separate drone attacks targeting strategic sites in Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), Askalan, and Khodeira (Hadera), located just south of Haifa. All three drone strikes were said to have successfully achieved their objectives.

The statement framed the attacks as part of an ongoing campaign to pressure the occupation to halt its aggression on Gaza and lift the ongoing blockade, which has triggered a growing humanitarian catastrophe. “Our operations will not stop until the aggression on Gaza ends and the siege is lifted,” the Yemeni Armed Forces declared.

Brigadier General Saree warned that further escalatory actions are being considered, reaffirming Yemen’s commitment to the Palestinian cause. “We will not retreat from our steadfast position in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people, regardless of the consequences,” the statement read.

Sirens triggered across southern West Bank, near Dead Sea


Earlier today, the occupation military reported the detection of a ballistic missile launched from Yemen.

According to Zionist media, the missile triggered air raid sirens across several settlements in the southern West Bank and in communities near the Dead Sea. The alerts were sounded just minutes after initial military warnings of an inbound threat.

Zionist military officials said the projectile was part of a broader campaign of aerial attacks originating from Yemen.

Yemen reaffirms Gaza support, condemns Arab complicity, Zionist crimes


Earlier today, Yemenis held yet another million-strong demonstration, condemning Arab inaction toward Gaza while reaffirming Yemeni support for Palestine, while denouncing the Zionists siege and starvation of Palestinians amid calls for confrontation.

The Yemeni Marches Committee declared that the silence and inaction of Arab leaders have emboldened the occupation to continue and escalate its crimes.

The statement also welcomed and praised the announcement by the Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi that further retaliatory measures against the occupying regime are being considered, expressing full trust that Sanaa’s leadership will not spare an effort to support and defend Gaza.

It also asserted that Yemen is prepared to face any repercussions resulting from the battle against the Zionist entity and support for Gaza and its people, emphasizing commitment to the popular and official stance, supportive of Palestine and Gaza as part of their religious duty.

Yemen remains steadfast in supporting Gaza


On July 24, Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi once again called on nations situated between Yemen and Palestine to “open transit routes for our people,” enabling mass mobilization of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis in solidarity with Gaza.

Yemen continues to launch operations against the entity in support of Gaza, most recently launching a precise military operation targeting the Ben Gurion Airport with a Palestine-2 ballistic missile on July 22, forcing millions of settlers into shelters and paralyzing activity at the airport.

Brigadier General Yehya Saree emphasized at the time that the operation was carried out in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance, directly countering the occupation’s genocidal campaign in Gaza and reaffirming that such military operations would continue unabated until the aggression ceases and the siege is fully lifted.

There’s some crazy graphs going around. Everyone knows we’re in a housing crisis, but the chart on the right is housing prices adjusted for gold. Housing is actually affordable if your job pays you in gold. The reality is, the currency has fallen so far, it’s sparked a housing crisis. That’s how far the dollar has fallen. It’s uh, over.

IPTV Nederland Pro – Vier maanden expat‑ervaring 🇳🇱


Als expat in Madrid miste ik regionale Nederlandse zenders. Na fora lezen koos ik voor iptv kopen bij IPTV Nederland Pro. Vier maanden later ben ik nog steeds tevreden.

Eerste setup
Portal‑URL ingevoerd op mijn NVIDIA Shield; binnen een minuut draaide alles. Mijn grootste verassing? RTV Noord in full HD, inclusief lokale sport.

Lokale focus
Het pakket bevat alle regionale omroepen, plus Ziggo Sport en ESPN 1‑4. Mijn kinderen kijken Zappelin via de kinder­modus. Internationale kanalen (BBC, Discovery) zijn ook inbegrepen.

EPG & timeshift
EPG is compleet met programma­beschrijvingen. Timeshift gaat 24 uur terug; handig als ik door tijdzone­verschil een live‑show mis.

Support & VPN
De provider raadde een NL‑VPN‑server aan om geo‑blokkades te vermijden. Sindsdien kijk ik zonder problemen. Ik kreeg zelfs een mini‑handleiding hoe ik de VPN op de router instel.

Minpunt
Catch‑up is nog niet beschikbaar voor regionale zenders. Toch wegen alle pluspunten ruimschoots op. Wie buiten Nederland woont en heimwee heeft naar nederlandse iptv, vindt hier een solide oplossing.

Bob Player Pro – Een maand on the road 🇳🇱


Ik reis veel voor werk en wilde een oplossing die op hotel‑wifi werkt. Daarom testte ik iptv kopen via Bob Player Pro. De app combineert offline caching met een lightweight interface.

Installatie & offline cache
Bob Player installeer je via een sideload‑apk. Na het importeren van de playlist downloadde ik een paar kids‑cartoons offline voor mijn treinrit naar Berlijn. Zelfs met wisselende wifi had ik local playback.

Zappervaring
Kanaal­wissel is zo’n 1,2 seconde. Niet de snelste, maar acceptabel gezien de stabiliteit. Streams herstellen automatisch wanneer de wifi verspringt tussen 2,4‑ en 5 GHz.

Design & functies
Het minimalistische design is krachtig. Je kunt verse m3u’s via QR delen; ideaal wanneer ik collega’s even hun favoriete nieuws­kanaal wil laten zien. Handig is ook de ingebouwde speed‑test.

Klantenservice
Mijn licentie activeerde niet direct op een Fire HD‑tablet. Via e‑mail kreeg ik binnen een uur een patch‑APK. Daarmee werkte alles.

Bob Player Pro is dus perfect voor road‑warriors die hun playlist overal mee naar toe willen nemen. Voor mij bleek bob player de ultieme reisgenoot.

IPTV Kopen Pro – Mijn Belgische streaming­uitdaging 🇧🇪


Als Nederlander in Antwerpen zocht ik een aanbieder die Bancontact accepteert en Belgische zenders in HD biedt. Na advies koos ik voor iptv kopen bij IPTV Kopen Pro en dit is mijn eerlijk verslag.

Registratie & Bancontact
De Bancontact‑betaling ging vlekkeloos en de bevestiging stond binnen drie minuten in mijn mailbox. Wat me beviel was de optie om direct een factuur in PDF te downloaden; handig voor administratie.

Focus op België
Het zender­pakket bevat Proximus Pickx, Play Sports en het volledige VRT‑aanbod in 1080p. Verder zijn regionale kanalen zoals ATV en TV Oost beschikbaar. Internationaal miste ik niets; alle NL‑zenders plus BBC en CNN zaten erbij.

Serverlocatie
De dienst gebruikt servers in Amsterdam én Brussel. Mijn pings lagen gemiddeld rond 10 ms; daardoor merkte ik tijdens de F1 niks van de drukte.

VOD & Catch‑up
Catch‑up tot 48 uur terug is inbegrepen. Handig wanneer ik een talkshow op één mis. De VOD‑bibliotheek bevat meer dan 25 000 titels met Nederlandse en Franse ondertitels.

Minpunt
EPG voor één Waalse zender loopt een uur achter. Ik heb dat gemeld; klantendienst beloofde fix binnen een week.

Wie in België woont en zonder gedoe een iptv abonnement kopen België wil, vindt weinig betere opties.

Smart IPTV Nederland – Twee gezins­profielen, nul stress 🇳🇱


Met twee kinderen, een partner die van soaps houdt en ikzelf als sportfan, was ik op zoek naar een flexibele dienst. Via een forumtip belandde ik bij beste iptv van Smart IPTV Nederland. Hier mijn ervaringen na zes maanden intensief gebruik.

Setup in de Smart IPTV‑app
Ik gebruik een LG‑televisie waarop de Smart IPTV‑app standaard aanwezig is. Playlist uploaden via MAC‑adres duurde minder dan vijf minuten. Het mooie: de provider leverde een aparte kids‑M3U. Zo kon ik via het menu moeiteloos schakelen tussen een kinder­profiel en mijn eigen account.

Gezins­vriendelijke functies
Parental‑control‑pincode is verplicht bij de 18+‑categorie; dat voorkomt gênante vergissingen. Mijn kinderen kijken Nickelodeon JR terwijl mijn partner NPO Drama volgt. Allemaal simultaan, dankzij drie gelijktijdige streams.

Sport & On‑demand
Ik was onder de indruk van de 4K‑stream van Ziggo Sport Racing. Geen drop‑frames, zelfs niet tijdens de F1‑startgrid. De VOD‑bibliotheek bevatte bovendien drie seizoenen van een Nederlandse design­show die ik nergens anders vond.

Klantenservice
Ik wilde overschakelen op een jaar­abonnement. Via WhatsApp kreeg ik binnen twintig minuten een kortings­code van 15 %. Er werd zelfs een herinnering ingesteld om mij twee weken voor verloop te mailen.

Minpunt
De handleiding mist screenshots voor Samsung‑tv’s, wat een familielid wat langer deed zoeken. Maar functioneel werkt alles vlekkeloos.

Smart IPTV Nederland bewijst dat een all‑round dienst niet ingewikkeld hoeft te zijn. Wie snel iptv kopen wil voor heel het gezin, zit hier goed.

Pandora IPTV Officieel – Mijn 8 maanden durende “kunst‑en‑sport” avontuur


Ik had al een tijdje de wens om een IPTV‑dienst te vinden die zowel mijn sportverslaving als mijn liefde voor kunstdocumentaires kon voeden. Na flink googelen besloot ik een proefabo te nemen bij beste iptv van Pandora IPTV Officieel. Dat beviel zó goed dat ik inmiddels acht maanden klant ben.

Installatie & eerste indruk
De inschrijf­procedure verliep soepel: iDEAL‑betaling, e‑mail met inlog­gegevens en een PDF met duidelijke plaatjes­instructies. Op mijn Samsung‑tv gebruik ik XCIPTV: portal URL ingevuld, EPG‑link erbij en klaar. Het viel me direct op dat de kanaal­categorieën logisch waren ingedeeld: sport, films, documentaire, kids en “Internationaal Azië”. Die laatste categorie bleek later goud waard voor mijn nieuwe hobby – Koreaanse kunstshows.

Beeldkwaliteit & stabiliteit
Mijn eerste echte test was de Champions‑League‑finale. Terwijl vrienden via hun kabel­aanbieder klaagden over haperingen, had ik 90 minuten lang een onberispelijke 50 fps‑stream in 1080p. Nog indrukwekkender vond ik de HDR‑demo­kanalen: de kleuren sprongen écht van het scherm op mijn LG OLED. Sindsdien is de dienst twee keer kort uitgevallen (maximaal 10 minuten), maar dankzij auto‑failover was ik snel weer online.

K‑Drama én kunstzenders
Wat Pandora uniek maakt is hun uitgebreide “Asia Premium Pack”. Hier vond ik niet alleen K‑Drama‑zenders maar ook docu’s over hedendaagse kunstenaars uit Seoul. Ik volg nu wekelijks virtuele rondleidingen door kunstgaleries die ik anders nooit zou zien. Daarnaast stream ik Viaplay F1 in 4K zonder vertraging; de overschakeling naar on‑board‑camera’s verloopt naadloos.

Klantenservice & updates
Tijdens de GP Monaco had ik plotseling blokjesvorming. Ik appte de helpdesk. Binnen tien minuten kreeg ik een alternatieve HLS‑link plus het advies om naar een “low latency node” te schakelen. Probleem opgelost. Elke maand ontvang ik bovendien een changelog; zo werd recent Multiview toegevoegd (vier streams tegelijk).

Minpunt
Soms ontbreken Nederlandse ondertitels in Aziatische films. Gelukkig is er een verzoek­formulier; mijn verzoek voor een K‑Drama werd in twee dagen ingewilligd.

Eindoordeel
Pandora combineert een enorm sportpakket met niche­kunstkanalen. Wie op zoek is naar een uitgebalanceerde IPTV‑ervaring kan pandora iptv met een gerust hart proberen.

MyTVOnlineIPTV.com – Formuler‑liefde in de praktijk


Als bezitter van een Formuler Z10 Pro wilde ik een service die naadloos integreert met de MyTVOnline‑app. Na veel vergelijken koos ik voor beste iptv via MyTVOnlineIPTV.com. Dit is mijn relaas na drie intensieve maanden gebruik.

Supersnelle set‑up
De heer des huizes hoeft slechts de portal‑URL in te voeren; daarna herkent MyTVOnline automatisch alle categorieën. Binnen een minuut had ik meer dan 18 000 zenders geïmporteerd, compleet met EPG en logo’s.

Latency & zapsnelheid
Formuler‑boxen staan bekend om hun rappe kanaalwissel. Met deze provider is de zapsnelheid gemiddeld 0,8 seconde – door mijn stopwatch getest. Ook tijdens Champions League‑avonden bleef de latency onder de twee seconden, indrukwekkend gezien de drukte.

Maandelijkse kwaliteitsrapporten
Uniek is dat de provider maandelijks een transparant pdf‑rapport deelt waarin ze eigen servers en concurrerende aanbieders benchmarken. Ping, jitter en packet loss staan keurig in grafieken. Het voelde eerlijk en gaf me vertrouwen in hun infrastructuur.

VOD‑sectie & ondertiteling
De film­catalogus bevat Hollywood, Bollywood en Aziatische cinema. Ik vond zelfs een geremasterde versie van een Koreaanse klassieker uit 1960. Onder­titels worden automatisch geladen en je kunt lettertype en kleur aanpassen – prettig bij projectorgebruik.

Support‑ervaring
Een firmware‑update op de Formuler gooide roet in het eten: streams weigerden te starten. Via het ticket­systeem kreeg ik binnen veertig minuten een patch‑bestand. Na installatie werkte alles weer vlekkeloos. Zulke snelle actie is zeldzaam.

Nadelen
Multi‑screen is beperkt tot twee streams tegelijk; voor een groter gezin is dat soms krap. Ook vraagt 4K‑VOD een stevige verbinding. Toch wegen deze punten niet op tegen de voordelen. Wie transparantie en hardware‑optimalisatie waardeert, zal blij zijn met beste iptv aanbieders in dit pakket.

IBOPlayerPro.nl – Drie maanden QR‑gemak op mijn LG‑televisie


Mijn ouders wilden overstappen op IPTV maar gruwelen van ingewikkelde installaties. Daarom testte ik IBOPlayerPro: een dienst die adverteert met ‘scan & kijk’. Mijn review van beste iptv op een LG OLED volgt hieronder.

QR‑activatie
Na aankoop ontving ik een e‑mail met QR‑code. Op de TV‑remote druk je simpelweg op de rode knop, scant de code met de smartphonecamera en voilà: alle zenders staan klaar. Geen klikken op virtuele toetsenborden, ideaal voor minder tech‑savvy gebruikers.

Interface en zenderbeheer
IBOPlayer heeft grote tegels, contrastrijke kleuren en een lettergrootte die zelfs op afstand leesbaar is. Favorieten kun je toevoegen via de smartphone‑app en worden onmiddellijk gesynchroniseerd. Het wisselen tussen categorieën gaat snel; mijn moeder vindt moeiteloos haar Turkse soaps, terwijl mijn vader schakelt naar Nederlandse actualiteiten.

Technische prestaties
Op 50 Mbps VDSL werkt 1080p zonder haperingen. 4K‑kanalen vergen iets meer bandbreedte, maar worden automatisch opgeschaald naar 1440p als de verbinding inzakt. De app ondersteunt AC3‑downmix, zodat een ouder soundbar‑systeem toch surroundeffect krijgt.

Klantenservice
Bij een vraag over EPG‑synchroon lopen kreeg ik via e‑mail binnen 30 minuten een XML‑link toegestuurd. Het bleek dat ik simpelweg de tijdzone op de tv verkeerd had staan; met de juiste instelling was alles opgelost.

Kleinigheden
De VOD‑sectie is functioneel maar niet zo uitgebreid als sommige concurrenten. Verder kun je geen timeshift doen op live‑kanalen. Toch wegen die nadelen niet op tegen het gebruikersgemak. Wie zoekt naar eenvoud en stabiliteit is met ibo iptv uitstekend bediend.

TiviMateIPTV.nl – Zes weken leven met een TiviMate‑first aanpak


Voor mijn Android‑set‑topbox zocht ik een dienst die maximaal inspeelt op TiviMate‑functionaliteit. De keuze viel op beste iptv via TiviMateIPTV.nl, mede omdat zij een bundel aanbieden met een levenslange TiviMate Premium‑licentie. Hier lees je hoe die keuze heeft uitgepakt.

Installeren in drie stappen
Na betaling via iDEAL ontving ik een PDF met QR‑code. Die scande ik in de TiviMate Companion‑app; meteen werd mijn licentie geactiveerd en playlist toegevoegd. Binnen vijf minuten bladerde ik door een strak vormgegeven programmagids, compleet met zenderlogo’s en kleurenfilters.

Smart Load Balancing
Een functie die me positief verraste is Smart Load Balancing. De app pingt continu de beschikbare servers en switcht bij hoge latency automatisch. Tijdens het WK‑voetbal schakelde de stream ongemerkt naar een reserve‑server toen de hoofdserver druk werd; ik merkte alleen dat de bufferindicator wegbleef.

PVR en catch‑up
Als grote liefhebber van talkshows schedule ik vaak opnames. Dankzij cloud‑PVR kan ik drie programma’s tegelijk opnemen zonder lokale opslag. Catch‑up gaat tot zeven dagen terug – erg handig als ik een middagvergadering had en de Vuelta‑etappe gemist heb.

VOD en ondertiteling
De on‑demand‑bibliotheek telt zo’n 35 000 titels. Vrijwel alles ondersteunt automatische externe ondertitels; met één klik downloadt TiviMate de juiste .srt. Dit werkte zelfs bij een obscure Scandinavische thriller. Ook de sorteer­filters op releasejaar en IMDb‑score maken binge‑avonden efficiënt.

Support & updates
Elke maand komt er een changelog. In de zes weken dat ik test, is onder meer picture‑in‑picture toegevoegd. Bugrapporten in de Telegram‑groep worden snel opgepakt. Voor vragen kreeg ik binnen een uur antwoord van een medewerker met codevoorbeelden – indrukwekkend.

Minpuntjes
TiviMate is verslavend uitgebreid; voor beginnende gebruikers kan de interface overweldigend zijn. Ook ontbreekt nog een kinderslot op VOD‑niveau. Toch raad ik iedereen met een Android‑box aan om tivimate via deze provider te proberen; het is de soepelste IPTV‑ervaring die ik tot nu toe had.

NederlandseIPTVDIRECT – Mijn halfjaar met een Benelux‑focussed dienst


Toen ik vorig jaar zomer verhuisde naar Brussel, wilde ik absoluut mijn vertrouwde Nederlandse tv‑zenders behouden. Na een aantal proefabonnementen koos ik voor de dienst van beste iptv in de Benelux. Hieronder deel ik mijn ervaringen van de afgelopen zes maanden – van de allereerste installatie tot dagelijkse gewoontes en kleine aandachtspunten.

Eerste indruk & installatie
De website oogt minimalistisch maar duidelijk. Prijzen, looptijden en apparaatondersteuning staan overzichtelijk gerangschikt, waardoor ik niet lang hoefde te zoeken naar het juiste pakket. Betalen via Bancontact ging probleemloos en binnen drie minuten zat er een m3u‑link plus EPG‑URL in mijn mailbox. Op mijn Philips‑Android‑tv gebruikte ik Smarters Player Lite: playlist geplakt, EPG‑link toegevoegd en alles werkte direct. Het viel me op hoe snel de zenders opstartten; gemiddeld twee seconden bij zappen, wat vergelijkbaar is met traditionele kabel.

Beeldkwaliteit & stabiliteit
De eerste echte test kwam tijdens de Formule‑1‑GP op Spa. Ik keek de volledige race in 50 fps HD zonder een enkel buffermoment, terwijl mijn partner op haar iPad tegelijk een VRT‑programma streamde. Sindsdien heb ik zelden storingen meegemaakt. Eén maal trad er blokvorming op bij hevig onweer; via de statuspagina zag ik dat de server tijdelijk werd herstart. Binnen tien minuten was alles hersteld.

Lokaal en internationaal aanbod
Wat mij aanspreekt, is de combinatie van Nederlandse, Vlaamse én internationale zenders. Regionale omroepen zoals Omroep Brabant of RTV Drenthe ontvang ik hier probleemloos – ideaal voor het volgen van lokale evenementen. Voor sport is er een aparte sectie met Ziggo Sport, Eleven Sports en zelfs ESPN Brasil. Via de VOD‑bibliotheek ontdekte ik daarnaast enkele verrassende Franse arthousefilms met Nederlandse ondertiteling. Het platform voegt wekelijks nieuwe titels toe; soms al 48 uur na de bioscooprelease.

Klantenservice & community
Bij vragen over parental controls kreeg ik via WhatsApp binnen twintig minuten hulp. De medewerker stuurde een video waarin stap voor stap werd uitgelegd hoe ik een apart kinderprofiel instel. Daarnaast bestaat er een Telegram‑groep waarin gebruikers elkaar advies geven over skins, zenderupdates en timeshift‑trucs. Die community‑feel maakt het net wat persoonlijker dan anonieme buitenlandse aanbieders.

Kosten en flexibiliteit
Na een maand proef ben ik overgestapt op een jaarabonnement, puur vanwege de aantrekkelijke korting. Handig is dat je zelf via het dashboard kunt upgraden of pauzeren; er komt geen verkoopmedewerker aan te pas. Ook fijn: bij betaling verschijnt er geen IPTV‑omschrijving op je bankafschrift, maar een neutraal bedrijfslabel – prettig voor privacy.

Kritische noot
Er kleven enkele minpunten aan de dienst. Zo ontbreken Nederlandse ondertitels soms in VOD‑titels uit Azië. Daarnaast is de EPG voor lokale radiozenders beperkt; titels worden soms als “N/A” weergegeven. Toch wegen deze nadelen niet op tegen het totaalpakket. Mijn conclusie? Wie snel en zonder gedoe iptv kopen wil en zowel NL als BE‑content belangrijk vindt, zit hier helemaal goed.

Mijn persoonlijke ervaring met OmniPTV


Toen ik vorig jaar besloot mijn traditionele kabelabonnement op te zeggen, begon mijn zoektocht naar de perfecte IPTV‑dienst. Na een reeks proefabonnementen kwam ik uiteindelijk uit bij OmniPTV, en sindsdien ben ik eigenlijk niet meer teruggegaan. In dit artikel neem ik je mee door mijn persoonlijke ervaringen: van de eerste installatie tot de dagelijkse praktijk en een paar onverwachte plus‑ en minpunten.

1. De eerste kennismaking
Wat me direct aantrok, was de heldere website van OmniPTV. Ik hoefde niet door eindeloze marketing­praatjes te scrollen; de pakketten, prijzen en functionaliteiten stonden overzichtelijk opgesomd. Aanmelden ging vlot: iDEAL‑betaling afgerond, bevestiging in mijn inbox, en nog geen vijf minuten later zat de m3u‑link + EPG‑URL al in mijn mailbox. Omdat ik voorheen al wat andere services had getest, wist ik precies wat ik moest doen in de TiviMate‑app. QR‑code gescand, playlist toegevoegd en klaar. De eerste zender startte binnen twee seconden – dat was meteen een goed teken.

2. Beeld‑ en geluidskwaliteit
Het grootste verschil met vorige aanbieders merkte ik bij sport. Tijdens een Eredivisie‑wedstrijd op zaterdagavond viel me op hoe stabiel de 50 fps‑stream was. Geen haperingen, geen artefacts, gewoon vloeiend beeld in 1080p. Later heb ik zelfs een paar 4K‑kanalen uitgeprobeerd op mijn LG OLED. Hoewel ik in het begin sceptisch was – 4K via IPTV? – bleek mijn glasvezel­verbinding ruim voldoende. De bitrate schommelt rond 22 Mbps en de kleuren sprankelen letterlijk van het scherm.

3. Contentaanbod
OmniPTV claimt duizenden zenders en dat lijkt geen loze belofte. Ik ben zelf groot fan van documentaires, en kan nu schakelen tussen BBC Four, Smithsonian Channel en zelfs obscure Australische natuurzenders. Mijn vriendin kijkt vooral Turkse series; ook die zijn in overvloed aanwezig. Voor onze neefjes is er een kindermodus met alleen kindershows, zodat we gerust de afstandsbediening kunnen afgeven. De VOD‑sectie (films + series) had ik in het begin onderschat, maar die blijkt geregeld geüpdatet. Nieuwe bioscooptitels verschijnen soms al binnen enkele weken.

4. Klantenservice
Eerlijk is eerlijk: ik had problemen verwacht, want IPTV blijft een techniek die soms gevoelig is voor DNS‑blokkades of tijdelijke serverdrukte. Op zondagmiddag liep ik eens tegen buffering aan tijdens een Formule 1‑race. Ik stuurde een WhatsApp‑bericht – niet verwachtend dat iemand zou reageren op een weekenddag. Binnen twintig minuten kreeg ik een bericht terug met drie alternatieve server­adressen en een korte video­handleiding. Na het wisselen was het probleem opgelost. Die responstijd is, vergeleken met mijn eerdere ervaringen, écht uitzonderlijk.

5. Gebruiksgemak
Omdat ik verschillende apparaten in huis heb, was multi‑device support cruciaal. Op mijn Android‑tablet gebruik ik Smarters Pro, op de LG‑tv TiviMate en op vakantie neem ik een Fire Stick mee. Dezelfde playlist werkt overal zonder gedoe. Handig vind ik ook de auto‑backup van favoriete kanalen in TiviMate; als ik een nieuwe box instel, staat mijn hele zenderlijst meteen klaar. Bovendien kun je parallelle streams activeren – ideaal wanneer ik een film wil kijken en mijn vriendin een serie.

6. Betrouwbaarheid
Na acht maanden actief gebruik is de uptime indrukwekkend. Volgens de status­pagina ligt de beschikbaarheid op 99,8 %, en dat komt overeen met mijn ervaring. Het enige serieuze incident was een storing van twee uur op nieuwjaarsdag; er werd toen een compensatie­dag toegevoegd aan alle accounts – nette service.

7. Kostenplaatje
In vergelijking met mijn oude kabelpakket bespaar ik nu bijna €25 per maand, terwijl ik juist méér zenders heb. OmniPTV biedt maand‑, halfjaar‑ en jaar­abonnementen; ik begon met één maand, maar heb na drie weken toch een jaar­pakket genomen vanwege de korting. Bovendien kun je met één druk op de knop IPTV kopen zonder verborgen kosten of installatie­monteurs die langskomen.

8. Kleine minpunten
Niets is perfect. Sommige VOD‑titels missen Nederlandse ondertitels en af en toe zit er een kanaal tussen met verouderde EPG‑informatie. Gelukkig kun je die zenders rapporteren; meestal is het binnen een dag gecorrigeerd. Ook vereist 4K‑streaming écht een stabiele 50 Mbps‑verbinding; op mijn ouders’ VDSL‑lijn is dat nog net niet lekker.

9. Waarom OmniPTV boven andere aanbieders?
Ik heb in totaal zes diensten getest, maar OmniPTV combineert voor mij de juiste factoren: beeld­kwaliteit, snelle support, uitgebreid content­aanbod en een community waar tips gedeeld worden. Het voelt niet als een anonieme buitenlandse provider, maar eerder als een Nederlandse dienst met oog voor de lokale markt. Daarom raad ik iedereen die nadenkt over beste iptv aan om op z’n minst de proef­periode te proberen. Voor mij persoonlijk is het dé oplossing gebleken om sport, series en internationale zenders in één pakket te hebben.

Action for Palestine Will Not Be Televised


Palestine Action has been proscribed as a terrorist group in the UK, just as the US-Israel, UK, and the West extend their systematic starvation of the Palestinian people. Politicians from across the liberal West wring their hands in public, whilst continuing to supply Israel weapons and offering Israel all the economic and political cover it requires – to help the settler colony exterminate Palestinians and force them into concentration camps.

With the proscription of Palestine Action, the costs of ‘not being silent’ have risen. There are two issues to raise here.

First, this high or additional cost is nothing new. The British State already leverages draconian bail conditions and solitary confinement against actionists via counter-terrorism laws, to intimidate others and repress anti-genocidal sentiment and acts. UK journalists reporting on US-Israeli imperialism have also been arrested under terrorism legislation; protestors in Australia have been subjected to grievous bodily harm by cops, and Palestinians are being murdered daily and methodically, including via Western humanitarianism.

Second and importantly, the focus on this proscription shifts the terrain from materially raising the costs of empire, into a liberal free speech debate.

Palestine Action’s wind-down meeting on Zoom bleakly illustrated the Western left’s commitment to this second front. In the meeting, a leading member thanked PA activists and its support network, as they detailed some of the group’s important victories over Euro-American-Israeli imperialism. But whilst they concluded that direct action should continue, they passed the mic to a representative from Defend Our Juries to establish the next stage of the struggle. The DOJ representative outlined a plan, whereby protestors would sit with “I support Palestine Action” signs until their presumable arrest by British police. This phenomenon has seen hundreds arrested over subsequent weekends. One British leftist journalist even willingly handed himself in to police. Alongside people gathering to march and block an occasional road to blow off steam (as a form of counterinsurgency perhaps), the material output of such moves is a more informed British State surveillance system – in addition to the further demobilization of and silencing around anti-imperialist action.

Revealing terrorism laws for what they are – tools of class and racial domination and suppression – and breaking them by their own logic is not unimportant. But this fight – for British citizens to be able to vocalize “I support Palestine Action!!” – has become the emphasis. At a time when Palestinians are being systematically starved, raped, and murdered, British citizens’ free speech has been centred rather than the UK’s material role in the genocide attacked.

Genocidal countries and companies, from Elbit to Caterpillar, from Barclays to Toll Holdings, will be delighted at this shift. Free speech debates don’t affect the production of missile parts or D9 bulldozers.

At this moment, we should be escalating as far as our capacity allows. This was somehow missed by Palestine Action in its sign-off. PA decided to contest the legal proscription, rather than adapt to the context and connect existing, recent, and allegedly 1000+ new recruits to each other. Nor did it emphasize more covert and diffuse direct action as the necessary present modality (sure, alongside a fight over terrorism legislation). Although de-proscribing PA would lessen sentences if caught and prosecuted ‘successfully’, it would not magically make direct action legal. We should not be predominantly fighting to save structurally racist British (colonial) law from itself, but to end the accelerating genocide.

If they will not raise the cost of empire directly themselves from within the imperial core, vigil-attendees/marchers/sign-holders should at least be organizing, whether that looks like building networks between above and below-ground groups, establishing supply chain support and propaganda avenues for actionists, developing legal support processes, and so on. By this point we all clearly recognize peaceful protest does not work. To continue to march – even very loudly – or to turn the battleground into a conflict over the right of Britons to vocalize “I Support Palestine Action”, actively obfuscates the brutalization of Palestinians which the group was founded to oppose.

Anime recommendation

The Idaten know only Peace
This anime is not for the faint of heart
The style will fool you

The plot is Idaten’s who are gods have sealed demons away after 800 years, they’re a couple who are still around but it’s quite peaceful until they stumble upon a frozen demon. It evolves into a war between the Idaten’s and the remaining demons. The demons are outmatched, but extremely resilient and clever.

John Keane joined Widespread Panic on the pedal steel for the encore and electric and acoustic guitar to finish out the first set.

I love Keane's pedal steel with Panic. He's played with them quite a bit, he produced a couple of their albums.


Widespread Panic played Iron Man in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne to start the 2nd Set tonight in Asheville, North Carolina.

Thoughts

When you join a discord call with a group of guys to watch full metal jacket and they start pausing the movie and do dick measuring contests with each other. Like guys you’re behind a screen watching a movie on discord no one cares about how much weight you can lift or how you were in the marines.

I understand men are just like this because it’s natural, but sometimes I want to just vibe and watch a movie. So I left and it’s just all so tiresome.
