To make people without histories, to make them without futures. To make them prisoners of the present.


Assyrians have posted more stuff online about one bishop talking nonsense about an empire thousands of years ago than the time when living, breathing Assyrians formed the NPU and were fighting to stay alive after a genocide and needed support ten years ago.


"Remarkable fact" the Ottomans literally issued a Jihad against all of its Christian minorities. The Islamization of modern day Turkey was inseparable from its nationalist project and sovereignty. People who cite Ataturk as a secular, nationalist leader are completely ignorant…

Remarkable fact: In 1900, Istanbul — capital of the Ottoman Caliphate — was only about 45% Muslim. The majority were Christians (Greeks, Armenians) and Jews. Today, it is 99% Muslim. The reason is not "Islam," which allowed that lost pluralism, but modern-day nationalism.



Desperation makes people cling on to any morsel of attention or support, even from lunatics. Back in 2010 when Islamists massacred Christian Assyrians in a church in Baghdad, Assyrians staged protests around the world. I helped organise the one in London, UK and was contacted by…

Tommy Robinson is perhaps the most radical figure of the global right today, and once again, he has released a message of support for us. We thank him deeply! So, where are those so-called Muslims, democrats, leftists, and socialists who only care about themselves...?



The growing arsenal of technological weapons that spread misinformation and disinformation from a god's eye view was the logical conclusion of an age defined by a declining belief in anything at all. Out of this mire, religion as we don't know it will emerge as a caricature of…

Iraq is so cursed that the man who presided over ISIS' ascent into a genocidal, territory-holding terrorist group is being put forward for a third term as PM and the most powerful Kurdish party is welcoming it. "ISIL gave us in two weeks what Maliki couldn't give us in eight…

The Shia bloc has officially announced Nouri Al-Maliki as their candidate for prime minister - his third term if elected. This is unprecedented in post-2003 Iraq and speaks to Al-Maliki’s shrewdness and survival instincts in a system that typically punishes premiers who seek even…

This is the goomba who banded together desperate Syrian Kurdish refugees and formed the 'Roj Peshmerga' (KDP), and directed them to attack Yazidi YBS positions (PKK affiliate) in Khanasor and surrounding areas, Iraq in March 2017 because they were resisting KDP control in Sinjar.

President #Barzani: "Our hearts are with #Rojava. We are never in favor of war, but if the Kurds are targeted with aggression, we are prepared for anything. And if there is a plan to eliminate the Kurds from the region, let it be known that we will all stand as one.



Chicago winters are not OK.


Don't forget to have a chat with baba Massoud about all of this.

No good choices are left for those backed into a corner by Islamists, but what Assyrians have always said is now emphasized. When push comes to shove, the mask slips and the nationalism spurring on this political project is proudly expressed ahead of the slogans and sound bites.

We do not trust any agreements with the Julani terror regime. The Kurds must be vigilant and prepared for any emergency. We will take Rojava Kurdistan by force, whatever the cost



Almost 10 years ago, one of the last remaining Assyrian ISIS captives from Khabour, Syria was released after several were executed / ransoms were paid. Today, Syrian regime forces have entered Khabour and started shelling Tel Tamer, one of the Assyrian towns in Khabour where…

I don't have TikTok, but if I did, it would be exactly like this.

Peter Hitchens’ TikTok account is incredible.

Everyone from big platform analysts to chronically online anonymous idiots fully demonstrated that they know nothing about Iraq or Syria over the past two decades, and now you're seeing how they know even less about Iran.
