🚨 BREAKING: Kylian Mbappé breaks silence over his decision to apologise
“It’s not that I completely regret my actionable apology, but it hurts to be humble and honest about certain aspects of events that ultimately affect your life, yet still get treated with disrespect and contempt.
The past few days have been unbearable, and I don’t want to keep carrying on like it doesn’t matter. In fact, it keeps getting worse, and I can’t endure any more.
When this issue broke out, I quickly said to myself, ‘But I didn’t intend any disrespect towards the Chinese people or its government, so why is this happening now?’ Fine. What about looking for solutions instead of trying to blame someone for the unfolding of this situation?
Are they even aware of the insult the government claimed? Or is this just another excuse to blind people from the obvious truth? Well, I don’t know.
I’ve been a professional human being since I turned ten years old. How to talk. What to say and when not to give a reaction. As a player who millions of people tune in to watch and hold in high esteem, I said to myself that I must act quick and tender an apology.
If I wanted things to blow out of proportion, I simply would have kept mute and let not just the Chinese media or government sell whatever narrative they wanted.
I am human and I have humour. Now that I’ve said that, I apologised and even reached out to organisations responsible for this kind of thing, and I didn’t get any responses.
My assumption is that the government have asked that they not respond or get involved. That’s fine if you ask me.
It was nothing much, only a joke. Now that the reaction got a very bad rap, I decided that fine. I’ll make my own research, and you won’t believe the discoveries I made.
It’s not that I want to categorise myself as one who is above the law or think that I am better than everyone else. But I certainly reacted better than most people would.
Having seen my apology rejected and that of the league president ignored, it hurt, because this interview didn’t happen today, nor did it intend for any bad outcome.
I’ve lost contracts, the Chinese people have been denied the opportunity of watching our beautiful game. That is not what bothers me the most. In fact, the league has lost quite some important deals. Which, when I think of it, I question why the overly restrictive rules by the Chinese government.
I didn’t insult China or anyone. The meme wasn’t created by me either. And at this point, I no longer feel the need to apologise. I would have retracted my statement. But I’ll leave it that way.
The hate I’ve gotten from people who are either misinformed or not interested in finding out what truly happened is entirely unfounded.
At this moment, I am neither sorry nor interested in what they (China Gov) decide on. They want to suspend broadcasting in their country? That’s up to them.
What they don’t have the power to do is suspend me or suspend the league franchise from entertaining those who care to watch us.
The companies can take away their deals, brands can back off. And even angry Chinese mobs can take down my images within their reach. What they can’t do is make me stop loving football or reacting to funny stuff I see online.
I did not insult China and I am not apologising any further. This issue doesn’t need to go further than it has already.
One day, history or well-meaning people of China will judge between me and Mao Zedong for who they think is a dictator.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post fabricates a long "breaking" statement from Kylian Mbappé retracting or downplaying his China apology over a Mao meme. His verified late-October apology was a brief statement of regret with no such follow-up reported.

An open letter to Mr @AbdulElSayed
Dear Mr. Abdul El-Sayed,
As an Arab Muslim who once believed in the promises of political Islam before recognizing its ideological dangers, allow me to share something with you: there is no shame in admitting that we were once wrong. On the contrary, intellectual honesty begins when we find the courage to question the very ideas we once defended.
Your decision to publicly disavow the Muslim Brotherhood is great. However, disavowing an organization without confronting the ideology that produced it is a political statement rather than a genuine intellectual transformation.
The Muslim Brotherhood Mr Abdul is not merely a political organization. It represents an ideological project rooted in the conviction that religion should serve as the foundation of political authority and that society should ultimately be governed according to its “particular” interpretation of Islam.
This is precisely where the danger lies.
The fundamental problem is not simply who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, but the worldview that blurs the boundaries between religious faith and political supremacy, between individual conscience and collective ideological obedience, and between democratic participation and the ambition to reshape the state according to a religious political doctrine.
Your past public defense of Mohamed Morsi does not, by itself, establish that you supported the Muslim Brotherhood, but it raises an important question worth addressing openly: did you once believe that the Brotherhood’s political project represented a legitimate path toward democracy and justice? And if your views have evolved, what intellectual lessons led you to reconsider them?
I ask because I know what ideological transformation means.
Many of us in the Arab and Muslim world grew up surrounded by narratives that portrayed political Islam as the authentic expression of our faith, while presenting its opponents as enemies of religion itself.
Breaking free from that intellectual framework requires more than changing political affiliations. It requires separating the beauty of our faith from the ambitions of those who seek political power in its name.
And this distinction is essential: Islam is a faith shared by nearly two billion people. Radical Islam or Political Islam is a political ideology. Criticizing the latter is not an attack on the former.
I would genuinely respect a public acknowledgment that says: I once believed these ideas offered answers, but experience, evidence, and reflection taught me otherwise.
That would be far more meaningful than a simple disavowal.
Because the real struggle against extremism is not merely organizational. It is philosophical, educational, and moral. It is a struggle for a society in which religious identity never determines the worth of citizenship, where freedom of conscience belongs equally to Muslims, Christians, Jews, and those of no faith, and where no political movement claims a divine mandate to govern others.
Mr Abdul, intellectual evolution should never be treated as a weakness, on the contrary, it should be celebrated when it is sincere, transparent, and accompanied by the courage to confront uncomfortable truths.
The greatest victory over an ideology is not to deny that it once influenced us, but to explain why we no longer believe in it.
And perhaps that honest conversation could help many young Muslims who are still struggling to distinguish between devotion to their faith and submission to political Islam.
Help those young Muslims Mr Abdul, I hope you do it, God bless.

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio MIC DROPS Iran to the media 🫳🏻🎤
"Think about what we're saying here! The Iranian regime is basically arguing is, 'unless we get what we want, not only will we BLOW UP SHIPS, but we will DESTROY the energy infrastructure of our neighbors in the entire region!' Just think about that, because I think we skip over that, like that's some sort of NORMAL behavior. That's not NOT behavior!"
"JUST IMAGINE if Iran had a nuclear weapon!"
"Then they wouldn't be threatening to blow up pipelines. Then they'd be threatening to kill tens, if not HUNDREDS of thousands of people. That's who we're dealing with. So I think the fact that you even have to ask that question is a reminder of the nature of the regime that we're dealing with."
Rubio is right. A regime that holds the world's oil supply hostage can NEVER be allowed near a nuke, and Donald Trump did the right thing
Every Democrat who wanted another Hussein-style deal with these maniacs is on the wrong side of history. Iran only understands strength.

Canada should not get into bed with Ursula von der Leyen.
She was never elected by a single voter. She was nominated by heads of government and confirmed behind closed doors in Brussels. You can't vote her out. Neither can anyone in Europe. That alone should end the conversation, but it gets worse.
This is the woman who negotiated billions in vaccine contracts with Pfizer's CEO by text message, then refused to show the texts. The EU's own court ruled against her. Billions in public money, decided in private chats, hidden from the public. And she survived it. She always survives it.
She survived a no-confidence vote. She survived the German defence ministry scandals, the missing data, the consultant contracts. She survives everything because the system she runs isn't built to hold her accountable. It's built to protect her.
Now look at what she's selling us. Digital ID wallets for every citizen. Officially voluntary today. But once that infrastructure exists, governments always find new uses for it. That's not a conspiracy, that's just how power works. And "ever closer association" means Canada falls in line behind EU rules on digital ID, data, and AI. Rules we didn't write. Rules our Parliament doesn't control.
Carney calls this "more sovereignty." Let's be honest about what it is. It's trading dependence on Washington for dependence on Brussels. That's not sovereignty. That's changing landlords.
And here's the part nobody in Ottawa wants to say out loud: there is no vote. No referendum. No say for the Canadian people. The federal cabinet can sign this and ratify it on its own. The same people who lecture us about democracy are cutting a deal with an unelected leader, in a city most Canadians will never visit, about rules that will govern our daily lives.
Europe's farmers already figured her out. They drove their tractors into Brussels because her green rules were strangling them. Her own member states grumble about how much power she's grabbed for herself. Even the people who work under her call her "Queen Ursula."
So why is Canada crawling into bed with her? Because Carney wants a headline about standing up to Trump, and Ursula wants another country in her orbit. Both of them get what they want. The Canadian people get the bill.
We don't need a new master. We need our own house in order.
Canada deserves better than Ursula's bed.

BREAKING: Quebec tells elementary school children to take the towels off their heads before class.
The new Parti Québécois government is pressing ahead with its election promise. Elementary pupils will not wear hijabs, kippahs, turbans or large crosses in public classrooms. Education Minister Joël Arseneau has called it non-negotiable. They were elected on the platform and intend to keep their word.
It simply extends the existing secularism rules that already apply to teachers and other public employees under Bill 21. Their Aryan Chad Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has been clear: schools should be places where children mix freely, without being marked out by religion from the earliest age. A symbol can come off for the school day, much as a uniform is accepted.
Predictable objections have already arrived from gay leftist civil liberties groups and certain foreign religious organizations such as the World Sikh Organization (WSO). They call it unnecessary. Quebec, however, has chosen a clearer model of state secularism, closer to the French approach than the looser arrangements elsewhere in Canada. The province is entitled to decide how its public schools operate.
Some families may prefer to leave for Ontario. Quebec has long been willing to maintain its own standards rather than dilute them for the sake of consensus. The government is moving quickly and keeping their promises.

Ya tenemos la foto completa del hackeo de Binance. Y es mucho peor de lo que se contó anoche: 6.300 millones de dólares. El mayor robo de la historia de las criptomonedas. Cuatro veces el de Bybit.
Os explico lo que ha pasado, porque la historia es de película.
No reventaron ninguna clave privada. Hackearon el portátil de UN ingeniero de Binance. Desde ese portátil accedieron a un contenedor interno del sistema y empezaron a firmar retiradas como si fueran la propia Binance. En una sola transacción contra una de las hot wallets había 50 autorizaciones firmadas. El atacante no rompió la caja fuerte: se sentó en la silla del empleado que tiene la llave.
Resultado: vaciaron hot wallets en DIEZ blockchains a la vez. 200.630 ETH y 185 tokens en Ethereum, 18.270 bitcoins, 233 millones de XRP, más Solana, Tron, Avalanche... La mayor parte de los 6.300 millones salió en apenas 20 minutos.
El detalle que parece escrito por un guionista: dos días antes, Binance había anunciado que acababa de repeler una campaña de hackers de Corea del Norte que usaban falsas entrevistas de trabajo para colar malware. Repelieron el asalto a la puerta y entraron por la ventana del empleado. Hoy TRM Labs y Chainalysis atribuyen el ataque "con alta confianza" a TraderTraitor, la unidad norcoreana del grupo Lazarus. Los mismos de Bybit. Han cuadruplicado su propio récord en 20 meses.
La contraofensiva también ha sido histórica: en menos de 12 horas se han congelado unos 3.000 millones. Tether bloqueó más de 1.500, Circle 823, Ripple unos 200 en RLUSD, y hasta Coinbase, el mayor competidor de Binance, se ofreció a ayudar bloqueando envíos a las direcciones del hacker. La mitad del botín ya está muerto. La otra mitad, en Bitcoin y Ethereum que nadie puede congelar, se está lavando ahora mismo en cadenas de transferencias cada vez más pequeñas.
Binance ha suspendido las retiradas mientras revisa sus sistemas, asegura que los fondos de los usuarios serán cubiertos al completo, y espera reabrir en unas 48 horas. Ese será el verdadero momento de la verdad: el día que reabran, veremos si la confianza aguanta.
Y una reflexión final: el mayor hackeo de la historia no ha tocado la criptografía. Ha tocado a una persona. Las blockchains funcionaron perfectamente. El eslabón débil sigue siendo el mismo de siempre.
A Binance lo hackearon por una nueva estafa que se llama entrevista de trabajo.
Binance tiene mucho software y son más vulnerables, hay más formas de entrar, requiere mayor seguridad.
En el caso de Tangem o Ledger, tu tienes toda la seguridad de la propia blockchain, y no estás expuesto en diferentes servidores ni eres un blanco público de billones de dólares, a no ser que tu la cagues interactuando con algún protocolo que no deberías o comprendo tu wallets ya modificada.
Y es importante que se entienda que han hackeado a Binance, no a la blockchain .

⚡️The most unsettling possibility is that the economy keeps functioning even as it stops needing large portions of the population economically.
For centuries, wages served two purposes. They compensated people for producing economic output, and they distributed the purchasing power needed to consume what everyone else produced.
The same payroll that looked like an expense to one company was revenue for thousands of others.
AI is beginning to break that relationship.
A corporation replaces employees with machines, lowers costs, increases output and transfers more of the economic surplus toward capital owners.
For that individual company, the decision is rational.
But when thousands of companies do it simultaneously, the same process begins weakening the purchasing power that supports the broader consumer economy.
Production becomes increasingly independent of human labor while consumption remains dependent on the distribution of income.
That is the contradiction.
And capitalism can absorb this imbalance for longer than people realize.
Wealthy households, corporations, governments and institutional capital can sustain enormous economic activity even as ordinary households lose bargaining power.
Corporate profits can rise. GDP can expand. Financial assets can appreciate.
Meanwhile, millions of people become less capable of participating in the prosperity those numbers supposedly represent.
Cheaper intelligence does not automatically make housing, energy, healthcare or other scarce necessities affordable.
So the productivity gains accumulate disproportionately among those who own the systems producing them.
And eventually, the distribution problem becomes political.
As wages become a smaller mechanism for circulating purchasing power, governments face increasing pressure to redistribute the gains from machine production.
The state becomes more important precisely as private industry becomes less dependent on human labor.
That is the extraordinary tension emerging inside the AI economy.
We are approaching a world where producing abundance becomes increasingly easy while distributing access to it becomes increasingly difficult.
And that leads to the question that will define the next economic order:
What gives a human being a claim on civilization’s resources when civilization no longer needs that human being’s labor to produce them?
That question will have to be answered long before AI replaces every job.

⚡️Raoul is identifying a profound economic inversion:
AI is making intelligence abundant while turning deliberate human effort into a luxury signal.
The Prada example reveals something bigger than a preference for handmade art.
For centuries, humans were valuable because their labor was necessary to produce things. AI is beginning to remove that necessity across enormous portions of the cognitive economy.
Now something strange happens.
When a machine can produce a beautiful illustration in seconds, spending weeks having humans draw it becomes a statement of economic power.
The inefficiency itself becomes part of the luxury.
Prada is effectively signaling that it can afford to reject the cheapest and fastest means of production. In a world obsessed with optimization, the ability to choose inefficiency becomes a form of status.
But here is the contradiction that makes this genuinely interesting.
The same AI revolution that reduces the market value of ordinary illustrators can increase the prestige of a hand-drawn illustration commissioned by an elite luxury brand.
The artist’s labor becomes less economically scarce across the broader market, while the brand’s ability to package that labor as something exceptional becomes more valuable.
The scarcity premium migrates from the creator toward whoever controls the meaning, provenance and distribution of the creation.
That is a much larger shift.
AI can imitate brushstrokes, imperfections, texture and artistic style. Eventually, the visual appearance of human effort tells you almost nothing about its origin.
So verifiable authorship itself becomes valuable.
And this is where Raoul’s deflation thesis needs one more layer.
AI drives down the cost of reproducible cognition. But that does not guarantee economy-wide deflation. The purchasing power released from cheap intelligence competes for things that remain constrained: physical resources, energy, desirable locations, trusted relationships, original experiences and scarce human attention.
The resulting economy becomes increasingly polarized.
Some forms of human work lose their scarcity premiums. Other forms acquire extraordinary premiums because people deliberately choose them despite cheaper alternatives.
And the deeper inversion is almost philosophical:
For most of history, human effort was valuable because it was required. In the AI economy, certain forms of human effort become valuable precisely because they are no longer required.
That is what Prada is beginning to commercialize.
The next luxury economy will increasingly sell something machines can imitate but cannot establish on their own:
The credible history of a human being having actually done the work.
And whoever owns the trust surrounding that history will capture much of the premium.

To Brian Moynihan, the Board of Directors, and the executives who run anti money laundering compliance at Bank of America @BankofAmerica:
You are not our bank. We are your supply.
Every dollar you lend, every point of interest you earn, every one of the $27 billion in profit you report each year begins as a deposit from an American family. You need us far more than we need you. I am writing to make sure every one of those families understands that, and to tell you what happens next.
My name is Everett Stern. I am the @HSBC whistleblower. Fourteen years ago I gave up my career and risked my life to hand the United States government evidence of a bank moving money for cartels, terrorists, and sanctioned regimes. I did it in defense of this country. I am doing it again now.
To the American people reading this, here is the situation in plain language.
Every bank in America is required by law to stop money that belongs to drug cartels, terrorists, and sanctioned regimes. That is not paperwork. It is the wall between the people who want to kill Americans and the dollars they need to do it. On October 13, @USTreasury announced that at Bank of America, that wall came down. The bank did not deny it. In its own resolution with @FinCENnews, Bank of America admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act. Willful means it was not a mistake. Decisions were made, and the money moved.
Here is what Treasury says moved. More than $5 billion in suspicious transactions that were never reported on time, over $1 billion of it tied to national security risks. Trillions of dollars that the bank’s monitoring system failed to properly watch at all. Transactions showing the fingerprints of Chinese money laundering networks. Trade-based laundering with a substantial nexus to the southwest border. Customers flagged for narcotics proceeds whose red flags sat unaddressed. And 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Belarus, Iran, Burma, Somalia, and global terrorism programs, including payments routed through blocked banks and designated individuals allowed to transact because the alerts were not calibrated to catch them. Regulators ordered the bank to fix this in December 2024. More than a year later, Treasury says, it still was not escalating suspicious activity.
The price for all of that was $1.2 billion. Two weeks of profit. If a working family paid two weeks of income for helping move money for sanctioned regimes, we would call it an outrage. When America’s bank does it, we call it a settlement.
@SecScottBessent said it himself when he announced the penalty: even the biggest financial institutions are not above the law. I agree with him. I am writing to find out whether he means it, and whether you do.
Not one person has been charged. Not one.
I am working with community leaders in Washington. Republicans and Democrats are standing behind this, because national security does not have a party. Millions of Americans have read my letters to Treasury in the past week. I am pressing Secretary Bessent to refer your board and your AML leadership to the @DOJCrimDiv for criminal prosecution, and I am calling on FBI Director @FBIDirectorKash to open the investigation that should have begun the day you admitted it.
To the leadership of Bank of America, the American people have three questions, and I am asking them on their behalf.
After your bank admitted to the government that it willfully broke the law, did one executive lose his job for it? Name him.
Treasury says your program failed on staffing, training, monitoring, and audit, all at once. Tell the public what you rebuilt. Not what you spent. What you changed.
Was anyone at Bank of America held personally responsible for what you admitted, or did the institution absorb it like a bad quarter?
The American people are waiting for your answers. So am I.
And if those answers do not come, Americans are prepared to respond accordingly, lawfully and peacefully, and in the one language a bank understands. Americans will take their deposits to community banks, credit unions, and regional banks that have never needed a billion-dollar settlement to learn the difference between a customer and a cartel. Americans will stand outside your branches, within the law, and say so. And I will be there with them.
This is not a boycott. It is a free market telling a bank what it thinks of blood money.
Because that is what this is. Every terrorist attack begins with a wire transfer. Every overdose of an American son or daughter starts at a bank where someone cleared an alert they should not have cleared. No settlement washes that off.
The news cycle is not going to save you. The American people are not going to forget. And too big to jail ends here.
