A 2,400-year-old silver-gilt disc found in 1969 at Ai Khanum, a Hellenistic city in northern Afghanistan, shows a lion-drawn chariot, goddesses, an altar, and a celestial sphere with sun, moon, and a rayed deity.
Paul Stonehill walks through the French excavation, the Cybele and Nike reading, and how this Greco-Bactrian object sits at the edge of the ancient oikoumene, later reused on the path to the Kushan world.

Mark Booth is the author of several comprehensive books including The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics, and Higher Intelligence Made Our World, The Secret History of the World, The Secret History of the Universe: How Ancient Wisdom Made the Modern World, and The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Mysteries of the Inferno.
Mark explores the esoteric and initiatory dimensions of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, linking the poet’s vivid journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven to the ancient mystery-school traditions that survived in the Knights Templar.
He examines Dante’s close connection to Brunetto Latini, the Templars’ influence on the poem’s cosmology and imagery, and the ways Dante’s unconsummated love for Beatrice elevates romantic love into a cosmic, spiritual force. Booth also discusses how Dante’s experience of initiation beneath the streets of Florence, his portrayal of contemporary figures in Hell, and his vision of a universe moved entirely by love reveal a hidden mystical current running through medieval Catholicism and Western culture.

Tehran has priced the Strait of Hormuz. The bill went to Washington through Qatar, with Pakistan named as a consultation partner and the terms agreed with Beijing first.
Iran has set out what it wants in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Seven conditions were relayed to the United States through Qatar; three have been published and four have not. Sanctions relief is not among them — and in this episode Pepe Escobar explains why Tehran did not bother asking for something Congress and a Security Council veto make undeliverable.
The part that is not being reported anywhere else: before Xi Jinping’s state visit to Washington on Thursday 24 September, Abbas Araghchi flew to Beijing and told Wang Yi that Iran had reached a plan with Oman to reopen the trade. Transition Protocol’s reporting is that the three points were agreed between the two foreign ministers ahead of that visit. That specific claim is ours and is not independently confirmed; everything around it is sourced and linked below.
And if Washington refuses? On the recording Pepe Escobar says the retaliation will not be two to one or five to one but “20 to 2, or maybe 30 to 2.” That figure is Iran’s stated position as relayed by Escobar — it is not a Transition Protocol forecast. Separately, and on his own sourcing, Zulfiqar Ali puts the figure at 22 to 1. We have left both on the record rather than splitting the difference, because they come from different sources and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Ilana Rubenfeld was the founder and director of the Rubenfeld Synergy Center in Manhattan. Originally she was trained as a musical conductor, working with Leopold Stokowski at the Juilliard School of Music. She has practiced the Rubenfeld Synergy Method for over thirty years, and has trained over three hundred practitioners.
Here Ilana demonstrates her unique synergy method. In so doing, she points out that the practitioner must be mindful of their own body while working, so as not to incorporate the tensions and pains of those with whom they work. She discusses the deceptive simplicity of her method and the commitment required for training in Rubenfeld Synergy.

What is NATO 3.0? Is this a reboot or a failed compile? Is this failure mascaraeding behind a PR Puff piece by Rutte? On whose money and with whose soldier will NATO 3.0 be launched?
Description:
The Israeli war machine is running out of money, and the US empire is taking hits. On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down the severe warnings from Israel’s own leadership that its 3-front axis could collapse as its army budget falls dangerously low. This comes as Iranian missile and drone strikes in the Strait of Hormuz successfully hit a ship, injuring US soldiers and highlighting the extreme vulnerability of American imperialism.
Robert also brings you extreme battle footage from Yemen, where an F-15 has been shot down, further embarrassing the military-industrial complex. Plus, we expose the double standards of the region: Saudi Arabia playing sectarianism, Syrians escalating protests against economic mismanagement, and the powerful social justice movement in Jordan preparing for a Day of Rage in support of Gaza.
Stand against the war machine. See through the propaganda.
Russia unleashed one of its most powerful missile and drone strikes yet on Ukraine overnight, hitting Kiev, Odessa and Zaporizhzhia while wiping out key bridges and leaving Ukraine's air defense in near total collapse.
