🇧🇷🇨🇳⚡- “Western companies are pouring money into Brazil’s rare-earth industry, hoping the South American nation can help loosen China’s grip on the minerals used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and advanced weapons.
Miners are racing to develop deposits across Brazil, which holds the world’s second-largest rare-earth reserves after China. But their ambitions extend beyond digging up ore. Companies and government officials say they want to build processing plants that can separate rare earths, produce metals and eventually manufacture magnets.
The realization of that ambition would represent a much bigger challenge to China. While Beijing holds roughly half of global rare-earth reserves, it controls more than 90% of processing and magnet production, giving it a dominating influence over global supply chains,” - The Wall Street Journal.

Locals say Iran achieved its goal of creating strategic parity between Lebanon and Tel Aviv, leaving Israel “locked on both fronts.”

Statement on Recent Events in Belfast, 9 June 2026
The horrific and violent attack carried out in Belfast last night is fully in line with modern multicultural tyranny.
Ireland faces a real epidemic, one in which our nation not only competes with the world for housing, jobs and healthcare; we now fight for our lives.
The violent attacks and murders that we’ve seen committed just in the past few weeks are consistent with the escalating level of crime in this country which has followed the sharp rise in mass immigration, an escalation that can no longer be denied.
Political organisations across the 32 counties will deny this, their PR machines will dictate that this man who was so viciously attacked is being weaponised for nefarious agendas.
As if the fault for the worldview of common sense nationalists being constantly validated by an unrelenting stream of tragic events somehow lies with them.
Some of these organisations will claim republican and even nationalist ideologies, all of them will ultimately submit to the state ideology/religion of liberalism.
Regardless, they will dictate that Ireland belongs to the Irish is doublespeak, all while the Irish government signs a migration pact that ensures the sovereignty of Ireland once again is placed into an EU legislative chokehold.
The occupied 6 counties of north-east Ulster face the same treasonous elements.
An open Irish sea border that we know is vastly abused by immigration, with the Irish government confirming a significant percentage of illegal immigration flooding into the Irish state coming in through the 6 counties.
Of those immigrants who don’t migrate south, they are primarily absorbed by the Belfast area, which has always borne the brunt of mass immigration to this region.
The 2021 census reports that ~7.1% of the population of the northern statelet were non-nationals, or 135,000 people, a number that suppresses the real truth as it excludes all ethnic minorities with British or Irish citizenship.
On the surface 135,000 people may seem no cause for concern, however when one realises this is equivalent to a city the size of Limerick, the passivity results in real life consequences. 5 years on and estimates place the north’s population of non-nationals in the low to mid 200,000s, or the size of Cork City.
The replacement of native Irish populations across this island has not slowed down in recent years: in fact, it has only accelerated.
While the true numbers can be masked by hiding behind citizenship, the real life consequences of this transformation cannot be avoided, as evidenced by the brutal assault last night, inflicted ostensibly by one foreign national, but with ultimate responsibility lying with all open borders politicians.
Subsequent to the brutal and savage attack, the DUP condemned the attack as well as uncontrolled immigration in the House of Commons. This is despite campaigning repeatedly for the very open borders that enable most immigrants to enter the 6 counties, namely through the open sea border.
Proper immigration controls will never come to the 6 counties so long as all 18 million foreign nationals living in Britain have the legal right to enter and settle this region at any time, nor until a government willing to bring an end to mass immigration is in power in Dáil Éireann.
While politicians play pretend opposition, the Irish people face the sobering reality that mass immigration has put the safety of every Irishman and woman at risk.
Though attempts are always being made to distort and deny the truth before us, we as nationalists must remain committed to the goal of safer communities for our people.
Open borders and their natural consequences have not only failed us, they have proven that only a nationalist government will truly protect its citizens.
The National Party extends its sympathies and prayers to the man who was attacked as well as his loved ones, and wishes him a full and speedy recovery.
