The World Forum - November 5th, 2025

  As I have mentioned a short while ago, IFP is under attack from Disqus. The Admin Team at Disqus is now monitoring this site and routinely deleting comments they find "offensive". It really has nothing to with ToS, we are being targetted. I have built a back-up site to IFP and have the commenting engine already lined up.

Beijing last week also said that it had conducted patrols and combat drills near Taiwan as a "solemn warning to the recent U.S.-Taiwan collusion activities."
