    The most influential media organizations

    The most influential media organizations in the world between March 2011-2021.

    Yalman Haceroglu 2

    Today, there is almost a consensus among most thinkers and political theorists around the world that:: The media in its various forms and patterns represents the most powerful strategic weapon possessed by major countries or even medium-developed countries..

    And when we say media, we mean:: written, audio, visual and electronic media.. And electronic media, as is known, is represented by various means of communication and social media such as Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram and others.
    ..
    Since the emergence of the theories of: globalization and Americanization or the small village or the era of “infomedia… open media” and specifically since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, followed by the disintegration and fragmentation of the Soviet Union and the rest of the communist bloc in the world and with it the disintegration of the “Warsaw Pact” military in the years 1990 ~ 1991, we say after all that important theories and major studies have emerged about the role of the media:: in controlling the opinions, desires and inclinations of all the peoples of the earth from east to west;; and from north to south;; With new media philosophies and theories, the vast majority of which fall under what is called ((capitalism / liberalism)), the theories emerged: Samuel Hemington in (The Clash of Civilizations), Francis Fukuyama in (The End of History), Henry Kissinger in (The Last American Empire), Zbigniew Brzezinski in ((The Propaganda Depth of the Capitalist World)) and many others that there is no room here to discuss in detail. Media schools and philosophies have become more efficient, mature and capable of controlling the opinions and tendencies of all the peoples of the earth; and more capable even of controlling global markets and stock exchanges. And the entire media has become ((an advanced specialized industry called the modern media industry))

    ** On 17 ~ 5 ~ 2021, the International Media Organization published;; It is one of the important institutions associated with the United Nations. An important and detailed study on the five most important institutions and media outlets that had a significant impact on political, economic, financial, cultural and social events in the world as a whole over a full ten years, specifically for the period from March 2011 to March 2021. These five institutions are:

    1~ The British Broadcasting Corporation BBC.. It is a British institution headquartered in London / England.

    It was founded in 1923.

    It has three icons: BBC in English.. and BBC in Arabic.. as radio stations.. with a satellite station with the same name BBC.. Many consider it one of the most neutral, reliable and solid media outlets; and its various activities are followed by more than 2 billion people around the world from different races, nationalities and continents.

    2~ The American CNN channel; headquartered in Washington, USA. It was founded in New York City, USA, on 4/13/1979 by the famous billionaire “Robert Murdoch”, who is Jewish in religion and nationality; and many researchers and those interested in media and propaganda consider it one of the most important and dangerous satellite channels in the world; as some accuse it of having dangerous and secret relations with many Zionist and Masonic organizations around the world; and the latest reliable statistics about it indicate that there are approximately one and a half billion people around the world who follow its curricula and news around the clock.

    3~ Fox News is an American satellite channel; its headquarters are in the American capital, Washington; it was founded in 1995 by American businessman Robert Maxwell and other shareholders. Many consider it to represent the American Democratic Party; while others consider it to be the official spokesperson and close to all liberal movements around the world. It has two main sections; the first is English-speaking; and the second is French-speaking. The latest statistics and studies about it indicate that the number of its followers is close to one billion people around the planet, representing the five continents of the world.

    4~ The Chinese News Agency (Xinhua) is the official Chinese agency allowed to operate within Chinese geography; it was established in late June 1933 with a news/guidance orientation only; but after 1973 and after the Chinese Communist Party tightened its complete control over all parts of China under the leadership of “Mao Zedong”, the entire agency turned into the media and propaganda wing of the ruling Chinese Communist Party since that date until today; and it broadcasts its programs exclusively in the local Chinese language; and the number of its employees is approximately 3965 employees, technicians and consultants; and its headquarters is in the Chinese capital, Beijing itself; and the latest studies and research on it indicate that the number of its followers ranges between one billion and one and a half billion people. The vast majority of them are from the Chinese people themselves; and it has no clear influence outside the official international borders of China.

    5~ Al Jazeera Qatari Channel; It was initially established in the British capital London on 1~11~ 1996.. And after only four months of its work, it moved to the Qatari capital Doha; and huge sums of money were allocated to it, close to 2 billion dollars;; and Al Jazeera Qatari Channel broadcasts in three sections: the Arabic section, headquartered in Doha; the English section, headquartered in England; and the French section, headquartered in Paris.

    The number of its employees and experts is approximately 1955 employees and affiliates in its three sections.. Al Jazeera Channel adopts a very mature and efficient media philosophy that combines moderate political Islam with limited disciplined freedoms. The latest studies and solid research on it indicate that the number of its followers ranges between 570 and 600 million people in the entire world;; It is also accused of being the official spokesperson for the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood movement.

    Thus, we have provided a brief description of the five most important media institutions around the world, with reference to the role of contemporary media in influencing the trends and opinions of most people in the world as a whole.

  • Russia develops long-term ties with UAE and Turkey in a highly polarized world

    Russia develops long-term ties with UAE and Turkey in a highly polarized world

    RIA 8460564.HR

    Russia’s largest economic forum (SPIEF) held in St. Petersburg on June,14 – June, 17 has resulted in strengthening ties with the two strategic partners – the UAE and Turkey.

    UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, while on a working visit to Russia, held a meeting with Vladimir Putin at the SPIEF.

    “I am pleased to be here today with you, your Excellency, and we wish to build on this relationship and we put our trust in you to do so,” Sheikh Mohammed told Putin.

    According to Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, “for the UAE, this is a “calculated risk” it is willing to take, part of the Gulf nation’s policy of de-escalation and dialogue in an increasingly polarized world”.

    “This polarization has to be broken”, – he added. “[UAE President] meets a lot of Western leaders, it is also important for him to hear from President Putin to be able also to support the international community’s collective effort, in order to go beyond the current polarization,” Gargash said.

    Meanwhile, Alexey Sazanov, Russia’s Finance Minister Deputy, said that Moscow is now seeking new opportunities to strengthen economic and trade ties with UAE, Turkey and Malaysia. Among highly debated issues is a dialogue to make double taxation agreements with these countries more flexible.

    At the beginning of 2022, the UAE Ministry of Finance announced the introduction of federal corporate income tax at a rate of 9% from June 1, 2023 for medium and large businesses. For companies with a profit that does not exceed 375,000 dirhams ($102,000) per year, the rate remains zero. The changes also did not affect charitable organizations, investment funds, state corporations and enterprises engaged in the extraction of natural resources.

    Meanwhile, Turkey received the Russia’s SPIEF delegation in Istanbul in May, 2023.

    During the meeting, SPIEF Director Alexei Valkov, Professor Ahmet Kasim Khan and IC Holding CEO Murad Bayar made presentations, discussed Russian-Turkish economic relations, strategic cooperation and investment opportunities.

    “Today, diplomatic and trade relations between Russia and Turkey reflect a long-standing friendship that persists despite the prevailing political circumstances. It is especially worth highlighting the economic potential of Russian-Turkish relations, which represents significant commercial opportunities in the market,” said Professor Ahmet Kasym Khan.

  • Turkey’s COLLAPSE Is FAR Worse Than You Think

    Turkey’s COLLAPSE Is FAR Worse Than You Think

    Turkey’s COLLAPSE Is FAR Worse Than You Think, HyperInflation, Bankrupt

    The declining value of the Turkish lira, especially during the 2018–2022 Turkish currency and debt crisis, had a significant impact on the recent decrease in the country’s USD-based nominal GDP figures. High inflation continues to be a problem in the early 2020s. According to the IMF’s estimates, published in the IMF WEO Database of October 2022, Turkey is forecasted to have the world’s 20th-largest nominal GDP and 11th-largest GDP by PPP by the end of 2022.

    This Drone Will Change Everything

    A drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its embedded systems, that work in conjunction with onboard sensors and a global positioning system (GPS).

    TAI Drone

    Drones now have many functions, ranging from monitoring climate change to carrying out search operations after natural disasters, photography, filming, and delivering goods. But their most well-known and controversial use is by the military for reconnaissance, surveillance and targeted attacks.

    Here is an amazing invention that will change everything.

  • Why does Turkey have a variety of tanks?

    Why does Turkey have a variety of tanks?

    Why does Turkey have a variety of tanks? What is the purpose of each type of tank?

    Turkey has such a vast array of Cold War (and later eras as well) tanks because they figured out that upgrading existing machines is cheaper than buying new ones. Their M48s, M60s, and Leopard 1s are certainly not the best tanks in the world by any means, however they work just fine in supporting infantry on the low intensity battlefields of the Middle East.

    The M48 Pattons of the Turkish army are upgraded with night vision equipment, an improved engine, and a better fire control system. Some are equipped with ERA, I believe.

    The Leopard 1A5s of the Turkish Army also have an improved FCS, but no armor upgrades to speak of (unlike Canadian Leo 1s, which had composite armor upgrades).

    The M60s of the Turkish Army are unrecognizable from their original form. This is what they looked like when Turkey bought them

    This is what they look like now.

    M60 tanklarinin Turkiyede modernize edilmis hali

    The M60 Sabra has a 120mm gun, ERA, composite armor inserts, improved optics and FCS, more powerful engine, and an internal mortar for some reason!

    Expensive upgrade, but cheaper than buying new tanks. That being said, Turkey is developing its own tanks, like the Altay, which will be their most modern MBT. When the Altay enters service, the Leopard 2A4s and M60s will replace the M48s and Leo 1s as the second string tanks of the Turkish army (most likely).

  • What is the comparison between the Su-35 and the F-35?

    What is the comparison between the Su-35 and the F-35?

    Anyone who thinks the Su-35 would win falls into one of three distinct categories: first, he could be a Russian bot (yes there are tons of them, along with a fair number of Russian sympathizers who love to post); second, he could be a person who is very poorly informed (most likely reliant on hopelessly dated/inaccurate information); third, he could be a person who loves to assign ludicrous/unrealistic restrictions and rules of engagement that profoundly limit the F-35 for inexplicable reasons (i.e.both pilots must be able to see the white’s of each other’s eyes before the fight begins).

    There is simply no comparison to be had between a stealth fighter and a non-stealth fighter. None. The Su-35 is a perfectly capable plane, it just has no means to detect an F-35 before an F-35 detects (and subsequently kills or evades) it. It’s a fact, the F-35 can detect the Su-35 well within its missile’s guaranteed kill range while remaining undetectable by the Russian plane. The Su’s great maneuverability, its best feature, does not solve that problem. What’s more, even if the detection range of the SU’s IRST pod expands (though there are limits) the range and kill radius of U.S. missiles is just as certain to expand. In fact, once LREW and the AIM 260 (the AMRAAM replacement missile) comes online, there will be even less hope for the Su-35 and there already isn’t any. Though little is known, the AIM 260 is probably a long-range ramjet missile with an AESA radar that the Air Force has been working on for a few years. It’s probably a combination between the British Meteor missile’s ramjet, which provides a much enhanced guaranteed no escape zone since it can be throttled up as it gets closer to the target and a combination optical/infrared seeker and AESA seeker ( the latter of which the Japanese have already deployed on one of their new missiles). In other words, it is a combination of mature technologies. The U.S. will soon have a very long range (mach 4+) missile, that is practically impossible to spoof because of its multimode seeker, with vastly improved terminal performance compared to the already superb AAMRAM. The LREW is a multi-stage air to air missile that will likely outrange any air to air missile ever conceived.

    The only real air to air deficit for the F-35 is total missile carriage capacity; even that is being remedied.. the internal missile capacity of the F-35 is (supposedly) getting enhanced to six AMRAAMs during the block 4 upgrade from its current capacity of 4. If that still isn’t sufficient, there is also another new class of missile, called the SACM which may jump the internal carriage to 12. SACM is a program of record that will result in a hit to kill missile akin to Lockheed’s Cuda concept, which is significantly shorter than an AMRAAM, with similar range and seeker but no explosive warhead. The shorter, lighter, missiles allow for double carriage. While these will not be as sophisticated as the LREW or AIM 260 they will certainly complicate an enemy’s plans.

    So, how would a typical engagement go between the two planes? Well, Russian ground-based VHF radar may very well warn a squadron of Su-35’s sitting on alert that stealth fighters are inbound though it can not track them or target them precisely (there is a lot of electronic interference). The squadron of Su-35’s launch to intercept. Within minutes the VHF radars in the area go down. After all, they must be on in order to see F-35’s and if they are on, the F-35’s can also see the radars and will lob standoff missiles at them. F-35’s are excellent wild weasels.

    Now the newly airborne squadron of 12 SU-35′s use their IRST pods to search the sky for F-35’s. But these don’t help. For starters, IRST has a very narrow field of view and are highly impacted by environmental conditions like humidity… Pilots equate it to looking at the sky through a straw. Meanwhile, the F-35’s have some of the most powerful AESA radars ever mounted on a fighter aircraft (and Su-35’s are perfectly visible from more than 100 miles away), a supercomputer and millions of lines of code also tell the F-35’s exactly how many and what type of planes they are up against and the first F-35 aircraft that detects the Russian flight seamlessly shares that information across the entire squadron, heck the F-35’s powerful computer might even be able to identify the squadron to which the enemy planes belong. And the F-35’s aren’t alone. They have MALDs with them, which are basically cheap drones designed to mimic stealth fighters.

    The Sukhoi’s are flying to the last known location that they were directed to by the high-frequency ground radar before it went offline. Suddenly, one of the Su-35’s believes he’s gotten “lucky” when he sees a bright spot on his IR sensors. He’s found one! A single-engine fighter! What he has actually detected is a MALD, which he believes to be an F-35 and immediately the squadron of Sukhois begin to engage. More brights spots appear. The MALDs take evasive action and the Sukhois bleed energy engaging. It was a trap of course (the F-35s had plenty of time to prepare). As the Russians begin to engage the dummy targets, their missile warning lights pop on. Before they have sufficient time to react several explode. Hey, but at least they downed two drones! The remaining Su-35’s turn tail and run. But F-35’s were anticipating the retreat, and like good shepherds driving their sheep to the slaughter, the American fighters ran the Russian planes directly into more missiles launched by other F-35’s. BAM, BAM, BAM. No more SU’s. How many F-35s were there in the wolf pack? Who knows? It might have been six, it might have been 20. Within minutes the reserve Russian fighters on the airfield begin to explode as Small diameter bombs take out every target worth hitting.

    That’s basically the reality of what a Su-35 vs F-35 fight would look like. The SU-35’s would never know how many there are, they could never be sure of their targets; meanwhile, the F-35’s can pick how they want to engage and when they want to engage.

    Stealth vs. nonstealth is like a game of Marco-Polo in an Olympic sized swimming pool where the hunted (the Marcos) are allowed to keep their eyes open and throw tennis balls at the hunters (the Polos) to eliminate them. The hunters (Polos) meanwhile have to keep their eyes closed and don’t have any tennis balls to throw and must instead tag the Marcos in order to get a “kill”. Sure, they can occasionally detect the Marcos by screaming out and listening for the callback “Polo”.. but that fleeting hint doesn’t stop a tennis ball knocking them in the head and eliminating them. Even if they do catch a “Marco” it most likely was just a fake Marco. In other words, it doesn’t matter if the Polos are faster swimmers can hold their breath longer or are really good at listening, the game is entirely played on the Marcos’ home court because eyes and tennis balls are more important for this version of the game… just as stealth, sensors and missiles are more important in the fighter game.
