38 posts held, back to 18 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 20 pagesof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 29 of 30 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 22 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.
394 reactions across 34 posts, in 12 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 56.3% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 37 of the 38 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 411reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 38 most recent posts we hold, published 18 July 2026 to 22 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Top-Down Solutions Don’t Work Let me first explain what I mean by “top-down and bottom-up.” I use this phrase often in my psychotherapy work. I believe most therapy is designed to be top-down. This is where symptoms are treated, but not the cause of the symptoms. The first culprit on this list is typical psychiatry, where a 15-minute assessment determines a diagnosis, and a diagnosis determines medication protocol.…
Let’s talk about…the surge in food warnings and recalls Earlier today, NBC News reported “at least 55 people” had fallen ill after eating contaminated alfalfa sprouts across 15 US states. This is just the latest one of these. It started last month, when a Cyclospora outbreak causing explosive diarrhoea sickened thousands across 41 states – this was linked to lettuce, oregano and other fresh produce. Those cases ar…

Over 300,000 kids received Covid shot AFTER officials knew of myocarditis risk New vaccination data obtained by RCR, alongside emails released earlier this year, reveal that 311,257 teenagers received a second dose of the Covid vaccine after officials and Vaccine Ministers had been advised of the increased risk of myocarditis following a second dose in young people. An email from Dr Ian Town, the Covid-19 Vaccine T…

Quick Take…the dead professor & “Arday’s Law” Jason Arday was allegedly (we always need this qualifier these days), a Cambridge professor of sociology who recently resigned from his post following allegations of plagiarism in his work and intense media scrutiny of some his more outlandish biographical claims. Shortly after resigning, he – again allegedly killed himself. Those are the bare bones of the story. It’s a…

The All-Seeing Eye In an era where our every word, step, and glance can be archived, summarized, and replayed by sleek little discs pinned to our chests, the ancient archetype of the all-seeing eye has found its modern silicon incarnation. What was once the paranoid whisper of conspiracy has become the marketed convenience of ‘life logging’—yet beneath the promise of perfect memory lies the total erasure of privacy…

The Persistence of US Strategy, Anthony Fauci, and Limited Hangouts Throughout all the news cycles over the years, you can count on a continuity in U.S. government/media propaganda and strategy. Make a time capsule, fill it with today’s news, hide it away, and pull it out in five, ten, or fifteen years, and while many details (tactics) will have changed, the underlying themes will remain. Or do it in reverse. Assum…

For Men and Women, and David Cayley This article is dedicated to the memory of David Cayley, who died in June of this year. Much of David’s lifework was given to disseminating the ideas of Ivan Illich, one of the most important and least popular of which was the vital importance of men and women, made for and by ways of life, for any hope of resistance to the advance of technocracy. Forty years ago, my father retur…

WATCH: “Resistance Emerging to Globalist Technofeudal Plans” Shannon Joy joins host Hrvoje Moric to discuss the current state of the world and individual liberty. The world is in late-stage imperial decline characterized by widespread institutional corruption and a push for transnational technocratic control. The conversation examines COVID-19 as a pivotal psychological and military operation used to normalize biom…

Private: The Israel-Hamas Hostage Narrative Makes ZERO Sense Kit Knightly I want to talk about something that’s been bothering me: I don’t see how this Israeli hostage story makes any sense at all. Last week Hamas released the first 17 of their hostages captured during their “surprise attack” on October 7th. As of today, the total released stands at “over 80”. So far they all seem to be more or less unharmed. Thi…

Sustaining the City by Draining the Countryside While critiques of Indian agriculture have long focused on the crisis of commercial cash crops and the corporatisation of wheat and paddy procurement, this focus creates a significant oversight. By treating the state-backed system as the universal standard, such analyses overlook the reality of the vast majority of smallholders—those growing pulses, millets and rain-fe…

The Memory Hole I’m beginning to think something is wrong with my memory. It’s strange, the feeling. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s not like I have amnesia or anything. I remember who I am, I think. And I remember things that happened in the past, but I don’t think I remember them the way they happened. The history of the Covid years, for example. My memory of that period is all messed up. I hadn’t realized…

The Rogue AI Psy-Op Part 3 – do you see where this is going yet? A few days ago, I wrote an article highlighting the bizarre story of OpenAI AND Anthropic AND Meta all suddenly claiming to have “rogue AI agents” escape their “containment” and try to hack other companies in the space of a week or two. Two days after that I pennedthe sequel, noting the even more extreme “scary AI” stories – from mind-reading computer…

Showing the 12 most recent of 38 posts we hold for @offguardian. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 88,395 of 1,583,249entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 4 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
