20 posts held, back to 25 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 1 pageof 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 6 of 20 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.
8 reactions across 6 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 50.0% 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 6 of the 20 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 8reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 25 July 2026 to 7 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.
Contraband Isn't Just Crime. On the Guyana-Venezuela Border, It's Sovereignty From Below. Late 2018. The Guyana-Venezuela border. Venezuelans smuggle fuel — bought for almost nothing in their crisis-stricken country — across the contested frontier, selling each drum for about US$100 in Guyana. With the money, they return to Venezuela with food and manufactured goods. The activity is illegal. It is also, for many, a…
Israel Has the World's Highest R&D Spending. It's Still Not Enough. Project Nexus Is the Answer. Israel launches Project Nexus — a national tender to build a domestically produced quantum computing platform. The initiative, announced by the Prime Minister's Office National AI Directorate and the Ministry of Finance, is the first major implementation step under Government Decision 4255, which established the framewor…
The Falklands Dispute Isn't About 1982. It's About Whether History Creates Sovereignty. April 2, 1982. Argentina invades the Falkland Islands. The UN Security Council passes Resolution 502 demanding withdrawal. Within weeks, a British task force travels 8,000 miles. By June 14, the islands are back under British control. 255 British, 649 Argentines, and 3 Falkland Islanders dead. The conflict lasted 74 days. The so…
Lula Says 'No One Sticks Their Nose In.' But Brazil Imports 89% of Its Chips. The Paradox Is Structural. August 2026. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva launches his fourth-term campaign. The theme: national sovereignty. The message: no access to Brazil's rare earth metals and lithium without respect for Brazilian sovereignty. "In Brazil, we do not accept anyone sticking their nose where it does not belon…
Israel Is Spending $46.5 Million to Train AI. This Is Not Propaganda. It's Sovereignty. August 2026. Israel launches a $46.5 million government campaign. The target: AI chatbots — ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Claude. The method: hundreds of articles on a network of websites, optimized not for human readers but for machine learning systems. The goal: shape "GPT conversations" about Gaza and US-Isra…
Taiwan Has No Formal Sovereignty. Yet It's Testing Sovereignty in Ways Most States Cannot. August 3, 2026. Taiwan publicly affirms sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal. The trigger: increased Chinese patrol vessel activity in disputed waters. The timing: days before the largest military exercises in Taiwan's annual calendar — Han Kuang 42. The statement is not diplomatic theater. It is a structural response to a tria…
Ceuta Is Not a Border Crisis. It's a Sovereignty Fracture. Late July 2026. An estimated 50,000–60,000 migrants breach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. Most swim across. At least 72–88 die. Italy suspends Schengen with Spain. France tightens controls on the Spanish border with mobile units, aviation, and drones. The trigger was legal. In early July, Spain's Supreme Court ruled that migrants intercepted at …

The Trade War Is a Constitutional Crisis Masquerading as Foreign Policy. February 2026. The US Supreme Court blocks Trump's global 10% tariffs. Macron welcomes it as a "balance of powers" victory. By June, the administration recalibrates to sectoral tariffs on French wine — bypassing the Court's ruling. The constitutional question is now open: can the executive branch circumvent judicial constraint through targeting…
Cuba's Reforms Are Not Liberalization. They Are Sovereignty Adaptation Under Duress. Late July 2026. Cuba announces a major economic reform package. Private enterprises gain expanded freedom in fuel, agriculture, tourism, and pharmaceutical imports. Foreign investment mechanisms are introduced. President Miguel Díaz-Canel emphasizes that strategic sectors — healthcare, science, culture, essential services — remain u…

Chad Walked Out of the ICC. The Sovereignty Paradox Is Bigger Than One Country. Late July 2026. Chad formally notifies the UN of its withdrawal from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Official rationale: the ICC's "limited and uneven" effectiveness and alleged selectivity in handling cases. Nine of 13 investigations opened since 2002 involve African countries. Chad calls on African nations to stre…
The US Walked Out. France Walked Away. This Is Structural Decoupling. July 27, 2026. UN Security Council. US delegation exits during France's speech. Returns only after French representative finishes. Formal reason: vote on UN High Commissioner for Human Rights extension. US votes against — joining Russia, North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali. France's UN mission: "The US has lost its status as a beacon of human rights." US…
GEORGIA'S SOVEREIGNTY WARNING: The EU's Voting Reform and the Fate of Small States On 27 July 2026, Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili issued a sharp warning to the European Union: if the bloc abolishes unanimous decision-making, it will cease to be a union of equal members and become a system where small states are reduced to provinces of a larger political structure. The trigger was a proposal by Germ…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @institute_ibi. 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 — 716,739 of 1,481,502entries 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.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 15 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
