Slow Guy still celebrating…


Speaking of celebrating…

HUH, WUT?

NOW – Trump: “We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba.”

Great hearing Trump give Brandon Gill a shout out.

islamies need to be sent packing. (Slow Guy speak)

BOOM! President Trump gives MASSIVE SHOUTOUT to Texas Rep. Brandon Gill, who has been pushing HARD against the Islamification and 3rd world degradation of America “You’ve been fantastic! Thank you, Brandon!” “I endorsed him!”

Relax and consider…

It’s Saturday

Assuming the scroll wheel has not been engaged.

Kitchen or small home fire?  What the hell to do. 

Nah, NOT going there. Fire extinguisher handy, 911, secure fire source…Yada…

The victim(s) could be anyone, anywhere…  Typically, simple theft.  Though could be much worse.

Middle of the night.  Hell, middle of the day. 

  1. Knock on the door.  Doorbell rings. 
  2. Open the door or not?
  3. Porch camera, checked?
  4. Surveillance cameras checked?
  5. Personal protection available?

As for Slow Guy.  Rarely open the door.  Unless I am expecting delivery, or friend.  In every case, BEFORE, opening the door, I will always look out a window.  Surveillance camera, IF I have one. (Presently don’t)

Personal protection always available, as no kids are in the house. 

  • When Grands were in the house, personal protection in small safe(s), readily available.

With  84 yo  Guthrie in mind.

Now think what if it is you, in your home.  Plan To Survive.

Accelerating Into A Future We Do Not Understand…

Robots are already here, now accelerating. Where do we end up?

I do hope that we avoid the SkyNet scenario, but it is not at this time clear that we can or will.

A brief overview of the world we are already in with A.I. and humanoid Robots:

AI ROBOTS Are Becoming TOO REAL! – Shocking AI & Robotics 2025 Updates

1:45:51

4 months ago, so already out of date… A LOT of stuff of importance in the video. Where we end up and when? Happening now.

Moving up to 1 month ago, we get more advanced reasoning, no need for human coders, and even better robots, along with a first ship to factory work / production:

AI Shocks Again: Synthetic-Skin Robot, Microsoft KOSMOS, GPT 5.1, Gemini 3, Human-Level Unitree…

1:12:08

Clearly the field is in an exponential speed of change mode and I’m way behind…

Then again, maybe nobody needs to catch up anymore, as an A.I. has written an A.I. all the way from GPU low level code to top level Python interface code… and iterated it, testing and improving. Oh, and it is now open source.


AI Just Built Its Own Deep Learning Engine… And It Actually Works

11:27

And catching up to about now, China shipping 20,000 production worker humanoid robots this year to factories, while on stage they can use Nunchucks without hitting themselves (something hard for people to do…)

So exactly what work can a new high school graduate look forward to doing? Or even a college graduate? (Forget the Grievance Studies folks, they are already useless, I’m talking about junior coder or programmer Electrical Engineer…)

Happening NOW. So get ready for the world to change.

Back in “The Year of Four Emperors Candidates“, he was briefly a favorite of mine for POTUS. [ Scott Walker, [someone who was viable for about 26 hours whose name I forget], Ted Cruz, Donald Trump ]

Whatever happened to Scott Walker, anyway? Did his daughter’s boyfriend get incinerated in a suspicious car fire or something?

cthulhu

Not until we get blowout wins in Congress. I’m really tired of 1, 2, or 3 vote “majorities” when we have RINO traitors embedded in them. If we had a 60-40 Senate, appoint any Senator anywhere, no problemo. Same with the House — if we had a 40 Representative lead, we could spare a couple for other posts. I’m not enthused about giving away a legislative majority for a SCOTUS seat when there are many solid jurists out there.

TradeBait2

^^^^ This is the way.

We need independent and moderate Dems to help make it happen while cleaning the roles and deporting. Help them break free of the programming. That is how many red states has taken supermajority control that can even override vetoes of govs.

It’s been an exciting but sobering week for me. I just spent 6 days in the hospital because I couldn’t breathe. But I ‘m out now but the bad news [depending on point of view] is that I’m doing short time on this side of the lawn. I’m in the last stages of COPD. Don’t know how long I’ve got but I have a lot of work to do helping this attorney I’ve been trying to keep afloat in the lawfare attacks she’s been under.

So my contributions [such as they are] may be sparse from this point on out. If they take her Bar card, I have managed to get them to violate her constitutional rights so she will have a valid lawsuit despite the Eleventh Amendment.

Rules for Radicals works both ways.

I am definitely grateful for the good things you contribute here! You have clarified a number of legal issues. I would be willing to pursue ways to help you get what you need if you were agreeable to it.

I can’t help in a big way but if you decide to try any of the herbal, dmso or OTC supplements I’d be honored to have some sent to you. Some of the supplements for other things that our friends in here have suggested through the years has been helpful but not always easy on the budget.

At the beginning of COVIDIOCY, there were articles about how COVID affected the lungs and their ability to transport oxygen, etc. Two meds that were mentioned in that context were (IIRC) Nattokinase and “Vitamin I”, along with Hydroxychloroquinone… Gingko has also been mentioned…

I am very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I’m glad you are home now.

I did some quick research about coverage for the lung volume reduction surgery. I’m not certain which federal coverage you have (I was thinking that it was VA; but my memory for such details is not great), but whichever it is, VA or other government retirement, my research suggested that it would be covered.

I hope you will explore your treatment options.

I also hope we will hear from you around here as you are able. I’ll miss your wit.

The scoop on Anthropic, from Pete Hegseth:

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.

Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.

Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission – a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.

The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.

Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.

As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.

Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.

In conjunction with the President’s directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic’s technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.

America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

They stepped in it big time when they hit the southern gulf coast states. That’s the Saudi led Gulf Cooperation Council military region. They will be all over Iran with operatives like flies on shiz now. They cleaned up Iraq for us as an example.

Reza Pahlavi
@PahlaviReza
My dear compatriots,

Decisive moments lie before us.

The assistance that the President of the United States had promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention, and its target is the Islamic Republic, its apparatus of repression, and its machinery of killing—not the country and great nation of Iran.

However, despite the arrival of this assistance, the final victory will still be achieved by us. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish this task in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is approaching.

Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country’s military, law enforcement, and security forces is clear:

You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian nation, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not to defend a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with Khamenei’s ship and his crumbling regime.

And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this:

The honorable people of Iran, despite the brutal repression and killings carried out by this regime, stood bravely for nearly two months. I now ask you to exercise the utmost possible caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots. The people of Iran are your natural allies and the allies of the free world, and they will not forget your assistance during the most difficult period of Iran’s contemporary history.

And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran:

In these sensitive hours and days, more than ever we must remain focused on our ultimate goal: reclaiming Iran.

I ask you, for now, to remain in your homes and remain calm and safe. Stay alert and ready to return to the streets for the final action at the appropriate time, which I will communicate to you.

Follow my messages through social media and satellite media. If disruptions occur in the internet and satellite broadcasts, I will remain in contact with you via radio.

We are very close to final victory. I hope to be with you as soon as possible so that together we may reclaim Iran and rebuild it.

Long live Iran.
Reza Pahlavi

We did a pony ride for an escapee. He invited Hubby into his home and asked if he could ID the portrait he had on the wall. It was Reza Pahlavi Sr who Hubby IDed correctly, much to the surprise of our customer.

This morning, I hope that the Iranian woman I saw in a video a couple of months ago is alive and watching.

She was very old, probably in her seventies at least. She was on the street protesting. Screaming, “kill me, go ahead! I’ve been dead for almost fifty years!”

She stuck with me. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for women, born into a free country, to suddenly be enslaved by islam and sharia. Horrifying.

The Iranians are celebrating and unlike Israelies who need to shelter because the Islamic regime will target civilians, they are in the streets celebrating:

Women dancing in the street of Iran:

School girls celebrating:

Another school where the kids are celebrating thanking President Trump:

Women are screaming for joy from the roof of the building overseeing the Ajatollah Headquarters, which has been obliterated

Great work, KK!

Chicago – A few concerts, the first in 1972. Always liked their music. Former sax musician as a youngster, so much love for their style.

AI – above my pay grade. However, as I listen and observe, Americans work lives will change, but in many ways life will be easier. We all need to work at something. But we may have more leisure time than currently, which can be used for the common good or bad. I personally believe the intent is for every citizen to receive income sufficient to live reasonably well. The downside to that is obvious. People are going to have to let go of past institutions and behaviors to adapt. Governmental operations will be adapted and both federal and state workforces will decline in numbers significantly. They will shift to the public sector. Paradigms will shift over time as people learn and accept.

Much remains to be seen on AI.

Yes. Absolutely. It is coordinated. Bin Salman is PDT’s buddy.

That staying out of it by the GCC BS was for the benefit of the Islamists. They baited Iran into it and they fell for it. We exited the base in Bahrain well in advance.

Our troops will not touch ground there during this at all. Israel and GCC will handle the ground.

Enable the Iranian citizens to take their country back and remove the Islamists from all of government.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Saturday, February 28, 2026

“And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”

Isaiah 32:2 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR ISAIAH 32:2

Times of peace and happiness. (1-8) An interval of trouble, yet comfort and blessings in the end. (9-20)

1-8 Christ our righteous King, and his true disciples, are evidently here intended. The consolations and graces of his Spirit are as rivers of water in this dry land; and as the overhanging rock affords refreshing shade and shelter to the weary traveller in the desert, so his power, truth, and love, yield the believer the only real protection and refreshment in the weary land through which he journeys to heaven. Christ bore the storm himself, to keep it off from us. To him let the trembling sinner flee for refuge; for he alone can protect and refresh us in every trial. See what pains sinners take in sin; they labour at it, their hearts are intent upon it, and with art they work iniquity; but this is our comfort, that they can do no more mischief than God permits. Let us seek to have our hearts more freed from selfishness. The liberal soul devises liberal things concerning God, and desires that He will grant wisdom and prudence, the comforts of his presence, the influence of his Spirit, and in due time the enjoyment of his glory.

9-20 When there was so much provocation given to the holy God, bad times might be expected. Alas! how many careless ones there are, who support self-indulgence by shameful niggardliness! We deserve to be deprived of the supports of life, when we make them the food of lusts. Let such tremble and be troubled. Blessed times shall be brought in by the pouring out of the Spirit from on high; then, and not till then, there will be good times. The present state of the Jews shall continue until a more abundant pouring out of the Spirit from on high. Peace and quietness shall be found in the way and work of righteousness. True satisfaction is to be had only in true religion. And real holiness is real happiness now, and shall be perfect happiness, that is, perfect holiness for ever. The good seed of the word shall be sown in all places, and be watered by Divine grace; and laborious, patient labourers shall be sent forth into God’s husbandry.

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Wherein and where out – let the demon flee;Far away – to the dry place – let it be;Confined in the spaces – to do no harm;To cause no distress – disruption – alarm!
Wash me – and cleanse me – pure white as snow;Be near me – cheer me – wherever I go;Lift my distress – give me some rest – I pray;Be with me, Jesus – and love me Your Way!

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! The second Iranian slipper has finally dropped, the Middle East is in flames, and your social media feed is already a spectacular dumpster fire of takes so hot they could knock out a Patriot missile battery. Anyway, we have much work to do, because the hot takes will be off the charts, we have astonishing dots to connect, and your brain needs nutritious intellectual calories to fight off all the psyops and propaganda (from about fifteen different sides).
Today’s post contains everything you need to put the war into context, which means you can be sure corporate media won’t tell you any of it. Your Weekend Edition roundup is a special edition: the War for Peace in Iran. Pass the falafels.

Gail Combs

WOW! is this telling!

So far, apart from North Korea, the only other strong opponent of the strikes was Great Britain, which reportedly refused to allow American planes to take off from bases in the UK for the Iranian missions.

If you read the Prussiagate files, NZ is where the elite hide their money IIRC. I also wrote about how NZ is the safest place if there is a nuclear war.

Using New Zealand as a Tax Haven: How is it Done? :: SSRN

The New Zealand tax system is so structured as to allow the country to be used as a tax haven. Specifically, it allows non-residents to use trusts established in New Zealand to avoid the tax they would otherwise have to pay in their home country.

For Massie & Rand from Jeff Childers.

…..our libertarian-leaning friends, who are probably freaking out.

But here’s the thing: this particular ship sailed decades ago. Obama bombed Libya for months without so much as a courtesy call to Congress, and nobody got impeached. Biden unilaterally struck Syria and Iraq. The War Powers Resolution gives the president 60 days before requiring congressional authorization, and 48 hours before notice to Congress. Even at that, every single president since its passage has treated it more like a loose guideline than a legal requirement.

The president’s hands CAN NOT BE TIED!!! He must be able to react to problems on the world stage instantly with out having to wake up Congress, convene a session, going thru debates and finally getting a resolution passed…. Several days or weeks later.

So far, it appears that Virginia is still a Shall Issue state regarding concealed firearms. But the new DemCommunist Virginia legislature has introduced bills to change many still-in-force options regarding firearms ownership in the Commonwealth, which bills are being moved along through the legislature like a freight train running late.

Yours Truly will again say that, based on her many years of living in Virginia, the decades-long practice of “Republicans” at EVERY level there doing the “We get can along with the Democrats”, “Let’s all work together” shtick, has come back on them like a poisoned boomerang.

We cannot always prevent an attack. No question about it. It says he got off the bus with her in various news reports. Know who is around you, who looks suspicious when you ride a bus, subway, whatever. One look at the photo of that guy was all one would need. Have a hand on your weapon and eyes on the potential offender(s).Move toward the exit, if he moves as well. Stop and isolate yourself.

An unarmed woman without a travel mate is a major target. A perp will think you have a weapon if you have a concealed hand in your purse or pocket.

Front door always locked but I usually didn’t lock the other door until I went to bed because I go out on the porch a lot at night..making sure the cat in in, taking a smoke, reading on here, fooling around, etc. Also made me make sure the 357 is handy and loaded.

Filly posted this …
EXCERPT: “…..Analysis:
Government buildings in Tehran bombed.

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) struck a meeting of Iran’s senior political and security leadership in Tehran. It was the room where Iran’s government was gathered – and eliminated.

The IDF provided new details on its simultaneous airstrikes this morning targeting senior Iranian political and military officials at several locations in Tehran.

The IDF developed the plan over months, and it included a major intelligence effort led by the Intelligence Directorate to “identify an operational opportunity at the moment when senior regime officials would convene.”

The IDF says a decision was made to carry out the strike in the morning, rather than at night, despite Iranian preparedness. The IDF says it succeeded in “achieving tactical surprise for the second time,” referring to its opening strikes during June 2025’s 12-day war.

Intelligence officers spend thousands of hours of work putting together targets for the operation, with the IDF saying that it has “increased the number of targets by hundreds of percent, so that Israel is prepared to strike in Iran as long as required.”

The target research was conducted “in parallel with precise location tracking of Iranian commanders and senior leadership.”

According to the IDF, a “significant factor“ in the United States’ decision to join Israel in the operation against Iran is confidence in the IDF’s “intelligence and operational capabilities,” along with achievements in June’s war.

Israeli officials (via Times of Israel, N12, Axios) assess these deaths occurred in today’s joint US-Israel strikes: Pakpour (IRGC head), Shamkhani (Khamenei’s advisor; spelling variant), Nasirzadeh (Defense Minister), and military intel chief (likely Asaadi).

Iran attacked numerous countries in retaliation. The IRGC is not the same as the Iranian Military, called the Artesh. There is an intense rivalry between the two. The IRGC was set up to “guard” the Islamic clerics and ensure their revolution was to endure. It was set up alongside the secular Iranian military called the Artesh.

Given this divide, it is important to question whether the retaliatory attacks were carried out by the Iranian military in an attempt to bring in other nations to ensure the overthrow the Islamic Regime. The countries attacked as of today:

  Israel — Northern Israel (building hit); additional barrages toward Tel Aviv/Jerusalem areas with interceptions.
  United Arab Emirates — Abu Dhabi (Al Dhafra Air Base area; one civilian killed by debris) and Dubai vicinity.
  Bahrain — Manama (US Navy 5th Fleet headquarters).
  Qatar — Doha area (Al Udeid Air Base).
  Kuwait — Kuwait City area (Ali Al Salem Air Base).
  Jordan — Amman area (US assets; intercepted).
  Syria — Suwayda (Sweida; residential building hit, four civilians killed).
  Saudi Arabia — Riyadh area (reported targeting).
  Oman and Iraq were not targeted in confirmed strikes.

If this was an intended attack against neighboring countries, then this was a massive miscalculation.

One month ago Saudi Arabia was Iran’s diplomatic shield in the Gulf. The kingdom that brokered the 2023 rapprochement with Tehran. The country that told Washington it would not participate. The monarchy that built its entire post-Vision 2030 foreign policy on balancing between Washington and Tehran without choosing. Iran forced the choice this morning by firing missiles at Riyadh.

The Saudi capital was attacked. The kingdom that spent three years rebuilding ties with Tehran just had Iranian ballistic missiles in its airspace. The country that told America it would stay neutral just watched its sovereignty violated by the same regime it was trying to protect from American strikes.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was quick to respond:

The Kingdom “condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the treacherous Iranian aggression.” It calls the missile strikes a “flagrant violation of the sovereignty” of the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan. It pledges “full solidarity” with every attacked nation. And then the line that changes everything: Saudi Arabia is “placing all its capabilities to support them in all measures they take.”

All its capabilities. All measures.

That is not diplomatic language. That is a blank check written in the middle of a war. Whatever the UAE decides to do, Saudi Arabia just said it will support.

Whatever Bahrain’s response, Saudi will back it. Whatever Jordan, Qatar, or Kuwait determines is necessary, Riyadh just pledged everything it has.”

FWIW:

Ghost mentioned this from Trump’s first Admin.

Trump does not trust the State department. In the MBS — Kushner dynamic where they were texting each other,they got the phone numbers via the emirates via Tom Barrick. They communicated on WhatsApp. When the State dept found out they flipped out. “You can not communicate expect thru official channels.” Kushner kept doing it. After that you had the Pegasus Software created by Israeli company NSO. It is now being sued by WhatsAP because they were caught hacking into maybe 1500 or so prvivate chats.

So I went to check if this was true.

May 7, 2025 Global: Ruling against NSO Group in Whatsapp case a “momentous win in fight against spyware abuse”

WhatsApp and its parent company Meta sued NSO Group for using WhatsApp’s servers to target more than 1,400 users’ devices with Pegasus spyware.

“This is a momentous win in the fight against spyware abuse. NSO Group, which develops the notorious and highly invasive Pegasus spyware, has been implicated in severe human rights violations against civil society, including journalists and activists, globally. 

“For years, Amnesty International and civil society partners have documented how spyware companies, like NSO Group, have enabled human rights abuses on a massive scale. The surveillance industry has failed to act. We trust that this victory will deter the spyware industry….

Ghost suggested this was targeted towards the movers & shakers in this world.

So the bombing commenced in observation of the traditional Ramadan bomb-a-thon. A show of respect.

Ramadan is traditionally the time of year where islamics detonate themselves more than any other time of year. The most explosive period on the islamic calendar.

It’s Ramadan, the loveliest time of the year,
When the air is filled with the joyful sounds,
Of exploding cars and suicide bombers,
And the pungent aromas
of gunpowder and concrete dust,
The sweet scents of flesh and blood,
Baking on hot pavement and sand.
It’s Islam’s way of sharing and caring
And spreading Ramadan cheer!

Ramadan – Day 23 – 175 Attacks – 1229 Dead

Nice pair of Shetland ponies!

Some suggest The Wizard of Oz,’ was an allegory. If true it is a wonderful pick for today as POTUS takes out another brick in the City of London’s house.

Gold, Silver and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz

…Author Lyman Frank Baum wrote the original book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The book, published in 1900, was whimsical. But among other things, it poked fun and caricatured the gold and silver debate in the U.S. in the 1890s. More broadly, Wizard was an allegory about life and political populism in the U.S. in the 1890s.

Author Baum had a keen eye for the gold-silver debate because he knew something about the subject. Baum was wealthy, and heir to serious family money that came from the 19th-century oil fields of Pennsylvania. So he took the idea of debased currency and ran with it.

Just look at just the title, The Wonderful Wizard of… Oz, where “Oz” stands for “ounces.” I’ve heard that in the real story, the “Emerald City” of Oz was a city of gold. (It became emerald when MGM Studios made the famous Depression-era movie in 1939.) The yellow brick road was a metaphor for gold. Dorothy’s slippers were silver in the book, and changed to ruby in the movie.

The Tin Woodman stood for the urban workers of America, who were left out in the cold and rain by the forces of banker capitalism. The Scarecrow stood for the farmers — and recall that he had no brain, because many East Coast snobs thought farmers were dumb hicks, ripe for the picking. The Cowardly Lion was a dead ringer for William Jennings Bryan, who made good speeches, but could not stand up to the entrenched big guys.

The Wizard was all smoke and mirrors, reflecting the political classes as a bunch of charlatans who promised much and delivered little.

Bye bye Dubai…

IIRC, if Dubai is in the GCC, Saudi will go to their aid… have to watch out for all the smoke and mirrors out there, in the fog of war (to mix some metaphors)…..

If the other reports are true, this may be the death spasm. The rest of the weaponry has being taken out.

Axios: Exclusive: Rubio’s secret squeeze on Raul Castro’s Cuba

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been holding secret talks with the grandson and caretaker of Cuba’s aging de facto dictator, Raul Castro, as the U.S. puts unprecedented pressure on Havana’s regime, three sources tell Axios.

Rubio and his team see the 41-year-old grandson and his circle as representing younger, business-minded Cubans for whom revolutionary communism has failed…

The Final Piece: How Trump Is Breaking the British-Centered Iran System

Barbara Boyd argues that the U.S. and Israel’s major combat operations against Iran, announced by President Trump as Operation Epic Fury, are being miscast as “Iraq 2.0” and “regime change.”

She cites Trump’s message to Iranians to “take over your government” and JD Vance’s statement that there is “no chance” of a years-long Middle East war, framing the strikes as targeted to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions rather than an occupation.

Barbara shows Iran’s leadership has long served a British-centered financial system rooted in the 1908 BP oil concession, reinforced by events such as the 1953 Mossadegh coup and the 1979 revolution.

She says Trump’s recent policies—Abraham Accords, the “Board of Peace,” Gulf investment redirection, and designating the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorists—aim to dismantle that system, with Iran as the final obstacle amid escalating retaliatory strikes across the Gulf.

It is offical.
Khamenei dead confirmed by POTUS:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116150413051904167

Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

For anyone interested, I had my passport order appointment on the 11th of February. I didn’t order any expedited service or anything special.

I just received my passport in the mail.

It’ll be interesting how ‘they’ try and rehabilitate this monster and his regime. I’m sure TDS will be front and center

TheseTruths

Earlier, Brave and Free posted something by Laura Loomer in which she said, “Iran is a threat to our national security.”

In response, Kalbo said: “Iran has been a threat since 1979, when they tossed the Shah AND occupied our US Embassy.”

I point to these and other comments because there are some prominent podcasters who do not see things this way.

🔷 Matt Walsh:

As always I only support military action anywhere, in any context, if it directly serves the interests of American citizens. It’s troubling that the arguments we’re hearing for this war in Iran, including from Trump himself, seem to revolve primarily around “bringing freedom to the Iranian people.” As Americans, the freedom of Iranians is not our responsibility. If a single American life is lost in the service of that goal, it will be a travesty.

What nobody has even come close to sufficiently explaining is how this war will first and foremost directly benefit American citizens. That is a case that needed to have been made clearly and convincingly before this move, and it wasn’t. [and more]

So 1) he has now labeled this action a war, 2) he wanted Pres. Trump to reveal the plans ahead of time, which would have spoiled the entire mission, and 3) he doesn’t appear to see any threat from Iran to America, even if Iran has nuclear weapons.

Maybe this comes from Walsh’s anti-Israel stance, and he sees this as the U.S. merely aiding Israel (while saying it’s helping Iran) instead of Americans. It seems very shortsighted to me.

🔷Tucker Carlson – but this is actually Jonathan Karl (if he can be believed) reporting what he says Tucker told him. I can’t find independent verification of Tucker having said this:

Jonathan Karl says:

MAGA divide — Tucker Carlson tells me the attack on Iran is “absolutely disgusting and evil.

Karl talks about war. No war was declared by Congress, so this feeds into the Left’s outrage at “Pres. Trump getting us into a war.” Yet there are no boots on the ground. It’s clear that Karl has an agenda to blame Pres. Trump and make it seem that his support is eroding.

But I’m puzzled that conservatives don’t understand the threat of Iran having nuclear weapons, as well as the importance of peace in the Middle East. If Iran, especially, is not held in check, it takes Americans as hostages, occupies our embassies, attacks our military bases, etc.

“…Maybe this comes from Walsh’s anti-Israel stance, and he sees this as the U.S. merely aiding Israel (while saying it’s helping Iran) instead of Americans. It seems very shortsighted to me….”

FWIW, the crew over at Badlands, some of whom, although Christians are NOT seen as ‘pro-Israel’ (They are America First) very much understand what is happening.

I think you have several different strains so you can not neatly fit them into just a couple of buckets.

One interesting detail I hear yesterday was Nick Fuentz, in a serious moment, said he was ‘pro-Nazi’ just to yank stodgy chains.

Seems to me that our precision bombing may be good enough to target the UN building without hitting the rest of NYC.

Probably worth a try.
