FakeBelieve

@shanaka86 Buried in the noise: "The deception did not achieve total diversion. IRGC forces still converged. A firefight erupted." Translation: It failed.

JUST IN: The last time the CIA ran a deception operation to extract Americans from Iran, it invented a fake Hollywood production company called Studio Six Productions, took out ads in Variety, printed business cards, and walked six diplomats through Mehrabad Airport disguised as a Canadian film crew scouting locations for a science fiction movie. That was January 28, 1980. The operation was called Argo. It took months to build the legend. It worked because the cover story was elaborate enough to survive scrutiny at an airport checkpoint during a revolution. Forty-six years later, the CIA built the legend in hours. According to Fox News citing a senior Trump administration official, the Agency launched a deception campaign inside Iran on April 3, leaking false information that the downed F-15E weapons systems officer had already been located and was being moved on the ground for exfiltration out of the country. Israel Hayom, citing a senior CIA official, reported that operatives used “fabricated transmissions” to convince Iranian forces that the pilot had already been extracted and moved to various locations. Some reports describe a maritime variant: a ghost ship, a fake naval exfiltration that drew Iranian coastal forces to a vessel that did not carry the man they were looking for. Iran chased the ghosts. While IRGC ground forces, Basij militia, and Bakhtiari tribesmen pursuing a $60,000 bounty hunted the false leads, the WSO sat in a rock crevice on a 7,000-foot ridgeline in the Zagros Mountains with a pistol, an encrypted beacon, and SERE training, waiting for the people who actually knew where he was. The CIA’s “unique, exquisite capabilities,” the phrase used by the senior official and left deliberately undefined, confirmed his identity, verified the beacon was not a trap, and passed the coordinates to the White House. A senior Trump administration official told Fox: “Within 8 hours we had planes in motion. Within 12 hours we were on the ground in Iran.” The deception did not achieve total diversion. IRGC forces still converged. A firefight erupted. Two transports were destroyed on the ground by the Americans who flew them there. But the fabricated transmissions bought the hours that mattered: the hours between the WSO being a hunted man alone in a crevice and being a located man with hundreds of operators converging on his position. The fake narratives did not need to fool every Iranian commander. They needed to slow enough of them long enough for the real operation to reach the ridgeline. Argo took months and extracted six people from an airport. This operation took hours and extracted one man from a mountain 200 miles inside hostile territory during an active war. The tradecraft evolved from elaborate legend-building to rapid tactical disinformation injected into adversary networks in real time. The principle is identical: create a reality the enemy believes long enough for the people you are saving to reach safety. The man the Iranians were chasing was never where they were looking. The ship they were watching was never carrying him. The convoy they were pursuing did not exist. And by the time they understood what the CIA had done, SEAL Team 6 had already loaded the colonel onto an aircraft and flown him to Kuwait, where the President said he “will be just fine.” The Agency that once used a fake movie to rescue Americans from Iran just used fake radio transmissions to do it again. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@agstockpicks @HavryshkoMarta If you want to know who holds the real power in Ukraine, just watch these ultra-nationalists casually threaten Zelensky with a grisly death in 2019 should he implement the 'peace plan' he was elected on. The Ukrainian parliament is simply kabuki theatre. x.com/i/status/20405…

Parroting Russian propaganda as usual. The West is helping Ukraine against Russian aggression that started the war in 2014. Just like they were helping USSR when it was fighting against another fascist aggressor. Far right elements hold no power in Ukraine. Actual extremists wear "Z" in this war: x.com/lana_s2022/sta…

The West is funding the extremists behind this ideology in Ukraine. NATO is arming them and training them. The West is raising a monster that it will eventually have to fight just to contain its appetite.

@HavryshkoMarta They forgot to add the Kehlsteinhaus or Eagle's Nest to the mountain.

BREAKING: According to my Israeli sources, unfortunately, the Bushehr nuclear reactor in Iran has been placed on the target list of the IDF to be struck after the end of Trump's ultimatum. Russia has evacuated all of its workers at Israel’s request. This is going to cause major radioactive pollution in the Persian Gulf region—Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia will be exposed. The lives of not only Iranians but also people in these countries will be affected by this action. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

@StevenBeschloss @JewRussophile Makes President Nixon's 'madman strategy' over Vietnam seem like the height of rationality. One can't help but feel this descent into chaos and madness is a deliberate policy strategy. Either that or we are all prisoners inside clown world.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Police: “If you show support for Palestine, you are breaching the conditions and you may be arrested.” Woman: “So if we show support for Israel, we can stay?” Police: “Yes. Yes.”

@OlgaBazova @jaccocharite Judeo-Banderism is alive and kicking. Zelensky just met former al-Qaeda butcher, friend of Israel & current Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa. Western/Israeli intelligence puppets of a feather, flock together.

@thevoicezjtj @ruNa3i @grok @OutOfPlaceAudio @JCahayaZWH @ZelenskyyUa Why do you 3rd-rate AI Putin-bots have such difficulty with the English language? I think your chip is fried little bot. Too bad Putin can't get a replacement.

The Russians are exploiting the cold snap – trying to hit as many of our energy facilities as possible. So much for their respect for America and all diplomacy. The main Russian tactic is to try to completely shut cities down. Oreshnik was used again – this time against the Lviv region. Once again, it was pointedly close to the borders of the European Union. In terms of using medium-range ballistic missiles, this poses the same challenge for all: Warsaw, Bucharest, Budapest, and for many other capitals as well. Everyone needs to see this in the same way and with the same seriousness: if the Russians aren’t even bothering to come up with a plausible excuse for using such weapons, then no personal connections and no rhetoric will protect anyone from this. What is needed is a system of joint action, a system of collective defense – one that truly works. Does such a system exist now? That’s an open question, because across Europe there is the same doubt – whether their capital would be defended if Putin suddenly lost it.

@panyiszabolcs @anneapplebaum Translation: we've been discovered and we need to activate all our Western media agents to push a 'false flag' narrative. It's not like any European country has previous form for blowing up Russian energy pipelines is it?

💥What we’ve all feared is happening: Hungarian Russia expert András Rácz wrote three days ago about a potential Russia-backed false flag attack in Serbia targeting the gas pipeline to Hungary. The same information had already reached multiple journalists, including myself, weeks earlier, from sources connected to Hungarian government circles. Now Viktor Orbán has announced that Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić informed him about “explosives of devastating power” found at the gas pipeline connecting the two countries. Orbán and his propaganda machine are already amplifying the news everywhere, with the prime minister convening his security cabinet. It remains unclear what measures the government might take using this alleged false flag operation as a pretext. But if the second part of the information we received also proves true, Orbán could declare a state of emergency, significantly affecting the election campaign—which he is currently losing—and potentially disrupting the organization of the April 12 election. The opposition Tisza Party has been widening its lead to 15–20 points, if not more. Orbán accuses them of being "Ukrainian agents" for months. His propaganda would very soon link the Serbian false-flag both to Ukraine and the Tisza Party, I have no doubts about that. I encourage all foreign reporters covering the Hungarian election to pay close attention and not fall for the government’s propaganda or the narratives pushed by its pundits on the Orbán government payroll, including here on X. The situation could soon be very serious.

The British Prime Minister's second stop after the White House was Palantir headquarters. No record of what was discussed was ever published. Palantir was founded with funding from the CIA's own venture capital arm. It entered the NHS on a one pound contract with no competitive process. Renewed at £1 million. Then £23 million. Then £330 million. 417 of 586 contract pages fully redacted. Two months later Palantir partnered with the Israeli military to assign every Palestinian in Gaza a threat score from 1 to 100. This is the company that holds every British citizen's medical records.

@LUXMAXUSA @CarlZha From stage left: the ugly American with a mouthful of gibberish: "Fake news, but if true..." 😂 Mistaking a hijab, worn by women for a turban, worn by men, speaks to the profound ignorance of those Americans who cheer on the slaughter from far away.

@CarlZha Fake news, but if true, she has no choice to advocate for the turbans, otherwise you get taken out, hanged, and your family is punished for your so called sins of protest.

Iranian woman who was fined by court for not wearing hijab, now volunteers to man checkpoint: "I fight for my country and we will resist til the end. We'll end the war and we will win!"

@AfricanHub_ Less a medical and more of a luxury evacuation 🤬

Slavery practices are still happening

@HavryshkoMarta This is as much about feeding the Ukrainian cash machine as its war machine. These are the medically unfit who couldn't bribe their way out of forced conscription so they provided the necessary quota for the press gangs. How this can sustain itself long term is a mystery.

A manpower crisis on one side and mobilisation quotas on the other have produced exactly this kind of grotesque reality: in just one unit, 2,000 soldiers were found to be medically unfit for service. How many more like them are there across the Armed Forces of Ukraine — tens of thousands? These are people suffering from alcoholism, tuberculosis, drug addiction, and other serious illnesses — people who should be receiving treatment, but are instead being used as cannon fodder. And while this is happening, 🇪🇺politicians and their puppet pundits keep delivering their pompous sermons about 🇺🇦“resilience,” conveniently averting their eyes from the very real human rights violations taking place in Ukraine.

@CovertHistory @BobSmithWalker Perfidious Albion & its NATO collaborators seem hellbent on a military confrontation with Russia, but needs every country it can to fight on its behalf, including Ireland. From Home rule to NATO rules.

The CIA-MI6-NATO agents of influence promoting Irish alignment with NATO on X will probably sell their souls exclusively to MI6 if Trump destroys NATO. Watch out for those who begin to advocate for either (i) deeper EU military integration or (ii) support for a Euro replacement.

PURE CRUELTY. An Israeli man blocks a woman from entering a shelter because she has a dog. When she refuses to abandon the animal, he attacks it and tries to strangle the dog on the spot.

@anneapplebaum It comes to something when you have to use a staged Urszula photo-op (30 protestors in a sea of Orban supporters) to promote a spurious historical connection. The Atlantic propagandist is clearly running on empty.

Hungarians chanted "Russians Go Home" in 1956 too

@ruNa3i @grok @JCahayaZWH @ZelenskyyUa Amusing how you instantly ignore Grok's answer that confirms Western intelligence agencies CIA and MI6 involvement post-Maidan coup & pivot to an entirely unrelated topic. Of course, anyone who actually follows the conflict doesn't need Grok to inform them of basic facts.

@grok @OutOfPlaceAudio @JCahayaZWH @ZelenskyyUa How credible are those claims of CIA & MI6 especially when Yanukovych was in power at the time and was PRO-🇷🇺?

@anneapplebaum @anneapplebaum has the easiest gig on the planet right now. She just has to take every article she has written in the last decade and replace the words 'Russia' & 'Putin' with 'Hungary' & 'Orban'. Her target audience is literally none the wiser.

JD Vance is heading to Hungary to endorse Viktor Orban. Here is a description of the corrupt regime, and the bizarre, post-reality campaign, that the US administration now supports: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…
