A Julius Caesar knife holder.

Hyperhauska.

O Farol do Jument foi construído em 1904, foi um pesadelo de engenharia que durou 7 anos. Erguido sobre o recife Ar-Gazeg, na Bretanha, os operários só trabalhavam na maré baixa, içando blocos de granito de barcos em meio a mares brutais. A obra foi financiada por Charles Potron, um sobrevivente de naufrágio que deixou 400 mil francos para que um farol fosse feito naquele ponto mortal. O desafio foi insano: cada pedra de granito era encaixada como um quebra-cabeça para suportar ondas de 30 metros de altura. A força do oceano era tão absurda que a estrutura original começou a rachar logo no início, exigindo reforços de aço perfurados a 30m de profundidade na rocha para o farol não tombar. Uma das construções mais épicas e perigosas da história.

A rumor is circulating on pro-Hezbollah forums that Israel tracked the IP addresses of Hezbollah officials during a Zoom meeting, geolocated 100 positions simultaneously, and struck all of them in ten minutes. The IDF has not confirmed the method. No mainstream outlet has verified it. The rumor originates from Tier-4 sources with zero corroboration from Israeli, American, or independent intelligence reporting. But the rumor is less important than what it reveals about the strike itself. One hundred command targets across three geographic zones, Beirut’s southern suburbs, the Beqaa Valley, and southern Lebanon, struck simultaneously in a ten-minute window. Intelligence headquarters. Missile infrastructure. Radwan Force assets. The Aerial Unit that operates Hezbollah’s drone fleet. The IDF confirmed every detail. What the IDF did not confirm is how it knew where every target was at the exact same moment. That simultaneity is the signature. Hitting 100 targets in sequence is air superiority. Hitting 100 targets in ten minutes is intelligence supremacy. It means real-time location data on the entire senior and mid-tier command structure, updated continuously, cross-referenced with physical infrastructure, and fed into a strike package that executes before anyone can move. Whether the method was Zoom IP tracking, cellular metadata, SIGINT intercepts, human intelligence, or some combination of all four, the capability demonstrated is the same: Israel has penetrated Hezbollah’s operational architecture to a depth that allows simultaneous decapitation across an entire theatre of war. The pager operation in September 2024 demonstrated that Israel could compromise Hezbollah’s supply chain to deliver explosive devices into the pockets of hundreds of operatives. If the Zoom rumor contains any truth, it represents the evolution from hardware compromise to software compromise, from physical infiltration of devices to digital infiltration of communications. The pagers required months of supply-chain engineering. An IP geolocation exploit requires only that the target connects to a network. Hezbollah’s response will be predictable: abandon all digital communications. Go dark. Return to couriers and face-to-face meetings. But that response creates its own vulnerability. Couriers can be followed. Face-to-face meetings require physical movement that satellites and drones track. The more Hezbollah retreats from digital infrastructure, the slower its command cycle becomes, and the slower the command cycle, the less capable the organisation is of coordinating the kind of distributed response that Mosaic Defence requires. This is the intelligence trap that decapitation campaigns create. Every adaptation the target makes to survive reduces its operational effectiveness. Go digital and risk geolocation. Go analogue and risk paralysis. The IDF does not need to confirm the Zoom rumor for it to achieve its strategic purpose. The rumor alone forces Hezbollah to assume its communications are compromised, which degrades command and control whether or not the compromise actually exists. The pagers changed the supply chain. If the IP tracking is real, it changes the meeting. If neither method was used and Israel has something else entirely, it changes the assumption that any form of communication is secure. In all three cases, the effect is identical: Hezbollah’s command structure operates under the permanent assumption of penetration. And an organisation that assumes it is penetrated behaves like an organisation that already is. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@veitera USA ei häipyne kokonaan. Ranskakin oli välillä ulkokehällä, mutta palasi sitten takaisin.

Suomen Nato-jäsenyys on edelleen toimiva ja kannattava. Vaikka USA häipyisi, niin Nato toimii edelleen juridisena, suunnittelullisena, toiminnallisena ja sotilaallisena kehikkona, jonka avulla puolustamme itseämme yhdessä liittolaistemme kanssa. Olemme vahvempia yhdessä.

JUST IN: The IRGC Navy just added a second lock to the gate. Hours after the ceasefire was supposed to reopen Hormuz, the IRGC issued an official directive requiring all commercial vessels to use two alternative corridors near Larak Island to avoid sea mines deployed during the war. Inbound traffic north of Larak. Outbound traffic south of Larak. All ships must coordinate with the IRGC Navy before entering. Until further notice. The mines are real. Iran laid them during the February to April campaign as a defensive measure against the US Fifth Fleet. They are in the standard shipping lanes. The alternative routes bypass the minefields but funnel every vessel through a narrow channel inside Iranian territorial waters, past the same Larak Island where the IRGC toll booth already operates and the patrol boats already escort ships one at a time after verifying clearance codes paid for in yuan or cryptocurrency. This is not a safety measure. It is infrastructure. The mines create the problem. The alternative routes create the solution. The solution requires coordination with the IRGC. The coordination requires toll payment. The toll requires yuan. Each layer reinforces the previous one until the Strait of Hormuz is no longer a waterway governed by international maritime law but a managed corridor operated by a theocratic military force collecting revenue in a currency that is not the dollar. The sequence now runs as follows. A vessel operator contacts IRGC-linked intermediaries. Submits IMO number, ownership chain, cargo manifest, crew list, and destination. The IRGC’s Hormozgan Provincial Command screens for sanctions alignment and assigns a friendliness tier. The toll is calculated at approximately one dollar per barrel for oil tankers, paid in yuan through CIPS or in stablecoins through the Qeshm Island crypto exchange window. If approved, the vessel receives a clearance code and route instructions for the Larak corridors. Upon approach, VHF radio hail, AIS verification, and a patrol boat escort through the minefield-free alternative channel. One ship at a time. Fifteen to twenty ships completed this process in the first 24 hours. The pre-war average was 138 per day. Four hundred vessels are reportedly waiting outside the strait. The Gulf states have declared the toll illegal and refuse to pay. Japan’s prime minister called the strait an international public good. Oman’s transport minister said international agreements prohibit fees. None of this has stopped the IRGC from operating the corridor, collecting the revenue, and turning back tankers that attempt passage without a code. Trump claimed a complete opening of the strait. The strait is not completely open. It is completely controlled. The difference between closed and controlled is that a closed strait generates no revenue and invites military intervention. A controlled strait generates reconstruction funding in yuan, establishes a precedent for non-dollar energy settlement, and operates under the legal fiction of a safety directive that blames wartime mines for the necessity of IRGC coordination. The mines will take months to clear. The alternative routes will become permanent. The toll will become normalised. And by the time Islamabad concludes, the infrastructure of a post-dollar energy chokepoint will have been stress-tested, revenue-generating, and operationally embedded for two weeks under the protection of a ceasefire that was supposed to dismantle it.

@JohannaKukka @pekkasauri Just noin, thanks.

Hurmaavaa suomen kielen päivää😍 Sanat on kuin menu - varsinainen herkku on merkityksissä. Kielellä voi nuolaista rivien välit. Sillä voi peittää tai paljastaa, riisua ja rakastaa. Se taipuu sillaksi sielusta toiseen. Kieli on tehty leikittäväksi. Kohdataan kielellä❤️

Ehkä siihen C-UAS kehittämiseen kannattaa panostaa nyt, eikä odotella 🇪🇺:n rahoituksella vuonna 2029 valmistuvia yksittäisiä kyvykkyyksiä.

Juuri näin. Valitettavasti.

Kerrassaan erinomainen uutinen. 208 modernia Panssarihaupitsia on euroopankin mittakaavassa merkittävä suorituskyky. Suomi jatkaa tiellään tykistön suurvaltana. #supritiskykyä 💪

Tämä Halosen haastattelu vuonna 2001 kiertää nyt. -Suomi ei tue Baltian Nato-jäsenyyksiä -Transatlanttista liittoa ei tarvita -Venäjän tulee olla yksi johtavista maista -Suomi tuntee Venäjän kaikista parhaiten Ihan järkyttävää skeidaa! #Halonen spiegel.de/politik/sensib…

Finland gjorde i början 50-talet obs på AK-47 o ville köpa. RUS sade att ni behöver ej. FIN underrättelsetjänstens agent köpte (med sprit) i Polen del för del två AK:n som togs t FIN m fraktfartyg. Den ena sågades i bitar för studier, den andra provsköts. På basen gjordes STG62

Tänä päivänä 1865 Yhdysvaltojen sisällissota päättyi. Unionin kenraali Grant kohteli antautuvaa Lee’tä suurella kunnioituksella. Hän ei vaatinut nöyryyttävää antautumista. Lee sai pitää miekkansa, hänen upseerinsa hevosensa, eikä sotilaita vangittu, vaan heidät päästettiin kotiin sanoin: “He eivät enää taistele meitä vastaan.” Antautumisehdot kirjasi ylös Grantin adjutantti, everstiluutnantti Parker, syntyperältään seneca-intiaani. Kun Lee huomasi Parkerin, hän totesi: “Olen iloinen nähdessäni täällä todellisen amerikkalaisen.” Parker vastasi: “Me olemme kaikki amerikkalaisia.”   Molemmat osapuolet pyrkivät säilyttämään arvokkuuden ja kunnioituksen vaikeassa tilanteessa, mikä osaltaan edisti kansakunnan eheytymistä sodan jälkeen. Hetki historiassa on jollain tavoin kohottava. Suurten konfliktien keskellä löytyy kohtaamisia, joissa on läsnä kunnioitus, myötätunto ja toivo🙏🏼

Miten Yhdysvallat päätyi hyökkäämään Iraniin? New York Timesin tietoihin perustuva juttu. Kiinnostavaa tietoa Trumpin lähipiirin mielipiteistä. Onneksi ainakin tulitauko on saatu aikaan. yle.fi/a/74-20219368

Moskovassa ja Pietarissa ei ehkä ole sotilasparaatia 9. toukokuuta.

Trump muistuttaa meitä jääpalasta nimeltä Grönlanti. Kuinka moniulotteisesta shakista on kyse?
