No you don’t get it when Trump says “a whole civilization will die tonight” he is being hyperbolic and posturing unlike when Iran says “death to America” which is actually a very serious threat and should definitely serve as the basis for an invasion

My friend encountered a well known politician in a men’s restroom. This man, who I won’t name, was obviously staring at my friend’s penis around the dividers at the urinal. My friend said “hey aren’t you Lindsay Graham?” and this man who I won’t name, got scared and left.

Heads-up: Pre-market so-called “news” or “Truth” is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator. Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long. See something tomorrow? You know the drill.

Every Israeli should see this Netanyahu admits funding Hamas to weaken Palestinian unity and prevent the creation of a peaceful, independent Palestinian state

New angle for why Israel and America aren't winning this war: the Iranians simply "don't understand just how severe the damage to them is, and that's why they keep going."

We're talking to them. Well by "talking" I mean we tried to send them a message. Who are we talking to? Well we're not quite sure. We don't actually know who's running the country. But we know we're talking to the right person. They want to make deal, trust me. They even gave us something. No, sorry, I can't tell you what it was. But it was very valuable.

I continue to see influential accounts on here insist that this war is not primarily driven by Israeli foreign policy goals. It's possible to argue against this by sifting through media reports about who called who in the lead up to the war, and this is the tack most people take. But I'd like to build a case for Israeli strategic primacy through a different route. Place yourself in the shoes of an Israeli strategic planner, and assume that your principal strategic goal is Israeli hegemony over the Middle East. It should be uncontroversial to assert that eliminating Iran is a necessary (and perhaps the most important) component of this goal, so I'll skip over justifying that. How can this be accomplished? The IDF consists of 170k active duty personnel, and is suffering recruitment and retention issues. The IAF packs an outsized punch considering Israel's size, but it's ultimately a mid-tier air force with ~250 fighter airframes (most of which are F-16s and F-15s), no bombers, and only 11 refueling tankers. The Israeli Navy is a souped-up coastal defense force and can't be expected to operate in the Persian Gulf. Compare this to Iran, which has a manpower pool an order of magnitude larger, tens of thousands of drones and thousands of ballistic missiles, an asymmetric naval force focused on area denial, extensive proxy forces, and hugely favorable terrain for defensive operations. There's no chance of deploying an IDF ground component onto Iranian soil. It's an impossible prospect on a political level for any other state in the region to support this, and Iraq and Syria stand between Israel and Iran. Even if the Iranians didn't outnumber the IDF by a huge margin, sustaining some kind of invasion simply isn't on the table. The best you can do in terms of direct offensive operations is the following: • Launch a short campaign (remember you're limited by refueling aircraft) of aerial attacks using standoff munitions like ALBMs • Insert agents into Iran and have them launch drones from within the country • Try to arm and support proxy forces within Iran, or organize multiple small invasions • Orchestrate political violence, protests, terrorist attacks, etc The Israelis have attempted all of these, and so far none of them have seemed to fundamentally shift the strategic picture. This leaves one option on the table: get the United States to fight Iran for you. Considering this has been an Israeli goal for decades, and one administration after another has balked at the prospect, it's not an easy task. You'll draw vast sums of money out of a network of American Zionist billionaires to influence an election. You'll need the closest possible connections to US leadership, ideally agents within the executive's own family. You'll want to have your people involved in the US foreign policy apparatus, putting them in between the US government and Iran, so you can control negotiations. You'll need people within the Department of War, though having an agent as Secretary of War would draw too much attention. Once all of this is achieved, you'll stand a chance of orchestrating events to suck the US gradually into direct combat with Iran. You start off by provoking the Iranians into attacking you. Hit some embassies, assassinate IRGC personnel, launch airstrikes on Tehran. Keep pushing about the dangers of an Iranian nuclear weapon, make sure the US treats it like a red line. Pressure the administration into participating in a limited strike. Bide your time when necessary, then suddenly escalate again. When it seems like an off-ramp might be coming up, find a red line and cross it. Keep going until American hegemony itself is on the line. The sunk cost fallacy will ensure events unfold in your favor until American boots hit the ground. This is, of course, exactly what we're seeing. You can make a case that this war is really about China, or energy markets, or defense industry profits. There are sound arguments that some US interests overlap with Israeli goals. But it is *very* hard to make a case that this war isn't significantly the result of decades of Israeli soft power, influence operations, and espionage.

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

So they knew this and yet decided to use Pahlavi and the desperation of the Iranian people (which they admitted to have deliberately created through currency sabotage on top of sanctions) to manufacture protests, turn them into riots, get thousands of Iranians killed in the process, only to create consent and start this war - again knowing - that regime change would be impossible. As anybody with two functioning brain cells has been warning for years: this was all about destroying Iran as a sovereign nation and cripple it as much as possible- for Israel and for oil. Another textbook CIA/MOSSAD coup. Iranian monarchists are the dumbest and most malicious Diaspora in the world.

Already wrote that one. Here it is: The five-second epistemology of the counterattack. Any Gulf state that assists in a direct attack on Iran will have missiles sent to its palaces. Not its infrastructure. Its palaces. The buildings where the kings sleep. The throne itself. Iran said this on day one. The missile hits the palace. The monarchy is over. And somebody forgot the most basic difference between the Sunnis and the Shia. The one that matters to this war more than any theological dispute. The Gulf is ruled by monarchies. Hereditary kingdoms. Kings and emirs and crown princes who rule because their fathers ruled. Iran is a republic. Elections. Parliament. Supreme leaders chosen by an assembly. Kill a king and the kingdom ends. Kill a supreme leader and the republic convenes and selects the next one and the next one says not the right time for peace. That’s why nineteen days in, not one Gulf airforce has fired back. Bahrain has intercepted 125 missiles and 203 drones and returned zero. Saudi Arabia intercepts over the Eastern Province and doesn’t retaliate. The UAE absorbs strikes on Fujairah, Shah, Dubai International, Sheikh Zayed Road, and doesn’t scramble a single jet. Qatar takes four ballistic missiles and issues evacuation orders in Doha and doesn’t fire back. Every monarchy making the same calculation every day — absorb the damage, don’t cross the line. The monarchies live there. They understand this. The people tweeting about Gulf airforces counterattacking do not. Iran has all the leverage and knows exactly how to use it. A country that read Sun Tzu better than the Chinese and Clausewitz better than the Germans and the Quran better than the Arabs the empire is hiding behind. Iran has been under sanctions for forty-five years. Fought an eight-year war while the world armed Saddam with chemical weapons. Built the IRGC during deprivation. Built its missile program under sanctions. Built its drone fleet under maximum pressure. Every program the empire is trying to destroy was built during the deprivation the empire now threatens as consequence. The threat is the environment Iran already operates in. The threat is Tuesday. Even Dalio figured it out. The ability to withstand pain is more important than the ability to inflict pain. The kitchen said it first. Karbala is the pain thesis. Fourteen centuries of not submitting. The empire threatening Iran with the thing Iran has already survived while Iran threatens the Gulf monarchies with the one thing they cannot survive. The Gulf states recover more easily. The Gulf states whose 95 to 140 jackup rigs are idle. Whose offshore fields are on decline curves. Whose refineries are under evacuation order. Whose force majeures are declared. Whose Strait is closed. Whose LNG terminals are burning. Whose airports are taking drone debris. The recovery hasn’t started because the war hasn’t stopped and the war hasn’t stopped because the dispensationalist Disney World needs the prophecy and the prophecy requires the war. Day nineteen. The palaces are standing. The thrones are intact. Because Iran said what it would do and every monarchy believed it. The counterattack is a fantasy of someone who doesn’t understand why it hasn’t happened yet. The monarchies are monarchies. The republic is a republic. The Strait is closed.

POV: A guy with ChatGPT and Google AlphaFold just built a custom mRNA cancer vaccine to save his dog. this story is actually insane. a tech guy in australia adopted a rescue dog with aggressive cancer and only months to live. so he did something wild: > paid ~$3k to sequence the tumor dna > used chatgpt to analyze the mutations > used google’s alphafold to model the proteins > identified drug targets and designed a custom mRNA cancer vaccine he had zero background in biology. after months of paperwork, the vaccine was approved and injected. within weeks the tumor shrank dramatically and the dog started recovering. meanwhile pharma companies are running $1B trials to do the exact same thing. the future of personalized medicine with AI is going to be insane.

@AJA_Cortes @Blessed2BtheBES Literally not even free from the regime there’s nothing to celebrate

@Blessed2BtheBES No, rather they're happy the country they had to flee decades ago when Islamist's took over is finally free of the regime

All my Persian friends are happy as can be the Mullahs are getting taken out and the IRGC being bombed into dust

The majority of society puts precisely zero work into their mindset, zero work into their articulation, zero planning of systems that will lead them to better living, the majority of society are such slaves to their own hedonistic and short term desires, they themselves, through their choices oppress and castrate and tyrannize their own future through their short sightedness. Zero conscious thinking about their routines and how they can sharpen them, it is incredibly easy to utilise your intellect to locate positive pathways of being, but it is only consistency and applying these principles over a long time horizon that will enable you to genuinely benefit from your mental handy work, gotta give time a chance to work for you and be a professional in the delegation of your attention to increasethe chances you fulfil your potential. Your attention is your only weapon and asset

Given his staunch opposition to a US war on Iran, Charlie Kirk would have been an interesting figure to watch right about now. How unfortunate that a random Mormon trans advocate randomly shot him with a rifle.

Instead of asking laymen Shias - why don’t you ask Shias who are knowledgeable? This video below explains all the concerns you had. Btw asking pious people for help as intercessors is not a Shia-Sunni issue, Ashari Sunnis which is the majority of Sunnis also agree with us.

I don't get a working connection very often But here I am, from Iran, telling you, it's unimaginable what's going on every night in every city across the country While being under attack people gather in the streets to support Iranian holy defense Here in Esfahan, in different parts of the city there are large gatherings of angry grieving Iranians who shout "death to America" , "death to !srael" and "death to traitors" This Ramadan every night is Qadr night here in Iran.. People go to the streets after Iftar and stay there until midnight Reciting Quran, mourning Imam Hussain, flying flags, chanting epic chants, asking for revenge and grieving for our leader together Instead of preparing for Noruz (the new year) which is in the corner, shopping and spring cleaning, Iranians are preparing for Dohur, the reappearance of Imam Mahdi.. The atmosphere hasn't been this apocalyptic ever in Iran It seems people are more worried that the government to accept a ceasefire at this point rather than being bombed

Iran gets bombed. Iranian women online
