Shhh … Labour is setting up a £500 million taxpayer-funded “Sovereign AI Unit” to invest in artificial intelligence companies. The reported choice to run it? Tony Blair’s daughter-in-law. Its almost funny. Only almost💣

Field execution and mass detention Date: 25 December 2026 Israeli occupation forces turning a Al Yarmouk Stadium in the Gaza City into a mass execution theatre and detention camp. Hundreds of civilians, including women, elderlies and BABIES.

The OPCW has admitted concealing the assessment of German military toxicologists who ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of dozens of deaths in the supposed Douma chemical attack of April 2018 @aaronjmate on the Douma deception's continued unraveling thegrayzone.com/2026/05/07/opc…

A San Francisco woman went out drinking with a group of cop friends. She blacked out and woke up in a hotel room naked and drugged with four cops. The rape kit tested positive for all of their DNA but the D.A refuses to bring any charges. thebanner.com/community/crim…

It’s still too early to tell what has been the real outcome of the confrontation between Iran and US forces near the Strait of Hormuz, but two things are clear:  1) Iran’s current strategy, while nearly optimal, is unstable, just like its strategy of nuclear ambiguity was, which led to the current conflict.  2) Just like the run-up to the war, the optimality of position is incentivizing Iran to not respond forcefully enough to the US military coercion to open the Strait.  First, let’s recount why Iran’s current strategy is nearly optimal: Iran's current plan seems to be: avoid challenging the ceasefire, engage in negotiations to buy time for oil shortages to bite, skirt the blockade without breaking it, and use the blockade as justification for keeping the Strait closed to the US and its allies. This strategy is nearly optimal because it avoids death and destruction, it buys time for the physical shortages of oil to kick in to force the US hand while keeping Iran’s economy going. It’s not perfectly optimal because as I explained in my previous posts, it’s leaving the narrative in paper markets in Trump’s hands, which gives him room to maneuver (see tweets 1, 2, and 3 below). But it’s not a stable position to be in, just like the nuclear threshold state wasn’t.  In the nuclear matter, Iran’s position seemed optimal: not a nuclear state, but close enough to become one if need be. But the position wasn’t stable. Iran created enough incentive and excuse for its adversaries to attack it, but it didn’t create enough deterrence to prevent those attacks. In the Strait of Hormuz matter, Iran’s position is nearly optimal, but Iran is making a fundamental mistake. It assumes the US will accept defeat and either accept Iran’s terms or simply be forced to leave the war because of the economic pressure.  Iran went into the Islamabad negotiations with the mentality that it has won the war and Trump had accepted its terms as basis for negotiations.  But there’s a difference between a) an adversary being militarily defeated, b) the adversary internally accepting that defeat, and c) the adversary being openly willing to acknowledge the defeat. Military gains are converted into political wins only after step c. Until the defeated side is willing to acknowledge defeat, either through written instruments or leaving the field, it will keep searching for ways to reverse the battlefield outcome. Steps b and c have not happened for Trump. They also have not happened, and will not happen for a long time, for most of the US foreign policy establishment.  Accepting defeat and publicly acknowledging it is not just a matter of national reckoning. It’s a matter of the status of the US in the world, and its relationships with its orbital states.  This means that unless Iran creates an unambiguous deterrence, the US will keep trying to force open the Strait.  Consider the sequence of events: blockade in the gulf of Oman => US destroyers forcing their way into the Persian Gulf => US destroyers forcing their way out and launching Tomahawk missiles against Iran’s coastline. Compare this to an earlier sequence of events: Soleimani assassination => bombing of the Iranian consulate => attacks on Iranian territory => 12-day war => current war. In each case, failure to deter unambiguously at the early stage has led to further escalation.  Compare this with Ansarullah in Yemen whose demonstrated resolve and capabilities established a clear deterrent against the US. (Western establishment analysts working from US-aligned premises have recently reached the same diagnosis about the lead-up to this war: Iran's failure was insufficient deterrence. See, e.g., Grajewski & Panda in Foreign Affairs and Eveleth in Foreign Policy.) This is why, if you look at the US MOU draft proposal, it seeks to remove Iran’s main deterrent — the HEU and enrichment, because when the deterrent is gone, coming back will be easier.

Could a single Hezbollah fiber-optic FPV strike could have a greater impact than an entire wave of missiles? Every resistance operation has two key components: its military aspect, and its propaganda aspect. Analysis by VPol journalist @CallaWalsh: ￭ In the case of a missile strike, the Israeli occupation imposes a tight censorship regime, and the impact is by and large only seen or heard by the settlers in its immediate surrounding. But the video of an FPV strike against the IOF in southern Lebanon or northern occupied Palestine, however, is broadcast and viewed by millions. ￭ Each video of a successful strike shows to the Israelis that, despite what the occupation regime promised, a three-year ongoing war of aggression did not reach the “decisive victory” or “elimination of threats” promised, especially to the northern settlements. ￭ As Israeli censorship and lies about casualty counts continue, the resistance channels become more reliable news sources for Israelis than their own government to see if their IOF family or friends were struck in the latest video.

Update: the 12 year old girl I mentioned in this story who was hunted down by an Israeli drone has died from her injuries.

Let me state more clearly what I mean: at the level of the action, we lost 21 ships—with one ship intercepted but recovered and sailing with us—while Israel detained and then released two of our comrades. without legal consequences and incurring widespread global outrage at the Israeli kidnapping and brutality. Meanwhile, the remaining fleet is converging on Marmaris, Turkey, and the number of ships will still outnumber the amount we had last time with around 60 ships–possibly more to join. Pretty amazing, given how arduous this mission has been.

Didn’t notice this at first but not only is this a 300 follower account they snapped this within 53 seconds of posting??

George Lucas was asked why Yoda speaks backwards "Because if you speak regular English... people don’t listen that much. But if he had an accent, or it’s really hard to understand what he’s saying, they focus on what he’s saying" "He was basically the philosopher of the movie. I had to figure out a way to get people to actually listen... especially 12-year-olds"

Hunted While Fleeing An Israeli drone hunted down a father & his 12-year-old daughter as they tried to flee on a motorcycle in Nabatieh. On the road near Al-Sabah Secondary School, they survived the first missile strike. The father then tried to move his daughter away from danger & distance himself from the motorcycle. A second missile struck & killed him in front of her. The little girl ran for her life, managing to get dozens of metres away. The drone followed & struck again. She was taken to hospital in critical condition. She has now died of her injuries. A father trying to save his daughter until his final moments. A child pursued even as she fled. There are no words left for this. The image used is an AI-generated reconstruction based on the reported sequence of events.

You never heard of these monsters because the media is not neutral

The Strait of Hormuz is truly closed now. Never before have there been this many days with zero tanker crossings. See the chart. For every $1 spent on physical oil/refined products, $83 sits in financial oil derivatives. The oil market is pricing this completely wrong.

Unfortunately, the child just died of wounds. Three missiles to kill a young girl. The hospital in Nabatieh told me her injuries were “very serious”, including severe head trauma and wounds across her body. The father and daughter had been collecting supplies near Al Sabah Al Jadida Secondary School, nowhere near the occupied Yellow Line, when they were targeted at around 1030 am
