MP Bruce Fanjoy says that Pierre Poilievre would NOT be welcomed to the Liberal party if he decided to cross the floor because he “doesn’t have shared values”.. But they let in pro-life, anti-vax MP Marilyn Gladu? 🤨😂

BREAKING: Hezbollah was reportedly planning a coup in Beirut — and Israeli strikes preempted it. That was followed by, Lebanon’s government issuing an emergency order to immediately disarm all armed groups in Beirut and direct negotiations with Israel.

I'm not upset that Marilyn left the Conservative Party. What upsets me is the overt insult to all of our collective intelligences. Her talking to everyone like we're all blind, deaf and dumb as though the internet doesn't somehow exist. Your legacy Marilyn... Tragic! 🤡

1) Trump agrees to 2-week ceasefire with Iran & begins peace negotiations in Pakistan 2) Israeli press reports Netanyahu was left out in the cold for ceasefire agreement (x.com/jerusalem_post…) 3) Netanyahu ignores the wording of Pakistan’s ceasefire announcement & continues to bomb Lebanon 4) Iran says that ceasefire is on edge 5) Suddenly, First Lady Melania Trump gives surprise, random press conference denouncing any ties to Epstein & saying “Epstein didn’t work alone” & that US Congress should expose all his clients, leaving everyone (albeit sympathetic) scratching their heads because nobody was talking about Epstein 6) Daily Beast suddenly reports that it has a recording of Epstein boasting of his ties to President Trump & First Lady Melania 7) First Lady was clearly trying to get ahead of a story designed to use the Epstein scandal to undermine Trump during peace negotiations. By accelerating the story & threatening to go after everybody else in Congress, she appears to have succeeded in neutering the story 8 Netanyahu announces he will begin ceasefire negotiations directly with Lebanon (x.com/israelipm/stat…) 9) Iran agrees to resume peace negotiations and accepts US assurances (via Pakistan) on Lebanon (x.com/iraninsa/statu…) 10) Americans and Iranians fly to Islamabad for peace talks & no one gives a shit about the below story from the Daily Beast The End.

In 2004, the BBC warned the Maldives were "soon to be uninhabitable," claiming sea levels were rising 0.9 cm per year and that 80% of the islands could vanish within a century. More than two decades later though, reality says otherwise. The Maldives haven't sunk, they've exploded with growth: 12 new airports, expanded international terminals, record tourism of over 2 million visitors a year, and more than 170 resorts, with 7 added in 2024. Instead of disappearing under the waves, this so-called "paradise in peril" has shown no statistically significant sea level rise since the 1980s, according to satellite data. Here we have another 'climate catastrophe' headline completely undone by time.

Stanford CS graduating class of 2026 just got their final placement statistics Out of 312 graduates: 18 have full-time offers That's a 5.8% placement rate from the most prestigious CS program in the fucking world 2019 placement rate was 94%. 2022 was 78%. 2024 was 31%. Now this. The other 294 are fighting over 47 internships that require "3+ years production experience" Career services is telling them to "consider adjacent fields" while the department just took a $50M donation from a company that replaced 2,400 engineers with Claude One kid showed me his rejection tracker: 1,247 applications since September. 12 phone screens. Zero offers. His parents refinanced their house for his tuition The career fair had 8 companies and 300 desperate students in $180k of debt Meanwhile the CS department just announced they're expanding their PhD program because "industry demand for AI research has never been higher" The same week they sent acceptance letters to 89 new undergrads These kids thought they were learning to be engineers. Turns out they were training to be obsolete.

Europe has a huge trade surplus with USA and an enormous trade deficit with China. China is decimating EU standard of living. China is the reason why Putin can still invade Europe. And Europeans well they don't like the way Trump expresses himself. Europeans are suicidal idiots.

The U.S. under Donald Trump is seen as a bigger threat than China in six major EU countries, according to a new POLITICO Pulse survey. 🔗 politico.eu/article/poll-e…

BREAKING: The IDF gave it a name. Operation Eternal Darkness. Read the name as a capability statement, not a codename. Fifty fighter jets. One hundred and sixty precision-guided munitions. One hundred targets. Ten minutes. Three geographic zones spanning 170 kilometres from Beirut’s southern suburbs to the Beqaa Valley to southern Lebanon. Simultaneous impact. Zero warning to the targets. Defence Minister Katz said it was the largest concentrated blow Hezbollah has suffered since the pager operation in September 2024. The pagers were hardware infiltration. This was something else entirely. In September 2024, Israel compromised Hezbollah’s supply chain, embedded explosives in pagers, and detonated them simultaneously. It required months of physical engineering, covert procurement, and logistical insertion. It killed approximately 40 commanders. Operation Eternal Darkness killed over 200 operatives in a single ten-minute window without touching a single device in advance. The penetration was not physical. It was informational. The IDF confirmed that the operation was planned several weeks in advance and was going to proceed regardless of whether the Iran ceasefire was reached. The timing was driven by what the military described as optimal operational conditions. Translated from military language into plain language: the intelligence picture was complete. Every target’s location was known. Every target’s location was current. And every target’s location was known to be current at the same moment. That simultaneity is the revolution. It is not possible to strike 100 dispersed command nodes across 170 kilometres in ten minutes unless you have real-time positional data on all of them continuously. Not yesterday’s data. Not this morning’s data. Live data, updating faster than any human can relocate, verified across multiple intelligence streams, and fed into a strike package that executes before the first target can warn the second. Israel has built what military doctrine now calls a “data factory”. The system originated in Gaza where Unit 8200’s AI platforms, known internally as Gospel for infrastructure targeting and Lavender for personnel identification, compressed target generation from 50 per year to 100 per day. Haaretz confirmed on March 31 that this data factory is now active in the Lebanon and Iran theatres, creating a single operational picture from satellite imagery, drone feeds, signals intelligence, cellular metadata, and human sources fused through machine learning algorithms that identify patterns faster than any analyst corps on earth. The name Eternal Darkness is not poetic. It is literal. When you strike every command node, every intelligence headquarters, every missile coordination centre, and every elite unit’s operational hub simultaneously, the lights go out across the entire organisation at once. There is no fallback node to activate. There is no secondary command to assume control. There is no communication channel to issue the order to disperse because the communication channel is what revealed the location in the first place. Hezbollah’s options after Eternal Darkness are binary. Go digital and be found. Go analogue and be slow. An organisation that abandons digital communications to survive surveillance becomes an organisation that cannot coordinate distributed operations, which is the definition of a degraded force. The IDF does not need to destroy every fighter. It needs to destroy every connection between fighters. And on April 8, in ten minutes, it demonstrated that it can do exactly that across an entire country. The pagers changed the supply chain. Eternal Darkness changed the definition of command and control. In 2026, your signal is your coordinates. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

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…

A Canadian woman with a swollen appendix was told to go to the emergency room. She shows the wait time screen. Over 15 HOURS to see a doctor. And she says she had already been waiting 3 hours. This is universal healthcare in Canada.

If this report about CCP supplied missiles through Pakistan to Iran is true, this is an act of war and China (and Pakistan) should be put on notice immediately and the CCP should NOT be allowed to send another 500K students to attend our U.S. colleges and universities, never mind all the other deals our USG makes with the CCP. And, if true, what does this say about Pakistan being the honest broker in negotiating a cease fire or longer term peace deal between Iran and the United States? Someone needs a reality check. All wars, but especially costly wars suck, but once engaged, and we are clearly and deeply engaged, we MUST now either win and win decisively, or we must extract our way out of this mess allowing the time necessary to reset ourselves in America for what could be a long, hot summer. Don’t kid yourselves, this is not over until all sides say it is and all sides respond accordingly. All sides are clearly and obviously not just the United States and Iran. And keep homeland security in mind too, because the foreign threat here in America from Iran (and others) is very real and it is not activated to the level required until our enemies say so. I pray our federal law enforcement are on top of this issue. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecMullinDHS @DAGToddBlanche @FBIDirectorKash @DNIGabbard

Trump confirms Iran fired around 100 missiles at a US aircraft carrier, all successfully intercepted by the US Navy. Reports claim the failed missiles were recently supplied by China via Pakistan.
