This is how the Christian majority in Lebanon ended. “Lebanon was the only Christian country in the Middle East, and also the only one to accept Palestinian refugees. Lebanon had an open border policy, we wanted to share our knowledge with our Muslim neighbors. But then they became the majority, they started slaughtering the Christians who welcomed them.”

I think this is the most insane thing the CIA has ever made public. 😨 They have a secret AI tool called Ghost Murmur. It detects your heartbeat from 40 miles away using AI. Not your phone. Not a tracker. Not a radio signal. Your heartbeat. It uses sensors built from synthetic diamonds to lock onto the electromagnetic fingerprint your heart produces every single beat, then pairs it with AI to filter that one signal from 1,000 square miles of noise. Last week, a wounded American pilot was hiding in a mountain crevice in Iran. No phone. No tracker. No way to call for help. America found him anyway. From the sky. By listening to his chest. But nobody mentioned the most important detail. This was Ghost Murmur's first operational use. It's been sitting classified for years. Tested. Ready. Waiting. They didn't reveal it to impress you. They revealed it because the rescue was already public. Every technology a government admits to is the one they've already moved past. Your heart has been broadcasting your location your entire life. Someone just built the receiver.

Once a week I visit my parents & it’s there that I’m subjected to @ThreeNewZealand or @1NewsNZ for my weekly dose of hard core propaganda. Last night they described the women & children, forced to stand on bridges & surrounded power stations as human shields, as engaging in “civilian protest.” These people are sick. While I’m here, if you actually believed Trump was going to bomb these targets along with hundreds of women & children, you’re fucking insane.

@LDSeongdo @ImKingGinger Also, the question ‘does it amplify light’ always confused me. What does that even mean? It should just be a simple thumbs up or down and the votes should be transparent to creators and voters.

@ImKingGinger @RisesFromFlames I would like to know if all votes are counted the same even from people who only watched a small portion of a film. If you don't watch enough of a film then your opinion on it shouldn't matter. Not sure how they handle that though.

Can someone point me to anyone who is in the Angel Studios Guild that voted to support this new version of Animal Farm? I would like to talk to them and ask what it was about the film that they saw, and what they knew and how they voted. This is a serious inquiry. My running theory, if it was actually presented to the Guild, is that the guild has been co-opted. There is just no way that The Guild voted to allow a movie with a trans actor, and pro-communist message. If this indeed did happen. The Guild is Dead.

In Lower Hutt, New Zealand 🇳🇿, the owner of the Persian restaurant Banoo, Alex Aragon, hung Iran’s regime flag on the wall 🇮🇷 and placed American and Israeli flags 🇺🇸🇮🇱 on the floor at the entrance, so that customers naturally step on them when entering. Aragon called it a political statement, but it sparked heated arguments with members of the local Iranian community. Anyone who hangs the flag of the Islamic Republic while seeing Israel and the US as enemies, when they’re the only one helping Iranians resist the regime, is not a true friend of Iran. Many Iranians support the Israeli and American strikes against the regime in Iran. Thousands have died for Iran’s true flag, the Lion and Sun, to fly again. Even today, the regime executed two innocent young men. That is what the Islamic Republic’s flag truly represents.

NZ elections are looming. Luxon has failed us and the Left could win by default (as Luxon did) as a result. Perish the thought. Keep your vote to the right and give @nzfirst more influence. A sensible choice.

We all know it's Winston Peters who will decide the winner of this year's election. Which party do you want him to choose to lead the government? Labour or National giving them full support? Or Labour like 2017 with a strong NZ1st? Or Nats with many NZ1st cabinet positions?

Labour sabotaged and sacrificed the refinery on the altar of climate change... and now we reap the consequences.
Joseph Mooney MP@JosephMooneyMP

It’s been interesting hearing Opposition Leader Chris Hipkins saying that the closure of the Marsden Point refinery was a “private business decision.” While strictly correct, it omits significant government policies and decisions which made that “private decision” the only realistic one. I haven’t seen any media commentary on this. A May 2021 letter from the Refinery’s CEO to the then Minister of Finance described Marsden Point as one of “the safest and most reliable refineries in the region.” Notwithstanding that, the letter said it was considering a major change to its business to significantly reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and become an import only terminal. It noted that the Minister had directed ACC to accelerate moves to divest from fossil fuels. The letter noted that ACC held around 10% of Refining NZ’s shares, and as significant investments would be required to change it into an import only terminal, it asked the Minister to distinguish investment in Refining NZ from other fossil fuel investments given its critical infrastructure role. But why was Refining NZ looking at shutting down its refinery despite being one of the “safest and most reliable in the region”? A 2019 Ministry for the Environment Regulatory Impact Statement lays it out plainly. Refining NZ’s Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement - protecting it from full ETS exposure since 2003 - expired 31 December 2022. Under government policy settings it would then receive zero industrial allocation and face the full cost of its emissions. The ministry’s own analysis said this would “nearly halve the profitability of the refining business” - at 2019 prices of just $18 per NZU, it would produce an annual ETS bill of ~$20 million. The RIS recorded Refining NZ’s profits over five years: ∙2012: $31M ∙2013: -$5M (a loss) ∙2014: $10M ∙2015: $151M ∙2016: $47M Average that out and you get roughly $47M per year (with an exceptional 2015 year). The ministry itself said full ETS exposure would nearly halve profitability even at $18/unit. NZU prices didn’t stay at $18 which was readily foreseeable. The NZU price hit a record high of $88.50/unit in late 2022. Applied to the Refinery’s Scope 1 emissions of 1 to 1.3 million tonnes per year, that’s an annual ETS liability of $88.5M to $115M, and that’s before Scope 2 costs on purchased electricity and gas. On a business losing money in bad years, a potential $100M+ annual carbon bill isn’t a headwind. It’s a death sentence. The ministry knew this in 2019, and suggested options the government could take in terms of emissions liabilities to keep the refinery in operation, warning: “The closure of Refining NZ, which employs approximately 300 people, would have a significant negative impact on the Northland economy and would leave New Zealand dependent on the supply of refined petroleum products sourced from overseas refineries that may choose to prioritise supply to other nations ahead of New Zealand at times of shortages.” Read the Ministry’s RIS for yourself (that specific comment is at paragraph 25) 👇 environment.govt.nz/assets/Publica…

Artemis II is not just going "to the Moon," but rather traveling to meet it at an exact point in space. It’s all about orbital mechanics.
