Hundreds of U.S. personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the U.S. launched a war on Iran just over a month ago. CENTCOM has sent outdated statements on casualty numbers. interc.pt/4cm5Ua4

This does not strike me as the messaging of a country that is looking to negotiate an end to the war. This appears to show a country preparing for a 10-year-war.

BREAKING: Denmark says it will boycott all diplomatic relations with Israel.

@SJonNantucket @JustinTLogan @PatrickBashamDI Yes. What he reads and sees will be mostly garbage, carefully crafted by the sycophants around him, for him.

@brainbootcamp @JustinTLogan @PatrickBashamDI Garbage

Not only do we have evidence here that Wiles is trying to surface people’s concerns, but the inevitable seems to be happening, too: setting up Hegseth to take the fall.

@SJonNantucket @JustinTLogan @PatrickBashamDI He will only read and see what feeds his narcissism.

@JustinTLogan @PatrickBashamDI This is utterly stupid. Trump can read polls and he watches news obsessively. He knows public opinion isn't good but he also knows that the best way to change that is to win the war

"There is no defined plan to retain ownership of strategic sectors." "Farms are consolidating or moving offshore." "ANZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac - are all Australian owned... ...Most credit creation in NZ, and a significant share of the profits that come with it, flows offshore." "We are not just exporting products. We are exporting ownership. Once those assets are gone, they do not come back." #nzpol

A surgeon at my gym took early retirement to go to Palestine & operate on 150+ kids. He’s a maxillofacial specialist & said he’s never seen cruelty like it; the IDF’s ‘game’ is to try & shoot children in the head without killing them. Why won’t you denounce them @Keir_Starmer?

🚨SON DAKİKA | İNGİLTERE PARLAMENTOSU’NDA DÜNYAYI SARSAN İTİRAFLAR! Epstein mensubu Netanyahu’nun “bebek katili” olduğu kesinleşti. İngiltere Parlamentosu tarihi itiraflara şahitlik etti! İngiliz doktor, İngiliz parlamentosunda yemin altında ifade veriyor, zor konuşuyor. Dikkatle dinleyin: “—Bence özellikle rahatsız edici bulduğum şey şuydu: Bir bomba düşüyordu, belki kalabalık bir çadır bölgesine… ve hemen ardından dronlar iniyordu! — Dronlar içeri girip sivilleri, çocukları tek tek vuruyordu! Acı üstüne acı… Bu ara sıra olan bir şey değil. Bu her gün, her gün oluyordu!.. — Ameliyat ettiğimiz çocuklar ‘Bombanın düşmesinden sonra yerde yatıyordum, dört pervaneli dron üzerime geldi, üzerimde durdu ve beni vurdu’ diyordu! — Bu açıkça kasıtlı bir eylemdi ve sistematik olarak yapılıyordu. Sivillere yönelik sürekli, kalıcı bir hedefleme vardı. Her gün, gün gün!” Yazıklar olsun! İnsanlık vazifesi olarak bu soykırımı duyuralım!

1/x In June 1967, during the Six-Day War between Israel and Egypt, Egyptian forces blocked the Suez Canal by sinking ships, laying mines, and filling it with debris to prevent Israeli use. A northbound convoy of 15 cargo vessels became trapped.

Australia was not established as a nation-building project. It was established as an extraction platform. The British did not colonize Australia to build a civilization. They colonized it to extract l; first convict labor, then wool, then gold, then minerals, then gas. The political architecture was built around that extraction logic from day one, and it has never been restructured away from it. You assume the state exists to serve the population, and therefore bad outcomes must mean the state is being run poorly. Australia is not a sovereign state that happens to have a mining sector. It is a private sector extraction platform that happens to have citizens. Every Australian who “owns” a home is servicing a debt instrument that enriches the FIC. The minerals get dug up by foreign-owned multinationals. The profits get distributed to global shareholders. The taxation office is structured; by design, through decades of lobbying, to ensure the extraction proceeds leave the country with minimal sovereign capture. The politicians are doing exactly what the structure requires of them: absorbing public anger, rotating every few years to reset the pressure valve. Australia is not mismanaged. Australia is managed perfectly, just not for Australians.

@asdfqwer123 @danpakko You’re a tone deaf idiot. You’ve made the silliest oxymoronic comment possible for the moment.

@danpakko Islamist apologist idiot.

Iran’s former ambassador to Australia Ahmad Sadeghi was expelled in August 2025, the first since WW2. Declared “persona non grata” by Penny Wong as a result of Iran being blamed by ASIO for two“antisemitic” arson attacks, with no evidence other than Mossad. Reinstate him NOW 1/2

@LoadedSbomb @ChrisPenknz FFS, myocarditis is 10x more likely following a covid infection.

@ChrisPenknz Congrats. Hopefully you can remove the Covid 19 Vaccine requirement for entry. My son wants to become the 4th generation in our family to join the RNZAF, but not at the risk of myocarditis... cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/healthc…

It's a real privilege to be appointed Defence Minister by PM Christopher Luxon. Thanks for all the well wishes here on X! I do wonder what this 21yo Navy sublieutenant would have thought about it 😂 (1/x)

Contrary to the ignorant narrative of unhinged US evangelist so called "Christians" - The Persian empire (Iran) actually commissioned and rebuilt the second temple of Jerusalem. The temple had been destroyed by the Babylonians. At the time of its destruction, Israel had long been conquered, and Judah was a vassal state of the Babylonian empire. The temple was destroyed as a punishment for attempting to rebel, the king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar had banked on egyptian support which never materialised....

Most moral army in the world shot Muhammad’s thumbs off after learning he was only 2 weeks away from becoming a surgeon.

Go fuck yourself Zvi, you’re an earnest supporter of IDF genocide. 🇮🇱卐

@sunshinehaze1 @napoleonbusch2 It's worse. The number of new oil/gas exploration permits dropped off a cliff in 2014. There is nothing there.

@napoleonbusch2 There are still 31 active permits for oil drilling. In 2018, the decision was to stop granting new permits. Where are all oil companies for the still existing petmits? Not here because it's too far away, and cost versus reward doesn't stack up.

Fuel for my business Vehicles 2025 through 2022 Has tripled 2022- $3505 2023- $5788 2024- $6604 2025- $9830 Thanks to Cindy and Piglet, it will, with any likelihood, be $20,000 -- plus in 2026. Closing down our Oil & Gas Industry and refinery when we should have been strategically building energy security. @mangonui08 @winstonpeters @RCR_NZ

@napoleonbusch2 If Mardsen was still running you would still be in the same position. Your business skills are lacking if you didn’t look at alternatives to your rising fuel costs. The writing has been on the wall for years that cheap fuel would not last.
