Iraqi resistance forces enter war with new goals and advanced weapons cradle
* * * In a recent post, we discussed how Israel has put itself in a position where an overwhelming first strike, if carried out, is the best option. We discussed the possibility of using nuclear weapons, including use as an EMP (we discussed it with a top engineer adjacent to nuclear physics, and he said this was a huge leap forward and that Israel would try). I quite strongly agreed that it’s more than possible (more info). However, given that the Galant claims that the Israeli attack was “deadly, precise and surprising,” it could indicate the deployment of another type of weapon of mass destruction and could be a sign of sabotage. Alleges that the group is somehow injecting gas into underground bunkers to benefit the nuclear program and the Iranian leadership.

Lately, it has been said that the West is “incapable of agreement,” but this is because the West casually violates international understanding, negotiates in bad faith as a strategy of delay, slackness, and targeting of its own supposed leaders. It means that the agreement that was reached has been ruined.

Elon Musk’s X engages in ‘pattern of election interference’ to help Trump: Report The New Civil Rights Movement (Furzee). I don’t see how what Musk is doing is different from what other media moguls, especially Murdoch and Sulzberger, are doing, except that Musk is more vulgar. The real issue is not “election interference” but that Mr. Musk is a publisher by exercising editorial influence, and thus X and Facebook (which do the same thing but are less obvious) should lose their Section 230 liability immunity.
The Trump campaign worked with Musk’s X to censor my reporting. Ken Clipperstein. As mentioned above, like the mainstream media for Hunter laptops. But then again, they are the publishers….
