This news makes me think we might see something like a bloody Monday.  Margin calls I’m guessing…

🛰️ China OSINT

The China-provided satellite images are as good as any we have previously had available. Here is a nice shot of the US aircraft now on the tarmac at Diego Garcia.

I think it is a reasonable assumption that China (and Russia) are providing first-rate ISR to Iran. https://t.co/SzIDUpZGJw

✈️ US Air Assets in the Middle East

This is probably not very easily digested by most people, but it is still a fairly comprehensive listing of the air assets sent to the Middle East in recent weeks.

As best I can estimate, there have probably been, at most, about four dozen… https://t.co/eUDVobOn91

These people have no sense whatsoever of how major currencies functioned previous to 1974, 1971, 1944, 1913, etc. All they know is how to parrot the same half-dozen talking points of their catechism — most of which they only vaguely understand.

I would not be sad if cars died out.

At the moment that doesn’t seem to be happening though.

Seems pretty clear though the transition to electric is happening because those in the know realize the oil can’t last much longer.

I don’t know what to say today. We are ruled by abusive monsters.

The US is preparing for war with Iran.

They’re going in for the kill shot on Cuba.

The latest batch of Epstein emails looks horrifying.

The US is full of protests because ICE keeps killing people.

Israel is…

I don’t know what to say today. We are ruled by abusive monsters.

The US is preparing for war with Iran.

They’re going in for the kill shot on Cuba.

The latest batch of Epstein emails looks horrifying.

The US is full of protests because ICE keeps killing people.

Israel is still massacring civilians in Gaza as Australia prepares to host its president for an extended visit.

Reuters has confirmed that Biden officials actively obstructed the circulation of internal USAID reports that Gaza was being turned into a nightmarish hellscape in early 2024.

There’s so much cruelty. So much abuse.

You’d think all this evidence that we are ruled by deranged psychopaths would unite us against them, but it doesn’t. The population is more angrily, bitterly divided against itself than ever.

Political discourse has gotten as intensely vitriolic as I’ve ever seen it as Trump supporters take their stand behind the current abuser-in-chief and defend the status quo warmongering and tyranny with all their might. Discussing politics on social media feels like stepping into an emotional blast furnace these days.

They’ve done such a good job dividing us and conquering us. It’s really incredible how good at it they are. It would be awe-inspiring if it wasn’t so evil and destructive.

I haven’t felt like I’m in the zeitgeist recently. Usually I feel like I’m surfing the crest of dissident political consciousness and can provide insight and information into what’s coming up for us as a collective, but everything’s been so chaotic and frenzied lately it’s like trying to ride a bucking bull. I don’t know if that makes any sense to anyone but me, but that’s what it feels like.

I don’t really have anything to add to that right now. I try to write something every day, but today all I’ve got is a feeble “There’s so much cruelty, and it hurts.”

It fucking hurts, man.

When I saw this yesterday I was just depressed. Not because I’m surprised by the vileness of our enemies no. But how fucking cooked we r in their hands.

The average African today will tell u they don’t like Somalians and one major reason being Somalians don’t identify as African… https://t.co/4FNyFhvmwV

The average African today will tell u they don’t like Somalians and one major reason being Somalians don’t identify as African or whatever….

My sharp mind knows we believe this because it’s useful to some people for us to believe it…

As it turns out Israel has had its eyes on their water for a long time!

Making us hate Somalians and not care about them as much as other Africans was deliberate.

A sort of separating them from the herd to take them out.

Most of us in sub Sahara don’t care or notice these things.

When the evil Zionist start raping our children and stealing our land and we start hollering the world will say – first they came for the Palestinians and we said nothing, then they came for the Somalians and we said nothing still….
