Yemen's Ansarallah launches mass mobilization, declares full readiness to end Saudi-led, US-backed aggression, blockade & occupation —— Armed tribal gatherings and mobilization campaigns continue across Yemen following a call by Ansarallah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, with participants reaffirming their full combat readiness to end the Saudi-led, US-backed aggression, blockade, and occupation. The campaign amounts to a nationwide general mobilization aimed at rapidly reinforcing military frontlines. Armed rallies were held across Sana'a, Dhamar, Hodeidah, Ibb, Hajjah, and Al-Jawf, where the Bani Nawf tribes declared a general mobilization and pledged to implement Houthi's directives, expressing readiness to confront any future escalation, according to Saba, Al-Masirah, and other sources. Ansarallah's General Mobilization Forces also announced their "full and immediate readiness" to reinforce frontlines "at any time and place" determined by the leadership. The movement said the campaign is part of efforts to "reclaim rights and resources," "expel occupiers," and "end the blockade," adding that hundreds of thousands of recruits have completed its "Al-Aqsa Flood" military training courses. The mobilization comes amid heightened regional tensions surrounding the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding, ongoing US-Israeli aggression against Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen, and renewed clashes along several contact lines in South Yemen. It also follows Ansarallah's warnings that it could resume military operations, including in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as its vow to target any Israeli presence in the breakaway region of Somaliland.

Let’s talk about Zipline’s test sites and who we’re hiring for 🧵 They are where elite talent meets 24/7 large scale high volume testing. They’re the engine that helped scale Zipline to the largest autonomous delivery service on earth, 5,000+ autonomous trips around the world and we’re just getting started. Zipline's testing in 2025: 315,000+ test flights 🚀 35,000+ flight hours (480+ straight days of nonstop flying) 🙂‍ 3,000+ flights per day 📈 Our test sites are built to push our system to the max so that we de-risk tomorrow. Each one tackles a different brutal edgecase to make sure the system’s reliability is bulletproof. Our 'engineering test site' in the video I posted is reconfigured every few weeks: new obstacles are added, new flight apps reviewed, new edge cases are tested in any weather condition. Every new software build deploys here first, into live airspace. Our other sites are placed around the U.S. and are focused on testing in severe conditions that ground most if not all other forms of transport. They operate in scorching heat of up to 125 degrees, high-altitudes, intense rainstorms, 60+ mph winds, hail, sleet, and extreme cold-weather, down to -20F. Heavy ice and snow accumulation on propulsion and sensors is the norm. We aggressively chase these conditions in test so we dominate when it really matters. We are now developing 5+ new test sites, each one dialed in to push even more extreme weather and edge conditions. What I am especially proud of is that our safety has kept improving even as flight volume, complexity and environmental hostility increases. We’ve been able to test and develop at a scale that’s unprecedented in aviation history because our teams own a 100% fully vertical tech stack, built hand in hand with our flight and application software teams. We have to have the most robust airspace and fleet management tools on earth because Zipline will soon operate the largest fleet of aircraft on earth. Now to the fun part, we're hiring! DM me or send me an email to marcusZipline.com if you want to join Zipline Test Operations! We're hiring Flight Test Operators, Test Site Operators, Flight Test Electricians, Flight Test Construction Staff, Flight Test Project and Program Managers, Flight Test Engineers, Flight Test Safety Managers, Flight Test Security and, most importantly, Flight and Fleet Application Software Engineers. Please, cut to the chase. We have zero requirements on degrees, formal education or tenure. What counts is what you can do, merit, and what you’ve shown you’re capable of. Highlight that. Let's go!

August 7, 1942. This morning the United States goes on the offensive for the first time in the entire war. Nineteen thousand Marines splash ashore on a jungle island almost nobody had heard of, and the long, bloody road back across the Pacific begins here. The island is Guadalcanal. For eight months since Pearl Harbor, the Japanese had done nothing but advance, sweeping across the Pacific and Southeast Asia in a run of conquests that seemed unstoppable. The Americans and their allies had been reeling, reacting, losing. Then came word that the Japanese were building an airfield on Guadalcanal, in the Solomon Islands, from which they could threaten the sea lanes to Australia. If it was finished, it would be a dagger pointed at the Allied position in the whole South Pacific. So the Americans decided to hit back, fast, before it was ready. The operation was called Watchtower, though the men who threw it together on a shoestring, short of everything, called it Operation Shoestring. The 1st Marine Division, about 19,000 men, went in supported by a fleet of American and Australian ships. On the morning of the 7th the first Marines waded ashore on Guadalcanal around nine in the morning, and to their surprise met almost no resistance. The Japanese construction troops there fled into the jungle, and the Marines quickly grabbed the half-finished airfield, which they would name Henderson Field, the prize the whole campaign would revolve around. Across the water it was very different. On the small islands of Tulagi and Gavutu, the Japanese defenders fought nearly to the last man, and the Marines had a savage fight on their hands from the first hours. Taking the ground on the 7th turned out to be the easy part. What followed was six months of hell, a grinding campaign on land, sea, and air, as the Japanese poured in reinforcements to retake the island and the Americans fought to hold it. There would be naval battles in the surrounding waters so costly the stretch of sea became known as Ironbottom Sound for all the ships that sank there, and desperate battles ashore around Henderson Field, and starvation and malaria and jungle rot for both sides. But the tide turned here. Guadalcanal was the first place the Allies took ground back from Japan and held it, the first offensive, the moment the long retreat stopped and the long advance began. It started on this morning, with Marines wading onto a beach nobody had heard of.

🚨BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: A GOVERNMENT IN WAITING This Saturday at 7pm UK time, 2pm Eastern, and on Sunday morning at 6am AEDT, Freedom Train International presents a Special Report examining what serious leadership for the United Kingdom could look like. This is not campaign rhetoric. This is a framework for government. Four conversations. Four pillars of statecraft. One coherent direction. In Part One, I sit down with Mark Byford to discuss political realignment in Britain — why voters are rejecting managed decline and what a sovereign, accountable government would prioritise from day one. In Part Two, former Royal Engineer and paratrooper Andy Dye addresses national defence and border integrity. We examine force readiness, strategic resilience, and what rebuilding confidence in Britain’s armed forces actually requires. In Part Three, Professor Norman Fenton dissects institutional failure — from academic capture to data manipulation — and outlines how transparency and evidence-based governance must replace narrative control. And in Part Four, I speak with Advance UK leader Ben Habib. Immigration policy. Sovereignty. Economic direction. Civil liberties. We discuss not slogans — but the responsibilities of executive power. This Special Report asks a simple question: If Britain were to change course tomorrow, what would responsible leadership look like? Not protest politics. Not managed opposition. But administration. If you believe the United Kingdom deserves governance rooted in accountability, free speech, constitutional integrity and national confidence — this conversation matters. Saturday, 14th February 7pm UK 2pm EST and on Sunday morning at 6am AEDT Freedom Train International. Don’t be scared, be prepared.

Yesterday, I had the distinct honour and privilege of being entrusted by His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, to represent him at the official opening of ED Block at Millennium Heights. It was a great privilege to witness first-hand the remarkable progress of this visionary development, for which His Excellency had the honour of breaking ground. ED Block stands in a class of its own. With 130 exceptional apartments, including 10 luxurious penthouses, it represents a new benchmark in quality, design and modern living in Zimbabwe. The broader Millennium Heights development is an ambitious vision comprising 10 blocks and approximately 1,500 residences and apartments—a significant investment that reflects confidence in Zimbabwe's future and the possibilities that exist when vision, enterprise and leadership converge. I was particularly encouraged to see the 1 BILLION BRICKS vision of Mr. Ken Sharpe taking tangible shape and to witness the remarkable contribution that His Excellency's leadership and support have made in helping bring this vision to fruition. As a Presidential Envoy and Ambassador-at-Large, I remain deeply honoured to serve and to represent the President on occasions that showcase Zimbabwe's progress, excellence and investment potential. A new standard has been set. A vision is becoming reality. Zimbabwe is building for the future. #PresidentialEnvoy #AmbassadorAtLarge #Zimbabwe #MillenniumHeights #EDBlock ZimbabweRising InvestmentInZimbabwe Development Leadership Vision Harare

Breaking! 🚀 🇨🇦 NordSpace successfully tested its fully integrated sub-orbital rocket, Taiga, powered by its proprietary and in-house 3D printed Hadfield engines and pressure vessels. This marks a significant step forward in preparation for Canada’s first commercial space launch. Taiga is the only commercial liquid rocket being developed in Canada, and is expected to launch later this year from our own spaceport, Spaceport Canada. Canada finds itself at a critical juncture with its sovereignty in space at stake. Our successful integrated rocket test is a major leap forward, and we are already in the advanced phases of completing the flight-ready version of Taiga. NordSpace was founded in 2022, and in a short time period has rapidly developed significant rocket technologies, launch and test infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing capabilities. NordSpace's CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said “This successful test is not only a testament to our team and nation’s unmatched technical capabilities, but also our resilience and sheer determination. I witnessed our team for days and nights on end battling extreme winter conditions with undefeated resolve and grit. It confirmed that we do have the right stuff, and we will deliver this incredibly important sovereign capability for all Canadians. Like the land, air, and sea, space is no longer some final frontier for Canada. Space is an essential domain we must unlock, and launch a capability we must own. Without it, we are jeopardizing not only our sovereignty, environment, security and economy, but are also relegating Canada to a participatory instead of a leadership role in this domain. NordSpace will not let this happen.” Recently, NordSpace announced the inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference (CSLC), taking place in Ottawa on April 29th, 2025. The first event of its kind in Canada which will invite participants from industry, academia, and government to plan Canada’s future commercial launch efforts. NordSpace is working closely with the Canadian Government and its many industrial partners to ensure a safe and historic launch from Canadian soil, and would like to thank Transport Canada, 3 Canadian Space Division, National Defence, ISED, Canadian Space Agency, NAV CANADA, Space Canada | Espace Canada, Ontario Government Ontario Economy, and Government of Newfoundland & Labrador for their substantial efforts.
