weapons from the modern Chinese stock like: - J10 fighters - JF17 fighters - VT4 tanks - A100E (MLRS) were displayed. Sources say that #Beijing has likely asked #Pakistan to not use their weapons against #India in case of an escalation to prevent any mis-happening. China is 2/3

trying to sell J10 fighter variants to Egypt, Uzbekistan, M. East & Africa and has sold JF17 fighter to #Myanmar, Nigeria & Azerbaijan. In case any of these Chinese units crash or get hit, #China can loose its business. US has not granted permission to fly F-16s till now. 3/3

If you sell heavy military equipment to Pakistan they are going to use it against India or Afghanistan. Prohibiting its use against India in the sales contract would render the stuff useless to Pakistan. I’m thinking they already have that stuff up in Kashmir or they are moving it undercover.

That shows the confidence of C on P’s warring/ operating abilities. So P can just buy from C but only C will use at right time! There is also possibility of reverse engineering if I captures any of it.

China is terrified for the world to see that it is more of a paper tiger than Russia. Most of their equipment is knock offs of other western equipment that was already decades old. If it's used it would remove all doubt about how ineffective it truly is. China does not have the money or ability to replace it with something better yet because they haven't been able to steal those designs yet or produce it domestically.

I AM JUST AN INTERESTING PERSON…NOT A “PERSON OF INTEREST” 🤣🤣🤣 Over the past few days, SOCIAL MEDIA has been awash with various ALLEGATIONS, counter-allegations, ASSUMPTIONS and conspiracy theories emanating from the recent private visit by H.E. President Ramaphosa to Zimbabwe. What should ordinarily have been CELEBRATED as a BROTHERLY and COMRADELY engagement between two neighbouring HEADS OF STATE has unfortunately been taken OUT OF CONTEXT by certain overzealous OPPOSITION detractors who appear determined to MANUFACTURE controversy where none exists. Surprisingly, in the court of PUBLIC OPINION, some have INFERRED that I am the so-called “person of interest” vaguely referred to in a STATEMENT surrounding the visit. From my understanding of the remarks made by the Presidency spokesperson, no individual was ever IDENTIFIED BY NAME, and I therefore find it necessary, purely in the PUBLIC INTEREST and for purposes of setting the record straight, to briefly clarify a few issues. 1. For the record, I am a well-established and successfull businessman of UNQUESTIONABLE INTEGRITY, and I am not wanted in connection with ANY criminal offence whether in Zimbabwe, South Africa or any other jurisdiction whatsoever. This is a position which the INTERPOL has even confirmed on several occasions. South Africa is practically my SECOND HOME and coincidentally, as I post this, I am in CAPE TOWN, on holiday with my wife , kids and their friends. I have often in the past and even recently travelled OPENLY AND FREELY through normal IMMIGRATION channels without the slightest difficulty. If I were indeed some “person of interest” as social media PROSECUTORS allege, I would have OBVIOUSLY been detained, questioned, indicted or subjected to some form of official process. None of that has happened, because the REALITY is often less exciting than the FICTION many STUPID people on social media desperately wish to create around the surname “CHIVAYO”….which is not only a SUPERIOR but UNIQUE and blessed SURNAME. 2. My limited understanding of VVIP SECURITY PROTOCOLS is that no individual gets into CLOSE PROXIMITY with any sitting Head of State, let alone forms part of a ANY delegation, without EXTENSIVE security vetting, screening and clearance by the relevant STATE SECURITY institutions. It is therefore quite ASTONISHING that some sections of the public, especially failed OPPOSITION members in both Zimbabwe and South Africa, appear to believe that BUSINESSMEN who were present during the visit simply EMERGED from nowhere. If anything, I was DEEPLY HONOURED and PRIVILEGED to have been part of the delegation that welcomed President Ramaphosa. I must however urge the South African Twitter detectives and prosecutors to direct this same energy towards denouncing the prevalent XENOPHOBIA ATTACKS , ARMED ROBBERIES and KIDNAPPINGS. South Africa 🇿🇦 is an amazingly beautiful country but RICH PEOPLE have to move around with 15 heavily armed and special forces trained bodyguards in fear for our lives. 3. I have also noticed an APPARENT CONFUSION and unfortunate conflation between myself and my young brother, Joacham Chivayo. The surname “CHIVAYO” is highly recognisable and whether people LIKE IT OR NOT, naturally attracts PUBLIC CURIOSITY and ATTENTION. Everyone associated with it is somehow linked to BIG BUSINESS, SUCCESS or influence in one form or another. Joacham is my little brother, whom I LOVE and hold with the highest RESPECT, and I say this publicly and without any fear of contradiction. However, I cannot meaningfully COMMENT on matters relating to his PRIVATE AFFAIRS or any allegations that may have circulated online regarding his business dealings in South Africa. If there are legal processes involving him anywhere, those matters are PERSONAL to him and have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with me, just as my own PERSONAL AFFAIRS have nothing to do with him. In any event, any accused person is presumed INNOCENT until proven guilty. TO BE CONTINUED...

//The Wire//2300Z April 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: STRATEGIC AIRLIFT OF AMERICAN GROUND ATTACK AIRCRAFT TO THE MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES. AUSTRALIA MOVES TO NEXT STEP OF FUEL CRISIS PLAN. IRAN CONTINUES TARGETING OF MERCHANT VESSELS IN PERSIAN GULF.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- United Kingdom: Strategic movement of US military assets continues as ground attack aircraft continue their transit to the Middle East. A total of 18x A-10C Thunderbolt II (Warthog) aircraft were observed at RAF Lakenheath on a temporary stop during movement into the CENTCOM area of responsibility. 6x more F-22 Raptor's were also observed arriving around the same time, which supplement the increase in cargo aircraft heading to the Middle East over the past few days. Middle East: Iranian attacks on commercial shipping continue, as another vessel (M/T AQUA 1) was struck by two projectiles off the coast of Qatar last night. This morning, Iranian forces hit the headquarters for Batelco in Bahrain, a major telecommunications company which hosts several Amazon Web Services (AWS) server farms at this location. Fuel tanks at Kuwait International Airport were also hit again this morning, as Iranian forces continue to strike the tanks which were not destroyed in the first wave of attacks at the start of the war. Australia: Last night PM Albanese addressed the nation with regards to the growing energy crisis around the nation. Australia has transitioned into Stage 2 of their newly-announced National Fuel Security Plan, which mostly involves removing or reducing taxes on fuel as prices remain extremely high due to the tightening of availability. The next step (if so required) will involve more targeted action to conserve fuel resources. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - Tonight at 9:00pm (EST) President Trump is scheduled to address the nation with regards to the war in Iran. This follows the earlier address by PM Albanese of Australia and PM Starmer of the United Kingdom, who all have conducted addresses to their nations today, both of which focused on rising costs resulting from the war. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Within the Middle East, as the potential expansion of American combat operations looms, other indications are stacking up suggesting a more global involvement. Last night the Chechens announced that they are preparing to deploy to Iran in the event of a US invasion. While this almost certainly more of a propaganda effort than a serious endeavor, the potential involvement of mercenaries that have the backing of a superpower is still a factor for operational planning. Similarly, the Russians are claiming to have killed Anatolii Onyshchuk, one of the drone warfare advisors allegedly sent to Dubai to assist with efforts to coordinate more effective anti-drone countermeasures. Whether or not this is true is hard to verify with absolute certainty, however Ukrainian advisors have publicly been deployed to Dubai to liaise on matters of drone warfare. While these details are fairly minor, these developments highlight the fact that this war is not just a proxy war being fought by the United States...other nations are also involved as well. The Russians helping the Iranians to kill Ukrainian advisors in Dubai, while an interesting turn of events, is still an expected development that continues to stress the wide-scale nature of the wars being fought around the world. Regardless of how this war has worked out so far, the operational planning for what comes next will likely need to focus on not just the potential nuts and bolts of the Iranian defenses, but also the involvement of the rest of the world as well. Many adversaries of the United States seek to capitalize on any American mistakes in the region, and as a result everyone from armed factions in the Middle East, to Asian trade partners jaded by their treatment during the tariff scandals from a few months ago, will all attempt to settle old scores by making American endeavors in the region much more difficult than they otherwise would have been. Whether the war ends today...or escalates tomorrow...things will not be getting any easier anytime soon.

Iran war, day 140 | Iran hits back hard at GCC infrastructure and U.S. assets in kind Has the U.S. achieved any of its objectives in Iran? Not according to Israeli media! Per Ya'alon: “We failed in the war against Iran and none of the goals were achieved” Per Former Israeli War Minister Moshe Ya’alon: -I believe we failed, and worse, US blames us. •it was Israel’s initiative to strike Iran -We started the war with three goals: 1. Overthrowing the Iranian regime 2. Destroying the nuclear program 3. damaging the missile project -None of these goals were achieved. What war crimes did the U.S. commit today? Explosions have been reported in Sirik, Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, and on Kish Island. -the U.S. recently struck a water desalination plant in Hormorzgan -10,000 people are left without a water -not a single GCC terror state has condemned this war crime -Iran warned they will respond in kind and they did to Kuwait -Kuwait is a major sponsor of US terrorism -Iran struck a power station and water desalination facility in Kuwait twice over two days. -and now gulf states are up in arms blaming Iran -where was their outrage when the U.S. struck 100s of Iranian schools, medical facilities, hospitals and bridges and murdered over 6000 Iranians? Where was their outrage when the U.S. struck multiple Iranian water desalination plants? The US struck two strategic water tanks in the Bemani district of Sirik, southern Iran, completely destroying them and cutting off water distribution in all villages of the Bemani district and the city of Kohstak, per Iran's Hormozgan Water and Sanitation Authority. This is the fourth US strike on Iranian water infrastructure in recent days. Not a single gulf terror state has condemned US war crimes in Iran that have murdered Iranian women and children. So why doesn’t Iran strike Israel’s water facilities they say? -because then Palestinians won’t have access to clean water -Israel uses Palestinian human shields all across occupied Palestine How badly is Iran beating American air defence systems? Per WSJ: Iran has seemingly cracked the code on beating U.S. missile defenses. U.S. Officials say their missiles are flying faster and pulling crazy maneuvers, making them tough to stop. Plus, their aim is getting a lot better. Iran uses China’s Baidu system, and not US GPS for its signals intelligence and mapping. -the US has no answer for this and can’t hack the system The U.S. continues to lick its wounds in the kosher loving state of Jordan! New York Times: - Iran damaged a large number of American helicopters in Jordan - The American helicopters are Black Hawk models, each valued at $21 million -Iran also vaporized and injured scores of American invaders terrorists serving Israel How significant are iran’s strikes on Kuwait? -Two important US bases in Kuwait, have been destroyed! -In response to the US’s repeated aggressions, the martyrdom of dear compatriots, and attacks on bridges, infrastructure, and civilian areas in the sixteenth phase of Operation Thunderbolt, the Iranian army targeted the ammunition depot of the terrorist US army at Camp Al-Adairi and the Patriot radar and air radar of this aggressor army at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait with heavy attacks from its destructive drones. -Camp Al-Adairi is one of the important bases of the terrorist US army in the region, located 104 kilometers from the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is a major center for supporting and reorganizing American forces. -Disrupting the operations of this base will have a significant impact on the army's support operations in the region. -Ali Al Salem Air Base is also one of the important bases, the main air transport center, and the gateway for military forces to enter the West Asia region, playing a pivotal role in the military and logistical strategy of the aggressor US army in the region.

I've seen some people express incredulity over claims I've made recently that Ukrainian forces are suffering casualties an order of magnitude or more higher than the Russians in Ukraine. This is what inevitably happens when an artillery army faces a human wave army.⬇️ Contrary to the endless, unsupported claims of Ukrainian propagandists - a big lie repeated endlessly - the Russians are not constantly making mass attacks across the front and being repelled by "heroic Ukrainian defenders." The usual tactical cycle in Ukraine looks something along the lines of: 1. The Russians constantly shell, bomb, and drone all identified Ukrainian positions and forces, down to individual soldiers moving in the open, causing mass casualties. The Ukrainians have no substantial surface or aerial fires left and respond only with sporadic drone attacks, causing minor casualties. 2. The AFU continually throws press-ganged conscripts into the line to prevent outright collapse. Due to Russian fire superiority, these conscripts have to move up to front line positions on foot, over considerable distances, while under surveillance and constant attack by fire as they move from rear positions to intermediate positions to front line strongpoints. This process takes time and many don't make it. Russian forces making similar journeys to their own front line generally do so in safety. 3. Eventually some Ukrainian front line position becomes isolated in this hurricane of fire, and surveillance indicates that there are only a handful of effective combatants left in it - slated reinforcements were killed or haven't made it that far forward. 4. Russian command sends an assault platoon or even a squad forward to seize the weakened position. Generally these assaults are successful with few Russian casualties, and we only learn that the Russians have advanced because the Ukrainians publish video of drone harassment raids on the seized position. 5. Russian forces dig in on the captured position and continue bombarding the Ukrainians while monitoring for weak nodes in the front line. Damaged or disabled vehicles (if any) from the latest assault are recovered, repaired, and returned to service in days to weeks. Generally within a day or two another strongpoint or fortified zone fades and can be seized. You can immediately see how this tactical model produces casualties an order of magnitude or higher for the Ukrainian side than the Russian, and it is borne out by careful and skeptical observation of the character of fighting in Ukraine. The Russians advance a step at a time with utmost deliberation while the Ukrainians and their NATO advisors drive themselves insane trying and failing to stop them with decisive maneuver tactics in a war that the Russians have coldly shaped into a struggle of merciless, positional, lopsided attrition. The Russians have implemented and continually refined this tactical model since April 2022, seeking to maximize enemy casualties while minimizing their own. This really represents the pinnacle of data-driven Soviet fire doctrine - the application of "x" rounds into "y" specified enemy positions for "z" time can be resulted to expect in an advance of "K" kilometers and "D" enemy casualties. They've probably refined the old Soviet fire models (largely based off WWII data) to an absolutely Ptolemaic degree in this war. Eventually the Russians may change tack and resume a war of high-speed maneuver - presumably when they can do so in a relatively secure manner with minimal losses to their own forces. What is certain, however, is that they will only take this action at a time and place of their own choosing.

First time I ever met the REAL President Trump, he dropped the ‘F Bomb,’ and it was EPIC 💯😎 And people wonder why REAL Veterans and current Service Members love him. There’s so many people who talk and don’t have a damn clue about Laws and Orders along with Strategic and Special Operations. You’re finally seeing the SWAMP exposed for all their heinous crimes and decisions to do so for the past 70 plus years and their bureaucratic “diplomacy” that put us in unnecessary conflicts and wars. This was an OPERATION not a War. Too many Americans are too stupid and ignorant and “educated” with manmade bullshit degrees from institutions that were designed to brainwash and control young “adults” and others to give a faux entitlement in a manmade tier system that’s a 21st century form of slavery as it controls minds and dollars. Especially “Political Science” degrees which are GARBAGE. Americans that can’t separate terminology of a War and an Operation definitely cannot comprehend the Legislation and Orders that support it and the Constitution. But… that’s okay. 👉🏻 NOTHING Can Stop What’s Happening. And when the smoke clears and ashes become cool… Many will have NOWHERE to hide with all the ignorance displayed and timestamped as all their heroes will praise President Trump and the World Operation. Everyone can know, if they’ll seek peace. Peace has a Plan. Hatred, Maliciousness, Viciousness, Yelling, promotes itself, fear and ignorance. Those doing so demonstrate they have nothing to contribute to society. That’s also why RINOs and Never Trumpers look PURE STUPID for jumping ship. Not only do you look STUPID but you feed to the enemy. DRAINING THE SWAMP means calling out ALL. Not favoring certain people as the bureaucrats did. Remember when PDJT said, “these people are so incompetent when they fire someone, they just move them to another department or position?” Here he is calling out Israel and Iran, but being the one who solves the problem. This shows: 1. Pre-Planned as outlined in Laws and Orders invoked with visuals of the Military Actions via Strategic and Special Operations. 2. The bureaucracy the past 50 years as Executive Order 12170 with National Emergency declared in 1979 with Iran has been ongoing since then. 3. There’s a BRAND New Congress moving forward. No more days of old. Where’s Hillary? Obama? George? Jeb? YE of little Faith. 💯♟️🪤🇺🇸

The Kozyrev Doctrine – Why India Turned Away From Russia and Went West. And Why India needs to be Wary of Jumping Back to Moscow. 1. If hell is run by an Indian, there is a special place in it for Andrei Kozyrev, the Russian foreign minister from 1990 to 1996. 2. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Kozyrev became the new foreign minister of Russia, and supported close ties with the West. He may have been a CIA mole because he single handedly destroyed the decades old Indo-Soviet partnership. 3. As per the Kozyrev Doctrine, the new Russia would no longer give special importance to India but instead would treat India and Pakistan as equals. This Russian foreign policy seemed like it was drafted in Washington DC. 4. The new Russian Doctrine took things too far. When Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao sent his emissary Mani Dixit to the Kremlin to urgently get spare parts for India's armed forces (which depended on Russia for 70% of their requirements), Kozyrev refused to meet him and instead sent a junior diplomat. No guarantees were given about spares. 5. If Pakistan or China had attacked India at that time, India's armed forces would have run out of spares in a week. This was not only a violation of legal contracts but a major betrayal that India's leadership took very seriously. 6. So Pakistan, the country that was responsible for the deaths of 15,000 Soviet lives during the Afghanistan War, was equated with India, a time tested friend. 7. Kozyrev relegated India to a secondary role. And India's leadership was forced to look West. 8. It was under Kozyrev's watch that India diversified away from Russia. Narasimha Rao had no choice but to diversify India's security links as its most crucial erstwhile ally continued to labour in confusion and anxiety over its economic and political status, with no clear signal regarding its foreign policy preferences. 9. Kozyrev currently lives in Miami where he has acquired lots of wealth and a nice tan. He slams Putin to the delight of his American backers (or perhaps CIA handlers). If Kozyrev is indeed an American asset then US intelligence agents deserve Congressional medals for pulling India away from the Russian sphere. 10. Following the Russian betrayal, India splurged billions of dollars on American weapons such as 12 C-130J Super Hercules aircraft ($2 billion), eight P-8I long-range maritime patrol aircraft ($2.1 billion), 10 C-17 Globemaster-III strategic airlift aircraft ($4.1 billion), and 145 ultralight M177 howitzers ($438 million), and 22 Apache attack helicopters plus 15 Chinook heavy-lift choppers ($2.5 billion). 11. The Kremlin has two types of diplomats. The old guard which values Russia's relationship with India and the rest of the world. Vladimir Putin belongs to this group which is currently powerful. 12. The second is the "Look West" group which seeks to build the unviable "Vancouver to Vladivostok Common European Family." Because let's face it, the Anglo Saxon looks down upon the Slav, especially the Russian, as Untermensch - racially inferior. 13. Putin and the old guard know this. The younger Russians are not as aware or do not care about their place on the geopolitical chessboard. All they care about is Starbucks. Many young Russians live in delusion that because they are white the West will welcome them as the last bulwark against the Asian hordes. 14. So the words of Russian diplomat Roman Babushkin hold little value. He is right that unlike the West, Moscow will never impose sanctions against India. But that is true only as long as Putin is around. The next generation of Russian leaders will once again sell their country to the Americans - just like Yeltsin and Kozyrev did. 15. Modi's Multilateralism is the best policy for India. Work with everybody. But do not trust anybody. The US is a future adversary - absorb as much technology as possible from it before the inevitable clash. Russia is unreliable - use it as a source of cheap oil and minerals.

//The Wire//2300Z April 2, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: COLONIAL PIPELINE SHUT DOWN BRIEFLY OVERNIGHT AFTER SUSTAINING DAMAGE IN GEORGIA. STRATEGIC BUILDUP CONTINUES IN MIDDLE EAST AS UNITED STATES BEGINS TARGETING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN IRAN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Middle East: American targeting within Iran continues as Iranian forces continue to hit U.S. bases throughout the region. American bases in Kuwait have been hammered over the past few days, with ballistic missile strikes being reported at Camp Arifjan and Ali Al Salem Airbase. Within Iran, this morning the United States began more deliberate attacks on infrastructure which are not solely military targets. The B1 bridge west of Tehran was destroyed, which was not yet opened (it was still under construction) but would have been the largest bridge in the country and the main link between Tehran and Karaj. Analyst Comment: The Iranians are very likely to retaliate by hitting one (or several) critical bridges throughout the region, on the south side of the Persian Gulf. The King Fahd Bridge linking Bahrain with the mainland was already struck by the Iranians on the opening days of the war (when Saudi forces crossed the bridge to put down the Shia uprising/protests in Manama) so if they wanted to hit it again they've already demonstrated that they have the ability to do so. Iraq: This morning the US State Department issued another travel alert, specifically warning that attacks may escalate over the next 24-48 hours. Analyst Comment: This is probably in response to the kidnapping of American journalist Shelly Kittleson by Kataib Hezbollah two days ago (who still remains missing in Baghdad) but also the deteriorating security situation nationwide, which is being compounded by various Iraqi militia groups beginning to mobilize against American forces in the region. More strategically, the situation is Iraq has deteriorated to it's lowest point in years, and there is now a very real risk of some kind of insurgent uprising coming about, due to the opposing militant groups which have been stirred up by the situation in Iran. This will be an important situation to monitor over the next few weeks. India: Following weeks of petroleum disruptions nationwide, the first oil tanker arrived in Vadinar overnight, completing India's resumption of purchasing crude oil from Iran, which was originally halted in 2019. Analyst Comment: India had previously halted the purchase of Iranian oil due to American sanctions, but due to the war in the Middle East resulting in the US waiving oil export sanctions, India has resumed the purchase of oil from Iran. Indian media reports that the transaction was carried out in Chinese Yuan. -HomeFront- Georgia: Yesterday evening Colonial Pipeline's Line 1 was shut down after sustaining damage during drilling operations. The pipeline was shut down for several hours while repairs were conducted, and as of this morning Line 1 is fully functional. Analyst Comment: While this incident was not the result of malign action and it was resolved quickly, this was still a big deal. This is the largest gasoline pipeline network in the United States, and provides the vast majority of gasoline to the east coast. Considering the recent volatility in the oil markets, this outage occurring right before a major holiday weekend for travel was exceptionally poor timing. Washington D.C. - Several leadership changes have taken place this afternoon. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been relieved of her duties, with her Deputy Todd Blanche taking over her roles until a replacement is found. At the Pentagon, General Randy George was requested to take an early retirement, effective immediately, stepping down from his role as Army Chief of Staff. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: President Trump's address to the nation last night concluded without any major announcement of policy changes, and the speech was neither an announcement of the end of the war nor of any substantial increase of combat operations. Timeline wise, President Trump stated that the conflict will last 2-3 more weeks, though no official exit plan was conveyed. More generally, speeches by political officials are not usually reflective of the tactical situation on the ground and as it stands right now, the raw information available to the public continues to indicate another surge of military hardware and resources into the Middle East. Yesterday CENTCOM published their list of assets deployed to support Operation Epic Fury, which included many resources which have recently arrived in theater, such as the EA-37B COMPASS CALL platform (which is used for electronic warfare). This platform arrived on station yesterday, having been observed at Mildenhall Air Base on her way to the Middle East two days ago. Aircraft movements such as this one (and others) continue to indicate that operations are ramping up...not down. National-level reconnaissance and EW assets being moved into theater at this point (conducting their first combat deployment a full month after the war began), is not an indicator of the war coming to a close.

I revived my 14-year-old dog with peptides. 6 months ago, he was slowing down fast. He was limping, achy, getting up slowly, and couldn't jump on the couch. We honestly didn't know if we had 6 months left with him. Today, our boy is running, jumping on the patio, going on long walks again, and even his hearing is back. I approached his protocol the same way I'd approach mine. - We started with BPC-157 and TB-500. 1-2 mg a day, 5 days on, 2 days off, injected basically the same way you'd inject a human. Within a couple of weeks, we saw less limping, less stiffness, he was moving better, etc. - Then we ran his labs the same way I run mine. Everything looked good except some minor kidney markets, and at his age kidney issues can spiral into problems dogs don't come back from. We addressed this with a bioregulator stack, again the same ones I use. - Then we put him on TRT. We're all aware of what happens to men when testosterone tanks with age. Now consider that we neuter our dogs, cut off their testosterone production entirely, and never think about it again. We put our boy on testosterone and the change was immediate. Within days of the first shot he became a different dog. We started with one shot a week, but just like in humans, by day 5 or 6 the levels drop and you get peaks and troughs. So we split it into two shots a week: Tuesday and Friday. We started conservatively, around 20mg per shot, and titrated up from there based on how he responded and how his labs looked. We landed at about 60mg total per week for a 70 pound dog, keeping a close eye on labs the whole way. That made a huge difference. Shot day is like a revival for him. ... And it's not just us, in fact other families are running the same protocol and seeing similar results. 6 months ago we were counting the time we had left with him. My kids were horrified by the thought that he would no longer be there as they grew up with him as their full-time guardian. Now I genuinely believe we have another 3 years. If you have a dog, understand that he's aging the same way you are. He needs help, but he can't do the research... you can! And after seeing what this protocol did for him, I knew other dog owners deserved access to it too, so check the tweet below.

🚨Mawlawi Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, said in a press conference that the TTP emerged in 2002 in reaction to the bombings & unmanned attacks by the Americans in the tribal areas, which were carried out with the permission of the Pakistani militias½ 🔴The existence of TTP has been ongoing since 2002, & its cause was the misguided policies of the Pakistani military at that time, when it allied itself with America & then allowed the Americans to carry out drone strikes in the Waziristans & tribal areas. 🔴The Pakistani military itself took enmity with the helpless people of Waziristan, repeatedly announcing large and small operations against them, killing people, destroying homes, & filling prisons with tribal people. 🔴The TTP issue is not a matter of today or yesterday, & this issue has no connection whatsoever to Afghanistan, particularly the Islamic Emirate. 🔴A brief mention of the Pakistani military's operations & wars against the people and TTP in the tribal areas: In 2002, the TTP movement was formed in reaction to the Pakistani military allowing America open-handed bombing & drone strikes in the Waziristans. 🔴Since then, Pakistani forces have carried out various operations and attacks against it, & similarly, TTP has conducted large and small attacks in Pakistan from that time until now. 🔴For the first time in March 2002, the Pakistani military announced and conducted operations named (OPERATION AL-MIZAN) against TTP in South Waziristan, North Waziristan, & Orakzai Agency, resulting in up to 80,000 local people being displaced inside Pakistan. 🔴In 2007, the Pakistani military announced operations named (Rah-e-Rast) against TTP in Swat and Malakand, forcing four lakh people from Swat & Malakand into displacement, & some refugees also crossed into nearby areas of Afghanistan, where the government at that time settled them near the Durand Line. 🔴In 2008, the Pakistani military announced operations named (OPERATION SHER DIL) against TTP in Bajaur Agency, displacing nearly six lakh people. 🔴In October 2009, the Pakistani military again announced operations named (Najat) against TTP in South Waziristan, forcing approximately three to four lakh local people into displacement. 🔴In July 2011, the Pakistani military announced operations named Spin Ghar (Koh-e-Safaid) against TTP in Kurram Agency, resulting in about one lakh local people being forced into displacement. 🔴On June 15, 2014, the Pakistani military announced operations named Zarb-e-Azb against TTP in North Waziristan, displacing nearly up to one million people, more than half of whom crossed over the Durand Line, and the government at that time set up camps for these tribal refugees in Khost and Paktika. 🔴From 2014 to 2017, the Pakistani military conducted operations named Khyber 1, 2, 3, 4 against TTP & tribes in the Tirah & Bara areas of Khyber Agency, forcing three to five lakh people from their areas into displacement, a large portion of whom came to Nangarhar province and were settled in the relevant area by the previous administration. 🔴Report on Operation Al-Mizan: 🔴Reports on operations and displacement in Swat: 🔴Reports on refugees settled in Afghanistan before the Islamic Emirate's rule: 🔴These are the facts & documented information showing that the Pakistani military was engaged in war with Pashtun tribes & TTP even before the arrival of the Islamic Emirate. 🔴Before the Islamic Emirate came to power, they admitted that in the so-called war on terrorism, between 80,000 to 90,000 of their military personnel and people had been killed. 🔴Pakistani admission regarding military and civilian casualties before the Islamic Emirate's rule: Major incidents in Pakistan before the Islamic Emirate's rule: 🔴The issue of attacks and damages in Pakistan is not a new incident connected to the arrival of the Islamic Emirate; rather, large-scale attacks had occurred on Pakistani soil long before, causing heavy casualties, which clearly shows that this issue is Pakistan's own problem, not the Islamic Emirate's. 🔴In August 2007, TTP captured 300 Pakistani soldiers alive during operations in South Waziristan, who were later exchanged for forty imprisoned members of Baitullah Mehsud. 🔴On August 21, 2008, an attack was carried out on a weapons manufacturing factory in Punjab, Pakistan, killing numerous people. 🔴On June 2, 2008, a car bomb attack was carried out on the Danish embassy in Islamabad, killing several people. 🔴On October 28, 2009, a car bomb explosion occurred in Peshawar city's Meena Bazaar, killing numerous people. 🔴In October 2009, a car bomb attack in the Shangla area market of Swat killed up to 47 people. 🔴On May 22-23, 2011, an attack was carried out on the PNS Mehran naval base in Karachi, killing 18 naval officers & wounding 16, according to reports. 🔴On December 16, 2014, the Army Public School (APS) incident occurred in Peshawar, killing around 150 people and wounding 134. 🔴Many similar other incidents & attacks have also taken place in Pakistan; we have only mentioned a few examples. 🔴What the Islamic Emirate has done regarding the tribes displaced earlier after coming to power: 🔴We have facilitated meetings & gatherings between the Pakistani government, Pakistani parties, ulema, & the refugees who came to Afghanistan. 🔴The Islamic Emirate has transferred those tribal refugees settled in areas near the Durand Line—whom Pakistan feared—from the Durand Line to central areas & set up camps for them to ensure better control. 🔴Carrying weapons with tribal refugees has been prohibited. 🔴A reform commission has been established to resolve issues & provide ongoing oversight. 🔴 If anyone goes outside Afghanistan in the name of jihad without the Amir's permission, a Sharia ruling & fatwa have been announced against them. 🔴To promote peace and security in Pakistan, we facilitated direct negotiations between the Pakistani government & TTP, which resulted in a long-term ceasefire at that time, & talks made significant progress, but everything was sabotaged by a specific circle within the Pakistani military. 🔴Currently, the tribal refugees present in Afghanistan were settled here before the Islamic Emirate's arrival, & as mentioned, the reason for their migration was the misguided policies of a specific circle in the Pakistani military, violence, & operations in the tribal areas. 🔴The Islamic Emirate will warmly welcome all efforts & measures that result in these refugees returning to their areas. 🔴Likewise, despite all these measures, the Islamic Emirate still considers itself responsible for not allowing anyone from its soil to interfere in another country's affairs, but rather to prevent it.

THIS IS PURE FIRE 🔥🔥MJTruthUltra 🚨 SHE JUST SEALED IT: Barbara Boyd Drops the Hammer on London’s Secret Propaganda Machine Trying to TORPEDO Trump, Vance & Iran Peace Talks Before Midterms! No conspiracy theories. Just facts that prove a coordinated London-led operation is working overtime to keep the Middle East on fire and destroy America First before the midterms. Trump made it crystal clear on Truth Social: If talks fail, it’s game over. The IRGC (the mullahs’ militia) is the real problem—they have to look tough no matter what. Iran is bleeding 500 million dollars a day by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Their regime is collapsing. Peace would be a massive win for Trump. But London and their Iranian assets don’t want peace. Why? Because chaos equals profit. The Propaganda Op Targeting JD Vance (This Is the Smoking Gun), Edward Luce (Financial Times) just published a hit piece calling Vance “shrinking” and no longer Trump’s obvious successor. It got picked up everywhere (CNN, CNBC, Daily Beast). Luce isn’t some random columnist—he’s the son of a top British royal household official and a former Clinton speechwriter. London’s man in Washington, plain and simple. This kicked off after Vance’s epic Munich Security Conference speech in Feb 2025. He told the UK/Europe elites to their faces that they’ve become “fascist” with their election cancellations, censorship, and hypocrisy. He said the real threat isn’t Russia or China—it’s the strangulation of free speech in their own governments. Within hours: British press smeared him as “Putin’s tool.” Same Russiagate playbook they used on Trump. Boyd seals it by showing this is not random opinion—it’s a coordinated cyberwar/propaganda operation using UK intelligence tools (like the old Integrity Initiative). 🔻 How the London-Run Iran Propaganda Machine Actually Works (3 Layers—Boyd Lays It All Out) 1. Press TV – Iran’s English-language broadcaster literally runs out of London (license revoked in 2012 but still operating). They put “respectable” Western faces like George Galloway on air to push the narrative. 2. NIAC (National Iranian American Council) – Poses as a harmless advocacy group in D.C. Court docs show its founder coordinating directly with Iran’s UN ambassador on lobbying strategy. 3. Iran Experts Initiative – Leaked Iranian Foreign Ministry emails (2023 Semaphore investigation) prove Iran secretly embedded American “experts” in top U.S. think tanks and media. They promote Tehran’s talking points without disclosing ties. Some ended up in the Obama/Biden White House and Pentagon. Even Biden’s own Iran envoy had his security clearance yanked over this network. All three layers use the exact same British playbook they ran against Trump and for the Ukraine war. Identical phrases show up in mainstream media, social media influencers, and Democratic talking points. This isn’t organic opposition. It’s a foreign influence operation designed to prolong the war and tank Trump’s momentum. The Real Motive: City of London’s Trillions Depend on Chaos UK/Europe are in an economic meltdown (cut off Russian gas and nuclear, now relying on expensive Gulf oil plus windmills). The City of London controls oil prices, shipping insurance, and Middle East financial plumbing. Unstable region equals volatile oil prices plus sky-high insurance premiums equals trillions in profits for London banks. Iran’s role as regional terrorist sponsor keeps the chaos going.

A call for establishment of a transitional regional government that represents diverse perspectives and for the immediate withdrawal of military forces from the Amhara region by Former Amhara Region Governor Gedu Andargachew. The leaked footage by Ethiopian Reporter captures Gedu's candid address to the Ethiopian Parliament, wherein he raises significant concerns and critiques the actions of the current administration. Here are the key takeaways from his speech: 1. Failure to Learn from Past Mistakes: Gedu acknowledges that the government failed to learn from its five-year history of ineffective governance, implying that the purported reform efforts were misguided from the start. 2. Manipulating Political Problems: The former governor accuses the Prime Minister's government of orchestrating political issues and then resorting to military intervention to solve them, highlighting a troubling pattern that has persisted over the past five years. 3. Military Force vs. Political Solutions: Gedu asserts that military intervention cannot be a lasting solution to Ethiopia's political problems, and that pursuing peaceful political means is the key to achieving sustainable peace. He underscores that the Ethiopian nation's prospects for peace lie in political dialogue rather than the continued violence that has left a trail of devastation. 4. Addressing Legitimate Concerns: Gedu acknowledges the legitimate concerns of the Amhara population, emphasizing that addressing these concerns through political channels is crucial. 5. Regime's Political Failures: Gedu points to the regime's political failures and lack of accountability as the root causes of the ongoing crisis, shifting blame away from the people and armed groups. 6. Misrepresentation of Amhara Concerns: The former governor criticizes the government for mischaracterizing the genuine concerns of the Amhara people as extremism, urging a more considerate approach to address these legitimate issues. 7. Reform Reversed to Dictatorship: Gedu declares that the initially promising reforms have regressed into a form of dictatorship. 8. Victims of Ethnic-Based Violence: Gedu emphasizes that the Amhara population has been victimized by ethnic-based violence due to the government's failures, and laments the violent response to their demand for dignity and security. 9. Legitimate Anger and Concerns: The former governor highlights the justified anger and concerns of the Amhara people, emphasizing that military suppression will not quell legitimate questions. 10. Broken Relationship with Prosperity Party: Gedu asserts that the relationship between the Amhara people and the Prosperity Party has deteriorated beyond repair, casting doubt on the party's legitimacy to govern the region. In his conclusion, Gedu recommends the establishment of a transitional regional government that represents diverse perspectives, calling for the immediate withdrawal of military forces from the Amhara region. However, following the speech, Gedu's residence was reportedly raided by regime forces, underscoring the ongoing tensions and crackdowns within the country.

🚨It’s 3:20 a.m. in Tehran. Here are my 16 key observations on the current state of protests in Iran (January 13). 1⃣ Sixteen days of nationwide protests—from December 28 to January 12—mark the largest mass demonstrations in Iran’s modern history. As of this hour, there are no verified reports of street protests today. 2⃣ According to multiple reports, at least 12,000 people have been killed—a figure that can only be described as a massacre. Observers warn the real number may be significantly higher. 3⃣ Iranian diaspora media—including Iran International, Manoto, and BBC Persian—shifted coverage today. After days of cautious reporting to avoid spreading fear, they began documenting the scale of the regime’s crimes. Iranian society is in shock; emotions are raw and volatile. 4⃣Regime media struck a triumphalist tone, citing yesterday’s pro-government rally and claiming that “with the wisdom of the people and security forces,” Iran’s enemies were defeated—just as in the recent 12-day war. Tasnim, an IRGC-affiliated outlet, ran a full-page headline: “Iran won its second war with Israel in one year.” 5⃣Opposition voices counter this narrative, pointing to the 1979 Islamic revolution’s 398-day trajectory and arguing that revolutions are marathons, not two-week events. They describe the current path as irreversible and insist this is not the end of the game. 6⃣ Regime media reported that, over the past two days, security forces raided and destroyed dozens of alleged “armed riot cells.” Police officials claimed hundreds of arrests in Tehran, while provincial authorities cited widespread detentions nationwide, vowing to pursue protesters “to the last person.” 7⃣ Tehran’s prosecutor announced that cases accused of “moharebeh” (punishable by death) are being fast-tracked, with indictments already issued or imminent. 8⃣The regime’s foreign minister told Al Jazeera that Iran would not abandon “justice for people killed by foreign agents,” implicitly framing January 8—the first day of the Crown Prince’s call to protest—as “Day 13 of a U.S.–Israel war against Iran.” 9⃣ Senior officials escalated rhetoric: the president’s executive deputy branded the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi “unpatriotic” for appealing to Trump; Khomeini’s grandson—without evidence—claimed protesters beheaded four people “ISIS-style.” Reformists and hardliners alike amplified coordinated, baseless accusations that protesters were beheading people and burning citizens alive. 🔟A regime figurehead claimed that two-thirds of the dead were “martyrs” killed by foreign actors—a familiar pattern over 47 years of blaming the U.S., Israel, and “enemies” for domestic unrest. At the same time, the regime refuses to hand over the bodies to their families in many cases. 11. Limited phone connectivity allowed Iranians abroad to receive harrowing messages from inside the country: accounts of relatives killed, questions about why the U.S. and Israel did not intervene, and pleas for international support amid mass arrests and fears of darker days ahead. 12. Trump, across social media and interviews, promised accountability for the regime’s crimes, warning that executions would trigger decisive action and emphasizing that the ultimate objective is “to win.” This messaging has sparked renewed hope. 13. At Trump’s request, Elon Musk made Starlink subscriptions free in Iran. An estimated 50,000 Starlink terminalsexist in the country, many previously offline due to cost. Meanwhile, state TV declared social media an “enemy battlefield” and said the internet will remain shut until “security conditions normalize.” 14. As limited connections return, families abroad are learning—often belatedly—of loved ones killed. One X user wrote: “I wish the phones hadn’t connected. They killed my cousin’s only 24-year-old son at his doorstep, in front of his father… I’m losing my mind.” [2nd pic] 15. New videos from January 8–9 are emerging with delay due to blackouts, revealing protests far larger than previously estimated. Many say January 8—the first day of the Crown Prince’s call—will be discussed for years. A journalist relayed from Tehran: “Everyone came out with their families. The regime saw the crowd—and chose mass killing.” 16. Outlook: The situation is extremely fragile. Street protests may be paused today, but public anger and shock are unresolved. Voices inside and outside Iran converge on one message: increase international pressure and demand global intervention. 2026 is a decisive year. The drivers of revolt remain—and in worse form. Resistance is likely to continue, possibly beyond traditional street protests. P.S. The first video dates back to January 8 in Mashhad and has just been released.

//The Wire//1800Z March 2, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TERROR ATTACK STRIKES TEXAS. GULF WAR CONTINUES IN MIDDLE EAST AS IRANIAN FORCES STRIKE AMERICAN BASES AND OIL FIELDS. MULTIPLE AMERICAN AIRCRAFT SHOT DOWN IN FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENTS. QATAR SHOOTS DOWN TWO IRANIAN FIGHTERS OVER PERSIAN GULF.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Middle East: The Gulf War continues to expand, with nearly every nation throughout the region being involved as airstrikes and drone/missile attacks remain regular around the clock. Kuwait: This morning, three separate American F-15E's were shot down due to alleged friendly fire incidents after allegedly being engaged by Kuwaiti air defense systems. All six pilots and weapons officers ejected and were rescued from the desert by Kuwaiti forces. Analyst Comment: This situation was rather dicey as local Kuwaitis on the ground initially thought that the Americans parachuting down were Iranians. This is possibly due to the American parachutes from the ACES II ejection seats being in the standard colors of Orange, White, and Green (which has been a standard for a long time). Unfortunately, this also looks very similar to the colors of the Iranian flag as it's descending on a residential neighborhood. As a result, several Kuwaitis responded to the crash site with weapons drawn, until it became clear that they were Americans. After the Americans were identified, they were protected and rendered aid until they were recovered safely back to American lines. Saudi Arabia: Most of the targeting efforts by the Iranians have focused on hitting oil infrastructure. This morning, the Ras Tanura refinery was been shut down completely following Iranian drone strikes, which halts roughly 16% of Saudi Arabia's total oil production capacity. Qatar: All Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) production has been halted due to Iranian strikes, and the airport in Doha remains closed at the moment. This morning Qatari forces downed two Iranian Su-24 fighters which were sortied to conduct targeting within their nation. Analyst Comment: If this report is accurate, this would be the first indication that the Iranians still maintain some limited air combat power, even though the runways at most of their airports have been cratered. UAE: In the Emirates, Iranian forces have been hitting Dubai and Abu Dhabi hard over the past two days. Power plants, oil terminals, and other energy infrastructure have been targeted, along with more military targets. The French Naval Base in Abu Dhabi was hit by Iranian munitions, and the fires have been burning overnight. Bahrain: The semi-former headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet has been heavily damaged, with a significant portion of the base being completely destroyed. This morning, Iranian forces struck an American strategic oil tanker, the M/T STENA IMPERATIVE, as she was sitting in port. Cyprus: The British Airbase at Akrotiri Airport has been targeted by Iranian missiles/drones several times over the past two days, with heavy smoke being reported at the installation sporadically yesterday afternoon. Israel: Substantial targeting efforts continue by the Iranians, with many ballistic missile strikes being carried out overnight. Rocket attacks by Hezbollah cells in Lebanon continue, with the IDF conducting several airstrikes in downtown Beirut in response yesterday evening. Regarding civilian infrastructure in the Middle East, most major airports throughout the entire region are closed for flights, most notably Kuwait International, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain. Right now, the main logistical hub for citizens fleeing the region is Riyadh, however the Saudis stated overnight that King Khalid International Airport was targeted by Iran. The ballistic missiles were successfully intercepted, but the window for evacuations throughout much of the region is probably closed for a while. Some airlines in Dubai are attempting to re-commence evacuation flights this evening, pending any attacks on the airport. Concerning American casualties so far, four American service members have been killed as a result of Iranian strikes throughout the region. Pakistan: Attacks at the US Consulate in Karachi have escalated as rioters have began engaging the Marines inside the compound with small arms. Pakistanis have taken pot-shots from pistols at the Consulate throughout the day, and the Marine Security Detachment has been able to hold the compound so far. -HomeFront- Texas: Saturday night, a terror attack was reported at a bar in Austin, which resulted in a mass casualty event. One gunman entered Buford's Bar on 6th street, and began shooting the patrons inside, before being killed during the attack. The suspect has been identified as Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized US citizen originally from Senegal. Concerning casualties, two fatalities have been reported, along with 14x wounded as a result of the attack. Analyst Comment: Right now most assumptions regarding this attack jump to the conclusion that this individual was one of the infamous Iranian "sleeper cell" agents that has been "activated" in response to events in the Middle East. At this moment, the evidence points to this being a lone-wolf attack as the suspect was wearing a pro-Islam sweatshirt during the attack, and underneath he was also wearing a shirt portraying the flag of Iran. Beyond these basic details, it will be crucial for the investigation to determine whether this guy was a random lone-wolf, or if there was some prior communication/coordination regarding this attack. In short, we don't know if he was communicating with Iranians or not, but he very likely conducted the attack due to events in the Middle East. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Right now, there is a lot of confusion pertaining to the messaging by American officials regarding this war. On the one hand, the United States has stated frequently that most Iranian military infrastructure has been decimated, but on the other hand everyone can see the drones hitting targets rather effectively, so what gives? Per long-standing doctrine, Iranian military leadership has substantially expanded on the idea of delegating authority to lower and lower levels of command, so as to ensure effective combat operations in the event that decapitation strikes took out most of their senior leadership. The Iranian's have been planning for this eventuality for some time, and thus their military infrastructure can be described in a single word: Redundancy. It is this theory that is being proven somewhat correct right now, as Iranian forces have been able to not just continue strikes, but launch increasingly more significant missile barrages throughout the Middle East...after most of their military leadership has been killed. As a result, even the effective decapitation strikes during the initial phases of the war, while a great success, were still not enough to stop the effectiveness of the command and control efforts at lower levels. Even going back to the 1980's Iran has been the textbook example of how cutting off the head of the snake, won't result in the body giving up the fight as quickly as the United States would hope. How long the Iranians can keep this up, is the 64-million-dollar question, but for now, killing the entire upper echelon of Iranian military leadership won't do much to reduce combat effectiveness in the short term. The missiles and drones that continue to fly by the minute are evidence of this doctrine, which continue to seriously threaten both civilian and military infrastructure throughout the region. All of this is supported by recent comments made by President Trump, confirming that this operation could take up to a month. Over 900x sorties have been conducted by US forces so far, and the level-bombers which have been forward deployed probably haven't even begun the large-scale bombings yet. As with all military operations, time will tell how it goes, and in this case the enduring question is how much damage Iran can do, as their scorched-earth campaign continues throughout the region. Analyst: S2A1 Research: Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

🚨The BIGGEST THREAT in the WORLD is NATO. 🚨Minsk Agreement was a scam, only made to provide Ukraine time to arm. 🚨Next I would like to see US president Trump or Biden being interviewed by Russians for 2hrs 7min. ‼️Never Forget that Vladimir Putin Was Only Asking About: 🔴Don’t expand NATO eastward 🔴Respecting Minsk agreements 🔴Keep Ukraine neutral. NATO was invented for the US to sell its overpriced weapons to Europe. It's just a scam. West and Ukraine NEVER intended to implement Minsk agreements — Putin ‘We KNOW about this now’ Putin: Moscow now knows for certain that Kyiv and the West never intended to implement the Minsk agreements. 🇺🇦 Kiev deliberately derailed the execution of the Agreements, while Western capitals chose not to intervene. ❗️ Angela Merkel and François Hollande later acknowledged that the agreements had primarily served as a tactical pause, allowing Kiev to rebuild and reinforce its armed forces ahead of a confrontation with Russia. 🇷🇺🇺🇦 WHY RUSSIA WILL NOT AGREE TO A CEASEFIRE! Putin was already tricked by Macron and Scholz at the beginning of the war: 1) Macron and Scholz asked Russia to withdraw troops from Kiev to sign the peace deal and end the war. 2) Putin withdrew Russian troops from northern Ukraine trusting Macron and Scholz. 3) The peace agreement from April 2022 was torn apart and the war took its destructive turn. Macron: “Russia has become a threat to France and Europe” ❗️TRUTH: Putin has made it abundantly clear that he has no intention of expanding the conflict. Macron: “We signed the Minsk agreements in 2014, and Russia violated them. We cannot trust agreements with Russia.” ❗️TRUTH: Both Angela Merkel and François Hollande remarked that the Minsk agreements were merely a temporary measure to give Ukraine time to arm itself. Four days before the Russian invasion (February 20, 2022) Macron himself told Putin that the Minsk agreements had no legal force and were worthless! Macron: “By 2030, Russia plans to mobilize 3 million soldiers and build 4,000 tanks ❗️TRUTH: No statement or confirmation from President Putin or Russian officials supports this claim whatsoever! Macron: “Peace will return to our continent only with a "pacified Russia" ❗️TRUTH: Russia has not been the aggressor, NATO has been the problem! If we want peace in Europe we must dismantle NATO! Macron: “Peace cannot be built at any cost under a Russian dictatorship, nor can it be achieved through Ukraine’s capitulation” ❗️TRUTH: The only dictator is Zelensky, Ukraine will have to capitulate to the terms that Putin has alwats demanded: Ukraine must not join NATO, the Eastern provinces, will remain under Russian control, which is what the people of the region want. Many of the areas have already been rebuilt by Russia and the oeople are living safely for the first time since 2014. Macron: “We don’t rule out the deployment of contingents of European troops in Ukraine” ❗️TRUTH: European countries have no military power whatsoever, this is an empty threat Macron decided to initiate a discussion about the use of France’s nuclear weapons to defend the entire EU ❗️TRUTH: The globalists are desperate. They want to escalate the war into the whole of Europe as the final blow to European nations which are currently alreasy on oxygen supply. A war if that proportions would allow them to plunder what little is left in European coffers, hide the corruption which is rampant in European governments and potentially give them the reason for a One World Government. Next week, France will gather the chiefs of staff of countries ready to "guarantee a future peace in Ukraine". ❗️TRUTH: This is empty fear mongering, the truth is that without the US, Europe does not have a leg to stand on. Macron threatened the USA with retaliatory measures in the event of the imposition of tariffs (we’ll just let Trump and Macron sort it out—it’ll be fun to watch 😂). Someone please tell Macron that the only things he shares with Napoleon is the short stature and that he’s suspected to have been gay too.

July 28 | Here’s a recap of the latest developments in Gaza: 1. At least 14 more Palestinians have died from famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including two children, Gaza’s Ministry of Health reports. This brings the total number of starvation-related deaths to 147, including 88 children. 2. At least 55 Palestinians have been killed and over 80 wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza since Monday morning, according to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera. Among the dead are 17 Palestinians Israel gunned down as they were trying to collect aid, including five people killed near the Morag Corridor, north of Rafah. 3. Gaza’s Government Media Office warns of a catastrophic shortage of baby formula, saying more than 40,000 infants under one are at risk of “slow death” after 150 days of Israeli blockade. “This is a silent crime of genocide,” the office said, demanding immediate access for formula and humanitarian aid. 4. The UN has welcomed signs of increased aid access, but says it remains grossly inadequate. The UN’s top humanitarian official said Israel’s recent measures are still just a “drop in the ocean” compared to what’s needed. Severe Israeli restrictions continue to block the delivery of life-saving food, water, and medicine to Gaza’s population. 5. France and Saudi Arabia are co‑hosting a UN conference in New York, starting today July 28 through July 30, to advance a roadmap toward the two‑state solution. More than 50 foreign ministers are attending — despite Israel and the U.S. boycotting the event. The conference aims to push for concrete political, security, and economic frameworks, including reconstruction plans, Palestinian governance reforms, and wider international support for statehood, alongside ceasefire demands.   6. Speaking in Scotland alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Donald Trump said the time has come to “end” the war in Gaza and that a ceasefire is “possible.” “I told Bibi [Netanyahu] that you’re going to now maybe have to do it a different way,” Trump said. Asked about a two-state solution, he replied, “I’m not going to take a position… I’m looking for getting people fed now, to me that’s the number one position—’cuz you have a lot of starving people.” He also complained the U.S. recently sent $60 million in aid and didn’t receive a “thank you” from starving Palestinians. 7. Keir Starmer, meanwhile, is set to hold an emergency cabinet meeting on Gaza, amid rising domestic pressure to support a ceasefire. Speaking earlier today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again denied the crisis: “There is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of starvation in Gaza.” 8. Two leading Israeli human rights groups—B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel—issued separate reports today that find Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. B’Tselem says Israel is taking “deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” describing the war as a targeted attempt to make Palestinian life impossible. PHRI’s report focuses on the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system. 9. Israel’s military body COGAT claims 120 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday and were distributed by the UN and international agencies. But Gaza’s Government Media Office says only 73 trucks actually made it in—and that the aid was looted before reaching distribution centers, all under the watch of Israeli drones. Despite promises of secure humanitarian corridors, the office says Israel facilitated the looting of the convoys, undermining any meaningful delivery of relief. ➤ Drop Site obtained exclusive internal documents detailing Hamas’ recent proposals—submitted before Trump and Netanyahu pulled their negotiators from the ceasefire talks in Doha.

//The Wire//2300Z March 10, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR CONTINUES IN MIDDLE EAST AS DRONE ATTACKS CONTINUE. SHIPS BEGIN ATTEMPTING TO RUN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AMID IRANIAN TARGETING EFFORTS. US CONSULATE IN TORONTO TARGETED IN SMALL ARMS ATTACK.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Middle East: The Planet satellite imagery company has announced an extension of their holding of satellite imagery throughout the Middle East. Planet had previously instituted a 96-hour hold on all imagery of American installations in the region, for the Operational Security (OPSEC) reasons of preventing Iranians from using up-to-date satellite imagery in their targeting efforts. As of this morning, Planet has extended this delay to two weeks, with all imagery of non-Iranian terrain being withheld for 14 days from all customers. Strait of Hormuz: The Strait remains semi-officially closed, as most commercial vessels refuse to accept the risk of trying to run the gauntlet. Iranian forces continue to strike cargo vessels, but some vessels are making the attempt to transit the Strait, amid these threats. This morning, one commercial vessel was reportedly struck by a drone (or had a near-miss), highlighting the risks for commercial shipping. Analyst Comment: Interestingly enough, some vessels have pulled a Leeroy Jenkins, and plowed through the Strait over the past few days with their transponders off, hoping for the best. Other vessels have also tried the old standby trick that was discovered during the Houthi targeting in the Red Sea last year...they're changing their AIS transponder data to claim affiliation with China, in hopes of being allowed free passage. This has worked for a couple of dozen vessels so far, but the targeting of shipping in the Persian Gulf is still too random to draw a conclusion as to what's actually being targeted by the Iranians. Korean Peninsula: South Korean officials have voiced concern regarding the reallocation of American strategic resources from the region. This morning, the South Korean media group Yonhap published photos of Americans disassembling a THAAD battery, which is being relocated to the Middle East to replace at least one of the sites that was damaged/destroyed by Iranian targeting efforts. Canada: This morning an active shooter was reported at the U.S. Consulate General in Toronto. Toronto Police state that a white Honda CRV approached the facility, stopping at the main entrance. Two suspects exited the vehicle and fired shots from handguns at the Consulate, before egressing from the scene. Multiple shell casings were recovered from the shooting site, and the shooters remain at large. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: National security is of course a higher priority than providing up-to-date satellite imagery of the Middle East for the civilian world; as unfortunate as it is, censorship is a critical part of warfare and there's absolutely nothing that can be done about it. However, the timing and nature of this censorship occurring now, is quite interesting. As a reminder, the Chinese have provided extremely detailed imagery of American equipment losses since the start of the war via their own satellite networks, so the Iranians don't exactly need American satellites at all. This seemingly unimportant satellite imagery delay can also serve as an indicator for the expected timeline of the war...requesting American satellite companies to intentionally withhold their imagery from the public for two full weeks is not something that is done if the war is coming to a close. Right now, a lot of rhetoric is flying concerning the potential end of the conflict, with analysis of President Trump's remarks on the war focusing on how long the war might last, or what might happen over the next few days/weeks. At the moment, we cannot make decisions based on this rhetoric, as it changes by the hour and is frequently contradictory. What we can do, is look at the facts. American companies are being ordered to withhold satellite imagery from the region for two weeks. American positions continue being targeted by Iranian drones, to include another strike at the THAAD battery in Abu Dhabi this morning, and a strike at Al Udeid Airbase last night. The United States continues to level and crater most military installations throughout Iran with overwhelming dominance, to include bombing sites which have already been bombed. Dubai and the GCC states at large continue to be targeted daily by Iranian drones, and flights are routinely grounded due these targeting efforts. All of these data points indicate that this conflict may last for some time. All it takes is a phone call to stop the bombing and bring everybody home, and considering President Trump's style of rapidly changing policies, this could very well happen. But as of right now, the ground truth does not reflect any "off-ramps" being feasible for a while. Analyst: S2A1 Research: Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

‡ The Pacific Classic Result It was unfortunate that Nysos was scratched, but the result was interesting, with Fierceness, the 1.6/1 second-favorite, comfortably handling Journalism, the (overbet) 2/5 choice. That the odds of the remaining five runners ranged between 22/1 and 72/1, underscored the yawning gap in quality between the top pair and the rest. So it was clearly no surprise that the "also-rans" toiled in their wake. What was surprising, at least at first glance, was how well Fierceness appeared to handle less than ideal conditions. But on closer inspection, his trip was actually far less challenging than the vast majority of post-race takes have suggested. His having ducked in soon after the start, almost making contact with the temporary extension rail, could have been a disaster, but it wasn't, and its importance has arguably been overblown. I say that because it was not similar to the trouble that he had encountered early in some of his previous races, in that he was in his own space, and was neither bumped, constricted, nor otherwise intimidated by other runners. This is an important distinction, because the mental weakness that he had previously displayed was related to close encounters with other horses, and his ducking-in after the break did not fall into that category. Inexperienced horses may suffer from that type of self-inflicted event, but given a mature, experienced runner, they are almost always forgotten quickly, which was clearly the case here. The fact that it was a long race also helped to mitigate the event, as there was no need for the rider to panic, or feel pressure to make up ground immediately. It is even possible that the early ground loss actually helped Fierceness, as had he been drawn closer to the pace early, it could have rendered him vulnerable in the late stages of the race. At the same time, due to the inside post, and how the race unfolded, Johnny Velasquez, who has done such a brilliant job keeping Fierceness outside and clear of his rivals in his previous wins, was forced to make the best of racing inside of horses. I understand why some are tempted to argue that Fierceness displayed a new dimension, as there were no obvious signs of him having been intimidated, despite the inside trip. But while I am willing to consider the possibility that he has gained confidence, I remain skeptical of any significant change, in part because it would be highly unusual for a horse to overcome that type of mental weakness midway through its four-year-old season, and/or in its 13th start. I also remain unconvinced for more subtle reasons. First, Fierceness was never bounced around, and with the possible exception of the first turn, he was never forced to race in especially tight quarters. Secondly, the rhythm of the race, after the initial duck-in, was actually smooth, and therefore beneficial to him. To understand why the above points are important, consider that Fierceness was never, so to speak, allergic to racing inside, but was more likely to face contact, be squeezed into a tight space, or have his rhythm thrown off when breaking from an inside post. In contrast, when breaking from an outside post, JV has invariably been able to place him clear of the pack, and in a comfortable, stalking rhythm. Fierceness is also essentially a free-runner, with a "light" mouth, and as such performs best when his rider allows him to dictate his own rhythm and pace. That is why, for example, Johnny V was not at all responsible for his loss in the Breeders' Cup Classic, as he is not the type of horse that a rider can take a strong hold of in order to restrain him further off of the pace, as that would discourage him. And to the great credit of both JV and Todd Pletcher, they picked up on this early on, and have done a superb job mitigating the colt's limitations, and maximizing his potential. In the Pacific Classic, despite racing on the inside, Johnny V remained cool and calm, and gave Fierceness another masterful ride. He and the colt's connections did benefit though, as none of his rivals, either intentionally or not, tightened things up significantly, or otherwise disrupted his rhythm. In fact, quite the opposite. Having tracked comfortably through much of the race, and with space around him, Fierceness displayed his trademark spurt on the final turn. And while the pan shot may suggest that he slipped though a tight opening, it was more like the red sea parting, as the embedded head-on view illustrates. If you are able to view the full head-on replay, you will find that despite racing inside, Fierceness actually enjoyed quite a comfortable trip, after the eventful few strides. A more subtle indication that we were watching the same horse as in his previous races comes :12-14 seconds into the embedded clip. When he was about to take the lead, he cocked his head to the right, as if he may have been worried about the horse outside of him. He was able to draw away from that one so quickly that it was ultimately of no practical consequence, but I would say that it implies that he hasn't suddenly developed the heart of a lion. *** Two qualities that have been crucial to Fierceness' success are his tactical speed, coupled with the separation that he produces on the final turn of his (two-turn) races. His ability to take command at that crucial stage has served him very well, particularly in his narrow win over Thorpedo Anna, and it was again on display in the Pacific Classic. A big part of the reason why that move has been such an important part of his arsenal is that it typically allows his him to take a "breather", before digging deep in an effort to fend off any late dangers. I encourage you to watch the (pan) replay of the Pacific Classic, and focus on Johnny V from around the 3/8th pole to the head of the stretch, as he was sitting like the proverbial statue. So for at least a furlong and a half, Fierceness was on cruise control, while Journalism, his only danger, was under pressure to make up ground, in an attempt to simply reach striking distance. But with all due credit to Fierceness and his rider for having produced fine efforts in the Pacific Classic, was this really an exceptionally outstanding performance, or was it at least partly a reflection of his only serious rival failing to run his best? I'm inclined to argue the latter. Despite Journalism having produced an unusually good 3yo campaign, capped by three Gr. I wins, including a Classic success in the Preakness, and never finishing worse than second, there have been some lingering questions. One of them is whether he is actually as well-suited to 10f. as he is to 8-9f. races. Yes, he was beaten in his two previous tries over 10f. by Sovereignty, a better horse. But in each race he was able to gain first-run on that one, an advantage that is typically difficult to overcome, yet lost ground late to the winner both times, and to Baeza as well, in the KY Derby. Some have suggested that he may have a tendency to loaf when in front, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence of that. And such horses typically dig in when passed, in efforts to re-engage, which we haven't seen, at least overtly, from Journalism. He also drew away from his rivals late in his first three wins. Alex Evers made this interesting comment about the kickback in the Pacific Classic: "I've photographed racing for 20 years, I've never seen kick back knock a jockeys goggles off like this." Here is a link to his supporting photos, which are typically excellent: Could that have discouraged Journalism? I suppose that it could have been an impediment, but he is such a tough and honest horse, that I would be surprised to learn that it was a meaningful factor. By contemporary standards, Journalism has also had a busy campaign, having raced a touch over once per month since March, all but one of which in Grade I events, and four times well away from his home base. So it is possible that he is beginning to feel the effects of those races, and travels. I have also noted that from a Beyer figure standpoint, he hasn't really moved forward, and it's worth noting that in contrast to Sovereignty and Baeza, both of which were late (May) foals, Journalism was a February foal, and may not have had quite as much room to improve. I don't know why he lagged so far behind in the early stages of the Pacific Classic, or if there was any tactical intention behind it. I had previously suggested that it might make sense to ride him more patiently, a tactic that is sometimes adopted when there are questions about a horse staying a trip. But I didn't notice any improved late kick, so it's difficult to interpret the performance. Fierceness earned a 107 Beyer figure for his victory, slower than his best three races last year, and merely equivalent to his comeback victory in the Gr. II Alysheba at Churchill Downs, in May. That doesn't suggest that it was a particularly outstanding performance. Journalism was given a 102, which implies that the return to his home court did not catalyze any notable forward move. *** I would say that there is one relevant pattern that has emerged, namely that Fierceness has an apparent affinity for the faster, high energy return track surfaces in California. He has now contested three races in CA (Beyer): 1st Breeders' Cup Juvenile (105) 2nd Breeders' Cup Classic (111) 1st Pacific Classic (107) It's also interesting to compare the colt's first and last half-mile fractions in his effort in last year's BCC, and the PC, both contested at Del Mar over 10f.: BCC – :45 1/5 • :51 3/5 PC – :46 1/5 • :50 2/5 Predictably, he finished better in the PC, thanks to more manageable early fractions. But would a repeat of that effort be nearly sufficient to win this year's Classic? Given the various points noted above, coupled with Sovereignty's continued improvement, and seemingly bottomless stamina, I would be inclined to say no. And that's before even factoring Sierra Leone, Mindframe, Forever Young, et al, into the conversation. But setting aside all of the fine parsing, I'm happy to congratulate Repole Stable, and Fierceness' other connections, for having shipped to California, and for being rewarded with an exciting, winning effort. Assuming that the colt makes it to the Breeders' Cup Classic in good order, he should minimally add spice to the race, and who knows, perhaps even provide a serious challenge to knock Sovereignty off of his current throne.

Muizzu’s UN speech was riddled with blatant lies and staggering hypocrisy. What we witnessed was a clear reflection of his character on the global stage. It is deeply embarrassing for every Maldivian to see him believe that such fabrications would go unnoticed by the international community. His words undermine the trust and credibility our nation once held, and under his leadership, we are steadily losing both our reliability and standing on the world stage. This was never the case during the MDP government, given their vast experience in international relations. Even a simple glance reveals glaring inconsistencies. 1. Muizzu: I have a map here of the world with countries which are facing some sort of crisis. In red, do you see any countries in green who are not facing any crisis? Do you know why? Because we are all deep in the red. Humanity is in crisis, and in many cases, it's man made. We need nations united in harmony, not United Nations in misery. The conflicts in the world were created by people like Muizzu. Wars have mostly been fueled by nationalistic rhetoric. World War I and II erupted from nationalist movements, much like the one Muizzu is attempting to cultivate in the Maldives by creating a ministry dedicated to nationalism. Muizzu also spearheaded a hate-driven campaign against India, a regional superpower, which he later confessed to the former president of Sri Lanka was merely a tactic to win votes. The aftermath of this tactic continues to this day, as hate-mongering weakens international relations and sows the seeds of conflict. Muizzu is not an agent of peace; he is an agent of division and war. His foreign policy has contributed to a less stable regional security environment. 2. Muizzu: I’m here at the United Nations with a vision of where I want to take my country. A society that is inclusive and just. A country that exemplifies sustainability and democratic governance. Under your presidency, our society is neither inclusive nor just. Only last week, the government extended the foreign study loan facility solely to the children of diplomats, leaving the rest of the population out in the cold. People are losing their jobs in the Maldives, replaced by incompetent party loyalists. Basic health insurance for those needing to travel abroad has become increasingly difficult for people with differing political views. Justice is being systematically denied. The Criminal Court itself acknowledged that police negligence allowed a criminal to walk free in relation to a road accident. It is widely believed that you interfered with the courts to block justice for former President Yameen. Meanwhile, democratic institutions are at risk, thanks to the stranglehold Muizzu exert on the media. 3. Muizzu: Boosting productivity will be the key to economic transformation. This we will do by reforming and strengthening our institutions. Anti-Corruption Commission has been reduced to a shell of its former self under your presidency. A thriving economy cannot be built on the back of institutions that refuse to hold the powerful accountable. 4. Muizzu: Enhancing digital connectivity is key to achieving Inclusive development. We are using and expanding artificial intelligence systems to deliver essential services such as health care, education and social welfare. Proper digital connectivity requires fast, affordable internet, but the initiatives launched by the previous administration to achieve this have stalled under your watch. As for your claims of using artificial intelligence in healthcare, education, and social welfare—that is simply untrue. No AI systems have been implemented in any of these sectors in Maldives. 5. Muizzu: We are also delving into cutting edge applications of 5G technology, using drones for medical supplies, delivery and implementing smart road systems, and using AI enhanced technology for erosion detection and environmental monitoring. The notion of using cutting-edge 5G technology is also a fabrication, a lie. Utilizing drones for medical supplies is not cutting-edge; it’s a sign of failure to stock essential medicines on our islands—a national disgrace. There are no smart road systems in the Maldives, and no island is equipped with erosion detection or environmental monitoring technology. Which also is a lie. 6. Muizzu: The transformation can be sustainable only if we transform our education and financial systems. Despite holding a supermajority in parliament, there have been no bills or initiatives to advance fintech, nor any indication that the MMA has shifted its stance to embrace modern financial solutions. 7. Muizzu: We need to invest in digital literacy from a young age, to build a generation that can use artificial intelligence to enhance public service delivery. No initiatives have been undertaken by your government to invest in digital literacy, yet funds have been allocated to promote nationalism in schools. Why didn’t Muizzu mention at the UN how much public money is being wasted on this propaganda project? 8. Muizzu: The result we desire is inclusive development, where equality of access to opportunities is guaranteed. Most development projects have been awarded to Chinese companies, even those that local companies could manage. Smaller projects have been marred by accusations of corruption. Even basic painting jobs from HDC have raised allegations of high-level corruption. There is no equal access to opportunities. 9. Muizzu: ....where every Maldivian citizen has adequate housing. As for housing, the land reclamation and plots and flats granted by the previous government have halted under your administration for no reason. 10. Muizzu: My government has launched $6.5 million loan facility IT specifically for women entrepreneurs, of which 25% is allocated to those with disabilities. The $6.5 million loan facility you mentioned for women entrepreneurs, including those with disabilities, never materialized. It was nothing but a campaign promise, and news papers revealed that these loans were temporarily halted by government. 11. Muizzu: Ras Malai this is my promise to the Maldivian people. Eight months have passed, and the Fushi Dhiggaru Falhu project remains incomplete. At times, there has been no progress at all, as developers have repeatedly stopped reclamation work & this could be the status of the project for the next 4 years. This project is a financial burden to the country and there was no transparency at any stage of the project. 12. Muizzu: Tourism drives the Maldivian economy. My vision is to expand the tourism sector further. His deputy ministers have actively damaged relations with one of our largest tourism markets—India—costing us more than $3.8 million, according to industry experts. 13. Muizzu: But we can't keep doing this. We can't keep meeting, talking, pledging, but not doing. We don't want these days to come back to haunt us. The days when we had a chance, but not a will. Muizzu is doing exactly what he claim at UN—making promises without delivering results. None of his pledges have been fulfilled, yet he continue to pile on new ones. Sounds like Muizzu is talking about himself. 14. Muizzu: We championed the right to environment because we are keenly aware of the consequences of environmental degradation. Despite claiming to champion the environment, he previously dismissed the environmental threats facing Maldives as a "myth" during an interview with Al-Jazeera. Now, at the UN, he spent around 3 minutes pretending to care about our environment. 15. Muizzu: We must accept a sovereign and independent Palestinian state on the pre 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. When the previous administration made a similar statement in support of a two-state solution for Palestine, Muizzu’s hardcore supporters opposed it vehemently. Now, he repeat the same statement, ignoring the hypocrisy. He should have gone for one state solution. 16. Muizzu: The Maldives has always taken ownership and responsibility for its own development. While we have received extensive support towards our development, we urge the multilateral development funds, banks and bilateral donors to view us as your partners, not just as recipients of aid. "Maldives has always taken ownership and responsibility for its own development," it suggests that Maldives is self-sufficient with funds and leading its own progress. However, in the very next sentence, he acknowledges that the Maldives has "received extensive support" towards its development, which contradicts his first sentence. We can become a partner when we can contribute to global funds and initiatives, not when our country relies solely on being the recipient. 17. Muizzu: What we are witnessing is the opposite inability to stop climate change and environmental degradation, inability to stop war and genocide, inability to stop exploitation and suffering. UN, like other multilateral organizations, is inherently limited in its ability to intervene in sovereign states. Its authority is restricted by the collective will of its member nations, as sovereignty remains a fundamental principle of international law. Muizzu doesn't know this?
