On Oct 8, 2023, 24 hours after the Hamas massacre, Hezbollah launched unprovoked barrage of rockets & artillery at Israel. Not in "defense" of Lebanon; they actively openned a second front in solidarity with terrorists.
For nearly 20 years, the border was largely stable. That ended because Hezbollah decided to intervene. Their Oct 8 rocket attacks on the Shebaa Farms were the initial spark that forced Israel to act to protect its northern citizens. Israel didn't seek this war; Hezbollah did
If Hezbollah hadn't fired that first shot on Oct 8, there would be no war in Lebanon today. Facts: Oct 7: Hamas massacres 1,200+ Israelis. Oct 8: Hezbollah launches unprovoked rocket attacks on Israel from Lebanon. Result: Israel forced into defense to stop daily bombardment

🚨 EXPOSED —- THE GOLDMAN GOVERNMENT 🚨

You think Carney was a GREAT Governor of the Bank of Canada?

Have you EVER considered that maybe — just maybe —

You only got the version they wanted you to see?

They told you he saved the economy.

He saved the BANKS 👇🇨🇦 Image
Before Carney — Canada's interest rate sat at 4.25%.

Your savings GREW.

Your dollar was STRONG.

Household debt was manageable.

The Canadian banking system was already one of the most stable in the WORLD.

Canada didn't need saving.

Remember that. 📄 Image
Carney took over in 2008.

He inherited a rate of 4.25%.

He slashed it to 0.25%.

The LOWEST in Canadian history.

Then he held rates at or below 1% for FIVE STRAIGHT YEARS.

No Canadian central banker had EVER done that before.

He was the first 🔴 Image

Our Rapamycin & Exercise clinical trial has just been published!

The topline result?

Rapamycin didn't help. Instead, it may have made things worse.

Here's what we found 🧵

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…Image
Image
Image
We ran the first double-blind, placebo-controlled trial combining weekly Rapamycin (Sirolimus) 6mg with exercise in older adults.

40 sedentary people aged 65-85. Both groups did the same 13-week at-home exercise programme. Half got Rapamycin, half got Placebo.
The idea: the "cycling hypothesis."

Exercise activates mTOR → muscle growth. Rapamycin inhibits mTOR → autophagy and cellular cleanup.

Alternate the two and you get the best of both worlds. At least, that was the theory.

@DonJBacon @BezosBezoar @Heritage_Action The Haitian refugee crisis in Springfield helped sway the election for Trump. Nobody but the left wants the hundreds of thousands of unvetted people from one of the worst countries on Earth over 200 years running.

It’s historically illiterate to call Jews "colonizers" in Judea while ignoring the 7th-century Arab conquests. Through the Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates, Arabian armies colonized the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain, erasing indigenous cultures and languages by force.
If you want to talk about "settler colonialism," look at North Africa. The indigenous Amazigh (Berber) people were conquered and suppressed for centuries by Arab imperialists. Their land was renamed the "Arab Maghreb."
In 1948, >850,000 Jews lived in Arab lands from Iraq to Morocco, today, almost zero remain = textbook "ethnic cleansing" & slow-motion genocide of ancient communities. While Israel’s Arab population has grown tenfold, Jewish population in Muslim world was systematically erased.

Exclusive | If you want to understand what’s unfolding in Lebanon, you have to start from Gaza.

The same Israeli military tactics tested there: encirclement instead of full occupation, destruction instead of stabilization, and attrition instead of decisive victory, is now being extended into South Lebanon.

After Gaza and the renewed regional escalation, Israel’s approach is no longer about quick battlefield control. It is about slow pressure: reshaping geography over time while avoiding the heavy cost of urban warfare.

1/3Image
On the ground, Israeli occupation forces are not fully invading or holding towns. Instead, they rely on a “turtle crawl” strategy: bypassing villages, encircling them, cutting supply routes, and securing high ground without entering densely populated areas.

This creates a fragmented battlefield where movement is limited but control is incomplete.

At the same time, resistance forces are adapting with hybrid warfare, FPV drones, guided missiles, mobile units, and ambush tactics, turning advance routes into killing-zones for invading units.

Despite Israeli tactical movement, repeated attempts to secure full encirclement, especially around key axes like Bint Jbeil and Khiam, remain uncompleted, with ongoing hit-and-run engagements and steady losses disrupting operational plans.

2/3Image
Strategically, the goal goes beyond military engagement. Analysts describe a broader plan to reshape southern Lebanon into a controlled “pre-Litani environment”:
a buffer zone, isolated villages, destroyed infrastructure, and reduced population density to enable long-term illegal control.

But this strategy carries a contradiction: every attempt to avoid urban combat stretches supply lines and increases exposure elsewhere, while resistance tactics are designed to convert movement into attrition.

The result is not a clear victory or full occupation, but a prolonged war of exhaustion, where Israel seeks leverage through destruction, and the resistance seeks to deny stability at every step.

1) Those consumed with daily "news" or the 30-second Tik Tok view of the world cannot begin to understand the fundamental changes happening right now to Europe.

2) The Euros signed their death warrants over a decade ago with the twin evils of Muslim immigration and depopulation.
3) The China Virus & its vax were just the cherry on top of destruction.

4) President Trump jokes about Mediocre Britain's Navy, about NATO's military "readiness," but there is a much bigger reality underneath this that has nothing whatsoever to do with guns, drones, bombs.
5) The Euros more than 40 years ago lost the capability to, as united countries, fight in a serious conflict. That's bad enough. Yes, they have some fine units. But the Brits barely handled Argentina in the 1980s.
