The war against Iran is the endpoint for a regime-change war policy, enacted by the US & its allies, including Israel. It is underpinned by lies and deceptions starting with what happened on 9/11. This blatant false flag operation started the wars. #Iran ic911.org/commentary/the…

1) First, Afghanistan was attacked under the pretext that it harboured Al Qaeda, the alleged perpetrators of 9/11. This led to a 20-plus year war and casualties conservatively estimated at 176,000 people. costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/paper/human-co…

2) The US and its allies then constructed the now infamous lies about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and, simultaneously, implied Iraq was behind 9/11. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 led to a decade long and bloody civil war. academic.oup.com/psq/article/12…

🧵 The Chicago Bears are almost certainly going to Hammond, Indiana. Here's why it's basically done, won't be exactly where you think, and why the deal is smarter than anyone's giving credit for. (Thread)

1/ Indiana signed SB27 into law this week. The Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority exists. The financing framework is signed. Indiana did in one session what Illinois couldn't do in three years.

2/ The site is Wolf Lake in Hammond — right at the Illinois border. On a clear day you frame the Chicago skyline behind the dome. The lake in front. It still *looks* like Chicago. That matters for a 100-year franchise.

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

2/9. Iranian operatives pretended to be Proud Boys.

3/9. The Iranians pretending to be Proud Boys hacked data and then threatened Democratic voters.

Japan Is the Big Winner
The Real Story

Nothing about Operation Epic Fury occurred within a thousand miles of Tokyo. Yet no capital in the world stands to gain more from the wreckage of Khamenei’s regime than the one sitting across the East China Sea from Shanghai.

Japan is China's principal strategic rival in the Western Pacific: the two compete for military dominance in the East and South China Seas, for economic influence across Southeast Asia, for secure energy supply chains, and for the allegiance of every mid-sized Pacific power now deciding whether its future runs through Washington or Beijing.

The gains Operation Epic Fury delivered to Tokyo are structural and extend across every dimension of that rivalry.

Iran is the world's most sophisticated laboratory for circumventing Western financial enforcement, and the networks it built had dual-use value for Beijing's own contingency planning in a Taiwan scenario where China itself could face comprehensive sanctions. The operational knowledge embedded in those networks is now degrading in real time. For Japanese defense planners, who have long worried that Western economic leverage over China might prove insufficient in a Taiwan crisis, the destruction of Beijing's most advanced sanctions-evasion rehearsal space is a strategic gain of the first order.

The Five Nations Railway connecting China to Iran through Central Asia depended on political stability that no longer exists. Every month that corridor remains inoperable is another month the Malacca Strait retains its strategic centrality, and another month Japan's geographic position astride the Western Pacific sea lanes appreciates in value.

Dan Hoffman: Putin wouldn’t end the war if Ukraine gave Russia territorial concessions.

We might see a tactical pause, but Putin would continue to pursue his strategic objective to overthrow the democratically-elected government and install a puppet regime. 1/

Hoffman: If Ukraine were forced to give up that territory, it would put Zelenskyy in an incredibly weak position and compromise all of Ukraine's military leadership.

That's exactly what Putin wants: to create internal instability inside Ukraine and take advantage of that. 2/

Hoffman: The Biden administration, US intelligence accurately forecasted Russia's invasion, but our policy was to send a plane to exfiltrate Zelenskyy.

Zelenskyy bravely said, no, I don't need a plane, I need ammunition because the fight is here in Ukraine. 3/

In light of today's joint U.S.-Israel operation against Iran, which demonstrates the depth of strategic coordination between the two nations, here is a thread highlighting other significant achievements that have emerged from this longstanding alliance. These collaborations span defense, technology, medicine, and beyond, yielding tangible benefits for both countries and the world. 1/6

The Iron Dome missile defense system, developed through joint U.S.-Israel efforts with substantial American funding and Israeli engineering, has intercepted thousands of incoming rockets and saved countless civilian lives. This multilayered defense architecture continues to evolve, enhancing security against short-range threats and serving as a model for allied nations. 2/6

Cybersecurity advancements have been a cornerstone of the partnership. Israeli firms, supported by U.S. investment and collaboration, have produced leading solutions that protect critical infrastructure globally. Joint efforts in countering cyber threats from state actors have strengthened defenses for governments, financial systems, and private sectors in both nations. 3/6

If your iPhone battery is draining faster than ever, you don’t need a new phone first. You need new settings.

Here’s how to FIX poor battery life in 7 steps ↓

1. See what is actually draining your battery:

Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging → Battery Usage

Check:

• Which apps use the most battery in the last 24 hours / 10 days

• The “Background Activity” under each app name

If Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Maps show heavy Background Activity, they’re draining your battery even when you’re not using them. Turn off background refresh for these apps (next step).

2. Remove unnecessary background refresh:

• Go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh → Background App Refresh → Off (or choose Wi-Fi instead of Wi-Fi & Mobile Data)

• Then disable it for:

• Social apps (IG, TikTok, FB, X)
Shopping apps

• Random apps you almost never open

They don’t need to run 24/7. Your battery life will instantly improve.

Did America Bomb A School in Iran?
Here's everything we know so far.🧵

Iranian state media claimed dozens of girls were killed at a school in Minab, death tolls were circulated, and Western outlets repeated the story before any independent verification.

Here’s what we know: the school was located inside an IRGC compound. Over the past year, the regime has embedded weapons and personnel inside civilian sites, prompting Iranians themselves to warn one another about schools and hospitals being used for military purposes.

I criticized Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei a thousand times. He was oppressing his own people and preventing democracy. But there’s one thing you can’t take away from him, he died on his own two feet, instead of kneeling to Israel. That took courage. He didn’t bow.

Let me be clear, I’m assuming the US government isn’t lying about his death, because that would be an awfully dumb lie if it turns out he’s alive. But maybe they are that dumb, but that would break a new record. Iran has not confirmed it.

Two things can be true at the same time. Someone can be a terrible person and they can still choose to die like a man instead of living as a coward groveling to a foreign government. A lot of our leaders have chosen the groveling route. And that’s the thing I can’t stand.

Big Pharma vs Big Wellness…..

1/ Everyone loves criticizing “Big Pharma.”

But almost no one applies the same skepticism to “Big Wellness.”

If profit motives invalidate one industry’s claims…

Why don’t they invalidate the other’s?

2/ We’re told:

• Follow the money
• Demand gold-standard evidence
• Question conflicts of interest

Fair.

So why does that standard disappear when the label says “natural”?
