In a couple of years, we'll be able to make a chart like this Israeli one, only instead of an actual physical wall it will just be TRUMP in big capital letters (though Trump should also build an actual physical wall to stop future admins from reneging). Image
Trump proving once again, like Orban, Eisenhower, and Abbot, that stopping illegal immigration is actually really easy and any government that doesn't is a traitor. Image

the $30k/mo guy sends 5,000 emails a day

the broke guy sends 200

the copy is identical

same templates, same subject lines, same follow ups

so what separates them

i spent a week studying both types

the broke guy:

• sends 200 emails and waits to "see if it works"
• tweaks his copy after 3 days of no replies
• reads another course to find the "missing piece"
• tells himself the market is saturated
• blames deliverability
• blames the economy
• blames his niche

the $30k/mo guy:

• sends 5,000 before looking at results
• doesnt touch copy for 30 days minimum
• has no idea what "framework" hes using
• doesnt read twitter threads about cold email
• just fucking sends more

completely different relationship with rejection

the broke guy treats every send like a lottery ticket

"maybe this one will change everything"

gets emotional when it doesnt

the $30k/mo guy treats sends like breathing

something that happens every day regardless of feelings

one is gambling
one is farming

nobody wants to hear this

easier to believe theres a secret template
a magic subject line
a "pattern interrupt" you havent found yet

there isnt

just volume and emotional detachment

the $30k/mo version of you isnt waiting for better copy

hes waiting for you to stop being precious about getting ignored

thats the whole game

“Modern warfare has completely shifted from the visual plane to the thermal one.

Everyone says Venezuela is about oil, gold, and rare earths

But the math doesn't math. Each burns billions for America and goes nowhere fast

Instead, the true White House strategy seems far more novel. They aren't lying—but it's also not what you think 👇🧵 Image
2/ To understand this better first let's delve into each resource.

To monetize a resource you need: verified geology → secure sites → power/logistics → enforceable contracts → processing/export routes → years of capex.

Venezuela fails that chain across almost everything.
The Venezuela “oil grab” story fails on economics.

Orinoco crude is extra-heavy, closer to oil sands than shale: high lifting costs, diluent blending, specialized refineries. A real ramp to 2–3M bpd needs $100–150B and 5–7 years.

That’s not "loot," more like a capital sink.

Trump + Q Complementary Decoding
1.
One of the most consistent things I show is how fictional media coordinates non-fictional history as it unfolds.

The larger the "real" event the more likely it has popular symbolic fictional counterparts coordinating it.
2.
While I say "real" with quotations to highlight the question of how real anything can be when it progresses according to a script, that's not the same as it not being real entirely...
3.
It might be more fitting to view it as guide rails rather than outright fake but that's not a perfect description either.

Typically (but not always) the major sides at the top have already decided on what will happen. It is a "movie" as Q often likened it to. Image

You’ve been lied to about weight loss.

Cardio is a stupid way to lose fat.

It barely burns any calories, makes you hungrier, and leads to overeating.

Let me share a science-backed system to drop 20 pounds of fat before summer (without ever stepping on a treadmill): 🧵 Image
People often think of cardio as the go-to fat loss tool.

Unfortunately, most studies show it’s not effective long-term.

The first issue: It doesn’t burn that many calories.

A 30-minute run burns around 250-350 calories—and that’s ONE cookie.

But the real problem is this:
Doing cardio post-workout tends to increase people’s appetites.

Even if you burn a few hundred calories, you might end up eating more without noticing.

Here’s the truth if you want to lose weight 👇

🚨 LA "REVOLUCIÓN EN IRÁN (Explicación para incautos)🧵Ya el año pasado, tras el fracaso de la guerra de los 12 días, estaba claro lo que iba a hacer Israel: Intentar derrocar el gobierno iraní desde dentro. Y d hecho al poco tiempo empezó a salir Pahlevi junior, así d la nada ⬇
(2) (q ya nadie se acordaba de él) postulándose como la mejor opción para restaurar la democracia en Irán (🤣). Cabe subrayar q a Pahlevi solo lo apoyan 4 monárquicos en la diáspora; en Irán recuerdan muy bien lo que fue el régimen del Sha y quien lo puso y nadie quiere volver ⬇
(3) a aquello. Y también cabe recordar la unión q mostró el pueblo iraní en respuesta a los ataques israelíes: hasta la oposición hizo piña con el gobierno, incluso las feministas sostuvieron a Jamenei. Israel no puede enfrentarse a Irán solo, necesita a EEUU. Irán es un pais ⬇

Turkiye 🇹🇷, Chad 🇹🇩, UAE 🇦🇪, Kenya 🇰🇪, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦... who supports who in the Sudan war ?

The Sudan 🇸🇩 war opposing SAF and RSF is no longer a local war for power but rather a regional confrontation between multiple countries.

🧵THREAD🧵1/24 ⬇️Image
Disclaimer : mapping which country supports the RSF and FSR does not mean everything is correct. Russia and Ukraine are not allied, Ethiopia is closed to Turkiye and Saudi Arabia and multiple countries are barely involved or neutral so I kept them in white.

The borders you can see is not the recognized border map but the actual control lines. In black stands djihadist groups, in green SAF allies and in red RSF allies.

Feel free to give me informations on the countries that I mapped as "neutral".Image
Countries supporting the Sudanese Armed Forces :

The SAF was during a long time without serious allies, but the situation recently changed after they liberated the capital Kharoum.

Here, we'll see the main SAF allies and foreign proxies : Image

🔴 🧵 Dispatch of the last few days from inside Iran.

Please read and share. This is a detailed ground report from Tehran and Karaj.

1/3

"
I am inside Iran.

I write this from a connection so weak it feels like breathing through a cracked wall. I am an IT expert, and it still took me three days to build a slow, unstable link. Most of my friends have nothing. No messages. Not even calls during the night. Absolutely no internet connection at all.

This is only a fraction of what happened across these nights. Even if an all seeing AI tried to translate every second into words, the result would be hundreds of pages, at least 300, because the whole country was fighting in the dark at the same time.

This is my diary of January 8 through January 10. It is built from what I witnessed and what trusted friends and family relayed to me through offline means and brief signal windows during the blackout. I am not guessing. I am recording.

Thursday, January 8, 2026

The call was for 8 pm. People started chanting before 4 pm.

By 6 pm the digital blackout began to clamp down. Connections dropped, returned, dropped again. I kept mine alive by switching through layered VPN methods. Most people could not. One by one, the city went silent online while getting louder in the streets.

By 8 pm, Tehran and Karaj were packed wall to wall. Protests do not look like that. This was the streets being taken back. We have not seen numbers or nerve like this in 2009, 2022, or November 2019.

From 8 pm to 11 pm, the streets were fire. Clashes with regime forces. People defending each other. Around 9 pm, in some areas, they moved to live rounds. People were shot.

Tehran, Haft Hoz, Narmak, Tehranpars

A friend in Narmak described a crowd that still sounds unreal. Elderly women and men. Youth. Children. Every kind of Iranian. It was not one group. It was the country in one place.

At about 7:10 pm, they saw roughly ten to twenty uniformed forces near the metro. Later, the uniforms faded. The plainclothes multiplied inside the crowd.

Before the main gathering fully peaked, my friends tried to use the restroom. They entered through the parking entrance of a commercial complex. The moment they stepped inside, the chant hit the building. Long live the Shah. Immediate. Then tear gas was released inside the mall. Panic. People rushing for any exit.

They took an elevator down to reach the restrooms. Suddenly people ran in telling them to get out now because the doors were going to be shut and they would be trapped and jailed inside. They ran out and hit a flood of people in the street. They stayed with the chant and moved toward the larger crowd.

Tear gas kept landing in the middle of people. Over and over. In one hour alone, more than twenty to thirty canisters were fired. One detail matters. The friend reporting this was near the back end of the crowd, and the crowd stretched for about a kilometer. From where they stood, it did not make sense for the gas to be coming from the direction of the Haft Hoz police station. Some canisters seemed to come from within the crowd or from above, from rooftops or higher points. That kind of attack makes you doubt everyone around you.

Over roughly four hours, that friend says they stopped seeing uniformed forces entirely. What they saw instead was plainclothes agents everywhere, breaking groups apart with speed and ease.

People fought back the way unarmed crowds can. They pulled down signs. They smashed surveillance cameras. They kept moving. The crowd did not shrink. It grew.

By around 10:30 to 11 pm, regime forces started dispersing the crowd again and again at intersections. The mass broke into smaller clusters. People got scared. Many started to leave.

But from the front came a different report. People were saying groups were moving toward the Haft Hoz police station to storm it. Then came shootings. My friend reported people were hit, including someone shot right next to their friend.
2/3

"Near the metro, they reported people setting a police car on fire. At an intersection, they reported people burning street fixtures, including bus stop infrastructure.

Another detail matters because it shows how the regime uses rumors as a weapon. People kept warning that Basij and plainclothes were waiting at squares and corners. My friends could not move toward their car because they feared they would be grabbed. Later, they realized many warnings were part of the fog itself. In some places, there was nobody there.

Tehran, other districts reported to me that night

Yousef Abad had a major regime base in the neighborhood. People still held position all night under fire. At least three deaths were reported to me from that area.

Sadeghiyeh was worse. A friend reported at least eight shot dead. More than two hundred people went home with severe injuries. At least half were described as serious enough to need hospital care. Even with that, the crowd held until regime forces backed down. Then people held the area through the night.

Ekbatan took repeated waves and shootings. Regime forces still failed to disperse the crowd. They withdrew.

Karaj, where the night turned sharper

Mehrshahr saw direct fire into the front rows once forces realized they could not break the crowd. The intent was to kill and injure the first line so the rest would scatter. Deaths and injuries were reported.

Golshahr escalated step by step. First warning shots. Then grenades and heavy tear gas. When that failed, live fire. People still held the streets and did not go home until around 2 am.

Gohardasht had one detail that says everything about how they treat civilians. A car that was only honking was hit by direct rifle fire, described as AK47.

That was Thursday. Through it all, the blackout kept thickening. I stayed connected through layered workarounds. Most of my contacts went dark. The rest reached me through offline relays and tiny signal windows. Every update felt like a note passed through a prison wall.

Friday, January 9, 2026

Tehranpars again. The second night was not smaller. It was more violent and more tactical.

My friends reported around twenty to thirty motorbike units arriving. They hit crowds with gunfire and grenades like it was routine. The pattern repeated. People scattered. People regrouped. People returned.

One moment sticks out. During a hard charge, a friend looked right and saw guns aimed directly at them. The shooters fired above heads into doors, walls, and buildings. It was not harmless. Debris and fragments hit people in the head and body.

They took refuge inside a home because continuing to run meant being caught. In their words, it felt like a shoot to kill posture, not crowd control.

When the engine noise finally faded, they went back out toward Seyedol Shohada Square. They saw a large crowd still moving. Still present. Still flowing toward Flakeh Aval. The regime did not get to decide when the night ended.

Karaj, Golshahr, Friday night

Golshahr became sustained street control. People effectively closed streets and pushed regime forces back for five straight hours.

Around 11:30 pm, my network reported a huge explosion sound described as coming from above. Minutes later the sky turned orange.

They reported the Shahrdari building on Hadadi Street burning. Flames shifting colors. Red. Orange. Blue. Even green at one point. The building was described as destroyed. At least two people were reportedly shot, based on eyewitness accounts from my friends.

Saturday, January 10, 2026

Tehran, Saadat Abad and Sattar Khan. The surge was bigger than expected. The crackdown was harsher than expected. The crowd still did not fold.

At least eleven deaths were reported in my network across those areas that night. There were also reports of casualties on the regime side, but we do not have a reliable count."
3/3

"What stayed consistent across all three nights

The regime climbed the same ladder everywhere. Warning shots. Tear gas. Grenades. Live fire.

Motorbike strike units were used for fast intimidation and dispersal. Plainclothes agents operated inside crowds, creating fear, confusion, and sudden fragmentation. In at least one place, the front rows were targeted directly to force retreat.

And still people held ground. They regrouped. They came back. Again and again.

Lion and Sun flags were visible in the open. Drafsh Kaviani flags were visible too. The street was not only angry. It was declaring identity.

The chants were not random. They were directional. They said what we reject and what we are moving toward.

Iran shode amade, farman bede Shahzadeh
Iran is ready, give the order, Prince

In akharin nabarde, Pahlavi barmigarde
This is the final battle, Pahlavi returns

Javid Shah
Long live the Shah

Jomhouri Eslami nemikhaym
We do not want the Islamic Republic

Marg bar dictator
Death to the dictator

Marg bar Khamenei
Death to Khamenei

Khamenei ghatel e, hokoomatesh batel e
Khamenei is a killer, his rule is illegitimate

Emsal saal, khune Seyed Ali sarangoone
This year is the year Seyed Ali’s house falls

Zooze bekesh Mooshali, dare miad Pahlavi
Howl, Moosh Ali, Pahlavi is coming

And another line I kept hearing in different forms, the simplest one
Do not be afraid, we are together

The blackout became its own battlefield. Internet blackout everywhere. Phone lines cut during call out hours. No normal text messages for ordinary people. Rare access only through Starlink or complicated, slow workarounds. This is how they try to shoot in the dark, isolate neighborhoods from each other, and keep the world blind.

But even blind, the nation moves.

This does not feel like scattered protest. It feels like repeated attempts to take and hold streets, with people returning after each dispersal and staying late into the night in multiple districts.

And something else keeps showing through the cracks. Stress inside their forces. Fear. Confusion. Less willingness to fight for the terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran in many places. You can feel it in how fast they reach for bullets, and how often they still fail to fully clear the streets.

Final note

Iran will be free because we are willing to pay whatever it costs. We are not going home, because going home is just a slower death, more decay, more silence.

We are putting our lives on the line for a tomorrow that belongs to all of us. One nation. One flag. One leader. Together, we are the revolution. And we are coming for them.

🇮🇷 "
