ENDING FOREIGN DEPENDENCE ✈️
Right now, nearly 85% of India’s engine maintenance happens abroad.
This means billions leaving the country.
Building domestic MRO capability could save $15 billion over the next decade.

A menudo se repite que el Imperio español vivió sitiado por enemigos poderosos, y es cierto. Pero esa es sólo una parte de la historia. España no fue un gigante a la defensiva, sino una potencia capaz de escoger el lugar del combate y de golpear antes. Esto merece un hilo: 🧵👇
Durante siglos, la Monarquía Hispánica no se limitó a aguantar embestidas, porque también intervino, desbordó, infiltró, saboteó y explotó las fisuras de sus rivales. No era un Imperio a la defensiva, sino un Estado que entendía que la hegemonía se mantiene actuando.
Francia lo aprendió pronto. En 1524 Lannoy entró en Marsella; en 1597 los españoles tomaron Amiens en una operación fulminante; y en 1636 un ejército hispánico alcanzó Corbie, a un paso de París. Francia vio que España podía llamar a su puerta si se lo proponía.
A new investigation by Amnesty Intl on Intellexa reveals that the israeli cyber company has been utilizing a remote window on it's Predator spyware to access all the logs of its customers. Allowing Intellexa to view surveillance operations and targets of foreign governments.
To be clear, Intellexa isn't technically based in israel, but that's on purpose. Intellexa is a consortium of dozens of companies all over the globe, founded by israeli spies, including a man sanctioned by the US treasury.
Intellexa's Pegasus clone (Predator) has been sold globally with some of its largest customers being Egypt & Greece. Their forensics team has uncovered evidence of Predator being used in Pakistan this year. Amnesty is working on a new report on abuses they recently uncovered in Africa.

Madras Presidency, Govt Jobs & the Brahmin-Vilification narrative!

Everyone loves to repeat: “Brahmins dominated the British government.”
Nobody ever asks:
- How many people actually worked for the British in Madras Presidency & who were they?

Madras Presidency population (1911): ~38 million
Caste composition: (as per Dravidian ideologues)
- Brahmins: ~3.2% → ~12 lakh
- Non-Brahmins: ~96.8% → ~36 million
This is the denominator.
Now let’s see the numerator - government jobs.

The British bureaucracy was TINY.
Across administration, judiciary, police & education, the total number of formal jobs was only:
~50,000 posts. Not lakhs. Not millions. Just 50k.
That’s the entire pie every anti-Brahmin is shouting about.

Just days after Prof Francis Boyle agreed to testify against Bill Gates & Albert Bourla over the deadly COVID mRNA shots...he was FOUND DEAD.
Boyle authored the US Bioweapons Act & called the mRNA injections 'Bioweapons & Franken-Shots.'
Where does the Pentagon fit into this?...
Just when you thought you’d heard it all, this resurfaced interview with Prof. Francis Boyle—the man who literally WROTE the 1989 Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act—will leave you speechless.
He states on record that both SARS-CoV-2 and the mRNA injections were DARPA-funded offensive bioweapons programs from the start. Gain-of-function? That was the cover story.
According to Boyle, the real goal was always “lethal yet vaccinate-able” population reduction tech. And yes, he names names: UNC, Wuhan, Fauci, Daszak, Baric…the whole club.
He goes further—calls the shots “synthetic biological weapons of mass destruction” because they trigger autoimmune carnage, prion-like misfolding & turbo cancers.
Boyle filed lawsuits, begged Congress & warned the world. Just 20 days after agreeing to testify for the prosecution, he was found dead. The same pattern we’ve seen with dozens of doctors & whistleblowers since 2020. Pure coincidence?
If a man who drafted the actual law defining bioweapons says we just lived through the biggest biowarfare attack in history…why isn’t every news channel screaming this from the rooftops?
The most chilling part? Boyle predicted exactly what we’re seeing now: myocarditis, strokes, infertility & cancers exploding in the injected.
He said the spike protein itself is the weapon & the lipid nanoparticles were engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier. This wasn’t a mistake. It was a military-grade kill vector dressed up as “public health.”
So here’s the question that keeps me up at night: Who gave the order? Who profits the most? And when do the Nuremberg-style trials begin?

Sauna is one of the most effective health protocols I've done. Here is everything I've learned; it's the most robust characterization ever produced.
Results:
1) Fifteen sessions of sauna dramatically reduced environmental toxins in my body:
+ 65% drop in 2,4-D
+ 100% drop in MEP
+ 15% drop in MBP
+ 100% drop in MEHP (undetectable post sauna)
+ 56% drop in NAPR
+ 56% drop in HEMA
+ 100% drop in Perchlorate (undetectable post sauna)
2. Sauna eliminated 85% of microplastics from my ejaculate.
Nov 2024:
165 particles/mL
July 2025: 20 particles/mL
Nearly identical drop in my blood same time period:
Oct 2024: 70 particles/mL
May 2025: 10 particles/mL
3. Sauna, without ice on the boys, devastated my fertility markers.
Total Motile Count: –56%
Concentration: –30%
Motility: –50%
Morphology: –48%
Count: –9%
4. Sauna coincided with my fertility markers being at an all-time high. I have more total and motile sperm than 99.6% of men of any age, including men under 25.
+ total count: 600 M
+ concentration: 162 M
+ motility: 55%
+ total motile count: 330M
+ morphology (normal): 10%
We do not know what to make of these improvements. Was it the sauna? Sauna + ice? Ice only? We don't know but we did not identify any other protocols or lifestyle changes during this interval that would plausibly account for the change.
5. My vascular function improved by a ten year reduction in age. Now I have the vascular age of an elite 18-early 20s.
+ Central Systolic Blood Pressure: 96 mmHg
+ Central Pulse Pressure: 20 mmHg
+ Pulse Pressure Amplification: 160%
+ SEVR: 227%
+ Augmentation Pressure: 1 mmHg
+ Augmentation Index Wave: 3%
+ Traditional blood pressure: 107/75 mmHg
6. What type of sauna?
Use a dry sauna with high temperatures between 80-100°C (176 to 212°F) and 5-20% relative air humidity. Aim for the lower end of this spectrum, especially as a beginner. Higher temperatures closer to the boiling point can cause side effects like headaches and severely dried nose and eyes.
Note: Steam baths, hot tubs, and infrared saunas fail to replicate the same effects because they do not allow you to safely reach the required high temperatures and do not induce the same level of sweating, the necessary inverted (skin-to-core) temperature gradient, and the massive re-direction of blood to the skin with resulting vasodilation.
Dry sauna is unique, and very likely superior to wet (steam bath) and infrared saunas. By heating up your skin way faster than your core, dry hot sauna flips your core skin temperature gradient, eliciting the following hormetic benefits:
+ enhanced blood flow: the heart pumps up to 70% more blood, similar to intense aerobic exercise (zone 2-+ increased sweating for detoxification: to maintain a stable core temperature, the skin produces 0.6-1 liter of sweat per hour, facilitating significant detoxification.
+ improved heat tolerance: the body becomes better at handling heat, leading to a lower core body temperature (offering metabolic advantages)
+ safe activation of heat shock proteins: the skin experiences substantial heat shock protein activation, while a modest 1°C increase in core temperature is sufficient to activate these proteins without the risk of hyperthermia.
+ extended Exposure at higher temperatures: dry saunas are more tolerable for longer durations and at higher temperatures, maximizing the benefits.
7. Sauna protocol and frequency
Type: hot dry sauna
Temperature: 176–212°F ( I do 200°F)
Relative air humidity: very low, 5-20%
Duration: 20 min
Frequency: 4–7x a week
8. Heat Protection
If you'd like, you can protect your head from the heat by wearing a sauna hat or wrapping it with a towel (use only cotton or other 100% natural material). You can breathe through a towel or cloth if needed to protect your nose. I am personally fine not doing this.
Most importantly, ice the balls.
Icing the testicles is absolutely required to prevent heat from damaging fertility markers.
+ Ice the testes during the sauna session.
+ Use a non-toxic, reusable ice pack material.
+ Wear cotton boxers and shorts.
+ Place ice packs in between the boxers and shorts.
+ Keep them in place for the entire session.
Men should care about preserving fertility markers even when they are not trying to conceive. Sperm quality is tightly coupled to testicular function, which governs testosterone production, metabolic health, and long term endocrine stability. When fertility parameters decline, the same upstream dysfunction often drives lower testosterone, higher inflammation, and increased cardiometabolic risk.
9. Hydration
Dry sauna induces sweating as part of its beneficial mechanism. Be sure to hydrate properly. In general, you might need to rehydrate with up to 16–32 oz (0.5–1 L) of fluid after a sauna session. Be sure to add electrolytes.
If you want to be precise, measure your sweat amount and electrolytes (saltiness) using a patch (e.g., from Gatorade) to quantify your liquid and electrolyte loss, and rehydrate accordingly. Some people have saltier sweat than others and must ensure they replenish electrolytes as well as water.
My results: my body sweats 18 oz during a 20 min sauna at 200 °F, with a sodium concentration of 25-39 mg/oz. A single sauna session flushes 450–700 mg of sodium out of my body.

I wish you all the best in life my friend. A new era or being human is here. One where existence is the highest virtue. Prioritize sleep, daily exercise and eat well and you'll be in a strong position. Try to avoid the bad stuff. Anything that takes away your agency.
Be a warrior and caretaker of existence. Don't Die.

One thing I forgot to mention, hot dry sauna can stress the skin barrier by increasing transepidermal water loss. To mitigate this, before entering the sauna, I'll apply a layer of blueprint moisturizing cream to reduce moisture loss. Then after the sauna, I'll apply a hydrating face mask a few times a week given that I sauna 7x a week. After the hydrating face mask, I'll apply the blueprint face serum and moisturizer for continued barrier support. When I wasn’t doing this early on, my skin became noticeably drier. Since adding this routine, my skin quality has subjectively improved.
WARNING: LONG THREAD 🧵
Dear Americans,
Your political and media class has sold you a very convenient fairy tale for decades - the tale of how your tax dollars pay to defend freeloading Europe.
While it's an emotionally satisfying narrative, it's also wrong.
THE U.S. DOES NOT SUBSIDIZE EUROPEAN DEFENCE.
You are not running a charity, you are running an empire. And empires are costly.
Your forward deployments, your bases, your carrier groups, etc. - they are the pillars of a global security architecture that mainly serves you: to protect your trade routes, your currency, your corporate supply chains, your ability to project force anywhere on the planet in hours and days, not months.
Let’s walk through this like adults, and not emotional toddlers, shall we?

1. Power projection, not philanthropy
Your prosperity rests on your ability to project power -military, financial, informational.
Your ports are not overflowing with cheap goods and energy because the world thinks you’re cute or because U.S. Treasuries are sacred. You sit at the center of the system because you guarantee that system with force: sea lanes, chokepoints, sanctions, no-fly zones when it suits you.
No one forced the U.S. into that role. Washington chose it because the benefits - geopolitical leverage, economic primacy, dollar hegemony - are enormous. Stop pretending it’s some unreciprocated act of kindness toward Europe.

2. Europe is your global hub
Open a map. Then look at where your stuff is.
Europe is the logistical backbone that lets you wage war and conduct operations across Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia without having to move everything across the ocean every time.
Ramstein and the rest of the European network are not there to “protect Germany’” They are there because from European soil you can:
- Fly troops and cargo to Iraq, Syria, the Gulf, the Sahel, Afghanistan and back with minimal time loss.
- Run command-and-control, ISR, and drone operations into multiple theatres.
- Treat wounded and rotate forces efficiently because the entire infrastructure is already in place.
You could try to rebuild that from scratch inside CONUS or in less stable regions. It would cost you billions, take years, and give you worse geography. Forward basing in allied countries is, in many analyses, cheaper than constantly rotating equivalent forces from the U.S. and trying to replicate those hubs at home.
So no, you’re not “paying to defend Europe.” You’re paying for real estate that underwrites your global reach.

So no, you’re not “paying to defend Europe.” You’re paying for real estate that underwrites your global reach.
@tristanmf Surtout que X est bloqué en Russie depuis 2022.
Et pourtant au seins de cette UE, beaucoup en sont encore à faire de courbettes à Elon Musk… qui se croit alors tout permis, qui se croit roi.
Comme quoi. Faut jamais lecher le cul des (prétendus) "puissants".

@tristanmf Car… Elon Musk doit bcp à l'UE pour sa "GiGaFaCtOrY" en préférant ainsi se soumettre au tout-lithium (futur scandal environnemental), plutôt que d'investir sur notre génie & souveraineté par "Hydrogène + Pile à combustible (et donc, batterie lithium en faible quantité).

@tristanmf X/Twitter bloqué en Russie depuis 2022 : comble de la provocation (eux qui aiment accuser la France d'abuser de "censures et blocages de sites/appli"), Dmitry Medvedev comme son ami Kirill Dmitriev se connectent donc à X/Twitter via un VPN… à l'IP Française.
