Debunking the most common anti-Israel and anti-Jewish lies with facts.

There is no shortage of outrage online about Israel. What there is a shortage of is factual accuracy. Let’s line up the most common claims and knock them down with evidence, a thread:🧵 1. “Israel is committing genocide.”

Genocide is a legal term, not a slogan to be used as a club to bash anyone you disagree with. Under international law, it requires specific intent to destroy a people as such.

No international court has ruled that Israel is committing genocide.

Civilian deaths alone—even at scale—do not meet the legal threshold without demonstrable intent. Israel has repeatedly stated its objective is the destruction of Hamas, not Palestinians, and continues to facilitate humanitarian aid and evacuation warnings during combat operations (despite the lies and obvious attempts of Hamas to stop it).

If Israel intended genocide, Gaza would not still exist after decades of overwhelming military superiority.

Qatar's Quiet Makeover: How Doha's Dollars Infiltrated Conservative Media, a thread: 🧵 Image I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw Tucker Carlson fawning over Qatar’s prime minister on his show earlier this year. Carlson, a previous icon of America First conservatism, suddenly praising a tiny Gulf emirate known for its ties to Hamas?

What gives?

As it turns out, if you follow the money (all hundreds of millions of it), things start making sense. Over the past five years, Qatar has poured an eye popping amount of cash into U.S. influence operations, greasing media outlets, cozying up to politicians, and subtly shifting narratives in its favor. The result? A strange new MAGA world where some conservative voices sound more pro-Doha and anti-Israel than anyone would’ve imagined a few years ago.

There have always been anti-Semites, of course. This is not a new thing. But, you have to admit, their noisiness has grown in the last five years.

And… they’ve attached a few big names to their cause.Image

An Address to Warriors: The Importance of Secretary Hegseth’s Speech at Quantico, a thread 🧵Image The Days of Warfighting Mediocrity Are Over

The speech the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, gave yesterday was one of the most important speeches I have witnessed in my lifetime.

It was important because it was powerful, meaningful, and true.

It was powerful because it reestablished the importance of merit and competence in our fighting force, for the enemy does not care about diversity nor inclusion, it cares only about defeating us.

It was meaningful because it highlighted the idiocrasy of the past decade or so in our country where we pretended that men could become women, that race, gender, or sexual preference was more important than capability and intelligence, and that the Department of War was a place for activism.

It was true because truth is not relative, as actual truth is based on verifiable fact, and everything that he said it both verifiable and factual, regardless of what the opposition may say in their fury.

The reality is that evil people in this world want to harm us, want to cripple us, and want to destroy us. This isn’t a talking point. This is life or death every single day, especially for the members of our military.

This speech matters because it made one thing clear: the mission of the Department of War is not to promote ideology—it is to win wars.

How Europe’s failed monarchies & revolutions after WWI paved the way for fascism and WWII, a thread 🧵 Image After WW1, Europe’s old monarchies lay in ruins. The German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian, and Ottoman empires were all gone. What took their place? Fragile democracies and revolutionary movements. Most of these were collectivist in nature, promising salvation through “the group” rather than the individual.Image

We call it the Department of Defense. Sounds nice. Defensive. Harmless.

But here’s the truth: words matter. Messaging matters. And that name? It muddies what the department actually does and why. 🧵 Image From 1789 to 1947, it was called the Department of War. That wasn’t a mistake. It was clarity. It told the American people (and the world) that the US took war seriously, not as an afterthought, but as the ultimate tool to secure peace. Image

Think you know the most brilliant American battle in WWII?

I’ll give you a hint, it’s not Yorktown, and it’s not Normandy.

It’s Midway (June 1942).

Why? Because the US Navy pulled off the biggest “gotcha” ambush in history, flipped the Pacific War, and did it with math nerds, brave pilots, and one five minute miracle. 🧵 #WWIIImage Six months after Pearl Harbor, Japan looked unstoppable. Their plan: hit Midway Island, lure US carriers out, ambush, and profit.

Translation: “Come here America, let’s finish you off.”

They had no idea we had read their mail. Image

Populism is the ultimate costume party. It can drape itself in flags, faith, or “freedom” and still march the crowd straight into collectivism. Today we call it the “woke right.” History has seen this trick before. Oh yes, many, many times before. 🧵 Image The so called “woke right” screams about defending liberty, yet in practice it mirrors the same collectivist habits as the woke left: moral policing, punishing dissent, elevating group identity over individual freedom.

Lt. Col. (R) Tony Aguilar is not only a liar, but he is also an unhinged, incompetent narcissist, and I can prove it.

Buckle up, because this thread includes receipts that proves Tony was fired for cause, begged for his job back, resorted to threats when he was denied, and ultimately made up a story to get back at his previous employer and gain personal fame and notoriety. He even forged an official document that he then sent to the press.Image Let's start with a bit about Tony's background in the Army, a career that looks fine on paper, but has some striking red flags that those that understand the Special Forces community will immediately recognize.

Tony boasts that he "commanded from the Platoon level to the Battalion level," in an email I will share later, but what he fails to disclose is that none of those commands were in Special Forces. His only Special Forces command was as a CPT on an ODA. His subsequent commands were at SWCS (a training group) and 18th Airborne, respectively.

For those of you unaware, if a Special Forces officer is not chosen to command in Special Forces at the Company and then Battalion level, then they were passed over for a reason. The scraps are commanding a non Special Forces unit (unless you were picked to command at JSOC or some other SMU, which is entirely different), and it is a clear sign that this officer was not fit for command in the regiment.

After his 18th Airborne command (yes, it is telling for a SF officer to command in a regular army unit), he found himself returning to SWCS as a staff officer miles away from the thought of a command billet. He then floundered there doing nothing of value for a few years before finally being forced out because of the inability to continue moving up in rank.

Lt. Col. (R) Tony Aguilar was fired from his position while on a contract in Israel because he is everything GBs and the SF regiment as a whole despise, which is why he sold this nonsense video to the BBC.

Notice he offers zero proof of Israeli soldiers doing anything wrong.

He is a liar. His reputation had always been trash. While he was Active Duty, he ended his career in non-operational roles because operational units refused to touch him.

He is a perfect example of a worthless and out of touch officer.

He was despised when he was in group. He was despised in the PMC world. He was one of the few that slipped through the cracks and made it into the regiment despite being a phenomenal piece of shit.

His reputation was horrible before this, but now he is blacklisted from every SF and SOF organization in existence. Hope they paid you well, Tony, because your ass is persona non grata. I know Tony. I know many, many people that know Tony. I know that they will all agree with my assessment of both his reputation and character.

He is persona non grata in the SF community no. No PMC, corporation with military contracts, or non profit will ever work with him again.

The Evolution of Global Asymmetric Warfare (2010-2025), A DIMEFIL Analysis by Region thread: Image Introduction:

We live in a multidimensional threat environment unlike anything mankind has ever witnessed.

The battlefield has transformed dramatically over the last fifteen years, yet most remain unaware of this seismic shift. The days of all out conventional style war are not necessarily behind us, as any conflict has the potential to go kinetic, but the current battlefield has grown to an all-encompassing, whole of government, and strategic level concept that primarily utilizes asymmetric warfare to navigate the international intricacies involved.

The existence of asymmetric warfare is not necessarily a new thing. Aspects of it have been used effectively throughout history, including in our own revolution. Colonial forces used guerrilla warfare, psychological operations, and international diplomacy to erode British political and military will through attrition and alliances.

In lieu of tank battles and formal conventional military invasions, the world has seen cyber-attacks, proxy forces, influence campaigns, economic coercion, illicit finance, legal warfare, and espionage become the proverbial weapons of choice. Using these methods blurs the lines between war and peace and allows aggressors to operate in otherwise “gray zones,” below the thresholds required for open war while still accomplishing strategic objectives (Center for Strategic and International Studies).

This new all-encompassing asymmetric warfare is not solely fought on traditional battlefields, but occurs across political processes, economic systems, digital platforms, and civil society, meaning to break down the situation we need to use a process that can account for every aspect of modern life.

This requires a modified Joint Planning Process.

The Joint Planning Process (JPP) recognizes Diplomatic, Informational, Military, Economic, Financial, Intelligence, and Law Enforcement (DIMEFIL) as the core instruments of national power for any country or region (Joint Publication 5-0). Both state and non-state actors have leveraged this spectrum to exploit their adversaries’ weaknesses and ultimately expand their own influence.

This breakdown provides a comprehensive, region by region review of how each element of DIMEFIL has been employed in asymmetric conflicts over the last fifteen years, with a special emphasis on the impact that the COVID-19 had on these strategies. These data trends will be presented alongside concrete examples from military and policy research to illustrate the evolution of global asymmetric warfare.

I would like to warn you; this is a proper regional deep dive into this subject…meaning it is much longer than a five-minute read.

Let’s dive in!Image

The War for America, it will not unfold like you think it will... Image The United States of America is divided, perhaps more so now than it has ever been. What does this mean for those of us just trying to live our lives?

It means we should be ready, always.

The notion of a Civil War enveloping the United States has been tossed around for the last decade or so due to extreme polarization of each side. This potential eventuality is not out of the realm of possibilities, but the reality of how it would unfold is not necessarily what most people would think.

When you think civil war, you think about two sides fighting over their view of what the government or country should look like. You see uniforms. You see clearly defined militaries fighting conventional battles. You see it this way because that is how it was in 1861-1865.Image

The Afghanistan Saga - Part One: An Introduction & Breakdown of the Initial Invasion by the CIA's Team Jawbreaker and US Army Special Forces (Green Berets) up to Operation Anaconda. A thread 🧵: Image Before we get started, I wanted to highlight that this will be the first thread that I have done that will have a more detailed write up posted on Substack, which can be found in the link below. If you enjoy this thread but want to go a bit more in depth, please check out my Substack and subscribe to support more of this type of work.

I also want it understood that some of the infromation has academic sources to back it up, other information is from personal relationships and information gathered from non-attributable sources. This is simply the nature of information in this business. This is also for the percentage of the population that does not do deep research on these topics, and that does not necessarily read military history on the regular, as much of the information in this thread is known information.

The story gets juicier as the saga moves on, especially once we move closer to the withdrawal, but most of what happened over twenty years ago is relatively well documented information.

Powerful people worked very hard for these things to happen in a manner that would obfuscate not only their involvement, but also lead them to their end goals of wealth and power.

This thread dives into that.

Thanks for the support!
