This information is absolutely critical to the Iran war. Let’s do a thread! 🪡 🧵

https://twitter.com/miadmaleki/status/2048796761548865605

Even with makeshift ONSHORE storage, Iran only has enough storage space thirteen days of pumping capacity. How long has the naval blockade been in place? Per @CENTCOM no Iranian tankers or oil are making it out of the Persian Gulf. That means we are a day or two or three before storage is 100% full. That means the oil derricks shut down & irreversible damage to production begins. That means the income of IRGC permanently, or maybe indefinitely is a better word, goes zero.

Our friend Larry Schweikart has another threat he has requested I post. I don't know if he is right or wrong about the SAVE America Act Passing or not, but these are his thoughts shared here:

Will "SAVE" save us? Not likely. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it will go down to defeat. Not real defeat, mind you. It will get 51-52 senate votes (not counting J.D. Vance) but will be well short of attaining the 60 votes to kill the "silent filibuster" of the DemoKKKrats.

What about "Can't-Carry-a-Thune's" attempt to force a real, talking filibuster? Also comes up short. I do believe Thune is trying. But he is realistic, and knows he has Yertle, the vomitous MurCowSki, and the unreliable Susan "Tom" Collins to deal with, though he possibly will get Fetterman's vote.

Yes, there is a way to actually sneak it through. DemoKKKrats, in the positions were reversed, would absolutely do this. It requires keeping the majority (51) pro-SAVE senators close enough to the building that if the DemoKKKrats abandon the hall for one minute, you can, by Senate rules, VOTE!

But let's be both honest and generous. Hanging around the Senate chamber for days on end it nearly impossible for people in good health. For some of these sclerotic pleistocene era skinwalkers, even if they wanted to they couldn't physically do it. he best we will get is a parliamentary maneuver that will allow debate BEFORE the filibuster, and maybe putting these people on record with their votes.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but some of you are way, way too invested in something we don't have the votes for.

Now, I don't know if you've paid attention, but in the last three weeks the GOP has won FOUR STRAIGHT special elections, three in FL and one in VA in a deep blue district (a flip). Prior to that, leaving aside the GA debacle, the GOP had actually won 4/7 specials, for a total of 8/11. Not bad. The GA elections were terrible, but I think were one offs.

They involved 22 commissioner flips from R-D, all of them over data center power usage and energy prices. Despite the fact that I've been harping on AI for a year, the GOP wasn't ready for this. Yes, we need AI data centers. No, DemoKKKrats have no plan except to tax the public or tax the companies. The GOP response should be "Let them build all the data centers they want so long as they show in advance where they will be getting the energy and water, and that local prices won't rise."

Hi Everyone! New thread from Larry Schweikart!

Hi everyone. Harold has again been willing to forward a thread for X since I am totally off X now but can be found on Truth Social (@CyberneticsLS). Anyway, we agreed that periodically he would post a thread from me so here goes:

In my latest substack called "Full Metal Octopus" (larrys.substack.com/p/full-metal-o…) I noted that Trump has gone beyond a "transformational" president, doing stuff virtually alone (no Congress, a little help from the courts) that no other chief exec has ever done.

He has completely reoriented the Western Hemisphere, adding El Salvador, Chile, Argentina, and now Venezuela and Ecuador to our list of solid allies. In two months he took out the two biggest drug lords in this half of the world, El Mencho and Maduro. Now the Cubanos are looking over their shoulder and preparing for a Regent governor, Muy Macho Marco Rubio. But this move was strategic in more ways than one. It cut off Chy-na from key oil and rare earth minerals, especially from Venezuelan oil. Then Trump, right as he said, on schedule, took out the mullahs in Iran. Apparently now they can't even name a replacement, because said Top Dogs there have the shelf life of a British flagbearer vs. Napoleon or an open can of tuna fish. Their so-called "leaders" now don't even have control over parts of their military, promising "no more ballistic missiles" right before more launches. Nevertheless, so far, the U.S. and Israel have by all authoritative accounts REMOVED 98% of Iran's ballistic missile force and their launchers. Well done.

Prior to that in Africa, Trump had begun developing alliances with Christian enclaves and whatever Christian governments exist to crush the Muslim murder pirates there. Oh, and along the way, Trump just happened to get more deals for . . . rare earth minerals. Meaning Chy-na didn't. So he has expanded the anti-ChiCom embargo through more than half the world now.

🚨 THREAD! 🪡 🧵🧶
So, even though our friend, Larry Schweikart, has had his X account stolen, we communicate regularly & he has asked me to share a thread with you all, on his behalf. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE STATE IF THE UNION ADDRESS! Featuring analysis by Larry Schweikart!

1.
From the Real Larry Schweikart, not a hacker-spooge imposter (so you know it's me!)

First, thanks to Harold for helping out. If this works out, we may do this from time to time. As most of you know I've left X entirely for lack of any kind of support in getting my account(s) cleared. They are of no use whatsoever. Shame on Elon for allowing this.

Now, on to what is to me the real message of the State of the Union. 

This was a total buttkicking of DemoKKKrats no matter how you slice it. Early CNN polls (64% approval) and CBS (75%) show this was a home run rarely delivered by Republican presidents. Only Trump could have done this. 2. In terms of issues he absolutely nailed every single one. There is no doubt Trump made clear he is with the 80% of the people on this, and DemoKKKrats are with the crazies. 

Second, in terms of optics---well, what can I say? Ridiculous how easy the goofball Terror Party made it for him. They are so consumed by rage that it shows on their faces and in their behavior. 

I've said for some time that this realization was sinking into the public mind, and while they do NOT want to say it aloud, they are slowly coming to the conclusion that, yes, DemoKKKrats hate them and their families. Trump exposed them more than the Lakers defense, on every guest introduction from Medal of Honor recipients to the U.S. hockey team. His masterful "stand if you agree with this statement" technique pretty much buried them.

1/4. More than half the world’s oil reserves under US control. 2/4 Almost three quarters of China’s oil is imported.

Mr. President, @potus @realDonaldTrump do you remember when we were younger? The heady days of the 1980's watching the news and the images of the Red Army in Europe, the Rhetoric of Breznev, and Andropov and the fear we all felt growing up in the Shadow of the Bomb?

I am struck this evening as I walk on this October night with dog, remembering the stories my Uncle Denny told me about being a young @USArmy corporal in Europe, in the turret of an M1 Abrams in the Fulda Gap waiting for the Red Army to come for Germany and Europe, facing them down, scared for his life, every day.

While we were at home, living in the shadow of The Bomb. Back then, you were driving a Lambo, and re-inventing the skyline of New York. @RudyGiuliani was making New York City a safe place. The world was changing. First, Andropov died. Gorbachev was Ascendent.

And then the world changed.
cc @WhiteHouse @SecRubio @SecScottBessent We watched the news every day. The Menace of the Red Army across the Fulda Gap waiting to come for Germany and Europe at any moment. The nuclear saber rattling. The 1980's were a momentous time in history. The world was watching @realDonaldTrump re-invent the skyline of New York City, driving around in his @Lamborghini and flying around the world in his private jet. @RudyGiuliani cleaning up and making New York City safe. The two of you together making New York City the envy of the world.

A world away behind the Iron Curtain in a USSR we all thought was all powerful, people were starving. People waited in line for bread. People shopped at empty grocery stores. People drive tiny rustbuckets that barely ran, if they were lucky. People went to work at jobs that didnt matter, people who didnt matter. With no real life, no real hope, no real future.

And then something happened. Andropov died. Gorbachev was Ascendent.

So let’s talk about @elonmusk claims that @x is a free speech platform.

Tagging a few friends here @roncoleman & @HarmeetKDhillon for visibility.

@x @safety @support issued me a 7 day suspension for calling for justice to be served for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

For some who may not know, KSM is the Al Qaeda planner of the Sept 11th 2001 terror attacks on the United States. He’s also the former #3 of Al Qaeda

When i called for justice to be done for his part in the mass murder of almost 3,000 innocent Americans, @X @safety @support refused to even consider my appeal & denied my appeal almost immediately.

With 11 hours left they forced me out of my account & were actively denying log in.

I reached out to @support for help & was ignored. @elonmusk likes to touts @X as a ‘free speech’ platform.

He’s a liar & that claim is false. When i replied to @TPASarah about KSM, & how he should have been convicted & faced appropriate punishment, my account was flagged by & suspended by AI twitter/@x @Support @safety uses to flag & suppress & censor X users.

But its really interesting how many on the Left like the Krassenstein brothers are never targeted & silenced or censored the same way.

Or the literal THOUSANDS of leftists who doxx, make death threats to the President & conservatives, for that matter.

You see, there are two entirely separate enforcement mechanisms for the so called @x ‘terms of service’ & which enforcement mechanism you are subjected to (leanient & without repercussions or overly abusive & infringing civil liberties) depends on which side of the spectrum you are on.

Note the date on this…..Sept 2nd, 2016. BEFORE the election. This conspiracy against Trump started prior to Sept of 2016. Barack Obama was running this conspiracy more than two months before the 2016 election even happened. I could be wrong & she could be talking about FBI cover up of ‘Mid Year Exam’ the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s illegal server & illegal possession of reams of classified material. Not sure.

Days ago, we were all looking at the pictures of Al Fordow to ascertain how badly the site was damaged following the B-2 strike using MOPs (gbu-57s).

The strike was clever-- first six went went through the air shafts as evidenced by the before and after the ventilation shaft building being obliterated. Why is this important? A lot of the criticism of this strike was people doubting the GBU-57 even with repeated strikes to same impact point could make it through the mountain. Spoiler: it did. But these six made it down the ventilation shaft WITHOUT having to bore through the mountain, directly into the main hall where the centrifuges and other sensitive equipment were.

Now about the other six impacts: the GBU-57 has enough power to go through 300 feet of hardned concrete OR rock. Meaning the first three would have broken apart the mountain and made it unstable, causing the mountain over the facility to be susceptible to collapse. The second three would have punched the rest of the way through these holes and also made it into the mail hall of Al Fordow at the other end. The holes match the schematics and are at either end of the facility.

So, to sum up, nine of the twelve GBU-57 MOPs would have entered the Al Fordow main hall nearly untouched where they detonated with full force. The other three would have been used to smash and disrupt the rock overhead making a collapse likely. The overpressure from the nine would have created the conditions favorable to collapse the site from the inside.

There is subsidance (think land slide and shape changes) to the mountain near the GBU-57 aimpoints suggesting the facility did indeed collapse.

More: there is evidence of extreme fire and its aftermath in the commercial satellite after photos, shown as a grey blue ash all over the mountain coming from the GBU-57 aimpoints, and this matches numerous videos and pictures taken by locals. There is photographic and video evidence that an intense fire inside the facility burned for up to eight hours after the strike shooting fire hundreds of feet in to the air for hours.

So what was it in Al Fordow that burned so intensely? The answer is in the reports. Official word has been released here on X that the Administration and US Military is sure that the Iranian Regime had moved the HEU 60% to Al Fordow for safe keeping as they didnt believe the site could be penetrated. This is likely true, given the facility had been under Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance watchy by ISR drones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for months.

So what was it that burned?? The Highly Enriched Uranium. I checked the Material Safety Data Sheet on Uranium 235 **powder** and here is what it says:

Is Uranium 235 Flammable?
Yes, powdered uranium-235 is flammable. Uranium metal powder is autopyrophoric and can burn spontaneously at room temperature in the presence of air, oxygen, and water.4 The adiabatic flame temperature of uranium in air and oxygen are 3773 K and 4843 K, respectively.2 Additionally, uranium is highly flammable, and finely powdered uranium can literally catch fire on contact with air.

Now lets talk about Natanz. Some reports of OSINT accounts, and others like Jenn Griffin are claiming Natanz was also not struck sufficiently. Here's what we know: Natanz wasnt buried half as deep as Al Fordow. It was well within the capabilities of a single GBU-57 to penetrate and destroy. However we know for sure they used two GBU-57s on that site, and the aimpoint where it entered the underground facility is visible on commercial satellite imagery.

In short, all three facilities are 100% dead. There's no undoing what was done to them, they are a total loss. And there is strong circumstantial evidence the Highly Enriched Uranium is also gone, having been the fuel that caused the intense fire at Al Fordow.

Another tell: Israel hasnt felt the need to revisit any of those sites with aircraft other than Al Fordow for good measure. NATO is jubilant.

The middle east nations are also happy with the outcome of the strike. The reality is, if those sites survived, even just partially, there's no way the reaction across the board would be this pleased with the outcome.

The disinformation about the effectiveness of this strike is politically motivated, not supported by the data that is publicly available. Now, think about the ISR data we dont have. The reason the White House and Pentagon are speaking with such certainty is because they ARE certain. Operation Midnight Hammer was a total success. Correction: GBU-57 can defeat 200 feet of hardened concrete or rock, al Fordow is 300 feet at the second three aimpoints. Meaning the first three at those aimpoints would disrupt & destabilize the mountain there & the following three at those aimpoints made it through the mountain with minimal efforts. Nine of of the twelve GBU-57s made it inside the main hall at Al Fordow & detonated with high order detonation followed by a massive & extremely hot long burning fire that consumed the facility. This was likely fueled by a large quantity of powered 60% highly enriched uranium, which is highly flammable.

Time for a stream of consciousness post. Grab a drink & settle in if reading this. Long post unfolding.

A close friend of many years dropped by & we spent several hours talking. One topic that dominated the conversation was Europe & the war in Ukraine. My friend is formerly very left of center & was pro Trump even before me in 2016. His wife is a refugee from Cambodia. Her parents & siblings (whole family) fled the Vietnam war & the red purges. Just some background on where he’s coming from & the lens he sees through. Very empathetic guy, & very rational & level headed.

You all know my background & most of you have followed me for years. He & met in ‘06 when i started working at the same contract team on a US Army post & have been close friends ever since. Fellow Christians, but its been super interesting watching his politics evolve. He was a two time obama voter & former Cali resident. Very #maga & #maha today, & is an OG #maga. Along the way we went from him very leftwing pro obama pro gun control etc, & myself being typical normie Republican GW voter. I first was able to vote in ‘96 btw- & i viewed politics from the Clintons & scandals & democrats bad, the hate America crowd bad, etc. Very Naive to the uniparty, & very ‘our side good, their side bad’. Black & white. My friendship with this coworker extends well beyond work. We worked at three different places together & share a ton of common interests. Along the way our free form discussions have dramatically evolved both of our thinking across the spectrum on all topics.

Tonight’s talk about Europe, the war in Ukraine, economics, & history— WWI & WWII & its parallels was fascinating.

A few things that really started to come into focus for me during this discussion w/ my friend who I’ll give the pseudonym mcdonnell douglas for lack of a better/more creative name was just how incredibly relevant history is & how its in many ways trying to repeat. I feel in some ways as though we’ve all been pulled into an alternate universe through some bizarre timeslip/glitch. Operation Barbarossa happened 85 years ago. The Germans lost an estimated 8 million men on the Eartern Front. The USSR (Russia + baltics) lost an estimated 33-35 million dead.

We talked about the invasion of Russia. About how Russia has been invaded repeatedly & at great cost each time through history & what that was like & this resonated with my friend b/c of his wife’s experiences as a child.

We also talked about the profound foolishness of the European armies that rushed to war in 1914 as if it was some short lived sporting event that would be a short, decisive, cheaply won affair. Both sides did so. We know how that went.

We know how Ghenghis Khan, the Ottoman Empire, Napoleon, & Nazi Germany’s invasion of Russia all went. The Chinese have tried on several occasions to militarily annex parts of southern Russia w/o a great deal of success. This has all led to a deeply ingrained paranoia on the part of all Russians; from every man who sat on the Soviet Politburo over the years, to Boris Yeltsin after the fall of the USSR, to Vladimir Putin today, and every Russian since May 1945. The wall came down. NATO won.

After that, what was NATOs mission? GHWB & later Clinton talked Russia into accepting the Re-unification of Germany. Russia sought the explicit guarantee that if they accepted re-unification, NATO would not expand ‘one more inch east’. And the deal was made. Since then, NATO has steadily expanded east, right up to Russia’s border in the west. Historically every time a great power encroached on that border, invasion has followed. Yeltsin & later Putin have drawn the line at Ukraine joining NATO. That was the trigger. Russia clearly believed that was the signal that Russia was going to again face a costly invasion.

During WWII, Russia like America & a lot of Europe was more rural population. Family sizes were larger & population was larger. Today the Russian population is far smaller. If….. ….if Europe again came from the west try to drive on moscow & annex the west & south of Russia, could Russia absorb 33,000,000 losses? I dont think so. That heightens the paranoia. Then 2020 happens, the election is stolen from @realDonaldTrump & Biden is installed. Biden, the dementia puppet who’s White House & admin was run by its own Politburo of sorts, entirely composed of Globalists WEF personalities.

GHWB was part of that crowd. Remember his ‘new world order’ speech? Then the Clintons.. both WEF/Globalists/ ‘Free trade/NAFTA’ people. Then GW. Same. Then Obama. Same. From the cold war, to the dissolution of the USSR, through all those presidents & people i named, likewise European leaders. Globalists. All in control of NATO, which continued on after ‘91, & expanded steadily up to Russia’s border.

Throughout my 20’s & 30’s i regarded NATO as a relic that just continued to exist & swallow sums of money out of Bureaucratic inertia & tradition, but, did it? Or was it something else? A ‘new world order’? Think about it. This has been rattling around & percolating in my mind for months & my conversation with ‘mcdonnell douglas’ tonight allowed me to voice it & better organize my thoughts, but its still pretty raw. Why did NATO spend the past 34 years marching east? Why did NATO inspite of clear & valid Russian concerns trot out the puppet weeks into his term in 2021 & declare NATO & the US want Ukraine to join NATO?

Was NATO **intentionally provoking** a Russian invasion? All the money, the weapons, the death, on a needless war. This wasnt just random. All of it. The encroachment. The provocation. The endless draining of blood, money & supplies. The next step was what? NATO forces in Ukraine. A war with Russia.

Was this a thirty + year globalist plan to use the US & NATO to systematically weaken Russia economically & militarily post cold war to facilitate a NATO invasion & usurpation of Russia’s eastern & southern territory? A united Europe with America succeeding in the same annexation goal of the choice parts of Russia, & its mineral & energy wealth? To try to succeed where Nazi Germany failed?

Think about this. The crooks kid- connections to a shooting range where three letter agencies train. The Routhe assassin- Ukraine connected & three letter agency connected. They fail, Trump is elected, & the NATO money & march to war from America stops, forcing Europe into calamity to fund & re-arm…..TO CONTINUE THE WAR AGAINST RUSSIA THAT EUROPE & NATO (intentionally?) TRIGGERED. Were the assassination attempts to protect ‘The Plan’? Was the lawfare? How many of the people involved in 2020 election theft, & the Executive Branch & Judicial Branch targeting of Trump are WEF/Globalists?

I know how saying that out loud sounds. But look at the history. What is NATO really about? What was/is the Ukraine war really about? Trump retook office, made the point America is $36 Trillion w/ a T dollars in debt, brings in @elonmusk & creates @DOGE & tells NATO ‘we cant afford the bill anymore you have to pay your own bills’ & militarily & politically all Hell breaks loose in Europe— to protect the war in Ukraine NATO started.

It turns out, yes, @SenToddYoung sits on the board of a State Dept founded NGO. I wonder what we’re gonna find if @elonmusk & @DOGE start investigating it? Would love to see OMB records of payments to it, & for @FBI & @IRStaxpros to look at the NGO financial/accounting books for irregularities.

The National Endowment for Democracy. @Kiradiju @elonmusk @MahaMom2024 @DataRepublican @ToddYoungIN @SenToddYoung @DOGE @FBI @IRStaxpros Oh, Eileen Donahoe. Interesting.

Some thoughts on the Committee hearings on @realDonaldTrump’s nominees so far:

I have two concerns:
1. If 702 continues to exist, it will be abused. There’s too many subversives still in government. You cant purge them all. And, when we peacefully leave power & someday democrats ascend, they’ll either undo or ignore checks/reforms & repeat #spygate or worse. 2. Pam Bondi’s history of NOT protecting the #2A or gun owners. This is not a small thing. The ATF is even as i type this ignoring federal courts including the Supreme Court to maliciously prosecute gun owners & @PamBondi seems unwilling to stop them.

Takeaways from @ShawnRyan762 interview with @samosaur -
1. NOLA *not* connected to LV bombing.
2. Trying to get eyes on war crimes in Afghanistan.
3. Anti-gravity tech? Excuse me…what?!
4. China. Again.
5. Now go read @angertab last post.

Still processing this. Lots of answers here. MORE: MANPADS (man portable air defense systems) hand-held surface to air anti aircraft missiles— confirmed reporting through 2 solid sources, one in MX one in USG— iranian made copies of Russian MANPADS successfully smuggled into US.

Missiles NOT RECOVERED.

That report prior to election was ACCURATE.

For those wondering about the funding for Navy Submarines in today’s CR, I’ll try to explain this as best i can. Let’s do an impromptu thread. 🧵 The reality is the US Navy is still using submarines built in the 80’s & 90’s & they are well past their service lives. The Ohio class ballistic missile submarines are the best ever made but are past their projected life. Machinery wears out. These submarines are VITAL to the National Security.

This image is incredibly sad. Thats a proud dad. In her rambling 6 page suicide rant, that 15-year old girl talks about no one wanting/caring about/liking her. She talks about substance abuse of her dad. There’s far more to this…

https://twitter.com/slatzism/status/1868821058515878150

Was her dad a substance abuser? Was her home life bad? We don’t know. Hard to reconcile those accusations w/ that picture. We have her ramblings which are incoherent for the most part.

LOL! Let me explain something to you & your MI6 or GCHQ friend: no, you CANT depend on America foot the entire bill in money, material & blood to safe guard you anymore.

I oppose @Mike_Pence because he’s nothing he claims to be & stand for— life, Christianity, Rule of Law, Freedom— its all just a punchline to him.

He’s a fraud wrapping himself in false righteousness for personal gain, just like Judas Iscariot did.

They’re the same. ✝️

https://twitter.com/nateafischer/status/1858160614318743856

Matthew 7:15-20 Best describes @Mike_Pence & his actions as a politician & as a man.

Want to hear a dirty little secret? Why the Democrats use sexual impropriety allegations as their go to? Why they instinctively believe them when used on their enemies? Leftists instinctively use people like Stephanie Cliffords AKA ‘Stormy Daniels’, Christine Blasey-Ford, & E. Jean Carol because they themselves are a group CHOCK FULL of people who do things like these women accuse others of.
