Why you can never ever completely trust any Mohammedan: 🧵
1. Unique among major religions, Islam offers even the worst of its sinners, fallen "bad Muslims," an instant pathway to redemption, in order to enter paradise as a hero.

No matter if a Mohammedan has been drinking, gambling, whoring and hanging out with non-Muslims for years, he can have all the sins of his past forgiven if he dies in the act of killing infidels.

I think we saw one example of this yesterday in Washington DC.
The intentional suicide crash of Egypt Air Flight 990 in 1999 is another infamous example. 2. For reasons of national pride, Egypt Air has continued to deny the reality of what happened in 1999, but the flight data and voice recorders tell the truth. Relief First Officer Gameel Al-Batouti finagled his way into the right seat for the first part of the flight, and when the Captain left the cockpit, he put the plane into a dive while repeating "I rely on God!"

After doing my own research, it's my considered opinion that the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage was a joint US Navy-Polish endeavor. American Seahawk helicopters landed and refueled at a Polish base on the Baltic. I'm going to make a thread with some of the graphics I created at the time.🧵

Imagine a $45 minimum wage, with full employment. Families living on one salary, with housewives staying home to raise their kids. That was America, before we were robbed blind.
1963: JFK is assassinated.
1964: Millions of silver JFK half dollars are minted.
1965: Silver coins are changed to painted copper.
1968: Silver certificate dollars redeemable in silver are changed to bogus "federal reserve notes" redeemable in nothing.
1971: America closes the gold window.
1971-2025: Budgets are blown sky-high to infinity with the private federal reserve printing trillions of federal reserve note "dollars" out of thin air backed by nothing. Well-connected banks and financial institutions benefit the most by the "Cantillon Effect." New money creation is actually a wealth transfer from the middle class to the most wealthy and politically connected.
2025: The U.S. federal debt stands at 38 TRILLION dollars, and is growing at 180 BILLION dollars per month. A crash and collapse worse than the 1930s is now inevitable.
This is why the prices of gold and silver are soaring. Banks and knowledgeable investors are buying all the physical, delivered gold and silver they can get their hands on. They know what's coming, even while they assure Joe Sixpack that all is well, so just keep watching sportsball . . .
They don't want to compete in a panic stampede to the lifeboats, not until they are already motoring far away from the Titanic in their own megayachts. Grok: What is the economic theory that holds that when new money is created by central banks, it mainly benefits the first ones who get it? Can you explain this theory?

Inflation is planned theft from the working class on a massive scale.
A short pictorial thread.
🧵 In 1963, John F. Kennedy was murdered.
- In 1964, millions of commemorative silver Kennedy half dollars were minted.
- In 1965, American silver coins were replaced by silver-painted copper coins.
- LBJ had to fund both "guns and butter," the massively expanding Vietnam War (that Kennedy was against) and his "Great Society" program at home.
- The timing over 3 years is amazing.

2/ The escalation of the phases of jihad conquest may appear random or confusing to non-Mohammedans, but they are not. First, they will infiltrate a target nation in the "Dar Al Harb" (the House of War, that is, a non-Muslim nation) while posing as "moderate Muslims fleeing war and disorder."

There will be periodic small and large terrorist actions, from singleton stabbers up to Bataclan and Mumbai attacks, but these are just warmup acts to get the pot boiling. Mohammedans also have their own "accelerationists" striving to move the timetable to full jihad conquest forward.

[Importantly, every jihadist who dies while killing infidels gets a free pass to the perpetual 72-virgin orgy in Mohammed's sick paradise.]

Why is Trump so focused on Greenland and Panama?
If you have played the board game RISK, then you understand.
> by Matt Bracken / Feb 20, 2025
Right or wrong, there is a geopolitical school of thought that follows the logic of my highlighted RISK board.

In the classic board game, a frequently winning strategy is to control North America, (and South America when you are strong enough to take it), and then to build your forces internally. You then sit back and watch the other 4 or 5 players slaughter each other from Britain to Kamchatka while they are trying to conquer all of Eurasia.

Sometimes Oceania can hold out, but it usually falls to whoever controls Eurasia. South America and Africa are "spoils zones" that fall to the last 2 players. But a strong plan is to hold North America, build your forces, and wait for the other players that are spread across Eurasia to weaken and destroy one another in constant battle. That's in the board game of Risk, when the players are rolling dice and moving little plastic armies from country to country. 2/
In the real world, North America, dominated by the USA, is nearly resource independent. It had defensible external and internal borders. Profitable sea trade can be conducted with countries on the other continents when conditions are favorable, but when the War Zone erupts in conflict, as it does a few times every century, North America can just lay back and wait. It's large enough to form its own internal trading bloc, and has enough natural resources to be self sufficient.

The CW2 Cube: Mapping the Meta-Terrain of Civil War Two
Matt Bracken / Feb 19, 2025
(I wrote the CW2 Cube in 2010. How does it hold up today, considering what has happened over the past fifteen years, across the administrations of Obama, Trump, Biden, and now Trump again?)

A second civil war in the United States would be an unparalleled disaster. Nobody who is sane and who has studied modern civil wars from Spain to Lebanon to the Balkans and beyond would ever wish to see one occur. But if political, cultural and demographic trends are sweeping us toward that unhappy destiny, it would be wise to at least cast a weather eye over the possible terrain.

First, a caveat. I am not going to waste your valuable time making politically-correct genuflections after every controversial sentence, because this essay is meant to be read by mature and rational adults.

Before we move on to the cube, let’s begin with the CW2 Square. The cube is best tackled in another step. Draw the square and label one axis Poorer to Richer. Label the other axis Darker to Lighter. Darker, for brevity, includes African-Americans, Hispanics and so on. Lighter refers to those of European ancestry. The two opposed meta-groups are the poorer and darker versus the richer and lighter, or whiter if you wish to be blunt. The richer/whiter have the power of their wealth, but counterbalancing that advantage is the fact that the poorer/darker have succeeded in wresting control of much of government power. This is so, even if most of their elected leaders are anything but poor or dark.

Now, before you scream out your exceptions, yes, there are rich black cattle ranchers and poor whites living in blighted urban areas and so on. However, to focus on them is to miss the critical centers of gravity of Civil War Two for the over-study of interesting but insignificant outliers. Filling one corner of the CW2 Square will be the poorer and darker, who primarily are liberal and progressive Democrats who believe in a malleable “living Constitution.” And in the other corner will be the richer and whiter, who mainly are conservative or libertarian Republicans who believe in the original intent of the written Constitution. Again, keep your eyes on the two meta-cores, not the exceptions.

Now, let’s add the third dimension and shoot another axis out from the square to form the CW2 Cube. Label the third axis Urban versus Rural, or City versus Country if you prefer. This axis gives a geographical dimension to the meta-terrain, but there will be no convenient dividing line between the opposed sides as there was during the first civil war. It has frequently been observed that today’s red-blue political map is better understood at the county than at the state level. Even blue states like Illinois, California and New York are rural-red outside of their blue urban cores. Obviously, these urban cores are heavily populated but geographically small, with all that means to the electoral process today and to a possible civil war later.
[continues at 2/] 2/
So the opposing corners of the CW2 Cube can be seen as the poorer, darker cities versus the richer, whiter rural areas. Again, don’t quibble about the outliers. Yes, there are a few rich, conservative African-Americans living in Wyoming, many poor white liberal Democrats in rural West Virginia, some rich conservatives in San Francisco and every other exceptional case imaginable.

Most of us live in the mushy, mongrel middle, far from the tips of the two opposite corners. But the centers of gravity of Civil War Two shall be as I have described: the relatively richer, whiter and more rural against the poorer, darker and more urban. One can also propose many more axes of conflict than can fit on a cube, such as the religious versus the non-believers, socialists versus capitalists, statists versus individualists and so on. However, after you reflect upon the CW2 Cube, I think you will find that most of these extra axes can be overlaid parallel to one of the three already posited.

So, of what use is the CW2 Cube, other than in providing a conceptual map for Civil War Two? In my research as a novelist who attempts to write realistic fiction about the coming years, I have long been a student of modern civil wars. One repeated lesson of modern civil war is that there is inherently dangerous, even fatal terrain. Some of this predictably-dangerous terrain is often highly desirable and even advantageous before the outbreak of civil war.

To begin: you do not want to live as a trapped and cut-off minority in what might become “enemy territory.” If you live amidst your future civil war enemies, as defined and located within the CW2 Cube, you will be in mortal danger even if your immediate neighbors know, love and respect you. Those persons who have a stake in fanning the flames of CW2 (and their number shall be legion), will intentionally target those remaining “holdouts” who may be respected minority neighbors. (In this essay, minority means “the minority within a given group or area.” Blacks are the majority in some areas, and whites are the minorities in others, and so on.)

Frequently in modern civil wars, roaming armed groups (in or out of uniform) will even force people to kill their own beloved and respected minority neighbors as an ultimate loyalty test. If they refuse, they may themselves be killed as “traitors.” Besides pre-conflict racists and radicals, there will be an ever-increasing pool of persons attempting to expel minorities from their homes. Those embittered unfortunates who have already been ethnically cleansed will be seeking new living quarters, and the homes and property of “enemy” minorities still living in majority territory will be the first on the chopping block. (Not the auction block, because payment of any kind is rarely offered.) This process of minority eviction becomes a self-perpetuating feedback loop.

Often, those members of minorities who escape as refugees are the lucky ones who do not lose their lives during the back-and-forth of escalating violence. The fact that they may have been loved, admired and respected for many years by their majority-population neighbors will not protect them. This is a clear lesson of modern civil war. Another is that while the rich or the well-to-do can sometimes hide their wealth and pass as proles, the same cannot be said about concealing one’s racial or ethnic identity. Religious affiliation and political leanings can also be hidden, but outward appearance cannot. Civil War Two may begin on purely political grounds, but it will devolve into something worse.

Does this mean that all white city-dwellers should head for the hinterland, or that dark-skinned folks living in the country should move to the city? It’s not for me to say. We all hope and pray that there will never be a second “hot civil war” in America, instead of merely the “cold civil war” we are engaged in today. But the immutable lessons of modern civil wars should not be ignored. Another lesson is that it will take tremendous moral courage to defy the hot-heads and radicals, and shield your minority neighbors from harm.

Russia is facing a strategic calamity in Syria.

Russia has had naval forces in the port of Tartus since 1971. Tartus was Russia's external "warm water port" on the Mediterranean. The Black Sea fleet is under extreme pressure during the SMO, and in any event it can only enter and leave with the good graces of Turkey, which controls the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits. (Maritime treaties notwithstanding.)

And now, after half a century, the Russian Navy has sortied from Tartus. From the Russian perspective, this is a strategic disaster. And in the era of drone warfare, the Russian Air Force will not risk leaving its planes undefended on the ground at its air base at Khmeimim southeast of Latakia. It's too close to the approaching HTS forces, which are now taking Hama and nearly taking Homs, cutting Syria in two, and leaving Damascus land-locked and isolated.

Turkey initiated the current HTS military offensive in Syria, so it also goes without saying that Turkey controls Russian naval movements in and out of the Black Sea (maritime treaties be damned) unless Russia wants to force the issue kinetically, and go to war with Turkey and NATO.

Where will the Russian naval forces departing Tartus go? They can't refuel indefinitely in the Med, a "NATO Lake." The Black Sea is very tricky during the SMO, and it's a long, long way to the Baltic and Kaliningrad (on another NATO Lake) and even further to Murmansk.

Once again, geography plays its tricks on Mother Russia. The Great Game goes on. Stay tuned.

U.S. and NATO Allies conduct MCM during BALTOPS24
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jordan Klineizquierdo
PUTLOS, Germany  –

U.S. and Allied forces are conducting mine hunting and mine detonation exercises in the Baltic Sea as part of Baltic Operations (BALTOPS) 2024, the premier maritime-focused annual military exercise in the Baltic Region. Mine countermeasure (MCM) exercises, conducted by personnel at Truppenübungsplatz Putlos and Hohn Air Base in Germany, commenced June 7 and culminated in an MCM combat rehearsal, June 18.
The Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center (SMWDC) directs all MCM exercises within BALTOPS, including surface MCM vessels, MCM capable aircraft, and explosive ordnance disposal. About 700 personnel, more than 20 surface ships and units, and 20 unmanned systems, including unmanned surface and underwater vessels, and two MH-60S Seahawk helicopters are involved in BALTOPS mine countermeasure efforts.

“This is our chance to flex our MCM muscles and show what we have been practicing and working towards,” says Capt. Scott Hattaway, director of SMWDC. “During BALTOPS24, we put all the chips on the table and lay our cards down, and show that we know what we're doing and that we're good at it.”

Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron TWO ONE (HSC-21) Detachment THREE, based in San Diego, California, under U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), provided two MH-60S Seahawk helicopters configured with Airborne Mine Neutralization Systems.

“HSC-21 is executing multiple BALTOPS24 events to advance helicopter tactics in offensive mine countermeasures,” said Lt. Cmdr. Rob “OG” Swain, HSC-21.3 Officer-in-Charge. “These include employing the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS), working with U.S. Navy and NATO nation special forces, and closely integrating with our German host nation allies. The participation of HSC-21 in BALTOPS24 demonstrates cross-combatant command operational readiness and the joint forces’ ability to rapidly move strategic mine countermeasures assets from the Indo-Pacific to anywhere in the world ready to execute with agility, reliability, and aggression.”

Shipping Industry Pleads With UN For "Enhanced Military Presence" As Maritime Choke-Point Chaos Spreads

APR 20, 2024
Exactly one week ago, Iranian commandos seized a container ship affiliated with Israel as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz. This action sparked new fears of another maritime chokepoint becoming disrupted as the crisis in the Middle East escalated. It also prompted a plea by the international shipping industry to the United Nations, urging an increase in military patrols along key shipping routes.

First reported by the maritime news website gGaptain, an open letter co-signed by 16 maritime industry associations and social partners, calls for urgent assistance and reminds countries about their responsibilities under international law.

"However, the incident this weekend, when the vessel MSC Aries was seized by Iranian forces at 06.37 UTC – 50 nautical miles north-east of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates on Saturday 13 April, has once again highlighted the intolerable situation where shipping has become a target. This is unacceptable," the signatories of the letter stated. [rest at link]zerohedge.com/commodities/sh… Two names to read up on:
