This is where we are as far as Iranian Regime Security Forces are concerned. ⬇⬇️

We are seeing the effects of a lack of bodies in the IRGC & Basij from pocketing payroll salary corruption, AKA the "GHOST TROOPS Scam."

In Iran's case, it's as bad as what was went down in Assad's Syria a year ago.
1/
The Assad Regime's incredible corruption up to December 2024 left its forces so hollowed out by GHOST TROOPS payroll fraud that a Turkish-Ukrainian drone team backed Syrian rebel group toppled the regime in a few weeks.

If the IRGC & Basij lose heart, Iran may fall as swiftly.

Legacy Shield - Dads Do It Different - You have an instinct as a dad, even a brand new one. Don't be afraid to trust it. You see this with new dads holding their new babies. It starts as cuddling & rocking & stroking their heads, cheeks, those tiny fingers. And that will go on for a few months. But there is an inevitable point...Image
where dad will do something that mom will NEVER do.

Dad will THROW THAT BABY!

It will start small. A gentle toss, barely leaving his hands. But then a positive feedback loop will begin. The first time dad gets a hint of a smile from that little bundle (OR a panicked gasp from mom!) MARS is the next destination for that baby. THAT'S the....

1/ Aggressive, lose friends thread warning.

I may as well piss people off today, so here we go.

The "liberty movement" is the absolute best tool of expansive government next to communism. In fact, they're almost the same people really.

How you make ask? I'll tell you...
2/ If you want the TL;DR right now, it's this: They're so awful and weak they send people screaming to whatever flavor of the continued big government parties there are. If I was a government expansionist, I couldn't think of a better gift than the liberty folks...
3/ Now, let's start with the weak. The disunity, driven by the incapability to compromise, makes them worse than ineffective. They put their worst forward and in charge more than any traditional political unit. The "liberty" candidate in 2024 was outperformed by a man who...

Can we pause the Greenland noise for one second and admit the obvious?

Denmark isn’t sovereign anymore it’s in lockstep with @Maersk.

The UN @IMOHQ is run by NGOs.

Maersk and the UN @IMOHQ are in lockstep with China.

Here’s the history 🧵
In practice, its government moves in near-lockstep with @Maersk—the world’s largest logistics empire.

Not officially.
Not on paper.
But in outcomes, incentives, and red lines.

Here’s how we got here. Image
Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940.

The King stayed. He became a symbol of quiet national continuity.

But Denmark had no army to celebrate. No Normandy. No Stalingrad.

What it did have was a merchant fleet at sea, one of the largest in the world, which joined the Allied cause. Danish sailors carried fuel, food, and munitions under Allied control while their homeland was under German occupation.

They were 💯 critical to allies success.

Over a thousand Danish merchant sailors died while serving with the Allies

Those sailors became Denmark’s war heroes.

And that mattered.

It meant that after the war, shipping companies that fought with the allies had enormous political legitimacy in Denmark in a way the U.S. Merchant Marine never did in America.Image

Everyone is focused on Minnesota.

That’s a mistake.

We ran a nationwide scan and found the same fraud pattern in every state.

Yes, all 50 states........ Don't get distracted

We created PBRF‑LE pattern (Public Benefit Reimbursement Fraud via Lax Enforcement) based on multiply cases with the same pattern crossed the country, and what we found is explosive!!!!

This should enrage ever tax paying American, people enriched themselves while OUR CHILDREN SUFFERED, Including Politicians!!!!!https://open.substack.com/pub/17sog/p/the-invisible-billion-dollar-child?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
It’s not one program. It’s an ecosystem built to siphon public funds through weak verification systems.

The same architecture shows up repeatedly:
• phantom providers
• fake attendance
• nonprofit pass-through hubs
• kickbacks
• shell entities
• layered evasion
• long-duration exploitationhttps://open.substack.com/pub/17sog/p/whistleblowers-warned-of-billion?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
Fraud isn’t isolated anymore. It scales through:
• professional filing networks
• incorporation hubs
• “fraud-as-a-service” operators
• interstate corridors
• offshore conversion (crypto/wires/property) https://open.substack.com/pub/17sog/p/how-minnesotas-fraud-blueprint-connects?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

This:

>>Casualties are high on both sides

...argues that we are looking at a Regime Security Forces corruption-based THUG SHORTAGE.

In 2022 the IRGC & Basij had fire superiority & numbers to control situations when lethal force was used.

Now they are taking significant casualties.

1/
Where are the IRGC heavy weapons?

Where are the IRGC technicals with heavy machine guns to mow down crowds of protestors?

We should be seeing thousands of protestors shot, given the mobs seen on Tehran streets.

We are hearing numbers like ~217 in six Tehran hospitals.

2/ Image
Image
Just look how dense that protestor crowd is.

Just imagine the horror that one 12.7mm or 14.5 mm heavy machine gun technical could do to this crowd, given a willing IRGC crew.

Kellogg: Zelenskyy's a tough son of a b*tch. He's stubborn. He has his opinion. He's unafraid to say that. He knows how to use media.

I said [to Trump] he was an embattled and courageous leader. We in the United States have not seen a leader like him since Abraham Lincoln. 1/
Kellogg: There are some malevolent actors out there. You have North Korea, China, what's left of Iran, and Russia. In the past, we didn't allow those four to come together. We kept them separated. Now they've come together. The point is to separate them. 2/
Kellogg: I don't think Putin wants Ukraine to succeed. Putin as a former KGB officer, I don't think they ever outlived their roots. He's got a goal in mind. What we want in the West is not necessarily what he wants. 3/

Venezuela, short summary

Five stealth oil tankers seized
* SKIPPER
* CENTURIES
* BELLA 1 (formerly Marinera)
* SOPHIA
* OLINA
There were ~20 loaded vessels and almost all of them have departed in "dark mode" (with transponders turned off).

#tankers #CrudeOil #crude Image
LYDIA N and VERONICA were on standby in Aruba OPL, they turned off their AIS and have been in dark mode for more than 6 days. The first one has reportedly sailed off the coast of Colombia, she's laden with ~2 MM bbl/#crudeoil Image
Image
MT ALBEDO and ANNA A: both sailed from Amuay to Jose and set sail with the intent of circumventing the sanctions/blockade, but have returned to Amuay.
— They manipulated their AIS to report false coordinates; one is reporting a position in the Atlantic and the other in Brazil Image

Currently indian govt trying to sacrifice the currency to minor extent to save the economy to major extent which is the most stupid move in high interest rate Era in developed countries, stay with me for few mins, let me break it up to primary school math !
The govt could fail miserably like our neighbours and pivot to sacrificing the economy to minor extent and saving the currency to major extent if the usdinr nosedives like pak or srilanka, we have higher mean reversion risk than pak Lanka, let me come to that shortly
In this process the govt could destroy both the currency and the economy, the classic low income trap in economics that happens for nations

In this study, a lot can be learned about the potential role of the endothelium in the pathobiological matrix of #MECFS:

A critique that I have is that the most central question in any #MECFS hypothesis ....nature.com/articles/s4141…
2/7
... is touched from a narrow angle only (here: with reference to the muscles only).

Now what is the most central question of any #MECFS hypothesis?
It is: How does this hypothesis explain #PEM? After all, PEM is what defines #MECFS.

May I make a few suggestions?
3/7
Any hypothesis of #MECFS should include a thorough discussion of 4 questions:

5 warning signs your health is deteriorating, but you think are normal (🧵1/12):

#1 Early greying hair

This is a primary sign of stress.

The melanocytes that produce the pigment melanin for your hair can die off if they're exposed to high levels of stress hormones.Image
Image
Greying hair can also be caused by numerous nutrient deficiencies.

The conversion of tyrosine into the forms of melanin requires:

◇ Tyrosine
◇ Copper
◇ Zinc
◇ Iron
◇ Vitamin C
◇ Vitamin B9

If you are low on ANY of these, you are likely to get grey hair. Image
Hypothyroidism can also cause grey hair - thyroid hormones reverse it experimentally.

Preserving melanocytes (+ their stem cells), along with copper utilization requires lots of ENERGY.

Thyroid hormone can restore melanin production. Image
