“The army, under Department of Defense directive 5240.01 has just been licensed to gun you down.”

And Uncle Sam sleeps in a drainage ditch on the ragged edge of Palookaville…

Fever Dream (James Howard Kunstler)

“The American ‘Left’ is fully exposed now as a demented, vicious, abusive animal of traumatizing narcissism.” — Celia Farber

Do you hear that lonesome whistle blow? Wooooo-wooooo! It’s the last train to Palookaville pulling into the station. At this late hour, two passengers get on: Kamala Harris, mom jeans and blazer, rheumy red eyes, half-gone on chardonnay. . . and an elderly gentleman with a goatee in a colorful but shabby red-white-and-blue suit, famous long ago as “Uncle Sam.” There’s an election on, in case you haven’t noticed, imminent even. Kamala, everyone seems to agree, has blown it. Can’t answer simple questions pitched by friendly ringers in the “news” business. Hiding somebody else’s agenda is a tough assignment, you see. All she can really do is cackle or simper and, let’s face it, that gets humiliating fast. Joy has turned to despair. Her punched ticket says “one way.” Whose idea was it, anyway, over at party HQ, to put her up to this contest?

She wishes she knew, as she gazes out the window at the sad lights of the little towns streaking by — East Chugwater, Erehwon, Tanktown, Loserville, onward into the night to the end of the line. How’d they manage to yank her out of the Naval Observatory, where she was comfy and cozy watching Netflix rom-coms with Doug, chardonnay refills on-demand, all the Doritos a gal could munch? She was a lover, not a fighter, she repeats to herself, but the self-consolation doesn’t quite avail. Uncle Sam sits stoically five seats behind her. He is resigned, knowing very well why he is on that train, too. His own country is sending him into exile after swindling him out of his history and his posterity. He doesn’t even recognize the place anymore. What happened to Sandburg’s city of big shoulders? Who turned the fruited plain into a hellscape of muffler shops?

How did the heroes of Iwo Jima transition into a legion of TikTok influencers with pierced faces and scrambled brains? When the train gets in, he has no place to go. Perhaps he’ll sleep in a ditch. You entertain these drear hallucinatory conceits despite the giddiness about Donald Trump’s seeming triumph over adversity — botched assassinations, court cases hatched by malice-crazed ninnies, blob-generated calumnies, conspiracies, ops, and hoaxes galore. And for Halloween, they painted a Hitler mustache on him, just for fun. It remains to be seen what marvels of ballot legerdemain have been concocted by Marc Elias, Esq, lawfare artist supreme, destroyer of the nation’s faith in itself. But say Mr. Trump overcomes even the planned epic voter fraud to capture the prize. What then? You’re entitled to feel nervous. The army, under Department of Defense directive 5240.01 has just been licensed to gun you down.

This is a new thing. Now isn’t it a queer moment in history for a move like that? What are they expecting, anyway? And, by the way, who exactly is the varlet in the chain-of-command who issued that directive? (Or did it just bubble-up out of the ruling blob like some sulfurous gas from a Yellowstone fumarole?) People of good faith have reason to believe that the country is about to be blown apart. By another odd coincidence, an outfit called the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association International (AFCEA) has scheduled an “exercise simulating a cyber-attack on critical infrastructure” for November 5 in Atlanta, Georgia. That’s election day. In a big swing state. Whose idea was that? Is there already not enough that might go wrong that some treasonous moron had to kick the risk of fiasco up another notch? Or might it be cover for another Three Card Monte caper with the Georgia votes?

This is the sort of thing that will dog poor old Uncle Sam’s mind as he tries to fall asleep in that drainage ditch on the ragged edge of Palookaville.

Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, RFK Jr. To Speak At Trump Rally At MSG in NYC (JTN)

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s upcoming rally at Madison Square Garden will feature, among others, speakers Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump is planning to hold the rally in New York City on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. Other speakers include former Democratic Hawaii Congresswoman turned Republican Tulsi Gabbard, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla. and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The total list provided by the campaign includes 30 names. As Election Day gets closer, both Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Trump have been ramping up their campaign stops. Harris held a rally in Houston, Texas, Friday with music star Beyonce, while Trump recently got the endorsement of country singer Jason Aldean in Georgia. Trump went on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Friday and the episode already has over 10 million views.

Kamala Rally Descends Into Complete Chaos As Beyoncé Doesn’t Perform (MN)

The Kamala Harris rally in Houston last night was billed as a Beyoncé concert. Everyone, including the media, believed the singer would perform after the announcement was made earlier in the week, but all she did was walk out and make a barely audible speech for a few minutes. Then the rally descended into complete chaos.This is the extent of her appearance:

Firstly, you can’t hear a word she’s saying. What’s so difficult about taking a direct feed from the microphones? It seems some outlets got the feed but others didn’t. What a mess. Secondly, 30,000 people showed up and waited in line because they believed it was a Beyoncé concert. A million people tried to get tickets because they thought it was a Beyoncé concert.

So when it wasn’t, people were pissed. The rally then descended into absolute chaos as some people left, while others kicked up a fuss about Beyonce not singing. The media spun this as Trump supporters ‘protesting’, and Harris repeated a line about showing them the way to the “smaller rally down the road,” referring to Trump’s event. But the fact is, they weren’t Trump supporters, they were just pissed off that they’d been misled. Perhaps the most hilarious aspect of this was that the performance they actually got was 91 year old Willie Nelson.

Scott Rasmussen Says Trump Needs To Win A ‘Blue Wall’ State (JTN)

Pollster Scott Rasmussen on Friday said current polls show former President Donald Trump having “the edge” in Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona, but that he would need one of the “blue wall” states in order to secure victory in November. The election is considered too close to call this far out, with the election coming down to seven critical swing states. Those states consist of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The three “blue wall states” are Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

“Looking at the latest data… If the election were held today, [Donald Trump] would likely win,” Rasmussen said in a post to X. “Trump has edge in key swing states of GA, NC, [and] AZ. That would get him to 262 Electoral College votes. He would then need to win just one of the three Blue Wall states.” Rasmussen said Vice President Kamala Harris would need to “pull the political equivalent of an inside straight,” which means a clean sweep of the blue wall states, in order to win the election.

The Napolitan Institute warned on Friday that one of Trump’s biggest threats is voter turnout, especially in swing states like North Carolina, where voters could be impacted by the remnants of Hurricane Helene. Bad weather, such as blizzards in Northern states, could also negatively impact voter turnout, which would likely hurt Trump more than Harris. The group also warned that some polls might underestimate Harris’ appeal, which could bring more voters to the polls than expected.

“In the meantime, the Biden Administration is continuing to oppose and legally challenge efforts of states like Virginia to remove alleged non-citizens from their voting rolls.”

Over 80% of Americans Support Voter ID and Proof of Citizenship Laws (Turley)

This week, I wrote about polls that show the public is not buying the apocalyptic predictions of the imminent death of democracy unless Kamala Harris is elected president. Now, a new poll shatters another main talking point of pundits and the press. Democratic candidates, including Vice President Harris, have denounced voter identification laws as “Jim Crow 2.0” attacks on voters. A majority of voters have long supported these laws. According to a new Gallup poll, that majority is now a supermajority. Despite unrelenting attacks on these laws in the media, eight in ten Americans now support both laws:

With less than two weeks to go in the presidential campaign and voting already underway in many states, 76% of U.S. adults favor the concept of early voting. Two other election law policies are supported by even more Americans — requiring photo identification to vote (84%) and providing proof of citizenship when registering to vote for the first time (83%). … Majorities of Americans favor a range of election law policies that expand voters’ access to the ballot box, including early voting, automatic voter registration, and sending absentee ballot applications to all eligible voters.

They also broadly support measures to limit fraud and ensure election integrity, including requiring photo identification to vote and providing proof of citizenship when first registering to vote. There are few major political issues today that could show this type of overwhelming support, including from Democrats. Yet, both the Democratic politicians and pundits continue to denounce these laws. Indeed, the campaign against Georgia resulted in their losing the All-Star Game and its economic benefits. Yet, under these laws, Georgia is setting records in the turnout of voters. In the meantime, the Biden Administration is continuing to oppose and legally challenge efforts of states like Virginia to remove alleged non-citizens from their voting rolls.

It’s all only designed to cheat.

Appeals Court: Mississippi Law Allowing Ballots After Election Day Illegal (ET)

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit released an opinion on Oct. 25 stating that federal law requires mail-in ballots be counted no later than election day. In doing so, it ruled against a Mississippi law allowing ballots to be counted if they arrived no more than five days after the election and if they were postmarked on or before the date of the election. The opinion, which came less than two weeks before the 2024 elections, redirected the case back to the lower court while refraining from issuing an injunction that would halt Mississippi’s law. The policy was adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the state kept it after the pandemic ended. “Because Mississippi’s statute allows ballot receipt up to five days after the federal election day, it is preempted by federal law,” Judge Andrew Oldham, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, wrote in his opinion for the court.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley called the decision on the social media platform X a “seismic win for fair, accurate, secure, and transparent elections.” Justifying the decision to throw the decision back to the lower court, rather than block Mississippi’s law, Oldham referenced a Supreme Court precedent that cautions against last-minute changes to election procedures. “Today’s decision says nothing about remedies,” he said. “We decline to grant plaintiffs’ initial request for a permanent injunction. … Instead, we remand to the district court for further proceedings to fashion appropriate relief, giving due consideration to ’the value of preserving the status quo in a voting case on the eve of an election.’” He was quoting another fifth circuit case but also referenced the Supreme Court’s 2006 decision in Purcell v. Gonzalez. Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson had told the Fifth Circuit that an election was voters’ “conclusive choice of an officeholder,” which took place on election day.

“That is so even if election officials do not receive those ballots until after election day,” his brief to the court read. “An election does not itself require ballot receipt.” Oldham and two other Trump appointees, Judge James Ho and Judge Kyle Duncan, heard oral arguments over the issue in September. The Republican National Committee (RNC) had appealed the decision of a lower court that ruled in favor of Mississippi. Oldham reasoned that the Constitution granted Congress authority over elections through two provisions, including one that allows Congress to alter the timing of federal elections hosted by states. Oldham drew a distinction between the timing of ballot counting and ballot casting. “Even if the ballots have not been counted, the result is fixed when all of the ballots are received and the proverbial ballot box is closed,” he wrote. “The selections are done and final.”

“Trump praised former independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., saying that Big Pharma wasn’t thrilled about their partnership.”

Trump Discussed A Wide Range Of Topics For 3 Hours On The Joe Rogan Show (JTN)

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump covered a wide range of topics on the hugely popular “Joe Rogan Experience” Friday during a nearly three-hour interview. Rogan has an audience of about 14.5 million on Spotify and 17.6 million on YouTube, according to Fox News. He is the most-listened-to podcast host, and is considered very influential with young male voters, a demographic that Trump is attempting to reach during the remaining days of the presidential campaign. The episode already has over 10 million views. Among the topics they discussed were his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the race for the White House. They discussed his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan by the Biden administration, his former National Security Advisor John Bolton, how liberals became pro-censorship of online speech, and his relationship with Robert Kennedy Jr.

Rogan asked Trump if Kennedy Jr. would definitely be a part of his next administration. He showed Trump charts that he said showed “there are chemicals and ingredients in our food that are illegal in other countries because they’ve been shown to be toxic.” He asked Trump if he was pressured not to work with Kennedy Jr. Trump praised former independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., saying that Big Pharma wasn’t thrilled about their partnership. After Kennedy Jr. dropped out and endorsed him, Trump said that if he got another term, Kennedy Jr. would be a part of the administration and would be focused on reforming government agencies like the Food and Drug Administration. “But I would say that the Big Pharma wasn’t thrilled when they heard that,” Trump answered, according to Fox News. “I’ve actually always gotten along very well with him. I’ve known him a long time.

He’s a different kind of a guy. He’s very smart, great guy, and he’s very sincere about this. I mean, he really is. You know, he thinks we spend a fortune on pesticides and all this stuff, and then you end up at that chart…” Kennedy Jr. has been focused on Big Food and getting toxic chemicals out of what Americans eat. He recently coined the term “Make America Healthy Again.” “There’s pesticides and herbicides, and there’s a lot of sh– that’s been sprayed on our food that really is unnecessary,” Rogan said. “And there’s a lot of health consequences.” He added that Kennedy recently told him that “more than 70% of young men are ineligible for the military because of their health.” On another topic, Rogan asked Trump about referring to Kim Jong Un as “Little Rocket Man.”

“I said, ‘Little Rocket Man, you’re going to burn in hell.’ And it was rough,” Trump said. “I got to know him better than anybody, anybody. And I said, ‘Do you ever do anything else? Why don’t you go take it easy and relax? Go to the beach?’ You know, kiddingly, I said, ‘You’re always building nuclear. Just relax. You don’t have to do it. Let’s build some condos.'” And regarding his opponent in the upcoming election, Kamala Harris, Trump described her as a “very low IQ person.” “There’s the rhetoric is also that you’re Hitler and that in order to stop Hitler, you have to do whatever,” Rogan said. “I mean, you’re hearing this now, Kamala compared you, said you love Hitler yesterday.” “Kamala is a very low IQ person. She’s a very low IQ. You know, I’m for taking tests too. I think anybody that runs for president should take, they should give them a test,” Trump said.

True, but not why he did it. Bezos is simply afraid of being caught on the wrong end of a landslide.

“Let’s not sugarcoat it…We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. Right? I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”

Bravo, WaPo: Ending Media Endorsements Could Help Restore Trust (Turley)

As someone who used to write regularly for the newspaper, it has been a long time since I have had an occasion to say this but . . . Bravo, Washington Post. This week, the Post announced that not only would it not endorse a candidate this year, but it would not do so in the future. Over two decades ago, I wrote a column calling for newspapers to end the practice of all election endorsements. (Yes, before all things seemed to turn on how you feel about Donald Trump). I have continued to push the press to abandon this pernicious practice. When I first came out against political endorsements, the media had not taken the plunge into advocacy journalism, which is now strangling the life out of this industry. As former New York Times writer (and now Howard University journalism professor) Nikole Hannah-Jones has declared that “all journalism is activism.”

After a series of interviews with over 75 media leaders, Leonard Downie Jr., former Washington Post executive editor, and Andrew Heyward, former CBS News president, reaffirmed this shift. As Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor-in-chief at the San Francisco Chronicle, stated: “Objectivity has got to go.” The result has been the plummeting of trust in the media to an all-time low. Revenues and readership are falling as outlets struggle to survive. Yet, reporters are still refusing to reconsider the abandonment of neutrality and objectivity. Recently, Post owner Jeff Bezos brought in Washington Post publisher and CEO William Lewis, who promptly delivered a truth bomb in the middle of the newsroom by telling the staff, “Let’s not sugarcoat it…We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. Right? I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”

The response was calls for Lewis and other editors to be canned. These reporters would rather give up their very jobs than their bias. Now Lewis is under fire again after announcing, “We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.” The Washington Post Guild immediately went ballistic at the thought of not openly supporting Kamala Harris, though many would point out that the Post has hardly been subtle in its coverage on that point. The Guild expressed alarm at the thought of leaving readers to reach their own conclusions “a mere 11 days ahead of an immensely consequential election.” According to the staff, the Post needs “to help guide readers,” and “according to our own reporters and Guild members, an endorsement for Harris was already drafted, and the decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos.”

Trump Reveals His ‘Biggest Mistake’ (RT)

Former US president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has told podcaster Joe Rogan that his “biggest mistake” was making a number of wrong personnel decisions during his time in the White House between 2017 and 2021. Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Saturday, Trump insisted that his was a “great presidency” but pointed out that it could have been even better if he had surrounded himself with different people. “The biggest mistake I made, was I picked… a few people that I should not have picked,” he said. When asked by Rogan if he was talking about the neocons (neoconservatives), the former president said: “Yes, neocons, or bad people, or disloyal people.” “You are reading about them a little bit today. A guy like Kelly, who is a bully, but a weak person,” he said.

Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly recently gave several interviews in which he claimed that, during his time in office, his 78-year-old commander-in-chief had praised Hitler in private and said “more than once” that the infamous leader of Nazi Germany “did some good things.” While the Trump team has denied the claims outright, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris took the opportunity to brand her Republican rival a “fascist” and a would-be dictator. His other questionable choice, Trump recalled on the podcast, was appointing arch-hawk John Bolton as his National Security Advisor, Trump acknowledged. “Bolton was an idiot, but he was great for me,” he said. “He is a nutjob, and every time I had to deal with a country – when they saw this whack job standing behind me – they said: ‘Oh man, Trump is going to go to war with him,” the former president said.

Bolton “was with [US president George HW] Bush when they went stupidly into the Middle East [in 1990]. They should have never done it. I used to say it as a civilian,” he added. Trump fired Bolton in September 2019 after 18 months in the job, saying that he “disagreed strongly with many of [the adviser’s] suggestions.” Speaking about claims by former chief of staff Kelly with CNN earlier this week, Bolton warned that a Trump victory in next month’s election would be “dangerous” for America. However, he rejected accusations of the former president being a “fascist.” According to the hawk, in order to be one “you have to have a philosophy. Trump’s not capable of that.”

“This is the kind of inflammatory poison that divides our nation and inspires assassins.”

Trump, Former White House Staffers Reject John Kelly’s ‘Fascist’ Claims (ET)

Former President Donald Trump and previous members of his administration say that claims made by former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly are “patently false.” Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, worked for the Trump administration from 2017 to 2019. He has spoken out multiple times against Trump during the election—most recently in interviews with The New York Times and The Atlantic. In those interviews, Kelly said Trump fitted the general definition of a fascist and alleged that the former president said he wanted “German generals,” like Nazi leader Adolph Hitler had. Several members of the Trump administration, including former Vice President Mike Pence’s former chief of staff, Mike Ayers, have sharply disputed the claims. “I’ve avoided commenting on intra-staff leaks or rumors or even lies as it relates to my time at the White House but General Kelly’s comments regarding President Trump are too egregious to ignore,” Ayers said on X.

“I was with each of them more than most, and his commentary is *patently false.*” Mark Paoletta, general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), also spoke out against Kelly, writing on X: “I don’t believe a word he says. He was a terrible chief of staff who dishonestly kept information from the President to pursue his own agenda.” Trump himself denounced the stories on Oct. 23, saying Kelly “made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred.” “Even though I shouldn’t be wasting my time with him, I always feel it’s necessary to hit back in pursuit of THE TRUTH,” Trump said on Truth Social and X. Both of Kelly’s interviews came out less than two weeks before Election Day, at a time when early voting is underway across several states, and Trump is starting to take the lead in battleground state polls. Vice President Kamala Harris followed Kelly’s two stories by stating at a CNN town hall that she believed Trump to be a fascist.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded directly to these comments on X, saying, “This is the kind of inflammatory poison that divides our nation and inspires assassins.” The Atlantic also claimed Trump made disparaging remarks about a dead military servicemember and balked over her funeral expenses. At a news conference in Austin, Texas, on Oct. 25, the former president also strongly denied making those claims. “If they didn’t get the military funding, I was going to fund it myself,” Trump said about the funeral for Vanessa Guillen, 20, who was murdered in 2020 while stationed at an Army base in Texas that was then called Fort Hood. Guillen’s slaying and dismemberment led to an outcry over sexual harassment at U.S. military bases, resulting in changes to laws and discipline of 21 Army personnel; some were faulted for allowing the prime suspect in her killing to escape and commit suicide.

On Friday, Trump thanked Guillen’s family for publicly denouncing The Atlantic’s allegations. The family came to show support for Trump as he addressed reporters at Million Air Austin, a private airplane service. “The beautiful thing is that these people [Guillen’s relatives] were willing to come out and say it didn’t happen… they didn’t have to do this,” Trump said. Guillen’s sister, Maya Guillen, and the family’s attorney, Natalie Khawam, made social media posts and TV appearances asserting that the article contained inaccuracies and misrepresentations. Trump pointed out that the Atlantic’s article was timed to appear just before the Nov. 5 election, increasing the likelihood that a certain percentage of readers would believe what the magazine reported and hold it against his candidacy. “So I talk about it because it was a terrible thing,” Trump said about the article after touching on multiple other topics, including illegal immigration and election integrity.

“Here, the injury claimed is unrelated to the conduct alleged in the complaint and the relief sought therein..”

Judge Throws Out Vote Payment Allegations Against Elon Musk (ET)

A federal judge has turned away allegations that billionaire Elon Musk violated the law when he started giving $1 million away to registered voters. California resident Aaron Greenspan in a lawsuit filed over the summer accused Musk of violating state laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. In a recent emergency motion, Greenspan, who founded the company PlainSite, said Musk’s newly announced million-dollar giveaways to voters in swing states violated federal law that prohibits paying or offering to pay people to either register to vote or vote. Greenspan said that Musk, who has endorsed former President Donald Trump, should not be “permitted to continually violate federal law and swing the election.” He asked the court to order Musk to stop violating the law.

U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney on Oct. 22 denied the motion. She pointed to a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that concluded there must be a relationship between an injury claimed in a motion for injunctive relief and the conduct asserted in the underlying lawsuit. “Here, the injury claimed is unrelated to the conduct alleged in the complaint and the relief sought therein,” Chesney said. Musk’s lawyers noted that the giveaways were only open to people who signed a petition in favor of free speech and the right to bear arms and that the petition itself says it is only open to registered voters in swing states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. “Plaintiff’s motion fails for numerous reasons, including that Plaintiff has no standing, the requested relief bears no relationship to Plaintiff’s complaint, and Plaintiff fails to meet his burden to establish a private right of action under Section 10307(c),” the lawyers said.

“Even if the Court were inclined to consider the merits, Plaintiff does not establish any of the elements required to obtain emergency relief. He fails to show he is likely to prevail on his claims; he does not establish a likelihood of imminent, particularized harm; and, rather than show that the balance of equities and public interest favor his position, he seeks a prohibited prior restraint on Musk’s political speech, including through a vague demand to enjoin ‘interfering with the voting preferences of any individual.‘ Musk’s political action committee on Thursday gave away $1 million to a Wisconsin man, and $1 million more to a Michigan man.

100% symbolic. But there will be an “overarching” digital currency, to accomodate trade.

BRICS Banknotes’ Hidden Meaning Revealed by Creator (Sp.)

The main motif of the symbolic BRICS banknotes that were unveiled at the summit in Kazan is equality and multipolarity, says Evgeny Fedorov, CEO of ARM-Registr – the company that designed the notes. He tells Sputnik that the very way a banknote’s value is denoted four times is meant to display multipolarity because “BRICS is literally a multiverse.” “It is a multipolar banknote by itself,” Fedorov explains. “This associative meaning is ingrained in the note. This is what BRICS original members are talking about, what the world is concerned with today.”

The depiction of BRICS member states’ totem animals on the 200 BRICS banknotes also holds a greater meaning, he points out. “I believe that BRICS is a Noah’s Ark of sorts, meant to save humanity from something terrible that rapidly approaches,” Fedorov says. “These totem animals are protective charms that symbolize the idea of salvation. The idea of a communal ark in which we all are sailing, that we are responsible not just for the people of Earth but for the environment and the animals as well, for everything. This is a huge metaphor and BRICS members, political leaders, journalists and regular folks may find new meanings in it.”

The banknotes also feature depictions of the “most popular symbols” of BRICS countries such as the Moscow Kremlin or the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. The banknotes will also feature depictions of BRICS members flags, Fedorov adds: one side will feature images of the BRICS founding members’ flags (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) while the reverse will be subject to change as flags of all the new BRICS members, whenever they may join the group, will be added there.

Israel declaring the response “concluded” looks like the same that Iran did.

Iranian Media & Pundits Mock ‘Nothingburger’ Israeli Attack (ZH)

The Israeli ‘retaliation’ attack against Iran, which occurred in the overnight and early morning hours, appears to be complete, with Israel’s military (IDF) having declared the response “concluded” after locations in three provinces of the Islamic Republic were hit. Some 100 Israeli warplanes were sent, primarily across Jordanian airspace, for the unprecedented attack which reportedly included strikes on key missile, drone, and other military sites – including air defense installations. However, Iranians are mocking it as if it didn’t even happen, and there’s an emerging consensus among Western pundits that this was remarkably limited in scale. The attack did not involve Iranian nuclear or oil sites, according to Israeli military officials. IDF Spokesman, Daniel Hagari, said overnight – following at least two or three waves of attacks –

“I can now confirm that we have concluded the Israeli response to Iran’s attack against Israel. We conducted targeted and precise strikes on military targets in Iran, thwarting immediate threats to the State of Israel.” And Hagari’s words concluded with the threat of new major escalation if Iran decides to respond militarily, “If the regime in Iran were to make the mistake of beginning a new round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. All those who threaten the State of Israel and seek to drag the region into wider escalation will pay a heavy price.” Local reports of explosions near Tehran emerged at around 2:15 local time, with strikes later being reported also in the Karaj, Isfahan and Shiraz areas. Israel’s military said it hit around 20 sites over the several hours across the three provinces. ”

If the regime in Iran were to make the mistake of beginning a new round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond,” the Israeli military said. Israeli media indicated that while the first wave of warplanes took out anti-air defense sites, follow-up waves targeted ballistic missile and drone manufacturing facilities, as well as launch sites. Israeli officials say the operation sought to degrade Iran’s capability to launch another attack such as occurred on April 14 and October 1. The operation was declared complete within a few hours of reports of initial explosions:

The Israeli military said at 6 a.m. that the assault had been completed, with “all goals achieved” and all aircraft returning safely home. It dubbed the campaign “Days of Repentance,” a reference to the recent Yom Kippur holiday. It said dozens of IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers and spy planes, participated in the “complex” operation some 1,600 kilometers from Israel. Iran has only confirmed that “limited damage” resulted at some bases and asserted that its air defenses countered many of the attacks, a narrative which has been rejected by Israel. Israel’s air force touted that it gave it pilots “wider freedom of aerial action in Iran” – and yet still the whole operation looked significantly less intense than Iran’s Oct. 1st attack on Israel.

“Boeing had been in contact with potential buyers, including the Blue Origin company owned by Jeff Bezos..”

Boeing Could Offload Space Business – WSJ (RT)

Boeing is considering the sale of its NASA business, including the troubled Starliner program and the support operations to the International Space Station (ISS), The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter. The corporation is expected to retain its position in some of the space-related programs, namely the Space Launch System (SLS), a super-heavy expendable launch vehicle used by NASA, the sources told the WSJ. The SLS, the key component of the agency’s Moon exploration plans, successfully performed its first flight two years ago. However, production of the rocket has faced assorted troubles and quality control issues. The less successful programs, including the ill-fated Starliner ship, designed to transport crews of up to seven to and from the ISS, could end up sold off, the sources claimed.

The spacecraft was originally planned to become operational in 2017 but has been repeatedly delayed over assorted engineering and management problems. The latest crew flight test, launched in June, resulted in partial failure after the spacecraft’s thrusters malfunctioned on approach to the ISS, and it was deemed too risky to return its astronauts aboard the ship, which ultimately returned to Earth uncrewed in September. The potential sale of its space-related assets comes as a part of the strategy of Boeing’s new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, who is seeking to streamline the corporation and cut its financial losses. However, Boeing had been in contact with potential buyers, including the Blue Origin company owned by Jeff Bezos, even before Ortberg took over in August.

The new CEO signaled the corporation was due for a major overhaul, during a call with analysts and investors earlier this week. While the production of military and commercial aircraft will remain at the company’s core, it could ditch “some things on the fringe,” Ortberg stated. “It’s going to take a lot of work. We’re not going to be able to just wave a wand and clean up these troubled contracts. We signed up to some things that are problematic,” he warned, stating that Boeing would be “better off doing less and doing it better than doing more and not doing it well.” The corporation has been experiencing an enduring financial crisis, with its defense and space projects troubled by repeated cost overruns and delays, while airliner production has effectively ground to a halt in a weeks-long machinists’ strike.

“Western countries are doing everything they can to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia..”

Zelensky Knows The Game Is Up (Shumov)

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has finally unveiled his ‘victory plan’ which is supposed to help Kiev win the war against Russia. Ukrainians themselves were the last to learn the details, but now it has been completely disclosed, except for a few classified points. And it’s probably not going to go down in history as a substantial document. Zelensky demanded that Western powers endorse his plan within three months. However, the ‘victory plan’ seems too far fetched for his backers to approve.

Point one: NATO membership
The first point states that Ukraine must receive an immediate invitation to join NATO, even as the conflict continues. While the bloc’s new Secretary General Mark Rutte insists that Kiev is likely to join at some point in the future, he has been more restrained about commenting on Zelensky’s proposals. “That doesn’t mean that I here can say I support the whole plan […] there are many issues,” he said. In fact, two issues stand out. Firstly, Ukraine is currently engaged in active combat on its own territory. This would present a significant dilemma for NATO if it were to be admitted. Strangely enough, the bloc’s own charter doesn’t contain an obligation to immediately attack the adversary of one of its members. Article 5 states that it “will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force.”

In other words, NATO would not be immediately obliged to fight for Ukraine should Kiev accede. However, if a NATO member can be attacked without consequences, it’s going to look like a paper tiger. This is where the real problem lies: Western countries are doing everything they can to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia, and admitting Kiev dramatically increases the risk of such a clash – or, at the very least, severely damages their credibility. Meanwhile, the West is already providing military aid, financial support, and training to Ukrainian troops without directly involving NATO. As for Russia, it will not tolerate Ukraine’s membership of any Western military bloc. In fact, one of the initial reasons for the February 2022 military offensive was because Moscow feared that Kiev could join such an alliance. Thus, accepting the first point of Zelensky’s plan would symbolize the end of any potential diplomatic solution, forcing all parties to recognize that negotiations are not a possibility.

“To be clear, the council is not only interested in Ukraine and Russia. They’re happy to embroil Americans in a larger war wherever they can.”

The Atlantic Council Has Big Plans For A War Between The US And Iran (Smith)

Globalists as an organized entity have a habit of shifting their efforts between various false-front institutions in order to avoid significant scrutiny. For example, in 2020 they ramped up the fear machine on the covid pandemic and the World Economic Forum took a lead role in that effort. Klaus Schwab was all over the media using covid as an excuse to promote every authoritarian measure imaginable. When that agenda failed (lockdowns blocked, mask mandates ignored, vaccine passports defeated and the CDC caught inflating vaccination numbers), the WEF and Klaus Schwab conveniently disappeared from the media radar. When globalists tried to permanently establish ESG as a way of life for corporations, they introduced the Council For Inclusive Capitalism, run by Lynn de Rothschild and partnered with the Vatican. When ESG was exposed for what it really is (a bridge to full bore communism in which corporations enforce far left social engineering), the CIC vanished from the limelight as quickly as they appeared.

That said, there is one globalist group that has consistently been in the background during most of these operations – The Atlantic Council. Whenever there’s a propaganda push in play to misdirect the western public, whenever there’s a policy initiative to take away your freedoms, whenever there’s a regional war that might explode into a world war, I always end up finding the fingerprints of the Atlantic Council. The council was deeply involved in covid propaganda from 2020 onward and they also have their hands in climate change propaganda, but their bread and butter is regional proxy wars. In my recent article ‘Globalists Are Trying To Escalate The Ukraine War Into WWIII Before The US Election’, I outlined how the council is deeply interwoven into the escalation of the Ukraine war through their Eurasia Center and their Scowcroft Center. They have been stoking conflict in the region for at least a decade with the intention of drawing NATO forces into a direct confrontation with Russia. In a report published by the Atlantic Council in 2014 titled ‘A Roadmap for Ukraine: Delivering on the Promise of the Maidan’, the group notes:

“Last fall, as Ukrainians massed on the Maidan to demand a better government and closer ties to Europe, the Atlantic Council began to mobilize on Ukraine. An Atlantic Council delegation visited Warsaw and Kyiv in March to map out our strategy, and during the visit of Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk to the Council that same month, we launched a one hundred- day campaign to galvanize the transatlantic community behind Ukraine’s democratic future in Europe. As the crisis worsened, we convened at the highest levels, making vital connections between Ukrainian, American, and European policymakers and thought leaders. We deployed our substantial expertise to launch “red team” exercises that anticipated Russia’s actions and outlined strategies to respond to likely scenarios. Our rapid response working groups (“tiger teams”) made recommendations on issues fundamental to Ukraine’s success. An Atlantic Council delegation delivered this report, which brings all of these findings together, to Prime Minister Yatsenyuk and other leaders in Kyiv the first week of July. The findings are also being shared with American and European policymakers…”

On Ukraine’s security policy, the Council advised both NATO and Ukraine officials. The document goes on to outline how NATO could covertly and overtly engage with Ukraine to strengthen their chances of joining with the EU over time; a move which Vladimir Putin claims was one of the very reasons for his invasion of the Donbas. Finally, the paper described how NATO could foster a proxy war against Russia through Ukraine without directly declaring war on Russia. As the Council states: “Russia’s aggression provides an opportunity of strategic clarity and urgency that should be used to expedite building a robust, modern, and capable Ukrainian defense and security establishment…” I believe the Atlantic Council is a root instigator behind every globalist scheme to trigger a larger war between the East and the West. Their ideal scenario seems to be the creation of a proxy conflict that acts as a first domino in a chain that leads to world war, a bit like DARPA’s “Linchpin Theory” which I have written about in the past. To be clear, the council is not only interested in Ukraine and Russia. They’re happy to embroil Americans in a larger war wherever they can.

    in the event Mr. Trump understands who our real adversaries are he is not disclosing the reality to his supporters.
    in the event Mr. Trump does not understand who our real adversaries are: lipstick on the pig

    The comments that Mr. Trump made about Issis early in the interview are quite troubling.
    One only need look at the history of Saddam Hussein to understand Issis.
    A friend of a friend, an enemy of an enemy and the creation and destruction of surrogates in the sense of geopolitics is riba.

    Mr. Trump should be elected. I do not believe we understand what is in store for us. Russiagate is only the prelude to the next short period of time.

    ““It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.” —George Orwell, 1984

    Why are you making George Orwell right???

    Btw, I woke up with the knowledge that the war is over. We won on 25 October, 2024. Immediately ran into a psychic who said the same thing. Take it for what it’s worth, I don’t see anything out there, election, Kamala missing, interview, etc. But wars don’t turn on and off like a movie, on and off like a light. Even after steps on steps: the war was won, then we sit down and sign, then we clean up people who haven’t heard in Germany. Then we carefully test and demobilize, how many months until we go home? Oh it was many years, really. You could say we’re still there. So on what day was the war over? VE Day? We picked one, and you should pick one, but in the thick of it it’s hard to see and be sure. So.

    “Rogan-Trump podcast”

    I thought it was boring. Engaging, but boring, as nothing was said. Confirms to me that Dum-Dum is a mascot and they don’t tell anything about the big plans. Which is what you should do, of course, but they’re all like “Trump”!!! HE is the one!”… no he is not. If he vanishes, we’ll move on immediately and continue to restore our country with some other narrative and front man.

    Like so many things, I guess this matters to people, it really means something to them, and I respect that, their excitement causes motivation, is contagious, shows the momentum. But means nothing to me and doesn’t change anything on the logical plane.

    Maybe it’s something completely different: this is the VE Day we point to as the end of the old media. CNN, CBS, all sidelined, pointless. Elections and debates are run on eg Rogan now. And that is almost certainly true, but again, that comes in slowly like a tide, and we pick one arbitrary wave as the top point.


    “• Over 80% of Americans Support Voter ID and Proof of Citizenship Laws (Turley)

    This was said in Rogan, but there’s no new information. No one can come up with any reason you wouldn’t have ID for voting. Not a good reason, not a bad reason, no reason, and when 80% of the country are in agreement on it.

    So essentially everybody knows it and we all ignore it. But since voting is mainly how you wouldn’t ignore it, it’s pretty difficult to remove. I’m sure people on the beaches all around the world will be happy to advise me on who we should shoot to straighten this right out using violence and Civil War. As long as it’s somebody else’s problem, I’ll advise all day. If I don’t have to risk anything, lift a finger, then of course it’s a good idea.

    “a federal judge is ordering Virginia to reinstate individuals who have self-identified as noncitizens”

    Same as above. There is no possible explanation except election fraud.

    “• Appeals Court: Mississippi Law Allowing Ballots After Election Day Illegal (ET)

    There’s no dealing with these guys, they need to be jailed, trialed, and hung. Yes, we can’t have this, because then it’s Election Week, Election Month, Election Year. Stfu. We’ll never know if the President is the real President because “Limitalism” there is no threshold, no borders, boundaries, or rulz, and we haven’t really gotten the State’s election count FULLY in, by January 2026.

    But IF you do this instead of hanging them by the neck until dead, then they will just put all the Red votes in a truck and “Find” them the day after. LAWS DON’T FIX MORALITY. However, scaring the h—l out them does real wonders! Get them by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow! Criminals are weak and don’t have self-directed morality. They merely do a cost-benefit at this moment and act accordingly. If the penalty is basically zero – like for Banks over the last 30 years – then obviously it would be stupid NOT to commit the crime.

    “Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcomes.”

    No, we cannot legally have Election Year. If nothing else, the Constitution says “Election Day”. The End.

    “I think anybody that runs for president should take, they should give them a test,” Trump said.”

    And as Constitution, above, Rogan immediately pointed out the test would be unconstitutional. However, they could “Voluntarily” take them, as who wouldn’t do so unless you were indeed incompetent? So it takes a meathead boxer now to tell Presidents and officials what the Constitution is? Well good, yeah, WE are the government, WE the People are the last word in what is Constitutional. They can’t do jack if we all act like this.

    “• Bravo, WaPo: Ending Media Endorsements Could Help Restore Trust (Turley)

    I guess. This isn’t actually a problem, as papers were all political for 200 years. You had the “Democrat” X, paper, “Toledo Democrat” or something. And the “Objectiveness” was a lie, as with Walter Cronkite, etc, very cleverly more refined hiding and presenting of facts. It might be better just to know we’re “Jacobin”, we’re “American Conservative”, But it requires them saying so, so the audience knows, and still

    NOT LYING.

    Is that too hard? Should I repeat that last part, I know it sounds complicated. If you LIE in a paper, generally that’s going to be a Libel offense because someone was materially disenfranchised. So personally I prefer objective papers, but that’s no wall against mischief. The Mischief gets worse because it’s sneaky. NPR.

    ““The biggest mistake I made, was I picked… a few people that I should not have picked..”
    He needs to ask for advice on his picks. RFK and Musk are good for that.

    In a permanent bureaucracy, there’s no one you CAN pick. They all think alike, and they either are insiders, or they don’t know the job. Suppose you bring in a competent insider: then the LOWER insiders will stovepipe, stonewall, foot-drag, refuse, etc. Move down the next level, next thing, right to the Janitor. So EVERY employee, all 30 million of them, will do EVERYTHING, using your money, their paychecks, to fight and stop you. As we’re already seen. Only firing a stunning proportion of them and scaring the h—l out of the others will work. Thus, defund the government. They have no legal mandate anyway.

    “• Trump, Former White House Staffers Reject John Kelly’s ‘Fascist’ Claims (ET)

    How often do you beat your wife? Here we are, the Alt Media, wasting air talking about something that never happened. We are the ones putting “Trump” and “Hitler” in the same sentence for them. Don’t.

    “• Boeing Could Offload Space Business – WSJ (RT)

    Sounds reasonable for their situation. Can we offload all the other parts out of Monopoly status? Like spin back out Martin Marietta, Hughes, Douglas, etc until we have a competition ecosystem again? A: no. This article clearly demonstrates we may only sell one monopoly to ANOTHER monopoly, because: Monopoly. Monopoly = Capitalism, where we have no competition and no price discovery.

    Adding a new car company or a new rocket company might make new cars and rockets that actually work and make the existing companies look embarrassed.

    Zelensky Knows The Game Is Up (Shumov)
    Point one: NATO membership

    The Plan is: THE UNITED STATES MOBILIZES, ATTACKS, AND KILLS RUSSIA, while we all watch. The end.

    What do you mean you won’t do this plan? I wrote it right here on this paper.

    “If the wind industry continues with its boats, noise, and vibrations, it will make the North Atlantic right whale extinct.”

    As the environmentalists all knew already, but kept doing it anyway, chopping down mountains and causing forests of windmill blades to be created that cannot be disposed. Not a day goes by but an environmentalist isn’t lighting up an army of diesel double-wide, oversized trucks to port unrecyclable wind blades from 1,000 acre paved factories, to sites where the forests were leveled for windmills that last 12 years.

    #Logic!

    “I feel like they don’t have the knowledge of how of, like, how it works”

    The little Jungle Children don’t know how to reed good and do other stuff gooder too. Notice she says “I FEEEEEEL” this is true. That’s directly saying she has no facts, hasn’t bothered, can’t be arsed, but it FEEELS truthy, so it must be so.

    Yeah, I know, and I don’t know if what drives me crazy is that they’re so racist, so wrong, or that when you bring it up, they’re so shameless and unembarrassed about it.

    “What sets Brianne Dressen apart”

    Late in this clip she brings up a key point: Reagan’s Vaccine law is totally illegal. How? It was duly passed, etc. Well, as she says, it takes away your Constitutional rights, which cannot be done without an amendment. So it’s legal up to a point, but as soon as they refuse to allow you to speak, assemble, etc, it’s illegal. Which point is really close, and most of that law would be shut off. I think it’s illegal to begin with, but this gives a large, heavy wing.

    “Protect whale play”

    Yes, by shutting down windmills, or changing them substantially.


    Sargon as he’s online. Slow plodding stuff about the Pro-British, Pro-Patriot rally they had, where the counterprotestors were PAID to show up and try to make trouble. Picking only Antifa black block, faces covered ‘cuz, they gonna be so peaceful n stuff. So they’re calling the people who are Proud of Britain, British history, and Churchill, they are “Hitler”. Somehow this is even more Ironic than calling Putin Hitler, head of “Russia” (appropriate historical stand in for the Soviet Union) which beat probably more than 2/3 of Hitler, with every other nation adding up to 5% each.

    Anyway, I didn’t get the minute mark, but you’ll appreciate as a Brit he says, “All I want are ruling Lords that don’t actively hate us. Want us to be killed. Only think of us as their personal property to be preserved” etc. Of course he’s half-joking, but the point is THAT would be about twice as good as now for them. To MERELY go back to say, 1750 rules.

    Further to my recent comment about mossad 5th gen psy ops.

    It is not essential for said agents to be based in tel Aviv. It is more than likely the case, that one of said brigades are based in Perth, where the weather is nice and sunny but it is less dangerous for agents to carry out their Intel comms in fear of being distracted by bombs and missile attacks. They can then throw another shrimp on the barby and drink some castlemain xxxx in peace, knowing that their bank account is being filled by the five eyes Intel community coffers.

    That’s what I’d do, being human. Although I am less sure of the pedigree of such people.

    In a permanent bureaucracy, there’s no one you CAN pick. They all think alike, and they either are insiders, or they don’t know the job. Suppose you bring in a competent insider: then the LOWER insiders will stovepipe, stonewall, foot-drag, refuse, etc. Move down the next level, next thing, right to the Janitor. So EVERY employee, all 30 million of them, will do EVERYTHING, using your money, their paychecks, to fight and stop you. As we’re already seen. Only firing a stunning proportion of them and scaring the h—l out of the others will work.

    I worked in corporate bureaucracy for decades. I found that having contact with the people you serve keeps you in touch with reality. They ask you questions you have to answer – questions to do with the actual issue at hand. Or they don’t want to get off the phone until you’ve successfully helped them, stuff like that.

    I’ve had quite a few good supervisors who were an honor to work for. I’ve also had supervisors I would say are Lawful Evil – horrible people, but not disconnected from reality. Still making mostly right decisions related to the job.

    And then there are the others. A weird thing happens with a lot of them. You come to them for a decision (because you’re required to) or you have to interface with them to get something done because they are empowered to do it and you are not. Basically, there’s a gating factor in your job and the gate is a supervisor. Fine.

    I’ve had quite a few interactions in which I explain the situation and they tell me to do the obviously wrong thing. Something that will cause a major meltdown on the call. To no one’s benefit. Often I can see this situation coming – they seem to cross their eyes slightly, look at your left ear instead of your face, and take on either a slightly sing song or monotone vocal tone.

    First I pitch a good solution to them, then I ask questions – why this other course of action? – then I caution them about its effects. If they insist – and often they do – then I warn them “okay, I will do my absolute best to sell them on this course of action, but I predict this will blow up on me. Please be ready to field the resulting escalation request/demand. I will do everything I can to contain and prevent that.”

    I get back on the phone, try to put a good face on absolute bullshit (maybe while trying to steer or hint the customer into calling back to get someone else or taking a moment to think of their own course of action – I am trapped by my consult with this supervisor – I cannot directly contradict them and you NEVER openly tell someone to end the call) But often they cannot take the hint and demand to speak to someone above them.

    With a knowing look on my face, I swivel my chair around to face the supervisor’s desk, start getting up…. the desk is empty. I look outside the window at the parking lot – their CAR is gone. There’s 4 hours left in their shift.

    They fucking immediately took unscheduled PTO to leave me stuck with this call, NOT field the escalation to explain and support their own decision, and leave some other better supervisor to deal with their shit. Fucking hell.

    This has happened MANY times in the call center over the course of 2 decades. It’s kind of incomprehensible. If you don’t care so much that you want to leave the building, why not just rubber-stamp my own solution? You can relax, go on autopilot AND save up your PTO for something more worthwhile than the ultimate call center sin – CALL AVOIDANCE.

    These are always NOT part of some larger top-down initiative. There are no written or spoken orders. It is always sort of random… “creative” in nature, a one-off. I’ve found if I belabor the point at all, I get told this is the way to ALWAYS do it as opposed to this one time. And then, over the course of time, I discover this is an unwritten “policy” for JUST me. No other team members are aware of it, have been coached on it, etc. THIS is the kind of thing that happens in a bureaucracy!

    For customer facing people in the bureaucracy, it is easier and less stressful when our actions are aligned with our customer and the company’s interests. It becomes super stressful when orders, policies, or systems get in the way of that because we cannot just easily flow through each call and through our day. Often, we will describe impediments to our job as creating large amounts of undue stress. Pff. Sneer. Peasants are SUPPOSED to be miserable. Can’t hear your technical suggestion to easily fix a thing because I’ve decided to only hear that you’re being lazy while stupid.

    One concrete example – in Tier II Business Tech, I was troubleshooting a problem, got to the end of the process doc, and it was still happening. The remaining step was… Transfer to Tier II Bus Tech.

    I’d often done this troubleshooting in my previous dept and wondered what magical next things Tier 2 did and why couldn’t I?

    This supervisor was widely hailed as “Our best, most technically knowledgeable supervisor here in Business Tech!” She often thought of new metrics and requirements for her underlings that were NOT DELIVERABLES to her manager. Extra shit she could wave in front of everyone “I am the best sup at x thing, y thing!” …that no one ever asked her for. And was stupid.

    Anyway, it was a long document with about 20 different problem scenarios for a particular product we were supporting. She told me to “continue following the troubleshooting document” by running through the next process down on the sheet which had NOTHING TO DO with the prior one that was relevant.

    I pointed out that it was different, pointed out that it was separated by a divider, that it had its own TITLE and clearly spoke to completely different subject matter, so she just continually ordered me, repeating “It’s the NEXT THING.” (alphabetically…)

    I got off her team as quickly as I could (took a good 6 months) but I ended up working in the same dept as her for a decade. She had an inability to recognize what was relevant and what was not. What was important, what was not. What was worth a whole bunch of energy, time, and stress and what was not. She always seemed to be VERY busy, but I never noticed any deep technical knowledge.

    She should have been placed in a trebuchet and launched at the moon, not put in charge of other humans and had the fate of 1,000’s of customers pass through her hands.

    There’s usually a contingent – larger than you would think in a crappy call center – that wants to do a good job. You would THINK people in a call center are cannon fodder, the dregs of society, but actually there are quite a number of decent, reasonably intelligent people. (a neighbor of mine was getting abuse from a customer who started demanding “You will address me as DOCTOR!” …having a PhD himself, my neighbor who said, “Very well. You may also address ME as doctor….”) I could not understand what the customer said next, but I heard it coming out of his headset from where I sat, heavily distorted from the customer overdriving the speaker.

    Aside from the actively good people, the majority would STILL like to do a good job. Because they have to deal with the customers. Being able to get through the systems without getting stuck or getting error messages, able to get customers to resolutions and OFF THE PHONE are desirable. It’s nice to have a smooth, problem-free day. Even the totally amoral folks PREFER this.

    Then there are the total fuckups. Who actively fuck things up. New guy we had on the team either typed in wrong info or wasn’t listening properly. Was getting “confused” because the account he was looking at didn’t seem to be the one in question. Store wanted to perform an upgrade – move the # over to a new phone, enter the customer into a new 2yr contract.

    So he turns to us, says nothing matches “So ah, go ahead and do the change on this, RIGHT?” like really REALLY pushing for us to say yes just do things to whatever is in front of you. Like it really MATTERED to him that he do THIS exactly THIS. No of course we (fellow inbound call reps) cussed him out, asked him wtf he was smoking.

    There’s a contingent of these at the lowest level of every bureaucracy. Why they actively fuck things up I do not know. Sometimes they connect with the awful supervisors and become their pets. I’ve never been able to make sense of it.

    There ARE actual cannon fodder humans that come on board with very limited capabilities, but I find if they have basic goodwill and can identify when they need help, even those guys are okay.

    Had the VP of Customer Care come in for a skip-level. 8 randomly chosen reps in a room with the VP.

    Me, I am too stupid to not just blurt out the truth, so I end up telling her about a bunch of broken things, how long they have been going on, how we try to fix them but generally nobody listens, point out that the company would benefit from fixes not just customers.

    VP registers concern, horror. A month and a half later, a 3rd party contractor has been brought in to set up a whole new parallel system of feedback. (why not just monitor and make the existing feedback system work?) The number of team meetings is doubled, there’s a format adopted for these meetings to get feedback from reps, there’s training on how to DO the meetings.

    Within 2 or 3 months it has totally mutated.

    It turns into – we have a specific answer we want you to give us, but instead of telling you what we want, we want you to come to it yourselves. Talk amongst yourselves until you say to us what we want you to say. Your supervisor will try to hint, but is not allowed to say. 30-60 minute sessions of “No, that’s not it, try again”

    The fucking middle managers had completely disabled our existing feedback system. The VP of Care tried to create a parallel uncorrupted feedback system, and those fuckers turned it into an even WORSE way to pipe bullshit down to us. In addition to ordering us through process documents, they wanted their ideas to spontaneously come out of our mouths.

    No no, you don’t get it, it has to be REAL you have to do it SPONTANEOUSLY, of your own “free will.” SAY IT. I want to see my bullshit spewing from your mouth balletically without my having to tell you what it is.

    I think if you simply grabbed from the top 70% of customer care workers in call centers and slotted them into the govt bureaucracy, you’d see a VAST improvement in government. They’re just used to making things happen AND used to doing it despite massive amounts of interference and bullshit.

    Have others around here noticed a peculiar little thing about @aspnaz that is just so friggin obvious that it might easily go undiscerned within the overwhelming volume of his other lies. It is the WAY that he lies. He lies like a Democrat. He lies like Kamala Harris. He lies like only a dyed-in-the-wool PROFESSIONAL liar lies.

    He just flat out says the exact opposite of the truth, over and over and over again, ad nauseum, until you’re almost ready to agree with it just to make it STOP. He tells absolute falsehoods straight up, without rationale, support or explanation, as though expecting people to assume that there must be some explanation or justification for it. But NOPE, there isn’t. His bullshit is just pure invention of wild stuff that just ain’t true.Pure and unremediated LIE. Take it or leave it.

    His technique reminds me of how Karl Marx and Joseph Goebbels advised how to do it, which makes a certain amount of sense in his case. He’s trying to get people to believe (or at least give PARTIAL credence to) things that are false, and to do that he has to LIE, and so he gets right down to business.

    For example, I have explained in detail and at length that I utterly and absolutely CONDEMN the vile evil and inhuman genocide being perpetrated by Zionist Israel and it’s equally vile supporters (the United States government and it’s Zionist Blob puppet masters in particular). But @aspnaz pointedly chooses to ignore my words as though I had never written them, and accuses me of siding with the Satanic Zionists bastards who are murdering women and children in Gaza.

    That’s interesting.

    Why would @aspnaz do that? You may have also noticed that he is doing the same thing to Dr D.

    That’s interesting, too, and leads to the same probing question of why in the world would anyone want to do that either?

    I have a hunch as to why. Can anyone guess that that might be?

    Maybe something along the lines of @aspnaz being a paid Commie agent who wants to kill a lot of people. Hmmmm. Could be.

    Well, yeah. Anytime someone won’t have a discussion on a discussion forum but DOES generate a lot of text, that’s a red flag.

    Sometimes literally a red flag ha

    Dr D being the most obvious – at the very least, there’s nuance to his stance on Israel? It is obvious from reading him, it is not one-dimensional?

    So if I wanted to take a run at D, I’d grab some actual idea he expressed and work on that? Ask for clarification? Say how I understand it and counter-argue, wait to see if he clarifies it because I got him wrong or comes back to give some supporting points?

    Like, does he have an idea you want to prove wrong or do you just want to fling mud at his character generally?

    You know what I heard about her? I heard she’s a slut. …why so Mean Girlz? Make your argument.

    A *caricatural* description, from far away from the US.

    Two tribes are facing off against each other, which has been engineered by the US PTB and US ‘traditions’, rules and regs. (e.g. > no valid 3rd party candidates for the Prez. can ever emerge.) Sure, there are many who recognize the idiocy, many ‘Independents’, many who are checked out, and so on.

    Group One Harris is composed of the lower-to-upper middle class who are divorced from production, they are in the ‘professions’ — law, med, health, media, culture, educ. Unis, arts, internet Cos. Big Corps, etc. – or hope to join so… They don’t collect rubbish, sweep the streets, lay bricks, run buses, check meters, work in an arms factory (what no ?) etc. etc.

    The split is of course muddy, what about a nurse who sees real suffering and knows what causes it?

    This group is steered by the \inclusion/ propaganda, which admittedly has had tremendous effect, LGTB ppl, immigrants, ppl from ‘other cultures’, ‘fatties’, the ‘disabled’ and more, are seduced by ‘equality’ and you be different you do you we love you and now you vote for us stuff.

    Setting aside immigration (a world-wide complex issue, Kalergi plan, exploitation of cheap labor, and more..) and other, many of the Group One adherents don’t perceive that they have been granted a kind of superiority status by ersatz moves.

    Some of the privileges of the Top Upper Classes (1850 or so > Europe) which guaranteed that their members could do as they wanted sexually, but the lower classes would be condemned, sometimes even put to death for sodomy, could be abrogated, as who cares what the deplorables do. That mech. of control could be given up with NO LOSS. And could gather votes! (About 4 – 15% depending on place, etc.)

    So, the whole storm around that aspect of private behavior was created to have ppl concentrate on non-economic issues, feel ‘empowered’ etc. and adhere to One Party.

    Plus, all big Ad Agencies, their clients, wanted, as usual, to segment the population so as to be able to target one or another group with ‘personalised ads’ in an open manner, with male homosexuals (often ‘richer’ and childless) being the first group on the radar.

    Group Two Trump…I have run out of steam for now …but you all get the picture.

    Fr. Vigano Warns Catholics Not to Vote for “Infernal Monster” Harris

    Fr. Vigano Warns Catholics Not to Vote for “Infernal Monster” Harris

    “The choice is between a conservative President, who is paying with his very life for his fight against the deep state, and an infernal monster who obeys Satan,” Vigano wrote. “For a Catholic, there can be no question: voting for Kamala Harris is morally inadmissible and constitutes a very grave sin. Nor is it morally possible to abstain because in this war, declaring oneself neutral means allying oneself with the enemy.”

    Voting for Trump “means firmly distancing ourselves from an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, and anti-human vision of society. It means stopping those who want to create a hellish dystopia that is even worse than the one announced by George Orwell.”
    Vigano, the former archbishop of Ulpiana, was excommunicated for opposing the Pope’s leftist changes to the church. Mostly, the Pope did it to make his voice less important.

    ““It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.” —George Orwell, 1984

    Why are you making George Orwell right???

    Btw, I woke up with the knowledge that the war is over. We won on 25 October, 2024. Immediately ran into a psychic who said the same thing. Take it for what it’s worth, I don’t see anything out there, election, Kamala missing, interview, etc. But wars don’t turn on and off like a movie, on and off like a light. Even after steps on steps: the war was won, then we sit down and sign, then we clean up people who haven’t heard in Germany. Then we carefully test and demobilize, how many months until we go home? Oh it was many years, really. You could say we’re still there. So on what day was the war over? VE Day? We picked one, and you should pick one, but in the thick of it it’s hard to see and be sure. So.

    “Rogan-Trump podcast”

    I thought it was boring. Engaging, but boring, as nothing was said. Confirms to me that Dum-Dum is a mascot and they don’t tell anything about the big plans. Which is what you should do, of course, but they’re all like “Trump”!!! HE is the one!”… no he is not. If he vanishes, we’ll move on immediately and continue to restore our country with some other narrative and front man.

    Like so many things, I guess this matters to people, it really means something to them, and I respect that, their excitement causes motivation, is contagious, shows the momentum. But means nothing to me and doesn’t change anything on the logical plane.

    Maybe it’s something completely different: this is the VE Day we point to as the end of the old media. CNN, CBS, all sidelined, pointless. Elections and debates are run on eg Rogan now. And that is almost certainly true, but again, that comes in slowly like a tide, and we pick one arbitrary wave as the top point.

    “• Over 80% of Americans Support Voter ID and Proof of Citizenship Laws (Turley)

    This was said in Rogan, but there’s no new information. No one can come up with any reason you wouldn’t have ID for voting. Not a good reason, not a bad reason, no reason, and when 80% of the country are in agreement on it.

    So essentially everybody knows it and we all ignore it. But since voting is mainly how you wouldn’t ignore it, it’s pretty difficult to remove. I’m sure people on the beaches all around the world will be happy to advise me on who we should shoot to straighten this right out using violence and Civil War. As long as it’s somebody else’s problem, I’ll advise all day. If I don’t have to risk anything, lift a finger, then of course it’s a good idea.

    “a federal judge is ordering Virginia to reinstate individuals who have self-identified as noncitizens”

    Same as above. There is no possible explanation except election fraud.

    “• Appeals Court: Mississippi Law Allowing Ballots After Election Day Illegal (ET)

    There’s no dealing with these guys, they need to be jailed, trialed, and hung. Yes, we can’t have this, because then it’s Election Week, Election Month, Election Year. Stfu. We’ll never know if the President is the real President because “Limitalism” there is no threshold, no borders, boundaries, or rulz, and we haven’t really gotten the State’s election count FULLY in, by January 2026.

    But IF you do this instead of hanging them by the neck until dead, then they will just put all the Red votes in a truck and “Find” them the day after. LAWS DON’T FIX MORALITY. However, scaring the h—l out them does real wonders! Get them by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow! Criminals are weak and don’t have self-directed morality. They merely do a cost-benefit at this moment and act accordingly. If the penalty is basically zero – like for Banks over the last 30 years – then obviously it would be stupid NOT to commit the crime.

    “Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcomes.”

    No, we cannot legally have Election Year. If nothing else, the Constitution says “Election Day”. The End.

    “I think anybody that runs for president should take, they should give them a test,” Trump said.”

    And as Constitution, above, Rogan immediately pointed out the test would be unconstitutional. However, they could “Voluntarily” take them, as who wouldn’t do so unless you were indeed incompetent? So it takes a meathead boxer now to tell Presidents and officials what the Constitution is? Well good, yeah, WE are the government, WE the People are the last word in what is Constitutional. They can’t do jack if we all act like this.

    “• Bravo, WaPo: Ending Media Endorsements Could Help Restore Trust (Turley)

    I guess. This isn’t actually a problem, as papers were all political for 200 years. You had the “Democrat” X, paper, “Toledo Democrat” or something. And the “Objectiveness” was a lie, as with Walter Cronkite, etc, very cleverly more refined hiding and presenting of facts. It might be better just to know we’re “Jacobin”, we’re “American Conservative”, But it requires them saying so, so the audience knows, and still

    NOT LYING.

    Is that too hard? Should I repeat that last part, I know it sounds complicated. If you LIE in a paper, generally that’s going to be a Libel offense because someone was materially disenfranchised. So personally I prefer objective papers, but that’s no wall against mischief. The Mischief gets worse because it’s sneaky. NPR.

    ““The biggest mistake I made, was I picked… a few people that I should not have picked..”
    He needs to ask for advice on his picks. RFK and Musk are good for that.

    In a permanent bureaucracy, there’s no one you CAN pick. They all think alike, and they either are insiders, or they don’t know the job. Suppose you bring in a competent insider: then the LOWER insiders will stovepipe, stonewall, foot-drag, refuse, etc. Move down the next level, next thing, right to the Janitor. So EVERY employee, all 30 million of them, will do EVERYTHING, using your money, their paychecks, to fight and stop you. As we’re already seen. Only firing a stunning proportion of them and scaring the h—l out of the others will work. Thus, defund the government. They have no legal mandate anyway.

    “• Trump, Former White House Staffers Reject John Kelly’s ‘Fascist’ Claims (ET)

    How often do you beat your wife? Here we are, the Alt Media, wasting air talking about something that never happened. We are the ones putting “Trump” and “Hitler” in the same sentence for them. Don’t.

    “• Boeing Could Offload Space Business – WSJ (RT)

    Sounds reasonable for their situation. Can we offload all the other parts out of Monopoly status? Like spin back out Martin Marietta, Hughes, Douglas, etc until we have a competition ecosystem again? A: no. This article clearly demonstrates we may only sell one monopoly to ANOTHER monopoly, because: Monopoly. Monopoly = Capitalism, where we have no competition and no price discovery.

    Adding a new car company or a new rocket company might make new cars and rockets that actually work and make the existing companies look embarrassed.

    Zelensky Knows The Game Is Up (Shumov)
    Point one: NATO membership

    The Plan is: THE UNITED STATES MOBILIZES, ATTACKS, AND KILLS RUSSIA, while we all watch. The end.

    What do you mean you won’t do this plan? I wrote it right here on this paper.

    “If the wind industry continues with its boats, noise, and vibrations, it will make the North Atlantic right whale extinct.”

    As the environmentalists all knew already, but kept doing it anyway, chopping down mountains and causing forests of windmill blades to be created that cannot be disposed. Not a day goes by but an environmentalist isn’t lighting up an army of diesel double-wide, oversized trucks to port unrecyclable wind blades from 1,000 acre paved factories, to sites where the forests were leveled for windmills that last 12 years.

    #Logic!

    “I feel like they don’t have the knowledge of how of, like, how it works”

    The little Jungle Children don’t know how to reed good and do other stuff gooder too. Notice she says “I FEEEEEEL” this is true. That’s directly saying she has no facts, hasn’t bothered, can’t be arsed, but it FEEELS truthy, so it must be so.

    Yeah, I know, and I don’t know if what drives me crazy is that they’re so racist, so wrong, or that when you bring it up, they’re so shameless and unembarrassed about it.

    “What sets Brianne Dressen apart”

    Late in this clip she brings up a key point: Reagan’s Vaccine law is totally illegal. How? It was duly passed, etc. Well, as she says, it takes away your Constitutional rights, which cannot be done without an amendment. So it’s legal up to a point, but as soon as they refuse to allow you to speak, assemble, etc, it’s illegal. Which point is really close, and most of that law would be shut off. I think it’s illegal to begin with, but this gives a large, heavy wing.

    “Protect whale play”

    Yes, by shutting down windmills, or changing them substantially.

    Sargon as he’s online. Slow plodding stuff about the Pro-British, Pro-Patriot rally they had, where the counterprotestors were PAID to show up and try to make trouble. Picking only Antifa black block, faces covered ‘cuz, they gonna be so peaceful n stuff. So they’re calling the people who are Proud of Britain, British history, and Churchill, they are “Hitler”. Somehow this is even more Ironic than calling Putin Hitler, head of “Russia” (appropriate historical stand in for the Soviet Union) which beat probably more than 2/3 of Hitler, with every other nation adding up to 5% each.

    Anyway, I didn’t get the minute mark, but you’ll appreciate as a Brit he says, “All I want are ruling Lords that don’t actively hate us. Want us to be killed. Only think of us as their personal property to be preserved” etc. Of course he’s half-joking, but the point is THAT would be about twice as good as now for them. To MERELY go back to say, 1750 rules.

    Weird punji pit trap…
    Small Business Owners are branded “terrorists” by Federal Government

    Small Business Owners are branded “terrorists” by Federal Government

    In just over 2 months every small business owner in America is required to be registered with the Federal Government’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The Biden/Harris administration rolled out this unconstitutional law, known as the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), on January 1st, 2024.

    The CTA requires all small business owners in the United States, with revenue under 5 million and less than 20 full time employees to self-report to FinCEN, housed under the Department of Treasury.

    According FinCEN’s website:

    “FinCEN is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Director of FinCEN is appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and reports to the Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. “

    Your failure to report into this terrorism and intelligence database by January 1st, 2025 means that you will be subjected to fines of $591 per day and you could face a penalty of up to 2 years in federal prison. Small business owners in the United States could be jailed for up to 2 years for committing no crime, other than failing to turn over their personal, protected data to Big Brother.

    Redlettermedia goes over all the garbage being dumped on us as “entertainment”

    One interesting thing they point out as an aside – there’s more “content” than there is people to watch it. The entire populace simply does not have enough time to watch the shows.

    And there’s so many, nobody can even notice if there is a good one. And the streaming services don’t even promote them! You finally find something you like but it is already cancelled. Or you’re confronted with wading through 1000 hours of garbage to get 8 hours that you enjoy.

    And you have to spend $100’s a MONTH just to have access to watch if a good show pops up. Fucking CHIK-FIL-A is starting a streaming service!!!!

    Nevermind. I switched to watching free black & white movies on Youtube and it is awesome – well-written, likeable characters, different plots EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Not only that, you would not believe how many 30’s-50’s movies have women doing all kinds of professional or adventurous things with NOBODY having a freakout “Oh Emm Gee how did you get out of your manacles in the kitchen!!! WHERE DID YOU FIND SHOES???!?!!?” gobsmacked everyday citizen faints, brought to, sees the woman in a suit again, faints again….

    All these women are going about doing everything under the sun freely. For the Halloween season I’ve been watching old horror films. In one of them, a college girl decides to go to a spooky town with a scary history (full of, sort of vampire-satanists, it turns out) The 2 most significant male authorities in her life advise her very VERY strongly not to go. She goes anyway.

    They have a scene where both of them are sitting in a living room together after she’s gone. “well, we did everything we could to convince her, but I guess there’ just nothing else we could do. Because she’s decided.”

    Decided!?!??!!! What was it like in the movie theatre when they reached this scene back in black & white movie times? Was this like that SNL skit where they tell Chris Farley they switched out the normal coffee for Folgers Crystals? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdQKVDUBu2g Total berserk mayhem? Did people lose their minds at the inconceivability of it? no, no. Ma’am you can’t just DO that. Not only are you held in physical bondage by Patriarchy, but there’s a cultural matrix pod you are trapped in that robs you mentally of all agency due to your internalized misogyny! noooo. you cannot just DO things you want, we have to do a struggle session, shave the sides of your head, there’s a whole process here you are skipping!

    So anyway, it’s great seeing witty repartee between the sexes with both sides holding their own and women going around freely doing anything they want, sometimes being the hero or the smart one, without being the least bit “strong” I never, ever encounter “strong” women in black and white films, they just go around being awesome. Occasionally, they are the deliciously, unmitigatedly evil villain, with no backstory that makes them ackshully good.

    But back to the redlettermedia tsunami of unwatchable content – both in volume and quality

    Normal screenwriters CANNOT GET WORK. (real) Animators are working at 7-11 trying to get by instead of drawing for a living. Fantasy literature has gotten to the point where even a totally obsequious simping blue-square white male cannot get a publishing contract – at all.

    It’s astonishing how MUCH is being pumped out at the same time that all the competent people are totally frozen out of the business. So many different levels to try to understand. Is AI doing all the work? Is ALL media just money laundering now? Books, TV, Movies, Comic Books, Music, EVERYTHING? Is it all funneling to Ukraine? Kamela’s campaign?!?

    If we don’t have the hours to watch their content, where are the man-hours coming from to MAKE it? Sheer logistics boggle the mind.

    the weaponized-autistic redlettermedia fans list of dozens of ADDITIONAL shows redlettermedia forgot about in the comments.

    I think these things are significant because it is likely that whatever dynamic this is, it does NOT just pervade entertainment and media, but has saturated other industries – it’s just that media is getting the third-stringers who cannot do the same things as smoothly and competently, nor are their efforts considered to be critical, so there is far less secrecy. Same dynamics, more observable.

    People think of bureaucracies as resistant evil blobs – but there are decent people within them – nothing would run without them hashtag-actually-resisting!

    And maybe a little sympathy for the middle managers – surely the shitty times stand out from OTHER times, else I could notice no difference. So somewhere in the bowels of the corporation, reasonably-competent middle managers were doing something right or at least had the sense to leave things alone.

    …also that the problems that arise within a bureaucracy CAN be somewhat different than imagined.

    Have you experienced what happens when two people have the same work philosophy.

    “Don’t work hard, work smart, let someone else do the work.”

    ‘Evacuate Immediately’ – Resistance Roundup – Day 386


    ‘Evacuate Immediately’ – Resistance Roundup – Day 386
    October 26, 2024
    Hezbollah is now in charge of the course of the fighting, making it difficult for Israel to achieve any tactical, let alone strategic victories in Lebanon.
    The Israeli army death toll in Lebanon continues to rise. Earlier this evening, Israeli media, citing army sources, said that seven of its soldiers were killed in battles with Hezbollah in South Lebanon.

    Media reports also said that 21 soldiers were wounded, some of them seriously.

    Earlier in the day, the Israeli army said that 61 of its soldiers had been wounded in South Lebanon battles over the course of 24 hours.

    The above numbers suggest that Hezbollah is now in charge of the course of the fighting, making it difficult for Israel to achieve any tactical, let alone strategic victories in Lebanon.

    For its part, Hezbollah said that it had attacked strategic targets inside Israel.

    “The fighters of the Islamic Resistance at 11:30 AM on Saturday 26-10-2024, launched an aerial attack with a squadron of attack drones targeting the Tel Nof airbase south of Tel Aviv, hitting their targets with precision,” Hezbollah said in one of many statements issued today.

    Later in the evening, Hezbollah released a video calling on Israelis living in 25 settlements in the northern parts of the country to evacuate.

    In its video statement, communicated in Hebrew, Hezbollah said that the settlements have turned into a place of deployment and support for Israeli military occupation forces that are attacking Lebanon.

    This makes these settlements “legitimate military targets for the air and missile forces of the Islamic resistance,” therefore, all of their inhabitants must “Evacuate immediately.”

    Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.

    The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.

    How Israel Strikes Iran’s Military Targets? #israel #iran

    2,177,394 views Oct 26, 2024

    Israel launched nearly 80 or more aircraft Including in an operation code-named “Days of Repentance At Around 2 in the Morning.

    The routes may seem straightforward, they involved complex planning, including calculations for air refueling and coordinating attack aircraft to pass through Jordan, Syria, and Iraq.

    They also neutralized potential air defense threats in Syria and Iraq to ensure a safe return in case they were targeted.

    Israel’s strategy was to attack Iran in three waves.

    The first wave targeted surface air to air sites, radar installations, and Iran’s air defense headquarters in Tehran, Ilam, and Khuzestan.

    The second wave focused on destroying ballistic missiles, and finally, the third wave targeted military manufacturing industries.

    To avoid Iranian air defenses, they used the “Rocks” missiles, which allowed them to strike from positions closer to enemy targets without requiring jets to penetrate deep into Iranian territory.

    Surprisingly, the Iranian Bavar 373 air defense system performed better than expected. More details all in the video ahead.
