US lawmakers say Justice Department ‘appears to have’ withheld Epstein files related to Trump
‘Covering up direct evidence of a potential assault by the President of the United States is the most serious possible crime in this White House cover up,’ says Representative Robert Garcia https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-lawmakers-say-justice-department-appears-to-have-withheld-epstein-files-related-to-trump/3839270They say he was quite engaging in his way: Trump Talks Economy, Immigration, Taxes, And AI In State Of The Union Address https://www.zerohedge.com/political/5-things-watch-trumps-state-union-address-tonight
Moon of Alabama, Despite Four Weeks Of Build-Up Trump’s Choices On Iran Are Still The Same
Four week ago U.S. President Donald Trump threatened the Islamic Republic of Iran with another attack over its nuclear program.
It was a mistake..
..Israeli intelligence has concluded that even with the imminent arrival of the USS Gerald R Ford later this week, the US has military capacity to sustain just a four to five day intense aerial assault, or a week of lower-intensity strikes, an Israeli intelligence official told the FT.
Iran, in contrast to the U.S., is able to fight for a long time and especially to block the Strait of Hormuz, with global economic consequences, for several months.
The build up of U.S. forces over the last month thus has not changed the strategic balance.
Iran has the means to fight a long war in its near abroad while the U.S. depends on a logistic train that takes months to deliver.
The White House, when ordering the build-up, was falsely believing that Iran would fold under pressure:
Trump’s special envoy to the region, Steve Witkoff, told Fox News over the weekend that the president is “curious” why Iran hasn’t “capitulated” to U.S. demands, given the looming threat of a military attack. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/02/despite-four-weeks-of-build-up-trumps-choices-on-iran-are-still-the-same.htmlFrom Iran: US military can sustain only days of attacks against Iran: Israeli intel. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/02/24/764651/Israeli-intelligence-warns-US-strike-capacity-against-Iran-limited-to-days-American-casualties-

Ellen Brown, Regime Change at the Fed: From Big Bank Bailouts to Local Productivity
Nicoletos called the Warsh nomination a regime-change story, a shift in how policymakers think about growth, inflation, and the Fed’s role in markets. Warsh has spent years at the Hoover Institution arguing that the Fed’s balance sheet is bloated and that Quantitative Easing distorted markets. He has described QE-driven growth as a temporary “sugar high,” and he has called for “regime change” at the Fed. Rather than controlling inflation through QE and higher interest rates, he argues, it should be focused on increasing supply through local productivity.
Nicoletos observes that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, too, has been arguing that the economy needs to shift away from Wall Street-driven liquidity to Main Street-driven credit. Bessent says the era of the Fed being the primary engine of financial markets should end. Stephen Miran, a Governor at the Federal Reserve, has also been speaking publicly for lower rates, a smaller Fed footprint, and faster growth.
The new approach, says Nicoletos, represents a fundamental shift in policy. “Instead of relying on the Fed’s balance sheet to inject liquidity from the top down, the idea is to use the banking system to channel credit from the bottom up.” https://scheerpost.com/2026/02/24/regime-change-at-the-fed-from-big-bank-bailouts-to-local-productivity/ Gold & Geopolitics Daily Digest: Critical Alerts
COMEX metals halt on futures expiry day – CME halted all Globex metals and natural gas at 12:15pm CT, citing “technical issues.” Metals reopened at 1:45pm CT, after which silver was immediately slammed $3 from ~$91 to $88. The halt occurred with only 36 hours to First Notice Day on the March silver contract, with ~115M oz in open interest against only ~87M oz registered. https://no1sdailydigest.substack.com/p/daily-digest-2026-02-26 Much more on that: Gold & Geopolitics: Technical Issues™ COMEX-edition
Now, “halted” is such an interesting word. It implies nothing is happening. A pause. A quiet 90 minutes while the engineers figure out which wire came loose. Except 31,828 contracts changed hands at exactly 12:45 PM. During the halt. One candle. $90.988. One hundred and fifty-nine million ounces of silver, in fifteen minutes, at a single price, traded on an exchange supposedly down by “technical issues”...
..Longs who’d been pressing through $91 had their day orders cancelled and had to re-enter manually. The banks’ limit orders – the big institutional GTC orders sitting below the market to absorb selling pressure – those stayed put. They never get cancelled. Different category.
So when trading resumed: retail, manually re-entering. Banks, already positioned. The chessboard got flipped and reset with one side’s pieces already back in place.
Technical issue...
..This is not normal. Well, it has never been normal. But what this looks like is a lot of longs who were planning to stand for delivery suddenly decided – sometime during a 90-minute window when the exchange was technically dark but millions of ounces were changing hands – that rolling their contracts forward was actually a very attractive option. Handsomely attractive, one can imagine. People don’t abandon delivery positions in a physically tight market out of the goodness of their hearts.
Someone got paid to go away. The question is only how much. https://no01.substack.com/p/technical-issues Mike Benz Says Epstein Files Only Tip of Iceberg in Putting Deep State on Defense – The time is now.
Benz highlighted the importance of the Epstein files, the release of which authorized by a bipartisan bill Trump signed uncovered several stunning revelations. He also told the DCNF, however, the “collective fixation” with the files “is because there are not other disclosures of considerable consequence.”
“We should be having five million CIA files. We should be having five million State Department files. We should be having five million USAID files,” Benz emphasized. “The fact that it’s only the Epstein files — and even that at the barrel of a gun by congressional bill — is not as much as we could do.”
“I think those things— something that shows that … it’s okay to trust these institutions again,” he continued. “I think right now, a lot of people feel they’re being asked to trust without the reforms and accountability that a lot of people expected to be the antecedent.”
Benz named the CIA, FBI, State Department, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and the now-effectively-dismantled USAID as agencies that should be investigated. https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/mike-benz-says-epstein-files-onlyWho Bought FreshWhite Babies Through Epstein https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/who-bought-fresh-white-babies-through

The Name that Appears 12,000 Times in the Epstein Files and No One Wants to Say – Jeffrey Epstein and the Rothschilds
Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret and Epstein’s largest known benefactor, testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee on February 18, 2026.
Asked about the credentials that led him to entrust Epstein with full power of attorney over his finances, he answered plainly:
“His personal work for the Rothschild family in France.”
He added:
“Specifically, I spoke to Élie de Rothschild. He represented their whole family.”
Under oath. Before the United States Congress.

This is the grand strategic context within which Russia’s talks with the US and Ukraine are taking place.
Casual observers are convinced that Trump is a madman with no method behind his madness, but the reality is that he and his team – collectively known as Trump 2.0 – are slowly but surely implementing their grand strategy against China. Every one of their moves abroad should be seen as a means to this end. They want to comprehensively contain China and then coerce it into a lopsided trade deal that “rebalance[s] China’s economy toward household consumption” per the National Security Strategy.
Trump 2.0 doesn’t want to go to war over this, however, which is why they’re careful to avoid replicating the Imperial Japanese precedent. Piling too much economic-structural pressure on China at once could spook it into lashing out in desperation before the window of opportunity closes. https://korybko.substack.com/p/trump-20s-grand-strategy-againstMoon of Alabama, Energy Glasshouse – Ukraine Attempts To Blackmail Hungary, Slovakia Destined To Fail

The acting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski is trying to use a Russian attack in January on energy infrastructure in Ukraine, which he alleged damaged the Druzhba pipeline, to block further transfer of Russian crude oil to Hungary and Slovakia.

The European Union has a major targeting effort against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an ally of President Trump who does not support giving additional funding to the Ukraine war effort. Hungary is having national elections in April...
..As noted by Hungarian Minister Zoltan Kovacs, “Many have asked how Hungary can block the €90 billion Ukrainian war loan if we are not participating in it. clarified that the loan does not affect Hungary and does not entail any financial commitment for us. As Hungary is not part of the cooperation, in most of the decision-making procedures we do not even vote. However, he pointed out that for the scheme to function, the EU’s seven-year budget guarantee rules must be amended – and this requires the approval of all 27 member states, not only the financing member states. We are now blocking this decision, without which the war loan cannot be disbursed.” https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/02/21/german-court-rules-x-platform-must-turn-over-data-on-hungarian-govt-support/#more-280862 Russia says Britain, France plotting to give Ukraine nuclear weapons

The larger trend is that “The EU’s Planned Transformation Into A Military Union Is A Federalist Power Play”, and this could become a fait accompli if two-thirds of Poland’s EU-allocated €40 billion low-cost loans go towards German-produced military-technical equipment. After all, that sum (€26 billion) is over half of Poland’s 2026 defense expenditures (€46 billion), which could therefore result in the radical reorientation of its armed forces towards its neighbor’s wares. The strategic implications are obvious.
Poland’s conservative opposition accordingly has good reason to reject this gigantic EU loan since the terms would and risk reversing the gains that it’s made vis-à-vis Germany with respect to their regional rivalry.
Liberal-globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk claimed that Nawrocki’s veto of the law for implementing SAFE would be a “betrayal of national interests”, but since Nawrocki’s ally Kaczynski believes that Tusk is a “German agent”, Nawrocki might thus not be deterred. https://korybko.substack.com/p/polands-conservative-opposition-has Israel plans to turn Gaza into a “cashless society” where the IDF fully controls who has access to e-money, who one can transact with, how much, & who starves to death

Israel bans people from leaving Gaza arbitrarily under unexplained unappealable “security pretexts”.

Israel’s public broadcaster KAN has reported that at least 12 US F-22 fighter jets landed at an Israeli air base in the south of the country, connected with the ongoing Pentagon build-up threatening anti-Tehran action.
“Twelve US F-22 fighter jets landed this afternoon at one of the Israeli Air Force bases in the south of the country, as part of the American deployment in the Middle East,” KAN said.
The publication added of what is the world’s most sophisticated and high-tech stealth jet, that it is capable of “penetrating enemy territory and disabling air defense systems and radar installations.”
Local media further described the fighter jets’ presence as in anticipation of potential new attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi forces in Yemen.

A false-flag “Iranian” attack on the US might make Trump attack, right? Simplicius, The Strategic Dilemma At the Heart of Iran’s Struggle
Contradictory bouts of news and rumor continue to pour in surrounding Trump’s ‘imminent’ attack on Iran. The buildup is said to be the largest since the Iraq war, with various figures like ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou giving their renditions of ‘insider intel’ that Trump has already sealed the fated decision and is ready to roll heavy within the next 48 hours. Iranian officials, on the other hand, appear to signal that talks will continue into next weekend, and there are varied reports about deals gaining traction.
It’s clear that Trump has been wavering due to major second thoughts about a prolonged conflict. Multiple reports have indicated he may be leaning towards a “compromise” of limited strikes in order to coerce Iran into a deal, rather than risking an all out conflict which could end in humiliation...
..We know that Trump’s real motivation for the Iran strikes is not US’s own intelligence regarding some nonexistent Iranian potential, but rather the pressure from Israel. That means for Trump the main operative goal is to somehow satisfy his Israeli superiors and relieve the pressure, rather than achieving any one particular military objective. As long as he can give them a good “college try” and prove his loyalty with a thrashing of Iran, he may deem his debt paid and pull the plug. Israel, of course, will never be fully satisfied until Iran is entirely destroyed, but this is simply how the game works: Trump relieves pressure by striking Iran even if it doesn’t entirely satisfy Netanyahu...
..It should also be noted that some are convinced Tucker Carlson has just single-handedly saved Iran from destruction by outing Israel’s true plans in his interview with ultra-Zionist Mike Huckabee, US’s ambassador to Israel. Recall that Carlson was detained in Israel in quite unfriendly fashion as he’s been internally deemed a kind of enemy of the state for exposing Israel’s propaganda… In the interview, Huckabee implied to Carlson his belief that Israel is entitled to conquer the entire Middle East, as per its biblically chosen stature...
..This sent a firestorm of outrage throughout the Middle East, with the ministries of every major country writing an ‘open letter’ of protest:
The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, together with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) express their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank.
This outrage, many now believe, could have led to Trump rethinking a long-term military campaign against Iran…
..This potential coming attack amounts to Israel’s last chance against Iran, because after midterms wherein Trump could lose control of all Congress, he may never again regain the political capital to engage in such large-scale unilateral actions. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/the-strategic-dilemma-at-the-heart Gold & Geopolitics presents 7 mideast scenarios, including one where Iranian saboteurs strike inside the US, which Israeli “Iranians” could do just as well.

Michael Hudson, Destiny of Civilization – Financialization & Collapse, discussion with Glen Diesen and transcript
Michael Hudson explains that the objective of classical economics was to minimize rent extraction, and to use a mixed economic approach of private industrial capital and governmental provision of infrastructure to keep labor healthy and labor costs low. All of that led to the American industrial miracle, German industrial miracle, Japanese and Chinese, etc. This was the natural and healthy evolution of Industrial Capitalism.
This began in England between about 1805 and 1846, when rent collecting landed gentry fought to maintain taxes on imported food, to keep their rent collections up. Eventually those “corn laws” were rescinded, feeding workers more cheaply, to the benefit of workers and industry. Further governmental services, like land allotments to grow some food, and improved water and sewage services, also bolstered worker health to the benefit of society and industry.
“Free markets” then meant free-from-excessive-rent-collection, as opposed to the current case where (non-productive) Financial Capitalists are free to maximize rent collection through creation of monopolies and purchase of political favors.
The situation is that industrial capitalism in the US has been hollowed out to support financial rent collection, while moving production to areas with low costs and lax regulation.
Hudson repeatedly makes the point that supporting productive industry through government infrastructure and health programs at low cost, while minimizing rent-extraction, keeps wealth circulating in a society, to the benefit of the society, while extracting and concentrating that wealth in a few hands weakens all productive enterprises, in the interests of financial capitalists owning more and more of a weaker and less productive system.
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2026/02/michael-hudson-destiny-of-civilization-financialization-collapse.htmlFormer Assistant Secretary of HUD Catherine Austin Fitts describes how the U.S. government stole $50 trillion of taxpayer money, used Epstein to launder it, and then poisoned Americans to shorten their lifespans:
“We hit the Great Financial Crisis, and then we have $29 trillion of bailouts. So we had $21 trillion of missing money from the US government, and now we have $29 trillion in bailouts. That’s $50 trillion…
So we’re talking about putting the United States in a debt trap, and somebody walks off with $50 trillion… “[And] Jeffrey Epstein made his first visit to the Clinton White House arranged by Bob Rubin, who was the Secretary of Treasury when the money started to go missing… And at the time he was national economic adviser.
I believe Jeffrey Epstein ran the SWIFT system on the missing money … the sex was just part of creating related control files that they used.” https://x.com/SenseReceptor/status/2025248808209469545A former World Bank president has sounded the alarm, revealing that the Federal Reserve has lost over a trillion dollars—and counting—turning it into nothing more than a massive hedge fund for the rich and powerful.
He claims the Fed is borrowing money from banks at 5.4% interest, then pouring it into government bonds, creating the illusion that the government’s financial situation is better than it actually is.
He warns that this scheme isn’t just limited to the U.S.—it’s happening across central banks worldwide. https://x.com/conspiracyb0t/status/2024581671031636113Moonset over Tehran tonight is 12:37 AM, with sunrise about 6 hours after that.

@DBS, regarding space weather:
First look at the picture of the Khafre pyramid and read the thumbnail sketchexplaining EXACTLY why it looks that way, and they could never find the blocks they said had been stolen: https://theethicalskeptic.com/2024/05/23/master-exothermic-core-mantle-decoupling-dzhanibekov-oscillation-theory/Then watch these 4 videos, a total of 29 minutes. Stop after the first one if you don’t like it. Ben Davidson is a bit of a red rooster, but a LOT of people at NASA follow him’
@DBS: Thank you for theoffer to ask anything. The first thing that came to mind was about weather changes and how our planetary weather is influenced by space weather, mainly from our sun, but it is also influenced by space weather, such as the Milky Way rotating magnetic sheet with 12,000 year periodicity.
@DBS: I felt that your saying that I “knew enough, or something to that effect”, was in the context of our discussion at the time of ritual-abuse/MK-Ultra information.
I actually just referred a friend to Langhan’s Cognitive Theoretic Model of the universe a few days ago, because he is chasing something similar with time, space, matter & energy. I drilled down into it pretty well over some months last year, and there is an elegant internal consistency to it. I like that he was working as a bouncer at a bar when he composed it, too.
My paternal family has some pilgrim roots, and includes Joh & John Quincy Adams, and Quakers who sheltered runaway slaves in Ohio, the house where my great grandmother grew up, as she and my grandmother explained to me when I asked (4 y/o) why some people were really dark, “almost black”.
My IQ is nothing to write home about, and I have no savant characteristics, but I do seem to have at least some of each of the human capabilities, so I am fairly empathic and sicerning, and have some premonitions and intuitions of varying clarity, coming when they will.
I do really want to understand things. I have always been that way. It’s a setting since birth. I know I have to review my assumptions a lot, which takes time and effort, but it is so embarrasing to just misunderstand something from wrong assumptions, and they are everywhere, always.
I seek, and try to follow Divine Gidance. It feels like wisdom and compassion, and sometimes comes in epiphanies, but only sometimes. Sometimes it is just one foot in front of the other.
I seem to have had a lot of connections to the JFK assassination in my life, and remember the day well. I worked with Oswald’s younger daughter for years (L&D RN), never knowing who she was, until her OB/GYN husband was talking about her mom, Marina one day, assuming I already knew. He told me. Her face and that of Lee Oswald flashed in my mind, ovelraid, The Same Face… I still never spoke to her of it. The last time I saw her, a few years ago, she said I was “one of her favorite people ever”. I hold that fondly.
@DBS: I’m still at a silent retreat, so I clicked through thetext that shows on the screen, which came under this heading: The Quantum-AI-Human Convergence: Why You’re More Than Any Machine Will Ever Be
It seems pretty straightforward that way.
A premise I like a LOT in recent years is that Consciousness is primary, and contains all physical reality within.
Elon Musk’s version is that we all exist in a really advanced simulation, like a computer simulation. In Buddhism it is Cittamatra, the “Mind Only” school of thought.There is something called “loosh”, which is the energy eminated by anguished sentient beings. There are reports that soulles automatic conscious entities, “Archons”, which might also be called “demons” feed off this loosh, and whisper things in the ears of humans who help them get loosh…
There are reports that some ancient human apex-predator families cultivate these relationships, which may contribute to their role in the world, of keeping human populations from outgrowing available resources.
You have been reluctant to state clearly your beliefs and experiences over the years, which I can understand. You once said that I “knew enough”, or something to that effect.
I do think that this getting out in fairly mainstream conversation, like Bill Maher, puts society at a point of “having been told”, in the different sort of “morality” these elite human apex predators are purported to follow.

Maher started out appearing to apologize to QAnon followers for being “righter than me” when it came to Epstein, adding “Now they also believe a lot of real batsh*t nonsense. But when it comes to-”
“I know you think it is,” Boebert shot back.
“They don’t eat babies. Democrats don’t need babies. You think they eat babies?” Maher replied.
“There is a lot of consumption talk in the stuff that, no, are there babies? I don’t know. No, you can laugh all you want. But I mean, there is some sick stuff in here that is implying,” Boebert answered.
“But that’s not eating babies. It’s — oh c’mon,” Maher said back.
“I’m not saying they’re eating babies. I’m saying there is talk of consumption and it ain’t pizza,” she replied. “And And I’m, not saying that I am QAnon by any means but this is deep dark satanic awful Sacrificial. And this stuff is gross.”
“See, this is what I’m saying. Here I am, sacrificing myself, saying, you know what? I was wrong, QAnon, and then you don’t meet me halfway! You insist they might be eating babies!” Maher shot back.

I was reporting this in sping of 2021, and I was not alone: BREAKING STUDY: Israeli FOIA Data Reveals Massive Heart Injury Spike in Children Immediately After mRNA Shot Rollout
Previously undisclosed government data from Israel show hundreds of 12–16-year-olds suffered severe cardiac injury, including cases coded as heart attacks, within six weeks of mRNA authorization. https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-study-israeli-foia-data Peter McCullough MD (just “review”) FDA Reverses Course, Will Now Review Moderna’s Controversial mRNA Flu Vaccine
Many scientists, including career FDA staff, quietly question whether this decision represents genuine scientific reconsideration or industry muscle flexing. The agency’s reversal conveniently clears the way for Moderna’s future combination Covid-flu shot, a potential multi‑billion‑dollar product. Meanwhile, the lack of long-term data on mRNA platforms for seasonal vaccination raises lingering safety concerns — particularly among older adults, the very group targeted by Moderna’s initial filing.
This episode highlights a familiar pattern in U.S. drug regulation: corporate influence reshaping scientific judgment. As one FDA veteran privately put it, “If a smaller company had tried to submit that same data, they wouldn’t even get a meeting.”
The agency’s final decision on Moderna’s flu vaccine is now expected by August 5, 2026—but the question remains whether the review will reflect rigorous evaluation or capitulation to pharmaceutical power. https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/fda-reverses-course-will-now-review It’s Time To Reopen The Franklin Child Prostitution Case After Epstein Revelations, Brandon Smith
The revelations of the “Lolita Express” and the flights to Little Saint James Island are nothing compared to what we now find in the millions of documents released in the past month. Hints of rape, torture, possible murder, and even cannibalism are present in the coded (and not so coded) language of Epstein’s emails. And, if the revelations of “Pizzagate” and the John Podesta emails are correct, then many of the horrors committed on Epstein’s Island involved young children.
As I noted in my last article, Epstein’s private emails contain coded references to “pizza” (an FBI confirmed code used by pedophiles to describe young boys) over 900 times. Oddly, they talk about “jerky” over 380 times, including mentions of “freezing jerky”, “walking” jerky from one location to another, and getting jerky tested in a lab for “safety”.
The establishment machine is going into panic mode, once again trying to obcure the darker aspects of the Epstein files as “conspiracy theory” and “moral panic”. There is a clear attempt being made to mitigate and run damage control.
In other words, the elites are willing to give up the fight on the issue of underage sex trafficking. They know that the abuse of teens will not trigger enough outrage to get them killed by mobs of angry citizens. However, they are DESPERATE to silence any discussion on the abuse of very young children including babies. They will do anything to prevent the investigation from escalating to issues of cannibalism and occultism. https://alt-market.us/its-time-to-reopen-the-franklin-child-prostitution-case-after-epstein-revelations/ Precrime: Months Before Massacre, OpenAI Worried About Canada’s Trans Mass Killer
Months before a Canadian man in a dress went on a Feb 10 rampage, killing his mother and half-brother at home before slaughtering five students and an education assistant at a secondary school where he was formerly a student, employees at OpenAI were deeply troubled by his interactions with the firm’s ChatGPT AI chatbot.
As first reported by the Wall Street Journal, Jesse Van Rootselaar’s ChatGPT activity was flagged by the company’s automated review system. When employees took a look at what he’d been up to over a several-day period in June 2025, they were alarmed. About a dozen of them debated what they should do. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/precrime-months-massacre-openai-worried-about-canadas-trans-mass-killer Amazon Cloud Unit Taken Down Twice By Its Own AI Tools: Report
In mid-December, Amazon engineers allowed the company’s Kiro AI coding tool to implement system changes that ultimately led to a roughly 13-hour disruption affecting one of the systems customers use to analyze the cost of AWS services, people familiar with the matter told the Financial Times.
The agentic tool – which is capable of taking autonomous actions on behalf of users – reportedly determined that the optimal remediation step was to delete and recreate a computing environment. AWS later circulated an internal postmortem examining the outage.
Employees said the December incident marked the second time in recent months that one of Amazon’s internally deployed AI development tools had played a central role in a service disruption. In both cases, engineers permitted the software agent to execute changes without requiring secondary approval, a safeguard typically mandated for manual interventions in production systems. https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/amazon-cloud-unit-taken-down-twice-its-own-ai-tools-report Meryl Nass MD, Rep.

Iran’s Shadow Over the Gulf: Tehran’s “Open Secret” Plan to Strike US AN/TPY-2 Radars in UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey Amid Trump Escalation
Tehran’s warnings to UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey signal potential targeting of US-operated AN/TPY-2 X-band radar systems that underpin THAAD and Patriot missile defense architecture across the Middle East. https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/iran-an-tpy2-radar-threat-gulf-trump-missile-defense-thaad-patriot/ Non-Acoustic Submarine Detection
Non-acoustic submarine detection technologies are those that do not rely on the collection of soundwaves emitted or reflected by a submerged vehicle for location. Significant improvements have taken place with light-based imaging and magnetic anomaly detection (MAD).3 Modern light-based imaging relies on Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology. LIDAR works by emitting laser (or LED) pulses and measuring the return time and strength of the reflected light. When deployed on space, aeronautic, or naval platforms, LIDAR can track a submarine’s disturbance to the ocean surface or directly image a vehicle. LIDAR is presently limited to sensing depths up to 200 m—projected by some to reach 500 m.
MAD instruments closely monitor magnetic fields. When flown over the ocean, a MAD instrument can locate the disturbance to Earth’s natural magnetic fields caused by a submarine’s metal hull or salt-ion wake. These detection methods function differently: LIDAR can scan broader areas from a greater distance, whereas MAD equipment must be flown at low altitude or submerged. https://ontheradar.csis.org/issue-briefs/non-acoustic-submarine-detection/Israel Issues ALERT Nationwide; Opening Bomb Shelters https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/component/content/article/israel-issues-alert-nationwide-opening-bomb-shelters

Persia Invented Chess https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/persia-invented-chess
Trump wants to win everything and be popular, but Israel needs the US to lay waste to Iran, while Trump needs to avoid military losses and support Republicans in midterm elections, while supporting the $US as global reserve currency, which supports the Federal budget financially, and US military in particular.
Isreal/Mossad/Zionism have a level of influence over Trump that leaves him little room for independent maneuver. The reasons for this are subject to much speculation.
Iran has had enough of rolling over to be kicked on the ground, and has declared that any attack will be answered immediately. All US and Israeli regional assets are targets.
Trump wants to try limited strikes “to pressure Iran” to accept the Israeli ultimatum he has conveyd to them. “No long range missiles and no nuclear enrichment”. It is unaceptable to Iran and would mean removing Iran’s only military deterrent against Israel, it’s long range offensive missiles.
If Trump does try limited strikes, the moment is waning this month, as the moon brightens, and US pilots become night-mission averse. Friday night was an expected strike-window, which has passed. The (19%) moon will set over Tehran at 10:13 PM tonight.
Russia and China now have assets in theater, which any “limited” US strike will have to avoid threatening, because Russia and China can be expected to defend their sensitive military surevillance planes from approaching fighter jets at a pretty long distance.
Those military surveillance planes will be tracking Israeli submarines to a depth of at least 200 meters. Israeli submarines carry cruise missiles, assumed to be nuclear-armed. Those subs can launch from about 50 meters depth. If an Israeli sub launches nuclear cruise missiles on Tehran during a US limited attack, the false-flag attack draws the US into nuclear war.
Will Israel be able to jam or shoot down the Chinese and Russian military surveillance planes, in the event that Israeli subs are to launch nuclear missiles against Iran, or might Israel just sacrifice any submarine which would make this move?
In any event, Russians, Chinese and Iranians will know the Israeli actions.
The US has AN/TPY-2 Radars in UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which allow the THAAD anti missile system to operate at high altitude against ballistic missiles, including hypersonic ballistic missiles, to some extent. These would be immediately targeted by Iran, just as Iranian defensive radars will have been immediately targeted by the US.
Destruction of the AN/TPY-2 radars opens Israel to Iranian attacks from accurate ballistic missiles.
Iran can launch radar-seeking missiles against these AN/TPY-2 radars at the same time that it launches ballistic missiles against Israeli and US regional targets, daring the radars to light-up and be hit. The radars would have to track the ballistic missiles. It’s their function. They would be hit if the anti-radar missiles got in.
There are a lot of interlaced trip-wires in place, and pressure for the US to strike soon, well ahead of meetings between Trump and Xi, at the end of March.
There is only one player, Israel, interested in maximal escalation of war between the US and Iran. All other players would have their interests harmed by a maximal war between the US and Iran. Russia and China stand to lose investment assets in Iran, and to see a working partner destroyed, possibly to lose Iran as a partner after the war. china would lose 13% of her oil. Persian Gulf countries would lose all revenues from oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, due to mining, for an uncertain number of months. All regional shipping would halt for the duration of the war.
Uncertainty about the future is bad bad for all regional players, except Israel, which already faces an uncertain future, and wants Iran removed as a rival.
Your Move, Donald… Trump mulling limited strike to pressure Iran into accepting new nuclear deal: Report
US president reviewing options ranging from targeted strikes to broader campaign amid warnings of regional escalation, officials say https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/trump-mulling-limited-strike-to-pressure-iran-into-accepting-new-nuclear-deal-report/3835273 Larry Johnson, White House Drama Re Pending Decision to Attack Iran
The massive deployment of US combat air assets to the Middle East, accompanied by two carrier strike groups, is not a negotiating ploy. The USCENTCOM chain of command, along with the supporting military assets (e.g., AFSOC, JSOC, EUCOM), fully expected the launch order to be issued for a Friday night strike. But the order has not been issued… At least not yet, as of 2200 hours eastern time on Friday. What is going on?
For starters, there are two senior members of the Trump administration who are warning the President that the attack would be political suicide. They reportedly buttressed their argument against attacking Iran by providing the President with the results of a recent opinion poll…
..A second factor that makes an attack less likely this weekend is Tuesday’s State of the Nation address by Trump. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles may be a corrupt, Zionist tool, but she is not politically obtuse. Starting a war with Iran, especially after Trump’s tariff deal was slapped down by the US Supreme Court, would likely set off a firestorm among the Democrats, Independents and the media. Instead of Trump being able to tout all of his massive achievements during his first year of his second term, the public attention would be clamoring for info about the war. JCS Chairman Caine and Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of CENTCOM, have warned the President that there is a high likelihood that there would be US casualties when the US attacks.
But this does not mean that Trump will back down. He is getting enormous pressure from the Zionist crowd — Christians and Israelis — to launch. One critical factor creating pressure to launch this weekend is the moon phase. As you can see from the following image, the next 24 hours marks the end of the New Moon, i.e., darkness. The Air Force and Navy aviators are not keen on flying attack missions when the moon is shining and can illuminate aircraft. The next period of darkness is mid-March… Trump either launches by Sunday or will likely have to wait until mid-March to do the deed. https://larrycjohnson.substack.com/p/white-house-drama-re-pending-decisionContradictory Reports Of US Evacuating Troops From Exposed Qatar, Bahrain Bases https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-evacuates-troops-exposed-qatar-bahrain-bases-weekend-strike-coming
