“Trump:
The attack that occurred this morning in Beirut should not have happened, especially on a special day when we are so close to a peace agreement with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself from threats, but the attack it responded t
o was small and insignificant; No one was injured, neither injured nor killed, and it should not be allowed to disrupt this important operation.We are very close to an agreement that will bring peace to the region, including Lebanon, and all parties must show restraint. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by anyone else, including Hezbollah, against Israel.
This could be the beginning of a long, beautiful peace — don’t ruin it!”

This one is a big one. Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, aka Niño Guerrero, was the kingpin of c (TdA).
He started out as a local thug, with a rap sheet full of homicides, robberies, and other crimes, but he turned a stint in prison into one of the biggest criminal organizations in the world.
By 2018, it was spreading through other South American countries, including Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, and Brazil.—————-
Putin knows that even Canada is waging war against Russia“Russia is standing against the so-called Collective West single-handedly,” Putin said, state media cited, and he noted that the ‘special military operation’ he ordered to stave off NATO encroachment is revealing itself to be “exceedingly high-tech.”
“The NATO nations are all, without exception, ramping up efforts to do all they can to orchestrate actions against Russia,”
“The enemy is expanding the use of [kamikaze] drones… trying to strike at our morale, trying to break up Russian society… and cause economic damage,” he noted, stressing that “they will not succeed.”

Dr. Rob Campbellhttps://robcampbell.substack.com/p/iranmiddle-east-war-summary-week-6b8
In spite of Trump claiming a ‘deal’ with Iran for the 38th time, it is unlikely to materialise. Israel continues to conduct genocide in Gaza and Lebanon but it is paying a heavy toll in the currency of death and injury to its soldiers.
Hezbollah is doing a grand job but the death toll among civilians, in Lebanon especially, is heartbreaking.

ParticipantIran’s semi-official Mehr news agency has published a list of terms that are reportedly in the draft memorandum of understanding with the US.
It cites a source close to the Iranian negotiating team, but the details have not been confirmed publicly by either Tehran or Washington.
The report says the text is yet to be finalised by the Iranian leadership.According to the report,
the draft includes 14 points:
🔸Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
🔸The US’s “commitment to non-interference in Iran’s internal affairs” and respect for its sovereignty.
🔸Lifting of US naval blockade within 30 days.
🔸Withdrawal of US forces from around Iran.
🔸Reopening the strait of Hormuz within 30 days “with Iranian arrangements”.
🔸Suspension of US sanctions on Iranian oil.
🔸US and allies to draw up reconstruction plans for Iran “worth at least $300bn”.
🔸Sixty days of negotiations to reach a final agreement “based on nuclear issues and the complete lifting of” sanctions.
🔸Reiterating Iran’s commitment not to produce nuclear weapons.
🔸During the negotiations, the US will not increase its forces in the region or impose new sanctions.
🔸Release $24bn in blocked Iranian funds.
🔸Establishing a monitoring mechanism to implement the agreement.
🔸Final agreement to be approved by a UN security council resolution.
🔸The final negotiations will not begin before the release of half of Iran’s frozen funds, the suspension of oil sanctions and the lifting of the naval blockade. “Discussions about Iran’s missile programme and support for resistance groups have been definitively removed from the agenda.”Posted by: pinche | Jun 12 2026 9:32 utc | 324

Participantno electricity – a cashless society – spending money that doesn’t exist
————
copilot responseYou’ve just named three pressure points that don’t coexist well — and that’s exactly why they’re showing up together in modern risk discussions. Let me give you the clean, structured breakdown you’re actually pointing toward.
⚡ 1. No electricity → the foundation collapses
A cashless, digitally mediated economy only works if the grid works.
Remove electricity and you lose:Payment terminals
Banking networks
ATMs
Mobile phones
Internet routing
Supply‑chain coordination
Fuel pumps (diesel, gasoline, even emergency generators eventually)
In BC/PNW terms: a regional blackout lasting more than 48–72 hours would immediately force a reversion to barter, IOUs, and physical goods as currency. Digital money becomes inaccessible, not “gone,” but unusable.
💳 2. A cashless society → total dependency on digital intermediaries
A cashless system increases efficiency but also centralizes fragility:Every transaction requires a functioning network
Every person requires a functioning identity/authentication system
Every merchant requires a functioning payment processor
Every supply chain requires functioning logistics software
This is why Nordic countries (the most cashless on Earth) still maintain emergency cash reserves and mandate that banks keep some physical cash on hand.
A cashless society is not inherently unstable — but it is brittle under stress.
💸 3. Spending money that doesn’t exist → credit expansion + deficit financing
This is the part people feel intuitively but rarely articulate clearly.Modern economies run on:
Credit creation by banks
Deficit spending by governments
Liquidity injections by central banks
Debt rollover instead of repayment
Money is no longer a physical commodity; it’s a ledger system.
When governments spend more than they tax, they issue bonds.
When banks issue loans, they create new money.This works as long as:
Productivity grows
Trust remains
The system stays online
But combine digital-only money with grid failure and high leverage, and you get a system where:
The money technically exists, but no one can access it, verify it, or use it.
That’s the scenario you’re hinting at.
🧩 The real issue: these three trends amplify each other’s weaknesses
Put them together and you get a systemic fragility loop:Digital-only money requires electricity
Electricity failure freezes the economy
Debt-based money depends on continuous functioning
Interruption → defaults, supply-chain breakdowns, liquidity crises
Liquidity crises → government emergency measures
Emergency measures → more digital control, less cash, more fragility
This is why operational risk analysts (your domain) treat grid dependency as the single point of failure for modern economies.
🧭 The non-obvious insight
The real danger isn’t “cashless society” or “money that doesn’t exist.”
It’s synchronization.When every system is:
Digital
Centralized
Real-time
Interdependent
Then a failure in one domain cascades instantly into all others.
The economy becomes fast, but also tightly coupled, which is the opposite of resilient.

Participantcopilot, comment on “Trump cancelling new strikes on Iran”
Trump posted on Truth Social:
“We will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow… but [the military must] be prepared to go forward with a full, large‑scale assault… on a moment’s notice.”
So this was not a de‑escalation.
It was a pause, not a cancellation of the option.Why Trump canceled the strikes
Based on the reporting:1. Gulf states begged him to stop
Leaders in the Gulf told Trump that a new U.S. strike would collapse negotiations and risk a regional explosion.2. Negotiations with Iran suddenly moved forward
Iran submitted a revised 14‑point proposal via Pakistani mediators.
Trump believed a deal was within reach.3. The U.S. blockade was already causing global economic pain
The Strait of Hormuz closure had driven up global fuel and food prices, and inflation was hurting U.S. public support for the war.4. Trump wanted leverage, not a full war
He canceled the strike but ordered the military to stay ready for a “full, large‑scale assault… on a moment’s notice.”This is classic Trump:
threaten maximum force → pause → demand concessions → threaten again.📌 Bottom Line
Trump canceled the new strikes because Gulf states asked him to stop and because negotiations with Iran suddenly showed movement — but he kept the military on standby for a massive attack if talks collapse.This is a pressure‑pause‑pressure cycle, not de‑escalation.

Iran had been bracing for this attackBy Mohamed Vall
Reporting from Tehran, IranThe Iranians had been bracing for this since the afternoon, since the Americans began to talk about a new wave of strikes.
The understanding yesterday and early this morning was that the exchange of attacks between the Iranians and Americans was over the downing of that Apache helicopter.
Both sides announced the end of their operations with regard to that situation. But now we have the Americans initiating their own wave of attacks against Iran and linking it to negotiations.
They seem to be impatient and unhappy about the pace of talks.
The Iranians are talking about a situation where they can’t accept being forced into a deal that is detrimental to the future and to the sovereignty of the country, and even to its security – a deal that the Americans are trying to force on them under the threat of bombing.

A little while back I had copilot dig up the A.I. that were being used by Israel to help them commit their crimes.
Here is the latest search by copilot.Short answer:
Israel is currently using at least 10 identifiable AI systems across targeting, surveillance, intelligence fusion, and population control — all confirmed by recent reporting. These systems are primarily developed and deployed by Unit 8200, Israel’s elite signals‑intelligence and cyber unit.
Below is the full, sourced list.🇮🇱 AI Systems Used by Israel (Confirmed by Reporting)
1. AI‑Enhanced Audio Analysis Systems
Used to intercept, analyze, and geolocate targets by processing voice communications.Enabled the strike on Hamas commander Ibrahim Biari by pinpointing his location through AI‑processed audio.
2. Facial Recognition AI (West Bank & Gaza)
Deployed at checkpoints and during raids to identify Palestinians.Used for population control, arrests, and tracking.
Has caused misidentifications and wrongful detentions.
3. AI‑Powered Surveillance Cameras (Gaza Crossings)
High‑resolution cameras with AI‑based facial recognition and movement analysis.Used to track individuals entering/exiting Gaza.
4. AI‑Driven Targeting Systems
Unit 8200 uses AI to:Filter intelligence
Generate target lists
Accelerate kill‑chain decisions
Identify tunnel networks
5. Arabic‑Language Chatbots
AI chatbots trained on Arabic social media and communications.Assist analysts in processing huge volumes of Arabic text.
Struggle with dialects and slang.
6. AI‑Based Communication Analysis Tools
Systems that analyze:Text messages
Social media posts
Intercepted communications
Used to identify suspects, track networks, and flag “patterns of interest.”7. AI‑Supported Voice‑Matching Tools
Used to match intercepted voices to known individuals.Applied in tunnel searches and hostage‑tracking operations.
8. Unit 8200’s Classified Large Language Model (LLM)
A ChatGPT‑like AI model trained on millions of intercepted Palestinian conversations.Designed to answer questions about individuals
Used for incrimination, surveillance, and population monitoring
9. AI‑Enhanced Mapping & Tunnel‑Detection Tools
Used to analyze:Tunnel layouts
Underground movement
Structural patterns
Supports targeting and hostage‑rescue operations.10. “The Studio” — Unit 8200’s AI Development Hub
Not a single tool, but a dedicated AI lab inside Unit 8200.Builds new AI targeting tools
Collaborates with engineers from Google, Meta, Microsoft
Rapidly deploys experimental AI into combat
🧠 What These Systems Do in Practice
Across all sources, Israel’s AI systems are used for:Target generation (who to strike)
Target verification (is the person who we think they are?)
Hostage tracking
Population surveillance
Predictive policing
Rapid kill‑chain acceleration
Filtering massive intelligence datasets
These systems dramatically speed up Israeli military operations — but also increase the risk of misidentification, civilian casualties, and automated decision‑making without human oversight.

The USA version of ceasefire.Update (12:45pm ET): following earlier reports that a US AH-64 Apache helicopter had gone down over the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman in an unprecedented first of the Iran war, moments ago Trump said on Truth Social that he had “been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”

The Israeli military also targeted towns and villages across southern Lebanon, including areas that were not covered by evacuation warnings, according to the country’s state-run news agency.” So clearly the air raids are expanding, per the report, even after the latest Trump warnings directed at Netanyahu to not do anything that would sabotage a broader Iran peace agreement.

“He won’t have any choice,” Trump told the FT in a telephone interview. “I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.”
A bit later Israel aircraft bombed targets in Iran with stand of missiles. Among the targets were oil installations at the Karun petrochemical complex. Other targets were radar stations.
Iran responded by launching missiles against two additional air bases in central Israel while missiles from Lebanon hit at Israeli oil installations in Haifa.
Ansarullah in Yemen joined in. It announced that all Israel related shipping will be blocked from the Red Sea and fired some of its own missiles against Israel proper.
Both sides of the conflict then concluded the fight. The skirmish is, for now, over.
The statement announced a halt to Iranian military operations but warned that further Israeli actions would prompt a significantly stronger reaction. “It is emphasized that if the aggression continues, including in southern Lebanon, much more severe and painful measures will follow,” the statement said.

A statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
Allah says: “O you who believe! If you support Allah, He will support you and make your feet firm.” Truth be to Allah, the Almighty
In the context of confronting the American and Zionist aggression against the axis of jihad and resistance in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and rejecting the Zionist project aimed at establishing a “Greater Israel” under the guise of the “New Middle East”, and in an effort to break the unjust and oppressive siege imposed by the American enemy on our people and the free and honorable axis in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran, and in the framework of the principle of unity of fronts and confronting enemies, and in response to the Zionist aggression against Lebanon, Iran, and Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces launched a missile strike targeting sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied region of Jaffa, and achieved their objectives with precision, thanks to Allah.
In this context, the Armed Forces emphasize the following:Firstly: We announce a complete and total ban on maritime navigation for the Israeli enemy in the Red Sea, and we consider all the enemy’s movements to be military targets for our armed forces from the moment of the announcement of this statement.
Secondly: We confirm that we will confront escalation with escalation, and that our military operations will be escalating in line with the events, the battle, and the participation with the axis of jihad and resistance.
Thirdly: We affirm the right of our people and the peoples of our free nation to confront the American-Israeli aggression, and that we will not stand idly by in the face of the unjust siege on our people and the peoples of the axis of jihad and resistance in Palestine, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq. All the enemy’s attempts will fail by Allah’s permission, and our operations will continue as long as the aggression and siege against us and the axis of jihad and resistance continue.
Allah is our helper, and He is the Best Guardian, the Best Master, and the Best Supporter.
Long live Yemen free, proud, and independent,And victory to Yemen and all the free people of the nation.
