Russia, China, Iran deployed naval vessels for joint exercises in the Strait of Hormuz-only sea passage from Persian Gulf to ocean-world's most strategic chock point. Putin aide Patrushev stated Russia is working to build a “multipolar world order on the oceans” in response to Western hegemony.

Amid nuclear talks, Ayatollah Khamenei warned the US that warships moving toward the Persian Gulf represent a greater danger to the US than Iran, because in the event of conflict, they would be sunk-Tehran Times. Iran also fired live missiles toward the Strait of Hormuz-S. China Morning Post.

1953, US-British backed coup overthrew Iran's dem. elected PM Mosaddegh to secure oil interests (later became BP) & restored Shah Pahlavi. Dictatorship fueled anti-US sentiment culminating in 1979 Islamic Revolution ushering in Khomeini. Pahlavi's son-based near DC-now vying to lead Iran. Hmmm.

US Ambassador to NATO, Matt Whitaker, stated Trump is holding of on all decisions in regard to Iran & is going for diplomacy. Warns if nuclear talk in 2nd negotiations fail, US will take military action, as no state sponsor of terror (speaks w/forked tongue) can have nukes or be able to build them.

Rubio, while in Hungary signing a US-Hungarian nuclear cooperation agreement for the "possible" purchase of compact nuclear fission reactors or SMRs., endorsed Orban's 5th term & stated Orban & Trump have a strong relationship. Orban's Fidesz party controls media, judiciary & electoral systems!

Under UN Gen. Assembly Resolutions 3314 & 37/43, peoples under foreign, colonial occupation have the right to resist through armed struggle to achieve self-determination & liberation. Then, would Hamas & its paramilitary al-Qassam Brigades have the right to not disarm & resist? 2/2

Senior Hamas official, Mahmoud Mardawi, told Al Jazeera the group rejects Israeli ultimatum to surrender their weapons and called on Israel instead to uphold the ceasefire. Israel threatened again yesterday to resume the war on Gaza if Hamas was not disarmed w/in 60 days. 1/2

Medical evacuations for patients thru partially opened Rafah Crossing are presently only 12 a day. At this rate, evacuating 20,000 Palestinians in need of medical care will take more than 4-5 years, many children will be left to languish, reported by Save the Children.

The Israeli army has issued evacuation orders in a West Bank land seizure in Area C-covering over 1,200 acres, known as the Palestinian "breadbasket" & cleanse it of Palestinians in preparation for a 300-mile barrier in operation "Crimson Thread." Blood red!

My question is, what is ICE going to do with the 77,000+ detainees, soon to be 100,00 & more, in the long run? Keep them permanently incarcerated? Farm them out? What? They're not being deported.

I thought the sociopathic, sadistic fat bastard was going to deport illegal immigrants? What happened? Is MAGA aware? An est. 77, 766 people being held in detention camps @$165. per adult, per day paid w/taxpayer $$!

Catastrophic conditions continue-Doctors W/out Borders stated today they have been unable to deliver any aid or humanitarian supplies into Gaza & the West Bank since the beginning of this year, due to Israeli restrictions.

Where do we go from here? How do you dismantle a media now owned by just 6 corps., the 10 corps. who own every item on your grocery shelves or a fed. gov. which-hasn't been the "good guys" since WWII-professes to be working for the betterment of Americans? The clock's ticking & time is running out.

When I think of all that which has been done around the globe through US foreign policy, I'm surprised there aren't more knocking at out our door to put our lights out! Blowback's a bitch.

Family vacation to Disney World turned into 4 mos. for a 9-yr.-old in Dilley, TX detention camp-privately owned & operated by CoreCivic. Dilley is the largest family facility in the US-up to 2,400 people. CoreCivic paid up to $165. per adult. per day.

Tomorrow is President's Day! So don't forget to give a shout out to the sociopathic, sadistic fat bastard -the "greatest president in history of all time."

90% of what is read, seen or heard via mainstream media in the US is controlled by 6 corps. They have a huge stake in keeping information Americans need to know, have a right to know, from becoming public knowledge. They're not going to bite the hand that feeds them.

I will never be able to figure out why anyone would have complete loyalty to a politician or a political party, for that matter and especially at this time. Washington has been a cesspool of vipers for many and it's far worse now.

Pentagon pushing for AI companies such as OpenAI & Anthropic to make AI tools more available for future battlefield use, which is already dominated by autonomous drone swarms & robots. Drone swarms have the capacity to make decisions & function as a "collective intelligence." Let that sink in!

While RFK nixes & discourages vaccines for Americans, the US military is stepping up its advanced vaccine platforms to protect troops and guarantee military readiness. So, what does that tell you? Goes along the same lines of the US military having climate change provisions implemented since 2010s,

Do you know of any other species on the planet which destroys that which sustains them?

Will never get over that sociopathic & sadistic fat bastard being elected president not once, but twice. To think there are Americans who "believe" he is working in their favor and kicking all the right asses, is just stunning. Welcome to hell.

As international concern grows about Israeli prisons being slow killing centers-physical & psychological abuse, deliberate starvation, Ben Gvir, while @ Ofer military prison, assured prison personnel he was continuing his efforts to passing a law allowing for the execution of Palestinian prisoners.

Greenland saga is not over-US just wants some of Greenland, not all. US wants to take sovereignty over land surrounding US military bases, Pituffik Space Base in particular, which is key to Trump's Golden Dome. Topic came up at Munich Sec. Conf. Denmark concerned.

Global warming & climate change are anthropogenic. The Earth has been plunged into a cycle not within the planet's own natural evolution. At some point in time & probably when Earth has sloughed us all off, she can go back to carrying on. As the saying goes, humankind comes & go, but Earth abides.

Global warming accelerates the hydrological cycle at the equator-higher temperatures, higher rates of ocean evaporation into the atmosphere-higher rates vapor, act as a greenhouse gas-warming the planet more. A vicious cycle creating more intense winds, hurricanes, storms, rainfall amts., flooding.

Palestinians in Gaza have run from bombs, drone strikes & gunfire for over 2 years. Their homes & all they have worked for in a lifetime gone forever. Seeing family members, friends dismembered, evaporated, buried under rubble. Children orphaned, missing limbs. How does one survive the trauma?

Trump, the conqueror & all powerful, stated Iranian regime change would the "best thing that could happen," adding that a second aircraft carrier w/"tremendous power" is being sent to the region. Trump's henchmen, Kushner & Witkoff will meet with Iran on Tues. in Geneva. Can we get a regime change?

Bloody animals! The women who Pretti was trying to defend before he was killed is an EMT and fed. agents prevented her from giving first aid. She stated “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” The Intercept.

What bothers me more about AI, other than we're seemingly living more and more of our lives in the ethers, is AI's capacity in surveillance and its use in the military, which is already more than we can imagine.

Taiwan is the world's dominant producer of semiconductors which power AI. In the race for AI dominance and to counter Chinese dominance, the US militarily protects Taiwan. In turn, Taiwan's economy is booming, while US economy is waning.

US gov. to fund MAGA-aligned parties and think tanks in Europe. US State Dept. official Sarah Rogers is leading the effort in the name of free speech. Toured London, Paris, Rome & Milan to curtail UK's Online Safety Act & EU's Digital Services Act to allow for far-right lies and propaganda-GZERO.

Global warming and its impact on climate change cannot be stopped. Slowed down, but not stopped. Given this fact, has that sociopath even considered how what he has now put into place is going to affect his own progeny? He doesn't even give a flying f... about his own family. So take it from there.

Anthropocene age risk 2 human survival. Burning coal releases lg. amts of CO2, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide & methane. Coal burning plants are the largest source of Mercury in the US. Methane is responsible for 30% of global rise in temperature, traps 80x more heat than CO2.

The Paris Agreement was a legally binding international treaty adopted in 2015. The aim was to keep global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius. That was 11 yrs. ago. According to many scientists, Earth's temperature has already reached the 2 degree Celsius mark and climbing.

Remember when death & taxes were the only "things" you could never get away from. Well... it's now death, taxes and climate change.

Remember when the Mad King, member of Mensa, stated the US has the cleanest air in all the world and if its ever dirty it comes from other countries-China. Can we say trade winds?

With over 800 bases & installations in 80 countries, the US military is the world's largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels and a significant contributor to climate change. Btw 2010 & 2019, the military generated an est. 636 million metric tons of CO2.-jet fuel accounted for 55%.

If there ever is an Epstein trial and everyone listed in the files is convicted and goes to jail, will there be enough people left in Washington to run the show. Empty halls, empty chambers, empty offices, etc. etc.

One of the reasons the Roman Empire fell was due to a severe financial crisis. There were constant wars, oppressive taxation, inflation and a widening gap btw rich & poor. To avoid taxes, the wealthy fled to the countryside and set up independent fiefdoms. Oh, oh!

1st meeting Trump's Board of Peace on 19 Feb. in DC to raise $ for reconstruction of Gaza, while the genocide continues unabated in Gaza. Meeting at US Institute of Peace, now known as Trump's institute, after the facility was seized by admins. last yr & almost all of the staff was fired. So typical

Per usual, no explanation or details for the Cuba oil blockade, as Cubans are now experiencing 16 hr. blackouts as energy is diverted to keep remaining healthcare facilities up and running & to protect water & food supplies

Israeli gov. is now using a new tool in its pursuit of Greater Israel and protecting their borders, spraying carcinogenic glyphosate (found in Round-up) on southern Syria & Lebanon farmland, an environmental & health crime. Israeli gov.'s motto...no crime, no gain.
