Threat Against our Naval Officers A threat has been issued against two Naval Officers. Their images are posted on Iranian X feeds. https://www.surfpac.navy.mil/Leaders/Biography/Article/4262401/cdr-leigh-r-tate/ https://www.surfpac.navy.mil/Leaders/Biography/Article/4262418/cdr-jeffrey-e-york/ Unfortunately, the threat is not being reported out properly by a handful of foreign media outlets. The threat includes this: "...you must go to their families." این دو جنایتکار را هرگز فراموش نمیکنیم. لی آر. تیت، فرمانده، و جفری ای. یورک، افسر اجرایی ناو یو اس اس اسپرانس، که سه بار دستور شلیک موشکهای به دختربچه های ایرانی که برخی روزه اولی بودند را داد و ۱۶۸ کودک بیگناه را در مدرسهای در میناب با زبان روزه به شهادت رساند. خودشان کافی نیستند باید درس عبرت در تاریخ شوند و باید سراغ خانواده هایشان بروید. Undoubtedly, we are aware of this threat. But I wish to make each of you aware that prayers must be extended not only for the safety of our oath keepers - but ...

47 Meets 47 In a suspension of digital existence reside the active imaginary experiences from the best our Republic has to offer. And no greater blathering about can be found than in what are/our ubiquitous "think tanks". I always refer to them as "thunk tanks" - because they always "thunk that they got it right". The link below is best served with a Pinot Mariafeld, because it is a loosely clustered happy stomp compared to the grapes of wrath which Iran is now offering to the U.S. and her Middle East allies. https://www.hudson.org/foreign-policy/ayatollahs-regime-crumbling-michael-doran 47 has now met 47. Our 47th President of the United States has now discovered the "Class of 47". Because undoubtedly, some of the men in the image taken 47 years ago are now the same men holding senior military leadership positions in the IRGC. The passion is still there. And combined with a seasoned maturity, I am not taking note of a "crumbli...
Damage Report We lost KC-135 Stratotankers and an AWACS at the Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia a couple days ago. Today: Civilian infrastructure which supports the U.S. military is now under missile and drone attack in the UAE and Bahrain. The UAE has an aluminum factory with a substantial fire. Missiles have also targeted the Ne'ot Hovav industrial zone in Beersheeba. The first image appears graphically enriched. The Al Araby Television Network headquartered in Lusail City, Qatar has been demolished. I bet they wish that they would have stayed in London. The IRGC released the audio of a Saudi ship being warned to leave the Strait of Hormuz: "This is a serious warning. This is a serious warning. This is a serious warning. Hormuz Strait is closed. And passing through that is forbidden. You are ordered to go back to your departure immediately. If you disobey you will be destroyed. Captain, yo...
Mohamed al-Mosawi It is against my ethical framework as a journalist to post extremely graphic images. But I am making an exception due to the primitive brutality visited on a man by the government of Bahrain. There may have been a legitimate need to arrest him. There is no legitimacy attached to torture. I have always spoken against the barbarity of such practices. I believe these images are valid. Bahrain must be brought to account for unspeakable police and security interrogation actions. https://x.com/s_m_marandi/status/2037512737501163800 https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/down-king-death-bahraini-custody-sparks-angry-dissent
Zeus Moiragetes It is a comfortable feeling - that of believing there is a God of Fate - and what occurs, is that which was always meant to be; a world where man is not the arbiter of his own disputes nor the final word on personal outcomes. In the Christian faith, those who hold to the doctrine of Calvinism can have the dimmest view of life. Or if life treats the individual fairly well, the smugness which accompanies self-righteousness prevails. I am a much more simple creature. I embrace free will and free moral agency. But certain choices can restrict our greater freedoms. These choices, become our prison guards. And our choices regarding Iran are now wearing IRGC uniforms. In Islam, the concept of Al Hutamah (Surah al-Mulk 7). It is the living creature of Allah which draws in its breath, sighs, and speaks. It is chemical reactions... tubes of fire with columns stretching outward... bellows which contract and expand. A...
A Rippling War This analyst is showing signs of weariness - but the synopsis is worth consideration. As you know, the US and Israel began to attack Iran's energy infrastructure, and this process was quite clear because there was nothing to continue. Of course, in the least possible confrontation, Iran will also close the Strait of Hormuz, and if the attacks on US and Israeli infrastructure continue, not only will the infrastructure of Israel and the countries of the region be attacked by Iran and its allies in the axis of resistance, but we will also witness a chain of events all over the world. Every day that America remains in the war, the scandal of its army will sound louder, and the rest of the world will realize America's puppet power and take action. Soon, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Suez Canal will also be closed, and attacks will be carried out on the energy infrastructure of the Persian Gulf. At the same time, we are witnessing suspicious explosions in oil refin...
Strikes on Iran's Nuclear-Industrial Complex Today - 27 March. Ardekan's Chemical Conversion Facility Heavy water Facility: Arak/Khondab Yazd facility remains operational and the damage is limited. In Khuzestan, Arak, and Isfahan three civilian industrial facilities have been targeted. Does anyone else see a pattern? It is easy to recognize. Really, it is. (and I ended with a linking verb!) The IRGC states they have targeted a port and effectively attacked six U.S. Navy LCU-class combat landing ships. Three in the brink; the remainder afire. * I am unable to confirm the news. But I will be following the blow back as the Iranian military unleashes with their next decisions coming off the quarterdeck. We chose to enter the battlespace during Ramadan. (Not that I personally give a shit.) But neither will the Iranian's be waving palm branches on Sunday morning. Anticipate bullet format, rolling posts if things heat up quickly....
