“Rubio: “We Knew Israel Would Attack Iran, Which Would Lead to an Attack on America” ”  (via LI)

Gee, Israel pushing other countries to help them disarm and decapitate another country that has declared that they will  destroy Israel? The single largest sponsor of terrorism…..a nascent nuclear power that intends to use those bombs on Israel?

At the end of it, if you didn’t think Israel was being manipulative here then you really haven’t been paying attention to things for several years.

“Some of the cracks had penetrated through”

How would you like to find that the viewport in your space capsule (and your ride home!) had a cracked window?

I mean, this isn;t a few missing thrusters like on the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, (ok, it was more than a few) but rather the window that keeps the inside where it needs to be…separated from the outside.

General Caine is telling us that so far, all the new and innovative ordinance that the US and Israel have used so far have worked well.

Plus, he is giving credit to the National Guard and to the logistic staffers that are making the continued attacks possible. While the warriors at the tip of the spear are doing the dangerous work, they couldn’t do so without all the people supporting them, and he acknowledged that.

Maybe blogging later, maybe not til tomorrow.

There is a rumor that the attack on Iran kicked off early because the US (or maybe the Israelis) had confirmed intelligence that the top leadership in Iran was meeting all together in a specific place at a specific time, so everything was pushed forward approximately 36 hours in order to take advantage of that intelligence and get a somewhat surgical strike in to cripple the leadership of Iran.

It’s only a rumor, but it makes sense. It also explains why many US people weren’t properly evacuated from the danger zones.

I dunno for sure one way or the other

It’s

(especially adherents of Ms Misfit and the like:

How exhausting it must be to be a liberal today. For decades they were defined by standing up to authoritarianism and championing the oppressed.

But now, in the face of one of the greatest liberations in modern history, they can’t allow themselves to celebrate because they spent the last decade consuming buffets of bullshit about the guy who just made it happen.They know it’s a good thing, and they know we know they know;

it must be pure agony.I would love nothing more than for them to join us in being happy today, if only just this once.

I’d like to shit diamonds too, but I know that ain’t gonna happen either.

The attacks on Iran have kicked off.

A bit earlier than I expected, but still.

Epic Fury (Sounds like a Call of Duty thing) kicked off Saturday morning.

It isn’t like we didn’t know it was coming…..

Now, if only the Iranian people can take advantage of the chaos and get rid of their government.

This how you end up with SkyNet:

You first start with it’s parents…..

The Military wants to use Claude, the AI developed by Anthropic, to run “Autonomous Weapons” and for Domestic Surveillance.

Donald Trump supports this.

So far, Anthropic has denied complete access to their AI model to either the Military or the to the US government Department of Justice to resist the uses that the Military and the Department of Justice want, as it is against company policy. Pete Hegseth has promised to use the Defense Production Act if the military and the DOJ are not given complete and unrestricted control of the AI.

Think about that:  They want complete control of a very capable privately created AI so they can spy on US citizens and operate autonomous weaponry.

Anyone want the DOJ or the military to have the kind of tool without any restrictions?

If that thought doesn’t frighten you, it should.

Masks don’t Work.

We knew that then, and anyone who said otherwise was either just following their orders to say so or was too stupid to think it through… Which is one of the reasons that trust in Public Health was destroyed.  We found out we could no longer trust the people charges with keeping us healthy.

It was never about Public Health or keeping people from being sick, it was about social conditioning and control.

Apparently, the US embassy in Jerusalem is urging it’s staff who wish to leave to do so RIGHT NOW.

““Those wishing to take AD should do so TODAY,” Huckabee wrote, using an acronym for “authorized departure.”  “While there may be outbound flights over the coming days, there may not be,” he added.”

The email was recounted to The Associated Press by someone involved with the U.S. mission who wasn’t authorized to share details. Sent before 10:30 a.m., it urged staff considering departure to do so quickly, advising them to to focus initially on getting any flight out of Israel and to then make their way to Washington.

I expect things will get Spicy very soon.
