The source just told me that 34 more commanders by the IRGC’s intelligence organisation have been arrested.
“All of them were loyal to Qasem Soleimani”
Second look at Scott Adams crazy idea?
Probably more likely that the missile cut comms.
If the pilot had radioed, we’d have it.
His father-in-law owns a shipping company and one of their boats got caught with a load of coke. His wife is American Chinese.
Why do people keep saying it took during the barrage. I read that it took off 4 hours after the “barrage”.
Was that the shadow vengeance or attack on US sites for sale of appearances thing?

Thanks to you both. Feeling really guilty that I didn’t research it myself when I didn’t understand it.
Ha,me too but this way sure was easy :)
Yeah, that 4 hour thing has been confirmed.
Still, a questionable move (strategy) by IRGC (who control the airport).
Releasing a commercial flight while waiting to see a response?
That’s target practice, right there.
Libertarianism is another unworkable utopian political philosophy divorced from reality. On the one hand, their positions will obviously lead to total breakdown socially, and anarchy with huge crime increases. On the other hand, they claim they want no social welfare system, and low taxes.
It’s even (if possible) more unworkable than straight up communism. If Libertarianism were actually applied, it would lead quickly to total anarchy which would lead to some kind of dictatorship, either national or local robber baron type.
Here’s their current platform but have not had time to look at it in depth. I used to argue with them on FR years ago and searched tehir platform many times.
A few points:
1.1 Self-Ownership
Individuals own their bodies and have rights over them that other individuals, groups, and governments may not violate. Individuals have the freedom and responsibility to decide what they knowingly and voluntarily consume, and what risks they accept to their own health, finances, safety, or life.
1.8 Death Penalty
We oppose the administration of the death penalty by the state. [DON’T KILL THE CRIMINALS!]
1.5 Abortion
Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration. [KILL THE KIDS!]
1.4 Personal Relationships
Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration, or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, promote, license, or restrict personal relationships, regardless of the number of participants. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Until such time as the government stops its illegitimate practice of marriage licensing, such licenses must be granted to all consenting adults who apply.
2.10 Sex Work
The Libertarian Party supports the decriminalization of prostitution. We assert the right of consenting adults to provide sexual services to clients for compensation, and the right of clients to purchase sexual services from consenting sex workers. [NO HOLDS BARRED PROSTITUTION!]
3.4 Free Trade and Migration
We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders. [WHEEE OPEN BORDERS!]
Just did a search on their site to find out what they think in regards to the Constitution. It will take more time than I have right now but I’ll see if I can find a bit. Hmmm...
Military Tribunals Are an Affront to Our Constitution

Not much I find at the moment but may look further later.

“All of them were loyal to Qasem Soleimani”
A.Khamenei has invited the commanders of all proxies to Tehran today.He wants to organise them under the command of his son&new commander of Quds force. However,highly unlikely groups’d listen to Khamenei because they were loyal to Soleimani. Shia crescent is unofficially dead.

Iran is in deep crisis at home. An MP’s office in Tabriz was attacked, commanders loyal to Soleimani getting arrested, people ask the regime to end its 40 years of hostilities against US and regional countries, and now the regime has started detaining its own journalists.

Okay, thank you.
Sure was strange to have Meadows saying it was the best intel update ever.
Left out something:
1.1 Self-Ownership
Individuals own their bodies and have rights over them that other individuals, groups, and governments may not violate. Individuals have the freedom and responsibility to decide what they knowingly and voluntarily consume, and what risks they accept to their own health, finances, safety, or life.
[WHEE BATH SALTS!]
Thanks.

That is interesting. Maybe intel on other-than-Iranian involvment.
Military said Iran tried to kill soldiers, understandable. Shells exploded at a base. I think Iran knew we had bunkers that would protect them. Big gamble by Iran, but they are crazy so unpredictable.
I’m going with “major screwup by a low level Iranian” for now.
Something took out comms on the plane I’m guessing. If the pilots had radioed, wouldn’t we have picked it up? I’m thinking we would have.
Thanks!
thanx. needed this
