Do they represent you?
Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.
Where We Go 1, We Go All
President Trump will hold a National Security Council meeting in the morning…
Also, when asked if Israel shared their plans with the US about the attack, citing the early evacuations of American personnel, President Trump says Israel didn’t tell them anything.
When asked if Trump is trying to talk Netanyahu out of conflict, he said, “THIS IS NOT A US WAR, BiBi can do what he’s got to do.” https://t.co/NLcowDnqyK pic.twitter.com/KjSbimbDOx— MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) June 13, 2025

How Israeli Military Technology Continues to Improve the US Military
The responses to Israeli security challenges that were adopted on the battlefields of the American military
https://www.inss.org.il/publication/usa-army-idf/
Excerpt:
.....From tank protection systems to artificial intelligence-powered warfare solutions, Israeli defense firms and research institutions have consistently delivered cutting-edge innovations that have found their way into the American military. Many of these technologies were born out of Israel’s unique security challenges and its need for rapid innovation in urban and asymmetric warfare. The US military has adopted many of Israel’s systems and integrated them into combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and various counterterrorism operations worldwide.
The Israeli Emergency Bandage: A Battlefield Lifesaver
While Israeli innovations have shaped military doctrine and force structures, they have also had a direct impact on individual warfighters, as seen in battlefield medical advancements. The Emergency Bandage—a simple yet highly effective hemorrhage control dressing developed by an Israeli military medic—has saved countless American lives. First introduced in the 1990s, the bandage features a built-in pressure applicator that allows soldiers to treat severe wounds with one hand.
The US military adopted the Emergency Bandage in the early 2000s, particularly as it faced increasing casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan due to IEDs and small arms fire. It is now standard issue in the individual first aid kits of American soldiers, special operations forces, and first responders.
Armored Bulldozers: A Critical Urban Warfare Tool
The Israeli military’s adaptation of the D9 bulldozer into a heavily armored combat bulldozer offered a battlefield-tested model that directly influenced American operations in Iraq. In 2003, the US military procured 14 Israeli-armored D9s, developed by Israel’s military engineering corps, for use in combat zones like Iraq. While it remains uncertain where these specific units were deployed in Iraq, their acquisition illustrates the growing recognition of Israeli expertise in modifying heavy equipment for urban warfare. Some reports indicate that armored D9s were used in the Second Battle of Fallujah, possibly equipped with Israeli-designed armor kits that enabled US forces to breach barricades, demolish fortified positions, and reduce the risk to dismounted troops. In Israeli service, the D9 has been heavily employed in Gaza, where it has been used to clear booby-trapped buildings, uncover tunnel shafts, and breach barricades under fire—often while under threat from IEDs and anti-tank missiles.
.....Active Protection Systems: Trophy’s Battlefield Impact
Israeli advancements in force protection have dramatically increased the survivability of armored platforms in combat. The Trophy Active Protection System (APS) is one of the most significant Israeli contributions to armored warfare. Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the Trophy APS provides a layered defense against incoming anti-tank guided missiles and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), automatically detecting, tracking, and intercepting threats before they reach the vehicle. First battle-tested by the Israel Defense Forces in 2011, the Trophy APS quickly proved its effectiveness in combat situations......The Trophy APS revolutionized urban warfare by reducing this vulnerability, allowing tanks to maneuver through the labyrinth of dense urban combat with far greater survivability.
Recognizing the increasing threat of modern anti-tank weapons, the US Army integrated the Trophy APS onto M1 Abrams main battle tanks beginning in 2018. By 2020, Trophy-equipped Abrams tanks had been deployed in Europe. Its ability to keep tanks in the fight by neutralizing anti-tank guided missiles has significantly influenced armored warfare for both nations.
Furthermore, as unmanned aerial threats evolve, the Trophy APS is now being adapted to counter drone-based attacks......
Countering IEDs
During the Iraq War, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) produced a majority of US casualties. They were so devastating that General John Abizaid, the commander of US Central Forces Command, asked for a “Manhattan project-like” effect to counter the threat in 2004. One of the first places the United States turned to for help was Israel. Having faced IED threats for years from Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations, Israel’s counter-IED capability far exceeded that of the United States. Israel shared these technologies with the United States, providing it with vehicle-mounted microwave devices called Dragon Spike and Dragon Spike II to test in Iraq and Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. These devices were not a silver bullet to the IED problem, but they did help jump-start the United States’ counter-IED efforts.
Military Working Dogs: K9 Corps
Israel’s combat experience in dense urban areas has shaped its highly specialized use of dogs, and these operational lessons have increasingly informed US military practice. The IDF’s Oketz Unit began refining off-leash, with the handler using radios to pass commands beyond line of sight, canine tactics in the 1990s, where handlers faced environments too dangerous or constrained to accompany their dogs directly. In response, Oketz developed techniques to train dogs to operate independently—entering buildings, tunnels, or ambush-prone corridors to detect and neutralize threats without direct handler oversight. During operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, US forces began to adopt similar methods, sending dogs ahead to scout confined spaces and reduce risks to personnel......
Counter-Tunneling Technologies: Lessons from Israel’s Underground War
Israel has long faced the challenge of subterranean threats, particularly from Hamas and Hezbollah, which have developed extensive tunnel networks for smuggling, infiltration, and surprise attacks. In response, Israel has pioneered cutting-edge counter-tunneling technologies, integrating ground-penetrating radar, seismic sensors, AI-driven detection systems, and rapid tunnel-neutralization techniques. For almost a decade, the United States and Israel have collaborated on developing anti-tunnel technology to address these complex challenges. This partnership has led to the United States–Israel Anti-Tunnel Cooperation Enhancement Act, which authorizes $80 million annually—matched dollar for dollar by the Israeli government—to scale up essential anti-tunnel cooperation. This collaboration has directly influenced US border security strategies, particularly along the US–Mexico border, where drug cartels and human smugglers have constructed increasingly sophisticated underground passages.
By leveraging Israeli-developed sensors and detection methodologies—many tested and refined in high-threat environments like Gaza and Lebanon—US Customs and Border Protection has enhanced its ability to locate and dismantle these tunnels before they become operational......
Targeting Pods and Precision Rockets: An Israeli-American Airpower Advantage
Originally developed by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and now co-produced with Northrop Grumman, the LITENING targeting pod has become a cornerstone of precision airstrike capability for the US Air Force. Designed for real-time target acquisition, tracking, and laser designation, the pod is now being used aboard F-16s in a novel role: enabling the use of laser-guided Hydra-70 rockets, upgraded through the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS). In current operations against Houthi-launched one-way attack drones, US aircraft are pairing the LITENING targeting pod with APKWS to destroy drones at a fraction of the cost of traditional air-to-air missiles. Each APKWS shot costs approximately $35,000–$40,000, compared to the $400,000–$500,000 cost of an AIM-9 Sidewinder or the $1 million price tag of an AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (MRAAM). This innovative pairing of Israeli-developed targeting systems with affordable US precision munitions reflects a growing shift toward cost-effective, scalable solutions for countering drone threats—challenges that have become a hallmark of modern airpower.
Israeli Enhancements to the F-35: Improving US Air Superiority
Israel has also played a crucial role in enhancing US airpower. The F-35 Lightning II, considered the most advanced stealth fighter globally, has benefited from Israeli-driven modifications that have expanded its capabilities. The Israeli Air Force was the first international operator of the aircraft, designating the F-35I the “Adir,” and quickly adapted the platform to its unique operational environment......
One of the most significant adaptations occurred when Israeli engineers, working with Lockheed Martin and the Pentagon’s F-35 Program, developed a new capability allowing the external carriage of large-diameter precision-guided munitions on the aircraft’s wings. Originally designed to carry munitions solely in its internal weapons bay to maintain stealth, the Adir is now the only F-35 in the world to have conducted operational strikes using externally carried munitions......
Iron Beam: Addressing the Drone Threat
One of the greatest emerging threats on the battlefield is the widespread use of enemy drones, particularly in swarming attacks that overwhelm traditional air defense systems. In response, Israel has developed the Iron Beam, the world’s first high-energy laser air defense system. Developed by the Israeli defense technology company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the Iron Beam complements Israel’s existing Iron Dome air defense system with a cost-effective, near-limitless means of intercepting drones, rockets, and mortars. Unlike missile-based defense systems such as the Iron Dome, which require expensive interceptors, the Iron Beam neutralizes threats using laser energy......
AI-Powered Warfare: The Future of Combat
.....The US military is also actively developing AI-driven technologies, sometimes leading the way and, at other times, drawing insights from Israeli advancements:
Harpy and Harop Loitering Munitions. Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) developed these AI-enabled autonomous drones, capable of detecting and striking enemy targets without direct operator input. The US military has increasingly tested similar AI-powered loitering munitions for counter-radar and counter-vehicle applications.
Fire Weaver Battle Management System. Rafael’s Fire Weaver enables real-time target acquisition and optimized engagement using AI-powered coordination. The United States has experimented with similar sensor-to-shooter networks for improving battlefield situational awareness.
AI-Powered Counter-Drone Systems. Rafael’s Drone Dome is an AI-powered counter-drone system designed to detect, classify, and neutralize enemy drones. As drone threats from non-state actors continue to rise, the US military has adopted similar AI-driven counter-drone technologies to enhance the protection of bases and forward-operating units.
CARMEL AI Armored Vehicle. Israel’s CARMEL project integrates AI into armored fighting vehicles for semi-autonomous operations. The US Army’s Next-Generation Combat Vehicle program is evaluating AI-assisted technologies similar to those pioneered in the CARMEL project.
AI-Based Cyber Defense and Signals Intelligence. Israeli defense firms, many led by Unit 8200 veterans, have pioneered AI-enhanced cybersecurity and signals intelligence solutions. The US military and intelligence agencies have likely worked closely with Israeli firms to integrate AI-driven tools and predictive threat analysis into their operations.
These AI advancements underscore the broader evolution of Israeli defense technology, which continues to shape the future of warfare in partnership with the United States.
From kinetic defense systems like the Trophy APS and the Iron Dome to cutting-edge AI applications in battle management and cyber warfare, Israel’s military innovations have significantly enhanced US combat capabilities. The unique challenges faced by the Israeli Defense Forces—urban warfare, asymmetric threats, and high-tech adversaries—have led to significant advancements that align closely with the needs of US forces. Additionally, Israeli modifications to the F-35 and the development of the Iron Beam showcase how the US–Israeli defense partnership is not just about adoption but also co-evolution, advancing military technology to stay ahead of emerging threats.
As warfare evolves, the US–Israeli defense partnership will remain at the forefront of military innovation, ensuring both nations stay ahead of emerging threats and shape the battlefields of the future.
