Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Those who attack you.

Those who label you.
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.

How Ayatollah ran $95 BILLION business empire built by seizing thousands of Iranians’ properties then selling them for profit
Excerpt:
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei left behind a corrupt and repressive legacy, following his assassination on February 28.
.....His 36 years and eight months leading Iran resulted in the mass repression of women, the slaughter of civilians and the funding of terror groups including Hamas and Hezbollah.
But among the most wicked things he did was to amass a business empire worth an estimated $95billion by systematically seizing thousands of properties belonging to ordinary Iranians.
Khamenei’s business empire was held under Setad, a little-known organisation set up by Ruhollah Khomeini just before his death.
Its full name in Persian is ‘Setad Ejraiye Farmane Hazrate Emam’ - Headquarters for Executing the Order of the Imam.
It was one of the keys to the now-dead Iranian leader’s power and holds stakes in nearly every sector of Iranian industry, including finance, oil, telecommunications, the production of birth-control pills and even ostrich farming.
A Reuters investigation in 2013 found Setad amassed a giant portfolio of real estate by claiming in Iranian courts, sometimes falsely, that the properties are abandoned.
The organization holds a court-ordered monopoly on taking property in the name of the supreme leader, and regularly sells the seized properties at auction or seeks to extract payments from the original owners.
Under Khamenei, the organization expanded its corporate holdings, buying stakes in dozens of Iranian companies, both private and public, with the stated goal of creating an Iranian conglomerate to boost the country’s economic growth.
Setad’s total worth is difficult to pinpoint because of the secrecy of its accounts. Reuters estimated it at around $95billion, made up of about $52billion in real estate and $43billion in corporate holdings.
While there is no evidence that Khamenei used Setad to enrich himself, it did empower him. Through Setad, Khamenei had at his disposal financial resources whose value rivals the holdings of the shah, the Western-backed monarch who was overthrown in 1979.
.....On top of the wealth accrued under Setad, Khamenei’s son Mojtaba has amassed a vast portfolio that includes mega-mansions in London, an exclusive villa in Dubai and several luxury European hotels.
A year-long investigation into the 56-year-old’s foreign investments has revealed the full eyewatering extent of his sprawling wealth - which touches Persian Gulf shipping, Swiss bank accounts and luxury property - as well as the complex network that has allowed him to evade western sanctions imposed on him in 2019.
According to the US Treasury Department, sanctions were imposed because he represented the Supreme Leader in ‘an official capacity despite never being elected or appointed to a government position’.
Mojtaba was found to have worked closely with the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force, as well as be connected to the Basij, a religious militia affiliated with the Guards ‘to advance his father’s destabilizing regional ambitions and oppressive domestic objectives’.
.....According to research by Bloomberg, Mojtaba’s name never appears on the multiple assets he owns - which are acquired through a spider network of shell companies, middle men and bank accounts held in the UK, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), through deals that stretch back to 2011.
The shell companies and intermediaries have been established across a wide geographical spread covering the UAE, Isle of Man, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Europe.
In the UK alone, Mojtaba - considered to be one of the most powerful men in the Middle East and tipped by supporters to succeed his father - is said to own a string of more than a dozen mansions worth in excess of £100million, according to insiders.
His portfolio includes a house in The Bishops Avenue, dubbed London’s ‘Billionaires’ Row’, which was purchased for £33.7million in 2014.
.....As for the funding of this substantial portfolio, Mojtaba is believed to have siphoned off profit from Iranian oil sales, before funneling it through his opaque network to evade international sanctions aimed at curbing Tehran’s military and political operations.
The wealth accrued under the Khamenei name stands in stark contrast to the long-deteriorating economy of Iran, and the effect this had on its 93 million people

Sorry I’m late; got lost.
“Once I was lost, now I am found.”
The 12th imam hidden in the well at Qom. Hope that at some point the well gets bombed and puts to rest the idea that he will come back and bring the end of times and judgement with him. Would be better if one of the Islamic States did that or one of the Peoples Repubic missles were redirected into the well.
I’m pretty sure it was oil and steel.

Silicon Valley got a HUGE warning from one of its own founders.
Not about regulation or about competition.
About the entire belief system the tech industry was built on.
Peter Thiel says AI is not coming for the writers first.
It is coming for the math people.
The coders, quants, engineers.
The people Silicon Valley put on a pedestal for two decades.
His argument is devastatingly simple.
Within a few years, AI will solve the hardest math problems on Earth faster than any human alive.
Google DeepMind already won gold at the International Math Olympiad last summer.
Solving five of six problems in natural language within the time limit.
Here is the part nobody talks about.
Math has been the gatekeeper of power for over 200 years.
It started during the French Revolution, verbal ability ran in aristocratic families.
Math was seen as the great equalizer, distributed randomly, impossible to inherit.
So society made math the test for everything.
Medical school, engineering, finance, tech hiring.
Want to be a neurosurgeon? First prove you can do calculus.
Thiel asks the obvious question:
What does calculus have to do with operating on someone's brain?
Then he goes darker.
By the Soviet era, putting math geniuses and chess grandmasters on pedestals was not about celebrating intelligence.
It was about control.
The math people, Thiel says, are singularly clueless about the world.
Elevating them keeps everyone else trying to be like them instead of questioning the system.
Sound familiar?
Silicon Valley in the 21st century took this bias and supercharged it.
Leetcode interviews, algorithmic screening and the entire industry filters for one type of mind.
And that type of mind is about to be replicated by a machine for pennies.
Thiel has seen this movie before.
In the late 1980s, he was a competitive chess player.
He believed chess should be the universal test of intelligence.
Then IBM's Deep Blue crushed Garry Kasparov in 1997.
Chess mastery went from pinnacle of human genius to party trick overnight.
And math is next.
So who wins? The word people, he says.
The communicators, storytellers, negotiators.
The ones who understand context, nuance, and human complexity.
LinkedIn's 2026 data already shows it.
Communication skills appear twice as often in job postings.
Leadership, public speaking, and storytelling are the fastest rising demands.
The creator of Anthropic's coding tool admitted he has not written a single line of code himself since November.
Companies are cutting thousands of technical workers.
Block went from 10,000 employees to under 6,000.
The math moat is not shrinking, it is gone.
For 20 years, society told liberal arts majors they were wasting their time.
Barista degrees, they called them.
Turns out the people who learned to think in words, not numbers, may have been training for exactly this moment.
The question is whether the institutions built on math supremacy universities, tech companies, hiring pipelines can adapt before they become obsolete.
● Peter Thiel is betting they cannot
→ and he has been right before.
March 3 2026 – Day 4 of Operation Epic Fury (US) / Roaring Lion (Israel)
New wave of simultaneous strikes launched on Tehran and Beirut. Focus on remaining IRGC command centers, state broadcaster facilities, naval assets, and Hezbollah military infrastructure. US President Trump states campaign “may last weeks” to ensure complete degradation of threats. No ground invasion.
| Date | Key Targets | Methods | Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 3 (ongoing) | Tehran (IRGC command centers, state broadcaster); Bushehr naval bases; Natanz nuclear-linked site; Hezbollah military sites in Beirut and southern Lebanon | Israeli Air Force precision waves; US carrier aircraft and Tomahawk salvos; coordinated drone operations | Multiple IRGC command nodes destroyed; 11 Iranian naval vessels sunk; state broadcaster facilities hit; Natanz further damaged; Hezbollah weapons storage and command posts neutralized; Iranian death toll now at 787 |
Notes: Strikes limited to military, leadership, and proxy military targets. Air superiority maintained. Operations continue to prevent any reconstitution of capabilities.
nice work!
You've caught me shy... I didn't even know about that. I am a bit surprised Russia went to the expense - but I only have a basic knowledge of those systems. I have never personally used GPS, although I have ridden with my son who does sometimes use it.
