Post 1B

Welcome to our Q thread.

It's impossible to learn about Trump's successes and strategies by following the MSM.

Much preparation has gone into the strategy now unfolding in D.C. The groundwork has been laid and the path to justice is almost cleared of barriers.

By learning all we can, we are supporting President Trump's vision for our country.

MAGA!

Our prior Q thread is here:Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 02/01/26


Special Guest Post:

Bonjour y'all! Laissez le bon Trump rouler!!!

Know your Nautical Terminology

We continue our new series of items highlighting with humanity’s early exploration of Earth’s oceans, lakes, and rivers and leading to the use of watercraft for transportation and commerce.

Last month I covered the oldest know examples of water craft. Of course, any self-respecting canoe needs a means of propelling it through the water.

One of the oldest known paddles is the Duvensee paddle (from northern Germany, discovered in 1926 at an early Mesolithic site), dated to around 10,000–9,000 years ago (circa 8000 BCE or earlier in the Mesolithic era). It is widely regarded as among the earliest direct evidence for paddle use in water transport, as it was found at a site with evidence of watercraft activity.

Another strong contender is a pine wood paddle from Åkermyra in Dalarna, Sweden (held in the Swedish History Museum), radiocarbon dated to approximately 7040–6640 BCE (about 9,000 years ago). This artifact, found in a bog, is highlighted as remarkable evidence of advanced boatbuilding and seafaring knowledge in prehistoric times, including crossings like those to Gotland island.

The Duvensee Paddle

 

There are oral history reports of older African paddles use for disciplining wildebeests instead of propelling water craft. These were used by Africans to paddle their own Gnus.

Thanks for all you do RN,always much appreciated!!

...............................

The big question now is will Pahlavi save the day?

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-888322

Pahlavi: Iran is 'not Iraq,' nation will hold free elections, establish ties with Israel

Pahlavi expressed immense gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his role in the operation and for his words of encouragement to Iran's citizens.

Pahlavi declares intention to lead a transitional government "Many Iranians, often despite facing bullets, have called on me to lead this transition," Pahlavi wrote, expressing his intention to assume leadership of Iran. "I have answered their call," he added.

Iran, he wrote, will draft and ratify a new constitution before holding "free elections under international oversight."

Pahlavi added that the new government would immediately recognize and establish relations with the State of Israel - a move which would "transform the Middle East."

Gratitude and praise for Trump

Pahlavi expressed immense gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his role in the operation and for his words of encouragement to Iran's citizens.

In the last two months, he wrote, Iranian citizens have been slaughtered by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and "called on the free world to stand with them."

"President Trump," Pahlavi claimed, "has answered the call."

Pahlavi went on to praise Trump's "moral clarity and decisive action" in withdrawing from the Joint Plan of Action, an "irresponsible nuclear plan," during his first term in 2018.

"Trump will be remembered as the leader who stood with [the Iranian people] when it mattered most," Pahlavi wrote.

"God bless America. Long live Iran."
