A celebration like no other in history - American Revolution 2026
We are moving into a season of celebration as we and our allies around the world are shrugging free of the last of the dying New World Order.
All Glory to God - He has indeed shed His grace on us, even after our enemies foreign and domestic were certain we were defeated.
May God bless all who served His purpose in bringing about our miraculous rescue. Father in Heaven, thank you for leading America in battle, and granting her victory.
To commemorate these amazing days, we're invited to celebrate Q+/Q/mil's victory and restoration of America's Independence, and freedom around the world, by attending the historic 17-day Freedom 250 - the Great American State Fair June 25 – July 10, 2026 in Washington DC.
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.

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
Last week I learned that Iran may be smuggling crude oil to China through what's called the dark fleet. The dark fleet,according to grok, refers to a shadow fleet of tankers that transport Iranian and Russian oil. Usually by turning off their AIS transponders to avoid detection.
I wondered how any ships were able to load Iranian crude.
Here's what grok had to say:
Iran loads crude primarily at Kharg Island's T-pier and Eastern jetty. Plus the Kuh Mubarak Single-Point mooring buoy in the Gulf of Oman. They use tactics like going dark by turning off AIS, spoofing locations--which grok says is "faking a ship's position data." Tankers broadcast a false location through their AIS system so it looks like they are somewhere else.They hide where they actually are or what transfers they are doing.
Sometimes they blend other crude oil with Iraqi oil.
Ship-to-ship transfers,often for the dark fleet happen at anchorages like the Eastern Outer Port limits off Malaysia.
I further asked which specifically Eastern Outer Port limits off Malaysia are used?
Grok replied the Eastern Outer Port limits or EOPL, off Malaysia's Southern Johor State. This area is in the South China Sea,roughly seventy kilometers or 45 miles off the coast and it's an unofficial anchorage within Malaysia's Exclusive Economic Zone. So as we see the irgc may be smuggling crude oil from points in or near Iran to eventually wind up in China where it is refined by small "teapot" refineries.
Once the oil is delivered to China,once again accd. to grok,Iran gets paid for its smuggled oil to China mostly through barter. the oil is exchanged for Chinese goods,services,or investments and by using hidden bank accounts and "front" companies to handle payments.
I further asked Grok does Iran receive missiles or drones from China in payment for crude oil?
Here is the reply:
There are reports that Iran has been negotiating with Chinese companies to acquire missiles,drones, and air defense systems as payment of oil.
For example Iran International reported in October 2025 that the Revolutionary Guard was negotiating with Haokun Energy Group to settle nearly a billion-dollar oil debt with weapons transfers.
Other reports also mention surface-to-air missiles and shoulder-fired systems being financed through oil shipments.

The lawless floating gas station where Iranian oil changes hands
Updated Apr 27, 2026
By Lex Harvey,Isaac Yee
From the link:
In the year leading up to its dramatic seizure by US forces in the Indian Ocean, the oil tanker known as the MT Tifani made several trips between Iran and a stretch of water off the coast of Malaysia, around 60 miles from the glitzy skyscrapers of Singapore.
During these trips, it often loitered in a small area before dropping anchor and switching off its mandatory automatic identification system (AIS), according to MarineTraffic data reviewed by CNN.
A while later — sometimes hours, sometimes days — the ship would reappear on AIS.
The seizure of the MT Tifani on Tuesday — and the 1.9 million barrels of Iranian oil US authorities say it was carrying — has pushed the war with Iran into the waters of the Indo-Pacific, thousands of miles from the Persian Gulf.
It's also put a spotlight on this patch of water off Malaysia, roughly half the size of Rhode Island, which expert and CNN analysis shows acts as a floating gas station for Iran, used by its shadow fleet to trade and store oil, funneling desperately needed cash to the regime as the war grinds on.

Here's more from the link:
Most of its shadow fleet consists of Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), according to energy data firm Vortexa — massive tankers like the MT Tifani which can hold up to 2 million barrels of oil.
Much of its sanctioned oil sells at a discount of about $10 less than the global benchmark Brent crude, which has surged above $100 per barrel since the war began, meaning each ship-to-ship transfer nets tens of millions of dollars in revenue for Iran's regime.
The activity in the EOPL has continued since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran at the end of February, restricting the flow of oil from the Middle East. UANI tracked at least 250 ship-to-ship transfers in the EOPL anchorage between January and April 21 of this year.
Iran's use of this area has allowed it to maintain a steady flow of exports throughout the war, bankrolling the regime even as the world contends with a severe oil shortage.
“It's essential to Iran's business model,” said Charlie Brown, senior adviser to UANI, focusing on Iran's shadow fleet.
How the ‘cargo laundering business’ works Ship-to-ship transfers are a routine part of legitimate long-haul shipping, used to boost efficiency and avoid ports.
Large oil tankers frequently offload their cargo to smaller ships because their draft is too deep to enter most ports.(This likely also accomodates the smaller teapot refineries which may or may not accommodate larger ships.) But because these maneuvers carry safety and environmental risks, they are highly regulated and must be done in approved areas, requiring thorough documentation and notification of coastal authorities.
Shadow fleets use ship-to-ship transfers, even when logistically unnecessary, to obscure the origin of the oil they are carrying. They frequently conduct them under the cover of night, shutting off or spoofing(disguising their location) their AIS, making them difficult for authorities to detect.
Broadly speaking, Iran's shadow oil trade follows a similar pattern, involving two sets of ships that help deliver Iranian crude to China.
Ships from the first set pick up the oil, mainly from Iran's primary export facility Kharg Island, and sail across the Indian Ocean through the Malacca and Singapore straits, before anchoring off Malaysia.
MarineTraffic data shows multiple journeys the MT Tifani took between the Persian Gulf and the EOPL from April 2025 until its seizure by US forces in April 2026.

Ships from the second set then receive the oil by ship-to-ship transfer and take it to China, mainly to “teapot” refineries in Shandong province, which are known for buying sanctioned crude.
China does not officially declare Iranian crude imports and often obscures the origin of the oil as Malaysian, said Ying Cong Loh, a crude-oil market analyst at Kpler.
Shadow fleets also forge documents and fly false flags or “flags of convenience,” frequently changing their registration and misrepresenting their cargo to fool authorities.
“They create a new narrative for the new cargo and the new ship,” said Nadimi of the Washington Institute, adding that crew sometimes go as far as to paint a new name or flag on the ship. “This is a cargo laundering business.”
Nefarious activity in the EOPL has long been an open secret in the shipping industry. Brown estimates about 95% of vessels transferring cargo in the area are smuggling Iranian or Russian oil to China.
..........................
more from Brave AI' Iran smuggles crude oil to China primarily through a sophisticated shadow fleet of aging, often uninsured tankers that evade detection by turning off or spoofing their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders. These vessels, which can number up to 1,000 ships including Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), transport Iranian crude from Kharg Island to the Eastern Outer Port Limits (EOPL), a legal gray zone in Malaysia's exclusive economic zone, where they conduct covert ship-to-ship (STS) transfers.
During these transfers, sanctioned tankers offload their cargo onto other vessels, often under the cover of night, to obscure the oil's origin. The oil is then rebranded as coming from countries like Malaysia or Indonesia and shipped to China, where it is processed by independent “teapot” refineries in Shandong province. This network allows Iran to bypass US and UN sanctions, with China accounting for roughly 90% of Iran's oil exports and providing approximately $31 billion in annual revenue to Tehran.
The operation is sustained by Chinese logistical support, including the registration of tanker owners in Chinese cities, the deployment of Chinese crews, and official state directives instructing domestic firms to ignore US sanctions. Despite US enforcement efforts, such as blockades and sanctions on individual vessels, the trade remains resilient due to the fleet's operational maturity, with voyage duration stabilizing and STS operations becoming faster and more efficient.
Approximately 90 million barrels of Iranian oil have been estimated to remain outside US blockades, stored offshore or en route, ensuring continued revenue flows into late 2026.

NOW:
Remigration activists from
@SaveEuropeAct blockade the port entry in Algeciras as an act of peaceful disobedience after 60k illegals crossed into Ceuta, Spain.
They rally to call for European countries to begin remigration
:::::
They carried a banner that read
Europe is not Africa. Stop ethnic replacement.
I would go on to say that one of the sure fire cures for taking out the irgc might be boots on the ground. Just not ours,other than CIA or the equivalent.
If we had not screwed over the kurds time and time again like we did recently:
below from brave AI:
The United States has shifted its policy from direct military support to mediating the integration of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the central Syrian government, a move critics describe as an abandonment of a longtime ally.
(If you have followed historically the US/Kurds episodes over the decades this is nothing new, we have screwed them over and over.)
Minus the desperately needed kurds many of which live in Iran:
If we had CIA,(current company that has been semi-gutted by John Ratcliffe) Mossad and several other intel groups like MI6 and Saudi intel all working together to supply arms to the patriots in Iran eventually a regime change would happen on it's own.
This,IMHO, is what could eventually change the status quo in Iran.
Prayers for you brother!
What kind of Iranian tanker cannot transport oil?
One that is at the bottom of the sea.

Nice to see you on the thread, stranger.

Cannot believe it’s already August.
Just use lard. Cheap and a great lubricant.
Doubt Iran is getting any oil out via the sea once the blockade went into place. AIS isn’t need to track ships via satellite or Navy surface surveillance.
Ideally Iranian citizens can get arms and fight for their freedom. I remember posting a long time abo (can’t remember where I saw this, maybe Jihad Watch) a high ranking Military officer say that if Pahlavi comes back, the military will support him and fight the IRGC
