New Article: Building an OSINT Pipeline to Cut Through the Iranian Conflict Noise. SPOILER ALERT: We're winning. I just published a long-form analysis on the Iran conflict and the strategic dynamics around it. Sorry for the Substack-only publication; the article itself was far too long and complex in formatting to publish with 𝕏 tooling. (Feedback to the 𝕏 team - if you can just make full Markdown capability, I would be thrilled.) Before anything else: I'm only a civilian data analyst, not a military officer or intelligence professional. This piece is the result of two weeks of intensive work where...

AUTHOR’S NOTE I’m a civilian data analyst. I am not a former military officer, intelligence analyst, or defense policy professional. I did something stupid for this article: I pirated a lot of military texts, mirrored multiple websites such as CSIS, loaded my workstation with every bit of data that I could think of, and threw it at AI agents. This was for my own education as much as it was yours. For military strategy and doctrine, I have relied on credentialed professional analysts: CSIS, ISW, CEPA, the Institute for Science and International Security, CENTCOM and IDF public statements, and Gen....

https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2027028749280313471 DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublicanI already generated a dossier on Spanberger, but the most interesting part of it is that she is part of a cohort of 50+ military-intelligence veterans that have been recruited to run as Democratic candidates starting in 2018. @SomeBitchIIKnow first hypothesized this, but my new dossier pipeline independently captured them.A Democrat retires. A CIA member takes over.Spanberger is part of a much deeper, much more disturbing story here.https://x.com/JohnFisher9372/status/2027003153481109960 John Fisher@JohnFisher9372·6hReplying to @DataRepublican and @jammles9Well done! I have a request. At some point do the same for Abigail Spanberger. I believe she is much more likely to...

The famous DataRepublican data analyst dropped damaging information she had gathered about Code Pink's connections to the communist Chinese government after the group threatened legal action against her. The database kernel engineer, whose real name is Jennica Pounds, said Wednesday on social media that the group sent her a message accusing her of libel. "We are writing to formally address and correct the false and defamatory statements made in your recent social media posts regarding CODEPINK," the group reportedly wrote. "These claims — which falsely allege that our organization is funded by China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any...

31 NGOs behind 1,000+ protests this Saturday have been exposed by @DataRepublican —and the FBI is now investigating “any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”.. This isn’t grassroots. It’s Color Revolution 2.0—a coordinated, funded insurrection backed by shadowy donors. According to @DataRepublican , the “No Kings” rally is tied to 31 left-wing NGOs, including the ACLU Foundation, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Color of Change. Follow the grant money and you’ll find the usual suspects: Open Society, Schwab Charitable, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Some groups openly push Marxist ideology. Others were caught handing out riot gear used in...

Democrats love to pretend the morons who take to the streets and encourage others to punch people are somehow an organic movement, but of course, they're not. We're finding out that nine times out of 10, someone somewhere is paying them to do it. And that someone is usually a Soros. Twitchy favorite @DataRepublican put together a thread on the violent, so-called anti-Nazi protest in New York City yesterday, and gosh, golly, gee, once again this was not organic at all. Duh.

Jennica Pounds has become perhaps the most prominent personality — after its leader — behind an organization to which she has no direct or official ties: Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. And no one even knew her name until about two months ago — by design. “I’ve always been a recluse, a big introvert,” the 43-year-old mother of two tells The Post from her Utah home. “Being thrust into fame in such a sudden manner, in a polarizing manner, was just shocking. Known as DataRepublican on X, Pounds — petite in oversized black sunglasses and a beige cardigan, with...

DataRepublican strikes AGAIN, this time with a fairly scary yet accurate portrayal just how George Soros planned to use NGOs for his New World Order. We know, that sounds fairly dramatic but when you read what she put together ... It's a real humdinger. Take a look: @DataRepublican 🧵THREAD: GEORGE SOROS, THE MASTERMIND Today's systems of NGOs isn't accidental - it was laid out in a vision 30 years ago by none other than George Soros. I joined @MikeBenzCyber on a livestream last night, where he was kind enough to walk us through the basics. As my bio says, I...

Activist engineer DataRepublican said that left-wing operatives doxxed her husband in an attempt to intimidate the couple into silence, but the effort backfired when it was countered by her supporters. The data engineer, whose real name is Jennica Pounds, said that a left-wing group posted that her husband owned a distillery business in hopes that it might be shut down by critics on the left. She is also deaf and nonverbal. Instead, the business flourished as a result. "So, two days ago, the doxxing website DOGEQUEST, primed by an article by the [Salt Lake Tribune], slapped my husband’s distillery front...

DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublicanThis is the first time I've felt like breaking down. But that means letting them win.Look... I don't know who you are. Unless you're Bill Kristol, I don't know why you hate me so. I gave up a lucrative career to do this. It was never for money.Why am I doing this? I know numbers. I see that my children have no future unless we tame spending. And as we are finding out, taming spending, also means taming the corruption in the government.The numbers don't lie. Look at them, logically. Look at how much of our economy is...

Introducing the top 10 stories they chose not to tell you this week. #10 - DataRepublican Blows the Lid Off $17 Million ‘Democracy’ Scam The data scientist revealed that “States United Democracy Center,” an NGO co-founded by Norm Eisen, received $17M—and “the only thing they did with $17M was make a terrible muppet show.” “That’s (explicit word)!” she exclaimed. “They got money, and they did something with that. It was just awful. Jim Henson would roll in his grave. And it was weird because all the videos have less than 200 views,” DataRepublican explained. “They didn’t even try to promote...

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican FYI, attacking my husband's small business is unfair. He is an honest man who works hard.

DataRepublican revealed on Tuesday that she had been "doxxed." She chose to reclaim control of the situation by unveiling her identity. "I have been doxxed. Rather than let others control the narrative, I am addressing this directly," she wrote in a post on X. "I am 100% Deaf and nonverbal," she explained. "My lack of signing fluency does not make me any less Deaf. It is a result of a language impairment related to my autism called expressive dysphasia, which affects my ability to construct language fluently in real-time." Pounds stated that she had "recently resigned" from her job, announcing...

One recipient, CONSORTIUM FOR ELECTIONS & POLITICAL PROCESS STRENGTHENING, is the recipient of 48 active grants worth $528 million, all awarded from USAID and going to various nations.

Khamenei should have learned from Maduro. He didn't. He's now in the past tense.President Trump promised the people of Iran the United States would help them overthrow the Islamic dictatorship, and on Saturday he delivered. A joint attack with Israel killed the ayatollah and 7 of his henchmen generals. The bombing continued. We added to the list of the unalive a few other generals and of course our old friend, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the original Holocaust Denier.The lightning swift initial victory calmed my nervousness about this turning into another Iraq. The reality is this will not turn into a wider war....

In three recent posts (one w/ video), Dr. Andrew Paquette lays out evidence of apparent current election rigging in the still-ongoing March 3 Republican Primary Election in Bexar County (San Antonio) TX.

Glenn Greenwald The leading icon of the American Right in the 1960s into the 1970s was Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ). He was so beloved that the party’s base made him their presidential nominee in 1964 despite the widespread belief that he was too “extreme” to ever get elected (LBJ crushed him in a landslide). He represented Arizona in the US Senate for 30 years. Goldwater (whose father was Jewish) talked to Pat Buchanan in 1988 about many topics. Here’s what he said about Israeli influence in the US:

The company responsible for the technical backbone of the controversial CBP One app - responsible for the mass, streamlined entry of illegal aliens into the U.S. under Joe Biden - is foreign-owned with ties to the British government and U.S. employees donating to Democratic candidates. Given the sizable damage CBP One inflicted on the U.S., these conflicts of interest demonstrate a partisan bias and concerning foreign ties. ...

On February 2, Congress approved full-year appropriations for nearly every major federal agency, except the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is temporarily funded until February 13. Following the tragic shootings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, Democrats have threatened to block full-year funding for the DHS unless Republicans agree to restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement … Traditionally, defense, immigration, and border control agencies are funded through discretionary appropriations—an annual process in which Congress is supposed to reassess and adjust overall funding levels for roughly one-fourth of all government spending. Because Congress must affirmatively approve this category of spending...

Former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has quietly taken a role as a Visiting Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, an institution long entangled with Chinese influence networks, foreign government funding, and open-borders activism. Previously led by former CIA Director William Burns, the think tank has whitewashed his historically awful tenure at DHS: “In that position, he led 260,000 employees to achieve transformational change in a diverse set of missions, including counterterrorism and physical security, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, trade and travel, immigration, and response to natural disasters. He has been lauded for his leadership skills, raising employee morale to...
