Time for a thread about Open Source Intelligence, Aggregation, and Foreign Influence Operations.

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was a badass. Shot multiple times in the Civil War, didn’t lose a limb, lived, and beat the traitorous confederates.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

Uh. The White House is officially elevating the Confederacy to be part of American “unity.”

This is Robert E. Lee SURRENDERING.

The treason of this government is endless and must be put down like the last rebellion.

Today in 1863, a 34-year-old college professor from Maine named Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain helps fend off repeated Confederate attacks against the left flank of the Union line at Gettysburg. The fight for Little Round Top will become one of the battle's most celebrated moments.

[Happy Bayonets!!! Day to all who celebrate.]

US response to Iranian attacks on shipping is to strike targets that have already been bombed.

*EXCLUSIVE* interview with Iraq’s new Prime Minister in Baghdad. He tells me:

US companies will be given top priority investing in Iraq

500k bpd of Iraqi oil will go toward replenishing the US SPR

Iraq will consider “suspending” its membership in OPEC if barred from producing in line with with their capabilities

Corruption will be “suffocated”

Militias will be disarmed by September 30th with departure of last US troops

This has been my favorite plot line of the MoU is what currency does Iran choose.

[Faytuks Network @FaytuksNetwork]

Iran's central bank governor says Iran can receive payment for oil exports in any currency it chooses

[Beau Sorensen 🇺🇦 @sorrogrande]

You’d think this is a joke. It is not.

[Gregg Carlstrom @glcarlstrom]

Very interesting from @Reuters on the IRGC setting up small cells under its direct control in Iraq to attack Gulf states, whilst the main militias did not mobilize.

"Several powerful Shi'ite factions there have been signaling since last year that they are ready to disarm and focus ⁠on domestic politics to avert an escalating conflict Trump. That development may have spurred the IRGC to set up groups under its direct control." https://t.co/aX70iVq9Ct

Right yes sure yeah no totally we didn't lose. Just trust me bro

[Faytuks News @Faytuks]

Trump claims that Iran, not the US, wanted the MOU out of "desperation" and that Iran is militarily destroyed

[Dina Esfandiary @DEsfandiary]

This press conference was surreal:

- admission that more bombing wouldn’t achieve more concessions from #Iran
- states Iran can keep its missiles
- states that Iran can continue to enrich
- states that Iran should get sanctions relief

What a time to be alive.

[Jack M @MDJScrolls]

This has been a longstanding fear in Europe.

Classified intelligence reports, revealed last year, underscored increasing concerns from Western officials that Beijing and Moscow are working in parallel, learning from each other’s tactics to undermine Western democracies and sow chaos.

The West, the reports sent to Brussels also said, is dangerously exposed to a co-ordinated threat of sabotage attacks by Russia and China.
