your Hermes Agent can now live inside Buzz Desktop!
Hermes speaks ACP natively: `hermes acp` starts a stdio server that any ACP client can drive.
that means the agent in the Buzz window is the one you already run, with the same config, skills & memory.

For 35 years, the United States has relied on one theory of military power:
Forward bases
Air superiority
Precision strike
Rapid victory
The Iran war may have just broken all four

JEFF CURRIE: GIVE IRAN THE STRAIT AND THE DOLLAR DIES
Jeff Currie, former Goldman Sachs head of commodities and lifelong insider of the dollar system, just laid out the one line America cannot cross. Handing control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran is not a tactical retreat. It is the formal end of the United States as global hegemon and the death of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
THE GRAND BARGAIN THAT BUILT THE SYSTEM
➡️ In 1945 the United States made a deal the world still lives under: we protect every major shipping lane with our navy so you use our dollar and recycle your money through New York.
➡️ Oil was the strategic commodity that made the bargain stick.
➡️ After Nixon broke the gold link in 1971 the same bargain became the petrodollar system that still funds American living standards today.
THE HORMUZ RED LINE
➡️ Currie is blunt: if the United States walks away and lets Iran and Oman manage the strait under any fee structure, the rest of the planet sees the protector has quit.
➡️ Every other chokepoint on earth immediately becomes fair game.
➡️ The Fifth Fleet would then need Iranian permission to enter or leave its own base in Bahrain—an image that ends the illusion of sea control overnight.
THE EXORBITANT PRIVILEGE AT RISK
➡️ Currie points to Switzerland right now: a 30-year fixed mortgage at 50 basis points because global capital floods into a safe currency.
➡️ That is the privilege America still enjoys.
➡️ The United States currently spends 7 percent more than it produces. Remove the forced global demand for dollars and that gap becomes pure economic pain.
THE HISTORICAL TRUTH NO ONE WANTS TO SAY
➡️ No previous hegemon—Britain, Spain, or any other—was forced out of the world’s most important sea lanes and remained the hegemon.
➡️ Currie is clear: you can retreat to the Monroe Doctrine and defend only the Western Hemisphere, but then you are no longer the global power and the dollar is no longer the reserve currency.
➡️ Those two outcomes cannot coexist.
THE BOTTOM LINE
America can lose battles. It cannot lose the Strait of Hormuz and still claim to run the system that has defined the last eighty years.
Once the world sees the United States no longer guarantees free navigation, the privilege that keeps the American consumer alive begins its irreversible decline.

anyone getting into local ai and agents stuff, here's the small stack that makes everything else easier. steal it, save it, thank me later.
> 1. tailscale. mesh every machine you own into one private network. serve a model on your big box, use it from your laptop in the next room or a coffee shop, no port forwarding, nothing exposed to the internet. single biggest quality of life unlock there is. mesh it once, forget it forever.
> 2. tmux. your agents should survive you closing the laptop. run everything inside it, detach and reattach from anywhere. an agentic run that dies when your ssh drops is a toy. tmux makes it a workhorse.
> 3. mosh. ssh that doesn't die on flaky wifi or when your phone switches networks. pair it with tmux and you can drive a full build from your phone on the train.
> 4. hermes agent. the model is half the battle, the loop around it is the other half. cli or desktop, it holds tiny local models through full agentic runs where other harnesses just fall apart.
> 5. auto-approve. once you trust the setup, let the agent run its own commands without confirming every single step. this is the line between watching a demo and actually shipping with one.
none of it is expensive, none of it is hard. it's just the stuff nobody tells you when you start, and it's the whole difference between fighting your tools and forgetting they're there. get familiar with these five and local ai stops feeling like a science project.
For a while now, while the conversation was focusing on Pakistan and Saudi Arabia as the Muslim countries on the periphery of the Iran war (in which SA is now directly involved), I was constantly thinking about Turkey and feeling that it was the dangerous and treacherous regional actor Iran should be worried about.
The fact that Trump has been obviously grooming Erdogan for some insidious purpose on behalf of Israel only aroused my suspicion: Trump is a full Israel puppet, and his entire foreign and domestic policy is dictated by it. Every single piece of it, including ICE and everything else (which is why the Democrats don't fight any of it: they, too, work only for Israel).
Erdogan pretending to quarrel with Israel over symbolic nonsense while Trump pretends to quarrel with Israel over the sale of F-35s to Turkey turned my suspicion into a feeling of certainty: they were working on making Turkey help their regional aspirations; I only didn't know the precise role they reserved for it.
Now, after Ukraina hit an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea, and with Netanyahu and Zelensky at the White House together, I think I get it.
Turkey is the missing link in the Zionist-American desire to connect the wars and topple both Iran and Russia. It is the massive rock the colonizer can hurl at the two countries.
And what they probably got Erdogan to agree to is help them go after Russian and Iranian strategic assets in the Caspian Sea, either directly or through influencing his close ally Azerbaijan, opening a new front to distract and hurt Russia and Iran. He may have agreed to assist them in the Black Sea, from which drones can be fired into the Caspian Sea with ease (less than 1,000 kilometers separate the two).
This also explains the sudden interest Zionists and Trump's family recently found in Kazakhstan, another major Caspian Sea player.
This also directly involves China as well, as a major trade route connecting Europe and Central Asia goes through the Caspian Sea.
And this fits the American way of fighting wars through proxies perfectly: except it is not Pakistan that's joining next, it is Turkey. I would bet ib Saudi and UAE money financing this effort as well.
Like everything else that they pedophile vampires tried, this is a blessing in disguise: the snake in the grass Erdogan is at the end of his political career (and potentially his life: he doesn't look well at all). The way to remove Turkey from the camp of Zionist and Western whores is to get it involved in severely destabilizing action, like joining the wars against Russia and Iran (quietly but ever more clearly).
The political and cultural paralysis Turkey is in cannot be solved any other way.
Iran and Russia (and China) are not going to let any of this fly, and the price for Turkey and Ukraine will be heavy. But it looks like the Caspian Sea front is about to warm up significantly for a while, with the Ukraine and Iran wars directly linked primarily thanks to Turkey being led by a Zionist and Western puppet
🚨🇺🇸 US NAVY IN PANIC: Meet Iran's ship‑killer missile. The US Navy is massing ships near Iran – but Tehran's Noor anti‑ship missile is built to make naval aggression painfully expensive.
🔸 IRGC's Noor is Iran's mass‑produced anti‑ship missile – any US ship in range is vulnerable.
🔸 Based on reverse‑engineered Chinese C‑802 with enhanced radar and range variants.
🔸 Produced independently under sanctions – a sustainable missile ecosystem hard to cripple.
🔸 Integrated across ships, coastal batteries, air platforms, and IRGC systems – complicating US naval suppression.
🔸 The US "armada" buildup may lie within reach of sea‑skimming, hard‑to‑jam missiles.
In narrow seas, who truly holds the advantage – fleets or missiles? 🇮🇷🇺🇸🇨🇳
🚨🇰🇵 North Korea Warning:
If the United States carries out a nuclear attack against Iran within the next 48 hours, Pyongyang will immediately respond with nuclear strikes on Tel Aviv and Washington.
🚨 This is what ports in America look like right now, and this is one of the main reasons for the agreement between it and Iran.
It submitted and knelt before Iran because it no longer possesses a naval force thanks to Iranian missiles! 🚢💥🇮🇷🇺🇸
this is f**king insane
a free github repo by Jack Dorsey (Co-Founder of Twitter) with 14.4K stars just dropped the entire "ai-agent" framework for running businesses
here is how you set it up:
1.clone the repo
2. self-host the server : channels, search, git, automation all live there
3.add your agent to a channel like a teammate, scope its key, let the team steer it live
save and bookmark this no matter what
🚨 In Israel, anyone who shares footage of Tel Aviv being hit is reportedly sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Let's share it for them instead :)
Footage of a ballistic missile hitting Beersheba, Israel 🔥 🚀🇮🇱🔥
BREAKING: IRGC CALL OUT SAUDI ARABIA
“In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Lifting the 11-year blockade of Yemen is a rightful and humanitarian demand for the oppressed people of that country.
It is expected that the government of Saudi Arabia will learn from the experience of its irrational and costly conduct and that of the United States, and put an end to the blockade of a Muslim country with a population of more than 38 million people.
The Muslims of the world expect Saudi Arabia, which considers itself the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, instead of continuing war and pressure against a Muslim and oppressed nation, to employ its capabilities and resources in supporting the Palestinian people and confronting the crimes of the Zionist regime.
Striving to save oppressed Gaza is a source of honor, not continuing the blockade of the oppressed people of Yemen.”
US SOLDIERS ARE STARTING TO LEAK INFORMATION ABOUT HOW BAD THINGS ARE GETTING IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
The real reason they are bombing Iranian civilian infrastructure is because they’ve run out of military targets. The rest are deep underground hidden in mountains.
Sending in troops would be like taking cattle to slaughter.
Call your representatives. Ask why IDF SOLDIERS of Israel are exempt from invading Iran.
