If you only have time to read one explainer for the current state of global political economy make sure this is the one. You won’t find a more succinct encapsulation for the fulcrum of economic and political forces shaping our contemporary condition in the 21st century.

@WW3_Monitor is it not plausible that they are deliberately trying to obfuscate the scope and scale of their retaliation (including whether there will be one at all) to leverage the element of surprise?

If Iran's critical infrastructure is attacked, there will be no critical infrastructure left in occupied Palestine, nor in the complicit Arab family dictatorships in the Persian Gulf. That will mean the end of the global economy as we know it.

I really don't think enough people fully comprehend the worlds that are about to collide here.

You already have people in geopolitical circles warning about the threat of famine based on surging prices / availability of fertilizer components, and you also have long-term weather modeling all converging on a worst case scenario for a building El Nino event, which will peak near the end of the year. These are two slow moving but entirely predictable disasters that when coupled together will each make the other orders of magnitude worse. (This will take months to fully unfold, but at this point, the die is cast.)

There's no event in our history books that combines the current global population with the impending fertilizer shortage and the strength of the El Nino that's coming. We are about to witness an unprecedented event that will push crops around the globe to their limit.

The Western-backed genocidal maniacs in occupied Palestine will soon be severely punished. The Trump- and Netanyahu-engineered energy crisis will soon collapse the global economy.

There was a point, 3 yrs ago, when Israel felt compelled to explain its attacks on hospitals. Then it realized Western govts aren’t fussed about such war crimes & Western media was happy to justify them. And so here we are: dozens of hospitals bombed in Gaza, Iran & Lebanon.

[Wyatt Reed @wyattreed13]

This video of Israel’s latest war crime is being systematically suppressed by Twitter.

I screen recorded the moment the platform removed 19 retweets from the post — evidence of Western war crimes being targeted by Elon’s algorithm.

Minutes later, it removed 21 more retweets👇

These are the brand new disguised Automated License Plate Reader cameras in Arizona

The large yellow plastic barrels are camouflaged housings designed to look like construction equipment

They are being deployed in remote desert areas along highways

These new camouflaged cameras are a partnership between Flock and law enforcement and the plan is to use them extensively to track vehicle movement and broader surveillance

We are witnessing the surveillance state being established in America… this only ends in mass surveillance

Palantir’s PRISMA software is actively running inside Ukrainian long-range drone strike command posts — confirmed on camera by CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh, who filmed inside a unit planning kamikaze drone strikes deep into Russia.

Screens showed real-time maps, flight paths, and AI-processed data overlays while a masked commander (“Vector”) walked through strike planning live.

The AI ingests thousands of parameters — crucially including where Russian air defenses are intercepting drones — then calculates optimal routes for the next wave to slip through the gaps.

It’s essentially learning the holes in Russia’s air defense net in real time.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Footage is finally emerging of the “peaceful protesters” Trump tried to use to overthrow the Iranian government.

They were armed with military grade weapons by a foreign power (US) and organized by a foreign intelligence agency (Mossad) amid an obvious regime change operation.
