🎯 operational awareness

[David Seid @davidseid]

Here is Grok’s succinct summary, in case you haven’t been following:
- @thepalmerworm’s brief post “🎯 operational awareness” endorses Stephen Coughlin’s warning that data linking a staff member to MAPS confirms Muslim Brotherhood designs on Michigan politics.
- Coughlin, a former Joint Staff intelligence specialist on Islamic ideology, advises confirming associations like Bergman ISI and James MB staffing without equivocation on their implications.
- The exchange highlights ongoing concerns about Islamist networks’ political infiltration in Michigan, including Dearborn events involving MAPS National with state officials and candidates.

Ten things we are so numb to that we are just used to them when instead every citizen and every news outlet in the nation should be screeching with alarm:

1. The Democrat Party is now the party of literal Communists.

2. The Democrat Party is also now the party of literal jihadists.

3. Tens of thousands of jihadists just invaded Spain.

4. New Jersey has tens of thousands of illegal aliens on its voter rolls. This is not rumor, this is fact.

5. We’re not really sure how much the rest of the states are like New Jersey, but it’s probably worse.

6. Gen Z thinks Communism is a good idea because nobody ever taught them about the genocide feature of Communism.

7. The mayor of New York City is deliberately driving for-profit grocery stores out of his city so he can have control over the food supply of his citizens.

8. The WNBA is persecuting its best white heterosexual players in a sort of perverse Jane Crow campaign.

9. The guy who was the architect of the worst public health fiasco in all of our lifetimes has a diary where he confirmed that he and the government lied about basically everything, and he’s going to get away with it.

10. Tucker Carlson and his pals are determined to hand control of the government over to the Democrat Communist Jihadists in a form of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

And notice one important thing. Not a single American flag. Nothing. They never wanted to be a part of this country because assimilation was never the end goal. Domination was. Like locusts, they seek to dominate whatever areas they infest. They want to take over sections of this country because that's their sick way of globalizing the Intifada. This is the true danger within America.

🚨 45,000 “SOLDIERS” JUST TOOK OVER THE STREETS OF DEARBORN

Tens of thousands flooded Michigan this weekend in a massive Islamic procession - black flags, Arabic chants, Hezbollah-linked imagery - a scene ripped straight out of the Middle East.

This isn’t a cultural festival.
It’s a victory parade.

A living reminder that Dearborn has already been conquered without a single shot fired.

While the streets belong to the new majority, Christians and Jews are reduced to second-class citizens in their own city - told they’re “not welcome,” ignored when they complain about discrimination, and left unprotected.

And our federal government? Turning a blind eye.

This is what demographic conquest looks like when no one stops it.

When ‘Authority’ incentivizes the denial and rejection of what is (reality) and instead, rewards the proclaiming of absurdities (lies) and compliance to them in the workplace - your compliance with that is your own destruction and the destruction of civic infrastructure, social fabric and national defence. It is a moral duty of self governance to disobey the sophist ‘Authority’ which aspires to usurp reason.

[CJ the palmer worm; wife,mother, researcher. @thepalmerworm]

Pedagogy and the fiduciary trust of Teaching & Learning has always been the key to ‘Keeping’ the Republic.

Without 🔥Education for the Constitutional Republic🔥 there is no Stewardship of the Republic and no integrity of public service and public office. No formed capability within the citizenry to self govern.

The telos of Education is vigilance and discernment conserved and transmitted through Stewardship - John Adams and other Founders explicitly conveyed this essential necessary purpose for national defence and posterity; ‘the preservation of those (First Principles of the Declaration) principles upon which (the Constitutional Republic) decent government depends’ (Jefferson)

‘If We The People are the ones who constitute the United States then The People ARE the government and SUBJECT TO the same MORAL and political appraisals brought to bear on any government. Clearly then not only ‘education’ - but a HIGH and DISCIPLINED form of Education - MUST be AT the FOUNDATION of any Republic that would recommend itself as NOTHING LESS THAN a republic of virtue’ (Jefferson)

I first shared this👇2 yrs ago in an article for @corTheory and I’ve not stopped stating ever since that;

Education for the Constitutional Republic is something unique and specific to the requirements for self governance, for public service and for public office. It is Education in the requisite development of endowed faculties for maintaining and preserving fiduciary trust. It is not simply what we’ve experienced as *Classical Education* because that curriculum and pedagogy contains much within it which undermines the First Principles of the Constitutional Republic - as much as - also comprising much that upholds and defends it. It’s a confounding mix which both appears to uphold stewardship and yet cannot. An appearance minus the substance because it contains elements of the parasite which subverts at root - albeit with beautiful aesthetics and the impressive craft of man. It is uplifting, inspiring and a tremendous conservation and celebration of so much of Western Civilization - but - it does not equip fiduciary stewards of the Constitutional Republic for their responsibilities and duties of public service and public office.

To hold fiduciary office requires a dedicated ‘high and disciplined form of Education’ - specifically and operationally;

🔥Education for the Constitutional Republic🇺🇸

To those complaining/ mocking Trump holding off the ultimate attacks on Iran: He has been consistent since February that this war has two premises: No nukes for Iran and no oil interruptions. He mentions both yet again here.

He has been progressively heating up Tehran's situation but in a surgical way. First main military abilities neutralized, then beheading the regime's ability to blackmail through Hormuz, to lately, infrastructure. If you keep saying that Trump has chickened out, you're either stupid or disingenuous.

The attacks are, obviously, to force Tehran to sit at the negotiation table. "But the regime will never negotiate, they are not to be trusted", everybody knows that. Even Trump said that publicly. But that's why he sent his most anti-war man, JD Vance, to negotiate with the regime.

You already know the result: Vance was repeatedly humiliated and everyone knew that was exactly what would happen. But Trump needs all this to be public so the world (at least the sane ones) realize what the Iran regime actually is. And don't get me started with the barrage of attacks on the UAE first, then Bahrain and Kuwait because they have less military capacities, then Saudi Arabia by proxy with the Houthies. The cardboard Ayatollah keeps promising hell and keeps underdelivering. Talk about chickening out.

Many people say that the IRGC would never negotiate. Well then, how do you think they feel when they get these huge billboards that signal that Tehran is asking for a time out? That's worse than a missile to the face (well, almost!) that deepens the internal cracks, rises the odds of them making mistakes, and mistakes at this stage would be extremely costly for Iran and nobody else.

These months have been the perfect campaign against the Iran regime AND for the Abraham Accords. Both needed for a safer and prosperous Middle East. The missiles just happens to be the tool to signal who has the upper hand.

So if you think USA is 'losing' this, I can only assume you're either misinformed or acting in bad faith. Or have TDS. Maybe all of the above.

And if you are pro-Trump and still don't understand why all this is happening and what does this have to do with America first: it has to do with worldwide stability and prosperity. Markets are global and tensions affect everyone. If USA gets this finally sorted out, the shift in power worldwide will be a net positive for the Western world, with the United States securing stronger alliances with the GCC countries.

This is going to be worth it. We all are going to win (well, maybe except Tehran!)

Instead of going to college, Charlie decided to take a gap year after high school -- and that turned into thirteen gap years in a row. Charlie was always passionate about giving young people alternatives to the conventional college path, which is often ruinously expensive and filled with left-wing indoctrination.

Charlie was extremely excited about the development of Turning Point Prep Year -- a gap year program for students to study the great books and acquire civic and leadership skills so they can enter college with a better sense of focus and direction or perhaps, like him, simply skip it entirely.

Thanks to generous support from donors who believe in Charlie's vision, the entire nine-month program is only $2,000 -- for room, board, programming, travel, everything.

Excellent!

[CJ the palmer worm; wife,mother, researcher. @thepalmerworm]

This is not only how your institutions and organizations were ideologically conquered but even more crucially than that - this is how your nation’s immune system was disabled prior to that, leaving all defence capabilities taken out long before the visible ‘revolution’. Your infrastructure was first neutralized intellectually and morally through epistemological warfare which transformed the very purpose of your institutions of teaching and learning.

The strategic point of failure was pedagogical. The tactical ideological warfare was way downstream. You have to understand how your own immune system function was destroyed first - and to do that, you must first understand your own constitutional republican immune system itself and what the roots of that were - pedagogically, epistemologically and morally. This is all pre-political. Before you can utter a word on anything political’ you must understand what comes before anything ‘political’. Your institutions are not teaching you this. Your public intellectuals and media influencers/commentators are not teaching you this. If you really understood this, you’d loose all appetite for paying them any attention whatsoever because all they offer you is distraction the obfuscation of the essential foundations each and every one of you needs to fully comprehend, in order to embody, as self governance.

These are the requisite foundations your institutions were originally established to teach you - that they don’t is why we’re in this mess.

[Rod D. Martin @RodDMartin]

Some of you are telling me the Gaza deal can't last. You're not seeing the whole board.

There are two default assumptions at work here.

The first is that Islamist radicals can just spontaneously produce missiles, guns, and money from thin air. They can't.

The second is just general black pilling, which is frankly stupid. So you're demoralized: big whoop. You'd have been more demoralized in the summer of 1940, or for that matter of 1942. And you'd have been just as wrong. Get over yourself. Look at the facts.

First, Israel beat the crap out of Hamas, one of the most bloodthirsty terrorist groups on Earth. They are as murderous with their own people as with the Israelis, and have been for decades. It is no accident that since Israel handed Gaza to the Palestinians in 2006, the Christian Arab population there has been "reduced" by 2/3. And that's not a lot different from the West Bank Palestinians, who upon gaining control of Bethlehem "reduced" its Christian population from 80% to about 10%, or the PLO and Hezbollah in Lebanon, where the Christian population was about 54% before the Civil War and is now about 37%.

The people pretending that it's the Jews who are killing Christians are willfully blind, and intentionally blinding you.

No matter what you think of Israel, Hamas is evil. They went too far in 2023, as they were always going to do, and Israel has defeated them. They can no longer field an effective military force. They cannot resupply. They're done.

Can individual or small groups of militants kill people? Sure. But there's no longer any sanctuary, and the days of your tax money being funneled through the PA to pay for suicide bombers are long over (although if you live in Tim Walz's Minnesota, that is not true of Somalia).

The black pill types told us nine months ago that the peace would not last a week and that Trump could never pull off the deal agreed to yesterday. Yet here we are, nine months later, and he has. "Oh, it won't last," you say, but you said that last October, and the peace has held. Why? Israel cut off Hamas's ability to fight, while Trump cut off its ability to resupply. It's that simple.

Second, the reason that's simple is that Hamas's three chief patrons were Iran, which now can't get ships in or out of its own ports, along with Turkey and Qatar. Trump has reduced Qatar to a U.S. protectorate. He's dealmaking with the Turks on F-35s and the disposition of Syria, including new oil pipelines (to be built and owned by U.S. oil companies). Turkey suddenly needs peace to achieve its own ends; Qatar simply has nowhere to go. And Hamas has no one to ship them weapons or pay their bills.

They could have made Gaza into the Riviera. Instead they dug up the water and sewer pipes to make missiles they fired for two decades at schools. So now the Board of Peace will build what they did not.

Third, they'll do that because no one hates Hamas as much as the Arabs. Every country the Palestinians have entered in any numbers, they've immediately plunged into civil war. No one wants them anywhere near anything important. Egypt's wall along its border with Gaza makes a maximum security prison look like a sand castle. It has no such wall along its Israeli border. There's a reason.

Trump has carefully cultivated enormous business and investment deals with every regional power. He's gone out of his way to give them things they need and want, from the Saudi nuclear power deal to the Turks' favorite installed in Damascus. Their interests are interlocked with ours, and tightening by the day. Everyone now profits from peace. The Palestinians are in their way.

Fourth, a massive generational shift is underway. The old timers wanted a Palestinian state, so long as it was safely contained somewhere else, and they used it to show they were "tough" against Israel when in war after war they'd been shown to be impotent. it was low cost and (moderately) higher reward for them.

Their children, exemplified by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), are sick of it. They WANT peace with Israel. They want to make money in Israel, and they want the Israelis to bring tech and investment to them. Even more so, they want military and intelligence cooperation, which all of them badly need. They have none of their parents' sentimental attachment to long-dead Palestinian leaders or decades-old lost wars. And Trump is daily incentivizing them to double down.

Fifth, why? Because Trump knows three things the black pill guys do not:

A. Trump knows that prosperous countries rarely attack one another.
B. Trump knows Americans can make fortunes in the Middle East if peace is the rule rather than the exception, and that will never be achieved through a Bush-style occupation. He also knows that we can save fortunes if we don't have to worry about the Middle East anymore.
C. Trump knows that without money, you're done. And he knows how to cut off the cash.

No one funds Hamas now. No one funds Hezbollah now. A Lebanese peace requires a stable, functioning Lebanese government and the dismantling of Iran's proxy army on Israel's northern border -- the one that has also occupied and terrorized Lebanon for half a century.

So Trump let Israel annihilate Hamas, which has now unconditionally surrendered. He also let it beat Hezbollah into submission. On the ground, these were the two biggest obstacles to regional peace, now each shattered.

And now we have a way to give everyone what they want in both countries: a Palestinian state under new management, military and intelligence cooperation with Israel, Israeli energy exports to Egypt and Jordan (and Syria and Lebanon soon enough), and the restoration of Lebanon as "the Paris of the Middle East" as it was before the civil war.

Sixth, most people watching see these as disconnected issues. They aren't. They never were. But neither is Syria, under new management and (despite its sordid past) desperate to balance Turkish, Israeli, Saudi, and U.S. power so it can have the breathing room to avoid becoming Ankara's colony. Suddenly it has an intense interest in peace as well; just as suddenly, it is no longer an essential Russian outpost or a colony of Tehran.

And also neither is Iraq, where pro-Iranian militias have wreaked havoc for 20 years. Those days are over. Iraq's new President is disarming the militias and arresting their leaders. The militias spent the early part of this year reinforcing the IRGC in its massacre and crackdown on the Iranian people. They're also the final obstacle to a durable peace -- and economic development, and pipeline construction, and prosperity -- in Iraq itself.

Seventh, all these roads lead one place: Iran. The Islamic regime is the primary source of funding, armament, and direction for the bad guys in every armed conflict in the region: literally all of them. Tehran used all these proxies to build a de facto Persian Empire from Baghdad to Beirut and from Abadan to Aden. That's gone now. It won't be coming back.

Eighth, the Iran war has shown the Gulf Arab states that the Iranian really is a clear and present danger, not a convenient idiocracy that keeps its country from becoming a rich regional power. Months of Iranian bombardment of Arab hotels, water plants, airports, and shipping have been more persuasive than decades of American leaders. Now Saudi Arabia carries out joint attacks on Iran with the U.S.; so do Kuwait and the UAE. And with a host of currency swap lines, nuclear power deals, and direct military support, Trump is drawing all of them closer to the U.S. by the day.

Ninth, all that works because of what doesn't. China is a nonfactor. Supposedly Iran's ally (much like it was supposedly Russia's "ally without limits" while it pushed Putin into his Ukrainian quagmire), China hasn't lifted a finger. Rumors of shoulder-fired missile shipments are just that: rumors. But if true, they're the exception that proves the rule. China is NOT sending advanced fighter jets, not at any price. China is NOT sending troops. China is NOT sending its Navy. If anything, it's sparring with the U.S. over the pending Taiwan arms sale...but only very, very gently.

No one in the Middle East is stupid enough not to understand what China calls "the Malacca Dilemma". 80% of its oil has to flow through the Strait of Malacca. The U.S. already had de facto control of the chokepoint; it has turned that into control into a chokehold with its new defense pact with the heretofore "Non-Aligned" Indonesia. It's also flipped India, which not only signed an "impossible" February trade deal with Trump (or so said the black pillers) but immediately began capturing illegal Russian Shadow Fleet oil tankers.

Iran has to use that Shadow Fleet too: 90% of its exports are to China. But China hasn't lifted a finger, and India doesn't care. That was even before Trump sealed Iran's ports tight.

Tenth, all of this has required complex negotiations with at least a dozen countries that mostly don't like each other, and all of that takes time. If you see Trump call a cease fire to "negotiate" with Iran, don't be dumb: he's actually using that time to negotiate with Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and Oman, and Qatar, and Bahrain, and Kuwait, and Iraq, and Syria, and Lebanon, and Turkey, and Israel. Iran is a threat to every one of them, and in many cases has been their murderous oppressor. They're skittish, they're gunshy, they know their militaries are strong on paper but weak in fact, and like all people, inertia has kept them in the long status quo. But Trump has destroyed that status quo: it is never coming back. And slowly, every country in the region is getting the point and getting on board.

How Iran finishes is almost irrelevant. Oh, you're not going to believe our expanded target package over the next few weeks. The prospect of a successful Iranian revolution and a free Iran is very, very real. A free Iran would be the greatest investment opportunity of the 2030s, and everyone would benefit, no matter how much change is tough.

But at this point it wouldn't matter. Iran spent trillions of its people's money on underground complexes in which to build nuclear weapons and the ICBMs to load them on. It has literally nothing left to show for it. And every day it threatens Hormuz or the Bab al-Mandab is other day that it's well-armed, wealthy neighbors become more determined that it can never be allowed to rise again. If the U.S. doesn't finish Iran, the Arabs will.

Trump plays the part of a chaos agent. He does this to keep all his enemies off balance. He's been telling you this on video and in print since at least 1987. If you can't see the play, that's on you.

But no one ever does the homework. So it keeps on working for him. He's remaking the Middle East no matter what happens in Iran, and our grandchildren will thank him, not just for peace but for the prosperity that comes from it. What they won't remember is your black pill foolishness, your temporary gas price inconvenience, or your inability to see the world being transformed before your eyes.

Which is good. You want your grandchildren to respect you, after all.

Grok says why:

- Egypt’s border wall with Gaza, shown in the post’s video footage of a tall concrete barrier topped with razor wire, was constructed to block smuggling tunnels, militants, and mass refugee flows amid security concerns in Sinai.
- While Jordan granted citizenship to most Palestinian refugees from 1948 and 1967, most other Arab states host them in camps without full naturalization to maintain their legal refugee status.
- Reluctance to accept new Gaza refugees stems from fears of Islamist infiltration, economic burdens on host nations already managing millions of refugees, and preserving the Palestinian right of return in regional politics.

The Harder They Fall….

The saga of Anthony Fauci is a now all too familiar example of narcissistic and bureaucratic insiders who start with a classic rise only to fall into utter destruction.

Think also John Bolton, James Comey, Jack Smith, and now Anthony Fauci.

Fueled by media flattery, and their over the top rhetoric, they posture as consummate “professionals.”

These egomaniacs convince themselves they are our untouchable defenders of the established Washingtonian order, as supposedly sober and judicious custodians of the government. And when warned where they are ultimately headed, and to tread lightly, they instead interpret such sound advice as the jealousy of the envious.

In the current decade that arrogance is best manifested as crusading against public enemy number one, Donald J. Trump.

So insidiously they up their Trump derangement rhetoric. They cite their titles and degrees as they vaingloriously skirt the law.

Finally drunk on leftwing media adulation, they delude themselves into believing that their megalomaniac behavior is exempt from any consequences.

And then what?

At the apex of their hubris, Nemesis strikes.

And they fall hard by their own overweening arrogance.

John Bolton could not just be content and thankful that he finally got a cabinet-level appointment without the need for Senate confirmation, and thus show some deference to his savior Donald Trump.

Instead, almost immediately like some rookie intern he began sending classified information over unsecure email—writing an on-the-job, tell-all book, timed to appear during the 2020 election and to sandbag his own president.

After all, who would dare to question much less cross the expert John Bolton as he rushed heading into felony convictions and self-implosion?

In 2016 FBI James Comey acted as if he was the godhead of American law enforcement.

As investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury he alone would adjudicate whether the classified document destroyer Hillary Clinton committed a felony.

Comey alone would launch a Steele-dossier witch hunt against Donald Trump, and crown himself the veritable arbiter of presidential elections.

And now?

His rendezvous with Nemesis rendered him a disgraced leaker and fired FBI director, claiming amnesia or ignorance 245 times under oath before a House committee.

Comey was finally reduced to the role of a social media pop philosopher. His final curtain call?

Comey was posting seashell “8647” infantile threats—and then denying as a former FBI Director that “86” had anything to with violent acts of expulsion.

Jack Smith was an obscure liberal fixture in DOJ circles for years—until he was coronated as special counsel—coincidentally three days after Trump, on November 15, 2022, announced he was running for president in 2024.

How strange that the same day, Letitia James was for some reason in the White House.

Nathan Wade, Fannie Willis’s paramour, was too, meeting with Biden’s White House counsel.

And on that day too Merrick Garland’s number three prosecutor Michael Colangelo (freshly hired from James’s prosecution team) announced he was leaving his billet, soon on spec to join Alvin Bragg’s lawfare.

The left began thinking Smith was godlike, a veritable new and improved Robert Mueller, similarly tasked with delivering the federal knock-out blow to Donald Trump.

Within months of his appointment, Smith became a holy crusader to the leftwing media.

That adulation and his hubris drove Smith to rush his absurd 44 indictments to get Trump as recklessly and quickly as possible—worried that Trump first might be elected and thus by Supreme Court case law immune as a sitting president from prosecution.

So the more the media deified him, the more maddened Smith became.

Smith finally was reduced to tapping the phone records of U.S. Senators and grabbing National Archive records of Trump’s text messaging, where he was surveying the private correspondence of more U.S. senators.

And now?

Nemesis reduced him from the heights of would-be Trump slayer to a failed, and unscrupulous prosecutor, omitting to report free and untaxed legal services from his own firm, abandoned by his media toadies, and soon to be facing criminal referrals.

You can add John Brennan, James Clapper, Mark Milley, and Robert Mueller to the same cast.

They too became intoxicated with government power, and believed they were divinely appointed to end Trump. And so they played out a Greek tragedy, consumed by hubris (overweening arrogance) that drove them to atê (mindless recklessness), only to end in Nemesis (cosmic retribution and destruction).

These egos never learned that the amoral leftwing media is a fickle flatterer (remember they even once deified the Stormy Daniels con artist and soon to be felon Michale Avenatti as presidential timber.)

These unelected legends in their own minds confuse their enormous government granted powers at their disposal as bureaucrats with some sort of regal right that will exempt them from any consequences of their lawless arrogance.

And so soon they lie under oath to Congress, or call up Chinese generals to warn them about their own president, or sign patently false affidavits attesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was the work of the Ruskies, or tap senatorial phones—or almost anything that would ensure their inevitable fall from grace and utter humiliation.

So too with the once celestial and now laughingstock Anthony Fauci (who once compared himself to Albert Einstein).

The common denominator?

The greater their arrogance, the harder they certainly fall.

‘We often describe such narratives as moral instruction, and they certainly are. But morality is not their deepest work. Before they teach what is good, they communicate a civilization’s understanding of what is.
Every civilization rests upon metaphysical assumptions, whether explicitly articulated or simply inherited. Those assumptions shape its ontology—what kinds of beings exist and what they are. Ontology informs anthropology—what the human person is. Anthropology informs epistemology—how truth may be known. From these first principles flow law, education, politics, economics, and the institutions through which a civilization orders its common life.’ (Turner)
