Agreed. Hamas has been attacking Israel way before…The 2014 Israeli airstrikes referenced in those posts occurred during Operation Protective Edge. The trigger was a sharp rise in rocket and mortar fire from Gaza into Israel in late June and early July. On July 7 alone, roughly 80 rockets were launched; Israel then announced the aerial campaign to degrade launch sites, tunnels, and militant infrastructure.
FAFO.
Video game footage: The clip matches Arma 3 military simulation gameplay, with stylized explosions, crosshairs, and low-detail models typical of the game—not real CENTCOM gun-cam or drone footage. @i
• Common misinformation: Similar clips have circulated widely amid July 2026 strikes, often mislabeled as authentic US strikes on Iran; fact-checks identify them as simulator content. @i
• Real releases differ: Official CENTCOM unclassified strike videos use cleaner, higher-fidelity sensors with distinct HUDs and physics; this one’s appearance and sharing patterns align with recycled game clips.
•The video shows an Arab butcher in Kafr Kanna, northern Israel, dumping his shop’s meat onto the street in June 2026 as a protest against local clan violence, gunfire, and extortion damaging his business.
•It has no connection to Gaza, international aid, refrigerated Israeli trucks delivering food, or residents rejecting humanitarian supplies.
•The post’s core claim is false, as the footage was misattributed to support the argument that famine never existed in Gaza.
@grok ?….
No, the claim is false: large peer-reviewed studies, including cohorts of over 2 million adults aged 65+, consistently show flu vaccination linked to 40% lower Alzheimer’s risk and reduced dementia incidence, not increases.
•The video by Nicolas Hulscher inverts findings from actual research; high-dose flu vaccines show even stronger protective associations against Alzheimer’s (up to 55% relative risk reduction in some analyses) compared to standard doses.
•The 27% higher flu risk refers to one limited 2024-25 Cleveland Clinic study in healthcare workers with biases like testing differences; broader CDC data across seasons shows positive vaccine effectiveness in the general population.
So either there are four types from four different civilizations that have developed abilities for interstellar travel and all happened to arrive in the same window of time in modern history ? Or four totally different types from the same civilization that are all humanoid and came together -or separately around the same window of time? Hmmmm
Highly moral considering the casualties do not match property destruction. Why? If 90% of buildings destroyed (which are legitimate targets if weaponized) why isn’t 90% of population also destroyed? Answer: the most moral military warns civilians before destruction- even if that is strategically disadvantageous. Vs enemy that prioritizes civilian targets.
- 2010s: Syrian Civil War and Yemen Conflict
IRGC deploys forces and proxies (e.g., Hezbollah, Afghan Fatemiyoun Brigade) to Syria starting 2011, propping up Assad against "infidel" rebels—resulting in thousands of deaths and labeled as terrorism support by the US and EU. In Yemen from 2014, IRGC arms Houthis for attacks on Saudi Arabia and shipping, advancing the "axis of resistance" ideology. These are tied to Khomeini's calls for global Islamic unity against oppressors.

- 2011-2012: Plots on US Soil
IRGC Quds Force attempts an assassination plot against the Saudi ambassador in Washington, DC, involving Mexican cartels—foiled by the FBI and designated as state-sponsored terrorism. This demonstrates global reach beyond the Middle East.

- 2019: Full US FTO Designation
The US labels the entire IRGC a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), the first time a state military branch receives this status, for its role in over 200 attacks killing thousands.
(12/13)
- 2020s: Ongoing Proxy Escalations and Additional Designations
Post-Soleimani's 2020 death (in a US strike), IRGC continues proxy operations, including Houthi Red Sea attacks (2023-ongoing) and support for Hamas in the 2023 Israel-Gaza conflict. In 2023-2024, IRGC-linked militias attack US bases in Iraq and Syria. Australia designates the IRGC as a state sponsor of terrorism in November 2025. The EU and UK have imposed related sanctions, though not full FTO status.

This timeline draws from bipartisan US reports, international investigations, and designations, but perspectives vary: Western sources emphasize terrorism, while Iranian state media portrays these as legitimate defense.
Fact-Based Historical Timeline of IRGC Policies and Proxy Operations Tied to Revolutionary Ideologies, Including State-Sponsored Terrorism Aspects
(Thread 1/13)
No, discussing the IRGC's role in state-sponsored global terrorism isn't speculative—it's grounded in extensive historical records, official designations by multiple governments, and documented proxy activities. The IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), founded in 1979 to protect Iran's Islamic Revolution, has been repeatedly accused and designated by entities like the US, EU, and others as a key instrument of Iran's state-sponsored terrorism.
(2/13)
This stems from its support for proxy militias, orchestration of attacks, and efforts to export revolutionary ideology through violence. Iran and the IRGC consistently deny these allegations, framing their actions as defensive resistance against imperialism, but evidence from declassified reports, court cases, and international sanctions paints a pattern of involvement.
(3/13)
To tie this into the historical timeline you requested earlier (focusing on policies and operations linked to Khomeini's calls for global jihad and conquest), I'll expand it here with fact-based entries on terrorism-related activities. This is based on verified incidents, not loose connections, and emphasizes the IRGC's Quds Force (its external operations arm, established in the 1980s). I've prioritized high-level overviews without operational details.

- 1979: IRGC Founding and Ideological Mandate
Established by Ayatollah Khomeini post-revolution to safeguard Islamic rule and export the revolution globally. Early policies emphasized "jihad" against "infidels" (non-believers) and Western influence, setting the stage for proxy warfare. This aligned with Khomeini's fatwas calling for worldwide Islamic conquest.
(5/13)
- 1982-1983: Formation of Hezbollah and Beirut Bombings
IRGC Quds Force helps establish Hezbollah in Lebanon as a proxy to fight Israel and Western forces, directly advancing Khomeini's anti-imperialist jihad. In October 1983, Hezbollah (with IRGC backing) conducts suicide bombings on US and French barracks in Beirut, killing 241 US Marines and 58 French troops. This is cited as an early act of IRGC-orchestrated state-sponsored terrorism to expel "infidels" from Muslim lands.

- 1980s-1990s: Expansion of Proxy Networks in the Middle East and Beyond
IRGC provides training, funding, and arms to groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas, promoting anti-Israel "resistance" as part of global jihad. In 1992 and 1994, IRGC-linked operatives are implicated in bombings of the Israeli embassy and AMIA Jewish center in Argentina, killing over 100 civilians—acts designated as state-sponsored terrorism by US and Argentine investigations. These operations reflect Khomeini's ideology of confronting "Zionist" and Western enemies worldwide.
(7/13)
- 1990s-2000s: Support for Insurgencies and Assassinations
IRGC Quds Force under Qasem Soleimani (commander from 1998) escalates proxy support in Iraq and Afghanistan against US forces, supplying EFPs (explosively formed penetrators) that killed hundreds of coalition troops. This is documented as state-sponsored terrorism in US reports. Globally, IRGC is linked to plots like the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia (killing 19 US airmen) via Hezbollah al-Hejaz. Policies emphasize "exporting the revolution" through asymmetric warfare.
(8/13)
- 2007: US Treasury Designation for Proliferation and Terrorism Support
The US designates the IRGC Quds Force for supporting terrorism, citing its role in arming and training proxies like Hezbollah and Iraqi militias. This formalizes accusations of state sponsorship.

@NiohBerg Dude- Israel is not missing the opportunity here. When they’re ready you’ll see the overt action- right now it’s covert and I trust their ability to determine the right time to make it public.
@jkenney@grok is it possible under Canadian law to file a lawsuit against the government at multiple levels for not enforcing the law fairly? If in fact the government is discriminatory by not providing equal protection what is the legal exposure and is there precedent?
@adam3us@coinbureau If I have to decide between@adam3us or (pretty much anyone) , about who to believe wrt Bitcoin & Quantum I’m choosing @adam3us every time. Hence his one word answer which is exactly enough.
What should be more chilling: this aired on Al-Aqsa TV, the Hamas-run station that beams 'educational' content into Gaza homes. This isn't a leaked radical clip—it's state-sponsored broadcasting. There’s a whole government and media apparatus that produces this and a wide audience who consumes it,
