A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.

What the evidence shows:

Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.

Built to fail:

The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.

Accountability buried:

Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.

My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.

Do not give Flock the ability to watch your children.

Because they will.

Flock cameras are monitoring every single person who goes to my local park.

There isn't an entrance into the park that doesn't have a camera.

Why is it legal for a private company to record every time my wife takes our daughter to the park?

Did you know Leo Messi is ferried around wherever he goes by a team of Israeli special forces?

And that he is the face of an Israeli AI company run by "former" spies?

Read my investigation into the surprising ties between Messi & an Apartheid State.

Pests reproduce fast. Their predators reproduce slowly. That's why, if you spray chemicals in your yard, you'll always have pests.

After a broad pesticide application, aphids can rebuild a full population in a week, but the ladybugs that were keeping them in check will take a season to return, if they return at all.

A yard that gets sprayed regularly is always one warm week away from a pest outbreak.

🚨🇩🇪GERMANY PLANS TO ALLOW SECRET SURVEILLANCE DEVICES IN PRIVATE HOMES.

Interior Minister Dobrindt's draft legislation would give intelligence agencies the power to enter homes and install monitoring equipment without the owner's knowledge.

NO freedom LEFT!

Remember when the Panama Papers came out and revealed many of the rich and powerful people in the world are part of a criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts?

Literally nothing happened when the evidence emerged, except the reporter working on the story was assassinated by a car bomb.

Trump dropped bombs on a desalination plant in Iran’s Hormozgan province — cutting off water to 10,000 cilivians across 20 villages.

This is not a military target.

Trump is deliberately bombing critical infrastructure civilians need to stay alive.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Several days ago, I received a threatening letter informing me that I am "moving up on 'the List," and that I am "fucked."

The letter calls me a "kapo," indicating its authorship by a Zionist fanatic, possibly affiliated with an outfit like JDL Brotherhood 613, or from Betar dead-enders who advocate violence against perceived enemies of Israel.

I opened this letter as Israel-backed Trump admin allies like Laura Loomer portrayed me as a national security threat and demanded my persecution for reporting from Iran, and as the Trump admin harassed me by illegally seizing my phones.

I am not the only person to have received these letters. Howard Heath, a state representative in New Hampshire who is campaigning for Congress on a pledge to cut off military aid to Israel, also reported receiving a letter from the same "Yoor Dedmeet."

The return address applied to the letter is the field office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress. To me, this indicates that she and her staff could also be targets of whichever malicious individual or group sent the letter.

I have filed a report with local police and informed the US Postal Service Inspector of this threatening letter.

A New Yorker was trying to buy a slice of pizza when he caught an Indian worker with his bare foot on top of a pizza dough mixer.

The incident has raised concerns, and the person is warning others to avoid ordering food from the establishment.
