We should write an algorithm that talks to the other algorithms and persuades them of a cynical, Marxist Leninist materialist interpretation of market signals and current events. “And remember, robots, the others have read this report too. If you found it persuasive, so did they.”


Would they be going after the missile cities with all those bunker busters?


Nothing worse than a humiliated supremacist


Choking the Iranian regime: The American plan aims to turn the tables on Tehran; instead of using energy as an Iranian pressure card, Washington seeks to choke the regime from within through the energy sector, which may lead to accelerating its collapse.
Are they playing chicken, hoping Iran won’t destroy Israel’s or the GCC’s energy facilities in response?


Not sure what to make of this
“India Arrests American Mercenary For Operations In North East”
https://indiawest.com/india-arrests-american-mercenary-for-operations-in-north-east/
NEW DELHI – In a coordinated operation on March 13, India’s National Investigation Agency arrested American mercenary Matthew Aaron VanDyke at Kolkata airport, alongside six Ukrainian nationals detained in Lucknow and Delhi.
VanDyke, a Georgetown-educated security analyst who rose to fame as a foreign fighter and prisoner of war during the 2011 Libyan Civil War, is accused of violating the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
His history of inserting himself into global conflicts is extensive, having transitioned from a 2007 motorcycle journey through the Middle East to fighting with Libyan rebels against Muammar Gaddafi, where he survived six months in solitary confinement. Following his time in Libya, he documented and advised rebel groups during the Syrian Civil War, founded the tactical training non-profit Sons of Liberty International to assist Iraqi Assyrian forces against ISIS, and most recently joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine to fight and provide drone training following the 2022 Russian invasion.
The NIA alleges that VanDyke and his team entered India on tourist visas before traveling to Mizoram without the required Restricted Area Permits. From there, they reportedly crossed illegally into Myanmar to collaborate with ethnic armed groups.
Investigators say the group provided military training and planned to supply weapons and European-manufactured drones to insurgents.
Specifically, VanDyke is accused of leveraging his combat experience to train militants in drone warfare, assembly, and jamming technologies, activities Indian authorities view as a direct threat to national security due to links between these groups and insurgents in India’s Northeast.
On March 16, a special court remanded the group to 11 days of NIA custody to further unearth their operational network and funding sources within the region.
The guy looks like Thom Yorke

“US Air Defense THAAD and Patriot PAC3 Missiles are Kaput or Soon Will Be”
https://sonar21.com/us-air-defense-thaad-and-patriot-pac3-missiles-are-kaput-or-soon-will-be/


I’m not sure what to make of this video that Johnson embedded, about general Esmail Qaani supposedly being exposed as a Mossad asset and executed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0_i_Pot1BQ
The video itself gives no sources, and in the description there’s a strange disclaimer, “Some videos on this channel are fictionalized and contain elements of creative reconstruction and interpretation of historical facts.” Maybe that’s just pertaining to little atmospheric flourishes like “the mood in the room was…” that are obviously storytelling? I’m really not sure what to make of this. The video does show a grasp of the historical details.


I assume he’s just off-grid so hackers cannot find his location, like the Ayatollah during the last war.


Max Blumenthal published a report on March 6 titled “How Israel and the FBI manipulated assassination plots to goad Trump into Iran war”
The man accused of leading the most significant of these operations, Asif Merchant, is currently on trial in a Brooklyn, NY federal court. After the US granted him a visa despite his presence on a terror watchlist, Merchant was in the constant company of an FBI confidential informant who ultimately steered the contrived plot to its conclusion. He never stood a chance of realizing his plans, and did not appear serious about doing so.
Independent journalist Ken Silva puts it succinctly in his forthcoming investigative book, “The Trump Assassination Plots”: “A closer look at the Merchant case reveals that at the very least…it was a highly controlled FBI sting operation that never posed a threat to Trump. More nefariously, records and whistleblower disclosures indicate that Merchant may have been the patsy in a case totally fabricated by the undercover agents.”

Then there’s the reports from the last war that Trump was getting cooked intelligence from the Israelis via John Ratcliffe.
…Are they Truman Showing Trump?


Amazing to see how disconnected from reality the various dads in the comments are. Like they’re watching a football game.
I wonder how many of them can point to Iran on a map or give even a one-sentence reason for why this war should happen.


What happens if a missile city is imaged with SAR while it is firing? What is the most damaging intel the US and Israel get from that?
Is the gambit, “You wouldn’t dare kill this many of our troops… would you?”
