How Israel pulled off audacious ‘Red Wedding’ and ‘Operation Narnia’ attacks on Iran


Source: independent.co.uk/news/world/m…

Another plot, called “Operation Narnia” because it was seen to be so fantastical, involved killing nine top Iranian #nuclear #scientists at their homes in #Tehran almost simultaneously - a plan that was successfully carried out.


Scientists and their families are civilians and not military targets. This is against international law and could be counted as a #war #crime.

NATURAL IMMUNITY- IT'S A THING!

"Natural immunity is the only true immunity.
Everything else is an artificial attempt to cheat nature, and nature is never cheated." ~Dr. Ray Obomsawin

"Why are they not talking about natural immunity? Natural immunity is fantastic." --Dr. Ben Carson

THE PROBLEM WITH NATURAL IMMUNITY...IS THAT IT'S FREE!

Pfizer currently has 92 lobbyists in Washington, D.C.

Johnson & Johnson has 67
Merck has 53
Gilead has 46
Natural immunity has zero.

U.S. Spending on Foreign Wars and Foreign Aid Since 1917

Since the introduction of the federal income tax in 1917, the United States has spent vast sums on foreign wars and foreign aid. Below is a breakdown of major expenditures, adjusted to 2024 dollars, followed by a total.

### Major U.S. War Expenditures (1917–2024)

| War/Conflict | Estimated Cost (Trillions, 2024 USD) |
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| **World War I (1917–1918)** | $0.47 |
| **World War II (1941–1945)** | $5.74 |
| **Korean War (1950–1953)** | $0.48 |
| **Vietnam War (1962–1973)** | $1.03 |
| **Post-9/11 Wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)** | $8.00 |

- The post-9/11 wars include direct appropriations, obligations, and long-term veterans’ care[1][2].

### U.S. Foreign Aid Since World War II

- **Foreign Aid (since WWII):** $3.8 trillion

[3]Foreign aid includes economic, military, and humanitarian assistance to countries worldwide, with major recipients including Israel, Egypt, South Vietnam, Afghanistan, and South Korea[3].

### Grand Total

| Category | Total (Trillions, 2024 USD) |
|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
| **All Major Wars** | $15.72 |
| **Foreign Aid** | $3.80 |
| **Combined Total** | **$19.52** |

### Key Points

- The U.S. has spent **over $19.5 trillion** (in today’s dollars) on foreign wars and foreign aid since 1917.
- The largest single expenditure was World War II, followed by the post-9/11 wars.
- Foreign aid, while smaller than war spending, still represents a significant outflow of taxpayer money[1][3][2].

When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on *BSD but requires Linux, I'm not criticizing Linux. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Linux" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Linux, it's not Linux's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture.

I got let go at my job, I only worked there for over a month. I got let go due to my job performance. I didn’t get any feedback on how I could’ve improved for future jobs.

I saw how last week they hired a guy immediately and I saw that my position was already crowded. Then there was my mistake on not picking up an entire order due to not taking into account what I was picking up, the guy giving me the items also didn’t want to look at the paperwork when I gave it to him.

Just feels unfair.

The United States violates its own laws regarding transfer of weapons to nations committing atrocities, and now it sends people to countries they are not from.

The US government is literally and arms trafficking and human trafficking cartel.

Trump Administration Expels Eight Men to War-Torn “Third Country” South Sudan

The Supreme Court is helping Trump expand "third country" deportation — and restrict immigrants’ rights to object for fear of torture.

The leaflets, posted on churches and storefronts, called on the “people of the Levant” to "purify the land" by murdering infidel Christians and to “spare neither their infants nor their newborns.”

The flyers call for the killing of children, enslavement of women, and destruction of churches.

Ansar al-Sunnah, who claimed responsibility for the Mar Elias Church suicide bombing, has allegedly denied involvement.

Understanding the Current Political Dialectic of "Left" and "Right" in America Today

Today's "Left," although they like to think of themselves as "progressive," but are usually called "liberals," are neither. They are a Jew-dominated cult of Cultural Marxists who hate your freedom and want to regress us back to a proto-civilized age when male elites ruled through the female masses, making it impossible for the rest of men to compete with them.

Devil May Kuklinski 🏴‍☠️☑️

Yep 😏 obviously they wrongly accused and imprisoned a man with a squeaky clean record. According to ZOG, Epstein didn't do anything wrong. However if I go and bang a 15 year old chick and then pimp out her sloppy seconds to people I want to control, I would be all over national news and they would even say "White supremacists are the REAL traffickers!"

World’s Largest Floating Dry Dock Was Towed Across the Atlantic to Bermuda in 1869
When Britain needed a solution for ship repairs in the Atlantic, engineers built the largest floating dry dock ever attempted, a 380' iron structure weighing over 8K tons

Built near Woolwich on the Thames, the dock was designed to lift 10K-ton ironclads like HMS Warrior & w/stand Bermuda’s warm waters

Unable to build a conventional dry dock due to porous sandstone, the Brits opted for mobility&scale, creating a self-contained U-shaped platform that could sink&raise vessels from the sea w/ballast compartments & powerful pumps

In June 1869, the dock embarked on a 4K-nautical-mile journey to Bermuda, towed in stages by Britain’s heaviest ironclads—Agincourt, Northumberland, Warrior, & Black Prince—assisted by HMS Terrible

W/closed ends to reduce drag & a sail rigged inside to capture tailwinds, the voyage reached speeds of over 6 knots

Once in service, it supported Royal Navy ops for over 30 yrs before being replaced in 1906

"We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion but what's important. If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are. I'm warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit."
