once saw a dentist chair running outdated windows 7 (yes, after EOL) with an anti-virus security alert popup which was ignored, and a horribly outdated Java version installed that was begging for updates
this person was doing minor surgery with that machine daily, I had no choice but to let them use a probably malware'd device on my face, or leave and pray the next guy isn't as stupid
nothing about this is fun
@froge on one side of this, the good news is that a lot of the devices have no reason to be online for normal functionality and can be air gapped to hell
on the other side though, even if a network is air gapped, lateral movement of scum like ransomware can still disable the devices and if nobody took a disk image of it while it was still working, it's toast
I don't really consider hospitals to ever be correctly air-gapped because in reality there are like 6,000 endpoints literally a single hop away from the "air gapped" devices with full internet access, and hacking the firmware of something like an insulin or drug pump is laughably easy because they simply ignored computer security for 30 years, you can still buffer overflow to RCE on those things without any issues

La nostra protesta a Venezia contro Jeff Bezos. Un gigantesco striscione è apparso in Piazza San Marco per contestare il business inquinante del CEO di Amazon.Greenpeace Italia
Talk about a gross oversimplification. Venice grew out of mosquito infested lagoon due to necessity. The Venetian people were driven into the lagoon multiple times over centuries as a means of protection from Germanic invasions in the 7th century. They capitalized on shipping and trade just like any other population would do and used those riches to make their citizens lives better. What would you have expected them to do? Turn away from the money spice trading and Mediterranean shipping traffic brought them because it would make them too rich? Because again, they were a people used to fleeing into a mosquito infested lagoon when their farming population was invaded by multiple armies.
For that reason, comparing an entire cultural population like Venice to a singular person is a false equivalency. Bezos hasn't used his shipping fortune to enrich anyone but himself, but at least Venetian royalty built buildings and public spaces for their population.

The trick of declaring war against the armed resistance and then attacking the resisters’ unarmed kin as well as the surrounding population with the most gruesome products of Death-Science — this trick is not new. American Pioneers were pioneers in this too; they made it standard practice to declare war on indigenous warriors and then to murder and burn villages with only women and children in them. This is already modern war, what we know as war against civilian populations; it has also been called, more candidly, mass murder or genocide.
Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised that the perpetrators of a Pogrom portray themselves as the victims, in the present case as victims of the Holocaust.
...If I went on I would probably come to results already found by W. Reich in his study of the mass psychology of Fascism. It galls me that a new Fascism should choose to use the experience of the victims of the earlier Fascism among its justifications.

The US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—announced with characteristic bravado by President Donald Trump—was framed as a “highly successful” operation. But beneath the surface of military theater, the strike carries deeper messages and calculated signals. Timing, tone, and restraint reveal more than the explosions themselves.
Trump, ever the showman, punctuated the announcement with an odd yet telling declaration: “Now is the time for peace.” That statement wasn’t just rhetorical flourish—it was strategic punctuation. It framed the strike not as a prelude to war, but as its endpoint. In other words: message sent, escalation contained—for now.
But the aftermath is anything but resolved.
A Message in the Timing
Sunday was no coincidence. With US markets closed, the strike landed softly on the domestic front—shielding Wall Street from immediate tremors. It was a game of optics and damage control: shake the chessboard abroad, but keep the boardroom calm at home.
This is classic Trump-era strategic theater: assert dominance, project unpredictability, then leave the world guessing. But even behind the curtain of calculation, this act carries very real implications for the region—and for Iran in particular.
Iran Holds the Next Move
The strike forces Tehran into a tense, high-stakes decision. Does it absorb the blow, treat it as a closing note in a failed negotiation symphony, and preserve its nuclear advances? Or does it strike back—risking a spiral that could pull the United States further into a conflict it likely cannot sustain?
Iranian strategy has never been rooted in impulsive retaliation. Its playbook is built on ambiguity, asymmetry, and patience. A direct attack on a US base might rally domestic pride, but it also opens the gates to broader confrontation. Conversely, a calculated strike against Zionist assets could signal strength without triggering American wrath—a balancing act Iran has perfected over decades.
Then there’s the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has long kept this vital oil artery in its back pocket as a pressure valve. Total closure would invite international retaliation, but a slow-burn campaign of maritime harassment and ambiguity? That’s well within Tehran’s wheelhouse. Expect maneuvers, signals, and shadow games before any talk of outright closure, or else if it’s national security was at stake expect the unexpected.
Following the United States’ airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, senior Iranian lawmakers have raised the possibility of withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz in retaliation.
Esmail Kowsari, a prominent member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in Parliament, affirmed that the country had already implemented protective measures to safeguard its nuclear infrastructure. He dismissed allegations of severe damage to Iran’s nuclear program, calling them “baseless claims,” and insisted that “Tehran has accurate intelligence disproving such assertions.”
Kowsari revealed that authorities are actively weighing a possible exit from the NPT. “We are reviewing the option of withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,” he said, noting that the parliamentary committee would soon hold an emergency session to assess the American attack and formulate Iran’s official response.
Reiterating Iran’s commitment to Resistance, Kowsari warned that “our armed forces will certainly continue striking the Zionist entity,” adding, “US military bases across the region will not remain secure. Hitting them will be far easier than targeting the Israeli regime.”
He further cautioned that Iran is prepared to escalate militarily if necessary, stating, “The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is on the table. We will definitely implement it if the situation requires.”
The Familiar Script of US–Zionist Policy
For Washington and Tel Aviv, this isn’t new terrain. The strategy toward Iran has always been one of coercion without commitment—crippling sanctions, covert operations, cyber sabotage, and the occasional kinetic jab. The idea isn’t to win a war, but to prevent Iran from ever dictating peace on its own terms.
The Zionist regime plays provocateur. The United States plays referee. The rhythm is familiar.
What’s changed is Iran’s ability to rewrite the tempo.
Just days before the strike, veteran journalist Seymour Hersh suggested a limited US operation was imminent—a “strike without engagement,” designed to recalibrate deterrence without crossing into quagmire territory. He was right. The move was surgical, symbolic, and strategically ambiguous.
And yet, Iran was ready. A senior official confirmed that much of the highly enriched uranium at Fordow had already been moved before the strike. The lesson: Tehran was anticipating.
The Netanyahu Mirror
One can’t help but recall the conundrum Benjamin Netanyahu faced in Gaza: repeated escalations with no strategic exit, a cycle of provocation and retaliation that left little but rubble and rhetoric. Has Trump now walked into the same strategic cul-de-sac?
Without a credible exit strategy or diplomatic off-ramp, Washington risks setting itself up for a familiar frustration: applying overwhelming pressure without achieving decisive outcomes.
Iran Bombards the Occupation Continously
A new wave of Iranian ballistic missile strikes targeted central and northern parts of occupied Palestine on Sunday, marking the first such attack since US airstrikes hit Iran’s nuclear facilities on Sunday at dawn. Sirens were activated across multiple areas, with Zionist authorities urging settlers to remain in shelters.
According to the occupation’s military, around 30 missiles were launched from Iran in two salvos toward Gush Dan and the north. On its part, Iranian state television reported strikes on at least 10 separate sites. Sirens were reportedly not activated in several areas, mainly Haifa, prior to impact, raising concerns over the entity’s early warning system.
Confirmed missile impacts were recorded in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Ness Ziona, Beer Yaakov, Ramla, and the settlement of Bat Yam, where a fire broke out in a residential building. In Haifa, one missile struck without any prior alert, prompting internal outrage over the failure of the alarm system.
Meanwhile, Iranian media reported that over 20 missiles landed in various locations across the occupied territories.
86 Settlers Injured
Zionist media reported that medical teams are assessing the affected areas for damage and casualties. In a related development, Israeli media reported, citing Magen David Adom (MDA), that emergency responders are attending to at least 86 settlers injured in the Iranian ballistic missile strikes on central and northern occupied Palestine, including some in critical condition. 30 injuries were reported in Tel Aviv alone.
MDA added that its teams are continuing to survey the reported impact sites, Zionist media reported.
Zionist authorities instructed settlers in impacted areas to remain in shelters until further notice, particularly in Haifa and al-Jalil, where sirens were also triggered.
This missile campaign marks Iran’s first attack since the United States, in coordination with the occupation, launched airstrikes on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, an action Tehran has condemned as illegal and escalatory.
In the aftermath of the attack, the Zionist military’s spokesperson called on the public and media to refrain from sharing footage or images of the impact zones. Despite this, footage continued to come in from the impacted areas, showcasing the massive destruction. Emergency teams and military units remain on high alert as the situation continues to unfold, as per Zionist media.

In the next weeks I anticipate we will hear a lot about Iran's ~400 kg of 60% enriched uranium, which they will probably refer to using the more scary phrase "Highly Enriched Uranium" or HEU.
They will talk about how it is "out of control," which means the IAEA doesn't have tracking of it.
This COULD be enriched to weapons-grade, and used for a bomb, IF they have an enrichment facility to do it in. That's a very very VERY big if. There's a very high chance their only three facilities were just destroyed.
I think the odds of having a secret facility outside the knowledge of the international community is low. Not only are they hard to hide, but they're almost impossible to build without raising flags. As it turns out, a lot of centrifuges require very specialized equipment and parts. You can't build a nuclear facility in secret very easily.
This is RIPE for fear mongering. I'm not a non-proliferation expert but I'll do my best to keep folks informed, as well as boost any voices or sources I find on the matter. As always happy to field questions.
They will embrace W-Cheney's so-called 'One Percent Doctrine' heading into Iraq II ... namely, that if there's a 1 percent chance of something bad happening, it's reason enough for committing the country to stopping/defending it.
Fearmongering fringe probabilities makes it all the easier to do.

One of anthropology’s great cautionary tales involves the American anthropologist Margaret Mead. Mead travelled to Samoa in the 1920s and described in her book Coming of Age in Samoa a society totally free of the Western world’s sexual taboos, to its great benefit. The book captivated Western audiences and seemed to suggest a happy alternative to our damaging complexes and hangups, a world of joyful love and sex without guilt and shame — until it was revealed, decades later, by Derek Freeman, that Mead’s informants had been systematically lying to her about their sexual lives because she was an outsider and a woman. The whole thing was a dream. Mead’s Samoa didn’t exist and never had.
Critics of liberalism and multiculturalism, especially critics of the postmodern variety, see them both as a kind of Western imperialism, whilst denying that they are such. These people are right. Presented as neutral political and interpretive frames that allow the world’s great multitude of peoples to live happily side by side and “be who they really are” in peace and harmony, liberalism and multiculturalism are nothing of the sort. They smuggle in values, not least of all a commitment to moral universalism, to individual over group, to law over custom, that are utterly partial in their origin and force, and to which the vast majority of people throughout history have not subscribed and probably couldn’t even if they wanted to.
The multicultural experiment forced on Britain and other Western nations by their ruling classes is not a genuine encounter with the Other. It’s a dangerous fantasy, a delusion of shared humanity that ends in disaster. We’ve been told these people are just like us, though they may wear a different skin colour and worship a different god — but they’re not. Just how different they are is a lesson our rulers still have yet to learn, if they even care to learn it at all, but one tens of thousands of young white girls will never be able to forget.
