What Israel’s doing right now isn’t just about defense or retaliation — it’s a full-blown regime change operation targeting Iran. And this isn’t sudden. They've been laying the groundwork for nearly a year.

i got a decent amount of welding done tonight. had to switch to flux core welder outside cause the fumes from welding galvanized with TIG were too nasty and the work wouldn't fit under the fume hood. unfortunately the little flux core welder said it was done for the night and flipped the thermal overload switch. that takes a while to self-reset apparently
i do grind the galvanized coating off the outside but it's impossible to remove it from the inside of the pipe i'm working on. yes i am aware that welding galvanized steel is bad news and can make you sick

In the South Caucasus, people don’t wait for permission to solve problems. They build what they need with what they have, rarely expecting help from above.
On Thursday June 12, 50 prisoners at Delaney Hall, the privately owned ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room. Four men managed to escape.
Attorney Mustafa Cetin reported: “Based on what he told me it was an outer wall, not very strong, and they were able to push it down.”
Organizations representing some of the detainees reported that Thursday afternoon’s unrest was started by detainees frustrated over inadequate food, missed meal times and other concerns, including boiling water in the pipes and a lack of family visitation.
The four men that escaped are Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez, both of Honduras, and Joan Sebastian Casteneda-Lozada and Andres Pineda-Mogollon, both from Colombia.
Immigration attorney Mustafa Cetin said he spoke Thursday evening to one of his clients detained at Delaney Hall. He said his client told him a group of about 50 detainees protested conditions, like lack of food, and some attacked guards. Some of them pushed down a exterior wall, and escaped to the ground by tying bedsheets together into a rope, he said.
People from the community rushed to the site to show support. On previous evenings, many had gathered outside Delaney Hall for a nightly vigil and were speaking to visiting family members.

'A massive massacre took place in central Gaza! Ths occupation forces directly targeted starving civilians waiting for aid close to the American center, north of the Nuseirat camp. Dozens have been killed & wounded!'
>> Based on two eyewitnesses, the people gathered as usual near the aid site in Netzarim. At around 2 AM, four quadcopters hovered above them (a third eyewitness told me he got scared and had to leave).
>> ... Suddenly an Israeli tank got nearer and nearer before opening fire at the people there. Quadcopters also opened fire.
>> It’s reported that dozens were killed and wounded. Some people who were killed are still to be removed from the massacre site.
Sayyed Houthi Underlined Palestinian Resistance Feats against Zionist Enemy in Gaza
Head of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement Sayyed Abdul Malik Badreddine Al-Houthi indicated on Thursday that the extermination rate among the population in Gaza has reached nearly 9% — an extremely high and unprecedented level in modern warfare.
In a televised speech, Sayyed Houthi maintained that the American enemy is engineering this extermination through starvation, coupled with mass killing via death traps and execution centers.
The “Israeli” enemy is forcing Palestinians to choose between dying of hunger or approaching so-called aid distribution centers to be killed, he noted, adding that targeting those waiting for aid is among the most heinous crimes and worst forms of exploitation.
Sayyed Houthi pointed out the “Israeli” enemy has blocked aid entry through the United Nations for over 100 days to turn its centers into traps of extermination and execution.
“Zionists continue almost daily storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, performing their Talmudic rituals, mocking dances, and expressing hostility toward Islam and Muslims.”
The “Israeli” decision to build 22 new settlements in the West Bank equates to a massive land seizure, he added.
“Practically, building new settlements ends the concept of a “two-state solution” as promoted by the UN and others. The Israeli enemy never intended to implement a two-state solution — it was merely a tactic of deception.”
Sayyed Houthi emphasized that the brave fighters in Gaza continue to confront the “Israeli” enemy with strength and effectiveness, inflicting direct losses, adding that there are precise, successful ambushes, and the enemy’s weekly losses testify to the effectiveness of these operations.
“Al-Qassam Brigades conducted over 16 diverse operations this week, including targeting vehicles and sniping enemy soldiers. The weekly losses of the Israeli enemy are significant, highlighting the resistance’s bravery, steadfastness, and impact.”
All Lebanese should rally further around the Resistance in Lebanon and Hezbollah as the true safeguard against the “Israeli” threat, Sayyed Houthi maintained.
“The support front from Yemen, the land of faith and jihad, continues its military operations in the battle of the Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad, striking deep into occupied Palestine.”
Our operations this week are part of the continuous effort to impose an aerial blockade on the “Israeli” enemy, Sayyed Houthi maintained.
“Our forces aim to achieve this aerial blockade in response to the enemy’s escalation and its genocidal crimes. The naval blockade in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Bab Al-Mandeb remains ongoing; navigation for the Israeli enemy is banned, and it has ceased operations in the area of engagement.”

Sweet so I got the laptop fully finished. MIgrated the NVMe from the old laptop to an external enclosure. Sadly the data is inaccessible because Windows 11 likes to default force bitlocker encryption on user's and they never store their recovery key so I eesentially have an ecrypted / locked drive and likely a pissed off user.
If so, you could put the NVME drive back in and turn off Bitlocker.
I just dealt with a Bitlocker encrypted drive today on a broken Dell XPS laptop. I was able to connect to an external display and then turn off Bitlocker.
If you can help them login to their Microsoft account and look for Bitlocker device list, the recovery key is usually there.
I was able to walk the guy today through it over the phone and he sent me a screenshot of his laptop's Bitlocker recovery key. I plugged it in and unlocked it.

The Hidden Dangers of iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox and What to Use Instead
Cloud backups feel convenient. Set it and forget it. Your files, synced across devices. Your memories safe, easy to get to. Your work recoverable and backed up.
Until it isn’t.
This illusion of safety is exactly how cloud giants trap you. Beneath the glossy UX is a surveillance machine that doesn’t work in your favor. Rely on iCloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox, and sooner or later you will get burned.
Cloud storage isn’t internet magic. It’s just someone else’s computer. That means:
You follow their rules. They can lock you out at any time, no appeal, no warning. One flagged file, one “terms of service” violation, and poof. All your files are gone. They scan your content. Apple and Google scan photos, documents, and backups. “To detect abuse,” they say. But mission creep is real. From CSAM detection to “misinformation,” your personal data is fair game to build a even better profile of you. Your data feeds their AI. Google’s updated terms allow it to train AI models on what you store in Drive or Gmail. Even if you opt out, it’s unclear where your data ends and their model begins. You wouldn’t hand your safety deposit keys to a stranger. Why hand over your digital storage?
They love to say your data is encrypted. But here’s what they won’t say:
They hold the keys. If they can reset your password, they can unlock your files. That’s not real encryption. That’s encryption for show. I’m looking at you Proton. Zero-knowledge? Rarely. Dropbox claims “encryption at rest,” but their employees can access your data. iCloud encrypts most content, but not iCloud Mail, metadata, or shared files. Apple’s Advanced Data Protection? Better, but still opt-in, confusing, and incomplete. And even then, you’re still in Apple’s walled garden. (It got challenged and even the option was removed in the UK) Encryption only works when you control the keys. Anything else is trust based security. And trust is not a security model.
When your data lives in the cloud, it lives under someone else’s jurisdiction.
US CLOUD Act. Government agencies can compel access to your files, even if servers are overseas. Secret warrants and gag orders. You will never know it happened. They know how to keep secrets from you, just not for you. Shared folder? Shared exposure. One compromised account in a shared Drive folder can give attackers a pivot point into your files. And yes, this applies even if you did nothing wrong. Your files are just collateral damage.
Dropbox has lost user data. Not once, but multiple times. Search “Dropbox data loss” and see for yourself. Google Drive file disappearances. In 2023, a bug deleted months of data for users. Google said: “Don’t sync, wait for an update.” No timeline. No guarantees. iCloud sync issues. Mac users often find corrupted Notes, missing Contacts, overwritten files with zero recourse. These are trillion-dollar companies. Keeping your files safe is not their priority, collecting your data is.
SO WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE?
Simple: Own your backups. Encrypt everything. Sync on your terms.
Here’s what to use instead:
1. SYNCING: Syncthing A free, peer-to-peer sync tool. Works across Windows, Linux, Android, macOS. No servers. No cloud. Files stay in your hands. End-to-end encrypted if needed. You control everything.
2. BACKUPS: BorgBackup + rclone Borg is fast, deduplicated, and encrypted. Pair it with rclone to push backups to external drives, VPS, or S3-compatible storage under your control, encrypted with your keys.
3. ENCRYPTION: Cryptomator or VeraCrypt Cryptomator wraps files in secure containers, even if you use cloud providers. VeraCrypt works better for entire volumes. Use one or both.
4. REDUNDANCY: 3-2-1 Rule
3 copies 2 different media types 1 offsite (not Google Drive) Backups are only as good as your recovery plan. Test it. Regularly.
IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE, DO THIS
Stop backing up plaintext to iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox. Encrypt before sync. Always. (try picocrypt it’s a beginner simple GUI and tiny) Treat cloud providers as hostile. Not because they always are, but because they can be. FINAL WORD: CONTROL OR CONVENIENCE?
The promise of cloud backups is convenience. But the cost is control.
You’re not paranoid for wanting ownership. You’re not extreme for saying no to surveillance disguised as service. It’s your data.
Cloud backups will burn you. It’s not a question of if, only when.
Why does acknowledging someone's racial difference or "othering" automatically convey conceit to today's liberal mindset 😏 it's like they're painfully trying to avoid the obvious with their mannerisms. How overly friendly they become showing that it's an obvious defense mechanism because they're nervous on how to handle and interaction with someone they know is "other" but has to physically restrain themselves from acknowledging it because they think utopia can be achieved if you pretend while forcing 2 magnets together that don't wanna stick. They're insane by definition

1. The Deep State vs The People 2. Israel vs Gaza and vs Iran 3. Russia/Ukraine 4. Inflated fiat money system 5. Corruption
And so on.
These impossible problems became fixtures in all of our lives. They became assumptions regarding reality because everyone pretty much gave up on fixing them. Impossible (seemingly) problems are the cause and the core of citizen apathy.
Why is Europe suffering economically? They have sacrificed their economies to woke causes like climate change and to their tribal expansionism within the continent. They are doing BAD business.
Trump teased the solution when he offered to redevelop Gaza. He's not going to do it, but he'll set up conditions so others, likely sovereign investors primarily, can come in and do the job in a manner acceptable to those in Gaza and the world.
Trump is going to offer Iran's leaders a way out. A way towards prosperity. And if they don't take it, their people will.
People are complaining about the BBB and its continuation of debt. Seriously folks. Get over it. If $36 trillion did not kill us yet, will $38T (or whatever) kill us faster?
Trump is lining up his solutions in the proper order for success. I expect the obviously death spiral monetary system to be dealt with after those issues involving violent death are handled.
Since Justice grinds slowly, I think the monetary stuff will be tied to emerging revelations regarding moral and economic corruption. The greedy, the sexual degernates, the psychopaths and sociopaths, will be revealed in evidence, guilt will be proven, punishment meted out, and Trump will point to this as evidence of the need for radical reform.
Gold standard? Debt restructuring? Something else? I don't know. but if Trump gets the world's economy moving well for most of the plant's peoples, mere tens of trillions become rather mnagble. If people are hopeful, becoming prosperous, and see the way forward clearly for themselves, they will accept short term costs and inconveniences.
Trump has demonstrated audacity his whole life. As with General George Washington, his audacity was not always and only rewarded with success. He's had and learned from failures. Trump is pretty much the world's leading expert on audacity!
And while many of us were wondering about secret governments, decoding whatever the hell we wanted to decode, arguing about 'deltas' (barf), and so on, Trump was actively exercising his audacity.
Trump's greatest act of audacity was to hold the levers of power for a time, and then to let them go (a lot like Washington, eh?) while putting his trust in God, The Constitution, and The People of the USA.
I spent YEARS trying to imagine the safety net that Trump MUST have built into his plans. I now think that his audacity gave him the courage to perform without a net, while he balanced himself and the nation on a very high wire. WE are the net. The Constitution is the net. And God is the net.
And, it turns out, that audacity is entirely constitutional.
You may not know it yet, but we are all running full speed toward solutions that we have never imagined and that would be derided as impossible if they were discussed in the past.
Danton also said: 'At last I perceive that in revolutions the supreme power rests with the most abandoned."
Who has been more abandoned than the ordinary, good people who get up every day to put food on their family's table? Who has been more abandoned than people who just want to be left alone to live as they choose? Who has been abandoned more than simple, moral, heterosexual, and God-fearing people?
Well folks, unlike the American Revolution that saw overt revolutionary patriots in the minority, outnumbered by Loyalists and 'moderates', the abandoned today are overtly the MAJORITY.
We have Trump. We have the majority. We hold the levers of productivity. We will LEARN audacity.
Luxon claiming Iran’s nuclear program and missile capability is a “threat to peace” at a time when Israel has sparked a war is absurd and endangers the safety of our country. He should walk that back, condemn Israel, cancel his visit to the NATO summit, and distance us from the western bloc immediately.
"The US quietly delivered hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before its unprecedented attack on Iran on Friday, Middle East Eye can reveal.
The US sent around 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel on Tuesday in a large-scale stock-up of supplies before its attack, and as the Trump administration was saying it was ready to continue engaging Iran in nuclear talks.
The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the Trump administration was well-informed of Israel’s plans to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran, two US officials told MEE on the condition of anonymity. "
