The Tennessee Funeral Directors Association has publicly acknowledged the existence of white fibrous clots in corpses, with 64% of embalmers and funeral directors attending its Convention reporting sightings of the clots in the first half of 2025. The clots were found in an average of 17% of all corpses.
In addition to the white rubbery clots caused by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, 70% of respondents reported signs of micro-clotting, and 39% observed an increase in infant deaths in 2025.
Former USAF Major Tom Haviland joined Nicholas Hulscher on the Focal Points podcast to discuss the first state-level acknowledgement of the white fibrous clots at a meeting of the Tennessee Funeral Directors Association.
#US / Thomas Friedman: self-serving meets redundant
There are so many silly things in Thomas Friedman’s column it’s difficult to choose a highlight. Maybe one indication he’s delusional in an old-fashioned colonial way would be this particular advice he dispenses to the #Trump administration, right after suggesting gifting Israel with even more bombs, now adding B-2s: “Recognize Palestinian right to self-determination while requiring them to develop credible, corruption-free leadership.” Thomas Friedman, clearly a genius, is asking the most corrupt regime in U.S. history to demand corruption-free leadership from the Palestinians.
Disregarding the colonial arrogance (the Palestinians’ right to self-determination is not dependent on Trump’s goodwill), but what about looking in the mirror first? When Friedman indulges in ideas like “coercive diplomacy,” he basically admits he’s an imperialist, or rather an imperialist wannabe. It’s a euphemism for imperialism, not a philosophy and not diplomacy. It’s the opposite of diplomacy, in fact. He says the U.S. has the right to dictate terms to sovereign nations, that American interests should drive regional solutions, and that military threats are legitimate diplomatic tools when used by the dominant power.
But the cherry on top is this:
[…] “But the Israeli Jews have no Belgium. They are as indigenous to their biblical homeland as the Palestinians, no matter what ‘anticolonial’ nonsense they teach at elite universities. Therefore, you will never out-crazy the Israeli Jews. If push comes to shove, they will out-crazy you.”
Never mind Friedman’s evangelical orientalism mixed with a familiar populist tone—I believe he was always an opportunistic coward—but maybe someone should remind him that Romania (where his grandfather was born) was never part of Palestine. Most of the Russian Jews who started exploring colonization in Palestine in the second half of the 19th century barely survived the first year, and most ran back home. So much for indigeneity, I guess.
But honestly, when I see him gushing over ideas Dennis Ross came up with, I’m thinking maybe it’s time the White House should hire fewer Jewish “special advisers,” negotiators, and envoys to the Middle East and add a couple of Palestinians to the mix? It’s becoming absurd.
Actually, I’m not sure why he’s using #Belgium and the #Congo as his reference point. Why not stick with #Britain? After all, they eventually left Palestine too. They also refused to implement the partition plan—or any plan, for that matter—that wasn’t acceptable to both communities: the Arab majority and the Jewish minority, which consisted mostly of non-indigenous people who had arrived in Palestine illegally.

Israel has imposed a strict censure on any news relating to the Iranian strikes. No intl journalists allowed and Israelis get arrested if they share clips of the strikes. So this is a good analysis if you wish to have an idea of what's really happening. From min 7:37 you can see the Israeli air defence in the centre of Tel Aviv (talk about human shields) and Iranian missiles landing. So...

So the rate of interception trumpeted by Israel is not what happens in reality. They say most Iranian missiles get intercepted.. Yes, by the ground, because that's where they hit. Haifa has shut down oil + gas facilities. From Al Mayadeen: "Shipping giant Maersk announces stop of shipping to Haifa Port on account of Iranian missiles"
Government buildings, Mossad, the stock exchange, military bases, are just some of the targets hit by Iran. Israelis are getting a taste of their own medicine and they are not allowed to leave the country. Wealthy Israelis have been fleeing by yacht for Cyprus, in a case of 'rats abandoning by boat' Jon Elmer also gives an analysis of the weaponry used by Iran. Incidentally, I've seen on YouTube ...
I've seen on YouTube an Israeli govt funded ad showing the range of Iranian missile, saying that they can hit anywhere in Europe. That's another big fat Zionist lie. Jon Elmer elaborates on the Iranian missile specifications and you'll see that they can reach all of the US military bases in the region but won't get to the UK ... er, no. The Israeli govt is flooding YouTube with made up shit. If you see them, pls block and report.
Risky Medications: The FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to continue sending drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants that the agency had banned.
FDA Secrecy: The agency did not proactively inform the public when drugs were exempted from import bans, and it did not routinely test the medications to ensure they were safe.
A Generic Drug Scandal That SHOCKED Even Us!
Here is yet ANOTHER mind boggling generic drug scandal. The FDA keeps worrisome data under wraps! How trustworthy are your generic drugs?
Still going huh? I'm processing the shock of being so much older than seems reasonable considering the circumstances. Time perception has been flowing fast and slow at the same time.
Fool me three times, there’s a little bit of shame to go around here. Admittedly, maybe I should have caught on to your character by now, but you know, you’re the one doing the fooling. This doesn’t have to be a black-and-white situation.
Fool me four times, I’m big enough to admit that the shame is leaning back towards me. After three times, I really should have been a little more skeptical. You’ve got me there.
Fool me five times, shame is entirely on you again. The only explanation for you fooling me five separate times is that you had some really clever trick that I couldn’t possibly be expected to figure out. Obviously, I don’t know what it was, but it must have been so good, and you should definitely have known better.
Fool me six times, and maybe who gets the shame just isn’t the right framework to think about this anymore. The two of us have a relationship at this point, and it’s clearly dysfunctional. Maybe we should stop trying to figure out who’s to blame and start working on how we can make things better.
Fool me seven times, and you’re not exactly showing me you’re as dedicated to doing the work of improving this relationship as I am.
Fool me eight times and I’ll be like, “Hey, could you maybe stop that?” And then you’ll be like, “Oh, yeah, I’ll stop. I didn’t realize it was bothering you so much.” And I’ll go, “Wait, really?” and you’ll be like “Yeah, totally. Shame on me,” and anyway, that’s a ninth time right there.
Fool me ten times and I’ll be like, “Ohhhhhhhh, you were just fooling me again!” and you’ll be like, “Yeah, obviously. That cannot be a surprise to you at this point.”
Fool me eleven times and you’re probably gonna start wondering if there’s something else going on here. Am I only pretending to be fooled by you? Do I have a secret plan that I’m unfolding underneath your very nose? Are you actually the one being fooled?
Fool me twelve times and, no, it’s definitely not some big plan. I really am getting fooled every time.
Fool me thirteen times, and you start to wonder why you even bother. Are you getting something from continuing to fool me over and over again, or is it just a habit now? Could it maybe be… Love?
Fool me fifteen times and you hope it isn’t love, because it’s getting to be a chore. Has it even been just fifteen times? Or did you lose count?
Fool me sixteen times and you start getting lazy with it. You just say stuff like, “Hey, I’m definitely not about to go to the bathroom,” right before you go to the bathroom. Does that even count? But then I’m like, “HOLY COW, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” and yeah, apparently it does.
Fool me seventeen times and I’m like, “Wait a second…. You’re not trying to fool me, are you?” And for a moment, you think I’ve caught you, and it’s finally over. But then, I’m like, “No, that’s messed up. You wouldn’t do that to me a seventeenth time.” It’s never over.
Fool me eighteen times and something is wrong, with me and maybe also with you. A person shouldn’t be fooled this many times. That’s simply too much shame. This must be destiny. This must be a trap.
Fool me nineteen times, because you can’t escape from it any more than I can. You can’t stop fooling me just as I can’t stop being fooled. You are caught in a web of lies, and you are the one spinning them.
Fool me twenty times and you feel yourself unraveling. This is your Hell. Your shame. I will never release you. I will never see through your lies. And you will never stop lying.
SARS-CoV 2 was discovered at the end of 2019. That's why it's called "COVID 19" not "COVID 20" And it spread worldwide in January of 2020. So March has nothing to do with its birthday.

I'll try to be quick but I apologise first as I am pretty new to security stuff and my questions might be obvious to the more experts.
I have a VPS (hetzner) set up with docker, caddy for the reverse proxy, and authentik as the only login method for a couple of services (hedgedoc and forgejo). Since most of these has to be available and accessible on the internet, I also setup crowdsec and built caddy with the relevant bouncer. This allows crowdsec to inspect the caddy logs for all the services I am serving through it and act accordingly. Edit: all the services are in docker containers.
So far, so good. However, I also saw that crowdsec can directly monitor container logs with the docker integration or through container labels. Also, I saw a couple of collections on crowdsec hub specifically for Authentik and Gitea.
I feel I am missing something so my question are:
Would it be useful to monitor container logs given my setup or would it be redundant?
Should I add the app-specific collections, or would docker logs monitoring be enough?

It seems the same, except Iran has been funding terrorism and supporting families of terrorists for years, decades. No secret. They'd happily nuke any country in the world for their god when they can. The threat is actually real. Iraq believed in waging jihad too, they only differed in their methods of accomplishing it, not their goals. The real problem is not recognizing that its Islamic doctrine and teachings behind these Islamic countries that make them impossible to have peace with. Thomas Jefferson learned it and wrote about it early in US History. Modern leaders mistake Islam for just a religion, but it's much more than that. It means to conquer the whole world, and it doesn't care how it's done, violence, stealth, or deceit. It uses everything it can, and keeps coming. Gaza's residents are perhaps the fiercest Muslims committed to this belief. No other Muslim country wants to take them for their dedication to it.

As expected, amid the war with #Iran, settler violence and criminal activity are escalating. Northeast of #Ramallah, #settlers are accelerating their land grabs through the establishment of new outposts, roadblocks, arson attacks on fields, and the uprooting of trees - all under the protection of the army and in line with official government policy. Land is being looted in broad daylight, while the state turns a blind eye.
After settlers, with the help of the army, succeeded in expelling most of the Palestinian shepherd communities and clusters from the east and northeast of Ramallah, in the last few days they have accelerated the seizure of agricultural land belonging to the residents of the villages of Al Mughair and Duma all while attention is focused on the events with Iran.
Over the past two weeks, two new outposts have been established at the entrances to the villages of Al Mughair and Duma. In Al Mughair, the outpost was set up along the eastern access road, which the army blocked immediately after the outbreak of the war. In Duma, the new outpost now controls the village's only remaining access road, after the settlers and the army blocked the other two. Back in July 2023, we published a post about a checkpoint that was placed east of the village of Al Mughair, warning that its purpose was to prevent landowners from accessing their lands that are located east of the village - paving the way for settlers to seize them. Unfortunately, we were right. Link to the post from July 2023 is in the comments.
As far as we understand, these two new outposts are essentially extensions of the main outpost established in the area about a decade ago inside an abandoned military base, known as "Malachei Hashalom". This outpost is one out of ten outposts that the racist and corrupt Israeli government decided to "legalize" on February 12, 2023. Link to the government decision in the comments. The outpost of Malachei Hashalom serves as an eastern extension of the settlement of Shiloh and its violent outposts. Through a network of outposts that were established since the late 1990s, settlers have succeeded in taking control over nearly the entire area between Shiloh and the Jordan Valley. Now, they are working to consolidate their grip towards the north and the south along the Alon Road, while the army, under the authority of the Apartheid Central Command Major General Avi Blot, allows them to run wild.
About a week ago, it was reported that the army had declared 800 dunams in the area surrounding the outpost of Malachei Hashalom as "state land". However, we have yet to see the official declaration and the accompanying map, nor have we found any signage on the ground, which is the usual procedure in such cases. What we did receive, however, is an unusual document in Arabic, unlike anything we have seen before. Signed over two months ago on April 9, 2025, the document announces an intention to hold a “hearing" prior to either declaring roughly 825 dunams of land or registering it in the land registry as "state land" . The attached map shows that the targeted area is surrounding the outpost of Malachei Hashalom. Link to the document is in the comments.
Meanwhile, settlers in the area are taking over agricultural land along the Alon Road. The goal is to establish a chain of outposts and agricultural land seizures stretching between the outpost of Malachei Hashalom and the isolated and notoriously violent settlement of Kochav Hashahar. East of the village of Al Mughair, you can witness large swaths of farmland that have been set ablaze by settlers in order to block Palestinians from accessing their land. In recent days, an olive grove with dozens of trees northeast of the village of Al Mughair was uprooted. Along the Alon Road, several spots already show signs of settlers plowing, clearing, and cultivating the land.
This is what looting in broad daylight looks like under the racist and corrupt government and the most powerful army in the Middle East.

»Ella Greenberg: „Ich schließe mich keiner israelischen Armee an, die Genozid begeht“ Die Israelin Ella Keidar Greenberg ist 18, trans, links – und verweigert den Kriegsdienst.

Wie es ihr dabei erging und wie das israelische Militär mit trans Soldatinnen umgeht« #Israel #kriegsdienstverweigerung #Genozid #Gaza freitag.de/autoren/hanno-hauen… (Paywall)
»Kriegsdienstverweigerung wird weithin nicht nur als Gesetzesbruch, sondern auch als moralischer Verrat betrachtet. Ella Keidar Greenberg gehört zu den sehr wenigen jungen Menschen in Israel, die sich dem öffentlich widersetzen. Am 19. März diesen Jahres erschien sie in einem Rekrutierungszentrum bei Tel Aviv – und erklärte vor laufender Kamera ihre Weigerung, Israels Armee beizutreten. Wenig später wurde sie verhaftet und in ein Militärgefängnis gebracht.«
» „Wenn unsere Enkelkinder eines Tages fragen, was wir während dem Genozid in Gaza getan haben, weiß ich, was ich antworten werde“, sagte Greenberg vor ihrer Verhaftung. „Ich habe verweigert.“«
»Prinzipiell ist die Antwort einfach: Es findet ein Genozid statt – man schließt sich keiner Armee an, die einen Genozid begeht.«
It makes a great argument. I think the term values is fraught, because it carries the implicit meaning of “good.” But they no one is going to resolve the terminology in one video.
