          Ukraine has struck the pontoon bridges at the Chonhar crossing as invader russia's logistics route to Crimea remains under attack. 's long-range drones successfully devastated the oil depot in Rybinsk. Fuel rationing and shortages have reached Moscow and Saint Petersburg of the failed soviet state.

          Ukraine isolates Crimea. There are only two ways into Crimeaā€”over the Kerch rail and road bridge from Russia (from the east) or from the north down from Ukraine over either the Chonhar rail and road bridge or the Henichesk/Syvash rail and road bridge.

          Ukraine now has the mass and technical capabilities to wage a methodical and practically daily campaign against the invader's logistics linking Crimea to the mainland to the north. If maintained, that will have major implications for the fascist russian army in and the occupying forces in Crimea. Invaders Get Out.

          The photo shows a map of a Crimea, Ukraine and the road system and bridges. That link Crimea to mainland Ukraine to the north.... in the East of Crimea the illegal Kerch bridge to the russian fascist state.

              Filton activists sentenced as terrorists: sentences up to eight years.

              The ruling is the first time a terrorism connection has been invoked re property damage.

              Why did Palestine Action destroy property at Elbit?

              Israel's Elbit makes weapons for use in the genocide, especially drones. Some of the drones make sounds of crying babies in order to lure concerned people outside & kill them.

                Trump says deal to be signed FRIDAY! Nothing signed today!

                Iran says the United States has been left with "no choice but to accept defeat."

                Iran says it will jointly control Gulf maritime traffic with Oman.

                Iranian state media says US-Iran deal will suspend sanctions on Iranian oil and petrochemical sales.

                  Netanyahu informed Trump that Israel will not pull IDF forces from Lebanon and does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon clause in the U.S.-Iran agreement.

                  Iran is getting immediate sanctions relief while giving up nothingā€”no uranium, no ballistic missile program, no proxies, nothing.

                  In fact, itā€™s worse than before the WAR!

                  The Strait of Hormuz was open at the beginning of the war. Now it will be managed by a joint corporation of Iran and Oman.

                      Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act.

                      Tulsi Gabbard released a fake declassified slideshow w/ lies about . Putin's girlfriend actually reused graphics from russian intelligence documents, added a U.S. ODNI logo, and presented them as American intelligence products.

                      Slide elements match russian government documents published in 2022, including materials russia presented to the UN Security Council.

                      Tulsi's KGB slideshow includes:

                      Slide 2 An AIā€‘generated map with errors

                      Slide 4 A graphic identical to one in a russian report re: Material from a US contractor (Black & Veatch) that Russia previously publicized

                      Gabbard used recycled russian propaganda rather than authentic U.S. intelligence.

                      Gabbardā€™s weaponized russian propaganda undermines U.S.ā€“Ukraine biological safety programs.

                      Gabbardā€™s deception harms the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens.

                      Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and contains spelling & geographical errors Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corp. (Black and Veatch) that worked w/ the Defense Threat Reduction Agency in Ukraine. The Russian regime claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. Russian then widely publicized these products in reports in 2022 Gabbardā€™s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian KGB/FSB in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agency Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russians to the #UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week Gabbardā€™s deception harms the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine Letā€™s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research But what is clear is Gabbard promulgated KGB/FSB intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act #europeanunion #eu

                                                      Apple fixes many blunders of its predecessor with macOS 27. But unfortunately, Intel users have to stick with the old version.

                                                        Given that Firefoxā€™s entire USP on Android is that itā€™s an open-source, privacy-respecting alternative for those avoiding (and open-source, privacy-conscious users often run non-stock Android) itā€™s a move that, short of further explanation, rubs some the wrong way.

                                                          The danger here, aside from the misuse of data, is above all that children grow up with this and come to see it as normal to be constantly monitored by cameras. A society under constant surveillance develops differently. It is more conformist, less critical, and very keen on blending into the crowd unnoticed and not standing out. This is exactly what the ruling elite wants: a society that silently endures everything because it fears through the cameras.
