Tthe British newspaper The Times reported this week that China and Russia are deploying their finest babes to seduce tech industry professionals throughout the western world to gain valuable secrets, a practice it calls “sex warfare.” If you proposed to your tech-bro he needed to consider that pretty nerd girl who smiled at him was a spy from the CCP fifteen years ago, he would have laughed in your face. But now everything is different, and everyone, almost through osmosis, is getting vastly more savvy to the intel game. It is a terrible thing for a nation to have to live this way, but for now, it is the way of the world.

🐈‍⬛ In Sweden, it's forbidden to leave cats alone all day - their owners be imprisoned for their pet's depression.

New rules: the cat must have a personal space with a bed and a scratching post, and the owners need to play with it at least twice a day. Otherwise, the animal will fall into depression, and the owner will face prison time.

The Medium is the Message

Dubai has only 10 days of fresh food remaining, according to reports.

As I posted yesterday, many Middle East countries import the vast majority of their food supply — and are now unable to do so. When people can't eat, things get hairy quickly — remember the Arab Spring was caused by bread prices...

This is a very serious situation with global consequences.

"Stefan Paul, CEO of global logistics giant Kuehne + Nagel, told Swiss broadcaster SRF on Thursday that the estimate is based on supply chain data monitored by his company."

(And now is a great time to be getting that garden ready for this season...)

Harrison Smith reports that anonymous X users worldwide are discovering that their real names are being searched in Israel.

This comes after X began using verification software from Au10tix, an Israeli company staffed and created by veterans from IDF Unit 8200.

“X is helping Israel unmask its enemies.”

🇮🇷 Russia is providing Iran with information on targets for attacks on US troops in the Middle East — the first sign that another major US adversary is becoming involved in the war, even indirectly — The Washington Post.

Analysts say the intelligence sharing fits a pattern of Iranian strikes on US forces, including attacks on command-and-control infrastructure, radars and temporary facilities. One such strike in Kuwait killed six service members.

The CIA office at the US embassy in Riyadh was also attacked in recent days.

Two officials familiar with Russia’s support for Iran said China does not appear to be helping Iran defend itself, despite close ties between the two countries.

Ben Shapiro says Tucker Carlson's show criticizing Chabad-Lubavitch is evidence he's having a "psychotic break," and his theory they want to rebuild the Third Temple over the Al-Aqsa Mosque is "clinically insane" and "like put that dude in a straightjacket nuts."

✡️ Tucker Carlson calls out pastor Greg Locke for demanding that the US and Israel turn Gaza into a "parking lot" and blow the Dome of the Rock off the Temple Mount to build the Third Temple to "bring back Jesus."

The Church Fathers hold that the Third Temple will never be rebuilt, as Christ's body is the "Third Temple" that was rebuilt in three days in His resurrection, as He foretold.

Carlson mentioned the fate of Roman emperor Julian the Apostate, who attempted to spite Christians by building the Third Temple, only to die in the Battle of Samarra in 363 A.D.

Christian tradition says that St. Basil the Great prayed to an icon of St. Mercurius holding a spear, asking God to not allow Julian to return from the war against the Sassanid Empire and persecute Christians. The image of the holy Great Martyr Mercurius depicted on the icon became invisible, only to reappear later with a bloodied spear.

Contemporary historians like Libanius and Ammianus Marcellinus stated that Julian was injured in battle by a Persian spear (later Christian authors said Julian was slain by one of his own soldiers, also with a spear). While the wound wasn't initially fatal, it became infected and caused Julian to die a few days after the battle.

Phase Two Begins

Translation: Tehran has accomplished its phase one objective of disrupting the global economy and degrading the US military bases in the region and is now ready to concentrate its attacks on Israel and US military assets. So expect more heat and more over-the-top rhetoric in the coming week, not less. DISCUSS ON SG
