The Day Liberty Died
On June 8, 1967, the USS Liberty, an unarmed intelligence ship, was positioned in international waters off the coast of Egypt when it was attacked by unmarked IDF jet planes firing rockets and machine guns and throwing napalm onto its deck.
This ambush was followed by a torpedo strike that blew a forty-foot hole in the starboard side of the ship. Lacking the capacity to defend themselves, thirty-four sailors were killed and 174 wounded, many for life.
So intense and sustained was the attackโit lasted for nearly an hour and a halfโso specific was the aiming for the antennae and satellite dish on deck, that it was scarcely credible that Israel's aggression was not deliberate; such was the view of Marshall Carter, the director of the NSA, and Richard Helms, the Director of Central Intelligence.
"If it was an accident, it was the best planned accident I've ever heard of." โ USS Liberty survivor

Details include:

2. The rapid depletion of weaponry includes advanced long-range Tomahawk missiles, sources say
3. The Pentagon is set to request $50 billion in additional spending for the military

This is a fascinating story. Check it out.
https://open.substack.com/pub/forrestbishop/p/the-pleistocene-murders-part-1?r=lp6h7
Hundreds of animal species famously died out during the last Ice Age. The reasons behind the Ice Age, Pleistocene, or Quaternary, megafaunal extinctions have been puzzled over for more than a century without any clear resolution. The problem has been called the โFermatโs Last Theorem of paleobiologyโ. These extinctions took place over thousands of years and around the world, but there was a strange specificity about which animals could stay and which had to go. There are two accredited narratives about what caused this, the human-hunting narrative and the climate-change narrative. Both, in curious ways, are wrong.

๐ง Scientists Ran a Real Fly Brain Inside a Virtual Body
@science
๐ A team of researchers has recreated the entire brain of a fruit fly neuron-by-neuron and launched it inside a simulated body.
This isnโt a neural network trained to imitate a fly.
Itโs something far stranger: a structural copy of the real biological brain.
The system includes roughly:
โช๏ธ ~125,000 neurons
โช๏ธ ~50 million synapses
โช๏ธ The original wiring diagram reconstructed from connectomics data
Virtual sensory signals enter the model, neural activity propagates through the network exactly as it would in the real insect, and the simulated body moves in response.
In other words: the flyโs brain is effectively running inside a digital organism.
๐ฌ Researchers built the system using detailed neural mapping and simulation tools developed in the emerging field of whole-brain emulation.
The long-term goal is even more ambitious:
๐ the same approach could eventually be applied to mouse brains, which are several orders of magnitude more complex.
If that succeeds, it would represent a major step toward true digital organisms โ simulated bodies driven by real biological neural architectures.
๐ค Anime fans of Pantheon may feel a sense of dรฉjร vu.
๐ More details: https://eon.systems
๐ฌ Discussion:
If a brainโs wiring and signals can be perfectly reproduced in software, where exactly does the organism โexistโ?

Fortunately for American war planners, a similar operation to what they intend to do on Kharg Island happened in the early days of the Russo-Ukrainian War when Russia conquered Snake Island, off the coast of Ukraine and Romania's Danube Delta.
Both Kharg and Snake Island are roughly 22 miles from their country's respective coastlines and can be struck from the shore by heavy artillery, not to mention, drones.
Russian troops arrived by helicopter on Snake Island on February 24th 2022 and took the Ukrainian garrison prisoner. The plan was to strangle Ukraine's biggest port, Odessa, and prevent any ships from coming or leaving.
Due to the importance of Odessa and the massive amounts of grains which were being exported through the port, Ukraine bombed the Russian garrison on Snake Island relentlessly destroying all standing structures on the island and by the end of June 2022, Russia would abandon the island which Ukraine would reoccupy and Russia would afterwards never attempt to invade again.
If the U.S. attempts to seize Kharg island and somehow does not destroy the oil infrastructure on it, Iran most certainly will bomb that infrastructure in order to cause as much economic pain to the U.S. as possible, besides targeting the American garrison stationed on it.

A few minutes ago, on my orders, the US Central Command carried out one of the most powerful bombings in the history of the Middle East and completely destroyed all MILITARY targets on the pearl of Iran - the island of Kharg.
For reasons of decency, I decided NOT to destroy the oil infrastructure on the island.
However, if Iran or anyone else takes any action that prevents the free and safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.
It would be wise for the Iranian military and all others associated with this terrorist regime to lay down their arms and save what remains of their country, and that's not much!

โฃThe 31st MEU is heading toward the Persian Gulf.
Thereโs a lot of talk about the Marines taking Kharg Island.
But the truth is the USS Tripoli, an America-class amphibious assault ship that carries the embarked 31st MEU, canโt get anywhere near the islandโthe Strait of Hormuz is closed.
To even try and enter the Persian Gulf is the kind of suicidal venture former Marine Commandant, General David Berger, warned about in his 2019 Commandants Planning Guidance, where he noted that โour Nationโs ability to project power and influence beyond its shores is increasingly challenged by long-range precision fires; expanding air, surface, and sub-surface threats; and the continued degradation of our amphibious and auxiliary ship readiness. The ability to project and maneuver from strategic distances will likely be detected and contested from the point of embarkation during a major contingencyโฆit would be illogical to continue to concentrate our forces on a few large ships. The adversary will quickly recognize that striking while concentrated (aboard ship) is the preferred option.โ
And yet here we are, seven years later, a prisoner of legacy doctrine and systems.
If Marines are to attempt to take Kharg Island, it will have to be an assault launched from ashore, not from the sea. Marines and their Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft will need to deploy to Kuwait or Bahrain, both of which are currently under attack from Iranian missiles and drones, and from their attempt an air assault.
If this sounds familiar, itโs because in May 1975, US Marines carried out a similar vertical envelopment on Koh Tang island in the Gulf of Thailand. Conceived as a rescue mission to free US merchant marine sailors taken prisoner by the Khmer Rouge, the Marines instead found no prisoners, but lots of dug in Khmer Rouge fighters who ended up shooting down three of the eleven helicopters used in the initial landing, and heavily damaging five others. In the end, 38 Marines and US Air Force personnel were killed, and another 50 killed before the Marines had to be extracted under heavy fire. In the confusion of the final evacuation, three Marines were left on the island, and were subsequently captured and executed by the Khmer Rouge.
Any attempt to land Marines on Kharg Island will end in a disaster that would make Koh Tang island look like childโs play.
General David Berger knew this.
I wonder what the current Commandant, General Eric Smith, has to say about this?
Back in 1990 the Marine Corps Commandant, General Al Gray, formed an ad hoc planning cell to challenge the plans being put together by General Norman Schwarzkopf to liberate Kuwait.
Does General Smith possess the kind of intelligence and courage that General Gray had in standing up to bad ideas, or will he stand by silently as history repeats itself in the Persian Gulf, where the 31st MEU may find itself in a repeat of the Koh Tang debacle so Donald Trump can falsely declare victory over Iran.
