Iran may be activating sleeper cells outside the country, alert says The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as “an operational trigger” for “sleeper assets."

“The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" according to alert sent to law enforcement agencies.”

I was called an alarmist when I mentioned sleeper cells. 🤷‍♂️

He’s also sending Witkoff and Kushner to Israel on Tuesday.

Probably nothing to do with global markets cratering and oil going parabolic

Jesus, Japan’s Nikkei index is down over 4,000 points, over 7%

South Korea’s KOSPI is down 8% and hit a circuit breaker.

Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, but it will probably also eventually make Trump TACO.

Sure didn’t.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

Alright folks, gotta stop there for now.

Thanks for spending part of your Saturday with me! <3

It’s honestly hard to get accurate info on this war at all. Some of the OSINT accounts are doing a great job trying, but information is being locked down everywhere.

Even the MDA account in Israel is being censored now. We went from constant updates to radio silence.

I’d highly recommend not touching it. I’m obviously not a financial advisor, but that’s what I’m doing. The market always corrects eventually.

Most of it, yes.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted.

If the rumors are true, it sounds like they ran through an AI target set without fully vetting it.

To be clear, that’s definitely not confirmed yet.

Our military is still the most precise in the world, but there’s always a chance that shit goes wrong. People should be held accountable, though.

I think we have to be careful using terms like ‘unauthorized aggression’

It’s a stupid war, but it’s not the military’s job to say ‘well, Congress didn’t authorize this’ - at least at the operational level.

This is very different than say, deploying on US soil or something clearly illegal.

I think so. I’ve seen zero evidence of US forces capture so far, at least.

I would think Iran would be releasing videos if they actually captured any US or Israeli personnel.

It’s elevated for sure, and the administration is keeping it quiet on purpose.

Someone asked me if I was concerned about the No Kings protests coming up.

I would be lying if I didn’t say yes, but I also think that it’s vitally important that we still show up.

Absolutely. The Pentagon is full of career professionals who are more than qualified to handle the current shitshow.

The problem is that the political appointees largely aren’t listening to them right now.

I think it’s very, very unlikely that the number are that high. There’s a lot of really bad information floating around on social media. I saw something claiming Iran had captured 50 tier 1 operators and all kinds of stuff.

We’d almost certainly be hearing from next of kin if the numbers that high

It certainly *sounds* like treason.

The whole ‘we don’t really care about that’ mentality actually made my jaw drop.

It’s something we expected for sure, but acting like it’s not a big deal is insane.

I don’t think we have to worry about that, no.

He’s going to do a lot of dumb shit, but that’s not even on my radar

I did see that, they’re also extensively targeting Iranian oil reserves right now.

The ramifications of this war are going to be catastrophic.

I did. I would have gotten more if I didn’t spend 30 mins arguing with people about WHY losing AN/TPY-2 radars is a big deal.

They seem to think we can just plug in any other radar and be fine. That’s not how any of this works.

Not really - Trump is seriously considering putting boots on the ground now.

I think we’re likely going to be here for awhile, but I hope I’m wrong.

Whoever is running these accounts is *awful*

CENTCOM has gotten progressively worse as time has gone on too.

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

Well, no shit. I’ve been raising the alarm on this for years now

This is completely unhinged

AMA will be tomorrow night - goal is to try (read: probably fail) to get some sleep in a sec!

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?
