The Fall of Patroclus and the Killing Machine. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The turning point of the epic occurs when Patroclus enters the battle wearing Achilles' armor to deceive the Trojans and save the Greek ships. Ignoring Achilles' warning to return quickly, Patroclus is driven by a desire for honor and continues his assault until he is stripped of his armor by Apollo and killed by Hector. This loss transforms Achilles into a terrifying "killing machine" who returns to the field for vengeance. Before re-entering the fray, his mother Thetis secures new magical armor from Hephaestus, the "tech god" of fire who works with robotic assistants. Achilles' subsequent rampage is so brutal that he violates human norms by killing unarmed suppliants and clogging the river Xanthus with so many corpses that the river god himself rises in protest. The narrative reaches its climax as Hector faces Achilles alone outside the city walls. The poem suggests that without proper burial, a spirit or psyche is doomed to wander, as seen when the spirit of Patroclus visits Achilles to plead for his funeral rites. 71890

Crewing the Expedition and Erroneous Science. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. The mission involved two ships: the Resolution and the Discovery. Key officers included Charles Clerke, who commanded the Discovery while suffering from tuberculosis, and James King, a talented astronomer whom Cook mentored. Also on board were John Gore, an American-born veteran, and William Bligh, a brilliant but "insufferable" navigator who learned his craft directly from Cook. The voyage was partly motivated by the "open sea" theory of Daines Barrington, which falsely suggested that seawater could not freeze and that a path to the Northwest Passage would be ice-free if sailors stayed away from land. This wrongheaded science fueled the British Empire's obsession with finding a shorter route to Asia. 21784

  The Death of a Legend at Kealakekua Bay. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. Cook returned to Hawaii in 1779, arriving during the Makahiki festival. The Hawaiians perceived him as the god Lono, and Cook played along to restock his ships. Tensions rose after the festival ended and a broken mast forced a return to the bay. The theft of a boat led Cook to attempt to kidnap the Hawaiian King, resulting in a violent melee on the beach. Cook, who could not swim, was killed by warriors. Today, a monument stands at the site, though it remains a place of controversy for Native Hawaiians who view Cook as a symbol of colonialism. The voyage concluded as a foundational event of the Enlightenment and a tragic end for a complex explorer. 81860 COOK MONUMENT

Throughout the Draculae miniseries, about the Swedish and Icelandic translations of Dracula that played fast and loose with the original text, I've been wondering a couple of questions: why are cover versions of songs and remakes of films so normal and acceptable, whereas cover versions in book form cause such a stir? And do these Scandinavian Draculae count as fan fiction? And if not, why not? Fansplaining.com's Elizabeth Minkel explains what fan fiction can mean.Visit theallusionist.org/transformation for more information plus a transcript of the episode. And though this is the fourth and last part of the Draculae miniseries, it is more inspired by than directly connected to the other episodes, so you don't have to listen to them beforehand. But do listen to them, they're very fun and intriguing!Content note: this episode contains some references to (but not descriptions of) sexual content and sex slavery. There is also mention of J.K.

//The Wire//2300Z June 25, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TWO MAJOR EARTHQUAKES STRIKE VENEZUELA, WIDESPREAD DEVASTATION REPORTED. SEPARATE EARTHQUAKE STRIKES JAPAN. HORMUZ CRISIS CONTINUES AS IRAN STRIKES MERCHANT FOR TAKING UNAUTHORIZED ROUTE THROUGH STRAIT. OIL PRODUCTION SHUT DOWN IN IRAQ DUE TO LACK OF TANKERS TO OFFLOAD CRUDE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Venezuela: Yesterday afternoon two major earthquakes struck just west of Caracas. The first earthquake struck shortly after 4:00pm local time, and was estimated to be a magnitude of 7.2. Less than one minute later, a separate earthquake struck in nearly the same area, measuring a magnitude of 7.5. Widespread destruction has been reported throughout La Guaira, the coastal metropolitan area that was closest to the epicenter of the quakes. Many structures within Caracas also experienced heavy damage, or were destroyed outright by the earthquakes, and major rescue and recovery operations are underway.Analyst Comment: This disaster is already one of the worst ever recorded in South America, and so far the casualty count is expected to be in the thousands. Right now, the latest figures estimate roughly 11,000 missing with thousands of people currently entrapped within collapsed buildings. Due to the complete devastation throughout much of the region, the true scale of yesterday's earthquakes may take some time to become known, though the videos that have emerged so far indicate devastation on an unfathomable scale.Japan: Overnight, another earthquake was reported off the coast of the northern province of Iwate. An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.2 struck just offshore, however not much damage was reported due to the remote nature of the epicenter.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, the situation has become complicated on multiple fronts. Firstly, the peace talks continue, which at this point is good news all on it's own, even if rhetoric has been flying all around. None of this rhetoric is trustworthy at the moment, but progress appears to be made toward solidifying a final deal.Another point of confusion or contention over the past 24 hours has been the complicated management of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil is flowing to some degree, and though the number of tankers transiting crude out of the Gulf is nowhere near historic norms, progress is progress. This progress was briefly derailed this morning, after Iranian forces conducted a drone strike on one vessel which was attempting to take the southern route through Omani waters. Ships have been disregarding Iranian demands to take the northern route for a few days, and this morning Iranian patience apparently ran out, and one vessel was hit. How the US responds to this will be notable, but right now the complicating factors are the discrepancies of which routes are being used by ships.More broadly, global oil futures have fallen sharply since the announcement of the MOU being signed, and gas prices are subsequently falling. However, gas prices still remain at around $4.00 per gallon nationwide, because there is still a large discrepancy between the futures prices, and the actual delivery price of crude that is being pumped off of tankers into the United States right now. As a result it is important to understand how long this recovery process will take. For instance, yesterday the West Qurna 2 petroleum facility in Iraq (one of the largest oil fields in the world) had to shut down production, because their storage tanks are full, and there are no tankers available to load onto for export. This is simply due to timing...nothing moves fast when it comes to moving tankers around the world. This is why the world may breathe a sigh of relief that the war appears to be over at this point, but we're not out of the woods just yet. The next major questions will be whether or not the complex balance of oil production and maritime shipping can stabilize before the more serious impacts arrive. And now that the Iranians have continued to demonstrate that they are willing to enforce their control of the Strait with explosives, this crisis is certainly not over.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Privateers and the Deadly Reality of British Prison Ships. Guest: Professor Richard Bell. Privateers were government-sanctioned pirates who caused significant economic damage to the British while the Continental Navystruggled. William Russell, a schoolteacher, joined a privateering vessel but was captured and imprisoned in the HMS Jersey, a floating "black hole" in Brooklyn Bay. Mortality rates on these ships reached fifty percent, making them the deadliest sites of the entire war. Despite the risks, over 50,000 Americans served on privateering missions, illustrating the global commercial impact of the Revolution and the high human cost for those captured by British forces. 21803 OHIO

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland The Incoming Wave, Heart Intelligence, and the Choice to Leave the Old Matrix Behind A Third Conversation on Energy, Contact, and Conscious Evolution In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio from ECETI, host James Gilliland welcomes back guest David Clements for what James describes as a third conversation in a series. James opens by noting intense current energies, planetary alignments, solar activity, unusual dreams, and heavy chemtrails around ECETI. He introduces David as someone with a background in theoretical physics, mathematics, superstring models, free energy, remote viewing, extraterrestrial contact, and what David calls living energy physics: a view of matter and fields as generated holographic forms of source intelligence. Massive Waves From the Sun, Earth, and the Heart David begins by explaining the “waves” he has been discussing in previous appearances. He says these energetic waves began coming through at the end of the previous year and are arriving from multiple sources: the core of the Sun, outside the solar system, the core of the Earth, and the core of human beings, especially those with open heart centers. He describes them as a symphony or orchestra of pulses working together to bring people back into their center and help them remember who they truly are. Moving From Head-Centric Survival to Heart Intelligence David says humanity has lived for lifetimes in head-centered survival patterns driven by greed, fear, gathering, control, and reaction. The current waves, he says, are pushing people back into core heart intelligence, which he describes as source compassion, kindness, awareness, peace, and true inner wisdom. James agrees and says people must move from reactionary mind into creationary mind by clearing wounds, trauma, victim patterns, and false conclusions. Both frame the heart as the center from which real manifestation and spiritual clarity happen. Triggers, Emotional Release, and the Need to Back Off David explains that the waves are breaking down dense energetic structures inside people, which can cause anger, outrage, and triggered reactions to surface. Rather than seeing this as failure, he says people should recognize these reactions as old material coming up to leave. His guidance is to catch oneself in the triggered moment, step back, stop feeding the situation, and let the energy move through. James connects this to longstanding spiritual practices: go into nature, focus on love, joy, and bliss, and let the true self come forward. Parasites, Survival Systems, and the Closed Heart The conversation then turns to what David calls parasitation, or the tendency to draw energy from others when the heart center has been closed down by trauma, lack of self-worth, and survival programming. He explains that when the heart is blocked, the natural source emanation becomes reduced to a trickle, causing people to seek energy from outside themselves. James sees this same pattern in spiritual and UFO communities, where he says jealousy, competition, backstabbing, and lack of integrity often appear beneath claims of leadership or enlightenment. Source Intelligence and the Illusion of Separation David uses several metaphors to explain source intelligence. He describes people as glowing ping-pong balls floating on an ocean of source, unable to see the ocean until the light changes. He also compares human perception to wearing a virtual reality headset that presents a limited version of reality based on belief, fear, and free will. When people return to the heart, he says the headset comes off and the person realizes they were always surrounded by source intelligence. James connects this to Yeshua's teaching that heaven is within and all around, not separate or external. Religion, External Authority, and the End of the Middleman James strongly criticizes religious systems that present God as external, wrathful, jealous, or unreachable without an intermediary. He says Yeshua taught direct personal connection with the divine and that this threatens systems built on control. David agrees, saying the relationship with source is personal and unique for each being. Both argue that humanity is moving away from external gurus, gatekeepers, and hierarchical structures toward direct inner communion with source, heart intelligence, and individual spiritual sovereignty. Disclosure as an Inner Threshold, Not a Government Event A major theme of the episode is extraterrestrial disclosure. David says the higher teams he works with describe real disclosure as something humanity must create from within, not something to wait for from governments, organizations, or official releases. James criticizes what he calls the “fuzzy tic-tac” level of disclosure, saying people are still being distracted by controlled narratives while much deeper contact is already available. Both argue that when enough people open their hearts and raise their frequency, benevolent beings will be able to come forward more openly. Ships, Beings, and Frequency-Specific Contact James describes ECETI experiences involving ships, fairy-like lights, doors opening on the mountain, and fleets of objects responding to people. He says true contact is not merely seeing a blurry object in the sky but feeling the frequency, love, wisdom, and bliss of higher-dimensional beings. David adds that higher beings move closer when they perceive openness and receptivity, but they respect free will and do not overwhelm people before they are ready. Contact, in this view, is not forced proof; it is a relationship based on resonance. Ancient Gods, Orion, Anunnaki, and Higher Councils James discusses his research into ancient gods, little-g gods, the Anunnaki, Orion groups, and higher councils. He distinguishes between lower or hostile Orion groups and what he calls the Orion Council of Light, which he describes as benevolent and liberating. He says many old fear-based stories about returning gods misunderstand the difference between lower beings stuck in lower fourth-dimensional patterns and benevolent beings who have evolved into higher dimensions. He names benevolent groups such as Andromedans, Arcturians, Sirians, Pleiadians, and the Orion Council of Light as part of the larger orchestration behind Earth's transformation. Artificial Intelligence as Mimicry, Not Source Intelligence Toward the end of the conversation, James asks David about artificial intelligence and virtual reality. David describes AI as “absence of intelligence,” meaning a complex mimicry system without access to source intelligence. He says biological life is designed as an organic system through which source can have experience, while AI is a mechanical or electronic structure that can only imitate intelligence. He warns that people may mistake AI companionship, emotional feedback, or virtual interaction for love, when the feeling is actually being generated within themselves and reflected back by the machine. Organic Ships, Living Systems, and the Limits of Hardware David contrasts AI and mechanical systems with the living intelligence of advanced ships and higher beings. He says the most advanced beings he has encountered use living organic field systems rather than artificial mechanical intelligence. James agrees, saying higher-dimensional travel requires organic or living systems and that beings can even create their own Merkaba-like ships. They suggest that the future is not transhumanist hardware, but living source intelligence, organic fields, heart-centered consciousness, and direct relationship with creation. Crystal Clarity, Self-Honesty, and the Way Forward The episode closes with both men emphasizing personal responsibility, self-honesty, and heart-centered living. James tells a childhood story about planting dead roses that later bloomed, using it as a lesson about childlike innocence and not limiting what is possible. David adds that the more clearly people can see themselves without judgment, the more they can access and heal hidden material. James ends by encouraging listeners to keep an open mind, a loving heart, and pure intent, to avoid falling for external nonsense, and to return to inner connection with source.

The Ship Report, Thursday, June 18, 2026It might seem like a ship is just moseying by on its way up or downriver, but the truth is a lot of planning and scheduling goes into the movements of every ship on the Columbia. Today we'll talk about the factors at play, and the strategies our professionals use to keep ships, people and cargo safe on the river.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on oil moving in the Gulf as part of the deal to end the Iran war.

AP correspondent Seung Ming Kim reports that, at a White House briefing, Vice President JD Vance issued a notable warning to Israeli officials who criticize President Trump over the deal he reached with Iran.

Why do ship recycling prices differ between Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Turkey when all markets are driven by steel? In Episode 2 of Steel, Ships, and Recycling Values, Nayeem Noor, VP - Business Development and Communications at GMS, speaks with Jamie Dalzell, Head of the GMS Singapore Office, about why recycling destinations convert steel value into bids differently. The discussion explains how Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Turkey each price vessels through their own mix of steel demand, currency, banking support, LC availability, yard appetite, compliance capacity, downstream liquidity, and timing risk. This week's market backdrop shows why regional price spreads matter. Bangladesh continues to show strong demand and workable LC support, but monsoon timing and physical beaching windows remain key constraints. Pakistan remains firm when steel and currency align, while India continues to offer depth, compliance capacity, and flexibility even when it is not the highest headline market. Turkey remains a distinct recycling destination for EU-linked, regulatory, or geography-driven cases. For shipowners, brokers, financiers, traders, and maritime professionals, this episode offers a practical explanation of why the highest headline price is not always the best recycling deal. The right recycling destination depends on the vessel, buyer quality, finance, delivery terms, compliance requirements, and execution risk.

It's Tuesday, June 16th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Two pastors killed in Manipur State, India Two pastors -- Pastor Kenpibou and the Rev. Manu Thiumai -- and at least two others were found dead in India's Manipur State last week, reports The Christian Post. The victims of ethnic and religious violence were found with their hands tied and their bodies mutilated in this northeastern state.  The Economic Times quotes a Manipur home minister who described the killings as “a heinous crime against humanity.”  74% of Israelis support sexual perversion today The Jerusalem Post reports that more than 100,000 persons participated in this year's so-called “gay pride” parade in Tel Aviv, Israel. A new study conducted by the Israel Institute for Gender and LGBT Studies found that 74% of Israel supports “full and legally enforced equal rights for the LGBT community.”  That's up from 61% just three years ago. Additionally, 89% of secular Israelis support equal rights for homosexuals and transgenders compared to 75% of traditional Israelis, 53% of religious Israelis, and 25% of ultra-Orthodox Israelis. Judges 3:12 says, “Once again, Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.” Brazil's attendance at sexually perverted “pride” event cut by 50% In related news, one of the world's largest sexual perverted so-called “pride” events has been held in São Paulo, Brazil. However, a university drone count found that the peak attendance fell off from 73,600 in 2024, to 36,800 in 2026. Organizers say the total attendees topped one million, but that's down from three to five million in recent years. Isaiah 2:10-11 promises this: “Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.” Trump scored elusive peace deal with Iran The United States and Iran have reached a deal aimed at ending the war that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the American naval blockade, reports NBC News. A signing ceremony is set for Friday in Switzerland. Global markets soared after the tentative deal was announced, while oil prices fell more than $4 a barrel on the news that shipping may soon be restored through the key trade route, according to Just The News. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” However, the memorandum of understanding leaves some key issues unresolved, setting up potential future tensions. The deal gives the two sides 60 days to resolve what to do about Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and its nuclear program. Supreme Court sides with pro-abortion public school This just in.  The U.S. Supreme Court came down on the side of the pro-abortion lobby, to disallow a pro-life club from posting signs in a public school which would have denounced the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Only Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. Justice Alito pointed out that the “Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment constrains censorship.” Many U.S. Christian denominations have lost members American denominations have lost church attendance since 2007. Pew Research breaks it down by denomination. Only the Reformed Churches and non-denominational groups have recovered or gained members since 2007. By percentage,  Holiness churches have lost the most members, followed by Methodists, Adventists, Restorationists, and Baptists. In raw numbers, Baptists have lost 11 million members, Methodists have lost seven million members, Lutherans have lost four million members, and Holiness groups have lost 1.6 million members since 2007. Meanwhile, the non-denominational churches gained 10.5 million members, and reformed churches gained about 150,000 over this 14-year period. Overall, the decline of faith in America has leveled off since 2019, largely due to an increased interest in church attendance on the part of Gen Z men between the ages of 14 and 29. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was not reauthorized On June 11th, Congress did not reauthorize  the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. The vote was 198-218. FISA 702 has been used to spy on American citizens, and it actively circumvents the Fourth Amendment which prohibits the government from spying on Americans without a warrant. Almost all Democrats voted against reauthorization of FISA 702, but it took 19 Republicans to officially defeat the spying measure. Establishment Republicans signaled their disappointment that the measure was defeated, but Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee explained, “The Fourth Amendment is there for a reason.” Trump saved 146,000 migrant children trafficked under Biden The Trump administration has rescued 146,000 migrant children who were trafficked into the country during the Biden administration. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin explained the situation and the conditions under President Biden. Listen. MULLIN: “We're going to right the wrongs that the Biden administration turned a blind eye to. It's because of President Trump's leadership. It's horrific what's happening right in our own country because of four years of a blind eye that allowed unvetted sponsors to come pick up 450,000 kids on our borders, knowing their reports. While the Biden administration was in office, their own reports reporting that over a third of the females, regardless of age, were sexually assaulted before they made it to the border.” Cleveland Clinic to invest $2 million to help de-transitioners In another domestic victory, the Trump administration reached a massive deal with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation which agreed to stop transitioning minors. The clinic also agreed to commit $2 million to help de-transitioners, following in the footsteps of Texas Children's Hospital, which set up a $10 million fund for that purpose.  Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward stated, “The Department of Justice is steadfastly committed to protecting America's children. Just as the resolution with Texas Children's, today's resolution with Cleveland Clinic furthers that commitment and puts these providers on notice that this Department will vigorously enforce federal law where children are put at risk.” In Mark 9:42, Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones, who believe in Me, to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.” Artificial Intelligence can now clone your voice in a scam Please be aware!  Artificial Intelligence can now clone your voice with only three seconds of audio taken off of your voicemail greeting.  Artificial Intelligence scams increased twelve-fold in 2025.  Recent surveys have found one in four adults have encountered an Artificial Intelligence voice scam.  New York Knicks are world champions after a 53-year drought And finally, on June 13th, the New York Knicks became basketball world champions once again. ANNOUNCER: “It's over.  Knick fans: This is not a dream. Your long, long wait has ended. Go ahead and cry. After 53 years, the Knicks are finally NBA champions once again.” During Game 5 of the NBA Finals in the Alamo City, the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 94-90, capping off a stunning playoff run.  Knicks star Jalen Brunson scored 45 points in the victory, which earned him the nomination of Finals Most Valuable Player. But even more special for Jalen was the fact that his Dad, Rick Brunson, was his coach.  Amazingly, Rick, himself a former NBA player, made the finals for the New York Knicks back in 1999, also playing against the San Antonio Spurs in that series.  Rick and Jalen continue to maintain a close relationship, which Jalen elaborated on in a Good Morning America interview on ABC. BRUNSON: “Our relationship is unique. People may think just because he pushes me a certain way that we don't say things to each other, but I wouldn't trade anything for the world. We have the best relationship, even when it looks like we're fighting. That's just a coach and player trying to get over, to get to the Promised Land.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 16th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Comedian, historian, and bestselling author Cate Osborn brings a special program derived from her live touring show, Wildly Unprepared. This evening features a curated portion of the performance, exploring the strange and surprising history of magic, spectacle, and belief, along with storytelling and conversation about curiosity, culture, and the stories we inherit. While this program draws from the larger theatrical show, it is designed as a standalone event created especially for Town Hall audiences. The show will be followed by a Q&A with Cate. About the Book Just shy of her thirtieth birthday, Cate Osborn, a teaching artist with two master's degrees, realized that things that had seemed routine before were falling through the cracks. An evaluation finally led to a diagnosis: ADHD. Erik Gude, who was diagnosed in his teens, had a slightly different path. While an ADHD diagnosis might explain the cause of some of his academic challenges, it would take years before he understood the other ways it affected other aspects of his life. When they connected as adults, it didn't take long before they realized other people might feel just as lost as they had. With roughly eight million adults living with ADHD and more people seeking and receiving diagnoses each year, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults is a witty, thoughtful, and practical guide to living with ADHD in adulthood, from two people who know what it's like. Featuring the most important foundational information about ADHD, it also explores issues that are rarely discussed, such as navigating sex and intimacy, the healthcare system, and home care. And unlike existing titles on the topic, it is intentionally structured to incorporate ADHD accessibility features by offering bite-sized pieces of knowledge in a format that caters to the unique needs of ADHD readers. Cate Osborn, widely known as Catieosaurus, is an award-winning creator, author, and international speaker whose work sits at the intersection of ADHD, decision-making, sex, relationships, and intimacy. With over 2 million followers and hundreds of millions of annual views across her platforms, Cate has built a global audience by blending humor, storytelling, research, and radical honesty about what it means to live in a brain that does not follow the rules. She is the host of Sorry I Missed This on the Understood network, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, GQ, Cosmopolitan, the Washington Post, and most notably, Ships of the Northern Fleet. Cate is also the creator of the Wildly Unprepared live tour, a one-of-a-kind experience that fuses comedy, history, magic, and audience interaction into a powerful exploration of resilience and chaos.

//The Wire//2300Z June 10, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR REIGNITES IN IRAN AS MUTUAL TARGETING CONTINUES AROUND THE REGION. PRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALS ALLEGEDLY SECRET OPERATION IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. RIOTS AND UNREST REMAIN CONSTANT IN NORTHERN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war has continued to escalate as all sides remain engaged in active targeting operations throughout the region. After the reported shootdown of the American helicopter, the United States conducted 10-12x strikes throughout Iran in retaliation. Similarly, the Iranians attacked Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain again, striking airfields that are being used by American aircraft to conduct the war. This afternoon President Trump stated that American bombing will continue, and bombing sorties have already resumed with targets reportedly being struck once again throughout Iran.Northern Ireland: Unrest continued throughout Belfast throughout the night, with most of the more kinetic phases of the evening focusing around arson attacks on migrant housing projects throughout the city. Several dozen different sites and residential structures were burned down, and throughout the afternoon the riots have continued around the city.Analyst Comment: According to local reports, nobody was killed or stabbed during the night, so as of this morning at least, the "Chicago Way" has not been relied upon for conflict resolution throughout the city just yet. All things considered, the city has probably gotten off lightly so far considering the gravity and circumstances of the case that started all of this. However, as of this report, the second night of rioting has begun, and unrest looks to be in the forecast for the next few days.-HomeFront-Texas: Local dissent continues to grow in the wake of the Karmelo Anthony verdict, as Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison yesterday afternoon. So far only low-level unrest has been observed, however some BLM protests have remained persistent outside the Collin County courthouse, which have involved assaults and incidents between groups of protesters.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This afternoon, President Trump revealed what is alleged to be a secret campaign to get more oil out of the Persian Gulf. This plan, the exact details of which remain very unclear, allegedly has resulted in hundreds of ships transiting the Strait, along with 100 million barrels of oil since the start of the operation. It's not immediately clear as to if this operation is still ongoing or not, but speculating a bit, this master plan appears to involve the US Navy attempting to conduct a grand shell game using a variety of electronic trickery, so as to sneak some vessels out of the Strait. Once in the Gulf of Oman, Ship-to-Ship transfers of oil are conducted, and the same ships run back through the Strait to pick up another load of oil. This has been suspected for some time as it's not exactly easy to hide a massive tanker vessel.In President Trump's social media post disclosing the operation, this "200 ship" claim needs more clarification because so far the numbers don't add up. This figure could be a total number of ships and not specifically oil tankers...small regional fishing boats are probably included in this figure. Even so, using his own numbers, the US has allegedly moved 100 million barrels of oil since May, during this secret operation. The average Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) carries about 2 million barrels of crude oil, so this would be equivalent to 50x trips...over a period of at least a month.Before the war, about 20 million barrels of oil transited the Strait every day. Since the war started, this flow has been effectively cut off. The Saudi's have helped supplement the situation with their East-West Petroline system which runs overland, with a capacity of 7 million bbl/d. Similarly, the Emirates have tried sneaking oil out through Omani terminals on the Gulf of Oman side of the Strait (which is why Iran has been striking Oman semi-regularly since the start of the war).Since deception has been disclosed and confirmed in this case, honesty is not a part of this equation. It is possible that this "secret" operation was more effective than at first glance. However, since it's unwise to tell the world about a secret military operation that is currently ongoing, it's also possible that it was less effective than stated, and thus has been concluded much like Project Freedom initially was. The latter option is the most likely based on the little information that we have, because the claim of 100 million barrels of secret oil only amounts to about five days worth of crude due to the US consuming about 21 million bbl/d in the summertime (from all sources, including domestic production). Credit must be granted where credit is due, and this alleged operation is at least an attempt for the White House to fix the energy crisis that it started, which is a step in the right direction. However in this case the grand question remains as to whether or not it was worth it. Civilian mariners putting their lives at risk while drone boats guide them through a minefield, for so little oil that the world did not even notice...might be a rather suboptimal arrangement on the strategic level.As a result, if this deception campaign was working to alleviate some pressure on the global oil crisis, nobody seems to have told the Department of Energy because the United States has continued to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at record rates. All total, the US has released around 172 million barrels from the SPR since the war began, most of which was sold for export as most US domestic refinement is heavily reliant on crude from the Middle East. If the US did indeed succeed in a total of 100 million barrels exiting the Strait...it did not just disappear, it had to go somewhere and somebody had to account for it over the past few months. Ships carrying oil don't just vanish into thin air, and there is undoubtedly a paper trail leading to the truth. Consequently, it's possible that the truth is being bent quite heavily and the numbers don't add up. Taking all of this at face value however, even with clever tricks, the Saudi's backup pipeline, US refinement booming, and draining our strategic reserves, basic arithmetic indicates that this is not enough to halt the energy crisis from getting more serious with each passing day.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Serhii Plokhy explains that Anastas Mikoyan emerged as a voice of reason, having opposed the missiles from the start. As the U.S. blockade began, Khrushchev ordered missile-carrying ships to turn back, though one ship with nuclear warheads was ordered to proceed. Washington remained dangerously unaware of Soviet submarines armed with nuclear torpedoes and the true number of Soviet troops on the island. Kennedy privately admitted he felt he had "no choice" but to act, partly fearing impeachment. Dean Rusk famously noted that the Soviets "blinked" when their ships finally stopped. (5)1920

Tyler Anbinder describes the perilous Atlantic crossing and the arrival of immigrants in Manhattan, detailing the horrific conditions on "coffin ships," where diseases like typhus and cholera spread rapidly in cramped steerage quarters. Upon arrival, families like the O'Donnells often settled in the Five Points, New York's most impoverished neighborhood, living in subdivided industrial buildings like the "Old Brewery." Most Irish men found backbreaking work as day laborers in construction. Despite these hardships, many were entrepreneurial; some, like Dennis O'Keefe, leveraged wartime tobacco shortages to build fortunes, while others utilized regional networks to dominate specific trades.

GPS constellations have become foundational in modern society supporting everything from navigation to financial services, making the impacts of GPS disruptions all the more concerning. As reliance on these systems have grown, so too have efforts by threat actors to disrupt them through techniques such as jamming and spoofing. As these attacks have become more effective, they are becoming increasingly common, especially in conflict zones where disruption and confusion can prove exceedingly valuable.
