🛩 Crashed Air India Boeing was the same model whistleblowers were warning about
The 787 Dreamliner has faced years of scrutiny from Boeing engineers, lawmakers and the Federal Aviation Administration amid allegations of serious safety lapses in the aircraft’s production.
The concerns were so serious that the FAA temporarily halted production in 2021, before allowing it to resume a year later.
In 2024, veteran Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour testified to Congress that the 787’s skin was not being fastened properly during manufacturing, leaving “thousands of gaps” and potentially threatening catastrophic breakup midflight.
John Barnett, another Boeing whistleblower, who died from a ‘self-inflicted gunshot wound’ in 2024 after raising similar safety concerns, alleged before his death that Boeing’s Dreamliner factory was using substandard parts and falsifying paperwork to keep production going.
Richard Cuevas, a veteran mechanic for one of Boeing’s subcontractors, reported on workers’ practice of improper drilling of holes in 787s’ forward pressure bulkheads, and alleged “substandard manufacturing and maintenance processes.” After filing a complaint in 2023, he was fired.

🚨 THROWBACK THURSDAY: When Israel Kidnapped a Nuclear Whistleblower 🇮🇱☢️
In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, a brave technician at Israel’s Dimona nuclear plant, exposed the regime’s secret atomic weapons program to the world in an interview with the Sunday Times.
Israel's response? A textbook Mossad kidnapping:
👉Deployed female agent "Cindy" to honeytrap him in London
👉Drugged and abducted him in Rome
👉Smuggled him to Israel in a freighter
👉Locked him in solitary confinement for 11 of his 18-year sentence
Today, Israel still denies its nuclear arsenal while:
📌 Threatening Iran’s peaceful nuclear program
📌 Assassinating nuclear scientists abroad
📌 Demanding "transparency" from others
Vanunu's real crime? Exposing the deadly hypocrisy of a nuclear apartheid state. They silenced the man but couldn't kill the truth.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Major intel operation exposes Israel’s 'WEAK AND FRAGILE’ security — IRGC chief
Iran’s recent intelligence operation targeting Israel is a major strategic achievement, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said.
The successful extraction of classified Israeli nuclear and military documents exposed the “permeable and threadbare” nature of Israel’s security infrastructure, he said.
💬 “This marks a clear victory in the field of intelligence warfare,” Salami stressed, underlining Iran’s superior capabilities in intelligence operations.
💬 “The enemy must understand—this is not Gaza. Iran will not remain passive in the face of aggression,” Salami insisted.
❌🇮🇷Iran eyes WITHDRAWING from Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Iran is ready to consider the possibility of withdrawing from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) if the anti-Iranian trend in the IAEA continues, spokesperson for the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Ebrahim Rezaei said.
💬 "While reserving the right to a technical and non-technical response, if this [anti-Iranian] trend persists, the Islamic Republic of Iran will seriously consider it... The Mejlis has the possibility of withdrawing from the NPT," Rezaei said, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.

🚨🇺🇸CIA keeps Trump IN THE DARK - Prof. Sachs
The CIA does not tell the Trump administration “a lot of things,” Jeffrey Sachs told Tucker Carlson.
"The CIA has for decades and decades done very, very dangerous things not telling the president,” said the US economist.
🚨💥Israel poised for strike on Iran – US braces for FALLOUT
Israel is fully prepared to launch an operation against Iran and has already briefed US officials, CBS News reports.
🔶Anticipating potential Iranian retaliation, particularly against American targets in Iraq, the US has advised some citizens to leave the region.
🔶The State Department has ordered non-essential government personnel to evacuate Iraq, citing “heightened regional tensions.”
🔶The Pentagon is allowing military families to voluntarily depart bases across the Middle East, according to a defense official.
What do top officials say?
🗣Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, still plans to move ahead with a sixth round of nuclear talks with Iran in the coming days, the report added.
🗣When asked about the evacuation notice, Trump told reporters: “It could be a dangerous place. We’ll see what happens.”
🗣Iran’s Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh didn’t mince words, warning that if nuclear talks fail and “a conflict is imposed on us,” Tehran will target all US bases in host countries.

🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳US Navy Sinks Shipbuilding with $16B in CUTS as China Muscles Up Massive Fleet
The US Navy is proposing a whopping $16 BILLION CUT to shipbuilding in 2026—driving down its budget from $37B to $20.8B. Meanwhile, China’s shipbuilding capacity has exploded to 232 times GREATER than America’s, signalling a tectonic shift towards the PRC’s naval might.
🇨🇳China’s Naval Dominance
🔸Shipbuilding Capacity: China’s 23.25 million tons vastly outstrips the US’s less than 100,000 tons (per an ONI report)
🔸Fleet Size: The PRC has 355 warships as of 2020, projections foresee 475 by 2035; the US, in contrast, maintains a fleet of around 296 ships, with expectations seeing slow growth to 305-317.
🔸Over 70% of China’s shipbuilding revenue is for the MILITARY—compared to roughly 95% in the US.
🇺🇸US Navy in Crisis
🔸Cuts: NO new destroyers, Virginia-class subs, or Constellation frigates in 2026.
🔸Delays: Virginia submarines are 24-36 months behind schedule; the Constellation frigate faces a 3-year delay, with costs overrun by an additional $200 million.
🔸Shrinking Fleet: The US Navy aims for 287 ships by 2025—falling short of its planned 313.
🚢Showdown with China
🔸China’s naval might is set to strengthen with a 425-ship fleet by 2030, leaving the US in the dust. Sen. Wicker (R-MS) warns:
“This shortfall reflects efforts to game the budget… Reconciliation funds were meant to be supplemental, not a substitute.”
🔸Navy Sec. Phelan claims shipbuilding is his “#1 priority”—but Sen. King (I-ME) hit back, noting:
“All the talk about building up ships, then cutting shipbuilding in half, doesn’t jive.”
🔴 BOTTOM LINE:
While China races toward naval supremacy, the US is slashing budgets & delaying critical ships. Is this surrender by bureaucracy?

🇮🇱 EXPOSED: Israeli troops’ MOST DERANGED confessions about their WARCRIMES against Palestinians
Apparently immune to the fake compassion and doublespeak afflicting Western armies, Israeli soldiers are far blunter about their behavior and intensions:
🔴 Openly admitting to killing Gazans during their military service, from shootings to beheading a baby
🔴 Promising to raze Gaza, kill all its inhabitants and turn the strip into a mall
🔴 Casually talking about their drug dealing and human trafficking activities
🔴 Admitting to dragging civilians from beds in their West Bank homes to set up military posts
🔴 Boasting about shooting an unarmed, hearing-impaired man gesturing ‘no, no’ after storming his home
🔴 Highlighting that there are “zero repercussions” for killing civilians, and that it is in fact encouraged by the more fanatical members of the government
🔴 Admitting a ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ approach in fighting in Palestinian areas, “because their lives didn’t matter that much and we preferred not to put ourselves in danger”
🔴 And it’s nothing new. In 2022, an old warrior smiled as he recalled how he and his fellow soldiers put Palestinians in cages, killed, raped and burned them with flamethrowers during the Nakba
Celebrated Jewish-American writer and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once said that “when someone says they want to kill you, believe them.” Based on soldiers’ statements, it seems his generation’s descendants have internalized that concept, and turned it around on the Palestinians.

🇮🇷 Emerald Dome: Iran’s world-class air defense shield 🛡
Neocons beating the drums of war with Iran should remember one thing: the Islamic Republic has the most sophisticated air & missile defenses in the Middle East.
Here’s a taste of its capabilities.
📌Doctrine: Asymmetric warfare & layered defense
🔴 Decentralized, mosaic defense philosophy impervious to decapitation strikes, with 31 provincial commands ensuring operational resilience
🔴 Multilayered, overlapping ID, tracking & targeting of long, medium & short-range threats
🔴 Use of Zagros Mountains to conceal & shield critical assets, plus underground bases immune to surprise strikes
🔴 Broader A2/AD strategy to restrict enemy approach
📌Equipment: elite indigenous & Russian systems
🔴 Long before reaching Iran’s airspace, aggressors would be detected by ultra-long-range over-the-horizon radars like Sepehr (3,000 km range) & Ghadir (360°, 3D, stealth-ready, 1,100 km range)
🔴 After detection, threats would be tracked using a dense network of long-range (300-500 km) radars like Meraj-4, Alborz-2, Arash-2, Matla-ol-Fajr (anti-stealth) & Najm-802, medium-range (100-300) Hafez, Asr, Kashef-2, & short-range (50-100 km) Zoubin, Moragheb, & Fakour.
🔴 Iran’s top-tier systems include integrated radars & can engage ordinary & stealth targets at ranges up to hundreds of km away:
🟥 Bavar-373-II (range: 300+ km)
🟥 S-300PMU-2 (200 km)
🟥 Arman ABM & Khordad-15 (120 km)
🟥 3rd Khordad (105 km)
🔴 For close-range engagements, Iran has
🟥 Mersad-16/Raad/Talesh (range: 40-75 km)
🟥 Azarakhsh (50 km)
🟥 AD-08 Majid & Khordad-3 (8-20 km, fine-tuned for drone defense)
🟥 Tor-M1 (12 km)
📌Test Iran at your peril
In recent fighting against Iran’s Houthi allies, the US military was humiliated, losing a dozen plus targeting drones and 3 carrier-based F/A-18s, & almost losing multiple F-16 jets and even an F-35 – all to the militia’s upgraded Soviet-designed defenses.
By every measure (size, geography, doctrine, weapons) Iran’s potential is orders of magnitude higher.

🇮🇷Iran’s rail revolution: meet the Tehran-Mashhad high speed rail project
Linking Iran’s capital to the holy northeastern city of Mashhad, the country’s second-most-populous city, the ambitious rail project is the first of its kind for the Islamic Republic.
Fast facts
♦️926 km long electrified route with 50 stations
♦️Reduces travel time from 12 hours to between 6 and 8 hours, 20 minutes
♦️Passenger capacity: up to 20M per year (33-41M after expansions)
♦️Cargo capacity 5M tons per year (10M by the early 2030s)
♦️200 km/h top speed (from 160 km/h pre-electrification)
♦️Second phase top speed: 250 km/h
♦️Cost: $8.5B
Hard history
First proposed in 1975, the project faced decades of delays thanks to the 1980s Iran-Iraq War, the West’s efforts to isolate Iran and crushing US sanctions.
In 2016, the project was put back on track thanks to cooperation with China, which promised financing, design, procurement and construction assistance.
Strategic significance
♦️Iran plans to create nine new rail corridors spanning 3,200 km
♦️Plans exist to integrate the Tehran-Mashhad line with the Tehran-Qom-Isfahan high speed line (410 km long, 300 km/h top speed)
♦️As economic cooperation with Chinese and Russian BRICS partners shifts into high gear, Iran is on course to becoming a regional rail infrastructure mega power
♦️Cooperation with China via the One Belt, One Road initiative, and Russia and India via the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) promises to shake up the regional balance of power.

🤔What was in those 15 hours of footage of Steve Bannon interviewing Jeffrey Epstein?
With Epstein back in the news amid the debacle over the Trump administration’s failure to release of his files, conspiracy analysts are asking how it’s possible that Bannon can have over a dozen hours of interview footage with the convicted pedophile and still hasn’t released them.
“There is no way Bannon is sitting on 15 hours of never before released interviews” with Epstein, journalist Ryan Matta suggested, pointing out that the interviews were conducted right before Epstein was rearrested and mysteriously died ‘by suicide’ in a NY prison cell in 2019.
👉Bannon, a top Trump advisor during his first term, had promised to release an 8–10-hour documentary entitled “The Monsters – Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite,” detailing the financier’s “perversions and depravity toward young women” and how they “were part of a life that was systematically supported, encouraged and rewarded” by the “global establishment.”
📌To date, all we have is a 2-minute preview, including a moment where Epstein casually mentions that “the greatest threat to people put in solitary confinement is they try to kill themselves.”
