❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸🎞 Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles: November 14-15, 2023
▪️The Israel Defense Forces continue to gain a foothold along the coast of the Gaza Strip. The Israelis reported taking full control of the al-Shati refugee camp. Hamas militants were pushed back deep into Gaza despite desperate resistance.
▪️ The Israelis continue not only to expand the zone of control in the coastal area, but also to form an operational corridor in the south-eastern direction. Objective monitoring has confirmed the storming of Al-Shifa Hospital, which resulted in the arrest of several hundred Palestinians.
▪️ In addition, the day before, Israeli forces advanced towards Al-Wafa Hospital, which is east of current IDF positions. These actions indicate the beginning of multidirectional sorties deep into Gaza after the encirclement of the city.
▪️ There is also fighting in the Beit Hanoun area and west of Beit Lahiya. However, the IDF is in no hurry to advance in this direction. This may be due to the lack of confirmed targets of military and media importance.
▪️ To the south, Yemeni Houthis launched several ballistic missiles at Eilat and the surrounding area. Air defense systems repelled the attack, shooting down the object over Israeli territory. There were no casualties.
▪️ In the West Bank, Israeli security forces continue mass detentions of Palestinians suspected of links to Hamas. IDF bulldozers destroy monuments and urban infrastructure in Tulkarm. Israeli activity is accompanied by clashes with Arab youths.
▪️ On Israel's northern border, Hezbollah and the Israeli army continue to exchange strikes. The Lebanese attack border posts with anti-tank missile systems. The IDF responds with artillery and air strikes on populated areas as well as forests and plantations where it suspects the presence of Hezbollah.

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.

⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
The incident happened while she was on her route, when she came upon to the mailbox a male Chinese nation came out brandishing a, AK-47 rifle being very hostile,
I don't know if he pointed it at her since it is against the law to do so but she was terrified and said she was never going back and that the location that had a guard tower. Was the sheriff department notified, I don't know, did she notify her supervisor, don't know. But word is from the country folk who live in the area they have seen the guard tower at the pot place;
I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
And yes she was traumatized by that ordeal
