We know what’s coming and we are prepared.

Adding on from a conversation with the Monument PD officer who referenced a bulletin the agency received as well as conversation with El Paso County deputies;
Callahan and El Paso County Sheriff's both doing shift change at 1600, going from a whopping 4 law enforcement officers in Northeast El Paso County to 0 for about a half an hour. Based on my observation Elbert County to shift change around then also.
Northeast Colorado Springs and Monument getting robberies and burglaries daily from both tweakers and Latin gangs impersonating food delivery, FedEx, and Amazon drivers. This particular officer lives in Elizabeth off County Road 13 and he's had Latino suspected gang members knocking on his door and then going around and checking the other doors and looking through the windows according to his security cameras.
All of El Paso County having vehicles broken into daily and the deputy recommended if we have a CCW and we leave our vehicle carry our gun don't leave it in the vehicle.
A cute little crime spree in southern Colorado Springs, Fountain, Security Widefield areas, where some group specifically went after law enforcement and military identified vehicles and estimates are at least 50 sets of plate carriers and helmets were stolen in a one week period.
Southeast El Paso County had incidents where Latino men were on dirt roads blocking them as if there's road hazard, sometimes putting out a cone or two, and then when people stopped they were ambushed from the right and left side and robbed. Advice given was if it does not look like official road crew with large barriers and large reflective signs to either push through people saying "stop there's a hazard" or if you could identify it early to stop turn around and go the other way, don't even take the risk of an ambush.
Overall theory from officer was that the cities have so much competition for crime territory that these people are coming out to the country to explore uncontested targets of opportunity.
🇮🇱⚠️❗️ — The Israeli Home Front Command have been instructed to prepare for an imminent war, and a high level defensive alert has been declared, reports Israeli Channel 12
———-
🇮🇱⚠️❗️ — The Israeli Homefront Command ordered the Magen David Adom (MDA, the Jewish equivalent of Red Cross) to prepare for a full-scale war with Iran, following a high-level defensive alert having been declared across Israel, according to N12.
Every one of these clearing functions is migrating to AI — the human intermediary replaced by automated assessment operating at machine speed, applying standards compiled upstream, with no democratic feedback at the point of execution...
The modern clearinghouse requires an unnamed committee, a black-box model, an emergency activation protocol, and a programmable currency to execute its verdicts at the point of sale. The function is identical to the banker at the table — the architecture has simply become too large and too technical for the public to recognise it as the same thing.
But the next stage replaces the committee — COVID-era indicator governance, in which thresholds triggered policy in real time, is already giving way to anticipatory governance, in which the model acts before the threshold is crossed.
A cyberattack against the digital infrastructure on which anticipatory governance depends becomes an attack on governance itself — making the system’s ...
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The problems with an air campaign against Iran
This excellent graphic allows us to understand better the issues facing any attempt to strike Iran. Now that we have some sense of the power of the potential force deployed we can highlight a few important points.
600 Tomahawk missiles may sound like a lot but we need some comparisons. In 2025 alone Russia launched 1900-2000 missiles into Ukraine.
But given the patchy air defence in Ukraine we should also count drones. Including strike drones, Russia launched around 34000 strikes on Ukraine.
Needless to say, Ukraine remains intact. The strikes have taken their toll but the country is intact. 600 Tomahawks represent less than 2% of this strike capability.
But Tomahawks are a rare commodity. If the US fired all 600 this would be 10-15% of their total inventory - not total inventory on their ships, the total inventory in existence!
We could add in the aircraft capacities but this is controversial. Risking these aircraft ...
