Three Minute Prepper - Time For Iran?

Ambassador Huckabee says Iran did not get the full message. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Iran did not get the full message following US airstrikes that targeted Iranian nuclear facilities in June. He said Iran appears to be trying to reconstitute and find a new way to dig the hole deeper and secure it more, referring to reports of activity at bombed nuclear sites. Huckabee was asked if the US would support another attack on Iran if Israel determined further military action was necessary. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will ask Trump to back another attack on Iran over Israeli concerns about ballistic missiles, which were effective at striking Israeli territory during the 12 Day War. Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran again if it resumes enriching uranium. Earlier this month, he suggested he could obliterate Iran's ballistic missiles, saying we can knock out their missiles very quickly. When ambassadors declare targeted nations did not get the full message after bombing campaigns, those statements are not diplomatic observations. Those are preludes to next strikes already planned.

The surveillance state is making a naughty list and you are on it. The government's surveillance apparatus is already at work, logging movements, monitoring messages, tracking purchases, scanning faces, recording license plates, and feeding it all into algorithmic systems designed to determine whether you belong on a government watchlist. The Transportation Security Administration now shares airline passenger lists with ICE, enabling ICE to identify and arrest travelers at airports. ICE arrested and deported a college student with no criminal record who was flying home to spend Thanksgiving with her family. Every item you buy, where you buy it, how you pay, and who you buy it for becomes part of a permanent digital record. Companies like Palantir specialize in fusing data streams into comprehensive behavioral profiles, linking financial activity, social media behavior, geolocation data, and government records into a single searchable identity map. Algorithms trained on historical data shaped by over policing and bias are now used to predict who might commit a crime, who might protest, or who might pose a risk. Even the way you drive is being analyzed by predictive intelligence programs for suspicious patterns. When governments transform airline passenger lists into deportation tools, when every purchase creates permanent records, and when algorithms predict crimes before they happen, surveillance is not about safety. It is about control.

America's seniors are being overmedicated into oblivion. One out of every six seniors enrolled in Medicare's drug benefit has been prescribed at least 8 different pharmaceutical drugs. One 83 year old woman filled prescriptions for more than a dozen different drugs in the past year. Pharmacists say doctors might not be aware of patients' full medication lists. Patients do not always mention what their other doctors prescribed, and specialists might not have access to shared medical records. One recent survey found 70 percent of US adults are currently taking at least one pharmaceutical drug, and nearly a quarter are taking at least four. According to the CDC, 89 percent of Americans that are 65 years or older are currently taking at least one pharmaceutical drug. Zoloft is the number one antidepressant but lists suicidal thoughts, serotonin syndrome that can be life threatening, increased bleeding risk, manic episodes, seizures, glaucoma, and sexual problems as potential side effects. Adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs have become the third leading cause of death in the United States, now accounting for over 250,000 deaths annually. When one in six seniors takes at least 8 different drugs while adverse reactions become the third leading cause of death, overmedication is not healthcare. It is systematic poisoning masked as treatment.

Connect every signal. Ambassador declares Iran did not get the full message while Netanyahu prepares to request more strikes. Surveillance state transforms passenger lists into deportation tools while algorithms predict crimes. Seniors get prescribed a dozen drugs while adverse reactions kill 250,000 annually. Previous issues documented strike options getting briefed, drumbeats getting louder, and systems collapsing everywhere. Now the mechanisms clarify. Messages get sent through bombing campaigns with promises of more. Surveillance expands from travel lists to predictive crime algorithms. Medical system prescribes drug cocktails that become the third leading cause of death. Those who prepared for expanding wars, understood surveillance systems exist to control not protect, and knew pharmaceutical industry profits from chronic medication not cures were not being paranoid. They were reading what happens when diplomats promise more strikes, when travel becomes grounds for arrest, and when prescriptions kill a quarter million people yearly. When messages promise escalation, when lists determine who gets deported, and when drugs become leading causes of death, preparation determines whether you avoid the systems designed to consume you.

Stay prepared,
