“Russia is rapidly isolating its internet-connected infrastructure from the outside world.”

Richard Fernandez (facebook) – Suddenly it’s no longer safe to be an international big wheel: an oligarch, decorated general, intelligence colonel. The age of sending cannon fodder against the guns has been replaced by the targeted hit. Fame is no longer a luxury. Invisibility is.

Today, if you scanned and counted public-facing Russian servers and other devices, the country would appear smaller than Romania or Sweden, states with 5-10 times smaller populations.

Before October 15th, 2024, Russia had around 920,000 public internet-facing devices and services. These publicly exposed IP addresses include a wide range of networked devices and services, such as routers, email servers, VPN servers, various web panels, load balancers, video systems, and other software or connected hardware.

Overnight, almost half of these devices disappeared, the ShadowServer Foundation IoT data reveals.

The number briefly spiked above two million devices before the end of 2024 and then collapsed again even further. The publicly visible Russian internet infrastructure remains close to 270,000 devices this year.

How Trump and Bibi Outfoxed Iran

They died in their own beds.

Hossein Salami and Ali Shamkhani—Iran’s most senior military officers and the stewards of Iran’s nuclear weapons program—had spent years threatening Israel with destruction. They issued taunts, organized terrorist attacks, and orchestrated, since October 7, the encirclement of the Jewish state in a ring of fire of their terror proxies. And they knew—without the slightest illusion—that Israel had the capability and resolve to kill them.

This cohort saw the Israeli air force bury Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah in his bunker, hundreds of meters beneath the streets of Beirut. They saw Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh vaporized in a presidential guesthouse—in Tehran, no less. Yet on Thursday night, they came home as usual and went to sleep—unguarded, unworried, carefree. Like insurance salesmen and bank tellers following their daily routines, it never occurred to them that they might not wake in the morning.

But they didn’t.

In 1967, Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser made a similar mistake. He moved forces to Israel’s border, declared war in all but name, and left his MiG fighter jets parked in neat rows. Israeli prime minister Levi Eshkol hesitated publicly—then struck with speed, ferocity, and total surprise. By the time Nasser understood what had happened, his air force was already in ruins.

History just repeated itself. But why did these seasoned Iranian officers—veteran warriors, intelligence chiefs, regime survivors—lower their guard so completely? How did Israel achieve strategic surprise?

The simple answer: Benjamin Netanyahu read Donald Trump better than the Iranians.

$4.975 Million Settlement of Ashli Babbitt Wrongful Death

The Deplorables 10 Comments

Good.

Judicial Watch announced a $4.975 million settlement today in the wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Government filed on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021. Ashli Babbitt was the only January 6 homicide victim.

“This fair settlement is a historic and necessary step for justice for Ashli Babbitt’s family. Ashli should never have been killed, and this settlement destroys the evil, partisan narrative that justified her outrageous killing and protected her killer,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Judicial Watch’s team spent years investigating, litigating, and exposing the truth about Ashli’s homicide. And credit goes to the hundreds of thousands of Judicial Watch members who supported this cause! President Trump was an absolute rock in supporting Ashli’s family and advocating for justice!”

Canada’s cultural enrichment on display at the G7.

Khalistanis are now shouting the name of Babbar Khalsa’s Talwinder Singh Parmar—the “mastermind” behind Canada’s deadliest terror attack, the Air India bombing that killed 331 people.

They are chanting: “Kill India politics,” “Kill Modi politics,” “Boycott Air India,” and “Parmar’s ideology is ours to guide,” while ripping apart India’s flag at Calgary municipal plaza.

“I’m just surprised at the number of the people at the front of the parade who were watching, cheering and then would come and ask to take a selfie,” MSNBC’s Ali Velshi said. “This is a very different mood here. People seem to be going out of their way to say that they’re here to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday.”
