Planning forecast shared early FEB to counter fatigue and fatalism and answer "What can we do?" The forecast is phased by activity and strategies. I'll pin it on top to use going forward to locate where we're at and how people can slot in to help #Resist the #Trump and the #2025Agenda. 1/31
Both #Musk and #Trump are Stalinists. Neither believe in free speech, a free market, or a free Ukraine.

"(OPM) does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees within another agency...The agencies could thumb their nose at OPM if they wanted to."

This visual provides a common operating picture (COPS) of all current legal actions against #Trump actions. The purpose is to help people understand what is being countered and where they can help or what “lane” they can pick. 1/6

Low-key nostalgic for that Biden administration. Sure, he may very well have been senile, but I don't recall the entire Federal government getting paralyzed over 5-bullet emails....

Pres. #Trump "he told me he could defeat ISIS in weeks" narrative justifying SecDef change is bugging me.

No disrespect to LTG(ret) Caine. But it took the US years to roll back #ISIS in Syria & Iraq from holding territory. And we never defeated them as I forecast would happen in 2016. A 🧵with 🧾 /1

#Musk's status reports cost ~$18.3m/ week. Each week.

Assumes ~5min per report across all 4.3m Federal civilian and military employees, at an OPM avg salary cost of $4.26 per report.

(($106k/2080hrs)/60)*5= $4.26.

1995 is calling #DOGE asking for their "management by weekly email status" back.

If you haven't been following me on Facebook I've been sharing a lot recently to answer the question "what can we do?"

Stay tuned here for that info to begin coming over.

Before predators groom their targets, they groom the organizations, social spaces, and communities they operate within.

It may not be the titan author but the 'charismatic, guy everyone likes' volunteering or providing event space the community depends upon.

Last of the articles (that I know about) where I was interviewed on the #UnitedHealthcare killing being released. This was also the most directly related to terror contagions (aka copycat risk of #LuigiMangione) and what can be done to mitigate those risks.

#CBS TV interview I did on #UnitedHealthcareCEOKilling about why #LuigiMangione presents a particular risk for #TerrorContagion replication. Accompanying written article in first comment.

Last week I warned, " #Israel raids, #Turkey invades" about #Syria. And hoping #Trump will curtail #Erdogan overlooks how he broke faith on the then US-Kurdish alliance and ceded a death of northern Syria to the Turkish President during his first administration.

Want more context over time for Syria? Here's ~100 InfoMullet posts going back to ~2003. I have another 75-100 in archives unpublished. Coverage begins with the start of the Iraq War, pauses 2006-2014, and picks up again in ~2014 with ISIS coverage.

#Assad is out. What's next:

Sc 1) #Syria fragments into 2-3 emerging state actors: HTS West, SNA North, SDF Northeast etc.

Sc 2) #Turkey backs SNA expansion as #Erdogan tries to annex more as a puppet state

Sc 3) Western coastal belt become feral cities

Sc4) ?

Signs of regime collapse in #Damascus (statues toppled, graffiti). We shouldn't overweight these. It's happened before and Assad survived. Yesterday's 🧵 goes over differences between then and now with Iran and Russia unable or unwilling to support him. NGL tho, would love to see him out today.
December 7, 2024 at 4:05 PM
Yesterday's 🧵 was on what's in HTS's favor to become an emerging state actor. Today's 🧵 identifies the limits. Experiments on computer simulations show that emerging-state actors like #HTS need five contingencies to outperform insurgencies. (1/)

If #Homs gets taken by #HTS, that cuts off the ground-LOC to #Russian base at Latakia and the #Iranian base at Tartarus. They'd still have Jabal al-Ansariya mountains for defense. But major resupply would have to be by air or sea. This may be why we're seeing Russo-Iranian evacuations.
December 7, 2024 at 12:54 PM
Keeping an eye on Idlib and Deri-e-zor, previous ISIS strongholds. There are still clandestine terror networks in the area that may exploit turmoil to escalate to an insurgency.

Syrian/Iranian forces in these areas pulled SW to Palmyra to support Homs, leaving only Kurdish forces.
