  • The issue is how do we communicate to those who rely on us for mutual aid about the new domain? So now we have a classical philosophical conundrum: do we waste/spend a ton of money to keep the old domain, ensuring that everyone remains online and can access mutual aid, or do we use that money for mutual aid instead and lose the old domain/switch to a new domain, running the risk that someone who relies on us for mutual aid can’t access the website anymore as they don’t know about the new domain.

    Or there’s the win win third option in which we can effectively communicate the new domain to everyone on the mutual aid community, and can give all the money set aside for a domain bidding war to them.

    Or I guess we eat humble pie and beg whoever buys the domain to put out a notice that we are moving to a new domain.







  • The MOP is not your ordinary bunker buster bomb, it’s a 30 000lb/14 000kg bomb that’s only 20% explosive by weight, consisting of just under 6000lbs of plastic bonded explosives. The casing is made of hardened metals like tungsten, and the bomb only explodes when it stops penetrating, or at a certain depth, depending on the fuse used. Early documents on the bomb’s design state that it can penetrate over 200ft/60m of reinforced concrete. And each B-2 Spirit stealth bomber carries two of them. No one really knows how far it can penetrate. Nasrallah’s bunker in Beirut was destroyed by 2000lb bunker buster bombs called the BLU-109, between 60-80 were dropped on the bunker and surrounding buildings. These bombs can penetrate up to 12ft/4m of reinforced concrete.

    This video shows the impact of a one of these BLU-109 2000lb bunker buster bombs, how it penetrates the earth before exploding. The MOP weighs 15 times more and can penetrate a depth 17 times deeper than the BLU-109.

    Now imagine a crater 17 times deeper, that’s the penetration capabilities of the MOP…


  • The president also said from the White House that if Hamas did not release all the remaining Israeli hostages by “12 o’clock on Saturday,” the cease-fire agreement with Israel should be canceled.

    “All hell is going to break out,” Mr. Trump said to reporters in the Oval Office, while acknowledging that the choice over ending the cease-fire ultimately fell to Israel.

    The first serious challenge to Trump’s madman diplomacy, where he threatens the opponent with overwhelming force if they don’t provide some concessions. Let’s see if this will work with Hamas, Israel, Qatar, Iran, etc. This is all about leverage here, Hamas is not going to give up all the remaining hostages, and thus all the leverage they have, until they get some guarantees with regards to phase 3 of the ceasefire, the rebuilding and governance of Gaza. Hamas wants to remain in a position where they have some leverage, and with Israel withdrawing from the Netzarim Corridor for the start of phase 2 of the ceasefire and giving that up, this is the only opportunity Hamas has to be in this position where they have this much sway, so they will make use of it. I just hope this doesn’t end up escalating to where Gaza is getting bombed again…
