Hiya new CoSonauts (and TY for the recommendations older Nauts).

If you're looking for Ukraine information and you don't see anything recent in my time line, or you just have questions about the war, please feel free to ask. I will answer as best as I can with what I know at the time.

I'm not online 24/7 so there may be a delay, but the answer will come.

Folks...

If you think my work here is of value to you and you want to donate, please donate to CoSo in my name.

I'm announcing that I'm issuing arrest warrants for every member of the ICC, for aiding and abetting terrorists and terrorist acts of extreme violence.

Further indictments (UN staffers, college professors) will follow...

Because I have the same authority that the ICC does.

"Blinken orders crackdown on Israel-Hamas leaks

The secretary’s message has been delivered to every corner of the State Department."

Not linking to that shit site.

The embarrassment at State has become self-replicating.

How many times can a federal agency metaphorically shoot itself in the foot?

Apparently the answer is, "yes."

Stacks upon stacks...

I'll just drop this one here.

(yes, I know the cover pick doesn't quite fit. Don't care right now).

And who exactly is Nada Abuasi of the grandiosely named Philadelphia Palestine Coalition?

She has a file, and a long history of evil.

So, is it "hundreds" or just 75 Hamas supporters at Drexel?

The Drexel Palestine Coalition’s "students" list of demands include a demand to immediately terminate Drexel’s relationship with Jewish organizations Hillel International and Chabad.

Tell me again how it's just about Israel, or Bibi.

The new President of Iran is the former Vice-President of Iran (for now).

He's former IRGC (no such thing, IRGC is for life).

He was last (most visibly newswise) seen negotiating the transfer of Iranian Shaheed-136 drones and construction plans to Russia in 2022.

Yeah, they're all dead.

List of passengers traveling on the helicopter:

President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hossein Amir-Abdollahiyan.

Ayatollah Al-Hashemi, Imam of the Tabriz Mosque.

Governor of East Azerbaijan Province, Malik Rahmati.

(East Azerbaijan Province is inside of Iran and not of Azerbaijan itself.)

Heads up if you still have an account on the hell site!

There is a hack going around that allows the hacker to DM people on your follow list there.

The link in the DM goes to a fake Instagram site which appears to drop very bad things on your system/phone.

Seen it 3 times now in the wild (twice DM'd to me). First 2 were pro-Israel accounts. The 3rd was a pro-Ukraine account.

If you haven't already, lock your account (dunno how much this helps or if at all, but its never a bad idea).

Turkey has launched a recon drone to aid in the search.

Russia is sending two plane loads of mountain search and rescue teams and several helicopters.

10hrs since the crash was first reported.

Iranian search and rescue saying at least another 3hrs to reach the crash site.

=

I'm not certain they even know where the crash site is yet.

I am certain that it's very unlikely that there are any survivors.

Also still not seeing any word about the other two Bell 212 choppers that were supposedly part of that flight.

There are reports of fireworks in celebration in Tehran and other Iranian cities.

Those are unconfirmed (at least 1 video was dated several years ago).

There are also reports of IRGC teams flooding the streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities.

Those are confirmed.

...

Iranian television stops broadcasting and broadcasts the Holy Qur’an in preparation for an important announcement against the backdrop of the president’s plane accident.

Iranian news reporting (for the 3rd or 4th time) that the crash site has been located.

A quick word about the offices of the Iranian President and Foreign Minister...

Both positions are largely ceremonial, the real power comes from the Mullah's and IRGC and neither position makes a move or statement without the Mullah's say so. The missing Foreign Minister is an IRGC hardliner.

All members of the IRGC are hardliners. There were no "soft liner" SS in WW2.
