Missiles from rebel-held Yemen miss a ship loaded with jet fuel, is it me or are TPTB just going to wait till the Houthis are actually successful in attacking a ship?

Doesn't one blown-up ship spike oil prices? Is that the goal here, or does TPTB want the attack so they can justify going to war and ridding the Saudis of the thorn in their side?

Quote:DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Two missiles fired from territory held by Yemen’s Houthi rebels missed a commercial tanker loaded with Indian-manufactured jet fuel near the key Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Wednesday, a U.S. official said. It is the first time they target an energy shipment heading to the Suez Canal.

An American warship also shot down a suspected Houthi drone flying in its direction during the incident, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. No one was hurt in the attack, the official said.

The assault on the tanker Ardmore Encounter further escalates a campaign by the Iranian-backed rebels targeting ships close to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and also widens the international impact of the Israel-Hamas war raging in the Gaza Strip.

The Marshall Islands-flagged tanker was traveling north toward the Suez Canal in the Red Sea, satellite tracking data analyzed by The Associated Press showed. The vessel was on its way from Mangalore, India, and had an armed security crew aboard it, according to data transmitted by the ship. Those guards apparently opened fire to drive off skiffs loaded with men trying to board the vessel, the private intelligence firm Ambrey said.

Hello ladies & gentlemens


I got intel about this place ....   This is  best invention since sliced bread! 

The one moment that kicked me hard

Hey, crazy time with this next generation war going on and the information battlescape of public opinion. I like the name of the site. I did not sign up with rogue nation, but can see the importance of such things as the flack from ignorance can take its toll.

Pushing the boundaries against the official narrative can be a dangerous place to be, plenty of examples of what happens when one rocks the boat too hard. Doing nothing is also a risky place as those with an advantage exploit their position. It is a fine line knowing when to hold them, fold them, walk away or run.

Some good voices got silenced with Darko, some long overdue upgrades also happened. The politics of reality is a dark and ugly place at times. As freedom of speech is valued, it does give common sense a chance to find some way out of the mess and find a better way. To hit the ban button due to a different perspective just keeps us all in the dark. It is ok to not agree with another perspective, it opens up a blind side to not even know that perspective exists.

In going through the T&C's, 3 Data mining prohibition looks unrealistic as AI and bots are gaining capability to soak up as much data as they can. Having places like this just might help the algorithm find a clearer picture of reality from all the woke censorship going mainstream? As for personal member details, try and keep them protected. With the internet designed to communicate, don't expect it.

13. Self harm also raises some questions. As a mod I can see that is an easy one to delete, not my problem. As for providing some support when having too many red and black pills, there is some experience around here. Mental health is tricky, especially with some of the topics going around at times. Not a lot of professional psychological support services, some battle hardened veterans in dealing with the head bangers. I don't know, some comments to consider. The rest of the T&C looks good.

The ATS family offered a beacon of hope as it kept topics like 9/11 alive as so many websites caved to the political and economic pressures behind the scenes. Plenty of arguments as families do, sure I will be disagreeing with someone soon.

Some things never change.  One of those things for me, and maybe for many of you, is the ability to make cure and/or clever avatars.
I'm all thumbs, or wrong left brain/right brain situated for artistic endeavor with size limits.  

Therefore, I am here to start a thread where the art-challenged can get a shiny new avatar....
And make the first request.

Can someone here please size this Christmas avatar for me:

Hello all!
Despite my username, I am staring down the barrel of birthday #60 (I was a still youthful 39 yrs old when I joined ATS - it's been a rough 10 years!)

I do a lot more reading than posting these days, and have a deep appreciation for a great many longtime members of ATS, many of whom seem not to be around there much anymore...

I joined Rogue Nation during one of the ATS 'glitches', but I find it a bit overwhelming 'user-wise' so not sure how often I'll 'visit' here -

- But, I am grateful for the opportunity to join the "Deny Ignorance" forum and thank you to KKLOCO from ATS for the link over there, which brought me here.

So my whole outlook on aliens and what is going on has changed this year. I’ve always thought aliens were like Bigfoot and other fun but probably not real experiences. 

Peru has changed all that. 

There is a long history of alien history in Peru - hell it’s on half the Anchient Alien TV shows. 

For the past 50 years the Amazon basin has been experiencing wave after wave of what they called alien experiences. Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and to a lesser extent Columbia. 

Spring of this year starting early spring on the Western edge of Brazil bordering Peru attacks started happening.  They followed a C line mostly following a river. Starting in Brazil they went west into Peru, north towards Ecuador, then turning east followed the river back into Brazil. This occurred all the way into October.

They attacked remote villages one after another. All the villages describe the same experiences. Tall 7-9 foot individuals in black armor with elliptical helmets with yellow eyes, riding 1 meter radius floating disks. They said it was similar but different to green goblin armor from spider man. The black armored individuals always went in pairs. Sometimes multiple groups of pairs. They had boots with two round circles that slowed them to hover or jump very tall and far. These boots hooked into the disks. Sometimes they were seen in larger acorn shaped craft that could be see through. The boots, the disks, and the larger craft made very little noise,- described as air hissing or electrical humming but only barely audible under extreme acceleration. Otherwise completely silent.

In Late July early August a video went viral of one of the villages begging for help. Begging government to come intercede, navy, police, or even reporters with better cameras.

YouTube video

Responding to their call, a group of ufologists went down to give aid and see what was going on.  By the time the group arrived the aliens had moved further East into Brazil. But they took the testimony of the villagers including a young lady Talia who the black armored individuals had attacked. 

YouTube video of their report.

Talia said they were attempting to peel off her face. Many others have been abducted and their faces removed. The pelecaras or face peelers had been in the region doing this for about 50 years but no one believed the villagers. Sometimes they paralyze people with lights. Some of the people hit by the lights are paralyzed. A couple have died. 

The attacks moved village to village into Brazil after this. One of the locals on the border filed a video of one of them in a tree:

Twitter video thread link

Two downed ufos had been reported in the region during those last 50 years. One by an army sergeant who said they came upon a crashed ufo. And another where a ufo crashed and there was a fire fight between military and survivors. Brazil also had a famous crash and retrieval in Varginha which supposedly included a live aliens as well as waves of ufo of activity similar to what was reported this year with the black armored individuals. 

A lot to unpact. Centuries of UFO reports spanning multiple civiliazations in Peru. Ufo crashes and retrievals in the last century. And now these black armored individuals the locals call face peelers - pelecaras. 

I think this years reports are real. I think they are humans. I think they are using advanced technology, possibly reverse engineered. 




This is not the first year this has happened. It’s been going on for 50 years. They go in waves. The technology seems to be improving year over year. People are abducted and go missing. People are found dead. People are being rescued with their faces partially removed.

Man I hope a site I won’t mention doesn’t sink.

But I’m here with all you other old timers. 

How do I do a cheers? 

I looked to see if I could change the time zone in the edit options, and it says to choose from the zones listed below, but there were non listed. Am I being thick? Again?

Not sure if I'm welcome here but I'm from ATS, saw a link by KKLOCO in a thread and didn't want to be left behind.

I'm not much of a poster because I work 2 jobs, so will probablyonly pop in on an evening to catch up with everything going on in the world, but glad I saw the link. :-)

The Kansas City Demon if I heard about it I have since forgotten. What an eerie picture





https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Kansas_...nged_Demon

Quote:Kansas City Winged Demon

The Kansas City Demon has only been sighted a handful of times (roughly 4 times) in Kansas City, Missouri, but it has left a lasting mark on those who have seen it. One girl involved in the first sighting passed out upon escaping the creature.

The  Demon is described as the size of a man or taller, with a 12 foot wingspan. The wings are leathery like a bat's, and the face is that of an "ugly man". When on land, it moves in a "wobbly" way. It is apparently strong enough to shake a house.

A theory states that the Kansas City Winged Demon may be some sort of a large bird, a small pterosaur, a giant bat or a "winged goblin".

It’s always something you could hold on to. The fresh trees of love rising over time, time for songs, songs for this brave new land.

As she journeys in from her past the waves of the earth freshen her skin as a child, a child who always sings new tunes of rains. 

This world of madness is now gone and we will rise and sing our new song, a stronger love song that won’t resist the sky.

As the earth turns to face a new direction, her wings set her free to be able once again to ALWAYS hold on to the one she loves…

umman ummar qumar?

Beit Ummar?!

Meanwhile at Beit Ummar, near Hebron...



Is this peak clown world?

I got POCs being more Nazi than the supposed hiding behind every rock  huwhite supremacist...

Constantly.

South America it was mostly you, but now Hamas....

Who is also supported by the liberal hate their fathers gay leftoid types, which is hilariously ironic.

I live in this retarded timeline.

Republitards you get no pass it's just you cuck for Israel which is slightly less gay.

Excellent video both sides are represented by real persons, one thing they agreed on we are all being manipulated by our government and media. Well that and America stirs the pot quite a bit. 

New Hampshire Man Charged With Death Threat Against Vivek Ramaswamy. The world still needs some major help in our collective and individual mental health, but will never understand why people let any politician or public figure get under their skin. Its always been an issue, no doubt social media makes it worse. We have too much negative energy floating around for the unbalanced to plug into. 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrel...41fe2249ac

A New Hampshire man was charged with making an interstate threat after he allegedly replied to a text message by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy by threatening to kill the candidate at a time of heightened concern about political violence.

After receiving a Dec. 8 text message advertising a Monday campaign stop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 30-year-old Tyler Anderson allegedly texted in response: “Great, another opportunity for me to blow [Ramaswamy’s] brains out.”

Anderson also allegedly threatened in a second text message “to kill everyone who attends.”

In their criminal complaint, federal prosecutors didn’t name Ramaswamy, but the Republican’s campaign confirmed to CNN he was the subject of the threats, thanking law enforcement for their “swiftness and professionalism” in handling the case.

You sunzabishes finally placed enough peer pressure and here I am.

So this story was posted by me somewhere else, but I think it needs it's own thread since the situation is only beginning, and it looks to be much more involved than what it appears to be at this point.

Quote:Wild video captured the moment a Virginia home exploded Monday evening after a suspect inside the residence shot at authorities attempting to serve a search warrant, according to police and witnesses.
 
The massive explosion in Arlington sent debris and flames bursting toward the sky around 8:20 p.m., and could be heard and felt from miles away.
 
“Holy f—king sh-t,” a person exclaimed as car alarms blared.
 
Arlington County police said the officers were trying to execute a search warrant when a suspect fired several rounds from inside the now-leveled home.

Quote:Police previously said they were investigating after someone fired a flare gun from the house.

Quote:The police standoff had been ongoing for at least a few hours.
 
Arlington County police spokesperson Ashley Savage said it’s unknown if the suspect was firing a flare gun or another weapon at police.

Quote:Police reported that 56-year-old James Yoo died in the explosion of a duplex located at 844 N. Burlington Street in the Bluemont neighborhood of Arlington County, Virginia.
 
Police added they're aware of "concerning" social media posts made by Yoo. 
 
*  *  *
 
On Monday night, a home spontaneously exploded in an Arlington, Virginia, neighborhood. Police were initially called to the home after neighbors reported someone firing a flare gun.
 
Video journalist Nick Sortor posted on X a breakdown of what happened yesterday evening on the 800 block of North Burlington Street:
 
Around 4:45 pm Tuesday, Arlington County, VA police were called out to a report of "possible shots fired."
 
Once officers got to the scene, they became aware that a man inside the home had fired a flare gun out the window 30 to 40 times
 
The owner of the home, James Yoo, then barricaded himself inside and refused to make contact with police.
 
As a result, they obtained a search warrant, and while attempting to execute it, the suspect fired multiple shots at the officers from inside the home.
 
Then, at 8:45 pm, an explosion occurred, leveling the entire property.
 
A video posted to X shows when the house exploded into a massive fireball.

Quote:Arlington County police spokesperson Ashley Savage told NBC News that officials have yet to confirm if there were any deaths. She said the suspect was 'inside' the home during the explosion.
 
Sortor revealed additional alleged information on Yoo:
 
He's a far leftist that posts anti-white hatred and quotes Noam Chomsky
 
He accused his neighbors of being spies on social media just three days ago
 
He had a previous encounter with the FBI
 
He filed countless frivolous lawsuits against his own sister and wife
 
He was the former Head of Global Security at the US government's "Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)"

Quote:Purchasing and owning a flare gun in Virginia is legal. It’s called a visual distress signal under law. There is a no waiting period and flare guns are typically used by boaters to produce a distress signal. Flare guns can be used to set off flammable material too.
 
There are kits where you can modify a flare gun into a weapon that shoots 12-gauge bullets.
 
The ATF considers those flare guns to be weapons.

Quote:On a YouTube channel, Yoo posted several videos that show screenshot after screenshot of legal documents related to his unsuccessful lawsuits and protracted divorce. In LinkedIn posts, Yoo accused the U.S. government of corruption and uploaded photos of a couple he said were his next-door neighbors in Arlington.

Quote:The F.B.I. did not open any investigations based on correspondence from Mr. Yoo, Mr. Sundberg said.
 
Chief Andy Penn of the Arlington County Police Department declined to say at a news conference on Tuesday that the authorities were “fully confident” that the remains that were found were those of Mr. Yoo.
 
“All factors point to that it is this individual,” he said, “but that has to be confirmed, and it is going to take time to confirm that as well, but there is a lot more of the investigation that needs to occur.”

Quote:Initially, the police were called out to the house because they had received a call about possible gunfire in the area, Chief Penn said. After the police found that the occupant had fired a flare gun more than 30 times inside his home, Chief Penn said, the department obtained a search warrant and tried to make contact with him.
 
The occupant did not engage with officers and barricaded himself inside the home, according to the authorities. Chief Penn said that as the police were trying to serve the search warrant, several rounds of what was believed to be gunfire were heard inside the home, which prompted the police to deploy a “nonflammable, less-lethal chemical munition” inside the house that was intended to “cause irritation” so that the occupant would come outside.

Well...well...look at all the pretty faces...

Really looking forward to future of this site. Thx donttreadonme for the link. You're a star.

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm here.  I like the layout. Just feeling my way around.  I did encounter a couple of glitches. One thread wouldn't load, got an http error, and another one had the same error when I tried to go to the second page of a thread.  

I'm looking forward to seeing some interesting things here though! 

Well .. here I am.  I thought I'd give it a try.  I like the smilies better.  I don't understand the tech stuff so not sure about avatar and stuff.  Guess we'll see how I do.
