French navy intercepts suspected Russian ‘shadow fleet’ tanker in Mediterranean

The French navy has intercepted a Russian tanker in the Mediterranean suspected to be part of the “shadow fleet” that enables Russia to export oil despite sanctions.
“This morning, the French navy boarded and searched an oil tanker from Russia, subject to international sanctions and suspected of flying a false flag,” President Emmanuel Macron said on X.
“The operation was carried out on the high seas in the Mediterranean, with the support of several of our allies,” he added, saying the vessel had been “diverted”.
The tanker, Grinch, is the latest in a series of Russian-linked ships to be intercepted by the US and European powers in recent months. It was located between the southern coast of Spain and the northern coast of Morocco in the western Mediterranean and then diverted, the French maritime police said in a separate statement

Wake me up with it’s a G5.
A G5 storm means:
• Kp = 9 (maximum on the global geomagnetic scale)
• Major reconfiguration of Earth’s magnetosphere
• Strong geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in long conductors
Possible real-world effects:
• Power grid failures or transformer damage
• Satellite drag increases (orbit decay risk)
• GPS and radio navigation disruption
• HF radio blackouts at many latitudes
• Auroras visible near the equator
This is the level where infrastructure planning and emergency procedures matter.
The Carrington Event (September 1859)
• Strongest geomagnetic storm on record
• Auroras seen near the equator (Caribbean, Hawaii)
• Telegraph systems sparked, shocked operators, caught fire
• If this happened today, it would likely cause multi-trillion-dollar damage

Easy Explanation (middle-school level)
1. The Sun had a big explosion (an X-class flare) on January 18, 2026.
2. That sent out a huge blob of charged particles (a CME) headed toward Earth.
3. When the CME hit Earth’s magnetic field on Jan 19, it caused one of the strongest space storms in years — strong enough to:
• make the Northern Lights show up really far south,
• possibly interfere with some radio and GPS signals,
• and slightly increase radiation risk for satellites and high flights.
NOAA calls this a G4 geomagnetic storm and an S4 radiation storm — those are severe space weather categories.

If tweet fails to load, click here. ETA, DHS Statement:
quote:
At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.
In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.
The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.
As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.
Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.
All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.
The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody.
This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers.
Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.

Here’s what I just received.
quote:
SITREP: Iran
Here is what we know.
- President Trump said he was told Iranian forces claimed they were responding to armed individuals and that assurances have been given there will be no executions, adding he hopes that proves true. When asked whether military action is off the table, Trump said the U.S. is not ruling anything out, but will wait and monitor developments, citing what he described as a "very good statement" from people familiar with the situation.
- The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its Carrier Strike Group have been ordered by the Pentagon to deploy to the Middle East.
- European officials reportedly told Reuters they believe U.S. military action against Iran could occur within the next 24 hours, based on shared diplomatic and intelligence assessments among Western partners, though they are said to be confused by Trump's recent statements, which appear to signal hesitation.
- Iraqi outlet Al-Jeebal reports that residents in Basra, southern Iraq, near the Iranian border, heard and observed fighter jets overhead earlier tonight.
- Iran has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) shutting down its airspace to all commercial flights, with only international flights that have received prior approval from the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization permitted to operate.
- U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tankers (KC-135 / KC-46) have evacuated Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a move described as a precautionary evacuation and repositioning of high-value air assets out of potential Iranian retaliation range. The situation remains highly uncertain with posturing indicating strikes on Iran are imminent, however no official decision or execution has been confirmed.

This and the recent videos of the TR-3 Black Manta really validate the notion that global defense industry leaders have been back-engineering recovered alien crafts.
