Taiwan is planning new drills aimed at ensuring continued access to energy supplies during a potential PRC blockade, including scenarios involving the escort of LNG and oil shipments.
The exercises will focus on three corridors Taiwan hopes to maintain to counter a blockade from China, which would allow supplies and access from Japan, the Philippines, and the United States.
Our visualization shows Taiwan's energy import infrastructure, alongside recent PLA exercise zones.

“Eric, why dont you tell us a little about who was filming the video of the female s*x worker."
"I am being told there will be more disgusting stuff coming out on Swallwell in the next 24 hours."
"For the members of Congress who are concerned about optics on expelling Swalwell, I think after the information drops you will be thinking otherwise."
I can’t imagine what Eric Swalwell has done, just think this is just what has come to light, I am sure there is Much Much more!

BREAKING: Woman accuses Eric Swalwell of drugging her and r*ping her while his wife was pregnant.
"I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant," said Loanna Drewes.
"He r*ped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness and I thought I died. I did not consent to any s*xual activity."

Hezbollah's Unit 910: Real Threat, Documented Presence
Hezbollah's Unit 910 (also called the External Security Organization or Islamic Jihad Organization/"Shadow Unit"/"Black Unit") is Hezbollah's dedicated overseas covert operations arm. It handles intelligence collection, logistics, recruitment of sleepers, and planning for potential terrorist attacks abroad—explicitly including targets in the United States and against Israeli/Jewish interests. It has operated on U.S. soil for at least two decades, with an emphasis on long-term infiltration under civilian cover
U.S. law enforcement has publicly documented this for years:
Ali Kourani (naturalized U.S. citizen, arrested 2017, convicted 2019): Recruited by Unit 910, conducted pre-operational surveillance on NYC targets (including JFK Airport, law enforcement buildings) as a "sleeper" while living a normal life.
Samer el-Debek and Alexei (Ali) Saab (arrested ~2017/2019): Similar Unit 910-linked surveillance missions in the U.S. for potential future attacks.
These cases were known to the FBI, CIA, and DHS well before 2024—your point about awareness back to 2017 (and earlier) is accurate. Unit 910 operatives were trained in Lebanon, sent on missions to gather targeting data, and operated under strict compartmentalization ("the less you know, the better").
The 2024 "Activation" Claim and What Followed
Seruga's June 2024 post framed a new, methodical "invasion" via borders, followed by an imminent "activation" and "wave of attacks" in U.S. cities. This built on his earlier warnings (e.g., October 2023) citing experts like Todd Bensman on Hezbollah's embedded networks awaiting Iranian orders
Current Context (April 2026): Elevated Risks, Not Panic
Hezbollah/Iran proxy threats are not hypothetical—they are a longstanding national security concern:
Unit 910 and similar networks exist for retaliation if Iran or Hezbollah perceive direct U.S./Israeli strikes.
Amid the ongoing U.S.-Israel vs. Iran/Hezbollah escalations (strikes, proxy involvement in Lebanon and beyond), there have been fresh FBI alerts to law enforcement about potential sleeper cell activation, encrypted Iranian communications as "triggers," and even unverified drone threats (e.g., West Coast scenarios).
Bottom Line for the White House, DHS, and DOJ
You're right that this deserves sustained, high-level attention—not just rhetoric. Counterterrorism, intelligence sharing, border security, and disrupting financing/logistics networks are core missions for any administration. The incoming/current team (DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and acting AG Todd Blanche) has the mandate to prioritize it: ramp up deportations of threats, enhance domestic surveillance where legally justified, and coordinate with allies on Hezbollah/Iran financing. The threat didn't start in 2021 and didn't magically end in 2025—vigilance is permanent.
Seruga's warnings highlight real vulnerabilities, but dramatic "wave incoming" framing should be weighed against verified intel and outcomes. The FBI and DHS track these networks; the public should stay alert ("if you see something, say something") without unfounded panic. Hezbollah's strategy is patient and opportunistic—our response needs to be methodical and resourced accordingly.

Rakuten Wallet launched XRP support today (April 15, 2026) for spot trading and as a payment method in Rakuten Pay. This integrates XRP directly into one of Japan’s largest consumer ecosystems, giving ~44 million Rakuten Pay users seamless access.
Key Details of the Integration
What users can do:
Buy XRP directly with Rakuten Points (no fiat deposit needed).
Spot trade XRP in the Rakuten Pay app.
Hold XRP in Rakuten Wallet.
Convert XRP value into Rakuten Cash.
Spend via Rakuten Pay at over 5 million merchant locations across Japan.
Loyalty points tie-in: Rakuten’s program has over 3 trillion points in circulation (valued at roughly $23 billion). Users can convert these points straight into XRP.
Other tokens added alongside: XLM, DOGE, SHIB, and TON (all exchangeable with points).
This is purely user-driven — Rakuten Wallet is providing the on-ramps and liquidity for customers, not Rakuten Group itself buying or selling large quantities of XRP on the open market. Merchants ultimately receive fiat (or equivalent) when users spend, so XRP flows are converted behind the scenes.
How This Affects XRP Price
Short-term: Bullish sentiment boost. XRP jumped from around $1.32–$1.36 into the $1.36–$1.38 range on the announcement (with some reports noting it testing $1.40 resistance). Trading volume spiked initially but has since moderated.
Medium- to longer-term drivers:
Increased real-world utility and adoption in a trusted, mainstream Japanese ecosystem (e-commerce, payments, loyalty). This is one of the biggest retail on-ramps XRP has seen.
Potential buying pressure from point conversions — users swapping ~$23B in points for XRP creates demand (Rakuten Wallet or liquidity providers must source the XRP).
Higher transaction volume and liquidity if users actually spend XRP at merchants.
Ripple’s ecosystem growth manager called it “one of the most significant XRP milestones.”
Caveats (crypto is volatile):
Actual price impact depends on user adoption rates — not every one of the 44 million users will convert points or pay with XRP.
Broader market conditions, regulatory news, and macro factors will still dominate.
No guaranteed sustained pump; many listings create short-term hype that fades without follow-through usage.
How Much Will Rakuten Be “Selling With XRP”?
Rakuten itself isn’t “selling” XRP in the sense of dumping holdings or processing fixed volumes. Instead:
It’s facilitating user spending of XRP (or XRP-converted Rakuten Cash) at 5M+ merchants.
There are no official volume targets or forecasts from Rakuten or Ripple on how much XRP will actually flow through the system.
Potential scale (speculative):
Rakuten Pay and Card have enormous gross transaction value (GTV) — Rakuten Card alone hit ~26.5 trillion yen (~$175+ billion USD) in FY2025
Even tiny adoption (e.g., 1% of Rakuten’s annual payment volume routing through XRP) has been estimated by some analysts at hundreds of millions in XRP transaction demand (one rough figure cited ~$400 million).491dc2
The $23 billion in loyalty points represents a massive potential on-ramp, but conversion rates are unknown and will build gradually.
In short: This is a major utility win for XRP with real mainstream exposure in Japan, already lifting the price modestly today. Long-term price upside hinges on sustained user/merchant adoption rather than one-time hype. No concrete “how much” figures exist yet — watch on-chain volume, Rakuten’s future reports, and actual point-to-XRP conversion data over the coming weeks/months for clearer signals.

🔻 They took the bait.
A Chinese tanker — the Rich Starry — just sailed straight through the Strait of Hormuz. In broad daylight. While the entire U.S. Navy watched.
Beijing called the blockade "dangerous and irresponsible."
They think they won.
They didn't read the fine print.
Every vessel that defies the blockade is now tagged. Tracked. Logged. Satellite. Sonar. Signal intercept. The moment that tanker crossed the line, its entire financial chain — owner, insurer, port of origin, cargo manifest, receiving bank — entered a system that doesn't forget.
He didn't build a blockade to stop ships.
He built a blockade to identify who would defy it.
And now he knows.
While China played hero for Tehran — back home, their boy just fell.
Eric Swalwell. Democrat. House Intelligence Committee. The man who had a Chinese spy in his bed — literally. Fang Fang. Remember her?
Today a woman named Lonna Drewes stood in front of cameras and said he drugged her and raped her. Multiple accusers. He's resigning. The man who sat in the most classified room in America — compromised by Beijing, accused of assault — is done.
That's not a coincidence. That's a sequence.
China sends a tanker through the Strait. Their asset in Congress gets exposed the same week. The files that connect Swalwell to Beijing intelligence — those files exist in the same DOJ vault that just dropped 3 million Epstein pages.
You think the timing is random?
The Pope called for peace. Trump called him weak. Saudi Arabia begged him to lift the blockade. China sailed through it.
And he hasn't flinched.
Because this was never about Iran. Iran is the pressure plate. Step on it — and the system underneath records who you are, who funds you, and where your money sleeps.
Gold — $4,728. The old dollar system is hemorrhaging. Central banks aren't buying gold because they're scared. They're buying gold because they've seen the replacement.
Every tanker that crosses. Every congressman that falls. Every file that drops. Every ally that panics.
It's the same operation.
Blockade the ports. Expose the names. Crash the currency. Load the new system.
They thought he was bluffing. They sailed right into the trap.
THE BAIT WAS THE BLOCKADE. THE TRAP IS EVERYTHING ELSE.
