Hot spots where war may break out or escalate in 2025: Balochistan

Hot spots where war may break out or escalate in 2025
Balochistan – Iran and Pakistan
Balochistan is a little-known region spanning eastern Iran, western Pakistan, and southern Afghanistan. It is inhabited by the Baloch people, a unique nomadic ethno-linguistic group. Iran and Pakistan have struggled with insurgencies from the group for decades, embittered over a sense of disenfranchisement.

Remember when I posted about Epieos? I looked up a couple of email addresses besides my own. That was after I used InfoTracer (a data broker). It was only $2 to do a search. Be sure to cancel right afterward, or you’ll end up paying a monthly fee. I still need to opt out so they don’t sell my personal data.
Do they really think that I’m stupid, though? I do online research for a hobby. The Substack subscription came the day after my article was published on Antiwar.com. My blog gets spammed every week, sometimes twice a week. Every week, someone tries to shut my blog down with a denial-of-service attack. This, ever since I started researching “Project Myoushu,” last year. Of course, I’m going to be suspicious!
This particular scam may be unrelated, but I’ve been suspicious ever since they contacted me. I’ve only told them what I’ve said here, in personal posts that are now private. No, I didn’t fall for the bullshit about me being interesting (or being beautiful), and them wanting to be in a relationship, when they don’t even know me!
Their email doesn’t come up with anything, except for their Google Maps and Calendar, which are both empty. Their IP is located at Google. The Dalles Google Data Center in Oregon to be exact (per InfoTracer). Google is registered with MarkMonitor (a U.S. government contractor).

My internet is down, and I still can’t access my Google Documents. After resetting my network settings, once again, I found that it’s now Charter Communications (Spectrum) that is down. Depending on cloud storage for Google Documents, and a subscription business model (along with cloud storage) for Apple Music, made me think of this TED talk that I watched a few months ago.
No, I haven’t found any connection to the World Economic Forum, and I’m not going to waste any more time looking, as that’s not the point of this post. I do wonder how many people, who believe in the ‘Great Reset’, use either cloud storage or a subscription service. Just do a search for the World Economic Forum and cloud computing, or the World Economic Forum and subscription business model, and you’ll see that they mention them, often.
Anyway, I need to stop dilly-dallying around, online, and set up my laptop. That and install my new modem and wireless mesh network. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while now. First, I need some sleep.

It’s not about antisemitism or terrorism. Israel is losing the information war. It’s why they want to ban TikTok, as well.
