U.S. Fire Hellfire Missile Into Oil Tanker Engine Room To Stop Ship Heading For Iran
U.S. forces disabled a Botswana-flagged oil tanker (M/T Lexie) that was trying to run the American blockade and head toward Iran’s Kharg Island oil terminal. After the ship ignored repeated warnings for nearly 24 hours, a U.S. aircraft fired an AGM-114 Hellfire missile directly into the ship’s engine room, disabling it.
The tanker was unladen (empty) at the time. This is the sixth vessel the U.S. has disabled since the blockade began in mid-April.
(THINK ABOUT IT. THEY ARE PLAYING TIT FOR TAT WITH A NUCLEAR ARMED NATION)

The “right to repair” is still being choked out
An image did not post on 4UM. Go to the site.
Big tech just lobbied hard against a new state-level bill that would have finally let us fix our own hardware. It’s infuriating, they want us to just toss our $1,000 devices the second a battery dies or a screen cracks. They’re trying to own our stuff even after we’ve paid for it.
Data Center Tech Lobbyists Fearmonger in Attempt to Retroactively Roll Back Right to Repair Law
“Lobbyists for major tech firms like Cisco and IBM are trying to push through legislation in Colorado that would drastically roll back a groundbreaking right to repair law under the guise of protecting national security and data centers.
The legislation, which passed through a Colorado state senate committee on Thursday, would exempt hardware from the existing right to repair law if that hardware “is considered critical infrastructure.” One of the issues with this is that “critical infrastructure” is very broadly defined, and could include essentially anything. In practice, the law could essentially repeal huge parts of one of the most important right to repair laws in the United States.
“It relies on a broad, vague definition that allows the manufacturer themselves to self-designate whether their equipment is for critical infrastructure,” Louis Rossmann, a right to repair expert and popular YouTuber, testified at a hearing on the bill Thursday. “So if a laptop manufacturer knows the Pentagon buys their laptops, they can declare that line exempt. If a networking company sells a $20 switch to a federal building, they can claim that hardware is critical infrastructure. It’s a blank check for manufacturers to exempt themselves.””
