New images have for the first time confirmed that the Chinese SH16 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzer is undergoing field trials.
Images released on Chinese social media showing an unknown howitzer were widely reported to be the next generation system, which is expected to enter service before 2027, and may be formally unveiled at the People’s Liberation Army’s upcoming landmark military parade on September 3, 2025.
The system is expected to introduce a number of revolutionary new features, one of which is a modular unmanned turret that reduces crew requirements to just two personnel — one driver and one gunner/commander.
The vehicles are expected to combine high levels of automation with a focus on rapid redeployment capabilities and rapid sustained firing rates.
The SH16’s is a comprehensive system that incorporates a turret with subsystems for firepower, information and control, while maintaining a turret weight of under 14 tons improve mobility.
With a barrel length that is 52 times its 155mm caliber, the howitzer’s range and accuracy are expected to be exceptional.
It’s worse than even politicization of intelligence. It was manufactured intelligence that sought to undermine President Trump’s presidency and subvert the will of the American people. Next week we will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place — DNI Tulsi Gabbard
Don’t miss this one. It’s a good general overview suitable for sharing with people who were fooled by the treasonous conspirators. My understanding is the conspiracy has continued down to this day and includes stealing the 2020 election and we will see that coming out as well. ABN
Ratcliffe is part of the IC apparatus that structurally retains the guardrails allowing the IC to exist as the strongest, non statutory, part of our government.
Ratcliffe like Devin Nunes believes in the system. They see the world threat through the prism of the IC system that tells them where, when and why to be fearful. They are not bad men, they just believe the worldview presented because it has always been thus.
But now is not then. Our ‘this’ is no longer ‘thus’. Now we have President Trump, the embodiment of kryptonite to the superstate.
Now it the era when great boldness is needed. Brutal honesty is required. A combination of humility and arrogance is needed. Totally different skillsets.
Ratcliffe (Boomer) believes in the system, but he is simultaneously open to allowing Tulsi (GenX) to do her thing and show him the dangers he doesn’t see.
EXAMPLE: Tulsi took the national intelligence council (NIC) out of the CIA. Tulsi could not do that without Ratcliffe agreement. Now, Ratcliffe is watching her work, seeing what it brings to the surface, seeing a DNI -funnily an office he held- through an entirely new prism.
Ratcliffe operated the DNI in the same way that all prior DNI’s operated it. Tulsi is operating the DNI in a completely different way. I have written about the possibilities of the DNI office, the unknown power when the office was created.
Now I am watching Tulsi Gabbard test my theories in real time, and it is beyond cool.
Again, this response may not make sense to most. You really have to spend too much time understanding the IC system and the silos they operate to ‘get it.’
Ratcliffe did what he thought was possible within the confines of the DNI position. Tulsi is changing the definition of the DNI position, expanding the wings of power it holds, and doing what is possible.
This expanded power was legislatively authorized in the Patriot Act and subsequent creation of the DNI. Her use of it is why the SSCI now want to change the legislation that created the DNI.
Pope Leo XIV has officially declared his first miracle as pontiff, crediting the 2007 recovery of a dying newborn in Rhode Island to divine intervention following a physician’s desperate prayer.
The Vatican announced last month that the ailing child, Tyquan Hall, who was born prematurely via emergency cesarean section and left with no detectable pulse, made a full recovery after a doctor invoked the name of a long-forgotten 19th-century Spanish priest.
The declaration elevates not just a miraculous story of life snatched from the jaws of death but also the potential sainthood of the humble cleric whose name was called in a moment of need.
‘We are thrilled that this recognition will move the cause of beatification and canonization forward for Venerable Servant of God Salvador Valera Parra,’ said Rev. Timothy Reilly of the Diocese of Providence, calling the papal pronouncement a blessing for Rhode Island and beyond.
The miracle marks the first to be authenticated under Pope Leo XIV, the newly elected American pontiff, and it may set in motion the canonization of Father Valera Parra, a priest who died in Spain in 1889 and had no known miracles to his name, until now.
I am filing this under ‘Buddhism’ as well as ‘religion’ because many Buddhists, including me, also believe in miracles and paranormal phenomena.
All words, concepts and religions have overlapping meanings and describe overlapping realities.
Buddhism, as I understand it, is very open to this side of human thought and existence.
Philosophically, the Buddhist term emptiness does not at all mean ‘nothingness’ or ‘you don’t exist’.
It means all sensory and mental data is transient, like lightning, like dew, and may be wondered over, admired, even sought, but is not nailable to any wall of definite meaning. ABN
Many of us knew about everything she said long ago, some of it almost at the time it happened (or before in many cases, because it was obvious a special prosecutor would be the best way to derail Trump, for example).
The question now is will Bondi do her job.
I am seeing a general consensus among conspiracy theorists that Bondi probably will not do much if anything. I’d rather not predict.
This could become the most significant court case in US history. The crime is treason.
Though many of us have known about this for a long time, there are still many tens of millions of Americans who believed the other side.
The effect of this material on them will be the most important outcome of whatever happens going forward.
Whether perps are convicted of treason or their crimes are merely made public for all to see, and cannot be denied, USA will never be the same again in a good way.
These crimes against Trump and USA reveal the true, raw nature of American political power.
And that brings us very close to discovering who is really in control of USA. ABN
The bombing of the Church of the Holy Family—the only Catholic parish in Gaza—is yet another brazen and murderous attack by Israel in violation of international law. Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pizzaballa himself has questioned the sincerity of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s words, who attributes the attack to an error, since there are no targets in the immediate vicinity of the church.
Leo deplores the victims of the attack in Gaza, but does not mention its perpetrators.
Netanyahu, responsible for the attack, thanks Leo and reiterates that Israel protects the safety of civilians and holy sites. Meanwhile, with absolute impunity, Israel strikes the defenseless civilian population of Gaza with Western weapons and attacks Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.
Numerous members of the Israeli government support the Zionist project of “Greater Israel” because, since the end of the 19th century, the Messiah awaited by the Jews has been the Jewish State. This ideology (a true “heresy” of Judaism) considers Jews to be a superior race by divine decree, and on the basis of this self-proclaimed superiority—and the inferiority of the goyim that it implies—Israel considers itself justified in violating every moral principle and demands to enjoy absolute impunity.
No president or prime minister of Tel Aviv’s vassal nations—first and foremost the United States of America—will ever dare to speak out, as they are most likely being blackmailed by Mossad and its emissaries.
If this were the Russian Federation, what would be the reaction of the international community?
How many more deaths and injuries will we have to witness before the United States of America and the entire West wake up from this subservience to a state that replicates with greater ferocity (after having been a victim of it) the horrors of National Socialist totalitarianism?
I have posted laudatory photos of individuals in the past, only to regret their performance years later, AC Barrett being a conspicuous example. Nonetheless, praise is good if it inspires Gabbard or anyone else to stand up for truth, justice and the American Way. ABN
This may be why they were trying to get rid of Gabbard a few weeks ago.
This may be coming out now because it will bury the Epstein story.
It also may be that Epstein is connected to the treasonous conspiracy Gabbard is revealing, or his story can be woven into it to display even worse government and elite malfeasance.
If something like that is in the offing, we may see a massive sea change in how the public views government and the criminal gangs which have infested it.
Gabbard is publicly confirming what conspiracy theorists have been saying all along.
She is also stamping this information with the imprimatur of the DNI, no small matter.
Can Bondi handle this? Will she bury it or has this been a part of the administration’s legal plans all along?
Has Trump been ‘mishandling’ the Epstein story as a way of bringing it front and center to the public’s attention?
That would be a classic Trump move. He would do that. He enjoys being unpopular and then pulling an ace out of his sleeve. ABN
