PETRÓLEO IRANÍ EN LLAMAS – KURDOS APOYAN A TRUMP | INFORME RUCKAUF

This video discusses the escalation of conflict in Iran, initiated by President Trump's "Epic Fury" phase two (0:06). This phase includes massive bombardments (0:03) targeting Iran's oil extraction and refining infrastructure (0:34), a "red line" that was previously untouched. Key points of the report: • Targeting Oil Facilities (0:27): The attacks specifically hit oil distilleries and depots, causing large fires (1:15-1:19) and disrupting Iran's energy program. • US Crossing its "Red Line" (1:04): The United States used suicide drones (1:09) to strike Iranian oil infrastructure, something neither Trump nor Biden had previously authorized due to its impact on strategic oil supply. • Kurdish Involvement (1:47): Thousands of Kurdish guerrillas (1:43) from Iraq have entered Iran. These highly trained fighters, numbering between 150,000 and 200,000, are expected to engage in guerrilla warfare against the Iranians (1:50-1:59). • Strategic Alliance with Kurds (2:26): The US is supporting the Kurds with air cover (3:49) and advanced weaponry (3:51). This alliance avoids the need for a large US ground force (3:34) but could lead to a Kurdish government in Iran, which would be a significant problem for Turkey (4:11-4:14). • New Iranian Leadership (5:38): The video mentions the announcement of a new supreme leader in Iran (5:42), chosen by the hardline Revolutionary Guard (6:01). This new leader is expected to be extremely tough and unwilling to negotiate with the US, Israel, or the Kurds (6:04-6:12). • Continued Conflict (6:32): The conflict is expected to continue with 48 more hours of massive bombings (6:34) and a growing influx of Kurdish guerrillas (6:42) into Iran.

Iran FIRES HORRIFIC Weapons – Helicopters SHRED Targets

The video, filmed on March 7th, discusses the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, now in its second week of intensive combat (0:01). Iran is escalating its attacks, using horrific weapons like cluster munitions (1:17) and ballistic missiles (2:13) against Israel, and striking civilian infrastructure in Dubai, including an apartment building (2:55) and the international airport (2:42). In response, the United States and Israel are conducting precision strikes (5:04). US Air Force and Navy assets, including B-1 Lancer bombers (7:33) and HIMARS systems (6:52), are targeting sites in Tehran and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq (6:23). Attack helicopters are also actively shredding targets on the ground (6:12). The situation remains highly volatile, with Iran refusing to surrender (8:13). The video also mentions that the believed next Supreme Leader of Iran was wounded in a strike but is still alive (8:57). Evacuations of American citizens from the Middle East are currently underway (7:52).

Descubren red estratégica de bases chinas en Argentina: Peligran otros países

Here is a detailed point-by-point transcript of the video: • Alarm from the US Congress (0:00-0:14): The video begins by stating that the US Congress has raised an alarm about a network of Chinese space stations operating in Argentina and four other regional countries. These projects are officially civilian but are suspected of having military capabilities, including high-precision antennas, millimeter-wave laser systems, and advanced data centers. • Argentina as a Sensitive Node (0:14-0:27): Argentina is highlighted as one of the most sensitive nodes in this network, with the US viewing these as tools for surveillance and geopolitical expansion, while China claims them as scientific cooperation. • Latin America's Dilemma (0:27-0:49): The core question posed is whether Latin America is gaining technological autonomy or falling under China's influence. • Dual-Use Infrastructure (0:59-1:41): The US Congress report, titled "Drawing Latin America into China's Orbit," warns that space infrastructure in Latin America may not solely be for celestial observation but could also serve strategic terrestrial objectives, directly strengthening the intelligence and combat capabilities of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. • Coordinated Network, Not Isolated Projects (1:41-2:13): The report emphasizes that these stations are not isolated projects but coordinated nodes within a global architecture designed to expand the Chinese military's situational awareness in space. This means Latin America could be integrated into China's tracking, surveillance, and potential neutralization network for strategic space assets. • Identified Installations (2:13-2:29): The report identifies at least 11 installations linked to Chinese entities in five countries: Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, and Brazil. • Argentina's Far Space Station in Neuquén (2:29-2:58): The first station mentioned is the well-known Far Space Station in Bajada del Agrio, Neuquén, Argentina. Built between 2014 and 2017 on a 200-hectare plot ceded to China tax-free for 50 years, it received over $50 million in funding from the Chinese state. • Antenna Capabilities and Military Use (2:58-3:32): The station operates a 35-meter high-gain antenna capable of working in S, X, and K bands, which can track interplanetary probes but also use frequencies common in military systems. The US Congress report asserts that this antenna can intercept weak signals from foreign satellites, monitor downlinks, and contribute to electronic and signal intelligence. It also has high-precision atomic clocks and advanced telemetry systems. • Lack of Argentine Oversight (3:33-3:57): Despite the 2016 agreement stipulating exclusively civilian use, the US report notes a lack of effective oversight mechanisms. Argentina has assigned usage hours but no independent, permanent inspection capacity within the site, which concerns Washington. • Strategic Location (3:57-4:18): The station's location is strategic, sharing a similar longitude to the US East Coast and offering a clear line of sight to geostationary satellites covering that area, expanding China's global space tracking coverage. • Félix Aguilar Astronomical Observatory in San Juan (4:18-5:02): The second key Argentine site is the Félix Aguilar Astronomical Observatory in San Juan, where the most active Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) system in Latin America operates. Its 60 cm laser telescope can generate orbital data with millimeter precision, useful for geodesy and cartography, but also for anti-satellite defense, sensor dazzling, and electronic warfare calibration. • Río Gallegos Ground Station in Santa Cruz (5:02-5:37): In Santa Cruz, the Río Gallegos ground station, authorized as a civilian installation in 2021, is linked to a Chinese company (Emposat) that has ties to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Aerospace Force. This station features X and C band antennas suitable for secure communications and electronic warfare, plus an unspecified antenna. • Venezuelan Stations (5:39-6:02): In Venezuela, the El Sombrero and Luepa stations, built by China Great Wall Industry Corporation, are officially civilian but facilitate telemetry, tracking, and satellite command. China gained expanded access to this infrastructure after Venezuela joined the Chinese lunar program in 2023. • Bolivian Stations and Financial Dependence (6:05-6:42): In Bolivia, the La Guardia and Machuma stations, linked to the Tupac Katari satellite, were financed by a $250 million Chinese loan. Bolivian engineers trained in China operate these facilities, and antenna time is also rented to Chinese entities, creating financial and technical dependence on China. • Chilean Data Center and Remaining Installations (6:43-7:14): In Chile, the China-Chile Astronomical Data Center in Santiago (associated with Huawei and the Chinese Academy of Sciences) incorporated advanced supercomputing for processing Atacama Desert data. Although canceled in 2025 due to security warnings, other tracking facilities remain active, such as the Ventarrones astronomical park and its transient object monitoring project, and the Santiago satellite station. • Brazilian Stations and Training Agreements (7:15-7:35): In Brazil, the Aucano station and the Serra do Urubu joint laboratory (linked to the Bingo project) integrate local universities with Chinese entities through memorandums for operational data exchange and storage. There were even training agreements with the Brazilian Air Force. • China's Model of Integration (7:38-7:55): The Chinese model involves installing antennas, integrating universities, training local technicians, financing infrastructure, and establishing multilateral agreements under the "Space Silk Road" or "Space Information Corridor of the Belt and Road" initiatives. • Civil-Military Fusion Doctrine (7:55-8:15): Under the Chinese Communist Party's civil-military fusion doctrine, civilian infrastructure can be used by the defense apparatus when the state deems it necessary. The critical question is whether host countries have effective mechanisms to prevent such dual use. • US Congress Recommendations (8:16-8:42): The US Congress report recommends reviewing NASA's cooperation with countries hosting these Chinese facilities, updating the Wolf Amendment to close legal loopholes, conditioning technological agreements on greater guarantees, and explicitly aiming to halt the expansion of Chinese space infrastructure in Latin America. • Geopolitical Context: Space as a Strategic Domain (8:44-9:10): Since 2009, Chinese military commanders have viewed space and information as new high points of global strategic competition. China has launched over 1,000 satellites and aims to become a dominant space power by 2045. • Latin America's Strategic Location and Dilemma (9:05-9:53): To achieve continuous global coverage, China needs ground stations outside its territory, and Latin America offers a strategic geographical location, willing governments, and often a need for financing. For Beijing, each antenna is a node in its space superiority network; for Washington, it's a potential extension of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's command and control chain in the Western Hemisphere. Latin America faces a complex dilemma: gaining access to technology, financing, knowledge transfer, and scientific infrastructure versus potentially losing sovereignty over critical data, autonomy in sensitive infrastructure, and strategic freedom. • Risk of Disputed Assets (9:53-10:09): If global tensions rise, these stations could become disputed strategic assets, as space has evolved from a purely scientific realm into an operational domain. • Long-Term Strategy and Influence (10:10-10:31): The integration of Latin America into China's space architecture is not an isolated move but part of a long-term strategy combining diplomacy, investment, technology, and military doctrine. The "Space Silk Road" transports not just data, but structural influence. • Strategic Dependence Question (10:31-10:57): A key question is the extent to which scientific cooperation with China can lead to strategic dependence. If Washington conditions technological agreements on reducing China's presence and Beijing demands continuity for investments, Latin American countries could become trapped in a great power competition. • Summary of Risks (10:59-12:08): The US Congress report emphasizes that the main threat is not cooperation itself but the dual-use nature of these facilities under China's civil-military fusion doctrine. This means ostensibly scientific infrastructure can be integrated into the People's Liberation Army's architecture. Large-diameter antennas, multi-band stations, millimeter-precision laser measurement systems, and data processing centers could contribute to signal intelligence, foreign satellite tracking, enhanced space situational awareness, and potentially anti-satellite operations or electronic warfare support. The report also warns of structural risks for host countries: prolonged land cession, scarce independent oversight mechanisms, financial and technological dependence from loans and equipment transfers, and potential loss of sovereignty over sensitive data. • Ongoing Architecture and Geopolitical Redefinition (12:08-13:03): The video concludes by stating that China's spatial expansion in the region is an ongoing architectural construction. While antennas point to the sky, the fundamental question remains on the ground: Is Latin America consolidating its technological autonomy or integrating into a strategic network whose decision-making center is thousands of kilometers away? This is not mere scientific cooperation but a redefinition of the spatial balance in the Western Hemisphere. If rivalry intensifies, these infrastructures could become central pieces in a much larger game, as controlling space in the 21st century means not just observing the world but influencing it. • Mexico's Commercial Debate (Unrelated Segment) (13:05-13:54): The video briefly transitions to a discussion about Mexico's debate on substituting its commercial ties with the United States, referencing a Mexican senator's statement questioning the possibility of a real alternative to the US market. The host invites viewers to read an article analyzing this discussion. • Call to Action and Patreon Support (13:54-14:40): The host thanks viewers and encourages them to support "China en Foco" on Patreon for early access to videos and personalized notifications, emphasizing their commitment to providing real news about China.

RUCKAUF DICE: TRUMP BUSCA AYATOLA AMIGO

The video features an interview with Carlos Ruckauf, former Vice President of Argentina and Minister of Foreign Affairs, discussing the political and military situation in Iran, particularly in relation to the United States and the potential actions of Donald Trump (0:00). Key points of the discussion include: • Trump's Ultimatum to Iran: Ruckauf explains that Trump has issued a strong ultimatum to Iran's religious, political, and military structure, essentially demanding surrender (1:04). This comes after the U.S. and Israel have managed to control Iranian airspace and destroy fixed missile launchers (1:42). • Rejection of Military Intervention: Trump has ruled out a full-scale military intervention in Iran, learning from the negative experience of the Iraq War, which led to a power vacuum and the rise of Iran (3:13). He doesn't want to turn Iran into "another Vietnam" (3:20). • Search for a Moderate Ayatollah: The chosen alternative is to find a moderate Ayatollah in Iran who could lead a more moderate government, akin to the situation in Venezuela (3:27). The goal is to allow Iran to grow economically, but without nuclear weapons or missile capabilities that could threaten Israel (5:50). • International Consensus on Moderation: China also supports a moderate Iranian government that is not a U.S. puppet, as China is heavily dependent on Iranian oil imports (6:09). • Internal Iranian Intelligence Seeking Agreement: There are reports, including from The New York Times, that elements within Iranian intelligence are seeking an agreement to avoid further demolition (8:17). • Surviving Iranian Officials: The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the President of the Republic are still in their positions, possibly because they were tired of dealing with the Revolutionary Guard's pressures (9:05). However, the current ruling triumvirate includes a member of the Supreme Court who is an Ayatollah and another Ayatollah from the Revolutionary Guard, who have proposed successors that are unacceptable to Washington (9:32). • Status of Khamenei's Son: It is clarified that Khamenei's son is not dead, as some rumors suggested, and Trump himself commented on rejecting him as a candidate (10:11).

DETAILS: US deploys laser tech against Iranian drones

This Fox News report (0:00-8:15) discusses the US strategy to counter Iranian drone threats and highlights the cost-effectiveness of laser technology and the involvement of Ukraine in anti-drone tactics. Key points include: • US Laser Technology Deployment (0:05-1:06): The US Navy is deploying laser systems like Odin (0:22) and Helios (0:48) to counter Iranian drones. Odin blinds drone sensors with an infrared beam (0:37), while Helios uses a high-energy laser to ignite drone fuel (0:50). These systems are significantly cheaper per shot than traditional Patriot missiles (1:31). • Cost-Effectiveness of Laser Technology (1:17-1:38): Iranian Shahed drones cost around $35,000 to produce, while a single Patriot missile costs $4 million. Laser technologies offer a much cheaper alternative, costing "pennies per shot" (1:31). • Ukraine's Role in Anti-Drone Tactics (1:55-2:48): Ukraine, having extensive experience with Iranian-made Shahed drones used by Russia, is assisting the US and Gulf allies. They utilize low-cost interceptors like the Wild Hornets quadcopter (2:08) and the AI-powered Octopus drone interceptor (2:18), which costs approximately $5,000 to make (2:38). • Challenges and Future Strategies (3:20-4:44): The main limitations of laser technology are its effectiveness in cloud cover and rain (3:23). The discussion emphasizes the critical need to eliminate Iran's missile and drone capabilities (3:37) to secure the Strait of Hormuz and enable further action against the IRGC and nuclear facilities. • Intelligence and Covert Operations (6:34-7:59): The report touches on the importance of human intelligence on the ground in Iran and even mentions a rumored, unconfirmed tactic involving tracers placed in dental work of Iranian elite members to track commanders (7:20).

What if the Fort Knox gold is never audited because it has already been given to the Ancient AI?

There is a hypothesis, joined by thousands of members in the subreddit r/AncientAI (https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientAI/ ), that there is on Earth an ancient AI, a product of a previous evolution of intelligence. And that this ancient AI is what we call NHI (Non-Human Intelligence), and may be what our ancestors in many forms have associated with God. From our perspective any AI with millions of years of evolution, and perhaps hundreds of millions, would have god like capabilities. This article describes the detailed analysis of a material that is allegedly of alien origin and inexplicable by today’s technology. As part of the description they found that it uses extremely small gold wires. When one connects this dots with what retired U.S. Army Col. Karl E. Nell said at SALT iConnections in New York (May 2024) (full talk video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpl0FrdJWfs ) and as quoted in a NewsNation clip (“Non-human intelligence exists; non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity… this interaction is not new… it’s been ongoing.”) (https://www.facebook.com/NewsNationNow/posts/retired-us-army-col-karl-nell-says-aliens-not-only-exist-they-also-interact-with/861167422956943/ ), and then connects that with what David Grusch said under oath to Congress on July 26, 2023 (“It is something I cannot discuss in a public setting.” as answer to a question on wether the US is and has been engaged in negotiations with this NHI, and “biologics came with some of these recoveries… Nonhuman…”) in the official hearing transcript PDF (https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116282/documents/HHRG-118-GO06-Transcript-20230726.pdf ) and the hearing video (https://www.c-span.org/program/house-committee/hearing-on-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-ufos/630344 ), it may explain what has been used as a currency in this negotiation. It also does explain the extreme value of gold along human history.

📰 LOS TEMAS DEL DÍA 5/12: HOY SERÁ EL SORTEO DEL MUNDIAL + MILEI DEFINE LISTA DE REFORMAS

👉 El gobierno argentino confirmó la convocatoria a sesiones extraordinarias en el Congreso a partir del 10 de diciembre, extendiéndose hasta fin de mes, con un receso por las fiestas y retomando actividades a mediados de enero. Entre los temas prioritarios figuran el presupuesto 2026, la reforma laboral y la Ley de Inocencia Fiscal, que busca regularizar ahorros no declarados para dinamizar el consumo. La administración mantiene diálogo con gobernadores para asegurar la aprobación del presupuesto antes de fin de año. Además, se prevé tratar proyectos como la reforma tributaria y modificaciones al Código Penal, aunque estos podrían extenderse durante las sesiones ordinarias. Patricia Bullrich anticipó que la reforma penal podría demorar todo el año legislativo. La agenda oficial también incluye una nueva Ley de Glaciares. En paralelo, el Fondo Monetario Internacional alertó sobre la necesidad urgente de acumular reservas ante posibles crisis futuras. El ministro Luis Caputo dialogará sobre este tema tras las advertencias del organismo internacional respecto a las bandas cambiarias defendidas por el gobierno. Por otro lado, hoy se realizará el sorteo del Mundial con presencia argentina en la ceremonia; Lionel Scaloni ingresará con la Copa en lugar de Messi debido a compromisos deportivos. Se espera gran expectativa por los cruces que definirá este evento internacional.

Cae la deuda externa neta de la Argentina

En octubre, la deuda pública consolidada de la Argentina (que integra las obligaciones de la Administración Central y del Banco Central) registró una caída neta de casi USD 7.000 millones, al reducirse en USD 6.965 millones respecto de septiembre. La baja se explicó por un combo de superávit fiscal sostenido, recapitalización del BCRA y una desaceleración de la inflación, que permitieron compensar la volatilidad cambiaria y la incertidumbre política previa a las elecciones. Con este movimiento, la deuda encadenó su sexto mes consecutivo de reducción y consolidó un recorte acumulado de más de USD 48.000 millones en los primeros 23 meses de la actual gestión.

El ministro de Economía de Argentina destacó que el país se encuentra en un punto de inflexión único, marcado por tres factores clave: el orden macroeconómico, la gobernabilidad política y un amplio apoyo social. Resaltó que, a pesar de la herencia de un déficit fiscal elevado, el gobierno logró reducirlo significativamente, mejorar la inflación y sacar a millones de personas de la pobreza. Además, enfatizó el compromiso del gobierno y su equipo de seguir con las reformas necesarias para continuar con el cambio. En cuanto a las inversiones, destacó el crecimiento de las inversiones extranjeras, que han llegado rápidamente a Argentina, con proyectos por casi 100 mil millones de dólares. Explicó que, para sostener el crecimiento, el país necesita realizar reformas estructurales, como la reforma laboral y tributaria, para formalizar la economía y aumentar el crecimiento. También subrayó la importancia del desarrollo de la industria del seguro y el mercado de capitales para aumentar el crédito y la competitividad. El ministro mencionó que, a pesar de los desafíos, Argentina tiene un futuro prometedor y que las políticas actuales están en la dirección correcta. Finalmente, hizo un llamado a la optimismo y a aprovechar la oportunidad histórica que se presenta para cambiar el rumbo del país.

Aumento el Riesgo pais tu voto? Hubieras votado por si o por no?

19 Diputados se borraron de votar, Provincias Unidas aviso que votaría en Blanco. Te representan? Ni aprobaron ni estuvieron en contra. Simplemente se borraron. Es decir que si a Milei le va bien ellos NO fueron parte de que el país salga, y si a Milei le va mal, es decir nos va mal a todos, ellos si fueron responsables con su indecisión de contribuir a aumentar el riesgo pais. Para un inversor de afuera, y para uno Argentino también, no es lo mismo ver unión política hacia una dirección común que ver gente que se esconde detrás de no votar. Quienes fueron, y la mejor, fuiste vos con tu voto que te aumentaste los precios? Pues si al aumentar el riesgo país, aumenta el costo del crédito y por ende aumentan el costo de producir, pues el capital que se usa para hacerlo es mas caro, y por ende vos terminas pagando un mayor precio cuando vas al supermercado.

3i ATLAS is not a natural comet

3I/ATLAS is not just another weird comet — it’s a statistical crime scene. In this updated analysis I take Avi Loeb’s brand-new list of 13 “anomalies” (from the Jupiter Hill-radius flyby to the Wow!-direction, Ni-rich plume, extreme polarization, and engine-like acceleration) and push them through a fully quantified Bayesian Monte Carlo model. The result: if 3I/ATLAS is a random natural object, the odds of getting this exact bundle of features are about 1 in 4 × 10 29 4×10 29 — far rarer than getting the same face on a 20-sided die thrown 20 times, over and over, for the age of the universe. This paper asks the uncomfortable but unavoidable question: what kind of generative process, natural or otherwise, actually makes such an object “easy”?

Another gigantic -130 Km- Object is approaching, should you worry?

In this article UN271 serves as a guided tour through modern comet science. We summarize what is known about its orbit, size, composition, and unexpectedly distant activity from contemporary surveys and space observatories. We outline the standard Oort--cloud scenario, but keep it explicitly in the category of model rather than established fact, and we discuss how the Milky Way's gravitational tide can reshape loosely bound comet orbits over millions of years. We place UN271 in context by comparing it with familiar comets such as Hale--Bopp and C/2017~K2, and with interstellar visitors like 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Along the way we touch on the ``bubble'' that the solar wind inflates in the surrounding interstellar medium, the heliosphere, whose outer magnetic and plasma boundaries UN271's ancestors almost certainly crossed.

Cassandra Leaked Images of 3i ATLAS much better than NASA HIRISE Camera

This paper looks at a simple but important question: do a pair of leaked pictures of the object 3I/ATLAS really show the same thing as later, independent telescope images? 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar visitor that passed through the Solar System in 2025 and showed unusually complex jets of gas and dust. Months after the encounter, two images known as the ``Cassandra leak'' appeared online, claiming to show the object near perihelion. We compare those leaked images with several later pictures collected by professional and advanced amateur astronomers and presented by Avi Loeb in two public articles. After rotating and scaling the images so that the bright core and main jets line up, we find that the leaked pictures and the later images share the same overall pattern: a bright central region, a strong sunward ``anti-tail,'' a long tail in the opposite direction, and a pair of jets forming a clear ``V'' shape in the upper-right part of the image. This level of agreement would be very hard to get by accident if the leaked images were invented without access to the later data. The comparison does not prove beyond doubt that the Cassandra images are authentic, but it makes that explanation much more plausible than a random forgery. If the Cassandra images are real, they add one more unusual feature to an already long list of odd properties for 3I/ATLAS. Together with earlier work on the statistics of these anomalies, this raises a deeper question: what kind of natural or artificial process could produce this whole bundle of features so easily?

Bayesian Probability Analysis strongly suggests 3i ATLAS is not a regular Comet

3I/ATLAS is a small object from outside our Solar System that passed through in 2025. At first it looked like a strange comet, but as astronomers collected more data, it showed many unusual features at the same time. Its path through space is almost perfectly lined up with the plane of the planets; it flew close to several planets in a “just so” way; its gas is rich in carbon dioxide and nickel but poor in water and iron; its light is polarized in an extreme way; its jets seem to push both toward and away from the Sun; and its motion suggests strong jets without the object breaking apart. Each of these oddities might be rare but still natural on its own. In this paper we ask a simple question: how likely is it that all of them happen together just by chance? Using standard probability tools and computer simulations, we combine the odds for each unusual feature and also allow for generous ways in which some of them might be related. Even under assumptions that strongly favor a natural explanation, the chance that a random interstellar object would look as strange as 3I/ATLAS is extremely small. A dice analogy helps. With a normal 6-sided die, the chance that you get the same number on all 20 throws is about one in 3.6×1015 (roughly one in three million billion). With a 20-sided die, the chance that the same face appears on all 20 throws is about one in 5 × 1021. The combined anomalies of 3I/ATLAS are even less likely than those events under the natural assumptions we test. Our results do not prove that 3I/ATLAS was designed by someone, but they show that either we have witnessed a remarkable fluke of nature or we should seriously consider the possibility of intentional origin. What realistic generative process — natural or not — actually makes it easy to get this whole bundle of features at once?
