Khameini Preparing To Flee To Russia? January 4, 2026

Locator49794IRAN.

This, of course, would be too good to be true, but my hunch: Trump and his advisors are watching this very, very closely. What would it take to overthrow Khamenei? I think daily flights of a mixture of B-52s, B-2s, and the B-1Bs dropping leaflets day in and day out would be enough to do the trick with a little bit of help on the ground from Mossad. 

Yesterday I posted this:

Iran's Khomeini: looking on with interest. 

  • getting out the scrapbook; reviewing how the Shah was ousted/overthrown;
  • measuring drapes for new Moscow apartment;
  • will get credit check / reference from Bashar al-Assad who recently moved to one-room apartment in Moscow;
    • not known if apartment included a landlord-provided refrigerator.

How Many Edible Fruits Are There On Earth? 

There isn't a single exact number, but estimates suggest thousands of edible fruit species exist, with some sources claiming over 20,000 edible plant species in total, though humans commonly consume only about 200 plant types, with a few dozen dominating the market. 

While common grocery stores offer a small selection, the world holds a vast, largely untapped variety of fruits, with even single types like apples having thousands of cultivated varieties.
