🚨 AMERICA JUST BUILT THE WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL METAL... 3D PRINTER AND IT’S ABOUT TO MASS-PRODUCE ROCKETS AND MISSILES. Divergent Technologies has unveiled the Monolith One, a giant industrial metal printer standing over 8 meters tall and armed with 12 high-powered lasers delivering a combined 24 kilowatts of energy. Unlike typical 3D printers used for prototypes, this machine is built for serious, high-volume production. It can print large, complex aerospace and defense parts in aluminum, titanium, steel, and nickel alloys and it roughly doubles the output of current systems. Why this matters: • Divergent plans to install 64 more of these machines in a massive new 430,000 sq ft factory in Long Beach, California • Once running, the facility aims to produce tens of thousands of munition airframes per year plus hundreds of thousands of critical metal components • It slashes manufacturing time from months down to weeks or even days • The company already supplies major players like Lockheed Martin and RTX The deeper implication: This isn’t just another 3D printer. It represents a shift toward software-defined, on-demand manufacturing at industrial scale for mission-critical hardware. As defense and aerospace demand skyrockets, traditional supply chains are too slow. Systems like Monolith One could become a cornerstone of faster, more resilient domestic production especially for complex structures that are difficult or impossible to make conventionally. We’re watching the industrialization of additive manufacturing in real time. How do you think large-scale 3D printing will change aerospace and defense manufacturing over the next decade?

I had a substantive conversation with U.S. Special Presidential... Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg Keith Kellogg. I thanked him for participating in the Ukraine Recovery Conference, where the General leads the U.S. delegation. We discussed weapons supplies and strengthening air defense. Given the increase in Russian attacks, this remains one of our top priorities. We also covered the purchase of American weapons, joint defense manufacturing, and localization efforts in Ukraine. We focused in detail on sanctions pressure. We understand the need for tougher restrictions on Russian energy, especially secondary sanctions targeting buyers of Russian oil. We are hopeful for progress on the bill proposed by Senators Graham and Blumenthal in the U.S. Congress. This could certainly make Russia give greater thought to peace. We thank President Trump, both parties, and all American people for their support and assistance. We sincerely value the friendship between our nations.show more

🚨 HOLY SH*T, CHINA IS BUILDING A GOLD-BACKED FINANCIAL... SYSTEM And almost nobody understands how BIG this could become. China is pushing to internationalize the yuan through GOLD, new payment infrastructure, and alternatives to the U.S. dollar. Hong Kong’s government-backed gold clearing system began trial operations in July 2026, linked to the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Bloomberg Research also reports that China is developing a global network of gold vaults that could strengthen the yuan’s role in global finance. At the same time, China is building blockchain-based payment infrastructure with BRICS countries designed to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. And GOLD is at the center of everything. China has now bought gold for 20 consecutive months. In July, the UK, China, Japan, South Korea, and India all reduced their U.S. Treasury holdings while increasing exposure to gold. South Korea is buying gold again for the first time in 13 YEARS. Gold has now overtaken U.S. Treasuries as a more important reserve asset. Even Venezuela is moving its $4 BILLION, 31-ton gold reserves out of London after 8 years. The bigger picture is becoming impossible to ignore: GOLD → MORE U.S. TREASURIES → LESS DOLLAR DEPENDENCE → LESS China isn’t just buying gold. IT’S BUILDING AN ENTIRE FINANCIAL SYSTEM AROUND IT. And if other countries follow, the pressure on the U.S. dollar could become much bigger than anyone expects. China is moving toward gold. WHO’S NEXT? 👀show more

On Sundays, we post churches. About 150 years ago,... Rouen Cathedral was the tallest building in the world. The cast-iron spire reaches 151 meters, and they started building the place around 1180. It took more than three centuries to finish. Richard the Lionheart’s heart is buried inside. Monet painted the façade over thirty times because he couldn’t stop watching how the light changed it throughout the day. It got badly damaged in World War II but they restored it carefully, and it’s still one of the most impressive cathedrals in France.show more

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 ZELENSKY: AMERICA’S BIGGEST RETURN ON SUPPORTING UKRAINE IS... COMBAT EXPERIENCE. The Ukrainian president argued that the United States has gained something impossible to replicate in peacetime: firsthand knowledge from the largest conventional war in Europe in decades. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. military leaders have already acknowledged the value of the battlefield experience gained through the war in Ukraine. “America received something exclusive without paying for it with the lives of its own soldiers. We paid that price,” Zelensky said. He added that without Ukraine’s wartime experience, it would have taken the United States another 10 to 20 years to reach the same level of understanding, making the knowledge gained through the conflict uniquely valuable. Zelensky also highlighted the U.S.-Ukraine drone partnership, describing it as mutually beneficial, and revealed that Ukraine plans to build a major drone manufacturing facility in the United States as part of the cooperation.

Woman in in Western Illinois says Can someone please... explain to me how families are surviving right now?! Just opened our electric bill for the month: over $400 ($399 just for electric alone!). Mind you, we were gone on vacation for an entire week and turned the thermostat up before we left! And our home is 1200 sq ft. It’s not even about whether we can pay it—it’s the principle of it. How are people doing this? Thinking back to when I was a single mom, a bill like this would have completely ruined me. It’s more than my house payment used to be. Something in our world is seriously broken right now.show more

🚨 IF THE PETRODOLLAR COLLAPSES, THE DOLLAR LOSES IT’S... RESERVE STATUS. Japan’s one of the largest bank SBI Japan’s CEO 北尾吉孝 warned in an open letter about the mounting pressure on the petrodollar months ago. After U.S. Treasury announced sanctions, Iran declared that if the U.S. doesn’t leave the Middle East entirely, every barrel of oil flowing through the strait of Hormuz will be forced to trade in Chinese Yuan and cryptocurrencies. Born in the 1970s: U.S.-Saudi deal (now the entire Gulf) made oil (and most energy) priced & settled almost exclusively in USD. Producers recycled those dollars into U.S. Treasuries & assets → permanent demand for the dollar, cheap U.S. borrowing, and global dollar hegemony. Now the system is eroding fast: China, Russia, Iran, parts of the Gulf & BRICS are settling more oil in yuan, local currencies, and non-SWIFT rails. Hormuz disruptions + sanctions are accelerating the shift. The “petrodollar recycling” machine that once forced the world to buy dollars is losing steam. Meanwhile in the U.S.: National debt just smashed through $40 trillion. 10-year yields are climbing toward multi-year highs as markets price in endless deficits + rising oil. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “I don’t really understand” why oil is spiking… and “there’s nothing magic about the $40 trillion number, we can grow our way out of that.” When the energy currency of the world starts fracturing at the same moment the issuer is drowning in debt and pretending growth alone will fix it… history says the adjustment is never gentle. BoJ’s Yuto revealed that Bank of Japan has run an extreme case scenario of collapse of trust of U.S. creditors on U.S. Treasuries. We are now watching that happening in real time.show more

$CTVFF | $CTV.V THE MATERIAL BEHIND THE MACHINES CleanTech... $CTV is the future. Fluorspar is one of the most overlooked materials shaping modern society. It plays an important role in: 🔹 Semiconductor manufacturing 🔹 Nuclear fuel processing 🔹 Batteries and advanced chemicals 🔹 Aluminum and steel production 🔹 Refrigerants, glass and cement AI may appear to run on software, but its foundation is physical. Advanced chips, data centers, power grids and nuclear energy all depend on critical materials and fluorspar connects directly to several of those systems. The U.S. remains heavily dependent on foreign fluorspar supply, while CleanTech is working to advance a potential domestic source in the historic Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District. Its plans include: 🔹 A proposed underground mining operation 🔹 Onsite production of acid-grade fluorspar 🔹 Drilling to confirm historical data 🔹 Permit submissions targeted for late 2026 🔹 Additional rare-earth potential near Hicks Dome This remains an early-stage story with real permitting, financing and execution risks. But the larger theme is undeniable: The digital economy still begins with the materials pulled from the earth. Keep $CTVFF $CTV.V close on your radar.

A machine like this can cost $500,000 to well... over $1 million to make parts that may be worth only $10-15 This is the real manufacturing story. This INDEX six-spindle automatic carries 6 motorised spindles, up to 12 CNC tool carriers, operates at 8,000+ rpm, and weighs 7.2 tonnes. Different operations happen simultaneously as the spindle drum indexes each workpiece from station to station. A real scale production example produced a precision component in 11 seconds, versus 38 seconds on a conventional single-spindle lathe. That's roughly 327 parts per hour before downtime. But the machine is only the hardware. Tool geometry, CNC programs, cutting parameters, spindle synchronisation, tooling, bar feeding, chip evacuation, coolant, inspection and collision checked simulation all have to be engineered around the exact part. That is what it takes to integrate this machine into a factory workflow. This accumulated capability is what kept Germany and Japan at the pinnacle of machine-tool manufacturing for decades almost unchallenged. The advantage wasn't just building the hardware, but knowing how to program, tool and integrate these machines for thousands of different manufacturing requirements globally. China has now built much of that ecosystem at extraordinary scale, machines, controls, tooling, software, automation and integration. Its huge domestic manufacturing base has accelerated that learning curve dramatically. Today, Chinese manufacturers can increasingly offer sophisticated CNC and multi-spindle systems at 30-40% lower total costs in most applications, putting serious and relentless price pressure on German and Japanese builders. China produced 37% of the world's machine tools in 2025, compared with 12% for Germany and 10% for Japan. These are the machines that make the machines and ultimately determine how much an economy can manufacture. China is the biggest player as of now and growing faster than anyone else in manufacturing high-end machining tools. Source, Daniel Janssonshow more
