🌍 Amazing animation from Copernicus showing the Antarctic ozone hole in 2025 Every year, a “hole” forms in the ozone layer over Antarctica because of human-made chemicals like CFCs. These chemicals release chlorine high up in the atmosphere, which destroys ozone. During the Antarctic winter, the air gets very cold and is trapped by the polar vortex, allowing chlorine to build up. When the sun returns in spring, this chlorine becomes active and quickly eats away at the ozone. The hole usually reaches its biggest size between September and early October, then starts to shrink by November as ozone-rich air comes back in. Good news: In 2025, the ozone hole has been smaller and lasted for a shorter time than in many recent years — showing that efforts like the Montreal Protocol are helping our planet recover! 💙

Three British scientists saved the ozone layer. 🇬🇧 NASA had a billion pound satellite watching the same sky. 🛰️ For seven years it collected atmospheric data over Antarctica. Every single day. The ozone was vanishing. Readings lower than anything ever recorded. Numbers that shouldn't exist. The software flagged them as errors. And deleted them. For years. Then three men at a tiny British research station on the ice noticed something the satellite's computers had thrown away. Halley Research Station. Brunt Ice Shelf. British Antarctic Survey. Joe Farman. Brian Gardiner. Jonathan Shanklin. No satellite. No supercomputer. A Dobson spectrophotometer on a wooden tripod. Brass fittings. Manual readings. A notebook. Their data said the ozone layer above Antarctica was disappearing. They didn't delete it. They published it. Nature. 16 May 1985. NASA went back. Reprocessed its own discarded data. The hole was real. It had been real for years. Within two years: the Montreal Protocol. 16 September 1987. Every country on Earth signed it. 198 parties. The only universally ratified treaty in human history. The ozone layer is now healing. Mid-latitudes by 2040. The Antarctic hole by 2066. A billion pound machine said the data was wrong. Three men in parkas said it wasn't. The sky is healing because they were right. We tell stories like this every week. No sponsors. No ads. Just people who believe Britain's history is worth knowing. Stand with us 👇 Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

The International Olympic Committee isn’t an intergovernmental organization. Instead the IOC is registered as a private, not-for-profit international non-governmental organization organized as an association under Swiss Law (specifically under Articles 60 et seq. of the Swiss Civil Code). Basically in today’s world the IOC is money collecting and distributing machine. As it appears with no moral engagement or constraints. There are currently two active representatives from Ukraine serving as Members of the International Olympic Committee: Valeriy Borzov and Sergii Bubka. From Ukraine but not representing the government of Ukraine or required to coordinate their position with the government. The IOC is currently led by a former minister in the government of Zimbabwe, a country that voted against practically all resolutions of UNGA in support of territorial integrity of Ukraine. The EU provides variable financial support to International Olympic Committee via multiple European Commission grants, educational initiatives, and collaborative development schemes. Erasmus+ Programme: This is the primary vehicle for EU sports funding. The IOC and its affiliate entities, like the European Olympic Committees (EOC) EU Office, secure grants for grassroots sports development, social inclusion, and dual-career programs for athletes. In light of a provisional decision of the IOC to return warmongering Russia to Olympic Games on July 14, 2026, a coalition of nine EU member states (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and Sweden) formally petitioned the European Commissioner for Sport, Glenn Micallef, to completely cut off the IOC and other complicit sports bodies from Erasmus+ and all alternative EU funding programs.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump was HOURS away from striking Iran's energy infrastructure, but a deal may have just pulled the world back from the edge. Pravin Sawhney, one of India's most respected defense analysts, joined me to make sense of what actually happened overnight: Trump's "locked and loaded" post came hours after Qatar brokered a compromise on Hormuz, with vessels entering via Iranian territorial waters and exiting via Omani waters. An arrangement that gives Iran effective control of inbound traffic without completely shutting the strait. Iran denied the reports, as Sawhney expected: "The Iranians always deny good news until it is signed, they don't want to calm the markets, they want to keep the pressure on Trump." But beyond any deal, the U.S. simply does not have the military wherewithal, destroyers needed for Israel's integrated air defense are already stretched thin, and missiles and interceptors are sorely depleted. So what does Iran actually want from all this? Not just Hormuz fees, but American forces OUT of the Middle East entirely, which is what Article 4 of the MOU already stipulates, within 30 days of a final deal. "Trump should stop issuing public threats and get into serious closed-door negotiations, that is the only way a solution gets found." A deal is closer than yesterday, but still further than anyone would like... Thanks for coming on again, Pravin Sawhney

This 1988 ABC News report hits different in 2026. They warned that man-made CO₂ could raise global temperatures 4 to 9°F (2.2 to 5°C) within 40–60 years — possibly by 2028 or sooner — with melting polar ice caps and calls for global sacrifices, even suggesting we could no longer act primarily as citizens of individual countries. 38 years later, NASA and NOAA data show roughly 2.1–2.3°F (1.2–1.3°C) total warming since the late 1800s, with about 1.1–1.2°F (0.6–0.7°C) since 1988. We’re nowhere near the upper-end catastrophic scenarios they forecasted for this timeframe. History is full of these overreaches. In the 1970s, major media warned of an impending “global cooling” and a new Ice Age. Al Gore famously claimed in 2006 that the Arctic could be ice-free in summer by 2014 (or “within a decade”). These dramatic predictions often grab attention but frequently miss the mark on timing and severity. The clip is a reminder that we should stay humble about long-term climate forecasts. When past high-confidence apocalyptic timelines don’t materialize, it erodes trust. What stands out to you when you watch old climate alarm reports like this?

So now the picture gets darker… Three days before Charlie’s memorial, Israel formalized a $4 million contract with ‘Show Faith by Works’, a California firm hired to run what it called the “largest Christian Church Geofencing Campaign in U.S. history.” After the memorial itself, Andrew Kolvet publicly boasted that their “tech partners” had tracked over 277,000 devices in and around the stadium, ie the phones of grieving Christians, all digitally tagged and harvested under the pretext of “outreach.” Layer that with what’s now surfacing… Multiple reports claim Charlie had rejected a massive offer, allegedly around $150 million, from Israeli interests and their billionaire backers. Whether that figure is exact or not, it’s clear there was intense pressure for him to continue to align with Israel’s agenda. According to Candace Owens, that refusal may have triggered serious internal conflict within Turning Point USA itself. Owens has openly suggested that Charlie’s defiance, his unwillingness to be bought and his refusal to compromise, made enemies not just outside TPUSA but within it. Enemies with everything to lose if he exposed or resisted the machinery of influence operating behind the scenes. So the question must be asked: Was Charlie Kirk killed for saying no? Was his death part of an internal plot within Turning Point USA to remove a leader who threatened the financial and political lifeline of the organization? Was his martyrdom the cost of rejecting Zionist money, leaving others free to realign TPUSA with Israel immediately after his death? I don’t know the answers, but the timing, the contracts, and the digital harvesting of Christians at his memorial demand that we at least ask the questions. Maybe Charlie’s greatest “crime” was simply saying ‘NO’, and in a world where loyalty is bought and influence is currency, that kind of integrity can be deadly.

Last night, I had the joy of attending a conversation at Brooklyn's Pioneer Works, part of an impressive continuing series on scientific controversies moderated by Janna Levin. She brought together Yann LeCun of Meta (for now), and Adam Brown of Google DeepMind for what evolved into a brilliant debate on whether LLMs will take the technology to its oft-promised land (Brown's stance) or whether new paradigms are required to teach programs how the world works, as four-year-olds or cats learn through experience. I'm on Team Yann. He presented a bracing and realistic vision for AI that can get smarter on a new track, one that provides invaluable assistance to humans, that is in human control, and that can - can - open paths to a new Renaissance. (That last will be up to us.) Yann has been the AI pioneer I trust more than any other, for he brings sense and sobriety, experience and perspective to a field overrun with hyperbole, hype, and messianic doom. Last night, I heard a fuller explication of his vision - which, according to the FT, he may soon bring to fruition as it reports he will leave Meta to found a startup. Many cannot wait to hear more; the room was overflowing. I've been honored to interview Yann on the AI Inside podcast (whence came the invitation to last night's event). I'll share more reflections about the discussion on this week's show.

Hey NASA. Remember when CNN put out this news segment? Your UAP reps talked passionately about the stigma surrounding UFOs. They publicly advocated transparency on this UAP subject. They preached about how we should encourage the much needed scientific analysis of the UAP puzzle. Remember that? Well, I have a few tiny questions... because someone somewhere (a dude named Marcus) once said, "The impediment to action, advances action"... 1. It's been reported that NASA dodged participation in the recent UAP hearings? If true, was that due to the stigma your bold and brave organization might endure? Were you worried about losing funding - or credibility? I mean... participating in the hearing mighta given you a shit-ton (that's an official space-term for a fuck-ton) of cosmic "street cred" with the public. You know - credit with us - the citizens who pay annually to contribute to NASA's missions and explorations... for the good of humankind. So what would you need from us - to use our money - to help look at this UFO puzzle? 2. Is NASA indeed reorienting sensor platforms (with AI assisted algorithms) to capture high-fidelity imagery of UAP in transit? If not - is your (our) organization PLANNING to? If you have tasked assets to do this already - what altitudes and specific geo-locations on Earth or areas surrounding Earth (off-world) is NASA monitoring? Did you find anything "untraditional" or "exotic" or even "unknown"? Where would you send that data if you captured it? Can the public see the current data (which we funded) that's been acquired so far? Is it classified? Should it be classified if it's of public interest and concerns new discoveries of our natural ecosystem? And if classified - who gets to use that data and why... for what purpose? 3. Has NASA dedicated resources to systematically look at the sensor data potentially already acquired - for cross-reference with other defense system's platforms for corroboration of AAVs (Anomalous Aerial Vehicles) or UAP? 4. Does your "scientific review board" have access to ANYTHING once it's classified? If not - what high-value data could they possibly be working with? 5. Wait - also - doesn't the NRO have hardware utilized and the data analyzed by NGA? What did they discover? 5. It's stated on your mission page regarding UAP that a "full report containing the team’s findings will be released to the public in mid-2023" Because y'all say the "findings will be released to the public in conjunction with NASA’s principles of transparency, openness, and scientific integrity.”... when is that report ACTUALLY coming out? Final quick question... is your social media representative or Office of Communications (OCOMM) lead, read-in on any of the above? If not; should they be? (considering that you do ACTUALLY represent public interest?) I have a hunch you will be asked all these questions soon by major mainstream media networks - prior to getting your homework turned-in. So, time to hustle? I can bet even your investors - American citizens - will be calling in and asking these questions to your office soon. Always keep in mind three things Mary Poppins taught us... 1. A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. 2. Kindness is gangster. 3. Honey badgers don't give a fuck. Be a UFO transparency honey badger, and be a gangster. ♥️😉🛸 #UAPtransparency #UAPaccountability

Ethnic Division Within Ethiopian Military: In a shocking revelation, a leaked audio recording of the Ethiopian military's second chief in command has exposed deep-rooted ethnic divisions within the armed forces. The recording sheds light on how the military is allegedly divided along ethnic lines, with claims that ethnic Oromos hold significant positions both within the military and government. These revelations have raised concerns about the unity and stability of the nation. The leaked audio, purportedly from General Abebaw, highlights growing dissatisfaction within the Ethiopian military. It suggests that each ethnic region has formed its own sizable military force, leading to fragmentation and a lack of cohesion within the armed forces. Furthermore, the recording suggests that loyalty within the military is tied to ethnic affiliation, with individuals from specific ethnic groups supporting their own leaders. The leaked audio recording of General Abebaw has raised serious concerns about the state of the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF). According to him, the ENDF is ill-equipped to defend the country against external threats, citing the defense and security system's effectiveness as zero. He attributes this critical situation to the replacement of well-educated and experienced military personnel with inexperienced individuals from ethnic Oromo backgrounds. Of particular concern is the claim that the current Oromo-affiliated government is attempting to replicate the military structure of the Tigray-dominated EPRDF government of the past. General Abebaw warns that this approach may fail, given the deep-seated ethnic divisions that plague the military. General Abebaw goes on to reveal that the current government's alliance with Saudi Arabia has influenced the ENDF's decision-making. High-level security projects are allegedly being handed over to Saudi Arabia as a form of solidarity, a move that was previously forbidden by the late General Seare due to the potential national security threats it poses. The ramifications of this leaked audio have already started to materialize. Recent reports indicate that Amhara Fano forces have been advancing their struggle, taking control of major cities such as Debrebrhan. The situation has further escalated with reports of other ethnic groups in the south supporting the Amhara Fano struggle. Only through genuine efforts to address ethnic divisions can Ethiopia navigate this perilous situation and secure a path toward lasting peace and prosperity for all its citizens.

This morning after joining Mr Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to monitor the Monthly Environmental Sanitation in Surulere Local Government, I led top officials on an inspection of the major works underway at the Olusosun dumpsite and I am pleased to share real progress with Lagosians. We are on track to deliver a new Transfer Loading Station at Olusosun by the end of this year, a facility that will transfer 2,500 metric tonnes of waste daily to the Material Recovery Site in Ikorodu. The concessionaire Messrs ZOOMLION has committed to accelerating work with day and night operations to meet that target and as part of their corporate social responsibility, they will also stabilize and remediate the 1.2 kilometre access road into the site. This project is at the heart of our move to decongest the Olusosun landfill and more importantly to abandon the unsustainable pick and dump linear waste model that has defined Lagos for over four decades.

This morning after joining Mr Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to monitor the Monthly Environmental Sanitation in Surulere Local Government, I led top officials on an inspection of the major works underway at the Olusosun dumpsite and I am pleased to share real progress with Lagosians. We are on track to deliver a new Transfer Loading Station at Olusosun by the end of this year, a facility that will transfer 2,500 metric tonnes of waste daily to the Material Recovery Site in Ikorodu. The concessionaire Messrs ZOOMLION has committed to accelerating work with day and night operations to meet that target and as part of their corporate social responsibility, they will also stabilize and remediate the 1.2 kilometre access road into the site. This project is at the heart of our move to decongest the Olusosun landfill and more importantly to abandon the unsustainable pick and dump linear waste model that has defined Lagos for over four decades. We simply do not have the land for it any longer. Olusosun was once on the outskirts, today it is surrounded by a growing city and it must become a resource hub, not an eyesore. The transition is already happening. Lafarge is taking our combustible waste to power their machines.

🔴 How can lobbyists spend more than two hours discussing the human rights situation in Iran and still save the regime? An analysis of the (Green) Heinrich Böll Foundation panel from 2016 First, a note about the participants: - Hadi Ghaemi served on the board of NIAC (the regime's lobby group) for many years and later founded the NGO “Center for Human Rights in Iran.” As leaks of his communications with Trita Parsi from that time show, Ghaemi’s explicit goal was to establish an NGO that did not advocate for the overthrow of the regime. The fact that Ghaemi was a member of NIAC is being kept under wraps. - Omid Nouripour (a Green Party politician) has had ties to NIAC-members for years. The linked post shows how he has helped stabilize the regime for many years. - Ziba Mir-Hosseini is advocating for women’s rights and gender equality within Islam. - The moderator and initiator of the panel is Ali Fathollah-Nejad (CMEG). He, too, has a long history of ties to NIAC members. His entire political work is based on preserving the regime through, for example, pro-JCPOA and anti-sanctions stances. About the panel: 1. The entire panel does not even once question the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic itself. Everyone is engaged in an intellectual discussion about how to bring about small improvements within the regime. They all accept that it isn’t working, that execution rates are rising, and that change would take a long time. The idea of ending the regime to improve the human rights situation in Iran isn’t even a conceivable option in this panel. 2. In the introduction, Fathollah-Nejad claims that the era of regime change is over and that a new era is beginning. He also claims that the suffering of the Iranian people is only partly due to the regime and partly due to "imperial pressure". 3. Ghaemi founded a regime-affiliated NGO to present the regime’s narrative to the West under the guise of a human rights organization. According to Ghaemi, everyone in the civilian population supports the JCPOA and opposes military intervention by the U.S. and Israel. Of course, this did not reflect the actual will of the people in Iran. It was the selective narrative that the regime-affiliated NGO presented to the West to advance its own interests. 4. As for the opposition, the only person mentioned by the entire panel is Narges Mohammadi, who is the face of the regime’s reformist wing. She, too, does not represent the end of the Islamic Republic. 5. The panelists are all pro-JCPOA. Nouripour claims that the money from the JCPOA is rightfully the regime's money and lists the positive things the regime is doing with it (boosting the economy, creating jobs). This “on the one hand, on the other hand” narrative is, first of all, untrue: the money did not benefit the people. And it downplays the downsides of the JCPOA: funding for terrorist proxies and more money for repression. Nouripour mentions it, but treats it as if it were on equal footing. 6. According to Ghaemi, 80% of the executions is “merely” due to drug-related cases. Even if that were true - which it certainly was not - it would not serve as a justification. According to Ghaemi, no pressure from within or without can put an end to the executions. 7. Mir-Hosseini claims that Ahmadinejad ultimately became a supporter of women's rights. 8. Fathollah-Nejad claims that there is a danger that “authoritarian stability” could emerge in Iran. They speak of the future in this context. This is meant to convey that the Islamic Republic had not yet been that at the time. Judging by the human rights crimes that took place under the regime up until 2016, this is a statement that whitewashes the regime. 9. The panelists are against sanctions. 10. Ghaemi, in particular, repeats the false narrative that there are reformists and hardliners within the regime. This illusion of an opposition within the system has prolonged the life of the Islamic Republic by decades. As I listen to this panel, three things become clear to me: - Every one of the panelists wants the Islamic Republic to survive, either because of their Muslim background or because they are part of the NIAC ecosystem. - All four panelists are aware of the regime’s human rights abuses. But they justify and downplay them. - And finally, this image comes to mind: The panelists strike me as people (in fireproof suits) in a burning house who - instead of leaving the house or calling the fire department - take two glasses and repeatedly pour a few drops of water from one glass into the other. They claim that the fire is indeed hot, but that they are doing something about it and that the situation will surely change soon. Meanwhile, all the children in the house have already died in the fire.

Walter Cronkite's final sign-off as CBS Evening News anchor: After almost two decades of meeting Americans in their living rooms every evening, Walter Cronkite delivered his last broadcast on Friday, March 6th, 1981. He opened with characteristic understatement: "This is my last broadcast as the anchor man of the CBS Evening News. For me, it's a moment for which I long have planned, but which nevertheless comes with some sadness. For almost two decades, after all, we've been meeting like this in the evenings, and I'll miss that." But Cronkite wasn't one for sentimentality. He immediately pushed back against those treating his departure as monumental: "But those who have made anything of this departure, I'm afraid, have made too much. This is but a transition, a passing of the baton." He framed his exit not as the end of an era, but as a continuation of something larger than himself. He pointed to Doug Edwards, who came before him, and Dan Rather, who would follow, describing both as great broadcasters. Then came the line that captured his entire philosophy on the work: "The person who sits here is but the most conspicuous member of a superb team of journalists, writers, reporters, editors, producers, and none of that will change." The anchor chair gets the spotlight. But the news, Cronkite reminded viewers, is built by a team. He also made clear he wasn't disappearing: "I'm not even going away. I'll be back from time to time with special news reports and documentaries and beginning in June every week with our science program, Universe. Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away. They just keep coming back for more." And then, for the final time in that chair, his signature sign-off: "And that's the way it is. Friday, March 6th, 1981. I'll be away on assignment and Dan Rather will be sitting in here for the next few years. Good night."

Spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres responds to questions over UN Watch’s exposé: Efrat Lachter, Fox News: Given the thousands of civilians who were killed by the Iranian regime, do you think it was wise that today you sent a letter of congratulation to the Iranian authorities? Stéphane Dujarric, U.N. Spokesman: So the letter that went out from the Secretary-General is a standard letter that goes out to every member states on their national holiday. And this has been a tradition for decades. Every year each member state gets the exact same letter, right? Congratulating on their national holiday and conveying best wishes to the people of that country. As I said, the letters went out yesterday to Iran, Gambia, and Lithuania, if I'm not mistaken. So it's like I said, it's a decades long tradition. And I said each member states gets the exact same letter. It should not be interpreted by anyone who receives it as an endorsement of whatever policies may be going, the government may be putting in place. It doesn't change the Secretary-General's view of the crackdown that we saw in Iran, which he called horrendous, given the level of violence and deaths that we saw. Fox: Following up on that, the Iranian Foreign Minister is said to come to address the Human Rights Council later this month. How does that reconcile with what you just said? U.N. Spokesman: Well, first of all, that's a decision of the Human Rights Council. We also believe this. This is a membership organization. Every member state has a right to address legislative bodies and every member state has a right to question whatever statements others may be making. It is not within the Secretary-General's authority to bar a Member State from addressing a legislative body. And for the Human Rights Council, I would ask you to ask the President of the Human Rights Council.

U.S. Cracks Down on “Singh Organization.” Why Is Canada Still Looking Away? 11 Singhs were arrested in San Bernardino County, California, accused of operating a sophisticated freight theft and trucking fraud ring that diverted high-value shipments across state lines, costing companies millions. The police branded the criminal ring as the “Singh Organization,” raising questions about whether the repeated appearance of the surname in media reports involving massive narcotics busts, immigration violations, and fatal trucking accidents points to a broader pattern. Could U.S. efforts to combat ethnic-religious gangs like the “Singh Organization” be undermined by Canada? While the U.S. secures prosecutions, deports illegal drivers, and imprisons narcotics traffickers, Canada routinely grants bail to truck drivers charged in fatal crashes and to Singhs caught trafficking massive quantities of narcotics. Could the difference in enforcement between the U.S. and Canada stem from the Khalistani World Sikh Organization’s political and institutional influence over the Canadian government—an influence it does not possess in the United States? After all, the WSO has maintained deep connections within Canada’s political establishment for decades. Many of its past and present affiliates have occupied positions in federal and provincial politics, public service, and even the justice system. Bob Rai, a researcher and former Sikh himself, believes that unless the United States takes over Canada, the “Singh Organization” will continue to flourish and undermine U.S. efforts. He arrived at this conclusion due to his lack of faith in both the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, as he points out both have WSO affiliates within their ranks. The Conservative Party of Canada, for instance, has Tim Uppal as deputy leader, whose brother was charged twice in drug and firearms busts yet somehow avoided prosecution. Meanwhile, Jasraj Singh Hallan, the party’s finance critic, is a self-admitted former gangster. With the apparent lack of law and order in Canada compared to the U.S., how much narcotics and fentanyl is flowing into the U.S. from Canada through its ethno-religious gangs and political–criminal nexus?

Jared Isaacman's opening statement during his hearing to be the new NASA Administrator 🇺🇸 "As mentioned before, I have lived the American dream. I have been fortunate to have an amazing business and aeronautics career, to have led two notable missions to space, to help charitable causes that matter deeply to my family, and now I am beyond thankful to have a chance to repay my debt to this nation by serving alongside the brilliant minds at the world’s most accomplished space agency The last time I sat before you, I introduced myself, my qualifications, and the challenges and opportunities ahead. This time, I am here with a message of urgency" After more than a half-century, America is set to launch NASA astronauts around the Moon in just a matter of months — a challenging endeavor to say the least — and one that requires fulltime leadership. Secretary Duffy, in his letter to this committee endorsing my nomination, emphasized this point. That message is shared by more than two dozen other letters of support, including an online petition started by members of the NASA workforce and a letter from 36 NASA astronauts — who, like me, have sat through anomaly investigations, launch and flight readiness reviews, have accepted the risks of going to space, and understand what is at stake And I know it is not lost on anyone in this room that we are in a great competition with a rival that has the will and means to challenge American exceptionalism across multiple domains, including in the high ground of space. This is not the time for delay, but for action, because if we fall behind — if we make a mistake — we may never catch up, and the consequences could shift the balance of power here on Earth" The Congress, and specifically this Committee, understand the urgency of the moment — placing a historic investment in human space exploration that President Trump signed in the one big beautiful bill. It’s now time for NASA and our partners to deliver To that end, I want to assure you, Senators, I am not here for personal gain, to favor or enrich contractors, to close centers, or to disrupt programs essential to completing America’s objectives in space. If confirmed, I am here to bring urgency and an extreme focus to the mission — to do all I can working with the best and brightest at NASA to lead humanity’s effort to unlock the secrets of the universe and ensure American leadership across the last great frontier. In concert with that grand endeavor, we will ensure the following: The success of the Artemis program that President Trump began during his first term. America will return to the Moon before our great rival, and we will establish an enduring presence to understand and realize the scientific, economic, and national security value on the lunar surface Along the way, we will pioneer the next ‘giant leap’ capabilities to extend America’s reach even further into space, including expanding and accelerating investments into nuclear propulsion and surface power programs. These efforts, in addition to industry partners building reusable launch vehicles, we will set the stage for future missions to Mars and beyond We will never accept a gap in capabilities again — not with our space station presence in low Earth orbit or our ability to send American astronauts to the Moon We will strive to build an orbital and lunar economy that can fund the future we all want to see in space and not rely exclusively on the taxpayer. We will begin making the investments now for the inevitable spacefaring future that is just on the horizon We will make the most efficient use of every dollar allocated — pushing for more x-planes, more rovers and telescopes, more exciting missions like Hubble, James Webb, and Dragonfly with the aim of enlightening the world through breakthrough scientific discoveries — knowing that if NASA doesn’t do it, no one else will Some of the most talented people in America show up to work at NASA. Alongside a reinvigorated culture and intense focus on achieving the near-impossible — what no other organization is capable of or dares to accomplish —we will achieve these objectives… And when, not if, we get the job done — it will be because of the professionals at NASA, our international & commercial partners, this committee and Congress, and President Trump’s administration that will have succeeded in ushering in a new golden age of science and discovery. We will do it for America, for humankind, and in doing so, we will inspire the world and the generations to follow to take us even farther We are just getting started on the greatest adventure in human history — and with urgency, purpose, and extreme focus on the mission, NASA will lead the way, Thank you" Let's get him confirmed 🚀

In light of The Telegraph now admitting that the Covid injections "can cause heart damage," here's Sucharit Bhakdi—in April 2024—noting that out of every 1 million Covid-jab recipients, ~10,000 will get myocarditis. Of those, ~20-50% will die within 10 years. The retired Professor Emeritus of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and former Chair of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, describes for Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson (Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson) how the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine—a congressionally chartered organization that serves as the collective scientific national academy of the United States—has confirmed that both Pfizer and Moderna's COVID injections cause myocarditis. Estimating the rate of myocarditis post COVID injection based on a study published in Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease in 2022, Bhakdi says it's likely that one to two percent of injection recipients will develop the heart condition. Meaning out of every 1,000,000 injection recipients, up to 20,000 will develop myocarditis. Of that cohort, Bhakdi says, we can expect up to 50% to die within the next 10 years. "[T]hey looked at al the literature, all the evidence" and for most conditions possibly caused by the COVID injections, "they were not completely sure and the data are still not sufficient," Bhakdi says of the National Academies injection analysis. He notes that "For myocarditis, [they said it's] now established that the myocarditis comes from the vaccination...And they wrote that further scientific investigation will not lead to any other conclusion." This means that "any myocarditis that anyone sees in the world following vaccination is known now to be due to the vaccine," Bhakdi adds. He goes on to highlight the paper published in Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, saying that the team, made of Thai researchers working in Thailand, "used [modern medical] techniques to see what the incidence was of myocarditis in young people, and the results were completely clear: incidence was something in the range of...1 to 2%." One percent means if you "vaccinate" 1,000,000 people, 10,000 are going to get myocarditis," Bhakdi notes. He adds that myocarditis is a "slow killer" that will wipe out 20 to 50% of those affected by it within a decade. He notes the injections have doubtlessly "shortened the lifespan of [affected children] by decades." "[T]his is murder," Bhakdi says.

In light of The Telegraph now admitting that the Covid injections "can cause heart damage," here's Sucharit Bhakdi—in April 2024—noting that out of every 1 million Covid-jab recipients, ~10,000 will get myocarditis. Of those, ~20-50% will die within 10 years. The retired Professor Emeritus of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and former Chair of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, describes for Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson (Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson) how the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine—a congressionally chartered organization that serves as the collective scientific national academy of the United States—has confirmed that both Pfizer and Moderna's COVID injections cause myocarditis. Estimating the rate of myocarditis post COVID injection based on a study published in Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease in 2022, Bhakdi says it's likely that one to two percent of injection recipients will develop the heart condition. Meaning out of every 1,000,000 injection recipients, up to 20,000 will develop myocarditis. Of that cohort, Bhakdi says, we can expect up to 50% to die within the next 10 years. "[T]hey looked at al the literature, all the evidence" and for most conditions possibly caused by the COVID injections, "they were not completely sure and the data are still not sufficient," Bhakdi says of the National Academies injection analysis. He notes that "For myocarditis, [they said it's] now established that the myocarditis comes from the vaccination...And they wrote that further scientific investigation will not lead to any other conclusion." This means that "any myocarditis that anyone sees in the world following vaccination is known now to be due to the vaccine," Bhakdi adds.

SEN. KELLY: I've spent 15 years working with Russian cosmonauts. Took me 5 years to understand what motivated them. Number one, appearance that they were in charge of something. Two, who to blame when something goes wrong. Three, what to steal today. Only four, mission success. I think as Ukrainians, as Americans, as Brits, we're often motivated by mission success. You want organization you work for to be successful, you want your country to be successful, you want British Army to be successful, I want US Navy to be successful, I want NASA to be successful. That wasn't my experience with Russian cosmonauts I worked with. I'm talking about dozens of people that I knew well, what motivated them when they went to work every day. At the top of the list was that they really cared about the appearance that they were in charge of something, not mission success. Now, whether they were really actually in charge of it or not didn't matter so much. Mission success wasn't even number two. Number two on the list, I would say, was whether they knew who to blame when something went wrong, like placing the blame. Russians have a position in their Mission Control Center which is called "mistakes officer." When a Russian cosmonaut makes a mistake, they keep track of it and they take money out of their pay. I would say the third thing, even before mission success, was what am I going to steal from my employer today. And we would talk about that. They were very open about this. And apparently there's a saying in Russian that if you didn't steal something at work that day, you did not have a good day. For us, and I think everybody in this room here, mission success is the thing that matters more than anything else. And for the Russians I worked with, it might have been number four on the list. So I actually was not that surprised about their incompetence.
