I keep coming back to the same uncomfortable conclusion. When a whole society is organised around labour as the organising principle of life, and machines suddenly remove both the work and the need for it, most people will not feel free. They will feel cut loose. Energy cannot be...

Trump: I will not be abandoning the farmers. We are strong on the borders and for the farmers and others in the hotel industry. We have similar situations and Kristi and I will be working with the states and we will work something where the farmers and be responsible. They have had people around for 10 or 15 years and they know them well, we will put them responsible, and issue a form of card or documents and the farmer will be responsible for these people. They will not have citizenship but they will be working and paying taxes. We need to get our farmers the people they need or else the farmers will not be able to do their land. It was tried when there was a very strong guy, and he got everybody out, and every farm almost in the country but every farm in California or Iowa went bankrupt and they had nobody to work and we do not want that situation. We will put our farmers and others in charge of the people that they have under them. They know the people and it will work out well. We will take care of our farmer but to get the criminals out. Go ahead.

A war nobody needed. A debt number too big to say out loud. And an El Nino that could be the worst in recorded history. None of that is a coincidence. It's what happens when the people running the world's economy are trained not to see any of it coming. The next Fed chairman walks into all three at once, with the same playbook that missed 2008. I don't think 2026 survives on autopilot. For a more comprehensive understanding, refer to the full video presentation given in the comments. #SteveKeen #PostKeynesian #FederalReserve #EconomicCrisis

Not all of our Muslim neighbors are violent. Not at all. The vast majority of Muslims that we meet will not be violent. We can befriend them and love them. We can share the gospel with them and see the image of God in them, just as much in them as it is in us and our children. At the same time, we must be completely clear-eyed about the contradiction between the American way of life and the ideology of political Islam. We must do that. I think we are obligated to do that.

Ilya Sutskever explains why AI will do 100% the work that human can do within few years. "Slowly but surely, or maybe not so slowly, AI will keep getting better. The day will come when AI will do all of our, all the things that we can do, not just some of them, but all of them. Anything which I can learn, anything which any one of you can learn, the AI could do as well. How do we know this, by the way? How can I be so sure? How can I be so sure of that? The reason is that all of us have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer. That's why we have a brain; the brain is a biological computer. So why can't the digital computer, a digital brain, do the same things? This is the one-sentence summary for why AI will be able to do all those things: because we have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer." --- Full Video on 'University of Toronto' YT Channel (link in comment)

SLOVAKIA WILL NOT BE BLACKMAILED THROUGH ENERGY In light of the current events in the Middle East, it should now be clear to everyone that the struggle of the Slovak government to secure safe supplies of oil and gas is the main task of the day. It is also clearer than ever that the future of Slovakia’s energy sector must be closely linked to the development of nuclear energy, in which Slovakia ranks among the most significant players. I am proud that Slovaks were able to clearly see into the future and did not succumb to pressure to phase out nuclear energy. On the contrary, we rejected utopian ideas and worked on further projects. We are not resting on our laurels and we are moving forward. Only in this way can we secure Slovakia’s strategic needs for the coming decades.

Dr. Sue Morter: "The foundation of our reality is a collective consciousness that we have created together" “This energy rises up and cycles through a toric field flow, then it projects a movie out in front of us, and we walk into that movie every day of our lives.” All physical matter is compressed energy. Research traces that energy with no interruption all the way back to the unified field of consciousness. There is nothing that proves we are separate from source. With each layer of compression we move closer to physical form. Energy hits the earth, rises, cycles, and projects the reality we experience. Science shows the foundation of that reality is a collective consciousness we have created and agreed upon together. We treat it as solid and fixed, yet we are the consciousness of the entire system. We stand as the doorway between the infinite and the finite, the formless and the form. What we allow to pass through us without interruption determines the quality of the movie we walk into. When we conclude we are not enough, that life is unfair, or that nothing will work, that conclusion becomes the reality we inhabit. We have input. The movie is not fixed.

Kamala Harris: We cannot despair. We cannot despair. The nature of a democracy is such that I think there's a duality. On the one hand, there's an incredible strength when our democracy is intact. An incredible strength in what it does to protect the freedoms and rights of its people. Oh, there's great strength in that. And it is very fragile. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. And so that's the moment we're in. And I say do not despair because in a democracy, as long as we can keep it, in our democracy the people, every individual has the power to make a decision about what this will be. And so let's not feel powerless. Because then we have been defeated. And that's not our character as the American people. We are not one to be defeated. We rise to a moment and we stand on broad shoulders of people who have fought this fight before for our country. And in many ways let us look at the challenge then that we are being presented and not be overwhelmed by it. The baton is now in our hands, to fight for, not against, but for this country we love.

From Atlanta to Washington 🇺🇸 this weekend, vigils were everywhere. As I said, it’s personal now, and I will say it again: yes, I truly do not understand how anyone in their right mind & advisory board could ever believe they have the right to take the lives of thousands of people….then crown themselves with the presidency, parliament, etc., and then expect the entire world to stay silent.…just heartless … no-this will never be accepted, not now and not ever. And we will continue reminding the world that every single one of these fallen, innocent people who lost lives during the 2025 elections unrest in Tanzania-yes. people whose bodies were in piles like animals😢then self crowned head of state claimed killings were justified because “force was rightly applied”huh…These people have names, have mothers, have families, and have loved ones who are hurting deeply and who need healing through justice. Believe me when I say our voices will continue to speak for them. Will keep honoring them in the best way we can, every single day, while seeking justice for them, no matter how long it takes. I will keep reminding everyone that we care, and that every life on that list has a name. We will keep caring, and we will keep advocating because they mattered, and their lives were not in vain. We will never stop speaking out.… we refuse to let these lives be forgotten. Even if the Tanzanian government would prefer to silence or act like it never happened, we will not allow their memories to be erased. We have spoken for you, and now, as these past days have shown, the whole world is watching Tanzania. Truth and justice will win. Mark this, wapendwa.🙏🏽🇹🇿

I can tell you only one thing, and I will say this to the leaders of Iran: Do not count on it being quiet if you attack us. Do not count on a rerun. Because it will not be a rerun, and that was already powerful enough. This will be a different event, much more powerful. The days when someone hurts us and we do not strike them back twofold are over. We did this to the Axis of Evil in Iran, and we will continue to do so to anyone who harms us. That is what we do."

So I think that it’s part of it, and I think we take a lot of responsibility on that and having lost the fans a little bit. And I think had we given them a lot more to cheer for and be up in the fourth quarters and be into it and giving them more wins, I think we might look at it a little differently, so, I think we can take a lot of responsibility for that, but the fans have been there, they stepped up tonight. They were huge, they were loud, they were positive, so I just want to look forward and try to continue to give them things to be positive for…I’m just glad they show up for us.”

BRIAN KENNEDY: It's not just Antifa. It's communists and Muslims as well. This is a war. They see it as a war. They're all criminal illegals. And the fact is we blinked in the beginning. We thought it was the right policy to deport them, originally just the most violent criminals, when in fact we should have been deporting all of them. And it may not be 20 million, it may be 25 million, or if we go with Bovino, 100 million. --- We have to have an industrial scale plan for deporting them.

Elon Musk measures every civilization by a single number. By that number, we have not begun. Not by armies. Not by gold. By energy. By how much of it you can actually hold. A Russian physicist named Kardashev drew the scale in the sixties. The first rung should be easy. Musk: “If you’re Type I, you’re using most the energy of your planet.” That is not greatness. That is the entry fee. The moment a species stops being primitive. We have not paid it. Musk: “We’re still using a tiny fraction of the sun’s energy that reaches our planet.” And what reaches us is already almost nothing. Musk: “The Earth only receives about half a billionth of the sun’s energy.” Half a billionth. That is the entire inheritance of everyone who has ever lived. And we built everything we know on the fraction we bothered to catch. Musk: “The sun is 99.8 percent of all mass in the solar system.” Everything you have ever called the world is the rounding error. Every empire, every fortune, every border rose and fell inside a fraction of a fraction. Every war was fought over scraps. Beneath a furnace pouring out more in a single second than we will burn in a hundred years. Every economy ever designed assumed there was not enough. The sun disproved that assumption every morning since the Earth was formed. The abundance was never missing. It fell on us the whole time. We kept our eyes on the dirt. So the scale stops being a measurement. It becomes a verdict. It does not ask how advanced you are. It asks how much smallness you agreed to. Musk looked at the same sky as everyone else. And refused to sign. Scarcity was never handed to us. The sun never rationed anything. We did.

Mikel Arteta on how he handles transfer speculation with his players: "Very simple. Whatever you read, if you have a question, come and knock on my door and I will tell you whether it is true or not. If we put now the catalogue on all these walls about all the players that we wanted in the last three months, I think we need the whole building to put it on. So I think they know that there's so much speculation with a lot of players. "If ever they feel the doubt of what we think of them and if we're going to recruit a player, I tell them straight away. Normally I do it - so, 'we're going to sign somebody in their position', and normally tell them that these are the plans and these are the reasons why we have the plans. 'We still believe the same in you, but the competition is going to increase.' I prefer to do it that way."

Zack Polanski speaking at the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, "The government are very good at recognising the problems, at recognising the crisis, the supply chain issues, the energy crisis in Iran, the energy crisis from Ukraine" "But very rarely do they seem to have solutions, things to actually do about it. And when they do have solutions, rarely are they solutions of the scale we need" "So if we look at the energy crisis, for instance, we've heard recently that energy bills in this country could go up 200 pound per year, on average for a household" "That's completely unacceptable" "And far too often I don't hear the solutions from the government that are just so obvious to ramp up our investment in renewable energy to make sure that we're insulating every single home in Britain that needs it" "So it is both warm in the winter and cool in the summer as well as creating hundreds of thousands of good green jobs that could be in public sectors that could be unionised so people are paid properly and treated with dignity and, and care and to remove the subsidies from the fossil fuel companies" "The same people who are destroying our planet should not be getting subsidised by the government at a time when we're in the climate crisis" "But as you know, well it's not just an energy crisis, it's a crisis for food too. Because what we've seen in Iran or implicated by Iran is a fertiliser crisis" "We know how devastating and damaging that already is for our supply chains and for the food that we produce" "And this badly needs intervention, it badly needs help. And what did we see this government do? Well, they cut tariffs on chocolates and biscuits" "Now don't get me wrong, there is room to do this and that will provide a small relief for some families" "That's not a long term plan for UK businesses and UK food production" "That's not a Long term plan to invest in resilience and in our food supply chains, in our energy" "It's not a long term plan that takes these issues seriously, not in the next few weeks or months, but goes we need to fundamentally rethink our systems change and how we provide food security as one of the most fundamental things in our society"

The heat, the noise, the crush of it. And standing in that chaos — young Marines, some of them barely out of high school — doing the hardest thing there is to do in war, which is to keep your head, keep your discipline, and keep reaching for the person in front of you when everything in you is screaming to take cover. The blast came, and the world found out about Abbey Gate. We remember the thirteen heroes we lost that day. WE ALWAYS WILL.”

As Arabs, we need to understand that Israel and the West are not our oppressors or enemies. We, Arabs, are our own worst enemies. We, Arabs, are our greatest oppressors. We, Arabs, have killed and oppressed a million times more of our people than the West and Israel can ever do. It is not Israel that married off my mother when she was a child. It is my people who did. It is not the West or Israel that has been bombing Yemen for the past decade and killed 400,000. It is us, Arabs, who did it. It is not the Israel that implanted Islamic extremism in the East and the West. It is our mosques, it is the books we worship, it is the Imams we follow, it is what we learn and what we teach. It is not the West that forces us to treat women like commodities. It is our people. And most of all, it is not the West or Israel that doesn’t value Arab lives. It is us, Arabs, who do not value human life. If we do not admit to ourselves that WE are the problem, that WE are refusing to progress, and that WE need to change – then change will never happen, blood will keep flowing, and we will never know peace. How do we expect the world and the International Community to respect us, when we don’t respect ourselves?

As Arabs, we need to understand that Israel and the West are not our oppressors or enemies. We, Arabs, are our own worst enemies. We, Arabs, are our greatest oppressors. We, Arabs, have killed and oppressed a million times more of our people than the West and Israel can ever do. It is not Israel that married off my mother when she was a child. It is my people who did. It is not the West or Israel that has been bombing Yemen for the past decade and killed 400,000. It is us, Arabs, who did it. It is not the Israel that implanted Islamic extremism in the East and the West. It is our mosques, it is the books we worship, it is the Imams we follow, it is what we learn and what we teach. It is not the West that forces us to treat women like commodities. It is our people. And most of all, it is not the West or Israel that doesn’t value Arab lives. It is us, Arabs, who do not value human life. If we do not admit to ourselves that WE are the problem, that WE are refusing to progress, and that WE need to change – then change will never happen, blood will keep flowing, and we will never know peace. How do we expect the world and the International Community to respect us, when we don’t respect ourselves?

More incredible footage from the construction of the Empire State Building in 1932! Americans are some of the smartest, toughest, and most resilient people on the planet. We owe it all to our great grandfathers who built this country and fought to keep it free! Unfortunately, many of them are now not being treated with the respect they deserve. That is why I will continue to advocate for Justice for the victims of Camp Lejeune! Truly a heartbreaking story - I put all the information in the quoted post.
