These anti-nuclear lobbyist are lying with impunity about nuclear destroying tourism & the Eastern Cape economy. France has dozens of nuclear plants, yet millions still flock to Paris & coastal areas every year. Nuclear has never killed tourism. Facts: Nuclear plants create economic magnets. Construction draws workers, engineers &...

🚨 TRUMP JUST CONFIRMED: IRAN WAS WEEKS AWAY FROM A NUCLEAR WEAPON. HERE'S WHAT THAT MEANS. 🚨 Trump just said on camera: "If we didn't hit within 2 weeks, they would've had a NUCLEAR WEAPON. When crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen." Let that sink in. This is the first time a sitting U.S. president has publicly confirmed how CLOSE Iran was to going nuclear. 💀 450 kg of 60%-enriched uranium — CONFIRMED by Axios 💀 Convertible to weapons grade "within WEEKS" 💀 The U.S. and Israel are now discussing sending SPECIAL FORCES into Iran to seize it 💀 Nuclear experts may be brought in to DILUTE it on-site 💀 This would happen at a "later stage of the war" ⚠️ If Iran was truly weeks away — this war wasn't optional. It was a COUNTDOWN. ⚠️ Every day of delay = one day closer to a nuclear-armed Iran ⚠️ A nuclear Iran changes the ENTIRE balance of power in the Middle East — permanently ⚠️ Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt would all race to build their OWN — triggering a nuclear arms race They're showing you the war's destruction — the missiles, the drones, the oil fires. They're NOT showing you what the world would look like if this war DIDN'T happen — a nuclear-armed Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz with the ability to hold the global economy HOSTAGE forever. Here's the real question nobody is asking: If Iran was 2 weeks from a nuke → and the war has now been going for 9 days → and Iran STILL has half its missile program → and special forces haven't gone in yet → is the uranium still THERE? The clock didn't stop when the bombs started falling. It's STILL ticking. This isn't just a war for oil or influence. This is a race against TIME to stop the most dangerous weapon on Earth from ending up in the most volatile region on Earth. And we don't know if they're winning that race. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 If this helped you understand what's really at stake, follow + RT. 🚨

THE REAL REASON EUROPE IS DEINDUSTRIALIZING Everyone argues about German green targets and the nuclear phase-out. Almost nobody starts with the missing fuel. Nord Stream 1 and 2 were built for 110 billion cubic meters a year. That is about 1,200 terawatt-hours of heat, or roughly 600 TWh of electricity. Call it 80 nuclear plants. No industrial economy absorbs that loss and stays the same. THE ENERGY THAT VANISHED ➡️ Combined design capacity of Nord Stream 1 and 2 was 110 bcm a year. ➡️ That is ~1,200 TWh thermal and ~600 TWh electric. ➡️ 600 TWh is France’s nuclear fleet plus about twenty more reactors. ➡️ After the pipelines were destroyed, that firm energy base was gone. 40 GAS PLANTS SHORT BY 2030 ➡️Germany's coal-exit law demanded a mid-August report on whether the power system still works without coal. That report never came. The reason is not a paperwork delay. ➡️Officials already know the replacement gas plants are not secured, prices will rise. ➡️ The grid agency and the ministry already admit the gap: 40 gas plants missing by 2030, 70 by 2035. THE KILL SWITCH: BERLIN'S BACKUP PLAN IS CUTTING FACTORIES ➡️ The quiet backup is not new baseload. It is a platform to order factories down when the grid is about to fail. ➡️ Plants above roughly 8 GWh a year must register. In a November wind drought they lose power, without compensation. ➡️ Homes stay on. Industry takes the cut. THE BOTTOM LINE Green slogans and the nuclear exit are the debate. The arithmetic is the cause. Europe lost an energy base the size of 80 reactors, then kept dismantling what was left. Eighty missing plants do not lie. A rich industrial country that plans to shut its factories when the wind stops is sending one signal to the world: do not build here.

Good morning, Santa Monica. Some news you need to know. The City Council just voted unanimously on June 9th to accept a $2 million federal grant (taxpayer money) plus a $506,000 local match to study capping or even removing the I-10 between 11th and 20th Streets for a park. We have crumbling roads and delayed infrastructure projects, yet we're spending millions on consultants while real needs go unmet. Similar lids cost over $100 million and take up to 4 years to build. The I-10 carries around 150,000 vehicles daily and brings in roughly 60-70% of our workforce, over 50,000 commuters. This will worsen traffic, increase stress on workers, and hurt our economy. Tourism brought in nearly $997 million last year and supports over 6,400 local jobs. We're still only at about 50% of our peak tourism employment from 2019. More gridlock will drive visitors away, threatening these jobs that so many people rely on. It could also cut off Malibu's critical connection to the interstate, affecting emergency services during fire evacuations. This is the wrong priority. What do you think? 🚨 Share your thoughts below.

Here's my full testimony and transcript from the House Science Committee hearing today. Grateful for the opportunity to share our story. -- Chairman Weber, Ranking Member Ross, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify. Less than three years ago, Aalo Atomics was two people. Today, we are 200, and we are about to expand into a MILLION square foot manufacturing facility. On the 4th of July, at 12:20 a.m. near Idaho National Lab, we brought our first reactor to initial criticality. We moved from groundbreaking to a sustained nuclear chain reaction in less than eight months. The reactor used a full-scale core, representative of our 10-megawatt-electric commercial design. One year ago, the Department of Energy established a clear authorization pathway, and set deadlines. Aalo brought the design, the team, the capital, and the execution. Together, we demonstrated that America can build and test new reactors quickly. This work matters. Aalo is developing a critically important technology for the US people: sodium reactors, starting in the thermal spectrum, and eventually expanding to the fast spectrum. With this latter technology, we will be able to use nuclear waste as fuel. Few people realize that there is as much energy contained in US nuclear waste as there is in Global known Oil and Gas reserves. Additionally, the volume of nuclear waste would be reduced significantly by using it as fuel. Lastly, by unlocking Thorium and U-238, we can extend the usable lifespan of nuclear fuel on earth from 100 years, to millions of years. Sodium fast breeder technology unlocks all these things, and Aalo will push hard to make this a reality. To do this, we need HALEU, 20% enriched fuel. Fortunately, that supply chain is getting spun up as we speak by several great American companies. In the meantime, we are using off-the-shelf UO2, LEU. Why? Because the nation has a far more pressing challenge than dealing with nuclear waste, or the limitations of oil and gas in the long term. Artificial Intelligence has arisen in the past 3 years, and is now accelerating faster than ever. AI is an incredibly important national security issue. It is imperative that we not lose to China on this massively impactful technology. The best way to power the development of more AI is with nuclear. Advanced nuclear needs no water, uses a small amount of land, is clean, baseload, and we are proving that it can be affordable and fast to deploy. By using off-the-shelf UO2 fuel, Aalo’s reactors will be able to scale rapidly to meet the growing demand of AI. And thanks to the choice of sodium as our coolant, we will have a very compact, mass-manufacturable design. We are excited to continue working hard to bring these incredible technologies to bear for the American people. Based on our experience, I would offer Congress three priorities to help us continue this momentum. First, ensure that the DOE's Reactor Pilot Program remains a durable pathway, connecting the dots from initial criticality through to sustained full-power operations. Second, ensure that the demonstration data generated under DOE oversight can be credited or adopted in subsequent NRC licensing. Third, continue supporting the full-stack domestic nuclear fuel cycle, including advanced fuels such as HALEU, and ultimately recycling and waste burning. America pioneered much of the world’s nuclear technology. We now have an opportunity to lead again. We are grateful to Congress, the Administration, Secretary Wright, Bob Boston, the Department of Energy, Idaho National Lab, and the career public servants who helped make our demonstration possible. Aalo intends to repay that trust by building reactors, factories, creating American jobs, and by helping restore U.S. leadership in nuclear energy. Thank you.

Follow the money. If you want to know why the Australian Labor Party is indulging in a childish scare campaign against nuclear energy, follow the money. This pathetic Labor scare campaign is an insult to the intelligence of every Australian. If Labor was truly against nuclear energy on principle, it would cancel any arrangements to purchase nuclear-powered submarines and it would dismantle the nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney. However, we know Labor has no principles other than doing the bidding of the union thugs who fund them. This appears to be the ultimate reason behind Labor’s anti-nuclear scare campaign. Labor provides billions of dollars of grants, subsidies and incentives to support renewable energy investments. Between them and the Coalition, this has cost taxpayers $29 billion in the past 10 years. Labor enforces regulations and mandates which enforce a guaranteed market for renewable energy. Industry superannuation funds controlled by Labor’s union bosses invest heavily in these renewables projects, and why not? It’s underwritten by taxpayers thanks to Labor, guaranteeing a lucrative return for these union-controlled super funds. These lucrative returns are then used to support the Labor Party with large donations. It was no coincidence that in December 2023, union-controlled industry super funds demanded even more “favourable investment conditions” underwritten by taxpayers for the transition to net zero. These funds included CBUS, chaired by former Labor treasurer Wayne Swan, and AustralianSuper, with close ties to former Labor prime minister Paul Keating. I’ll highlight a few more union affiliations among the current Labor cabinet: • Bill Shorten and the AWU • Tony Burke and the SDA in New South Wales • Don Farrell and the SDA in South Australia • Katy Gallagher and the CPSU • Pat Conroy – the CFMEU and the AMWU • Richard Marles and the ACTU It’s insidious how much unions have infiltrated this Parliament, and how it compromises good government. This is a scam paid for by the Australian taxpayer with subsidies, and by Australian consumers with their record high energy bills. Labor and its union masters don’t want this corrupt gravy train derailed by nuclear energy. That’s why they’ve come out swinging against it, while once again showing their absolute contempt for the intelligence of the Australian people. Fortunately, Australians are smart enough not to fall for Labor’s pathetic scare campaign of three-eyed fish memes. Australians understand that nuclear power is safely used at 450 sites around the world in 32 countries. Australia is the only advanced economy in the world which doesn’t make use of this proven technology, despite having at least a quarter of the planet’s proven uranium reserves. This important natural advantage to Australia is being squandered. It makes absolutely no sense that Australia – one of the world’s most energy-rich countries – is facing energy shortages this winter and has some of the highest energy prices in the world. That is, unless you follow the money trail. Labor and the unions are orchestrating a massive scam on the Australian people, and the price of it will be our economy and our standard of living. This scam and the destruction it is causing must be exposed and stopped. Nuclear energy is a beginning, but uranium is just one of Australia’s natural advantages. We also have abundant reserves of coal and natural gas. All of these natural advantages should be utilised in an independent energy policy that prioritises affordability and reliability over climate change ideology. The Prime Minister’s inability to stand up to unions has been exposed by thugs like John Setka. The Prime Minister’s weakness has been further exposed by Senator Payman, who has escaped any serious sanction for crossing the floor against Labor policy last week. Why are we allowing this union-Labor renewables scam to happen? Is it to arrest climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions? Because if it is, that’s not working. Global emissions continue to rise, another indicator of the union-Labor renewables scam. They will rise no matter what Australia does, no matter how many coal mines and power stations we close, no matter how many wind turbines and solar panels pollute the Australian landscape.

The Devil Boats are on the other side now. When we look at the Iran context, we need to dig deeper. The American fleet stationed there has 3-4 times more firepower than Israel had during those 12 days, but that shouldn’t be the main point. The real issue is the clash between two completely different naval doctrines: global power projection with large ships versus the mosquito fleet with its much smaller, even micro vessels, but armed with missiles. And there’s no assumption that these small craft are vulnerable to drones and air strikes, quite the opposite. Some of them are specifically dedicated to anti-air defense. I’m talking about an entire navy built around this concept facing a conventional navy. In the drone era, this would be the first time something like this happens on this scale. The Americans know this strategy very well. In their Civil War, the Confederates inflicted serious damage on the Union’s big ships using the mosquito fleet, a tactic later reused against the Japanese in World War II with the PT boats attacking large destroyers and cruisers, earning the nickname “Devil Boats” from the Japanese themselves. The Americans know exactly how dangerous these fleets can be, especially one as vast as Iran’s and backed by shore-based anti-missile batteries. The entire situation is asymmetric for the Persians, who are under heavy sanctions. They face two nuclear powers with strong air forces against a country that barely has an air force, but possesses one of the largest missile arsenals on the planet. That’s why this mosquito fleet has to be respected, not because of the boats themselves, but because of what they carry. And we’re talking about a base of 1,600-2,000 missile launchers, which is a considerable force. Iran is not Venezuela, where you can just hand out money and a corrupt regime delivers the president to you. Not that there isn’t corruption in Iran, I believe it’s actually quite high, but corrupting the senior officer corps is a far more complex situation in a much larger country and already intimidated by intelligence OPs. Whenever a non-nuclear nation faces a nuclear power, it is at a considerable disadvantage. The question is: how much punishment can one side absorb before consider the use of nuclear weapons, even at the tactical level? A tactical nuclear missile would leave radiation for a short period, maybe two months or less, limited to a short area. That fear will always linger in this kind of asymmetric confrontation. Let see if more forces will join these US ships.

The Iran is a major player and is planning something. After the US issued an ultimatum, NATO simply withdrew from the negotiations, forcing the American team to back down and hold a meeting in Oman focused solely on the nuclear issue. The truth is that Iran is in a comfortable position because it knows the difficulties of an attack. All American bases in the region are within range of waves of Iranian short-range missiles, of which Iran has a large quantity. Moreover, the American naval force is still insufficient for attacks on Iran, especially facing difficulties against Iran's long-range anti-ship missiles. This situation has American strategists considering long-distance attacks, with aerial refueling similar to what Israel did during the 12-day war. An expensive operation, but perhaps the only feasible one. The US has increased shipments to their bases, and they're also playing a game where I see conflict very close. However, there's another issue: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which would create a collapse in global energy trade, and Iran won't hesitate to do it if its survival depends on it. How to deal with all these issues without resolving two main points: 1 - Regime change 2 - The destruction of the nuclear program Both can only be done with boots on the ground. About the nuclear program, I wrote here about why only the Iranians can stop it: Both the Israelis and the Americans knew this. What we saw was an orchestrated show, where Israel wasn't satisfied, but without ammunition and with missiles hitting its economic center, it didn't see itself in a position to continue the war alone. As for the fall of the government, that's something much more complex. There are 1 million active military, not counting the scattered guerrillas and the Houthis who would land in Tehran to help. I believe this scenario has already been discarded by the Americans. But the nuclear issue won't be discarded, as it's a key point for Israel. Given the numerous Iranian statements about the destruction of Israel, how can the country feel at ease with its neighbor now having a nuclear weapon? For Netanyahu's administration, if that happens, it would be an unimaginable defeat. And that's a problem for the big players. With 440kg of uranium enriched to 60%, Iran is weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon, for which it already has at least 4 models of dual-capable missiles ready to carry it. A solution emerged: send this uranium to Russia and keep it under Moscow's custody. Personally, I think the Iranians are buying time. They wouldn't trust the Russians, who are known to have close ties with Israel. On three occasions, the Russians stalled Iran: In 2007 with the S-300, which were only delivered after 9 years; In 2016 with the Su-30, which were announced by both sides but never materialized; In 2021, Iran allegedly ordered 50 Su-35 and paid for them, without receiving any. The negotiation dragged on until 2023 when a big deal was supposedly sealed. But to this day, Iran hasn't received any Su-35. Only MiG-29s. The ties between the Russian and Israeli defense industries were forged by Soviet emigration, and today 1 in every 5 Israelis speaks Russian at home. I find it unlikely that Iran would really accept Moscow holding custody of that uranium.

The Iran is a major player and is planning something. After the US issued an ultimatum, NATO simply withdrew from the negotiations, forcing the American team to back down and hold a meeting in Oman focused solely on the nuclear issue. The truth is that Iran is in a comfortable position because it knows the difficulties of an attack. All American bases in the region are within range of waves of Iranian short-range missiles, of which Iran has a large quantity. Moreover, the American naval force is still insufficient for attacks on Iran, especially facing difficulties against Iran's long-range anti-ship missiles. This situation has American strategists considering long-distance attacks, with aerial refueling similar to what Israel did during the 12-day war. An expensive operation, but perhaps the only feasible one. The US has increased shipments to their bases, and they're also playing a game where I see conflict very close. However, there's another issue: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which would create a collapse in global energy trade, and Iran won't hesitate to do it if its survival depends on it. How to deal with all these issues without resolving two main points: 1 - Regime change 2 - The destruction of the nuclear program Both can only be done with boots on the ground. About the nuclear program, I wrote here about why only the Iranians can stop it: Both the Israelis and the Americans knew this. What we saw was an orchestrated show, where Israel wasn't satisfied, but without ammunition and with missiles hitting its economic center, it didn't see itself in a position to continue the war alone. As for the fall of the government, that's something much more complex. There are 1 million active military, not counting the scattered guerrillas and the Houthis who would land in Tehran to help. I believe this scenario has already been discarded by the Americans. But the nuclear issue won't be discarded, as it's a key point for Israel. Given the numerous Iranian statements about the destruction of Israel, how can the country feel at ease with its neighbor now having a nuclear weapon? For Netanyahu's administration, if that happens, it would be an unimaginable defeat. And that's a problem for the big players. With 440kg of uranium enriched to 60%, Iran is weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon, for which it already has at least 4 models of dual-capable missiles ready to carry it. A solution emerged: send this uranium to Russia and keep it under Moscow's custody. Personally, I think the Iranians are buying time. They wouldn't trust the Russians, who are known to have close ties with Israel. On three occasions, the Russians stalled Iran: In 2007 with the S-300, which were only delivered after 9 years; In 2016 with the Su-30, which were announced by both sides but never materialized; In 2021, Iran allegedly ordered 50 Su-35 and paid for them, without receiving any. The negotiation dragged on until 2023 when a big deal was supposedly sealed. But to this day, Iran hasn't received any Su-35. Only MiG-29s. The ties between the Russian and Israeli defense industries were forged by Soviet emigration, and today 1 in every 5 Israelis speaks Russian at home. I find it unlikely that Iran would really accept Moscow holding custody of that uranium.

The biggest power grab since Standard Oil is happening today and almost nobody is paying attention. Tech companies are building their own power grid. They're about to produce more electricity than entire COUNTRIES. Right now at the White House, CEOs from Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI are signing a pledge that most people will scroll past. But it might be the most important business deal of the decade. They're committing to build, bring, or buy 100% of their own electricity for every new AI data center. Their own power plants. Their own transmission lines. Their own energy infrastructure. These are SOFTWARE companies agreeing to become power utilities. Here's why this matters for everyone reading this: By the end of this year, at least 5 US data centers will each consume over 1 gigawatt of continuous power. 1 gigawatt powers 850,000 homes. 5 of these facilities will use more electricity than some entire countries. The US grid physically cannot handle it. Capacity prices in the PJM grid, which covers 13 states, exploded from $28.92 per megawatt-day to $329.17 in just two years. That's literally a 1,000% increase. So what do you do when the grid can't support you? You stop using the grid. Amazon is buying nuclear reactors. Microsoft restarted Three Mile Island. Meta signed 20-year nuclear deals. Chevron is building a 2.5 gigawatt natural gas plant in West Texas specifically to power data centers. These companies aren't supplementing the grid. They're replacing it. For themselves. Think about what's actually happening here: 7 companies now control more computing power than most governments. And today they're signing paperwork to control their own energy supply too. Computing. Data. Energy. Infrastructure. That's not a "tech" company anymore. A Harvard energy law professor already called the pledge "meaningless" because utilities in PJM are spending tens of billions on power projects for data centers and those costs are STILL being spread across ratepayers anyway. The pledge has zero legal teeth. No enforcement mechanism. No compliance monitoring. No penalty for breaking it. It's a political move designed to get tech companies through the midterms without becoming the villain of every campaign ad about electricity bills. But the underlying shift is real and irreversible: Tech companies are becoming energy companies. Energy companies are becoming AI infrastructure. And the line between Big Tech and Big Energy is about to disappear completely. The big question here: When seven companies control both the world's intelligence AND the power that runs it, who exactly is governing who?

China has banned the export of all dual-use items to Japanese military users and for Japan’s military use. The aim is to contain Japan’s remilitarization and its attempt to possess nuclear weapons, said the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sanae Takaichi lamented at the G7 that China’s rare earth sanctions are affecting Japan’s economy. This is the same person who openly threatened China by saying that “a Taiwan emergency is a Japan emergency.” A defeated fascist state, once disarmed by the anti-fascist order after turning Asia into a slaughterhouse, is now trying to insert itself into China’s internal affairs and present that as “security.” Then when China responds with economic measures, Japan plays the victim. Classic. Japan should be glad that China is not the United States. If a foreign leader said “a Cuba emergency is our emergency” to Washington, the U.S. would not respond with polite export controls. It would call it a national security threat, sanction everyone involved, send warships, threaten regime change, and may even kidnap that leader and his family within a week, drag them back to the United States, and try them on drug trafficking charges. Trump attacked Iran for months under the excuse that Iran must not even have the chance to build a nuclear weapon. Iran did not say “Cuba is our emergency.” Iran did not invade the U.S. Iran did not station forces near Florida. Yet Washington bombed Tehran, assassinated Khamenei, blockaded Hormuz, and called it security. Japan, meanwhile, openly links itself to Taiwan, challenges China’s sovereignty, pushes remilitarization, flirts with nuclear ambitions, and then cries when China restricts dual-use exports. Japan should understand one thing very clearly: China’s economic measures are restraint. Perhaps too restrained. That is exactly why Japan dares to challenge China’s core red lines of sovereignty again and again. In the end, a defeated militarist power does not get to threaten the victorious country, interfere in its territorial question, and then demand uninterrupted access to strategic materials. If Japan wants stable relations with China, it should stop pretending dialogue means China staying silent while Tokyo rearms, provokes, and hides behind the G7. China is indeed not the United States. That is why Japan is still being warned through economic tools instead of being treated the way Washington treats countries that cross its red lines.

Full remarks from President Donald J. Trump regarding Iran during tonight’s State of the Union: “As President, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will never hesitate to confront threats to America wherever we must. That's why in a breakthrough operation last June, the United States military obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program with an attack on Iranian soil known as Operation Midnight Hammer. For decades, it had been the policy of the United States never to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Many decades. Since they seized control of that proud nation 47 years ago, the regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate. They've killed and maimed thousands of American service members and hundreds of thousands and even millions of people - with what's called roadside bombs. They were the kings of the roadside bomb. And we took out Soleimani. I did that during my first term. Had a huge impact. He was the father of the roadside bomb. And just over the last couple of months with the protests, they've killed at least, it looks like, 32,000 protesters. 32,000 protesters in their own country. They shot them and hung them. We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence. But this is some terrible people. They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas and they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program in a particular area - nuclear weapons, yet they continue starting it all over. We wiped it out and they want to start all over again and are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions. We are in negotiations with them. They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words: ‘We will never have a nuclear weapon.’ My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But one thing is certain: I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen. And no nation should ever doubt America's result. We have the most powerful military on Earth. I rebuilt the military in my first term. We're going to continue to do so also, which is to prove the trillion-dollar budget. We have no choice. We have to be strong. because hopefully we will seldom have to use this great power that we built together. It's really called peace through strength, and it's been very, very effective. So thanks to Republicans in Congress, we're investing that record number of dollars, have no choice, in the United States Armed Forces. We're also creating a lot of jobs, but we're not even doing it for that reason. Because, as I said, we have more jobs, more people working today than ever before in the history of our country. And NATO countries are friends and allies. They are. They're our friends and they're our allies. They’ve just agreed, at my very strong request, to pay 5% of GDP for military defense rather than the 2%, which they weren't paying. We were paying for almost all of NATO. Now they're paying 5 as opposed to not paying 5.” Video credit: Luke Brenner

The man who won the Nobel Prize just told the world that AI is not the energy crisis, it is the cure for it. Everyone has been screaming about how much electricity AI consumes, the data centers, the training runs, the billions of queries every single day. Hassabis just said AI will extract 30 to 40 percent more efficiency out of national power grids, grids that, right now, operate at only 30 percent of their total capacity according to Stanford researchers. That means the grids we already built are massively underused, and AI is the key to unlocking what is already there. But that is the smallest part of what he is saying. He is saying AI will crack nuclear fusion, the energy source that has been 30 years away for the last 60 years and DeepMind is already working with Commonwealth Fusion in the US to help AI contain plasma inside fusion reactors. His personal mission is to use AI to discover a room-temperature superconductor, a material that would allow electricity to travel with zero loss, something physics has never been able to deliver. The implications of that alone would reshape the entire global economy overnight. He is also saying AI will design next-generation batteries and build the best climate modeling systems humanity has ever had, using them to figure out exactly where the planet is breaking down. Think about what this means, the thing everyone is blaming for the energy crisis is the same thing being bet on to end it forever.

Even the rat is squealing: putin’s chief propagandist finally admits the ship is sinking. Things are getting dire when putin’s chief lapdog, Vladimir Solovyov, stops barking about nuclear strikes for five seconds to actually look at Russia’s economy. He delivers a strikingly blunt critique of Russia’s current economic strategy. He specifically targets the Central Bank’s policies, arguing that the methods being used to combat inflation are actually "suffocating" the domestic economy and threatening the country's industrial future. "I just don’t understand. I don’t understand what the banks are offering. They say they are fighting inflation. But they aren't fighting inflation, they are suffocating the economy. They are killing the growth of the manufacturing sector. Everyone has been lying. Everyone has been lying for years, saying that our economy is stable, that everything is fine. But it isn't fine. We are seeing a primitive experiment that will end in the bankruptcy of thousands of companies and businesses. These are the very businesses that were supposed to contribute to the prosperity of our country. How are we supposed to develop the military-industrial complex, energy, AI, and new materials without 'cheap money'? You can't. The interest rates are killing us. We are witnessing the self-strangulation of our own economy. Look at the numbers. While the U.S. is seeing growth, we are stagnating around zero. Our coal industry, our metallurgy, our shipping—it's all 'lying down’. Even the oil sector is struggling. And we can't keep writing this off as 'the plan.' It’s time to admit that the methods from the 70s aren't working in 2026. If we don't change course, we are simply turning everything we painstakingly accumulated in 2022 and 2023 into shit." But don’t be fooled. Solovyov’s “admission" is usually a calculated political maneuver rather than a betrayal of putin and the Kremlin. The intent is to protect putin and the regime by providing a convenient target (Central Bank) for people's economic misery. Nevertheless, the "mess" is real, but in Solovyov's narrative, the cause isn't putin, the war or the sanctions. It’s the Central Bank (CBR) Elvira Nabiullina (CBR Head). He portrays her as a "Western-style technocrat" who is sabotaging the Russian "Victory" by keeping interest rates high. By blaming the "lying" officials and the bankers, Solovyov keeps putin above the fray. The implication is: "The Tsar is good, but the ministers are corrupt and incompetent”.

🚨LUNACY IN THE EXTREME 🚨Russians Aren't Bluffing. 🚨They Don't Bluff. 🚨The Russians Are Highly Responsible. Scott Ritter: The United States and NATO employ what we call today intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets over Ukraine and around Ukraine. The United States was directly involved in the targeting of this. Now, the question is, why would the United States do this? And I come back to one of my built-in assumptions is that we think the Russians are bluffing. We believe that if we can put enough pressure on Russia, that we will cause the Russians to quickly seek the negotiating table to bring an end to this conflict. A lot of what we have been doing against the Russians, using the Ukrainians as proxies, and so these attacks that have been made against Russia's critical infrastructure, attacks made against Russian civilian targets, are all designed to wear down the resolve of the Russian government so they would respond to this pressure. This is lunacy in the extreme. Russia has a nuclear posture which clearly states that when its critical nuclear infrastructure is placed under threat, to include nuclear threat or conventional threat, that this warrants a threat of existential nature that can legitimately give Russia the green light to use their nuclear weapons in response. Russians aren't bluffing. They don't bluff. The Russians are highly responsible. They have a very mature posture and very mature leadership.bVladimir Putin's been in power for 25 years. You get to know the lay of the land during that time. He is comfortable with where Russia is. He is comfortable with who Russia is, and he is comfortable with Russia's place in the world. He is not going to throw away a quarter of a century's work on a whim, on an urge, on miscalculation. But at the end of the day, when he is confronted with an existential threat, he will respond in accordance with Russian doctrine, and that means nuclear weapons. This is a gross miscalculation on the part of the Ukrainians, on the part of the United States, and on the part of all the allies that we have tried to bring together to put this pressure on Russia. We don't understand Russia, the best thing we can do as Americans is to begin talking which is why I believe to the Russians, begin listening to the Russians, begin learning about the Russians so that we better understand who they are, what they are, what they want, and we can make responsible policies based upon that. “The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.” ― Otto von Bismarck Jeffrey Sachs: Don't go to Kiev. Go to Moscow. Discuss with your counterparts. Are you kidding? You're Europe. You're 450 million people. You're 20 trillion dollar economy. You should be the main economic trading partner of Russia. It's natural links. By the way, if anyone would like to discuss how the U.S. blew up Nord Stream, I'd be happy to talk about that. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter was correct when he repeatedly stated before the 2003 invasion that Iraq had no active weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs. Ritter maintained that Iraq had been fundamentally disarmed of its nuclear, chemical, and biological arsenals during the 1990s. For years, Ritter, chief UN inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 98, has maintained that Iraq's nuclear weapons program was defunct. Current evidence from David Kay's investigation confirms this. Yet Kay stated in his report on the Iraqi Survey Group's progress that "we were all wrong," ignoring the differing opinions of many UN workers. Ritter argues that Kay's statement protects the Bush Administration from allegations that it misled the public in regard to Iraq's weapons capabilities. While Kay places the blame on the the intelligence community, an interpretation Bush has also embraced, Ritter claims that the fault lies in how the scant evidence meant to justify a war was interpreted. "We knew the truth about Iraq's WMD. Sadly, no one listened," says Ritter.

🚨LUNACY IN THE EXTREME 🚨Russians Aren't Bluffing. 🚨They Don't Bluff. 🚨The Russians Are Highly Responsible. Scott Ritter: The United States and NATO employ what we call today intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets over Ukraine and around Ukraine. The United States was directly involved in the targeting of this. Now, the question is, why would the United States do this? And I come back to one of my built-in assumptions is that we think the Russians are bluffing. We believe that if we can put enough pressure on Russia, that we will cause the Russians to quickly seek the negotiating table to bring an end to this conflict. A lot of what we have been doing against the Russians, using the Ukrainians as proxies, and so these attacks that have been made against Russia's critical infrastructure, attacks made against Russian civilian targets, are all designed to wear down the resolve of the Russian government so they would respond to this pressure. This is lunacy in the extreme. Russia has a nuclear posture which clearly states that when its critical nuclear infrastructure is placed under threat, to include nuclear threat or conventional threat, that this warrants a threat of existential nature that can legitimately give Russia the green light to use their nuclear weapons in response. Russians aren't bluffing. They don't bluff. The Russians are highly responsible. They have a very mature posture and very mature leadership.bVladimir Putin's been in power for 25 years. You get to know the lay of the land during that time. He is comfortable with where Russia is. He is comfortable with who Russia is, and he is comfortable with Russia's place in the world. He is not going to throw away a quarter of a century's work on a whim, on an urge, on miscalculation. But at the end of the day, when he is confronted with an existential threat, he will respond in accordance with Russian doctrine, and that means nuclear weapons.

In One Nation's Budget Reply, I outlined our vision of hope for the future. I have so much to say about saving this country that I ran out of time to say all of it. Watch my full budget reply and read a copy of what I wasn't able to fit in below: "We are covering our land with windmills and solar panels and in turn delivering the dearest and most precarious electricity grid our nation has ever had, when we had the cheapest coal fired power and sitting on one of the greatest coal resources in the globe. One Nation does not care about major party sneers. We care about handing our children a better opportunity than was handed to us by our parents, currently it is the other way around. One Nation will reallocate the resources from the fool's errand of Australia changing the weather to invest in coal fired power, nuclear, irrigation, freight, rail, ports and roads. We will work with businesses as partners in these projects. One Nation will listen to civil engineers, nuclear physicists, and research scientists in medicine instead of climate change bureaucrats. These assets on our nations balance sheet allows us to pay for expenses on the Profit and Loss. These assets build a nation that can repay its debts. One Nation is offering a fundamentally different direction -one rooted in proven, common sense economic principles. We'll lower taxes on working families, slash regulation that strangles enterprise, deliver abundant and affordable energy, and back the industries that actually create real wealth and opportunity. We will never pretend we know better than you how to run your own lives. That is why we are determined to hand power back to the Australian people where it belongs. We will reward hard work and aspiration, restore fiscal discipline, and put Australian families and businesses first once again. One Nation's word is our bond - and we have three decades of unwavering policy consistency to prove it. We hope to earn your trust to implement the bold change Australia desperately needs. Thank you."
