The #USA already has within its legal system everything it needs to end the war and reopen the #StraitOfHormuz. Here's how:

1. Return to the House, vacate the Speakership, and elect a new Speaker who'd be willing to do what's necessary (perhaps #ThomasMassie, who's one of the only Republicans apparently not controlled by the Epstein class).
2. Impeach, convict, and remove every #SCOTUS judge who committed perjury in their confirmation hearing or who's ever taken a bribe.
3. Impeach, convict, and remove Donald Trump and his criminal cabinet (including the criminal AG: replace her with #JackSmith).
4. Arrest, charge, and convict #DonaldTrump, #PeteHegseth, and other perpetrators under 18 USC §241, §242, §1111, and other applicable offences, and seek the maximum penalty for every offence. (For military officer perpetrators, analogous #UCMJ charges may be necessary.)
5. Commit to carrying out applicable sentences for all convictions.

If a new slate of #US diplomats can promise #Iran the results of step 5, for enough of the perpetrators, they could restore the peace and the flow of fertilizer.

One more step may also be necessary: Seize all profits of every entity—corporate or individual—who profited from those crimes, forfeit as proceeds of crime, to deter future corporate complicity. Disperse those funds to victims' families as reparations.

In the end, considering how the Iranian government seems to think, a comparable number of American perpetrators—starting with those with the most power, thus the most responsibility—may need receive the due sentence for the (at least) 260 counts of murder of children to date.

That would be more than fair: What's a small bunch of Nazi politicians and oligarchs in exchange for food for hundreds of millions of innocent American citizens, such as all those patriots opposing the war?

"Judging by the metrics of conventional conflict, Iran is not faring well against the United States and Israel. Its adversaries are destroying crucial targets in Iran, killing its commanders and degrading its military assets. But these are the wrong measures for assessing Iran’s position in the war. The right measure is not even an assessment of whether Iran is absorbing punishment well—which it is. The question that will matter when the fighting ends is whether Tehran is achieving its strategic objectives. And on that count, Iran is winning.

This outcome is not accidental. Tehran has been preparing for this war for nearly four decades, since the new revolutionary government faced its first major military test in the Iran-Iraq War, which lasted from 1980 to 1988. And it is now executing a strategy that has managed to neutralize key U.S. and Israeli air defense batteries, severely damage U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf, inflict substantial economic pain, and drive a wedge between the United States and its Gulf allies. The Iranian regime, in other words, is not just surviving the U.S. and Israeli bombardment. The serious economic and political problems it is creating for its adversaries are, on a strategic level, giving Iran the upper hand."

"A month into the war in the Middle East, an unlikely shortage of an irreplaceable gas is looming over the global economy.
Helium is a gas that is odorless, colorless and lighter than air. It is also indispensable to manufacturing the computer chips that power artificial intelligence, an important driver of U.S. markets and economic growth.

A byproduct of natural gas processing, helium is produced mainly in the United States and Qatar. When output in Qatar was halted this month, it cut off roughly a third of the global supply. The outlook worsened last week after Iran struck Qatar’s largest liquefied natural gas facility, damaging helium production lines that could take years to rebuild.

Without helium, leading chip makers, including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, could struggle to keep production lines running, with cascading effects for semiconductor-powered devices from Apple’s iPhones to Nvidia’s A.I. servers.

Helium may be best known for keeping balloons afloat, but its industrial uses are far more consequential. As the coldest liquid on earth, it cools superconducting magnets in M.R.I. machines. A shortage could ripple far beyond chip making, affecting everything from scientific research to space travel.

Semiconductor companies rely on helium at multiple stages of chip manufacturing. As intricate machines etch tiny circuits onto thin wafers of silicon, helium cools them from below to maintain the right temperature. After the wafers are washed with chemicals, helium is used to flush out toxic residue."

Steht nun ein #Verbot von #Linux - Distributionen bevor? Digitale Souveränität In Gefahr?

Ich nutze Linux - seit über Jahren. Genau das soll jetzt illegal werden! In der #EU allen voran wieder einmal #Deutschland aber auch in den #USA ! Vielleicht auch bald in der Schweiz , wenn die Billateralen III angenommen werden!

Nicht Linux selbst soll illegal werden aber das, wofür es steht: Ein System einrichten, ohne jemandem zu beweisen, wie alt du bist, ohne dich zu identifizieren, ohne dich zu registrieren!

Gesetzgeber in der EU, den USA und insbesondere natürlich im woken Deutschen Bundestag arbeiten gerade gleichzeitig an Gesetzen, die jedes Betriebssystem zwingen sollen, bei der Einrichtung dein Alter abzufragen. Und ja - das schließt Linux mit ein.

Ich hab mir mein System so gebaut, wie ich es will, mit den Tools die ich will, ohne dass mir irgendjemand reinredet. Das ist digitale Souveränität. Und die steht jetzt zur Disposition!

Brisant: Das Ganze wird wie so viele staatliche Überwachungstools verkauft als Kinderschutz.

Aber Achtung: Das hat mit Kinderschutz ungefähr so viel zu tun wie es Epstein hatte!

Teilt das bitte unbedingt! Denn der Algorithmus wird es blocken, denn es ist ein neues Überwachungsgesetz, das ganz leise unter dem Deckmantel des "Kinderschutzes" quasi gerade weltweit eingeführt wird!

The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it

The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025.

Importantly, the $47.78 trillion in reported liabilities does not include the unfunded obligations of social insurance programs like Social Security and Medicare — those are disclosed separately in the off-balance-sheet Statement of Social Insurance (SOSI).

The government’s consolidated balance sheet position, excluding the SOSI, deteriorated by nearly $2.07 trillion between FY 2024 and FY 2025, reaching a staggering negative $41.72 trillion. Total liabilities are now nearly eight times the value of reported assets. The largest drivers were a $2 trillion increase in federal debt and interest payable (now $30.33 trillion) and a $438.8 billion increase in federal employee and veteran benefits payable (now $15.47 trillion). ...

In Gaza, Palestinians say they saw this pattern long before it appeared in other parts of the world.

“The genocide itself was a warning. Seeing Israel get away with crimes we never thought would be met with nothing more than timid condemnations suggested that the war would not stop here,” Muhammed al-Khaldi, a 32-year-old teacher from Gaza, told MEE.

“Gaza was the testing ground where Israel pushed the limits of what it could do. Unfortunately, the world allowed it to act without restraint. Now, they [Israel] know they can commit similar crimes elsewhere.”

,,,

In a similar attack in Gaza on 10 August 2024, the Israeli military bombed al-Tabaeen school in eastern Gaza City, where thousands of Palestinians were seeking shelter.

Around 100 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed on a Saturday in at least three waves of bombing as they performed dawn prayers.

👉Over 97 percent of Gaza’s schools have been destroyed or damaged, and 92 percent of all education facilities in the coastal enclave require full reconstruction or major rehabilitation to become functional again, according to Unicef.👈
