    China is planning to build the world’s largest hydroelectric dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) River in Tibet, near the Indian border. The dam, known as the Medog Hydropower Station, is projected to generate three times the power of the Three Gorges Dam. The dam will have the yearly output of Germany.

    The big beautiful bill. Include a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase.

    R and D should/will pass the budget because they want to spend money that doesn’t exist.

    “He’ll get attention alright. But how about votes?
    • Elon Musk Pledges to Launch Third Party if Big Beautiful Bill Passes (CTH)

    No one will trust him because he’s not trustworthy. And that’s aside from having too much power bc of money, and THEN adding too much power, from elected position? Yeah, no.

    Bringing this all back up – which never existed – for some new reason? Getting something else off the front page again?

    “• America’s New Long War (Douglas Macgregor)

    If you’re wrong can I have $100?

    “Moscow is aware of the possibility. The Russian phased array radar can reportedly track stealth aircraft and missile launches at long range.”

    Clearly they did not. At all. So, the message sent (I don’t have time for everything) is that we sent all our jets FROM MISSOURI, and you had no idea at all, while we still have all our assets on your side of the planet, resting and unused. In addition, it seems, despite our recent shows, YOU DIDN’T SEE THEM. We could bomb you at will, with complete impunity.

    That’s the message, not the bombs dropped, which hit ‘nothing’.

    Okay, going to just shoot random here, but you know the Aurora B space plane that doesn’t exist or only on random days? All these rumors are put out like chaff-armor but it was rumored to fly at high speeds to create an electro-gravitic plasma effect on the hull. That is, once they can get there, the engines can quiet, they float.

    Now remember the new hypersonics, which are unsee-able, un-radar-able, because they’re so hot they are in a plasma bubble which reflects nothing? Yeah, the Aurora has that plasma skin, so they are likewise invisible. We’re obviously not admitting that because: why would you? But this is the back-end-army-wonk way of admitting we have something. That is, we can bomb central Russia if we want to, central China if we want to, you can’t even see it much less stop it. And we can drop busters, or even nukes; always could. So knock it off. Russia and China have likewise always known: look at how they act.

    Speaking of this, nukes are entirely outdated, last century, literally, as the physics of it was by 1925. They decay and need expensive maintenance constantly, and who knows if any nukes are functional? Iran was given the secrets of the Israeli nuclear program last week, then bombed them flat. But you think they didn’t hit anything? Why, because Israel told you that? The point of having nukes is terrorism now, that’s it. Because it poisons the area for decades. If you wanted a weapon, you’d choose something else, like if you were Libya, you’d want one that can be used on your borders without blowback, or even on your property for invasions.

    Now these are all legacy, maybe they started before this wasn’t true, but right now if you were anyone well-meaning, you wouldn’t bother bc of that. So if you’re Europe, want to blackmail everyone, cause fear, regional battles for “Disaster Capitalism” etc, that is what you’d channel them all into. Then coup the country and steal one, maximum effect.

    “Only Spain is honest. EuroNATO doesn’t have the weapons nor the industry capacity.
    • NATO’s 5% Spending Demand ‘Absolutely Impossible’ – Spain (RT)

    Sort of. If they spent the 5% they’d get no weapons, but money still buys things and they’d be able to open some factories. Next problem: If the world is being run by Russian Oskandirs and Aurora Space Planes, why bother? It’s like making .32 revolvers and sopwith camels. This may be their actual problem.

    “• Canada Scraps Digital Service Tax On US Tech Giants To Revive Trade Talks (ZH)

    Am I right that the Canadian people still don’t notice? Like everything else? Is their ANY action that can get them to see, change? I mean, we already had all Covid and nothing happened, so the bar is pretty high.

    “• Trump Says TikTok Buyer Is “Group Of Very Wealthy People” (ZH)

    So not poor people no one’s heard of then? I guessed, actually.

    Powell isn’t interesting, it’s about what he’s DOING – and we don’t know, all that strategy is hidden, the goals, the tactics, troop movements.

    “• CNN Promotes ICE App to Help Illegal Aliens Avoid Capture (CTH)

    An app that helps you do bank robberies is not at all suspicious or illegal indicating you might rob banks. Why bother talking? We’ve seen this for a decade now, no matter what is said, how irrational or hypocritical, it makes no difference. Right now they are literally saying ICE/Police should not cover their faces, it’s bad/illegal yo; and IF ICE/Police don’t cover their faces, we will identify, track down, and attack them. Each side is like “But I’m not doing the bad thing!” It’s like being one person with multiple personalities, you just phase into the other Shirley Temple Innocence persona when they look up from your “Molly Hatchet” persona. Btw this is exactly the case of that lunatic attacker on the plane last week. First attacks, THEN when restrained, pretends to give in, when slacked attacks again, then pretends to the victim, injured, falls down, THEN punches them when they respond to that, all the way down, for an hour. Booooor-ing! We see this 100x a day. You’re not special when you do this. We’re not surprised, you didn’t get the upper hand. What would be unique is finding a single adult who ISN’T like this. Be a rebel: buck the trend.

    “Trump seems to be saying that instead of war let’s go into business together.”
    • Trump the Greatest American President in History? (Paul Craig Roberts)

    I mean, maybe, and I think so, but no one can tell, can they? When everyone reloads, America will Iran 2.0 on them again? Some here think so, which is a viable opinion.

    • Stablecoins Are Becoming ‘Default Settlement Layer’ For Internet (CT)

    They couldn’t stop Bitcoin so they went around it two ways. One is, no one is on-chain. They PRETEND they’re in Bitcoin, while unreal coins are all controlled on exchanges, same as the Gold CME. Wtf.

    THEN Bitcoin would be US$ replacement, so WHILE everyone was on exchanges, no one on the Blockchain, and all scalping satoshis while being robbed, they set the major trading pair as not BTC-USD, or such, but BTC-Tether. Then the Fed quietly controls Tether, which then controls Bitcoin trading, which controls the price. Same as the London Plan for everything (currencies, rates) for 400 years. …And everyone fell for it again, participating enthusiastically.

    So basically Tether is the parallel, Crypto-version of the UST market. The End, you’re welcome. It has no reality, it is run entirely by policy, directly from the Fed and Treasury. …Also if you wondered why BTC won’t go up in price anymore. It’s no longer a market thanks to YOU, you Krypto-Kidz.

    From AI:
    China Electricity Sources
    China’s electricity production is primarily sourced from a mix of fossil fuels, renewables, and other energy sources. In 2021, China produced 8,534 terawatt-hour (TWh) of electricity, which was approximately 30% of the world’s electricity production.
    Most of the electricity in China comes from coal power, which accounted for 62% of electricity generation in 2021.
    In 2023, China’s total installed electric generation capacity was 2.92 TW, of which 1.26 TW was renewable, including 376 GW from wind power and 425 GW from solar power.
    As of 2023, the total power generation capacity for renewable energy sources in China is at 53.9%.
    In May 2024, China’s electricity generation mix saw a significant shift away from fossil fuels. The share of coal-fired generation fell to 53%, down from 60% at the same time last year and the lowest share on record. Meanwhile, solar rose to 12%, up from 7% a year earlier and the highest on record. The remainder was made up of wind (11%), hydropower (15%), nuclear (5%), gas (3%) and biomass (2%).
    In 2024, the share of wind and solar combined reached 18%, just ahead of the global average of 15% and above its neighbours Japan (11%) and South Korea (6%). The biggest shift in China’s electricity generation in 2024 was the continued explosive growth of solar.
    China’s electricity production also includes contributions from nuclear power, which is a low-carbon source of electricity. In 2024, nuclear power contributed 5% to the electricity generation mix.
    In addition to these sources, China also generates electricity from biomass, geothermal, and other renewable sources. In 2021, China produced 169 TWh of electricity from biomass, geothermal and other renewable sources of energy.
    Overall, while China has made significant strides in increasing its renewable energy capacity, fossil fuels still provide a substantial portion of its electricity generation. In 2024, fossil fuels still provided 62% of China’s electricity.

    From “425 GW from solar power” to 4000 TW is quite a jump in a world of ever shrinking resources. One TW is 1000 GWs. Where exactly are the raw materials coming from for this jump not to mention the storage issue? A not to insignificant amount is also required for the storage bit. All of this needs FF to accomplish. Looks like more coal after the dams are finished. Oh ya and the dams aren’t built with solar and wind either. Sounds like more bullshit to me.

    ” The dam will have the yearly output of Germany.” Which year? Germany’s production of everything has fallen off a cliff.

    CRUX OF THE MATTER

    All the other blahblahblah about economics is static on the radio

    The demoralizing effect of working better and harder and not getting any increased benefit from it dooms a culture to decline.

    The USSA is a losing proposition because of this core disincentive.

    It’s like Communism but with lattes and energy drinks to kind the plebs moving.

    “Economic data collected between 1979 and 2018 shows that while productivity increased by 59.7%, hourly compensation for non-supervisory workers rose by only 17.5%.

    The difference went to capital owners and financial intermediaries. Wealth moved from America’s dying middle class to the top 10 percent of income earners.”

    SELF article bashing MAHA — because women would have to make “scratch” meals

    What a lark! Yes, some “scratch” meals take a long time to prepare. Others (like Alfredo) don’t take very long when fixed traditionally — but it takes some practice to get it just perfect consistently. But, oh! The taste! Food made competently and well from fresh, natural (without chemical additives) ingredients just tastes so good!

    Why do only the women need to make the meals? Why would any self-respecting feminist be so weak-minded as to make all of the meals herself, unless she is a single mom with young children? Other adult and older children household members can prepare meals from scratch as well! If she wants to make all of the meals (and maybe she does — cooking can be a lot more fun than many jobs out there), why also work a 40-hour per week job? Why should self-respecting women believe that they cannot be emancipated unless they work for others “full time?” Why not work for oneself or for one’s children or spouse, if that is what she prefers — she may find the work more fulfilling than “paid employment.” Why is there only one way to “have it all?”

    Why train women to long to be “more like men” — fewer to zero children, sex with whomever is convenient, full time jobs — and train men to be effeminate, “trans,” and showing their emotions? Isn’t that kind of bizarre?

    Electrical production is the new measurement of “master resource”

    Coal once was, then oil.

    Electricity is now, doesn’t matter what produces it.

    Nuclear isn’t used to produce heat for buildings or homes or to power vehicles or motors directly, it’s for electricity.

    Electricity is the New Gold Standard.

    Automation, AI, robotics etc, are not running on oil in the mid to long term.

    China knows this being the world’s largest industrial base.

    The USSA has NO strategic planning capability.

    It’s just what is profitable in the next Quarter or two.

    Short sided, make a quick buck Corporatism mentality.

    Like a cat’s vision which just detects short sighted horizontal motion Corporatism can’t plan beyond a very short time horizon.

    If you’ve ever been to Germany, much of it has an enormous number of cloudy weather days.

    Bad move on their part to junk nuclear and coal and gas.

    When I make food from scratch, I’ll make 20-30 healthy breakfast burritos at once, or do 20-30 en papillot meals at once and throw them all in the chest freezer my wife couldn’t comprehend me buying.

    There’ tons of males working the problem of food-from-scratch they are all over youtube. I guarantee males are shouldering the “burden” of scratch meals as much as women.

    The difference is that men approach it as problem solving, tool-using. Part of defense/protection (from poison) and self-improvement. So we end up coming up with systems that make it efficient and lower the burden. We come up with tools to decrease the time sink.

    This is also how you got pressure-cookers, instapots, microwaves, ovens, stoves, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, bread machines, refrigeration. water from the faucet, flush toilets — but by all means, complain as a first, second, and third step.

    The burden of cooking real food — women most affected.
