Nach einigen Dingen im Leben kannste echt die Uhr stellen, ... "IndyWatch Feed Europe"
Nach einigen Dingen im Leben kannste echt die Uhr stellen, so vorhersagbar sind sie.
Aktuell: Tesla kann den armen Briten keine Fahrzeuge mit dem Lenkrad auf der richtigen Seite liefern.
Stattdessen geben sie ihnen einen Greifarm. Damit sie, wenn sie auf der falschen Seite sitzen, mit Parkautomaten u.. interagieren knnen.
Bis auf den Greifarm ist das aber ein echt langer Running Gag, dass US-Prsidenten laut rumfurzen, wieso Japan so wenige US-Autos importiert, wenn die USA doch so viele japanische Autos importieren.
Trump ging sogar so weit, einfach anzunehmen, das msse an Strafzllen der Japaner liegen, und von den Japanern lautstark das Abstellen der Zlle zu verlangen. Es gibt da aber keine Zlle, wie Japan immer und immer wieder freundlich erklrt. Die fahren nur auf der anderen Straenseite und amerikanische Hersteller sind nicht in der Lage, entsprechend angepasste Modelle zu liefern.
Aber das geht schon ewig lange zurck. Hier ist die New York Times aus dem Jahre 1992, da ging es um Bush Senior. Der flog nach Japan, mit mehreren Firmenchefs von US-Autobauern, und wollte den Japanern mal ins Gewissen reden, sie sollten die groartigen Autos der Amis kaufen. Die Japaner meinten damals so: Wenn ihr Autos liefert, die unsere Leute haben wollen, dann kaufen sie die auch. Aber Lenkrad auf der falschen Seite ist ein no-go und wir stehen hier eher auf kleine, sparsame Autos.

Nicaragua's San Cristobal Volcano spews ash, gas "IndyWatch Feed World"
What authorities described as a "small explosion" from San Cristobal Volcano was enough to leave communities in northwestern Nicaragua covered in ash Thursday and residents awoke to a strong odor of sulfur. The main impact was in La Grecia, a village some 7 km (4 mi) from downtown Chinandega, Nicaragua's sixth-largest city. Extending 1,745 m (5,725 ft) above sea-level, San Cristobal is the tallest volcano in the Central American nation and one of the most active. Wednesday's activity was a "small eruption of moderate intensity of gas and ash," according to the Sinapred disaster management agency.

Was Smallpox Weaponized against First Nations? "IndyWatch Feed War"
[S]ettlers in thrall to colonial ideology saw every unfenced meadow as waste land free for the taking, especially the most fertile land supporting native self-sufficiency.
Tom Swanky, The Smallpox War against the Haida (p 67).
July 1, was recently celebrated in Canada as Canada
Day by Canadians. The Dominion of Canada was formed by the joining
of three British North American colonies in 1867. It would serve as
an Anglo bulwark against the French presence, and a bulwark against
the American presence to the south. Over subsequent years,
settler-colonialists spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
Arctic coasts in what was deemed Canada. When the first European
natives, the Norsemen, appeared in 1000 CE, Indigenous peoples had
already inhabited the land for millennia, or as they often phrase
it, since time immemorial.1
The Original Peoples in Canada were dispossessed, largely decultured, proselytized, assimilated, disappeared. The founding peoples of Canada, as depicted on Canadas colonialist coat-of-arms, are the English and French. Not the Indigenous peoples. The official languages of Canada are English and French. Indigenous languages are not recognized federally as official; moreover, linguicide of Indigenous languages was an outcome of the Residential School programs. This all amounts, unquestioningly, to cultural genocide.
But the genocide is more than just the annihilation of a groups culture and language.
Monetizing nature: the under-explored power of Amazons natural capital "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"
Environmental economics views the environment as a form of natural capital: land, water and biodiversity are viewed as assets that mediate the flow of goods and services from ecosystems toward human society. One of that disciplines most important innovations was the concept of payment for ecosystem services (PES), based on the observation that, under certain circumstances, societies are willing to pay for the provision of goods and services that originate from nature. The Pan Amazon is the most biologically diverse tropical forest on Earth, its forests and soils contain the largest stock of terrestrial carbon and it is home to the worlds largest freshwater resource. Nonetheless, it has been difficult to discover and implement PES schemes capable of monetizing the value of this enormous natural capital. Aerial view of the Pini Pini river in the Peruvian Amazon. Image by Rhett A. Butler. With regard to biodiversity, its value remains hypothetical until discovered; consequently, the market potential of the vast majority of Amazonian species is unknown. The foundation of the modern pharmaceutical industry is based on chemicals derived from plants, fungi and animals, but the discovery process is long, difficult and laden with risk. Similar obstacles impede investment by agribusiness: research to discover the economic potential of agrobiodiversity is largely carried out by public institutions. A PES scheme for biodiversity is not an option, because the potential beneficiaries of an undiscovered species have not been identified.

Caught Between a Water Emergency and a Possible Nuclear Crisis in Nikopol "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
NIKOPOL, Ukraine In her sleep, Angelina dreams of nuclear disaster. But when she wakes, the 19-year-old has more immediate problems.
Like most people in the southern front-line town of Nikopol, Angelina hasnt had running water for about four weeks. The destruction of the Kakhovka dam last month, which Ukraine blamed on Russia, has created a severe water shortage along the upstream reservoir.
Its very uncomfortable, Angelina said earlier this week. You cant do many things without water.
The water shortage has complicated daily life and heightened the possibility of a nuclear disaster at the nearby Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the ZNPP relied heavily on the now drained Kakhovka Reservoir along the Dnieper River for water to cool the plant and prevent a meltdown. For the time being, the water situation appears stable, thanks to alternate sources of water having been secured. Still, concerns of a nuclear disaster deepened in recent weeks as Ukrainian officials warned that Russia was planning to attack the plant.
We just try not to panic, Angelina said.
But with each passing day, the possibility of some sort of catastrophe either deliberate or unintentional seems to grow.
Since the destruction of the Kakhovka dam last month, water levels in the reservoir upstream along the Dnieper River have dropped dramatically, leaving some areas almost completely barren. Photo credit: Hunter Williamson / WhoWhatWhy

This Week in Security: Bogus CVEs, Bogus PoCs, And Maybe a Bogus Breach "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
It appears we have something of a problem. Its not really a new problem, and shouldnt be too surprising, but it did pop up again this week: bogus CVEs. Starting out in the security field? Whats the best way to jump-start a career? Getting a CVE find to your name certainly cant hurt. And as a result, you get very junior security researchers looking for and reporting novel security vulnerabilities of sometimes dubious quality. Sometimes that process looks a lot like slinging reports against the wall to see what sticks. Things brings us to an odd bug report in the OBS Studio project.
A researcher put together a script to look for possible password
exposure on Github projects, and it caught a configuration value
named password in a .ini file, being distributed in
the project source. Obvious credential leak in Git source, right?
Except for the little detail that it was in the locale folder, and
the files were named ca-es.ini,
ja-jp.ini, and similar. You may be in on the joke by
now, but if not, those are translation strings. It wasnt leaked
credentials, it was various translations of the word password. This
sort of thing happens quite often, and from the viewpoint of a
researcher looking at results from an automated tool, it can be
challenging to spend enough time with each result to fully
understand the code in question. It looks like...
The allure of magic "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
I am a sucker of magic, mentalist tricks, and illusions. Here is a video of Harry Milas doing some of his stuff on an Australian TV show.
You can read more about Milas
here.
So good is Milas at his job that he now specialises in a unique line of work: hes enlisted by casinos around the world, from Las Vegas to the Middle East, to catch people cheating. It is this work that inspired his latest show, The Unfair Advantage, in which he goes against convention and shows his audience how to cheat in any way they want while also demonstrating all the ways they will be caught.
Milas calls the show a pretty frank warning, though many people still think theyll be able to get away with it.
Milas is known as a mechanical expert, or someone who knows all the ways to get an unfair advantage in cards. When he offers to demonstrate dealing seconds for me, I try desperately not to look too excited until he casually shuffles his deck in a spectacular way, which provokes an odd, happy noise out of me. Kindly, he doesnt make fun of it. Magic is a very optimistic art form, hell tell me later. It brings out the inner child. Its a gentle reminder that youre never going to know everything.
He shows me the ace of spades on top of the deck then starts dealing, discreetly keeping the ace on top with his thumb as he fluidly deals out the cards underneath it. This is probably the most prevalent card cheating move, he explains. It should look like nothing at all. And it does.
Truth is, its incredibly common for people to try to cheat, he says. Most of my work in casinos is confirming suspicions. And most of the time, its the dealer. Sometimes, it is someone who is winning really well and consistently it doesnt matter how fair your play is, the casinos are going to be interested in you.
A lot of the work involves studying video footage to see if he can spot a mechanic, watching the movement of their thumbs, the bevel of the deck in their hand. Most people are really fucking bad at these moves and its very obvious, he says. You can only start even thinking about trying to cheat once there is no question about being able to deliver 100% of the time. If its any less than that, you are going to be caught.
I think its a genuine disservice to reveal how magic tricks are done, he adds. I realise that that might sound hypocritical, but I personally see a distinction between revealing gambling techniques and magic secrets: one is something created for ulterior personal...

Chinas Export Ban on Semiconductor Inputs "IndyWatch Feed War"
China, the worlds leading producer of gallium and germanium, announced new export controls on these critical materials used primarily in the semiconductor industry. The restrictions came in response to trade war escalations with the US and Europe, following moves to limit Chinas access to vital chipmaking technology. The new rules will require Chinese companies to obtain an export license for these metals, marking a significant change in the dynamics of global technology manufacturing.
Gallium and germanium are two critical materials used extensively in high-tech industries. They are typically extracted as byproducts from the processing of other minerals. Gallium is primarily extracted during the refining of bauxite, an aluminum ore, and to a lesser extent, from sphalerite, a zinc ore. Germanium is also primarily derived from zinc ore, in addition to coal and silver ores.

Intel Xeon Max Performance Delivers A Powerful Combination With AMX + HBM2e "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
The Intel Xeon Max 9480 flagship Sapphire Rapids CPU with HBM2e memory tops out at 56 cores / 112 threads, so how can that compete with the latest AMD EPYC processors hitting 96 cores for Genoa (or 120 cores with the forthcoming Bergamo)? Besides the on-package HBM2e that is unique to the Xeon Max family, the other ace that Xeon Max holds with the rest of the Sapphire Rapids line-up is support for the Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX). In today's benchmarks of the Intel Xeon Max performance is precisely showing the impact of how HBM2e and AMX in order to compete -- and outperform -- AMD's EPYC 9554 and 9654 processors in AI workloads when effectively leveraging AMX and the onboard HBM2e memory.

We dont have beach reading in the Midwest, lacking in oceans "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
Since FDotM mentioned how social media can cut into your book-reading time, I thought Id say that for me, it isnt true. I can read a book any time I want, and I do. It is my custom to read for an hour before bed, or sometimes over lunch, and I chew through books pretty fast.
Sometimes I pick up trash reads. The latest was one
called Pistols: A
Deep Sea Thriller (hint: you know its going to be a throw-away
when they need to include the genre in the title; sometimes you can
just look at the cover). Its totally ridiculous. Its about
stomatopods that are exposed to toxic waste and swim around,
snipping people in half and cooking them with high intensity sonic
bursts. My favorite part was when the scientist character has to
explain why they also have toxic slime, and starts babbling about
ubiquitination, before he has done any kind of analysis of tissue,
or even seen one of the monsters. Cheesy, but sometimes
you need something silly.
Ive also been on a Madeline Miller kick lately, and thats definitely not cheesy trash. I recently re-read The Song of Achilles, which was magnificent and nearly made me cry. Circe is also really, really good and well worth your while. Im going on a collecting trip in the old Lake Agassiz lands up north this weekend, and picked up her short story, Galatea for those moments when Im not chasing spiders.
See? Being an internet nerd is not incompatible with actively reading for entertainment.
Go ahead. Prove your bookworm cred by telling me all the stuff you read for fun. Dont be shy, and admit to your popcorn reading as well as your high-brow stuff.
Three Ways Insider Threats Contribute To API Cyber Risk "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
When it comes to APIs and the threats associated with this critical application building block, the human element plays a particularly prevalent role.
New Bacterial Structure Helps Overcome Antibiotic Resistance "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
May people worry that infectious pathogens will become resistant to current first-line therapies like antibiotics. Bacteria and other infectious diseases evolve and change to meet the needs of their environment and overcome treatments like these. Cancer is a well-known case in which the tumor cells evolve and become resistant to immunotherapy and other targeted treatments. Cancer is a prime example, because it rapidly divides and the mechanism by which it progresses allows tumor cells to avoid or overcome therapies. However, bacterial diseases are also common infections that can rapidly evolve. The World Health Organization (WHO) has even warned against a time in which antibiotics will not work. If this were the case, minor illnesses such as the common cold, could become fatal. The worry of antibiotic resistance is partly the reason we get yearly vaccinations. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) best predicts which viral infections will persist in the following year. A multitude of data is included in this prediction including the following:
Tamiflu for preventing flu admissions "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
Influenza, or the flu, is a viral respiratory infection that commonly affects the nose, throat, and lungs. Some symptoms of flu infection include fever, muscle ache, headache, dry cough, shortness of breath, general malaise, and more. Most healthy people with active flu infections can fight off the infection with their immune systems, however, certain high-risk groups may be prone to developing complications, such as children under 2 years old, adults over 65 years old, those that are pregnant, those with weakened immune systems, those with chronic illnesses, and those with a body mass index of 40 or higher.
The influenza vaccine is a preventative vaccine that reduces the chances of a patient having severe complications from the virus. Even after preventative measures such as the influenza vaccine, some adults remain at high risk for hospitalization following an infection. That is where flu antiviral drugs come in; antiviral drugs are medications that assist your body in fighting viruses.
The most common antiviral for the flu is Tamiflu, generically known as oseltamivir. Oseltamivir is a neuraminidase inhibitor and was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1999. When oseltamivir is started within two days of flu symptoms and confirmed flu infection, it can shorten length of illness along with a decrease in overall symptoms. This is especially useful in high-risk populations who may be able to prevent a hospitalization after taking oseltamivir.
Evaluation of Oseltamivir to Prevent Hospitalization in Outpatients With Influenza "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
Importance Despite widespread use, summary evidence from prior meta-analyses has contradictory conclusions regarding whether oseltamivir decreases the risk of hospitalization when given to outpatients. Several large investigator-initiated randomized clinical trials have not yet been meta-analyzed.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of oseltamivir in preventing hospitalization among influenza-infected adult and adolescent outpatients.
Revolutionary gel allows metal items to be 3D printed at room temperature "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat which isnt conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things. A new gel, however, can be used to print such items at room temperature.
Created by a team of scientists at North Carolina State University, the material starts out as a solution consisting of copper microparticles suspended in water. Microparticles of another metal, known as eutectic gallium indium alloy (EGaIn) are then added, as is hydrochloric acid.
The latter sets the pH of the water to 1.0, removing oxides from the EGaln and thus temporarily turning it to a liquid-metal state. This causes the EGaln particles (now globules) to cling to the firmer copper particles, forming a network of copper particles connected by EGaln bridges. Methylcellulose is also added, to bulk up the mixture.
Americans are embracing flexible workand they want more of it "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
The results of the American Opportunity Survey reflect sweeping changes in the US workforce, including the equivalent of 92 million workers offered flexible work, 80 million workers engaged in flexible work, and a large number of respondents citing a search for flexible work as a major motivator to find a new job.
Competition for top performers and digital innovators demands that employers understand how much flexibility their talent pool is accustomed to and expects. Employers are wise to invest in technology, adapt policies, and train employees to create workplaces that integrate people working remotely and on-site (without overcompensating by requiring that workers spend too much time in video meetings). The survey results identify obstacles to optimal performance that underscore a need for employers to support workers with issues that interfere with effective work. Companies will want to be thoughtful about which roles can be done partly or fully remotelyand be open to the idea that there could be more of these than is immediately apparent. Employers can define the right metrics and track them to make sure the new flexible model is working.
At a more macro level, a world in which millions of people no longer routinely commute has meaningful implications for the commercial core in big urban centers and for commercial real estate overall. Likewise, such a world implies a different calculus for where Americans will live and what types of homes they will occupy. As technology emerges that eliminates the residual barriers to more distributed and asynchronous work, it could become possible to move more types of jobs overseas, with potentially significant consequences.
Rise of the robots: UN tries to tackle mind-blowing growth of AI "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

4,700 earthquakes in 72 hours could signal impending eruption of Icelandic volcano "IndyWatch Feed World"
Residents on the Nordic island nation of Iceland are closely watching a volcano that has been the focal point of thousands of earthquakes over the last few days, which could signal an upcoming eruption. The Icelandic Meteorological Office reports more than 4,700 earthquakes have occurred around Mount Fagradalsfjall - an active volcano about an hour's drive from the capital city of Reykjavk. Most earthquakes have been minor, but government agencies warn that seismic activity has increased the risk of landslides. Alert statuses around the volcano have been raised in anticipation of increased activity and volcanic ash. The volcano produced a series of eruption events in 2021 and 2022 but has been mostly quiet for nearly a year.

Snowden: Todays Surveillance Technology Makes 2013 Look Like Childs Play "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
We trusted the government not to screw us, said Edward Snowden. But they did. We trusted the tech companies not to take advantage of us. But they did. That is going to happen again, because that is the nature of power.
Julia Conley from
Common Dreams writes
With this week marking 10 years since whistleblower Edward Snowden disclosed information to journalists about widespread government spying by United States and British agencies, the former National Security Agency contractor on Thursday joined other advocates in warning that the fight for privacy rights, while making several inroads in the past decade, has grown harder due to major changes in technology.
If we think about what we saw in 2013 and the capabilities of governments today, Snowden told The Guardian, 2013 seems like childs play.
Snowden said that the advent of commercially available surveillance products such as Ring cameras, Pegasus spyware, and facial recognition technology has posed new dangers.
As Common Dreams has reported, the home security company Ring has faced legal challenges due to security concerns and its products vulnerability to hacking, and has faced criticism from rights groups for partnering with more than 1,000 police departmentsincluding some with histories of police violenceand leaving community members vulnerable to harassment or wrongful arrests.

Why would Scots be ambivalent about the monarchy? /s "IndyWatch Feed World"
This week, King Charles had a second coronation in Scotland, following the official one in London. He took part in a parade through Edinburgh and received the Scottish crown jewels in St. Giles Cathedral. While this was not technically necessary, as England and Scotland share the same throne, it indicated his desire to unify Great Britain and increase his standing among Scots.
They were, as the New York Times reported, ambivalent. While many appeared to cheer the parade, many others protested. Charles is not polling very well in Scotland, where his mother seemed rather popular.
What was missing from the Times story, however, was the very obvious reason why Scots would be ambivalent about the British monarchy. Its not just anti-monarchical feelings. It has to do with the long history of English mistreatment of Scotland and its current frustration of Scottish autonomy. This relates to assumptions about the desirability of international union that filters down to analyses of Scottish independence. As a result, scholars and policy experts were and continue to be misinformed about the need for greater Scottish autonomy.
Most Americans learned of English-Scottish tensions from Mel Gibsons 1995 movie Braveheart (much to the chagrin of historians everywhere). That war for Scottish independence was certainly important, but its aftermath was equally so: when Robert the Bruces son David died childless, the Scottish throne passed to Robert Stewart.
His dynasty (later changed to Stuart) ruled for almost 300 years. They included the famous Mary Queen of Scots, who fought with John Knox, was deposed from her Scottish throne and was later executed by Queen Elizabeth of England (who saw Mary as a threat given her claim to the English throne). After Elizabeth died childless, Marys sonJames VI of Scotlandbecame James I of England and Ireland. He was succeeded by Charles I, whose religious and monarchical policies sparked the English Civil War, leading to his execution by Oliver Cromwell. After the restoration of the monarchy, there was Charles II and James VII/II, the latter of whom was overthrown by the English parliament in the Glorious Revolution. This revolution placed MaryJames daughterand her husband William on the throne. After their death, the throne passed to Anne, the last of the Stuarts. When she died childless, the parliament gave the throne to a random German guy, George (ok, he wasnt completely random, but it was a stretch) instead of her brother James.
As many will know from high school history, much of the opposition to the Stuarts was religious. They were predominantly Catholic, while Protestantism was dom...
US military short of recruits with most youth disqualified "IndyWatch Feed War"
By Uriel Araujo | July 7, 2023
Already in September 2022 the Pentagon was voicing concerns about ammunition and arsenal shortages while US President Joe Biden was announcing an extra $3 billion military aid to Ukraine. Things are not so good with its transatlantic allies: in March 2023, Europes military was described as being in an appalling state by a Foreign Affairs article a situation which is hard to escape amid todays deindustrialization.
Last month, the US was announcing it would spend yet another $325 million to replace tanks destroyed by Russia during Ukraines costly and failed counteroffensive. The hard economic costs and depletion or arsenals, however, should not be Washingtons only concern: since 2020, merely 23% of young Americans (aged 17-24) are eligible for military service without a waiver and most ineligible youth are disqualified for multiple reasons, such as overweight, poor medical health, and drug abuse.

The state next to mine, Wisconsin, has gone insane. The raging anti-vax hysteria
The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature on Wednesday voted to stop Democratic Gov. Tony Evers administration from requiring seventh graders to be vaccinated against meningitis.
The state Senate and Assembly, with all Republicans in support and Democrats against, voted to block the proposal. There is no current meningitis vaccination requirement for Wisconsin students.
The Legislatures vote also makes it easier for parents to get an exemption from a chicken pox vaccine requirement that is in place for all K-6 students. Evers administration wanted to require parents seeking a chicken pox vaccination exemption to provide proof that their child has previously been infected.
WHY? These are well-established, safe vaccines against terrible diseases. They work. But somehow, Republicans have got it in their heads that reasonable evidence-based medicine is bad.
This is getting personal, too. My daughter and son-in-law and my little 4 year old granddaughter all live in Wisconsin, and shell be attending Wisconsin public schools in a year. I dont want her to get chicken pox or meningitis. Of course, I trust her parents to get her vaccinated even in the absence of a public health requirement its all the other kids we have to worry about.
Earth in Formation: The Accretion of Terrestrial Worlds "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
It would be useful to have a better handle on how and when water appeared on the early Earth. We know that comets and asteroids can bring water from beyond the snowline, that zone demarcated by temperatures beyond which volatiles like water, ammonia or carbon dioxide are cold enough to condense into ice grains. For our Solar System, that distance in our era is 5 AU, roughly the orbital distance of Jupiter, although the snowline would have been somewhat closer to the Sun during the period of planet formation. So we have a mechanism to bring ices into the inner Solar System but dont know just how large a role incoming ices played in Earths development.
Knowing more about the emergence of volatiles on Earth would help us frame what we see in other stellar systems, as we evaluate whether or not a given planet may be habitable. Usefully, there are ways to study our planets formation that can drill down to its accretion from the materials in the original circumstellar disk. A new study from Caltech goes to work on the magmas that emerge from the planetary interior, finding that water could only have arrived later in the history of Earths formation.
Published in Science Advances, the paper involves an international team working in laboratories at Caltech as well as the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with Caltech grad student Weiyi Liu as first author. When I think about studying magma, zircon comes first to mind. It appears in crystalline form as magma cools and solidifies. Im no geologist, but Im told that the chemistry of melt inclusions can identify factors such as volatile content and broader chemical composition of the original magma itself. Feldspar crystals are likewise useful, and the isotopic analysis of a variety of rocks and minerals can tell us much about their origin.
So its no surprise to learn that the Caltech paper uses isotopes, in this case the changing ratio of isotopes of xenon (Xe) as found in mid-ocean ridge basalt vs. ocean island basalt. Specifically, 129Xe* comes from the radioactive decay of the extinct volatile 129I, whose half-life is 15.7 million years, while 136Xe*Pu comes from the extinction of 244Pu, with a halflife of 80 million years. So the 129Xe*/136Xe*Pu ratio is a useful tool. As the paper notes, this ratio:
evolves as a function of both time and reservoirs compositions (i.e., I/Pu ratio) early in Earths history. Hence, the study of the 129Xe*/136Xe*Pu in silicate reservoirs of Earth has the potential to place strong constraints on Earths accretion and evolution.
The ocean island basalt samples, originating as far down as the core/mantle boundary, reveal this...

UFO-hunting Harvard scientists say debris from unidentified object that crashed into Pacific Ocean in 2014 appears 'artificial in origin', could be remnants of an 'interstellar spacecraft' "IndyWatch Feed World"
Tiny metal fragments recovered from an interstellar object that crashed into the Pacific Ocean appear 'artificial in origin', scientists say. A Harvard duo recovered 50 unusual iron spheres after tracking down the unidentified object, known as IM1, off the coast of Papua New Guinea last week as part of a $ 1.5 million underwater search mission. New lab analysis of the metal spheres reveals they are 'anomalous' and stronger than any observed meteor produced by nature, according to Professor Avi Loeb, former chair of Harvard's astronomy department who led the research.

Stop the Great Wall of Frankston - Minister intervenes "IndyWatch Feed World"
There is exciting news from Frankston. On Wednesday
Victorian Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny announced an Interim
Design and Development Overlay which included mandatory height
limits of 3 storeys on the section of land between Kananook Creek
Boulevard and Nepean Highway. This article is reposted from
Planning Democracy Facebook.
This area has a very sensitive creek interface and is adjacent to the Frankston foreshore. Despite its importance, until now it has had no protection from overdevelopment. Developers have lodged plans for 14, 15, and 16 storey towers! Of course their plan is to build luxury apartments - no risk of any dwellings that a young person on a basic income could live in.
The Stop the Great Wall of Frankston Campaign Committee has done a mighty job in campaigning against high rise development in Frankston's waterfront precinct. It included a Blues Concert last weekend, and a rally back on 13 May at which I was one of the speakers. The rally had an audience of hundreds, and their Petition to stop the Great Wall has attracted over 4000 signatures. Planning Democracy, and the Protectors of Public Lands, as well as many local groups and residents, have supported this campaign.
Of course this battle has a long way to go yet, but the Minister has done the right thing, and her intervention deserves our support.
It gives us hope that there is still room for community opinion and action to influence our decision makers.
Former US officials held secret Ukraine talks with top Russian diplomat in April - NBC "IndyWatch Feed World"
The aim of the discussions is to lay the groundwork for potential negotiations to end the war, people briefed on the talks told NBC News. A group of former senior U.S. national security officials has held secret talks with prominent Russians believed to be close to the Kremlin and, in at least one case, with the country's top diplomat with the aim of laying the groundwork for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, half a dozen people briefed on the discussions said. In a high-level example of the back-channel diplomacy taking place behind the scenes, Russian ForeignAffairs Minister Sergey Lavrov met with members of the group for several hours in April in New York, four former officials and two current officials said. On the agenda were some of the thorniest issues in the war in Ukraine, like the fate of Russian-held territory that Ukraine may never be able to liberate and the search for an elusive diplomatic off-ramp that could be tolerable to both sides.

Why the Fentanyl Crisis Calls For a New War On Drugs "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
On this weeks WhoWhatWhy podcast journalist and author Sam Quinones provides a stark examination of Americas escalating fentanyl crisis. Quinones, known for his award-winning books The Least of Us and Dreamland, delves into the unprecedented challenges posed by potent synthetic drugs, the exacerbating role of homelessness, and the systemic failures that have allowed the crisis to spiral out of control.
Quinones argues that the current approach to drug addiction waiting for users to volunteer for treatment is hopelessly outdated. He emphasizes that the crisis extends beyond individual addicts; it impacts communities, cities, and the very fabric of our society. The relentless supply of these potent synthetic drugs, he suggests, is creating a new high tide of drugs, eroding the quality of life in many cities and making all citizens potential victims.
The potency of synthetic drugs, particularly fentanyl and methamphetamine, is transforming the drug landscape, leading to increased mental illness and symptoms of schizophrenia. Quinones suggests that the abundant supply of these drugs is a major driver of the homelessness problem. They not only contribute to making some people homeless, but also, regardless of the original cause of homelessness, their availability tends to perpetuate the condition.
Quinones challenges the notion of minor drug possession cases, arguing that a person with a piece of foil, a straw, and a pill containing fentanyl is not the same as someone with a baggie of marijuana 20 years ago. The person with fentanyl, he says, is on the brink of self-destruction, highlighting the severity of the current crisis.
He also touches on the concept of safe injection sites, implying that the very concept of safe needs to be questioned in light of the deadly drugs now easily available on the street.
Contending that these potent substances change everything weve ever thought about the drug problem, Quinones calls for an innovative rethinking of our approach to drug addiction and treatment.

Improved Hydrogen Fuel Cells are Groovy "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
According to [Charles Q. Choi], a new study indicates that grooves in the hydrogen fuel cells used to power vehicles can improve their performance by up to 50%. Fuel cells are like batteries because they use chemical reactions to create electricity. Where they are different is that a battery reacts a certain amount of material, and then it is done unless you recharge it somehow. A fuel cell will use as much fuel as you give it. That allows it to continue creating electricity until the fuel runs out.
Common hydrogen fuel cells use a proton exchange membrane a polymer membrane that conducts protons to separate the fuel and the oxidizer. You can think of it as an electrolyte. Common fuel cells use an electrode design that hasnt changed in decades. The new research has catalyst ridges separated by empty grooves. This enhances oxygen flow and proton transport.
Conventional electrodes use an ion-conducting polymer and a platinum catalyst. Adding more polymer improves proton transport but inhibits oxygen flow. The grooved design allows for dense polymer on the ridges but allows oxygen to flow in the grooves. In technical terms, the proton transport resistance goes down, and there is little change in the oxygen transport resistance.
The grooves are between one and two nanometers wide, so dont pull out your CNC mill. The researchers admit they had the idea for this...

The biologist working to save Perus yellow-tailed monkey: Q&A with Fanny Cornejo "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"
The first encounter between the biologist and the primates was like a movie scene. The monkeys moved through the thick fog covering the montane forest (or cloud forest), where she could barely make out their mysterious shadows. It was February 2007, in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon, and Fanny Cornejo was working during an expedition. I saw them as if in black and white, she said. From the silhouette and the place where they were, I knew they were yellow-tailed woolly monkeys. The first time I saw the monkeys was inside a cloud. Although they were about 5-7 [16.4-23 feet] meters above me, the cloud prevented me from seeing them clearly, Cornejo recalled. After several minutes, she was able to make out their faces. Little by little, their tails, the tuft of yellow pubic hair and the white hairs on their snouts became clear. I remember that moment very clearly, she said.

Move Over, Clarence Thomas; DeSantis Also Got Private Plane Rides "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
Its not just conservative Supreme Court justices who get treated to trips on private jets and then fail to report them. According to a campaign finance watchdog group, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has also been enjoying this type of exclusive travel without then disclosing the flights. In his case, the alleged benefactor was not a conservative billionaire but rather a conservative group, And To The Republic (ATTR), which flew the presidential hopeful to speaking engagements around the country.
Now, the Campaign Legal Center (CLC) is asking the Florida Commission on Ethics to look into this arrangement and whether DeSantis failed to report the trips as required under Florida law.
The exact cost of the flights is unknown but certainly exceeded $100, the CLC argued in a complaint filed with the commission on Thursday. DeSantis must report any gifts of more than $100 in value by the end of the quarter in which he received them. He missed the June 30th deadline to do so.
This lack of disclosure from Governor DeSantis appears to be a clear violation of state laws that are necessary to maintaining public trust, said Kedric Payne, CLC Vice President, General Counsel, and Senior Director of Ethics. Floridians have a right to know that government officials representing them are acting in the publics interests not their own personal interest, or the interests of the wealthy special interests who give them gifts.
On one of the trips arranged by ATTR, DeSantis flew aboard a jet owned by Jeffrey Soffer, a Miami hotel owner who has lobbied to change Floridas gambling laws.
ATTR confirmed it had arranged for DeSantiss travel, according to reporting by The New York Times cited in the CLC complaint. The organization said it did not consider the travel either a gift or a political contribution. ATTR arranged the flights using its connections to wealthy individuals like Soffer.
The speaking engagements for which DeSantis traveled included stops in Philadelphia, Chicago and New York where he gave barnstorming speeches to police unions.

Envisioning a Rail Culture for the U.S. "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
(Source: Unsplash/Caleb Fisher.)
One of my favorite hobbies is model railroading. I grew up with a 4-by-8 HO scale layout in my basement that included a Plaster of Paris mountain with numerous tunnels. The table was dismantled sometime after I went to college to make room for other stuff, but the passion for rails never left my blood.
About 10 years ago, I stumbled across a vintage Lionel O Scale train set in a thrift store, and my passion was reignited to near fanatic level. For those of you that are not initiated into the tiny world of model trains, O Scale was one of the first widely used electric model train scales. These hefty train engines take two hands to hold and the vintage trains rumble and grind as they circle their three rail tracks. HO or Half O Scale, is far more popular because it is half as large, so you can have double the molding fun. Moving to O Scale provided me with the excuse to have a much larger layout.
I, like many model railroaders, make pilgrimages to rail museums and iconic rail corridors to become inspired for the development of our modeled, scaled-down world. This then leads to the next step where you have to actually ride the train, so you can experience trains firsthand. I like to seek out these excursions and historic rail experiences, where I collect railroad pins for my conductor hat. Of course, I use my boys, who are always up for an adventure, as the justification for all of this.
This week, I experienced another railroad. MARC train connects my small West Virginia community to the nations capital and crown jewel of rail stations: Union Station.

Reddit Asks Court to Protect Users Right to Anonymous Speech in Piracy Case "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
Every day, millions of people from all over the world submit
posts, comments, and other content to Reddit.
Most discussions are relatively harmless but, every now and then, users unwittingly incriminate themselves, totally unaware of the potential ramifications their writings can have offline.
When somethings clearly wrong, the authorities can take action. Last year, governments and law enforcement sent more than 1,000 information requests to Reddit, seeking user details. In addition, Reddit was served with 277 search warrants and 582 subpoenas targeted at users of the platform.
Reddit complies with most of these information requests, but not all. Earlier this year the company objected when a group of filmmakers requested the personal details of several users as part of an ongoing lawsuit against Internet provider RCN.
The filmmakers turned to Reddit after they found public comments that could help their case. As part of the RCN lawsuit, they identified several potentially relevant threads and requested a DMCA subpoena, ordering Reddit to identify the anonymous users.
The Redditors in question discussed issues such as RCNs handling of copyright infringement emails. The filmmakers could use this information to their advantage, but only if they could obtain the identities of the commenters first.
Reddit was unhappy with the subpoena, characterizing it as overbroad and more akin to a fishing expedition than regular evidence gathering. Reddit only handed over the details of one user whose comment mentioned RCN, denying other less relevant ones, while citing the users First Amendment right to anonymous speech.
The court eventually agreed with this defense, concluding that Redditors First Amendment right to anonymous speech outweighs the interest of rightsholders. According to U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler, the filmmakers have other options to obtain this type of information, including through RCN itself.
Judge Beelers ruling was a setback for the filmmakers but a few weeks ago they...

Texas Taken to Court for Trying to Meddle in Houstons Elections "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
Some legislative efforts to undermine democracy are cloaked in fancy language about election integrity, which sometimes makes it hard to figure out that their goal is to achieve the opposite. Others are almost comically transparent. Senate Bill 1750, which the Texas legislature passed earlier this year, is clearly an example of the latter. And Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee hopes that this will make it easier to have it thrown out.
On Thursday, he announced that his county, which includes greater Houston, is challenging the constitutionality of SB 1750. And, upon a closer look at what the legislation does and, more importantly, where it seems unfathomable that this law would be allowed to stand.
So, what does SB 1750 do?
It abolishes the position of election administrator in certain counties. That in itself would already be strange since these administrators are nonpartisan officials who help ensure that elections run more smoothly.
It would seem that eliminating this position and putting the administration in the hands of an elected tax assessor would be a step in the wrong direction. In other words, thats the kind of thing someone would pass who wants elections to be more chaotic.
However, thats not what makes the legislation especially devious.
Whats truly insidious about SB 1750 is that, while it supposedly applies to certain counties, thats not true at all.
Because a closer look at the legislation reveals that it only targets one county: Harris County.
Specifically, SB 1750 applies to all counties with a population of more than 3.5 million on September 1 of this year.
But, unless a million people move to Dallas County in the next few weeks, there is only a single county that will meet this criterion by the deadline: Harris County.
Menefee believes that makes SB 1750 unconstitutional, because it is not enough to pretend that the legislation applies to certain counties when there is really only one target.
The Texas Constitution prohibits the Legislature from passing laws that apply to only one county and can never apply to other counties. Thats exactly what Senate Bill 1750 is because it abolishes the elections administrator office in only Harris County, he said.
Needless to say, Harris County is a Democr...

SOTT FOCUS: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - June 2023: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs "IndyWatch Feed World"
Record rainfall and flooding around the world marked this month, but some rare snow events should be highlighted: Some parts of Jasper, Alberta, received more than 4 inches of rain and more than 20 inches of snow during the week of the summer solstice. In Jasper National Park, two roads were closed and 60 visitors were rescued after becoming stranded. In western Canada, many ski resorts were blanketed with unusually heavy snow for June. The same system dropped 6 inches of snow at Tamarack Resort, Idaho, and Beaver Creek Resort, Colorado. America's Mountain was also hit by a sudden blizzard that dumped a record amount of snow for June, bringing all traffic in the area to a halt as visibility dropped to zero in a matter of minutes. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, the country's largest agricultural region braced for a surprise wave of snow and ice that caused lasting damage to crops and livestock.

Israeli activist arrested for wearing hat depicting Palestinian killed by soldiers
A Jerusalem-based Israeli activist has been arrested and detained for wearing a cap depicting a Palestinian who was killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2021.
The activist, identified as Gil Hammerschlag, was arrested on Tuesday, after being accused of "behaving in a way that may disturb public peace" and "spotted wearing a hat and behaving suspiciously".
The hat worn by Hammerschlag had the image of Atef Hanaysha on it. The 47-year-old farmer from the village of Beit Dajan in the occupied West Bank was shot in the head and killed in March 2021 during a protest against the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the area.
Footage taken from the scene at the time showed fellow protesters carrying Hanaysha away to a Nablus hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Noa Noy, an Israeli activist and friend of Hammerschlag said that his arrest was "crazy".
"I think this marks a new shift in the way that police treat Israeli leftist activists," she told Middle East Eye.
"I don't remember a similar case in the past where someone was arrested with the claim that their hat is an incitement for violence, it's...

Iraqi government announces investigation into kidnapped Israeli researcher
The Iraqi government has announced it is conducting a formal investigation into the apparent kidnapping of Israeli researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov, as the armed group that was previously believed to be responsible indicated it did not have her.
Tsurkov, a fellow at New Lines Institute and a doctoral student at Princeton University's Department of Politics, disappeared in March after last being seen in the Karrada region of Baghdad.
Tsurkov frequently made contact with local Arab sources, journalists and researchers across Iraq and Syria and was part of a group promoting female journalists and analysts and their work in the region.
Government spokesman Bassem al-Awadi said on Thursday that "the Iraqi government is indeed conducting an official investigation" into her disappearance.

In Arizona Water Ruling, the Hopi Tribe Sees Limits on Its Future "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up for Dispatches, a newsletter that spotlights wrongdoing around the country, to receive our stories in your inbox every week.
In September 2020, the Hopi Tribes four-decade effort to secure its right to water culminated in a court proceeding. The outcome would determine how much water the arid reservation would receive over the next century and whether that amount would be enough for the tribe to pursue its economic ambitions. Under rules unique to Arizona, the tribe would have to justify how it would use every drop it wanted.
The monthslong ordeal in Arizonas Superior Court unfolded in video calls over shaky internet connections.
Chairman Timothy Nuvangyaoma called it the fight of our lives.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1908 that reservations have an inherent right to water. In the rest of the country, courts grant tribes water based on the amount of arable land on their reservations, relying on a 1963 U.S. Supreme Court precedent. But in 2001, Arizona developed its own method that was ostensibly more flexible to individual tribes visions for how they wanted to use their water by examining their culture, history, economy and projected population.
This new standard offered tribes an opportunity to shape their plans for economic development and growth beyond farming. But the Hopi case, the first adjudicated under this process, showed it also came at a high cost with uncertain outcomes.
Court records show that at the trial, experts brought in by the tribe, state and corporate water users argued over how many Hopi had lived in the area going back centuries and how much water they had used for crops and livestock. They debated the correct fertility rate of Hopi women and the viability of the tribes economic projects. And the court examined lists of sacred springs sites the Hopi traditionally kept secret to preserve them to decide how much water could be drawn from them for future religious ceremonies.
The legal battle, one o...
Million Dollar Prize for Scholze and Stix "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
At a news conference in Tokyo today there evidently were various announcements made about IUT, the most dramatic of which was a 140 million yen (roughly one million dollar) prize for a paper showing a flaw in the claimed proof of the abc conjecture. It is generally accepted by experts in the field that the Scholze-Stix paper Why abc is still a conjecture conclusively shows that the claimed proof is flawed. For a detailed discussion with Scholze about the problems with the proof, see here. For extensive coverage of the IUT story on this blog, see here.
Between paywalls and the limitations of Google translate, Im not sure exactly what the process is for Scholze and Stix to collect their million dollars. Perhaps they just need to publish their paper, but it seems that the decision may be up to the businessman who is contributing the funds, and its unclear what his process will be.
For a few sources Ive found, see here, here and here. If others have reliable and more detailed sources they can point to (especially anything in English), please do so.
Update: Press release here. Rules for the million dollars are

Scholze and Stix may not want to take time to submit their paper to a journal (Scholze has a history of turning down large prizes). It occurs to me that there are quite a few arithmetic geometers who understand well the problem with the proof, could write something up and possibly get it published.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has announced a major shakeup of the countrys security and intelligence services, appointing an influential spymaster ostracised by his predecessor as the head of national security.
Officials in Baghdad told Middle East Eye that the changes unveiled on Wednesday were intended to consolidate Sudanis grip on power and to exclude a number of officials and employees suspected of involvement in corruption under the previous government.
One of the main and most prominent - beneficiaries of the reshuffle is Abdul Karim Abd Fadhil, also known as Abu Ali al-Basri, who was named by Sudani to lead the Iraqi National Security Service (INSS).

Exposed, the multi-billion-dollar illusion of HIV: Part 4 "IndyWatch Feed War"
Readers of TCW will be familiar with Neville Hodgkinsons critical reporting of the Covid crisis since December 2020, notably his expert, science-based informed alarm about the mass vaccine rollout, so absent from mainstream coverage. What they may be less aware of is the international storm this former Sunday Times medical and science correspondent created in the 1990s by reporting a scientific challenge to the HIV theory of Aids, presaging the hostile response to science critics of Covid today. In this series he details findings that form the substance of his newly updated and expanded book, How HIV/Aids Set the Stage for the Covid Crisis, on the controversy. It is available here. You can read Part 1 of this series here, Part 2 here and Part 3 here.
By Neville Hodgkinson | TCW Defending Freedom | July 6, 2023
Yesterday I explained how detection of an enzyme called reverse transcriptase (RT), previously thought to prove the presence of a retrovirus but later found to be abundant in cells, lay at the root of the theory that HIV causes Aids. This is one key finding in an 80-page deconstruction of the entire concept of HIV posted in July 2017 by a group of scientists based in Perth, Western Australia.
Their work has been ignored, censored and suppressed in much the same way as experienced by critics of the panic-stricken, exploitative, ego-driven, cruel and hugely damaging responses to the Covid pandemic.
The Perth paper is not a loose philosophical challenge to germ theory in general. It is a forensic examination of every detail of the science that has been taken as proof of the HIV/Aids hypothesis.
Misinterpretation over the presence of RT paved the way for further foundational errors, the next of which was the bypassing of a vital step in virus identification known as purification. This entails separating particles of the virus from cel...

WATCH VIDEO: Star of Sound of Freedom, the most powerful whistleblower movie released in decades, says U.S. 3-letter agencies involved in child-sex trafficking "IndyWatch Feed War"
I spent part of my Fourth of July holiday inside a movie theater, something I havent done in many years, and I did it not because I wanted to be entertained but because I wanted to be informed.
The film Sound of Freedom, a true story based on the life and work of ex-Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard and his Operation Underground, was way more than I expected. I ended up being informed, enraged, moved to tears, inspired. I strongly encourage everyone to see it.
Everything makes more sense now as to why the Biden regime has opened up the U.S.-Mexico border and invited the world to come to it. He is cooperating with the human trafficking cartels who are making more money than ever, and theyve been at this a long time.
The United States is the biggest producer of child porn and the biggest consumer in the child sex-slave industry. This is both shameful and damning. Sound of Freedom was completed five years ago but the producers had to overcome countless hurdles, including being blackballed by those who finance films, distribute films and promote films. At least one major studio agreed to finance the film and then backed out. But they finally got this masterpiece to market and its in theaters now. If enough people see it, I see the potential for major change in America. Let us pray it is so.
Jim Caviezel, who plays the role of Ballard, calls the child sex trade the biggest evil known to mankind, and its going on right now.
And the U.S. government is covering up for this industry, as is the corrupt mainstream media and its hired fact checkers.
If you were a politician, or someone with influence over a politician, I would think all other issues pale in comparison to this one. Yet, they are silent.
The neocons cannot stop scheming and posturing for war with Russia, but they dont want to talk about this dark stain on Americas moral standing in the world.
Why are they silent? Because selling children for profit is big business in America and the wealth gets spread around to many other nations as well.
This is a $152 billion a year business, Caviezel said. It has surpassed the illegal arms trade and is second only to illegal drug trafficking.
The cartels can sell a kilo of cocaine one time. But they can sell a child five to 10 times per night.

Zelensky blames slow pace of Ukrainian counteroffensive on delay in getting critical weapons and shortage of artillery shells "IndyWatch Feed War"
ZELENSKY: I TOLD THEM IF WE START LATER, IT WILL GO SLOWER: In a candid interview with CNN, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted his countrys counteroffensive is bogged down because of Russias effective deployment of anti-tank mines, a situation that might have been avoided if he could have begun operation months ago.
I wanted our counteroffensive happening much earlier because everyone understood that if the counteroffensive will be unfolding later, then a much bigger part of our territory will be mined. Thus, we give our enemy time and possibilities in order to place more mines and prepare their defense lines, Zelensky told CNNs Erin Burnett in an interview conducted earlier this week in the Black Sea port city of Odesa.
Zelensky said he begged the U.S. and European nations for more weapons sooner, warning that the plodding pace of approval and deliveries would cost lives on the battlefield. I told them that we would like to start our counteroffensive earlier. And we will need all the weapons and materials for that. Why? Simply because if we start later, it will go slower, and we will have losses of lives because everything is heavily mined, and we will have to go through it all.
British intelligence confirmed this week that Russia had refined tactics that have effectively blunted Ukrainian armor assaults by using far more mines than usual to slow down tanks, and then attacking them with drones and helicopters.
WE DONT HAVE THE RELEVANT WEAPONS: Zelensky was careful to balance his complaints with effusive praise for President Joe Biden and the U.S. Congress. Its difficult for Ukraine to survive without the U.S. support and its a fact. Im very direct when saying this. Without the U.S.s help, it will become a frozen conflict.
But Zelensky said the Biden administrations decision to withhold longer-range ATACMS [Army Tactical Missile System], built by Lockheed Martin, has hobbled Ukraines ability to take out Russian supply lines, which is critical to its strategy of wearing down front-line fighters who are dug-in in an elaborate system of trenches.
When we talk about ATACMS, they are very important because we can hit some long-distance targets without losing our people. The fact [is] that Russia has advantage on the ground and has more long-range weaponry, he told CNN. Will this accelerate our moving forward? Yes, 100% , because in some directions, it will give us opportunities to start...
Ukrainian Army Academy building in Lviv destroyed in a retaliatory attack on Makeevka "IndyWatch Feed War"
What follows are two reports on a Russian missile strike on Lviv. The first is a Western MSM report that emphasizes civilian casualties and all but ignores the Ukrainian Army Academy, which appears to have been the main target of the Russian hypersonic missile.
To add insult to injury, you have to pay to see the report in full.
In contrast, the second report is a Russian video that is much more informative. It fills in all the gaps that the Western MSM fails to report on. For example, it covers Russian claims that the hypersonic missile also destroyed nearby buildings housing NATO command centers.
Whatever happens next, this conflict is now shifting further West, closer to Ukraines border with Poland. Ed.

There are fewer members of Dil ireann today from religious minorities than there were 30 years ago "IndyWatch Feed Politics.eu"
Its a matter of surprise to me that there are fewer members of Dil ireann today from religious minorities than there were 30 years ago, despite the Republic being a much more diverse society.
At that time there were three members of the Church of Ireland in the Dil Ivan Yates of Fine Gael, Jan OSullivan of Labour and the late Johnny Fox, an independent.
There were also three Jews Ben Briscoe of Fianna Fil, Alan Shatter of Fine Gael and the late Mervyn Taylor of Labour, in addition to one representative each from the Presbyterian community (the late Seymour Crawford of Fine Gael) and the Muslim community (Moosajee Bhamjee of Labour).
By contrast, today, there are no Jews and no Muslims, there is still one Presbyterian (Fine Gaels Heather Humphreys, Minister for Social Protection and for Rural and Community Development), but there is actually one fewer Teachta Dla (TD) from the Church of Ireland community Neale Richmond of Fine Gael and Violet-Anne Wynne, now independent but previously Sinn Fin, are the only ones.
With 160 members of the Dil, you would expect one more from the Church of Ireland community to reflect its share of the national population.
Bear in mind that the Church of Ireland population of the Republic has grown dramatically in the last three decades, from just over 89,000 in 1991 to over 124,000 at the last census.
Presbyterians in the Republic have traditionally been particularly associated with the border counties, and Ms Humphreys continues a tradition of their being elected for Fine Gael in those areas; in addition to her Cavan-Monaghan predecessor, Seymour Crawford, one recalls the late Jim White in Donegal South-West.
Presbyterian numbers in the Republic have also seen significant growth in recent decades, as former moderator David Bruce spoke about in an interview with the Newsletter on February 17, 2020.
While immigration is a factor in this increase, it is far from being the only one conversions from a RC background include such high profile individuals as Dean Dermot Dunne of Christchurch, a former Catholic priest of the Cloyne diocese, but what is probably more significant is the fact that many more children of mixed marriages are now brought up as Protestants, in contrast to the days when Ne Temere ruled.
I dont believe for a moment there would be any prejudice against Protestants seeking election these days in the much more secular republic, so there are no easy answers as to why there are fewer representatives from the growing Protestant community.
I am aware there are a few Church of Ireland people in the Seanad, such as the Green Partys Pippa Hackett and the independents David Norris and Victor Boyhan.
There are no figures available for local government, but I recall in my days covering Offaly County Council, there was only one Church of Ireland member among the councillors, Fine Gaels Percy Clendennen from Kinnitt...
Secrets Unveiled: Inside Wagner Warlord's Palace Raid, Alligators, Wigs, and Shocking Discoveries "IndyWatch Feed World"
Images of the raid also include a large closet containing many different wigs of varying styles and colours, from grey to mousy brown. Photos purporting to show Prigozhin wearing the wigs as part of various disguises were leaked to state-backed Russian Telegram channels. The quality of some disguises is laughable, leading to speculation that they may have been doctored in an attempt to further discredit the Wagner chief. But Prigozhin's supporters declared the leaking of the images may flout Russia's strict national security laws, suggesting the oligarch was acting as a state agent, given Wagner's ties to Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU. It comes after the warlord launched what appeared to be an armed insurrection against Putin less than two weeks ago - which was soon halted after Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko helped to broker a deal to end the conflict. Lukashenko claimed today that Prigozhin had returned to St Petersburg - although the location of the...
PETER ROFF and GORDON JONES: One easy fix to un-woke higher education "IndyWatch Feed World"
The call for revisions to the process of accrediting institutions of higher learning is beginning to echo through the nation's capital. The latest word on the subject comes from the Heritage Foundation, which recently published a short paper urging steps that, if taken, would smash the accreditation cabal run out of the United States Department of Education. The Heritage paper written by a team made up of Lindsey Burke, Ph.D., head of the Center for Education Policy at Heritage, Adam Kissel, a Visiting Fellow at the Center, and two scholars from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, Armand Alacbay and Kyle Beltramini - reiterates many of the observations we have made in our recent essays on the subject. They too believe the process by which institutions of higher education are accredited, and the benefits that ensue from that status, have been corrupted by the education octopus.

I was right. The COVID vaccines have killed massive numbers of people and the government covered it up. The paper, published as a pre-print, shows 74% of deaths post-vax due to the vax.
Head on over to Peter McCulloughs Substack for the details and please consider subscribing to his Substack. Hes terrific, a great friend, a great scientist, and a man of great courage.
This is a pre-print so not yet peer-reviewed.
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4496137
Im sure they will try to get this paper killed. It is amazing that The Lancet is a teller of truth in this case.
The paper shows 74% of deaths post-vax could be attributed to the vaccine being a cause of death.
The results are strongly consistent with the Schwab paper where 71% of the deaths appeared to be consistent with a vaccine death:
They basically were looking for the cleanest proof of death, but its likely that all 71% of the cases (25 out of 35) died from the vaccine, its just harder to prove that.
The question we all should be asking is why are we first hearing about this now? How could all of the CDCs analyses show no relation to the vaccine? And why arent we allowed to see them?

Two Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank "IndyWatch Feed War"
Two Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank
Israeli forces killed two Palestinians on Friday morning and three others were wounded in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.
The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that the two Palestinians killed were 34-year-old Khairy Shaheen, and 32-year-old Hamza Moayed Muhammad Maqboul.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa said Israeli troops had cordoned off a house where the two Palestinians were and that they had been "executed". It reported that clashes with residents later broke out.
Israeli forces raided the old city of Nablus surrounding a house, following which armed clashes broke out.
The latest killings brings the number of Palestinians killed this week to 15, following a large-scale Israeli raid in the Jenin refugee camp, in the northern West Bank.
On Thursday an Israeli soldier was killed in the West Bank near t...
Jewish Banker Funded American Revolution "IndyWatch Feed War"
(Money The Life-Blood of Politics, above, Chaim Solomon)
In August of 1781, as the war drew closer to victory for the US, George Washington determined that $20,000 was needed to finance the French campaign to Yorktown. Robert Morris told him there were no funds and no more credit available, Washington replied: Send for Haym Solomon. The money was raised and, as they say, the rest is history.
https://jewishinamerica.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/i-am-a-jew-and-a-freemason/
The role of this Jewish Mason is downplayed for obvious reasons. An abridged account of Chaim Salomons life is posted below.
Reading between the lines, clearly, he was the conduit for the Illuminati Jewish funds that financed the American Revolution.
All major revolutions (English, American, French, and Russian) were engineered by these Jewish bankers using as instrument Freemasonry, a satanic cult based on the Jewish Cabala.
Revolution was designed to sweep away the old order based on God, and bring in a satanic world government where evil is good, sick is healthy and falsehood is truth. Replacing God with Satan is the true meaning of revolution, and the NWO.
These bankers created the US to advance this goal. This explains why the majority of founders, Presidents, and Congressmen were (and are) Freemasons; and why Masonic symbolism is everywhere.
It also explains why, having served its purpose, the US is now being undermined. During the current crisis, the words of Dr. James Wardner resonate clearly:
I am here to tell you that the declining American standard of living has been PLANNED from the beginningat the highest levels of American government a plan to fail, a plan to create insecurity and uncertainty, a plan to make the American people serfs in the New World Order! THE PLANNED DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA (1993)
We are also reminded of General Cornwallis words, on his surrender to George Washington:
Your churches will be used to teach the Jews religion and in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses, and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of Freemasonry.&...

WHO warns of imminent extreme weather events "IndyWatch Feed Africa"
If you wanted to run a global depopulation program then Tedros Ghebreyesus would be an ideal candidate for World Health Organization Director-General. Thats because before overseeing the mass vaccination program during the Covid-19 pandemic he had managed an ethnic cleansing program in his homeland, Ethiopia.
According to American economist David Steinman, Tedros Ghebreyesus was one of three officials who directed Ethiopias security forces from 2013 to 2015, when they were engaged in a ruthless campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Amhara, Konso, Oromo and Somali tribes.
Nobel Prize nominee David Steinman lodged a formal complaint against Tedros Ghebreyesus on these grounds with the International Criminal Court in 2020.
If Steinmans allegations are true, then Tedros Ghebreyesu would be the perfect choice as Director-General of the World Health Organization. From this position he would be able to facilitate the elites plans for global depopulation and do so on the pretext of protecting public health. Ed.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus has said climate change will drive a surge in extreme weather events in 2023, pointing to record-breaking temperatures around the globe this week.
Speaking during a Wednesday press briefing, Tedros said the climate crisis is now among the major factors determining human health outcomes, warning that global warming could ultimately produce a wave of hunger, migration and disease.
Over the coming months, we expect a range of extreme weather events, including droughts, floods, hurricanes, and heatwaves, all of which harm human health, he said, also noting that Monday marked the hottest day on record for average temperatures around the world.
A prolonged drought and heat wave in the Horn of Africa has already had a major impact, putting great strain on local healthcare services, Tedros added. Containing Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda, the region recently suffered its worst drought in decades, with nearly 60 million people now food insecure.
Some countries have seen the highest levels of severely malnourished children in years, largely thanks to famine, the WHO chief said. While the drought in the region has given way to heavy...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles produce five times more greenhouse gases than claimed by manufacturers "IndyWatch Feed War"
A new report has revealed that plug-in hybrid
electric vehicles (PHEVs)
produce much more greenhouse gases than their manufacturers
claim.
A progress report by the Climate Change Committee (CCC), an independent public body in the United Kingdom, said that PHEVs produce up to five times more greenhouse gases than expected. PHEVs combine a traditional combustion engine with a battery and electric motors.
Chris Stark, the CEO of the CCC, stated that achieving net-zero targets is worryingly slow. He even criticized the heavy reliance of the government on carbon capture instead of asking people to reduce their high-carbon activities.
Stark noted that the contribution of the transportation sector to overall emissions, known as the carbon budget, is higher than anticipated. He revealed that the government now expects surface transport emissions to exceed the levels outlined in the net-zero strategy by the mid-2030s. (Related: Bombshell science study shows that electric cars are DIRTIER for the planet than diesel vehicles.)
Furthermore, Stark said the latest data shows that carbon savings from plug-in hybrid cars are lower than expected. The actual carbon savings are three to five times lower than the initial assumptions. This revelation questioned the environmental effectiveness of PHEVs and their contribution to the overall emission reduction goals.
In a similar study, the think tank Transport & Environment organization, in collaboration with the Graz University of Technology in Austria, conducted tests proving that the latest PHEV models, including the BMW 3 Series 330e xDrive, Peugeot 308 Hybrid 225 and Renault Megane E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid 160, emit at least t...

Where did the name Storm Drain come from? Use your imagination. Storm Drain was the first (former) grandson and former scion of Alabaster Silverfish of The New York Silverfish clan who made their original money in garment bags; having branched into body bags after The Depression hit, they made a mint during the next war, and are still going strong in the new 20s.

Report Back on First Week of Eviction Defense and Blockade in Eugene "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
Report from Eugene, Oregon on first week of active eviction resistance campaign and police blockade.
In the last scene of Salt of the Earth, striking Mexican mine workers hear the call resounding through the hills: Eviction! Eviction! Piling into truck-beds, rambling through the hills, they arrive to watch their comrades worldly belongings carried piece by scrap into Pinkertons arms until they notice their strength, together, as workers, as the dispossessed, as the salt of the earth, and together they force the pigs, gun thugs, and landlords out.
In Eugene, Oregon today, the pigs were pushed out to cries of One Solution, Revolution, and the eviction two or three dozen riot police could not serve was void in the face of community defense. As we settle back into the space that we liberated together, as workers, as the salt of the earth, following the Eugene Police Departments and Lane County Sheriffs failed attempt at an eviction, big tents come streaming in, followed by food, coolers, ice, couches, chairs, and tables. The radical library is still here, and what was last week a stoop watch slash cop watch is now becoming a full-blown eviction defense occupation.
Against the strength of renter capital, extractivist landlords, and all the pigs and all their guns that enforce the pig rule of private property the world over, a working-class Black family has demanded housing, safety, and dignity and a community has begun to form in the struggle.
After the first days jubilation of turning back the landlords ordered storage unit and the relief that the pigs didnt come, potentially expecting less resistance, organization began to blossom food, electricity, wi-fi, a welcome table, the aforementioned library (zines are teeming and there are some sick editions from cooltexts.github.io), robust scheduling, media, design, legal assistance, et cetera et cetera et cetera.
Eugene Jail Support facilitated know your rights workshops about the potential risks involved in trespassing, and the local prison abolition project hosted a political prisoner letter writing to comrades locked up in Atlanta, (it goes without saying that Cop City will never be built), prisoners from the George Floyd uprisings, and long-term political prisoners keeping Marius Masons June 11th call in mind.

Why Netherlands Wants to Ban Mobile Phones in Classrooms "IndyWatch Feed Tech"
Multiple sites are reporting on The Netherlands' recent decision on the need to ban mobile and "smart" devices from Dutch classrooms.
"Even though mobile phones are almost intertwined with our lives, they do not belong in the classroom," Education Minister Robbert Dijkgraaf said .
"Students must be able to concentrate there and be given every opportunity to learn well. We know from scientific research that mobile phones disrupt this," he added.
-- The Star
Mobiles, tablets and smartwatches are getting in the way of students' learning and will not be allowed in class from next year, the Dutch government said.
"There is increasing evidence that mobile phones have a harmful effect during lessons", it said.
Mobile phones, tablets and smartwatches will be largely banned from classrooms in the Netherlands from Jan. 1, 2024, the Dutch government said on Tuesday, in a bid to limit distractions during lessons.
Devices will only be allowed if they are specifically needed, for instance during lessons on digital skills, for medical reasons or for people with disabilities.
-- Reuters
The Dutch government is banning mobile phones, tablets and smartwatches from classrooms to minimize distractions, unless the electronic devices are of solid need to the students.
The Education Ministry of the Netherlands said on Tuesday the ban will be enforced starting January 1, 2024. Exceptions will be made for lessons on digital skills, or if students with disabilities or other medical conditions need the devices.

Roasted! Bud Light tries to build excitement on Twitter and the replies are comedic gold "IndyWatch Feed World"
It's a wrap for Bud Light. Ever since the Anheuser-Busch brand decided to launch an advertising campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney (and I still can't get over how they chose March Madness to do it), they've been absolutely blasted with criticism and lash back. It's been bad for Bud Light in every way imaginable. From their sales taking a nosedive to their stock prices taking a hit to getting absolutely roasted on social media, the beer giant hasn't been able to catch a break. And their collapse isn't stopping anytime soon either, as I just recently blogged about how their decline is expected to go into the fall football season!

And that's being nice, it's an outright disaster. Just take their latest tweet for example.

Scientists hope to tech the heck out of eDNA sampling with drones, robots "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"
SINGAPORE A huge drone hums and hovers above the canopy of a tree. Just as one might start to think that the show is over, the action begins. Slowly, a robotic arm with a sheet of sampling paper attached at the end drops down from the drone. On reaching the canopy, the arm rubs the paper against the vegetation repeatedly. Over the next hour, ETH BiodivX a team of scientists, artificial intelligence experts and drone pilots from Switzerland launches two more drones at Windsor Nature Park in Singapore. One is fitted with a pump and filter to collect water from a stream in the forest, and the other flies above the canopy to collect air samples. For all three, the end goal is a common one: collect DNA samples from the environment. ETH BiodivX wasnt alone in automating the collection of DNA samples. At the semifinals of a $10 million rainforest conservation technology competition, at least six out of the 13 competing teams used different iterations and combinations of robots and drones to facilitate DNA sampling from the forest. The five-year competition is organized by California-based nonprofit XPRIZE Foundation in a bid to identify technology that can help automate the assessment of rainforest biodiversity.

So far, no "visible indications of mines or explosives" have been observed, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in the statement. The agency's team requested additional access to certain parts of the facility, including the rooftops of reactor units 3 and 4, as well as turbine halls and cooling system facilities, he added.

A Lancet review of 325 autopsies after Covid vaccination found that 74% of the deaths were caused by the vaccine - but the study was removed within 24 hours.

However, less than 24 hours later, the study was removed and a note appeared stating: "This preprint has been removed by Preprints with the Lancet because the study's conclusions are not supported by the study methodology." While the study had not undergone any part of the peer-review process, the note implies it fell foul of "screening criteria".

Climate Change Lockdowns Are Coming? "IndyWatch Feed World"
QUESTION: There has been talk that Trudeau will use the fires to claim a climate crisis, and that will justify lockdowns again. Is there any truth to these rumors?
FS
ANSWER: There is definitely the idea of using climate change to justify lockdowns. However, this is really not for climate change but for crowd control. They are well aware of the rising discontent civilly, which historically produces revolution. They are pushing for world war III for two reasons.
First, it will be the excuse to default on all sovereign debt as they are also attracted to the Schwab-Soros solution of a one-world government. If that is the case, then all previous sovereign debt will be null and void. The United States did that with the debt of the Continental Congress when they created the United States. Thats why you can collect the revolutionary currency that was never honored.
Secondly, they fear revolution is in the w...
US Housing Prices Push Higher "IndyWatch Feed World"
Fannie Mae admitted their forecast of declining home prices was incorrect. They initially projected that housing would fall by 1.2% in 2023, followed by 2.2% in 2024. Housing prices remain strong because this in an inventory crisis. There are 47% less available single-family houses on the market compared to the start of the COVID crisis. Homebuilders cannot keep up with demand, and the demand for investment-bought rentals is outpacing single-family sales.
Our Residential Index elected a Yearly Bullish Reversal at the end of 2012. That confirmed the long-term trend had changed. However, urban condos and commercial properties were forming a divergence. I assumed that was being caused by the debt and rising taxes in cities. In that regard, I suppose I was only partially correct, for the rest had been the braindead response to COVID and failed QE policies. The failure of QE caused a collapse in confidence in the future. When people fear the future, they save. Increasing the money supply does nothing until the people decide to spend it.

Vanlords A New Form of Urban Encampment "IndyWatch Feed World"
Ive discussed Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) at length as they have been marketed as a new way to force people into perpetual renting. They have even advertised micro-ADUs that are no more than a shed with plumbing. Since addressing the housing crisis would go against plans for the Great Reset, people are turning to desperate measures.
Vanlords is the newly deemed term for people who rent out RVs to desperate families. This has become prominent in Los Angeles, California, where thousands of rental RVs have appeared. The government found a way to house all the illegals who Biden let in the country. The citizens sleep on the street or in vans. Vanlords, as L.A. City Councilmember Traci Park calls them, typically buy RVs at auction, then either drive or get them towed to their location of choice. These are not completely legal, but they are increasing in popularity as people have no alternative to affordable housing. A lot of times, the inhabitants of the vehicle dont know the name of the person who rented it from, they dont have valid contact information, a lot of these vehicles are not registered, theyre not adequately insured, said Park.
Not all RVs are hooked up to plumbing, and they are not legally hooked up to any electrical system. People have begun dumping waste into storm drains and using public facilities for basic hygiene. This is a step up from a large homeless encampment. Cities are working on changing municipal codes to permit these eyesores to line residential streets. This is not an adequate solution to homelessness and once more hurts the middle class as the upper class would have no need for a few hundred per month. This is another form of urban encampment that will drive down property values and create a dangerous situation for residents, who dont have many rights, and neighboring residents.
CDC Promotes Child Endangerment Chestfeeding "IndyWatch Feed World"
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is supposed to provide guidance on infection and disease control measures. So why is this corrupt agency discussing food and nutrition for infants? Transgender and nonbinary-gendered individuals may give birth and breastfeed or feed at the chest (chestfeed), the CDC states. The gender identity or expression of transgender individuals is different from their sex at birth, and that, the gender identity of nonbinary-gendered individuals does not fit neatly into either man or woman.
Now it makes sense why my insurance company has been charging me for maternal care. The CDC further states, An individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed Some families may have other preferred terminology for how they feed their babies, such as nursing, chestfeeding, or bodyfeeding. The psychological warfare has gone too far. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
The CDC is encouraging men, women, and (insert latest gender here) to feed newborn children through appropriate lactation management. Some men take hormones that mimic lactation but its not real milk. The FDA stated this substance can pass into breast milk in small amounts and can sometimes give babies an irregular heartbeat as a result. It also has not been tested. Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Jane Orient told The Daily Mail, The CDC has a responsibility to talk about the health risks, but they have been derelict in doing that. Dr Stuart Fischer, an internal medicine physician in New York, stated plain and simple You cant fool Mother Nature. There are no long-term studies on this subject. If its been tested a handful of times, how would we know the long-range effect? Dr. Fischer shared. The short-term is one thing, but the long-term in terms of physical and mental illness who knows? Its an emerging field, to put it mildly.
Yet another instance where politics surpasses science and all logic. This is child endangerment and infants now must suffer because of politicians championing mentally ill men who want to normalize depravity. Women cannot even breastfeed in public without harassment. The CDC lost all credibility after COVID, but now its just a weapon of the far-left.

MOSCOW, July 6. /TASS/. Plans to relocate religious relics from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery to the West make it clear that Ukraine is looked upon as a colony, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on Thursday.
"Its a tradition for colonial powers to behave like bandits toward the national and cultural heritages of the countries they view as their colonies. Undoubtedly, they consider Ukraine to be their colony, not just their fiefdom," she pointed out.
According to Zakharova, stealing national valuables is typical of the Wests dealings with diverse regions around the world, and Western museums have turned into "repositories for stolen items."
Russias Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said earlier that the Kiev authorities and UNESCO officials had reached an agreement to relocate Christian relics from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev to museums in the Vatican, Germany, Italy and France, citing the need "to save them from Russian missile attacks." According to the SVR, an inventory of church property has been taken and funds have been allocated to transport the items to Europe. Special motor vehicles have been prepared, some of which are equipped with refrigerated climate-controlled units.
