War – A Dangerous Web: Middle East, Russia, and China The Neocon Agenda   The escalating Middle East conflict is intricately linked to efforts to destabilize Russia, driven by a group of influential neoconservatives. Their strategy, rooted in the 1990s, aimed to eliminate perceived threats to Israel—namely Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad, and Muammar Gaddafi—under the belief that this would secure peace for Israel. This vision, however, has unleashed chaos with far-reaching consequences.   The neoconservative movement, shaped by key figures in conservative intellectual circles, forged connections in the 1970s between prominent families in Philadelphia. These ties influenced Benjamin Netanyahu, aligning him with the neocon ideology. The removal of Saddam, Assad, and Gaddafi became a central objective, pursued through U.S. foreign policy.   Middle East Machinations   The Iraq invasion was justified by fabricated claims of weapons of mass destruction...

China Poised to Lead Global Nuclear Energy with Massive Thorium Find   Thorium Discovery   China has uncovered a 1-million-ton thorium deposit, valued at $178 billion, capable of powering the nation for 60,000 years. Thorium, a radioactive metal three times more abundant than uranium, produces energy equivalent to 200 tons of uranium or 3.5 million tons of coal per ton.   “Wars have been fought over oil and gas, yet a clean energy solution has been under our feet all along,” a Chinese scientist noted. Thorium is less toxic than uranium, with its radioactive waste losing toxicity in hundreds of years, compared to thousands for uranium-235. Thorium reactors emit no greenhouse gases and can power molten salt reactors, heavy water reactors, and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.   India’s Thorium Leadership   India leads in thorium-based nuclear technology, with multi-billion-dollar projects underway. Its Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors ...

The Erosion of Israeli Exceptionalism and the West’s Proxy State in Crisis Israel has been embroiled in conflict with its neighbors for nearly two years, a period marked by escalating violence and regional instability. The latest chapter began on October 7, 2023, with a devastating terrorist attack led by Hamas, prompting Israel to launch a sweeping military campaign. This operation has since expanded, drawing in nearly every country in the Middle East and positioning Israel at the heart of the region’s geopolitical turmoil. The conflict has even pulled Iran, a nation long cautious about direct confrontation, into the fray, with U.S. backing raising the stakes to unprecedented levels. For Iran, the situation presents a stark dilemma: retreat and lose face or engage and risk catastrophic escalation. Yet, the deeper story lies not with Iran or the broader Middle East, but with Israel itself—a nation long regarded as the West’s strategic outpost in a turbulent region. Since its founding i...
