One of the constituents of nuclear fusion is helium-3. This material is rare on this planet, but apparently is abundant on the moon. Nuclear fusion is what makes the sun function. The challenge is to recreate this form of energy and in doing so, could produce a cleaner and environmentally friendly and constant source of power. Research is advancing on this energy, but you can understand why some countries find reaching the moon important. Mining for helium-3 is no doubt a big objective.

In February, Elon Musk dared to complain on Twitter that “Nobody is pushing this war more than Nuland.” He was referring to Victoria Nuland, the US undersecretary of state for political affairs, who has served four administrations as a pillar of the Department of State. The only administration that didn’t request her services was Donald Trump’s. He may have judged Nuland’s personality as incompatible with his “America First” philosophy. Trump was well aware of the fact that Nuland was the wife of neoconservative thinker, Robert Kagan, one of the most visible instigators of George W Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

Trump based his primary campaign on breaking with fellow Republican Bush’s disastrous foreign policy that had produced unending chaos in the Middle East. The Donald felt perfectly capable of independently crafting his own disastrous policies. He demonstrated his capacity when he pulled the US out of the Iran deal, the Paris climate accord and wiggled out of various nuclear disarmament agreements (the INF Treaty, Open Skies and START).

In the 20th century presidential campaign, Trump had established himself as the anti-Republican establishment candidate. He scored his first major victory in 2016 when, waging an assault on the folly of George Bush’s invasion of Iraq, he quickly eliminated from the primary race the favored Republican candidate, Jeb Bush, George’s brother.

What may seem more surprising is the trust Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama’s Secretary of State, placed in Nuland when she appointed a symbol of neo-con ideology her State Department Spokesperson. Was Clinton’s intention to show the world that, on her watch, despite President Barack Obama’s image as a peacemaker, foreign policy would not deviate from the outrageous belligerence of the Bush era? Clinton’s successor, John Kerry, in 2013 appointed Nuland Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. He promptly sent her to Ukraine to prod on a movement that, under her guidance, would produce a spectacular coup d’état.

Musk was obviously aware of Nuland past when he accused her of being the principal promoter of a tragically uncontrollable war in Ukraine. Shortly after Musk’s tweet, journalist David Ignatius mentioned the tweet in an interview with Nuland. Her response reads as an astonishing but not surprising non sequitur. “Well, I would start with a basic fact here, which I’m confident is well known, which is if this war is to end, it could end tomorrow if Vladimir Putin chose to end it and to withdraw his troops. So this is not about us.”

Nuland’s denial of agency has become the standard truism used in the West to close the debate on how the war in Ukraine should be settled. Even anti-establishment Jeremy Scahill of the Intercept recently insisted that “there’s one person who could end this tomorrow, and that’s Vladimir Putin.” He had been criticizing Biden’s risky escalation in Ukraine and his duplicity concerning the Nord Stream attack. Scahill probably felt it necessary to use the facile disclaimer to deflect the suspicion that he was pro-Russian. In contrast, Nuland utters the cliché to counter Musk’s accusation of being a warmonger. By adding “this is not about us,” she wants the public to believe that she is just an innocent bystander with no influence over events.

Nuland’s notorious intercepted phone call with US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt in February 2014 tells a different story. She appears as a kind of behind-the-scenes revolutionary leader. The ultimate irony is that the pretext for the people’s protests was Ukraine’s candidacy to become a member of the European Union. In her phone call, what did Nuland have to say about that issue? “f*ck the EU!”

But, just as important, which women should star alongside him?

This is the venue of probably the most classified air base on Earth. It extends for 4km underground. It is situated on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation, North Mexico. Claims are that it has a 7 storey underground facility where joint human and alien experiments take place
On 27th July 2023, three military veterans testified in Congress that the US government has operated a secret " multi-decade" reverse engineering program of recovered space vessels, and non-human biologics from crash sites.
Could DULCE be connected to area 51 which has a top secret reputation?

What has the world become. A million years to climb out of the trees and caves and now man is returning to them. Gangs take over and run rampant. The un-developed countries flood north to take over developed, leaching off the lib fools using hard working taxpayers money to pamper them. Meanwhile the illegals demand it all, refuse to let go of their proud homeland, , and will take any cash they can get to send home so support their family and when they have enough to live well..hi it back to those countries.
Meanwhile homeless and poor get shown the door.
Major cities that once were Americas pride are now garbage dumps filled with muggers, looters, shop lifters, druggies and traffickers. So main corporations, companies and citizens flee to safer, non lib states and towns.
A major Chicago building, next to the old Sears tower, just sold at 90% of what it had been bought for.
Stores can't lose any more good, risk employees safety and hang it up. Illegals wander into suburbs either robbing or knocking on doors demanding food, clothes or cash.
Now cities are looking to raise taxes to take care of illegals. And when the money and handouts run out, what will a million illegals be doing?
Yet we have bleeding hearts demanding government do more for people who hate America. Biden looks at raising taxes and spending more. Mom told me when I was a kid, Dems are the party of tax and spend. Man, was she right!
Bidenomics is booming. Meanwhile down on the streets, stores raise prices and offer less. Wages go up and costs go up. Rents rise so people chose rent or food. Big Pharma invents pills and a disease to shove them at you for. Never heard of it, but, hey..believe the ads..you suffer from it.
People are spending. Savings. Credit cards. But, both are maxing out. Then what? Censorship is alive and well. Say the wrong thing and get deleted. Pretty soon, the people will be deleted. Soylent Green anyone. Oh, right, you don't deserve the good crackers. You ARE the good crackers.
Be a whistle blower in the US now and end up Putinized.
Work hard and watch your company close. Get a raise and see that automaton move in to take your job.
Read about the inflation my dad lived through in Germany after WW1. He always said the US would go the same route. He was right.

I grew up by a small town. Fridays stores stayed open til 9 and the whole area shopped. We had 3 drugstores, 3 hardwares, two department stores, two dime stores, two shoe stores, a few womens shops and one mens. The downtown was mainly a square of a couple blocks either way. It took my parents and I an hour to walk due to stopping to chat with people we knew.
Teens and moms bought Tangee lipstick, Maybeline red eyebrow pencils and eyeliner cakes, Blue Waltz or Ben Hue perfume at the dime stores. Or better brands at the drug stores. Kids haunted them for toys. Shultz Dimestore owned a myna bird who startled you when he said hello. Look up. His cage is on top of a shelf. Woolworth had even a lunch counter. Marble, just like the one in Wilz Drug. That one is still there, even if they changed stores 3 times. Atkinson's Department store had everything for clothes and house on the main floor. Second was childrens. And the top floor was fabrics. Men found their tools and more at the hardware stores. What did you need..follow to the back, blow the dust off..had one just in case. Or follow down the wood stairs to the stone walled basement to check understock. Still no luck. OK, will order it from the catalog next stock order and call you when it's in.
We had two furniture stores, on appliance store, a record and office supply store. Even a big Montgomery Wards store. we had it all once. Now the store fronts are over half empty, those stores long closed as owners got old and kids moved on.
The other needs were met by catalogs. Wards and Sears and Robuck. Every spring came the small catalogs. Summer brought the massive main one. Fall another small to be followed by the massive winter one. Best were the Wish books. Aldens. Sears, Wards, Pennys and Spiegel.
These were the thinner Christmas ones. Mom shopped for that special dress, dad that new shirt or shoes. And kids wore them out looking at toys galore. When I was little, mom and dad bought what they thought was nice and fun. Once I ended up with a wind up train set. Mom told me later. Dad had always wanted a train set. He looked at the price to get one for me. Choked at it and got the wind up. She said in the evenings after I went to bed, in the month before Christmas..he went in his basement office, set it up and played with it.
When I chose toys, I would dog ear pages in the catalogs and circle ones. A month or two before Christmas, mom would tell me..NOW! You go through and decide what you REALLY want and mark FIVE or them. And then dad and I will go over them and decide what or if you get.
I never believed in Santa. Dad said he paid and wanted me to know it. Plus, Santa was lying to me and how could I trust them when I found out.
One year I wanted a new BB rifle. Under the tree, turned up a long gift. No, dad said..I got you an umbrella for when you wait for the bus. By Christmas eve I almost believed him and was prepared to be overjoyed at an umbrella. It was my rifle.
Toys back then were metal..cars, construction, tractors, doll houses. We wore cowboy hats and fake coonskin caps. Wore cap guns in hostlers and shot real wood arrows from wooden bows we strung. We dragged little red wagons, slid on red flyer sleds, shot BB guns and sling shots. Our toys were the start and we had to create the rest.
Now we shop box stores and click a mouse. Alone in our homes.
