"Today, when the international community speaks of nuclear threats in the Middle East, the subject is invariably Iran. Yet the most immediate and substantial threat โ Israelโs nuclear arsenal โ remains untouchable.
"This double standard has evolved into a kind of doctrine in global diplomacy, in which allegiance to Israelโs security necessitates the suspension of logic and justice. How can a state with hundreds of unmonitored nuclear warheads be framed as a stabilizing force while another under strict IAEA oversight is cast as an existential threat?"

Restaurants in Coloradoโs capital are only allowed to serve water to guests if they ask, according to new restrictions by the Denver Board of Water Commissioners.
The rules were issued in the Mile High City after the commissioners declared a Stage 1 Drought and made plans to seek a 20 percent reduction in water use. City officials expect drought conditions to last until April 30, 2027.
The update will affect many businesses, including the hospitality industry.
โLodging establishments shall not change sheets more often than every four days for guests staying more than one night, except for health or safety reasons or upon express request of guests,โ the Denver Board of Water Commissioners stated.
Drivers who attempt to wash their car are told to use a bucket or a hand-held hose equipped with an automatic shut-off nozzle if they donโt use a commercial car wash.
Residents can water their grass only two days per week, according to the schedule provided by city officials, but it is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., when the sun is up.
โCurrent conditions indicate that this is going to be an exceptionally challenging year for our water supply,โ Nathan Elder, manager of water supply for Denver, said at a Denver Board of Water Commissioners meeting.

Sony announced that it's suspending fulfillment of all orders for nearly its entire SD and CF express memory card product lines "due to the global shortage of semiconductors (memory) and other factors."
This is not random. This comes on the back of consumer memory manufacturers announcing they will shift production to big expensive chips for GPUs โ in other words, the big data centers.
What is happening is a shift at the semiconductor production level away from powerful consumer devices (laptops/desktop/cameras), towards cloud-only devices.
Soon there will only be "thin" devices that interact with cloud services that, like Sam Altman openly described, will be metered like utilities โ because there won't even be components available for consumer devices.
This pushes your dataโyour documents, photos, videosโinto the hands of the technocrats, where it is surveilled, shared with intelligence agencies, and used to train their AI models โ and ensures no one will be able to run powerful AI models locally.
They want to centralize and control everything.
This is how you are losing your #RightToCompute. Silently. Gradually. And Relentlessly.
Build local.

๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท Trump will withdraw from the war and declare a non-existent victory, in order to have time to prepare for the 3rd round.
This war will cause drastic economic consequences for Iran, so the US and Israel in 1-3 years will again try to incite traitors to internal unrest due to the post-war economic situation, blaming the regime.
Because that is their only chance of victory over Iran. This war showed there is no military way.
This is why Israel and the US are bombing civilian infrastructure and are trying to do as much damage as possible to make the economic situation as bad as possible.

Vae victis (โwoe to the conqueredโ) is a Latin phrase expressing that the defeated are at the mercy of the victor.
According to Roman tradition, in 390 BC the Gauls, led by Brennus, captured Rome except for the Capitoline Hill. The Romans agreed to pay 1,000 pounds of gold to lift the siege. When the gold was weighed, the Romans protested that the Gauls were using unfair weights. Brennus responded by throwing his sword onto the scale and declaring, โVae victis,โ forcing them to add more gold.
Some ancient sources later claimed that Camillus arrived in time to defeat the Gauls and prevent the ransom from being paid, though other accounts contradict this version of events.

Former Congressman Matt Gaetz says he was briefed about a secret program where aliens were breeding with humans to make a hybrid race.
Gaetz says the humans who were involved were allegedly abducted from war zones and migrant caravans.
"What they explained is that the military ran a very secret program where aliens that were living were in forced breeding programs with humans that had been abducted from war zones and from even the caravans of migrants."
"The whistleblower was telling me that there were between 6 and 12 locations around the country where this happened."

If we are making guesses about the ballroom and โmassive complexโ being built by the US MIL, my guess is the old bunker/facility was compromised/bugged.
Hence the need to build a new one, and that would explain why the Dems/MSM are so salty about it, because they are losing an asset.
Iโm not buying the idea that this is just some normal update to the White House. If so, why didnโt the Dems do it when Biden was in office? Why now? And if itโs just a normal update to the White House, why are the Dems so upset about it, and why have they expended so much ammunition on this supposedly routine remodeling?
Thereโs more to this story that we donโt know yet, and thereโs a reason the Dems have been so triggered about this ballroom construction from the start.
Anything involving the US MIL, the Dems/MSM tend to squeal extra loud.
