"The amoeba the doctors found was Acanthamoeba, which is known to cause such horrifying infections. But it’s rare, and when it explodes into a full-body, often deadly malady, it tends to be in patients who have compromised immune systems or are otherwise debilitated. As such, the opportunistic pathogen is most often found in people with HIV/AIDS, cancers, and diabetes, as well as those on powerful immunosuppressive drugs, like transplant patients."

🇮🇶🇮🇱 - Israeli military sources report that the forward operating base in the Najaf desert, Iraq, was established before the war with Iran even began, and with US knowledge.

The sources report that the entire operation nearly collapsed when an Iraqi shepherd noticed unusual military activity in early March, at the height of the war. The activity was reported to the Iraqi military which dispatched Iraq's Karbala Ops unit to investigate. Israel, to keep the base a secret, engaged with airstrikes and struck the convoy, killing one, and injuring multiple others, including the regiment commander Haider al-Khazai (who's still recovering from his injuries at Karbala al-Kafeel Hospital).

The Iraqi counter terrorism unit however did identify a foreign military base operating in the desert. Local Iraqis reported unidentified military activity during the war at 31.6673207, 42.4396675 (shown in the media).

Interestingly, the Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar, in a letter dated to the 4th of March - the exact same date as the incident involving Iraq's Karbala Ops, wrote the following: "The fighters of the Air Force's special units are currently carrying out extraordinary missions that can ignite the imagination."

Have a loreful weekend

Gold reserves reflect a country’s financial strength and stability. China leads with 331.3 tons, followed by India (241.2) and Poland (219.6). Turkey and Singapore also hold significant amounts, while Japan has 80.8 tons. Thailand, Hungary, Qatar, and Iraq maintain moderate reserves, showing that both large and smaller economies rely on gold as a secure asset.

🔬 Antimatter “atom” caught behaving like a wave

Physicists have observed quantum diffraction in positronium for the first time — an exotic, short-lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, the positron.

In quantum mechanics, particles are never just tiny balls. Under the right conditions, they also behave like waves. This has been shown for electrons, neutrons, atoms, molecules — and even single positrons. But positronium is a special case: it is a bound matter–antimatter system, and scientists had never directly seen it form a clear matter-wave diffraction pattern before.

The team created a high-quality beam of positronium, sent it through an ultra-thin sheet of graphene, and detected a distinct diffraction peak. The result shows that positronium does not behave like two separate particles flying together — the electron and positron act as one unified quantum object.

Why it matters:

• Positronium is electrically neutral and extremely simple, making it a clean laboratory for testing fundamental physics.
• Its wave behavior could enable precision experiments with antimatter.
• In the future, positronium interferometry may help test how gravity acts on this strange matter–antimatter atom.
• It may also become useful for studying delicate material surfaces without damaging them.

This is not “antimatter waves discovered for the first time ever” — single positron interference was already demonstrated before. The real breakthrough is more subtle and more interesting: a matter–antimatter atom has now been shown to move as a single quantum wave.

The Iran War: Who will win?

To invoke theory for a moment; wars are fundamentally contests of national willpower backed by capability, directed by strategy. Achieving victory requires the victor to overcome the enemy’s resistance. The side that manages the combination of resources & willpower while imposing its political objectives usually wins.

While there is no single factor, victory is the outcome of multiple interlocking advantages that compound over time.

History shows no magic bullet; even overwhelming superiority in one area can be negated by failure in others (think Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, even Korea). All to say, the war with Iran does not equate to WWII conditions.

What determines victory?

Police said Sunday that they arrested 21 people suspected of trying to bring a sacrificial goat up to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City on Friday.

It was the second time in as many months that a group was arrested for attempting to perform a traditional sacrifice at the historical site of Judaism’s two ancient holy temples. While the temples have not existed and Jews have not performed such sacrifices for nearly 2,000 years, small groups ascend the mount perennially to try to revive the ritual, without success. https://www.timesofisrael.com/21-arrested-for-trying-to-sacrifice-a-baby-goat-on-the-temple-mount/

Iran Can Outlast the USA

Once more, the Douhetians are proven wrong about the strategic capabilities of airpower: A confidential CIA analysis delivered to administration policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing more severe economic hardship, four people familiar with the document said, a finding that […]
