๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ Swiss experts will help restore the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra following the Russian attack on June 15.

During the G7 summit, Swiss President Guy Parmelin assured President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Switzerland would provide expert assistance for the restoration of the historic religious site.

Zelenskyy thanked Switzerland for the initiative and noted the unified support shown by all G7 countries, which condemned Russiaโ€™s attacks on civilian infrastructure and called for increased pressure and sanctions against Moscow.

I would imagine the timing is not coincidental, coming on the heels of Trump and Vance suddenly turning away from Israel all at once. Feels like a message. And understand, most likely most, if not all of these lawmakers are under control, so before it was Israel giving the orders, while now, obviously, it is an opposing force. https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2068443774133629214

"First things first: you need to get the revised, second edition of this book. Why? Because the introduction to the second edition is an excuse for the author to brag about all the bloodstained and bullet-riddled copies of the first edition that have been found among the personal effects of palace security chiefs, spymasters, and air force officers. Perhaps, he gloats, they should have read it more carefully, or perhaps they should have waited for the second edition. None of this should come as a surprise if you follow Edward Luttwak on Twitter, where his account is characterized by a judicious degree of irascibility and gloating."

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‘Ž Four Israeli weak spots in attrition warfare

The Israeli army is trapped in buffer zones across Gaza, Lebanon and Syria โ€” and its own military experts are sounding the alarm.

Colonel Eran Ortal, former head of operations and a military studies director at Bar-Ilan University, admits the regime is facing a crisis deeper than it dares to reveal.

After nearly three years of war, Israel is bogged down on three bloody fronts, internationally isolated and running out of options.

Iran has emerged from the war in a stronger strategic position, while Israel faces widening pressure without clear end goals.

The four four fatal flaws in the Israeli strategy are:

1๏ธโƒฃ Buffer zones that fail strategically: Israeli tactics allow enemies to withdraw gradually without losing their forces. Heavy casualties have made the army avoid rapid encirclements โ€” meaning Israeli forces stay back from the front lines while guerrillas live to fight another day.

2๏ธโƒฃ Long wars with no endgame: Five Israeli divisions have been fighting in southern Lebanon โ€” but only made slow village-by-village progress. Hezbollah held its ground under heavy bombing.

3๏ธโƒฃ Ground troops are the weakest link: The infantry, Israel's most vulnerable force, is fighting a war that demands massive troop numbers. It doesn't have the manpower to hold territory on multiple fronts.

4๏ธโƒฃ Foreign dependence in high-intensity warfare: The war needs huge amounts of bombs and missiles, heavy bulldozers and jet fighters โ€“ which Israel has to buy from the US and other allies.

Zionist founder David Ben-Gurion called for short, decisive wars. Instead, Israel is bleeding in attrition battles it never wanted to fight.

The asymmetry of economics, manpower and political influence is crushing Israel, and its reliance on foreign help has become a noose, not a lifeline.

85 Million Pounds of Food Destroyed in LA Cold Storage Fire.

A massive fire at a Los Angeles cold-storage facility has ruined ~10 million meals worth of food. With refrigeration offline, the spoiling inventory has become a biohazard, complicating firefighting efforts that have extended for multiple days, and prompting California to declare a state of emergency for air quality and cleanup.

Lineage Logistics, the owner of the facility, is the world's largest temperature-controlled logistics operator, and this ~491,000 sq ft hub served as a key distribution point for Greater LA, connecting to some 10 million people.

Officials claim "there will not be shortages, but localized pressure on frozen meats/poultry is possible" (which seems to be contradictory...). Events like this demonstrate why over-centralization of our food supply chain is a problem.

Oh, and the fire was started when testing a solar system on the roof. The same solar system caused a fire in 2024. Score another big win for "green energy..."

We have hypothesized Cabal hated Russia because Russia blocked a Cabal takeover at the fall of the Soviet Union, and remained free. Meanwhile, we also hypothesized Cabal possibly had intended to make the move to China, transferred all the tech and manufacturing from the West there, sabotaged the West with a Tsunami of third world migrants with 65 IQs, and then at the last moment was blocked from making the jump. That forced Cabal to return to the West, and attempt to salvage it. If Cabal was Israel, Cabal/Israel would certainly have, high on their list, destroying China. And it would hate Russia as well. If that were the case, Trump just lured Israel into a war with Iran, and then assuming an Iran deal goes through, Trump gave Iran hundreds of billions, and lifted sanctions on it, all of which creates the perfect proxy state for Russia and China to use to try to destroy Cabal/Israel with a proxy war, before Cabal/Israel can destroy them. https://x.com/IGraceAshford/status/2068669890169360648

Technically Kushner is kind of an extension of the Trump administration, and we see the Trump administration is changing out the old regimes for new, conservative, Cabal-free regimes across the globe. Is it possible Kushner went in there and pushed the government to be as corrupt as it possible, to expose it, and overthrow it more easily? I have no idea, but looking at the visuals, which match so many other cases we are seeing, it seems curious this is yet another case of the old guard getting thrown out. https://x.com/steve_hanke/status/2068770817664487781

President Donald J. Trump Ushers in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation

ACCELERATING QUANTUM INNOVATION: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to supercharge U.S. innovation in quantum technologies and strengthen our national security in this critical area.  

The Order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, in coordination with other relevant government leaders, to update the National Quantum Strategy to support quantum-enabling technology and encourage partnerships with U.S. industry.

The Order establishes a national effort to develop the first ever quantum computer powerful enough to initiate the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery and accelerate quantum capabilities for commercial applications. This includes evaluations of quantum computing system capabilities, an assessment of the resources necessary to build this science-enabling quantum computer, and development of specifications for such a system.

The Order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to coordinate this effort across the Departments of Energy, War, Commerce, and the Intelligence Community, as well as with U.S. industry and research leaders. 

The Order calls on the Secretaries of Commerce, War, and Energy and the NASA Administrator to develop plans to deploy quantum-enabled sensors and networks in the next five years.  

The Order prioritizes the development of a strong American quantum workforce through the expansion of registered apprenticeships, credentials, and the creation of National Quantum Workforce Development Institutes. It also directs the development of a plan and other measures to ensure adequate domestic supply chains and manufacturing capabilities for quantum technologies, as well as appropriate funding support for such efforts.  

The Order reconstitutes the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee and directs the expansion of the Quantum Counterintelligence Protection Team. It also directs appropriate engagement with international partners on quantum matters.

STRENGTHENING AMERICAโ€™S QUANTUM ADVANTAGE: President Trump recognizes that quantum technologies are on the verge of a massive commercial breakthrough and require a bold new policy approach to ensure America continues to lead the field. 

Quantum technologies, like a quantum computer or a quantum sensor, will provide transformational capabilities in manufacturing, drug discovery, energy, agriculture, and more. These breakthroughs will drive American innovation, power economic growth, generate high-paying jobs in existing and entirely new industries, and bolster national security.

Competing nations are moving quickly to challenge Americaโ€™s quantum leadership, including adversarial countries that would use quantum to undermine U.S. economic and national security.

The Order ensures that the United States enters this new era of quantum innovation with ambitious national goals, a strong domestic workforce, and trusted supply chains in coordination with our international allies and partners. 

FURTHERING AMERICAโ€™S TECHNOLOGICAL DOMINANCE: President Trump continues to prioritize U.S. leadership and dominance in critical and emerging sciences and technologies.

In 2018, President Trump signed the National Quantum Initiative Act into law, establishing the first whole-of-government strategy for American leadership in quantum. 

President Trump was the first president to identify quantum as an emerging research and development priority for the nation, resulting in a doubling of the Federal research and development budget for quantum. 

In January 2025, President Trump announced the establishment of the Presidentโ€™s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology to spearhead American innovation and competitiveness in critical and emerging technologies.

In November 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order launching the Genesis Mission, a new national effort to use artificial intelligence to transform how scientific research is conducted and accelerate the speed of scientific discoveries across multiple fields, including quantum.

The Trump Administration has invested $625 million so far in major national quantum research institutes, in partnership with industry and academia.
