Your reminder that Iran’s president had already called (last November) TO RELOCATE THE CAPITAL CITY after water levels in Tehran’s five reservoirs plunged to 12% of capacity and the groundwater aquifers collapsed in the world’s first example of “water bankruptcy.”

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

Radar targeting, hypersonics, and the expanding missile industrial bases The Iranian reports circulating today about strikes on U.S.

Radar is the “eyes” of missile defense. Hypersonic bombs are designed to defeat it. U.S. is expanding missile production—including Project Ranger in Rio Rancho—w/o a public hearing or environmental review.

Hypersonics vs. Iron Dome: The Saturation Problem and the Economics of Endless Escalation We are watching, in real time, how the next generation of weapons systems reshapes both warfare and budgets.

Saturation warfare = bleeding budgets.
While officials fast-track weapons production, families are fighting for medical care and housing.

It’s entry into an endless escalation cycle.
Americans deserve better.

Resistance Cannot Be Delegated: Make the Risk Visible or Suffer the Cost of Compliance Resistance Is Not a Comment Form

The system is working — just not for us.
I wrote about the myth of the “free market,” delegated resistance, and what real accountability requires in a moment like this.

New Mexico Is Not a Sacrifice Zone for a War Economy They are migraines.

Hold the NM SIC and EDD accountable for the allocations that perpetuate the data centers, the missile warhead buildout, transmission and infrastructure rate increases and the utility buyouts on the backs of New Mexicans.

Blackstone Is Already Testing New Mexico Law. Why That Should End This Deal. OnFeb 5th over 400 people showed up to give public comments. People could hardly access the podium.

The PRC’s job is to protect ratepayers.
Given the legal questions already raised, the safest course is clear:
Deny the application.
New Mexico is not for Wall Street extraction.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.
