Neuralink has solved through-dura electrode implantation!
This is a very big deal, as it greatly improves the safety and ease of interfacing with the brain.
Military Analyst Elijah Magnier thinks the Iran war didn't end, it just moved.
Most people are still watching Tehran, waiting to see whether America or Israel strikes Iran again.
Elijah thinks they're watching the wrong battlefield. His argument is that the next phase of this conflict won't be fought primarily inside Iran.
It will be fought across Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, where the real objective isn't to attack Iran directly, but to slowly dismantle the network of allies that has protected it for decades.
That made a lot of the recent headlines suddenly look very different.
The anti-corruption drive in Iraq, the push to disarm Iraqi militias, the renewed mobilization of Saudi and UAE-backed forces inside Yemen, and the talk about Syria confronting Hezbollah.
Elijah believes these aren't isolated events; they're all pieces of the same long-term strategy: to isolate Iran step by step until it stands alone.
Then he explained why he thinks the Strait of Hormuz has become so important.
Washington sees Hormuz as an economic problem, but Iran sees it as leverage.
As long as Israel remains in Lebanon, Iranian assets remain frozen, and the wider agreement remains unfulfilled, Elijah says Tehran has no reason to surrender the strongest bargaining chip it still holds.
That's why he believes the current ceasefire changes very little.
In his view, the war never really stopped; it simply shifted into a different phase.
The direct confrontation became too costly for everyone, so now the pressure moves onto Iran's partners instead.
By the end of the interview, I wasn't thinking about one war anymore.
I was thinking about four separate conflicts that may actually be the same war playing out on different fronts.
And if Elijah is right, what we're watching is the opening chapter of a much longer regional campaign.

My grandfather, communism, and the tremor that never left. A story I rarely share.
He was the principal of a private school; respected, steady, a man who believed in books and order. Then, one ordinary afternoon, his world ended.
A squad of communist troops stormed on to campus grounds. They herded the children out like cattle, set every book ablaze in the courtyard. “Less educated people are easier to control,” they believed.
They dragged my grandfather and his staff to the side of a dusty road, forced them to their knees, hands bound tight behind their backs. One by one, the executions began. The crack of pistols split the air. Each body fell with a heavy thud into the dirt. Each crack of the pistol meant it was getting closer to his demise.
My grandfather stared straight ahead as the man beside him collapsed. He felt the warm steel of the pistol press against the back of his skull. Time slowed. This was it, the final second of his life.
Then, fate intervened. He lifted his eyes and saw a column of troops marching down the road. At its head walked a general. A childhood friend.
With a scream of desperation, he called out his name. The general was startled but recognized my grandfather and immediately spared his life.
Tears streamed down his face. His entire body shook violently as he sprinted home. He grabbed his wife and children with nothing but the clothes on their backs and fled that very hour, leaving behind their home, their belongings, their entire life.
Everything was taken away by the regime in a single afternoon.
From that day forward, an uncontrollable tremor gripped his right hand. It was particularly noticeable whenever his emotions got the better of him.
The shaking never stopped. It followed him across oceans and time until the day he passed.
That is communism.
It is not theory, not idealism, but the pistol at the back of the head, the burning books, the shattered lives. Do not let anyone sell you a nightmare dressed up as a wonderful dream.
The people now sowing socialist and communist poison in America are exactly what President Trump warned: the greatest threat to our free world.
On this 250th birthday of the United States, let one survivor’s grandson say it plainly and without apology:
COMMUNISM MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 🇺🇸
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Given the spread of communism, an ideology few understand, we’re excited to share Dr. Paul Kengor’s first lecture from The Dark Side of Marxism.
@DrPaulKengor traces the history of Marxism from the life and ideas of Karl Marx to the ideology’s far-reaching global consequences.
