This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Nr. 1
Jared Kushner – Trumps Schwiegersohn – steht offiziell unter Untersuchung. Kongress-Abgeordneter Raskin wörtlich: „Du kannst nicht gleichzeitig Diplomat und finanzieller Büttel der saudischen Monarchie sein.

Du kannst die USA nicht treu vertreten wenn du Milliarden in saudischen und emiratischen Geldern in jedem Anzug trägst." Kushner verhandelte gleichzeitig als inoffizieller Nahost-Sondergesandter – Iran-Deal, Russland-Ukraine-Gespräche, Palästina – und sammelte mindestens 5 Milliarden Dollar für seine Investmentfirma Affinity Partners von denselben Golfstaaten. Affinity: 6,2 Milliarden Dollar unter Verwaltung. 99 Prozent davon von ausländischen Staatsfonds. Kushner baut Hotels in Albanien. Kushner verhandelt Weltfrieden. Kushner kassiert Milliarden. Alles gleichzeitig.
Kushner baut Hotels in Albanien. Kushner verhandelt Weltfrieden. Kushner kassiert Milliarden. Alles gleichzeitig.

Aber wer genau hinsieht versteht das Muster: Trumps zweite Amtszeit war von Anfang an eine Uhr die tickt. Vier Jahre. Nicht mehr. Also schnell schnell. Trump Jr. – Pentagon-Deals für sein Startup. Eric Trump – Robotik-Firmeverträge. Kushner – 5 Milliarden von Golfstaaten während er deren Außenpolitik mitgestaltet. Ivanka – Hotels auf albanischem Schutzland. Melania – NFTs und Krypto. Trump selbst – 3.700 Aktientransaktionen in drei Monaten.

Das ist kein Regieren. Das ist Abkassieren mit Ablaufdatum. Und wenn die Uhr abläuft – ziehen sie sich zurück. Mit dem Geld. Und lassen andere mit dem Schaden zurück.

Das ist kein neues Phänomen. Es ist ein uraltes Muster:
Historisch:
Cornelius Vanderbilt – Eisenbahnmonopol, staatliche Subventionen, politische Verbindungen.
John D. Rockefeller – Standard Oil, politischer Einfluss, Staatsverträge.
Die Gilded Age Oligarchen des 19. Jahrhunderts.
Modern:
Berlusconi – Medienimperium und gleichzeitig Premierminister Italiens. Gesetze die zufällig seine eigenen Ermittlungen stoppten.
Orbán – 16 Jahre an der Macht, Freunde und Familie kontrollieren heute Ungarns Medien, Bauwirtschaft und Energiesektor.
Putin – vom KGB-Offizier zum reichsten Mann der Welt durch Staatsressourcen.

Das Muster ist immer dasselbe:
Macht nutzen um Reichtum zu akkumulieren. Reichtum nutzen um Macht zu sichern. Und wenn die Macht endet – das Geld ist längst in Sicherheit.

In Trumps erster Amtszeit wurden die weichen gestellt.
Das Justizministerium fand 2017 einen Gesetzesschlupfloch damit Kushner überhaupt im Weißen Haus arbeiten durfte – ohne Senatsgenehmigung, ohne Ethiksgesetze, ohne Finanzoffenlegung. Klagen wegen Verfassungsverletzungen wurden auf Verfahrensgründen abgewiesen – nie inhaltlich entschieden. Als Kushner 2021 das Weiße Haus verließ – direkt 2 Milliarden Dollar von Saudi-Arabien. Derselbe Saudi-Arabien mit dem er als Berater arbeitete. Das war der Testlauf.
Zweite Amtszeit: dasselbe System – aber größer, schneller, dreister.
5 Milliarden angesammelt. Kein Finanzoffenlegungsformular. Keine Ethiksgesetze. Sogar republikanischer Kongressmann Comer sagte: „Was Kushner tat überschritt die ethische Grenze." Das System ließ es zu. Beide Male.

Thursday morning, an Israeli airstrike struck the home of Mona Khalil in Mansouri, South of Lebanon. The home itself was modest. But what it sheltered was extraordinary.
For decades, while many spoke about protecting nature, Mona lived that commitment every single day. From her small house overlooking the sea, she became the guardian of a coastline, the protector of countless sea turtles, and a voice for creatures that could not speak for themselves.
She chose to stay. She stayed through uncertainty, through fear, through danger. She stayed because the beach she watched over was not just a stretch of sand. It was a sanctuary. A place of life. A place worth defending.
Mona was seriously injured and her assistant suffered burns. Both are thankfully in stable condition. Yet the tragedy goes far beyond their wounds.
With war reaching a woman whose life’s mission has been to protect life, something deeper is injured, a part of our humanity is wounded. Violence does not distinguish between a fighter and a conservationist, between a military position and a nest of endangered turtles, between those who destroy and those who dedicate their lives to preserving.
Mona Khalil spent years protecting one of Lebanon’s most fragile treasures. Today, it is Mona who needs protection. And perhaps the greatest tribute we can pay her is to ensure that her courage, her mission, and her love for this land survive long after the smoke has cleared ❤️🇱🇧

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

A video clearly shows an unarmed, injured person being bombed by Israeli aircraft along with his fellow unarmed civilians in cold blood.

A video that the world must never forget.

"Si el Mossad aún no les ha informado, me tiemblan las piernas de estar aquí, ante uno de los mejores oradores del mundo, el primer ministro Netanyahu. Haré lo mejor que pueda, querido Bibi, para sobrevivir a tu juicio".

Recordemos el infame discurso servil de Edi Rama, primer ministro de Albania, en el parlamento del apartheid de "Israel" hace unos meses, uno de los discursos más arrastrados y ridículos que jamás escuché.

Este tipo está vendiendo su pais al sionismo mientras dice que los enemigos de "Israel" quieren destruirle.

The memory of Zahra, the 14-month-old granddaughter of the martyred leader of IRAN, who was martyred alongside him, will never be forgotten!

BAM! Colombia has announced a historic ban on all new oil and large-scale mining projects in its part of the Amazon Rainforest, protecting an area roughly the size of Sweden. 🌿

Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.” 🌎🌳

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

Many won't believe it ..

The two photos are of the same street, before and after the inferno in Gaza

The world still doesn't hate Israel enough.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

The Israeli army has just shot a 7-month-old baby dead in Gaza.

His name is Sam Fahd Abu Haikal.

This is what they do. This is who they are.

I did not expect so many people to care about one small moment of happiness from Gaza.

Thank you for seeing us as human beings 🤍

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
