🪨🇺🇸The US imports 100% of 11 critical minerals.
Uranium sits at 99%.
That's the headline from the USGS 2026 minerals report.
The more telling part is who the US buys from.
🇨🇳China is the top supplier for graphite, tantalum, yttrium, bismuth, antimony and tungsten.
The country on the customs form isn't always where the mineral really comes from, though.
Most US gallium arrives from Canada🇨🇦.
China still produces the majority of the world's gallium.
That matters because Beijing has already used these minerals as leverage.
Gallium and germanium export controls in 2023.
Graphite later that year.
Antimony in 2024.
Then an outright ban on shipping gallium, germanium and antimony to the US.
Rare earths look slightly better on paper, at 67%.
Some of the dependence is on friends.
🇯🇵Japan for titanium and scandium.
🇰🇷South Korea for indium.
🇧🇷Brazil for niobium.
Some of it isn't…
Uranium comes from 🇰🇿 , Canada and Russia🇷🇺, just as Washington pushes to build more reactors.
Mining a mineral and refining it are 2 separate chokepoints.
The US is short on both.
@ChrisMartzWX At least your looney liberals rename things in English instead of phonics made up by a lunatic professor trying to give the illusion that the native language wasn't limited to an oral tradition
The S&P 500 is up 33% since the start of 2025.
South Korea: +258%
Peru: +147%
Colombia: +138%
Greece: +127%
You never know where the next big winner will be.
That’s why you diversify.
@gave_vincent You cannot reasonably expect to kick of a domestic investment boom when your government has systematically destroyed property rights. BC is uninvestible, and the rot does not stop there.
@thealepalombo This decision needs to take into account the character and personality and learning needs of the kids. The Singapore schooling system is very rigid and deals with any non-conformity very harshly.
This is my son David. He is the reason I am writing this.
We share the same APOE 3/4 genotype. The same genetic cards. The same loaded gun.
I found out at 52. Face up on an operating table in Stamford Hospital with a stent going into my artery. My LDL was 110. Normal. Every doctor told me cholesterol was the problem. None of them tested my fasting insulin. None of them mapped my genetics. None of them checked the shield that protects every artery in my body.
I almost died not knowing why.
David does not have to.
I spent six years finding the answer. Two hundred markers. Twelve blood draws. My entire genome mapped to the mechanism. Every study I could find. Every Nobel Prize winner who proved a piece of the puzzle that the system buried.
What I found will change how you think about heart disease forever.
It is not cholesterol. It was never cholesterol. Five Nobel Prize winners proved the real mechanism across five different decades. All of them ignored. All of them silenced. So the system could sell a $300 billion drug that lowers a number that was never the cause.
Heart disease is still the number one killer after 40 years of statins. 700,000 Americans every year. The drugs did not work because they were aimed at the wrong target.
This thread is everything I found. The shield your doctor has never measured. The five Nobel Prize discoveries that explain every step. The genetics that determine why some people get heart disease and others do not eating the same food and living the same life. The studies that were buried. The drug trials that failed. And at the end, how the body heals.
I am not a doctor. I am a father who refused to let his son inherit a broken system.
David carries the same genes. He will not wait until 52 to find out. He will not end up on a table wondering why his normal cholesterol did not protect him. He will know which genes, at which step, with what threshold. He will have the roadmap I never had.
That is why I built Neo. That is why I am writing my second book SILENCED. That is why I post every day.
This is not content. This is a father trying to change his son's odds.
Read this thread. Save it. Share it with someone you love.
Same genes. Different outcome. That is the point.

“Modern civilization, which enables us to maintain four billion people in this world, was made possible by the institution of private property. It’s only thanks to this institution that we have achieved an extensive order beyond anything mankind has ever experienced. If we destroy the recognition of private property, I think we will destroy the sources which nourish present-day mankind and create a catastrophe of starvation beyond anything mankind has ever experienced. The recognition of private property consists in the moral basis which enables us to preserve this order of overall coordination of human efforts.”
Friedrich August von Hayek
@RealRickRule@DougTweet1 How can you invest in a province that formally does not acknowledge property rights? I get it, everything is investible at a price, but we have yet to see any real recognition that BC returned to the wild west
@GreatBig_Sea 20 years ago this is exactly what Canada required, you had to account for every single month of your adult life before you got PR approved. You needed to provide your own health insurance on landing and recognized that you were not entitled to welfare for 2 years
An ex-FBI agent texted me at 11:32pm:
"Turn these 6 iPhone settings off NOW."
I thought he was joking.
Then I checked #4 and got chills.
Here's what Apple hides from you:
Many of you are asking questions about Chlorine Dioxide and this is a fantastic book by Dr Pierre Kory. I would also like to give credit to Janice Rountree who is in the video. She has posted her link in the comment section down below.

@GlobalForecastr Thank you for making this open access. Broadly, I like your thesis, but one detail really struck my interest. "However, as Britain is now in a phase of expansion, we could well see a new value placed on lateral thought processes and problem solving". Why do you think this?
