💥Israelis have gobbled up Netanyahu's lies about security & lies about Trump, and, separately, they expressed little to no concern as Trump began to trample every institution of the American state. No recognition even of the impact a weakened America would have on them.
Americans were told they lived in a republic.
What they actually live in has a more precise term: a managed democracy.
Managed democracies hold elections. The elections are real in the sense that votes are counted.
They are managed in the sense that the range of acceptable outcomes has been narrowed, in advance, by money.
By who can run.
By who gets covered.
By which ideas are treated as serious and which are treated as radical.
The voter chooses. But the menu was written before they sat down.
This is not a conspiracy. It does not require coordination in a room.
It requires only that the people with capital understand their interests and act accordingly, while the people without capital are given identity to fight over instead of economics to organize around.
Republic. Managed democracy.
The difference is whether the people who set the menu are accountable to the people choosing from it.
They are not.
They haven't been for a long time.

WOW! THE NUCLEAR MATH BOMB: Elon Musk just lost $350 billion in one week from his SpaceX IPO Ponzi. Let me put that in perspective for you:
He takes $38 billion from your tax dollars in government contracts. That's $104 million per day, $730 million per week, $3.1 billion per month, and $38 billion per year.
And what did he do with it? He built a $1.75 trillion valuation scam that just blew up and vaporized $350 billion of investor money in 7 days.
SpaceX lost $4.3 billion in Q1 2026 alone. Starlink lost $2.5 billion in Q1. xAI is burning $14 billion a year.
He became the world's first "trillionaire" on a fake valuation—then lost $350 billion in a week while still cashing $104 million of your money every single day.
That's not capitalism. That's not innovation. That's the biggest Ponzi scam in American history—and Donald Trump is his co-conspirator.
Your taxes built his rocket. His lies stole your 401k. And he's still grifting.

‼️Moscow’s main oil refinery will not resume operations until at least next year
The Moscow Oil Refinery, which supplies more than a third of the fuel consumed in the Moscow region, halted operations after Ukrainian drone strikes on June 16 and 18.
According to Reuters, both primary oil processing units were damaged.
The refinery is expected to remain out of service for at least six months and, at best, may not return to operation until 2027.
The Moscow Oil Refinery is one of the largest oil refining enterprises in Russia, with a processing capacity of 11 million tons of crude oil per year.
The plant supplies about 40% of Moscow’s gasoline market and up to 70% of the capital region’s demand for fuel and aviation kerosene.
Analysts estimate that reconstruction costs could reach $1 billion.
Kim Jong Un has commissioned the Choe Hyon — North Korea's largest warship — at Nampho Port, hailing it as the end of "more than 70 years of stagnation" in naval development.
Kim pledged new naval bases and 10,000-ton-class "strategic vessels" to come.
"The era in which our navy existed as a force for coastal defense has now unmistakably become a thing of the past."

RIMPAC 2026 begins this week, bringing together a record 31 nations for the world’s largest international maritime exercise. From June 24 to July 31, more than 25,000 personnel, roughly 40 warships, 5 submarines and 140 aircraft will operate together around the Hawaiian Islands.
The massive Pacific ‘war games’ of RIMPAC 2026 are preparations for the planned US war on China.
To ‘preserve freedom of navigation’ is the fake cover story to launch an illegal unprovoked US war of aggression on China — and Australia should play no part in it.
Dr Alison Broinowski, ex diplomat:
👉 “There is no impediment to navigation in the Asia-Pacific, nor has there been any such impediment since the end of the Second World War.
👉 “We are not facing any threat to regional stability and security from China, our major trading partner.
👉 “Rather, it is the ongoing US and Australian provocations in the South China Sea that represent the real danger.”
