These visuals from Nepal are so heartbreaking!!!

The way we are damaging the nature in Tibet, Nepal, Uttarakhand, Himachal, and Ladakh, more such incidents are bound to happen.

Musk, Trump, and Macron are at the same table. The bill from last time remains unpaid. Macron has prepared talking points on European security architecture. Musk has been reading Thucydides. Trump has not been reading it but knows everything anyway.

Trump: You know what causes wars, Emmanuel?

Macron: The breakdown of multilateral frameworks, the failure of diplomatic…

Trump: Weakness. Wars are caused by weakness. When the other side thinks you won’t fight, they attack. Simple. I didn’t have any wars. Because nobody thought I was weak.

Macron: The absence of conflict during your first term had many contributing factors…

Musk: Name one that wasn’t deterrence.

Macron: (pause) Diplomatic engagement. The continuation of existing frameworks…

Trump: The frameworks I was threatening to leave.

Musk: Wars also start when governments need them. This is the part nobody says out loud. The socialist economic model generates contradictions it cannot resolve internally – the misallocation, the debt, the stagnation, the mounting failure. War is the exit. It provides the external enemy that explains the internal failure, justifies emergency powers the system always wanted, and redirects the resentment outward. Hitler had to start the war. He was about to go bankrupt. The Reich’s finances were a fiction held together by conquest – each new territory had to finance the next campaign. Stop expanding and the whole thing collapses. He needed the war…

Macron: Comparing contemporary European governments to…

Musk: I’m not comparing anyone to Hitler. I’m describing a mechanism. The mechanism is not unique to Hitler. It is the structural logic of any government that has spent more than it has for long enough that the options have narrowed to reform or distraction. Reform is politically painful. Distraction is available.

Trump: Emmanuel. What’s your debt to GDP?

Macron: France’s fiscal situation reflects the necessary investment in…

Trump: The number.

Macron: Approximately one hundred and twenty percent, which in the context of…

Trump: And your deficit?

Macron: The current deficit reflects exceptional circumstances…

Musk: Six percent of GDP. In peacetime. After decades of temporary emergency spending that became permanent. The math does not work. At some point the math stops working loudly. The question is what happens at that point – reform or distraction. And that point is pretty soon…

Macron: The suggestion that democratic governments would deliberately…

Musk: Not deliberately. Structurally. The system selects for the people who will make the decision that saves the system. They don’t need to be conscious of it. The incentive is enough. And the decision that saves the system – that redirects attention, justifies emergency powers, makes the debt suddenly acceptable because there are more important things to worry about – that decision has a name.

Trump: War.

Macron: European governments are committed to peace. The entire European project was built on the premise that…

Trump: Built on American military guarantees. We provided the security. You built the welfare state. The welfare state is now mathematically unsustainable. And you’re talking about European strategic autonomy.

Macron: Which is precisely the recognition that Europe must take responsibility for its own security. The situation in Ukraine demonstrates that…

Trump: Ukraine. Okay. How does it end? Not how does it continue. How does it end?

Macron: A just and lasting peace that respects Ukrainian sovereignty…

Trump: That’s a press release. How does it end?

Musk: I want to say something about the men. The actual men. The ones who die. Every escalation, every miscalculation, every decision made in a committee by people who will not be in the field – those decisions have a cost measured in specific human beings. Western human capital is irreplaceable on the timescale that matters. We are already in demographic collapse. The men of military age are…

Why Here? Why Us? The Scientific Revolution.

The most important question in the history of science is not what was discovered. It is why it was discovered here, in this civilization, in this century, and nowhere else.

Every major civilization had intelligent people, accumulated knowledge, and centuries of observation. China invented gunpowder, the compass, and printing. The Islamic world preserved Greek philosophy and advanced algebra and astronomy. None of them produced the Scientific Revolution. Western Europe did – in one extraordinary century, between Copernicus and Newton. The question is why.

1. Copernicus published On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres in 1543, the year he died – possibly deliberately timed to avoid the consequences. The earth moves around the sun. This contradicted a thousand years of Church authority and common sense. He published anyway. This is the first act of the Scientific Revolution – not the discovery but the publication. The willingness to follow the evidence to a conclusion that every authority would find inconvenient, and to say so in print.

2. Galileo pointed the telescope at Jupiter and found moons – which meant not everything revolved around the earth, which meant the Church’s cosmology was wrong. He was hauled before the Inquisition. He recanted under pressure and kept his notes. The evidence survived the institution’s attempt to suppress it.

3. Descartes decided to doubt everything he could possibly doubt until he reached something he could not. Cogito ergo sum. The individual mind as the primary instrument of knowledge – prior to and independent of authority, tradition, and institutional permission. You do not need the Church’s approval to observe that Jupiter has moons. You need a telescope and the willingness to look. The authorization is in the evidence. This is specifically, irreducibly Western.

4. Newton synthesized everything. The Principia Mathematica of 1687 is the greatest single intellectual achievement in human history – a unified mathematical description of the physical universe, from falling apples to planetary orbits, all governed by the same laws, discoverable by anyone with the method and the mathematics. The universe was legible. Reality is knowable. The method of knowing it is available to everyone. The results are not the property of any institution.

5. Why here? The specific conditions were Western and unprecedented: a tradition of university disputation that normalized intellectual disagreement; a printing press that circulated discoveries faster than institutions could suppress them; a legal tradition that protected some forms of dissent; a theological tradition that emphasized individual conscience over institutional authority; and the accumulated inheritance of Greek philosophy, Roman law, and Christian theology that had spent a thousand years developing the vocabulary for talking about truth and evidence. Remove any of these and the Revolution does not happen.

6. The method is the achievement – not the specific discoveries. Systematic observation. Controlled experiment. Mathematical formalization. Falsifiability – a theory is scientific only if it can be proven wrong. This method, applied consistently, produces Newton, Darwin, Einstein, the vaccine, the transistor, and the moon landing. Applied inconsistently — with conclusions predetermined and inconvenient results suppressed — it produces the Systemic Lie wearing a lab coat.

7. The Scientific Revolution is under attack from inside – not from religion, but from ideology. The researcher who produces inconvenient results on population genetics, on pharmaceutical efficacy, on the biology of sex, finds the modern version of the same institutional pressure Galileo found. The funding withdrawn. The publication refused. The career ended. The consensus closed. The civilization that invented the Scientific Revolution is now producing committees to decide in advance what science is allowed to conclude.

What is Elon Musk the boss of?

Let’s start with the obvious:

SpaceX – the company that broke NASA’s monopoly on space and built reusable rockets the experts said were impossible

Tesla – the company that forced the entire global automotive industry to go electric, not through regulation but through competition.

X – the global public square. The printing press. The thing the establishment wants destroyed more than anything else on this list.

xAI – building the artificial intelligence that will define the next century.

Neuralink – connecting computers with human brains.

The Boring Company – tunneling under cities because traffic is a solvable engineering problem.

DOGE – dismantling the American administrative state from the inside.

But that is the list of the companies. The real answer is bigger.

He is the boss of the memes – which means he is the boss of the cultural conversation, which means he is the boss of what is sayable, which means he is the boss of what is thinkable. The man who controls the platform controls the Overton window. He controls X. He knows this. The establishment knows this. It is why they want him destroyed more than they want anything else.

He is the boss of the internet’s id – the part that says what everyone is thinking and nobody is allowed to say. The part that was suppressed for fifteen years by platforms that decided some thoughts were too dangerous to transmit. He un-suppressed it. The thoughts are now transmitting. The establishment calls it misinformation. Everyone else calls it reality.

He is the boss of first principles thinking at civilizational scale – the man who asks why a rocket has to cost what it costs, why a car has to run on petrol, why the administrative state has to keep growing, why free speech has to have managers. The questions nobody else was allowed to ask, asked by the man nobody can stop.

And at this point — and this is not hyperbole, it is an observation — he may be the most consequential individual defender of Western civilization currently operating. Not because he set out to be. Because the logic of what he believes — freedom, meritocracy, truth, the right to say what you see, the obligation to build what needs to be built — put him in direct conflict with every force trying to dismantle that civilization. He didn’t pick the fight. The fight found him. And he didn’t back down.

The boss of SpaceX. The boss of X. The boss of the meme. The boss of the question nobody was supposed to ask.

Maybe, at this point, the boss of the West’s last serious attempt to save itself.

A Monday morning question for you:

Let's say it doesn't work out for some reason. What is something that is still worth trying because of what you will learn along the way?

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

Trump and his administration’s focus on Patriotism and American pride, is not just for show.

Trump and the US MIL are counteracting the decades of psychological demoralization and subversion inflicted by the Left/MSM. The Deep State used their control of media to intentionally degrade and destroy American pride, along with our culture, our beliefs, our religion, our institutions, our history, our food supply, our schools, everything.

Why did they do this? Because the Deep State were attempting to conquer this nation from within, and they legitimately fear the American spirit and the 2nd Amendment. The Deep State accurately view the American People as the most formidable People on Earth to conquer, not just because of our weapons, but because of our pride in our nation, and our willingness to fight and die for it. The American People are standing in the way of their plan to implement a one-world government.

The enemies of humanity know that the American People will not willingly let globalism and tyranny take hold, so the Deep State attempted to psychologically destroy the American spirit, so we would be easier to fully conquer when the time came, which was going to be during Hillary’s term, but Trump won and ruined their 16 year plan.

This is why the Dems and their voters are openly anti-American. They have been brainwashed and conditioned for years to hate America, because the Deep State intend to replace our nation with something else.

So this Independence Day, and all days moving forward, I’m asking my fellow Americans to make a conscious effort to show and restore our nation’s pride, because it is quite literally a matter of National Security. Evil forces are attempting to conquer us from within, and they are targeting our Patriotism, because they view it as a threat.

Do not let them succeed. Never let them convince you this land is not worth fighting for.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

The BBC has issued an official explanation on why it has failed to cover our rape gang inquiry.

'Complex choices' are made for editorial and practical reasons.

These choices 'should not be taken as indicative of bias.'

Their words.

But the BBC were very quick to cover malicious complaints against our inquiry, in an attempt to smear our efforts? They were then forced to later apologise about how they covered the story.

So either the inquiry is worth reporting on, or it's not.

They can't pick and choose.

We're told 'complex choices' are made, meaning that efforts to uncover the industrial rape of young girls is not near the top of list.

Let's take a look at a few stories on the main BBC news page, right now...

'Osaka pays 'love and respect to Japan' in Wimbledon kimono'

'Why £15 durians are being sold at half price - or given away for free'

'We had packed lunches every day for 10 years and retired at 40'

Are these stories more important than the rape gang inquiry?

I think not.

You cannot hate the BBC enough.

I expect no fair coverage from them, I've stopped expecting it.

But the BBC is funded by the British people.

Their continued suppression of our inquiry is a disgrace.
