🚀 Schaut euch das an – das ist die echte Geschichte hinter dem «Atommüll»-Mythos in der Schweiz.

Im Zwilag Würenlingen lagert sämtlicher hochaktiver Abfall aus über 50 Jahren!!! Kernenergieproduktion unseres Landes.

Nur rund 40 massive Stahlbehälter stehen dort. Ein einzelner Mensch daneben zeigt das wahre Mass. Die Halle ist für bis zu 200 Behälter ausgelegt.

Kein riesiger Berg. Keine unkontrollierbare Katastrophe. Sondern ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis schweizerischer Präzision und Ingenieurskunst: kompakt, sicher, vollständig kontrolliert.

50 Jahre nur 40 Stahlbehälter. Und dies mit Kernkraftwerken der alten Generation. Faszinierend.

Der Internet-Abschaum hat in den letzten Tagen die unfassbare Lüge verbreitet dass in Starobelsk keine Lehramtsstudenten sondern Drohnenpiloten gekillt wurden

Nun bestätigen sowohl russische Oppositionsmedien als auch ukrainische Journalisten -
Es waren tatsächlich Studenten !

Und wenn die europäischen Regierungen das Maul immer noch nicht aufbringen um die Terrortat zu verurteilen, dann ist es wahr was wütende Russen kommentieren
Europa wird von Moralbankrotteuren geführt

[Maria Dubovikova @politblogme]

The strike drones that attacked the Starobelsk College were controlled via Starlink, just like other long-range drones that have repeatedly attacked civilians and children in other territories of Russia.

Elon Musk cannot be unaware that Starlink is being used to kill civilians, including children.

In the video: the identification of the deceased girls. Do not swipe with indifference. Watch. And listen.

Bier aus Kläranlagen-Abwasser – und die feiern das auch noch.
Klar, die Technik macht es ‚fast‘ sauber. Aber selbst wenn das Restrisiko durch PFAS, Pharmarückstände und resistente Keime gering ist: Warum zum Teufel sollte man es tun?
Es gibt genug normales Wasser. Stattdessen gewöhnt man uns mit PR-Bier an die Idee, dass recyceltes Fäkalienwasser völlig normal ist.
Und dann wundert man sich, wenn neue Krankheiten kommen. Manche Dinge sollte man einfach nicht machen, nur weil man sie kann.

Çin, Afrika'ya petrol rafinerisi yaptı, Avrupalılar sinirlendi.

Nijerya, Çin sayesinde petrol değil benzin satar hale geldi.

Nijerya, Afrika'nın en büyük petrol üreticilerinden olmasına rağmen rafinerisi yoktu.

Çin, 20 milyar dolarlık Dangote Petrol Rafinerisi’ni yaptı. Bu sayede Mart ayında günde yaklaşık 44.000 varil benzin ihraç edildi. 317.000 varillik tek bir sevkiyat Mozambik’e ulaştı — Doğu Afrika’ya ilk teslimatı oldu.

Günlük 650.000 varil kapasitesinin ≈ %94’ünde işletilen, Lagos merkezli rafineri, iç talebi karşılıyor ve fazlası yurtdışına gönderiliyor.

Üretim, üç yıl içinde günde 1,4 milyon varile ulaşması öngörülüyor. Bu sayede Afrika'nın en büyük rafinerisi olacak.

Es sind keine geheimen Algorithmen, die die AfD stark machen, weshalb wir keine neuen Zensurmaßnahmen benötigen. Ihr Erfolg hat auch nichts damit zu tun, dass die Politik ihre angebliche Erfolge schlecht erklärt. Nein, es ist ganz einfach: die Wähler wollen eine andere Politik, konkret wollen sie bezahlbare Energie, erschwinglichen Wohnraum, gute Schulen, eine funktionierende Administration, intakte Straßen und Brücken, einen pünktlichen öffentlichen Nah- und Fernverkehr, Sicherheit im öffentlichen Raum, eine an den Bedarfen der einheimischen Bevölkerung ausgerichtete Migrationspolitik und eine prosperierende Wirtschaft. Was sie nicht wollen ist ebenso klar: sie wollen nicht in Regularien ersticken, als strukturell rassistisch abgewertet werden und für Dinge zur Kasse gebeten werden, die ihnen und dem Land letztendlich wenig nützen.
Wenn diese nachvollziehbaren Bedürfnisse von der Politik nicht beachtet werden, wenn Stillstand herrscht, Kompromisse faul werden und wenn der politische Souverän den Eindruck erhält, machtlos zu sein, dann entsteht eine REPRÄSENTATIONSLÜCKE, die die AfD füllt. Eigentlich ganz einfach. Darüber habe ich in meinem neuen Buch "Rechts, links, islamistisch. Die wahren Feinde der Demokratie" geschrieben. Ab dem 20.5. im Handel erhältlich.

A German neurologist just issued a stark warning about “iPad kids”:

More and more children are arriving at her clinic with speech delays, motor problems, and symptoms that look exactly like autism — but many of them dramatically improve the moment screens are taken away.

Her explanation is blunt:
Screens only send. They never respond.
Young children learn language, social skills, and secure attachment through real back-and-forth interaction with people — not tablets or phones.

Without that live human connection in the first years of life, kids miss a critical developmental window that closes after age two and never reopens. Long-term studies now link early smartphone access to worse mental health: more aggression, suicidal thoughts, and hallucinations.

Her clear recommendation: zero screen time for children under 3.

This one really stopped me cold as a parent.

How strict are you with screen time for your young kids (especially under 3), and what’s been the hardest part about enforcing it?

Palantir were kind enough to sum up its hideous ideology in 22 points. And I have taken the liberty of annotating each one of them. Here is my interpretation of all 22 of them (preserving the original numbering - for the original see their tweet below):

1. Silicon Valley owes an immeasurable debt to the ruling class who bailed out the criminal bankers that wrecked the livelihood of the majority of Americans. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley will defend that ruling class to the death (literally!), in the name of the majority of Americans whom they treat with contempt – i.e., like cattle that have lost their market value.

2. Palantir is eyeing the Apple Store, salivating over the prospect of creating its own technofeudal estate. Time to replace the iPhone with another device that dissolves what is left of people’s privacy.

3. Palantir shall give nothing away for free. It cares uniquely over its own growth which it pursues by sowing fear so that it can sell a fake sense of security.

4. Glory to brute force! Ethics is for suckers. The West needs more of Palantir’s murderous software.

5. AI-powered killer robots are coming. The task is to profit magnificently by building killer robots first and ask questions later. To be able to do so, Palantir will do whatever it takes to avoid at all cost any international treaties that limit AI-driven killer robots.

6. Every poor sod (lacking the connections to avoid being thrown into the trenches with killer drones targeting them from the sky) must be drafted into the army. Forget paying soldiers a salary. All payments should be directed to Palantir, where our own people will be serving their ‘national service’ – leaving the dying to non-shareholders.

7. Palantir works overtime to equip US Marines with killer bots that take away from the US Marines whatever remnants of ethical judgment they are left with on the battlefield. American society should be rendered perfectly incapable of any debate that restricts Palantir’s capacity to get the US Military to eliminate any remaining opportunity to reject its software’s choice of targets.

8. Palantir deplores the fact that the public sector is still not totally devoid of a conscience. Public servants must be fired en masse, except some very few approved by Palantir who will receive huge salaries, paid by taxpayers.

9. Palantir thinks that Donald Trump must be beatified for throwing himself into public service. Not forgiving folks like Trump everything risks our soul, not to mention that it raises the prospect of officials that restrict Palantir’s evil project.

10. Politics needs to be AI-like, devoid of anything that can be mistaken for human empathy. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self must be sent to the gulag forthwith!

11. There are some people too eager to hasten Palantir’s demise. They should rethink, or else!

12. Palantir makes no nuclear weapons but is happily developing other weapons of mass destruction. We proudly announce that we are now ready to add to nuclear Armageddon the AI-driven threat to humanity’s existence.

13. No other country in the history of the world has committed so many war crimes in the name of progress and freedom. The United States offers infinite freedom to people like Palantir’s founders to profit so handsomely by inflicting so much damage upon humanity.

14. American power has feasted on causing one war after another, one putsch after another, one avoidable financial disaster after another. Too many have forgotten or perhaps have taken for granted America’s capacity to pursue forever wars in the name of peace and democracy.

15. German and Japanese Fascism must be made great again. The denazification of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly misplaced commitment to Japanese pacifism must also end immediately!

16. We should applaud those who attempt to monopolise everything by means of generous government contracts. Billionaires must not be satisfied merely with their billions. To become even more obscenely rich they need grand narratives that help them convince the poor to use their freedom to keep them, the billionaires, in power. And, by the way, Palantir loves Elon, especially his grand apartheid-inspired narrative.

17. Silicon Valley must be free to do in America’s cities what it did in Gaza. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it came to granting Palantir the right to annihilate all remaining civil liberties and human rights. This must end.

18. Epstein’s syndicate should be forgotten lest lovely people like Trump and the Clintons are deterred from entering government. The public arena must be scrutiny-free unless subversives like Sanders or Mamdani enter it.

19. We love banal public figures as long as they give Palantir all the juicy contracts. We also love colourful public figures who give Palantir all the juicy contracts.

20. We need more opium for the masses, as they are not sufficiently inebriated for us to be unimpeded in the pursuit of their complete subjugation. Questioning organised superstition is dangerous and must end.

21. Time to bring back Hitler’s hierarchy of races, with Palantir’s founders and Elon at its Aryan pinnacle. The idea that it is wrong to judge someone by the colour of their skin or their ethnicity or their religion must be jettisoned.

22. Blacks, Muslims, most Asians, and of course women, are inferior untermensch. Blokes in America, and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted putting these subhumans in their places in the name of inclusivity. It was a mistake. Such subhumans must never be allowed in, except as servants or sex service providers – at least until we can improve our robots, in which case we won’t need them at all.

In 1946 the British government introduced free school milk for every child in the country. One third of a pint, every school day, from the age of five to the age of fifteen.

The milk was whole. Full-fat. From British dairy herds. It was delivered to the school gate in small glass bottles with foil caps and left on the doorstep in metal crates, where it sat in the sun until morning break if the weather was warm and developed a slightly suspect taste that an entire generation of British adults can still describe with uncomfortable precision.

The generation that grew up on school milk was, by every anthropometric measure, the healthiest generation of British children ever recorded.

Average height increased. Bone density improved. Dental health, despite the sugar in everything else, improved. Iron deficiency rates among school-age children dropped. The growth charts that the Ministry of Health had been keeping since the war showed a consistent, measurable, year-on-year improvement that tracked precisely onto the introduction of the milk programme.

In 1971 Margaret Thatcher, then Education Secretary, cut free school milk for children over seven. The tabloids called her Thatcher the Milk Snatcher. She was vilified. She kept the policy.

The next generation of British children, the ones who grew up without the daily third of a pint, were measurably less healthy than the one before.

The growth charts show it. The dental records show it. The conscription medicals, while they lasted, showed it. The thing the milk had been providing, the calcium, the vitamin D, the vitamin A, the complete amino acid profile, the conjugated linoleic acid, the fat-soluble nutrients that a growing skeleton requires in order to reach its genetic potential, was no longer arriving at morning break in a glass bottle with a foil cap.

It was replaced, eventually, by nothing. Or by a carton of fruit juice. Or by a packet of crisps from the vending machine that appeared in the school corridor in the 1990s.

The generation that drank the milk is now in its seventies and eighties. They are, on average, taller, stronger-boned, and longer-lived than the generation that came after them.

The milk was not magic.

The milk was milk.

It was the thing the body needed, delivered at the time the body needed it, at a cost the government considered acceptable until it didn't.

The cost of not providing it has been rather higher.
