#Counterpunch
In the largest eviction of a homeless encampment in recent history, around 100 unhoused people were recently forced to vacate Oregon’s Deschutes National Forest — or else face a $5,000 fine and up to one year in jail.

The forest was the last hope for the encampment’s residents, many of whom were living in broken down RVs and cars. Shelters in nearby Bend — where the average home price is nearly $800,000 — are at capacity, and rent is unaffordable.

Omni-Narrational Skepticism Confirmed

If #ClownWorld says it’s true, it is definitely fake and quite possibly #gay. Forget the #obvious #frauds of #TheGhostOfKiev, #GlobalWarming, and #AnneFrank, now the #fake #history of #HarrietTubman has been conclusively exposed to be completely fraudulent.


Harriet Tubman probably didn’t exist. I don’t mean the person. There was a Harriet Tubman, and she was a former slave – but she was also likely mentally handicapped from being hit on the head with a weight when she was 12. No, I’m not talking about whether a person existed. I’m talking about the entire mythos surrounding her supposed life; her “hagiography” in the Leftie cultural slop milieu that gets forced down the throats of every schoolchild starting in elementary grades.

There are, quite literally, no primary sources for her fabled exploits. Not a single one.

No historian can corroborate any of her supposed quotes, or any stories from her life. Which seems… odd, right? Considering how many she supposedly helped to free? Surely there’d be a record of someone, somewhere, whom she helped.

But there’s not. Why?

Turns out it all comes from one guy, quite literally an #anti-White #journalist who was named #EarlCohen. He wrote a couple books in the 1940’s – in which he only cites his earlier articles. It’s an #absurd #fiction that has been pushed on, quite literally, schoolchildren – to get them to #hate their own #people and #history.


If they say it’s true, it isn’t. And it really doesn’t take much to expose their lies. It doesn’t matter what the supposed historical event was, if they said it happened, it probably didn’t, and at the very least, it didn’t happen in the way, or to the extent, they falsely claim it did.

You may believe the facade that Regretta Thumperberg is interested in human rights but the truth is the only rights she is interested in are those of the ultra-elites and wants to bring in the new world order, mass depopulation, 15 minute cities, no private vehicle ownership, etc. So while I loath what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians, I also loath what Regretta is trying to do to humankind and I suspect that is where Linsay Graham is coming from.

Palestinian Resistance Targets Occupiers in Gaza, Casualties Reported


Multiple Zionist media platforms on Tuesday reported a security incident in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip, confirming preliminary reports regarding casualties among Israeli occupation forces.

According to reports in the Gaza Strip, Zionist tanks and artillery shelled both al-Shujaiya and al-Tuffah neighborhoods on Tuesday evening. The escalation followed reports of a direct security incident involving occupation forces in the area.

Occupation helicopters opened heavy fire across al-Shujaiya, while warplanes carried out intense air raids simultaneously, according to field updates. The sustained bombardment came after resilient resistance operations against the occupation forces.

IED explosion kills three Zionist soldiers in Jabalia


The Zionist occupation army acknowledged earlier on Tuesday the deaths of three soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip, following operations by Palestinian resistance groups, who continue to carry out ambushes and targeted strikes.

Zionist Channel 12 confirmed that the three soldiers were killed in an improvised explosive device (IED) attack in Jabalia yesterday. The outlet noted that the evacuation operation was prolonged and took place amid ongoing confrontations, during which several more Zionist soldiers were injured.

The latest developments underscore the intensifying pace of Gaza resistance operations, particularly in the north.

Zionist casualties in al-Shujaiya and the IED attack in Jabalia reflect the continued ability of Palestinian fighters to inflict losses despite the ongoing aerial and ground assault by the occupation forces.

Zionist soldiers killed, injured in Jabalia ambush


On a related note, Zionist media reported on Monday evening that several occupation soldiers were killed and injured in a serious security incident in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza. According to initial reports, a Zionist military Humvee was struck with an anti-tank missile, resulting in at least two fatalities and multiple injuries.

The incident occurred amid an ongoing confrontation in the area, with Zionist media describing it as part of a broader “ongoing event” involving heavy resistance engagement.

Attempts by occupation forces to evacuate the dead and wounded were reportedly thwarted by intense gunfire, further escalating the confrontation.

In an official statement, the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed their fighters were involved in point-blank engagement with Zionist soldiers east of the Jabalia refugee camp, asserting that they inflicted direct casualties on the advancing forces.

Strategic Utility of Batch Pyrolysis in Resource Recovery System

Batch pyrolysis remains a viable and cost-effective approach in the thermal decomposition of solid waste. While continuous systems dominate high-volume processing operations, batch configurations retain strategic value in localized, flexible, and entry-level applications. Operating a batch pyrolysis plant introduces a set of distinct advantages—technological, economic, and operational—that are critical in niche deployments and small-to-medium waste management scenarios.

Simplified Engineering for Cost Efficiency


The design architecture of a small pyrolysis machine emphasizes mechanical simplicity. Unlike continuous systems with elaborate feeding and discharge subsystems, batch units consist of a closed reaction chamber, manual feeding mechanism, and time-sequenced operation. This structural minimalism translates to:

Lower capital expenditure for initial investment

Fewer wear-prone components, reducing maintenance burden

Minimal automation requirements, lowering system integration complexity

This makes the batch pyrolysis plant particularly suitable for operators entering the pyrolysis sector or those operating in regions with limited technical infrastructure.

Flexible Feedstock Compatibility


Batch pyrolysis machine accommodates a wide spectrum of feedstocks—including scrap tires, plastics, oil sludge, and biomass—without extensive pre-treatment. The operator can manually control feed composition and loading patterns, allowing greater adaptability to heterogeneous waste streams. This feature proves especially valuable for:

Decentralized waste sources with inconsistent input profiles

Experimental or R&D applications requiring varying feed compositions

Custom fuel formulation objectives

In waste-to-energy ecosystems, this flexibility ensures higher resource recovery even with variable supply chains.

Controlled Reaction Environment


A batch pyrolysis plant operates on discrete cycles, allowing precise control over process parameters such as residence time, peak temperature, and heating rate. Such control leads to consistent product yield and quality, especially important in:

Targeted recovery of specific oil fractions

Maximizing carbon black purity from rubber-based inputs

Controlled volatilization for minimal char contamination

This batch-based operational rhythm offers a thermodynamically stable environment, which supports material characterization and product optimization.

Enhanced Safety and Operational Oversight


Batch pyrolysis is inherently easier to monitor and manage due to its cyclic operation. Each cycle involves a clear sequence—loading, heating, cooling, discharging—which can be individually supervised. As a result:

Thermal anomalies or feed anomalies can be isolated without process-wide disruption

Shut-down procedures are simpler and safer

Maintenance schedules can align with operation pauses, minimizing unplanned downtime

In high-sensitivity environments or where regulatory oversight is stringent, the batch system offers greater transparency in operational metrics.

Scalable Modular Integration


Despite their lower throughput, batch units can be deployed in modular clusters. This modularization offers operational scalability without the risks associated with large-scale investment. Users can:

Add units incrementally as demand grows

Isolate underperforming modules without halting full operations

Allocate specific units for distinct feedstocks or product goals

This segmentation model supports diversified waste processing strategies while maintaining equipment redundancy and operational resilience.

Reduced Energy Input per Cycle


Batch pyrolysis systems typically require shorter continuous operating times compared to 24/7 continuous systems. Energy input is applied in cycles, and depending on insulation and reactor design, residual heat can be leveraged for preheating subsequent batches. These factors contribute to:

Reduced daily energy expenditure

Possibility of integrating renewable heat sources (e.g., biomass combustion) during idle phases

Lower environmental impact per ton processed

Such energy dynamics support cost containment and align with sustainability benchmarks in off-grid or semi-urban settings.

Suitability for Emerging Markets and Pilot Operations


Batch pyrolysis plants are particularly well-suited for regions in early stages of waste valorization infrastructure. Their low dependence on utilities, simplified training requirements, and reduced compliance overhead make them effective transitional technologies. They serve as:

Demonstration platforms for feasibility studies

Interim solutions before continuous systems are commissioned

Low-risk assets for market testing and technology validation

Governments and private operators often deploy batch systems to establish baseline performance metrics and build operator proficiency before scaling operations.

Pyrolysis Plant

Nowadays, pyrolysis plant has become a popular technical solution in solid waste disposal (including biomass, plastic, oil sludge, and tire rubber). The

💥 Paukenschlag 💥

#FDA-Studie bestätigt, dass #Covid - #mRNA- #Impfstoffe #Krebs verursachen!


Bei Tests, durchgeführt auf dem White Oak Campus der FDA in Maryland, wurden schockierende Mengen an #DNA-Kontamination in den #Impfstoffen gefunden. Die Rest-#DNA-Werte überstiegen die gesetzlichen Sicherheitsgrenzen um das 6- bis 470-fache.

Die FDA wird voraussichtlich noch in diesem Monat zu den Ergebnissen Stellung nehmen.

Kevin McKernan, ein ehemaliger Direktor des Humangenomprojekts, bezeichnete die Ergebnisse als „Bombe“. „Diese Ergebnisse sind nicht nur deshalb von Bedeutung, weil sie etwas enthüllen, sondern auch, weil sie darauf hindeuten, dass sie der Öffentlichkeit vorenthalten wurden“, sagte McKernan.

Dr. #McKernan, ein Genomik-Wissenschaftler mit 25 Jahren Erfahrung auf seinem Gebiet, machte die Entdeckung bei Experimenten in seinem Labor in Boston. McKernan führte eine Gen-Sequenzierung eines Krebstumors durch und konnte die genetische Sequenz mit der Covid-mRNA-Injektion von Pfizer vergleichen. Die Entdeckung wird als definitiver Beweis dafür gefeiert, dass Covid mRNA-„Impfstoffe“ Krebs verursachen.

„Wir sind jetzt in der Phase, in der wir #Tumore nach Integrationsereignissen durchsuchen und nach Beweisen dafür in Krebsbiopsien suchen“, sagte McKernan. „Und wir können sie jetzt finden. Sie fanden eines, das einen wirklich hohen Spike-Proteingehalt hatte, der uns zur Sequenzierung geschickt wurde. Und wir können ein Jahr nach der Impfung Bestandteile der Impfstoffe von Pfizer in diesem Ding finden."

Der Immunologie-Professor Nikolai Petrovsky, der Direktor von Vaxine Pty Ltd, bezeichnete die Ergebnisse der neuen FDA-Studie als „rauchende Pistole“. „Sie zeigt eindeutig, dass die FDA von diesen Daten wusste“, so Petrovsky. „Wenn man bedenkt, dass diese Studien in ihren eigenen Labors unter der Aufsicht ihrer eigenen Wissenschaftler durchgeführt wurden, kann man schwerlich behaupten, dass sie nichts davon wussten.“

Angus Dalgleish, ein weltweit anerkannter Professor für Onkologie, warnte, dass er bei seinen Patienten, die Covid-mRNA-Injektionen erhalten haben, eine „Explosion“ tödlicher „Turbokarzinome“ beobachtet habe.

Letztes Jahr legte Dr. Robert #Malone, der Erfinder der mRNA-Impfstofftechnologie, bei einer Anhörung vor dem Kongress Beweise dafür vor, dass Moderna von den Krebsverbindungen wusste. Während seiner Aussage präsentierte Malone das Patent für den Covid-Impfstoff von Moderna. Aus dem Patent von Moderna geht hervor, dass die COVID-19-Impfstoffampullen Milliarden von DNA-Fragmenten enthalten. Diese Fragmente werden zusammen mit anderen Verunreinigungen mit Geburtsschäden und Krebs in Verbindung gebracht, erklärte Malone.

In dem Patent gibt Moderna zu, dass Verunreinigungen in den Impfungen Krebs verursachen. „Die FDA sagt, sie sei sich keiner Bedenken bewusst, aber Moderna legt in seinem eigenen Patent genau die gleichen Bedenken dar, die bei DNA in Bezug auf Insertionsmutagenese und Genotoxizität bestehen.“

#Moderna weiß es also – die DNA ist ein Schadstoff.

Please, tell me again how anarchism is chaos.

If this whole sorry episode of human history shows us one thing, it’s not that “we don’t need leaders” but that the very concept of “leaders” is incompatible with the future of our species. Advanced civilisation cannot survive under these primitive hierarchies that concentrate inordinate amounts of power in the hands of a relative handful of individuals. Look at the sorry state of these danger clowns.

Either we find ways to devolve power, divorce primitive ideals of strong(wo)man leaders, and embrace government as service among peers or I see a very short adolescence stage for humanity that falls shy of reaching adulthood. Our bullshit isn’t new by any means but it wasn’t terminal for the species when we were toddlers. Today, with our level of technology, it very much is.

We could be tending our planet while exploring the stars for a second home to halve our risk of extinction. Instead, we’re navel gazing at its precipice. It’s obscene. masto.ai/@rbreich/114635480242…

Traditional street lighting systems often rely on outdated technologies

Street lighting like led warehouse lighting high bay is one of the most essential services provided by municipalities, yet it can also be one of the most energy-intensive. Managing street lighting effectively not only improves public safety and livability but also plays a key role in reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs. With thoughtful planning and modern technology, cities and towns can achieve both safety and sustainability.

Traditional street lighting systems often rely on outdated technologies that consume large amounts of electricity and require frequent maintenance. In contrast, modern systems using LED fixtures offer greater efficiency, longer service life, and better quality of light. Transitioning to LED lighting can significantly reduce a city's energy footprint while maintaining or even enhancing illumination standards.

A smart energy management strategy starts with an assessment of the existing street lighting infrastructure. Municipalities should consider the age, condition, and energy use of current fixtures. This helps identify opportunities for upgrades, retrofitting, or complete replacement. Many cities begin with pilot projects in selected areas to evaluate performance and build community support.

Lighting control systems are another important part of modern energy management. These systems allow cities to adjust lighting levels based on real-time conditions such as traffic flow, pedestrian presence, or time of night. Dimming lights during low-traffic hours or using motion sensors in less active areas can lead to substantial energy savings. Moreover, these systems offer remote monitoring, which simplifies maintenance and reduces response time to outages.

Energy-efficient lighting also contributes to broader environmental goals. Reducing electricity usage helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and supports climate action initiatives. Additionally, thoughtful lighting design can minimize light pollution, protecting natural habitats and improving nighttime quality of life for residents.

Financing these upgrades may seem daunting, but various funding models are available. Energy savings performance contracts, government grants, and public-private partnerships can ease the financial burden. In many cases, the long-term energy savings and reduced maintenance costs can offset the initial investment.

Public engagement is also important. When residents understand the benefits of energy-efficient street lighting — including cost savings, environmental impact, and improved safety — they are more likely to support new initiatives. Transparency in planning and implementation helps build trust and ensures that changes reflect the needs of the community.

In summary, effective energy management in street lighting is a vital responsibility for municipalities seeking to modernize their infrastructure and improve quality of life. By embracing energy-efficient technologies and smart lighting controls, cities can create safer, more sustainable, and economically resilient urban environments.


High Bay LED Light Calculator - Alite Lighting

A fundamental guideline for spacing is that the height of the LED fixtures should equal the distance between them. For example, if lights are mounted at a height of 20 feet, they should also be spaced 20 feet apart.

#Palestine / Illegal outposts erected in villages in Masafer Yatta in attempt to expel residents

In early May, most homes in the village of Khalat a-Daba in Masafer Yatta were demolished by the Civil Administration, forcing residents into tents and caves. Settlers then established an outpost inside two caves, displacing families and bringing hundreds of sheep and goats that damaged trees.

After the settlers left, residents feared they were promised something in return for dismantling the outpost themselves. According to Jaber Dbabsa, this mirrors the situation in Mughayyir al-Deir (a small Palestinian Bedouin community located about 5 kilometers southeast of the village Yatta, was inhabited by around 25 families from the Ka’abneh tribe). Despite the destruction and confiscation of property, the residents of Khalat a-Daba remain.

Following the demolition of homes, settlers attacked the village, leading to arrests. A resident was arrested for filing a complaint after settlers occupied his cave. Attacks by the army and settlers have increased in recent years, with homes burned and pogroms [note the use of the loaded term #pogrom in the original text in Hebrew] committed.

Since the start of the war, residents of over 60 communities in Area C have been displaced, and more than 80 outposts have been established. According to Souod Dbabsa, settlers want to control the village to disconnect the other villages in Masafer Yatta.

[…] Dababsa claims that the settlers and the army are working together: "They say it is a firing zone, but the law applies only to us and not to the settlers. The goal is to expel us. They do not care about our ownership documents. They brought the herding outposts to take from us everything we need to exist. There is nowhere to go with the sheep. It's all one plan, in Gaza and here. They want to expel everyone. But we have nowhere else, we will not leave."

mekomit.co.il/%D7%91%D7%A0%D7%…

Apropos Mughayyir al-Deir, which is mentioned as a precedent, in May 2025, settlers, with the support or acquiescence of the Israeli military, set up a new outpost inside the village, leading to the displacement of the community. Over 100 settlers and hilltop youth attacked nearby Palestinian villages, burning homes and vehicles, while the military seized additional land purportedly for security reasons. The evacuation was marked by violence against residents and human rights activists attempting to protect them. Hebrew mistaclim.org/en/articles/the-…
