I have a theory that everyone consumed a piece of media between 9-13 years old that is the foundation of their entire worldview. Everything they learnt since was stacked on top of this. It's a great dinner question to ask people.

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: Amid extreme pressure from Israel for US President Donald Trump to enter its war with Iran, President Trump claims he has not decided.
Western politicians and media are tying themselves up in knots trying to spin the impossible: presenting Israel’s unmistakable war of aggression against Iran as some kind of "defensive" move.
Reprinted from CommonDreams. For nearly 30 years, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has driven the Middle East into war and destruction. The man is a powder keg of violence.

As the aviation industry faces growing pressure to decarbonize, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has emerged as a key solution to reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. While bio-based and synthetic SAF options have received much attention, a less-discussed but highly promising route is now gaining momentum: converting waste tires into jet fuel through continuous pyrolysis.
The Challenge: Greener Skies, Cleaner Sources Aviation accounts for about 2–3% of global carbon emissions, and its demand is projected to rise sharply in the coming decades. Traditional fossil-based jet fuel remains the dominant energy source, making decarbonization particularly difficult. One of the key strategies to address this challenge is SAF — fuels that can replace conventional kerosene while offering significant emission reductions across their lifecycle.
What is Continuous Tire Pyrolysis? Continuous pyrolysis is an advanced thermochemical process that decomposes materials like end-of-life tires at high temperatures in an oxygen-free environment continuous tyre pyrolysis plant. Unlike batch pyrolysis, the continuous process allows for uninterrupted feedstock input and product output, making it more efficient and scalable for industrial use.
Through this process, tires — which are composed of synthetic rubber, carbon black, steel, and oils — can be broken down into:
Pyrolysis oil (also called tire-derived oil or TDO)
Carbon black (recovered for industrial reuse)
Pyrolytic gas (used to power the system itself)
Scrap steel (recyclable)
From TDO to Jet Fuel The key innovation lies in upgrading pyrolysis oil into aviation-grade fuel. This involves several steps:
Hydrotreatment: Removing impurities like sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic compounds to stabilize the oil.
Hydrocracking or isomerization: Breaking down heavy molecules and rearranging them into hydrocarbons with desired properties.
Distillation and blending: Producing a final SAF product that meets international standards (e.g., ASTM D7566).
The result is a drop-in jet fuel with significantly reduced carbon intensity — and derived from a waste product that would otherwise pollute the environment.
Environmental and Economic Advantages Carbon reduction: Lifecycle emissions of SAF from tire-derived oil can be up to 80% lower than conventional jet fuel.
Waste valorization: Turns a major pollution source (scrap tires) into a valuable fuel.
Energy self-sufficiency: The pyrolysis process produces its own fuel gas, reducing external energy demand.
Economic potential: With millions of tons of tires discarded globally each year, the feedstock is abundant and cheap.
Conclusion: A Circular Flight Path The journey from discarded tires to high-altitude jet engines may seem improbable — but it represents a powerful synergy of waste management, green chemistry, and clean transportation. By transforming tire pyrolysis oil into certified jet fuel, we not only address the growing demand for SAF but also chart a new course in the circular economy.
This is not just a technical breakthrough — it’s a pathway revolution for sustainable aviation.

It's "interesting" how more likely people will report accounts that are seeking mutual aid if the seeker is not white. With no evidence provided.
Seeking financial support for Pixie BoBo's next dental clean at the vets - ok.

#Palestine / Israeli [Jewish] protester strip-searched after anti-war demonstration near Netanyahu's residence
An Israeli woman protesting outside Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem was arrested and subjected to a full strip search by police. The woman was demonstrating against the war, holding photos of hostages with signs reading "Stop the War" and "Refuse Wars."
Her lawyer Nasser Odeh from the Human Rights Fund called it an illegal search conducted without proper authority, violating her rights and dignity solely for exercising freedom of expression. Legal experts note that strip searches are typically reserved for serious crimes involving suspected hidden weapons or drugs - not routine protest arrests.
Since the war began, Israeli police have dispersed multiple anti-war vigils, including arrests of protesters in Tel Aviv and Haifa. A Tel Aviv court recently ordered the release of protester Amir Haskel, rejecting police restrictions on "illegal" demonstrations.
Hello fedi! How have you been doing this month so far? What have you been up to? Got any exciting plans to come?
I'm hoping to spend some time learning to play the piano this month. I'm not sure how I'm going to do it yet though. But it's a feel good thing. I'd love to play some classical piano pieces and to understand how to read from a music sheet. It'll be a nice hobby and treat once I get it going.
@relentless_eduardo Yeah. Good idea to practice the basic finger exercises. I'll have to learn this alone though. So some books on the matter are in order. I just need to learn sheet music first.

Israel, as we all know, bombs hospitals constantly. Israel bombed an Iranian hospital just the other day to almost no coverage from the western press. Israel has attacked healthcare workers and healthcare facilities in Gaza around 700 times according to the World Health Organisation, and the IDF has repeatedly been documented entering the hospitals it attacks to destroy individual pieces of medical equipment. Israel, unlike Iran, is deliberately targeting healthcare facilities to make Gaza unlivable.

Die dort vorgebrachten Argumente, dir provisorische Maßnahmen verhinderten hat Deutschland alle komplett abgeräumt. Nach dem Beschluss kam dann das Rechtsgutachten über die Besatzung. Und die deutschen Regierungen zeigen vor allem eins: Ignoranz, Skrupellosigkeit, Rassismus.
Even a staunch conservative like Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is saying this now. Worrying.
Contrary to general belief, Weimar democracy did not die when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany in January 1933.
It died the year before under Franz von Papen, a national conservative with social-Darwinist views and a visceral hatred of liberal modernist “filth” in all its forms.
One of his first actions was to end execution by the guillotine – deemed too Jacobin – and return to the ancient Prussian practice of death by the axe.
Von Papen exploited a street clash between Communist Red Front dockers and Nazi Brownshirts on Prussian territory to carry out a constitutional coup against the elected Social Democrat government of Prussia, by far the biggest and most important of Germany’s self-governing states. He seized control of policing and state security on the pretext that the Social Democrats were failing to uphold law and order.
Historian Sir Richard Evans says this Preußenschlag (Prussian coup) of July 1932 was the critical moment in inter-war Germany, opening the door for much that followed.
What Donald Trump has done by activating the California National Guard against the protest of the governor, and then bringing in US Marines – both of which his critics argue are unconstitutional – is a very light version of Preußenschlag, but in some ways it is worse. The street protests in Los Angeles were the result of his own theatrical stunt. You could be forgiven for thinking he deliberately provoked the alleged “rebellion” in order to set this precedent.
One can see now why Trump moved so fast to purge the top echelons of the US defence department, including the three judge advocates general. These officials rule on whether military orders are legal, and when they should be disobeyed. They are legally independent by Congressional statute.
Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary, told us why they had been sacked: it was to stop them posing any “roadblocks to orders given by the commander-in-chief”.
Did Trump mean it when he told his generals to “just shoot” American protesters during the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020? We may find out.
He also fired the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and others deemed symbols of “diversity, equity, and inclusion”, although one might suspect another motive.
An earlier chairman – General Mark Milley – refused to ratify the Putsch of Jan 6 2021, and therefore stopped it stone dead. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or to a tyrant or dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution,” he said.
Trump is attacking California on several fronts at once, shrewdly judging that Governor Gavin Newsom is the perfect foil. He is stripping the state of its powers under the Clean Power Act to impose tougher pollution rules than federal levels. He has signed an order blocking California’s plan to phase out petrol cars by 2035, and another stopping it capping nitrogen oxide emissions. He now is threatening to withhold federal disaster aid for wildfires.
Trump called him “Governor Newscum” and added in his inimitable style: “You know, hatred is never a good thing in politics. When you don’t like somebody, you don’t respect somebody, it’s harder for that person to get money if you’re on top.”
Forgive me for sounding jaundiced, but decades ago I covered the Republican crusade under Speaker Newt Gingrich to restore states rights and check the usurpations of federal power. Gingrich and his party are now egging on the federal military occupation of states that stand in Trump’s way.
James Carville, veteran Democratic strategist and Clinton-fixer, says the Democrats should bide their time and “play possum”, betting that Trump will self-destruct under the contradictions of his own policies. The bond markets will do the job for them. Congress will drop back into Democrat hands like a ripe fruit in the 2026 mid-terms.
I never expected to find myself impugning the ruthless Mr Carville for credulous naivety. Declaration of interest: he once carried out a black ops campaign against me personally from an office in the White House, which I no doubt deserved, all is forgiven anyway.
Playing possum is what the German Social Democrats did in the early 1930s. Reading the first two volumes of Sir Richard Evans’s magisterial trilogy, The Coming of the Third Reich and The Third Reich in Power, I am struck again and again by the refusal of the moderate middle to face up to what was happening. They had a touching faith that the courts would save them.
But the judges were ideologically captured, or frightened, or did what most human beings do in turbulent times: they pre-emptively adapted to keep their families out of trouble.
The Social Democrats made another fatal error. They assumed that Hitler’s eccentric mish-mash of economic policies would lead quickly to a crisis, greatly underestimating the lift from neo-Keynesian rearmament, so like Trump’s gargantuan deficits.
American democracy has much deeper roots but the imminent bombing of Iran by the US air force gives pause for thought. There may be excellent reasons to knock out Iran’s nuclear capability, though doing in this way, flippantly, like a power-drunk despot, conflating non-proliferation with regime change, drives the final nail in the coffin of Western moral credibility.
That said, polls suggest that almost 80pc of Americans would applaud the destruction of the Fordow nuclear site, and most would support cutting off the head of the serpent in Tehran. Trump might face a Maga revolt on the edges but the larger bounce in popularity would let him steam roll opposition to his tariff war, his climate war, and his “beautiful big bill” – a giant transfer of income from poor to rich. I don’t believe Steven Bannon’s warning that intervention will “tear the country apart”, unless the bombing mission goes awry.
The strongman glow will open the window further for Trump’s takeover of the deep state. He has already fired the heads of the FBI’s intelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigations, as well as the heads of the Washington and New York offices. He has purged the justice department, now run by a Lord High Executioner from The Mikado, openly touting an enemies list of “conspirators”. He has forced private law firms to bend the knee.
He has put in a loyalist in charge of the CIA, who inconveniently reported in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. But that was then, when Trump stood for America First, and staying out of forever wars was policy. He has fired the head of the eaves-dropping National Security Agency and its top officials. He has purged the head of the Federal Trade Commission, who is independent by law, like the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
America in 2025 is obviously not Germany in 1932. The Weimar republic was already a cauldron of political violence. That year was the worst of the Great Depression. The country was seething with rage over the cultivated myths of the 1918 “stab in the back” and the Carthaginian peace of Versailles.
It is even less like Germany in 1933 when the Nazis used their three cabinet seats to take over the Prussian and federal interior ministries. Within five months the Social Democrats leadership was dead, or in Dachau, or in exile. All rival parties were shut down. No independent newspaper survived. Every organisation from the labour unions, to male choirs, sports teams and beekeeper clubs came under Nazi control.
But it is not the same America that was my home for long stretches of the late 20th century. Over the last few days alone: a Democratic US senator was manhandled to the floor, handcuffed and dragged away for asking a question; the Democrat comptroller of New York was seized and handcuffed by masked federal agents after demanding to see a judicial warrant; a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota was murdered with her husband at home, and a state senator was shot and badly wounded, both by an assassin with a hit list of 45 officials.
Judges have so far issued more than 60 rulings that curb or restrain Trump’s legal overreach. A shocking number have either been threatened, directly or through their families, or face calls for impeachment.
“Our constitutional system depends on judges who can make decisions free from threats and intimidation,” warned judge Robert Conrad, director of the administrative office of the US courts, in testimony to Congress. To no avail: the House judiciary committee shrugged it off, more or less blaming the victims.
The drift of events was disturbing even before Iran offered Trump a fresh gift from Mars. I fear that many more lines in the sand will be crossed in the heady aftermath of a surgical video war on the Ayatollah, if that is where we are headed.
Play possum if you want. Trump will eat your lunch.

Purchasing a crusher plant represents a significant capital investment, yet many buyers focus solely on sticker prices rather than the complex matrix of factors that determine long-term value. The true cost equation extends far beyond initial purchase figures, encompassing production efficiency, maintenance requirements, and operational flexibility that collectively determine your return on investment. Savvy buyers analyze six key stone crusher plant price determinants before committing to ensure their crusher plant delivers both immediate performance and lasting economic value.
Production Capacity Versus Actual Needs
Overestimating required throughput remains the most common and costly mistake in crusher plant selection. While 300 TPH plants command 40-60% higher prices than 150 TPH models, they only prove cost-effective if consistently operating near capacity. The sweet spot lies in plants sized to handle peak demand periods while maintaining 70-80% utilization during normal operations.
Crushing chamber design significantly impacts real-world throughput. Advanced models with variable geometry chambers maintain production rates as wear parts degrade, while simpler designs lose up to 20% capacity over time. This engineering difference often justifies 15-25% price premiums through consistent output and extended maintenance intervals.
Wear Part Economics and Maintenance Complexity
Crusher plants with easily replaceable wear components reduce downtime costs by 30-50%. Look for designs featuring:
Rotating jaw systems that distribute wear evenly
Hydraulic adjustment mechanisms for quick gap changes
Standardized components that minimize custom fabrication
Maintenance accessibility directly impacts labor costs. Stone crusher plants requiring specialized tools or disassembly for routine servicing add $15-25 per operating hour in hidden expenses. Superior designs position grease points, inspection ports, and replaceable liners for tool-free access.
Energy Efficiency and Operational Costs
Electric-driven crushing systems offer 35-45% lower operating costs than diesel-hydraulic models in grid-connected locations. The price differential typically pays itself back within 18-24 months through energy savings alone. Hybrid systems now entering the market combine the mobility of diesel with the efficiency of electric, automatically switching between power sources based on load requirements.
Smart control systems provide another efficiency lever. Plants with load-sensing technology and automatic feed rate adjustment consume 15-20% less power while maintaining optimal crushing chamber conditions. These systems add 8-12% to upfront costs but deliver continuous savings across the mobile jaw crushermobile jaw crusher plant's lifespan.
The most economical crusher plant isn't necessarily the cheapest to purchase—it's the system that delivers the lowest cost per ton over its operational life. By evaluating these price factors holistically rather than individually, buyers avoid false economies and secure plants that become profit centers rather than money pits. The right balance of upfront investment and operating efficiency separates industry leaders from those constantly repairing or replacing underperforming equipment.
