Iran Israel War Live Updates: US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that a deal with Iran to end the war in the West Asia would be signed on Sunday, and that the strategic Strait of Hormuz would be "open to all" immediately after. Iran had offered a different timeline earlier in the day, but nonetheless signalled an agreement was in the offing, as both the warring parties and their mediators expressed increasing optimism that weeks of halting negotiations were drawing to a close. The new momentum came in spite of fresh skirmishes in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blockaded since early in the war, throwing global markets into turmoil.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary of independence, powerful forces including Rockefellers and others are working on a comprehensive plan to fundamentally transform America and "Refound" it, explained researcher and writer Lisa Logan in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine's Alex Newman. This refounding agenda involves a "color revolution" organized by many of the same individuals and organizations that conducted such operations in Eastern Europe and North Africa, Logan said. However, by educating Americans about this danger, it can be stopped, she said. !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u4"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.

Hope springs eternal for the assorted ceasefires between Israel and Lebanon actually reducing the number of Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Despite the reports that the awaited Iran deal will include calls for an Israeli pullout, however, the strikes and ground troop advancement show no signs of slowing. Between Friday and early Saturday, the IDF has reported more than 70 airstrikes against "terrorist infrastructure" in Lebanon, including artillery strikes against the Nuns Quarter of the city of Nabatieh. At least 5 people have been confirmed killed in various Israeli strikes, including the mayor of Ar-Rihan. Three people were killed in strikes on the Nabatieh District while another was slain in an airstrike against the town of Maarekeh, in Tyre District. Troops were reported to be continuing to demolish buildings in the town of Bint Jbeil, which Israel captured after heavy fighting earlier in the war. Israeli troops also advanced near the village of Kfar Tebnit, forcing

America's Hidden Food Crisis and the Fear of Confiscation

News Story Source: https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Milan Adams
In a world increasingly shaped by shortages, crises, and expanding emergency powers, some fear that the next battle for control may not be over money or energy, but over something far more essential: food itself. For generations, people understood something that modern society gradually allowed itself to forget. True wealth had very little to do with numbers displayed on computer screens or with the promises printed on paper. Real security was tangible. It could be stacked on shelves, buried beneath layers of earth, preserved inside jars, hanging in smokehouses, or walking around inside a fenced pasture. Families who had survived wars, economic depressions, devastating droughts, and entire decades of uncertainty understood that food itself represented freedom. It was not merely something purchased at the supermarket. It was insurance against chaos, protection against hunger, and perhaps the only form of wealth that retained its value when everything else collapsed. Long before refri

A short time after Pakistani Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar told Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan that the deal will be signed electronically, Trump took to Truth Social to confirm the deal will be formalized. Trump began his post by trashing former President Barack Obama's Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, stressing that his deal is "the exact opposite." He also stated that after the deal is signed, the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil travels, will immediately open. "Barack Hussein Obama's Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!" he began. "In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase

AI's Core Flaw: "Mass Regurgitation Of Misinformation"

I approach all AI topics with several things in mind. One is the nature of problems, which implicitly define what qualifies as solutions, and the resulting incentive to define the "problem" such that the "solution" happens to be the one we own and control. So the "problem" AI solves is "corporate profits are too low," and so the "solution" is to replace costly human labor (made costlier by SickCare insurance and taxes on labor) with "cheaper" AI (cheaper because the full costs are hidden or subsidized). My other lens: the economic, social and cultural consequences of AI as it is and AI hype, a topic I've explored most recently in Is AI Reversing Anti-Progress or Is It Accelerating It?, AI Data Centers Are Not the Railroads of Today and Inequality, AI and Digital Life Are Undermining Society.

The new documents contained encounters from around the world, such as reports of a "disc-like" object in Zimbabwe, a "potato shaped" craft in Colorado, and "heavenly" phenomena moving at speeds of 12,000 kilometers per hour in Hungary. The third batch adds to the previous two document dumps of UFO and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) files released by the Pentagon on May 8 and May 22. Those batches also detailed stunning encounters, including Apollo 11 astronauts seeing a "sizable" object near the moon and a UAP being shot down over the Great Lakes. Here are some key highlights from a partial review of the newly released files. 'Brilliant Red Sphere' The FBI interviewed U.S. citizens in February about their firsthand accounts of potential UAPs in their backyard. The documents were partially redacted and did not disclose when or where these encounters occurred—only that it was in the northeastern United States.

Trump's Second Executive Order On March 31, the White House reported Trump issues second executive order on elections, giving U.S. Postal Service unprecedented control over mail voting. The executive order is labeled ENSURING CITIZENSHIP VERIFICATION AND INTEGRITY IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS The order mandates states to send the U.S. Postal Service a list of voters "to whom the State intends to provide a mail-in or absentee ballot" 60 days before any federal election, and directs the Postal Service to create "unique ballot envelope identifiers, such as bar codes" for those voters.

A Trump official informed the Free Press that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been "extremely clear" about his intention to focus on individuals who "support adversaries of the United States" and whose actions allegedly compromise the country's security. "Anyone who seeks to undermine the US, we're taking a hard look at," the official said, while not explaining how Parsi's analysis of foreign policy constitutes a threat. News reports suggest that US officials are initiating deportation proceedings against several US green-card holders who they believe have expressed sympathy for Iran. Parsi serves as the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, a foreign-policy think tank that promotes realism and restraint in foreign policy. "As a research institution we expose the dangerous consequences of an overly militarized American foreign policy," states an overview of the organization. Personnel include the journalist Jim Lo

A train that never touches the ground just broke the speed of a jet.

For reference, a Boeing 737 tops out at around 585 mph. This is not science fiction. Engineers used powerful superconducting electromagnets to lift the train off its track entirely, removing all friction, and sealed it inside a near-airless tube to eliminate wind resistance. The result is a machine that flies on land. What makes this even more remarkable is the future roadmap. ???? Scientists at Donghu Laboratory have already targeted a next phase reaching 1,243 mph, and a long-term vision for 2,485 mph, nearly three times the speed of sound. A Beijing to Shanghai journey that currently takes six hours by rail could shrink to just 90 minutes. Imagine boarding a train in the morning and arriving in another city before your first meeting even starts. This is the next chapter of human movement.
