Fusion of AI with the American war machine is the most dangerous turn in human history
The Pentagon calls America’s AI-first military its new “manifest destiny.” Mike Adams calls it a one-way ticket to a dystopia from which we may never escape. The “AI-first” military is characterised by the integration of autonomous drones and machine learning into combat. But, Adams argues, government-led AI initiatives are actually efforts to centralise control over its own citizens.
Ukraine’s former commander-in-chief Zaluzhny says Ukraine will never join NATO
I know NATO very well. For about twelve years I have personally worked on mastering NATO standards, and every year I have heard the same story that we will soon join. Unfortunately, we will never do that, he said at a meeting with ambassadors in Kyiv, according to Yevropeiska Pravda. Zaluzhnyi believes that NATO “follows doctrines that originate from World War II,” and that membership is therefore unreasonable given how quickly Ukrainian defence is developing.
NYU student accused of raising swastika flag at campus site dedicated to Jewish donor shows face in Manhattan court

Metasurface Breakthrough Makes Blistering Laser Light Speeds a Reality
The speed of laser light is due for a major upgrade after an international collaboration of scientists has developed a breakthrough nanomaterial. The new metasurface can steer and shape light beams at unprecedented speeds of just 74 quadrillionths of a second. Scientists at UC Berkeley and Tel Aviv University revealed their new optical surface, developed in a Caltech lab, in a recent paper published in Nature Nanotechnology.

Of the 14 crew members, 13 are reported to be Indian.
France records its hottest July on record as Austria hits all-time high in Vienna
July was the warmest month ever recorded in France since records began in 1900, according to Météo-France. This is 3.8 degrees above the average temperature for the month, breaking previous records from the heat waves in August 2003 and July 2006. July was also the third driest month on record, according to the weather institute. Precipitation was almost 70 percent below average, which has led to parched soil and a very high fire risk.
New Russian Tech Aimed At Ukraine
Russia is introducing new technology into the Ukraine war. Will it help the Russians win in the conflict? Even more tantalizing, both were developed by private sector companies in Russia! Russia has launched two new products that promise a lot. But can they deliver? The first, and perhaps the most important, is a new satellite communications system called Rassvet 3 (”Dawn”). It is Russia’s answer to Starlink, Elon Musk’s fabulous network of between 10,870 to 10,890 satellites.
Oil Tumbles On Iran Deal Buzz As Rubio Still Insists ‘Denuclearization’ Is The ‘Ultimate’ Goal
Rubio: The “ultimate deal” is the denuclearization of Iran, while Omani talks focus on reopening Hormuz. Stalemate persists: Iran refuses nuclear negotiations until the conflict ends, leaving both sides far apart.
Bab el-Mandeb Strait: Why the Red Sea passage is referred to as ‘Hormuz 2.0’
However, another waterway has also come into focus following recent tensions between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. That waterway is the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Gulf of Aden, south of the Arabian Peninsula, with the Red Sea. Like the Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb is one of the world’s busiest maritime chokepoints, carrying about 4.8 million barrels of oil per day, significant volumes of Qatari liquefied natural gas, and roughly 10–12% of global shipping traffic, or about 19,000 vessels each year.
Pentagon expands interceptor production after heavy demand from Israel, Ukraine
The Pentagon has launched a major effort to expand production of Patriot and THAAD interceptor missiles as the United States, Israel and other allies work to replenish air defense stockpiles depleted by years of conflict. The move comes after unprecedented demand for interceptor missiles driven by wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, highlighting the growing challenge of sustaining modern air defense systems. Israel has become one of the clearest examples of that challenge.
Dramatic change in Gaza strike policy
Israel’s defense establishment has updated its procedures for approving strikes in the Gaza Strip in recent days, following a decision made by the political leadership.

Gen. Eyal Zamir.

Literal, Eternal, And Unconditional: Bible Prophecy Begins And Ends With Israel
Imagine you open to the middle of John Grisham’s latest best-seller. Immediately you face unfamiliar names and locations. To make sense of the story, you flip to the end. But the ending seems more confusing than the middle. You slam the book shut in disgust. Grisham has really lost his touch, you conclude. But it illustrates why so many people have trouble with Bible prophecy. To understand prophecy, we should not start in the middle of the Book—with Ezekiel and Daniel—or at the end—with Revelation. No, we should begin at the beginning—with Genesis.
HEGSETH: U.S. Military Readiness At Highest Level Since World War II Despite Iran Strike Pause
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the American military remains at an unprecedented level of readiness despite President Donald Trump’s decision to postpone planned strikes against Iran. “The Department of Defense was prepared and ready, and remains ready, at levels not seen since World War II,” Hegseth said. “We are ready and prepared right now as well.”
Iran strikes U.S. base in Kuwait despite Trump’s diplomatic pause, as regional attacks multiply
Iran launched a drone attack against a US military base in Kuwait in the early hours of Tuesday, according to Arab media reports, in what could mark a shift in Tehran’s strategy after several days of comparative restraint. Until now, Iran had largely limited its retaliation to strikes following direct American attacks on Iranian territory. Tuesday’s reported strike came instead just days after President Trump halted a planned large-scale US offensive against Iran to give diplomacy a final opportunity.

These Fires Are The Worst Natural Disaster In The History Of Spokane And More Than 2 Million Acres Have Burned In Oregon
A tragedy of historic importance is occurring in the Northwest, yet it’s not getting nearly enough attention from mainstream media. 65,000 in the Spokane area forced to evacuate, many neighborhoods resemble war zones after voracious wildfires came ripping through them, 2,000,000 acres in the state of Oregon burned to the ground, etc.

UK government launches legal action to stop the release of data showing crimes committed by migrants
Centre for Migration Control is a think tank committed to controlling and reducing immigration to the UK. For a year, CMC has been locked in a battle with the Information Commissioner’s Office for the Ministry of Justice to release statistics on crimes committed by migrants for 2018 to 2024. In June, CMC finally won the battle, and the ICO ordered the MoJ to release the data. Now, the MoJ is taking legal action…

Trump claims Israel ‘very happy’ about Hamas disarmament deal, as Netanyahu indicates otherwise.
A statement from Netanyahu’s office said Israel demanded “full disarmament of Hamas, including removal of the weaponry from Gaza and complete demilitarization of the Strip as a condition for any process” of withdrawal. The statement added that the agreement does not include “a sufficient response to those demands.”
A Dangerous Deal: Trump’s Board of Peace and Hamas.
It’s disturbing that the new deal asserts that “no weapons shall be transferred or handed to Israel or non-Palestinian parties.” Also, the new roadmap’s conditioning of disarmament on Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Why should a terrorist organization that carried out the Oct 7, 2023 massacre in Israel be allowed to dictate the conditions of its own disarmament?
U.S. Virtually Out of Long-range Missiles. Army General: U.S. Can No Longer Defend Israel.
Army General Grynkewich, head of U.S. European Command, said he can no longer defend Israel from missile attacks without another Navy destroyer. Without that nearly $3 billion ship, he must choose between defending America, which he swore an oath to do, and defending Israel, which he did not swear an oath to do.
