This release is silly for a few reasons.  For one thing, the important breakthrough we had was based upon the structuring of light into helical light, not based upon building new types of receivers.  It's the transmitter that is key, obviously.

Secondly, it was NASA that tested the technology after it was shared with NASA (for some unknown amount of money, no doubt) by a company called Albedo which was somehow able to make the breakthrough, as I've said many times.

Tertiarily, the graph they have there implies that the range is limited to 8,000 meters, which is ridiculous even when considering only the public information about the NASA communications test, which demonstrated that high-bandwidth data could be sent through hundreds of miles of atmosphere.  If a LASER beam carrying data can be sent through hundreds of miles of atmosphere with so little distortion that high-resolution video can be relayed, it's a safe bet that we can beam any amount of power through more than 8,000 meters of atmosphere.  The other thing is that these DARPA publications are totally phony and are produced on a for-contract basis by a company in Hindustan.

2.5MJ in, 8.2MJ output.  They're continuing inertial confinement experiments but no magnetic confinement experiments.  What this suggests to me, quite strongly, is that they're not interested in peaceful applications such as energy generation but are only interested in enhancing thermonuclear weapons.  Hydrogen bombs are heavier and bulkier than they would probably like.  If you can recursively fuse and fission the same hydrogen over and over again, you can get quite a bit more punch out of a smaller amount of liquid hydrogen.  If one understood fusion well enough, they would probably be able to eliminate the fission triggers entirely.  Although interesting, this is not what I would spend money developing given the potential of kinetic energy weapons and given the fact that conventional nuclear weapons cannot be reliably made to penetrate missile defenses.  It would make a lot more sense to use my concept for photo-magnetic propulsion to accelerate the impactors to relativistic velocities using energy generated by intra-molecular recursive fusion combined with a thermoelectric converter.

This is a good example of how American research regressive rather than progressive.  They're dumping money into revamping old technologies which are bordering on obsolete.  It cuts against the basic philosophy of DARPA that it's better to invest small amounts of money in high-risk high-reward concepts.  It's come out over the past few years that DARPA is funding virtually nothing along these lines and is actually soliciting financial contributions from the public sector to finance their research projects in exchange for giving the commercial rights to the corporations which are willing to provide funding.  The only projects that tend to get funded are those which have some sort of dual commercial application.  There are a great many things which have literally no commercial application and are therefore unlikely to get funded.  What's more, DARPA is paying its engineers next to nothing compared to what engineers are paid in the private sector.  They also picked an interesting time to have a fusion breakthrough as they recently completed an expensive stockpile rejuvenation cycle (wherein the plutonium cores are swapped out every 25 years.)  Because of this, it's unlikely they'll be able to get the funding to build entirely novel, experimental thermonuclear weapons.  We're still functioning under a test ban, so it's unlikely for that reason alone.  We made nuclear weapons obsolete with robust missile defense.  It is completely irrational to invest more in "modernized" nuclear weapons.

I was thinking about the problem of handling brittle two-dimensional materials which are needed to build exquisite nano-electronic devices.  It is much more difficult to handle these materials than one might think without breaking them.  Thus, an interfacial material is needed which can electrostatically pick up the layers and deposit them in the correct place.  I believe this proposal will solve that problem.

At least Trump is pretending to try on this front, although he sounded to me to be less than serious in his Truth Social post in which he made a remark to the effect of "I wouldn't lie to you if the negotiations weren't going well," a hallmark of a liar.

Fantastically crooked things are going on and the British and continuing to move forward with plans to topple the Romanian government to allow for false-flag attacks to be made effective as a pretext for war.

In an unrelated story, our television news program, "60 Minutes" ran an anti-China story, which they generally refuse to do.  The board of directors fired the news director after she took a stance against Trump and 60 Minutes is, for the time being, going to be less anti-Trump and a bit more anti-China rather than running stories about Russia.  The episode included some disinformation concerning how one Chinese spy was caught, but it was old news.  The truth is that Chinese spies are extremely rarely caught in the United States and that when they are caught, they are immediately released and allowed to return to China.

Смотрел Ролик про Китай в Африке.
Деньги африканцам дают, но потом китайцы забирают все ресурсы. Вот такие глобалисты. Торговля в один конец.

"We are entering a new phase of globalization — one less defined by cooperation, and more by strategic self-interest," Fraser wrote. "Long-held assumptions are being challenged, not just by tariff announcements but by a deeper confidence shock. The near-term impact is already being felt, and the long-term trajectory is being rewritten in real time."

"If you're looking to markets for clarity, you might be a tad disappointed," Fraser wrote. "But if you're looking for signals, they're everywhere. Treasury yields rose even as equity markets wobbled. The U.S. dollar, typically a safe haven, has weakened at moments when it used to rally."

"That tells us something deeper is going on," she continued. "Investors aren't just pricing near-term risks; they're reevaluating the credibility of long-held certainties. It's showing up in how capital moves. Pensions and asset managers are tilting more towards Japan, India and parts of Europe. Hedge funds are being selective and didn't chase the April equity bounce. Sovereign wealth funds are diversifying more aggressively. Hedging against the dollar is now at levels we haven't seen in years."

Exactly correct.  We have a lot of military bases in Africa, but not much in the way of commercial activity.  The U.S. must now contend with a crisis shortage of rare earth elements because it failed to keep control over the African mines.  The situation is so desperate that the transmutation of the elements is being seriously considered as a possible solution.  I have proposals along these lines, but the utterance of the phrase, "The transmutation of the elements" conjures images of the Merlin and fantasy technologies.  With all of these resources, whether it be rare earths or petroleum, the resource will eventually be depleted.  Either we'll lose access because of war or we'll all, collectively lose access due to resource depletion.  They have no backup plan for contending with a situation in which there are 8 billion people but only enough resources to support 2 billion.

Having already achieved the objectives of efficiently converting electrons into photons and of being able to measure photons using other photons, I decided it was time to find a way to convert photons into electrons not only efficiently, but without forcing the photons to be absorbed by atomic orbitals and re-emitted, which is intrinsically inefficient.  This proposal describes how to accomplish this.  It is a boon not only for photovoltaic conversion efficiency, but its application, which took me a while to identify, is in enabling the efficient conversion of photons to electrons in the context of network interface cards.  Large data centers, if they want to download data a very high rate must parse the job into a series of smaller jobs and purposefully fragment the downloaded data between multiple servers if they want to download at the fastest possible rate.  This takes care of that problem as any single network interface would be able to make full use of the fiber-optic's potential with the remaining bottleneck being things like RAM speed and disk write speed.

This problem has been overlooked because solid-state drives usually form the ultimate bottleneck for individual nodes.  However, creating servers with huge numbers of network interface cards for no reason makes no fundamental sense and drives up costs, as does the use of that amount CAT-5 cable in data centers.

Beyond the data conversion application, this opens the door to remarkably efficient photovoltaics.  I wrote a paper in 2023 about how we could create efficient photovoltaics by mimicking natural photosynthesis, however that would only get us to about 88-92% efficiency.  With this, we could get it to 99.5%  It would also, naturally, have applications for photosensors, but I believe its best application is in making better network interface cards.  I'm sure people will find a variety of applications for it.

I have not heard anything from the journalist working on my story.  I've seen nothing published as of yet.  However, about 100 views per day continue to come through to an obscure page with text documents, so it leads me to think that there is a growing network of interest here.

[Sedwards33123]

No news as of yet.  They must have liked my memoir because six more people looked at it.  That may not sound like much, but it's hundreds of times more than the usual level of traffic.

This was written ahead of time and they got a tip-off about the timing of the attack.  It's very interesting that Trump is leaking intelligence about upcoming Israeli strikes.  That doesn't make it sound like he's an ally of Israel.

It seems difficult to believe that the strikes would be limited to hitting nuclear sites.  With or without the GBU-57, there's no way to destroy the nuclear facilities in Iran without using robust earth-penetrating tactical nuclear weapons.  Israel likely calculates that a series of strikes aimed at ending the regime there is less risky than a nuclear first strike.  There's no question that when they do this (quite soon) it will be the end of the regime.

Syria is out of the picture, Russia is busy with Ukraine and China doesn't give a damn about them (heard that a guy named Zhang will be taking over in China in the intermediate future; he has been suiciding Xi loyalists one at a time)

If Israel has to salt the earth so that no crops will ever grow again in Iran, that is what they will do to ensure the total capitulation of Iran.  Because of Trump's dishonesty, the United States may not get its fair share of oil deals on the Iranian oil sites as the U.K. has demonstrated more loyalty in the recent months.  We'll probably get some contracts, but BP will get more.  The new regime in Iran will answer to Israel and Israel is unlikely to dole out favors to the United States when the United States provides no support.

It's going to take four years to build this and it's going to cost a minimum of $175 Billion.  It's comprehensive and will be capable of bringing down anything anyone throws at us.  This sort of thing makes everyone nervous because it will once again open a window in which our weapons will work and our adversaries' weapons will not work, creating an incentive for us to press our advantage.  We had such an advantage between about 2011 and 2015 and history shows that we did not have the political will to exploit it.  With this, we'll be able to stop literally any attack.  They aren't getting into the details of how this will be done, but as I follow things rather closely I know precisely how it will be done.  When you can power a LASER which is located in orbit from the ground efficiently, it becomes possible to do a lot of things which couldn't be done before.  There's going to be a whole network of both ground and space-based LASERs.  Because we're dealing with helical light, not only is the power transfer very efficient, but even at low power levels, the light is capable of penetrating metallic objects and even reflective objects and, in some cases, vaporizing them.

A good example of a disinformation piece.  One of the giveaways was that they said something to imply that the material with which they were working included antimony, but MnBi₆Te₁₀ doesn't have antimony anywhere in it.  More than likely the article is AI-generated.

This is extremely concerning.  This could only have occurred if Trump's people allowed it.  The two Israeli embassy staffers were standing and talking to two other people who were not embassy staffers and the shooter targeted only the embassy staffers.  He didn't take their wallets.  This Rodriguez guy is exactly the sort of person the feds probably had their eye on for a while, so there's no way this could have happened if it weren't explicitly ordered to be allowed to play.

This comes only one day after Trump's people leaked Israel's war plans.  A member of Congress questioned Marco Rubio yesterday concerning that leak and he claimed to know nothing about it, but there is no question that this was a deliberate leak.  Trump is at war with Israel.  Trump has not been honest about his religious practices.
