BANGKOK, Thailand -- President Donald Trump is miffed that the U.S. is aced-out by China in processing rare earths which are especially prized for making strategic-use magnets.

Those magnets are critical to create high-tech weaponry and equipment used by military and aerospace industries, including for U.S. warplanes.

China hopes to strengthen its near-monopoly over the world's military-grade processed dysprosium, terbium, and other rare earth elements by securing rebel-held mines in Southeast Asia's war-torn Myanmar while boosting support for its coup-installed military dictatorship.

"China intelligently went in and they sort of took a monopoly of the world’s magnets," Mr. Trump told reporters on August 25 while discussing tariffs.

"Nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago, ‘let’s all do magnets.’

"It'll take us probably a year to have them. We’re heavy into the world of magnets now, only from a national security standpoint."

A "come-to-Jesus moment" refers to a pivotal point in someone's life when they confront an important truth or realization, often leading to significant personal change or a decision. This phrase can be used in both religious and secular contexts to describe moments of clarity or intervention.

While the initial reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk was for the political right to blame the left, it is possible that his assassination will unite deep thinking Americans against Israel.

This author is not the only Conspiracy Realist who immediately questioned the official story, as it is developing. Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Max Blumenthal, Larry C. Johnson, Philip Girardi, George Galloway, Steve Bannon, Michael Savage and many others are demanding real answers. In general these people do not trust the government under Trump or Biden. We will now witness the effectiveness American law enforcement represented by the trio of Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino.

The background to the assassination will introduce to the American public many questions about Israel's control over the American government.

Of all the terrible people Orange King Trump chose to help him destroy America, I thought, and have written, that RFK Jr was the least of our problems. I agree with Kennedy that America's population is not healthy. Living in Thailand reinforces that observation. As a Pharmacist (now retired) I am very aware that Americans are over medicated and overweight. Of particular concern are antidepressants, ADHD meds, opiods, and cholesterol lowering statins. Kennedy has correctly (and clumsily) identified that Americans suffer disproportionately from autoimmune diseases.

Donald Trump has torched atomic power’s last illusion of credible regulation. He’s destroyed the last shreds of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, exponentially raising the likelihood of an apocalyptic radioactive disaster while escalating America’s transition to energy fascism. His nuclear boosterism has been joined by the core of the Democratic Party, including California’s Governor Gavin Newsom among many others.

But the low-cost zero-carbon tsunami of green Solartopian technology may yet prove unstoppable in the marketplace.

For the first time in US history, a president has fired a sitting NRC commissioner. Another has resigned. A DOGE flunky with zero nuclear expertise has decimated the NRC’s technical support staff.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;

And he will never advance beyond the emotional control of a Small Child;

And the government will rest on His shoulders;

For the lawmakers shall become as Court Jesters;

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Eternal Father, Prince of Peace!

For He shall multiply war spending many fold, create a personal army, blow up random victims in the far reaches of the Earth, normalize genocide, return unto the War Department its proper name, and establish the Holy Deployment of the Red Horseman of nuclear tactical strike;

And He shall say unto His disciples:

“If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. Then you will know habitual lying and habitual lying will set you free.”

But they shall not hear, as all Life will have vanished from the land.

One needs only to examine the actions and rhetoric of the Israeli government to fully appreciate the profound significance of the solidarity flotillas bound for Gaza. As the latest and most significant of these efforts, the Global Solidarity Flotilla sets sail, Israel's hostile discourse has intensified, articulated most forcefully by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
