Atomic Energy’s death spiral has spawned a run to green power.  

But the toxic mineral lithium has become a critical pitfall…with clear ways around it that demand attention. 

 Humankind’s 400+ licensed large commercial reactors embody history’s most expensive technological failure.

Once hyped as “too cheap to meter,” just three “Peaceful Atom” plants have opened in the US since 1996, all of them very late and hugely over budget.  Four at Japan’s Fukushima blew up in 2011, with ever-escalating economic, ecological and biological costs.  Two in South Carolina are outright $9 billion failures.  Projects in Georgia (US), Finland, France and the UK have come with catastrophic delays, overruns and cancellations.  So have much-hyped Small Modular Reactors, and the taxpayer-funded idea of restarting nukes already dead.  

And in the post DeepSeek era, gargantuan projected power demands for Artificial Intelligence and crypto are coming back to Earth.  

In a genocidal war that has spiraled into a struggle for political survival, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and the global powers supporting him continue to sacrifice Palestinian lives for political gain.

 The sordid career of Israel's extremist National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, epitomizes this tragic reality.

As Israel expands conflicts in the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria, and resumes the genocide in Gaza, in part due to the Trump administration’s expressed desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza, questions remain about the status of Franklin County government investments in Israeli bonds.

There was a time, not too long ago, when Ohio State University (OSU) was truly a “State” school. If a young person from Ohio could get their high school diploma with a C+ average, had the financial means through help or loans, and the will to balance school and fun, they would have a good chance to earn a degree from Thee, and do so at the main campus.

The days of OSU students scraping by together in aging but cozy off-campus homes or rowhouses – drinking beer from $10 shared buckets at Mustards or Papa Johns to make sure everyone could pay rent, for instance – is slowly becoming a distant memory.

This is my quick summary of the JFK assassination document release. The biggest revalation is that CIA's Angleton was almost certainly using Oswald in some type of operation, but definite proof that he was under close scrutiny by Angleton himself over 4 years. Jefferson Morely explains that we now have a clear fact pattern that did not exist prior to this release.  Another important revelation is the story of CIA office Gary Underhill, who told family that he knew CIA agents involved, and that they knew he knew. He was suicided six months later. We can know read Schlesinger memo to JFK on how to reform the CIA. (This is a document that has absolutely nothing to do with national security but was redacted in full for 60 years)

There is much more than that in the files. There are also documents still missing, including the Johanedis files and Bill Harvey travel records. I believe, at this time, the 24,000 newly discovered FBI files on the assassination have not yet been released.

Here are several good links on a you tube discussion and links to articles at Jefferson Morley's JFKFACTS.SUBSTACK.COM.
