The "Midnight Rockets" were not myths or isolated incidents—they were deliberate, engineered releases of radioactive gas from the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio, sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Energy during and after the Cold War. Declassified documents from 1985 confirm that technetium-99 and uranium hexafluoride were routinely vented into the atmosphere through a 164-foot exhaust system known as the Tall Stack, with minimal filtration and ineffective monitoring. By 1994, government data showed that nearly 86% of airborne radioactive emissions at the site came from this process. Decades later, a federal whistleblower lawsuit and independent environmental testing in 2023 revealed off-site contamination. The pattern of exposure matches prevailing wind data, confirming that the so-called "Midnight Rockets" silently blanketed communities in radioactive fallout for years.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu persistently declares his ambition to "change the face of the Middle East". Yet, his repeated assertions seem to clash with the unfolding reality on the ground.

 Netanyahu's opportunistic relationship with language is now proving detrimental to his country. The Israeli leader undoubtedly grasps fundamental marketing principles, particularly the power of strong branding and consistent messaging. However, for any product to succeed over time, clever branding alone is insufficient; the product itself must live up to at least a minimum degree of expectation.

 Netanyahu's "product," however, has proven utterly defective, yet the 75-year-old Israeli Prime Minister stubbornly refuses to abandon his outdated marketing techniques.

 But what exactly is Netanyahu selling?

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thailand's embarrassed and disgraced Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra resisted demands on June 25 that she resign, shrugging off warnings by politicians, analysts and the media of a possible military coup after she criticized a Royal Thai Army commander during a leaked phone call with Cambodia's de facto leader Hun Sen.

"Analysts said another coup would create more problems than it would solve. It would be a disaster for the country, which has still not fully recovered from the consequences of the previous coup in 2014," the conservative Bangkok Post warned in a June 20 editorial.

"Despite assurances from the army chief about protecting democracy, concerns are mounting over a possible military intervention," Bloomberg news reported on June 20.

Ms. Paetongtarn faces a no confidence vote in parliament on July 3, and a hearing at the Constitutional Court on July 8 inquiring into her leaked conversation with Hun Sen.

Either action could end her prime ministry.
