Mike Steger argues Trump's Iran strategy is really about reorganizing global relations to end neocon permanent-war dynamics, framing U.S.–Russia collaboration as the decisive pivot for ending perpetual war.
While media attention fixates on Iran, a broader strategic shift is unfolding as great powers act in their own sovereign interests, with Trump identifying Zelenskyy as the obstacle to peace and Russia naming Britain as the saboteur.
They rewrote your history. A suppressed 400-page manuscript — hidden for 230 years — reveals the true philosophical war behind the American Revolution. Charles Park traces the direct line from Leibniz through Logan and Franklin to the founding of the republic.
One week into President Trump's second term, America is witnessing a renaissance of innovation and progress. From groundbreaking advancements in missile defense technology to supersonic commercial flight breakthroughs, the nation is pushing boundaries across multiple fronts.
One week into President Trump's second term, America is witnessing a renaissance of innovation and progress. From groundbreaking advancements in missile defense technology to supersonic commercial flight breakthroughs, the nation is pushing boundaries across multiple fronts.
The administration's focus on scientific development and strategic initiatives is opening up unprecedented opportunities, especially for the younger generation.
With executive orders addressing critical issues like water management in California and a renewed emphasis on cutting-edge technologies such as AI, the economic landscape is rapidly evolving. These developments are not just reshaping America's future but are also challenging long-standing global power dynamics, promising a new era of American ingenuity and leadership.
On January 27th, President Trump issued an Executive Order outlining his specifications for building a system to defend America from ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles of all kinds.
"The United States will provide for the common defense of its citizens and the Nation by deploying and maintaining a next-generation missile defense shield. . . ."
EXECUTIVE ORDER
This is not just a weapons system. As Lyndon LaRouche, the originator of the concept, repeatedly explained back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, this project replaces the British Empire's "Mutually Assured Destruction" doctrine–a doctrine used to sow conflict and suppress scientific progress–with a new doctrine of Mutually Assured Survival.
Culturally, it replaces the mantra, "science is the source of all of our woes," with the declaration that "science is the unlimited source of the spreading improvement in everyone's lives." It is the basis for ending conflicts and turning potential adversaries into allies. Here are some of the more important considerations and effects:
On January 28th, Boom's experimental testbed aircraft flew beyond the speed of sound for the first time. In a few years, the company aims to build the first privately financed and developed commercial supersonic airliner, the much larger Overture aircraft. It will fly at about twice the speed of current jet airliners.
On January 20th, a Chinese company, DeepSeek, released its R1 AI model. While the model operates at similar levels of truthfulness to the latest models from Open AI, it uses only a fraction of the hardware and electricity required by the Open AI models. As David Sacks reported, there is also good reason to believe that DeepSeek "distilled" knowledge out of Open AI's models.
R1 features explicit steps at "reasoning out" a solution to a problem, and continuous challenges to each step along the way—sort of an internal dialogue. Using this self-reflexive process, the model is able to use much smaller numbers (thus requiring fewer resources) in calculating a result of similar accuracy to that of the Open AI models.
A few days later, Alibaba released its own model, Qwen2.5-Max, with similar capabilities and efficiency as the R1 model.
DeepSeek has released the code under a very free MIT license, so all of the other AI models will soon incorporate similar approaches. We probably will not require the huge energy commitment for AI that had been projected from previous models. Also, the free license, and low power and equipment requirements will allow the rapid spread of AI technologies to small businesses and even poor countries. President Trump praised the reduction in resources and energy required as a positive step forward, but also a wake-up call to American developers.
On Inauguration Day, President Trump issued the following Executive Order to stop the diversion of Northern California water from its originally intended destination of Southern California. Government exists to serve and protect the American people, not oligarchs and their "natural" playgrounds.

Real science involves better understanding and using nature and its principles for the benefit of humanity. But in its efforts to kill science, the British Empire has promoted fraud to the extent that an honest researcher can hardly deal with the "Temples of Science." We often disagree with the British publications, Nature and Nature.com. But, in this article, Nature usefully suggests that 400,000 fraudulent "research papers" were printed between 2020 and 2022.

After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?
There's no resource crisis — only a technology crisis. The critical minerals challenge proves what counts as a "resource" is defined by our technology, not nature.
The U.S. is exposed on critical minerals — not just in the ground, but in how we process them. Ben Deniston on the higher-energy technologies that could close that gap for good.
The universe isn't a machine. Bruce Director makes the case that consciousness, creativity, and Plato are coming back to science — and why that matters for everything.
Trump lost the Supreme Court tariff ruling—and immediately hit back with new tariffs. But the real story is bigger: America's productive economy has been hollowed out, and tariffs are the way back.
