🇪🇺 Election results for the European Parliament show a sharp rise in the popularity of right-wing parties:
🇫🇷 Marine Le Pen's National Rally received 32-33% of the votes in France. Macron's party, Renaissance, fell far behind, receiving half as many votes.
🇦🇹 In Austria, the Eurosceptic and anti-war Freedom Party took first place with 29%. Parliamentary elections are also approaching there, where the Freedom Party may come to power.
🇩🇪 Meanwhile, Alternative for Germany managed to secure around 16%, surpassing the Social Democrats who got 14%. In the former East Germany, Alternative for Germany even took first place with 27%.
▪️ For Scholz's party, the results are the worst in its history. The Greens also took a significant hit—down from 21% in 2019 to 12% now. This reflects the crisis with real incomes falling to 2016 levels, the deindustrialization of the country, and the formation of a "rust belt" along the Rhine.
▪️ On the day of the vote, the director of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange—one of the largest in Europe—noted that Germany is transforming from a developed country to a developing one. At this rate, Germany's quality of life is quickly deteriorating to the level of third-world countries.
ℹ️ The new party of Sarah Wagenknecht, the non-systemic left, will receive its 6% and six seats in the European Parliament. In Belgium, Vlaams Belang—the Flemish nationalists and Eurosceptics—took 21%. The worst nightmare of the Eurocracy is coming true.

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.
