@BNODesk THIS... This young doctors death was the point at which I realised that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was no ordinary virus. RIP Dr. Li Wenliang.

Spirit of the largest terror network on the planet is beginning to break. Iran International reports: Signs of economic collapse within the regime are showing. Low morale, financial strain, discontent and desertion spreading across all security and military forces. Notice was given on Friday that salaries had “run into problems” - the third time already this year that wages were heavily delayed. Many have since refused to attend pro-government gatherings, and major cities have reported low deployment of personnel. Retirees and most of the military have also not been paid for a second month in a row. Senior commanders accuse the IRGC of using the financial crisis at Sepah bank as an excuse to divert funds away from security forces into institutions tied to clerical institutions. Fears now sparked that individuals within the hierarchy of the regime are getting ready to cut and run. Many already have. If you don’t pay your security forces, who is going to protect you? We edge closer to the endgame. - Omid Djalili @omid9

@Aidan_Regan Really?? Try the French approach instead. Nuclear energy… Today data …. Germany, thanks to the Green Party, @europeangreens prefers COAL to nuclear energy 🤯🤯

There should be one overwhelming priority for the EU — financially and politically: Get the fuck off fossil fuels. The security hawks obsessing over a Russian invasion are a distraction. The focus should be a Green Energy revolution.

Uncompromising message in iv with Iranian foreign ministry spox here in Tehran after escalating strikes on energy targets across the region: - not the time for diplomacy - you can’t offer an olive branch to someone trying to behead you - Iran won’t stop until their enemies do

Saleh Mohammadi Mehdi Ghasemi Saeed Davoudi Murdered by the terrorist Islamic Republic occupying Iran for the "crime" of wanting to live in a free and democratic society.

The monsters! The terrorist Islamic Republic occupying Iran murdered 19-year-old wrestler Saleh Mohammadi on bogus charges. His only real crime was protesting against the Islamic Republic for a free Iran. There is nothing more evil than a Mullah. Exterminate them all.

❗️ Brussels is playing along with Ukraine. Their words are just for show and we expect nothing from them. Make no mistake: we will break the Ukrainian oil blockade ourselves.

Iran executed three protesters detained in January as part of the regime crackdown against protest movement during which 7,000-32,000 were killed @realDonaldTrump said a large number of protesters were not executed because he made threats against the Khamenei’s regime

@Toibin1 @tommchugh58 There’s an alternative…. But you won’t even consider it…. It’s called nuclear energy…. Try the French approach….

A view from inside Iran: Sky's @DominicWaghorn reports from one of Tehran's largest children’s wards. One mother told him her four-year-old daughter has brain injuries after she was hit by an airstrike and buried under rubble. 🔗 trib.al/RwBBDkC

"... Le Qatar produit 30 à 33% de l’hélium mondial en tant que sous-produit du traitement du gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) à Ras Laffan, qui abrite les plus grandes installations de production d’hélium sur Terre. Lorsque le blocus d’Ormuz a commencé et que des attaques ont frappé les infrastructures qataries, l’hélium a cessé de circuler. Les prix ont doublé sur les marchés. L’hélium possède une propriété qui rend cette crise structurellement différente du pétrole, des engrais ou de toute autre marchandise coincée derrière le détroit, il s’évapore en continu. Même dans des conteneurs scellés, l’hélium bout et s’échappe. La chaîne d’approvisionnement mondiale fonctionne avec un tampon d’environ 45 jours avant que les stocks existants disparaissent. On ne peut pas stocker l’hélium comme on stocke le pétrole brut dans des cavernes de sel ou le grain dans des silos. Si l’approvisionnement s’arrête pendant six semaines, le tampon disparaît, pas diminué, disparu, retourné dans l’atmosphère où il est trop diffus pour être économiquement recapturé. [...] Les machines IRM nécessitent de l’hélium liquide pour refroidir les aimants supraconducteurs à près du zéro absolu. Les hôpitaux ne peuvent pas substituer un autre gaz. Lorsque l’approvisionnement en hélium se resserre, la disponibilité des IRM diminue. Lors des pénuries précédentes, les hôpitaux ont rationné les machines. Une réduction soutenue d’un tiers de l’approvisionnement met en péril la capacité d’imagerie diagnostique dans tous les systèmes de santé qui dépendent de la résonance magnétique."

BREAKING: Everyone is watching the Strait of Hormuz for oil and fertilizer. Almost nobody has noticed that it is also shutting down MRI machines, semiconductor fabs, and the global aerospace supply chain. Helium. The second lightest element in the universe. No substitute exists for it. You cannot synthesize it. You cannot replace it. And roughly one-third of the world’s supply just went offline. Qatar produces 30 to 33 percent of global helium as a byproduct of LNG processing at Ras Laffan, home to the largest helium production facilities on Earth. When the Hormuz blockade triggered LNG force majeure declarations and attacks hit Qatari infrastructure, the helium stopped flowing with it. Prices have doubled in spot markets. And helium has a property that makes this crisis structurally different from oil, fertilizer, or any other commodity caught behind the strait. It evaporates. Continuously. Even in sealed containers, helium boils off. The global supply chain operates on roughly 45 days of buffer before existing inventory simply ceases to exist. You cannot stockpile helium the way you stockpile crude oil in salt caverns or grain in silos. If the supply stops for six weeks, the buffer is gone. Not depleted. Gone. Returned to the atmosphere where it is too diffuse to economically recapture. This is why the industries that depend on helium are facing a crisis that no financial instrument can solve. Semiconductor manufacturing requires ultra-pure helium for wafer cooling in lithography and for leak detection in sub-5-nanometre chip fabrication. TSMC, Samsung, and Intel cannot produce advanced processors without it. Every AI chip, every smartphone processor, every data centre GPU in the current generation traces its manufacturing lineage through a helium-cooled process. If fabs run dry, the production lines stop. Not slow. Stop. MRI machines require liquid helium to cool superconducting magnets to near absolute zero. Hospitals cannot substitute another gas. When helium supply tightens, MRI availability falls. During previous shortages, hospitals rationed scans. A sustained one-third supply cut puts diagnostic imaging capacity at risk across every healthcare system that depends on magnetic resonance. Aerospace depends on helium for purging rocket fuel systems, pressurising tanks, and testing for leaks in systems where failure means explosion. NASA, SpaceX, ULA, and every launch provider in the Western world runs on helium. Fibre optic cable manufacturing requires helium atmospheres. Quantum computing research requires helium-3 isotopes for cryogenic cooling. The US is the world’s largest helium producer and has some buffer capacity. Algeria and Russia produce meaningful volumes. Overland rerouting from Qatar through Oman and Saudi Arabia is theoretically possible but logistically slow and capacity-limited. None of these alternatives can replace one-third of global supply within the 45-day evaporation window that defines the crisis timeline. The same 21-mile strait that is starving the food system is now threatening the technological infrastructure of modern civilization. The fertilizer trapped behind Hormuz determines whether four billion people eat. The helium trapped behind Hormuz determines whether the chips powering the AI revolution get manufactured, whether cancer patients receive diagnostic scans, and whether rockets carrying communications satellites reach orbit. One chokepoint. Two invisible supply chains. Both irreplaceable. Both operating on biological or physical deadlines that no ceasefire retroactively extends. The world built petroleum reserves. It never built fertilizer reserves. It never built helium reserves either. The pattern keeps repeating. The lesson keeps being ignored. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

If Europe had expanded nuclear energy rather than stupidly phasing it out (looking at you, Germany), it could have closed down all coal plants by now, slashed gas imports, and cut emissions by an additional ~21%. Why didn't it do so? Ideology, that's why. Anti-nuclear greens have caused MORE harm to the climate than climate denialists. Analysis by @RogerPielkeJr. rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/how-europe-u…
