War and Lenin in the 21st century, part 4
By Gary Wilson
The Cold War was a class war between two irreconcilable social systems — imperialist capitalism and socialism. It was called cold because there wasn’t an outright military war. In form, it’s more like what today is called a hybrid war, including extensive covert operations, economic sanctions, cyber warfare, and heavy propaganda. The current economic, diplomatic, political, and military conflict between the United States and China is often called the “new Cold War.”

Why not an orange or what was lost again during localization
The first case of Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies (Gyakuten Saiban 5) greets us with the mummy Apollo (Odoroki Hosuke), a panicking Athena (Kizuki Kokone) and the defendant Juniper Woods (Shinobu Morizumi), who treats Athena to an orange to calm her nerves and wish her strength.
What if I told you that there is no orange at all?
これ・・・・差し入れ持ってきたの。 うちの畑で取れた子なんだ。
kore sashiire motte kita no. Uchi no hata de toreta kona nda.
I brought this as a gift. It's from my garden.
あ、ありがとう! えーっと、これはイヨカンかな?
a, arigatō! E ̄ tto, koreha iyokan ka na?
Oh, thank you! Um, is this Iyokan?
うん。・・・・おばあちゃんが言ってたの。
un. O bāchan ga itteta no.
Yeah. ...Grandma told me.
イヨカン食べると、 “いい予感”なんだって。
iyokan taberu to, “ī yokan”na n datte.
Apparently, if you eat iyokan, you get a good feeling.
(やば。わたし、なんでイヨカンを にぎりしめて涙ぐんでるんだろ)
(yaba. Watashi, nande iyo kan o nigirishimete namidagun deru ndaro)
(Oh no! Why am I clutching an iyokan and crying?)
Stop. Iyokan? A good feeling? Let's figure it out.
The iyokan (伊予柑 - Citrus × iyo), also known as anadomikan (��門みかん) and Gokaku no Iyokan, is a Japanese citrus fruit, similar in appearance to a mandarin orange.
The name "Iyo" was taken from the ancient name of a place in Ehime Prefecture, the Iyo province.
The flesh is slightly sour and more bitter than an orange, but sweeter than a grapefruit.
There is a variation grown into a pentagon shape to promote good luck also giving it another nickname, Gokaku no Iyokan, which translates into "Pentagonal Iyokan"
(which is also very similar to the expression 合格 [goukaku] — to meet the requirements;
試験に合格する. [shiken ni goukaku suru] — to pass (to endure) an exam;)
And what kind of "good feelings" are these?
In Japan, the citrus can be seen during springtime as a seasonal KitKat flavor with messages of "good luck" to students studying for exams on each packet. The name "iyokan" is also a near-homophone for "good feeling" in Japanese, and is used as such in its marketing.
“いい予感”
いい — good, beautiful; kind
予感 (よかん) [yokan] - presentiment; premonition
好感 [koukan] — a good feeling; kind feelings, disposition, sympathy;
___________________________________________
I am not surprised that the original name was lost (even the translator makes an orange out of this word). Although it is a hybrid of tangerine...
The localization successfully changed the meaning of the fruit, adjusting it to an orange. Still, the meaning of orange in Western culture varies - "fertility", "prosperity", "longevity", "strength" etc.
Although, it was possible to leave Juniper's grandmother Japanese, especially considering that the granddaughter learned the meaning of citrus from her. Well, that's my personal opinion.
___________________________________________
Dictionaries and forums helped me again, please don't scold me for shortcomings and mistakes. Just point it out

On October 10, 2018, Tyndall Air Force Base on the Gulf of Mexico—a pillar of American air superiority—found itself under aerial attack. Hurricane Michael, first spotted as a Category 2 storm off the Florida coast, unexpectedly hulked up to a Category 5. Sustained winds of 155 miles per hour whipped into the base, flinging power poles, flipping F-22s, and totaling more than 200 buildings. The sole saving grace: Despite sitting on a peninsula, Tyndall avoided flood damage. Michael’s 9-to-14-foot storm surge swamped other parts of Florida. Tyndall’s main defense was luck.
That $5 billion disaster at Tyndall was just one of a mounting number of extreme-weather events that convinced the US Department of Defense that it needed new ideas to protect the 1,700 coastal bases it’s responsible for globally. As hurricanes Helene and Milton have just shown, beachfront residents face compounding threats from climate change, and the Pentagon is no exception. Rising oceans are chewing away the shore. Stronger storms are more capable of flooding land.
In response, Tyndall will later this month test a new way to protect shorelines from intensified waves and storm surges: a prototype artificial reef, designed by a team led by Rutgers University scientists. The 50-meter-wide array, made up of three chevron-shaped structures each weighing about 46,000 pounds, can take 70 percent of the oomph out of waves, according to tests. But this isn’t your grandaddy’s seawall. It’s specifically designed to be colonized by oysters, some of nature’s most effective wave-killers.
If researchers can optimize these creatures to work in tandem with new artificial structures placed at sea, they believe the resulting barriers can take 90 percent of the energy out of waves. David Bushek, who directs the Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory at Rutgers, swears he’s not hoping for a megastorm to come and show what his team’s unit is made of. But he’s not not hoping for one. “Models are always imperfect. They’re always a replica of something,” he says. “They’re not the real thing.”
The project is one of three being developed under a $67.6 million program launched by the US government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa. Cheekily called Reefense, the initiative is the Pentagon’s effort to test if “hybrid” reefs, combining manmade structures with oysters or corals, can perform as well as a good ol’ seawall. Darpa chose three research teams, all led by US universities, in 2022. After two years of intensive research and development, their prototypes are starting to go into the water, with Rutgers’ first up.
Today, the Pentagon protects its coastal assets much as civilians do: by hardening them. Common approaches involve armoring the shore with retaining walls or arranging heavy objects, like rocks or concrete blocks, in long rows. But hardscape structures come with tradeoffs. They deflect rather than absorb wave energy, so protecting one’s own shoreline means exposing someone else’s. They’re also static: As sea levels rise and storms get stronger, it’s getting easier for water to surmount these structures. This wears them down faster and demands constant, expensive repairs.
In recent decades, a new idea has emerged: using nature as infrastructure. Restoring coastal habitats like marshes and mangroves, it turns out, helps hold off waves and storms. “Instead of armoring, you’re using nature’s natural capacity to absorb wave energy,” says Donna Marie Bilkovic, a professor at the Virginia Institute for Marine Science. Darpa is particularly interested in two creatures whose numbers have been decimated by humans but which are terrific wave-breakers when allowed to thrive: oysters and corals.
Oysters are effective wave-killers because of how they grow. The bivalves pile onto each other in large, sturdy mounds. The resulting structure, unlike a smooth seawall, is replete with nooks, crannies, and convolutions. When a wave strikes, its energy gets diffused into these gaps, and further spent on the jagged, complex surfaces of the oysters. Also unlike a seawall, an oyster wall can grow. Oysters have been shown to be capable of building vertically at a rate that matches sea-level rise—which suggests they’ll retain some protective value against higher tides and stronger storms.
Today hundreds of human-tended oyster reefs, particularly on America’s Atlantic coast, use these principles to protect the shore. They take diverse approaches; some look much like natural reefs, while others have an artificial component. Some cultivate oysters for food, with coastal protection a nice co-benefit; others are built specifically to preserve shorelines. What’s missing amid all this experimentation, says Bilkovic, is systematic performance data—the kind that could validate which approaches are most effective and cost-effective. “Right now the innovation is outpacing the science,” she says. “We need to have some type of systematic monitoring of projects, so we can better understand where the techniques work the best. There just isn’t funding, frankly.”
Rather than wait for the data needed to engineer the perfect reef, Darpa wants to rapidly innovate them through a burst of R&D. Reefense has given awardees five years to deploy hybrid reefs that take up to 90 percent of the energy out of waves, without costing significantly more than traditional solutions. The manmade component should block waves immediately. But it should be quickly enhanced by organisms that build, in months or years, a living structure that would take nature decades.
The Rutgers team has built its prototype out of 788 interlocked concrete modules, each 2 feet wide and ranging in height from 1 to 2 feet tall. They have a scalloped appearance, with shelves jutting in all directions. Internally, all these shelves are connected by holes.
What this means is that when a wave strikes this structure, it smashes into the internal geometry, swirls around, and exits with less energy. This effect alone weakens the wave by 70 percent, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers, which tested a scale model in a wave simulator in Mississippi. But the effect should only improve as oysters colonize the structure. Bushek and his team have tried to design the shelves with the right hardness, texture, and shading to entice them.
But the reef’s value would be diminished if, say, disease were to wipe the mollusks out. This is why Darpa has tasked Rutgers with also engineering oysters resistant to dermo, a protozoan that’s dogged Atlantic oysters for decades. Darpa prohibited them using genetic-modification techniques. But thanks to recent advances in genomics, the Rutgers team can rapidly identify individual oysters with disease-resistant traits. It exposes these oysters to dermo in a lab, and crossbreeds the survivors, producing hardier mollusks. Traditionally it takes about three years to breed a generation of oysters for better disease resistance; Bushek says his team has done it in one.
Oysters may suit the DoD’s needs in temperate waters, but for bases in tropical climates, it’s coral that builds the best seawalls. Hawaii, for instance, enjoys the protection of “fringing” coral reefs that extend offshore for hundreds of yards in a gentle slope along the seabed. The colossal, complex, and porous character of this surface exhausts wave energy over long distances, says Ben Jones, an oceanographer for the Applied Research Laboratory at the University of Hawaii—and head of the university’s Reefense project. He said it’s not unusual to see ocean swells of 6 to 8 feet way offshore, while the water at the seashore laps gently.
Inspired by this effect, Jones and a team of researchers are designing an array that they’ll deploy near a US Marine Corps base in Oahu whose shoreline is rapidly receding. While the final design isn’t set yet, the broad strokes are: It will feature two 50-meter-wide barriers laid in rows, backed by 20 pyramid-like obstacles. All of these are hollow, thin-walled structures with sloping profiles and lots of big holes. Waves that crash into them will lose energy by crawling up the sides, but two design aspects of the structure—the width of the holes and the thinness of the walls—will generate turbulence in the water, causing it to spin off more energy as heat.
In the team’s full vision, the units are bolstered by about a thousand small coral colonies. Jones’ group plans to cover the structures with concrete modules that are about 20 inches in diameter. These have grooves and crevices that offer perfect shelters for coral larvae. The team will initially implant them with lab-bred coral. But they’re also experimenting with enticements, like light and sound, that help attract coral larvae from the wild—the better to build a wall that nature, not the Pentagon, will tend.
A third Reefense team, led by scientists at the University of Miami, takes its inspiration from a different sort of coral. Its design has a three-tiered structure. The foundation is made of long, hexagonal logs punctured with large holes; atop it is a dense layer with smaller holes—“imagine a sponge made of concrete,” says Andrew Baker, director of the university’s Coral Reef Futures Lab and the Reefense team lead.
The team thinks these artificial components will soak up plenty of wave energy—but it’s a crest of elkhorn coral at the top that will finish the job. Native to Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, elkhorn like to build dense reefs in shallow-water areas with high-intensity waves. They don’t mind getting whacked by water because it helps them harvest food; this whacking keeps wave energy from getting to shore.
Disease has ravaged Florida’s elkhorn populations in recent decades, and now ocean heat waves are dealing further damage. But their critical condition has also motivated policymakers to pursue options to save this iconic state species—including Baker’s, which is to develop an elkhorn more rugged against disease, higher temperatures, and nastier waves. Under Reefense, Baker says, his lab has developed elkhorn with 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius more heat tolerance than their ancestors. They also claim to have boosted the heat thresholds of symbiotic algae—an existentially important occupant of any healthy reef—and cross-bred local elkhorn with those from Honduras, where reefs have mysteriously withstood scorching waters.
An unexpected permitting issue, though, will force the Miami team to exit Reefense in 2025, without building the test unit it hoped to deploy near a Florida naval base. The federal permitting authority wanted a pot of money set aside to uninstall the structure if needed; Darpa felt it couldn’t do that in a timely way, according to Baker. (Darpa told WIRED every Reefense project has unique permitting challenges, so the Miami team’s fate doesn’t necessarily speak to anything broader. Representatives for the other two Reefense projects said Baker’s issue hasn’t come up for them.)
Though his team’s work with Reefense is coming to a premature end, Baker says, he’s confident their innovations will get deployed elsewhere. He’s been working with Key Biscayne, an island village near Miami whose shorelines have been chewed up by storms. Roland Samimy, the village’s chief resilience and sustainability officer, says they spend millions of dollars every few years importing sand for their rapidly receding beaches. He’s eager to see if a hybrid structure, like the University of Miami design, could offer protection at far lower cost. “People are realizing their manmade structures aren’t as resilient as nature is,” he says.
By no means is Darpa the only one experimenting in these areas. Around the world, there are efforts tackling various pieces of the puzzle, like breeding coral for greater heat resistance, or combining coral and oysters with artificial reefs, or designing low-carbon concrete that makes building these structures less environmentally damaging. Bilkovic, of the Virginia Institute for Marine Science, says Reefense will be a success if it demonstrates better ways of doing things than the prevailing methods—and has the data to back this up. “I’m looking forward to seeing what their findings are,” she says. “They’re systematically assessing the effectiveness of the project. Those lessons learned can be translated to other areas, and if the techniques are effective and work well, they can easily be translated to other regions.”
As for Darpa, though the Reefense prototypes are just starting to go in the water, the work is just beginning. All of these first-generation units will be scrutinized—both by the research teams and independent government auditors—to see whether their real-world performance matches what was in the models. Reefense is scheduled to conclude with a final report to the DoD in 2027. It won’t have a “winner” per se; as the Pentagon has bases around the world, it’s likely these three projects will all produce learnings that are relevant elsewhere.
Although their client has the largest military budget in the world, the three Reefense teams have been asked to keep an eye on the economics. Darpa has asked that project costs “not greatly exceed” those of conventional solutions, and tasked government monitors with checking the teams’ math. Catherine Campbell, Reefense’s program manager at Darpa, says affordability doesn’t just make it more likely the Pentagon will employ the technology—but that civilians can, too.
“This isn’t something bespoke for the military … we need to be in line with those kinds of cost metrics [in the civilian sector],” Campbell said in an email. “And that gives it potential for commercialization.”

NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg confirmed in September that Russia invaded Ukraine to prevent NATO expansion:
- This is his prerogative. If you argue NATO provoked the war, then you are a "Russian propagandist" who "legitimises" the invasion and must be censored and cancelled
- For context: In 1990 and 1994, NATO countries signed agreements with Russia promising indivisible security and ending the dividing lines in Europe. In 1997, the NATO-Russia Founding Act committed NATO to not place permanent troops in the new member states.
All of these agreements have been breached.
In 1992, a Pentagon memo was leaked to the NY Times and WaPo.
The document basically said that the U.S. should stay No.1 and prevent the reemergence of any rivals like Russia, Germany, China or Iran.
Interestingly, even Biden condemned this imperialist ambition!
"Biden condemned the document as a radical assertion of American hegemony — ‘literally a Pax Americana.’"
But then he supported jihadist war in Syria, Neo-Nazi war in Ukraine, hybrid war on China etc.
Under Putin, the Russian economy grew a staggering 1000% between 2000 and 2013.
So, guess what happened in 2014?
A color revolution in Ukraine by the US, followed by sanctions on Russia etc. etc.
Sabotaging others to stay No.1 is a key strategy of the American Empire.

Specfolcats are a creature I made, they are a hose cat hybrid but from space they’re beautiful majestic creatures that come from exploding stars,they are a rare find but when you do find one becoming friends with it would be in your best interest as they can grant the wishes for those it trusts. They are playful and very fun to be around and can be tamed easily.
This is a open species feel free to use Specfolcats as much as you want and however you want I only ask you to tag me if you do I want to see what you do to them.
Traits
They have the strong body of a horse with the head and fur of cats,they are eyeless and use echolocation to “see” and they have a very strong scenes of smell and can hear very far. they come in a big range of unique colours, blue purple and pink are the most common but they can be any colour. Their fur patterns are mostly a pentagon pattern with speckled dots that mimic a starry sky all of their spots and patterns glow in the dark as well as the inside of their mouth and tongues. They are usually freakishly tall and big.

HELLO MY FAV WRITER ON TUMBLR
Okay so recently I've been rewatching ATLA on Netflix and then I had to think about which element the ptg members would bend and I have no one to discuss this with djsjdj so if you have thoughts on that please feel free to drop them omg
Have a good day 🤍
omggg this is so fun tysm for sharing this with me (yes, i still obsess over ATLA in the year of our lord 2023 but it's just sO GOOD)
ANYWAY bc i always discuss everything with my bestie this too has been thoroughly discussed with her so i'll include both my and some of her takes under the cut~
Hui
for hui I was thinking either fire or water--fire because of the warmth and light it can be connotated with; lighting up a candle or the fireplace, warming up a cup of tea, literally bringing light into the darkness. water because I can picture him focusing on healing since he is someone who is very keen on helping and supporting others.
Jinho
i said fire for him too and then my friend said she could see him focusing on lightning and i felt that was so fitting! since it is a bending technique that required a lot of precision and skill it just felt like such a good match. he'd take bending very seriously and work really hard to hone his skills. wouldn't really use his bending skills much for goofing around or mundane things.
Hongseok
my bestie said earth and i also thought of earth too but somehow he is just very water bender shaped to me--maybe because i associate him with the color blue
Shinwon
fire--once again it may be due to color schemes (shinwon is v much orange to me) but i can also just see it well--him playing around with the flames or using bending for his daily life, idk heating up ramen or warming up his cold feet
Changgu
my friend said earth and i can see that very much! my take was sand bending which is like hybrid earth bending so p much the same direction. I just thought it was fitting since it's a little bit more light footed
Yanan
maybe all the memes of him burning down cube have gotten to me bc i could rlly rlly see fire. air would be fitting too though imo bestie said water bending and perhaps even stuff like blood bending too fhdshfkjdhs
Yuto
i had initially planned to stick to the main 4 elements but yuto just immediately screamed metal bending to me, i couldn't settle for anything else my bestie said water which would have also been my first choice among the classic 4 elements
Hyunggu
my first instinct was fire or air and then my friend said how he'd probably constantly play around with those air balls the way aang did and idk just a lot of bouncing around and puffing himself up and. that's just so hyunggu. he's definitely an air bender.
Wooseok
once again here with hybrid bending bc my take is mud bending fhsdhfkjs though bestie said water/ice and i could see that too
also because we talked abt this topic sm we obvsly also discussed who'd have avatar potential and pls don't call me biased but i'm so stuck on avatar shinwon now. like? he just accidentally stumbles into it all but ppl seem to rely on him so ofc he doesn't back out or run away and goes through with it bc he just is like that and then perhaps the other members are there to teach him bending and support him and he'd probably grow really attached to them. at first he went along with being the avatar because he wanted to help/didn't want to disappoint anyone but as time passes he just wants to be with them and make them proud by getting better but also support and help them too (imagine him wanting to learn healing from hui but he's having a hard time with it so hui would ask why he wants to learn it in the first place and sw would be like "so someone can heal you too when you're hurt") ...yeah maybe i am too emotional about shinwon and why he wanted to be in ptg haha
anyway these are my and my besties thoughts on pentagon ATLA AU thank you for the ask<3
Masterlist
#srsly tysm it was sm fun to discuss this hehe#ask.kebbi#pentagon headcanons#pentagon scenarios#kebbis.writing#requested#i mean it's not rlly a request but#yanno

Spy probes of an extraterrestrial origin have been coming to this planet for millennia,but since the very beginning of our space program NASA and the Pentagon have kept it secret after every mission and probes sent to investigate in our orbits and the moon as well.We are all aware of the black night probe that has been in orbit for ages as well as 14 other similar craft currently in orbit believe to be of the same origin.This particular one looking like a sea urchin has been with us for many years of an unknown origin no country has ever claimed to be the creator ,so naturally we assume it to be of an extraterrestrial origin.We only hear from our government the same old story that being these crafts being space debris from previous attempts to put in orbits ,old and discontinued rockets and satellites that never burned in reentry.Lies and more lies ,to cover up their ignorance and fear of approaching such probes.Hundreds of attempts failed after being warned by galactic forces .As of the end of last year ,the Pentagon put out reports claiming that to this very day they have no idea what this renamed UAP phenomena really is. As I sip my brandy by the fire ,I can’t help chuckle of such obscene and pervasive nature of those hybrid humans running the show.They do believe we are all sheep.But the reality is that millions of us know better than to believe their smoke and mirrors charade.It is pathetic and sad to see their agents running like chickens with no head collecting greys and their saucers,threatening like mafia cartels those witnesses in the name of national security even when they are in Brazil,France,and other countries and continents that they have no jurisdiction whatsoever.Sad indeed. Well,enough said.Do your homework and see for yourself .Words and ufo artwork by SergioGuyman Proust.

Just so that you all know ,the truth is no longer out there ,but already here,yes they are here indeed.Three major alien races are here,infiltrated and doing their job ,by spying on us an the planet,constantly abducting and taking selected species from our flora and fauna to seed other planet with a similar atmosphere. Yes ,already cats and dogs and many other species that we have domesticated,sheep,chickens,cows ,horses rabbits, among the many .We have to stop behaving as if we didn’t know,many have seen cattle and horses being taken up by blue and green laser beams as well as humans. Yes ,they are indeed creating hybrid embryos outside the female bodies and also allowing for alien embryos to develop in women's wombs.You all know this already.Human cloning is advancing at an accelerated pace.Behind our very backs with the aid of extraterrestrial races.Here on Earth they make us believe is all Science Fiction ,with movies created in Hollywood with the approval from the Pentagon and in some cases from the goverment . Well,you see these days they are all in cahoots , well ,actually they have been at it since the late thirties.Just think of how at the end our goverment allow for Nazi scientist to create and run our space program,no secret there. If you wonder why ,well ,because the Nazis have had contact wit extraterestrial races before the US did.Indeed they did.The rabbit hole is actually more like a wormhole Einstein knew it as well. Tesla, well , there's a Genius that had contact with two races of exraterrestrials , so our dear goverment had him destroyed a sad but true story, died alone and pennyless, the goverment agencies burned his lab and stole everything, wonder why? Haaa! Well,aliens have been running the show for ages.But the charades must continue to run so ,we still point our radiotelescopes looking for signals from little green men! What a joke!What a pitiful joke! Remember we are just on little planet within a solar system as alien as Mars ,Saturn and Pluto dancing in orbits like trillions of other planets .We are aliens too never forget it !We are not so special as scientist keep drilling it into our brains ,There are indeed bigger and better Earths than this one .There are indeed out there but for now we already know of 57 alien races living and visiting us. NASA will never agree to a complete disclosure simply because they are the front cartel running the show and can't reveal the truth they already know. Think how for years the government runs with same disgusting narrative of national security and we poor and lowly citizens will panic if the truth is revealed hahaha. You see my friends ,in truth they will panic if they lose control over us citizens.That can’t never be allowed.Words by Sergio GuymanProust.

🇺🇸The U.S. War Machine: Congress Sidelines Itself, the Empire Marches On (for now)
Buried beneath the grandiose slogan of “democracy”: the US hasn’t declared war since World War II. Congress, the body constitutionally mandated to oversee such vital decisions, has been relegated to a cheerleading squad while the executive branch wields unchecked power like an emperor commanding legions.
This is imperial fiat masquerading as consent of the governed. From Vietnam to Iraq, Libya to Syria, the U.S. war machine roars on, fueled not by congressional debate but by rubber-stamped resolutions, appropriations, and the all-too-familiar "Authorizations for Use of Military Force". These legal fig leaves allow the White House to bomb, invade, and occupy without a whisper of accountability.
Let’s be blunt: Congress sold its soul. Since World War II, it has surrendered its constitutional prerogative to declare war, instead passing vague resolutions that grant presidents a blank check to wage war wherever and whenever they see fit. The result? Endless wars with no rational objectives, no exit strategies, and no accountability.
And what happens to the trillions of dollars funneled into these wars? Enter the military-industrial complex, the world’s most sophisticated money-laundering operation. These wars are about enriching defense contractors, lobbyists, and Pentagon officials who shuffle through the revolving door between government and industry. From Lockheed Martin to Raytheon, the same corporations profiting off the carnage also fund think tanks and political campaigns to keep the war machine running.
While the bombs fall, contracts worth billions flow into the coffers of weapons manufacturers. A significant chunk is then laundered back into DC, disguised as campaign contributions or lucrative speaking gigs. The Pentagon’s own accounting is so opaque that $2 trillion in spending has been deemed "untraceable." And let’s not forget Ukraine or Israel, the MIC’s latest cash cow, where tens of billions in U.S. aid vanish into a black hole of corruption.
The wars of the 21st century don’t even bother with pretense. Forget declarations; the U.S. now engages in hybrid wars, proxy conflicts, economic strangulation through sanctions, and information warfare. Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, these are not declared wars, but they are wars nonetheless, waged in the shadows with the same deadly consequences. And behind every drone strike or sanction lies another bloated defense budget, another no-bid contract, another slush fund for the MIC.
The Declare War Clause was meant to check power, to ensure that the decision to spill blood was taken soberly and democratically. Instead, it has been sidelined by an empire that cannot stop expanding, an empire that feeds on forever wars. This is not about defending freedom, but controlling resources, securing markets, and maintaining hegemony at any cost.
And as BRICS rises, as the Global majority asserts its sovereignty, the Empire grows more desperate.
Its (losing) wars: kinetic, economic, and informational, are not signs of strength but of fragility, the thrashing of a system that cannot adapt to a multipolar world.
Who benefits from this endless bloodshed? Not the American people, saddled with $38 trillion in national debt and over $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. The winners are the same cabal that profits whether the bombs drop or not: defense contractors, Wall Street speculators, and the political elite.
The MIC is not just about war but about money laundering on an imperial scale. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Cash cows. The conflict in Ukraine? A feeding frenzy for weapons dealers and their political masters.
This is not just America’s problem. The endless wars waged by the U.S. ripple out, destabilizing nations, wrecking economies, and displacing millions.
The Empire stumbles, but it won’t fall on its own. It’s time to push harder. The age of unaccountable wars and untraceable profits must end.

WASHINGTON — In a bold move to address what White House officials are calling "selective electoral amnesia," President Biden unveiled his administration's latest campaign strategy Wednesday: a time machine designed to transport voters back to "those four years we all try to forget." The device, resembling a hybrid between a voting booth and a DeLorean, was dramatically unveiled during a White House press briefing, where it immediately began emitting concerning sounds reminiscent of old tweets being forcibly reshared. "This is absolutely, positively, not just a PowerPoint presentation of old news clips," insisted Dr. Marty McPresent, the newly appointed Head of Temporal Voter Engagement. "What we have here is cutting-edge technology powered by pure unredacted tweets and residual covfefe energy." According to totally real Pentagon documents about "Operation Remember When," the time machine has undergone rigorous testing with focus groups, though not without some notable incidents. Several participants were accidentally sent too far back and witnessed Nixon declaring, "I am not a crook," while others reported an uncontrollable urge to check Twitter at 3 AM. "One test subject is still stuck in 2017, trying to understand what a 'hamberder' is," admitted McPresent, while adjusting his "Make Time Travel Great Again" lab coat. "But we consider that an acceptable margin of error." The machine's safety features include "alternate reality protection" and "fact-resistant shields," with a special chamber designed to accommodate both MAGA hats and fact-checkers simultaneously – a breakthrough in quantum political mechanics. Republican critics have been quick to condemn the initiative, with some claiming it violates campaign finance laws from 1876. "How do we know Biden isn't using this to go back and change his Wordle scores?" demanded one concerned congressman, who requested anonymity to avoid temporal prosecution. The GOP has launched its own counter-initiative called "Forward to the Past," which reportedly consists of a ViewMaster filled with carefully curated Facebook memories. Despite the controversy, the Department of Temporal Affairs has begun accepting applications for "memory refresher" sessions. "The entire program costs less than one border wall payment," boasted Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, while attempting to expense a flux capacitor. However, the project hasn't been without its glitches. During a demonstration yesterday, the machine accidentally revealed a future headline: "2024 Election Actually Just 2020 Rerun," causing several journalists to experience what doctors are calling "democratic déjà vu." White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed concerns about potential temporal paradoxes during yesterday's briefing. "We want to be very clear," she stated, reading from a binder labeled 'Temporal Talking Points,' "any similarities between past events and current events are purely coincidental and definitely not a glitch in the space-time continuum." The administration has issued a lengthy disclaimer for potential participants, warning of side effects including "sudden understanding of constitutional amendments" and "an inexplicable desire to read the entire Mueller Report in one sitting." As of press time, the Department of Temporal Affairs reported that several voters had already used the machine and were "significantly more informed," though some appeared to be stuck in an infinite loop of watching impeachment hearings. Voters interested in participating in the temporal voter education program are encouraged to bring their own sanitizer and "reality anchors." The White House emphasized that all trips are one-way and that any accidental creation of alternate timelines is not covered by Medicare. Dr. McPresent concluded the briefing by addressing concerns about the project's actual effectiveness: "Look, if we can't change the past, we can at least remember it correctly. Besides, has anyone really seen the previous

Interhalogen Compounds
Interhalogen compounds are molecules which contain two or more different halogen atoms and only halogen atoms.
Most interhalogen compounds are knows as binary since they are composed of only two distinct elements.
Interhalogen compounds are molecules which contain two or more different halogen atoms.
There are 4 types: AX, AX3, AX5, and AX7.
Classification: Interhalogens maybe be divided into two categories
Neutral interhalogen: contains two or more halogen atoms that are not charged. Ex: ICl, ClF3, IF5, IF7, etc.
Negatively charged interhalogens: has a negative charge, anions. Ex: ICl2- and ICl 4-
Positively charged interhalogens: have a positive charge, cations. Ex: ICl2+ and IF4+
Note: When naming interhalogen compounds, the less electronegative element is mentioned first Ex: ICl -> iodine chloride
Preparation: 2 methods
First way involves the direct mixing of halogens and the other includes a reaction of halogens with the lower interhalogen compound
Cl2 + F2 -> 2ClF
Br2 + 3F2 -> 2BrF3
Br2 + 5F2 -> 2BrF5
I2 + Cl2 -> 2ICl
I2 + 3Cl2 -> 2ICl3
In other cases a halogen atom acts with another lower interhalogen to form a higher interhalogen compound.
IF5 + F2 -> IF7
BrF3 + F2 -> BrF5
Properties
In vapor, liquid, and solid phases.
Covalent in nature
Diamagnetic in nature because they have bond pairs and lone pairs
Very reactive because the A-X bond is much weaker than X-X bond in halogens (with the exception of F-F).
Structure
1) Structure of AX
The compounds of this type are linear, ClF, BrF, IF, IBr, ICl, BrCl, are all linear in structure
Ex: electronic config of chlorine atom -> 3s²3p⁵.
The unpaired electron from a covalent bond with atom of the second halogen. The resulting molecule AX is therefore linear.
2) Structure of AX3
Compounds of this type have T-Shape structure.
The orbitals of central halogen atom are involved in sp³d hybridization.
Ex: IF3, Iodine -> 5s²5p⁵
In AX3 molecules, 3 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs = 5 coordination numbers.
Therefore coordination number is 5, hybridization is sp³d and structure is T-Shaped.
3)Structure of AX5
These compounds are formed by sp³d² hybridization of the orbitals of the central atom A and have square pyramidal structure.
Ex: IF5: Iodine -> 5s²5p⁵
In AX5 molecule, 5 bond pairs + 1 lone pair = 6 coordination numbers.
Therefore CN=6, hybridization is sp³d², and structure is square pyramidal.
Structure of AX7
This compound has a pentagonal bipyramidal structure since it is formed by sp³d³ hybridization of the orbitals of the central atom.
Poly halides
When the halide ions combine with the halogen molecules or interhalogen, univalent ions called poly halide ions are obtained and the compounds are called poly halides.
Ex: ICl2⁻, ICl4⁻, I3⁻
Structure of ICl4⁻
In tetra chloro iodide ion, iodine involves sp³d² hybridization.
In ICl⁻, 4 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs = 6 CN
Structure is square planar
Structure of I3⁻
The structure is similar to ICl⁻, central I⁻ is undergoing sp³d hybridization.
3 lone pairs + 2 bond pairs = 5 CN
Shape is linear.
Pseudo halogens
Groups formed by the combination of two or more P-block elements with unit negative charge.
Ex: Cyanogen (CN)2 -> Cyanide (CN)-
Difference between halogens and pseudo halogens:
Halogens are chemical elements in group 17. Pseudo halogens are chemical compounds having a combination of several chemical elements showing chemical characteristics of halogens.
halogens are chemical elements, pseudo halogens are chemical compounds.
halogens are mono atomic while pseudo halogens are polyatomic.
Similarities between pseudo halogens and halogens:
Both are very reactive
Both are dimeric and isomorphic: Cl2 is isomorphous to (CN)2
Both combine with metals like silver, lead, and mercury to form insoluble salts: Ag + Cl -> AgCl and Ag + CN -> AgCN
Both react with alkali: Cl2 + 2NaOH -> NaCl + NaOCl + H2O and (SCN)2 + 2NaOH -> NaSCN + NaOSCN + H2O
