“It’s Going to Be Staggering, the Amount of Names”
To start with Epstein was no hedge trader and his exposure to the securities industry was sufficient to talk the talk and his attempt to become a partner in a major firm was first approved and then bounced. This most likely happened because his source of funds were not acceptable. The better story out there is that he was and is a Mossad asset who set him up to operate a honey trap. That would also have involved the CIA as well while providing them with deniability. His ability to establish a surprising work history has no better explanation since he had none of the expected... more »
Secret, Leaked Speech by Chinese Defense Minister Demonstrates China's Intent to Destroy America

We do not know if this picture is particularly believable, but it certainly tells a great story. After all that, this is the largest dam ever built and that means that it is operating outside of well proven engineering experience and thus is exposed to the real risk of been too large. Geology itself can shift, and the dam itself is able to also move. From what is reported, it does not appear that cracking has occurred which suggests general integrity is quite possible. Even if it does produce many oddities over fifty years this may still hold true. What also is true is th... more »
China Claims To Have Slashed Lithium Production Costs
That may be true and it may help drive the cost of lithium batteries down. All good. It is no surprise that this is downward sensitive as it has historically been unimportant. now it is important and maximum effort is underway to slash costs and to secure supply. The supply aspect is merely a mining effort which is well afoot and will easily lead to massive injventories of concentrates. Processing those concentrates cheaply matters. Others are also on the path as well. This is coming and we will see it all under $5,000 per ton. You cannot preserve this secrete. *China C... more »
