Quote:The U.S. Army, Marines, and Special Forces have all replaced their sniper rifles with one system — the Barrett MK22 MRAD Precision Sniper Rifle. In this video, Chris Cappy breaks down why every American sniper switched to this new long-range bolt-action rifle and how it’s changing modern warfare. The MK22 fires multiple calibers including .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Norma, and 7.62 NATO, offering extreme accuracy beyond 1,500 meters. It’s modular, deadly precise, and part of a new global sniper revolution reshaping U.S. military doctrine. We’ll explore how the Precision Sniper Rifle program began under SOCOM, why modular chassis systems dominate today, and how drones, AI, and battlefield sensors are transforming the sniper’s role. From the civilian precision-shooting world to Army modernization, this is the story of how America built the most advanced sniper rifle ever made.

For those who have a slight interest in this sort of stuff the announcement about Google's Quantum chip breakthrough just might be the biggest thing since the first 0s and 1s were used to create Pong the video game..One big down side is there is no current encryption that can stand up to a Quantum computers attack ... Think banking, Crypto coins, protected military and company secrets all available to a Quantum computer that wants to take a look. 

Quote:October 22nd, 2025 changed everything. Google just achieved verifiable quantum advantage—and what they discovered breaks 200 years of physics. This isn’t about faster computers. This is about quantum systems exceeding the Carnot efficiency limits we thought were fundamental to reality itself. Google’s Willow chip just performed one trillion measurements, peer inside molecules in ways that were literally impossible before, and shattered our understanding of what’s physically possible. In this video, I break down:

• How Google’s Willow chip achieved 99.97% fidelity (and why that matters)
  
• The German breakthrough that violated 200-year-old thermodynamic laws
  
• Why quantum error correction below threshold changes EVERYTHING
  
• The Quantum Echoes algorithm that creates “butterfly effects” inside processors
  
• Real timeline: When quantum moves from labs to industrial applications (18-36 months)
  
• The three-part pattern accelerating us toward fault-tolerant quantum computing
  
• What this means for drug discovery, materials science, AI, and cryptography
  
• The dark side nobody wants to discuss
  

Here’s what keeps me up at night: The gap between classical and quantum capabilities isn’t just wide—it’s exponential. Tasks taking classical supercomputers 13,000 times longer are running on quantum processors TODAY. As these systems improve, that gap grows. We’re entering an era where quantum-powered discovery will reshape human civilization within a decade. Organizations making moves RIGHT NOW will define the next decade. Those waiting will become obsolete. The bottom line: This is the most important technology transition of our lifetime. More important than the internet. More important than AI alone. Because quantum enables everything else—it’s the foundation accelerating every other field. The only question is whether you ride the wave or get swept away by it.

Quote:June Lockhart, beloved mother figure from ‘Lassie’ and ‘Lost In Space,’ dies at 100

LOS ANGELES (AP) — June Lockhart, who became a mother figure for a generation of television viewers whether at home in “Lassie” or up in the stratosphere in “Lost In Space,” has died. She was 100.
Lockhart died Thursday of natural causes at her home in Santa Monica, family spokesman Lyle Gregory, a friend of 40 years, said Saturday.
“She was very happy up until the very end, reading the New York Times and LA Times everyday,” he said. “It was very important to her to stay focused on the news of the day.”

Regular readers of this site who have been here for a few years will recall that I blogged some years ago about all those explosions that seemed to be afflicting munitions and chemical plants around the world, particularly in Russia, as a few of its munitions factories exploded. There were also explosions at Iranian ammunition dumps, an explosions in German and British ammunition factories, and explosions in Chinese and French chemical plants in Tianjing and Rouen.

At the time I was blogging about these events, I was arguing that one could not rule out two possibilities: (1) that the events were not accidental, but deliberate sabotage as the result of covert action, or (2) as the result of the covert deployment of some sophisticated technology or weaponry.  In particular, the crater signature of the Tianjin chemical plant explosion intrigued me, because the crater did not look wide and shallow, but rather narrow and deep, as if it had been formed by a deep penetrator bomb, or perhaps even a "rod-of-God" kinetic device deployed from space. This opinion was not based on anything other than what photographs were available at the time. (For a list or my blogs on the prior explosions, search for "munitions plant explosions" on this website's search engine. The most useful article summarizing the pattern is here:

FIRST TIANJIN, THEN SIBERIA, THEN IRAQ, THEN ROUEN, FRANCE, AND NOW

When news came out about the explosion of the munitions plant in Tennessee recently, covert action was again my first thought, but at the time there was not much information to go on, until S.D. sent along the following article, and it's worth pondering:

More Than An Accident? Kyle Bass Sounds Alarm On U.S. Military Explosives Supply Chain After Tennessee Plant Blast

What should catch one's attention here is the assertion of Kyle Bass - made without any corroboration - that the plant provided explosives for about 60% of the Department of Defense's various weapons systems:

Quote:The Accurate Energetics Systems explosion in Tennessee demands urgent, independent scrutiny. With China moving aggressively toward Taiwan and historical precedents of sabotaging munitions facilities, we cannot dismiss the possibility this was more than an accident. AES provides over 60% of the Department of War’s high-explosives systems, losing it for years is a strategic shock. Every indicator and warning in the system is flashing red.

After a commenter remarked on this concentration, Bass modified his comment:

Quote:Across 60% of the platforms…not 60% outright. It’s not quite worded properly.

Even with the correction, one is left with the impression that serious damage to the long-term strategic supply chain for American military forces has been dramatically effected, and the timing of the event, as noted by Bass himself, is suspicious, with the recent Chinese pressures on Taiwan. One might also note that the explosion occurred in an even more suggestive temporal context, namely, the announcement of the Trump administration that Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump would hold a summit meeting hosted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest, to deal with the Ukrainian issue. At a time when the Ukraine seems to be in a nearly hysterical panic for more weapons from the west, damage to the munitions infrastructure needed to supply them weakens the negotiating strength of Mr. Trump.  In any case, the article itself reaches a similar conclusion regarding this event as I reached years ago with other similar events:

Quote:And circling back to Bass' warning about potential sabotage in Tennessee - given China's ongoing hybrid warfare campaign against the U.S. - nothing can be ruled out. As an old Chinese saying goes, it's "death by a thousand cuts." That's the best way to explain the CCP's hybrid warfare against the U.S.

Placed in the context of my earlier blogs about similar events, however, this recent event could be viewed as part of a much larger picture, one of a covert hot war taking place, with the earlier explosions at Russian, Chinese, British, German, Iranian, and French facilities as the manifestations of that war. If the earlier pattern of those events - Russian and Chinese explosions followed by French, British, and German  "incidents" - then we may reasonably assume that there will be some retaliation for this event against whomever the American investigators determine was behind it, and rest assured, if Kyle Bass can think of it, the Department of Defense's investigators already have, and are pursuing it. They will not make any announcements, however. But if plants in China or Russia suddenly explode in a few weeks or months, we may reasonably assume that it might not be another unfortunate accident.

Swedish Astrophysicists have been examining pre-satellite era photographic plates from 1949 to 1957 to see if anything was in Earth orbit before we started sending stuff up there and they may have come up with the goods , of the 5 potential anomalous objects found they discovered one event with 5 dots in a row in Earth orbit interestingly on July 27th 1952 the weekend of the Washington lights sightings.

I would request they look at plates 1945-1948 , see if we can't find Skinny Bobs ship before his accident.

Strictly about the science Sabine Hossenfelder show the pictures and explains more in just 6 minutes.

So, been about three years since the "Georgia Guidestones" were destroyed after being vandalized.

Why a rant ?

Because of the manufactured mystery aspect of the Stones.

A mysterious individual engages a local firm to erect huge granite stones.  Not only that, the stones are so arranged and carved that they can function as both a clock and a calendar.  And to top it all off, they include "commandments" in several languages intended to guide humanity as to how to survive after an apocalypse.

I mean, think about it.  This person revealed their identity to the local banker but told him to keep it secret.  The project in 1980 cost some $100,000 and the money was sent by bank transfer.

Umm, that means there are bank records regarding the transfer, like ... whose account it came from.  But no one has apparently ever shown any curiosity about that.

The other huge red flag is the property upon which the stones were erected.  Who owned that property ?  Let's get real, OF COURSE they knew about the construction and probably had a good idea of, at the least, the group behind the construction of the stones.  But again, no one seemed curious about that.

Finally, there is the question of local planning officials, the mayor, etc.  They knew damned well about the project and were happy with it, else it would NOT have been completed.  I mean (again), one doesn't just go to one state in the USA from another state and fund the construction of such a project without collaborators.  Just the permissions required can be a legal mess, but in this case, it was apparently no issue at all.

= = = =

Some people have dug into this affair.  It seems likely the person who spoke to the banker and construction company in Elberton was a Doctor Herbert Kersten from Fort Dodge, Iowa.  Kersten was known for having far ranging speculations on topics like overpopulation (something mentioned on the stones).  As well, his writing style depicted in letters to the editor in his local newspaper resemble the style used in the written communications to the banker in Elberton.

As someone on find-a-grave asked, "why all the secrecy" ?

Why the board is messing with text colour ?

I was writing it with linux , then i switched to windows and had the text copyed to notepad and from there to comment but again same issue ....


I did not even touch any text font / colour etc setting i swear

"Every morning millions of people move in perfect synchronisation...no words, no emotions, just motion...Everyone knows where to go, but no one knows why"

This video hit really hard. The silence on the train, everyone waring black and white. I also look at morning commutes/traffic and think of blood getting pumped around a body, but the cities are dead, it's not even a machine. Static, immobile glass and concrete. The only joy found in vices with people to tired to care, thankful for the release and happy to claim a ticket to an early grave.

Is this the future for everyone, slaved to the corporate machine, uncaring overlords, cartels and syndicates? Don't mistake me I'm not pro communism or socialism or anything like that, whenever capitalism comes under criticism there is always that whataboutsim of this or that other system is bad, it does nothing to fix the issues. Everyone is afraid of change, nobody wants to lose the little they have. Fat pigs at the top doesn't care, they don't even understand money. It's incompressible to them that we don't eat cake instead of bread.

This is a head scratcher as you do not expect to hit an object at 35,000 and get your wind shield cracked ??????
