China unveils world’s 1st diesel engine with 53.09% thermal efficiency
The team concentrated effort into optimizing four vital systems: fuel supply, air intake, combustion, and friction reduction.
by Jijo Malayil
Since the invention of the diesel internal combustion engine 127 years ago, engineers and scientists have strived to improve its thermal efficiency.
In a markable advancement, the first diesel engine in history with an intrinsic thermal efficiency of 53.09 percent was unveiled by Chinese firm Weichai Power.
The firm showcased its new technology at the 2024 World Congress on Internal Combustion Engines, which commenced in Tianjin, China.
The accomplishment was recognized by TÜV SÜD, an internationally respected testing organization, and the China Automotive Technology & Research Center, a specialized testing entity for Chinese internal combustion engines.
Leading efficiency innovation
The percentage of diesel combustion energy transferred into useful engine output work without needing a waste heat recovery mechanism is known as the base engine’s thermal efficiency. The engine’s economy improves with the base engine’s increased thermal efficiency…
Gavin Newsom’s California “Loses” Over 24 BILLION Dollars for the Homeless
Since 2019, homelessness in the state rose by almost 20% to more than 181,000 and continues to grow.
by Fox News and Bloomberg
Over the last five years, California used $24 billion to address homelessness. A state audit revealed that there wasn’t consistent tracking to see if all that money actually helped improve the situation. The problem has only gotten worse.
Since 2019, homelessness in the state rose by almost 20% to more than 181,000 and continues to grow. California also has the nation’s highest share of “unsheltered” homeless, or people living in makeshift encampments or cars rather than indoor shelters. A critic noted that authorities know where the money was went, but they don’t want the public to know…
UN ‘Horrified’ by Reports of Mass Graves at Two Gaza Hospitals
The UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, said he was “horrified” by reports of mass graves following sieges by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF)
by CBS and BBC
The UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, said he was “horrified” by reports of mass graves following sieges by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) at two of Gaza’s largest hospitals. Nasser Hospital recovered nearly 300 bodies and al-Shifa Hospital recovered over 380 bodies from mass graves. It was reported that some of the bodies had their hands tied, in violation of human rights laws. Some of the bodies were stripped of their clothing.
The IDF claims it raided the hospitals because Hamas was hiding in and around the medical facilities. Three medical staff told the BBC last month that they were humiliated, beaten, doused with cold water, and forced to kneel for hours after being detained during the raid…
CIA Recruit Is Pursuing Global Internet Censorship As “eSafety” Czar In Australia
American–born Julie Inman Grant is a key architect of the multigovernmental “Global Online Safety Regulators Network” to censor the speech that politicians and government bureaucrats fear
by Michael Shellenberger
X owner Elon Musk should be thrown in prison, said a senator in Australia yesterday, because he refuses to delete a video of a recent stabbing from X globally. “Whatever Elon Musk is on,” said Senator Jacqui Lambie, “it’s disgusting behavior. Quite frankly, the bloke should be jailed.”
But what’s truly disgusting behavior is calling for the incarceration of someone for refusing to censor the entire global Internet on behalf of a single nation. It is not the right of any nation to decide what should be on the Internet around the world. “No president, prime minister, or judge,” responded Musk on X, “has authority over all of Earth!” He’s right.
It’s true that violent content online can be disturbing. I think platforms should put warning labels on them and find some way to prevent minors from seeing it. I also think there are real privacy concerns that should be addressed…
Door to Freedom team shines a light on how little has really changed in the new version of the April 2024 amended IHR
The current language has been watered down, and is a bit trickier to disentangle, but the plan is exactly the same
by Meryl Nass
People said surveillance and censorship: control of misinformation and disinformation had been removed. Not so. They are just moved to an Annex and inserted elsewhere, on page 45. See below.
So what if "the term “non-binding” is no longer crossed out? The document is still binding on nations due to other language, the requirement to report back to the WHO on how well nations are complying, and the new compliance and implementation committee, which will ride herd on nations that do not comply…
Adolf Hitler Is “The Torchbearer of Democracy” in Ukraine?

Ukraine Nazi Parties Fully Aligned with Nazi Germany during World War II

The Nazi faction within the Kiev government exerts its power in the realm of intelligence, internal affairs, national security and the military. It’s a proxy regime in liaison with its U.S.-NATO sponsors…
72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered “Potential Terrorists” In Official Government Documents- You can now be considered a “potential terrorist” just because of your religious or political beliefs
Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner? Are you opposed to abortion, globalism
by Milan Adams
re you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner? Are you opposed to abortion, globalism, Communism, illegal immigration, the United Nations or the New World Order? Do you believe in conspiracy theories, do you believe that we are living in the “end times”?
At one time, the term “terrorist” was used very narrowly. The official definition of terrorism is “The use, or threat, of force with the intention of achieving a political goal.” That makes it pretty clear what sort of people are covered, and for decades it worked well. The government applied the label “terrorist” to people like Osama bin Laden and other Islamic jihadists. But the Obama administration removed all references to Islam from terror training materials, and instead the term “terrorist” was applied to large groups of American citizens.

Peter S. who became a $250 Founding Member on Substack wrote me a wonderful note that I would like to quote from:
"You are doing awesome work, and I am happy to support your efforts. You are helping to launch a totally new way of thinking about governments, for which I am most thankful. I have already bought several copies of your book, with the intention of giving them away to others, something which I have almost never done in my life, since your perspectives and take on history needs desperately to be shared far and wide. Even though as a philosophy major in college--before turning organic farmer—I valued books and ideas very highly, yours is a real paradigm changer!"
