"Because there we see the answer to the question of eucatastrophe. Gollum fell not due to luck, or to fate, or to a nudge from Illuvatar or any of the Valar. He fell because Frodo willed it so. Frodo, using the power of the Ring, cursed Gollum to be cast into the fire.
"And so Gollum fell, exactly as Frodo, using the Ring’s magic, commanded him to.
"This is, fundamentally, why the destruction of the Ring...well...rings true. It happens because it must, because the very mortal hero within the story used the power at his command to make it happen. Frodo’s failure of nerve, at the end, was not a failure of his quest.
"Frodo destroyed the Ring himself."

🏹 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Nato land corridors could rush US troops to front line in event of European war
🔶️ Nato is developing multiple “land corridors” to rush US troops and armour to the front lines in the event of a major European ground war with Russia.
🔶️ American soldiers would land at one of five ports and be channelled along pre-planned logistical routes to confront a possible attack by Moscow, officials told The Telegraph.
🔶️ Logistical routes have become a key priority since Nato leaders agreed to prepare 300,000 troops to be kept in a state of high readiness to defend the alliance at a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, last year.
🔶️ Existing plans have US troops landing at Dutch ports before boarding trains that transport them through Germany and onwards to Poland.
🔶️ In the event of a Russian invasion of Nato, US troops would be shipped to the port of Rotterdam before being transported eastward.
🔶️ But arrangements are also being made behind the scenes to expand the routes to other ports to ensure the ground line of communications cannot be severed by Moscow’s forces.
🔶️ If Nato forces entering from the Netherlands are hit by Russian bombardment, or northern European ports destroyed, the alliance is set to shift focus to ports in Italy, Greece and Turkey.
🔶️ Similar plans exist to transport forces from Turkish and Greek ports through Bulgaria and Romania to reach the alliance’s eastern flank.
🔶️ Plans are also being drawn up to transport troops via ports in the Balkans, as well as through Norway, Sweden and Finland.
🔶️ But after warnings that Nato only has 5 per cent of the necessary air defences to cover its eastern flank, the Jsec commander is concerned about surface-to-air capabilities to defend his key logistical hubs.
🔶️ “Observing and assessing the Russian war in Ukraine, we have observed Russia has attacked Ukraine’s logistics bases,” he said.
🔶️ “That must lead to the conclusion that it is clear that huge logistics bases, as we know it from Afghanistan and Iraq, are no longer possible, because they will be attacked and destroyed very early on in a conflict situation.”
🔶️ “With regards to air defence... It’s always scarce. I cannot imagine a situation that you have enough air defence. That is a good example where a military principle apples: ‘If you want to be strong everywhere, you are strong nowhere.’”

“I will have the opportunity, when President Zelensky goes to France next week for D-Day events, to receive him and then talk very specifically to announce what we are going to do,” Macron told reporters, AFP reported.

"The Tiananmen Square protests began in April 1989 as genuine student protests to mourn the death of Hu Yaobang, a political reformer and former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. However, the protests were quickly leveraged by British and American intelligence and transformed into a prototypical “color revolution” aimed at overthrowing the Chinese Communist government."

Nollet’s “electric boy” experiment has a boy hanging from insulating silk ropes and given an electric charge. A woman is encouraged to bend forward and poke the boy’s nose, to get an electric shock herself.
The scene now shifts to Europe where Abbe Jean-Antoine Nollet picked up on Demainbray’s experiments and tried some of his own. He was also a showman who made a fortune out of the electrical divertissements he devised for the French aristocracy, most famously the electric boy. Nollet also experimented with a whole range of techniques on a wide range of living things including seeds and plants which reported to the French Academy of Sciences in 1748. and which he wrote up in several books. Germination of seeds was several days quicker but the resultant plants weaker.

"These alternatives to energy, wind and solar, actually destroy plant life."
Geologist, Prof. Ian Plimer, dispels the myth that wind turbines and solar panels are in any way "green" or "environmentally-friendly".
"Solar panels leak out cadmium telluride, they leak out lead. These go into the soils. That's left there, it doesn't leach out. When we get rid of solar panels, we leave a huge environmental disaster behind. And these are areas which later we might want to use for growing food."
"In the case of wind turbines, they pollute very large areas with extraordinarily dangerous chemicals, and instead of trying to dispose of these wind turbine blades, we bury them... There is no industry at all where we can recycle these."

Geologist, Prof. Ian Plimer: "Carbon dioxide in the past has been much, much higher than now. We're currently at 0.04%. For most of geological time, it was about 20%."
"And during that geological time when we had high carbon dioxide, we had three of the six great ice ages. So clearly carbon dioxide wasn't driving runaway global warming."
"We are actually dangerously low. And if we continue to follow that long-term geological trend, we will find that plants will die... We are currently at just over 0.04% carbon dioxide. That's not enough for plants to thrive. They like about two or three times that amount."
