"Derived from the Executive Orders issued by President Trump on May 23, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Reactor Pilot Program (RPP). Under this program, multiple companies were chosen to work with the DOE under an expedited licensing pathway to enable faster timelines to reach reactor construction, bringing reactor developers closer to the desired stage of design iteration to achieve economic and commercial scale at a faster pace. The DOE also initiated the Fuel Line Pilot Program (FLPP) to rapidly progress technology within the nuclear fuel chain.

"The primary goal of the RPP was to facilitate three new reactors achieving criticality by July 4, 2026, which was the specific directive given by the Executive Orders. The expedited path to actual steel in the ground is a massive secondary benefit. We recently highlighted one of the program's successes with Valar Atomics achieving cold criticality with Project NOVA.

"The FLPP‘s biggest win to date came with the recent announcement of Oklo receiving approval for their Nuclear Safety Design Agreement (NSDA) for the Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility, approved in just under two weeks."

Trump just posted this. Exactly what I’ve been saying about why Trump is raging with Venezuela - it’s about electoral interference.

And it includes Soros, of course!

Economic Ugliness

This is the sort of thing that we last saw in 2008. Not that it was this bad back in 2008. Translation: interest rates are finally going to start climbing. And by climbing, I mean by a LOT. I can remember when they were 17 percent. No one is financing new cars at 17 percent, […]

What if saving one world means creating - and destroying - a dozen others?

A distress call from his alternate self summons Peter Burdell to a parallel Earth ravaged by a nanotech plague that turns ordinary people into relentless undead zombies. Stranded by an unexpected betrayal, Peter has to do the unthinkable: shattering the multiverse to end the plague and find a way home.

Now Pete and his alternate selves each have a piece of the puzzle and must work together and find a solution to end the threat to humanity all across the multiverse. Can Pete turn the tables on his betrayer and escape with the answer? And how will the Multiverse Coordination Committee react when they discover Pete has violated their Prime Directive: Never Split a Timeline!

Part high-concept science fiction, part multiverse technothriller, Split Decision is a story of risk and redemption, and the personal cost of doing what's necessary, even when it shatters the multiverse.

‼️CDC data reveals: Infant mortality skyrocketed after 2021 mass vaccination

Researcher Nicolas Hulscher is sounding the alarm on what may be the largest medical scandal in modern history. According to CDC data:

For 30 years, infant mortality rates in the US steadily declined

In early 2021, childbearing-age women were mass vaccinated with the COVID-19 shots

Immediately, an inflection point. Mortality rates "shoot right up" and have not come down since

In 2025, babies are now dying at a shocking 77% excess mortality rate. The crisis is so severe that states like Mississippi have declared a state of emergency

Hulscher suggests some of the genetic material from the shots may have integrated into the recipients' bodies, creating a "legacy effect" that could pass to offspring and cause transgenerational harm.

NEW - Netanyahu: "I think Churchill would have been accused of stupendous war crimes. We don't carpet-bomb. We don't do Dresden. We don't do any of that."

During the deliberate bombings of Dresden by British and American forces in 1945, tens of thousands of innocent German civilians were killed.

I've been at the climate game since they called it global warming, a term now dropped for obvious reasons. It was always obviously ridiculously over hyped. See e.g. https://wmbriggs.substack.com/p/the-great-global-warming-aka-climate
