Pentagon Says $62 Million In Ukraine Weapons Aid Was ‘Lost Or Destroyed’ – But It Doesn’t Know Which
June 27th, 2024Via: Tampa Free Press:
The Pentagon doesn’t know whether $62 million in missing U.S. weapons aid to Ukraine has been lost or destroyed, according to a new report released on Wednesday.
The $62 million in weapons were designated for end-use monitoring (EEUM), but problems in reporting and tracking between U.S. and Ukrainian forces left an information gap as to what equipment may have been destroyed, lost or diverted through November 2023, according to a Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General report (OIG) report.
The Pentagon has had consistent problems tracking U.S. aid to Ukraine since the country’s war with Russia began in 2022.
“Lab-Grown Living Skin Created by Scientists Hoping to Make More Human-Like Cyborgs”

It’s the face of the future.
A team of scientists unveiled a robot face covered with a delicate layer of living skin that heals itself and crinkles into a smile in hopes of developing more human-like cyborgs.
The skin was made in a lab at the University of Tokyo from a mixture of human skin cells grown on a collagen model and placed on top of a 3D-printed resin base, the New Scientist reported.
Scientists on the project — who published their findings in Cell Reports Physical Science on Tuesday — believe the living skin could be a key step in creating robots that heal and feel like humans.

A prominent US lawmaker has referred to Ukraine as a “gold mine”, insisting the West must maintain access to the trillions of dollars worth of critical minerals located in the country.
“They’re sitting on $10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine”, said Senator Lindsey Graham.
“They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don’t want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China”, he added.
NASA Awards SpaceX Contract to Destroy International Space Station in 2030
June 27th, 2024Via: NASA:
NASA announced SpaceX has been selected to develop and deliver the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle that will provide the capability to deorbit the space station and ensure avoidance of risk to populated areas.
“Selecting a U.S. Deorbit Vehicle for the International Space Station will help NASA and its international partners ensure a safe and responsible transition in low Earth orbit at the end of station operations. This decision also supports NASA’s plans for future commercial destinations and allows for the continued use of space near Earth,” said Ken Bowersox, associate administrator for Space Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “The orbital laboratory remains a blueprint for science, exploration, and partnerships in space for the benefit of all.”
While the company will develop the deorbit spacecraft, NASA will take ownership after development and operate it throughout its mission. Along with the space station, it is expected to destructively breakup as part of the re-entry process.

Supreme Court Tosses Case Over Biden Coercion Of Social Media
June 26th, 2024
Via: ZeroHedge:
The Supreme Court on Wednesday tossed a case claiming that the Biden administration unlawfully coerced social media companies into removing content and banning users based on political views.
In a 6-3 decision, the Court found that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue – as opposed to tossing the case on merit – just like the vast majority of election fraud cases which didn’t make it past lower courts.
Clearly it was easier to punt this one than focus on the mountain of evidence that the Biden administration and US intelligence agencies were directly pressuring social media platforms to censor free speech disfavorable to the regime.
WikiLeaks DNC Email Archive Appears to Have Been Removed, But Not Recently
June 26th, 2024The WikiLeaks DNC email archive appears to have been removed, but not recently. I checked Internet Archive and I had to go back to 2022 to get a working snapshot.
The WikiLeaks search index still contains pointers to the files, but the files themselves are resulting in “Internal Server Error” as of now. If you check Internet Archive, you’ll see that the DNC email archive was removed at some point in 2022.
Other files, such as the Hillary Clinton emails, are loading fine.

Batteries as a Military Enabler
June 25th, 2024Via: War on the Rocks:
The larger and more sophisticated the Chinese battery complex becomes, the more likely it is to secure technological advances in next-generation solid-state batteries that could revolutionize energy or transform military affairs. It could also leverage its existing industrial capabilities in lithium-ion batteries to scale deployments of unmanned and manned aerial and maritime systems.
