Electrolytes
I learned this from a friend in the SouthWest deserts. An electrolyte drink packet that is nothing but sodium, potasium, and magnesium salts with a touch of flavoring. No sugar or sweeteners. Significantly more salt than ‘government recommendations’ that is optimized for peak absorption and performance… especially in hot weather. I’ve been using it lately and it does taste salty, but very palatable. Called: LMNT. (Element)

What ever works plus like the sock with the houses, insulation insulation,insulation. Opening windows except in the morning is only going to bring in hot air. Windows need duel pane and thermal curtains or wet towel closed with shade outside it to stop the sun hitting them. Take a hose to the roof and walls where the sun is shining along with the ground will cool the temperature for a time.
A cool rag around your neck cooling the carotid arteries to cool the body. Lots of ice stored. Light cloths including the kids and electrolytes around, water alone won’t do it. It can flush out the electrolytes. You or children can get water alone toxicity with only large amounts of water. Think a sponge thrown in water swells up, expands, that’s what water toxicity does to your brain. Creates a head injury with head hatch nausea vomiting. If anything a little salt in the water, salt crackers or something salty and other than just water.
They will kill people with heat strokes, heat exhaustion, and dehydration. Hope most can fight back and appeal. Hope someone’s watching out for the infants children who can’t talk about it but might get fussy and keep them cool and hydrated. Then the elderly which will die if no one’s helping them. Maybe that’s what they want.
The earliest, and still the simplest, are tubes covered in wet cloth.
The tube is outside the building with one or both ends connected to the building. The tube is cooled by the water evaporating from the cloth. A fan blows air through the tube pushing the cooler air into the building. If both ends are connected the air gets progressively cooler.
A few years back we were camping and it was 106 in the shade. Just putting socks on the beer bottles and keeping them watered got the temp down to the low 70’s, which felt really cool in those conditions. Everybody was laughing their heads off – but they all drank the beer!
Too funny
The other side of the story.
Homemade air conditioners
You can probably use a small plug in fan with this. There’s a lot of different videos on YouTube. This is one of the fastest, easiest and cheapest. Can make ones for every room but safety care young children where they can’t reach it if plugged in fan around melting ice and tell them why.

Pitchfork time!
… and how could James Bond stoop so low? I am astonished! 🙂
Maddog, ipso, and then there’s this;

These are dictator actions of a tyrant but appears EU is used to it. The likelihood that Iran planted the mines in the first place and if so it would be a conflict of interest for them to be in control of them in anyway.

BREAKING: Iran directly warns France, Oman and the US against clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran’s Deputy FM Gharibabadi stating “mine clearance is carried out solely by Iran and not by any other country,” adding timing is solely in Iran’s hands and it “does not allow such an action by France, Oman or the US,” per Tasnim.
Iran “strongly advises France not to complicate it further with its provocations,” following Macron’s announcement with Oman’s Sultan in Paris that France and Oman would execute Hormuz demining.

Terrible look for the EU bigwigs.

I think Iran would like to delay until the midterms and then if the Demos win big Trump may be impeached.
Patience will run out at some point
Iran Contradicts Trump, Refuses Talks ‘At Any Level’ For Coming Days, While US Delegation Travels To Qatar
Iran Foreign Ministry contradicts Trump on Doha talks: “We will not hold any negotiation meetings at any level with the American side in the coming days.”
US-Iran talks may resume Tuesday in Doha, Trump declaring the plan in a Monday Truth Social, with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveling to Qatar, though Tehran denies technical negotiations are scheduled.
Qatar suspended most maritime activity as security deteriorates, while shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted & slowed.
Recent US-Iran strikes have clouded diplomacy, despite reports both sides have paused military action.
Iran warned it could halt negotiations and said further US involvement in Hormuz would escalate tensions and delay the waterway’s reopening.

Seems like both sides are drawing this out for some reason.

Then they’re free to sabotage the Gulf as they’re doing. They should do more than that, interfere with their navigation and digital systems, make it reversible.. at first.. but if they interfere or sabotage the Gulf states transporting and selling oil.. mess with theirs.
goldielocks
I think right now Iran is free to ship it’s oil out without hindrance. If they eff with us some more then we should blockade their ships once again.
Ipso
I had a feeling Iran was going to come out and say that since it’s them who want to call the shots. Then Armstrong comments they’re in need of money in the mid east as if inflation is not bad enough. Well instead of giving them money as they demand, increase sanctions instead. I wonder if they are watching close to make sure Iran is not smuggling in oil through the strait by transferring it to other ships. If they want to cut off oil shipments to the Gulf states perhaps do the same to them. If they mess with some of their shipments and alternative pipelines threaten to mess with Iran oil transportation services including electronics systems they use as well as tightening sanctions.
Let’s shut this subversion down!
DOJ Grand Jury Targets Marxist Tycoon Neville Roy Singham’s Web of Foreign-Funded Leftist Activism
The Justice Department has taken a significant step toward accountability by launching a grand jury investigation into Neville Roy Singham, the Shanghai-based tech billionaire whose millions have flowed into a vast network of socialist, communist, and Marxist organizations operating inside the United States.
This probe, led by the powerful Southern District of New York, signals a long-overdue reckoning with dark money networks that have sown division, promoted anti-American propaganda, and advanced agendas aligned with America’s adversaries.

Sovereign Debt Crisis May Start in Middle East – Martin Armstrong
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong warned in May “Iran Bombs UAE to Trigger Financial Meltdown.” Then, about two weeks ago, there was a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran, and everyone thought the war and the crisis was on its way to being over. Oil fell below $70 a barrel, and it looked like everything was going to be worked out with a 60-day ceasefire. Now, it looks like everything could fall apart with attacks from Iran, counter-attacks from the US and the back and forth continues. Can the MOU that has dropped the price of oil survive this? Martin Armstrong says, “Iran is not stupid. What is happening is when we had Covid, oil went down to $6.50 (per barrel). It was below production costs. The governments borrowed extensively to stay alive. All that debt is still there. So, the sovereign debt crisis may start in the Middle East. People are completely blindsided because they think that in the Middle East, they are just flush with money–Not True. Now, they are like everybody else with debt up to their chin. Iran is intelligent. They are not Venezuela. They are attacking the Gulf State refineries and the whole Strait of Hormuz. They know that’s not impacting the United States. The US is basically self-sufficient. It impacts Asia, and it impacts Europe, but what else does it do? It prevents the Gulf States from selling oil. If they cannot sell oil, they default on their loans. If they default on their loans, you get a banking crisis, which goes straight to London. This is much more complicated than people think. Trump understands this is much bigger than just Hormuz and the price of oil.”
Looking it up in English
Tragic stories, the tone of voices and things like eternal hell is not enough punishment for him he’s lucky he’s already dead or is he.
A lot of eyes were involved in these multistory buildings but yet no one reported it it , was there no one at the top who wasn’t corrupt?
English version
Following catastrophic earthquakes in Venezuela, devastating structural failures revealed that several high-rise buildings in the Hugo Chávez housing developments were constructed using Expanded Polystyrene (EPS, or Styrofoam) as primary void-fillers and internal framing, rather than reinforced steel and concrete.
The Controversy and Structural Failures
Public outrage and videos from first responders emerged after the earthquakes, showing heavily damaged and collapsed multi-story buildings. Survivors and structural inspectors discovered that the collapsed structures were built using foam and thin aluminum sheets instead of the required heavy-duty steel. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
The Misión Vivienda Program
These buildings were part of the Gran Misión Vivienda Venezuela (Great Venezuela Housing Mission), a massive state-led public housing initiative launched under the late President Hugo Chávez. Many of these specific units were built through joint government projects with international partners, including Turkish firms (such as Suma) and the controversial contractor Alex Saab. Critics and whistleblowers highlighted that while the housing developments were heavily publicized and funded with concrete-grade budgets, the actual materials used were cheap, lightweight, and highly vulnerable to seismic activity. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Legitimate Construction vs. Unsafe Practices
While the use of block-molded foam (like ICF – Insulating Concrete Forms) or foam-core panels is standard and legitimate in specific seismic engineering applications, the structural core must still rely on a supportive grid of reinforced concrete and rebar. In the case of the Venezuelan housing projects, inspectors and engineers reported a dangerous lack of foundational load-bearing materials, leading to the catastrophic collapses of multi-story buildings. [1, 2]
For a look at the social and political reactions surrounding these discoveries in the aftermath of the quakes:
Omg
Worse than imagined. Unbelievable.
Venezuela collapsed buildings. He said the son of a B Madero.. correction murderer not Madero but someone called Hugo Chávez Frías made the buildings with Styrofoam with a little cement over it disguising it.

Id did the same thing except with charts. I had quite a collection lol
Speaking of which just looking at silver if you blend the current candle still in progress that could change before the nights over and last Fridays you have a bullish spinning top. Meaning undecided or mixed with a little bullish advantage… so far.
