Chinese authorities have begun constructing what will be the world’s largest hydropower dam in Tibetan territory, in a project that has sparked concerns from India and Bangladesh.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang presided over a ceremony marking the start of construction on the Yarlung Tsangpo river on Saturday, according to local media.
The river flows through the Tibetan plateau. The project has attracted criticism for its potential impact on millions of Indians and Bangladeshis living downriver, as well as the surrounding environment and local Tibetans.
The dam is situated in the Yarlung Tsangpo canyon, said to be the world’s largest and deepest canyon on land
Beijing says the scheme, costing an estimated 1.2tn yuan ($167bn; £125bn), will prioritise ecological protection and boost local prosperity.
When completed, the project – also known as the Motuo Hydropower Station – will overtake the Three Gorges dam as the world’s largest, and could generate three times more energy.
Experts and officials have flagged concerns that the new dam would empower China to control or divert the trans-border Yarlung Tsangpo, which flows south into India’s Arunachal Pradesh and Assam states as well as Bangladesh, where it feeds into the Siang, Brahmaputra and Jamuna rivers.
Adam “Shifty” Schiff is in BIG TROUBLE! He falsified Loan Documents. He once said my son would go to prison on a SCAM that Schiff, along with other Crooked Dems, illegally “manufactured” in order to stage an actual coup. My son did nothing wrong, knew nothing about the fictional story. It was an American Tragedy! Now Shifty should pay the price of prison for a real crime, not one made up by the corrupt accusers!
I am hoping all of this will lead to us finding out who was controlling Obama. He was groomed from childhood for his role and surely was following instructions given by someone. Some are saying Obama has a ”kill switch’ which he will use if he gets seriously busted. I hope he does have that switch because it will reveal plenty, maybe including who his bosses are. ABN
New images have for the first time confirmed that the Chinese SH16 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzer is undergoing field trials.
Images released on Chinese social media showing an unknown howitzer were widely reported to be the next generation system, which is expected to enter service before 2027, and may be formally unveiled at the People’s Liberation Army’s upcoming landmark military parade on September 3, 2025.
The system is expected to introduce a number of revolutionary new features, one of which is a modular unmanned turret that reduces crew requirements to just two personnel — one driver and one gunner/commander.
The vehicles are expected to combine high levels of automation with a focus on rapid redeployment capabilities and rapid sustained firing rates.
The SH16’s is a comprehensive system that incorporates a turret with subsystems for firepower, information and control, while maintaining a turret weight of under 14 tons improve mobility.
With a barrel length that is 52 times its 155mm caliber, the howitzer’s range and accuracy are expected to be exceptional.
It’s worse than even politicization of intelligence. It was manufactured intelligence that sought to undermine President Trump’s presidency and subvert the will of the American people. Next week we will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place — DNI Tulsi Gabbard
Don’t miss this one. It’s a good general overview suitable for sharing with people who were fooled by the treasonous conspirators. My understanding is the conspiracy has continued down to this day and includes stealing the 2020 election and we will see that coming out as well. ABN
Ratcliffe is part of the IC apparatus that structurally retains the guardrails allowing the IC to exist as the strongest, non statutory, part of our government.
Ratcliffe like Devin Nunes believes in the system. They see the world threat through the prism of the IC system that tells them where, when and why to be fearful. They are not bad men, they just believe the worldview presented because it has always been thus.
But now is not then. Our ‘this’ is no longer ‘thus’. Now we have President Trump, the embodiment of kryptonite to the superstate.
Now it the era when great boldness is needed. Brutal honesty is required. A combination of humility and arrogance is needed. Totally different skillsets.
Ratcliffe (Boomer) believes in the system, but he is simultaneously open to allowing Tulsi (GenX) to do her thing and show him the dangers he doesn’t see.
EXAMPLE: Tulsi took the national intelligence council (NIC) out of the CIA. Tulsi could not do that without Ratcliffe agreement. Now, Ratcliffe is watching her work, seeing what it brings to the surface, seeing a DNI -funnily an office he held- through an entirely new prism.
Ratcliffe operated the DNI in the same way that all prior DNI’s operated it. Tulsi is operating the DNI in a completely different way. I have written about the possibilities of the DNI office, the unknown power when the office was created.
Now I am watching Tulsi Gabbard test my theories in real time, and it is beyond cool.
Again, this response may not make sense to most. You really have to spend too much time understanding the IC system and the silos they operate to ‘get it.’
Ratcliffe did what he thought was possible within the confines of the DNI position. Tulsi is changing the definition of the DNI position, expanding the wings of power it holds, and doing what is possible.
This expanded power was legislatively authorized in the Patriot Act and subsequent creation of the DNI. Her use of it is why the SSCI now want to change the legislation that created the DNI.
Pope Leo XIV has officially declared his first miracle as pontiff, crediting the 2007 recovery of a dying newborn in Rhode Island to divine intervention following a physician’s desperate prayer.
The Vatican announced last month that the ailing child, Tyquan Hall, who was born prematurely via emergency cesarean section and left with no detectable pulse, made a full recovery after a doctor invoked the name of a long-forgotten 19th-century Spanish priest.
The declaration elevates not just a miraculous story of life snatched from the jaws of death but also the potential sainthood of the humble cleric whose name was called in a moment of need.
‘We are thrilled that this recognition will move the cause of beatification and canonization forward for Venerable Servant of God Salvador Valera Parra,’ said Rev. Timothy Reilly of the Diocese of Providence, calling the papal pronouncement a blessing for Rhode Island and beyond.
The miracle marks the first to be authenticated under Pope Leo XIV, the newly elected American pontiff, and it may set in motion the canonization of Father Valera Parra, a priest who died in Spain in 1889 and had no known miracles to his name, until now.
I am filing this under ‘Buddhism’ as well as ‘religion’ because many Buddhists, including me, also believe in miracles and paranormal phenomena.
All words, concepts and religions have overlapping meanings and describe overlapping realities.
Buddhism, as I understand it, is very open to this side of human thought and existence.
Philosophically, the Buddhist term emptiness does not at all mean ‘nothingness’ or ‘you don’t exist’.
It means all sensory and mental data is transient, like lightning, like dew, and may be wondered over, admired, even sought, but is not nailable to any wall of definite meaning. ABN
