Alternative Media Insights
Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

A fascinating post was found after I watched a short video on smart meters. I can't remember the title of the bill, but it was passed in 2023. I want someone to read what the bill allows and prohibits for us to understand it better. I don't have the time or focus to do it myself and I'm pretty sure someone will find it easier to understand than me. I am curious to learn what is intended in relation to the civil nuclear program. Most of France's electrical power comes from a large number of power stations. I am wondering why the French system is still in operation despite our aging fleet being scheduled for decommission. I suppose something terrible could happen there, despite over 50 years of safe operation....

Netanyahu told the cabinet ministers that he had a letter from Biden and a phone call transcript from Trump that guaranteed that Israel has the right to return to war after phase one of the agreement. The cabinet decided that Israel would insist on reaching the war goals: dismantling Hamas, removing the threat from Gaza, and releasing the hostages, and a decision was also added on war and dismantling the terrorist networks in Judea and Samaria.
