On the satellites and what can go up and what can work there. We’re lost if we do not watch China. They are on the way to two satellite ‘super-constellations,’ CTC-1 and CTC-2, totaling 200,000 satellites – all networked. Starlink’s long-term target is 42,000. So the two superconstellations are a netcentric design, one does not fiddle with one or two for positioning, but with batches in a certain segment of the space defined as applicable for geostationary satellites. Their three ‘weather satellites’ or ‘earth monitoring’ (ha) up there are fully networked. I am still convinced that it is these ones that helped the Houthis with targeting – very quietly but there were dots that could be connected.

This satellite system from Musk is what Putin and Zi Xinping refer to when they speak about space having to remain a non warfighting domain. Of course, it is not going to remain this and between Russia and China, concern has been expressed about the so-called Golden Dome. The suspicion is that it is not a defensive system (if in fact it is designed even at this stage).

In terms of temperature control: The Chinese Space Station, Tiangong is modularly designed. Anyone, those that are invited, can go and hook their module to share resources. I don’t believe it is farfetched to think such a module could have temperature controls. Of course the Tiangong must have to keep the taikonauts at a livable temp despite controls within the space suits. I mean, if we need heat, here is some: https://futurism.com/science-energy/china-fusion-artificial-sun
And cooling (unfortunately an unbreakable paywall) https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3340053/chinas-supercooling-tech-packs-40-more-punch-chips-used-military-radar?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=email

Musk is a baby in this space. I don’t necessarily post up the screeds of information that floats in consistently, but can do so if there is an interest.

Trump may be pretending to play it easy, but he is worried. Latest on the E.Files .. TRUMP ON EPSTEIN: ‘Time for the country to get on to something else… it was a conspiracy against me by Epstein’
(Poor Baby!)

Aah, I love Chrstina, but she is off here with ‘crypto’.  She has no understanding of cryptocurrencies and should leave it alone.

The cryptocurrency market today has a value of $2.73 Trillion. 

Compare that with the Dollars that are sloshing around across the world, not even to talk about the US debt.  It dwarfs the crypto market by many orders of magnitude.

The national debt clock racks it up at 38 Trillion .. 38,000,000,000,000.  The markets hold massive amounts beyond that.

So, it is not cryptocurrencies per se that is the problem or if it is, it is small.  There is much more evil in the US dollar than in all the cryptocurrency markets combined.

We always read about the crime because it is titillating, but we do not read about the solid cryptocurrencies that are used today by countries and people that are fine and good.  Again, we have to point to China and their CIPS .. half of Africa live on the MPesa and the other half on CIPS.  Brazil lives on their PIX.  Russia’s internal system is called MIR.  And we are not touching yet the cross border settlement mechanisms now.  This is a massive business.

Cryptocurrencies are just a modern depiction of money.  https://sovereignista.com/2026/02/01/history-of-money-the-3-world-firsts-all-from-china/

The thing is, these off-books usage of cryptocurrencies are not counted by the like of the World Bank or the IMF.  So we do not know how big it is, and if we wanted to know, we would need a thinktank of those who count for months.   Trump and his payment with his non-valuable name coins is just crap.

Trump coins, Melania coins – are by definition criminal enterprises- cut as currencies and crooked from the day that the first Trump family member thought of it.  It is just a dollar with a different name.

A little note I received … I have no comment on this as I don’t know.

There no longer is any doubt around the missile test fired into Siberia by Iran. 10,000 km ICBM, straight ballistic missile, to serve with a nuclear warhead which appears to be coming from North Korean tests. Whether the nuke warhead exists or not doesn’t matter. The missiles does, and that means they are 80% to deterrence.  A warhead without a missile is useless. A missile without a nuke can still carry a very heavy conventional warhead and the range and speed make it indefensible to the US. Thus, deterrence will be in their posture. NK is the model.

Meanwhile, Putin is working all the back channels to deal with Trump. Can’t go through the Oval Office. They filter everything. And CIA has to be avoided. But Dmitrev brought an encrypted phone system to Miami to use between Moscow and Witkoff, so Witkoff can whisper into Trump’s ear what Putin wants to tell him. Probably Quantum Communications phone, impossible to decrypt.

Doesn’t mean there won’t be some kind of strike, but it will be arranged like the first two and it will let Trump bloviate without getting a lot of people killed.
