"If Donald Trump wants to take Greenland, he doesn't need to send tanks there. He only needs to turn off Denmark's access to Microsoft Office 365, John Deere tractors, and combine harvesters."

                    Israeli analyst Danny Citrinowicz described the agreement as a strategic "catastrophe". What had been framed as a joint campaign to weaken, or even topple ⁠the Islamic Republic has, in his view, flipped into US recognition of .

                    "We went to topple the regime with US backing & ended with Washington effectively giving legitimacy & strengthening the same regime we wanted to bring ​down," said Citrinowicz, a snr Iran researcher at Israel's Institute for Studies.

                      6,000 Patents Hidden By The Government | U.S. Invention Secrecy Act

                      Short video: https://octade.net/urls/6000_patents.html

                      In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.

                      From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.

                      This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?
