KIA’s Capture of Mines Disrupts Rare-Earth Markets!

               (K. Warner’s article from the METAL TECH NEWS on 12 November 2024.)

Myanmar REE mining halts, prices soar: Half the world's heavy rare earth production grinds to a halt amidst civil war. Myanmar's top exports have long been oil and natural gas, followed by fruits and vegetables, wood, fish, clothing, and rubber. Its main export partnerships are with China, India, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Indonesia and Hong Kong.

Today, this small country has found itself to be an essential source of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), vital ingredients for the magnets used in electric vehicles and renewable energy wind turbines worldwide.

With countries scouring their own backyards for resources, Myanmar's geological wealth has caught the eye of battery-producing world powers; as much as 50% of the global heavy rare earths supply has come from the small country's mines directly to China, controlling almost 90% of global rare earth processing, backed by 60% of global production.

Pete Hegseth: Trump’s Defense Pick Shocks Pentagon!

              (Leo Shane’s article from the ARMY TIMES on 13 November 2024.)

The Axe-thrower with Jerusalem Cross tattoo.

Trump picks Fox commentator Pete Hegseth as his next Defense Secretary: President-elect Donald Trump announced he will nominate Army veteran and conservative commentator Pete Hegseth (born in 1980: just 44 years old) as his next Secretary of Defense, saying the appointment will help strengthen America’s military.

“With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice — Our military will be great again, and America will never back down,” Trump wrote in a statement Tuesday evening. “Nobody fights harder for the troops, and Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘peace through strength’ policy.”

Hegseth, 44, has been a FOX News host for eight years and a strong backer of Trump. He previously led the conservative veterans advocacy groups Vets For Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America, pushing for fewer restrictions on using Veterans Affairs funding for private health care.

Mass Deportation USA: Tom Homan The Border Czar!

           (Jennie Taer’s article from the NEW YORK POST on 11 November 2024.)

Trump’s new border czar Tom Homan vows that sanctuary cities will not stop him from deporting migrant criminals: ‘We’re coming’. President-elect Donald Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan has a message for New York City and other sanctuary jurisdictions: Nothing will stop us from deporting migrant criminals.

“If we can’t get assistance from New York City, we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City,” he said on Fox & Friends on Monday. “Because we’re going to do the job with you or without you.”

Homan — whom Trump tasked with both securing the border and carrying out the deportation of millions of migrants who are in the US illegally — told The Post that he wants his boss to put maximum pressure on the leaders of New York and other sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with efforts to lock up and deport migrants who commit crimes in the US.

Revolution: Drain The Swamp, Destroy The Deep State?

            (Nick Bryant’s article from the ABC NEWS AUS on 10 November 2024.)

Trump triumphant: How his White House will be different this time. After fours years in the wilderness, Donald Trump’s restoration presidency also threatens to be a retribution presidency. In January 2017, when Donald Trump delivered his first inaugural address, passages read like a declaration of war on Washington.

“Today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another,” he intoned, as his insurgent presidential campaign reached its triumphant fruition, “we are transferring power from Washington DC and giving it back to you, the American people.” From the outset, however, there was the suspicion that America’s 45th president wanted power to be vested primarily in an American personage: Donald J. Trump. His boast, after all, at the 2016 Republican convention had been: “I alone can fix it.”

In the planning of those inaugural festivities, Trump had revealed a penchant for authoritarian flourishes. “Make it look like North Korea,” he reportedly declared at one of the planning sessions, “tanks and choppers.” Afterwards, he tried to create the false sense that record-breaking crowds had listened to his inaugural address, even though aerial photographs showed Barack Obama had attracted a larger throng.

UN Envoy Julie Bishop Met Mad-Myanmar-Dictator

               (Simion Lewis’s article from the REUTERS on 30 October 2024.)

UN envoy says she met Myanmar army chief, calls for end to violence: United Nations Special Envoy Julie Bishop visited Myanmar's capital and met with the head of the country's military junta, she told a U.N. meeting on Tuesday, adding that actors in Myanmar had to move past what she called a "zero-sum mentality" to move toward a resolution of the Southeast Asian country's grinding conflict.

Myanmar has been in crisis since the army chief Min Aung Hlaing led a coup and arrested members of an elected government led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's on Feb. 1, 2021. Bishop, a former Australian foreign minister appointed to the Myanmar role in April, said any pathway to reconciliation required an end to violence, accountability and access for the U.N. and aid groups.

The U.N. says more than 3.1 million people have been displaced by the ensuing civil war between the military and a loose alliance of ethnic minority rebels and an armed resistance movement spawned out of the junta's bloody crackdown on anti-coup protests. "I have visited Naypyitaw and met with Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and I will return," Bishop said of the previously undisclosed visit, without giving more details of the meeting.

Na-Pa-Kha Has Fallen: Ann Town Is Liberated?

(Translated staff article from the KHIT THIT MEDIA on 29 October 2024.)

Communications between the War Office at Nay-pyi-daw and Na-Pa-Kha the Western Military Command at Ann town has been cut-off, and the rumours are that Na-Pa-Kha has fallen, and AA the Arakan Army has liberated Ann the fortified military town in the Arakan State of Burma.

The concerned parents of a young Army-Sergeant-Clerk serving at the Na-Pa-Kha in Ann told Khit Thit Media that they had daily email and telephone contacts with their son till October-25, but on October-26 and 27 it was extremely difficult, and then on October-28 it was completely cut-off, and  when they contacted the Nay-pyi-daw War Office they were simply denied access.

Na-Pa-Kha at Ann has been under-siege for nearly four months and the Divisional CO Major-General Kyaw Zwar Oo seems to have fled to Sittwe where the Arakan State Chief-Minister Htein Lin has been taking refuge since the current AA offensive started last year. AA has now taken twelve townships out of all seventeen townships in Arakan State.
