In 2025, Israeli settlers, backed by the army, displaced rural Palestinian communities in the West Bank at unprecedented rates. It is part of Israel's escalating strategy to take control of as much of the territory as possible.

Coal-powered electricity fell 3% in India and 1.6% in China last year, according to an expert at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. Both added record clean-power capacity in 2025 after global coal’s expected peak was delayed by Ukraine-war gas shocks.

This is essential: a democracy *must* know who is paying its politicians and where that money is coming from.
Cryptocurrency is *designed* to make that impossible.
The whole point is to lift payments outside the scrutiny of the state.
