Nikola Tesla was a man born of lightning and destined to illuminate the world, yet he died in a lonely hotel room, forgotten by the very civilization he helped build.
From his childhood in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the legendary “War of the Currents” against Thomas Edison, this documentary explores the life of a visionary who saw the 21st century long before it arrived.
We delve into his groundbreaking work with alternating current, his mysterious experiments at Wardenclyffe Tower, and his final, controversial designs for a “death beam” weapon that he believed could end all war.
Discover the true story of the eccentric genius who prioritized the advancement of humanity over personal fortune, and why his radical ideas about wireless energy and global communication remain the foundation of our modern world.

• High Reliability: Unlike wind or solar power, nuclear plants run continuously and provide steady baseload power regardless of weather or time of day.
• High Energy Density: Nuclear fuel packs a massive amount of energy into a very small volume, meaning a tiny amount of uranium can power a large city for a long time.
• Long Operating Lifespan: Modern nuclear power plants can operate efficiently for 60 to 80 years with proper maintenance.
• High Capital Costs: Building new nuclear power plants takes a very long time and requires massive upfront financial investments and heavy government regulation.
• Risk of Major Accidents: While rare, accidents like Chernobyl or Fukushima can cause severe, long-term environmental damage and make surrounding areas unsafe for humans.
• Water and Ecosystem Impact: Plants use large amounts of water for cooling, which can warm local water bodies and harm aquatic life.

For decades, mutual deterrence among major powers provided the world with a degree of predictability, with the nuclear factor lying at the heart of this system since the middle of the last century. The great powers restrained one another and, in doing so, restrained themselves.
They understood that overly ambitious geopolitical adventures could carry unacceptable risks, thus “strategic stability” was the reassuring term given to what was, in reality, the capacity for mutual destruction. International institutions grew around this balance like mushrooms around a tree trunk, but beneath all the agreements and diplomatic language lay something much simpler: the fear of the consequences of a direct conflict between major powers. Now, however, that system is falling apart.
Many posit that the problem is precisely the loss of fear as political elites have ceased to believe that nuclear war is genuinely possible and hence the declining restraint we see in the conflict in Ukraine, in the Middle East and, potentially, in Asia.
The apparent solution is therefore to remind everyone just how terrifying nuclear war would be. Restore the fear, the argument goes, and states will once again exercise restraint and become ready to negotiate new rules. There’s logic to this, but there’s also an enormous danger.

It has been a turbulent three and a half decades, to say the least, and the country is now moving inexorably toward the brink of collapse. Riven by corruption, in the grip of a toxic hardline nationalism that has devoured the body politic, and consumed by a sense of its own exceptionalism, Ukraine has proven easy pickings for an increasingly fractured, radicalized, and militarized neo-liberal West.
In this exclusive series, RT sizes up Ukraine after 35 years on its own, exploring three themes that will dictate the country’s future but which remain unexplored in Western mainstream reporting.
This is the Ukraine assessment that the EU and NATO don’t want you to read or share.

Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, says Israeli forces should “kill 30 or 40” people in Gaza every night and go beyond “those who pose a danger … at that particular moment”.
Ben-Gvir made the comments to Rom Braslavski – a former Israeli captive held in Gaza as Israel waged a genocidal war on the territory after the Hamas-led attacks in October 2023 – in a podcast episode that surfaced on Sunday and was shared widely across Palestinian media.
“There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” Ben-Gvir added while calling for the targeted killings of Palestinians in Gaza.
The remarks are the latest in a long record of extreme statements from Ben-Gvir, who sits in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government and controls Israel’s police and prison services.

Heartland Institute Research Fellow Linnea Lueken talks about how the Earth is greening, meaning plant life is increasing – it’s one of the benefits of climate change that is often ignored or dismissed.
Short Summary:
Plant life is integral to the biosphere. Plants take CO2 in, and in the process of photosynthesis, turn it into oxygen and water vapor which is released into the atmosphere. During photosynthesis plants combine water, CO2, nutrients, and energy (light), to grow.
Liebig’s Law of the Minimum, which defines the most limiting resource in photosynthesis, says that if one of those elements increases, all other elements remaining equal, growth will occur. Carbon dioxide concentration has increased in Earth’s atmosphere over the last century, and plants have benefitted from the extra CO2, producing a general greening of the earth.
NASA satellite imagery has recorded this greening which is reflected in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), created to measure the vegetative cover on the land surface. NDVI also identifies water, deserts, and ice.
In 2016, NASA reported that up to half of Earth’s vegetated lands have shown significant greening during the preceding 35 years, largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. NASA measured a 10 percent greening of the earth between 2000 and 2020, alone. The greening represents a net increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the size of the continental United States.

Roger Waters—legendary Pink Floyd co-founder and one of the world’s most outspoken advocates for peace and justice—is backing a British 9/11 family in their historic effort to secure a new inquest into the death of Geoff Campbell, who was killed in the North Tower on 9/11. As the family’s landmark UK Supreme Court hearing approaches, he is urging everyone to stand with the Campbell family by contributing to their Crowdfunder before the July 31 deadline.
