Ultra-high-purity quartz is an essential component to semiconductor chips, and the only places in the world that can meet this need are two mines in a small North Carolina town. The mines' owner, Sibelco, is investing $700 million to expand capacity, but is that enough to keep up with AI-fueled chip demand?
Spruce Pine is a small town about two hours drive northwest of Charlotte, NC. You can get to the general area via a number of ways, depending on your point of origin, but for the last stretch of the trip, you need to travel down Fish Hatchery Rd. It's a two-lane rural highway, as depicted in Google Maps, set amid a pleasant scenic backdrop.
It's on this road that the modern economy rests, according to Wharton associate professor Ethan Mollick, who teaches innovation and entrepreneurship and also examines the effects of artificial intelligence on work and education. That's because the road runs to the two mines that are the sole supplier of the quartz required to make the crucibles needed to refine silicon wafers.
This is not the first time these mines – owned by Sibelco, which mines, processes, and sells specialty industrial minerals – have been highlighted as integral not only to the global semiconductor industry but also to the solar photovoltaic markets.
Ed Conway raised the issue in his book, Material World, published last summer. Even before that, various media have covered the obscure mines. Mollick raised it again in a recent Tweet, emphasizing its strategic importance. If the mines were somehow to stop operating, "it would likely [be] a few years of major disruption while techniques to generate alternatives were scaled up. But the disruption would be pretty catastrophic

NAZA documentary: IDF soldiers confess to Gaza killings
Alone at Dawn and NAZA: is the cabal losing its media mastery?
NAZA is a 2026 documentary directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor that investigates the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) use of artificial intelligence and automated systems in military targeting during the Gaza war. The film features anonymous testimonies from 24 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers who describe the systematic mass killing of Palestinian civilians and the dehumanizing protocols used to justify high civilian casualty rates, referred to in the film by the Hebrew acronym NAZA (Nezek Agavi) for collateral damage.
The documentary has sparked intense controversy and political backlash in Israel, where it has not been theatrically released. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Culture Minister Miki Zohar, have condemned the film as treasonous, with some calling for the filmmakers' citizenship to be revoked. The IDF has issued a formal response calling the movie distorted, misleading, and disingenuous, denying claims of genocidal intent or...

CIA Color Revolution After Midterms?
Jeff here. The playbook the CIA runs abroad doesn't stay abroad. Color revolutions, engineered chaos, destabilization on command — I watched it work overseas for years. Now watch the calendar. After the midterms is when the machinery turns inward.
France is already burning. Notre Dame's arson wasn't a one-off; it's a symptom. Italy's PM is deploying hundreds of troops to restore order on her own streets. This is what a civilization looks like when it stops being good — because it stopped being Godly. Western greatness was Christendom's fruit. Pull the root, you get the flames.
None of this is coincidental. All of it is by design. On today's briefing I connect Paris, Rome, Tehran, Panama, and Washington. Isaiah 6:8.
