Everything you need to know about ITER

I have uploaded five videos, recorded during the summer of 2012 and subsequently illustrated.
The first video shows, using scale models, how the tokamak known as ITER works.
In the following videos, I discuss the key issue of instabilities, including disruptions, occurring in these tokamaks, and draw a parallel with solar flares.
In the final video, I address the political aspects of the project and describe the operating principle of machines aiming for pulsed fusion, such as Z-machines.
All these videos are currently being subtitled. When you click on these links, you will access:

These videos about the ITER project interest all countries. Indeed, they explain why this colossal project, with its global ambition, is an illusion, a ruinous chimera, doomed to failure. Thus, citizens in affected countries will be alerted to the waste represented by these pseudo-researches, at the expense of many other worthwhile research endeavors.
This translation will also enable citizens around the world to resist the intense and deceitful propaganda promoted by the ITER Organization. Attention will also be redirected toward concepts and projects that might actually help the international nuclear industry escape the nightmare it is currently creating.
Unfortunately, as I will explain, the theme of pure, aneutronic fusion, discussed in the fifth video, while offering hope for energy production, is "proliferative" and carries terrifying military applications. It leads to "pure fusion thermonuclear bombs," which do not require a fission trigger and, moreover, can be miniaturized.
In a future video, I will explain why laser fusion experiments are doomed to failure, always due to plasma instabilities. The viewer will discover the incredible scientific fraud perpetrated by researchers at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, who ignored repeated warnings from military experts. After conducting underground nuclear tests under the Centurion Halite project, the military told them in 1988: "No inertial fusion in your setup unless you focus at least 10 to 100 megajoules of X-ray radiation onto your target."
Rather than immediately halting their costly project and jeopardizing their luxurious careers, the Livermore researchers disregarded this warning and completed a 192-laser array producing only 100 kilojoules of X-ray radiation on target—100 times less than the minimum required. All the while claiming that everything would work from the very first tests and concealing these figures, produced by the military during secret trials, from the public.
After two years of testing (2010–2011), the failure became obvious. In irony, the New York Times dubbed this project NAIF (National Almort Ignition Facility), meaning the National Facility for "almost" ignition. Indeed, "almost" means "nearly" in English.
In the United States, all competent scientists know this project is unsalvageable. It will simply be kept running, but no one anymore claims that the goal is fusion or "ignition."
I will explain all the scientific and technical details of this affair.
The French will learn that 17 billion euros will be spent in our country to complete a facility that will not achieve fusion and will merely be "a toy for military engineers"—a toy that will serve absolutely nothing.
Given the failure of the American NIF (National Ignition Facility) testbed, the logical decision would have been to abandon the project. But no. The machine is launched. This Mégajoule installation, featuring 176 lasers and fully managed by military engineers, will be completed at great cost.
Thanks to YouTube, the entire planet will know that we are behaving like complete fools.

I develop my conception of the phenomenon called "Life" in the universe, hypothesizing that its fundamental characteristic is to grow in complexity, thereby expanding its relational field (the two phenomena being interdependent). Under these conditions, since the expansion of the relational field has now reached a planetary scale, the logical next step is establishing contact with other planets—something that could only be envisioned through a "technological" solution, not a "biological" one. Thus, technology, as an emergent phenomenon and an extension of biological potentialities, would, in my view, primarily aim to enable communication across an interplanetary scale. It so happens that one living species on Earth—the human species—possesses this attribute: technology. It also possesses a regulatory behavioral trait designed to prevent self-destruction (through destruction of its habitat) via this same technology: the capacity to reflect on the long-term consequences of its actions, otherwise known as "moral conscience."
