BWorld 160, A high carbon tax is irrational

Nonoy Oplas at Government and Taxes - 13 hours ago
* This is my article in BusinessWorld last October 19, 2017. Political science masquerading as climate science insist that the gas that we humans and our animals exhale, the gas that is used by trees, flowers, fruits and other crops to grow and feed the world — carbon dioxide or CO2 — is a pollutant that must be over-taxed and over-regulated. Far from the truth. CO2 is a useful gas, not a pollutant. Since it is useful, the optimal carbon tax for coal in particular is not P10/ton, not P20, not P600, but zero. However, a zero tax on coal is unpopular from the world of climate alarmis... more »

Why a Nuclear War Between America and North Korea Is Very Possible

Ramesh Thakur at The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Ramesh Thakur* *Security, Asia* But we do have pathways to avoid it. By 2020, North Korea will either be a post-atomic wasteland; an active war zone; or a de facto nuclear-armed state with a fully developed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capability, and grudgingly accepted as such. To paraphrase Churchill’s familiar bon mot on democracy, learning to live with that reality would be the worst outcome, except for all the alternatives. North Korea is no longer pursuing nuclear capability; it is a nuclear-armed state. It has maybe 60 nuclear bombs already, ICBMs to put U... more »

Did a Chinese-Made Anti-Tank Missile Kill America's Best Tank in Battle?

On Oct. 20, 2017, the Kurdish Peshmerga claimed to have destroyed an Iraqi M-1A1 Abrams tank during fighting in Kirkuk province and took grainy video footage to prove it. It was an especially noteworthy clash given that Western allies supplied many of Iraqi Kurdistan’s anti-tank missiles and Iraq’s Abrams tanks. The Iraqi military’s Joint Operations Command accused the Peshmerga of targeting the tank with a wire-guided MILAN anti-tank missile launcher, which Germany supplied by the dozens to the Peshmerga for use against Islamic S... more »

After the September 2017 Independence Referendum, the two main Kurdish ruling parties found themselves in a quandary.

The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) on the other hand was not only accused of selling out to Baghdad by ordering its Peshmerga to fall back in the face of the federal forces, but was deeply divided internally... more »

About drones and terrorists - it's happening right now

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
A few weeks ago, I repeated warnings from several quarters that terrorists had used, and were planning to use, hobby-style drones as weapons of terror. My article was debunked by some who thought the idea wholly far-fetched. One such response may be found here. Well, guess what? Mexican drug cartels are doing it right now! The hobby drone referred to at that link, the 3DR Solo Quadcopter, costs only $199 from online retailers such as Amazon.com. It can carry a payload of 1.1 pounds, according to its user manual - and Mexican drug cartels were obviously using that capability to t... more »

And on Tuesday, the fallout has led House Republicans to announce the launch of two new congressional probes.

As was predicted - the US is shifting blame away from the US-backed client regime headed by Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League of Democracy (NLD) party the US installed into power in 2015 - and toward Myanmar's independent institutions, including the nation's still powerful military.

Miscellaneous material for your mid-week reading. - Hugh Mackenzie writes that the biggest problem with the Libs' closing tax loopholes for private corporations was the failure to push for far more tax fairness: Any tax reform that isn’t just a give away creates winners and losers. If the goal is to make the tax system fairer, the majority of Canadians win—especially if the result in increased capacity to pay for public services. But, almost inevitably, the gains look pretty small and remote to most individual Canadians because they are spread out amongst so many of us. The losers,... more »

There was a time I foolishly thought we had outgrown racial and religious prejudice. The ascension of Donald Trump has underscored the fact that racial prejudice is alive and well.
