House Impeachment Inquiry Day 5: Live

*WNU editor:* What I have seen so far this morning is the same stuff that I have seen since the start of these live hearings. A lot of government officials who disagree with President Trump's policies, who have their own opinion on what is right, and zero evidence of any crime or misconduct that rises to an impeachable offence. You do not impeach a duly elected President because you disagree with his views. But that is the only thing that I have seen so far.

*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, Asia* Distributing security responsibility fairly is ultimately positive for all participants in an alliance. But burden sharing is about more than just cash: it’s also about capability, capacity, and will.

GRB190114C: No Longer Speculation, Tera-Electron-Volt Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 12 hours ago
While they last, gamma-ray bursts outshine stars and even galactic quasars. They are the most energetic phenomenon known to humankind, resulting from the formation of neutron stars or black holes as dying stars collapse. They are triggered by outflows of plasma ejected near the speed of light. They usually display energies in the region of tens of giga-electron-volts but why not even greater? Indeed, it is no longer speculation, a gamma-ray burst in the region of a tera-electron-volt has been detected. Which means these energies might actually be common. read more

For World Philosophy Day, Here Are 3 Women You’ve Probably Never Heard Of In The Field Of Big Consciousness

Ask anyone to name a philosopher and they’ll likely name a man. So, let’s turn the spotlight on three women: Mary Calkins, May Sinclair, and Hilda Oakeley. They each defended “idealism” – the idea that consciousness composes, or somehow pervades, the universe we live in. Big consciousness theories are trending right now. Ecologists such as Suzanne Simard argue trees can “talk”, and philosophers such as Philip Goff argue elementary particles exhibit basic forms of consciousness.

Yesterday, there were all kinds of smoking guns in Gordon Sondland's testimony. He exploded all the Republican defences of Donald Trump. Max Boot writes: “Was there a ‘quid pro quo’?” Sondland said under oath. “With regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes.” The sound you hear is Republican denials of a quid pro quo exploding.

Capitalism: The God That Failed

Unknown at The Verma Report - 15 hours ago
Karl Marx was right about the demise of capitalism, but he was wrong about the way in which the demise will happen. He believed that capitalism will face its mortal crisis because all the means of production will be cornered by the capitalist class who, in their lust for improving their profits, will strip the masses of their wealth.
