“How small a portion of our life it is that we really enjoy. In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age, we are looking backwards to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day, when we have time.” - Charles Caleb Colton, “Lacon” "The problem is, you believe you have time." - Buddha

"There's No Way Out Of This..."

"There's no way out of this, it's stark: live or die. Every given moment a bubble that bursts. Step on, from one to the next, ever onwards, a rainbow of stepping stones, each bursting softly as your foot touches and passes on. Till one step finds only empty air. Till that step, live." - Carol Birch

A teenager held her phone steady enough to capture the final moments of George Perry Floyd’s life as he apparently suffocated under the weight of a Minneapolis police officer’s knee on his neck.

History Lesson: How Nazi Germany Waged “Lightning War” in World War II

The ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu wrote, “Go forth to the enemy’s positions to which he must race. Race forth where he does not expect it.” There is no record that Adolf Hitler ever studied Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, but he certainly understood many of its principles, at least during the early phases of World War II.

Why Did the U.S. Air Force Send B1 Bombers to Russia’s Doorstep?

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] What could go wrong? Earlier this month, a pair of Air Force B-1B Lancers flew from Anderson Air Force Base in Guam to Alaska and back. In Alaska, the two bombers conducted a “large force employment exercise” in the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex. The crews then flew southwest to Japan where they “completed familiarization training in support of U.S. European Command objectives,” according to a U.S. Air Force press release. Then, the two B-1Bs “continued south in the vicinity of Misawa, Japan integrating with the USS Ronald... more »

Japan's Type 11 Light Machine Gun: The Worst Machine Gun of All Time?

Peter Suciu at The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Technology, Asia* A World War II disaster. You decide. When it comes to military small arms there is always a debate over "The Best"—but equally debatable is what were some of the worst. The years leading up to and during the Second World War saw some truly excellent firearms developed, including the U.S. M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun, and notably the German MG-34 and MG-42 general purpose machine guns. However, the Japanese military earns the prize for developing what was perhaps the worst machine gun of World War II and possibly of all time. Meet the Type 11.... more »

Sickness Is The Health Of The State!

David Stockman at 9 hours ago
[image: undefined] A hundred years ago in response to the horror of WWI, the great Randolph Bourne famously pronounced the truth that “War is the Health of the State.” Said Bourne, War is the health of the State. It automatically sets in motion throughout society those irresistible forces for uniformity, for passionate co-operation with the Government in coercing into obedience the minority groups and individuals which lack the larger herd sense. The machinery of government sets and enforces the drastic penalties, the minorities are either intimidated into silence or brought slowl... more »

Horse racing is big, or at least pretends to be, in Maryland. Pimlico during Preakness is bedlam.

BAP Calls On United Nations To Address U.S. Human Rights Crisis

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
The extrajudicial murders of African/Black people, such as Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, by agents of the U.S. government and armed civilians have sparked urban rebellions in cities across the United States. Yet these murders cannot be understood outside of the context of the U.S. state’s ongoing assault on the human rights of African/Black people. U.S. President Donald Trump’s tweet demanding lethal violence—“...when the looting starts, the shooting starts...”—requires the United Nations to intervene. Trump’s threat comes as the U.S. state has tragically failed ... more »

Media Smeared Ahmaud Arbery After His Lynching

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
While it took two and a half months for the authorities to finally make arrests in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, corporate media were much quicker to follow the time-honored practice of besmirching victims of racist violence (FAIR.org, 3/22/17). First they kill your body. Then they kill your reputation. When white supremacy is the foundation of the US’s media, political, legal and corporate system, victims of racist violence are often killed twice in this way. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation on May 7 arrested former cop Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34,... more »
