Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* At the Battle of the Somme, British and French commanders learned the hard lesson that advancing technology had changed the nature of combat. The British soldiers that left the relative safety of their trenches to go over the top on the first day of the Battle of the Somme on July 1, 1916, may well have expected that a week-long artillery bombardment of German positions had either killed every enemy soldier to their front or so incapacitated them that the attack would be an easy success. In reality the situation was quite different. *R...

Meet The Sten Gun: The $10 Weapon That Saved Great Britain in World War II
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Technology, Europe* After the defeat of France and the retreat from Dunkirk in 1940, Great Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany and needed a new weapon—one that could provide more firepower but also would be cheap to produce. That weapon was the Sten Gun. There is no denying that the machine gun changed the modern battlefield in ways no one expected—military planners saw the potential in how the weapons increased the rate of fire and provided a powerful defense. Because of the weight of the weapons, the early machine guns couldn't be readily used in an offensi...

Bill Gates Outspends U.S. Government and Provides $18 BILLION to WHO for COVID Vaccines
AdminM, Health Impact News - 7 hours ago
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced today their plan to vaccinate every person on the planet with a COVID-19 vaccine. In order to do this, they have received $18 BILLION from two organizations funded by Bill Gates: GAVI and the Vaccine Alliance and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). It is hard to keep track how much money the U.S. Government has given Big Pharma companies to develop a COVID vaccine, but I believe it is still less than $5 BILLION. That means Bill Gates has just outspent the U.S. Government for COVID vaccine development by about 3 to...

"There's only one question that matters, and it's the one you never get around to asking. People are capable of varying degrees of truth. The majority spend their entire lives fabricating an elaborate skein of lies, immersing themselves in the faith of bad faith, doing whatever it takes to feel safe. The person who truly lives has precious few moments of safety, learns to thrive in any kind of storm. It's the truth you can stare down stone-cold that makes you what you are. Weak or strong. Live or die. Prove yourself. How much truth can you take?" - Karen Marie Moning
