WHO Official Urges Halt to Lockdowns as Primary CCP Virus Control Method
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Knowing what we know today. the lockdowns were never necessary. Sweden is proof. At least Navarro is comong out and telling us. Maybe this sets the stage for all restrictive measures to soon end. After all, all we ever needed to do was protect the care homes in particular and to jump on symptomatic folks ASAP with quinine at least.

Are Trees Spontaneously Combusting Because of 5G? Scientist Says It’s Possible
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is an odd claim that needs to be checked carefully. Ponderosa pine country is already at ignition point thanks to outgassing and we do need to know if a close by tower can act as an accelerant. This is not unreasonable and also fixable by simple tree removal. We continue to see a lot of fear mongering and scant scvience regarding 5G risks and this compare to the outcry regarding 4G 3G etc releases. Oh yes, we have had this before. The good news is that brain tumors have not become more common. I do not know what other damge it may do. *Are Trees Spontaneously Combusti...

Milton Friedman Versus Stakeholder Capitalism
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct 13 (IPS) - Milton Friedman was arguably the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century, associated with promoting ‘neo-liberal', free-market, shareholder capitalism. Friedman's monetarist economics is now widely considered irrelevant, if not wrong, especially with the low inflation associated with ‘unconventional' monetary policies following the 2008-2009 global financial crisis.

Why China Is Losing The Global Public Relations Battle
Elisabeth Braw, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Elisabeth Braw* *Security, Asia* Here’s Beijing’s problem: It takes us for fools. Heard about how ethnic minorities in Xinjiang province dance beautifully because they’re so happy and carefree? Thought so. It’s safe to say that nobody had heard of those happily dancing minorities in Xinjian province (hint: Uighur internment camps) until China’s ambassador to Belgium presented them in a tweet this week. The hapless ambassador is not the only Chinese official failing in his outreach efforts. According to a new Pew poll, negative views on China are skyrocketing in the West. That’s ...

*by Noah* Remember this clown? Dr. Harold Bornstein? Do I really even have to ask if he has any credibility? Would you believe him or any Trump doctor who told you anything about any subject at all? Bornstein is the quack who, during the 2016 campaign, signed his name a letter to America which stretched the boundaries of hyperbole in stating that Donald J. Biohazard was a perfect specimen in top physical health; a gold standard specimen if you will!

Biden Flies Across America to Rally with Ten People Causing Climate Catastrophe
Charles R. Anderson, Ph.D., An Objectivist Individualist - 21 hours ago
For a man who tells us that the Earth and Mankind face an existential crisis due to the use of fossil fuels, Joe Biden does not hesitate to fly across the United States to give a "rally" for ten followers. Our energy future is to be put on a starvation diet, while Joe Biden spews carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Is this just his megalomania, consistent with his belief that the American People do not deserve to know whether he will pack the Supreme Court? Or does this mean Joe understands that the Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming theory is really just a scam for the Social...

The Naval Armed Guard Conducted Extremely Dangerous Missions with Shockingly Little Equipment
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Pacific* Assigned to protect merchant sailors, these members of the U.S. Naval Armed Guard were unsung heroes of World War II. They have been called “the other Navy,” the “Navy’s stepchildren,” and perhaps most fittingly, “the forgotten Navy.” Officially, however, they were the Naval Armed Guard or more simply the Armed Guard (AG). Often mistaken for members of the Merchant Marine, the Armed Guard was a special branch of the U.S. Navy assigned to defend merchant ships against enemy attack. Its history is one of the most dramatic of World War II...
The World's Southernmost Tree is in Danger of Shifting Winds
Brian Buma, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Brian Buma* *Environment, South America* On the southern tip of Chile, a tree grows facing the Antarctic ocean. But wind, not temperature, determines where trees can survive on this island. Climate change is shifting those wind patterns. In 2019, my research team and I found the world’s southernmost tree on an island at the edge of South America. The diminutive tree is 42 years old, stretches several meters along the ground but is only half a meter, or about a foot and a half, tall. In some other place, this tree would grow tall and upright, but here, incredible winds warp and c...

Fact: Being Outside Doesn't Mean You're Immune to Coronavirus (Even at the White House)
Thomas A. Russo, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Thomas A. Russo* *Public Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] Here are some answers about the risks outdoors. If you think you’re safe from the coronavirus just because you’re outdoors, think again. While the wind and the large volume of air make the outdoors less risky than being indoors, circumstances matter. Someone who is infectious can cough or sneeze, or just talk and, if you happen to inhale those respiratory droplets or they plop into your eye, you can get infected. If you shake hands with an infected person and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth, you also run a chance o...
Coronavirus And Growing Demand For Meat Leaves Asia Vulnerable To The Next Pandemic
Arve Hansen, Jostein Jakobsen, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Arve Hansen, Jostein Jakobsen* *Security, Asia* High levels of meat consumption in affluent countries around the world depend on cheap, factory-farmed meat. While parts of East Asia have long been home to meat-intensive diets, the last couple of decades have seen the production, trade and consumption of meat increase dramatically. The region is undergoing a dramatic process of what geographer Tony Weis has dubbed ‘meatification’. This change has led to the emergence of an Asian ‘meat complex’ tying Asian countries to each other and to the larger world through the medium of meat ...
Between China And Coronavirus, Taiwan Needs A New Model For Economic Growth
Min-Hua Chiang, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Min-Hua Chiang* *Economics, Asia* It is important for Taiwan to retain the ability to be responsive to the dynamic global economy. Taiwan’s economy has held up relatively well thanks to a quick and effective response to COVID-19. The latest official figures showed that Taiwan’s GDP in the first half of the year grew by 0.78 per cent, year-on-year. Domestic demand contributed 0.51 per cent and net exports made up 0.27 per cent. Apart from the lingering impact of the global pandemic, Taiwan’s economy is also challenged by the uncertainty of US–China relations. Exports of electro...
Low‐​Income Housing Tax Credits Are a Scam. Here's Why.
Randal O'Toole, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Randal O'Toole* *Society, Americas* High‐​cost housing is being built using affordable housing subsidies in many states. Since 1986, low‐​income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) are the main way in which the federal government tries to increase the amount of affordable housing for low‐​income families. Yet they have become an enormous scam that allows non‐​profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity to pad their budgets building expensive housing that is mostly rented to middle‐​income people. As described in this 2017 Cato Institute bulletin, the Internal Revenue Service al...

Coetzee’s Diary of a Bad Year
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
Is 2020 the worst year? There have been several years in history when the human experience has been much worse than in this year. I look at 2020 as the year when the intellectual, technological, and political establishment in most advanced democracies have become totally deranged. Here’s a quote from J. M. Coetzee’s 2007 book *Diary of a Bad Year*: “Michel de Montaigne’s young friend Etienne de La Boetie, writing in 1549, saw the passivity of the populations vis-a-vis their rulers as first an acquired and then later an inherited vice, an obstinate “will to be ruled” that becomes ...

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The record-setting flight of the Rodina captured the attention of the Soviet people. During the last weekend of September 1938, the attention of the world’s capitals was transfixed by the diplomatic pas de deux Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain were enacting to determine the fate of Czechoslovakia and ultimately the world. All, that is, but one—Moscow. Muskovites were preoccupied with plans for a record-breaking, nonstop “aeroplane” flight by three intrepid Russian aviatrixes.

Judge Barrett and the Affordable Care Act
Gerard N. Magliocca, Balkinization - 3 hours ago
The first day of Judge Barrett's confirmation hearings is a good example of how political considerations can get in the way of a clear understanding of the relevant legal issues or concerns. Case in point. Democrats spent most of today arguing that Judge Barrett will probably vote to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act. The problem is that we have a contrary piece of information. In a moot of *Texas v. California *held not long ago, Judge Barrett (according to media reports) reached the opposite conclusion. Thus, the relevant question is whether Judge Barrett should recuse h...
