Russia Wants To Take Over The Arctic. Announces Arctic Military Modernization And Buildup
*(Click on Image to Enlarge)* *Business Insider:** This map shows Russia's game-changing militarization of the Arctic* As the Arctic warms, Russia is positioning itself to become the dominant player in a resource-rich and strategically positioned region.

It's no coincidence that M*A*S*H, one of the best and most daring sitcoms of all time, first aired in 1972.

That risk-taking extended right down to network television, bringing realism and social commentary to a level previously unseen - and not... more »

This blog has had occasion to comment on the decadence and stupidity of our Tory party friends. This isn't an *ad hom* attack, it's a properly social scientific concept - honest.

The Russian-Harvard Privatization Back Story
The Nation Through the late summer and fall of 1991, as the Soviet state fell apart, Harvard Professor Jeffrey Sachs and other Western economists participated in meetings at a dacha outside Moscow where young, pro-Yeltsin reformers planned Russia’s economic and political future. Sachs teamed up with Yegor Gaidar, Yeltsin’s first architect of economic reform, to promote a plan of “shock therapy” to swiftly eliminate most of the price controls and subsidies that had underpinned life for Soviet citizens for decades. Shock therapy produced more shock–not least, hyperinflation that hi... more »

New production process makes PLA bioplastic cheaper and greener

Kennedy Assasination Pattern
What is presently interesting is that a number of witnesses have come forward to tell their stories in often self published books.

At least we will not try to stuff it all into the long failed and totally discredited lone gunman theory.
