Fear Keeps Us All In Line
I haven’t heard Roger Waters’ new album— his first in 25 years, released last week— *Is This The Life We Really Want?*, yet, just the title track… which I urge you to listen to too. Sonically, the resemblance to Pink Floyd’s *The Wall*, will make you feel comfortable— and make the austere, even chilling, message, easier to digest and grapple with. I’ve been reading an anthology of essays, edited by Lori Perkins, *1984 In The 21st Century*, which put me right in the proper head space for Waters’ music. In his essay, *How 1984 Can Decode Trump’s First 100 Days*, attorney and self-d... more »

Think America and China Could Go to War? It Already Happened
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* In November 1950, China and the United States went to war. Thirty-six thousand Americans died, along with upwards of a quarter million Chinese, and half a million or more Koreans. If the United States was deeply surprised to find itself at war with the People’s Republic of China, a country that hadn’t even existed the year before, it was even more surprised to find itself losing that war. The opening Chinese offensive, launched from deep within North Korea, took U.S. forces by complete operational surprise. The U.S.-led United Nations offensive in... more »
Until the 1970s, NATO Thought It Would Lose a Conventional War With Russia
*Robert Farley* *Security, Europe* *The belief that NATO would lose a conventional conflict did nothing to contradict the notion that NATO could play a valuable role in deterring war. For one, NATO could certainly make things more difficult for the Soviet Union; overwhelming combined British-German-American forces would prove far more costly than defeating a West Germany that stood alone. Moreover, by triggering an expansion of the war NATO could create costs for the Soviets in other parts of the world. Overwhelming NATO superiority at sea and in long-range airpower would prove d... more »

"The times might be unpleasant, repulsive. The ghastly chaos, the abhorrent incivility might be intolerable, might force us into argument or leave us panic-stricken. On such occasions people build within themselves a conviction that the world outside is diabolical. The whimsical insults test our level of endurance, causing us to plead for mercy, wanting us to be pitied than exploited and victimized.

The BBC’s entrenched bias against Israel.
Since we’re always accusing the BBC of bias against - no, let’s look it it as bias *towards* - certain issues, it’s helpful when sites like ITBB provide extra substance to to back up such claims. There are some inbuilt biases which we believe fatally compromise its impartiality. The BBC’s influence on the public, on the matter of domestic politics at least, is tempered by the fact that they’re speaking to an audience that is familiar with the issues. People have grown up with them and are capable of thinking for themselves. The BBC’s ideological affinity with the Labour Party (not s... more »

Russia's MiG-21: The Fighter Jet That Could Fly for 100 Years?

Saving for Retirement - How Much Is Necessary?
One of the big questions that faces today's Baby Boomers (as well as anyone that plans to retire in the future) is how much of a nest egg is needed to fund one's retirement? Given the increasing usage of high cost drugs, the extremely high cost of long-term care and increasing longevity, this issue is of great importance. A recent analysis by David Blanchett, Michael Finke and Wade Pfau gives us a good sense of what we have to save to fund a retirement, particularly this ultra-low interest rate environment. Those of us that invested during the decades from 1970 to 2000 became quite... more »
Man held by police outside Parliament per BBC News
Interesting how this BBC report http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40303300 on the man arrested outside Parliament is very keen to say that terrorism has not been suggested as a motive. Also note the picture that the BBC choose of the arrested individual shows him from behind and not in close up. There are better photos available, Guido Fawkes has a clear front on photo on his site. Ask yourself why the BBC might choose not to use that photo. BBC bias whether by commission or omission is still bias.

A Few Thoughts
It may be a generational divide as the mandarins suggest. The most recent British elections took an unexpected twist. (note graphic, right) It's not the first time that we've seen generations disagree. In the UK, BREXIT was supported by the older generation for the most part while the younger members of society (who have been brainwashed to love Islam), favored keeping open borders and locking the nation in under the rule of foreign (European) operators. It doesn't take much circumspection to see that one of the larger problems that European nations have rests within the boundaries... more »

When i got into the investment business back in 1972, gold was in serious disrepute. That only began to change when a fee market was once again reinstated in the USA essentially by Nixon. What you need to understand about Gold is that it is the ONLY metal that every human being will accept as valuable simply because he likes it and it truly cannot tarnish. That ladies is called demand. Saying otherwise is real nonsense. Thus price really reflects global population interest which sustains a premium which keeps mining happy. It is first choice for mining because of this. T... more »

That consciousness chooses what is best at every physical level and thus guides. All living creatures are the true minions of GOD and are all free to shape the future to the extent possible.
