Your Tuesday morning Russia investigation news dump. So much to see here.
I already wrote about that deal for another Trump property in Russia yesterday, which also featured this Felix Slater fella. However that was only the tip of the bad news iceberg for Donald Trump.

Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex "One of the benefits that oppression secures for the oppressor is that the humblest among them feels *superior*: in the United States a 'poor white' from the South can console himself for not being a 'dirty nigger'; and more prosperous whites cleverly exploit this pride. Likewise, the most mediocre of males believes himself a demigod next to women." For all those (men) suffering from an inferiority complex, this is a miraculous liniment; no one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or more disdainful than a man anxious about his own virili... more »

But what is the danger, specifically? It is less about the actual ability of North Korea to hit the continental United States with a nuclear weapon.

Electric Universe - Bob Johnson - revisiting the Electric Sun

Plasma rocket on track to 100 hour firing at 100 kilowatts in 2018
This technology is very important so long as we desire an impulse Drive. Way more important we will have a space drive able to operate without the burden of large fuel supplies and to do so continuously. This actually puts the entire solar system in easy reach from a low Earth orbit space station. The reason for this is that a craft underway will fire continuously to the point of turnover and then fire continuously until the point of orbit matching at the destination. All this means is that our craft will achieve appreciable fractions of light speed. . *PRESS RELEASE 0... more »
Genetically modified pigs as human organ transplantation source

US Army Retrofit Upgrading all Abrams tanks with better armor, power and electronic systems
It is a thirty year old tank. It makes good sense that the battle armor budget can be improved on. Yet after saying all that, what really is needed is to swap in an engine that uses the power system we have understood through the original work by Tesla. The machine becomes independent of fuel. the design was designed to allow swap ups of the electronics so that is no issue. The next full redesign will include such power and also gravity control plates that may even allow it to float along in the air as well.

US Army will make lighter and more comfortable bulletproof clothing from synthetic spider silk
This means that we are close to a retail deliverable. This can be in the form of a light windbreaker and a full head hood as well. My point is that such a fabric will stop ordinary fire arms well enough to make an actual kill difficult. Damage still must occur but actual penetration can be made rare. The best answer to gang violence is to have a popular protection that easily allows the victim to then either run or actually respond. This will do it. Such a thin fiber can also be blended into the shell of a car as well and perhaps even into the auto glass sandwich itself.... more »
