War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 14 hours ago
*Leonid Bershidsky, Bloomberg:* *Zimbabwe's Coup Is Nothing to Celebrate* But there is a valuable lesson for other dictators looking to hold onto power. As leader of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe has survived longer than Stalin in the Soviet Union and Mao in China. If it's coming to an end -- which seems likely given his apparent inability to emerge from house arrest after the military took charge -- it's worth reflecting on the mistakes he made to end such a remarkable run. Daniel Treisman, a UCLA political scientist, argued in a recent paper that most dictators fall for reasons prov... more »

If you've never heard of the Coandă effect . . .

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
. . . it's how this plane flies. The Coandă effect (named for its discoverer) is the way in which a jet of air (or, for that matter, water) will travel over the surfaces adjacent to it, whether they're straight or curved. This allows an aircraft utilizing the effect to direct air from its engines across the curved surface of its wing, providing greater lift at low speeds, which in turn shortens the takeoff and landing speed significantly.

A recent release from WikiLeaks received almost no traction in the global mainstream media, however, this release provides us with an inside look at how the Central Intelligence Agency uses its own malware to impersonate a key Russian cybersecurity company. This subject is particularly pertinent given Washington's obsession with all things Russian since the alleged hacking of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. According to the documents released by Wikileaks, "*Hive*" is a major component of the CIA's infrastructure to control its malware which is used to hack, record and even co... more »

Fires, and fighting them

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 21 hours ago
I've had the misfortune to be caught in two building fires. One was in a military barracks in South Africa, back in the 1970's. Over a hundred of us had to make our way through smoke-filled corridors to the emergency exits at either end of the building, because the genius (genii?) who designed it had failed to specify windows with openings (or panes of glass) large enough for people to escape through them. After it was all over, and we'd stopped hacking up our lungs from smoke inhalation, a lot of us expressed quite vehement opinions about that. The second was in Louisiana in 20... more »

US Cuts Funds for Disarming Explosives It Dropped on Cambodia

*Château de Peyrelade* dates back to at least the 12th-century. Objects discovered in this area date back to prehistoric times. (YouTube Tour) There are some who dispute the value of a compound. However, history shows that it's better to be hard than soft. And it's better that people don't know precisely where you are or what your defensive measures are -- until it's too late. I do not argue that entropy takes everything that we are and everything that we build. That's obvious.
