70 Years of Disinformation: How the CIA Funded Opinion Magazines in Europe
[image: undefined] When an intelligence agency arranges to disseminated fake news it is called “disinformation” and it is a subset of what is referred to as covert action, basically secret operations run in a foreign country to influence opinion or to disrupt the functioning of a government or group that is considered to be hostile.

It had such low volatility that one could supposedly extinguish a match in a puddle of JP-7.

It'll just push air uselessly against your skin, then blow it out the top or bottom of the holster. There's also the question of security.

Donald Trump and the Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence occupies a far smaller place in Donald Trump’s public rhetoric than in the public rhetoric of any other modern president. Presidential references to the Declaration of Independence or presidential quotations of such phrases as “all men are created equal” rose steadily from 1933 to 2016, in part because presidents gave an increasing number of recorded speeches and issued an increasing number of public proclamations. President Barack Obama mentioned or quoted from the Declaration of Independence an average of 31 times a year when he was in office. Do... more »

The Navy Is Getting Ready for Amphibious War
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * And they have the ship to make sure they are ready.

"I Shall Use My Time..."
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." - Jack London
The Lament of Kant’s Aristotelian Teacher
Immanuel Kant is believed to have attended the lecture of Johann Adam Gregorovius (1681—1749), an Aristotelian professor, in 1740, at the Königsberg University. Gregorovius’s primary concern was to defend Aristotle’s moral philosophy against more modern attempts at ethics. In the *Wöchentliche Nachrichten* of 1741, Gregorovius said, among other things: *I cannot make a secret of the fact that the philosophy of Aristotle has been so maligned and ridiculed since so many new systems have appeared after the beginning of this century… that no dog would take a piece of bread from an Arist... more »

The Poet: Stephen Levine, "Half Life"
*"Half Life"* "We walk through half our life as if it were a fever dream, barely touching the ground, our eyes half open, our heart half closed. Not half knowing who we are, we watch the ghost of us drift from room to room, through friends and lovers never quite as real as advertised. Not saying half we mean or meaning half we say, we dream ourselves from birth to birth seeking some true self. Until the fever breaks and the heart can not abide a moment longer as the rest of us awakens, summoned from the dream, not half caring for anything but love." ~ Stephen Levine

"El Paso: This Town Is Proof That Trump's Wall Can Work"
*El Paso: This Town Is Proof That Trump's Wall Can Work* by Paul Sperry "When charges of “racism” and “xenophobia” fail, Democrats’ fallback argument against President Trump’s proposed border wall is that it simply “won’t work,” so why waste billions building it? Tell that to the residents of El Paso, Texas. Federal data show a far-less imposing wall than the one Trump envisions - a two-story corrugated metal fence first erected under the Bush administration - already has dramatically curtailed both illegal border crossings and crime in Texas’ sixth-largest city, which borders the ... more »

Why Hasn't There Been A Nuclear War?
*Amos Zeeberg, Nautilus:* *Why Hasn’t the World Been Destroyed in a Nuclear War Yet?* When opposing nations gained access to nuclear weapons, it fundamentally changed the logic of war. You might say that it made questions about war more cleanly logical—with nuclear-armed belligerents, there are fewer classic military analyses about morale, materiel, and maneuverings. Hundreds of small-scale tactical decisions dissolve into a few hugely important large-scale strategic ones, like, What happens if one side drops a nuclear bomb on its nuclear-armed opponent? Using a dangerous weapon l... more »

The perfect image on which to end this MLK Day.
The fact that it was drawn by a Haitian just makes it even better. Here is how perhaps our greatest President honored the man we celebrate today. Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 15, 2018 This from the People's President.

Here's Who Would Win Between Nazi Germany's Battleship Bismarck and Japan's Monster Yamato
*Robert Farley* *Security, * It would be a battle for the ages. *Before long, the Japanese begin to reply with their 18.1” guns. Both the Germans and the Japanese have excellent fire control, but the contest is unequal. The fifteen-inch guns of Bismarck and Tirpitz fire at a greater rate than the Japanese guns, but even when they hit, they do relatively little damage to the vitals of the Japanese ships (although they extensively scar the upper works). By contrast, the 18.1” hits begin to do serious damage immediately, plunging into the German ships at great range. Large and wit... more »
The 5 Most Shocking Battleship Battles of All Time
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Although eventually supplanted by the submarine and the aircraft carrier, the battleship took pride of place in the navies of the first half of the twentieth century. *When the German battleship Bismarck entered service in 1941, she became the largest warship in the world, displacing the Royal Navy battlecruiser HMS Hood. In May 1941, the Bismarck sortied from Norway in the company of the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. The Germans planned to use the pair as commerce raiders, with Bismarck drawing off or destroying the capital ship escorts of any convo... more »
Stealth and Speed: America's SR-71 Blackbird Might Be Old (But Still the World's Fastest Plane)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * A jet like no other. *The Blackbird’s design reflected the fact that it was pushing the limits. The crew wore pressure suits like those used on space missions to withstand the high altitudes they were flying at, and were treated to a medical exam and a high-protein steak and egg meals before each mission. The SR-71’s J58 engines could only start through use of two vehicle-mounted V8 starter engines, and the triethylborane used in the fuel would belch green flames during ignition. The J58s would switch to a partial ramjet mode at high speeds, such... more »
