Back To The Past-- Into The Future... Paul Manafort, Trump's Campaign Manager, A Putin Guy
It's late in September, 2018 and you're at home in Omaha, on North 24th Street between Cuming and Burt neatly tucked between Creighton University and the McDonald's, glued to the TV screen. Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell have basically been covering nothing but the two Manafort trials that started in July and August. The whole country is talking about nothing else. It's the closest we're going to get to a Trump trial until after he's impeached. The Manafort daily revelations have been stunning and tonight is no different.

The Great White Rant, Revisited
Just as Donald Trump regularly dehumanizes dark-skinned people, incurring the requisite (and much-desired) outrage from all who claim to be decent, so too is he uncannily proficient at then turning the tables upon the decently outraged. In typical gaslighting fashion, Trump is calling the outraged media and citizens to account for their coverage of and reaction to his latest "animals" remark aimed at undocumented immigrants. He lambasted the outraged, saying that if they'd been paying close enough attention to his well-known nuanced verbal skills, they would have noticed he was aga... more »

How Taiwan Would Defend Itself from a Decapitation Strike (By China)
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * Is Taipei prepared for the unthinkable? In military terms, a “decapitation” strike refers to the practice of targeting a country’s top leadership in the opening hours of a war — cutting off the head of an enemy army and its political system. Taiwan, situated close to China with its many ways of carrying out such an attack, is vulnerable. Remote though it may seem, Taiwan takes the possibility seriously enough to treat defending against decapitation to be among its top military priorities under its “resolute defense” doctrine. China also seems to ...more »

Justin Trudeau vs respect for the truth

Kant, Hamann, and the Rise of the Sturm und Drang
A 20th century drawing of Johann Georg HamannJohann Georg Hamann (1730-1788) had been deeply influenced by the Enlightenment ideals, but due to the personal problems that he experienced during his stay in London in 1757-58, he had a religious awakening and he slowly fought his way back to the belief that God and church were the only salvation not only for himself, but for everyone. When he returned to Königsberg in March of 1759, he was a changed man—he had discarded his belief in the Enlightenment ideas which he had shared with several friends, and intellectuals like Immanuel Kant... more »
