De-Regulating the Would-Be Masters of the Universe and Re-Regulating the Rest
After his election, Trump told his administration to reach out to regulated industries and ask them to re-write their regulations. I've previously blogged about the fallout in the oil industry as post-BP oil spill crisis regulations are being lifted (see here). Trump clearly favors the short-term economic interests of big oil, coal, and nuclear over human health and the environment. Trump's new rules for the nuclear industry would allow reactors to run up to 80 years despite clear scientific evidence that reactors become embrittled by radiation over time (see see Bloomberg here). ...more »
Normalcy and the Presidential Subpoena
While predicting what is likely to come next in the unfolding legal drama surrounding the President seems something of a fool’s errand, the prospect that Special Counsel Robert Mueller might subpoena the President to compel him to testify before a federal grand jury now seems at least plausible enough to have prompted more than a little commentary on the constitutionality of such a move. Most views cluster around the conclusion I tend to share: the question whether the President can be compelled to testify was formally left open by *United States v. Nixon*, but the considerations ... more »

The Old Paradigm
In Ontario, the conventional wisdom dictates that elections are won in the middle. That wisdom goes all the way back to the 1940's, when the Progressive Conservatives won 12 consecutive elections. Steve Paikin writes: In 1943, the Tories had a 49-year-old war veteran named George Drew (born 124 years ago today) as their leader. He was the first politician to speak of a “Big Blue Machine,” one that would fan out across the province, capturing constituency after constituency. And for the next 42 years, that’s pretty much what happened. The Tories occupied the broad middle of the pol... more »
Is China's New Aircraft Carrier in Trouble?
*Asia Times* *Security, * Some reports might suggest so. A transport helicopter was spotted ascending from and then landing on China’s first home-made aircraft carrier last weekend, although the yet-to-be-christened seagoing airbase was still moored at a pier in the Dalian Shipyard in the northeastern province of Liaoning, defying speculations of an imminent sea trial. Chinese state media including the Global Times have confirmed that a Changhe Z-18 helicopter – modeled on the French SA 321 Super Frelon – that entered service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) just rece... more »
Israeli Intelligence Coup Could Help Trump “Fix” the Iran Deal
Photo Credit: Jack Guez/AFP/Getty Images via Foreign Policy *Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared on *Order from Chaos*.* Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dramatic April 30 presentation on Israel’s acquisition of Iran’s nuclear weapons development archives was intended not to strengthen the Iran nuclear deal but to drive the last nail into its coffin. But in the now-unlikely event that President Trump were to decide to waive sanctions again before May 12 and keep the nuclear deal alive, the Israeli intelligence coup could be used effectively to help remedy wh... more »
The Role of Norms in Internet Security: Reputation and its Limits
Who maintains the security and stability of the internet—and how do they do it? It’s a simple question, but a difficult one to answer. Internet security, writ large, comprises a diverse set of social and technical tools and an equally diverse set of industry norms around mitigating and remediating abusive behavior. Those tools are developed and used by what I term operational security communities—groups of individuals, largely unaffiliated with governments, that do the day-to-day work of maintaining the security and stability of the internet. What these communities actually do, an... more »

A New Report Reveals Why There Won't Be Any 'New' F-22 Raptors
*TNI Staff* *Security, * And the logic is simple. A 2017 Pentagon report to Congress detailing production retail costs for Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor show that reviving the powerful stealth air superiority fighter would be prohibitively expensive. Moreover, it would take so long to reconstitute the production line that it would not be until the mid to late 2020s before the first “new” F-22s would have flown. By that time, the F-22 would be increasingly challenged by enemy—Russian and Chinese—capabilities. “The timeline associated with pursuing F-22 production restart would s... more »
