*Reuters: **U.S. intelligence watchdog says it will encourage whistleblowers to come forward* The U.S. National Security Agency’s top oversight official, Robert Storch, is working to repair the spy agency’s reputation with whistleblowers in an effort to encourage staff to report wrongdoing internally, rather than go public. “It’s really important we encourage whistleblowers to come forward and that they feel comfortable doing so and if there are allegations of reprisal then we take that very seriously,” Storch said in an interview with Reuters last week.

This afternoon, our friends at Vote Common Good pulled the big tour bus up to the Miller Park Pavilion in Omaha and did an evangelical "Flip Congress" rally with progressive Democrat Kara Eastman. Tuesday the bus will be at Wichita Farm and Art Market Plaza in Wichita for a rally with another progressive candidate, James Thompson.

*Loreena McKennitt, "Dante's Prayer"* - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vexBRWeeBts "When the dark wood fell before me, And all the paths were overgrown, When the priests of pride say there is no other way, I tilled the sorrows of stone. I did not believe because I could not see, Though you came to me in the night. When the dawn seemed forever lost, You showed me your love in the light of the stars... Cast your eyes on the ocean, Cast your soul to the sea, When the dark night seems endless, Please remember me... Then the mountain rose before me, By the deep well of desire. From the fou... more »

“What's going on in the center of this spiral galaxy? Named the Sombrero Galaxy for its hat-like resemblance, M104 features a prominent dust lane and a bright halo of stars and globular clusters. Reasons for the Sombrero's hat-like appearance include an unusually large and extended central bulge of stars, and dark prominent dust lanes that appear in a disk that we see nearly edge-on. Billions of old stars cause the diffuse glow of the extended central bulge. * Click image for larger size.* Close inspection of the bulge in the above photograph shows many points of light that are actu... more »

Chet Raymo, “Whence Ourselves?”

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 hour ago
*“Whence Ourselves?”* by Chet Raymo “My post of yesterday took me back to David S. Goodsell's "The Machinery of Life," and I found myself reading the book again. There is nothing I didn't already know, but it's worth reading again for the same reason one might read, say, "Anna Karenina" or "Moby Dick" several times in the course of a life. In fact, Goodsell's book would be a good candidate for the one science book I would recommend to someone stuck on a desert island. Step by step he takes us through the molecular machinery shared by all life on Earth. Humans have a lot more in com... more »

"Curveballs..."

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 hour ago
"Just when we think we figured things out, the universe throws us a curveball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong." - "Dr. Meredith Grey", "Grey's Anatomy"

"Why Should I Explain Everything?"

"There is a difference between a question and a wonder. I would prefer to answer only questions that will be useful to you. A child looks up at the starry sky at night and wonders. He is filled with the joy of the mystery of creation. Why should I explain everything to you and take away that joy? I will not. The purpose of my words is to create silence, to create joy. I am not here to stuff your head full of knowledge. A child starts out innocent. You ask him something and he says, "I don't know." Then that child grows up and thinks he knows everything. I'll teach you something. I'... more »

*"Mother To Son"* "Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor - Bare. But all the time I'se been a-climbin' on, And reachin' landin's, And turnin' corners, And sometimes goin' in the dark Where there ain't been no light. So, boy, don't you turn back. Don't you set down on the steps. 'Cause you finds it's kinder hard. Don't you fall now - For I'se still goin', honey, I'se still climbin', And life for me ain't been no crystal stair." - Langston Hughes

"Why?"; "Because"

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 hour ago
"Is there an answer to the question of why bad things happen to good people? The response would be… to forgive the world for not being perfect, to forgive God for not making a better world, to reach out to the people around us, and to go on living despite it all, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it has happened." - Harold S. Kushner "There is much asked and only so much I think I can or should answer, and so, in this post I would like to give a few thoughts on what seemed to be the overwhelming question: "WHY?"

"The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act... more »

*"You Can Kick The Can Down The Road,* * But Reality Will Catch Up With You Eventually"* by Michael Snyder "Nobody can defy the laws of economics forever. Whether it is an individual, a company or the nation as a whole, reality always catches up with everyone eventually. For years, I have been warning that Sears was eventually going to zero, but of course it didn’t happen immediately.

In recent years I have watched many hours of videos having to do with the Ur-alt, global civilization(s) that existed on this planet many thousands of years ago. During my life I have also visited many ancient sites in Europe, North America, Central America, South America, Turkey and Egypt, as well as having read very widely for many years and spoken with others who have knowledge of ancient civilizations. The sum result of all of my literary, Internet and personal explorations and conversations is the understanding that we have been massively lied to in school and at university. We... more »

The Reality of Armed, Commercial Drones

Kathryn Dura at Test Feed Using Fields - 3 hours ago
*Kathryn Dura* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The combination of availability and munition capability makes the armament of commercial drones a significant civilian and military concern. Motivated by the threat of terrorist drones, the House recently approved the “Preventing Emerging Threats Act of 2018” and the Senate is expected to follow suit. The bill allows Homeland Security and the Justice Department to detect, track, and even destroy an unmanned aircraft. This law comes on the heels of the drone-based assassination attempt against Venezuelan President Nicolas Madur... more »

An End to the War in Afghanistan

*Jeffrey Stacey* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] For the first time in history, Afghanistan's neighbors have joint interests in seeing the country become stable. As violence from Taliban attacks in Afghanistan remains unabated, and the hoped for ceasefire during Eid al-Adha did not materialize, it is worth reflecting on how ripe the conditions are for peace are in Afghanistan and how a rare geopolitical window of opportunity has opened up for the more powerful countries that regularly intervene in Afghanistan. The Taliban came close to agreeing to another ceasefire, deci... more »

The Cold War Choice (with China)

Evan Sankey at Test Feed Using Fields - 3 hours ago
*Evan Sankey* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Americans need to insist that they have choices for how to manage geopolitical power struggles apart from the status quo reflexive military defense. The current atmosphere in U.S.-China relations recalls the early years of America’s long confrontation with the Soviet Union—and not only because the phrase “cold war” is increasingly used with abandon. Then, as now, a conciliatory Washington, DC consensus was breaking apart in the face of apparent Eurasian treachery. Then, as now, U.S. government policies and pronouncements began to r... more »

Spreading disinformation - we can fight it with wagers

David Brin at CONTRARY BRIN - 4 hours ago
Alas, the "Union" side in this already-ignited civil war appears to have no generals. At least none with any sense of where the battlefield really is. It is all about the notion of "fact" or objective reality. The top-foremost aim of the other side -- the mafiosi who have taken Washington and who are sweeping the globe -- has been to undermine every profession that deals in evidence, proof and the testing of assertions. From science to journalism to "deep state" law and intelligence agencies and the U.S. military officer corps -- all are denounced at every rally and Fox show. No ... more »

Lee and other examples of the greatest traitors in world history. “So Robert E. Lee was a great general and Abraham Lincoln developed a phobia. He couldn’t beat Robert E. Lee.

They were the greatest people,” the president said to inhabitants of a state that wasn't part of the Confederacy and had abolished slavery by 1802. “There was only ... more »

The back with two beasts

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 9 hours ago
Below you'll find two transcripts concerning the BBC's editorial policy regarding climate change. I'll use this post then to shove in my tuppenceworth. I've said before that I find that BBC TV's *Newswatch *and Radio 4's *Feedback* are different beasts. You're more likely to hear complaints of the kind *we* make on *Newswatch *than you are on *Feedback*. And *Newswatch *tries to project a more impartial style than *Feedback*, with Samira Ahmed taking more care to appear even-handed than Roger Bolton. And *Feedback* does seem to me to be more agenda-driven than *Newswatch*. So ... more »

Dynasty

Yet more about Charlotte Moore, albeit in passing... In her Steve Hewlett Memorial Lecture this week, she described the new three-part BBC Two series *A Dangerous Dynasty: House of Assad *as a "must-see" programme. So, being an obedient soul, I obeyed and watched the first episode. And it really is excellent. The opening programme took us up to 2003, three years after the death of the Don Corleone of the family, Hafez al-Assad, and the assumption of power by his Michael Corleone-like second son Bashar. Old Hafez, a skull with a moustache, always struck me as a wrong 'un, but I d... more »

Why Must America Prepare to Fight Two Wars Simultaneously?

Michael Peck at Test Feed Using Fields - 9 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* [image: Photo by Capt. Joseph Legros] Can we afford it? Should the U.S. military be strong enough to fight two major wars simultaneously? Or is such a gargantuan effort more than America should be expected to bear? A pillar of American defense policy has been the ability of the United States to successfully engage in two major conflicts—think Russia or China—or big regional conflicts like war with North Korea. Yet the U.S. military lacks the strength to fight two major conflicts simultaneously, according to a report by the Heritage Foundation. The... more »

How NOT to win friends and influence customers

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 10 hours ago
What's the old saying? "Make sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear." A British banker should have borne that in mind. Banks are facing a furious reaction from customers after saying they should foot the compensation bill for fraud by paying a tax on every transaction made. UK Finance chief Stephen Jones told MPs on the Treasury committee today that banks shouldn't always have to cover the costs when criminals con people into transferring money out of their accounts. A tiny levy on each payment made in the UK could be a solution to covering the rising cost of such sc... more »

The Tremonton UFO Film and Haddaway

We have a list of cases, even if we don’t mention it, that seem, on their face, to be inexplicable. They have some form of instrumentality involved which means we are not relying on the observations of the witnesses. Ed Ruppelt One of these cases is the film taken near Tremonton, Utah, in July 1952, by Navy Warrant Officer Delbert Newhouse. It shows a bunch of lights dancing around in a bright blue sky.
