Svar till Anders Kumlanders debattinlägg publicerat på Dagens Samhälle 2019-05-22
Det är en ödets ironi — eller är det karma? — att antroposoferna utsätts för så frekventa attacker av lögner och förtal. Över huvud taget är det spännande att kritik av antroposofiska verksamheter tycks näst inpå omöjlig; standardrepliken från antroposofisk sida är: lögner och förtal. Jag kan skriva detta utan att hålla med i all … Continue reading Svar till Anders Kumlanders debattinlägg publicerat på Dagens Samhälle 2019-05-22 →

The Technical Consequences of Trump’s Telecom Supply Chain Emergency
Photo: White House On May 15, President Trump once again declared a national emergency to invoke legal authority to make sweeping changes to U.S. policy, this time to secure the telecommunications supply chain. I’ve already made my views clear on Huawei’s suitability for U.S. markets and the need for a blanket ban on Chinese-sourced telecommunications equipment in U.S. infrastructure. It may surprise *Lawfare* readers to hear that, though it purports to address a serious security threat, this executive order actually troubles me greatly.

*Gun News Daily* *Security, * Here are some basic tips to make the right call. Proper planning is what separates true survivors from the rest. If a survival scenario were to arise, such as after a natural disaster or economic collapse, are you prepared to care for your family? Having the best survival rifle on hand can help you weather the storm. But how do you choose the right one for your situation?

Trump's New Policy Problem: Congress Wants to Pump More Funding into the United Nations
*Brett D. Schaefer* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] This state and foreign operations bill could inappropriately tie the hands of the administration and create confusion. The sausage-making process of constructing legislation in Washington generally interests only DC insiders seeking to glean some benefit. But the 2020 State and Foreign Operations funding bill now under consideration in the House merits broader scrutiny. The bill is not only costly—allocating more than $2 billion higher than fiscal year 2019 and nearly $14 billion more than the president’s budget request—it... more »
Washington Has Become a Warmonger's Paradise
*Paul R. Pillar* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Donald Trump needs to reclaim control over his policy toward Iran. The current crisis atmosphere in U.S.-Iranian relations, in which the risk of open warfare appears greater than it has been in years, is solely, unequivocally due to the policies and actions of the Trump administration. To point this out does not mean that actions of the Iranian regime have not come to be part of the crisis atmosphere as well. It instead means that such an atmosphere would never have existed in the first place if the administration had not... more »
The Trade War Is Not Only About Trade
*Samuel Rines* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] Washington is in a long-game with Beijing over ideology and socioeconomic systems.

It would all get sorted out quickly, and world trade would adjust to the new rules ironed out between the economic giants.
