F-52 Fighter: The Best Stealth Fighter America Never Built?
*TNI Staff* *Security, * It only exists in video games. Sorry. *Key Point:* President Donald Trump suggested back in early 2018 to reporters that the United States had delivered the F-52 to Norway. The statement was obviously a mistake; there is no such thing as an F-52 yet. The aircraft only exists in the context of a video game called “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare”—however, there was once a real world concept that looks similar to the fiction jet. “In November we started delivering the first F-52s and F-35 fighter jets,” Trump said. “We have a total of 52 and they’ve delive... more »
Japan's Failed Twice to Track North Korean Missiles
*Stratfor Worldview* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] We've got a problem. *Key point:* No missile defense is perfect, but the failure to track a missile makes the hard task of shooting one down even more difficult. What Happened: Sources within the Japanese Self-Defense Forces told the Japan Times that both land- and sea-based missile tracking systems failed on at least two occasions to follow the trajectories of short-range missiles fired by North Korea during a series of tests it has conducted since May, the newspaper reported Sept. 23. Why it Matters: During the tests, the ... more »
The U.S. Marines Are Using F-35s To Bring the Fight to China, Russia, and Iran
*David Axe* *Security, * Powerful capabilities. *Key point (This first appeared in 2016): *America may be able to penetrate enemy anti-access/aerial-denial zones. The U.S. Marine Corps said it would soon begin testing its F-35B stealth fighters with the U.S. Navy’s new fire-control network. If the testing leads to operational use, the Marines’ F-35s could function essentially as fast, armed, radar-evading surrogates for the Navy’s E-2 radar planes — extending the detection and engagement range of a variety of munitions. Marine Corps headquarters *slipped its announcement* of th... more »
The Real Reason Donald Trump Could Be Impeached
*Daniel McCarthy* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] What this scandal boils down to is Trump’s willingness to use all legal means at his disposal to strike at business-as-usual among the political elite, or at least the Democratic side of the political elite. Six months ago Donald Trump was going to be impeached over the Mueller Report. His critics were certain of it—he had colluded with Russian interference in the 2016 election, or at least he the act of covering it up appeared impeachable. They thought that once Robert Mueller released his report, Trump would be finished. ... more »
Israel"s F-35I: The Best Stealth Fighter Ever Made?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Middle East* We've got the details. *Key point:* The F-35 is already excellent, but Israel has a different version. On May 22, Israeli Air Force commander Amikam Norkin announced that its F-35I stealth fighters had flown on two combat missions on “different fronts,” showing as proof a photograph of an F-35 overflying Beirut. While details on those missions have not been released—apparently, they were not deployed in a massive Israeli air attack on Iranian forces in Syria that took place on May 9—this nonetheless apparently confirmed the first comb... more »
The Legend Behind Russia's Ultra-Successful AK-47 Rifle
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://dkfirearms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/ZPAPM70.jpg] An infamous export. *Key point:* The AK-47 is one of the best weapons ever crafted. Soviet weapons have a reputation for being reliable, but crude and inaccurate. However, there is often extensive scientific testing behind these weapons. A 1979 report, titled “Shooting effects of automatic weapons” lays out the statistical methodology that was used to test weapons during the Soviet era. There also is a huge resource of firing tables from 1977, that compare accuracy of variou... more »
Fake News? Iran Claims Its Sniper Rifle Can Hit Targets 1,600 Meters Away
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Middle East* But actually? *Key point:* It seems likely that such a sniper rifle is not as impressive as Iran would have you believe. Iran regularly over-hypes its military technology, and in some cases, shows off bogus equipment for propaganda purposes. Iran’s military industry is also resourceful and produces interesting weapons which the Islamic republic then proliferates into very real conflicts. As a latter example, Iran in April 2017 revealed the .50-caliber, semi-automatic Heidar sniper rifle to coincide with the annual Iran Army Day, an eve... more »

The Air Force will soon operate F-35s with fast-evolving collision-avoidance technology able to help fighter jets avoid ground collisions by using computer automation to redirect an aircraft in the event that a pilot is injured or incapacitated. Later this year, the Air Force will fly an F-35 equi... more »

This is How the Elite Will Shut Down Your Free Speech
[image: undefined] It might be time to get off Gab, Voat, and other “white supremacist” social media sites. These are not *bona fide* racist websites—unlike, say, the Daily Stormer—although they do have an appreciable percentage of what the state now calls “white nationalists” freely posting and (in the United States, for now) exercising what remains of the First Amendment. Supposed white nationalism is a carefully crafted amalgamate. It is vague enough to include political movements and ideologies that have nothing or little to do with race—libertarians, anarchists (the real ones,... more »

Cashing in on mental health by depriving patients of freedom?
The Tampa Bay Times has a disturbing report about a local mental health institution, North Tampa Behavioral Health, and its alleged habit of keeping them as long as possible - whether they need it or not. More than two thousand people arrive each year at North Tampa Behavioral Health in extreme crisis. They are checked in under a state law that lets mental health centers keep people who might hurt themselves or others for up to 72 hours.

"To Put Meaning In One's Life..."
"To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of restlessness and vague desire - it is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid." - Edgar Lee Masters "I seem to wish to have some importance in the play of time. If not, then sad was my mother's pain, my breath, my bones, my web of nerves, my wondering brain, to be shaped and quickened with such anticipation only to feed the swamp of space.

"A Dumpster Fire on a Garbage Barge"
*"A Dumpster Fire on a Garbage Barge"* by Jim Kunstler UkraineGate, son of RussiaGate, raises an interesting question: is our Central Intelligence Agency really this crude that they would loan out a CIA officer to the White House’s National Security Council (NSC) and use him as a weapon to shiv the occupant of the oval office? Or was The New York Times’s unmasking of the “whistleblower” just another ruse by the Deep State Disinfo Division? Let’s face it, there were not so many CIA spooks working in that White House office, so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who it was. A le... more »

Leo Strauss: A Postmodern Thinker Or Its Critic?
Postmodernism is a popular term these days, but in Leo Strauss’s time, this term was primarily used to categorize some innovations in architecture and literature—it had no, or very little, philosophical implications. However, Strauss’s critique of historicism can be seen as a critique of the philosophy of postmodernism that came into being several years after his demise in 1973. The postmodernist theory of new historicism, which became popular in the 1980s, aims to develop a factual account of the past so that it includes information on issues and people who, the postmodernists clai... more »
