Feeling the pressure from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie-- and the energy among grassroots activities they have inspired-- Biden's team of weasels is talking about making some kind of symbolic gesture so Status Quo Joe can pretend he stands with working families instead of the Wall Street crooks who are underwriting his campaign and who he has always kissed up to. The *Washington Post*'s Jeff Stein reported that the crew of crooks who think for Biden is "weighing the introduction of a new tax on Wall Street, as the former vice president now stands alone among the Democratic presidenti... more »

Japan's New Black Widow Stealth Fighter Could Look Like This

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * How does it compare to the F-22? *Key point: *Old, but impressive technology. Japan has been seeking foreign partners to help develop an F-3 air-superiority oriented stealth fighter for its Air Self-Defense Force. The concept that has attracted by far the most public interest is Lockheed Martin’s proposal for a hybrid of the F-22 Raptor, the world’s top air warfare platform, and the newer F-35 Lightning II. However, some commentators believe the F-3 program could see a resurrection of sorts for the F-22’s rival of yore: the Northrop YF-23 Black Wi... more »

Cows Burp Out Tons of Methane. Feeding Them Seaweed Could Help

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
WE already add around one to two percent of zeolite to feed in order to control ammonia. Adding a seaweed to reduce methane production is useful. Harvesting it may be another mater of course. The good news is this will find its way into our commercial feeds pretty quickly once we are sure of these results here. The seaweed itself will have to be planted on sub sea fields, or perhaps in paddies on a beach somewhere in which sea water is held during the tidal retreat. It may turn out to not be that hard. . *Cows Burp Out Tons of Methane. Feeding Them Seaweed Could Help* *By Je... more »

Edward Snowden prepares to release memoir

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 19 hours ago
There is reason to suspect that Snowden's task was to educate the world regarding NSA data collection on behalf of the Obama administration to serve their ends. That is not too far fetched. He certainly made all the data freely available to folks wanting to use it. This has been turned back on the perps and we now have over 100,000 sealed indictments out there. This was not their intent, but it also made extracting Snowden impossible for John Brennan. On the other hand, from this it appears likely that he finally understood patriotism and acted.

Invasion of the ‘Frankenbees’: The Danger of Building a Better Bee

The natural measure of sustainable agriculture could well be healthy bees and birds. Certainly we have to become as myopic. The advent of neonics took a hidden problem into a public problem. Banning neonics has allowed recovery , but not nearly as strong as would be normally expected. The big problem continues to be machine friendly giant fields.

It's now very clear - the Ukraine "scandal" is a coup attempt against President Trump

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 19 hours ago
The sheer scale of the malevolence of the Democratic Party and its operatives within the "Swamp" or "Deep State" (call it what you will) in Washington D.C. is staggering. They're bound and determined to overturn the result of the 2016 election, and/or to prevent a repeat of it in 2020, by any and all means necessary, including manufacturing fake crises to smear the Trump administration as often as possible.

*Charlie Gao* *Security, Middle East* As in they are trying to build their own missiles for this fighter plane. Can they do it? Iran’s F-14A Tomcats are an anomaly in the region. While most other air forces in the region field multirole or air superiority fighter, the F-14A is a true interceptor with the speed, power and long-range missiles to strike at range then fly away before the enemy has a chance to lock on. This is, of course, enabled by the AIM-54A Phoenix long-range air-to-air missiles it carries. But Iran’s stockpile of these missiles is rapidly dwindling. Air-to-air m... more »
