“A very big, very monstrous, very powerful airport, and very expensive airport that was built years ago.”
Ahh, Ye’ Olde Superbase? Is that you?
This is from the old and forgotten depths of Cryptogon’s archives:
What part of Superbase don’t you understand? That’s what
people in the business of exploitation and death call a “geostrategic
asset.” States don’t give up control of geostrategic assets because a
lot of people wear Lick Bush t-shirts and write letters to the editor.
But who knows which superbase? Turns out, the U.S. built multiple superbases in Iraq.
Here’s a helpful search phrase to complete the setting for this Syrian oil heist: CIA created ISIS

Presenting the most important news in New Zealand, according to this useless rag. Not Photoshopped. Not satire.
The top story, complete with breaking news alert crawler, which interrupted the endless deluge of sportsball top stories: “Outrage after woman seen driving in Auckland with toddler on lap.”

Since 2007, US federal debt has risen 150% while annual US births
(legal and otherwise) have fallen almost 14%. Said otherwise, over the
dozen years since 2007, federal debt has increased by $13.8 trillion
while 5.2 million fewer births have occurred over the same period than
the Census projected. This is probably worth a little closer look.
…
The then present generation (baby boomers) made a deal with
the past generation to sell out the future generation (Millennials).
This can be seen in the chart below, showing the debt each child is born
shackled with. From $100 thousand in 1970, to $300 thousand in 1980,
to $800 thousand in 1990, $2.1 million in 2007…and as of 2019, every
child born a citizen of the US (regardless their parents status) is
liable for a ludicrous $6.2 million in federal debt. And this is just a
fraction of the actual liability that is owed, if even faster rising
unfunded liabilities were included.

Recently, Reaction Engines passed a major milestone with the
development of their SABRE engine. As the company announced earlier this
week (on Tues. Oct. 22nd), their engineers conducted a successful test
of a vital component – the engine’s heat exchange element (aka.
precooler). What’s more, the test involved airflow temperatures
equivalent to speeds of Mach 5, which is in the hypersonic range.

The “Summon” feature is cringe inducing. Fully autonomous robotaxis in a year or two?
No way.

Seemingly undeterred by disturbing video on social media and a
regulator inquiry into the company, Tesla continues to forge forward
blindly and recklessly into the realm of autonomy. Most recently, Tesla
said on its conference call Wednesday that it is planning a software
update to improve its “Smart” Summon feature, according to Consumer
Reports.
The update is supposed to go live next week, and it follows our story
that the NHTSA was finally investigating the feature. As we noted
earlier this month, the NHTSA can exercise its recall authority if it
finds an “unreasonable safety risk”.

The share of Pentagon spending hidden from public view is rising, as are defense contractors’ revenues from it.
The U.S. Defense Department’s overall budget request
increased nearly 5 percent from 2019 to 2020, but classified spending
rose 6 percent, according to the consulting firm Avascent. It accounts
for about $76 billion, or almost 11%, of the $718 billion requested for
the current fiscal year.
