Sunday morning music
While I was in hospital last week, a reader sent me the link to a new music video by Russian trio (and occasional quartet) Silenzium. They appear to be a living definition of "Don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle" (or, in this case, "Don't sell the music, sell the sexy!"). I'd never heard of them, so I looked them up. Last.fm says of them: Silenzium was created in 2004 by young musicians from Novosibirsk Philharmonic Society. Silenzium is a classical string quartet with the addition of a contrabass and a drum set, which breaks all the stereotypes about a traditional sound of a s... more »
Feelin' The Bern-- From Iowa On
It's not really possible to accurately poll a caucus state, and *especially* not Iowa. The most recent attempt, by Siena for the *NY Times* shows a close tie between Elizabeth, Bernie, Mayo Pete and Status Quo Joe. No one else is a factor and chances are good that after the Iowa caucuses, candidates who rolling the dice on Iowa-- like Amy Klobuchar, Michael Bennet, Steve Bullock and John Delaney-- will drop out and go back to work or-- in Delaney's case-- go find a job. A caucus is not anything like a primary. On February 3, participants will sit down at a designated location ... more »
Cometh the hour cometh the man
Mail Online headline. Amazingly, the two words aren't 'John' and 'Simpson'. *Simpson was in Poland on the night the wall fell. I loved the way in the documentary he tried to make it sound like a noble mission to scramble back just in time to elbow Brian Hanrahan out of the way in order to give us his superior wisdom on the evening news. (Yes, that devastating insight which meant he was hundreds of miles away at the time.) * *His desolation as the live satellite feed juddered to a halt in mid-pontification was priceless.* So JS wrote on an earlier thread.

Greg Hunter, "USA Communist – China Nazi"
*"USA Communist – China Nazi"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Geopolitical and financial analyst Warren Pollock says if you look beneath the veneer, the USA and China function much differently than their stated forms of government. Pollock explains, “Now, we have melded the organs of state that we need to run a country with our corporations. They are one in one, hand in hand. So, the FAA and Boeing are tied at the hip. Tobacco companies and the FDA are tied together. Then we have technical failures because of that, and we have a big bureaucracy. That is all functional communism... more »
Ruger Security 9: The Ultimate Carry and Self Defense Gun?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Here is what we can tell you. Ruger’s LCP series of pistols has been wildly possible, with both the original LCP and LCP II proving very popular as concealed carry choices. But with the Security 9, Ruger is scaling up the LCP design to a duty-sized pistol. This puts in direct competition with Ruger’s own “American” pistol. But how do the two stack up? What makes the Security 9 special? The Security 9 follows the LCP’s ergonomic profile, which results in a more ergonomic grip than the American. It also features forward slide serrations where the America... more »
100-Megatons of Doom: How Big of a Threat Is Russia's Status-6 "Poseidon" Nuclear Torpedo?
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/RUSSIA-SUBMARINE--RC1C53842B80.html] Or just some more fake news? *Key point:* Moscow's doomsday weapon may sound scary but it is more stupid and impracticable than anything else. How do you stop a nuclear-powered torpedo designed to bury enemy cities under a tsunami? Russia's Status-6 "Poseidon" torpedo has excited the fears -- or the overactive imaginations -- of Russia's enemies. Calling it is a torpedo is a misnomer. While the precise capabilities of the weapon are mysterious, it appears to be ... more »
Russian Expert: The U.S. Can’t Afford New 6.8-mm Rifle Ammo
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Will the U.S. Army follow through on a plan to adopt a bigger caliber of small arms ammunition? Will the U.S. Army follow through on a plan to adopt a bigger caliber of small arms ammunition? One Russian expert says no. Viktor Murakhovsky, editor-in-chief of Russian defense journal *Arsenal of the Fatherland*, questions the practicality of the U.S. Army’s project to replace the familiar 5.56-mm round—used by the M-16 and M-4 rifles—with a more powerful 6.8-mm round for the Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapons program.

World War II Veterans Tells Us What It Was Like to Fight in a Tank
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=339735] The legendary Sherman tank that is. *Key point: *Fighting in a tank across Europe was a harrowing and unique experience.

The World's Best Militaries Love These 5 Handguns
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * These are revered for a reason. *Key point:* The global arms trade has produced many excellent handguns, but these are the best. The bustling global arms trade has resulted in many excellent handguns in the last hundred years. Some of the best handguns are more than a hundred years old, while others have been in production for less than a decade. All are excellent weapons for defense, and in some cases offense; they are equally at home in a homeowner’s gun safe or carried as an officer’s sidearm. Here are five of the best handguns currently in serv... more »

*The Golden (Brown) State* California's environmental mismanagement is taking the state backwards in time. Perhaps nothing defines the progressive movement better than what is arguably the most bankrupt phrase in the English language: my truth. For decades, one of California’s primary expressions of “my truth” has been the idea that global warming is the chief cause of the ongoing catastrophes wrought by wildfires. Unfortunately, Californians who still expect the largest state in the richest nation in the world to provide basic modern-day amenities are finding out the hard way th... more »

Agrarian Crisis and Malnutrition: GM Agriculture Is Not the Answer
Dissident Voice, OffGuardian, CounterPunch Global Research, Countercurrents, M S Swaminathan is often referred to as the 'father' of India's Green Revolution. In 2009, he said that no scientific evidence had emerged to justify concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops, often regarded as stage two of the Green Revolution.

Chinese shipbuilders have built more than one hundred warships in the past decade, a build rate outstripping the mighty U.S. Navy.

As the Team's Head Brass BY EDWARD THOMAS (1878 – 1917) As the team’s head-brass flashed out on the turn The lovers disappeared into the wood. I sat among the boughs of the fallen elm That strewed an angle of the fallow, and Watched the plough narrowing a yellow square Of charlock. Every time the horses turned Instead of treading me down, the ploughman leaned Upon the handles to say or ask a word, About the weather, next about the war. Scraping the share he faced towards the wood, And screwed along the furrow till the brass flashed Once more. The blizzard felled the ... more »

Their rifles have not proven as popular, despite the evident q... more »
