Here's what I want for Christmas: I want a patriotic Two Million Whistleblower March On Washington! That's right. I want a world where 2,000,000, hell, make it 5,000,000, patriotic Americans purchase a whistle and get their butts to Washington and parade around the White House blowing their whistles day and night as loudly as they can for as long as they can. They can use a referee's kind of whistle or a slide whistle, it... more »
Prolonged use of certain heartburn meds increases DEATH RISK
[image: Image: Dangerous drugs linked to fatal diseases and cancer: Prolonged use of certain heartburn meds increases DEATH RISK] Firstly, acid reflux disease is a recent faux discovery or at best a marketing platform for certain drugs. Heartburn itself has been mostly associated with aging and cardiovascular issues. This is not unreasonable at all. We have few internal nerve endings to provide distress signaling and the result is badly misdirected signals. My own widow maker expressed itself as heartburn for years until the actual attack disclosed the problem. The heartburn... more »
How to Survive a Knife Attack (And 4 Myths That Could Get You Killed)
This should convince you that it cannot be done without training which at least allows you to mentally internalize useful actions. Everyone should get some training as a matter of course, except that is not so easy either. Rather specific conditions did introduce me to some useful actions which i never have needed. Yet i am the first to note as well that I learned nothing in Basic Training which aimed at conditioning.You do have to visualize a useful action and even practice it. For a knife attack, you do depend on using the side of your arms to knock the knife aside. That is ... more »
Heart Attack Proofing
What needs to be understood is that lifestyle will not stop the creation of heart plaques. Certainly the problem is also triggered by chronic inflammation which implies that we are actually dealing with a deficiency of healing. After all an inflammation is a healing event. so why does it not heal quickly in the first place? This understanding conforms to chronic scurvy that obviously worsens as we age. Thus the solid history of vitamin C augmentation. Since my major Heart Attack in 2005, I have generally consumed around 8000 mgs of vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid or al... more »

Did America Make a Big Mistake Building the New Ford-Class Carrier?
*Dan Grazier* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Lot of problems. *Key point:* The Ford-class makes a lot of promises but is very expensive and has had several issues. Pres. Donald Trump used the Navy’s next-generation aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, as a backdrop to unveil his vision for the next defense budget in March 2017. The moment was meant to symbolize his commitment to rebuilding the military, but it also positioned the president in front of a monument to the Navy’s and defense industry’s ability to justify spending billions in taxypayer dollars on unproven te... more »
See This Picture? The F-35 Could Have Looked Like This
*TNI Staff* *History, Americas* The Defense Department's procurement program is very complex. *Key point: *Lockheed mismanaged the F-35 program to an extent, but the Pentagon’s requirements for a all-in-one wonder plane is what caused the programs problems. On October 26, 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that Lockheed Martin’s X-35 had won the Joint Strike Fighter contest over Boeing’s X-32. The win secured Lockheed’s future as the manufacturer for all of America’s fifth-generation fighter platforms. But Lockheed’s resultant F-35 has suffered myriad delay, technica... more »
Like Shotguns? You Have To Try Out These Semi-Automatic Beasts
*Gun News Daily* *Security, * Less recoil, higher rate of fire. *Key point: *Semi-autos aren’t necessarily as reliable as pump-action shotguns. Semi-auto shotguns are the upgraded version of the pump-action shotguns we all know and love. They are prized for their quick firepower and reduction in recoil. They feel great to shoot. Emptying out a few cartridges in quick succession is a great way to unwind after a long day. Semi-autos aren’t necessarily as reliable as pump-action shotguns, however, their main advantage is reduced recoil and a very fast rate of fire. If you’re not ... more »

*Charlie Savage, New York Times:* *We Just Got a Rare Look at National Security Surveillance. It Was Ugly. * WASHINGTON — When a long-awaited inspector general report about the F.B.I.’s Russia investigation became public this week, partisans across the political spectrum mined it to argue about whether President Trump falsely smeared the F.B.I. or was its victim. But the report was also important for reasons that had nothing to do with Mr. Trump. At more than 400 pages, the study amounted to the most searching look ever at the government’s secretive system for carrying out nationa... more »
Real Collusion: China Is Flying Russian-Made Su-35 Fighter Planes
*TNI Staff* *Security, * [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/AIRSHOW--GM1E96F1LQT01.html] Having purchased Russian Su-35, China's airforce has been significantly boosted. *Key Point:* The U.S. now needs to think twice about countering Chinese power. The Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E has entered service with the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) according to the Chinese Ministry of Defense. The advanced Russian-built fourth generation fighter is a significant boost to the PLAAF and could be used to good effect by Beijing in over the South China Sea. “The Su-35 is a mu... more »

During NATO’s 1999 air war over Yugoslavia, the Atlantic alliance struck hundreds of targets over Serbia and Kosovo. Most were uncontroversial: air-defense sites, army headquarters and other military targets. The destruction of one target in particular, however, set off a wave of anti-Western—and anti-American in particular—protests half a world away. That target was the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.

Battleships are generally best known by their guns, and for good reason.

Should the Navy Bring Back Super Battleships?
*Robert Farley* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] A terrible idea. *Key point:* Large warships are obsolete and easy to sink. Is it time to bring back the battleship? For decades, naval architects have concentrated on building ships that, by the standards of the World Wars, are remarkably brittle. These ships can deal punishment at much greater ranges than their early 20th century counterparts, but they can’t take a hit. Is it time to reconsider this strategy, and once again build protected ships? This article examines how these trends came about, and what might change in t... more »
