“Commendable”: Researchers retract a paper when they find gene sequence errors
Researchers in Italy have retracted a 2019 paper on the genetics of a form of herpes virus after determining that the genomic sequences they thought they’d been analyzing proved to be something else. The paper, “A complex evolutionary relationship between HHV-6A and HHV-6B,” appeared in July in Virus Evolution, an Oxford University Press title.

The revelations about Cambridge Analytica indicate clearly that western governments are subverting democracy
I wrote an article about Cambridge Analytica, the commodification of voter decision making and the marketisation of democracy, along with previous articles about western government strategies for subverting democracy.

Trump's Toxicity Has Wrecked The Chances For Republicans Like Rodney Davis, John Katko And Fred Upton To Be Reelected
Remember when I told you that Change Research is this cycle's polling outfit to pay attention to? I was in heaven seeing their latest-- surveys in 3 battleground congressional districts, Michigan's 6th (Fred Upton), New York's 24th (John Katko) and Illinois' 13th (Rodney Davis). All the incumbents are Republicans and all the districts are swingy and flippable. Two, MI-06 and NY-24, have solid progressive challengers, respectively Jon Hoadley and Dana Balter) and the other has a fairly worthless Cheri Bustos/DCCC careerist who stands for nothing at all and is so ashamed of the Demo... more »
"Simply No Answers..."
"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions.

Why Wall Street Laments A Missed Chance to Price Carbon
*Why? Because it cuts into their profit making abilities. I purposely excluded the word pollution- that’s plain manipulative. Carbon is an element. We live on a carbon based planet.

Thanks to reader Jo Blogs for this link… “Those nearby, and back on the mainland, reacted instantly and humanely. They ran, flew, and sped by boat toward the danger.

The Horowitz report: exposing the plot to overthrow a President
After the release of the Horowitz report last week, I've been waiting to see how the reactions shook out, and particularly what emerged after a thoughtful, careful analysis of what it revealed. There's been a lot of breathless hype, of course, and a great deal of partisan political pontification. Nevertheless, as more and more information came out, there's a growing anger and concern *across the political spectrum* as we've come to see how the "deep State" deliberately plotted to overthrow the result of a democratic election. I've put together seven articles that I thought made v... more »

Why Does America Have High-Tech Planes but Low-Tech Bombs?
*Kris Osborn* *Technology, Americas* [image: Reuters] A problem? *Key point:* America's planes are cutting-edge but innovation for their bombs lags behind. US Air Force researchers and bomb-makers are expressing concerns that the modernization of air-dropped weapons has been lagging-behind the many technical advances built into the larger platforms that drop them, such as the B-2, F-35 and the emerging B-21. While advances in stealth technology, targeting, aerodynamics and computer avionics all continue to progress at alarming speeds, innovations when it comes to bomb configura... more »

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the agency that regulates gun ownership in the United States, recognizes that individuals have a historical right to make their own firearms. While this may have been common in the eighteenth century, it is only recently becoming popular again due to the high tolerances of modern machinery and the widespread availability of powered tools.

Don't Believe Iran's Claims That It Has A New Advanced Fighter Jet

In February 2017 I published an article on the Iranian Saeqeh (“Thunderbolt”) fighter. Billed as Iran’s first domestically-built jet fighter to enter operational service, the Saeqeh. Fast forward and we are again greeted with headlines for yet another “100% indigenously made” fighter jet, this time a “state of the art” two-seater called the Kowsar. And yet it appears identical to an F-5F Tiger II two-seater jet. If anything, it is far less... more »
How the CIA and China Helped Saudi Arabia Get Ballistic Missiles
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Wait, what? *Key point:* History shows that Riyadh had help with its ballistic missile program. You would be hard pressed to find two more determined foes of Iran other than Saudi Arabia and Israel. The latter country has long been perturbed by bellicose anti-Israeli rhetoric from Tehran, and has unleashed hundreds of air strikes and artillery bombardments targeting Iran’s efforts to arm Hezbollah forces in Lebanon and Syria. Meanwhile, Riyadh appear to see itself as engaged in nothing short of an epic struggle for domi... more »
Check This Out: The 5 Best .38 Handguns In Existence
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, North America* [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_SP101#/media/File:Sp101corbon.JPG] Which is your favorite? *Key Point:* The .38 special remains one of the most popular revolvers in the United States. The .38 Special is one of the most durable cartridges in history. Introduced in 1898 as the .38 Smith & Wesson Special, it was meant to upgrade the U.S. Army’s firepower. The Army’s .38 Long Colt cartridge proved mediocre at stopping Philippine insurgents in close-quarters combat—the .38 Special was one proposed remedy. Although the Army event... more »
The Health Care Cost of Living in Rural America
*Simon F. Haeder* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] As some Americans struggle for health care access, insurers may be making things worse. Living in rural America certainly comes with a number of benefits. There is less crime, access to the outdoors, and lower costs of living. Yet, not everything is rosy outside the city limits. Rural communities face growing infrastructure problems like decaying water systems. And they have more limited access to amenities ranging from grocery stores to movie theaters, lower quality schools, and less access to high-speed internet. Yet perhap... more »

A Pentagon Paradise Built on Lies
Afghanistan has always been a willing combatant in a handy forever war. That is why it was targeted. The British had the place for most of two centuries and used it to sharpen up their young officers and their soldiers. Thus it is unsurprising to see the Pentagon go do the same thing. They got seriously started with 9/11 after a long thirty year hiatus after Vietnam which did the same thing. What this makes clear is a complete lack of effective planning aimed at ending the war and piecemeal country building which might actually end the problem. Certainly the fact that the... more »

To hear Chinese state media tell it, the soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army will go into battle in the future wearing an array of high-tech gizmos.

Iran Has A Lot Of Missiles, And Is Ready To Use Them Against America's Aircraft Carriers
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* A real threat. *Key Point:* Even under ideal circumstances, Iran’s missile arsenal is unlikely to pose a credible threat against the U.S. Navy. Recent events, particularly the downing of a U.S. Navy MQ-4 Triton by Iranian military forces, again raise the possibility of war between the United States and Iran.

Terror Weapon? Why This AR-15 Rifle Doesn't Care About Range

Does Israel Have Nuclear Missile Submarines?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] It seems very likely. *Key point:* Jerusalem has to have someplace to store its alleged 80-300 nuclear weapons. Israel has never officially admitted to possessing nuclear weapons. Unofficially, Tel Aviv wants everyone to know it has them, and doesn’t hesitate to make thinly-veiled references to its willingness to use them if confronted by an existential threat. Estimates on the size of Tel Aviv’s nuclear stockpile range from 80 to 300 nuclear weapons, the latter number exceeding China’s arsenal. Originally, Israel’s nu... more »
These 5 Rifles Are So Terrible That They Might be the World on Earth
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Can you guess which? *Key point: *The relative decline of the infantry on the battlefield means that none of these weapons were bad enough to lose a war, but they were often bad enough to cause the side using them to lose engagements and lower morale. Military rifles were for decades the primary weapon of an army. Wielded by the largest fighting branch, the infantry, rifles were used in both attack and defense. Because of their importance and the slow march of technological innovation, rifles were upgraded conservatively, with some armies, such as t... more »
