Mar-A-Lago, One Of The World's Deadliest Places, Is Spreading Coronavirus Via Fecal Contamination
A few days ago I predicted that Trump, almost definitely infected with the coronavirus, would be dead by before the election. I wasn't *wishing* it on him, just predicting the likely result of his behavior. Yesterday, the *Washington Post* reported the Florida's GOP congressional delegation is mostly in quarantine, suspected of having gotten coronavirus at Trump's West Palm Beach disease-ridden fecal swamp, "as the number of people who visited Mar-a-Lago last weekend and later tested positive for the virus climbed to three. The latest is a Brazilian ambassador who sat at President ... more »

*Mass. officials release scathing review of Boston school system* *NOTHING improves "low performing" (black) schools and nothing will. How many decades of failure must the educators have before they learn that? Black educational ineptitude never changes. Nothing can change it. That can be dealt with constructively if it is faced but facing it nobody will do. There is always instead some new set of excuses for the failuresIt is in fact a great pity that expectations of equality are put on blacks. It serves them very badly. They mostly just cannot do the work expected of the... more »

*Central bankers should stay out of the climate debate* Politicians have handed over too much power to unelected technocrats. The claim that climate change is the most important issue facing humanity has become an article of faith for the political class. Yet at the same time, politicians seem strangely happy for unelected technocrats to make pronouncements and even to form policy in this area. Central bankers once did little more than act as behind-the-scenes advisers to governments on technical matters of monetary policy. So it is striking that they have now become prominent figu... more »

Why the UK CoVid-19 plan is destined to fail
Some on the political opposition will enjoy watching the government of Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings struggle over the unfolding Covid-19 crisis. Others will profit from it. All the while, the threat of thousands losing their lives early beckons menacingly, when there was always a better plan in plain sight.
People’s Assembly Statement on The Coronavirus Crisis
The people are ahead of the government in making serious moves to combat the spread of the coronavirus. It is clear the government were pushed by organisations already taking action to close down large events, a move we very much welcome. Where government refuses to act civil society institutions, trade unions, and ordinary citizens are taking matters into their own hands. We reject the ‘herd immunity’ theory that coronavirus can simply be left to rip through society until enough people develop immunity. Not only is there no proof this will happen with this virus, it is the most dea... more »
It was the virus that did it
I’m sure when this disaster is over, mainstream economics and the authorities will claim that it was an exogenous crisis nothing to do with any inherent flaws in the capitalist mode of production and the social structure of society. It was the virus that did it. This was the argument of the mainstream after the Great Recession of 2008-9 and it will be repeated in 2020.

Sunday morning music
Something rather different this morning, focusing on folksy down-home country humor of the kind we seldom see or hear nowadays. The late Roger Miller performed many popular and hit tunes. He's perhaps best known for this one. I've been listening to some of his music off and on over the past few weeks. I'd never before been exposed to his brand of musical humor, and I wanted to understand it in order to write better about people with that background and approach to life. (To learn about the heart of a people, listen to their music. It works surprisingly well.) At any rate, ... more »

These 5 Sniper Rifles Will Make Any Soldier A Real Killer
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Snipers can make their presence felt far beyond a typical soldier’s assault rifle. *Key point: *Making full use of a sniper rifle demands highly-polished skills.

How Australia Can Defend Itself Against China's Military

Two important military developments recently should give China pause for thought. The first one is the announcement by Prime Minister Scott Morrison of a $1.1 billion upgrade to the Royal Australian Air Force base at Tindal, which is about 300 kilometres south of Darwin, to lengthen the runway so that US B-52 strategic bombers as well as our own KC-30 air-to-air refuelling aircraft can operate from there.

Could Aircraft Soon Be Taking Off From America's Submarines?
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * A novel and effective idea. *Key point: *The Cormorant fell victim to budget cuts in 2008, it seems. But it’s hard to believe such a useful idea truly just went away. If submarines possessed the high vision and quick speed of aircraft, they could dramatically extend their reach. If aircraft took off and landed from underwater platforms, their staging and strikes would be stealthier and more secure. But combining the two epoch-making weapons has proved difficult. Only one country really pulled it off—and too late to win a war. But the tremendous p... more »

This terrible conflict with the Red Army consumed great quantities of men and material until the Soviets decisively ended the war by capturing Berlin in May 1945. During that time, the Red Army underwent a radical transformation, having been decimated by Joseph Stalin’s purges before Hitler’s armies invaded on June 22, 1941, inflicting horrendous losses.

His death will tell him that he is wrong, that nothing really matters outside its touch. His death will tell him, ‘I haven’t touched you yet.’” “The worst that could happen to us is that we have to die, and since that is already our unalterable fate, we are free; those who have lost everything no longer have anything t... more »
