Swine flu, or H1N1, had been dead for 20 years when it suddenly reemerged in 1977 with a curious twist.

Bob Dinn at balance10 - 41 minutes ago
* Australia* had 37,537 confirmed cases of H1N1 Influenza 2009 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic_in_Australia …………………………………...................................................… *Swine* flu, or H1N1, had been dead for 20 years when it suddenly reemerged in 1977 with a curious twist. The new strain was genetically similar to one from the 1950s, almost as though it had been sitting frozen in a lab since then. Indeed it eventually became clear that the late-70s flu outbreak was likely the result of a lowly lab worker’s snafu…. That worries people like Mar... more »

This Air Force Unit Is Making U.S. Special Forces Deadlier Than Ever

David Axe at The National Interest - 44 minutes ago
*David Axe* *Security, * Intelligence is key. *Here's What You Need To Remember*: Between 2008 and 2012, the Pentagon grew its fleet of spy planes and surveillance drones by 238 percent—until they accounted for half of all Air Force aircraft, according to the ISR Agency history.

At the time, many still incorrectly thought that battleships—not carriers—were the most important warships. The two types of aircraft responsible for sinking the Prince Of Wales and Repulse represented the best of Japanese aviation in 1941.

Billions Missing? Iranian Court Slams Rouhani Administration

Matthew Petti at The National Interest - 44 minutes ago
*Matthew Petti* *Security, Middle East* The coronavirus crisis has made Iran’s cash crisis an urgent issue.

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: By 海人 - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=59602486] A shocking defeat. *Key point: *The British were not ready for a fight and were caught off-guard.

Former CIA Expert: Rumors of Kim Jong-un's Demise May Be Exaggerated

Bruce Klingner at The National Interest - 44 minutes ago
*Bruce Klingner* *Security, * "Kim Jong-un was absent from the important April 15 celebrations of the birth of his grandfather, although this year's events were more muted, perhaps due to the COVID-related measures. More importantly, Kim has a myriad of health problems and could be one chocolate wafer away from a heart attack." Long-time North Korea watchers share two characteristics: caution and cynicism. The former arises from seeing so many false or premature rumors—including those about the declining health of the leader; the latter, from seeing so many attempts at diplomacy... more »

His exploits helped crush the Axis and win the war. The commander of the U.S. Third Army, General George S.

Endless growth kills everything

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 55 minutes ago
Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling out the green movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late. Removed from the debate i... more »
