Less isolated
Here we go again. Writing a blog about BBC bias and then boasting that I don’t watch it. Well, I do watch some of it, more of which later. I have spent most of my life - say, at least half of it, being in a minority of one. (That covers opinion, ideology, ethnicity and lots of other stuff.) Shall I name the ways? Perhaps another time. This is leading up to one of those ‘housekeeping’ posts that bloggers have to do from time to time, usually when the comments are too sweary or too plain nasty. Ha! I have been alone (in this blog) in supporting the lockdown strategy, one whose succe... more »

Chuka Umunna's Jobs
About a fifth of the UK workforce is in receipt of furlough payments. Unemployment figures for March and April are yet to be released, but by the middle of last month Universal Credit applications had surged by 1.4 million. Then there are millions of hidden unemployed, such as young people who don't qualify for social security. Many more face the prospect of furloughing and taking a significant hit to their incomes, and others the awful prospect of their job evaporating completely. As matters look increasingly grim and those on the right start sharpening their knives, cheer yoursel... more »

Argentina Responds Boldly to Coronavirus Crisis
SYDNEY and KUALA LUMPUR, May 05 (IPS) - Like much of the West, Argentina did not take many early precautionary actions after the Covid-19 epidemic was confirmed in January, but became the first Latin American country to act decisively with a 12 March public health emergency declaration. The presidential decree came a day after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic, just over a week after the first case was detected in the republic on 3 March.

Russia-China entente deepens in the shadow of the pandemic
The Russian-Chinese entente emerged as one of the most significant templates of international politics in the recent period since the hugely consequential developments in Ukraine in 2014 that led to western sanctions against Moscow, which in turn galvanised the latter’s ‘pivot to Asia’.
The Agribusiness Model Is Failing
Over the past decades the organization of the entire world food supply from farm to consumers has been reorganized into a globalized distribution known as agribusiness. With most of the world in lockdown over the fears of spread of the coronavirus disease, COVID-19, that global food supply chain is in danger of catastrophic breakdown. The consequences of that would dwarf deaths by coronavirus by orders of magnitude. Yet governments seem oblivious.
Lazy and glib?
Now that there’s Guido, the Daily Mail and many more, does ITBB have a right to exist? I don’t watch the Beeb very much these days and neither does Craig. Where’s that furlough scheme when you need it?. Still, fancy Panorama featuring the daughter of obsessive BDS dogmatist Brian Eno without identifying her as such. I misread her name as ‘Trial’ (and error) “Irial Eno, was a ‘doctor working with Covid patients’ who has ‘decided to speak out’. She said ‘I feel really angry at the Government’.” Smoulder away, Dr Trial but public opinion is gradually shifting away from the left and ... more »

The Farce and Diabolical Agenda of A “Universal Lockdown”
Read this and weep. My only comfort is knowing that we know and that a real WAR is underway to end this all once and for all. This item informs us all. you need to ask whgat is going on here. The DEEP STATE is informed mostly by human stupidity. The meme that we need to somehow suppress the size of the human population has been a central idea linked to th NWO ( NAZIs and REDs) and now clearly underwritten by the CCP. If they did nothing, in time we would be struggling globally to offset declining numbers caused by dropping birthrates. That happens to be the real existenti... more »
Who was Jack Tar?
He was a member of a particular human tribe that has existed for at least five thousand years. Their country was the DEEP. Its great flowering took place in England from around the singular reign of Henry VIII who established the British Navy whicdch established a doctrine of Naval discipline that became the universal standard for all comers. We have come across comparable tribes such as the so called tinkers who were the copper smiths of the Bronze Age. All these tribes recruited young men in particular whose prospects at home were scant. It was not just land hunger that mo... more »
Examining heart extractions in ancient Mesoamerica
Without question, opening through the diaphram and literally tearing out the heart is a swift death for the victim. Instant bleedout although the body will not be properly drained.

Why We Need to Treat 'Essential Workers' Better
*Zachary Jaggers* *Public Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] We need to treat them with the respect they deserve - as the name suggests. By this point in the coronavirus pandemic, you’ve probably heard a lot about “essential workers.” They’re the people working in hospitals and grocery stores, on farms and in meatpacking plants. They’re keeping public transit, shipping and utilities running. But is “essential” describing the workers themselves? Or only the work they do? Right now, many don’t feel like they’re being treated like they’re essential, and workers at Amazon, Walmart... more »

*Helen Devereux* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] While all cruise passengers are now ashore, those who work on cruise ships are not, with an estimated 100,000 cruise ship workers currently stranded. At the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, there was much attention on the plight of cruise tourists.

*James Holmes* *Security, Middle East* Let's hope that luck holds out. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Iranians view their country as the Middle East’s rightful heavyweight.

Why We Should Care About Islamic State Now (They Are on the Rise Again)
*Aviva Guttmann* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] They're back. In the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic the crises of tomorrow can fester. A resurgence of Islamic State (IS) is likely to be one of them. In recent weeks, IS has carried out a spate of attacks on security forces in Iraq and different areas of Syria. There are striking similarities between these current developments and events that happened in 2013-14 as IS seized huge swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria. The threat of a resurgent IS is mounting and governments around the world could be about to make t... more »
New Approach: Why We Should Broaden Our Search for Planets With a Hydrogen Atmosphere
*David Rothery* *Science, World* [image: Reuters] What if alien life uses somewhat different chemistry to ours? The first time we find evidence of life on a planet orbiting another star (an exoplanet), it is probably going to be by analysing the gases in its atmosphere. With the number of known Earth-like planets growing, we could soon discover gases in an exoplanet’s atmosphere that are associated with life on Earth. But what if alien life uses somewhat different chemistry to ours? A new study, published in Nature Astronomy, argues that our best chances of using atmospheres to... more »
