The Republican Plague?
*From When He Came by Nancy Ohanian* "The Department of Justice has confirmed the existence of a memo laying out its rationale for not bringing charges against President Trump," wrote Conor Shaw and Anne Weismann on Friday morning, "but it refuses to make its reasoning public. In response to ongoing litigation involving a Freedom of Information Act request by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, DOJ turned over a heavily redacted version of one of the most important legal documents the American people have never seen: the official grounds for not charging Trump with... more »
Saturday Snippet: Lest we forget!
Given the parlous state of our nation in these troubled times, I thought we all might benefit from a reminder that all our worldly power, and energies, and ambitions, will eventually lead to our decline and fall - just as they have always done in human history. Only if we "lift our eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh our help" will we learn humility and a better way. Kipling put it well in his poem "Recessional". It was written for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897, when the British Empire was at its zenith. We aren't an Empire, but we're nonetheless guilty of jus... more »

Albert Einstein: “CO2 Can’t Store Heat”
In 1919, Einstein showed that if a gas is in thermodynamic equilibrium you won't get a greenhouse effect -- it won't store the energy. The air is in thermodynamic equilibrium. Today's climate models have decided to ignore Einstein. The post Albert Einstein: “CO2 Can’t Store Heat” appeared first on Electroverse.
The Stage Is Set, the Fight Is Rigged, and The End Is Near
Donald Trump is finished. He’s gone halfway to destroying the office of President of the United States. The “deep state” he swore he would eradicate, they’re massaging the shoulders of truth killer Joe Biden as if to ready him like a has-been boxer about to emerge from a sweaty arena tunnel of American politics. But nobody is talking about the 2020 endgame. If all the world is a great big geopolitical stage, what does the final act promise?
The Molotov Cocktail: A Short History
*Caleb Larson* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] The weapons of choice for those who have nothing else to use? The Molotov Cocktail is a relatively new development in the field of military technology, though it is a decidedly low-tech weapon. Although there are many variants of the cocktail, they all follow essentially the same formula: a glass container, usually a jar or bottle, filled with a flammable liquid (often gasoline), to which a scrap of cloth is attached. Before throwing, the cloth scrap is lit, creating a fireball when it lands. The cocktail owes its name to sarca... more »

Speading the hate
The BBC controversially published the following divisive article back on 11 June, and people are now taking against it: The piece's author Jaydee Seaforth (I'm tempted to re-name her 'Jaydee Spewforth') says: Officer tells me he's just doing his job. I tell him Nazis were just doing theirs and I am doing mine.. I returned to that statue they were guarding. Someone had managed to paint 'ACAB' on it. The message gives me hope that attitudes are changing. Here's a flavour of the reaction: Ben Cobley: The BBC here has given a comment piece to a BLM activist in which she's claimed t... more »
New slogan
Reacting to an edition of *Woman's Hour*, Labour Against Antisemitism's Euan Philipps asked the following question: In the last few days the BBC has platformed Brian Eno, Zarah Sultana, Richard Burgon, Matt Wrack, & Novara’s Michael Walker. The connection? They’ve all promoted apparently antisemitic views over recent years. Why does the BBC turn a blind eye to racism against Jews? I have to say that I'm not in favour of no-platforming, and don't see how the BBC could possibly get away with no-platforming sitting Labour MPs anyhow, but antisemites (in whatever position) *must* be h... more »
PSL: Don't Call This Dangerous Gun a ‘Sniper Rifle’
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* [image: Image: Wikimedia Commons / TSGT KEN HAMMOND] Meet the PSL, a designated marksman rifle. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed its legendary SVD-40 “Dragunov”—a semi-automatic marksman rifle that was designed as a sporting rifle by Olympic shooting gold medalist Yevgeny Dragunov. It utilized a short-stroke pistol to minimize moving mass and featured a last-round bolt hold for faster reloading. The weapon was produced under license by China, Egypt and even Iraq—where in the latter case Saddam Hussein even produced a gold plated ... more »

DNC's Plan to Replace Our Police with NATO Contractors
Would they dare? Is there Chinese money involved? The fact that tbis can be contemplated would demand massive treason or much more likely, a massive sting operation against really stupid adversaries whose greed and ambition is stipid.

This is at least one known confirmation of climatic impact by volcanism. I do think that these events are much more common than understood and very effective.

Belgium’s Vigneron Submachine Gun—A Gun That Took The Best of Other Guns
*Peter Suciu* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] It was great for “street fighting.” While the submachine gun was first employed at the end of the World War I, with Germany’s MP18 being the first successful compact automatic weapon, the development continued in the interwar era with countries such as the United States developing the Thompson and Germany's military refining the concept with the MP40. However, submachine gun development reached its apex after World War II when new designs were heavily influenced by the weapons used by the various combatant nations. Amon... more »
WWII Game Changer: The Boeing B-29 Superfortress Was Simply Unstoppable
*Warfare History Network* *History, * B-29s were responsible for the destruction of 914 enemy aircraft in the air. The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a game-changer. First rolling off the assembly line as a production aircraft in July 1943, the Superfortress was the answer to America’s need for a high-level long-range strategic bomber. Conceived in 1938, the Superfortress was designed to increase the range, payload, and speed of its predecessors and was ultimately slated for service in the Pacific Theater of Operations only. The B-29 had a loaded range of around 4,000 miles, could... more »
