*Haddad, Fanar, **Sectarianism In Iraq, Antagonistic Visions of Unity**, New York: Columbia University Press, 2011* Sectarianism became the main way to explain Iraq after 2003.

Any doubt there are terrorists (domestic and foreign) inside the U.S?

‘Regime Change’ in Belarus Looks Like an Objective of Both the Trump Administration and the Biden Campaign

Belarus also appears to be in the US government’s crosshairs.

Don’t be Hoodwinked by Trump’s UAE-Israel “Peace Deal”
The normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel, facilitated by the U.S., serves to prop up three repressive leaders — Trump, Netanyahu, and bin Zayed — and will cause further harm to Palestinians. It is both a shame and a sham. The post Don’t be Hoodwinked by Trump’s UAE-Israel “Peace Deal” appeared first on MintPress News.

From F-35s to B-25s: USS Essex Transports World War II Warbirds to Hawaii
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * [image: Reuters] U.S. warships have proudly hosted vintage aircraft to mark important milestones in military history. From a distance, the U.S. Navy’s *Wasp*-class amphibious assault ship USS *Essex* might have been mistaken for a World War II aircraft carrier as it sailed into Hawaii this week with vintage aircraft on its flight deck. Rather than carrying its F-35 stealth fighters, USS Essex carried a P-51 Mustang and notably a B-25 Mitchell bomber, the same type of aircraft used in the April 1942 Doolittle Raid over Tokyo.

This Old Gun Changed Warfare Forever (And Terrified Millions)

His father was a prosperous farmer and inventor, and the son was destined to inherit the “invention bug.” After three of his sisters died at a young age from disease, Richard Gatling decided to study medicine, and graduated from the Ohio Medical College in Cincinnati in 1850.

How a $2.9 Billion Dollar Submarine Was Crippled for a Year: An Open Hatch
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * The brand new Indian $2.9 billion submarine was left completely inoperative for nearly a year after a hatch was left open, which allowed seawater to rush in, almost sinking the boat. Since their inception submarines have been called a “steel tomb” due to the inherent dangers involved in their routine operations. It almost seems unnatural to design a boat that would travel under the water’s surface, and that is why it took a brave type of sailor to volunteer for such duty. During the American Civil War, the CSS Hunley became the first “successful” subma... more »

War Games Prove Why America Cannot Afford A Second Korean War
*Michael Peck* *Security, * It would be hell. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *"While the United States may believe that securing North Korea’s nuclear arsenal is a limited mission, some North Korean factions in the wargames tended to view U.S. intervention as the prelude to unification and thus an existential threat to North Korea as an independent entity. This put them in the situation of using their nuclear weapons—the ultimate guarantor of their security—or losing them.” If war erupts with North Korea, then the U.S. military will have problems, according to a series of wa... more »

The Post Office violated federal law to help the Clinton 2016 campaign
In 2016 lots of postal union workers took unpaid leave to help Hillary Clinton's campaign. Don't worry their union paid their salary when they were working to help Hillary. It's legal for workers to do that. What isn't legal is for Post Office management to pressure mangers to approve the unpaid leave when doing so left the managers organizations understaffed. That's why the Postal Service's office of Special counsel and inspector general found that the Post office violated the Hatch Act which prohibits federal workers from working for or against a political candidate or party.

Why defunding the police is a good idea
Only insane fascists want to defund the police so that innocent citizens, mostly minorities, will be defenseless against criminals. Rich white folk don't live in places where violence is common so they don't care about cops but poor Black people in Democrat run hell holes like Chicago do because an armed cop is all that stands between them and some gang member with an Uzi. But the good news is that when Democrat run cities like Austin, Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis talk about defunding the police they're like a roach motels for criminals.

100,000 mail in ballots rejected in California election

Why The Rush?
In Ontario, there is a rush to get back to school. Bruce Arthur asks, Why the rush? On Thursday, provincial Education Minister Stephen Lecce delivered yet another version of the school reopening plan. He primarily announced that school boards can now access a total of $500-million in reserve funds to hire extra staff, and to lease space in order to reduce class sizes and ensure social distancing. And there’s a total of $50-million to upgrade HVAC ventilation systems. Which means three-and-a-half weeks to remake a lot of schools. Lecce first brushed off the idea that school openin... more »
On Two Types of Revolutions
Revolutions are of two types: first, the revolutions in which the system of government is transformed and a new regime comes to power, but no harm is caused to the cultural institutions and the peoples civil liberties; second, the revolutions which entail not only a fall of the government but also a destruction of the cultural institutions and the peoples civil liberties. The American Revolution of the eighteenth century was of the first type, while the French Revolution of the eighteenth century and the Bolshevik Revolution of the twentieth century were of the second type.
