Does Anyone Think Trump Hasn't Been The Worst President In History? And The Most Dangerous?
*Slimeball by Nancy Ohanian* Everyone I know is having psychological problems right now-- some very mildly and some... well, at least one person I know committed suicide. In the middle of an out-of-contril, deadly pandemic, we have enough to worry about without a narcissistic madman threatening to destroy our democracy and the nation itself. Could Putin have ever imagined that for an investment of just a few million dollars he would have laid America *this* low, helping elevate the ultimate anti-patriot to the Oval Office? Joshua Benton tweeted this yesterday. It's literally horrify... more »
Stop the sea-based war games!
Despite COVID-19 and people’s resistance, the world's biggest multinational maritime war exercise, Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC) is being held off the shores of Hawaii from Aug. 17 to 31, 2020. RIMPAC is an unnecessary and reckless biannual war exercise for the US domination of the Indo-Pacific region. It infringes on the sovereignty of the Hawaiian people, destroys the ecological systems (such as killing cetaceans), and threatens the peace in the Asia Pacific. This year, 23 ships and 5,300 military personnel from around 10 nations are joining RIMPAC. Those of us who have ... more »
South Korea’s Summer Temperatures “Reverse” — July comes-out Colder than June for the first time on Record

Only Half of Expected Turnout at "Student" Rally
Small turnouts, plus counter protesters already showing up illustrates the challenge of translating fake online support into large street mobs. *August 16, 2020 *(Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - While debatable claims of "at least 5,000" protesters sounds like a lot for today's anti-government protests - leaders of the "leaderless" protests had expected at least 10,000. Claims that the protests "grew" at night are dubious at best with numbers regularly inflated by protesters and the media supporting them. Pictures of the protests during the day revealed many older people - some even lite... more »
Waiting for Opposition
Another set of polls, another stubborn Tory lead. You can talk discuss why this is the case, but what about the how? What can Labour do that 65,000 deaths and an increasingly obvious second wave of infection can't? Whether you think the best tack to take is criticising the politics of the Tories' miserable failure, or go in for some colourless managerialism, Labour's strategy has to think about two things. How can we win over Tories voters, or failing that, discourage them from voting Conservative in the future, and how do we keep existing supporters on side. Keir Starmer's latest ... more »

Sunday morning music
It's been a while since we've had some classical guitar music. Here's Joaquín Rodrigo's "Fantasia Para un Gentilhombre", performed live by the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería.

The Reaction of the Left to Lockdown
In April I wrote a postscript to my critique of the ‘unofficial left’ (David Graeber, Noam Chomsky, Media Lens, etc.) criticising their non-response to the already highly suspicious coronavirus narrative. Things have moved on — now into the past tense — so here is the same summary, now updated and revised.
COVID Data Failures Create Pressure for Public Health System Overhaul

The Nazi's Last Stand At Seelow Heights Proved Germany Had Not Lost Its Fighting Spirit
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* A carefully crafted German plan caught an overconfident adversary off guard at the gates of Berlin, but overwhelming odds ensured a Russian victory. The officers huddled in a candlelit cellar in an abandoned farmhouse midway between the Oder River and Berlin. Outside the walls could be heard the steady pounding of artillery explosions and the whoosh of rockets to the east. Sixty-year-old General Helmuth Weidling, a holder of the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, listened to reports of the three-day-old battle from his subordinat... more »
The U.S. Economy Is Reliant on Consumer Spending – Can It Survive a Pandemic?
*Halina Szejnwald Brown* *economy, Americas* The U.S. is experiencing its highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression. The COVID-19 pandemic has radically affected the American economy, reducing spending by American households on materials goods, air travel, leisure activities as well as the use of automobiles. As a result, greenhouse gas emissions have temporarily fallen dramatically. While this may be a positive for the environment, the social price is high: Since the U.S. economy depends heavily on consumer spending, the country is experiencing the highest unemployme... more »
Machines Could Soon Be Able to Detect Coronavirus Particles in the Air
*Suresh Dhaniyala, Hema Priyamvada Ravindran, Shantanu Sur* *Coronavirus, World* Devices that can rapidly detect particular airborne pathogens – including SARS-CoV-2 – are in the works in various research laboratories. A growing body of research shows that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can spread from person to person through the air. Indoor spaces with poor ventilation in areas where the virus is prevalent are particularly hazardous. In the fictional world of “Star Trek,” public health officials and first responders would be able to determine instantly if a space h... more »
Joe Biden Will Be America’s Most Pro-Kurdish President
*Aykan Erdemir, Philip Kowalski* *Politics, Middle East* The real test of Biden’s pro-Kurdish sentiments will be whether the need to maintain pragmatic cooperation with Ankara and Baghdad will ultimately force him to temper his commitment to the Kurds that the mountains are not their only friends. “I don’t like Kurds,” President Donald Trump said, according to former national security adviser John Bolton. Twice now, Trump has ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops from northeast Syria, leaving Washington’s Syrian Kurdish allies to fend for themselves, despite the heavy sacrifices ... more »
Destinations – A Sunday Sermonette
Gilgamesh Stories and legends of Gilgamesh had existed in oral form long before the Epic was written down. Because of this, there is a lot of debate over whether the Epic is more Sumerian (earlier) or Babylonian (later) in terms of cultural influence. The most well-preserved version was written by Sîn-lēqi-unninni, and he would […] The post Destinations – A Sunday Sermonette appeared first on Virtual Mirage .

EU member states call for sanctions of Belarus
The reaction of the leading Western countries to the presidential elections in Belarus and the events of recent days is rather restrained. The position of European leaders can hardly be regarded as an uncompromising position on forcing the “last dictator of Europe” to democracy and respect for human rights. However, while Washington, Berlin, Brussels and […]
“Team Harris” gets press – but isn’t it Biden who wants to be President? [Video]
Sometimes, you get a perfect rundown of what is really going on in the world. As regards Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, this is one of the best early analyses of this pair of Presidential candidates. In fact, it is probably most accurate to say precisely that: This is a pair of presidential candidates, not a […]

All Nuclear Weapons Are Illegal
Americans assume that only select nations can legally build and stockpile nuclear weapons.

Lithuania’s actions can destabilize the situation in Belarus
Lithuania’s public figures are calling for a human chain, reminiscent of the 1989 Baltic Way that stretched from Vilnius to Tallinn, to show support to Belarusians.

John Stossel: Are So-Called Anti-Racists Really Racist?
*John Stossel* *Politics, Americas* [image: Demonstrators take part in a Black Lives Matter protest outside Tottenham police station in London, Britain August 8, 2020. REUTERS/Simon Dawson] Do anti-racists realists that they and white supremacists now support similar segregationist policies, like blacks- (or whites-) only spaces? Black Lives Matter protests led many people to want to do something useful to reduce racial injustice. Racial justice groups are being flooded with money. Big companies made multimillion-dollar donations. “Bad idea,” says black radio host Larry Elder i... more »
Nearly Half of U.S. Teens Who Date Report Stalking and Harassment
*Emily Rothman* *Society, Americas* These statistics suggest that surveilling or acting aggressively toward a crush or partner isn’t just common among U.S. teenagers. They may also think it’s normal or acceptable. Falling in love for the first time can be a thrill, and teen dating is important to adolescent development. But according to the results of a study that my research team recently conducted, these early forays into romance often veer into unhealthy territory. As many as 48% of 12- to 18-year-olds who describe themselves as having had a dating partner in the past year ha... more »
How One Community Improved COVID-19 Nursing Home Care (And Saved Lives)
*Laurie Archbald-Pannone* *Coronavirus, Americas* Success depends on collaboration and communication. Nursing home residents worldwide are particularly vulnerable to the ravages of COVID-19. In the U.S. as of Aug. 2, 2020, nearly 46,000 nursing home residents had died from the virus. In addition, deaths linked to nursing homes have been estimated to account for 40% of all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. In my home state of Virginia, nursing home residents make up more than half the state’s COVID-19 related deaths. That statistic alone emphasizes the critical need for infection contr... more »
Is Coronavirus a Danger To My Schoolkids? Here's What Two Doctors Say
*Amy Anderson, Kevin Pham* *Health, Americas* [image: A pupil of the protestant high school] In short, children pose little risk to others, and that risk only decreases if the school or school district implements good safety precautions.

Here’s our take on the top questions we’re hearing. *1. If my child returns to school, should I expect my child to contract COVID-19? If so, should I be scare... more »
"Chaos Theory"
*"Chaos Theory"* by Jim Kunstler "For the moment, it seems, the Democratic Party’s actual anointed candidate for president is Senator Harris (CA), due to the obvious disability of her running mate. But such a boldfaced shuck-and-jive has never been tried before in a national election. Do you suppose the DNC honchos really believe they’re putting one over on the voters? It remains to be seen whether this hustle will withstand the moilings and toilings of next week’s national convention - itself shaping up to be a massively peculiar event conducted by texts, emails, phone calls, Zoom... more »
