Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Trump and DeJoy Boy have gone postal! Their deliberate disruption/destruction of the USPS isn't just about the coming election. Sure, if Trump loses, he will use the chaos he has created at the post office and elsewhere as an excuse for branding the election as illegitimate. There's a method to his madness. But the chaos is also about pleasing his psychopathy. It's about destroying the lives of Americans by destroying their credit when their bill payments don't arrive on time or the bills don't arrive at their homes in time. It's about destroying the small businesses th... more »

Could America Really Save Taiwan in a War with China?
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* Author: "As for the notion that America will sail to the rescue of Taiwan, this possibility becomes increasingly far-fetched and even downright farcical.

China Wants Foreign Bases For Its Nuclear Submarines
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* Nuclear submarines are the crux of China's naval strategy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *There is a strong suggestion here that China will begin a reorientation of its submarine force toward prioritizing nuclear-submarine deployments to meet new far-seas mission requirements. Indeed, the penultimate sentence of the QSA analysis asserts emphatically that nuclear submarines will form “the ‘assassin’s mace’ force of our navy’s expansion into the deep oceans for defense combat.” Between major decisions on a new deployment to Afghanistan and ... more »

*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Eurasia* How worried should we be? *Key Point*: Large weapons come with benefits -- and risks.

From the breakdown of American institutional norms between the executive and the legislature, to increasing distrust regarding the law enforcement and intelligence apparatus to regional crises, for example in Syria, that seem to spin increasingly out of control, the probe has brought both U.S. domestic and foreign policy making to a the point of crisis.

Wearing a Mask Decreases Severity of Coronavirus Cases, Study Finds
*Monica Gandhi* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] In places where everyone wears masks, the rate of asymptomatic infection seems to be much higher. Masks slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by reducing how much infected people spray the virus into the environment around them when they cough or talk. Evidence from laboratory experiments, hospitals and whole countries show that masks work, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends face coverings for the U.S. public. With all this evidence, mask wearing has become the norm in many places. I am an infectious disease ... more »

Would the Chinese Navy Dare Sail In the Atlantic Ocean?
*Lyle J.

Thus, it is quite conceivable that the PLA Navy may already be operating submarines (armed with land-attack cruise missiles) in the Atlantic.

The Two Alternatives For The People
The people in a nation have two alternatives: either they can identify themselves by their race and religion, or by their history and nation.

History of the last four hundred years tells us that those nations have made progress where the individualism and liberty of the people was rooted in a common identity: for instance, England in f... more »

A fascinating must-watch. What we’re seeing in the news, on our streets, in our politics today, was predicted with uncanny accuracy 50 years ago.

The Great Presidential Election Fraud: Will Our Freedoms Survive Another Election?
And so it begins again, the never-ending, semi-delusional, train-wreck of an election cycle in which the American people allow themselves to get worked up into a frenzy over the misguided belief that the future of this nation—nay, our very lives—depends on who we elect as president. For the next three months, Americans will be dope-fed billions of dollars’ worth of political propaganda aimed at keeping them glued to their television sets and persuading them that 1) their votes count and 2) electing the right candidate will fix everything that is wrong with this country. Incredible, ... more »
The Soviet Union Is Gone, But The MiG-27 Can Still Go to War
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The powerful swing-wing jets were a Soviet warplanes license-built by India and upgraded with 2000s-era avionics. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Despite the problems with the cannon, the MiG-27 reportedly otherwise deemed a reliable, smooth-handling aircraft. Though not particularly agile, it was both fast and a stable firing platform with good low-speed performance. On December 27, 2019, the Indian Air Force bade farewell to the last of the beefy MiG-27 attack jets it had dubbed the *Bahadur* (“Valiant”) in a ceremony held by No. 29 squa... more »
Musical Interlude: Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"
Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"
"A Look to the Heavens"
“Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy some 200 thousand light-years distant, lies 5 million year young star cluster NGC 602. Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC 602 is featured in this stunning Hubble image of the region. * Click image for larger size.* Fantastic ridges and swept back shapes strongly suggest that energetic radiation and shock waves from NGC 602's massive young stars have eroded the dusty material and triggered a progression of star formation moving away from the cluster's center. At the estimated distance of the Small Magellanic Clo... more »
"We Are Doomed And Challenged...:
"The apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge; once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less." - Arthur Miller
"There's Only One Rule..."; "Geek Wisdom: The Sacred Teachings Of Nerd Culture"
“There’s only one rule that I know of, babies- God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” - Kurt Vonnegut “Man shows inhumanity to Man. It’s axiomatic of our existence. It’s the story of our past, it’s the story of our present, and it will very likely be the story of our future. Indeed, it’s a story that’s reinforced every day, whether we’re watching the evening news or the latest entry in the “Saw” series. However, our history is also littered with awe-inspiring examples of men and women showing incredible compassion in the face of unspeakable evil and insurmountable odds. Every story o... more »

An old photo of Phil
Today I received a nice photo of our son Phil who died in April. My cousin Sharon who lives in Canada sent it in a letter. It was taken in 1981 at a gathering at my mother's farm in Franklin Grove for the funeral of my cousin, Sharon's brother, Richard Weybright who died when he was 43. Phil was 13. Phil loved our vacations at the farm. I remember being there, but didn't remember who else was there except for Richard's parents. Richard had died in November 1980, so apparently the ashes were brought "home" from Arizona for burial in Ashton, Illinois where my grandparents and their son... more »

Is Deep-Sea Mining Bad For the Environment?
*Elizabeth M. De Santo, Elizabeth Mendenhall, Elizabeth Nyman* *Environment, World* [image: Reuters] Scraping and vacuuming the seafloor can destroy habitats and release plumes of sediment that blanket or choke filter-feeding species on the seafloor and fish swimming in the water column. Mining the ocean floor for submerged minerals is a little-known, experimental industry. But soon it will take place on the deep seabed, which belongs to everyone, according to international law. Seabed mining for valuable materials like copper, zinc and lithium already takes place within countrie... more »
Aircraft Carriers May Not Always Reign Supreme (According to Russia)
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Europe* Could they be right? *Key Point*: Carriers aren't unsinkable, but they aren't dead yet either. The 2019 iteration of the naval exercise *Sea Breeze*, which brought together nineteen nations (mostly from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and thirty-two ships, ended in the Ukrainian port of Odesa on July 12. The exercise was apparently conducted without incident. The Black Sea has indeed become fraught with tension since the November 2018 Kerch Strait skirmish, which witnessed Russia’s violent seizure of three Ukrainian vessels, whose c... more »
Arms Embargo Or Not, Iran's Air Defenses Are Getting Stronger
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Middle East* Tehran's layered air defenses can pose a threat to U.S. aircraft. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Massed together, Iran’s air defenses provide Tehran with a degree of deterrence because they increase the difficulty, expense and time required to launch air attacks on Iran—particularly from regional actors. They pose a threat to non-stealth fighters unless suppressed, and can deny Iranian and Persian Gulf airspace to less agile aircraft like the RQ-4N drone shot down in June 2019. Iran’s military planners face an unenviable military ... more »
