whenever error is accepted as though it were real
-Confucius by Jack Fang, 1973-4, at San Jose’s Overfelt Park ……………………................................................................. 1) You see, whenever error is accepted as though it were real it becomes by the pressure of its acceptance a flaw in the foundation of the temple which each one is building. Such a flaw can throw the entire structure off-plumb for a lifetime (and succeeding lifetimes) unless and until it is corrected. -Jesus the Christ: *Corona Class Lessons*, 1963, see http://books.google.com/books?id=1X2QVI5tIhIC&pg=PA163&dq=clare+prophet+off+plumb&hl=en&ei=S... more »

Another India-Pakistan War Would Be Horrific For One Reason
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Pakistan is clearly developing a robust nuclear capability that can not only deter but fight a nuclear war. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Unlike neighboring India and China, Pakistan does not have a “no first use” doctrine, and reserves the right to use nuclear weapons, particularly low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, to offset India’s advantage in conventional forces. Sandwiched between Iran, China, India and Afghanistan, Pakistan lives in a complicated neighborhood with a variety of security issues. One of the nine known ... more »

Democrats Are Officially Republicans
The Democratic Party has ended any debate or dispute about its true nature. It is a party representing neo-liberal interests and international gangsterism, just like their putative opposition, the Republican party. Even a cursory observation of the recent Democratic National Convention proves that this assessment is correct. There were paeans of love to the late warmonger John McCain and even an appearance from his widow. A special segment was set aside for Republicans like John Kasich whose speech was used in part to beat down progressives and make clear that Joe Biden wants noth... more »

Insecticidal Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) cotton is the first and only GM (genetically modified) crop that has been approved in India. It has been cultivated in the country for more than 20 years. In a formal statement to the Supreme Court of India, the Indian government has asserted that hybrid Bt cotton is an outstanding success. It therefore argues that Bt cotton is a template for the introduction of GM food crops.

Control of the Senate Will Determine Our Nation’s Future Post-2020
The Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal published this analysis three days ago. The points made are critical to understand, and should serve as motivation to get out the [conservative] vote this November. I’ve added emphasis at a few points. The More Important Election Senate control will decide if change in 2021 is centrist or radical. Aug. 26, 2020 7:27 pm ET The party conventions are focused on the race for the White House, but there’s precious little mention of what is arguably the more important contest: The fight for the U.S. Senate.

Activists Occupy Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler’s Apartment, Recite “Demands”
Guess Ol’ Ted’s chickens have come home to roost. Whatever will the Progressive’s Darling Wunderkind do now? Plus, the building’s security guy called the Portland Police and – SHOCK! – they won’t respond to addresses in that neighborhood, for fear of being shot to death by mostly peaceful protestors armed with so-called assault weapons (which only need to banned from ownership by conservatives – just ask Kyle Rittenhouse). Maybe Mayor Dogsqueeze can just sleep and shyt in the street, alongside the many homeless his town hosts. Have you seen this story on CNN? MSNBC? Do you expect to... more »

"In The Long Run... We Are All Alive"
*"In The Long Run... We Are All Alive"* by MN Gordon "In 1976, economist Herbert Stein, father of Ben Stein, the economics professor in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, observed that U.S. government debt was on an unsustainable trajectory. He, thus, established Stein’s Law: “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” Stein may have been right in theory. Yet the unsustainable trend of U.S. government debt outlasted his life. Herbert Stein died in 1999, several decades before the crackup. Those reading this may not be so lucky. Sometimes the end of the world comes and goes, while s... more »
"Briefly..."
“A person who has not been completely alienated, who has remained sensitive and able to feel, who has not lost the sense of dignity, who is not yet ‘for sale’, who can still suffer over the suffering of others, who has not acquired fully the having mode of existence – briefly, a person who has remained a person and not become a thing – cannot help feeling lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society. He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity.” - Erich Fromm
Nuclear-Armed DF-26 Ballistic Missiles Could Decimate U.S. Bases On Guam
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The Chinese military considers U.S. bases in Okinawa and the Philippines to lie within “First Island Chain”—bases that could easily be used to launch attacks on China using relatively short-range warplanes. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Constraints on accuracy and intel likely limit the “Guam Killer” in its present form to being more of a harassment weapon than a reliable military threat—unless armed with nuclear warheads. However, Beijing will likely increase its accuracy, numbers and supporting intel assets in time. On April 2018, the ... more »
A History of Forced Sterilization in the United States

In August 1964, the North Carolina Eugenics Board met to decide if a 20-year-old Black woman should be sterilized. Because her name was redacted from the records, we call her Bertha.

According to the North Carolina Eugenics Board, Bertha had an I... more »
