Do You Consider Barr More A Crime Fighter Or More A Crime Spree?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 minute ago
Yesterday, *Wall Street Journal* reporters Aruna Viswanatha and Sadie Gurman wrote that Barr told Justice Department prosectors that he wants protesters charged with sedition. Wikipedia defines Sedition as "overt conduct that tends toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or resistance against, established authority" and reminded it's readers that "in 1940, the Alien Registration Act, or 'Smith Act,' was passed, which made it a federal crime to advocate or to teach the desirability ... more »

Climate Change Apocalypse: "Permanently Immunized From Falsification"

Francis Menton at Manhattan Contrarian - 13 minutes ago
* In last Saturday’s post, I provided a quote from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy that encapsulated the gist of the scientific method: “[T]heories that are permanently immunized from falsification . . . can no longer be classified as scientific.” * That seems simple enough. Surely we ought to be able to keep track of that one basic precept to distinguish the science from the non-science. * In practice, it turns out to be not so simple at all. To illustrate, let’s consider the latest from the climate apocalypse movement. * For today I’ll put aside the grand foretellings of p... more »

These 5 Weapons Helped Nazi Germany Easily Conquer Europe

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 33 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Europe* The Panzerfaust made anyone—even old men and children dragooned into the German Army late in the war—a potential tank killer. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Not only did the U-boat campaign force the Allies to slow the flow of troops and war materials across the Atlantic and organize shipping into convoys for protection, it also affected the British civilian population, which suffered chronic shortages of foodstuffs and other goods. Initially powerful, U-boats were eventually nullified by Allied countermeasures and ultimately failed to seve... more »

Iran's Army Is Huge, But There Is A Reason Why No One Fears It

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 33 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* Iran's missiles get all the attention. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Much like China’s army in the 1980s, the Iranian Army and other ground forces are large but poorly armed. Iran’s sheer size, both in geography and population, are a deterrent to invasion. With Iraq struggling for its own survival, Tehran’s ground forces generally exist to secure the borders and keep the existing system of government in place. One of the most powerful and influential countries in the Middle East is undoubtedly Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran sits ... more »

Why No Military in the World Can Match the U.S. Army

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 33 minutes ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Americas* The U.S. Army can generate an astonishing amount of firepower and deliver it in a variety of settings. *Key Point*: The Army's weapons are among the best in the world. When it comes to lethal weapons, the U.S. Army has no shortage. Some may be too expensive, some too complex and others may be desired by politicians and defense contractors, but not the troops on the field. Nonetheless, today's U.S. Army can generate an astonishing amount of firepower and deliver it in a variety of settings from small-war counterinsurgency to big-war mechanized ... more »

Trump Is Wrong: Vote-by-Mail Fraud Isn't Nearly as Easy You Believe

Charlotte Hill, Jake Grumbach at The National Interest - 33 minutes ago
*Charlotte Hill, Jake Grumbach* *Politics, Americas* The Postal Service coordinates with state and local election departments to flag any ballots that deviate in even minor ways from typical procedure. Voter fraud is very rare, whether people vote in person or by mail. That much is clear from a large body of research. One of us is a political scientist at the University of Washington, and the other is a former elections commissioner who now studies voting laws. We can explain why voter fraud is so rare – especially for mail-in ballots, which have drawn both the interest and conce... more »

Forget the Nukes: North Korea Has 5,000 Metric Tons of Chemical Weapons

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 33 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* This is the threat we should be really worried about. *Key Point*: Chemical weapons serve an important operational role for the North Korean military. In recent years, North Korea’s chemical weapons have taken a backseat to her nuclear weapons. They are, however, no less dangerous. The deterioration of the Korean People’s Army (KPA) makes them more essential to victory than ever before. For both practical and doctrinal reasons, North Korea will almost certainly use chemical weapons in wartime, from riot control to lethal nerve gases. Chemical we... more »

On Samkhya Position on God and the Vedas

Unknown at The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
The Samkhya is perhaps the only system of philosophy in the world which appears to doubt the existence of god but accepts revelations—it venerates the *Vedas *as revealed texts which are eternal and whose authority is beyond doubt. The school holds there are three kinds of evidence or instruments of knowledge: perception, inference, and the testimony of the *Vedas*. But if the existence of god is in doubt, then whose revelations are the *Vedas*, which Samkhya recognizes as an instrument of knowledge? Max Muller is among the scholars who believe that it’s wrong to see Samkhya as an... more »

Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi – credits 9-3-2020 Zhao did not limit himself to words. As more than 300,000 students went on strike in Inner Mongolia and refused to attend classes, protesting the replacement of Mongolian with Chinese as the primary language of education, the CCP identified “ringleaders” and published wanted lists in different cities (see an example here).

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are small, and so are their armed forces.

Governments Will Impose New Lockdowns If they Think they Can Get Away with It

[image: undefined] This year’s stay-at-home orders and lockdowns imposed by governments on their populations represent a watershed moment in the history of the modern state. Before March 2020, it is unlikely that many politicians—let alone many ordinary people—thought it would be feasible or likely for government officials to force hundreds of millions of human beings to “self-isolate.” But, it turns out governments were indeed able to force a sizable portion of the population to abandon jobs, religious practices, extended families, and community life in the name of “flattening the... more »

As always, my purpose is to reveal news stories from reliable sources. Most of the commercial news media have never been reliable. They have been owned by people of wealth who used the news to propagandize (lie) for their owners. With very few exceptions, this is still true. Indeed, the only reliable commercial print news is the Guardian and Israel's Haaretz. For radio news, the BBC originally was honest. But those days h... more »

Democrats Are Not European-style Socialists. They Are Worse.

If I had to describe the single most disturbing thing about today’s totalitarian socialist leaning Democrat Party, I’d be hard-pressed because the number of possible choices is so large. But if I may, give an observation as a former resident (and also citizen) of a Social Democracy on a point that I don’t think most Americans fully understand. What distinguishes social democracy from other forms of socialism is that when social democrats lose an election they accept the results. That was true in Sweden when the Social Democratic party finally had to give up power after about 50 ye... more »
