Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* As I write this on Tuesday afternoon, Hurricane Sally has parked itself, barely moving, in the Gulf Of Mexico, bashing a length of coastline from the Florida panhandle through Alabama and Mississippi all the way to Baton Rouge. Because it's stationary, the weather forecasters had to up the possible maximum rainfall totals from up to 15 inches to up to 30 inches or more. The residents in multiple areas may even be assaulted by not the usual one storm surge but two. Do I hear three? The coastline is low level to begin with. Would I live in such a place? No. But millions of... more »

STUPID: Reuters Daydreams ‘Nobel Peace Prize’ For Greta Thunberg

If You Like Lockdowns, You’ll Love Biden’s Empty, Green Future

World Bank Warns The Global Economic Recovery Could Take "Five Years"
*Zero Hedge:* *World Bank Warns Recovery Could Take "Five Years"* Global economic activity around the world has stabilized in mid-September, though far below pre-COVID-19 levels as recoveries risk reversing if monetary and fiscal stimulus is not continued at rates seen in the first half of 2020. We noted Wednesday, a new OECD report offered some hope the global downturn is not as severe as previously thought but is still viewed as an "unprecedented" decline. We also noted the OECD report is problematic for policy-makers who have unleashed easy-money policies during the pandemic t... more »

Why The USS Enterprise Was An Aircraft Carrier To Truly Be Proud Of
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* And its name lives on. *Here's What You Need To Remember: **Enterprise* proved the viability of nuclear power for aircraft carriers, but in hindsight that was the most forgettable of its achievements. it circled the globe three times, conducted twenty-five overseas cruises and completed an astonishing four hundred thousand aircraft landings in its lifetime. It flew combat missions from Vietnam to Afghanistan, and over its lifetime tens of thousands—if not hundreds of thousands—of sailors served as part of its crew. The first nuclear-powered a... more »
The U.S. Army Can't Win a War Without Fixing This One Big Problem First
*Michael Peck* *Security, Americas* Maintenance issues could seriously hinder U.S. war efforts. *Key Point*: Should conflict suddenly erupt in Europe, U.S. troops might find only broken weapons and vehicles waiting for them. It’s easier to transport soldiers than tanks. That’s why the U.S. military maintains prepositioned stocks of weapons and supplies in depots near potential conflict zones, enabling arriving soldiers to grab their equipment. But if conflict erupted in Europe, U.S. troops might find broken weapons and vehicles waiting for them, according to an audit by the Depa... more »
What the 1973 Arab-Israeli War Can Teach Military Planners Today
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* The lessons are not so obvious, but they remain important to this day. *Key Point*: Even in the darkest hour, a war can be won. The shrill cry of the shofar—ram's horn—blowing on the morning of October 6, 1973, did more than herald the start of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. It also marked the start of one of the most dramatic conflicts in history. For nineteen days, modern war raged in all its violence and chaos as Egypt and Syria launched a massive surprise attack against the outnumbered and unprepared Israel Defense Force (IDF)... more »

Bank Of England *Canadian Press:* *Bank of England eyes sub-zero rates in face of virus, Brexit* LONDON — The Bank of England indicated Thursday that it could cut interest rates below zero for the first time in its 326-year history as it tries to shore up a U.K. economic recovery that is facing the dual headwinds of the coronavirus and Brexit.

Could Moscow's Missile "Shield" Destroy American Nukes in a War?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Eurasia* Russia has the only capital city in the world surrounded by a nuclear missile shield. *Key Point*: The A-35 system was originally designed to protect Moscow and the Kremlin against six to eight nuclear ICBMs. The most heavily defended city in the world is not Washington, DC. It’s Moscow. While the District of Columbia has legions of Secret Service and Homeland Security police defending it, the Russian capital is the only one in the world—that we know of—defended with nuclear-tipped missiles. It’s all the result of an exception built into a for... more »
How American Society Teaches Everyone to be Racist
*Benjamin Waddell, R. Nathan Pipitone* *Culture, Americas* Racism is so deeply interwoven into the nation’s culture that it is embedded in the neural processors inside our skulls. This is true for minorities and nonminorities alike. Progress toward a more just and equitable society may be on the horizon. Since the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer in May, around the United States, millions of people have taken to the streets, statues have been felled, leaders have been fired and pressured to resign, and activists-turned-politicians have gained traction in prominen... more »

What Bill Barr Said and What it Means
Attorney General William Barr at the White House, Sept. 2019 (Official White House Photo by Shealah Craighead, https://flic.kr/p/2hd8vXf; Public Domain, https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/) Attorney General Bill Barr’s Constitution Day speech to a gathering organized by Hillsdale College has sparked a furor, both because of the speech itself and because of his bizarre claim in answering a question that states’ coronavirus response ranks as the greatest civil liberties violation in the nation’s history—other than slavery. It wasn’t Barr’s only weird spontaneous momen... more »
Do You Consider Barr More A Crime Fighter Or More A Crime Spree?
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"
* 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* *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* *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* *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* *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 »
