Alicia, LaRouchePAC Feed - 16 hours ago
Global Threat Level Raised, As Coup Drive Continues in U.S. Video of Global Threat Level Raised, As Coup Drive Continues in U.S. With all the attention focused on the U.S. election campaign, you may have missed the increasing chaos unfolding globally, which plays into the geopolitical intent of the oligarchic imperial faction—the same faction behind the ongoing coup against President Trump. A shooting war which has broken out between Azerbaijan and Armenia is one example of the explicit dangers, flowing from the provocations in place in the absence of face-to-face great power deli...

The Covid Deception
Ragnar, 'Nox & Friends - 16 hours ago
From Paul Craig Roberts: see the part about the USPS not delivering ballots…. Excerpts: We have been deceived by public health authorities about Covid, partly from public authorities’ ignorance of the virus, its spread and treatment, but mainly on purpose. One reason we were intentionally deceived by public health authorities, and continue to be deceived by them, is to create a market for a Covid vaccination. There are billions of dollars of profits in this, and Big Pharma wants them. The financial connections between public health authorities and Big Pharma means that WHO, NIH,...

Prepping for the election debate
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 17 hours ago
USAFacts.org is an excellent source of what local, state, federal entities spend using all the statistical sources that are published such as crime, health, and education. But because most of these organizations lean left even with interpreting dry statistics, one can still see a bias in how the “facts” are presented. Today it is outlining which topics might come up in the debate between Biden and Trump, such as “defund” the police.” US Census Bureau’s 2017 State & Local Government Finance Historical Datasets is the source of the data. It begins with a graph you should be famili...

Ulysses S. Grant was getting ready to leave the White House in 1876, when America experienced one of its most divisive presidential elections in history-- Samuel Tilden (D) vs Rutherford B. Hayes (R). There was an historically humongous turnout and Tilden won-- 4,288,546 (50.9%) to 4,034,311 (47.9%). But then it got sticky. [*NOTE:* The Democrats were the bad guys in those days and the Republicans were in the role, more or less, of today's Democratic Party, the lesser evil.] Tilden won 184 electoral votes to Hayes' 165, with 19 votes from 3 former Confederate states-- Florida, ...

How Humans Can Prevent a Mass Extinction of Wildlife
Tanya Wyatt, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Tanya Wyatt* *Environment, * Widespread destruction of the environment has taken place because human interests are overwhelmingly prioritised over environmental harms. In 1859, the English philosopher John Stuart Mill published the first of his two major works, On Liberty, which helped him become, as many agree, the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the 19th century. In that essay, Mill defined what came to be known as the harm principle. Stated briefly, it says: *The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised communit...
Why Switzerland Has Voted ‘Yes’ On Getting New Fighter Jets (Maybe F-35s?)
Michel Wyss, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Michel Wyss* *Security, Europe* Switzerland narrowly elects to modernize its air force but several questions remain. One of the particularities of Switzerland is the broad say its citizens have in political issues—even in matters of national security and defense. This Sunday, the Swiss electorate voted to purchase new fighter aircraft by the end of the decade. Even though poll ratings had predicted a conclusive result, the referendum wound up hanging in the balance. With fewer than 9,000 votes making the difference, the electorate very narrowly rejected the opponents’ claim tha...

Why Strategic Ambiguity Is No Longer Viable For U.S.-Taiwan Relations

*Yao-Yuan Yeh, Charles K.S. Wu, Austin Wang, Fang-Yu Chen* *Security, Asia* The new global order has made U.S. policymakers aware that the strategic ambiguity has largely left Taiwan underprepared for an armed conflict with China. Although some still hold a positive outlook for the trajectory of U.S.-China relations, many more now see different versions of a Cold War 2.0 as the basis for the interactions of the two hegemons. As more countries around the world start to flock to either one of the two camps, Taiwan, sandwiched in this rising power rivalry, has also been thinking abo...

President Trump's taxes: much ado about nothing
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 18 hours ago
The New York Times published an "exposé" of what it claimed were President Trump's tax returns. The article doesn't say how the newspaper came by his tax returns, except to note that they were provided to it. The Grey Lady might well be reticent about that - because it's a felony offense to release anybody's tax returns to a third party without authorization. One hopes that an investigation is underway into that. Be that as it may, the allegations that President Trump paid little or no tax for years are simply that: *allegations* - and badly supported ones at that. In the abse...

*David Walton* *Health, * Chronic health problems following trauma can rarely be predicted by the severity of the physical injuries. In August 2020, a woman walking along a neighbourhood street in my hometown of London, Ont., was the target of gender-based violence by a man believed to have committed similar violence against another woman six days earlier. Such incidents are far too common and likely under-reported, but when they do garner media coverage, the stories consistently include a line that I highlight here, verbatim from the news report: *“The woman did not suffer any ...

Gary Painter, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Gary Painter* *Society, Americas* More than 60% of formerly incarcerated individuals remain unemployed one year after being released.

As a result, a coalition of advocacy organizations, criminal justice reform advocates and everyday citizens have called for cities to take a wide range of actions to reduce the power and authority of local police departments.

Simon Nicholas Williams, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
