Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * “We were able to pass ground targets to the F-35 so the F-35 could “effect” those targets, and we were able to pass target information from an F-35 to ground units so we could deliver effective fires in support of their efforts,” Brig.

Ross Coffman, Director, Next Generation Combat Vehicle Cross-Functional Team, Army Futures Command, told reporters in Yuma, Ariz. during Project Convergence 2020. *Yuma Proving Grounds, Arizona* - An advancing infantry unit breaks through a thick wall of enemy fighters when suddenly, while under heavy fire, soldi...
Conspicuous Gallantry at Tarawa: How One Marine Earned the Medal of Honor During World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Sandy Bonnyman led the way for other marines during a bloody assault and earned the medal of honor. *Key Point*: Bonnyman’s legacy lives on. Four Medals of Honor were awarded for acts of conspicuous gallantry during the invasion of Tarawa atoll in the Pacific during World War II. It is perhaps indicative of that four-day ordeal that three of them were awarded posthumously. The citation most covered in the press at the time, which caught the imagination of the American public, was given to the family of U.S. Marine 1st Lieutenant Alexander Bo...
Asylum Seekers' Alleged Hysterectomies Another Entry in a Long History of Forced Sterilizations
Jerry Flores, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Jerry Flores* *Human Rights, The Americas* This treatment constitutes human rights violations and genocide according to the standards established by the United Nations. Sadly, this treatment of Latina, Indigenous and Black women is nothing new. Multiple human rights groups recently joined a nurse in accusing a privately owned U.S. immigration detention centre in Georgia of forcibly sterilizing women.

*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_GM1EAB40S5V01&share=true] Even though Moscow and Washington do this to each other all the time, neither likes it when the other sends its patrols too close. Military leaders in Moscow may be feeling that potential adversaries’ efforts to probe their borders are occurring too often and, more importantly, too close for comfort.

*Is It Time for a “490 B.C. Project”?* *High Schoolers Need to Know Our Classical Heritage* When Americans knew classical history, they could reach beyond partisan differences by drawing on the shared roots of our civilization. American students once learned, for example, about the Greek victory at Marathon in 490 B.C. This kept Greece from being swallowed up by the Persian Empire and ushered in the Golden Age of Athenian democracy which, for all its shortcomings, was a pathbreaking achievement. Democratic Athens, counterbalanced by Sparta’s tripartite system, led to broad-based p...

Wouldn't call it a debate....
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 14 hours ago
I wouldn't call it a debate - more like a professional wrestling match. This is the reason why more people in America don't vote than those who do. They are sick of this shit. MB and I tried to watch it but turned it off after awhile. No redeeming value at all from either of them. We agreed that this debate is a clear reflection of the collapse of the US military and economic empire. Some years ago the corporate oligarchies that run this country said that they must turn politics into a food fight in order to turn off more and more American citizens. That way the oligarchs ...

Of Course, An Anti-Trump Landslide Is Baked Into The Cake
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
*Saving America by Nancy Ohanian* At this point, national polling for the presidential race isn't nearly as important as swing state polling. In 2016, Hillary won 65,853,514 (48.2%) votes nationally to Trump's 62,984,828 (46.1%). But Hillary's 2,968,626 vote victory didn't mean squat in the electoral college, where Trump won 304 votes to her 227. Polling shows that the vast majority of Americans have already made up their minds on the key issue of this election-- do they want Trump in the White House for 4 more years or not. The debates aren't going to change many minds, althoug...
MAYBE THAT WAS JUST THE DEBATE AMERICA NEEDED
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 16 hours ago
As I watched the beginning of last night's debate, my reaction was similar to Margaret Sullivan's: Chris Wallace wanted to be “invisible” as the moderator of the first presidential debate. “If I’ve done my job right,” he said on his Fox News show Sunday, “at the end of the night, people will say, ‘That was a great debate. Who was the moderator?’ ” It’s an absurd understatement to say that things didn’t play out that way Tuesday night. Wallace was far from invisible. Instead, he was ineffective. Profoundly so. And although some media observers were quick to trash the veteran broadc...

My fondest memory of him was winter 1963 or 1964, when he helped me with my taxes. I think I’d brought all the records home (to my parents) for Dad to help. Gramps came over and showed me how, with our duplex rental property, we would owe no taxes on the income. I found it stunning then, and even now, that by listing all our expenses and claiming something new to my vocabulary, depreciation, we owed nothing. The tax laws a...

*Kevork Oskanian* *Security, * Since September 27, the two adversaries appear to have relapsed into war, with heavy battles reported along the sections of the front line near the territory. These most serious clashes since 1994 have left at least 65 dead at the time of writing. Both sides are using a wide range of military equipment, including heavy tanks, long-range artillery and drones. Nagorno-Karabakh is a place name few in the West will recognise. But this small, unrecognised mountainous state with a population of about 150,000, is now the site of deadly ongoing clashes betw...
Meet the M3 37mm Antitank Gun: A World War II Weapon With Mixed Results
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Despite lacks of modern features and firepower, the 37mm cannon still served throughout the World War II. *Key Point*: The 37mm played only a very small part in the "Arsenal of Democracy." The men of Lieutenant Edwin K. Smith’s antitank platoon, 2nd Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division peered over the gun shields of their 37mm cannon at the column of Vichy French armored cars approaching their roadblock. It was 9 am on November 8, 1942. The platoon had been ordered to man a roadblock near the town of El Ancor, protecting ...
Taking Out the Battleship Tirpitz: An Incredible Tale of World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, * The British midget submarine attack on the mighty German battleship Tirpitz left the giant warship crippled at her anchorage. *Key Point*: The Tirpitz's ill-starred career came to an abrupt end in Tromso Fjord on November 12, 1944. By mid-1942, the towering German battleship *Tirpitz* stood alone as the largest, most powerful warship in the world. Despite rarely venturing from her lair deep within the Norwegian fjords, her mere presence in the region forced the British Royal Navy to keep a large number of capital ships in home waters to watc...

Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Technology, * One popular tech site declared: the best television for almost everyone. That seems about right.

What Makes People Comply with Coronavirus Restrictions?
Sheheryar Banuri, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Sheheryar Banuri* *Society, UK* In economics, there has been a sustained interest in the effects of sanctions on behaviour since at least the late 1960s. In particular, the literature on compliance in paying taxes, which has interesting parallels with the domain of health. The UK is under a new coronavirus regime – one in which pubs close at 10pm and businesses not deemed “COVID-secure” can be forced to close. That also means there is a new set of fines for those who break the rules, for example, by not wearing a mask in the back of a taxi. Compliance with coronavirus rules has...

Adam Marcus, Retraction Watch - 18 hours ago
The Journal of Biological Chemistry has retracted two papers by a group from the University of Toronto over what the leader of the research says were “misguided efforts” by a co-author to make the perfect Western blot. The retractions are among a batch of seven recent removals by the journal for image issues, some of … Continue reading Author says ‘misguided efforts for the ideal western blot led to the withdrawal of these studies’

Paul Homewood, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT - 18 hours ago
By Paul Homewood From GWPF: Researcher Steven Emslie also discovered what appears to be fresh remains of Adelie penguins, mostly of chicks. However, whether these “fresh” remains are a sign that the abandoned penguin site has become reoccupied again because of warmer conditions in recent years remains uncertain.

Via The North Belfast Journal A View from Napoleons Nose by Fra Hughes… Britain has been involved in duplicity and skulduggery in Palestine from the secret signing of the Balfour agreement in 1917 to ‘establish a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine’ to the partition of Palestine and the eventual birth of Israel […]
What game theory taught me about last night’s presidential debate
Luke Perez, Duck of Minerva - 19 hours ago
Last night’s debate might go down as one of the greatest in recent memory, and I am prepared to die on that hill. It was ugly. But it was also raw, unfiltered, and honest. It was thin on policy substance which is why I think the majority of my Twitter feed thought it was a […]
Jordan Peterson on why Marxism is attractive despite history’s record [Video]
Seraphim Hanisch, The Duran - 19 hours ago
Jordan Peterson is an extremely astute political scientist. Here he discusses what the attraction of Marxism in the present day is: it is not what you might expect. In the past, Marxism had primarily economic appeal to those choosing it. A mixture of various tyrannical states, some capitalist, some allegedly power hungry in the same […]

French President Emmanuel Macron is currently on an official visit to Lithuania and Latvia. Lithuanian public broadcaster LRT reported that such visit during COVID-19 is a demonstration of solidarity with the Baltic States. But it seems as if it has more pragmatic reasons. “We are working together, and we want to move forward together,” the […]

Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 20
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 19 hours ago
Tuesday has been another day on which the testimony focused on the extreme inhumane conditions in which Julian Assange would be kept imprisoned in the USA if extradited. The prosecution’s continued tactic of extraordinary aggression towards witnesses who are patently well informed played less well, and there were distinct signs that Judge Baraitser was becoming irritated by this approach. The totality of defence witnesses and the sheer extent of mutual corroboration they provided could not simply be dismissed by the prosecution attempting to characterise all of them as uninformed on ...

Seraphim Hanisch, The Duran - 19 hours ago
We want to give a major hat tip to “The Liberal Hivemind” whose editor (reputedly a former lefty who faced the truth) has been phenomenal in compiling all the information you are about to learn about in this video. While much of the information is considered circumstantial evidence, there is so much of it that it […]
Fed 2% Inflation LIE as Massive Inflation Already Happening! Here’s Proof.
Dewey Fernfield, The Duran - 19 hours ago
source We have seen a dramatic rise in inflation. Just don’t look at the CPI for the data. Really, it has been understated to the point where it’s not funny anymore. It’s deliberately shielding the public from the truth. The most important factor here is that people are buying everyday items and the prices are […]
Glenn Kirschner Jumps The Shark
TheDarkMan, The Duran - 19 hours ago
If you aren’t familiar with this dude, he was covered here in mid-August. While the moronic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can be forgiven for her lunatic pronouncements, and April Ryan can be excused for her Trump derangement syndrome, Kirschner has no such excuses. He was a career prosecutor, so clearly knows something about the law. And understands […]

China's Air Force is Flexing Its Muscles
Dean Cheng, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Dean Cheng* *Security, Asia* Yet, at the same time, the Chinese military suffers from a distinct lack of combat experience, and this affects how it portrays itself. China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force has been taking a more prominent role in Chinese military diplomacy. This was made abundantly clear earlier last week, when the PLA Air Force launched a series of aggressive shows of force near Taiwan in response to U.S. diplomatic visits to the island. The display followed a visit by Keith Krach, the U.S. undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy, and the environm...
How a ‘Napoleon’ Served in the American Civil War
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* Frenchman Alfred Duffie parlayed a bogus military background into a Union officer’s commission during the Civil War. *Key Point*: Settling into his new life in America, Dufie fabricated a story about his family and military background designed to impress his new American associates. Napoleon Alexandre Duffie was born on May 1, 1833, in Paris, France. His father, Jean August Duffie, was a prosperous sugar refiner and mayor of the village of La Ferte-sous-Jouarre. The family, originally from Ireland, had fled to France during the Cromw...
