What Creates Progress?
History tells us that that progress has never been achieved without barbarity, ruthlessness, passion, and ambition. Nietzsche has addressed the matter in *Thus Spake Zarathustra*. He writes: “War and courage have done more great things than charity. Not your sympathy, but your bravery hath hitherto saved the victims. “What is good?” ye ask. To be brave is good. Let the little girls say: “To be good is what is pretty, and at the same time touching.” They call you heartless: but your heart is true, and I love the bashfulness of your goodwill. Ye are ashamed of your flow, and others ... more »

*Gerard Robinson* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] Currently, a very small percentage of incarcerated adults are eligible to use a Pell Grant to pay for education at 130 colleges and universities in 42 states and the District of Columbia. While the nation has been glued recently to wall-to-wall coverage of COVID-19, the Democratic and Republican conventions, and the protests across American cities, one item that has received little attention is a July 31 vote in the US House of Representatives that has the potential to change the landscape of higher education for incarcerate... more »

PL-01: Poland's 'Stealth' Tank Looks Ready to Fight Aliens or Russia
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * But looks can't kill. Will the tank ever make it into production or is it just another fancy mockup? While the Polish military likely feared an invasion from Russia, the PL-01 concept tank resembled an armored vehicle from science fiction video games.

Canada's Union Members Are Mostly Women. It's Time For Women to Lead Them

As Labour Day approaches, close your eyes and picture the typical union member in Canada. If you conjured an image of a man wearing a hard hat or working in a factory, you missed the mark. The typical union member in Canada is actually a woman who works in the public sector. She may be a teacher, a nurse, an office clerk at city hall or a mail carrier. All of these jobs are more likely to be unionized than those in the majority-male manufacturing, warehou... more »
Douglas XB-19 Bomber: Massive But Obsolete Right from the Start
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * Fact: The four-engine bomber was advanced when it was developed in the late 1930s and it began as a top-secret, top priority project. However, due to inconsistent funding, the production of the prototype dragged on for more than three years. What was the largest American bomber built during World War II?

Scientists Still Can't Find Any Major Differences Between Men's and Women's Brains
*Ari Berkowitz* *Science, World* [image: Reuters] So it’s not realistic to assume any human brain sex differences are innate. People have searched for sex differences in human brains since at least the 19th century, when scientist Samuel George Morton poured seeds and lead shot into human skulls to measure their volumes. Gustave Le Bon found men’s brains are usually larger than women’s, which prompted Alexander Bains and George Romanes to argue this size difference makes men smarter. But John Stuart Mill pointed out, by this criterion, elephants and whales should be smarter than... more »

Data scientist Youyang Gu’s machine-learning model, one of the more highly regarded coronavirus forecasts, is projecting another 20,000 or so US fatalities in September and another roughly 15,000 in October. That would put the total fatality count at around a quarter million — and maybe closer to 300,000 when you consider the likely “deaths above normal” under... more »
Is There a Place for Loved Ones in a COVID Patient's Last Moments?
*Melissa Bloomer, Stephane Bouchoucha* *Healthcare, * As a result of strict infection control measures restricting hospital visitors, tragically, many people who have died from COVID-19 have died alone. Family members have missed out on the opportunity to provide comfort to the dying person, to sit with them at their bedside, and to say goodbye. But it doesn’t have to be this way. While the number of new COVID-19 cases in Victoria continues to trend downwards, we’re still seeing a significant number of deaths from the disease. The ongoing outbreaks in aged care, and the fact com... more »

Israeli assassination techniques: terrorists in the crosshairs
I found it interesting to contrast a recent article about Israel's targeted assassination of an Islamic Jihad terrorist commander in Gaza with its attack, a decade earlier, on another Palestinian terrorist in Dubai. The Dubai attack was an embarrassment for Israel, because while it succeeded, it also exposed that country's external operations to international scrutiny. GQ magazine, which broke the story in 2011, notes: An elite Mossad hit squad traveled to Dubai to kill a high-ranking member of Hamas. They completed the mission, but their covers were blown, and Israel was humiliat... more »

Opinion: Bolsonaro, Trump and the Centrão: a Curmudgeonly Conspiracy Theory
RIBEIRÃO PRETO, SP - (Opinion) In a recent column, we posited that the resurgent “Centrão” bloc in Brazil’s Congress has supplanted the “300 Picaretas” of yesteryear, resuming their role as the President’s chief source of support, in exchange for patronage, power and profits. Bolsonaro’s purpose, not unlike that of his acknowledged idol Trump, is twofold: […] The post Opinion: Bolsonaro, Trump and the Centrão: a Curmudgeonly Conspiracy Theory appeared first on The Rio Times.

Black Lives Matter behavior resorting to tantrums for attention [Video]
One of the ways very severely mentally ill people act out for attention is to make physical threats against themselves in public. Another way is to attack random people they do not even know and scream hysterically at them about some issue or another. By contrast, those who are demonstrating for a cause rationally may […]
Thailand's "Youth Protests" Made in USA
US repeats "soft power" strategy targeting youths used to destroy North Africa and the Middle East amid the "Arab Spring" in 2011 to target China-friendly nations in Asia today. *September 8, 2020* (Tony Cartalucci - LD-ATN) - Imagine the reaction if the Russian government funded programs and events for years inside the US to create youth groups indoctrinated in support of Moscow's interests - particularly in regards to voting in US elections and the shaping of the US government itself.

What’s a Marxist? Someone who reads the published works of Marx and Engels. What’s an anti-Marxist? Someone who understands what Marx and Engels wrote.
Possible Methods of UFO Propulsion Examined - Part II
This is a really neat experiment and it worked. What i understand here is that the dark matter was spun out off the generator and it should be. This took the free electrons along with it to produce all the effects.. I have not run this experiment but it would be easy to set up. Obviously all this went dark and we continue to run around using nineteenth century notions. again my time line regarding 1955 for gravity control remains fully intact. Obviously Searle was not trusted or he did not trust them. As I have already posted one discovery does it all for the past 70 years of ... more »
Shift in World Balance of Power Coming || David Lifschultz
This is another exercise in speculation regarding intentions. It may inform. At least no one wants Silesia back. I have good reason to understand that the world is been sorted out. WWIII is presently underway and the good guys have won. This sounds absurd, but be calm and relaxed. A best outcome would include an United States of Europe led by founding president Putin. It would include an United States of China led by XI as founding president. Each would support an expanded confederacy if general influence as well to handle real economic disparacy. India and the USA are al... more »
UN Forced To Admit Gates-Funded Vaccine Is Causing Polio Outbreak In Africa
It was noised about decades ago that polio was extinct. No money to make in that case. So something is happening out there that truly begs the whole ethicy questilon. I now question the 1918 Spanish flu narritive as it may well have been a failed vaccine experiment. Circumstancial evidence supports such. Then the whole polio outburst and vaccination drive centered around sanitation discussions. And why a virus there as well. What is it we do not properly understand at all? Vaccination is an emergency measure to counter a known pathogen or 'virus'. Thus something is ser... more »
Revolution Is Being Institutionalized in the Federal Government
The bottom line is that all this is coming to an end. I am more amazed that it went on so long. None of it was ever secret and it worked asiduously to recruit useful idiots at all levels. Most are now toast. Understand that i saw this scheme in motion literally in the late sixties at my university. We all had the small band of local student Marxists.. They targeted the student press and media of course. Again it has always been a working conspiracy that pulled its own into soft ball government jobs. Hunt them out. We do not need folks this stupid around government. *Revo... more »
