A New Free Trade Agreement Opportunity for Taiwan
*Michael Mazza* *economy, * [image: Reuters] With a foreign trade agreement, the Trump administration would leave a positive, enduring mark on the U.S.-Taiwan relationship. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen announced today that her government will ease restrictions on American beef and pork product imports. This is welcome news. The restrictions have been a thorn in the side of bilateral relations for far too long, with those limitations suppressing US agricultural exports to Taiwan since the early 2000s. To Taiwan’s detriment, those barriers have also stood in the way of a closer bi... more »
Jacinda Ardern's Social Media Success Story
*Sommer Kapitan* *Politics, New Zealand* Like US President Franklin Roosevelt used his radio “fireside chats” in the 1930s and ’40s to explain policy to Americans, Ardern's use of social media boosts perceptions of her authenticity and expertise. “Kia ora, everyone. I’m standing against a blank wall in my house – because it’s the only view in my house that is not messy.” So begins a 2020 campaign message posted by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Why I Said NYC Is Dead – James Altucher
James Altucher, ex hedge fund manager turned blogger, wrote about his concerns on the effect of corona virus and rioting on New York economic sustainability. People are leaving in numbers that will add to the economic crisis. James is a New Yorker and loves his city, but in raising the alarm he triggered vitriol from fellow New Yorkers about his article.

These parades, encouraged by their Dear leader, feature boats like the one pictured all dolled up like a Syrian pick-up truck that parades around flying the flags of ISIS.

Covid: science vs politics, propaganda, and obedience
Fewer than 900 deaths out of 5800+ Swedish deaths with Covid had Covid as the direct cause of death. In one interview after another, the Czech epidemiologists, infectiologists, and other doctors (mainly top doctors) repeat that they're not worried about the rising number of cases (note that nothing is rising e.g. in Sweden that has nicely reached herd immunity), the disease isn't a big deal, it must be understood as a disease that is analogous to flu etc. Despite this pretty much consensus (which is being increasingly incorporated into Czechia's loose policies, as I happily predicte... more »

Religious Leaders Can Be a Vital Resource in the Push for Immunization
*Holly Seale* *Public, Australia* Church leaders have expressed concerns some Christians may face an “ethical dilemma” over Australia’s COVID-19 vaccination plans. But there are many examples of religious community leaders helping vaccination programs. We tend to assume disseminating public health messages is solely the role of public servants such as Victorian chief medical officer Brett Sutton and his former federal counterpart Brendan Murphy, both of whom have become de facto celebrities during the pandemic. But to ensure vital health information reaches everyone in our commun... more »

There is No "Right to Vote"
*Morgan Marietta* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] The national debate over representation and rights is the product of a long-run movement toward mass voting paired with the longstanding fear of its results.

The Decarie Report Sept. 7
Sept. 7: I am running late because I ran into some computer problems. I hope to have them repaired on Sept, 8, and have the blog ready late on September 10. Meanwhile, I am dismayed by a factor in all the research sites. In the 1950s, as major corporations recovered from the war - and the years of poverty that preceded it - the leading super-rich, especially in the U.S. and Canada, organized their control over economic activities in North America. Their control had always been there. But they greatly magnified it, leaving democracy - never very strong in Canada and the U.S. - a... more »

I had no intention of writing anything further on the Salisbury/Skripal case, unless something of real significance came up.

The One Percent Blunder: How a Simple But Fatal Math Mistake by US Covid-19 Experts Caused the World to Panic and Order Lockdowns
[image: undefined] In February, US Covid guru Anthony Fauci predicted the virus was ‘akin to a severe flu’ and would therefore kill around 0.1 percent of people.

This was the prediction that Covid, if left unchecked, would kill around one percent of us.

Bulletins From The Trailing Edge Of The Pandemic
If it can work anywhere, it can work here. I live in a county in NW PA, with relatively small population (50K or so). And our schools are all open. We have been subject to the same rules as the rest of the state, and like pretty much everything in PA, the folks in charge have made their rules based on Pittsburgh, Philly and Harrisburg. This is Trump country, so plenty of folks are anti-maskers, but we haven't had any of those ugly assaults. I think we benefit from one aspect of small town life-- when you meet that minimum wage worker at the door of the business, you probably alread... more »
Kentucky Court Rejects Immunity Claim for Social Worker Illegally Entering Home and Strip Searching Children
Thanks to a ruling in a federal district court in Kentucky last [month], a child welfare investigator can no longer claim qualified immunity for bullying their way into a home and strip-searching children without cause. The case, Josiah Curry, et al v. Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, et al, arose from a 2017 incident. On a cool March day, Holly Curry opted to leave her children asleep in her van while she went into a café to get them some muffins. She was inside less than ten minutes, but thanks to an anonymous hotline tip, she was met by a police officer when she ... more »
Repairing the Rule of Law: An Agenda for Post-Trump Reform
President Donald J. Trump walks at Joint Base Andrews, Md. Thursday, August 20, 2020 (Official White House Photo by Tia Dufour/https://flic.kr/p/2jyh6M7/Public Domian) As the U.S. begins to see the light at the end of the Trumpian tunnel, it is time to begin thinking about the issue of repair. One should not assume the result of the election, but it is nonetheless worth asking the question: What should be done in a post-Trump world to restore the rule of law? Of Trump’s many excesses, his assault on legal norms has to rank high in terms of damage to fundamental values that form ... more »

Could China Soon Close the Military Gap With the West?
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* The question of China’s military capability has been on experts's minds for many years. *Key Point*: China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is on track to become the dominant force in the Asia-Pacific. In an article from the Brookings Institution titled “China’s Hollow Military,” writers Bates Gill and Michael E. O’Hanlon pondered the question, “how good is China’s military, and how much should the United States care?” The two noted that Beijing launched missiles near the Taiwanese coast, while the People’s Republic of China (PRC) made claims on is... more »
Mobile Chernobyls: How Russia's Old Submarines Are Truly Nuclear Nightmares
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * This is just an accounting of major accidents on the November-class boats—more occurred on Echo- and Hotel-class submarines equipped with the same nuclear reactors. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *As the Soviet Union was succeeded by an economically destitute Russia, many decommissioned nuclear submarines were left to rust with their nuclear fuel onboard, leading to safety concerns from abroad. International donors fronted $200 million to scrap the hulks in 2003. The United States launched the first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS* Nautilu... more »
The Push for National Security Amid a Global Pandemic
*Mackenzie Eaglen* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The truth is that public safety and national security are equally important. That is because the military only supports the former mission while it helps lead the latter, just as it should be. In July, *Politico* ran two opinion articles making the conservative and liberal cases to “Defund the Pentagon.” Both agreed on a fundamental premise to justify defense cuts: The United States military did not protect the American people from COVID-19. The ongoing pandemic is increasing calls from all sides to spend more on public he... more »
Fact: North Korea Already Tested a Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles in 2015
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, Asia* Respected North Korea analysts are sounding alarm bells that North Korea could soon test an SLBM "for the first time". That's not exactly, nor should we should panic if they test again. Is North Korea preparing to inaugurate a new round of weapons testing with a submarine-launched ballistic missile? And if so, will it be timed to the U.S. presidential election calendar in a not-so-subtle attempt to poke President Donald Trump in the eye as he fights for his political life? If you happened to glance at the latest satellite imagery report from... more »
