Here it appears Biden was attempting to lament the decline of America’s automobile industry relative to where it was just a few decades ago. Or something.....

*UPDATED: October 13, 2020 *- *RT is reporting that, in hospitals in France, Women in Labour are Forced to Wear Face Masks! * This is an atrocity. As every mother knows...the most important thing during labour is the ability to breathe and to control your breath to maximize the ability of the contractions to do their work expelling the baby from the womb. Now they're gagging the mother and depriving her [and her fetus] of the necessary oxygen for a healthy birth. Does humanity need any *MORE* evidence that this is all a diabolical set-up?!!!

IRS 63: How Quickly Do Planets Form?

I’m startled by the findings in a new paper from Dominique Segura-Cox (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics), who argues that based on the evidence of one infant system, we may have planet formation all wrong, at least in terms of when it occurs. The natural assumption is that the star appears first, the planets […]
How To Stuff The Middle East With Weaponry
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 8 hours ago
The United States has the dubious distinction of being the world’s leading arms dealer. It dominates the global trade in a historic fashion and nowhere is that domination more complete than in the endlessly war-torn Middle East. There, believe it or not, the U.S. controls nearly half the arms market. From Yemen to Libya to Egypt, sales by this country and its allies are playing a significant role in fueling some of the world’s most devastating conflicts. But Donald Trump, even before he was felled by Covid-19 and sent to Walter Reed Medical Center, could not have cared less, as lo...
One Of The Best Climate Solutions Is Giving Indigenous People Their Land Back
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 8 hours ago
The work of our time is both slow and fast, rapidly transforming human society in the short and long term simultaneously. That can’t happen without re-examining our relationships with each other and with every other living thing on the planet. An honest one-sentence summary of the past 500 years is brutal reading: Tens of millions of Indigenous people around the world have been killed and forcibly removed from their lands in order to make rich and powerful white men even more rich and powerful. It’s still happening today. The post One Of The Best Climate Solutions Is Giving Indige...

Monument To Colonialism Toppled On Indigenous Peoples’ Day
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 8 hours ago
New Mexico - Visitors to the historic plaza in Santa Fe, a bastion of liberalism in northern New Mexico, will find a charming square in the Spanish colonial style, surrounded by shops selling native wares — typically sold by non-native peoples — and a monument at the center of it all celebrating the slaughter of the area's original, commercially monetized inhabitants. At least until Monday, when protesters marked Indigenous Peoples' Day by tying a chain around the monument, managing to topple it amid clashes with police.

*How to Beat Republicans at Their Own Game* I keep hearing from progressives who lament that even if Biden wins, Trump and McConnell have tilted the playing field forever. They point to McConnell’s rush to confirm Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, after blocking President Obama’s nominee for 293 days because it was “too close” to the next election. And to the fact that Republicans in the Senate represent 11 million fewer Americans than their Democratic counterparts, and are still able to confirm a Supreme Court justice and entrench minority rule.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, the 2019 form of coronavirus that has caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to a rush of studies searching for a vaccine to prevent infection and testing existing drugs to see which one can reduce the amount of virus in infected people. Drug development usually starts on a computer, then moves to cells and then animals. Animals, of course, are not little people, despite what anti-science activists like to claim in their war on food and chemicals, so if a drug works in all the preceding steps it will go to human clinical trials where it must survive the real ch...
