A “Pre-Check System” for Defense Reprogramming
Frederico Bartels, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Frederico Bartels* *Defense, * Congress could automate the reprogramming process for Department of Defense transfers, making an onerous system vastly more efficient. When you’re operating a military as big as the United States’—especially in a time of pandemic—flexibility is key. So why is the House of Representatives making it harder for the Department of Defense (DoD) to adapt at this critical time? Congress recently approved a $1.6 billion request and then a second request of $1.3 billion from DoD to move appropriated funds from one account to the other to help the Pentagon ...

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] A war with Finland involving merely mathematical equations would be a short one indeed. But much of the Russian strength was more apparent than real. The hugely cynical German-Soviet nonaggression pact, concluded in August 1939, assigned the Baltic region of eastern Europe to the exclusive sphere of influence of Communist Russia. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin immediately embarked on a program to annex traditionally Russian-dominated territory in the area, including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, to serve as an ...

*October 17, 2020* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - Recent attacks on Syrian positions from terrorists of the self-proclaimed "Islamic State" (ISIS) and the release of thousands of prisoners in US-occupied eastern Syria illustrate how Washington is demonstratably prolonging instability in Syria as part of its promise to transform the nation into a "quagmire" for Russia and Iran. Newsweek itself, in an article titled, "U.S. Syria Representative Says His Job Is to Make the War a 'Quagmire' for Russia," had admitted earlier this year that: *The U.S. special representative for Syria has u...

College Coronavirus Madness Can Put Students at Risk of Dying in Fires

[image: undefined] Despite most college students being at very low risk of becoming seriously sick from coronavirus, much less dying from it, colleges across America have implemented extreme, often prison-like, restrictions on campuses in the name of countering coronavirus.

Billionaire wealth has hit a record of 10.2 trillion dollars during 2020. Individual Liberty and Big Government are mutually exclusive.
