"This is the first fact to remember about New Zealanders..."
Peter Cresswell, Not PC - 5 hours ago
*"For New Zealand is a good country. It has the feeling of being a very old country, though not at all in the European sense where countries are old with the marks of humanity... "New Zealand is very old, much older than any of this, and quite untouched by men. Its rocks and mountains are worn smooth by south Pacific winds. They are very cold to touch and very clean. The country, with its sharp hills, gives you the same feeling as the clear salt of the sea. The country is, in fact, so old in itself that none of us have dared to touch it; we have only just begun to live there. T...

Why America’s Refugee Reset Could Drive Away Valuable War Allies
Lawrence J. Haas, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Lawrence J. Haas* *Security, Americas* The administration’s refugee policy will jeopardize America’s ability to secure the cooperation of local populations when, at some point in the future, the United States again must take military action. The Trump administration is increasingly shutting the door on refugees who want to come to America and, even worse, shutting it on Iraqis who risked their lives to help America’s military and now face the threat of deadly retribution at home. Last year, the White House limited refugees to America to just 18,000, down dramatically from about...
The Visionary Milton Friedman and China
Rainer Zitelmann, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Rainer Zitelmann* *Economics, Asia* In keeping with Friedman’s teachings, the Chinese economic miracle confirms that greater prosperity for the people can only be achieved by expanding private property rights and promoting the free market. U.S. economist Milton Friedman won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1976. Prior to the prize announcement, almost a month before it was made, Mao Zedong died. Four years after Mao’s death, Friedman visited China for the first time. Upon his return, he predicted that China had the potential to mirror the rapid economic growth seen in Japan and G...
Chaos in the Caucasus: Why a New Regional War Would Be Catastrophic
Robert G. Rabil, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Robert G. Rabil* *Security, Eurasia* Israel could have a role in reducing tension in the Caucasus and should seek a resolution or a plausible armistice agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Armenians have blasted Israel for arming Azerbaijan with sophisticated weapons, rendering Armenian defenses near obsolete. The recent violent flare-up between the two countries over the disputed area of Nagorno-Karabakh underscored Israel’s qualitative cutting-edge arms in Azeri hands. Correspondingly, Arayik Harutyunyan, the president of the self-declared Artsakh Republic, the Armenian ...
The Similarities Between Coping with the Coronavirus Pandemic and Combat Operational Stress
Herb Lin, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Herb Lin* *Health, Americas* Depression, Anxiety, Irritability... Pandemic Stress Disorder sounds a lot like PTSD. Data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Census Bureau revealed that over 40 percent of the U.S. population in the third week of July 2020 exhibited symptoms of anxiety or depression disorder, which are clinical diagnoses. The comparable figure from the same survey given in the January–June 2019 time frame was 26 percent. Symptoms of anxiety or depression disorder included frequently having little interest or pleasure in doing thin...
New, Troubling Turkish Transgressions Could Damage U.S. National Security
Joseph Adam Ereli, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Joseph Adam Ereli* *Security, Middle East* American fecklessness has only served to reinforce Recep Erdogan's autocratic tendencies and to encourage his destabilizing regional adventurism. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s full-throated support of Azerbaijan’s aggression in Nagorno-Karabakh is but the latest in a long list of troubling Turkish transgressions against international peace and security in the strategically vital regions of the Caucuses, Levant, Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa. Taken together, Erdogan’s dangerous adventurism constitutes a serious threat to U.S...
Time For New U.S. Air Force Bombers That Don't Have Stealth?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * Earlier this month, Maj. Shane Praiswater suggested in an article published by Defense One that the U.S. Air Force should consider a new “non-stealthy bomber”—to handle the jobs being done currently by the B-1 and B-52 bombers. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The B-1 and B-52—even with upgrades—won’t be able to fly forever, and it is simply not fiscally possible to see a fleet of 225 or more B-21s in service. But as Praiswater also suggested, even if it were possible, the Air Force would have a bomber fleet that would be appropriate only for selecti...
Why Russia’s Poseidon Thermonuclear Torpedo Is Atomic Overkill

*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2X0I9C9O5Z&share=true] Even Dr. Strangelove would find this weapon to be a bit much. *Key point: *Moscow likes its doomsday weapons. The Poseidon is impressive and scary, but it may not be very practical. Russia has begun underwater tests of its Poseidon thermonuclear torpedo. The Poseidon is an 80-foot-long nuclear-powered submersible robot that is essentially an underwater ICBM. It is designed to travel autonomously across thousands of miles, detonate outside an ...
My Facebook Page Has Been Unavailable Much of This Weekend
Charles R. Anderson, Ph.D., An Objectivist Individualist - 3 hours ago
Much of this weekend, I have been getting this response to trying to see my Facebook page: Of course this might really be a technical error, though that is just identified in the notice as a possibility. Given the fact that I oppose a Joe Biden presidency and Facebook has been making pages unavailable when they refer to issues not favorable to Joe Biden, the reference to a possible technical error may well be a cover for Facebook censoring my Facebook page. When trust is lost, as it is when one party censors another, it is hard to believe the suggestion that the failure of my...
The Path of Resistance is a Lonely One – Whom do you Fear?
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 4 hours ago
In the opening chapter of the second book of the Bible, the book of Exodus, we have a record of the actions of two women who changed the course of human history, by defying their King's orders. "The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do." (Exodus 1:17) The result of the midwives' resistance and refusal to obey the King's edict, was that one of the baby boys who was spared was named "Moses" and went on to become a prophet of God and the leader of the Hebrews, delivering them from their bondage and slavery, and the one who met with Go...

The fire of our Mind and Spirit can be absorbed through a simple reading and application of consciousness, of heart. We know that man can inductively enter into a higher state.

Hitler Hated The P-38 Lightning, But It Truly Terrorized Japan
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* Despite its flaws, the P-38 was a rare early example of a successful “heavy” fighter boasting speed, range and firepower—similar to modern multi-role fighters like the F-15 and Su-27. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *However, the Lightning’s shortcomings vis-a-vis German fighters meant it never equaled the reputation of single-engine Mustang and Thunderbolt fighters. This is unfortunate, as the Lightning was the top-performing Army fighter in the Pacific War, its engines more reliable in tropical climates and its accurate guns more devast...
