The Reagan Regime Lives On
Gerard N. Magliocca, Balkinization - 16 hours ago
While the result of the election is unclear, one thing is clear: We are still in the Reagan Regime. The Reagan Revolution has nine lives. Some conservatives thought that Bush 41 was the killer. Others blamed the compassionate conservatism of Bush 43. I thought initially that the 2008 election was the end. Or the run-up to 2016. Or maybe this year. No dice. The GOP will (absent some incredible results in Georgia) control the Senate in the next Congress and probably in the one other that. And there's the newly beefed-up Roberts Court. To be fair to Jack, his terrific new book does ...
Why Taking US NED Money is Wrong
Land Destroyer, Alt Thai News Network ATNN - 16 hours ago
The National Endowment for Democracy has as much to do with promoting "democracy" as the illegal US invasion of Iraq - code name "Operation Iraqi Freedom" had to do with bringing "freedom" to the Iraqi people. And as it turns out the same circle of regime change promoters are/were involved in both. *November 5, 2020* (Brian Berletic - LD) - I cover the US National Endowment for Democracy’s (NED) board of directors - pointing out how many of them have been involved in some of the worst crimes against humanity of the 21st century including promoting and even participating in the in...

The Economist writes disapprovingly that the King of Thailand, Maha Vajiralongkorn, wants to restore an absolute monarchy. The article states that way back in 1932, revolutionaries proclaimed the end of Thailand’s absolute monarchy, and a monument was installed to mark the event. But in December 2018, it was removed.

* Unifying the Country Starts with the Education System* Jenna A. Robinson For many years, E.D. Hirsch has been an outsider in education circles. While the education establishment focused on critical thinking, child-centered education, and skills instruction, Hirsch insisted that content matters. Hirsch’s new book expands on that theme. In it, Hirsch repeats the evidence he laid out in his previous works on how the teaching of content affects learning outcomes—including reading comprehension—and student success. But he adds that teaching shared content has another benefit: It giv...
Coup Plotters Use Vote Fraud to Seize Power
Alicia, LaRouchePAC Feed - 17 hours ago
Coup Plotters Use Vote Fraud to Seize Power Video of Coup Plotters Use Vote Fraud to Seize Power Following the failure of their four years of effort to remove President Trump, the promoters of "Color Revolution" regime change coups have resorted to fraud, to steal the election. There are credible reports of irregularities in vote counting in four or five of the "swing states", designed to "swing" those states to Biden. There is a reason for this—follow the money, from Wall Street—to discover that the globalist financial establishment is counting on Biden to push through the digita...
Bolivia: A New MAS Government, Not More of the Same
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
For the ethical imperative of Buen Vivir, those who during the coup d’état hid, kept silent, and were complicit with the coup plotters, can no longer be public officials. Among these are the great majority of the former officials of the Morales government. They are also morally co-responsible for the massacres and humiliation of our indigenous brothers and sisters during the coup and under the de facto government.

Why the U.S. Air Force is Flying Russian Mi-24 Attack Helicopters
David Axe, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * “The [Mi-24] attack helicopter, due to its size, flight profile, firepower and defensive maneuvering capabilities, constitutes a unique threat creating a realistic, dissimilar and credible opposing force,” the Corps stated. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In the air-to-air mode, the Hind can use its nose-mounted cannon and unguided and guided rockets to attack enemy helicopters.

Russia's S-400 Is Seen by Many as a Fighter Jet Killer. Sweden Disagrees.

Trump Wants To Make A Deal With President-Elect Biden
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
*The Sound Of Music by Nancy Ohanian* I always just mention it in random posts but for the last couple of months I've been saying that Trump, who fancies himself the master deal maker, knew he wasn't going to win a second term and that all his threats and bluster and carrying on are just part of a pre-negotiation strategy. No one knows better than Trump what crimes he's committed. And he doesn't want to end up in prison-- and probably doesn't want his family to either, though I doubt he cares that much about most of them. It must have chilled him to the bone during the campaign ...

The origins date back to 1667 when the German state of Brandenburg introduced the Order of Generosity or Ordre de la Génerosite.
