Queen Technocrat, Melinda Gates, Calls for Increased Censorship of Social Media Platforms

* You're shocked right? Of course the interview and accompanying video is in Finance at Yahoo News- Why might that be? Give a listen to the interview.* *"And one of the most influential names in tech and health care has a message to Big Social Media."* *How is it that Melinda Gates is an influential name in health care? Oh, yes, her influence comes via her wealth. Does being married to Bill qualify her as influential in tech? Must be wealth and status that gained her that label? Lots of wealth, much of it generated through alleged health care practices like vaccination. And no...

Britain’s Weather Getting Wilder–BBC
Paul Homewood, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT - 16 hours ago
By Paul Homewood I previewed the BBC’s Panorama report on climate change earlier this week, concentrating on the Met Office’s meaningless projections. However, the programme fronted by Justin Rowlatt focussed largely on Britain’s so-called “wild weather” this year. Naturally, this was accompanied by emotional footage of floods and so on, intended to give the […]
Free Elections In Venezuela Are A Blow To Regime Change
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Venezuela held legislative elections on December 6 and, as has become the norm, the U.S. and sectors of the opposition that boycotted the election are claiming fraud without presenting evidence. The coalition of parties supporting President Maduro won 68% of the vote and a supermajority in the National Assembly. All the evidence suggests the elections were free and fair. However, turnout was only 31%, a participation rate that was hampered by a partial opposition boycott of the election. This call to abstain was made by Juan Guaidó and his allies, but a different faction of the o...
EU apparatchiks want a 55% CO2 emissions cut by 2030
Luboš Motl, The Reference Frame - 16 hours ago
After the Covid hysterical demagogues have caused lockdowns that have subtracted ~10% from Europe's GDP in a quarter, and perhaps 5% of the GDP in a more permanent sense, I was shocked to find out that the Gr*tenist terrorists (which are pretty much the same people) are still around, too. We surely need to cripple the European economy more than it was crippled so far, they say. *EU leaders agree to cut emissions 55 percent by 2030* The price of carbon indulgences went up from €25 last month to €31 a ton of CO2 (now). It was below €3 in 2013. Poland (which still naturally exploit...

Prisoners at San Quentin State Prison are reporting that, over the past week, San Quentin medical staff have been pressuring prisoners to sign waiver forms accepting legal responsibility for their own deaths from COVID-19.

World’s Best Rifle? Russian AK-47 vs. U.S. M-16
Fritz W. Ermarth, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Fritz W. Ermarth* *Security, * Like the M16 and many other rifle arms since the early 1900s (and a few pistols, most notably Israel’s Desert Eagle), the AK-47 is gas operated. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *There is a relevant cultural and historical legacy at work here. American arms are informed by a history and a legacy in which a colonial farmer could shoot down a squirrel or a British officer with a rifled musket from a hundred yards. Russian arms, meanwhile, are informed by a history of a lot of peasant soldiers slogging through the mud to engage. No wonder, then, tha...
B-58 Hustler: This Nuclear Bomber Was Ready To Destroy Nations (but Never Saw Use)
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * The plane was nerely obsolete form the very start. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The B-58 Hustler would never see combat. On Nov. 11, 1956, the first B-58 Hustler took flight. It would never see combat. An exotic, beautiful bomber designed for high-speed nuclear strike missions, a change in Soviet tactics and a development method which dramatically hiked costs conspired to doom the Hustler — intended as a replacement for the jet-powered B-47 Stratojet. Convair’s delta-wing Hustler was in some respects a fantastic aircraft, and as a supersonic je...

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* Approximately 93 percent of gun homicides in the United States are committed with handguns. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *For decades the most popular long gun carried by police was the pump-action shotgun. Stored in a patrol car, the shotgun gave police the ability to overmatch the firepower of one or more criminals armed with handguns, or face down a riot or mob with a fearsome amount of firepower. Introduced in 1950, the Remington 870 may be sixty-eight years old but is still one of the leading-edge shotgun designs. American law enfo...

Both NATO and Russia Actively Planned Out World War III in Europe
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Given how the Cold War ended, and given how well NATO forces performed in Desert Storm in 1991, a kind of background assumption has taken hold that NATO could have stopped a Warsaw Pact advance in the 1980s. It’s interesting, however, that soldiers and analysts at the time had little confidence of this. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Since both sides planned to use tactical nukes with great abandon, it's unlikely that either side could have "won" at all.
