Trump pledged to open classified JFK assassination files. What happened to that?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I do understand that information from that event has standing today and cannot be released yet. I also understand that it is been acted upon. So from even that perspective, disclosure is likely only months away. If it were only about Oswald then the hold is inexplicable. There really has to be a real and present value. Everyone then is now dead. We understand the chain of custody under the aegis of the CIA. It was also reported that CIA tardiness was met with a Marine recovery force who got the files. Either way Trump does have the scoop. Jusyt one more loose end not read...

With Coronavirus, Chinese Regime Launched a Geopolitical Masterstroke with Conrad Black
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
That remains to be senn. what this item makes clear is the logic for pushing COV 19 out in hte time and place. It actually looks opportunistic. It may well not have been part of a plan and plausible deniability is retained. Except coincideence says otherwise. They signed a trade agreement they could not live up to and the same day this hit the fan. The USA is positioned to execute a global network of CCP operatives forthwith. That will also have plausible deniability. Except Mil Intel tradecraft tells me that they have them all. Payback will be the destruction of the CCP g...
EPA forced to study Glyphosate
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Politics aside and the ongoing political war that ensures that it is almost impossible to bring change on this front, This is a real shift in the wind. I am no fan of round up, but i am also a fan of scientifically regulated use. We really do need to have limited access to DDT and the same type of rules can apply to roundup.. So yes it all needs to be fixed but not by switching hard left or right. This crap attacks the reproductive system inducing a loss of fertility. The meta stats say the same. We must get it out of the genral environment. *EPA FORCED TO STUDY GLYPHOSATE...

Congress Should Pass Paid Leave, Childcare for Families During Pandemic
Angela Rachidi, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Angela Rachidi* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Economists largely agree that federal relief efforts passed in spring 2020 reduced hardship among US households. They also agree that Congress should pass another round of relief as the pandemic continues. Congress responded to the arrival of the pandemic on US soil in spring 2020 by passing sweeping economic relief measures, including policies directed toward supporting the needs of families. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act guaranteed paid time off for workers employed by small businesses, for both medical and ch...

This Is What Makes the Glock 42 .380 ACP So Different
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, World* [image: https://us.glock.com/en/pistols/g42] It is all about the ammo. *Key point: *Glock makes very good guns. However, not all of them use the same sized ammunition. A combination of the successful Glock pistol design and a caliber invented by armsman John Moses Browning, the Glock 42 is certainly worth taking a look at. The pistol combines the Austrian gun manufacturer’s gun operating system with the .380 ACP pistol cartridge. The result is both a pistol for concealed carriers who desire a low recoil pistol and the smallest pistol in Glock’...
Hitler's "People's Militia" Was Supposed to Save Him From A Coup
Blaine Taylor, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Blaine Taylor* *History, Europe* The VS was intended to fight to the last man, bullet, and breath. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Hitler's paranoia was not helpful to Nazi Germany. On October 18, 1944—the 131st anniversary of the Battle of the Nations’ victory over Napoleon in 1813—Reichsführer-SS (National Leader) Heinrich Himmler stepped up to a microphone to make a national radio address announcing the formation of the Nazi Party-controlled Volkssturm, or People’s Militia. Standing with him was the new Chief of the General Staff, General Heinz Guderian; Dr. Hans Heinri...
Yes, the Military Does Want Flying and Underwater Drone Carriers
Robert Beckhusen, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2011%3Anewsml_GM1E77C0L1J01&share=true] These drone motherships could control whole swarms of armed robots. *Key point: *Smaller and more powerful drones are becoming a realty. Here is how they may be ferried into combat and control from a larger drone. If submarines possessed the high vision and quick speed of aircraft, they could dramatically extend their reach. If aircraft took off and landed from underwater platforms, their staging and strikes would be stealthier and mor...
The SR-71 is Still the World’s Fastest Jet (And Sits In a Museum)
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* The SR-71 was actually slightly less stealthy and high-flying than the A-12, but had different intelligence-gathering technology. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * The sleek and sinister SR-71 Blackbird looks like it belongs in a science fiction movie, though in fact the jet black spy plane proved far more successful at outrunning enemy missiles than any of the spaceships depicted in Star Wars. Though retired in the 1990s in favor of spy satellites and recon drones, it doesn’t look like any modern designs are likely to challenge the Bla...
The AR-500 Fires a Massive .500 Smith & Wesson Bullet
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* The endless adaptive nature of the AR-15 rifle platform has made it one of the most modifiable weapons in history. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The AR-500 rifle isn’t for everyone. Unlike the ubiquitous AR-15, recoil, weight, and cost per round will limit the weapon’s popularity. That having been said, there are situations where 3,122 foot-pounds of force, precisely applied, can make a world of difference in bringing down a large game animal or stopping a runaway car at a checkpoint. The endless adaptive nature of the AR-15 rifle platf...

This Weird Gun Fires 5 Bullets All at the Same Time
David Axe, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.fdmunitions.com/] Does the military think it is worth the investment? *Key Point:* There are new weapons being invented all the time. This one is especially unique, but it unclear if the Army will buy them for mass use. Colorado gunsmith Martin Grier has invented a new kind of rifle—one that can fire up to five rounds at a time through five carefully-aligned barrels, and also ditches traditional metal-encased ammunition for electronically-triggered caseless rounds. The L4 and L5—respectively, the four- and five-barrel version ...

India Has Never Gotten Over its 1962 Military Loss to China
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* In 1962, the world’s two most populous countries went to war against one another in a pair of remote, mountainous border regions. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In the short run, the war was undoubtedly a triumph for China, which had shown not only its strength, but also a degree of forbearance. The victory confirmed Chinese control of Tibet, and created the foundation for a strong relationship between Pakistan and China (the latter closely monitored Indian military performance during the conflict).
