After the inglorious Allied retreat through Burma in early 1942, with the ensuin...

Thoughts on Freedom and Slavery
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
Man creates a nation and depending on the political character of the nation, man is either free or a slave. The concepts of “freedom” and “slavery” come into existence after people come together to create a nation.

We would not have known what freedom is, if we didn’t have the experience of the nations where people exist as slaves. The idea of slavery is a precursor to the idea of freedom—the desire fo...

As NEC member Mish Rahman reported earlier, Keir means to and, well, effectively has stitched up parliamentary selections. The executive voted through a paper that will grant David Evans, the general secretary (and *unelected* party employee) the right to refuse a candidate selected by a constituency party if he determines they're unsuitable because they don't ...
Baseball Legend Hank Aaron Dead After Receiving the Experimental Moderna mRNA COVID Injection
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
Baseball legend and home run king "Hammerin Hank" Aaron died today, 18 days after receiving the Moderna experimental mRNA COVID injection. Aaron was 86 years old, and joins a growing list of seniors above the age of 80 who have died shortly after receiving one of the mRNA experimental COVID injections. Earlier this month we reported that 23 seniors in Norway, all above the age of 80, died shortly after being injected with the experimental COVID injections. The Pharma-controlled corporate media, while announcing Hank Aaron's death today, are predictably not mentioning the fact that h...
How Aircraft Carriers Would Have Changed Hitler’s European Conquest
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* They would have been no panacea, but they could have made a difference. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Germany and Italy didn’t need many carriers. In early 1941, when the war in Europe hung on a knife edge, a couple of carriers at the right time and place could have made a profound difference. Dictators are not in the habit of admitting mistakes. But if Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini could talk from the flames of hell, they might have advice for today’s America: don’t give up your aircraft carriers. Carriers today are being blown out of...

Russia’s Cold War Seaplane Almost Dropped Nuclear Bombs

*Michael Peck* *History, Europe* Today seaplanes seem an anachronism—cute flying machines that haul tourists in remote places like Alaska *Here's What You Need to Remember:* With airline passengers crammed like sardines, it’s hard to remember there was a time when airliners were more like ocean liners. In the 1930s, seaplanes were queens of the sky. Clipper seaplanes like the Boeing 314 were the 747s of the era, carrying passengers on long flights across the Atlantic and Pacific. Today seaplanes seem an anachronism—cute flying machines that haul tourists in remote places like A...
Why the Middle East Has Never Recovered From the 1967 Six Day War

*Michael Peck* *History, Middle East* Operation Moked changed the course of the 1967 war—and of history. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Yet there was nothing magical about the Israeli triumph. Careful preparation, abetted by Arab carelessness and a bit of good luck, had been rewarded. At 7:10 a.m. Israeli time, sixteen Israeli Air Force Fouga Magister training jets took off and pretended to be what they were not. Flying routine flight paths and using routine radio frequencies, they looked to Arab radar operators like the normal morning Israeli combat air patrol. At 7:15 a.m...
What Made the Essex-Class Aircraft Carriers So Powerful

*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* The Essex’s best defense and offense came from the new generation of aircraft she carried, all with ranges of a thousand miles or longer. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *While most of *Essex*-class vessels were decommissioned in the 1970s, the last still in service, the *USS Lexington*, remained active as a training ship until 1991. Four of the World War II fleet carriers still serve as museum ships in New York, South Carolina, Texas and California. Perhaps no vessel embodies the U.S. Navy’s embrace of the aircraft carrier as the center...
