181 Dead in the U.S. During 2 Week Period From Experimental COVID Injections – How Long Will We Continue to Allow Mass Murder by Lethal Injection?
Brian-Admin, Medical Kidnap - 21 hours ago
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a U.S. Government funded database that tracks injuries and deaths caused by vaccines. Currently, data from the two experimental mRNA COVID injections that have been reported for a two week period from the end of December through January 13, 2021, shows 7,844 cases, including 181 deaths. The largest amount of deaths occurred in people over the age of 75. If during pre-COVID times less than 1% of all vaccine injuries and deaths were reported to VAERS, let's make a conservative estimate and say that because it is widely known that ...

JR, GREENIE WATCH - 22 hours ago
* Toxic secrets behind your mobile phone: Electric cars, wind turbines and solar panels... how our so-called green world depends on the mining of rare metals which is a filthy, amoral industry totally dominated by China* Past the suburbs of the Chinese city of Baotou, below a quadruple carriageway, a lonely path led me to an embankment bristling with pylons, each with a security camera watching for intruders. This is how I reached the Weikuang Dam – an artificial lake into which metallic intestines regurgitate torrents of black water from the nearby refineries. I was looking at ten...
Frustration at 'Panorama'
Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 22 hours ago
Sticking with the same paper... *The Mail on Sunday*'s Jonathan Bucks reports that BBC journalists working on a John Ware-fronted *Panorama* special investigation into how Martin Bashir obtained his famous interview with Princess Diana - and a possible BBC cover-up over it - "have complained that BBC bosses are unwilling to co-operate". They are said to feel "frustrated" after "the Corporation denied them easy access to even the most basic documents". Producers trying to access the BBC’s broadcasting guidelines from 1995, when the interview was broadcast, were told they woul...

Petr Kellner's transactions look like pure, clever, and ethical capitalism to me
Luboš Motl, The Reference Frame - 22 hours ago
Petr Kellner is the wealthiest Czech. A Forbes list shows his current net worth as CZK 293 billion (USD 1 = CZK 21.5 now; so it is $13.6 billion). The following four men, Vítek, Křetínský, Babiš (the prime minister), and Komárek, only have CZK 86-71 billion. Kellner became his convincing journey towards being an almost crown billionaire soon after the Velvet Revolution when he founded some PPF funds that participated in the voucher privatization (only 11th by size at that time). By now, he has lots of assets in Russia and China (he probably wants to exit the latter because it's not ...

* My article in BusinessWorld, January 19, 2021. On Jan. 20, outgoing US President Donald J. Trump will leave office and new US President Joe R. Biden will be inaugurated. We can review the US economic performance under Mr. Trump in the last four years and compare this with other countries, as well as US performance during the second four-year term of former President Barack H. Obama with Joe Biden as his Vice-President. First among the indicators is growth of the gross domestic product (GDP).

*Jennifer Ho* *Politics, The Americas* Anyone confused about Kamala Harris’ multiraciality may recall that the U.S. is a nation that was not built by a single ethnic or racial group. News that Sen. Kamala Harris was Joe Biden’s choice for the 2020 Democratic vice presidential nominee drove speculation and argumentation about her identity. The big question appeared to be, “Is Kamala Harris truly African American?” There were numerous articles and opinion pieces about whether Harris can legitimately claim to be African American; the authenticity of her Black identity if she has an...

Therefore, I would oppose his policy initiatives as best I could within the bounds of the law.

Russia’s Anti-Putin Protests Will Increase Tensions Between It and America
Michael Kimmage, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Michael Kimmage* *Russia, Europe* The revival of potent pro-democracy opposition to Putin after four years of Donald Trump proves an important point about U.S.-Russian relations. When Donald Trump became president, he vowed to transform U.S. Russia policy, and he did. He refused to characterize the United States as morally superior to Russia. He spoke admiringly of Vladimir Putin. As in other parts of the world, Trump eschewed democracy promotion in Russia—most effectively by placing the democratic bona fides of the United States in question at home.

The Creation of the Universe
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
One of the teachings of the Vedas is that the Brahman, who is the ultimate principle and mover of the universe, does not dwell in the universe; rather, the universe dwells in him. Thus the Brahman does not create the universe, he becomes it—creation is not an act; it is an expression of the potentiality of the divine. The ancient Jewish texts preach a similar dictum—they say that God is the abode of the universe, but the universe is not the abode of God.

Let’s Not Screw It Up.* Domestic conditions in the U.S. over the last year have been so poor—a pandemic, a recession, an insurrection—that a casual observer could easily conclude the Trump years were a non-stop nightmare. The truth is more complicated. Not only did the economy grow steadily during Trump’s first three years, but some institutions actually benefitted from his priorities. The U.S. Army is a case in point. When Trump took office in early 2017, the service was worn out from 16 years of continuous warf...
These 5 Civil War’s are Some of the World’s Deadliest Conflicts
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, World* When a country is threatened with dissolution or partition it strikes at the heart of nationalist sentiment. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Congo Civil War claimed the lives of 5.4 million people over a period of five years. This translates to nearly 3,000 fatalities a day, a shocking number given the general lack of conventional, decisive combat. There are many types of civil wars. Sometimes, such as the American Civil War, one segment of the population simply wants to leave and set up a separate country. Other times an upstart politica...
Why Disenchanted Conservatives are Voting for Democrats
Leon Hadar, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Leon Hadar* *Politics, Americas* The growing antagonism of college-educated and professional Republicans towards Trump has only intensified over the last two years of his administration, and especially in the wake of his failed response to a pandemic that has killed so many Americans and devastated the country’s economy. The decision by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to send the impeachment article passed by the House to the Senate has been celebrated by many Democrats as a demonstration of the need to do the right thing, as they underline the constitutional basis for impeaching an...
China Will Use America’s Partisan Divisions to Pressure the Biden Administration
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Americas* At a time of unprecedented polarization in Washington, China’s foreign policy apparatus is leveraging Donald Trump and the Trump era as a convenient foil in its ongoing attempts to achieve a diplomatic reset with the Biden administration. Joe Biden has assumed the helm of a nation rent by deep political divides. But even as the new administration continues to grapple with chronic distrust from millions of Americans, there is one place where the advent of a Biden presidency was hailed with overwhelming praise: China. Beijing has followed up...
Life After Angela Merkel
Wolfgang Pordzik, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Wolfgang Pordzik* *Security, Americas* Germans will vote for a new chancellor in September—and they might be voting for a new future too. After all, today’s Christian Democratic Union is deeply divided. German voters will decide on the succession of Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sept. 26, 2021. Some sixty-two million eligible voters will elect 709 members of the federal parliament (Deutscher Bundestag) who in turn will select the next chancellor. In October 2018, Merkel issued a surprise statement of resignation from political life. The chancellor relinquished leadership of the...
America’s New Great-Power Problem
John Hemmings, James Rogers, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*John Hemmings, James Rogers* *Security, Americas* As an authoritarian state, contemporary China, much like the Nazi and Soviet regimes before it, has proven adroit at integrating the dimensions of state power to the extent that it appears more successful than the fatigued and exhausted liberal democracies. We often seek lessons from history. Thucydides famously wrote that he wished for his *History of the Peloponnesian War* to be “useful for by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the interpretation of the future.” Winston Churchill wrote that h...
Has Public Schooling Failed America?
Neal McCluskey, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Neal McCluskey* *Education, Americas* Clearly, widespread public schooling has not prevented the decay of social cohesion and democratic norms. Could public schools have prevented the disgraceful, riotous attack on the U.S. Capitol? The question seems crazy. The mob, or at least a sizeable portion of it, was outraged and apparently convinced that our system of government had gone off the rails. That it had cheated them. How could public schools have done anything to stop that? It would, of course, be wildly unfair to blame public schooling for the breakdown of social cohesion ...
How The 2003 Iraq War Permanently Changed America’s Future
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* In the case of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it became apparent after the first few months that the war was not working out as its framers had envisioned. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The biggest change likely comes in a reassertion of the traditional reticence of the American public towards foreign military intervention, a reticence that waned after the fall of the Soviet Union, but has again become a major factor in the making of American foreign policy. And if this reticence limits America’s strategic flexibility to make horrifical...

*Michael Peck* *Security, * The Air Force and Navy will only buy each other's aircraft if the politicians force them to do so. *Key Point*: Fortunately, in the end, the Air Force and the Navy got the fighters they wanted. Just not the same fighters. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, a Dynamic Duo symbolized U.S. military airpower. The Air Force had its powerful F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter. But the Navy had the sophisticated swing-wing F-14 Tomcat, glamorized by the movie *Top Gun*. Yet had events worked out differently, the aircraft that Tom Cruise flew could have been an… F-...
A heritage property in Sir Sandford Fleming Park is falling apart. Will the city do anything about it?
Philip Moscovitch, Halifax Examiner - 1 day ago
When I saw an online petition to save Sir Sandford Fleming Cottage in the Dingle Park, I tried to picture the building. I’ve been in the park plenty of times, and as I traced the routes of the park’s roads in my mind, I could see various other buildings in my mind’s eye, but not […]

1-23-21 Russian state TV largely ignored the protests, but pro-government online streams baselessly accused Navalny of brainwashing Russia’s youth into dissent, a line often advanced by the authorities in attempts to discredit the opposition movement. https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-navalny-anger-corruption-showdown-putin/31065510.html ………………………………………………………………. 1-22-21 A 19 year-old Tibetan monk has died of injuries sustained from beatings and torture in a Chinese prison in Sichuan’s Kardze prefecture after being released in a comatose state by his jailers, Tibetan so...

"A Look to the Heavens"

"No, hamburgers are not this big. What is pictured is a sharp telescopic view of a magnificent edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 3628, a puffy galactic disk divided by dark dust lanes. Of course, this deep galactic portrait puts some astronomers in mind of its popular moniker, The Hamburger Galaxy. The tantalizing island universe is about 100,000 light-years across and 35 million light-years away in the northern springtime constellation Leo. NGC 3628 shares its neighborhood in the local Universe with two other large spirals M65 and M66 in a grouping otherwise known as the Leo Triplet. Gravit...

"Not Such An Easy Business..."
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 1 day ago
“Over the years you get to see what a struggle life is for most people, how tough it is, how easy it is to be judgmental and criticize and stand outside of situations and impart your wisdom and judgment. But over the decades I've got more tolerant of people's flaws and mistakes. Everybody makes a lot of them. When you're younger you feel: "Hey, this person is evil" or "This person is a jerk" or stupid or "What's wrong with them?" Then you go through life and you think: "Well, it's not so easy." There's a lot of mystery and suffering and complication. Everybody's out there trying to...
Chet Raymo, "Know Thyself"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 1 day ago
*"Know Thyself"* by Chet Raymo "The ancient Greek aphorism, attributed to Socrates and others. Good advice, I'm sure. If only we knew what it means. Is it the same as the "examination of conscience" we were asked to perform as young Catholics? "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned." Well, yes, it is good to ask ourselves if we have lived up to our highest moral aspirations. But surely "Know thyself" means more than that. Does it mean to be aware of our self-awareness? That is to say, not to act impulsively, but reflectively. Thoreau's "I went to the woods because I wished to live d...

The Remnant
SafeSpace, 'Nox & Friends - 1 day ago
Dear readers: Know that there is powerful precedent for the situation in which we patriots find ourselves, and it is found in faith. Christianity’s early apostles spoke the truth of the gospel and of the eternal rewards in store for true believers. And they were persecuted, stoned, used as human oil torches by the fear- and hate-filled cultures in which they lived. Christians today live in faith, sharing the good news of the gospel message – and increasing their numbers – in virtually every repressive nation on our planet. The Lord God has made a covenant with His flock. Its … Contin...
