What Happens January 6th, 20th And After?
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
This past week’s events are a harbinger of worse to come on January 6th and 20th. Contrary to Democrat Party leaders, the political crisis will not end on January 6, 2021 when Congress confirms the electoral college vote; nor on January 20 when they say Trump will be removed from the White House. These two milestone dates will simply reveal how deep the crisis of America’s truncated, capitalist form of limited Democracy has become. And how likely it will continue and deepen into 2021 and beyond. January 6 and 20 is not the ‘endgame’ of the attack on Democracy by Trump and his radi...
Polarization, Then A Crash: Michael Hudson On The Rentier Economy
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
I'm delighted to have Michael Hudson join us today. He'll be discussing how under a neoliberal shift from industrial to finance capitalism, today's most pressing economic conflict is not simply between labor and employers. It's a conflict in which rentier interests have the upper hand over labor, industry and government together. This is the political economy in which the COVID-19 economic shock is playing out with dire consequences. Michael Hudson is a research professor of economics at the University of Missouri - Kansas City and a research associate at the Levy Economics Institu...

Minnesota Is Changing The Way It Teaches Social Studies
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
Minnesota’s K-12 social studies standards are undergoing extensive revisions in search of a more inclusive approach that teaches about people previously left out of the discussion. A diverse committee’s first draft, now open for public comment, gives greater consideration to the Dakota and Anishinaabe tribes and covers for the first time the civil rights struggles of LGBTQ people. The draft standards, according to Doug Paulson, the state education department’s academic standards director, are “more inclusive” and “culturally affirming.” Still, some committee members think the fir...

*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_SP1EFA103NX07&share=true] Yes, a heavy machine gun that can cause a lot of damage does not have to be light in terms of weight. A common misconception about military small arms is that a “heavy” weapon must be heavier in terms of weight. This isn’t exactly the case, and when it comes to machine guns it isn’t the mass, but rather the rounds it fires and how such a weapon is employed. In some cases, a heavy machine gun doesn’t even need to be all that heavy and now the Ch...

Jonathan Cook — January 4, 2021 The unexpected decision by Judge Vanessa Baraitser to deny a US demand to extradite Julian Assange, foiling efforts to send him to a US super-max jail for the rest of his life, is a welcome legal victory, but one swamped by larger lessons that should disturb us deeply.

Whither the Reapportionment Data?

Lost in the bread and circuses of last week was the Commerce Department's statement that they could not meet a December 31st deadline for providing the census data necessary for the next reapportionment. The Supreme Court recently dismissed a challenge to the data collection process (in other words, counting the people who are in the United States illegally) as, in part, unripe. I strongly suspect that the census data will not be "ready" until January 21st. Then the issues raised in *Trump v.

Coastal states exercise sovereignty over territorial waters that normally extend 12 nautical miles from their shorelines. They also have the right to exploit undersea resources like oil and gas in exclusive economic zones that extend out 200 nautical miles. Economics rights can even be extended further to incorporate the entire continental shelf before the seabed falls off into a deep ocean basin. These lawyerly definitions are co...

Why the MK 14 Torpedo Failed to Sink Imperial Japan’s Navy

The detonator’s firing pin was found to be too heavy. A 3,000-pound torpedo striking a target at a speed of 46 knots imposed too much inertial friction on the firing pin, which prevented the heavy pin from traveling fast enough and from striking the detonator’s primer cap...
