Compromising the best - CCP Intel Combine
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Here, finally is the core problem. Useful agents are literally forced to commit heinous crime of Child rape and murder while the cameras are running. This is a complete nightmare and there is no escape. After that it is all over for the victims. They are effective slaves to their handlers. Understand that i expected enticement and capture of weak individuals. This nothing like that. We are talking about turning the best and the most honest even. I thought mind control was bad enough, but this is infinately worse because they strip the victim of their free will. This has be...

3 Keys to Understanding the Proposal to Audit the Presidential Election
Fred Lucas, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Fred Lucas* *Politics, The Americas* As with so many events politicians and pundits call “unprecedented,” there is precedent all around. In a move that isn’t without precedent, 11 Senate Republicans are pushing for a special panel to investigate questions of fraud arising from the presidential election. Some conservatives oppose such objections to the election outcome, in which former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, claimed an Electoral College victory of 306 votes to the 232 garnered by President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee. Other Republican lawm...

Anne-Marie Broudehoux, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Anne-Marie Broudehoux* *Environment, The Americas* Access to nature, wide open spaces and sports and leisure facilities has emerged as a vital need, with both individual and collective benefits. Will the COVID-19 pandemic prompt a shift to healthier cities that focus on wellness rather than functional and economic concerns? This is a hypothesis that seems to be supported by several researchers around the world. In many ways, containment and physical distancing measures have contributed to an increased recognition of the importance of public space as a gathering place and key too...
Few Vaccines Prevent COVID Infection: Here's Why That's Not an Issue
Sarah L Caddy, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sarah L Caddy* *Coronavirus, * In an ideal world, all vaccines would induce sterilising immunity. In reality, it is actually extremely difficult to produce vaccines that stop virus infection altogether. Vaccines are a marvel of medicine. Few interventions can claim to have saved as many lives. But it may surprise you to know that not all vaccines provide the same level of protection. Some vaccines stop you getting symptomatic disease, but others stop you getting infected too. The latter is known as “sterilising immunity”. With sterilising immunity, the virus can’t even gain a t...

As the Arctic Continues its Meltdown, Economic Exploitation Quickens
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
You must understand that during the past decade that the real ice volume has been steadily collapsing while only affecting surface coverage only a little. This process has started back around 1995 and became noticeble around 2010. It is now essentially over. The thick ice is gone. What we have now is a major winter freeze followed by a rapid spring breakup and melt out leaving a shadow ice flow intact through the whole summer. The shadow zone is mostly broken up old ice slowly been dribbled away and incoming new ice. The point of all this is that shipping can use most of the...

After all, the marks actually buy tickets to see this unique faux artifact, even if they think it is fraud. so you keep up appearances. hilarious even and i am a long time collector of bunkum stories for that rerason.

10,800 Years Ago, Early Humans Planted Forest Islands in Amazonia's Grasslands
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
They were already growing cassava very early and that uses wet lands. Building up a garden patch will also provide growing space for other species and for housing. The big news is the advent of corn which is not something you should never grow here. Yet we also know that corn is the precurser to making Biochar. This is also a factor in these garden plots. all good. This means that the biochar revolution started around 5000 BC or again at the beginning of hte global Bronze Age. . *10,800 Years Ago, Early Humans Planted Forest Islands in Amazonia's Grasslands* *Researchers ...
How School Closures Affect the UK's Infection Numbers
Derek Groen, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Derek Groen* *Coronavirus, Europe* Although school closures do lead to fewer infections, they only garner a small decrease in the number of hospitalisations. Whether schools should remain open or not has been the subject of much recent debate. The continuing rise in cases led the UK government to decide on January 4 that all schools in England are to be closed at least until the end of February, as part of a wider national lockdown. There is plenty of existing research to suggest that school closures can impair children’s development, their mental well-being, and lead to greater...

Dan Goure, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Dan Goure* *Security, Asia-Pacific* [image: Reuters] Dominating air, sea, and space is not an end in itself. It is an intermediate step toward the ultimate goal of controlling or denying critical land. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In containing China, the U.S. military needs to fight smarter - with clear and actionable goals and enough strength to back them up. The rise of China is the one overarching national security challenge for the foreseeable future, and it will be vital to continue maintaining stability in the Indo-Pacific region through deterrence measures.
