Inexplicata (IHU), Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology - 7 hours ago
*The Forgotten UFO Wave of the 1980s* *By Scott Corrales* Many UFO authorities in the U.S. and Europe generally agree that the 1980s were a ‘lost decade’ for UFO research. Books were no longer published, magazines disappeared, and interest in the subject as a whole went into abeyance until the sensational claims of the early 1990s. In his editorial “A Ufology for the 1980s” (International UFO Reporter, March / April 1985) Jerome Clark wrote: “For one thing, since 1947 there has never been a period that has seen so little UFO activity […].

Alienation and Capitalist Domination
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 7 hours ago
Such an interesting discussion between Novara's James Butler and Peter Hudis, author of *Marx's Concept of the Alternative to Capitalism* among other books. The conversation ranges over Marx's concept of communism, what alienation is and its continued relevance, and the thorny issue of the negation of the negation. In other words, the establishment of the abstract forms of domination capital inaugurates and depends on. Peter also speculates on how contemporary Marxists would react to Marx if he happened to be about today. A long listen but a rewarding listen.

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
Montana and Colorado have both stopped attempts to pass Right to Work laws and will continue to be free bargaining states. In Montana, Republicans have control over the entire state government, a first in over 16 years. Yet, over the past month, union members and employers have successfully pushed legislators to vote against Right to Work. On Tuesday, with union members filling the gallery and lining the hallways, legislators voted down the bill by a vote of 38 in favor to 62 opposed. In a show of bipartisanship, 29 Republicans joined with 33 Democrats in opposing the bill. In sp...

YF-23: The Killer Stealth Fighter The Air Force Said 'No' To
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *YF-23, * The YF-23 was ready for a fight and armed with a fixed 20mm M61 Vulcan, while internal bays could house four AIM-7 Sparrow or AIM-120 AMRAAM medium-range air-to-air missiles, as well as a pair of AIM-9 short-range missiles. Military history is rife with "what-ifs" but among the lesser considered "alternate" paths that history could have taken is where a different platform was developed. In the case of the Northrop Grumman YF-23 perhaps very little would be different. The aircraft competed with the Lockheed Martin YF-22 in the Advanced Tactical Fighter Pro...
