*"Final Nail in the Coffin"* by Jim Rickards "The stock market was down today, but it’s still trading at record highs. The mainstream financial media will tell you it’s because the market is anticipating a robust recovery as the economy continues to reopen and vaccination numbers grow. But don't buy into the happy talk that all is well with the U.S. economy. The unemployment rate has indeed dropped. But initial unemployment claims are on the rise again. That's a trend that will show up as weaker job creation in the months ahead. The declining headline unemployment rate ignores ove...

Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Kris Osborn* *Nuclear Weapons, Asia* Beijing plans to at least double its arsenal by the end of the decade. *Here's What You Need to Know*: China is one of several reasons why leaders have stressed the importance of maintaining and adding to the U.S. nuclear triad.

Israel’s Trophy Missile Defense System Is Bad News for Hamas
David de Bruijn, The National Interest - 1 hour ago

Instead, Hamas has been most successful targeting Israeli armored personnel carriers. In particular, the gravest such incident saw seven Israeli soldiers killed when traveling in an outdated M113 armored personnel carrier. In typical war reporting, cas...

NGC 7814 is sometimes called the Little Sombrero for its resemblance to the brighter more famous M104, the Sombrero Galaxy. Both Sombrero and Little Sombrero are spiral galaxies seen edge-on, and both have extensive central bulges cut by a thinner disk with dust lanes in silhouette. In fact, NGC 7814 is some 40 million light-years away and an estimated 60,000 ...

America and Britain Once Planned to Nuke the Middle East’s Oil Fields
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Middle East* The goal of the American plan "was to keep the Soviets from tapping Saudi Arabia’s oil and refined fuels for up to a year in the event of an invasion." If Soviet tanks had invaded the Persian Gulf in the late 1940s, the U.S. and Britain had a plan. Blow up the oil fields. Possibly by detonating nuclear weapons. Declassified documents show that Anglo-Americans were so pessimistic in the early days of the Cold War about their chances of defending the Middle East, that they resolved to destroy the oil fields rather than let them fall into Sovi...
Stealth Galore: Why the Air Force Wants Even More New B-21 Bombers
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Air Force, Americas* [image: U.S. Air Force] It looks like that when it comes to all the Air Force wants to be able to do that it sees the B-21 and thinks it is time to go big or go home. *Key point: *The B-21 will be the most powerful and advanced stealth bomber on the planet. Having more of the warplanes would bring down the per unit cost and make it easier to maintain and repair them. The commander who oversees airpower in the Pacific region says the service needs long-range aircraft, tankers, stealth and hypersonics in the region to stay in front of what ...
In an Israeli-Iran War, Neither Nation Would Come Out Unscathed
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Israel Iran, Middle East* Should hostilities erupt, Iran will have to confront one of the most capable militaries in the world. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While Iran could undoubtedly overwhelm Israeli missile defenses by firing enough rockets, the Arrow system means Tehran can't be sure how many missiles would get through, or which targets would or would not be hit. The effect may be more psychological than physical (no less for providing psychological reassurance to the Israeli public), but it is still significant. *Editor’s Note: Please see previous w...
“I Know How to Live… I Don’t Know How to Die”

*“I Know How to Live… I Don’t Know How to Die”* by Bill Bonner “I’ve never done this before…” The woman on the bed was almost a skeleton. The flesh had already gone from her. What was left was an 86-year-old empty tube – shriveled, bent, used up. “I know how to live,” she said. “I don’t know how to die. I don’t know what I’m supposed to think or what I’m supposed to do.” “Don’t worry about it,” we advised. “It’ll come naturally. Do you need anything?” “Need anything? I need nothing at all. Absolutely nothing. I’m dying. And I have everything I need to do it.” “How about some more p...

Man Finds Out Government is Lying on a Monumental Scale, But Still Thinks They’re Doing Good
Rob Slane, null - 5 hours ago
A man who spent last year believing everything the Government and media said about Covid-19 and Lockdowns, only to find out that none of the things he’d believed are true, has announced his continued belief that they must be acting out of purely altruistic motives. Brian Sprocket, a 38-year-old teaching assistant from Barnsley, spent most of last year staying home, wearing a mask on the few occasions he ventured out, and ensuring he stayed away from all human beings, whom he regarded as walking virus carriers. But at the beginning of this year, he was forced to think for the first […]

Russia's Su-57 Stealth Fighter Is Now For Sale
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Su-57 Stealth Fighter, Eurasia* The Su-57 project will occupy a sizable chunk of Russian defense spending. The Kremlin is keen to offset as much of these costs as possible through a series of high-profile export contracts. Less than half a year following the introduction of the Su-57 stealth fighter jet, Russia is stepping up its efforts to sell foreign customers on its flagship fifth-generation multirole aircraft. Russia’s defense ministry reportedly received its first serial Su-57 unit in December 2020, with four more to follow over the course of 2021. These ...

Downright Scary: Russia's Sniper Rifles Can Pierce Through Body Armor

In the heyday of birtherism, some of the people who advanced the notion that Barack Obama wasn't born in America and was secretly a Muslim did it with a certain degree of deniability. Sure, there were pure birthers like Orly Taitz (and Donald Trump), but there were also people like House Speaker John Boehner -- now positioning himself as a foe of GOP conspiratorialism -- who didn't exactly say that Obama's origin story was a lie, but didn't repudiate it very forcefully: On Meet The Press ...

We all like revelations, but my joining millions of others in the great television turn off on the evening of Prince Philip's death probably does not qualify. Terrestrial TV, with the exception of Channel Four, was nothing but a blizzard of propagandistic Persil, of suds and foam on a rapid spin cycle laundering away the Duke's awful reputation. In the simpering tones only Nicholas Witchell can muster, we heard about Phil's keen love for nature, and from a retinue of former toadies about how his frequent racisms and "gaffes" were ice-breaking efforts at humour, of eliciting convers...

For as we perceive the darkness that is shortly coming upon Terra--the darkness not only of karma but of the final opposition from those who are gathering even beyond this solar system to tear down the light of Christ--we see that very few of the servitors of light (who have not the teaching, discipline and training that we offer) will be able to sustain a momentum during that period of transition and darkness. This is a period which of course will dissolve in the light of the violet flame, which of course will dissolve in sacred fire and which must give way to the circle an...
