Covid 33, CDC PH statement on lifting the lockdown
Bienvenido Oplas Jr, Government and Taxes - 17 hours ago
*CDC PH Calls for Lifting of the Lockdowns by May 2021* April 27, 2021 As President Rodrigo R. Duterte and his Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) once again deliberate on which type of lockdown to continue to imprison the nation under, the Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines (CDC Ph) would like to remind them that our people have already suffered enough under this wholly unscientific and poorly-crafted failure of a system for addressing the pandemic. We have not forgotten that the WHO itself appealed to world leaders to use lockdowns only as a last resort because of the...

Closing in on Centauri A and B with Astrometry
Paul Gilster, Centauri Dreams - 17 hours ago
When it comes to finding planets around Centauri A and B, the method that most intrigues me is astrometry. At the recent Breakthrough Discuss sessions, Rachel Akeson (Caltech/IPAC) made the case for using the technique with data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). My interest is piqued by the fact that so few of […]
How The Federal Reserve Is Increasing Wealth Inequality
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the Federal Reserve has gotten plenty of kudos for moves that have helped stabilize the economy, kept house prices from tanking and supported the stock market. But those successes have obscured another effect: the inadvertent impact the Fed’s ultra-low interest rates and bond-buying sprees are having on economic inequality. Longstanding inequality in the U.S. has been exacerbated by the Fed’s role in touching off a multi-trillion-dollar boom in stock markets — and stock ownership is heavily skewed toward the wealthiest Americans. In contra...
Our ‘Dear Friend’ Deby Is Dead
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
The tributes to the late President Idriss Deby just poured in last week – especially from Western leaders. And boy were the condolences nauseating – at least to anyone vaguely familiar with Chad and its longtime strongman, or those even faintly fond of decency. The worst of it came – unsurprisingly and unapologetically – from the country’s former (officially) and persistent (de facto) colonial masters in Paris. Coming right on the heels of Deby’s – still hazy on its exact details – death on the battlefield against a rebel rebellion, President Emmanuel Macron’s office released a st...
US Role Behind The Defeat Of Ecuador’s Leftist Presidential Candidate
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
The US role in the defeat of leftist Andrés Arauz in Ecuador’s presidential contest on April 11 was not overt because it did not need to be, according to a high-ranking Latin American diplomat. We met with the diplomat and others on an official election observation delegation with CODEPINK. Names of some sources remain anonymous due to a hostile political environment towards progressives. This setback for the Citizens Revolution movement, founded by Rafael Correa, will have profound implications for Ecuador and beyond, fortifying the US-allied reactionary bloc in Latin America. ...

Montreal Dockers Strike: Defy Back-To-Work Legislation
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Since the end of the seven-month truce on March 21, the bosses have been in attack mode. On April 12, the Maritime Employers Association (MEA) decided to suspend the job security plan. The dockers organized in CUPE 375 retaliated with an overtime and weekend strike. Then, on April 23, another slap in the face: the MEA changed work schedules to increase hours worked and implement “shift schedules” that make it harder to balance work and family—which is one of the main issues in the negotiations! This tactic of changing schedules is a contemptuous frontal attack. This was also impl...
Could China’s HQ-9 Unseat Russia’s S-300 Missile Defense?
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Missile Defenses, Asia* The HQ-9 is China’s primary long-range domestic surface-to-air missile. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What’s surprising is that Russia continues exporting the near latest missiles such as S-400 to China, when it’s likely that China will pump out an updated version of the HQ-9 for export with the same features within a few years, potentially cutting into Russia’s market share. The HQ-9 is China’s primary long-range domestic surface-to-air missile. Outwardly, it seems similar to the S-300, using large flat face radars and a large missil...
Not New, But Improved: How the M60E6 Machine Gun Got Upgraded

*Charlie Gao* *, Americas* Does this mean that the M60E6 is the best light machine gun on the market currently? *Here's What You Need to Remember*: The result is a gun that’s highly competitive with the latest machine guns on the market. In independent torture testing by Dan Shea of Small Arms Defense Review, the M60E6 averaged around 8,300 mean rounds between failures, a figure better than the M60E4 or M240 during 1994 Army tests. The M60 is one of the enduring symbols of the American firearms industry. Born out of a fusion of two WWII-era German designs, the original M60 had ...
Race, Poverty, Farming And A Natural Gas Pipeline

Five years ago, the mayor of Hopkins Park, a Black, rural community in Kankakee County, Illinois, argued for building an immigration detention center there to boost the economy. The people who lived there said: No, thanks. Mayor Mark Hodge now has another idea for new development in his town and the surrounding, historic farming community of Pembroke Township, south of Chicago. He’s backing a proposal for a pipeline, built by the utility Nicor, that would run through the area and, he hopes, bring with it natural gas and a boost to taxes and the local economy.

For Small Farms Surviving The Pandemic, Co-ops Are A Lifeline

Ian Colburn, Zoey Fink, and Casey Holland all operate small, diversified farms in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. The farmers already had plants in the ground in March when they realized restaurants and farmers’ markets—two of their biggest sales channels—would likely shut down due to the pandemic. Colburn of Solarpunk Farm worried his acreage was too small to support a robust Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program and that he hadn’t planned for the kind of crop diversity that model demanded. Fink works part-time at Farm Shark Farm with her husband. They already had a CSA...
The Best Intentions of Sir Ronald Cohen: Building the Crypto-Corrals of Social Investment

Or maybe not. In the summer of 1950, the Korean People’s Army (KPA) came tantalizingly close to rolling up UN forces on the Korean Peninsula. Only a heroic defense around Pusan prevented a total victory for North Korea (the DPRK), thus allowing MacArthur’s war-changing invasion at Inchon. But what ...
