Revisiting the Story of the Christmas Truce of 1914
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *World War I, Europe* While there is likely much fiction in the story, it is undeniable that a truce did occur. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The 1914 truce was to be the only significant attempt at quieting the guns by the soldiers at the front lines. On the night of December 24, 1914, the guns along the Western Front were mostly silent*—*and fittingly Silent Night or Stille Nacht in German began to be sung on both sides of the line. World War I*—* then known only as the war and eventually The Great War*—*was less than six months old, and while soldiers were hun...

Stimulus Money for Parents? Joe Biden Has A Big Plan Coming In July
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Money Tax Credit, * [image: Child Tax Credit] All told, the White House claimed in April that 66 million children would benefit from the plan. The American Rescue Plan, passed in March, has mostly finished sending out its round of stimulus payments. Of the money set aside for this purpose, around $380 billion has been sent out – primarily through direct deposits, and later through mailed checks. The $1400 payments from the American Rescue Plan succeed the $600 checks issued in the final months of the Trump administration, which themselves succeeded the...
The Conditions are Right for a Third Palestinian Intifada
Jonathan Michanie, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Jonathan Michanie* *Israel, Middle East* Those that seek to weaponize the frustrations and sense of hopelessness among Israelis and Palestinians are not advocating for peace but pushing two peoples down a road that inevitably leads to more death and suffering. It has been nearly two decades since Ariel Sharon, then the candidate for prime minister, visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Judaism’s holiest site and the third holiest in Islam. Weaponizing the flaming tensions, a radio broadcast by the Voice of Palestine featured then-Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat cry...
Over 1,000,000 Americans Have Rejected Their Stimulus Payment

Explained: Russia's Su-35 Fighter Jet
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Su-35, Eurasia* The plane is a super-maneuverable multipurpose fighter jet that incorporates many fifth-generation technologies. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Su-35 is a very capable platform that features important upgrades. Given that it is a modernized version of a Cold War era Soviet fighter, it could be easy to dismiss the Sukhoi Su-35. Described as a heavily upgraded “generation four plus plus” (4++) derivative of the Su-27 aircraft, the Su-35 might not seem all that threatening—even if the Su-27 has developed its own reputation as an agile and versati...
An Inflation Wake-Up Call for the Federal Reserve
Desmond Lachman, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Desmond Lachman* *economy, Americas* Unlike the Federal Reserve, the markets seem to be taking notice of recent incipient inflationary pressures. This is seen in a steady rise in the market’s ten-year inflation expectation to around 2.5 percent which now is in excess of the Fed’s 2 percent inflation target. Last week’s surprisingly low employment number at a time that the U.S. economy is booming should be raising red flags about the country’s inflation outlook. Indeed, those numbers should be drawing attention to the strong likelihood that when it comes to inflation, not only do...
Facebook Is Wrong: Fourth Round of Stimulus Money Not Yet Approved

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Money, * [image: Stimulus Check Drop] Earlier this month, one Facebook post stated that a fourth stimulus check worth $2,000 would be arriving by Memorial Day weekend to all eligible individuals. The post, which now has been flagged, was shared hundreds of times. There’s no question that anxiety levels of many cash-strapped Americans might be creeping a bit higher because it appears that the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department are in their final weeks of disbursing the remaining $1,400 coronavirus stimulus checks under the American Re...

No Paint Job Can Hide the Fact That Iran's Main Battle Tank is a Soviet Knock-Off

*Caleb Larson* *Iran, Middle East* In spite of the close similarities between the Karrar and the T-90, Iran claims that its newest tank is 100% Iranian-made -- although that seems nearly impossible. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The locally produced tank is rumored to be kitted out with a whole suite of modern components, including an “electro-optical fire control system, a laser rangefinder, ballistic computer and could fire at both stable and mobile targets in day or night.” Although Iran claims its Karrar MBT is 100% a ground-up Iranian design, it is likely largely base...

By Julian Rose Waking Times May 10, 2021 Rising-up almost perceptibly now, in an increasing number of individuals, is a powerful urge to give expression to truth at its profoundest level. This is the life-force itself, demanding action and urging all who feel it to step forward into the front lines of a great battle.

Really useful, well made canned food storage
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 18 hours ago
I've written often about preparing for emergencies, and more recently about the threat of inflation. In both cases, one of the generally recommended solutions is to build up a reserve supply of foods that you eat regularly, so that if the supply is interrupted, or prices get too high to be affordable, you have something to fall back on. To that end, canned foods are a vital part of emergency preparedness. For years I've used the cardboard CanOrganizer storage units. I reviewed them back in 2013. Sadly, it looks like the company making them is no more - at least, its Web sit...

First off, this transition to a vast work at home system was happening at a glacial pace, but it was happening. It was going to take a long time to work through the economy, but it was naturally happening. Then the pandemic happened and jumping into home mode became necesasary.

This naturally means a lot of office space is no longer a neccessity. Thus we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to reposition you relationship with landlords...

New Technology Finds Another Explanation For the Disappearance of MH370

That is the missing piece in the puzzle. There is ample reason to think that the pilot deliberately chose to do this. There is ample evidence of him doing extensive simulations on his own equipment prior to the event. It follows that he did a complete work around to avoid successful detection. That is what was missing the first time around. No one wanted to presume deliberate signal avoidence. Now for one more question. Did he go down with the plane? Just how suicidal was he? We also have a potential motive in the loss of four key individuals that begs that question. A per...
