NATO Proclamation At Annual Summit Threatens The Peace
The NATO proclamation—promoted at its annual summit this week—that a cyber attack could trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty heightens the risk of military confrontation with Russia or China. So does a new stipulation—announced at the summit—that space attacks could trigger Article 5. Russia has already been accused of testing space-based anti-satellite weapons, which could be adopted as a justification now for war. Article 5 says that the NATO alliance regards an attack on one of its members as an attack on all of them. That is supposed to come into play only in case of an armed... read more

14-Day Global Campaign Demands Justice For Victims Of Bolivia Coup
On 10 November 2019, the democratically elected government of Evo Morales in Bolivia was overthrown by a US-government supported military coup. The coup regime, also supported by the UK and the European Union, presided over mass human rights violations and was met with widespread resistance from social movements in Bolivia. This pressure ultimately led to new presidential elections in October 2020 which resulted in the defeat of the coup with Morales’ party Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) winning a landslide victory in the first round. The MAS’s Luis Arce assumed the presidency o... read more
Myths And Facts About Genocide
The Biden Administration has chosen to echo the same propaganda claims against China that were made by Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Both the Trump and Biden administrations are charging the Chinese government with the crime of genocide against a minority people, the Uighurs, in Xinjiang Autonomous Region in western China. This campaign coincides with an economic war with China, which includes tariffs and sanctions. It also comes as the Pentagon has announced a new military doctrine which prioritizes and prepares the United States with a war on China. What are the facts... read more

180 Seconds Was All It Took for Israel to Shoot Down 5 Russian-Made MiGs
*Michael Peck* *Aviation, * Under three minutes. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Israel decided that the Soviets needed to be taught a lesson. That lesson would be carefully prepared and delivered. With Russian-speaking Israeli radio operators monitoring Soviet communications, the IAF had a pretty good idea of the force they faced. On July 30, 1970, five Soviet MiG-21 fighters were blown out of the sky by the Israeli Air Force. And all in three minutes. *(This first appeared in April.)* As America, Russia, and Israel today face-off in Syria, the story forty-eight years ago... read more

But it is also a known fact that there are millions of Americans who are still struggling to pay for their basic everyday needs—which is why so many are keeping a close eye on when the IRS will issue ... read more

On Sept. 6, 2014, the U.S. Navy decommissioned the frigate USS *Halyburton *at the vessel’s homeport in Florida. The 453-foot-long *Oliver Hazard Perry*-class vessel—named for a medic who died in the 1945 battle for Okinawa—spent just over 30 years in commission. *Halyburton *was many things in her decades of service.

He had lost the election. Clement Attlee of the Lab... read more

But given that the YF-23 was generally perceived to be the more innovative (and therefore riskier) design, and that it had a slightly higher price tag, the chances that it could have sailed through without a hitch are correspondingly low. *More From The National Interest: * *Yes, America Has ... read more

Militarisation of Space Threatens Security in New Zealand
The recent Rocket Lab launch of US Military 'Gunsmoke-J' was for 'warfare combat targeting' and is among many satellite launches preparing for warfare in Space and on Earth. In the light of New Zealand's higher 'national interest' and values, it is disturbing, but not surprising, that the NZ government gives permission for the US Space Missile Defence Command (SMDC) payloads because they provide lucrative contracts to Rocket Lab and the NZ Space industry. The New Zealand Space Industry seeks opportunities for NZ economic development in commercial services, environmental and sc... read more

For the Symposium on Kurt Lash, The Reconstruction Amendments: The Essential Documents (University of Chicago Press, 2021)(2 vols.).

द ट्रीज़ ऑफ़ द फ़ॉरेस्ट डिलाइट इन जॉय - एमएन हॉपकिंस द्वारा एक प्रवचन
*इस एहसास पर आएं कि इस दायरे में सारा जीवन इस भ्रम पर आधारित है कि प्रेम सभी पर विजय प्राप्त करता है। प्रेम न जीतता है न हारता है। प्रेम एक भावना है जो ब्रह्मांड की शक्तियों के साथ मिलकर व्यवस्था और जीने का एक कारण लाती है। क्योंकि प्रेम के बिना जीवन वास्तव में आपके दायरे में एक जीवित नर्क होगा। बहुत से लोग भय और उग्र भावनाओं से प्रेरित होते हैं और बहुत कम लोग उस आनंद को देख सकते हैं जो सभी चीजों में निहित है। बारिश की बूंदों में खुशी है तो सूरज की किरणों में भी खुशी है। जंगल के पेड़ अपने दायरे में रहने वाले बड़े और छोटे सभी चीजों की आवाज़ के माध्यम से उन्हें प्रसारित आनंद में प्... read more

As of this morning, no statement has come from the Green leader. In the wake of last night’s meeting, two members of the national council resigned, both from the Maritime region. In... read more
