"A Look to the Heavens"
“The dark Horsehead Nebula and the glowing Orion Nebula are contrasting cosmic vistas. Adrift 1,500 light-years away in one of the night sky's most recognizable constellations, they appear in opposite corners of the above stunning mosaic. The familiar Horsehead nebula appears as a dark cloud, a small silhouette notched against the long red glow at the lower left. Alnitak is the easternmost star in Orion's belt and is seen as the brightest star to the left of the Horsehead. Below Alnitak is the Flame Nebula, with clouds of bright emission and dramatic dark dust lanes. The magnificent ... read more

Haunted Deserts: UFOs in the Emptiness
*Haunted Deserts: UFOs in the Emptiness* *By Scott Corrales (c) 2017* Many years ago I wrote an article for FATE magazine about lost civilizations in our planet’s desert areas – regions that may have once been suitable for large, organized communities, even cities, but had which had succumbed to erosion and were now simply uninhabitable. Even in the Sahara Desert we find the ruins of Roman settlements in desert oases, otherwise hospitable locations that settlers had to abandon due to a proliferation of scorpions, for example. They may be the repository of lost civilizations, ... read more
Joe Biden Just Condemned America to More Chinese Espionage—and Worse
*Todd Bensman* *Espionage, * President Joe Biden has canceled the repair put in place to prevent espionage and instead bestowed a priceless gift on People’s Liberation Army intelligence services: continued American vulnerability. For nearly two years now, the FBI has nabbed dozens of Chinese Communist Party spies who, while posing as graduate students and research scholars at top academic institutions, siphoned out America’s most cutting edge national defense material for untold years. The spies, many secretly members of China’s military services, had to get in close to do damage... read more
Are Stealth Tanks the Future of the U.S. Military?
*Michael Peck* *Tanks, Americas* The Pentagon’s future tank could resemble a stealth fighter jet more than an armored behemoth like the current M1 Abrams. *Here's What You Need to Know*: In the eternal race between tanks and anti-tank weapons, today’s tank-killers are winning. The Pentagon’s future tank could resemble a stealth fighter jet more than an armored behemoth like the current M1 Abrams. The military wants a vehicle that can survive lethal anti-tank missiles, but without having to haul around so much armor plate that it can barely move. It should also have stealth capab... read more
The Soviets Had a Plan to Crush the American Navy and It Almost Worked
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Europe* Moscow planned to use its bombers, fighters, submarines, and anti-ship missiles to sink America's aircraft carriers. Although it would have been difficult, the Soviet Union planned to throw everything they had at the problem. *Key point:* Soviet preparations for Anti-Carrier Warfare stretched into the submarine realm. In the event of World War II, the Soviet Union planned to go after the U.S. Navy’s fleet of aircraft carriers in a big way. The carriers were a flexible and powerful weapon that could operate at the peripheries of Soviet power, do... read more
Not Even Close: North Korea Is No Match For Its Southern Neighbor
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* It’s a David vs. Goliath standoff where Goliath requires help from an even greater power and lacks the strategic focus to concentrate on his adversary. *Key point:* North Korea may have nuclear weapons but its conventional forces and economy are largely a joke. South Korea is much more powerful and advanced than North Korea. One of the most baffling military standoffs in modern history is that between North and South Korea. It’s a David vs. Goliath standoff where Goliath requires help from an even greater power and lacks the strategic focus to co... read more

What They Don’t Say About Cuba
The old-style information war that we have been experiencing for this last week against Cuba, did not start with Biden. Since 2017, the US has been incessantly and inaccurately talking about a social explosion in Cuba with its magical solution of a “humanitarian intervention.” At the same time, Trump progressed in his litany of adding more sanctions to the blockade, 243 to be exact, which have been kept intact by the current administration.

Media Play Up Protests, Play Down Effect Of US Sanctions In Cuba

Amazon Rainforest Is Releasing More Carbon Than It Stores

Afghanistan War Outcome
Ali Fahim, recently said in an interview with The Tehran Times: “The arrival of [newly elected Iranian President] Ebrahim Raisi at the helm of power gives a great moral impetus to the resistance axis.” Further, with new administrations in the United States, Israel, and Iran, another opportunity presents itself to reinstate fully the 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement, as well as completely lift the US economic sanctions from Iran.

Svetlana Tikhanovskaya: ‘With Biden’s Help We Will Prevail’
*Jacob Heilbrunn* *Belarus, Europe* The leader of the opposition in Belarus, who is visiting Washington this week, says that the movement can succeed in the face of formidable odds. Is she right? A fresh crackdown is taking place in Belarus. Security forces there have raided the homes of independent journalists and detained three Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty employees. Meanwhile, a court has sentenced ten students and a teacher to jail for violating public order. Overall, the regime has imprisoned over 550 individuals on similar grounds. It was against this tenebrous backgrou... read more
Nazi Hunters: How Czech Agents Killed One of Hitler’s Feared Lieutenants
*Michael Peck* *World War II, Europe* Was killing a monster like Heydrich worth the lives of several thousand people? *Here's What You Need to Know*: Heydrich's death came at the cost of thousands of lives. On the morning of May 27, 1942, the most dangerous man in Nazi Germany went for his last ride. Reinhard Heydrich was tall, slender, blue-eyed and blond, a perfect specimen of the ideal Nazi man. In his green Mercedes 320 Convertible B that morning, he might have been mistaken for a European playboy, or a rich, spoiled aristocrat. But SS Obergruppenführer Heydrich was no mor... read more

The Battleship Yamato's Brutal End Signified American Naval Dominance
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Asia* The death of the Yamato was marked since 1941. *Key Point:* Gone with the great battleship were 2,498 of its 2,700-person crew. In early 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy made a difficult decision: it would sacrifice the largest, most powerful battleships ever built to protect Okinawa, the gateway to Japan’s Home Islands. The decision sealed the fate of the battleship *Yamato* and its crew, but ironically did nothing to actually protect the island from Allied invasion. The battleship *Yamato* was among the largest and most powerful battleships of ... read more

Wet Bulb Temperature Is The Scariest Part Of Climate Change You’ve Never Heard Of
Wet bulb temperature is one of those features of climate change caused by global warming that often gets left out when discussing the radical changes our planet is going to experience in the coming years. Discussion has largely focused on issues such as drought, hurricanes, tornadoes, storm activity, and even unusual cold. The impacts of increased heat have been left out because we assume, incorrectly it turns out, that human beings can adapt to moderate increases in global temperature.

Can Sonar-Equipped Drones Help Russia Unstealth U.S. Submarines?
*Michael Peck* *Drones, Eurasia* Moscow is testing unmanned underwater vehicles equipped with towed sonar arrays. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Submarines are the most stealthy of military craft -- for now. Russia is working on a new trick to track American submarines: sonar-equipped robots. But turnabout is fair play: the United States has already developed a robotic yacht-sized surface craft designed to stalk diesel subs. Russia is testing unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) equipped with towed sonar arrays, according to the newspaper Izvestia. Attached to long, flexible t... read more
Pay Attention: China Is Still Building Bases in the South China Sea
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The bases constitute a threat to U.S. military dominance in the Pacific. *Key point: *According to the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, Beijing has created more 3,200 acres of new land. In recent years the People’s Republic of China has laid claim to ninety percent of the South China Sea, buttressing this claim by creating artificial islands with dredging equipment. These claims run roughshod over Beijing’s neighbors, which have competing claims. The discovery in 2016 that China had militarized these artificial islands was not exactly surprisi... read more
Did Mexico Almost Invade the United States in 1917?
*Michael Peck* *World War I, Americas* Mexican president Venustiano Carranza ordered his government to study the German proposal. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Mexican officials ultimately concluded that annexing three U.S. states would lead to permanent conflict with America. It was a little over one hundred years ago when Mexico almost invaded the United States. In January 1917, German foreign secretary Arthur Zimmermann dispatched a coded telegram to Heinrich von Eckardt, the German ambassador to Mexico. With Germany locked in bloody stalemate with the Allies in France, and... read more
Iran Power Outages: Israel Doomsday Countdown Clock Goes Out
*Trevor Filseth* *Iran, * This has to be a metaphor for something. On September 9, 2015, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran, prophesized that the State of Israel would “cease to exist in the next twenty-five years.” Two years after this declaration, as part of its annual Al-Quds Day festivities, the Iranian government set up a “doomsday clock” in Tehran’s Palestine Square, counting down the days until 2040, by which time the Jewish state would ostensibly be destroyed. Last week, a rolling blackout caused the clock to lose power, turning it blank and presumably delay... read more
US Drilling Approvals Increase Despite Biden Climate Pledge

Hulagu’s Campaign Against the Sect of Assassins
In 1253, Mongke Khan, Great Khan of the Mongol Empire (he was the eldest son of Genghis Khan’s son Tolui and Sorghaghtani Beki), decided that it was time to achieve Genghis Khan’s dream of conquering the Islamic civilization in the Levant and the Sung dynasty’s territory in South China. He summoned his two brothers, Hulagu and Kublai. He assigned the Arab lands to Hulagu, who was known for his military expertise, and to Kublai, known for his good knowledge of Chinese culture, he assigned South China. Being the Great Khan, Mongke would remain in the center of Mongolia. In this articl... read more
The Approaching Storm

So, it looks like GloboCap isn’t going to be happy until they have fomented the widespread social unrest ~ or de facto global civil war ~ that they need as a pretext to lock in the new pathologized totalitarianism and remake whatever remains of society into a global pseudo-medicalized police state, or that appears to where we’re headed currently.
