Black Sea: NATO drill practiced strafing Russian ships
NATO reports that it conducted what is described as air defense exercises in the Black Sea on July 2. Evidently the maneuvers were independent of the 32-nation Sea Breeze naval and air exercises occurring simultaneously. And of the recent port visits and participation in exercises by the HMS Defender guided-missile destroyer and the HNLMS Evertsen frigate in the same sea, the first almost triggering an international incident if not a war on June 23. read more

Like all good hero stories, the journey of Dave Weeshoff from mainframe computers to bird champion began with a single step.

An armored vehicle for the Mall Ninja!
I'm sure many readers have heard the expression "Mall Ninja" used to describe security guards at the average suburban shopping mall. You can read the (side-splittingly funny) account of the original Mall Ninja here. It's as dumb and stupid today as when user "Gecko45" wrote it, and thousands of American shooters have laughed at his obliviot fantasies since then. Be that as it may, it looks like one of Gecko45's fantasies may yet be fulfilled. Tata Motors in India has announced what they're calling the MBPV, for "Micro Bullet-Proof Vehicle", intended for just such a scenario.... read more

July 4 Glorifies The US Military — A Force With White Supremacy At Its Core
The U.S. isn’t young anymore. One can’t help but wonder what Fredrick Douglass would say if he were to give a speech on the country’s 245th birthday. The “great streams” of American racism, white supremacy and sexism have indeed worn deep. A full 169 years after Douglass’s speech, the U.S. is still bogged down by many of the same contradictions.

Brave New World TV Series
I had a peak at the beginning of the first episode of the Brave New World TV series and it is bat sh*t crazy. Don't get me wrong, it's not low budget. It has Demi Moore in it. It's a little too real - surreal perhaps. It's based on Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel. The beginning of the pilot lays out three rules for the artificial society: No privacy, no familyy and no monogamy then declares everyone is happy. Not. They have to keep popping pills to escape the fact that they're not happy. Although it is somewhat different than George Orwell's 1984, there are some common elements. T... read more

Gold Is Unreactive So How Is It In Clusters We Can Find At All?
Gold should be uniformly scattered throughout the Earth's crust, not in giant deposits, because it is unreactive. It is one of the most inert metals in the whole Periodic Table, it doesn't easily react with other substances, so it should not have come together in sufficient quantity to mine. Yet it did, and became prized for its purity and stability and later for its rarity. It's still rare. The World Gold Council estimates that all the gold ever mined in the world would fit into a 20x20x20-meter cube. Chemists may have found an answer as to why it should not form into deposits ye... read more

When a democratic nation goes to war, criticism overpowers conquest.

Despite its superiority in military technology, America has lost every war that it fought in the twentieth century.

It’s Saigon in Afghanistan
[image: undefined] The end of the 20-year US war on Afghanistan was predictable: no one has conquered Afghanistan, and Washington was as foolish as Moscow in the 1970s for trying. Now, US troops are rushing out of the country as fast as they can, having just evacuated the symbol of the US occupation of Afghanistan, Bagram Air Base. While perhaps not as dramatic as the “Fall of Saigon” in 1975, where US military helicopters scrambled to evacuate personnel from the roof of the US Embassy, the lesson remains the same and remains unlearned: attempting to occupy, control, and remake a f... read more

With This Cannon, the Soviet Union Brought Warfare into Space
*Alex Hollings* *Space, Europe* Although the Americans canceled their MOL program in 1969, the Soviet effort continued, reaching even further beyond America’s canceled program with plans to equip these space stations with the world’s first ever cannon in space. In the decades since the fall of the Soviet Union, many Americans have taken to assuming that victory for the United States was assured. From our vantage point in the 21st century, we now know that the Soviet Union was, in many ways, a quagmire of oppression and economic infeasibility — but in the early days of mankind’s ... read more
