In fact, in a direct contest, the Western democracies have often prevailed over the Western aristocratic states. Ancient Athens, a republic which held regular ele... read more

Technosignatures: Enter the ‘Dataome’
[image: Story 451365376] I sometimes rely on nudges from my software to remind me of directions I’ve been meaning to take in a *Centauri Dreams* article. Seeing that Caleb Scharf has a new book out (*The Ascent of Information*), I was setting about ordering it when I noticed how many notes I had on my hard disk related to Scharf’s work, a reminder of how provocative I find his writings. That took me back to a 2018 article called The Selfish Dataome, and also to the recent article The Origin of Technosignatures, which appeared a few days ago in *Scientific American*. Scharf (Columb... read more
Exoplanet Watch: Firming Up Transit Timing
[image: Story 451365375] Demonstrating once again the role amateurs can play in supporting ongoing observations, a new project linking NASA and the American Association of Variable Star Observers is being launched. Exoplanet Watch isn’t about discovering new transiting planets (although the potential is there) as much as tightening up the information we already have about planets currently under investigation. The idea is to help professional observers know when to look, which allows them to maximize precious observing time on instruments that are always in high demand. Transit ti... read more

Biden promised his support for Israel was 'engraved in stone.' Like the 'Ten Commandments'? How about 'Thou shall not kill'? Many are asking which country is actually 'in charge' of this relationship? read more

Does Israel's Iron Dome Live Up to the Hype?*Michael Peck* *Iron Dome, * But did the system fail? And what does this mean for the U.S. military’s planned buy of Iron Dome? *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Some Israeli experts agree that it is difficult to defend against massed salvoes with short flight times when fired from launchers situated a few miles away in Gaza.

Real Food Truths: Grass-fed Beef is Carbon Positive and Healthy for the EnvironmentThe Globalists who are trying to rush in their New World Order are using the issue of "Climate Change" to justify just about everything they are doing, including their (mostly unpublished) goals of drastically reducing the world's population. One of their key issues is eliminating meat, especially beef, which we are told is a major contributor to greenhouse emissions. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has estimated that livestock is responsible for at least 14.5% of greenhouse gases being released worldwide. Their solution?
