Less than 20% of the Latin American population has been fully vaccinated against Covid
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - During the organization's weekly press conference, the official described the disparity between those who can and cannot access vaccines as "unacceptable."

Geronimo Must Die
When Westminster packs up for its summer holidays, convention has it that politics-as-usual ceases. Into the gap rushes tales of the silly and the strange, not that the fearless British media don't already ignore the issues that really count as a matter of routine. And when there is proper news, their interest is casual and unserious. For instance, the IPCC report might, you could be forgiven for thinking, fill the news agenda for a few days. It managed a few front pages, including the *Daily Mail*'s, but the column inches devoted to climate collapse and the doom this spells for mi... read more
The Nature Of Prosecutors
For the past two weeks I’ve been ruminating about the prosecution of drone whistleblower Daniel Hale, who was sentenced on July 27 in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria. He was given 45 months in prison. With good behavior and drug and alcohol counseling, it’ll end up being closer to 18 months. I was in the courtroom and witnessed the sentencing and the vindictive behavior of the prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg, who acted as though Hale’s case was a personal slight. Kromberg is also the prosecutor who has feverishly l... read more

Man Does Not Create Global Warming or Climate Change & We Will Prove It

More Than a Tomahawk: What’s the Deal With Russia’s Kalibr Cruise Missile?

You Might Have to File Social Security Sooner than You Think
*Trevor Filseth* *Social Security Benefits, Americas* There is the possibility that a person would have to stop working earlier than they anticipated due to unexpected health issues, such as those brought about by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. For Americans who have stored away a great deal of money through prudent saving and investments in 401(k) plans and Roth IRAs, their Social Security payments may not matter significantly. However, for many millions of Americans who rely heavily on the payments, the decision of when to file can be a vitally important one. Most financi... read more
Locked and Loaded: The Russian Air Force Is Using Syria for Weapons Tests
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russia, Middle East* As Syria was a ground war, its unsurprising the VKS workhorses in Syria have been tactical bombers and attack jets specifically designed for that task. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Russian aviation demonstrated improved technical and operational sophistication by 2018, including increasing adoption of some elements of Western-style network-centric warfare. However, high-altitude unguided bombing methods leaning on the SVP-24 system would be of limited applicability in a conflict against a foe with serious air defenses and satellit... read more

9/11 GAVE US DONALD TRUMP? REALLY?
I respect the journalism of Spencer Ackerman, and I understand that it's presumptuous of me to criticize the thesis of his new book, which I haven't read, based on a review. But the review, by Jennifer Szalai of *The New York Times,* leaves me quite skeptical. The book is titled *Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump*; Szalai calls it "discerning and brilliantly argued." She writes: Ackerman contends that the American response to 9/11 made President Trump possible. The evidence for this blunt-force thesis is presented in “Reign of Terror” with an... read more

*"Whispering Walls"* by Bill Bonner POITOU, FRANCE – “It’s probably the greatest fiscal con job that’s ever been perpetrated on the U.S. public,” said Johns Hopkins economist Steve Hanke on Monday.
