Why Turkey Grounded Hundreds of Fighter Pilots*Michael Peck* *Turkey, Turkey* A failed coup in 2016 resulted in Turkey dismissing more than 300 F-16 pilots. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *A nation that throws its fighter pilots in jail is not just wasting money, but also an extremely valuable resource. Yet in the name of politics, Turkey's government has purged its air force so badly that it can barely fly its F-16 fighters. Fighter pilots aren't cheap. The U.S. Air Force estimates that training a new pilot to fly a plane like the F-35 costs $11 million. And that doesn't count the priceless experience of a veteran pilo... read more

Too Little, Too Late: Why the Nakajima Kikka Kamikaze Jet Couldn't Save Japan*Michael Peck* *World War II, Asia* No jet fighter late in the game could undo massive earlier mistakes. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Kikka would have been overwhelmed by the massive U.S. land-based and carrier-based formations that roamed over Japan in the last days of the war. It is a fallacy that Germany was the only nation to develop combat jets in World War II. In truth, while Germany had the most advanced technology, all of the major powers had jet aircraft projects during World War II, including the United States, Britain, Russia, Italy and Japan.

People in the 21st Century Have Forgotten How to Resist Tyranny – Here’s a History Lesson from the Civil Rights Movement
As more and more people around the world finally start to wake up and understand that the "war against the virus" has been a plan from the beginning for tyrants to seize control of society and implement a medical police state that controls every aspect of our lives and enslaves us, they are beginning to venture out of their homes and take to the streets in protest. But protesting alone is not going to push back tyranny. As I watch video clips shot from people's cell phones during many of these protests, mostly outside the U.S. at this point as most Americans are still asleep, what... read more

The Taliban takeover of nearly the whole of Afghanistan means that the West - and specifically the CIA, MI6 and other intelligence agenci... read more
