Covid Funds Spent On Police And PrisonsThe health and financial impacts of the covid pandemic have been enormous. More than 42 million people have been infected and 679,000 have died in this country. Individuals, businesses and every level of government have suffered as they lost income and revenue. Many workers are unemployed and certain sectors of the economy still suffer disproportionately. There is an easy case to make in favor of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (ARP) which was passed in order to relieve these many crises. The argument is harder to make when those funds are being used for police and prisons,... read more

A Hardline Taliban Cabinet Will Send Afghanistan Back to the Future*Abdul Basit* *Afghanistan, Eurasia* The last forty years of conflict in Afghanistan underscores that no group alone can claim a monopoly over political power or effectively manage the country.

The head of the Taliban’s Rahbari Shura, or the leadership council, Mullah Muhammad Hassan Akhund, has been named as the act... read more

Lessons From 50 Years Covering Foreign PolicyFor over 50 years I have been writing about foreign policy — mostly America’s, but those of other nations as well. I think I have a pretty good grasp of places like Turkey, China, India, Russia, and the European Union. I regret that I am less than sure-footed in Africa and Latin America. During this time I have also learned a fair amount about military matters and various weapons systems, because they cost enormous amounts of money that could be put to much better use than killing and maiming people. But also because it’s hard to resist the absurd: the high performance US F-35 fig... read more

How New Zealand’s Maori Are Reclaiming Land With OccupationsTwo years ago, a small pocket of land three kilometres from Auckland’s international airport became the most prominent site of a struggle by Māori, New Zealand’s indigenous people, to reclaim land confiscated by the crown more than 150 years ago. Ihumātao contains evidence of New Zealand’s first commercial gardens, where thousands of hectares were planted with kumara, a tropical sweet potato which thrived in the warm and nutritious soil. The adjacent stonefields, today a category one Unesco heritage site, are rich with ancient nurseries and storage pits. When William Hobson, then-... read more

BWorld 506, Vaccination plateau and rising cases
* My article in BusinessWorld, Sept. 20, 2021. Vaccination plateau — rapid rise in vaccination rates as percent of population followed by a quick slowdown with the curve nearly flatlining. That is my simple and personal definition as I have not seen other definitions yet when I checked the various search engines. The term has similar connotations to “vaccine ceiling” and “vaccine burnout.” The best example of a country experiencing a vaccine plateau would be Israel.

Both China and America Played a Role in Building Saudi Arabia's Missile Forces*Sebastien Roblin* *Saudi Arabia, Middle East* The little-known history of Saudi Arabia's missile arsenal. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Denied access to U.S. ballistic missiles, Riyadh instead went knocking at the door of Beijing—which had previously proven willing to export arms to Iran when Moscow and Washington refused to do so. You would be hard pressed to find two more determined foes of Iran other than Saudi Arabia and Israel. The latter country has long been perturbed by bellicose anti-Israeli rhetoric from Tehran, and has unleashed hundreds of air strikes and art... read more

If Nothing is Read by You Else Today, Read This Report on Business Loan NextLikewise, many of the larger businesses corresponding to large franchise organizations are submitting for a waiver for his or her explicit medical health insurance program which they’ve had for decades, because they consider their fast turnover, plus the wants of their workers do not warrant such intense payroll deductions for health care insurance coverage. Nor do their workers want to pay it out of their paycheck. Lots of their staff are simply barely getting by, and nearly on the poverty degree. They cannot afford it. Please think about all this.

A tweet from Jeremy Vine today... ...hasn't struck people as being very kind, or classy. Here's a flavour of the reaction: - Genuinely. Is there any need for such a spiteful comment? - Anyway, sympathies today for anyone who thought Jeremy Vine was nice, whoever you are and wherever you may be. - It's an astonishingly wrong footed comment from Vine. Perfectly sums up what's wrong with the BBC: deep-seated self regard. Andrew Neil is one of their "stars".

Airport Security May Soon Get Much Faster*Stephen Silver* *Airport Security, United States* Per Axios, there’s a possibility that within the next decade, “passengers will be able to sail through a virtually invisible screening portal without stopping… that means shoes stay on, electronics stay in the bag and pockets don't have to be emptied.” Anyone who remembers the 9/11 attacks remembers that in the months and years afterward, airport security got a lot more stringent, not to mention much slower. Further restrictions, from removing shoes to limiting liquids, followed in the coming years. Now, it appears that changes ... read more

North Korea Wants You to Know That It Doesn’t Like the AUKUS Deal Either*Trevor Filseth* *AUKUS, * On Monday, the pact gained a new opponent: North Korea, when a Foreign Ministry official warned that it could “upset the strategic balance in the Asia-Pacific region” and potentially bring about a nuclear arms race. The security and defense pact between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia—better known as the AUKUS deal—has ruffled feathers in Europe and Asia. The main loser in the pact has been France, which had been under a $37 billion contract to build nuclear submarines for the Australian Navy before the contract was unceremoniously... read more

Poland’s defense minister Mariusz Błaszczak has confirmed the country’s plans to buy as many as 250 M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 main battle tanks (MBTs).

Russia's T-60S has Been Bested*Mark Episkopos* *T-60S, * [image: T-60S] The Sukhoi T-60S project grew out of the older T-4 concept, a proposed Soviet reply to the XB-70 Valkyrie that never made it past the prototype stage. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* In the end, the T-60S’ well-rounded performance and robust combat capabilities were not worth the risks stemming from its more eccentric construction choices. The Kremlin decided, not without sound reason, that the Su-34 fighter-bomber was a safer bet. The Su-34 has gone on to become a staple of Russia’s strike fighter forces, with as many as 120 models ... read more

BIW Navy gate vigil continues
Yesterday we were back at the Navy compound gate at Bath Iron Works (BIW) for another of our twice-a-month vigils during the lunch break at the shipyard. Peter Morgan (on the left) and John Morris from Maine VFP held the large banner made for one of our previous peace walks through the state. The banner was painted by Maine artist Russell Wray (Hancock). You can imagine that we got some double-takes on it. It was probably our best day for reactions from shipyard workers and the public. I was holding a sign that reads 'Are we building a sustainable future yet?' The sign wa... read more

During the panic shopping that was sparked by the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020, there were very intense shortages of certain items, but those shortages did not last very long at all. But now there are widespread shortages in just about every sector of our economy, and they are starting to become quite painful.

A reflection on covid maniaAt the beginning of this year I wrote about how the governments of the world had created a collective state of hysteria so intense that the only way they could dig themselves out of the hole they had made was with a magic bullet. That magic bullet was, of course, the vaccines. I wrote that it didn’t really matter how effective the vaccines were in the real world, or whether they prevented transmission. All that mattered was getting every single person on the planet to take the vaccine, after which the politicians would be able to declare victory. read more

Let CBO estimate before you legislateIn my recent *Times* column on the expanded social safety net, the following passage was cut in the editorial process, but it is an important point, which I am afraid is being lost in the Congressional rush to get something done: Team Biden says they won’t pass the bill onto future generations in the form of higher public debt. Whether that’s true is hard to say. The Congressional Budget Office and Joint Tax Committee have not yet scored the bill because it hasn’t been written. Let’s hope that Congressional leadership is patient enough to let the scorekeepers do their jobs before ... read more
