These World War II Squad Guns Prefaced the Modern Assault Rifle
*Peter Suciu* *World War II Squad Guns, World* The French were actually the first to deploy such a weapon, the largely disparaged Chauchat. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* The U.S. M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, British Bren Gun, Vickers-Berthier Light Machine Gun, and German FG42 and StG44 paved the way for the development of squad automatic weapons, and even to the modern assault rifle. The concept of a “squad automatic weapon” was not new to the Second World War, and was in fact developed a generation earlier in the mud-soaked trenches of the First World War. The French ... read more

We Counted: How Many Stars are There in Space?
*Brian Jackson* *Stars, * There are a lot. Look up at the sky on a clear night, and you’ll see thousands of stars – about 6,000 or so. But that’s only a tiny fraction of all the stars out there. The rest are too far away for us to see them. The universe, galaxies, stars Yet astronomers like me have figured out how to estimate the total number of stars in the universe, which is everything that exists.

Inside The CIA Plot To Kidnap, Kill Julian Assange
Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News discusses his team’s reporting on the CIA plot to surveil, kidnap, and even kill Assange — all overseen by Michael Pompeo. In response, Pompeo has called for the prosecution of all the sources involved. The story builds on previous disclosures including a May 2020 exposé by The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, which revealed that the CIA was working with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson and the Spanish security firm UC Global to target and surveil Assange in London’s Ecuadorian embassy. Isikoff and Aaron Maté also debate Russia’s role in the Assange c... read more

In these digital times, there should be great concern over something like this.

Scheer Intelligence: War Is A Multi-Trillion-Dollar Racket
Twenty years since the September 11, 2001 attacks, the human and financial cost of the United States’ failed “War on Terror” is plain to see: as one headline put it, “20 years, $6 trillion, 900,000 lives.” The estimates of lives lost and trillions spent vary throughout media sources, but even the most conservative estimates speak for themselves. Yet, while the Pentagon billed America’s latest imperial endeavors as an imperative series of operations aimed at protecting U.S. national security, there is a simpler, far more cynical and obscene motivation behind these forever wars, acc... read more

Mark Hubert of MarketWatch reports September was a terrible month for stocks, here's what you can expect for October: October looms large in U.S. stock market lore. Yet there’s only one way the month lives up to its outsized reputation: It really is particularly volatile. Before I summarize the historical data supporting this reputation, let me first dispel two Wall Street stories about October that turn out to be myths. *Myth #1: October is the month with the most major trend changes* *This is simply not true. According to the bull and bear market calendar back to 1900 maintain... read more

Seeking solutions - not sanctimony
Today's theme is seeking solutions - technological, social, personal - in a pragmatic spirit that seems all-too lost, these days. One Place where you find that spirit flowing as vigorously as ever is the X-Prize Foundation led by Peter Diamandis. The theme of the latest XPrize challenge seeks methods of agricultural carbon sequestration. What if there is an efficient way to capture carbon from the air and safely store it for 1000 years or more? What if the cost of capturing the carbon is near zero - with no new technology needed? What if the cost of storing (sequestering) the car... read more
"The Stock Market Crash Nobody Thinks Possible Has Begun!"
*Full screen recommended.* *"The Stock Market Crash Nobody Thinks Possible Has Begun!"* by Epic Economist "Things are looking gloomy on Wall Street. The stage is set for a ruthless stock market crash, but everyone keeps denying that this gigantic bubble even exists. However, the ideal setup for a crash happens exactly when people are thinking that a crash is impossible. Of course, the market needs a good number of unsuspecting fools to keep fueling the final rally and add to the gains of the wealthy while the minions are unexpectedly left empty-handed. Now, most investors are still... read more
An apology
I am sending this post early because A) my computer is a mess and I might be unable to get it fixed for several days. B) As well, I thought I was very sick, and was quite worried about my health. Luckily, I was today proven to be in good health - still homely and unsavoury - but alive. I was premature in my headline of the last blog. However, I do think the American empire is done for. The U.S. is deeply divided among - itself. Biden and Trump are almost tied in the polls with Trump slightly ahead. And, let's get real, neither of them has anything to offer. The U.S. (like many other ... read more
Has the United States Lost Confidence in General Milley?
*Chase A. Enright* *U.S. Military, * While it is part of Gen. Milley’s job to communicate with his counterparts in militaries across the world, according to Andrew Bacevich what Gen. Milley said to General Li of the People's Liberation Army could be considered “treasonous” or at minimum, “further evidence of bad judgment.” Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s new book, *Peril*, discloses that General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, attempted to insert himself into the nuclear weapons launching process and held phone calls with his counterparts in China’s People... read more
U.S Representatives Call on Blinken to Aid Lebanon
*Trevor Filseth* *Lebanon, * The August 2020 explosion drew attention to the state’s dysfunction, prompting other states and international organizations to pledge support, but so far promised political changes have not been forthcoming. In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called for the United States to help address Lebanon’s political and economic crisis and avert further unrest. “We write to express deep concern about Lebanon’s worsening economic and political crises,” the letter read,... read more
1,969 Fetal Deaths Recorded Following COVID-19 Shots but Criminal CDC Recommends Pregnant Women Get the Shot
The CDC released more data today into VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) which shows that there are now 1,969 fetal deaths among pregnant women who received a COVID-19 shot. By way of contrast, I performed the exact same search in VAERS for all non-COVID-19 vaccines for the past 30 years, and it returned a result of 2,183 fetal deaths from pregnant women following vaccination for the past 30 years. So there have been nearly the same amount of fetal deaths following COVID-19 shots during the past 10 months, as there have been for the past 30+ years that VAERS has bee... read more
