*Daily Mail:** Austria is 'days away' from placing millions of unvaccinated people under lockdown as Covid-19 infections soar* * Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg today declared a lockdown is 'days away' * Once 30 per cent of intensive care beds are occupied with Covid patients, people not vaccinated will be put into lockdown according to government plans * The current level of Covid-occupied ICU beds is 20 per cent and rising fast * Austria’s current rate of infection is double the current rate in the UK and is higher than any rate of infection seen in Britain during the pa... read more

Do You Have Any Doubt That The FBI Is Fundamentally A Criminal Organization?
* Over the years, mostly in connection with the Trump/Russia collusion hoax, I have had many occasions to cover what I have considered to be wrongful — indeed clearly criminal — conduct by the FBI. To give just a few examples, there was the 2016 application for a FISA warrant against Carter Page (three times renewed) based on knowingly false information; the 2017 set-up of Michael Flynn; and then-Director Comey’s blatant lies to President Trump in early 2017 about what the FBI was up to. Or go to this link for a long litany of wrongful FBI and DOJ conduct. * So with all that has now... read more

Coast to Coast AM - The State of Current Affairs
First, I thought I would mention that Avi Loeb, he of the Project Galileo and the search for, well, basically, alien artifacts visiting the Solar System, had brought three people on board including Lue Elizondo, Leon Podesta and Nick Pope. This surprises me only because during my conversations with him, he seemed to want to steer away from an association with UFOs. I had thought a review of UFO history, concentrating on the cases in which there were multiple chains of evidence might be valuable. I thought those cases in which electromagnetic effects had been reported could prov... read more
For China, Taking on the Indian Navy Is Easier Said Than Done
*James Holmes* *Indian Navy, Indian Ocean* Beijing could stage a potent force in the Indian Ocean almost overnight, if it wanted to. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: Diverting most of the navy would leave the China seas largely unguarded by heavy forces—an unappealing prospect for Beijing. China will keep its strategic priorities straight unless something truly dire happens in the Indian Ocean, reconciling the leadership to hazards at which it would usually blanch. There are worse things than fleeing the bleak New England midwinter for warmer climes—such as Jaipur, India’s ... read more
What if America’s Aircraft Carriers Sank at Pearl Harbor?
*Robert Farley* *Aircraft Carriers, Asia-Pacific* The question has bedeviled historians since World War II. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *In the end, it is unlikely that the destruction of two carriers at Pearl would have turned the tide of war. The massive fleet of carriers that the United States built by 1944 would have overwhelmed the prewar Imperial Japanese Navy, even without the losses at Coral Sea, Midway and Guadalcanal. U.S. superiority in training and in aircraft would have ground the Japanese down, slowly but surely. What if the aircraft carriers of the United St... read more
Is Man the Highest Product of Evolution?
Man is the last of the great species to emerge—the Darwinian theory takes this idea as a proof that man is the highest product of evolution. But it is not necessary that the highest product should come at the end of any process. A glitch in the process of evolution could have led to a steep downfall in the quality of species being churned out. What if the highest product of evolution was created tens of thousands of years or even millions of years ago? We might not be the last of the great species. The best outcome of earthly evolution might be lost in the mists of the past. We migh... read more
