The Key to Cold War Intelligence Gathering: Space Surveillance
*Steve Weintz* *Cold War, Space* Without overflights, America was suddenly blind to a quarter of the Earth's surface, home to armies, bombers, missiles, and nuclear weapons ready for war. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * As the Cold War settled into a deadly balancing act after the Korean Armistice, the Soviet Union's hostile opacity coupled with its sheer size and remoteness presented a terrific challenge to American military planners and intelligence agencies. Conventional aerial reconnaissance over the USSR proved too costly in blood and equipment. During the 1950s, engi... read more

Reagan Wanted to Build a Star Wars-like Death Star
*Steve Weintz* *Ronald Reagan, United States* “The targets would be fast-moving, very small and thousands of miles away.” *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Railguns have long figured in space enthusiasts’ visions. However, all *kinds* of treaty obligations would need amending before the United States or anyone else fielded such a device. A long time ago in an era much like ours, the United States poured billions into its “Star Wars” missile defense program. What those billions actually bought is still highly classified, so much so that we know very little about the various exot... read more

Nick Robinson disagrees [again]
If there's one thing we know about Nick Robinson is that he can do no wrong. Never mind 'papal infallibility', the popes have nothing on the BBC's Nick. It sounds as if his latest *Political Thinking with Nick Robinson* isn't quite as friendly as normal. And, inevitably, that's now spilling over onto Twitter: *Katharine Birbalsingh*: A lively ding dong between me and ⁦Nick Robinson for 40 mins. We disagree politely and but you can hear how annoyed he makes me! Well worth it to hear a little of my backstory and what I think is important for children to succeed. *Nick Robinson*: It... read more
U.S. Special Forces are Training the Taiwanese Military for War
*Kris Osborn* *Taiwan, Asia* The Chinese ministry has “urged the US to fully recognize the high sensitivity of the Taiwan question, following US media reports that there were two dozen US troops deployed on the island of Taiwan, helping train local troops in secret,” *Here's What You Need to Know: *A report in the Chinese government-backed newspaper the Global Times says the Chinese Foreign Ministry vowed to take “all necessary measures to safeguard the country’s territorial integrity” regarding their claims to Taiwan. The “US should abide by the one-China principle and stop ar... read more
Here’s Why the Omicron Variant Spreads So Quickly
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Omicron, Americas* The Omicron variant is known to feature more than thirty mutations to the spike protein, which helps it achieve higher transmissibility rates than other variants. A new study conducted by the University of Hong Kong shows that the highly mutated Omicron coronavirus variant multiplies seventy times faster in the human bronchial tubes than the Delta variant. The Omicron variant was first detected in South Africa about three weeks ago. It is known to feature more than thirty mutations to the spike protein, which helps it achieve higher trans... read more
Ghost Eye: This U.S. Radar Tech Can Track the World’s Most Advanced Threats
*Kris Osborn* *Radars, United States* So far, the Army is “on track with what Congress has directed” and is prepared “to deliver prototypes to the U.S. government by the end of 2023.” *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *A key advantage of the radar is its ability to update as threats such as cruise missiles maneuver and reposition in flight. This can make it difficult for a radar system to track a target. But the LTAMDS is engineered to operate with much greater sensitivity, improved range and ability to track smaller, faster-moving targets. Advanced countermeasures, maneuverabl... read more
Adversaries, Beware—The U.S. Army Is Flexing Anti-Drone Tech
*Kris Osborn* *Stryker, * Advancing infantry units can be protected in unprecedented ways since the advent of the Stryker. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Deploying the SHORAD-capable Strykers in Europe represents the first increment in a three-fold process to evolve the capability for the vehicles. The second increment involves arming the Stryker with a fifty-kilowatt laser weapon, an effort that is progressing quickly with the Army and its defense industry partners. The Army’s first anti-drone, missile-armed Stryker vehicles have arrived in Europe and are ready for combat... read more
Take Note: Nuclear Bunkers are Worthless in a Pandemic
*David Axe* *Pandemic, United States* If the military tried to use a bunker as a pandemic H.Q., it probably would just end up packing a bunch of infected people into an enclosed space with uninfected people, creating even better conditions for the disease’s spread. *Here's What You Need to Know*: A coronavirus test can require days under the best of circumstances. But the Raven Rock facility wasn’t built with a holding area for incoming personnel awaiting screening. Could one of the U.S. Defense Department’s many underground complexes work as a secure headquarters from which to d... read more

Nigel Kennedy v The Bleeb Bleeb C
Richard Morrison's *Times *review of Nigel Kennedy's autobiography made me chuckle, especially the violinist's run-ins with the BBC. I remembered the earlier spats but didn't know about this one: Later Kennedy caused friction at the BBC’s *Last Night of the Proms* [back in 2013] where he appeared alongside two formidably woke American women: the conductor Marin Alsop and the singer Joyce DiDonato (neither of whom Kennedy names). Irritated that DiDonato had declared that she would be dedicating her performance “to transgender people around the world” (“WOT D FUKK?? WHY?” Kennedy ask... read more

Redacted distracted
Catching up with what's been happening this week, I see that investigative journalist Andy Webb is still doggedly pursuing the BBC over Bashirgate, using FoI requests against the tight-lipped broadcaster. He wrote in *The Times* this week about how “even now the BBC is fighting tooth and nail to prevent the exposure of documents which suggest a much more recent attempt to obscure aspects of the scandal.” To sum up the present state of play between him and the BBC, the Information Commissioner’s Office ruled that the BBC had breached the Freedom of Information Act and threatened the... read more

Saturday Snippet: The early days of air mail
Dean C. Smith was an American aviation pioneer, one of those responsible for setting the standards for the nascent U.S. Postal Service's air mail service. He also flew in Antarctica with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition of 1928–1930. Later, he served as an executive with a number of American aircraft companies during and after World War II. He wrote about his early flying years in an amusing and entertaining memoir titled "By The Seat Of My Pants". Here are some of his stories of the early days of flying air mail in America. It's mind-boggling to think that some of the pilots... read more

Following China’s example, Russia’s central bank wants to ban cryptocurrencies nationwide
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Russia plans to introduce a prototype digital ruble issued by the central bank by January 2022, and freely tradable, non-controllable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and others are therefore undesirable. They prevent total financial control of citizens desired by the state. However, the Russian regulator presents the situation differently. It claims […] The post Following China’s example, Russia’s central bank wants to ban cryptocurrencies nationwide appeared first on The Rio Times. read more

SATURDAY CARTOONS: YOU ARE ALL UNDER ARREST!: DECEMBER 18, 2021
Ah, this is the life! A computer that works, is speedy, poses no problems. So far the switch to Windows 10 is only a tad challenging. So far.... This all loaded up sweet as can be. Patting myself on the back because switching over meant learning to use a new paint shop, very different from the one I have used since 1999! Happy camper, although very broke, here.

America’s Loitering Radar-Hunting Missile is Due For a Comeback
*Alex Hollings* *Tacit-Rainbow, America* In hindsight, it’s clear that the Tacit Rainbow program was too riddled with failures and rampant politicking to have manifested in a successful weapon system, but the concept behind the weapon remains as viable today as ever. *Here's What You Need to Know: *The premise behind Tacit Rainbow was to eliminate or suppress enemy air defenses using a loitering munition equipped with an anti-radiation guidance system. In the 1980s, a controversial radar-hunting weapon system known as the AGM-136 Tacit Rainbow blurred the lines between missile ... read more
The U.S. Army Has Huge Plans for the Precision Strike Missile
*Kris Osborn* *Precision Strike Missile, United States* The Army is clearly evolving the weapon so that it is capable of attacking enemy ships, air defenses and other maritime targets. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The most recent missile test at Vandenberg Air Force Base shows that the missile can hit ranges farther than four hundred kilometers, according to a Lockheed Martin press statement. In fact, the Army has configured the weapon so that two missiles can fly from the same launch-pod container, a circumstance that could increase tactical mobility and the rapid rate o... read more

to fully design molecules without the need to use natural components frees vaccinology from mimicking nature
some infections have proven too difficult to address by the empirical approach. One of them is the disease caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) which affects most children worldwide and for which vaccine attempts consistently failed from 1967 to 2017. … Finally, the work by Marcandalli et al. represents a quantum leap for the nanoparticle concept because instead of relying on molecules that naturally form nanoparticles, they fully designed from scratch the self-assembling proteins. The ability to fully design molecules without the need to use natural components ... read more
