China Sees New World Order With Oil Benchmark Backed By Gold
* Definitely an interesting read:* *Nikkei* DENPASAR, Indonesia --* China is expected shortly to launch a crude oil futures contract priced in yuan and convertible into gold *in what analysts say could be a game-changer for the industry. *The contract could become the most important Asia-based crude oil benchmark, given that China is the world's biggest oil importer.* Crude oil is usually priced in relation to Brent or West Texas Intermediate futures, both denominated in U.S. dollars. *China's move will allow exporters such as Russia and Iran to circumvent U.S. sanctions by tradin... more »

And the excessive rewards for those at the top are a prize for the people who play this game best. ... This text was a compromise and a (weary) triumph of drafti... more »
Dwyer’s Argument Against The “Objective Standard of Value”
Dale Lugenbehl’s article, “The Argument for an Objective Standard of Value,” was published in March 1974 issue (Volume 55, Issue 2) of *The Personalist*. In this article, Lugenbehl is making a case for the Objectivist theory of value, in face of claims from Robert Nozick and a few other philosophers that this theory is not sound. The same issue of *The Personalist* has William Dwyer’s article, “The Argument Against an ‘Objective Standard of Value’,” which as the title suggests is a response to Lugenbehl’s article. I think Dwyer has raised some valid concerns about the soundness o... more »

As a result, Japan has fielded the most sophisticated ballistic missile defense system outside of the United States. Japan first became aware of the bal... more »

"Why We're Doomed..."
*"Why We're Doomed..."* by Charles Hugh Smith "The point is the present system cannot endure. Despite all the happy talk about "recovery" and higher growth, wages have gone nowhere since 2000 - and for the bottom 20% of workers, they've gone nowhere since the 1970s. Gross domestic product (GDP) has risen smartly since 2000, but the share of GDP going to wages and salaries has plummeted: this is simply an extension of a 47-year downtrend. Last month I posted one reason "Why We're Doomed: Our Economy's Toxic Inequality" (August 16, 2017). The second half of why we're doomed is stag... more »

The Battle For Stalingrad Began 75 Years Ago
*Ian Johnson, War On The Rocks:* *The Motherland Calls: The Battle of Stalingrad, 75 Years Later* The most famous battle of World War II began a few days over three quarters of a century ago. More than four million combatants fought in the gargantuan struggle at Stalingrad between the Nazi and Soviet armies. Almost half – over 1.8 million people – became casualties. More Soviet soldiers died in this five-month contest than Americans died in the entire war. But months later, on February 2, 1943, when the Germans trapped in the city surrendered, it was clear that the momentum on the... more »
The Mafia Wants Their Guy, Now Out Of Prison, Back In Congress. Will Staten Island Voters Take Mikey Suits Back?
Former Mafia thug Michael,"Mikey Suits" Grimm got off very easy. He was given a sweet plea deal in return for resigning from Congress and for agreeing to not embarrass anyone in the FBI. So now he's out of prison after less than a year and already attacking former Staten Island D.A. and current NY-11 Dan Donovan from the right. In an interview, he told NY1 that he's thinking about primarying Donovan and trying to regain his old seat. "I haven't personally made a decision yet, but, honestly, I'm looking at it." He told the NY1 audience that he thinks Donovan isn't "doing well at al... more »

This Is How Japan Might Respond to a North Korean Missile Attack
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* This means war. This week’s overflight of Japan by a North Korean missile was a major escalation of Pyongyang’s missile strategy. Although not unprecedented, the overflight of the northern island of Hokkaido was a clear sign that North Korea did not expect Tokyo to actually do anything in response. If Japan wanted to mount a more muscular response, what options would it have? Japan is an avowedly pacifist country, with a military—actually a Self Defense Force—that is generally incapable of taking action against North Korea. The Self Defense Force... more »
Will Israel's New Stealth Jets Be Armed with Nuclear Weapons?
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Middle East* This could be a game-changer. By the end of this year, Israel is expected to become the second country after the United States to declare Initial Operational Capability for its F-35s. Already, Tel Aviv has taken possession of five of the multirole fighters, and following an agreement late last month to buy an additional seventeen planes, will ultimately purchase fifty planes. All fifty F-35s are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2024. Israeli officials typically describe the F-35s purpose as ensuring the country’s continued air super... more »
Here Is How Rommel Became One of Nazi Germany's Greatest Generals
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Before becoming known as the Desert Fox, General Irwin Rommel proved his prowess on European battlefields. The appointment of Erwin Rommel as commander of the 7th Panzer Division in February 1940 seems, in the light of his many triumphs in France and North Africa, an unremarkable and perfectly natural choice. At the time, however, nothing could have been further from the truth. For the invasion of France, code-named Fall Gelb (Plan Yellow), Germany had assembled roughly 135 divisions, but only 10 of these were panzer divisions. Rommel ... more »

There is another promising technology that can affect the future strategic balance: hypersonic weapons. In fact, any weapon can be considered hypersonic that can achieve a velocit... more »

The Far Right Has Plans To Kill The Progressive Movement By Neutering The Union Movement
Just as we prepare for the Labor Day weekend, *Guardian* reporter Ed Pilkington exposes a plot by a right-wing alliance to "defund and defang" the American union movement. That's hardly new but after years of whittling down the union movement, the conservatives see an opportunity for a knock out blow. The methods have been successfully tested in several states, including former labor bastions like Wisconsin. "Rightwing activists across the US have launched a nationwide campaign to undermine progressive politicians by depriving them of a major source of support and funding-- public... more »
Understanding Mr. Big's Domination Program
I first heard Thomas Barnett (then an instructor at the Naval War College) do a version of this talk called Pentagon's New Map around 2002. I watched the three-hour version on CSPAN one evening. He was on that occasion introduced as the "strategy guy" for George W. Bush's Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld. Barnett's arrogant presentation was ultimately about how the US's job under corporate globalization would be "security export". We won't have jobs in the USA anymore because corporations have gone looking for cheaper labor. So we will build weapons and wage war for declining ... more »
