It's a small thing in this world, but it was a fairly big thing for the Canadian political blogosphere a few years ago. In this story, a prominent lefty blogger attracted an adversary from the rightward side of the intertubes and said right-wing adversary made it his mission to expose the man behind the blogging pseudonym and then (stupidly) accuse him of pedophilia. Eventually, the targeted blog

Ah! "Democracy"! Well, we don't have a democracy in Canada. We elect representatives to negotiate from a position of weakness with the oligarchy. At the best of times. Then, here in Ontario, there are times like this, when less than 60% of the electorate votes and almost half vote out of ignorance, delusion, greed, stupidity or bigotry. (Or some combination of these.) And in so doing, elect a par
It's a good thing that I've long give up hope for this country and its people. Otherwise the victory of the Stupid, Ignorant, Greedy Party of Ontario would have come as quite a blow. Hegemony. The hegemony of a certain set of values, beliefs and prejudices is what allows something like Doug Ford and his Gang of Idiots, with their corruption, incompetence, lying, evasion, boorishness, sleaze, etc.

The old regime in the U.S. and Europe is collapsing in a way that is now becoming obvious even to the most brainwashed and illiterate Westerners. This collapse ultimately stems from the social instability cause by extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of a very small clique of closely interbred oligarchs now known as the Khazarian mafia.

What Is Sustainable

Professor Jared Diamond did research in New Guinea, and became buddies with many natives. One day, a lad asked him why some societies became so rich, and others did not. Why are there haves and have-nots? White folks with European ancestors have done better economically than folks in New Guinea, and many other regions. To a number of dodgy white gits, this was absolute proof of their racial super
In history classes, students struggle to memorize and regurgitate the names, dates, and places essential to our glorious myth — the sacred journey that brought us to the miracle of today. For many, this parade of dusty factoids is the story they will believe for the rest of their days. What I was taught about Christopher Columbus resembled a kindergarten fairy tale — the courageous hero succeeds.

When you're a MP and a woman you will, on the whole, get a great deal more shit than your male colleagues.

By Denis Rancourt, PhD RACISM. The Western middle-class ethos has been infected by a disproportionate taboo-like hyper-aversion to attitudinal and opinion racism. This is a socially engineered and recent pathology that is not checked by humour and satire.

This post is authored by Jeffrey Lewis and Dave Schmerler. Despite the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration, in which North and South Korea “confirmed the common goal of realizing, through complete denuclearization, a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula,” North Korea is completing a major expansion of an important factory for producing solid rocket motors for North Korea’s nuclear-armed missiles. …
While we’re waiting for the Singapore Summit to produce whatever it produces, it may be useful to ponder the record. There’s now more than a quarter-century’s worth of statements by North Korea and various other parties that have addressed Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions in one way or another. Taken together, they offer a yardstick for Singapore. …

One reason we look so often at sail technologies in these pages is that they offer us ways of leaving the propellant behind. But even as we enter the early days of solar sail experimentation in space, we look toward ways of improving them by somehow getting around their need for solar photons.

It’s always a shock for me when the soft air and fecund smells of spring slam into a parched and baked July, but seasonal change is inevitable. At least it is on Earth. We get such seasonal changes because of Earth’s obliquity, the angle of its spin axis relative to the plane of its orbit. For Earth, the angle has stayed pretty close to 23 degrees for a long time, although the tilt’s direction wo
The asteroid game is heating up. The Japanese probe Hayabusa 2 has arrived at asteroid 162173 Ryugu, the plan being to reach the surface with landers later this year and bring back samples in 2020.

Assuming both missions are successful, scientists will have the opportunity to c
New evidence for the nature of interstellar object ‘Oumuamua is in, making it far more likely that the unusual interloper is a comet rather than an asteroid. The data come from an array of instrumentation — the Hubble Space Telescope, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, ESO’s Very Large Telescope and the Gemini South Telescope — and show that `Oumuamua is slowing down slightly less than expected.
