It's docked on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, on Battleship Row.

And while that might seem like a staggering sum and raise questions about how regulators on the Continent managed to overlook this, the full scale of the money laundering that took place in the Baltics is even more staggering. ...more »

Russia and China Aren't Full Allies—Yet
*Erik Khzmalyan, Armen Sahakyan* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] And here's what Washington can do to keep it that way. The recent Sino-Russian military swaggering in Russia’s Far East may signal a new lasting alliance between the two Eurasian powers. This reactionary partnership is primarily due to the simultaneous American pressure against Moscow and Beijing and is coupled with their desire to challenge the U.S.-dominated global order. However, it may not be as permanent as it seems. Such tactical cooperation is not underpinned by common ideals, but rather by a shared desi... more »

Exposing the corruption of "identity studies", or, What a feminist Mein Kampf reveals about our universities, and modern life
Three academics collaborated to expose a philosophical corruption in academia that is poisoning modern life. Submitting twenty hoax papers to scholarly journals who specialise in what they characterise as "grievance studies" -- fields of 'scholarship' loosely known as “cultural studies” or “identity studies” (so-called "gender studies," for example) -- they managed to have accepted and published papers with "a slew of bewildering positions, including chaining up privileged school children as an educational opportunity and a push to include 'fat bodybuilding’ in professional bodybu... more »

Study: Non-psychoactive CBD Oil Effective in Reducing Anxiety
The legality of CBD (cannabidiol) oil has been a subject of confusion and misinformation. Simply put, CBD oil from industrial hemp is perfectly legal in all 50 states as long as it is sold as a supplement. In other words, it cannot claim to cure or remedy any ailment. The information on what CBD oil can do is spreading through many internet articles and sites that are easily accessible to the public. This can be a boon for many who suffer from various forms of anxiety but reside in states that do not permit medical marijuana use. A 2011 Brazilian human study demonstrated efficacy w... more »

The UN court ruled partially in favor of Iran, leading Secretary of State Pompeo to announce it was unilaterally pulling out of the treaty and blaming Iran for politicizing the court.

Bloomberg's Groundbreaking Report on a Chinese Supply-Chain Attack

"Truth Is Always Stranger Than Fiction..."
"Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees. Reminding us, that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations. Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world's stunning complexity, we shave reality to paper thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp – and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea in all it's immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble." - Dean Koontz

It Is Time to Update the President's Nuclear Command Authority
*Nikolai Sokov, Miles A.

Last week, the California Senate approved AJR-30, a resolution that calls for restricting presidential authority to launch a first nuclear strike.

It is the vote for the top national position, however, that dominates as there is no overwhelmingly frontrunner, which makes it likely that the country will face a highly polarized second round.

Kavanaugh: The Professors' Letter
Some 1700 law professors have written a brief letter (posted at The New York Times) stating that during his September 27 appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee Brett Kavanaugh “displayed a lack of judicial temperament” in a way “disqualifying for any court, and certainly for elevation to the highest court of this land.” The letter contends that at the hearing Kavanaugh “exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry” and that “instead of being open to the necessary search for accuracy” he “was repeatedly aggressive with questioners” and “[e]ven in his prepared remarks... more »

Last Gasp of the Nuclear Industry Prompts All Out RESCUE by Nuclearists
The civilian nuclear industry is dying because there are less costly market solutions for energy. Nuclear energy was never an efficient, market-based energy option. Now the civilian industry that was heavily subsidized by government is facing aging reactors and decommissioning costs that are exorbitant. The proposed solution is to subsidize nuclear once again NOT by paying for decommissioning, which is what should happen, but rather by extending the lifespan of decrepit plants that are continuously polluting their local environments with tritium and vent other radionuclides into t... more »
