Will Fortune Favour the Knave?
Where has the weekend of bullying and bluster got Boris Johnson? Saying Tory MPs who vote against the government in the Commons tomorrow will be deselected has, at least at the time of writing, firmed up the Tory refuseniks.

Of this two-way traffic- this awareness- we create a soul. At this moment, as I sit at my desk on a hillside in the west of Ireland, I try to be aware.

Life Sized Teaching
Like many teachers, I mostly hate movies and tv shows about teaching. There are too many about hero teachers, larger than life pedagogues who singlehandedly change the world and dramatically shift the course of entire lives (though they generally only teach one prep a day-- seriously, did Mr. Kotter or Mr. Feeney ever teach any other students?) It's enough to make ordinary mortals feel inadequate. It's easy for young teachers to develop feelings of inadequacy, to go home and night haunted by the knowledge that you did not change the life of every single child in your class today. I ... more »

Beware (And Prepare): The American Empire Is Collapsing
When empires fall, they do not go down gracefully. The collapse is sudden and the consequences are permanent.

Now, the killing of children alongside their parents has become all too frequent. Perhaps t... more »
"You Know, We Never See..."

But eventually - and this is my belief - that we come to see it, not as despairing, but as vitalizing. We never see the world exactly as it is because *we* are how the world is.” - Maria Popova

"When Life Itself Seems Lunatic..."
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams - this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness - and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!" - Miguel de Cervantes in "Man of La Mancha"
Japan's Super Aircraft Carrier Was the Biggest Warship Ever Sunk by a Submarine
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Here is how it went 'down'. *Still, the Shinano's crew wasn't unduly worried. The ship was designed to absorb such damage, and in fact continued to try to sail at maximum speed. But water flooded through the holes in the ship's side, flowing into unsecured spaces and through what should have been watertight doors. Pumps and generators failed. Soon the carrier acquired a list to starboard that only got worse.* If weight alone could determine victory, then the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier *Shinano* might still be afloat. At 69,000 tons when ... more »

Warship Dream: Could You Build a 'Battleship-Submarine'?
*Steve Weintz* *Security, * A century ago submarines presented as much of a challenge for naval war planners as drones do today. Like airborne and surface stealth decades later, underwater stealth was a game-changer—but how to use it? *To supplement her reconnaissance and gunnery range, Surcouf—like M-2—carried a collapsable floatplane in a watertight hanger. Though never used in combat, the small Besson MB.411 seaplane could call in long-range ship sightings and gunfire corrections to the submarine.* A century ago submarines presented as much of a challenge for naval war planne... more »
"The Future..."
"We do not rest satisfied with the present. We anticipate the future as too slow in coming, as if in order to hasten its course; or we recall the past, to stop its too rapid flight. So imprudent are we that we wander in the times which are not ours, and do not think of the only one which belongs to us; and so idle are we that we dream of those times which are no more, and thoughtlessly overlook that which alone exists. For the present is generally painful to us. We conceal it from our sight, because it troubles us; and if it be delightful to us, we regret to see it pass away. We try... more »

Protests staged by 30th Brigade in August against PM Mahdi's order to have it withdraw from Mosul and the Ninewa Plains (Al Mada) In July 2019 Prime Minister Adil Mahdi issued an executive order that the Hashd would be further integrated into the state.

"Labor Day Reflections: Retirement After The Bubbles Burst?"
*"Labor Day Reflections: Retirement After The Bubbles Burst?"* What happens when these monstrous speculative bubbles pop? by Charles Hugh Smith Let's start by stipulating that if I'd taken a gummit job right out of college, I could have retired 19 years ago. Instead, I've been self-employed for most of the 49 years I've been working, and I'm still grinding it out at 65. By the standards of the FIRE movement (financial independence, retire early), I've blown it. The basic idea of FIRE is to live frugally and save up a hefty nestegg to fund an early comfortable retirement. As near as ... more »

Bankrupt and Irrelevant: the Presidential Debates and Four Recent Studies on Pentagon Spending
[image: undefined] In the almost 12 hours of Democratic Party presidential primary debates on June 26-27 and July 30-31, the words “Pentagon budget” or “defense spending” were not uttered, except for a fleeting, unanswered comment from Senator Bernie Sanders. Nor did any of the cable news moderators ask a single question about the more than $1.25 trillion dollars spent in 2019 for national security. This is sad but unsurprising. Despite the parade of scandals and the billions of dollars wasted on poorly performing, schedule busting, cost exploding weapons systems, the dismal failur... more »
Forget the Russians: It’s the Federal Reserve Seeking to Meddle in Our Elections
[image: undefined] The US Constitution never granted the federal government authority to create a central bank. The Founders, having lived through hyperinflation themselves, understood that government should never have a printing press at its disposal. But from the very beginning of America’s founding, the desire for a crony central bank was strong. In fact, two attempts were made at creating a permanent central bank in America prior to the creation of the Fed. Fortunately, the charter for The First Bank was allowed to expire in 1811, and President Andrew Jackson closed down the Se... more »

West’s “Humanitarian” Claims Struggle as Syrian War Nears Endgame By Tony Cartalucci
Headlines emanating from the West regarding Syria’s ongoing war have a common theme – allegations of Syria and Russia’s “ruthless barrage” of the northern region of Idlib. So often – however – has the US and its allies falsely invoked “humanitarian concern” that these headlines fall on informed and discerning ears who not only reject it, but have cemented in their minds a familiarity with this ploy that will make it all but impossible to use it again on whatever battlefield the US shifts its foreign policy to next.

So why are they still charging fees?
