Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* The asteroid hasn't hit quite yet but it has made its presence known. A few dinosaurs have noticed a scent in the air but most disregard it. It's time for the gravity to speed up the impact. That cannot come too soon. When Greta Thunberg's dynamic speech at the United Nations hit last week, it shook the slow-witted, slow-moving dinosaurs of the world even more than when the Parkland kids spoke up and said "Enough!" The right's reaction was predictable. The snickering "No little child is going to get in the way of our Earth-killing profiteering" statements came swiftly. ... more »
The Very Book The Government Does Not Want You To Read Just Went #1 In The World
The good news is that this book got out without the special attentions of the CIA censorship department. What we needed to learn is that the data gathering was global in scope. I wonder if that applied to China? There is obviously a fight underway over data control and it is dicy. It appears that the IC was subverted heavily over the past administration at the least. Are we winning? I do think so, but the depths of corruption is turning out to be mind boggling. And we have over 100,000 sealed indictments. *The Very Book The Government Does Not Want You To Read Just W... more »
Navy Confirms UFOs Are Real Using Two Videos of Mysterious Objects
Recently, they were given permission to do disclosure. this is a reasonable example of what we are going to see. What is not happening is that they are not so far volunteering a thing, but responding to material getting out. We can easily live with that as it starts building a body of fully accepted evidence without a blanket denial driven by security concerns. In this case trickle works. At some point the media will itself go critical and then pick up on the inventory that exists and start building on that. Sooner or later, we will get Paul Hellyer's disclosures tied into to ... more »
What You Need to Know About Ed Buck
This is obviously high profile and it stinks. Yet we hardly hear about it. Concurrently there are real numbers going down around the country of folks with no profile that are been arrested and sentenced. The MSM is not tracking any of it, although it would be easy enough with the tools available to the press. So far, the Epstein case has broken surface and will likely stand for all the underlying activity. . *What You Need to Know About Ed Buck's Alleged Chemsex Kink and the Men Who Overdosed at His LA Home* * The Democratic donor was charged with battery, maintaining a ... more »

Russia's BMPT “Terminator” Tank Isn't All It Is Cracked up to Be

Various incarnations of the vehicle were in development since the Soviet involvement in Afghanistan, and in some circumstances it was unsure what role the vehicle was even supposed to serve on the battlefield.

See This 'Rocket Launcher'? It Can Kill A Lot Of Tanks
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* [image: Alejandro Pena [Public domain]] Which would you pick? *Key point:* Anti-tank missiles are necessary for any infantry who will face armor. The Carl Gustav and the AT4 are some of the most popular anti-tank systems in the world. While the “dumb” rockets both launchers fire may seem outdated in a world full of anti-tank guided missiles, often times the additional weight and complexity a guided missile brings is unnecessary for a task. This has been proven by the effective use of the Soviet RPG-7 series of launchers by various adversaries th... more »
"Interest Rates Should Be Discovered, Not Made"
*"Interest Rates Should Be Discovered, Not Made"* By Bill Bonner YOUGHAL, IRELAND – "With nothing in the news to distract us, we get right to work. And we begin by turning to G.K. Chesterton, who described a crazy person as one who had nothing left other than his power of reason. If you’ve ever spoken at length to a lunatic, you see how reason runs amok: “The two-headed aliens come all the time. I kill them with my zapper gun.” “Oh… I’ve never seen any aliens.” “Of course not, I kill them all.” “I’ve never seen any dead aliens either.” “They disappear when I zap them.” Insane people h... more »

Singapore's Military Is Small But Can Kill
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* The city-state is ready to fight. *Key point:* As a small, but rich, city surrounded by bigger powers, Singapore takes its defense seriously.

Being a tiny city-state, one of the strongest arms of the Singaporean military is the Republic of Singapore Air Force. But how does it stack up against its neighbors, from the small to the big?

Fascists In Austria, Fascists On Fox News, Fascist In The Oval Office
I have a recollection from a history class that after World War I, the Treaty of Versailles prohibited the unification of Germany and Austria-- *Anschluss*. Unification was one of the goals Hitler laid out in *Mein Kampf*. In 1934 Austria's fascist Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss was assassinated by pro-*Anschluss* Austrian Nazis in a failed coup. His successor, Kurt Schuschnigg, was also a fascist and also resisted the idea of unification with Germany claiming Austrians were racially superior to the Germans.
