The 1 Reason Why America's F-22s, F-35s, And B-2 Bombers Can't Be Stopped
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * Will stealth continue to be king? *Key point: *You can't kill what you can't see. Despite the loud and fast-growing chorus of analysts, critics and weapons developers who continue to raise the question as to whether stealth technology may slowly be becoming obsolete, some senior weapons developers are citing some ways current and emerging stealth platforms will - for years to come - remain very difficult to destroy. Russian built S-300 and S-400 air defense weapons, believed by many to be among the best in the world, are able to use digital technology ... more »
World War II's Last German Victory Ended Up Being a Train Wreck
*Daniel L. Davis* *Security, Europe* Field Marshal Manstein turned the fate of the battle. And then reality set in. *Key Point:* Leadership in battle can mean everything. To the Russians, the plan to liberate Ukraine held out the possibility of destroying the heart and soul of the German army, and with luck, bringing an early end to the war. The Soviet High Command, called the Stavka, ordered an attack into the Kharkov area where Manstein’s forces were defending using three main thrusts: the Voronezh, Southwestern, and Southern axis. The Voronezh front consisted of the Fortiet... more »
How Russia and China Almost Started World War III in 1969
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Soviet_border_conflict#/media/File:Sino-Soviet_border_conflict_May_1969.jpg] The two global powers clashed in 1969. *Key Point:* A dispute along the Sino-Soviet border led to multiple clashes as both militaries prepared for a fullbore war. The situation was narrowly resolved as the Chinese claimed superiority. Americans tend to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis as the most dangerous moment in Cold War brinksmanship. Despite some tense moments, Washington and Moscow resolved that crisis with only the dea... more »
3 Reasons Midwest Farmers Hurt By the U.S.-China Trade War Still Support Trump
*Wendong Zhang, Lulu Rodriguez, Shuyang Qu* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] It’s harvest time. America’s farmers have borne the brunt of China’s retaliation in the trade war that President Donald Trump launched in 2018. One reason: China is the biggest buyer of many U.S. agricultural products, such as soybeans, grain sorghum, cotton and cattle hides, which made these products an obvious target for retaliatory tariffs. The other related reason is more strategic: China hoped inflicting economic costs on U.S. farmers – who voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016 – would in turn... more »
China Couldn't Really Invade Taiwan, Could it?
*Ian Easton* *Security, Asia* The threat against Taiwan is very real. *Key Point:* The United States will have to grapple to with a security guarantee to Taiwan that might soon involve them in a dire war with China. A Chinese diplomat in Washington recently threatened that China would invade Taiwan if the U.S. Navy sent a ship to visit the democratic island, something that Congress has called upon the Pentagon to do in 2018. Is this just empty rhetoric? Or does it reflect Beijing's actual intentions? It's actually a bit of both. According to leaked Chinese military documents (a... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
"Why are there faint rings around this spiral galaxy? Possibly because the galaxy, NGC 4911, is being pulled at by its neighbors as it falls into the enormous Coma Cluster of Galaxies. If NGC 4911 ends up like most of the galaxies in the central Coma cluster, it will become a yellowish elliptical galaxy, losing not only its outer layers, but dust, gas, and its cadre of surrounding satellite galaxies as well. Currently, however, this process is just beginning. * Click image for larger sizes.* Visible in the above deep image from the Hubble Space Telescope are NGC 4911's bright nucleu... more »

Don't Tell Trump: In 2002, Iran Beat the U.S. Military in a Simulated War
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5666776/uss-antietam-cg-54-ras] How was that possible? *Key Point:* The problem is that Washington hasn't learned from its past mistakes and Iran could still sink a carrier under the right circumstances. As tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf region, it’s worth recalling a 2002 Pentagon war game in which a U.S. Marine Corps played the part of an enemy commander waging a bloody defensive campaign against a much more powerful U.S. force.

Another autumn, more fires, more refugees and incinerated homes. For California, flames have become the colors of fall. Free-burning fire is the proximate provocation for the havoc, since its ember storms are engulfing landscapes. But in the hands of humans, combustion is also the deeper cause. Modern societies are burning lithic landscapes - once-living biomass now fossilized into coal, gas and oil - which is aggravating the burning of l... more »

Survival Strategy for Empires and Republics
A good nation must be both: an empire and a republic. This means that the nation should be founded on republican values while retaining the ability to act like an empire. The history of last 2500 years shows that if a republic lacks the ability to act like an empire, then, within a few decades, it either gets ripped apart in a civil war or is conquered by an outside force. The same goes for empires which are not republics—they too have a short life. The successful republics cum empires in history are—the Roman Republic/Empire, the British Monarchy/Republic/Empire, and the American ... more »

My Recent E-Mail Exchange With Robert David Steele
Thank you, Robert. I expect that the remainder of Trump time brings with it the possibility of his impeachment, and also an elevated risk of major warfare. Trump is not likely to "drain the swamp." He'll be fortunate to survive the swamp. Whoever follows him in the White House is highly likely to be another puppet of the Zionists, the Jesuits or whatever Dark Lords satanically rule this realm. This entire reality is very highly programmed, in every way, at every level, whence the expression we've all heard: "Get with the program!"

Drunk Driving and Fake Science

Medical Doctor Discusses New Research on Cannabis
Dr. Allan Frankel, a board-certified internist at GreenBridge Medical in Santa Monica, California, has treated patients with medical cannabis for the past 13 years. Frankel is particularly excited by the discovery of a new cannabinoid molecule, tetrahydrocannabivarin or THCV. While very similar to THC, which is the psychoactive part of marijuana, THCV is not psychoactive, but can still induce a sense of “focused euphoria.” “It’s a wonderful feeling, I think, for [those with] depression and anxiety,” Frankel says. It’s also helpful for pain, which is a really important medical need.... more »
Dr. Brownstein: “Measles Amnesia” is False Science – Natural Immunity Superior to Vaccines
