Today Is A Very Important Day In America
On Sunday, Selma "Bloody Sunday" veteran, John Lewis (D-GA) unexpectedtly showed up at the annual commemorative march and delivered an impassioned plea to voters to use the ballot box as "a nonviolent instrument or tool to redeem the soul of America." Is America still redeemable after just 3 years of Trump and the ascendancy of Trumpism? At around the same time, *The Atlantic* was preparing to published author George Packer's deeply disturbing opus, on how Trump is winning his war on American institutions, "destroying the civil service and bending the government to his will."

Immanuel Kant And Ayn Rand
Immanuel Kant succeeds in making an impression on all those who read and understand his works. But the problem is that the number of people who read Kant is limited; and the number of those who understand his philosophy is even more limited. Only those can be convinced by Kantian philosophy who are willing to make the effort to study his works. The animus that Ayn Rand’s devotees have for Kant makes no sense. Rand never read Kant and she has not written a single complete essay on him or made a comment on his philosophy that can be taken seriously by a real scholar. She writes for th... more »

THE TWO-CANDIDATE-RACE NARRATIVE MIGHT BE WRONG
Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg have now suspended their campaigns and endorsed Joe Biden. Elizabeth Warren is still in the race, but we all know she won't win -- she's been disappeared. And now Mike Bloomberg, despite all his money and despite the fact that the plutocracy likes his agenda, is also being disappeared by the media. So it's a two-candidate race, right? It may not be that simple. Here's a *USA Today*/Suffolk poll that has Bloomberg, not Joe Biden, in second place behind Bernie Sanders in California.

Faking an oil discovery to extort foreign aid?
It appears that the Republic of the Congo - not the "big" Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly known as Zaire, but its little brother, formerly known as Congo-Brazzaville - may have faked the discovery of new oil reserves in order to extort foreign aid to preserve an ecologically sensitive site. Der Spiegel reports: On the Republic of the Congo’s 59th Independence Day on Aug. 15, 2019, President Denis Sassou-Nguesso had an apparent sensation to announce to his people. A Congolese oil company claimed to have discovered an oil field in the north of the country with reserves of... more »

It Could Be War: Turkey and Russia Are Playing a Dangerous Game in Syria

REUTERS/Yoruk Isik] They can still pull back from the brink. The death of 33 Turkish soldiers in an airstrike in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province on 27 February brought the number of Turkish fatalities in Syria to around 50 for the month. It appears likely that the airstrike was carried out by Russian jets, and the event confirms that the 2019 Sochi ceasefire a... more »

*Matthew Reisener* *Security, Asia* A plan for the future of naval warfare. *Key point: *Hammes, however, is not in favor of scrapping America’s carriers right away, and instead advocates continuing to use the current carriers until they are retired Former President Bill Clinton remarked in 1993 that, “when word of a crisis breaks out in Washington, it's no accident that the first question that comes to everyone's lips is: ‘where's the nearest carrier?’” President Clinton’s sentiment still rings true today.

Bernie vs. Biden: A Super Tuesday Showdown for the Ages Has Arrived
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Politics, * Tomorrow, March 3, Biden is in the fight of his political life. With the departure of Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar from the race, he may have gotten a last-minute boost to his prospects. Joe Biden has been in politics for a half-century. In November 1970, the young Democrat won a seat on the New Castle City Council.

Big plans for additional ships died with the Soviet collapse, but Russia inherited one large aircraft carrier at the end of the Cold War—that remains in service today.

1983 CIA Document Reveals Plan To Destroy Syria, Foreshadows Current Crisis
*March 3, 2020* (Brandon Turbeville) - As the Syrian crisis enters its ninth year, the Donald Trump administration is looking more and more like the Obama administration every day. With the Trump regime refusing to open useful dialogue with Russia regarding Syria, it’s obvious anti-Iran and pro-Israel positioning, and support for a very questionable “safe zone” plan for Syria, the odds of a rational U.S. policy in regards to Syria has lower and lower odds of existence as time progresses. Yet, despite the fact that the Trump administration is apparently poised to continue the Obam... more »

Summers are getting Longer says the Australia Institute
by Anthony Cox It’s official, using BoM data the Australia Institute (AI), a left-leaning think tank which is just another alarmist ginger group, has declared that compared to 1950-1969, Summers are getting longer. In its press release is this dire graph: Looks bad, doesn’t it? Fortunately, it’s just the usual cherry-picking of already adjusted BoM data. What the AI has done is compared an El Niño dominated period, a positive Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) with a negative PDO, dominated by La Niña.

Covid-19 Infects Iranian Vice President, Kills Iran Ambassador To Vatican
*[image: View image on Twitter]* This is looking more and more like a targeted decapitation of both the Vatican and the mullahs. We could not ask for a better carrier. The conflict with Iran is best solved by decapitation rather than any form of a hot war. I understood this a long time ago. The problem with the NWO take over of the Roman Hierarchy can also be solved in the same way. We hear now that the first round of infection is the most dangerous. Thus we may expect a number of senior prelates and Mullahs to succumb. All this should change out both leaderships. I do expe... more »
4 Key Proteins of COVID19 Have Been Replaced, Which Can Precisely Attack Chinese
Reading this will give you a shock. What it argues is that the military of the USA has been creating dangerous biological weapons for decades and of course, they have never quit.

It is one thing to produce a weapon, it is quite another to actually use it. These outbreaks have been successfully countered. We have actually pretty well mastered HIV. It will mostly die out now.

The Fall Of Wuhan (Lessons For America)
From all indications, containment is impossible. If we are really lucky we can protect the seriously vulnerable somehow. The political response will be in the form of reassurance even when it is misplaced. How promoting panic will help escapes me. From all appearances, a full lock down will not help a lot and the disease will be about even after it is burned out. Thus Wuhan is a test case. I do get no sense that this disease is particularly debilitating in its milder form. The real danger is contracting pneumonia. Thus work at staying warm in particular. What is off putting ... more »

Media Hype Over Coronavirus is Spreading Faster Than the Virus Itself
Fear over Covid-19, the deadly strain of novel coronavirus, appears to be spreading even faster than the virus itself, as the subject continues to dominate the media. CNN, for example, has produced nearly 1,200 articles mentioning the outbreak, Fox News over 1,300. NBC News has added a coronavirus tab to its homepage, putting it on equal footing as business, world and sports And at the time of writing, two-thirds of the stories on Reuters’ newswire in the previous hour were on the subject, pushing other topics to the wayside. Certainly not helping the worry has been irresponsible cl... more »

I recall when he was murdered and a number of influential narcos were implicated in Camarena's death.
