Black Mass Incarceration In The So-Called Free State
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
Maryland holds itself up as a progressive state when it comes to criminal justice, but a recent report highlights a stark reality: Maryland incarcerates Black people at more than twice the national rate. Until recently, the horrifyingly unjust reality of America’s mass incarceration system has not been a central concern in popular political discourse.

Kingman Rises from the Dead?
KRandle, A Different Perspective - 11 hours ago
Like so many of the crashed UFO tales, this one is basically a single witness. Or rather, a single identified witness, and then some testimony from another source that suggests corroboration. That second witness is second hand, having heard the story from her late husband. And then a hint of additional witnesses that seemed to have leaped on the Kingman bandwagon later. In other words, in the final analysis, it is not a strong case but had the potential to be one. Kingman, Arizona. Photo by Kevin Randle. When first reported by Raymond Fowler in the April 1976 issue of* Official U...
New Report: Judge, Jury And Occupier
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
Israel’s military occupation of Palestinian land is now in its 54th year. Throughout this time Palestinians have never stopped fighting for their inalienable rights; rights denied to them by the systemic and daily violence of occupation. This violence is manifested in settlements, checkpoints, the Apartheid Wall – and in Israel’s farreaching system of military rule in the West Bank, enforced by military courts and prisons: the topic of this report. As of January 2021, Israel holds 4,500 Palestinians as political prisoners, 450 of whom are held in administrative detention, and 140 ...
How The Third Way Turned Its Back On Democracy
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
The problem of democratic representation has always turned on the question of the ‘have-nots’ — that is, not only those without wealth and property, but also those marginalised on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, origin, religion, and education. Even in a world of fully-fledged democratic rights, the democratic game tends to break in favour of the ‘haves’. They enjoy an easy affinity with political elites who are not so different from them, and they experience democratic politics as a hospitable and responsive place. When in doubt, they can back-channel, mobilise proxies and ...

A screaming deal for book lovers - and everyone else, too
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 11 hours ago
If you've lamented the shocking fall-off in the quality of books written today, where foul language, political correctness and rampant stupidity seem to characterize much of the modern market, then you're in for a treat.

Tank Trash: Why the M551 Sheridan Ultimately Failed
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* The tank had troublesome armament and inadequate armor. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Troops in the field appreciated the Sheridan for being there where it was needed. The M551 Sheridan light tank is largely remembered as a curiosity, an innovative weapon system that proved an overcomplicated failure in action. However, several hundred Sheridans provided useful service in three wars, and left behind a small but noticeable gap in the force structure since being withdrawn in the 1990s that the Army has struggled to fill. That’s because t...

On October 30, 1967, a CIA spy-plane soared eighty-four thousand feet over Hanoi in northern Vietnam, traveling faster than a rifle bullet at over three times the speed of sound.

India’s indigenously developed technology—and a lot of Russian hardware and help—all keep Pakistan and China at bay. *No-First-Use* “An NFU policy essentially constitutes a promise, backed by a survivable nuclear arsenal, to only use nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear attack,” explained a Carnegie publication. “The logic is simple and effective: you don’t nuke me, and I won’t nuke you.

Iraq’s Oil Revenues Hit 13-Month High In February 2021
Joel Wing, MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 12 hours ago
Iraq boosted its oil exports in February 2021 to coincide with a 14-month high in petroleum prices. That resulted in high revenues for the government which is desperate for cash after suffering through the latest collapse in the energy market. While this is short term good news, long term it means the country’s elite will ignore the urgent need for economic reforms once more. In February 2021 Iraq exported an average of 2.96 million barrels a day of oil. That was up from 2.868 million barrels in January and the highest amount since May’s 3.212 million.
