Banks Warned to Prepare for a TIDAL WAVE of DISTRESS! Millions Not Paying Mortgage
Dewey Fernfield, The Duran - 21 hours ago

True Threat? Meet China’s YJ-18 Supersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missile
Lyle J. Goldstein, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *PLA Navy, Asia* [image: PLA Navy] Beijing has a lot of missiles and it especially has been doubling down on anti-ship missiles. *Key point: *Washington tends to get nervous about China's new missiles, which Beijing rather likes. What have China actually revealed about this new weapon? Entering the Second World War, the United States dramatically underestimated the effectiveness of certain Japanese naval systems and operations. The tendency to look askance at Japanese naval prowess during the interwar period obviously impacted the failure to anticipate the P...
Vaping and Heart Disease: A Silent Killer?
Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Jamie Hartmann-Boyce* *Health, Americas* Bad science is clouding the issue. In June 2019, a paper by prominent US academics found that people who used e-cigarettes were at greater risk of a heart attack. The authors concluded that e-cigarettes were just as risky as tobacco in provoking heart attacks, and that using e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes at the same time was even riskier. Unsurprisingly, this caused a stir in the media – in the form of 35 news stories, to be exact. Also unsurprisingly, it provoked vigorous scientific debate. Eight months later, the paper was ret...
Watch This Saudi F-15 Destroy a Houthi Drone Over Yemen
Alex Hollings, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Alex Hollings* *Yemen War, Middle East* The drone shot down by the F-15 in the footage appears to be a Qasef-1, which is a suicide drone based on an Iranian design. New video of a Saudi Arabian F-15 taking out a suicide drone launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen surfaced on social media this week. These sorts of intercepts are not uncommon, but getting to watch an F-15 in the wild taking down targets on video is pretty rare indeed. The footage was first brought to our attention by Joseph Trevithick over at The Warzone. The video, which appears to have been recorded on a smartphon...

Światło przynosi uczciwość w życiu i w uczciwy sposób nie mogą istnieć w człowieku iluzje choroby.* *Człowiek został nauczony choroby, ponieważ został nauczony nieuczciwości przez tych, którzy wprowadzają w błąd i dezinformują dla swoich egoistycznych celów.

Becsületes élet: *Az emberiség illuzórikus panaszainak hosszú listájáról származó összes betegség és baj meggyógyításához elegendő a Fény és a Fény önmagában. Mert a Fény vele együtt őszinteséget hoz az életbe, és őszintén nem létezhetnek az Emberben a betegség illúziói.* *Mert az Embert megtanították arra, hogy beteg legyen, mivel megtanították arra, hogy becstelen legyen azok, akik félrevezetik és félretájékoztatják saját önző céljaik érdekében.

Poctivý život: *Světlo a světlo samo o sobě stačí k vyléčení všech neduhů a nemocí z dlouhého seznamu iluzorních stížností lidstva. Neboť Světlo s sebou přináší poctivost v žití a poctivým způsobem nemohou v člověku existovat iluze nemocí.* *Člověk byl totiž naučen být nemocný, protože byl naučen být nepoctivý těmi, kdo klamou a dezinformují pro své sobecké cíle.

An April Fools' Day paper on the swampland rules
Luboš Motl, The Reference Frame - 21 hours ago
On April 1st, 2021 various individuals and companies came with their April Fools' Day pranks, see e.g. this thread where I found the Cybermouse to be particularly well-made. Some scientists have also posted preprints that weren't meant as a serious contribution to science. One of them was from William Kinney, a cosmologist in Buffalo: The Swampland Conjecture Bound ConjectureFor a few seconds, before I understood it was a prank, I thought that the double appearance of the word "conjecture" was a typo. But be sure it is not a typo. This paper is a "meta-research" that counts the numbe...
Ruger Police Carbine: Is This the Best Gun for Any Police Department?
Richard Douglas, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Richard Douglas* *Guns, * Easy to pick up quickly, the Ruger Police Carbine was designed to be the best for officers of all sizes and skill levels. When it comes to choosing a long gun, police departments have to select a weapon that will be the best for officers of all sizes and skill levels and that’s quite a challenge. Ruger’s Police Carbine has been tailor-made to address the unique use for law enforcement. In all of my years, I have tracked the evolution of long gun choices in police departments. The quite long-standing choice of a pump-action shotgun was standard for dec...
How the L-38 Lightning Helped Win World War II

*Warfare History Network* *P-38 Lightning, Americas* They were a stalwart part of the Pacific air campaign. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Photo reconnaissance Lightnings played important roles in both Europe and the Pacific. In fact, the first P-38s to fly combat missions in the Pacific Theater were converted reconnaissance planes that were sent to Australia early in 1942. Due largely to their use in the postwar U.S. Army Air Forces and present proliferation among the air show community, the North American P-51 Mustang is thought of by many as the most important American fi...

Why Russia Both Covets and Thinks Poorly of American Aircraft Carriers

Simply the Best: Why Patton Was One of the Top U.S. Generals
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* George Patton’s unique upbringing was the correct formula for bringing out the best in a dyslexic person. It provided the only way for him to become a historic figure of his stature. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *General George S. Patton, Jr., was one of the most flamboyant and controversial figures of World War II. His career was also one of the most thoroughly documented of any of the war’s great commanders. Historians have had a treasury of material at their disposal as Patton was a prolific writer, kept personal diaries, and...
68 Tons of Trash: Meet Nazi Germany's Worst World War II Tank

*Warfare History Network* *World War II Tank, Europe* The weird and less than martial names assigned to this 68-ton fighting vehicle were oddly fitting. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While the United States and the Soviet Union settled early on basic, proven, armored fighting vehicles (the Sherman and the T-34 respectively, along with families of supporting tank destroyers), Nazi Germany produced an ultimately bewildering and industrially wasteful variety of machines.

"The regularity of the metrical cursus of the Exsultet would lead us to place the date of its composition perhaps as early as the fifth century, and not later than the seventh.

By 2030, Who Will Have the Deadliest Land Armies Across the Globe?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Great Power Competition, World* [image: Great Power Competition] As the world becomes more multipolar, expect to see more and more countries with big economies and advanced militaries looking to flex their newfound might. *Key point: *America, China, Russia, and India all come to mind. But which powers will truly be one top over the next deacde? The focus of ground combat operations has shifted dramatically since the end of the Cold War. Relatively few operations now involve the defeat of a technologically and doctrinally similar force, leading to the conquest or...
How the Beautiful B-58 Hustler Lost Its Chance at Life
Joseph Trevithick, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Joseph Trevithick* *B-58 Bomber, * Convair’s delta-wing Hustler was in some respects a fantastic aircraft. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The B-58 Hustler would never see combat and was never configured for non-nuclear bombing missions. In January 1970, the Air Force retired the aircraft. The flying branch’s nuclear-attack mission would fall to low-flying B-52s, B-1s, F-111s, stealthy B-2s and ballistic missiles — the latter of which were a testament to the success of concurrency. On Nov. 11, 1956, the first B-58 Hustler took flight. It would never see combat. An exotic, b...
Duel: Who Wins When Russian and U.S. Submarines Duke It Out?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Russian Navy, * After more than twenty years of American submarine supremacy, a new challenger has arisen from the deep. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Virginia class is quieter and has a better sonar rig than its Russian opponent. In the world of submarine warfare, that’s an unbeatable combination. It can move and detect in ways that would give away *Severodvinsk.* The United States Navy’s submarine force emerged from the Cold War as the undisputed masters of the undersea realm. The elite, all-nuclear submarine force watched as its Soviet submarine for...

Remember this: that which man has created that is not of the light
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 18 hours ago
Remember this: that which man has created that is not of the light he must uncreate through his invocation to the Holy Spirit and the correct use of the sacred fire. This is the essence and the all of the teaching. Karma is the discovery of causes behind effects and the facing of the responsibility for that karma. Once you have learned the law of cycles, of the return of energy and flux of light descending from the heart of the Sun, then you may also concern yourselves with dharma, which is the duty of the Law to fulfill the individual divine plan. You see, both are req...

With only a few notable exceptions, Israel can buy whatever it wants from the United States, generally on very generous terms associated with *U.S. aid packages*.

From Hitler to Bond to Today: Why the Walther PPK Pistol Endures

*Matthew Moss* *Firearms, Europe* [image: Firearms] The Walther PPK is still produced today and this gun has quite the colorful history. *Key point: *Hitler used the PKK to kill himself and year later James Bond used the gun in his movies. How did this weapon make its name and continue to be used all these decades later? On April 30, 1945, Adolf Hitler, leader of the Third Reich, killed himself with a 7.65-millimeter Walther PPK pistol. Terrified of falling into the hands of the Soviets, who were fighting their way through Berlin, Hitler first swallowed a hydrogen-cyanide capsul...
Why China Doesn’t Quit In a War (It Just Keeps Losing)
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *China War, Americas* Did the Chinese overstate the implications of the Gulf War? Yes and no. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *In 1991, Chinese military officers watched as the United States dismantled the Iraqi Army, a force with more battle experience and somewhat greater technical sophistication than the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The Americans won with casualties that were trivial by historical standards. This led to some soul searching. The PLA hadn’t quite been on autopilot in the 1980s, but the pace of reform in the military sector had not matched ...

These were the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom and the Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21. When these supersonic fighters ...

*"Are We Living In A 'Matrix'-like Superhologram?"* by David Talbot "In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subat...

"We're all susceptible to it, the dread and anxiety of not knowing what's coming. It's pointless in the end, because all the worrying and the making of plans for things that could or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog or take a nap. Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia is to be here, just as you are." - Dr. Meredith Grey, "Grey's Anatomy" Graphic: "Anxiety", Edward Munch, 1894
