Can Iran-backed Militias in Iraq Still Kill with Impunity?
*Maya Carlin* *military, Middle East* Iranian militias are vehemently opposed to any American troop presence in Iraq and carry out consistent rocket and drone attacks targeting U.S. military and diplomatic sites in Baghdad’s Green Zone on a near regular basis. On May 26, the Iraqi Security Forces arrested the prominent paramilitary leader Qasim Muslih, who is allegedly responsible for recent attacks targeting U.S. military personnel in Baghdad’s Green Zone. Muslih was arrested in accordance with Iraq’s anti-terrorism law and is also accused of being involved in the killing of ac... read more
The U.S. Navy Wants Drones to Hunt and Destroy Submarines
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Navy, Americas* The principle aim is to reach across otherwise unreachable swaths of ocean. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Drones will have a critical role to play in future warfare. Sonobuoy-equipped MH-60R helicopters launched from amphibious assault ships can search for submarines within a certain reachable radius of its host ship, depending their range and mission endurance. Yet, the scope of any submarine search is limited by the constraints of any manned air platform such as the MH-60R. However, drones do not have the same limitation. Imagine launching... read more

No Joke: The Royal Navy’s Dreadnought Submarines Can Kill Anything
*Caleb Larson* *Dreadnought Submarine, Europe* The name Dreadnought is steeped in historical significance. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Dreadnoughts couldn’t come a moment too soon. The first of the new submarines, the HMS *Dreadnought*, is expected to enter service with the Royal Navy in the early 2030s, keeping the older Vanguard-class operational for “at least 37 years, 13 years longer than the design life.” And once they do—they’ll rule the waves. The Dreadnought-class of submarines will replace the United Kingdom’s Vanguard-class submarines which currently provide... read more

Covid ‘science’ is bent beyond repair
Letter to the Editor Hello fellow Australians,Government responses to COVID 19 are often said to be “led by science.” However what we are seeing is the widespread censorship of science to support a narrative.

Russia Dreamed of a Massive Battleship Fleet (It Never Was Built)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Russia, * Stalin had long craved a strong navy that would extend Soviet influence far from Europe and Asia, and do it in a big way. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *As predominantly land power, the Soviet Union was fated to spend most of its resources on land forces. Sea power by necessity came in at third place. At the end of the Second World War, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin stood undisputed as the most powerful man in Eurasia. His Red Army had crushed Nazi Germany, repelling an invasion and going on to capture Berlin after a grueling, four year campaign. S... read more

Galileo and The Medici
The Medici family played an important role in Galileo’s life. Galileo was the son of a poor descendent of a Florentine noble family. He wanted to become a painter but his father felt that painting was not a worthy profession for a man of noble birth, and he studied medicine instead. Galileo began his career in 1589 as a teacher of mathematics in the University of Pisa. His colleagues were unable to bear his sarcasm and independence, and they made it clear to him that if he decided to resign, they would gladly accept his resignation. In 1592, Galileo moved to the University of Padua... read more

The Most Important Truth about the Coming “New World Order” Almost Nobody is Discussing
A little over a year ago, before COVID-19, to bring up the subject of a "New World Order," or a "One World Government," was to be branded as a "conspiracy theorist," in spite of the fact that such global institutions as the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, and many other global institutions have been publishing materials on their view of the future for decades, and predicting things such as a major reduction of the world's population and a central world-wide government.

*Kamran Bokhari* *Afghanistan, China, Central Asia* Coming up with a long-term mechanism on how to deal with Afghanistan post-withdrawal should be the starting point for strategically enhancing ties with the region that sits at the heart of the Eurasian landmass. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is wrong when he says that the United States is exiting Afghanistan because it needs to commit resources on countering China. The two goals are not necessarily mutually exclusive of one another. On the contrary, Washington can do both by strategically engaging with Central Asia. Reliable... read more
America Needs Clarity on the China Cold War
*David Keene, Dan Negrea* *China, Asia* To win this multi-decade contest, the United States must organize a whole-of-society effort at home and also lead the Free World. The first step is to recognize that it is a “Cold War.” And to call it that. The United States needs to be clear that its sharp conflict with Communist China is a new cold war. Today’s China is a revisionist and expansionist totalitarian state whose leaders’ dream is a world they can dominate and reshape. That they are developing the power to make their dream a reality makes China not just a competitor or adversa... read more
5G Beast, Endocrine Disruptors and Dysgenics – the Depopulation Agenda is in Full Force
A 2018 study of birthrates in the United States found that births were down by 600,000 in just one year — and this is with 4G, and prior to the 5G Beast roll out beginning nationally in 2019 . Now the number of babies born in the U.S. dropped by 4% in 2020 compared with the previous year. The general fertility rate was 55.8 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44, reaching yet another record low. “This is the sixth consecutive year that the number of births has declined, down an average of 2% per year, and the lowest number of births since 1979,” the National Center for Health Statis... read more
The Most Important Truth about the Coming “New World Order” Almost Nobody is Discussing
A little over a year ago, before COVID-19, to bring up the subject of a "New World Order," or a "One World Government," was to be branded as a "conspiracy theorist," in spite of the fact that such global institutions as the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, and many other global institutions have been publishing materials on their view of the future for decades, and predicting things such as a major reduction of the world's population and a central world-wide government. Fast forward to today, June of 2021, and the idea is no longer so far-fetched, particularly for... read more

Big or small, navies worldwide have the same basic mission—to project military might into neighboring waters and beyond.

Stimulus Check News Flash: Just How Much Have They Helped?
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus, * The part of society that was hardest hit by the pandemic, the lowest earners, will probably take the longest time to recover. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Biden administration, to its credit, has tried to focus his aid on those hardest hit by the pandemic. Rather than implementing a fourth stimulus check – which would give every American below a certain income level cash relief, arguably including those who do not urgently need it – the president’s measures have been more targeted. There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has had extr... read more

"COVID, Learned Helplessness, And Control"
*"COVID, Learned Helplessness, And Control"* by Peter Van Buren "In the post-vaccination era, why don’t people remove their masks? Learned helplessness, employed as a control tool. Learned helplessness is well-documented. It takes place when an individual believes he continuously faces a negative, uncontrollable situation and stops trying to improve his circumstances, even when he has the ability to do so. Discovering the loss of control elicits a passive reaction to a harmful situation. Psychologists call this a maladaptive response, characterized by avoidance of challenges and th... read more

Is the U.S. Navy Preparing to Counter China?
*Kris Osborn* *military, Americas* The service still envisions a five-hundred-ship Navy as an aim point or goal toward which to strive. The Chinese Navy is already larger than the U.S. Navy, and on track to reach as many as five hundred ships by 2030, without even counting its militarized Coast Guard vessels. That means the U.S. Navy could find itself spread too thin in the event that concentrated Chinese maritime forces in the Pacific were to mount some kind of offensive or aggressive military action.

What the Fall of Netanyahu Would Mean for Israel

The makeshift alliance includes both left- and right-wing factions, as well as a small Islamist party. These disparate groups are united less by a shared policy vision than by their opposition to Netanyahu. The ouster is made possib... read more

Abandoned wolf pup adopted by a Russian woman now live together in her house
Kira is a wolf. She was abandoned by her mother when she was 3 days old and couldn’t survive in the wild because of that. Thankfully, a Russian woman named Alida decided to take her in, raise her, and train her so she could have another chance in life. Alida had to work hard to domesticate Kira. Wolves are scared of new things, so a lot of socialization was needed. Kira met with grownups, kids, and other animals. She went to all sorts of places and now she’s a fully domesticated wolf that wouldn’t hurt anyone. “Kira’s mom used to live with a family, but they didn’t manage to take c... read more

D-Day, the 6th of June 1944, marked the beginning of the end of World War II in the Western European theater. The Allied armies invaded five beaches in Normandy, and by nightfall had established a foothold on the continent of Europe that would lead to the elimination of Nazi forces in the West within a year. Germany, tied down by her far larger and bloodier battles with the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front, could not muster enough forces to stop the Western invaders. Her defeat was now inevitable.
