The Time America Went to War with a Volcano
*Michael Peck* *Airpower, Americas* The United States unleashed a massive bomb on a volcano in the 1930s. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Ten bombers were dispatched, each carrying two 600-pound bombs, with each bomb containing 300 pounds of explosive. This would not the be last time that Mauna Loa would feel the wrath of American airpower. On December 27, 1935, the U.S. Air Force attacked a most fiery enemy ever: a Hawaiian volcano. Technically, it wasn't the air force in 1935, but the U.S. Army Air Corps. Nor had Congress declared war on the volcano, or passed an Authoriz... read more

RIP Mike Finnigan
I was very sad to hear about the death of my friend and blogging colleague, Mike Finnigan, due to kidney cancer at the age of 76. Mike was a superb musician and a fantastic, generous guy. Celebrity Access has a brief obituary that lists some of his impressive musical credits. He was sought after for his notable chops as a keyboardist (especially on the Hammond B-3 organ) and as a singer. John read more
Would Israel Start A Nuclear War? Probably Not
*Robert Farley* *Security, * If Israel ever does use nuclear weapons in anger, it will rewrite the diplomatic and security architecture of the Middle East. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Why go nuclear? The biggest reason would be to ensure the success of the strike; both the device itself and the people handling the device would be important targets, and a nuclear attack would ensure their destruction more effectively than even a massive conventional strike (which might well accompany the nuclear attack). The idea that Israel might lose a conventional war seems ridiculous n... read more
Biden’s Revenge: Fueling ‘Madness of Militarism’ in Afghanistan
SAN FRANCISCO, Sep 02 (IPS) - Joe Biden provided a stirring soundbite days ago when he spoke from the White House just after suicide bombers killed 13 U.S. troops and 170 Afghans at a Kabul airport: “To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.” Read the full story, “Biden’s Revenge: Fueling ‘Madness of Militarism’ in Afghanistan”, on globalissues.org → read more
The USS Nautilus Forever Transformed American Submarines
*Kyle Mizokami* *Submarines, Americas* Just nine years after the atomic bomb test at Alamogordo, New Mexico, Nautilus was underway and using nuclear power. *Here's What You Need to Know*: *Nautilus* was formally commissioned into service on September 30, 1954. In 1948, the U.S. Navy established a Nuclear Power Branch, kicking off a revolution in ship propulsion. The department, headed by legendary naval officer Adm.

Why China Struggles to Produce an Indigenous Jet Engine
*Robert Farley, J. Tyler Lovell* *Security, Asia* The PRC must make difficult choices if it is to master fighter engine design, and thus maximize the effectiveness of its air arm. *Heres' What You Need to Remember: *The appropriation strategy remains constrained by bottleneck technologies due to lack of testing data and industrial ecology. This problem is starkly illustrated by China’s ongoing difficulty in producing a high-quality indigenous jet engine. The Chinese defense industrial base is infamous for its tendency to “borrow” from foreign designs, particularly in the aerospac... read more
How Using a Cell Phone Got a North Korean Woman Arrested for Spying
*Stephen Silver* *North Korea, * She was sent to a political prison camp, her family was exiled, and their house was confiscated. The North Korean regime does not much care for its people using unauthorized cellular phones. Last year, North Korea started cracking down harder on Chinese cell phones. While mobile phone hardware imports have been illegal in North Korea since the U.N. sanctions of 2017, some phones have found their way in regardless.

Is Capturing an Oil Field Worth Wrecking Your Country?
*Michael Peck* *History, * Consider the oucomes of these five oil wars. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *By 1945, the U.S. submarine blockade, as well as aerial mining of Japanese waters, had so decimated Japan's tanker fleet that the Japanese cut down forests to make crude aviation fuel. Attacking America was supposed to guarantee Japan unlimited oil, but instead it led to the destruction of the empire. For the last hundred years, oil has been a frequent reason for war. Nations have fought wars, or shaped their military strategy during a war, to conquer oil fields or prevent... read more
autopsy (post-mortem) of a COVID-19 body
This report has not been verified. The COV 19 event conforms to a weaponized medical event using several detectable agencies, but all focused on a viral theory. Earlier we posted that the treatments supported bameosis contamination bypassing vaccine sterilzation methods. The contamination could well be irradiated bameosis. We also know that a partially weaponized viral agency was transferred from a level four facility in Canada to Wuhan and then discoved in victims there. This confirms leakage from the lab. We also know that the CCP had intent and opportunity to do this a... read more
Kuksu Shamans
In our presernt culture, labeling some practise or person as shamanistic serves to diminish. In fact we are taught to simply dismiss it all. What we now know to be true is that the other side is physically real as is our serious difficulty in communicating with the other side. It is the New World without so much as a caraval. Shamans world wide work toward some form of direct communication usually through cooperative ancestral spirits. As this is all physucally real and a living attachment also exists, it is certainly an excellent place to start. It is also true that this b... read more

Recall Gavin Newsom? California’s Election Drama Heats Up

Britain Got the Victory It Needed in 1940 at Dunkirk
*Michael Peck* *World War II, Europe* The British Expeditionary Force had nowhere to run in 1940, until a heroic evacuation at Dunkirk. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* There were four hundred thousand British and French troops to evacuate through a moderate-sized port whose docks were being destroyed by bombs and shells.

Buffalo Starbucks Workers Say They Will Unionize One Store At A Time
The fast food industry, one of the most ubiquitous low-wage employers in America, has been notoriously immune to unions. For nearly a decade, the Fight For $15 campaign has been successfully working to raise the industry’s wages — but despite its slogan of “$15 and a union,” has not produced any actual unions. Now, an unrelated group of Starbucks employees in Buffalo, New York, are poised to move forward with something that has rarely been seen before: Union elections at individual fast food stores.
