On Churchill’s Unnecessary WarIn the preface to the first volume of his six-volume history, The Second World War, Churchill wrote: “One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once ‘The Unnecessary War.’ There never was a war more easy to stop than that which has just wrecked what was left of the world from the previous struggle.” Churchill knew that the Europeans had blundered into one of the costliest and bloodiest wars of the modern age. But he had played a major role in making this blunder possible, since he was Europe's bigg... read more

Musk's Twitter business planNY Post: Tesla CEO Elon Musk secured financing for his $44 billion takeover bid of Twitter by pledging to slash jobs and executive pay, among other cost-cutting measures, according to a report. Musk also told lenders that he would maximize profitability at the social media platform by monetizing tweets, though he did not provide specifics, and floated suggestions on how to boost revenue including a subscription service, according to Bloomberg News. Musk had to convince the banks that Twitter produced enough cash flow to service the debt he sought, according to the report. In the... read more

Despite this technological deficiency, clean energy advocates still insist we decommission "dirty" sources sooner rather than later.

When Icons Fall (2)
The fall of champion cyclist Lance Armstrong is particularly sad because at the age of 25 he was diagnosed with a serious form of cancer and was given a very negative prognosis. The cancer metastasised to his brain but miraculous chemotherapy saved his life. When he returned to cycling he was stronger than ever, but […] read more

When Icons Fall (1)
The second half of the Twentieth Century saw another category added to the nouveau riche, the celebrity sportsman, and to a lesser extent, sportswoman.

The war with Russia has exacerbated the chronic disease of Ukraine − corruption
The pro-government media of Ukraine managed to create an image of a government entirely focused on repelling the aggression of Putin’s Russia. However, the hopes of Ukrainian patriots that the problem of corruption, which literally engulfed the country after the overthrow of President Yanukovych in 2014, would lose its relevance during the war, were not […] read more

A Forever Culture War?The United States has always been viewed as a strong and confident country, with its people united in their self-identity and idealism. However, in the wake of the Trump Presidency, the nation has experienced violence, strained relations and even calls for secession. Although this is a disturbing trend, I contend that this apparent battle for […] read more

"The Empire Of Lies, Operation Z, & The New Global Chessboard"
*"The Empire Of Lies, Operation Z, & * *The New Global Chessboard"* by Pepe Escobar "Especially since the onset of GWOT (Global War on Terror) at the start of the millennium, no one ever lost money betting against the toxic combo of hubris, arrogance and ignorance serially deployed by the Empire of Chaos and Lies. What passes for “analysis” in the vast intellectual no-fly zone known as U.S. Think Tankland includes wishful thinking babble such as Beijing “believing” that Moscow would play a supporting role in the Chinese century just to see Russia, now, in the geopolitical driver’s s... read more

Untitled* Happy Earth Day! None of the environmental doomsday predictions of the last 52 years have come true* From predicting ecological collapse and the end of civilization to warnings that the world is running out of oil, all environmental doomsday predictions of the first Earth Day in 1970 have turned out to be flat out wrong. More than three decades before Greta Thunberg was born — the Swedish environmental activist on climate change — more than 20 million Americans participated in the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. We now look back at quotes from Earth Day, Then and Now,” by R... read more

Untitled* Why the Left Wants Twitter Over Tolstoy in Our Schools* If one leftist teachers group gets its way, reading literature in school will be replaced by reading internet memes and Twitter posts. A powerful group of educators called the National Council of Teachers of English recently released a statement calling on schools to “decenter book reading and essay writing as the pinnacles of English language arts education.” But why? To more thoroughly push its leftist ideology, of course. The statement goes on to support critical pedagogies, referring to Marxist ideas, a la critical race... read more

Tulkon, Day 3
It's the small hours of Sunday morning, and I'm writing this post at this time because my body refuses to let me sleep the sleep of the just. I guess that's either because I have a contrary body, or I'm not just. Further deponent sayeth naught . . . Yesterday was another fun day at Tulkon. This is a very new and still small convention, so it's a lot more intimate than larger gatherings of its type. One meets old friends at almost every panel or presentation, and little groups gather over coffee or more adult beverages, talk about anything and everything under the sun, then ... read more

Untitled* Many of the new working class are college-educated -- and they don't like that* In the days when America used to make things, people used to think of the working class as workers on a factory assembly line. Many jobs in new industries such as Amazon and Starbucks are however just as routine, with the wrinkle that such jobs are usually more poorly paid than the old factory jobs. So worker dissatisfaction in such new workplaces has become widespread and that has generated the same old pressures towards unionization. The NYT of course implies below that unionization will be helpfu... read more
