How Breitbart Helped Conservatives Forget Morality and Embrace Pedophilia

Land Destroyer at Land Destroyer - 7 minutes ago
*February 23, 2017* (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - Breitbart News is what many on the right side of America's controlled political paradigm consider "real news" versus the "liberal media's" "fake news." However, in reality, Breitbart is a textbook case of what is called "cognitive infiltration." It is the establishment's attempt to reassert itself, its narratives, influence, and agenda amid an information space increasingly decentralized and controlled by genuine alternative media. In order to do this, Breitbart poses as "alternative media" itself, taking on a "conservative" identity to ... more »

A Look At How Bunker Busting Bombs Are Made

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 47 minutes ago
*We Are The Mighty*: *This is why Bunker Buster bombs are made from spent howitzer barrels* It was a common sight during Desert Storm: grainy black-and-white footage of an Iraqi bunker or hanger slowly getting closer and closer to the screen. Munitions with cameras fed the footage of new, precision-guided “smart bombs” to Americans watching the war at home. Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Army used underground facilities beneath layers of sand and reinforced concrete to protect his command and control centers, research labs, and ammo dumps. The U.S. military tasked its defense apparatus t... more »

Broadband internet can help rural communities connect – if they use it

Brian Whitacre, Professor and Extension Economist, Oklahoma State University at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 53 minutes ago
Using the internet is what matters. Woman on laptop via shutterstock.com Being able to connect to the internet is crucial for many rural Americans. It allows them to buy goods and services that may not be available locally; market their own goods and services to a much larger area; connect remotely with health services that previously required several hours’ worth of driving; and even telecommute. Academic studies have found that broadband access led to more new businesses in rural areas, and that high levels of broadband adoption were associated with increased median household inco... more »

Transgender People-- A Tribute With Love To My Dear Friend Jack, Then Jane,  In Graduate School.

*-by Melody Siegler* One of my best friends in graduate school was Jack. He was a serious scientist-- an accomplished scientist-- way more accomplished in his field than most graduate students of our cadre in Biology. Also, he was amazingly expert in old music, old 45s. And, who knows what else. He related well to everyone in the Department. And, he was always wonderful company. Jack had a health problem-- he had been born with various defective heart valves. But, by some miracle, these defects compensated for each other. Not completely though-- whenever we went somewhere that in... more »

On The Four Objectivist Rules Proposed in The Post-Ayn Rand Era

Anoop Verma at For The New Intellectual - 1 hour ago
In my yesterday’s post I discuss Robert Tracinski’s shocking article “ Anthemgate,” in which he gives a rather sad critique of the ethical and philosophical standards of the topmost philosophers and leaders of Objectivism. In today’s post I am taking note of Tracinski’s second article on the Objectivist movement, “The 1980s Called, and They Want Their Objectivism Back.” He makes a scathing attack on the four new rules that he claims the leaders of the Objectivism developed in the 1980s (the post-Ayn Rand era) with the intention of strengthening their control over the international O... more »

How undocumented immigrants negotiate a place for themselves in America

Robert F. Barsky, Professor of English and French Literatures, and Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 1 hour ago
Once undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers arrive on American soil, they run the risk of being stopped by law enforcement officials who are charged with investigating their status. A Feb. 17 memo released by the Department of Homeland Security reveals how great this risk will be under President Donald Trump. The department is planning to hire thousands of additional enforcement agents and has widened the scope of immigrants who are a priority for deportation. It also calls for an expansion of the 287(g) program that designates law enforcement officers as immigration officers... more »

Team Trump is going around the world telling people to ignore what Trump himself says. When the cameras are rolling, the Trumpists are just delivering an alternative message-- the opposite of what Trump says on a wide range of topics. When the cameras *aren't* rolling, they've been letting European leaders know that what Trump says for domestic consumption is just to placate or arouse his feeble-minded and drugged up fans and that most of it isn't related to actual American policy goals.

Research done by SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) for global total of military spending in 2015. US leads the pack spending 36% of the world share. Add NATO members/partners to the US numbers and you get well over 50%. Russia comes in at 4% and last year (2016) they actually cut their military budget due to economic sanctions and drop in oil revenues. So is Russia really able to 'recreate the Soviet Empire' and attack Europe as the western media and Washington-London-Brussels-Berlin-Paris claim? Total nonsense. The numbers speak for themselves.
