Is This How Western Civilisation Will Collapse?
*Rachel Nuwer, BBC:* *How Western civilisation could collapse* Some possible precipitating factors are already in place. How the West reacts to them will determine the world’s future, says Rachel Nuwer. The political economist Benjamin Friedman once compared modern Western society to a stable bicycle whose wheels are kept spinning by economic growth. Should that forward-propelling motion slow or cease, the pillars that define our society – democracy, individual liberties, social tolerance and more – would begin to teeter.

Jon Ossoff's Big Win In Deep Red GA-06-- Runoff With Anti-Choice Fanatic June 20

Why the French presidential candidates are arguing about their colonial history
Jennifer Sessions, Associate Professor of History, University of Iowa at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 3 hours ago
When the French presidential elections begin on April 23, the world will be watching closely. Polls are tightening up, but Marine Le Pen, of the far-right National Front (FN) Party, seems likely to get through to the second, runoff ballot on May 10. Will the xenophobic populism that brought Brexit to the U.K. and Donald Trump to the White House claim the Elysée Palace, too? Le Pen’s expected advance has been one of the few constants in a campaign marked by surprising, dispiriting twists. To a historian of French colonialism like me, one of the most revealing is the renewed debate... more »

Is North Korea Developing A 'Carrier-Killer' Missile?
Image Credit: Twitter: stoa1984 *Ankit Panda, The Diplomat*:* Is North Korea Working Toward a 'Carrier-Killer' Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile?* Say hello to the KN-17. When I discussed North Korea’s latest show-stopper of a military parade over the weekend, I didn’t have too much to say about one of the new missiles that Pyongyang decided to show off. The missile in question appeared to be a Scud/Nodong variant and — like the Pukkuksong-2 that we saw tested for the first time in February — was on a tracked transporter erector launcher (TEL). Notably, the missile had fins on its nose ... more »
The White House claimed that it was sending an aircraft carrier to the Sea of Japan as a message to North Korea. So why is it going in the opposite direction?
I am going to send our warships to North Korea as soon as somebody tells me where they are. Courtesy of the New York Times: *As worries deepened last week about whether North Korea would conduct a missile test, the White House declared that ordering an American aircraft carrier into the Sea of Japan would send a powerful deterrent signal and give President Trump more options in responding to the North’s provocative behavior. * *The problem was, the carrier, the Carl Vinson, and the four other warships in its strike force were at that very moment sailing in the opposite direction, ... more »

Former Nashville mayor, Karl Dean, is running to be TN's next governor. He is running as a Democrat, but he is no less a Wall Street corporatist than Michael Bloomberg, Rahm Emanuel, or the Clintons. As mayor, Dean's most visible accomplishments, aside from killing a mass transit effort that was opposed by the auto lobby and Gov. "Pilot Oil" Bill Haslam, were 1) providing incentives and other tax breaks for big business to locate or expand in Nashville and, 2) leading a muscular advocacy for school privatization via corporate charter school expansion.

Bewildered Beaver Becomes Accidental Leader Of 150 Curious Cows

Public Perceptions Of The GOP Is Dismal Heading Towards 2018 Midterms
What a shame the public also sees through the corporate nature of the careerist Democrats in DC! Otherwise they'd practically be able to expel the Republicans from Congress altogether. According to an extensive poll released yesterday by Pew the Republicans look like they'll be shedding at least the 2 dozen seats the Democrats need to win in the House to stop Trump's toxic legislative agenda. Unfortunately, though, people hate the Republicans but they hate the Democrats nearly as much. Let's start with Speaker Ryan. You know how bad Trump's job approval ratings are?

4 REASONS WHY TRUMP’S PLAN TO STRIP THE IRS IS INCREDIBLY...
Robert Reich - 9 hours ago
*4 REASONS WHY TRUMP’S PLAN TO STRIP THE IRS IS INCREDIBLY DUMB* Donald Trump is proposing a 14.1 percent cut in the I.R.S.’s budget next year. This is incredibly dumb, for four reasons: 1.* It won’t save money.* To the contrary, this move worsens the budget deficit. That’s because every dollar spent by the IRS to collect taxes generates $4 in unpaid taxes. 2. *It worsens the federal budget deficit*. The current estimate of unpaid taxes per year is almost as large as the federal government’s annual budget deficit. 3. *It widens inequality*. Since most IRS audits are of high-inc... more »

Krugman softens his tone on the white working class!
*TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 2017Rampell refuses to budge:* We were intrigued by a line near the end of Paul Krugman's column in yesterday's New York Times. "I don’t want to sound unsympathetic to miners and industrial workers," Krugman said at the start of his final paragraph. We were struck by that because we already thought he *did* sound a bit unsympathetic to Those People, the lesser breed. That doesn't mean that what he was saying in his column was "wrong." It means that he may have had just a bit of a tone. What did Krugman say in Monday's column? He seemed to say that "the public ... more »

"Maddest of All..."

*"Assessing Russia's Military Strength"* by Andrei Martyanov "There is a popular point of view in some of Russia’s political circles, especially among those who profess monarchist views and cling to a famous meme of 1913 Tsarist Russia development statistics, that WW I was started by Germany to forestall Russia’s industrial development which would inevitably challenge Germany’s plans on domination of Europe.
