Is The U.S. Intelligence Assessment That The Syrian Government Was Responsible For The Chemical Attack That Resulted In A U.S. Missile Attack On Thursday Correct?
Robert Parry, Consortium News: *Trump’s ‘Wag the Dog’ Moment* Just two days after news broke of an alleged poison-gas attack in northern Syria, President Trump brushed aside advice from some U.S. intelligence analysts doubting the Syrian regime’s guilt and launched a lethal retaliatory missile strike against a Syrian airfield. Trump immediately won plaudits from Official Washington, especially from neoconservatives who have been trying to wrestle control of his foreign policy away from his nationalist and personal advisers since the days after his surprise victory on Nov. 8.

Is Trump's Approval More Likely To Continue Collapsing Because He's Lazy And Ill-Prepared Or Because Of His Toxic Discombobulated Agenda?
Earlier today we looked at the blossoming civil war inside the White House.

EPA Reportedly Eliminates Program Helping Cities Deal With Climate Change
An unidentified official said that the issue should not be "controlled from inside Washington, D.C."
Most Americans don't know this, but the bylaws of the United Nations (aka the UN) state that any member state that attacks another for no good reason is regarded to be a WAR CRIME. The UN has enforced this rule in the case of all its members ...except the US, which has been granted a free ticket. Today the U.S. has drones bombing 7 countries, and in the past has killed or displaced millions of innocents. For a long time, Russia has tried to get along with the U.S. driving the Islamic State out of Syria. But now they realize that the U.S. has no intentions to do so. Therefore, because Russia was invited by Syria to protect against exterior attack THEY are NOT war criminals.

Syria: Trump's Bush-Obama WMD Remix
*April 8, 2017* (Ulson Gunnar - NEO) - The United States finds its increasingly clumsy, circular foreign policy looping back once again to accusations of "weapons of mass destruction" being inexplicably used against a civilian population, this time in Syria's northern city of Idlib currently serving as the defacto capital of terrorist organizations including various Al Qaeda affiliates, most notably the US State Department designated foreign terrorist organization, al-Nusrah Front. The allegations have already been used for a rushed US attack on Syrian forces, without any formal inv... more »
Found on Facebook Last Night
From Brent Terry: "If, as ABC News is reporting, the US warned Russia of the missile strike, and if, as it appears, Russia warned Syria, that leads to a very interesting possible conclusion. Consider the implications: Trump warns Putin, who warns Assad, which means the three of them were working in concert in what becomes not a military operation against a foreign enemy, but a staged event, a stunt, a piece of political theater. But to what end? The only thing I can think of is that it was an elaborate scheme to provide Trump with political cover at a time his entire preside... more »

monument to Rip Van Winkle (based on a story by Washington Irving) In the military, I learned to force sleep, and it's a trait that has been helpful to me ever since. Thus if I were to tell you that I'm going to shut down for an hour or so, you'd see me sound asleep in a minute or less. There is a type of Zen to the process. You can train yourself to do that, but most people don't want to put in the effort.

6 Scientific Discoveries That Laugh in the Face of Physics

From that single assumption i am able to imagine with mathematical rigor and the use of my metric published in AIP's Physics Essays, the whole of particle physics up to exact simulation. Thus my perception is radically informed and Modern Physics can be largely dismissed as Ptolemaic, however helpful it may be from an empi... more »
If the gravity at the center of the Earth is zero, why are heavy elements like iron there?
This is obviously a rather basic and important question and it has informed plenty of theorizing as this batch of answers show us. Best present guess is that the whole core is a large crystallized mass. Not likely even in terms of classical physics and long before i open up with the consequences of my Cloud Cosmology. Even with classical physics we need to conduct a thought experiment that imagines excluding a central core in order to facilitate calculations regarding fluid flow and rock behavior. We are presently doing just that while leaving gravity with the core itself. Supp... more »

Science works even when it is not trusted
There have been some topics in which Sabine Hossenfelder wrote sensible things recently – the Universe as a simulation is a top example – but she can't live without her anti-science whining which is why she wrote the diatribe titled Science needs reason to be trusted. As long as you have a vagina and you claim to be a scientist, PC journals like Nature will publish literally *anything* you submit, as this disturbing example shows. I don't want to discuss – or read – every sentence in this diatribe but it makes sense to pick a representative subcollection. First, the title says "Sc... more »

The EPA lied -- nobody died by Steve Milloy
For years Steve Milloy has challenged the EPA on its claims about how deadly small organic particulates are. His recent opinion piece to the Washington Times is most interesting. See here. Steve Milloy says: In April 2012, I broke the news that EPA had been quietly conducting human experiments with certain outdoor pollutants that EPA had claimed were, essentially, the most toxic substances on Earth. EPA had repeatedly claimed since at least 2004 that any level of inhalation of fine particulate matter emitted from smokestacks and tailpipes could cause death within hours or days. T... more »
