Retrospective
I must admit that I've found it hard to write anything this week, especially since Muslim terrorists targeted girls and young women enjoying a pop concert in Manchester. Four of my friends at work (all female) were at the Manchester Arena in the days immediately before the attack, watching their beloved Take That. They and their families have, therefore, had quite a week themselves, wondering 'What if?'. What on earth could *I *add to *that*, especially as I had absolutely nothing new or helpful to say? The apparently random targeting of an Ariana Grande concert was hard to make... more »

Nehlen's Not Going To Nail Ryan In 2018 But There Is A Candidate Who Will
Far right Trump-worshipping crackpot Paul Nehlen wants a rematch. He's challenging Paul Ryan in Ryan's southeast Wisconsin congressional district to a primary battle again. In 2016 Nehlen put up $62,766 of his own and raised another $1,379,852 in a clash with Ryan. Nehlen was the Breitbart candidate and had very vocal support from Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and Phyllis Schlafly. That kind of lunatic fringe support may help account for Ryan crushing him with 57,364 votes (84.1%) to Nehlen's 10,864 (15.9%). In 2018 Ryan will be vulnerable to a solid Democratic challenge.

The One Big Reason Russia Might Lose a War Against America
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * And Putin can thank Syria for this. An air campaign requires a sprawling, complicated supply chain. Fire enough missiles and drop enough bombs, which require a heavy investment in materials and chemicals, and there will come a point when the logistics trail starts to strain. Nearly 20 months into Russia’s intervention in Syria’s civil war, the strain is starting to show. Russia has heavily relied on airpower to support Syrian dictator Bashar Al Assad. At times, the Russian air force has dropped bombs at a faster pace than the United States in Sy... more »
This Is Why the World Should Fear India's Nuclear Weapons
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * It’s not huge, but it’s getting more capable. India, the world’s most populous democracy, occupies a unique strategic position flanked by powerful adversaries. As a result, its 1.3 billion people are guarded by an arsenal of approximately one hundred nuclear weapons deployed on land, at sea and in the air. Despite its status as a Cold War holdout, the country was forced to develop its own nuclear weapons. India’s nuclear program dates back to 1948, just one year after independence.

The Deep State is the State
By Ron Jacobs The deep state is not some enigmatic entity that operates outside the US government. It is the US state itself. Like all elements of that state, the so-called deep state exists to enforce the economic supremacy of US capitalism. It does so primarily via the secret domestic and international police forces like the FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies. The operations of these agencies run the gamut from surveillance to propaganda to covert and overt military actions. Naturally, this so-called deep state operates according to their own rules; rules which ultima... more »

German magazine Der Spiegel tells the unvarnished truth about Donald Trump. Update!
Courtesy of Der Spiegel: *Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. He does not possess the requisite intellect and does not understand the significance of the office he holds nor the tasks associated with it. He doesn't read. He doesn't bother to peruse important files and intelligence reports and knows little about the issues that he has identified as his priorities. His decisions are capricious and they are delivered in the form of tyrannical decrees.* *He is a man free of morals. As has been demonstrated hundreds of times, he is a liar, a racist and a chea... more »

It is clearly intelligent, retains mind to mind communication and is seriously over engineered for its environment just as we are. We need to develop tools for them. they can use them.

Astronomers discover musical link to survival of newly discovered solar system
As i posted before these systems generate a metric based on the number of vertices including the star. That metric then generates a natural identity that the system converges back to in the face of any small disturbance. It obviously looks like resonance but is integral to the whole system and is the natural stable solution available. All multi body systems will exhibit this characteristic. Please reference my paper in Physics Essays (AIP) june 2010 to understand nth ordered metrics or nth ordered Pythagoreans. . *Astronomers discover musical link to survival of newly discover... more »
Alcohol Consumption and Demonic Possession

Kolbrin - The Book of Gleanings - Chpt 17 - Song of the Soul
What we have is is amazing. It is a reflection of the soul or even the spirit body. My own contemplation have led me to separate soul from spirit and also to understand soul as design, blueprint or master plan which we also strive to tweak by asking the key question 'is this good'. More rigorously we are addressing the critical sixth operator implied in natural symbolic logic which addresses the validity of the other operators in their action of converting domain to range. We simply ask if the outcome is good or true. All this presages GOD. That this has ever been written at... more »

Jeremy Corbyn lies "I never met the IRA"
https://youtu.be/Tj_I3Qs8nbs at around 1:00 As Guido Fawkes reminds us: Tonight Jeremy Corbyn told Andrew Neil: "I never met the IRA". Seriously? In 1984, two weeks after the Brighton bombing, Corbyn invited two members of the Provisional IRA, Linda Quigley and Gerard McLoughlin, to parliament. MacLochlainn was a close friend of Corbyn. In 1981 he served two and a half years in jail for conspiracy to cause explosions. According to a report in the Sinn Fein/IRA newspaper An Phoblacht, in 2000 Corbyn shared a platform with Brendan McKenna at an event commemorating Bloody Sunday. ... more »
Will we continue an Enlightenment Civilization… or return to Feudalism?
Ethical Technology - 21 hours ago
Seventy years of Pax Americana and a rising enlightenment civilization, based on science and fact and at least somewhat-mature argument, were never easy to maintain. Another seventy and we’d likely stabilize into something truly amazing and grownup—perhaps able to solve the Fermi Paradox, by heading out into the galaxy.
Russia's Next U.S. Ambassador Will Be Anatoly Antonov.
Anatoly Antonov, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation (Wikipedia) *Al-Monitor*: *Russia picks 'bull terrier' as new ambassador to US* Fresh people and ideas are badly needed as Russia seeks to bridge the gap between Moscow and Washington, amid a tide of highly polarized information. The person who is supposed to be Russia’s key facilitator in the process — Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak — has been in that position since 2008. During that time, Kislyak took the heat for Russia’s most bitter foreign policy crises — the war in Georgia in 2008, the war i... more »

How Argentina Tried to Build a Nazi Jet Fighter
*Michael Peck* *Security, Americas* Hitler’s dream to Peron’s reality? After World War II, Argentina gained a reputation for taking in characters with checkered pasts. Not only was it a haven for Nazis fleeing justice, but it turns out that Argentina turned to Reich scientists and French traitors to build a jet fighter in the 1940s based on a design originally intended for Hitler’s Luftwaffe.

Russia is Bringing Back Its World War II 'Shock Armies'
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Moscow is merely using the glories and heroism of the Red Army of the Great Patriotic War to motivate its soldiers of today. During World War II, one of the weapons that the Soviet Union employed to destroy Nazi Germany was the “Shock Army.” These were reinforced army-sized formations used to tear holes in the German lines for Soviet tanks to exploit. Now Russia plans to bring back Shock units. Yet lest anyone fear this is a prelude to a Russian blitz of Ukraine or the Baltic states, the title “Shock” will be an honorific reward for units that perform... more »

Lessons From Montana’s Special Election Of May 25

The Democratic establishment’s small and late funding of progressive nominees slows and reduces the pressure on Republicans. 5. Montana Democratic nominee Rob Quist deserves our thanks ... more »
