The Future of Free Speech - and Privacy
In an era when we have "weaponized narrative" and open warfare against every single knowledge or fact-based profession, my role as "Mr. Transparency" has mutated into fighting for the very concept of objective reality.

Trump's Super Fake Syria News: More US Attacks Expected
Last night the White House released a shock statement that the Syrian government was about to use chemical weapons "again" on its citizens and that the United States would launch a massive response. At the time, the AP reported that neither the State Department nor the Pentagon or intelligence agencies seemed to know anything about it. US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley warned that any attack on citizens of Syria would be automatically blamed on Assad (as well as Russia and Iran). It seems Trump is ready for a massive attack on the Syrian government -- coincidentally just a day afte... more »
Trump's Reckless Syria Folly
[image: undefined] Last year on the campaign trail, crowds roared when Donald Trump denounced his opponent as "trigger-happy" Hillary. But President Trump is rapidly incarnating the vice he condemned. Nowhere is this more evident than in Syria, where Trump’s recklessness risks dragging America into a major war. US policy toward Syria has been a tangle of absurdities since 2012. President Obama promised 16 times that he would never put US "boots on the ground" in the four-sided Syrian civil war. He quietly abandoned that pledge and, starting in 2014, launched more more than 5,000 air... more »
Against An Air Force Space Corps: Space Belongs to the Navy!

They are absolutely correct in doing so, since the Air Force lacks the particular mentality and expertise necessary for what are clearly* naval* operations. Sustained operations in space resemble operations at sea. Diversely specialized sailors crew forward deployed ships, conducting ... more »

4 ways the Supreme Court could rule on Trump's travel ban

The Scary Story of How Two of the World's Most Powerful Nuclear Missile Subs Collided
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * It could have been a real tragedy. *The **Triomphant*-*Vanguard* collision suggests that what seemed extraordinarily unlikely event—a collision between nuclear submarines in the middle of the ocean doing their best to remain discrete—may not be so in fact. Sharing more data between allies to mitigate the risks of future collisions would likely enhance, not weaken, the security of both those submarines and the nations they defend. Late at night on February 3, 2009 the crew of the French nuclear submarine *Triomphant*, experienced something of a sh... more »
It Is Now Trump’s Job to Protect U.S. Elections
*Christopher A. Preble* *Security, Americas* Fake news is a problem, yes, but so is a president who does nothing to stop it. The blockbuster *Washington Post* story detailing the Obama administration’s reaction to Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election continues to make news. There is now clear and convincing evidence of a concerted Russian effort to influence the 2016 presidential election. The story concentrates on President Obama’s actions. We should also ponder what President Trump would have done differently. Much of the chatter has focused on an unnamed senior ... more »

Will China Provide Sanctuary to North Korean Submarines?
*Peter J. Brown* *Security, * North Korea has one of the world's largest fleets of submarines. As Washington, Seoul and Tokyo fret about North Korea’s repeated firing of ballistic missiles into the skies of Northeast Asia, another part of Pyongyang’s arsenal has gone largely unnoticed because it’s under the ocean: Submarines. Of course, submarines aren’t supposed to be noticed, which is what can make them such an effective stealth weapon. North Korea does possesses a substantial underwater force, according to Terence Roehrig, professor of national security affairs and director o... more »

Is TrumpCare Toxic Enough To Help Tom Guild Win The Oklahoma City Congressional Seat?
One of the states the DCCC isn’t looking at at all for 2018 is red, red Oklahoma. Trump won there, overwhelmingly 949,136 (65.3%) to 420,375 (28.9%). It was one of Trump’s best performances anywhere-- although that probably had more to do with the dislike many Okalhomans have for Hillary. Bernie beat her in the primary 174,228 (51.9%) to 139,443 (41.5%). And Trump came in a distant second in the GOP primary that same day, winning just 130,267 votes (28.32%), far fewer votes than Bernie got. Bernie’s message resonated with a lot of voters in "red, red Oklahoma." Trump’s weakest are... more »
