An officer went house to house interviewing families for tips on insurgents. Two young boys were taken in as a result. In most of the city these are the type of clearing operations that the ISF is doing. That’s also the reason why the Golden Division allowed this story, because it goes along with the narrative... more »

The U.S. Air Force Wants to Expand the Range of This Stealthy Cruise Missiles
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Thanks to Russia and China. With advanced air defense systems such as the Russian-made S-300 and S-400 families proliferating around the world, it is becoming increasingly difficult for American airpower to penetrate into airspace defended by such anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) weapons. While advanced fifth-generation fighter aircraft and next-generation platforms such as the U.S. Air Force’s forthcoming Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider and Penetrating Counter Air (PCA) will be able to operate inside such heavily defended airspace, the bulk of America’... more »
The Real Reason You Should See Dunkirk: Hitler Lost World War II There
*Michael Peck* *Security, * A battle for the ages. *A British writer whose father fought at Dunkirk wrote that the British public was under no illusions. “If there was a Dunkirk spirit, it was because people understood perfectly well the full significance of the defeat but, in a rather British way, saw no point in dwelling on it. We were now alone. We’d pull through in the end. But it might be a long, grim wait…”* *Their patience and endurance were rewarded on May 8, 1945, when Nazi Germany surrendered.* War movies tend to depict the battles a nation wins—not the ones it loses... more »

*Lying as a Way of Life: Corruption and Collectivism Come of Age in America * *Alexandra York* *Futurenow Press (May 2016) * Why did the mainstream media fail to predict that Donald Trump was going to win the 2016 presidential election?

Foxconn aims to break the bank
While the head of the illegitimate Trump regime makes multiple headlines telling the *New York Times* that he is above the law, we have to remember that there are plenty of other issues of concern to the middle class.

4 Completely Different Versions of the Story of Moses
What really comes home is that the story of Moses was seriously popular and surely this must be from the promotion efforts of Herod the Great in the decades before the birth of Jesus. This produced a market for other versions and the clear association with the ruling family getting into the mix. This myth making all took place 1500 years after any of the events and several hundred years since the Hebrews put their founding story together after Babylon and all done during an era in which the Jews were distributed throughout the roman empire.

New DNA Study Suggests African Humans Interbred With European Neanderthals Way Earlier Than We Think
[image: New DNA Study Suggests African Humans Interbred With European Neanderthals Way Earlier Than We Think] We need to assume that hunting bands from many lineages distributed themselves through all of Eurasia depending mostly on adaptation to the climate. Mobility was never an issue. It only got interesting when large tribes or villages became possible. This allowed a territory supporting n hunting bands of say two dozen individuals at best to suddenly face some of their number to jump in size to around 120 or so.

U.N.'s 17 sustainable goals by 2030: what the youth gets brainwashed with

Can Trump use the presidential pardon to thwart the Russia investigations?

Speculation is mounting that President Donald Trump could issue a pardon to members of his family and close associates who are suspected of colluding with Russia in the 2016 campaign. Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, recently cautioned about “the possibility of presidential pardons in this process.” The June 2016 meeting of Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner and Russian go-betweens promising dirt about Hillary Clinton raises the specter of criminal liability under campaign finance laws.

The Forgotten Weapon That Helped the Allies Win World War II
*Warfare History Network* *History, * The Universal Carrier was used by every Allied army in every single theater of the war. The origins of the Universal Carrier can be traced to the Ford T-powered Carden-Loyd machines developed in Great Britain in the mid-1920s, specifically the Mark VI model of 1927. When Carden-Loyd merged with Vickers-Armstrongs in 1928 the small machine-gun carrier—cramped, lightly protected, unreliable but cheap to produce—became a major component of the British Army. In 1934 Vickers-Armstrong launched a new model carrier designated the D50. The body was... more »

Dueling Polls?

In 2000, George W Bush-- like Trump-- lost the popular vote and in 2004 he won by 2 points.
