Why Imperial Washington Should Cool it On North Korea
David Stockman at - 15 hours ago

The threat of nuclear war has again sharply escalated owing to North
Korea’s apparent successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile
(ICBM), albeit one that traveled only 600 miles, not the 6,000 miles needed
to reach California.
Likewise, it was only a two-stage ICBM not the three-stages needed for
extended range delivery. And there was no testing at all of the missile’s
capacity to drop a guided warhead through the intense heat of reentry
without burning up.
Nor did this week’s test involve any evidence that the clunky A-bombs

The story swiftly drew attention from other Western newspapers and
eventually the U.S. government, because if Soviet factories were producing
biological weapons, they were doing so in contravention of the 1972
Biological Weapons Convention.
Not so, Moscow swiftly retorted. Yes, an outbreak *had* killed dozens in... more »

Kolbrin - Book of the Sons of Fire Chpt 5 - Laws of Amos
Herein appears a body of sensible laws not overtly blood thirsty. It also
reminds us that many so called ritual deaths are nothing of the sort. They
are mandated executions.
As we might expect, these laws are well thought out as they will have been
tested for generations.
Thus it is all part of human common law with the same limitations and
concerns we experience today and never quite perfect and still subject to
the whims of a judge..

Antisemitic hate preacher permitted to enter the UK for Palestine Expo despite CAA warning the Home Office per Campaign Against Antisemitism
'In a speech delivered by Ebrahaim Bham on the "Middle East" and posted on
the website "Lectures by Sheikh Ebrahim Bham", he said that: "People tell
me that Jews are human beings. Yes, I know they are human beings. Just as
fleas are also animals. Just as fleas are also animals, they are also part
of human beings like that."
Those words, he then says, explain Israelis today: "Using that example, the

The new kindergarten Australis and the pedagogy of modal constructivism. An education for the future.
Ethical Technology - 20 hours ago
This work and proposal emerged under my experience during five years
working with children in school Reggio Emilia in Chile, as a teacher of
art. My studies were not limited to teaching and experiencing the
constructivist experiences with children and create art lesson plans.
During this stage in the artistic teaching with young children I began to
investigate the pedagogical education and how it could develop and deepen
the curriculum or child pedagogy from the cultural point of view and from a
contemporary perspective. After collect, study and investigate until I

Confessions of a BBC Editor
Ian Katz
From Ian Katz's *Spectator *piece
Call me cynical, but I did wonder what on earth provoked *Newsnight *editor
Ian Katz into writing such a 'humble' piece for *The Spectator*?
Was it a result of panic provoked by the hugely negative reaction to his
arrogant car-crash interview on *Newswatch* last week, combined perhaps
with the realisation that far too many people were reading Evan Davis's
admission that 'people who are making programmes' at the BBC couldn't care
less about complaints about political bias as meaning that *he*, Ian Katz,

Selective hearing?
Rob Burley
Rob Burley, the editor of *The Andrew Marr Show*, has been interviewed by *The
Huffington Post*, mainly about his weekly engagement with Twitter critics
over allegations of BBC bias - an engagement with licence-fee payers we've
praised here before (and long before the *Huff Post *jumped on the
bandwagon!).
Something that stood out for me from this interview is the following:
,
The treatment of supporters of Jeremy Corbyn is one of the very few areas
where BBC editors seem willing to admit to bias *and* to try to make
amends. If you recall, Katy Searle, Editor of BBC Po... more »

It's tough being a diplomat when nobody talks to you. It's even worse when
they aren't talking to you because they don't think you matter anymore.
When he was just a candidate, Donald Trump declared in his first major
speech on the issue that "our foreign policy is a complete and total
disaster". His solution was to replace it with a slogan: America First.
What he hasn't replaced, now that he is president, are the people n... more »

Why in the World Does Turkey Want an Aircraft Carrier?
*Paul Iddon*
*Security, *
Light flattop serves regional ambitions.
Upon overseeing the launch of a domestically-built corvette in July 2017,
Turkish Pres. Recep Tayyip Erdogan voiced his country’s goal of building “our
own aircraft carriers” as part of Ankara’s efforts to “become independent
in the field of defense by 2023.”
“We must move even faster,” Erdogan declared. “We are proud of our ability
to build military ships, especially construction of submarines.”
