BWorld 146, Mining and industrialization in Duterte SONA 2017
* This is my article in BusinessWorld on July 27, 2017. Aside from frequently cussing and cursing or threatening people with state-sponsored murders over his anti-drugs war, President Rodrigo R. Duterte (PRRD) is not exactly known for articulating policies on industrialization. But during the State of the Nation Address (SONA) this year, he was able to coherently explain his dreams for the country. “That is why I say that it is not enough that we mine this wealth. What is more important is that we convert the raw material thereof into finished products for international and local p... more »
GR=QM paper shows Susskind isn't a real co-father of ER=EPR
I have always appreciated that in comparison to other top physicists, Leonard Susskind was among those who deserved to be called heuristic thinkers, creative mavericks, talkers rather than calculators, and to a large extent, I have found this spirit inspiring. Susskind was always a role model for me. The number and diversity of ideas he helped to emerge from the darkness was amazing. Of course, as the well-known lore says, physics depends on the delicate balance between the hot, bold, philosophical speculations on one side; and the cold, hard, boring facts on the other. When this ba... more »
China and North Korea: unhappiest of allies

How a Wargame Proves a Conflict Between America and North Korea Would be Total Hell
*WarIsBoring* *Security, Asia* This should stop and make you think. In the past I wrote of my defeat at the hands of Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army Kim Jong Un and the North Korean People’s Army, and how I lost a nation with the world’s 12th largest economy to a backward state with fewer paved roads than Haiti. In a game called Next War: Korea, that is. Painful as that was, losing the Korean peninsula to totalitarianism taught me some surprising lessons, many of which run counter to conventional wisdom about a real war. Would these lessons apply to a real war in... more »

A Deep Dive on the Origins of Russia-gate

A coup is being run against President Trump, to prevent the possibility of US cooperation with the new paradigm sweeping the world, led by China's Belt and Road Initiative. British subversion of US policy is nothing new, and after the death of FDR, US policy has been increasingly co-opted by the British outlook.

Your Congressman Just Voted for War with Russia
On July 25, in a flagrantly unconstitutional action, the United States House of Representatives voted 419 to 3 to impose harsh sanctions against the nation of Russia. This action was followed two days later when the United States Senate voted 98 to 2 for the sanctions bill. This legislation imposes new sanctions, codifies existing penalties into law—including the harsh sanctions imposed by Barack Obama in 2016—and gives Congress veto power over any attempt by President Trump to remove or relax them. With these votes, the Congress has acted to effect an illegal seizure of the direc... more »

Soft Power Works
While Donald Trump was threatening North Korea with "fire and fury," Canada secured the release of one of its citizens -- Hyeon Soo Lim -- from the Hermit Kingdom. Michael Harris writes that Justin Trudeau could have torn a page out of Donald Trump's playbook: Trudeau could have jabbed back. He could have said that North Korea was being run by a dictator in training pants, a misguided, vicious child trying to ape the dubious accomplishments of his autocratic father and grandfather. He could have asked what else one could expect from someone who has his own people executed *with an... more »

Lion Rock 21, Dangers of Universal basic income (UBI) philosophy

The Economic Link Between China and North Korea
With the United Nations Security Council adopting the most recent round of sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), it was interesting to see that the People's Republic of China actually followed the majority, including the United States, voting in favour of sanctioning its own neighbour, a nation that it has stood behind for over six decades. With the recent vote in mind, I wanted to take a look at the relationship between the two nations and that rationale between China's ongoing support of the Kim regime.

When Jacob met James
News of James Chapman’s proposed new party, imaginatively called the Democrats, has been floating around for a day or so, but it was this morning’s performance on the Today Programme which set the www. buzzing.
