From the Philippines to Myanmar: US to Fight US-Saudi Sponsored Terrorism
*September 8, 2017* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - With the recent attack on police in Myanmar by terrorists described by Reuters as "Muslim insurgents," and ongoing terrorism plaguing the Philippines where forces are engaged with militants from the so-called "Islamic State," it would appear that terrorism has spread into Southeast Asia with no signs of waning. However, the sudden uptick in violence comes at a time when America's so-called "pivot to Asia" has ground to a complete halt, providing the United States with an all-too-convenient pretext to reengage and establish itself acr... more »

Hillary Storms Onward
Poor Hillary Clinton can't catch a break. Just when she was all set to claim entitlement to saturation media coverage of the latest version of her life, a hurricane named Irma is sucking it all up instead. Irma even has the nerve to totally crush Florida, which Hillary also memorably lost to her favorite stalker, Donald J. Trump. Didn't Irma get the message that there's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women? So Irma is either a Bernie-bro, a Putin troll, a James Comey FBI entrapment schemer, an Anthony Weiner sexting partner, or a Wikileaks dumpster fire th... more »

Is the BBC a lost cause?
As regular readers might know (or guess) I am a big fan of Harry’s Place. I only lurk, because I made it a rule not to acquire an online presence by commenting here, there and everywhere. I might do that when I give up this blog. Also, I’m too much of a wimp to create a load of sock-puppets and creative IDs and pretend they’re not me. What I particularly like about H.P. is the palpable sense of ‘family’ below the line, which I think is pretty unique in the blogosphere. I’m not saying I approve of the the vitriol, which can spring up all of a sudden for no obvious reason. It’s colour... more »

Does Japan Want to Be a Nuclear Power?
*Richard A. Bitzinger* *Security, Asia* Building the bomb is the easy part. “Does Trump want a nuclear Japan?” reads the headline on a recent op-ed in The Wall Street Journal. The article, authored by noted academic Walter Russell Mead, argues that an “American retreat from the Pacific” – caused by a vacillating Trump administration with a less-than-sterling security commitment to Asia – could lead Japan to conclude that “going nuclear” might be its best recourse. And in good ol’-fashioned domino fashion, South Korea and Taiwan might follow suit. Mead argues that some in the adm... more »

LaRouche: Don't Discuss it—Just DO it!

This was the original "LaRouche Plan" for peace in the Korean Peninsula, which worked until the day in 2002 that it was sabotaged through "outside forces" working with then-Vice President Cheney, and afterwards President Obama.

This guy went through a great deal of trouble to prove that Donald Trump lied his ass off about the size of the crowd at his Phoenix rally. It really deserves your attention.
(Hint: The music is really obnoxious, especially this early in the morning, but if you mute it you can still enjoy the video.) I think at this point we are all more or less numb to the fact that Donald Trump lies like a three yer old who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but still it is good to remind ourselves just how far Trump is willing to go to trick the media and the American people. (H/T to Democratic Underground.)
This Weapon Can Penetrate A Hardened Bunker That Is Hundreds Of Feet Under The Earth
Like lawn darts, but with global repercussions *We Are The Mighty*: *These Air Force 'rods from god' could hit with the force of a nuclear weapon* The 107-country Outer Space Treaty signed in 1967 prohibits nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons from being placed or used from Earth’s orbit. What they didn’t count on was the U.S. Air Force’s most simple weapon ever: a tungsten rod that could hit a city with the explosive power of an intercontinental ballistic missile. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. used what they called “Lazy Dog” bombs. These were simply solid steel pieces, le... more »

Five Ways of Proving God's Existence
In *Medieval Philosophy: An Introduction*, Frederick Charles Copleston offers a precise account of Thomas Aquinas's five ways of proving the existence of God. Here's an excerpt from Chapter 6, "St. Thomas Aquinas": "Aquinas, in the *Summa Theologica*, gives five ways of proving God's existence. First he argues from the fact of motion (which does not mean simply locomotion, but, as with Aristotle, the reduction of potentiality to act) to the existence of a first mover. This argument is based on Aristotle's argument in the *Metaphysics*. Secondly, he argues that there must be a first... more »

Why The Native American Tribes NEVER Watch Eclipses
I am a long ways from taking much of this seriously, however, it is also true that a flux of dark matter flows through the earth at all times originating from the sun. If there is also an inner sun acting as a lens or even a block, then it becomes plausible that the ellipse may affect us. The risk appears low, but it is also unknown. It is certainly not obvious and we must assume that native instruction is spiritual in source. What is true is that our Cloud Cosmology removes it from the realm of the inconceivable to a real possibility to consider. Even there i do think you ha... more »

North Korea will launch another ICBM this weekend. I'm not sure whether or not they'll shoot it over Japan. The last time they did that, nothing happened to them, so why not? They'll keep pushing the envelope, confident that the US is fearful of doing anything to them. They hold the South Korean population hostage to their actions. Chinese leaders still have not acknowledged the legitimacy of the North Korean missile threat to South Korea and its need for anti-missile defenses. While most international attention has focused on the North’s long-range missiles, the threat to South Kor... more »
