"How The Elite Dominate The World – Part 5: The Endgame Is Complete And Utter Global Domination"
*"How The Elite Dominate The World – Part 5: * *The Endgame Is Complete And Utter Global Domination"* by Michael Snyder Do you want your children and grandchildren to grow up in a global socialist “utopia” in which everything about their lives is micromanaged by bureaucrats working for a worldwide system of government instituted by the elite? To many of you this may sound like something out of a futuristic science fiction novel, but the truth is that this is exactly where the elite want to take us. This is their endgame. Their agenda has been quietly moving forward for decades, and ... more »

Speculation Grows That China May Attempt To Take Taiwan By Force
*Asia Times*: *Speculation rife as to whether Xi aims to ‘recapture’ Taiwan* As cross-strait relations deteriorate, China's strongman leader may be tempted to make China's reunification by military force part of his legacy. Over the last year or so, Beijing has apparently ratcheted up its military muscle-flexing in response to Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen’s seeming disregard for the “1992 consensus,” an oral understanding that both sides belong to “one China.” The mutual cross-strait rapport enjoyed during Ma Ying-jeou’s time in office in Taipei is long gone, and in its place h... more »
Being Happy
Last night I read a post off on a tangent by Jo Confino (at *HuffPo*), Environmental Destruction, Inequality And Loneliness. Why Capitalism Is Broken. Confino's piece is barely even about politics or policy at all. It's more important. He starts with a 1922 note that Albert Einstein scribbled on a piece of Imperial Hotel Tokyo stationery for a Japanese courier: "A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest." I thought about what Einstein was getting at when I spoke with an out-of-the-box young candidate, Michael Kotick, from Orange Co... more »

Israel Is a Military Superpower for One Simple Reason: 'Underwater' Nuclear Weapons
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* Israel’s sea-based nuclear deterrent is here to stay. Israel’s submarine corps is a tiny force with a big open secret: in all likelihood, it is armed with nuclear weapons. The five Dolphin-class submarines represent an ace in the hole for Israel, the ultimate guarantor of the country’s security, ensuring that if attacked with nukes, the tiny nation can strike back in kind. Israel’s first nuclear weapons were completed by the early 1970s, and deployed among both free-fall aircraft bombs and Jericho ballistic missiles. The 1991 Persian Gulf ... more »

Why Russia, China and North Korea Should Fear America's B-21 Bomber
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * This is everything we know about it—so far. On October 27, 2015, nearly thirty-four years to the day after Northrop Grumman was awarded the contract to develop the first stealth bomber, the U.S. Air Force awarded Northrop a contract for a new bomber: the B-21 Raider. While many of the details of the Raider are shrouded in mystery, we do know a few things about it, and can infer others. The B-21 Raider bomber takes its name from both the twenty-first century and the legendary 1942 raid by Gen. James “Jimmy” Doolittle’s force of B-25 Mitchell bombers a... more »

*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* But it never happenned. Why? In January 1936 Japan announced its intention to withdraw from the London Naval Treaty, accusing both the United States and the United Kingdom of negotiating in bad faith. The Japanese sought formal equality in naval construction limits, something that the Western powers would not give. In the wake of this withdrawal, Japanese battleship architects threw themselves into the design of new vessels. The first class to emerge were the 18.1-inch-gun-carrying Yamatos, the largest battleships ever constructed. However, the Y... more »
