On Tesla gigafactory, WEF + Tesla fake news and video
The other day, I commented on this tweet by Vala Afshar re Tesla gigafactory in Nevada producing battery cells and e-cars. This portion particularly caught my attention because it cannot be true, it is fake news. If the wind does not blow, or the Sun does not shine (at night or in rainy/cloudy days), there will be massive blackout in that gigafactory. The source of that video is the WEF in this article dated 23 August 2017. People resort to public disinformation and deception just to advance their commercial interests and ecological-political ideology of more government intervent... more »

How Washington Lost Its Status as an Arab-Israeli Mediator
*Evan Gottesman* *Politics, Middle East* [image: A boy holds the Jordanian national flag during a protest near the U.S. Embassy in Amman] The Trump administration has abdicated Washington’s role as a responsible custodian for Arab-Israeli affairs. Much has been made of the immediate ramifications of President Trump’s Wednesday announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and initiating the relocation of the U.S. Embassy: namely, the specter of Palestinian violence in Israel and the occupied territories and implications for a future two-state solution. Yet, perhaps the m... more »
Why America's Nuclear Aircraft Carriers Need a Mission Adjustment
*Angus Ross, Andrew Savchenko* *Security, Asia* [image: The nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS John C.

Today, the centerpiece of the U.S. Navy is undoubtedly the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, a hugely expensive but immensely flexible asset that can turn its hands with some success to almost every naval role imaginable.
