In June 2015, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko famously requested exactly 1,240 Javelin missiles—one for every former Soviet nuclear warhead that Ukraine voluntarily decommissioned in the 1990s. The former Soviet state was ruing its lack of deterrence after Russian tanks and artillery intervened in on behalf of a separatist uprising in eastern Ukraine. The infrared-guided Javelin is a fire-and-forget portable antitank weapon whose export is strictly controlled by the United States. Finally, in December 2017, the State Depa... more »

“Thank You, Mr President”
*“Thank You, Mr President”* by Bill Bonner "We owe Donald Trump a hearty and sincere ‘thank you’. Not only did he save us a lot of money…but he also helped us better understand how government actually works. What ‘The Donald’ understood better than the professional politicians was that democratic politics is basically a form of entertainment. It’s a sordid part of show biz - all hocus pocus…suspension of disbelief…and performance art - closer to nude mud wrestling than The Crown. *Big dog: *The press still doesn’t get it.

Powering up: The biggest battery breakthroughs of 2017
[image: A researcher in Australia holds up a rechargeable zinc-air battery] Slowly but surely battery technology is improving wonderfully. As I have posted before it has the ability to ultimately change out our grid by the simple expedient of powering up at source and physically transporting charged batteries to the market, now including houses and cars. This naturally increase the utilization of all power-plants by two to four fold. We could switch out gasoline to electrics and not build a single power plant. This is also largely in motion. There are plenty of alternative power ... more »
Avoid Mammograms like the Plague
The bottom line is that this tech was sold on the basis of a plausible advantage and it now turns out that the original work that supported this was not so much wrong as optimistic. The meta stats tell us it is no help at all. Yet it took many years of data to prove this. Many of our protocols that we rely on will fail the same test and history is littered with formally popular systems long since abandoned as ineffective. . *Avoid Mammograms like the Plague* *Published on December 8, 2017* *http://drsircus.com/general/avoid-mammograms-like-plague/?* *The truth is mammogr... more »
Celebrating the First Days of Winter
The good news is we now know how to actually maximise agriculture in the tropicsif it becomes necessary to abandon a lot of northern farmland, although it should not come to that. The real take home is that sound theoretical work has easily predicted this onset which has actually been brewing for the past several years as the last heat and feedback effects from the 1998 peak is spent. Thus a sharp loss in solar energy will be more damaging than expected and we are seeing that happening now.
