Gates and Zuckerberg Take Direct Aim at Children
Bill Gates began his purchased reforms of education policy and practices in 2000, and his repeated failures in this arena have not altered his determination to turn American schools into technology-dependent, business-modeled training camps, to turn American teachers into disposable contract middle managers who are laser-focused on the bottom line--test scores, and to convert children into eager culturally-sterilized recipients of the global economic mindset of personal sacrifice toward an eventual corporate reward. Of course, what I mean by "failure" needs some explaining, for not... more »

Iranian General Qassem Soleimani *Rohollah Faghihi, Al-Monitor*: *Iranians may turn to ‘military president’ as nuclear deal collapses* Ever since Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 US presidential election, Iranian hard-liners have been jubilant about his pledges to kill the nuclear deal — the signature achievement of moderate President Hassan Rouhani.

THE MICHAEL COHEN INFLUENCE-PEDDLING STORY WON'T MOVE THE PUBLIC OPINION NEEDLE
Michael Cohen might go to prison -- or need a presidential pardon to avoid going -- but his story, or at least this aspect of it, won't upset any American apart from those of us who already despise President Trump and his circle: Armed with the self-appointed title of “personal attorney” to the president, Mr. Cohen, who had served as a personal-injury lawyer and owned a taxi business, became seen as the man who could help others gain access to the seat of power.... Major corporations including AT&T, Novartis and the law firm Squire Patton Boggs collectively paid him over $2 million ... more »
Israel v Iran Update
Yesterday, I mentioned that Israel had begun to mobilize its Army Reserve. It's an indication of where they see the situation heading. Israeli jets attacked a second day. On 10 May, the Israeli military said that Israel is carrying out an attack on Iranian targets in Syria. Israel hopes to involve that US more directly in its clash with Iran and friendship notwithstanding and the movement of the US Embassy to Jerusalem notwithstanding, I hope that the US will resist becoming more directly involved with the present clash between Iran and Israel (funded by Barack's generous gift to Ir... more »
The World At The Roulette Table
The Iran Nuclear deal bears the official acronym JCPOA -- short for Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Donald Trump torpedoed JCPOA two days ago. The rationale for his decision, Jonathan Manthorpe writes, seems embarrassingly clear: The only rational explanation of Trump’s actions – if that is not an oxymoron – is that the JCPOA was a major foreign policy achievement of his predecessor, Barack Obama. Trump gives every indication of despising Obama, and of believing that his supporters want him to erase all evidence that a black man ever inhabited the Oval Office. His petty, we... more »

*Invest education dollars wisely* Teachers are striking for higher salaries and more resources again. Some say spending more on education is simply a matter of good economics, because better education means a stronger workforce. But given our nation’s track record — and the empirical evidence — I am not as optimistic. Public education spending in the U.S. has nearly tripled over the past half-century while math, reading and science test scores have remained flat. In fact, Stanford University economist Eric Hanushek reviewed nearly 400 studies on the subject and found that increas... more »

Efforts since then appear to have paid off, with experts forming a consensus that China’s air power is already capable of challenging that of the US in certain scenarios, in part thanks to indigenious missiles. Chief airpower specialist at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Douglas Barrie, noted recently that some of the new weapons bein...more »

BWorld 207, Fare control and surge cap are wrong
* This is my column in BusinessWorld last April 23, 2018. * “The consumers force all those engaged in production to comply with their orders…. It makes competition work. He who best serves the consumers profits most and accumulates riches.”* — Ludwig von Mises, Economic Freedom and Interventionism (1990). Market competition is good.

The professor signed off with a reminder of the so-called ‘open mic” incident which caught “Pres.... more »
Dutertenomics, GDP growth and inflation
Duterte and his Dutertenomists are deceptive. #TRAIN law alone has siphoned off more money from private pockets to government pockets esp the high oil tax, coal tax (round 1), sugar tax, etc. More tax revenues, more govt spending (13.8% growth) allowed higher Q1 2018 GDP growth of 6.8%. But look at household consumption, slowed down to 5.6%. And Dutertenomists are silent about the need to raise fares -- jeepney, taxi, UV express, buses, truckers, etc. Those fare hikes should be granted and see the impact on household consumption, impact on #inflation. And now this, $71/barrel, anoth... more »
Gina - Gina - Gina!
Acting CIA Director Gina Haspel scares Democrats. However they were fine with her back when she was DDCI (number two slot in the outfit). I find it all just a bit amusing. It was brilliant of President Trump to put forward the name of the ballziest, most experienced, and best placed woman in the CIA to be its first female director, poised to break the glass ceiling. Now the Democrats have to pick on a woman... Gina should quote Hillary just to punch back - but she won't.
Windover site with Rober Sepehr
Windover is one of the oldest sites at 9000 years. Most important though is that the DNA confirms that the population conformed to western Europe of the same era. Thus we have traffic leading to the populating of the Americas originally coming from Europe. A mid Atlantic ridge, a Grand Banks and a Bahama bank all above sea level could have made this work. Throw in early sea navigation along the natural great circle route of the gulf stream and the European coast and it works.
Secrets of Stone Age Jade Axes Revealed in Scotland
It is interesting that jade was used both sides of the Atlantic during the time periods involved as was actual trade. Yet it surely was a luxury item only. What we do have here is massive confirmation that stone axes were heavily used. That also makes sense since it is easy to get an edge on most crystalline rocks and using that to cut wood is simple enough. Recall that we also produced sickles as well and that is not nearly so easy or obvious. Jade was a sale of craftsmanship mostly. I could make a brass sword or bronze sword, but i would never really test it.. . *... more »

Vrill Antarctic with Sepehr
We have discussed this narrative in the past and lacked a lot of critical details. This video fills a lot of that in. A few things become clear. The big one is that the Byrd expedition was forcibly removed with serious losses.

Ongoing American silence has never helped at all as it is obvious they want the public to merely forget. They just could not completely hide the seriousness of the rebuff.

On the same day (Monday), that Melania Trump was announcing her effort to improve the health of children at the same time her insane husband was announcing the removal of $7 to $15 Billion from the Children's Insurance Fund, Señor Trumpanzee's White Supremacist Attorney General Jeff Sessions was out in California proudly announcing a sadistic new policy of needlessly ripping immigrant babies from their mother's arms. Were the actions of Trumpanzee and Sessions a deliberate attempt to humiliate Melania Trump? Y... more »

Israel says
*Israel attacks Iranian military positions in Syria! * Did you wake up this morning to John Humphrys announcing excitedly that Israel has struck Iranian military bases in Syria?……………… after an Iranian attack on the Golan?

As usual, it comes under the category “Israel says”. *Iran attacks Israel. *(Israel says) “Israel's military says Iranian force... more »

Chronological sins in the bulk
A week ago, I discussed an Indian paper criticizing the fuzzballs but I neglected a very interesting yet much shorter, 5-page-long paper On the interior geometry of a typical black hole microstate by de Boer, van Breukelen, Lokhande, K. Papadodimas, and Erik Verlinde. I've had some interesting exchanges with Kyriakos. What they do is to try the counterpart of Gao-Jafferis-Wall – but in the case of one CFT only. Two years ago, Gao-Jafferis-Wall considered an AdS-based BTZ black hole with two sides, two identical CFTs sit on the boundary, and they deform their Hamiltonian by a "couple... more »
