Energy poverty and the home truths MPs would rather ignore per The Conservative Woman
This is a fascinating article https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/energy-poverty-and-the-home-truths-mps-would-rather-ignore/ on a subject that the BBC won't touch with a bargepole. Here's a couple of long extracts: 'Why has the Government still not formally responded to the independent review that it commissioned into the cost of energy? Perhaps its findings are too damning. Staggeringly, the review found that the government has wasted the best part of £100billion on the decarbonisation of the power sector. That this is not more widely known is thanks to the cosy consensus that ex... more »

How Hitler Tried to Stack His Panzer Tanks to Stop Defeat (It Completely Failed)
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* A really bad idea. Even in the dark days of March 1945, when the Third Reich was on the brink of collapse, its troops managed to exhibit that grim humor that enables frontline soldiers to endure the horrors of battle. As the panzer crews of mighty Tiger II tanks rumbled forward in the last German offensive of World War II in eastern Hungary, they joked about the difficulties they were having coming to grips with the enemy. A few of the 68-ton King Tigers sank up to their turrets in the mud produced by an early spring thaw. Making ligh... more »
Russia's 5 Biggest Nuclear Bomb Tests Ever

Only 3 percent of the superpowers' stockpiles consisted of nuclear weapons with yields greater than four megatons, but those weapons more than any others symbolize the terror of nuclear war... more »

GOP Farm Bill Failed For Lots Of Reasons, But Few Have Anything To Do With Agriculture
Yesterday, ever single Democrat-- even the Blue Dogs-- voted against the GOP Farm Bill, Michael Conaway's Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018.

Like the late federal NDP leader Jack Layton, Horwath is casting herself as a happy warrior pitching hope, not fear or anger.

Gaza Massacre Exposes Western Hypocrisy on Russia’s ‘Annexation’ of Crimea
[image: undefined] This week, Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled a new 19-kilometer bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with mainland southern Russia. Thousands of kilometers away, in occupied Palestine, a massacre was being carried out by Israeli soldiers with full support of the United States as it opened a new embassy. The two events are not as disparate as one might think at first glance. They both involve “annexation” – one fictitious, the other very real. But Western hypocrisy inverts the reality.

*Reuters*: *Russia-Germany gas pipeline raises intelligence concerns: U.S. official* BERLIN (Reuters) - The planned Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany raises U.S. intelligence and military concerns since it would allow Moscow to place new listening and monitoring technology in the Baltic Sea, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.

A consortium of western companies and Russia’s Gazprom sa... more »
Gaza
*Gaza...* Fighter bombers... attack helicopters... tanks... heavy artillery... total economic blockade for 10 years, little food... water supplies bombed into ruin... electricity cut off except for 2 hours daily... hospitals deliberately bombed... schools deliberately bombed to ruins... no medical supplies... "mowing the grass" military invasions, thousands killed... snipers... assassinations... 2 million defenseless human beings trapped in this hell on earth, paid for by... *who*? Despite it all...

Will Patriotism Push America Into an Unconstitutional War?
*Mickey Edwards* *Security, Americas* [image: A U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bomber sits on the runway at Anderson Air Force Base, Guam July 18, 2017. U.S. Air Force/Airman 1st Class Christopher Quail/Handout/File Photo via REUTERS.] We cannot go to war on the whim of a single person and automatic obedience by well-meaning men and women who profess loyalty to a Constitution they don’t understand. Last week I had the good fortune to hear one of America’s leading military officers deliver a thoughtful and inspiring address to a small group—there were about fifty of us—of people who h... more »
This Stinger Missile Is Back
*Charlie Gao* *Security, North America* She might be old, but she is deadly. The FIM-92 Stinger surface-to-air missile has been a staple of America’s short-range air defense network since the 1970s. It also has been wildly successful on the export market, being used by almost every NATO country and U.S. ally. The U.S. Military is now upgrading their Stinger to the new FIM-92J and FIM-92K models to effectively counter all aerial threats in the near future. The J model includes substantial improvements in lethality, updated components to help extend the “shelf life” and decrease t... more »
South Korea Just Launched Its New 'Aircraft Carrier in Disguise'
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Asia* And it should have Kim Jong-un very worried. South Korea has launched its second amphibious assault ship.

The ceremony took place in Busan at the shipyard of Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction, the company that built the vessel. Among those in attendance were Defense Minister Song Young-moo and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Um Hyun-seong, according to local news outlets.

How an Old F-15 Just Might Kill Russia's New Stealth Su-57 in a 'Dogfight'
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, Europe* The old plane might soon be able to unstealth Moscow's latest figher. The venerable Boeing F-15C Eagle has long been hailed as the world’s greatest air superiority fighter given its lopsided combat record of 104 kills to zero losses, however, the aging jet is likely near the end of its operational life. Nonetheless, it remains a potent fighter even as it likely heads toward retirement. The U.S. Air Force is deferring planned upgrades to the Eagle—such as the addition of new electronic warfare systems—until it decides if it wants to keep the in...more »

Free Download: John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath"
"The Grapes of Wrath" (Excerpts) by John Steinbeck "They breathe profits; they eat the interest on money. If they don't get it, they die the way you die without air, without side-meat." [referring to the banks- CP] "The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it." "It ain't that big. The whole United States ain't that big. It ain't that big. It ain't big enough. There ain't room enough for you an' me, for your kind an' my kind, for rich and poor together all in one country, for thieves and honest men. For hunger and fat." ... more »

"The Risk..."
"Biology says that we are who we are from birth. That our DNA is set in stone. Unchangeable. Our DNA doesn't account for all of us though, we're human. Life changes us. We develop new traits. Become less territorial. We start competing. We learn from our mistakes. We face our greatest fears. For better or worse, we find ways to become more than our biology. The risk of course is that we can change too much to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Finding our way back can be difficult. There's no compass, no map. We just have to close our eyes, take a step, and hope to God w... more »
“The Great Filter: Are Humans About To Go Extinct?”
*“The Great Filter: * *Are Humans About To Go Extinct?”* by Daniel Carter "Humans have had a great ride. We’ve overcome vicious predators, drastic shifts in climate, diseases, large-scale warfare and many other things that would have put an end to lesser species. These days, life is so comfortable and sheltered for many of us that we often take the survival of our species for granted. However, as I will discuss in this article, there is a major risk of extinction on the horizon. Will we overcome this hurdle like we have overcome past hurdles, or will our species finally be filtered ... more »
Diluting Tritium and Dumping in the Pacific Ocean
The solution to pollution for polluters is DILUTION, as you can see in the article below, which describes approvingly efforts to discharge tritiated water from the Fukushima Daiichi disaster into the Pacific Ocean: William Steel ( 5/11/2018) Remediating Fukushima—“When everything goes to hell, you go back to basics” ArtsTechnica, https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/05/remediating-fukushima-when-everything-goes-to-hell-you-go-back-to-basics/ The ultimate plan for stored water is unknown; tritium has a half life of a dozen years, so physics won’t clean up the water for us.

Is The Road To A Senate Majority Thru Tennessee? Bredesen Is Much Better Than Kyrsten Sinema
Tennessee (R+14 PVI, worse than Texas, South Carolina, Kansas or Alaska) was a very Trumpy state in 2016. Trump beat Hillary 1,522,925 (60.7%) to 870,695 (34.7%) and won every one of Tennessee's 95 counties except Shelby (Memphis), Davidson (Nashville) and tiny Haywood, a black-majority rural agricultural county north of Memphis. So its hardly a state you'd think the Democrats would be targeting for a big Senate race. But they are. That's because the likely Republican candidate, Marsha Blackburn, is a crackpot extremist with a crackpot extremist record she can't run away from. And ... more »

President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and Russian President Vladimir Putin. © Mikhail Klementyev/Russian presidential press service/TASS *John Mueller, National Interest:* *The Price for Peace in Syria Is Cooperation with Assad* Two unpleasant propositions about the lengthy civil war in Syria have been substantially absent from current policy discussions. It seems time to bring them forward and to take them seriously. The first acknowledges that the forces of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad have pretty much won the war. As journalist Robin Wright noted recently, Assad has managed to... more »
