Weapons industry appetite for taxpayer $$$ is endless
- The Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space has been saying for the past 26 years that the nuclear industry views space as a new market. They've long envisioned nuclear-powered mining colonies on the Moon, Mars and destinations beyond. The announcement by NASA of a new nuclear reactor power system that could enable long-duration space colonies only confirms our worst fears. Accidents at, or soon after, launch with nuclear payloads would endanger our fragile Earth environment. But even more troubling is the history of Department of Ener... more »

Most Days McCain Is Drinking A Tall Glass Of Absolut Elyx On Ice
I hope McCain just keeps hanging on and on and on and one day the Trump klan can to decide if they will invite him to Señor T's funeral or not.

"No just cause is futile, even if it's lost, if it helps make the future better than the past" I wish McCain had been as independent in the Senate as the legend he's always cultivated was.

Anti-Catholic bigotry is alive and flourishing with the self-proclaimed "Bible believing Christians"...
*and it's ludicrous.* I wasn't going to comment on this, but it's been weighing heavy on my heart since yesterday. Not because I'm surprised (okay - I *am* a little surprised), but because it saddens me to see good conservative people display such unwillingness to access the truth. A few days ago, Bill Finlay aka "Wild Bill for America", a man who I've followed and admired, posted a meme on his Facebook page that said: *SHOULD BASIC BIBLE KNOWLEDGE BE REQUIRED TO BE POPE?* Uh oh! I pretty much knew what would follow. I was right. The usual nonsense about what Catholic's believe... more »

Amazon reviews by scientists?
The Washington Post reports: Last month, John Birch left a four-star review on Amazon for a tea strainer, which his son had purchased to separate ants for a zoology experiment. No big deal. The review sat quietly on the site until this week, when other scientists found it, shared it and instantly started a Twitter trend.

The NSA Continues to Abuse Americans by Intercepting Their Telephone Calls

Ayatollah Sistani Makes Statement On Iraq’s 2018 Election But Will It Matter?
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani finally released his much anticipated statement on Iraq’s May 2018 elections. He talked about not supporting the establishment politicians who had not served the interests of the Iraqi public. He played no favorites and did not call out any specific parties or individuals, which could have been anticipated as Sistani did not want to be caught up in partisan politics. At the same time, that allowed many of the Iraqi lists to claim they supported the Ayatollah’s statement even though it was aimed at them. May 4, Sistani’s representative in Najaf delive...more »

Displacing over 80000 tons, with a nuclear power plant, the Ulyanovsk were the first real Soviet competitors to the American supercarriers.

After ATS Litigation: A FCPA for Human Rights?
The Supreme Court’s recent decision in *Jesner v. Arab Bank, PLC* further restricts federal private litigation to vindicate international human rights law, perhaps to a vanishing point. In retrospect, even *Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain*’s guarded endorsement of such lawsuits seems exceptional. Both *Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum* and *Jesner* recognized the tension in *Sosa*’s effort to keep the federal courthouse door ajar, and have restored what the majority sees as the default against judicially-created federal private rights of action. It seems likely that private human rights li... more »

This Is How Iran Recruits Afghans To Fight In Syria

When the Revolutionary Guard offered Mahdi a choice — fight in Syria or be shipped to the border with Afghanistan, rife with Taliban fighters — it seemed a no-brainer: It was 2014 and Mahdi, a teenager who'd never finished school and had fled from Kabul to Iran hoping to find a better life, had never heard of Syria, let... more »

Terror Groups Are Going To Use Artificial Intelligence Platforms Once They Become Available
*Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, Defense One:** Terrorists Are Going to Use Artificial Intelligence* *Machine-learning technology is growing ever more accessible. Let’s not have a 9/11-style ‘failure of imagination’ about it.* There is a general tendency among counterterrorism analysts to understate rather than hyperbolize terrorists’ technological adaptations.

"The Mob takes the 5th. If you're innocent why you taking the 5th Amendment?" This video above will be in a Trump memorial "presidential" library and museum some day.

(He said he can't rule it out... in Trump speak: "get ready.") The ... more »

THE MONOPOLIZATION OF AMERICA: The Biggest Economic Problem...
Robert Reich - 1 day ago
*THE MONOPOLIZATION OF AMERICA: The Biggest Economic Problem You’re Hearing Almost Nothing About* Not long ago I visited some farmers in Missouri whose profits are disappearing. Why? Monsanto alone owns the key genetic traits to more than 90 percent of the soybeans planted by farmers in the United States, and 80 percent of the corn.
