"That Tiny Light..."
"Hope is that tiny light that the gods have given us so that we can find our way through our darkest hours. And while we might stub our toes and bruise our knees, if we keep moving forward, even when our progress is slow and painful, we will overcome and be made better by our journey. No misery or bad situation is ever infinite or final until we make a conscious decision for it to be so." - Sherrilyn Kenyon
"Insanity Is Relative..."
“We work in the dark. We do what we can to battle the evil that would otherwise destroy us. But if a man's character is his fate, it's not a choice but a calling. Sometimes the weight of this burden causes us to falter, breaching the fragile fortress of our mind, allowing the monster without to turn within. We are left alone staring into the abyss, into the laughing face of madness.” - “Fox Mulder”

Earthquakes and Fukushima Daiichi
On August 18, 2018 I received an "elevated earthquake risk due to coronal holes" from my earthquake alert application. An hour later a very large 7.9 earthquake shook Ndoi Island in Fiji. Fiji and Indonesia have since been shook with earthquakes, with one rated a 6.3, located 6km NE of Sembalunlawang, Indonesia and one rated 6.7, located 283km S of Sigave Wallis and Futuna, and yet another rated 6.9, located 4k S of Belanting Indonesia. I wish I had a visual representation to post here but I do not. Perhaps it is enough to say that the South Pacific area is shaking quite a bit mor... more »

Have You Committed Your Three Felonies Today?
[image: undefined] Several years ago the Commonwealth of Virginia enacted a law restricting firearms purchases to one per month. This was intended to discourage smuggling of weapons to urban areas outside Virginia with tight gun control laws and (unsurprisingly) high homicide rates. The law didn’t seem to do much good and in a rare outbreak of common sense was later repealed, though there’s recent misguided talk from Attorney General Mark Herring of reviving it. During its short period in force, the prohibition spawned a popular saying in the Old Dominion: “Buy one gun a month – it... more »
Protectionism Abroad and Socialism at Home
[image: undefined] One of the most insidious ways politicians expand government is by creating new programs to “solve” problems created by politicians. For example, government interference in health care increased health care costs, making it difficult or even impossible for many to obtain affordable, quality care. The effects of these prior interventions were used to justify Obamacare. Now, the failures of Obamacare are being used to justify further government intervention in health care. This does not just include the renewed push for socialized medicine. It also includes suppor... more »

Russia and China Have Lots of Ways to Sink a Navy Aircraft Carrier
*Robert Farley* *Security, * We can think of five, to be exact. *Maybe China and Russia don’t need to kill a carrier to drive the species to extinction. All of the factors above—the weapon systems that can kill carriers, and the costs associated with the ships themselves—come together to create caution about how to use the ships. In the event of a conflict, U.S. Navy admirals and the U.S. president may grow so concerned about the vulnerability of carriers that they don’t use them assertively and effectively.

South Korea's President Moon’s approval rating was the lowest last week (58%) due to a series of issues.

The Communist and the Indian
The Democrat line up for 2020 is interesting with a mixed bag of freaks, designed to appeal to any one of a number of social justice warriors. The problem that they have is that all of their constituents do not have the same sorts of grievances. Some gender warriors who want to be willing to change the way they identify their kinks at will are uncomfortable with "fungible race". Racial warriors don't like the idea that a white person with ancestry from Iceland can (on a whim) self-identify as a black person from Botswana. Herein lies the problem that they are experiencing.

Replace 'London Dollar' With New Bretton Woods Before Currency Crisis Explodes
[image: President Donald J. Trump and Queen Elizabeth II | July 13, 2018 (Official White House Photo by Andrea Hanks)] Ten years ago, with the global financial system in collapse, *EIR* Founder Lyndon LaRouche said in a webcast, "The present international monetary system cannot be rescued. If you try to rescue it, you will lose the planet." Ten years later, central banks which have printed $14 trillion in new bank-reserve money to try to rescue the monetary system, have thus effectively set off a new international "currency crisis" leading toward waves of defaults on corporate and e... more »
Exoplanets Containing Water May Be More Common Than Believed
Some exoplanets with masses two to four times the size of Earth can be explained by large amounts of water - and they may be more common than previously thought, say researchers. The 1992 discovery of exoplanets orbiting other stars has sparked interest in understanding the composition of these planets to determine, among other goals, whether they are suitable for the development of life. Now a new evaluation of data from the exoplanet-hunting Kepler Space Telescope and the Gaia mission indicates that many of the known planets may contain as much as 50% water. This is much more th... more »
Russia, China Nearing Alliance Conditions

Inquiring Minds: Is Turkey Likely to Annex the Territory it Now Controls in Syria?
*Personally, speaking. The answer to the above question: Is Turkey likely to annex the Syrian territory it now controls? No.* * It's doubtful Turkey needs the extra headache that would be had by annexing this territory. Way more probable is they will cooperate with Russia and Iran, as they have so far, in this regard and respect the sovereignty of Syria. * *I do think they will attempt to wield influence in the region, but, they won’t claim the land as their own. The one factor that may change this outcome, just my opinion, is the way Bashar Assad handles and what happens with th... more »

Psychologists Discover Your Personality May Change Over 50 Years

K2 'Black Panther' Tank: How South Korea Would Wage a Land War Against North Korea
*Ed Kim* *Security, Asia* Faced with unique threats and a terrain that is not exactly tank friendly, South Korea adapted technology from all over the world, as well as its own innovations, to create a weapon customized to its unique needs and environment. In the process, Seoul designed a pretty good tank that has taken the lemons of its geography to make lemonade. *In terms of armor, the K2 most likely has a classified composite blend. Clearly, that doesn’t say much, but we do know that the front has been tested to withstand a close range sabot shot from the K2’s own L55 high ve... more »

"What to Do When Anxiety Overwhelms You"
*"What to Do When Anxiety Overwhelms You"* by Sharon Salzberg "The overwhelm of anxiety builds and builds - as one thought generates two more thoughts, four more spring from those. The mind proliferates, taking each feeling as fact and conjecturing another frightening scenario on that, and then another. If this, then that, and then this, and this, and this, and then we all die in a raging fire. As I travel the world teaching, my audiences frequently ask for help in stopping these rapidly escalating - and isolating - thought patterns. In this second column on anxiety, I will offer s... more »
"An Alternative Entity..."
“The Old Testament God rules with a heavy hand over a static moral world, but I believe that our world is instead presided over by an alternative entity, the Native American deity, Coyote. Coyote is indestructible, lecherous, hilarious, and improvisational, frequently straying toward catastrophe, and surviving. Many native creation myths do not feature a world that was perfect in the beginning, but one that was made by flawed, humorous creators who never finished the job. In that world, there was never a state of grace, never a fall, and creation continues... In Yahweh’s world, onl... more »

Will Pence By The First Man On Mars? And Will Zephyr Teachout Be New York Attorney General?
What sounds better, "half a trillion" or "$500,000 billion?" Either way, that's how much the national debt Trump and his GOP enablers plan to leave American taxpayers jumped in the last 6 months. That's an all-time high ($21.4 trillion), complements of a fake president whose only certifiable talent is going bankrupt. Worse: as the debt continues to rise, the pace of growth has slowed this year. Trump's always been a "What, Me Worry?" kind of guy. For his entire miserable life, someone else has cleaned up after him. No one in their right mind could have thought his stay in the Whit... more »
