Atiyah's talk on the proof of Riemann Hypothesis scheduled for Monday
In 2012, Šiniči Močizuki claimed to have a proof of the \(abc\) conjecture.

The Big Guns are Here: Russia is Bringing Back Its Cold War "God of War" Heavy Artillery
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* Why would Moscow want such old weapons in the era of smart bombs? The answer might be really simple. Russia's "God of War" is coming back with a vengeance.

But with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Red Army's big guns were mothballed to storage depots. Yet with temperatures rising between Russia and the West today, the heavy artillery is being dusted off and mode... more »

*"The Kavanaugh Scandal: Another Deep State Distraction"* by Bill Bonner YOUGHAL, IRELAND – "Here at the Diary, we try to connect the dots. Today, we connect some big ones… *Fire and Brimstone: *The papers are full of fire and brimstone concerning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and what happened in a boozy bedroom long ago. The New York Times calls it “an explosive charge." It was *36* years ago. The accusation: There was a party, alcohol. A 17-year-old boy was drunk and started groping a 15-year-old girl, pinning her down and covering her mouth so she couldn’t scream. Toda... more »
Spartacus Booker: "17-Year Olds Too Immature to Be Held Accountable for Actions"
Senator Spartacus (D-NJ) As the world knows, Judge Kavanaugh is being accused of assaulting Christine Blasey (now Ford) when both were in high school. Blasey did not report the incident to authorities or apparently anyone else at the time. There is zero evidence, not to mention that Kavanaugh not only denies the incident but also that he was even at the party in question — true high schooler Kavanaugh was 17 years old at the time. As it happens, Senator Cory Booker is a sponsor of something called the REDEEM Act — with the GOP’s Senator Rand Paul. The proposed legislation centers ... more »

Ministers quietly drop plans for ‘parallel process’ on working-age social care
Ministers have quietly decided to include the support needs of working-age disabled people in their new social care green paper, scrapping the idea of having a separate “parallel programme of work” as they try to address the social care funding crisis. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) previously said it would focus only [...]
New job stats raise questions over ministers’ boasts on disability employment
New figures obtained by a disabled people’s organisation – after ministers refused to commission the work themselves – appear to show how the government relies on the growth in self-employment and part-time jobs to exaggerate its success in increasing disability employment. Ministers such as work and pensions secretary Esther McVey (pictured) have repeatedly boasted of [...]

Victory Over Desperate British Empire Now Within Reach!
New International Economic Order Stop WWIII Victory Over Desperate British Empire Now Within Reach! Video of Victory Over Desperate British Empire Now Within Reach!

AN OCTOBER DAMP SQUIB?
Politico reports that some Democrats are worried about an October surprise: Democratic operatives are growing anxious that Republicans working to undermine the FBI’s Russia probe are teeing up a series of document dumps meant to gin up GOP voters ahead of the midterm elections.

The Senate Has Subpoena Power
I am confused about the discussion surrounding the process for assessing the sexual assault allegation against Judge Kavanaugh. The issue is being framed as whether Dr. Blasley will accept the Senate Judiciary Committee's invitation to testify on Monday, as if they are throwing a birthday party. The Committee can *compel *witnesses to appear, subject to contempt sanctions. If the Committee is actually interested in getting to the bottom of this, then subpoenas should go out to Dr. Blasley, Judge Kavanaugh, and any other relevant witnesses. But I am not convinced that the Senate want... more »

Frauchiger-Renner: QM is inconsistent with two Wigners and their friends
David Thornton has asked about a new paper that basically claims that quantum mechanics is inconsistent, Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself (Nature). Note that Renner has arguably done some non-rubbish work in the quantum information theory but as explained in an unbelievable video, he also employs a group of women who brag to be f*cking 16 hours a day, going from one pregnancy to another, and being paid as "physicists" – from some European taxpayers' money – for allowing their names to be used in some ludicrous papers about the "quantum foundations".
