*How You Can Stop Trump’s Lie Machine* Trump is ramping up his lies through his three amplifiers: Fox News, his rallies, and his Twitter account. His lies aren’t subject to the filters traditionally applied to presidential statements, because Trump doesn’t respond to questions from the mainstream press. He doesn’t meet in public with anyone who disagrees with him, and he shuns experts. This means his lies go out to millions of Americans, unfiltered. So what can you do? *1.

Developing Responses to Cyber-Enabled Information Warfare and Influence Operations
This article defines information warfare and influence operations as the deliberate use of information by one party on an adversary population to confuse, mislead and ultimately influence the actions that the targeted population makes. Information warfare and influence operations are hostile activity, or at least an activity that is conducted between two parties whose interests are not well-aligned. At the same time, information warfare and influence operations do not constitute warfare in the Clausewitzian sense (nor in any sense recognized under the U.N. Charter or the laws of w... more »

North Korea's Air Force: A Threat or a Total Joke?

In The Long Run
Chrystia Freeland is back in Washington, trying to hammer out a trade deal. That's no small task, given the fact that -- as Bob Woodward's new book and the recent anonymous editorial in *The New York Times *make painfully clear -- Trump is off his presidential rocker. Part of the problem is Trump's animus toward Canada. Lawrence Martin doesn't pinpoint the cause. but he writes that it burns intensely: In his America-First campaign, Mr. Trump is remarkably casting Canada among the predator nations taking advantage of his so-called hard-done-by country.

Heidegger On Why He Misunderstood Nazism
Heidegger in 1960Martin Heidegger hated to talk about his engagement with the nazis; he never came up with satisfactory explanation for why he appeared to be sympathetic to nazism, particularly in 1933 when the nazis acquired power in Germany. In 1945, he wrote an essay, “The Rectorate 1933/34: Facts and Thoughts,” to explain what happened in 1933. He says in the essay that at that time he saw in the Nazi Party “the possibility of an inner self-collection and of a renewal of the people, and a path toward the discovery of its historical-Western purpose. I believed that the universit... more »

The Syrian Civil War and Israeli Media Censorship
An interesting example of media censorship recently appeared in Israel.

The New York Times anti-Trump Op Ed by Jeffrey Varasano, guest blogger
The absurd piece in the NY Times today is an admission that 1) There is a Deep State 2) The Deep State is engaged in a Coup 3) Conspiracies can happen and do so often. 4) The Media often know who the conspirators are and hide them 5) Hiding conspiracies is effective because there's institutional pressure and an old boy club that successfully keeps 90% of insiders inline and brushes aside the occasional truth teller or whistleblower. The idea that conspiracies can't happen because they would be quickly exposed is nonsense. 6) If the MSM ignores a story, "exposing the truth" ha... more »

Over The Last 7 Days Our Planet Has Been Violently Shaken By 144 Major Earthquakes

Not really of course, although there are plenty of Christians who do buy into an end times meme that envisages military conflict. Yet that is simply a misreading of prophetic material.

What is not obsolete is the art of confrontation. That allows change to occur because a military response is mere suicide. Yet it must also remain ethical as only abuse will unite men to passively resis... more »

More identity group politics? Founder Rye Barcott claims they don't screen "for ideology" but looks for a "common bond of service and commitment to the country."
