"I'm about as posh as you are. I come from Wales, as you do. I'm not posh".
David Dimbleby, in the 'Today' studio this morning John Humphrys and David Dimbleby had a slight falling-out on this morning's *Today*: *John Humphrys*: Your views about the monarchy? I noticed that you've got the brilliant Craig Brown to talk about it and he's a noted satirist and can be a wee bit cruel about the monarchy occasionally in a very funny way. Your views about it? Because you've been... one imagines anyway, because you're quite posh, aren't you, and one imagines you've been quite close to the monarchy over the years, and you've certainly covered a huge amount of royal ... more »
Introducing One of America's Deadliest Submarine (That Was Sunk by Its Own Torpedo)
*Warfare History Network, Flint Whitlock* *Security, Asia* [image: By U.S. Navy; The original uploader was Duncharris at English Wikipedia. 2004-11-15 (first version); 2006-11-14 (last version)Later versions were uploaded by Stukov, RKernan at en.wikipedia. - Official U.S. Navy photo NH 42273 from the U.S. Navy Naval His] The USS Tang (SS 306) was America’s most successful submarine until it was sunk by one of its own torpedoes.

The Navy's Stealthy Zumwalt-Class Destoryer Has 1 Big Problem
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * What do you actually do with it? In January 2018, the Navy will commission its second hi-tech *Zumwalt-*class stealth destroyer, the *USS Michael Mansoor*. The third and last, *USS Lyndon B. Johnson* was launched this December 2018 and will be commissioned in 2022. Traditionally, warships are tailored to perform specific missions. But the cutting-edge *Zumwalt* has been a ship in search of a mission, especially since procurement of hyper-expensive ammunition for its primary weapon system was canceled. Years and billions of dollars later, the Navy ... more »
The Navy's Version of the F-35 Has a Big Problem
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] The Navy plans to deploy its F-35C carrier-based jets in 2019—but less than one out of six were fully mission capable last year. The F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter has weathered years of controversy over cost overruns, delays and performance trade-offs. The Pentagon has steadfastly maintained the type’s ability to penetrate enemy air defenses and network sensor data through its sophisticated computers will prove worth it. Indeed, by 2018, some of the persistent problems seemed to be abating, per-unit costs have begun ... more »
The BBC is therefore not obliged...
*"The information you have requested is excluded from the Act because it is held for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature.’ The BBC is therefore not obliged to provide this information to you and will not be doing so on this occasion."* Those are very familiar words to those who put in a Freedom of Information request to the BBC. A Conservative MP Andrew Percy has just had the pleasure of reading them too after the BBC rejected his FoI request to get the BBC to disclose the total budget of BBC Sounds (the replacement for the BBC iPlayer) as well as information on how ma... more »

Iranian ship allegedly fires rockets towards US aircraft carrier in Persian Gulf
A US aircraft carrier sailed into the Persian Gulf on Friday amid Iranian threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, the only sea passage from the Gulf to the open ocean and strategic waterway linking Middle East crude producers to crucial world markets.

The Bomb That Did Not Detonate: Julian Assange, Manafort And The Guardian
Fraud might run through Manafort’s blood (convictions on eight counts of bank-and tax-fraud is fairly convincing proof of that), but the case assembled against Assange seems very much one of enthusiastic botch-up masquerading as a stitch-up. The post The Bomb That Did Not Detonate: Julian Assange, Manafort And The Guardian appeared first on OrientalReview.org.

SATURDAY ALTERNATIVE CARTOONS: WINTER SOLSTICE: DECEMBER 22, 2018
Solstice. The shortest day of the year. Part of our European heritage ~ fire and ice. May all who celebrate this night do so with gusto! I really don't have much to say; the world chugs along and our leaders continue to disappoint as leaders are wont to do. But, to be honest, I am tired of letting events bring me down any longer; it is good seeing people begin to wake up with this Yellow Vest movement, especially here in Canada of late, but I watch this with a certain wariness, having seen in the past just how skilled at deception our enemies are at weaponizing events in their fav... more »
Qanon The case for Treason
The allegation has been out there that Obama was an indoctrinated Muslim supported to rise to political prominence within the USA. It is also likely that this source of support allowed him to skate through the university system itself without literally showing up for most of it. As far as writing is concerned, his material looks ghost written by Alinsky and is otherwise scant to say the least. All that made him far less dangerous than he could have been which is our good fortune. In other words he was a true Manchurian Candidate. His support came from a Saudis clique and p... more »
Wes Penre I B - Problem - Reaction - Solution
This paper was actually published in 1998 and is a preliminary history or framework of this apparent conspiracy manipulating global governments. As I have posted, underlying all this effort is the belief that government will be through hierarchy and that they must position themselves to be in control of this structure. Thus we have the simple structure of all secret societies imitating just that and this includes the central banking cartel now been challenged by Trump. Now we address Problem - Reaction - Solution as a protocol for social manipulation. What is discernible is ... more »
Why Is CBD Everywhere?
What has happened is that the marketing industry has reached a tipping point in which CBD is mainstream and can be attached anywhere possible. Essentually it is no longer in the hands of the stoners and that is a good thing. CBD will survive the machinations of all the prohibition crowd which is good. Showing up as the supplement of choice every which way serves to speed public acceptance. Think mint oil. . *Why Is CBD Everywhere?* *Cannabidiol is being touted as a magical elixir, a cure-all now available in bath bombs, dog treats and even pharmaceuticals. But maybe it’s ju... more »
150 Minutes of Hell
This is a terrifying report and we learn of a rare but real threat that allows a fire base to explode laterally for miles. It is column collapse. What this does mean us that community protection must include total forest grooming in which all natural wood waste is at least at least chipped and perhaps concentrated along access paths. They may then be actually gathered and removed if winter rains are insufficient to reduce them. Then there is the serious problem of all hillsides. This sets up a natural chimney the rips up the hillside to take out anything built on top. All hou... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Rick Santorum and Russian spy Maria Butina. How bought and sold do you have to be to smile and eagerly pose, openly, no less, with a Russian spy? After seeing this cuddly photo of these two lowlifes, it can no longer be surprising why Rick Santorum has been one of Traitor Don's biggest TV defenders any time questions about Trump's close relationships with Putin and assorted Russian oligarchs come up. Santorum, in fact, has been nothing short of a Trump surrogate. It might be time to confiscate his American passport and find out if he has a Russian one. While we're at it,... more »

Turkish President Erdogan 'Pospones' Syria Military Operation Against The Kurds
*Al Jazeera*: *Erdogan delays Syria operation, welcomes US troop withdrawal* Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also vows to clear Kurdish and ISIL armed groups from northern Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that his country would postpone a military operation against Syrian Kurdish fighters in northeast Syria as he "cautiously" welcomed Washington's decision to withdraw its troops in the area. Speaking during a speech in Istanbul, Erdogan said the US decision meant Turkey would "wait a little longer" before launching the operation. "Of course, th... more »

Impeachment Time Is Coming
Pelosi thinks it's "bad politics" to impeach Trump. (It's no less her duty than it was Paul Ryan's-- maybe more so.) She may be wrong... and her hand may be forced. A new poll, released this morning by the Associated Press, confirms that most Americans believe that Trump has obstructed the investigation by Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 election that put Trump into the White House. And a smaller majority think that if the case is proven that Trump worked with the Russians on this, he should be impeached and removed from office. It's become painfully obvious ... more »
Introducing USS Batfish: The Navy Submarine the Terrorized Imperial Japan
*Warfare History Network, Robert Barr Smith* *Security, Asia* [image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/USS_Balao_SS-285.jpg] This is her story. She was a sleek, efficient, deadly killer, a home to six officers and 60 enlisted men, and a holy terror to the enemy. She was a fleet submarine, and she was called Batfish. She was not among the record-holding American boats in total tonnage or number of ships sunk, but the submarine force of Imperial Japan had reason to fear her. For Batfish was one of only two Allied boats with the distinction of sinking three enem... more »
Introducing Russia's 'New' T-72 Tank (Thanks To Some Deadly Upgrades)
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* And it could be a big sales success. Russia’s T-72B3 tank is one of the most lethal versions of the T-72 in production. A modernization of the T-72B from the 1980s, it provides Russia with an effective frontline tank at a cheaper cost than the T-90 or upgrades versions of the T-80. Logically, such an upgrade to the T-72 would be popular worldwide, given the massive number of countries that operate T-72s. But the T-72B3 is only used by Russia and its close neighbor, Belarus. A variety of T-72 upgrades and configurations have been developed by Russ... more »
Introducing the CAR-15: America's Ultimate 'Commando' Rifle?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Or a Vietnam Era bust? During the Vietnam War, the Pentagon provided U.S. Army Green Berets and U.S. Navy SEALs commandos with a shorter, more compact version of the M16 rifle. The CAR-15 was well suited for the jungles of southeast Asia while still packing the potent 5.56-millimeter round. Although classified as a submachine gun at the time, the CAR-15 was the forerunner of modern special forces weapons and the regular Army’s M4 carbine. In the mid-1960s, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps purchased a large number of M16 rifles for troops bound for the ... more »
