Intelligence’s Three Big Problems In The Information Age
*Zachery T. Brown (RCD)*: *Librarians of Babel: Intelligence’s Three Big Problems in the Information Age* *Summary* The U.S. Intelligence Community faces major challenges resulting from the information revolution. First, an exponential increase in the volume of data being generated threatens to overwhelm an already over-tasked collection and analytic structure. Secondly, the vast majority of useful information today is publicly-available, a fact the IC has struggled to come to terms with and that could obviate its classified collection model. Lastly, both of these problems contrib... more »

Tolerating A Fraud
Paul Krugman has coined a phrase which really encapsulates who -- or what -- Donald Trump is. Krugman writes that he's "a rebel without a clue." Nowhere is that more apparent than on the subject of trade: Even as he declared himself Tariff Man, Trump revealed that he doesn’t understand how tariffs work. No, they aren’t taxes on foreigners, they’re taxes on our own consumers. When trying to make deals, he seems to care only about whether he can claim a “win,” not about substance. He has been touting the “U.S. Mexico Canada Trade Agreement” as a repudiation of NAFTA, when it’s actu... more »

True Change In Society - The Wisdom of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
*"Whatever the failings of a society, it is not advisable to solve them with violence. Some people may say, ‘But when everything needs to be changed, violence is necessary.’ No, and first of all we must never confuse change with upheaval. It is never by means of violence that true change can be realized. In fact, it has often been observed that violence always brings about greater evils than those it claims to cure. In truth, making change in society is the responsibility of every one of us. No matter how highly placed or powerful, no single person can proclaim, ‘From now on th... more »

No-deal Brexit: Disruption at Dover 'could last six months' per BBC News who muddy the waters of on medicines
Read this part of this BBC article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46480374 'Current advice is that there should be a six-week stockpile of medicines in the UK to cover the possibility of disruption after a no deal Brexit.

Why You Don’t Need To Worry About The ‘Great Dying’ - It’s About The Permian Extinction 262 Million Years Ago
This is running as a scary story in the news today. I’m asked if it means we are all going to die. No, it does not. That was a 10 °C rise and we are headed towards 3.6 °C at maximum with the Paris pledges already. With the Paris agreement if they continue to ramp up the pledges they should get within 2 °C, many countries have already got to that point in their pledges and a fair number to within 1.5 °C. Others, especially China and Russia, face huge challenges but are rising to them especially China. We aren’t currently headed for anything like 10 °C. read more
Roscoe's Rascals
*Why did the US enter WW2?* *- Wrong Answer Most Given: Because of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.* *- Correct Answer: The US entered WW2 because the Zionist controlled banks and the global cabal called the NWO planned and manipulated it to be so. Besides killing millions upon millions of innocent people, it required governments to borrow billions upon billions from the same banks that built Germany and Japan into the military force they became. This was all part of their plan for Global Control via war, war powers, debt, and the contrived Cold War which followed.*
