Unintended Consequences: UK Tanker Fears Iran Retaliation In Gulf
Days after the UK - at US request - seized a tanker filled with Iranian oil near Gibraltar, a UK tanker in the Persian Gulf has made an abrupt u-turn and abandoned its mission to transport Iraqi oil to Europe. Now sheltering in Saudi waters, the tanker fears a tit-for-tat Iranian retaliation. Is this a case of "unintended consequences" for the US-engineered July 4th Iran tanker seizure? How far will this escalate? Watch today's Liberty Report:

Psychological Impact Of Genetic Testing - Like All Psychology, It Depends
Population level metrics such as Body Mass Index (BMI) or statistical correlation using epidemiology don't do much to inform individual experience, and psychology faces the same issue. Surveys can tell us whatever surveys can tell us about what a particular group of people taking surveys think, but there is a reason that no polling group does well with Congressional districts that are contentious. It simply doesn't work. As we learned when we first believed the anti-vaccine problem was a fringe religious issue, what people claim on surveys is not their behavior.(1) read more

Trump Reminds Us That America is a Military Nation
[image: undefined] President Trump is being criticized for surrounding himself with tanks, armored vehicles, flyovers, and generals and admirals during his Fourth of July celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. Critics say that it was unseemly for the president to be showing off the federal government’s military process on Independence Day. Some said it conjured up images of the Soviet Union, when that communist regime would showcase its tanks and military hardware in parades in Moscow’s Red Square. But the fact is that America is a military nation. As Trump pointed out in his Indepen... more »
Frog-Marching Trump Toward War on Iran
[image: undefined] Hypocrisy seems to have become a defining characteristic of US foreign policy, especially when it comes to Iran. After breaking the Iran deal last year and, *de facto*, forcing the Europeans to violate the deal in May, the US Administration is now complaining that Iran is no longer abiding by its obligations under the deal! It’s remarkable to see Secretary of State Mike Pompeo take to Twitter to complain of Iran enriching uranium to pre-deal levels, as if somehow the US believes it can still dictate the terms of a deal to which it is no longer a party.

Review Patriotic Ayatollahs, Nationalism In Post-Saddam Iraq
*Review Sayej, Caroleen Marji, **Patriotic Ayatollahs, Nationalism In Post-Saddam Iraq**, Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 2019* Caroleen Marji Sayej set out to document the role of the leading Ayatollahs from Najaf. She argued that they played a pivotal role in post-Saddam Iraq. They were not quietist as many believed staying out of politics, but saw themselves s guides for the new Iraq. That didn’t mean they wanted an Iranian style Islamic state where clerics would run the government. Instead they pushed for a democratic Iraq. At the same time, they were challenged by... more »

Confirmed! – Geomagnetic reversals can trigger glaciation
Bomb-shell press release from Kobe University confirms what I’ve been saying for years, that geomagnetic reversals can trigger ice ages – perhaps almost instantaneously.

Will the U.S. National Security State Work to Defeat Jeremy Corbyn?
*The implementation of Israel's one-state solution is nearly complete (discussion here)* *by Thomas Neuburger* I've been writing both publicly and privately about regime change and the U.S. national security state lately, most recently here. Bottom line: They do it and they like doing it. It seems no country is immune from being targeted — according to Secretary of State and former CIA Director Mike Pompeo, even the UK. This find stems from a leaked recording of a conversation Pompeo had with British Jewish leaders who are worried about Corbyn's supposed "antisemitism" — in real...more »
Enough Photo-Op Summits: Is There a Deal with North Korea or Not?
*Robert E. Kelly* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Trump needs a clearer and more substantive path forward. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump held his third summit with North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un. The meeting took place at Panmunjom in the demilitarized zone (DMZ), the de facto border between the two Koreas. At this point, we have yet to see any substantive movement on the issues which divide America and South Korea from North Korea. Once again, it appears that a Trump-Kim summit was mostly overtaken by the optics and staging. Trump is a master of media coverag... more »
The U.S. Navy Wants to Add the Ultimate Weapon: 'Laser Guns'?
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * Game changer? (Washington, D.C.) If swarms of enemy small attack boats armed with guns and explosives approached a Navy ship, alongside missile-armed drones and helicopters closing into strike range, ship commanders would instantly begin weighing defensive options - to include interceptor missiles, electronic warfare, deck-mounted guns or area weapons such as Close-in-Weapons System. Now, attacks such as these will also be countered with laser weapons being added to the equation, bringing new dimensions to maritime warfare on the open sea. By 2021, ... more »
