Trump Sneaks Around California, Hiding From The Voters-- Like A Thief In The Night
I was supposed to have dinner with a friend at Nerano, a small, low-key, out-of-the-way restaurant in Beverley Hills tonight. But we cancelled the reservation and moved our destination to a Turkish restaurant, Kismet, on the East Side instead. Our goal wasn't about cuisine-- although Kismet is amazing, especially the marinated feta-- but to get as far away from the Trumpanzee Circus on the West Side. He was at a mystery dinner last night and a mystery breakfast today. Southern California activists wanted to protest Trump's two appearances in Beverly Hills. But they couldn't. The... more »
Eating like a medieval peasant
I was interested to read about a re-enactment group's issuing of a cookbook containing medieval English recipes - well, Cumbrian, actually. Cumbria’s peasants, it turns out, ate much as we strive to today—though for vastly different reasons. Lack of access to an international array of foods meant the peasants’ diets consisted of plant-based, low-sugar meals of locally sourced, if not home-grown ingredients; the book’s simple “Roast Onions with Thyme” recipe is emblematic. Voluntary, intermittent fasting wasn’t uncommon either, says Jones, albeit in the name of religious self-discip... more »

*David Axe* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] It's a big deal. *Key point:* This new, domestically-produced missile is Taiwan's attempt to close some of the military imbalance with China. Taiwan has begun production of a new land-attack cruise missile. But the island country still is badly outgunned by China’s own, much larger missile arsenal.

Russia Has Made Some Dangerous Changes to Its Zircon Hypersonic Missile
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/2018_Moscow_Victory_Day_Parade_66.jpg] Here's what's new. *Key point:* Russia has upgraded their missile to allow it to be used from land instead of just by sea. The 3M22 Zircon (Tsirkon) missile is one of the most hyped-up weapons in the Russian arsenal. One of the big three publicly-revealed hypersonic missiles, the Zircon is an anti-ship missile designed to pose an “unstoppable” threat to ships within a 300-400 km range.

This Grainy Photo Shows Hitler's 'Stealth' Fighter: Meet the Ho 229

Northrop Grumman revealed this year it is developing a second flying wing stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider, to succeed its B-2 Spirit. However, it was a pair of German brothers in the service of Nazi Germany that developed the first jet-powered flying wing—which has been dubbed, debatably, “Hitler’s stealth fighter.” But maximizing speed and range, not steal... more »

British Troops Massacred Indians in Amritsar – and a Century Later, There’s Been No Official Apology

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby recently visited the site of a brutal massacre that happened in 1919 under the British colonial rule in India and offered his personal apologies.

Why Is Iran's Military Featured on a U.S. Army Deck of Playing Cards?
*Michael Peck* *Culture, Americas* [image: Reuters] Good question. *Key point*: The Army has a long-standing history of making card decks featuring America's adversaries and rivals. It’s either a badge of honor or a countdown to war. Iran’s arsenal of weaponry now adorns a deck of U.S. Army playing cards. Iran finds itself in august company. The Army already has decks of cards for Russian and Chinese weapons. And then there was the famous “most wanted” deck of Al Qaeda leaders distributed to American soldiers in Iraq.

Great-power competition is back, and so are surface navies.

Oil and War Drums
First, it appears that a substancial attack was made on the Saudi oil complex. It is claimed that half of Saudi production was lost. That is a tall tale unless a a substancial number of weapons were involved. It is also unreasonable to think that the Saudis had somehow failed to anticipate an attack and had not taken basic steps to protect their facilities. What this does do is allow the price of oil to be lifted into higher levels. As of this writing it has jumped to $65. Assuming that the production loss is actually temporary then they will get a sales windfall or at wors... more »

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa/BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe, Sep 16 (IPS) - Arama Sire Camara, a fruit and vegetable seller in the province of Kindia, some 135 km from the Guinean capital of Conakry, feels safer trading well into the night thanks to the Rural Electrification Project, financed by 21-million-dollar investment by the African Development Bank. "With lighting on the road at night and illuminating our goods, it means we are safer, especially with all the cars on the road. You can work for longer after nightfall, and so we can make more of our products," she says. Read the full story,... more »
Reparations: The Key to Eliminating the Wealth Gap Between Black and White Americans?
*Christian Weller* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris are among the 2020 presidential hopefuls in favor of reparations. Four hundred years ago, America’s first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia. Centuries later, black Americans have managed to accumulate some wealth, but it still pales in comparison to that of whites. This racial wealth gap is a result not only of the horrors of slavery but also policies – such as Jim Crow laws, redlining and modern-day mass incarceration – that followed. The average white family with at least one w... more »

Green - This image is available from the Our Collections of the State Library of Victoria under the Accession Number:, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10821395] A mistake? *Key point:* The battleships were never completed, but they would have presented a formidable mix of qualities. The five battleships of the *King George V* class served the Royal Navy honorably during the war, participating in the destruction of the battleships *Bismarck* and *Scharnhorst* along with an array of other mission... more »
Israel Elections: Who Women Vote for and How It’s Shifting
*Einat Gedalya-Lavy* *Politics, Middle East* [image: Reuters] A key question is whether having a woman who is also secular, leading such a right-wing religious alliance for the first time, will affect Israeli voting patterns. Israelis are heading to the polls in a unique election. The vote on September 17 is the first time Israelis will vote in two elections in the same year, after the Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, failed to form a new coalition government following the April 2019 election. It’s also exceptional in terms of female political leadership – th... more »
Expanding Direct Democracy Won’t Make Americans Feel Better about Politics
*Joshua J. Dyck, Edward L. Lascher Jr.* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Recent polls show Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with their system of representative democracy. Many see sharp and unhealthy partisan divisions and lack confidence that the system will produce the results they desire. As Americans watch the Brexit-related political turmoil in the United Kingdom, it is important to remember that the chaos there began in a form of direct democracy. When U.K. voters set in motion their exit from the European Union, they did so by voting directly on the so-called “... more »
What Were the Mach 10 UFOs That Iran's Jets Encountered?
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/77/d5/68/77d5682e60e41f846f66bb7f1673dcb1.jpg] Does the U.S. have a super-secret spy plane? *Key point:* Iran has encountered really strange flying objects that might be an unknown, secret American spy plane. Iran is the only other country besides the United States to operate arguably history’s most powerful interceptor aircraft, the F-14 Tomcat. And the Islamic republic has worked the twin-engine, swing-wing fighters *hard*. The F-14s played a major role in Iran’s war with Iraq from 1980 to 1988. Irania... more »
