*by Noah Sunday Thoughts* Now that the U.S. Navy has confirmed what they call UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), better known as UFOs, Republicans can now work themselves into a frenzy of hatred for a whole new group of aliens. I can hardly wait 'til Senor Trumpanzee proclaims: I, President Donald J. Trump, am calling for a total and complete shutdown on these saucermen entering our airspace until we can find out what the hell is going on. Republicans have always lived for finding new groups of people to hate, so now that we may be getting some official recognition that ETs... more »

Webcams in Nursing Home Rooms May Deter Elder Abuse – But are They Ethical?
*Clara Berridge, Karen Levy* *Health, Americas* Nursing home staff report feeling demoralized by the use of web-endabled cameras to monitor the care of patients. Mary Ann Papp’s daughter Lisa was worried about her 75-year-old mother. A foot infection seemed to be going untreated, leading Lisa to fear that her mother’s nursing home wasn’t providing proper care. So Lisa did what any concerned child might: She bought a US$199 webcam from Target and put it in her mother’s room. But she found that nursing home staff kept pointing the camera away from Mary Ann’s bed or unplugging it. ... more »
China Could Conquer Taiwan, But It Would Be In For a Very Tough Fight
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Asia* More than America would keep the PLA at bay. *Key point:* It would be very bloody and not very easy. With President Xi Jinping having consolidated his power at the 19th Party Congress, and the United States increasingly distracted at home, it may seem like a given that China will reestablish its predominance over the Asia-Pacific region. A new study casts doubt on this, however, arguing that Beijing doesn’t have the military power to defeat its neighbors. In fact, it probably can’t even conquer Taiwan.

Is Ludwig Wittgenstein Overrated?
Crispin Sartwell, in his article, "Overrated: Ludwig Wittgenstein," says that Wittgenstein "inspired decades of needless self-destruction among his disciples." Here's an excerpt: "Wittgenstein’s reputation for genius did not depend on incomprehensibility alone. He was also “tortured”, rude and unreliable. He had an intense gaze. He spent months in cold places like Norway to isolate himself. He temporarily quit philosophy, because he believed that he had solved all its problems in his 1922 Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and worked as a gardener. He gave away his family fortune. And,... more »
On Philosophers
A good philosophy is an improvement over past philosophy, but a great philosophy is not merely an improvement—it is an evolution to a new paradigm of thought. There have been several good philosophers in the western philosophical tradition, but the great philosophers, according to me, are the following: Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Stoics, Cicero, Aquinas, Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, Locke, Hume, Kant, and Hegel.

How Deep Was the Swamp in 1964?
You may recognize the speaker here and you should pay heed to his words if you haven’t heard them before. How little things have changed, except for the worse, since then. Apparently he was campaigning for Barry Goldwater in the primary contest for president against Richard Nixon in 1964. Lyndon Johnson won the general election. I could be wrong about the year so correct me if you can. Interesting what he said about Al Smith, who left the democrat party in 1936. Is it any wonder we are where we are now? … Continue reading →
Hillary: "The President Asked A Foreign Power To Help Him Win An Election. Again."
So now we all think we know that the whistleblower thing was Trump pressing Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, to find some dirt on Biden's lobbyist son. And maybe that's "all" it was; or maybe not. It's certainly bad enough-- despite Trump going from denying the whole thing as "fake news" to imbecilic protestations that the whistleblower is partisan. Even more Trumpoid is him demanding someone throw him a shovel so he could announce he's meeting with the Ukrainian guy at the UN next week. Presumably Trump told him he'd get him some aid if he came up with anything on Bide... more »

Is Britain’s Infantry Fighting Vehicle Ready for 21st Century Warfare?
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Europe* [image: By davric - collection personnelle, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1472715] Or is it time to head to the scrap yard? Britain’s FV510 Warrior IFV has never had a good record as an infantry fighting vehicle. While its protection and mobility are decent, the armament has long been maligned by analysts and its users. Compared to contemporary American and Soviet IFVs, the Warrior’s turret lacked any kind of FCS or stabilization. The 30mm gun was also clip-fed compared to the box or tray fed American and Soviet... more »
Politics Turn Nasty In Canada
*Bloomberg:* *Politics Turn Nasty in Canada as Trudeau and Rivals Get Personal* For polite Canada, the latest federal election campaign is turning out to be pretty nasty. Even before bombshell pictures of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in blackface makeup surfaced on Wednesday, his Liberals and their main opposition Conservatives had foregone the usual niceties in favor of tactics more common to the hyper-partisan mud slinging contests south of the border in the U.S. To some, it’s been a cynical race to the bottom where leaders have focused on inflicting maximum damage on their r... more »

Does Elizabeth Warren Even Understand What Real Corruption Is?
A few days ago I had a post evaluating Elizabeth Warren as a candidate for President. Needless to say, the evaluation wasn’t very favorable. But that post touched only lightly on a subject that Warren has sought to make a centerpiece of her campaign, namely political corruption. I thought that that subject deserved a post of its own. First, some background. If you have been reading Manhattan Contrarian long enough, you know my view that government is inherently corrupt. The government consists of human beings, and it’s just part of human nature that people will act in ways to help t... more »

Can an F-35 Be Turned into a Hypersonic Aircraft?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Not if it never gets built. *Key point: *Britain won't be competing with America over aircraft anytime soon. Can an F-35 be turned into a hypersonic aircraft? News last month that Britain is boosting its hypersonic weapons program didn’t come as a surprise. Many other nations are doing it. What caught everyone’s attention was that there are plans to rework the jet engines on the 1990s Eurofighter Typhoon—which propel the aircraft to Mach 2—into hypersonic engines that could achieve Mach 5 or faster. Which naturally led to a question: can existing fou... more »
China's QBZ-95-1 Assault Rifle: A Killer Gun Like No Other or a Joke?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * We have the details. *Key point: *Powerful and reliable, but dated. One of the most widely issued—but least known—infantry small arms is the QBZ-95-1 assault rifle. The QBZ-95-1 is the official rifle of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and its various sub-branches, including the People’s Liberation Army Navy Marine Corps. Unorthodox in appearance, the bullpup QBZ-95-1 also fires an unusual 5.8-millimeter cartridge. The result is a unique weapon symbolic of China’s attempt to go its own way in the world of military small arms. China was one of the ... more »
How the United States Could Lose Iraq
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* There is a battle for influence in Iraq today, and Iran is winning.

The Baghdad complex—which includes its own power station, water treatment plant, and an Olympic-size swimming pool—and cost over $1 billion. In theory, more than one thousand diplomats and officials from other agencies work there, with security officials inflating that number three-fold. And yet, more than a decade after ... more »
How to Make the U.S. Military Weak Again
*Brent Peabody* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The no-first-use policy is dangerous, unnecessary, and antithetical to its own goals of nuclear nonproliferation. No-first-use, or the idea that the United States should not use nuclear weapons unless first attacked with them, has gained traction everywhere from the House Armed Services Committee to the Democratic presidential debates. Proponents of a no-first-use policy present it as a common-sense solution that would reduce the likelihood of nuclear war and signal U.S. leadership on nuclear proliferation.

The Key to Understanding Vladimir Putin
*John Evans* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] It is common to ascribe America’s growing difficulties with Russia to President Vladimir Putin personally, but the sources of Russian discontent predate Putin’s presidency.

Here is how I remember him and what I think of where we are today. Putin was my guest at a July 4th reception in St. Pe... more »
