Impeaching Señor Trumpanzee-- Where Are The Missing Votes Hiding?
*UPDATE:* There are now 211 members of Congress in favor of opening an official impeachment inquiry-- meaning all they need is 7 more, something they will have before the end of the day. On Tuesday morning-- apparently with an OK from Pelosi-- John Lewis, who is considered by many the "conscience of Congress," spoke on the House floor, reversing his public impeachment position. "We cannot delay. We must not wait. Now is the time to act. I have been patient while we tried every other path and used every other tool. We will never find the truth unless we use the power given to the... more »

Taliban Have Reiterated Their Prime Objectives: The Withdrawal Of Foreign Forces And The Establishment Of A Taliban Run Government
*Long War Journal*: *Taliban’s prime objectives: US withdrawal, ‘establishment of an Islamic government’* The Taliban reiterated that its prime objectives in negotiations with the US is to get Coalition forces to withdrawal from Afghanistan and the “establishment of an Islamic government,” a thinly veiled reference to the return of the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Taliban also said that it was “religiously” obligated to continue fighting until the US leaves the country. The message is nothing new.

A very nifty small craft suspension system
A tip o' the hat to Solomon for putting up this video clip of a new small craft suspension system. It turns out that Nauti-Craft is an Australian company, with ambitions to apply their suspension to all sorts of smaller craft. Being a former military man, I was interested to read their perspective on its military use: "Provides significant reduction in Whole Body Vibration (WBV) and stabilised platform for increased operational capability for military personnel. Provides a competitive technical advantage where operational success is critical." This is of even greater interes... more »

Johnson Enters Neo-Con Heaven By Craig Murray
There has been remarkably little media commentary on the effect of the UK leaving the EU Common Foreign Policy, even though this is a major aim of Johnson, Gove and the Tory Brexiteers. The media appear not to have noticed the existence of the Common Foreign Policy. We saw perhaps the first public glimpse of the UK’s new foreign policy yesterday when Boris Johnson breeched the EU Common Foreign Policy to join Donald Trump in denouncing the Iran nuclear treaty. As the UK has not actually left the EU yet, that was bad faith and an illegal act against an EU treaty obligation, but follo... more »

Forget the SR-71 Spy Plane: Meet the CIA's A-12 (Was It Even Better?)
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* Two high-powered Mach 3 planes duke it out. *Key point:* Both spy planes played key roles in the Cold War. Analysis of Week’s photos located the USS Pueblo near Wonsan anchored next to two patrol boats—and also revealed that Pyongyang had not mobilized its troops for war. This led Johnson to rule out plans for a preemptive or punitive strike in favor of diplomatic measures which eventually saw the ship’s abused crew released nearly a year later.

Trump the Russian Puppet. A Story That Just Will Not Die
This story is repeated over and over again to sustain the key audience. The fact that it is completely absurd and from the beginning, profoundly unlikely is irrelevant when the objective is to maintain the belief system of the followers.

You can see how that will never work out and it has never worked out. What is abundantly clear this late in the game is that the monopoly media cabal is completely invested w... more »

The closest I can get to addressing this fact pattern is the gargoyle.

The problem is that they should leave plenty of tracks as well and the cutting action should be identified as such. In fact all forms of predator cutting should be identifiable as such.

These Are the Robot Sailors the Navy Wants for Its Aircraft Carriers
*Michael Peck* *Technology, Americas* The future? *Key point:* Robots can lift heavy items like ammunition while freeing up sailors for other tasks. There are few places more busy and stressful than the deck of an aircraft carrier. That's because a carrier is an airport planted on top of a ship. A U.S. *Nimitz*-class carrier is longer than three football fields, but that's a lot less acreage than even a regional airport on land. Still, a carrier has to be to launch, recover and prep jet aircraft, and do so quickly and efficiently. That means swarms of sailors pushing carts lade... more »
How Pakistan Has Won the War in Afghanistan (America Lost)

The basic outline of the agreement negotiated by U.S. Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad is nothing new: The United States withdraws its forces in exchange for a Taliban pledge not to associate with terrorism or allow Afghanistan to be used as a safe-haven for terror groups.

How Do Brains Tune In to One Neural Signal out of Billions?
*Salvatore Domenic Morgera* *Science, Americas* [image: Reuters] Your brain is conducting multiple orchestras of information at the same time.

Vafa and pals mass-produce swampland hypotheses
In 2005, Cumrun Vafa, a top topological string theorist and the father of F-theory (whose office was next to mine), not only knew that the sourballs claiming that "string theory didn't predict anything" were full of manure (he was using even more polite words than I do) but he was also capable of developing a repeatable framework to produce evidence that string theory predicts a lot, the swampland program. While it looks like string theory may emulate basically "all effective (quantum) field theories coupled to gravity", with some discrete values of the parameters that are separated ... more »
