By Clay Waters ~ Extinction Rebellion, a burgeoning radical group of self-proclaimed environmentalists, that originated in England in the summer of 2018, now has a following among the hard left in America, as they do the usual left-wing protest things, like disrupting the commutes of ordinary people trying to get through the day. New York […]
Hunting The “White Whale” Of Ocean Plastic Clean Up
By Adam Houser ~ In the literary classic, Moby Dick, Captain Ahab is desperately searching for the “white whale” that maimed him during a previous nautical voyage.

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* In a far, far better, more righteous world than the one we live in right now; a world where all of the politicians in both houses of Congress see it as their job to stand up for the Constitution and defend it, the scene in tonight's meme would already be reality. Not only that but all of Trump's family, staff and cabinet would be there with him for the rest of their lives. Also, Stephen Miller, Sean Hannity, and Tucker Carlson would be the only caucasians in a separate wing. I would be merciful, though. Three times a day, at very specifically scheduled times, I would sen... more »
Greg Hunter, "Global Debt Bubble a Gigantic Time Bomb"
*"Global Debt Bubble a Gigantic Time Bomb"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Money manager Peter Schiff says the Federal Reserve has already started a new money printing program that continues to expand the debt bubble and keep global markets propped up. This started abruptly last month in what is called the “repo market,” where the Fed provides liquidity for traders of short-term money or overnight funding. Schiff says, “When the Fed was doing QE3, they were buying $85 billion worth of debt per month. They (Fed) just did $176 billion in three weeks, and they say they are not doing... more »
"Dreams And Stars..."
"I've heard fate talked of. It's not a word I use. I think we make our own choices. I think how we live our lives is our own doing, and we cannot fully hope on dreams and stars. But dreams and stars can guide us, perhaps. And the heart's voice is a strong one. Always is. Your heart's voice is your true voice. It is easy to ignore it, for sometimes it says what we'd rather it did not - and it is so hard to risk the things we have. But what life are we living, if we don't live by our hearts? Not a true one. And the person living it is not the true you." - Susan Fletcher

Egyptian Protests: A US-Fuelled "Arab Spring" Reboot
*October 10, 2019* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - When the West's leading media organizations attempt to convince audiences they know nothing about where Mohammed Aly - a Spanish-based Egyptian protest leader - came from, the first thing one can be sure of is they are being lied to. Protests have begun to spread again in Egypt after nearly a decade of frustration in Washington over its inability to coerce Cairo into serving its regional and global designs. Protesters have allegedly been stirred up by economic turmoil still plaguing Egypt, however familiar US-backed organizations used in... more »

Britain's Stealth Tempest Jet Fighter Is Coming to Dethrone The F-35
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Think lasers and hypersonic missiles. *Key point: *It's an ambitious, long-term plan. The Tempest was unveiled alongside a new “Combat Air Strategy” document marking the UK’s reorientation to preparing for high-intensity conflicts and the danger posed by modern anti-aircraft weapons. However, the document largely focuses on industrial and financial matters, particularly on keeping British military aerospace sector sustainable despite constrained defense budgets and the steadily increasing cost of high-performance platforms like the Type 26 frigate... more »
Ever Wonder How Aircraft Carriers Get Built? See Here For Yourself.
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Always improving. Always protecting the oceans. *Key point*: These giants of the sea and American power require years of planning. One hundred years since the construction of the world’s first aircraft carrier, HMS Hermes, aircraft carriers are still going strong. From Newport News to Shanghai, several of the world’s major naval powers have carriers currently construction.

These Might Just Be the 5 Best Hunting Rifles on Earth
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * An American pastime. *Key point:* Hunting, more than other countries in the Western world, lingers in America’s DNA. While the number of hunters in Europe and the rest of the industrialized world has declined with the rise of cities, hunting is still a major sport in the United States. Hunting is particularly popular in rural and suburban areas and large, stable populations of game, including deer, moose, and wild pigs are liberally distributed across North America. For many in rural areas hunting rifles are tools not only for sport but for procu... more »
The Army Wants A New Rifle, But Replacing the M4 Is Easier Said Than Done
*Jeff Schogol* *Security, * Sometimes the simple things are the most difficult. *Key point: *It's difficult finding the perfect weapon. To paraphrase the legendary military theorist Carl von Clausewitz: Everything in small arms is simple, but the simplest thing is difficult. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley has waged a relentless war against the Department of Defense’s acquisition process (hereafter referred to as “purgatory”) to replace the decades-old weapons currently in soldiers’ kit with new pistols and other small arms. So far, he’s had some major successes on the pist... more »
The Marines' Sniper Rifle Finally Got An Upgrade (Too Bad They Hate It)
*Jared Keller* *Security, * Why? *Key Point*: Scout snipers may have to grin and bear yet another imperfect weapons system for their next plunge into America’s forever wars. The Marine Corps is throwing down cash to test-drive the same compact sniper rifle the Army has pursued in recent months. But while its 7.62mm rounds pack the punch required by scout snipers facing increasingly protected enemies downrange, its effective range falls well short of the sniper systems used by both foreign militaries and militants — a limitation that makes it unclear just what the Corps could do ... more »

The news which broke yesterday that John Bercow has discussed Brexit with David Sassoli, president of the European parliament, *in private *has struck many people as being a story of potentially huge importance.
