Miscellaneous material for your mid-week reading. - Jason Hickel observes that what progress has been made in human health and quality of life is the result of progressive policies, not leaving plutocrats to do what they will: (S)ocial services require resources. And it’s important to recognise that growth can help toward that end. But the interventions that matter when it comes to life expectancy do not require high levels of GDP per capita. The European Union has a higher life expectancy than the United States, with 40% less income. Costa Rica and Cuba beat the US with only a frac... more »
"Pole Shifts & Climate Change"
*"Pole Shifts & Climate Change"* by Martin Armstrong "QUESTION: Good morning, Mr. Armstrong. Last week, you wrote about the north and south poles flipping. Has Socrates ever suggested that the earth could flip so that the north and south poles move to where the equator is now; that is, has the earth ever moved sideways? I live in Edmonton, Alberta and, at one time, north-central Alberta lay in the tropics and was characterized by swampy river deltas; the rivers had their sources to the west and flowed into a large lake.

3 Reasons Why Pope Francis Won't Get His Wish: No More Nuclear Weapons
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, * There is a reason why there are still nearly 14,000 nukes in the world today. In fact, there are a few reasons. On November 24, Pope Francis delivered an address with a heartfelt message: the sooner the world eliminates nuclear weapons, the better off humanity will be. Standing behind a podium at the Atomic Bomb Hypocenter Park in Nagasaki, Japan, the Pope made a plea to the world’s nuclear powers to do what they each pledged to do when signing the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty: slash your nuclear stockpiles to zero. Pope Francis couldn’t be any... more »
Let the Debate Begin: 5 Deadliest Machine Guns on Earth
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, * We've got your list. *Key Point:* Not only are they the deadliest machine guns, they're also some of the most effective weapons on the battlefield. The man-portable machine gun is one of the most important weapons in an infantry unit. While improvements in standard-issue assault rifles, marksman rifles, squad automatic weapons, and grenade launchers have all increased the casualty-producing potential of other soldiers in a squad, the full caliber machine gun remains the most effective weapon in a platoon at most ranges.

The U.S. Military Loves This AR-15: Meet the The Geissele Super Duty URG-I

The AR-15 platform’s commonality with the Pentagon’s M4 carbine means that technology developed for the armed services can quickly become available to the civilian world--and vice versa.
