No Stealth Jets For You: How Pakistan Is Making Due With The JF-17 Thunder
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * It should not be underestimated. *Key point*: The Thunder, which first flew in 2003, is a no-nonsense evolution of the MiG-21. In the 2019 Paris Air Show, Pakistan its lightweight JF-17 Thunder jet fighter it began building a decade ago in conjunction with China. You can see the seven-ton fighter performing maneuvers in this video. Just a few months earlier, Pakistan dispatched what it claimed to be twenty-five JF-17s to launch a lightning strike across the Line of Control on targets in Kashmir, in retaliation for an Indian air raid on a JeM terr... more »
How Should The Federal Reserve Respond To The Next Recession? We Have An Answer
*Desmond Lachman* *Economics, * Hopefully, when the next economic recession comes along, policymakers will draw a distinction between quantitative easing and helicopter money. It is unfortunate that just as a serious debate has gotten underway as to how the Federal Reserve should best respond to the next US economic recession, people who should know better fail to draw a distinction between quantitative easing and helicopter money. A prime example of this failure was provided by Willem Buiter, a distinguished economic professor, in a very recent Financial Times op-ed. Mr. Buite... more »
Rethinking A Crisis: Prescriptions Aren't To Blame For America's Opioid Addiction
*Jeffrey A. Singer* *Society, Americas* What is may surprise you. A new study reported in the November 1, 2019 *Annals of Emergency Medicine *pours more cold water on the false but persistent narrative that the opioid overdose crisis was caused by doctors prescribing opioids to patients in pain. This prospective cohort study by researchers in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine followed 484 “opioid naïve” patients prescribed opioids for acute pain upon release from the emergency department during a six month period.

Man paralyzed by vaccine: manufacturers have complete immunity of the side effects and damages caused by their vaccines
From naturalnews.com Americans who dare to oppose mandatory vaccination for any reason, including that they don’t believe that all vaccines are safe, are often ridiculed, marginalized and minimized by Big Pharma vaccine pushers and the mainstream medical community.

a Uighur woman in the Netherlands
12-14-19 *Earlier* this week a Uighur woman in the Netherlands told a Dutch daily,* de Volkskrant*, that she was the source of the documents published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The woman, Asiye Abdulaheb, said that after she posted one page on social media in June, Chinese state agents sent her death threats and tried to recruit her ex-husband to spy on her.

'Don't enter the water, don't eat the shellfish': Slimy, smelly algae blankets bay near Port Arthur

Aircraft Carrier Showdown: The Falklands War Nearly Set A World-First Record For Naval Warfare
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Latin America* Two modern aircraft carriers almost went head-to-head. *Key point:* Mild weather saved the day. On the afternoon of May 1, 1982, crewmen on the deck of the Argentine carrier *Veinticinco de Mayo *(“May 25”) scrambled to load six A-4Q Skyhawk attack planes with four Mark 82 bombs each. The subsonic jets were to be the tip of the spear of Argentine Navy Task Force 79 as it attacked a British Royal Navy fleet roughly 140 miles away, including the carriers *Hermes *and *Invincible*, eight escorting destroyers and fifteen frigates.

Would You Work For The Bloomberg Campaign?
*Politico* noted yesterday that the Bloomberg campaign is on a hiring spree. What reporter Sally Goldenberg didn't mention, however, is that there is no one out there left to hire but the dregs. All the vaguely competent political operatives-- plus scores of second, third and fourth tier operatives-- have already signed on to other campaigns-- presidential, senatorial, congressional, gubernatorial, etc. There's pretty much nothing left but the garbage. (By all means, do see the spoofy video-- that caused Bloomberg to fire the creator-- below.) As for the dregs Bloomberg is hiring.... more »

The U.S. Navy And China Want To Kill Each Other's Aircraft Carriers
*James Holmes* *Security, * Chinese missiles vs. American strike groups. *Key point:* China is focusing on its near-abroad, while the Navy is better prepared for conflict on the open seas. Ah, yes, the “carrier-killer.” China is forever *touting* the array of guided missiles its weaponeers have devised to pummel U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (CVNs). Most prominent among them are its DF-21D and DF-26 antiship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), which the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has made a mainstay of China’s *anti-access/area-denial* (A2/AD) defenses. Beijing has ma... more »
Report: The U.S. Could Run Out of Smart Bombs
*Michael Peck* *Security, Americas* [image: Smart Bombs] And you can't fight a modern war without them. Since the 1980s, smart bombs have become the wonder weapons of modern warfare. One laser- or GPS-guided bomb can hit a target where a dozen dumb bombs from a World War II bomber would have missed. But precision-guided munitions, or PGMs, don’t do much good if you don’t have enough of them. “Current operations have demonstrated a large demand for all types of PGMs,” warns a report by the Congressional Research Service, which is Congress’s research arm. “A potential high-intensi... more »
Here's Why 24 F-22 Raptors Suddenly Went Airborne Last Spring
*David Axe* *Security, * An important wargame. *Key point: *The presence in the elephant walk of one of Elmendorf's C-17s is notable. A U.S. Air Force wing in Alaska managed to launch 24 F-22 Raptor stealth fighters plus an E-3 radar plane and a C-17 transport, all in quick succession. The dramatic "elephant walk" at Elmendorf Air Force Base was more than an impressive photo-op. It showed off much of the new, bigger F-22 force at the base, underscored the resident 3rd Wing's apparently improving maintenance capabilities and underscored the Air Force's evolving strategy for dep... more »

"Reality Avoidance"
*"Reality Avoidance"* by Morris Berman "It’s quite amazing how the news is endlessly about race, or gender, or an election that is 1.5 yrs away. Filler, is what I call it. Very little of this has anything to do with reality, which the Mainstream Media and the American people avoid like the plague. What then is real? 1. The empire is in decline; every day, life here gets a little bit worse; all our institutions are corrupt to varying degrees; and there is no turning this situation around. 2. A crucial factor in this decline and irreversibility is the low level of intelligence of th... more »

"Four Big Banks Are at the Root of Problematic Fed Repo Operations"
*"Four Big Banks Are at the Root of Problematic Fed Repo Operations"* by Birch Gold Group "In 2008, the “freezing of the repo markets was one of the most damaging aspects” of the financial crisis, according to a report by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). This detail sets the stage for an eerie revelation contained in the same report: that four major banks sit at the root of the recent repo crisis that started back in September. First, a quick refresh on what “repo transactions” are, directly from the BIS report itself: "A repo transaction is a short-term (usually overnig... more »

Perfidious Politics - Goodbye, Andrew Scheer; Goodbye Jeremy Corbyn

*BREXIT* UK 2019 Voting Map The election marked a sharp realignment of the country’s election map along lines shaped by Brexit. Boris Johnson ran on a platform to “get Brexit done,” a promise that seemed to win over areas that had voted to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum. The voting map, left, reminds me of the 2016 voting map where President Trump crushed Hillary. News pundits are suggesting that PM Boris Johnson might be a tool of Vladimir Putin because his first name is "Boris", which just happens to be the first name of a cartoon spy character from the Rocky an... more »
Inspector General report on FBI's FISA abuse tells us one thing: We need radical reform.
[image: undefined] In a bombshell report last week, the Justice Department Inspector General found that the Federal Bureau of Investigation made “fundamental errors” and persistently deceived a secret court to authorize surveilling a 2016 Trump presidential campaign official. Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not find that the FBI’s actions were spurred by political bias but that conclusion is not necessarily shared by Attorney General William Barr. Unfortunately, this is only the latest episode of decades of FBI misconduct before America’s most powerful secret court. Perhap... more »
Afghanistan: Graveyard of Empires
[image: undefined] “In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.”. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn This week, the venerable Washington Post newspaper revealed a bombshell, 2,000 page, secret Pentagon report detailing the astounding failure of US war strategy in Afghanistan, America’s longest war. Americans have been fed a steady stream of lies about the Afghan War, concluded the Post. So asserted this writer in "American Conservative" magazine in 2003 when the US invaded Afghanistan.

But when it comes to what America’s prescription drug makers have done to drive one of the ghastliest addiction crises in the country’s history, he confesses amazement. “I used to think that there was nothing more reprehensible than what the tobacco industry did in suppressing what it knew about the adverse effects of an addictive and dangerous product,” says B... more »

Friendship groups
StewGreen has pointed out a *Guardian *article about BBC election bias that might well tempt BBC types into their 'complaints from both sides' mantra, but oughtn't to. The vicious far-left/EU-fanatic Twitter bubble that terrified the BBC during the election, spraying nonsense over them, apparently made such BBC types feel deeply uncomfortable in their everyday lives. Fran Unsworth, the BBC's director of news and current affairs, has been defending herself to the *Guardian*. The line (highlighted by Stew) from the *Guardian* inadvertantly says a lot: BBC journalists based in Lon... more »

A Gun Only for the Rich: The Crazy Dangerous FK BRNO 7.5 Field Pistol
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* [image: Field Pistol] But is it worth it? The FK BRNO 7.5 Field Pistol made quite a splash when it landed in the United States. A $7,500 pistol that fired a proprietary 7.5mm round, most derided it as a mantlepiece pistol for the extremely rich. But marketing for the pistol suggests a variety of practical uses for the pistol, from combat to hunting. Is there any validity to those claims? A good first place to start looking is the 7.5mm round. When one looks at the proprietary 7.5x27mm FK Brno round used in the Field Pistol, it resembles a PDW c... more »
Twenty Years Ago, Nuclear-Armed India and Pakistan Fought a Chilly, High-Altitude War in the Himalayas
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* Was a nuclear war possible? For years, there was a conceit that no two states with nuclear weapons have ever directly fought each other. That conceit has at times been thin. For example, during the Korean War, Soviet air force regiments battled U.S. jet fighters in support of North Korea. But Washington as much as Moscow refrained from pointing out that thinly-veiled fact, lest it escalate tensions. But when thousands of Pakistani troops infiltrated across the Line of Control in 1999, separating the Indian and Pakistani-controlled territories... more »
