How Climate Talk Got Crazy
Originally posted on Science Matters: Dr. Arnd Bernaerts in a recent article provides the historical context necessary to get our bearings straight despite today’s overheated, bizarre media-drenched tirades. As he explains, climate has always been particular and personal, not global or objective. And that has led us into our current impasse, unable to talk productively…
Ron Paul's Liberty Year in Review
How did peace and liberty do in 2019? Are we successfully making the case for a peaceful foreign policy and pushing back against the police state at home? Ron Paul Institute founder Ron Paul sits down with Institute director Daniel McAdams to look back over the year at the Ron Paul Institute and to lay out plans for the big year ahead! Please consider taking advantage of the tax benefits of making a year-end, tax deductible donation to the Ron Paul Institute before midnight on December 31st! We know their system of endless war and intervention are failing. More importantly, they know... more »
Russia's APS Spetsnaz Rifle Can Fire Underwater, But How Good Is It?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Europe* We take a look. *Key point: *The APS is so specialized for underwater use it is not a very good land weapon. The widespread use of combat divers, more commonly known as frogmen, led to the inevitable question: how do frogmen from opposing sides kill each other when they meet underwater? In response, during the 1970s the Soviet Union developed an underwater assault rifle, the APS, that is still used by Russia today. The unusual-looking weapon is so uniquely suited to fighting under the surface of the waves it rapidly degrades if used on land. T... more »

How 335,000,000 People Could Die in a Nuclear War in 3 Days
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * While the threat of nuclear war between the United States and Soviet Union has ended, the United States now faces the prospect of a similar war with Russia or China. *Key point: *It's even worse today than during the Cold War. It is no exaggeration to say that for those who grew up during the Cold War, all-out nuclear war was “the ultimate nightmare.” The prospect of an ordinary day interrupted by air-raid sirens, klaxons and the searing heat of a thermonuclear explosion was a very real, albeit remote, possibility. Television shows such as *The Day A... more »
For Sale! Russia Is Showing Off Its Su-35 Stealth Fighter
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * Russia wants money. *Key point: *While prolonged aerial refueling footage is hardly exciting from a military hardware viewpoint, a series of videos demonstrating the Su-57 as a viable, near-finished product can prove useful as part of a larger Russian campaign to woo prospective investors. Footage recently released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows Russia's flagship fifth-generation stealth fighter, the Su-57, being aerially refueled by an Il-78 tanker. Before this, the Su-57 can be seen imitating a refueling formation behind an An-12 transpo... more »
"'Decline Is Now Inevitable' - Dennis Meadows On 'The Limits To Growth"
*"'Decline Is Now Inevitable' - * *Dennis Meadows On 'The Limits To Growth"* by Adam Taggart "Fifty years ago, an international team of researchers was commissioned by the Club of Rome to build a computer simulation of exponential economic and population growth on a finite planet. In 1971, its findings were first released in Moscow and Rio de Janeiro, and later published in 1972 under the title 'The Limits To Growth'. The report concluded: Given business as usual, i.e., no changes to historical growth trends, the limits to growth on earth would become evident by 2072, leading to “s... more »

No F-35, No Sweat: 'Cheap And Effective' Fighters Like The F-5E are Killers in the Sky
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Americas* Yet the F-5EM still remains an outclassed fighter in modern air combat due to its shortcomings and old-school design. *Key point: *The F-5E modernization program continued through the 2000s and 2010s, with the final jet being delivered in 2013. The F-5E “Tiger” is one of U.S. aerospace industry’s largest export successes. Designed as a budget lightweight fighter, the F-5E is still operated by many nations around the world despite the availability of more modern fighters. Its continued service is enabled by miniaturization of electronics, whic... more »
These 5 Weapons Make the U.S. Marines Unbeatable
*TNI Staff* *Security, * These five systems are impressive. *Key point: *The Marines—as a specialized amphibious force—argue that they need unique hardware to conduct their unique missions. The U.S. Marine Corps prides itself on being America’s 911 force—a fire brigade that the president can call upon to fight the nation’s battles in an emergency. Though the Marines have largely been treated as a de facto second land army over the past dozen years, the service is an integral component of the Department of the Navy and is primarily a maritime force.

Three Entitled Multi-Billionaires Think They Can Buy The Presidency
Trump may or may not be a billionaire. He claims he is and he certainly will be after he leaves office. But no one knows for sure because he hides his assets and transactions, most of which are unethical-- at best-- and criminal for the most part. But we’ll count him as a billionaire for the sake of this post. He certainly loudly and insistently claims he is. The other two are a Democrat, Tom Steyer, and a whatever serves his shifting interests, Michael Bloomberg, currently pretending-- laughably-- to be a Democrat. All three seem to believe they can buy elections. Bloomberg, and ... more »

Eight years ago the U.S. Navy retired: A) Its only dedicated carrier-based tanker; B) its last dedicated carrier-based antisubmarine airplane; C) a carrier-based plane with more than twice the range of its current jets; D) all of the above. With a maximum speed of only five hundred miles per hour—many airliners fly faster—the S-3 Viking wasn’t about to be the subject of any movies starring T... more »
China Built Its J-20 Stealth Fighter Without A Gun
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* Today most of the world's fighters possess a gun. The J-20 is the exception. *Key point: *The Chinese air force eventually might learn what the U.S. Air Force learned two generations ago over Vietnam. Giving up the gun is risky. China's J-20 stealth fighter doesn't have a gun. That could be a problem for the Chinese air force. Observers of the twin-engine stealth fighter long had speculated that the J-20 lacks a cannon. Photography of J-20s since the type's first flight in January 2011 hadn't revealed bulges or openings that might point to an interna... more »

Disaster Looms as Antibiotics Lose Their Efficacy
Here is a telling report from the left wind New York Times actually accurately reporting a crisis we face with infectious diseases. For many reasons outlined, companies that develop antibiotics simply aren’t making it. The reasons are many. I’ll outline a few. New drug development is extremely costly due to regulatory requirements. A new antibiotic course of therapy might cost $2000 compared to a few dollars per pill of older drugs. Doctors are (at last) more reluctant to jump on the wagon with a new drug, wanting to save it for an untreatable infection. Financial rewards for antib... more »

Where are the taxes we pay going?
I have noticed, in my 60 odd years on this earth, that most of us just accept that death and taxes are the only sure things on this earth. We have accepted the fact that we have to pay taxes, and at some point in time we won’t pay taxes because we will not be on this earth. The question I have for you, today, is about these tax dollars we are paying. Where are the dollars going? Does it really cost that much to study the sexual life of a slug? Do we as a nation need to pay … Continue reading →

Mr. Kool vs. Bayou Jeaux
College Football Playoff Semi-Final Oklahoma Sooners vs. The LSU Tigers Saturday in Atlanta, Oklahoma and LSU will meet for only the third time in their long gridiron histories. The last time was the Sugar Bowl 2003 National Championship Game. Oklahoma was heavily favored but came up short, and a guy named Saban put the football world on notice. As we await the Saturday's playoff, I find myself puzzled that the Sports Monkeys and Vegas are so convinced the Sooners are a two touchdown underdog to the Tigers. Sure, Oklahoma didn't mow down their competition like LSU did most all y... more »

“Hannah Arendt on Time, Space, And Where Our Thinking Ego Resides”
*“Hannah Arendt on Time, Space, * *And Where Our Thinking Ego Resides”* “The everywhere of thought is indeed a region of nowhere.” by Maria Popova "In Lewis Carroll’s 'Through the Looking Glass,' the White Queen remembers the future instead of the past. This seemingly nonsensical proposition, like so many elements of the beloved book, is a stroke of philosophical genius and prescience on behalf of Lewis Carroll, made half a century before Einstein and Gödel challenged our linear conception of time.

"Scenes That Never Were, In This Life..."
"Thus, a strain of gentle music, or the rippling of water in a silent place, or the odor of a flower, or the mention of a familiar word, will sometimes call up sudden dim remembrances of scenes that never were, in this life; which vanish like a breath; which some brief memory of a happier existence, long gone by, would seem to have awakened; which no voluntary exertion of the mind can ever recall." - Charles Dickens CSNY, “Deja Vu” "We're only here for a short while.

"Wherever You Look..."
"When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step. Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life. Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn't to be found anywhere. There is only... more »

*"I Am Here - I Am Here..."* by Victor Frankl "An active life serves the purpose of giving man the opportunity to realize values in creative work, while a passive life of enjoyment affords him the opportunity to obtain fulfillment in experiencing beauty, art, or nature. But there is also purpose in that life which is almost barren of both creation and enjoyment and which admits of but one possibility of high moral behavior: namely, in man's attitude to his existence, an existence restricted by external forces. A creative life and a life of enjoyment are banned to him. But not only ... more »
