Paul Gallagher on the Meltdown of the Financial System
Excerpt: Paul Gallagher on Global Financial Situation Video of Excerpt: Paul Gallagher on Global Financial Situation Listen to Paul Gallagher's 17-minute briefing on the meltdown of the system, the Federal Reserve's mad money-pumping response, and how LaRouche's Four Laws represent the only sane response. You are now living through the end of a system, manifesting itself in the outbreak of the corona virus and the accompanying implosion of the one-quadrillion-dollar-plus speculative bubble. When that system was created in 1971, Lyndon LaRouche warned that it was foredoomed, havin... more »
Foreign Correspondent: Am I the Next Typhoid Mary? My First-Hand Account Of Coronavirus Quarantine, After A Trip To Iran.
*Erlich wears protective clothing when interacting with family* *This story was supported by the Pulitzer Center* *-by Reese Erlich* @ReeseErlich On February 22, I left Iran after a week of covering the country’s parliamentary elections. Ten days later, my nose started running like a faucet. Normally, I would assume it’s a cold, pop some antihistamines, and proceed with my work. But these are not normal times. Symptoms of the coronavirus include heavy breathing, fever, cough, and—yes—a runny nose. To be on the safe side, I decided to visit Kaiser Oakland, my ever-so-friendly healt... more »
How Long Will Coronavirus In A Cough Stay In The Air?
Though COVID-19 as a disease is rather difficult to get, spreading the coronavirus itself is as easy as spreading influenza viruses. The big risks will be from a sneeze, though COVID-19 doesn't have much sneezing, or a cough, or touching someone's hands who did either and then touching your own face. Why do people subconsciously touch their face if they felt something weird on their hands? That is a mystery of psychology, but it's why that is the best deterrent to catching coronavirus or spreading it. Yet if someone sneezes and you don't touch their hand, how long will the virus i... more »

Dead: This Old 2013 War Game Proves Aircraft Carriers Can Still Be Sunk
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2008%3Anewsml_GM1E44S1GCO01&share=true] Is the Navy ready for it in real life? *Key point:* Several American allies have successfully destroyed carriers in previous exercises.

How Hitler Used Jailed Time to Help Himself Rise to Power
*David Axe* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_LR1EC180S94BF&share=true] Just awful. *Key point:* Time in prison let him write his manifesto and cultivate his cult of personality. The book would become very popular, and aid the Nazis' in upcoming elections. On April 1, 1924, 34-year-old Adolf Hitler — a socially awkward painter and former soldier from Austria — arrived at Landsberg prison in Bavaria to serve a five-year sentence for organizing a failed coup that got 18 men killed, including four policemen. *(This a... more »
The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence and Future of National Security
*Lori Robinson, Michael O'Hanlon* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Many of the artificial intelligence systems being envisioned today will take decades to develop. Artificial intelligence is all the rage these days. In the popular media, regular cyber systems seem almost passe, as writers focus on AI and conjure up images of everything from real-life Terminator robots to more benign companions. In intelligence circles, China’s uses of closed-circuit television, facial recognition technology, and other monitoring systems suggest the arrival of Big Brother—if not quite in 1984... more »
Caveat Emptor: Why China's Cheap Military Drones Are so Cheap

China’s CH-4 killer drone appears to be falling out of favor with some of its major operators. *This first appeared in August 2019 and is being reposted due to reader interest.* The Iraqi air force is down to just one operational CH-4 out of a fleet of around 10, a... more »
The Real Coronavirus Threat Everyone Is Missing
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Politics, * Worries about the threat the coronavirus posed to public health are entirely understandable. The disease spreads easily and has a disturbingly high mortality rate among its victims (especially the elderly).

What Are Putin’s Real Presidential Plans?
*George Beebe* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Vladimir Putin openly acceded to the Duma’s “request” that it pass a law enabling him to remain president until 2036 if voters approve. Many observers believe that this had been his plan all along, that his earlier coyness was simply a clever means of testing how much support he might have for end-running constitutional restrictions on his time in office. There is a revealing scene in the movie *Tequila Sunrise,* in which Mel Gibson’s character laments his difficulty in getting out of the cocaine-dealing business. He wants to s... more »
Could the Coronavirus Cost Donald Trump the Presidency?
*W. James Antle III* *Politics, * If we are still practicing "social distancing" come the fall, Trump's reelection will itself look like a distant goal. President Trump declared a national emergency over the rapidly spreading coronavirus. It is also an emergency for his reelection campaign. Despite his polarizing nature, or perhaps because of it, Trump entered 2020 surprisingly well-positioned for a second term. Impeachment not only failed to remove him from office but left him with some of the highest job approval ratings of his presidency. Hovering just below 50 percent, Trump ... more »

The Royal Navy may already have identified a possible replacement for its Type 45 destroyers. A version of the new Type 26 frigate, which should enter service with the U.K. fleet in the mid-2020s, ultimately could replace the air-defense-optimized Type 45s beginning in the 2030s. The prospect of developing an air-defense variant of the Type 26 offers some hope to the United Kingdom’s beleaguered naval shipbuild... more »

Commentaries, Analysis, And Editorials -- March 13, 2020
*Jason Beaubien, NPR: **Singapore Wins Praise For Its COVID-19 Strategy. The U.S. Does Not* Hong Kong and Singapore were hit early with the coronavirus. But each now has fewer than 200 cases, while France, Germany and Spain, which were hit late, all have more than 10 times that number. Three weeks ago, Italy had only three cases. Now it has more than 10,000. These dramatic differences show that how governments respond to this virus matters, says Mike Ryan, the World Health Organization's head of emergencies.

After an Iranian backed missile attack on a base in Iraq killed two Americans and a Brit the US retaliated killing General Siamand Mashhadani a top official in the Iranian Revolutionary guard.

What tyrants care about is their own skins and the well being of themselves and their families.... more »
