What '5G Causes Coronavirus' Claims Share With Anti-Ag, Anti-Vax, And Anti-Natural Gas Movements - Russia

Hank Campbell at Science 2.0 blogs - 16 hours ago
It's long been hiding in plain sight that Russia funnels money to activist groups in the U.S. that will help their causes. Russia's top two exports are food and energy so it was no surprise when activists began to claim that hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") would lead to earthquakes or cause the earth to deflate, or that 400 miles of Keystone XL pipeline in addition to 20,000 miles of pipeline on top of an aquifier would be risky. read more

"Death Panels" aren't a joke any more

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
Sarah Palin was pilloried by the mainstream media for her claim that Obamacare would involve what she called "Death Panels" to decide whether or not one would receive appropriate care. However, the coronavirus pandemic has illustrated very clearly that such panels do exist, and that the decisions they take - the priorities they assign to treatment and those who will receive it - are, quite literally, life or death choices. In Spain, a doctor was forthright about it. SPAIN's coronavirus death toll has resulted in hospitals refusing to admit elderly and frail patients into intensive... more »

You’ve Probably Never Heard of the Army's Amazing Little Airlifter

David Axe at The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* Cute and powerful. The silver-painted cargo plane appeared suddenly, zooming at 100 miles per hour, just 150 feet over the mountaintop. A U.S. Army outpost was on that mountain in Marzak, located in eastern Afghanistan’s restive Paktika province. Twin engines roaring, the Turbo Caribou airlifter—registration number N238PT—pulled up sharply. Pallets of food, fuel and equipment slid out of the cargo hold. Parachutes unfurled, slowing the pallets as they tumbled onto the drop zone. Then the Turbo Caribou droned away. That airdrop in January 2012... more »

*Caleb Larson* *Security, Europe* Russia's latest jet has many problems on its hands. *Key point: *Perhaps when it becomes more obvious that the Su-35S and other aircraft are unable to fulfill their missions, we’ll see more Su-57s in the air. All the cards are stacked against the Su-57 — the price of oil is low, it’s engines are no better than its predecessors, and the current airframes it would replace are doing just fine. *Less Money, More Problems* Russia depends on oil and gas for revenue. If these energy exports would slow to a trickle — or when the price for these exports... more »
