DeVos And Charter School Movement Use Pandemic To Advance Agenda
COVID-19 has shuttered public schools across the nation, state governments are threatening to slash education budgets due to the economic collapse caused by the outbreak, and emergency aid provided by the federal government is far short of what is needed, according to a broad coalition of education groups. But the charter school industry may benefit from its unique status to seek public funding from multiple sources and expand these schools into many more communities traumatized by the pandemic and financial fallout. As school districts reported problems converting classroom learn... more »

Shi Zengli Provides Proof SARS COV-2 Was Not An Accidental Release From Lab In Wuhan
On Saturday, I took a deep dive into the origin of SARS CoV-2, the virus that is the cause of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. That post was the result of several long days of deep reading and thinking. Somehow, I missed that Scientific American had put out an update on Friday of their profile of Dr. Shi Zhengli, the scientist responsible for much of what the world knows about bat coronaviruses, including isolating the bat coronavirus from Yunnan Province that is the closest relative to SARS CoV-2 that has been seen in a laboratory. Even worse, commenter Zinsky linked to the Scientifi... more »
Worse Pandemics Are On The Way If We Don’t Protect Nature
A group of biodiversity experts warned that future pandemics are on the horizon if mankind does not stop its rapid destruction of nature. Writing an article published Monday by The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the authors put the responsibility for COVID-19 squarely on our shoulders. "There is a single species that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic – us. As with the climate and biodiversity crises, recent pandemics are a direct consequence of human activity – particularly our global financial and economic systems,... more »
Young Climate Activists Vow To #FightEveryCrisis In Global Online Strike
Barcelona - Instead of taking to the world's streets to demand climate action on Friday as planned before the coronavirus pandemic, young activists from about 20 countries took to Youtube in a 24-hour broadcast to share ideas on how to fight global warming. In recent weeks, lockdown restrictions in many places have made it impossible for the Fridays For Future movement of young people to skip classes and march through cities or hold vigils outside government buildings in their usual Friday protests. As a substitute, they have been posting photos of themselves at home with their b... more »
Trump And Biden Trade Hit Pieces – Distinctions Without A Difference
Behind the blame game between the Democrats and the Republicans is a bedrock consensus, for example, on identifying China as not just a commercial rival but as a future enemy in a nuclear war. The US imperial ship of state is set on a collision course with China. Democrat Obama “pivoted” to Asia; Republican Trump seamlessly followed course. The RAND Corporation, a quasi-governmental think tank created to provide intelligence to the US Armed Forces, published a position paper that spells it out: War with China: Thinking Through the Unthinkable. The corporate media echo the meme of ... more »
COVID-19 Great Depression: Global Ecosocialism Is The Way Out
The abstract science of mathematics is a language like music. But while music is in the realm of pure emotion, the language of mathematics only speaks to the mind not the heart. Numbers and equations do not lie. They are not, by essence, subjective. This being said, when the numbers are those of the dead, they can have the chilling emotional effect of a meat cleaver cutting through bones. While we have tried to stay away from the mainstream media litany of the death tolls, on April 25, 2020, we had passed 200,000 deaths globally. In the United States alone, by the end of April, th... more »
Israel May Ask For Double Its Usual $3.8 Billion From The US This Year
Breaking Defense, a digital magazine that covers military issues, reports that Israel may ask for its U.S. aid early, possibly in a lump sum that could be as high as $7.6 billion. This would work out to almost $21 million per day from American taxpayers, even though the U.S. is approaching a $4 trillion deficit (the largest in the world), and Israel typically has a lower unemployment rate than the United States. The report is by Breaking Defense Israel correspondent Arie Egozi, an Israeli citizen who served in the Israeli military and is close to the Israeli security establishmen... more »
Lewis to the rescue

Nothing wrong with being a Labour activist but for a serious current affairs programme to interview them to the exclusion of anyone else is, well, an interesting editorial decision. *Christian May*: This does seem a bit odd, to put it mildly. *Claire Fox*: A shame.

YouTube censorship: Doctors against China virus lockdown
Two doctors who run urgent care facilities in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Temecula CaliforniaDid an interview in which they said that for economic and health reasons the lock down doesn't make sense. That's hardly controversial in that many people are making the same or similar arguments. They might be wrong but they're hardly nut cases.

Understanding the problems with Climate Change Alarmism
If you believe the #FakeNews media all real scientists support Al Gore's apocalyptic view of the existential crisis we face if people other than Al don't stop producing CO2. The reality is that the only consensus is that the earth is warming, how much is not agreed on, and that some portion, not necessarily even most of that warming, is due to human generated CO2 Of course consensus is meaningless in science. Back in the 1930s only on geologist supported the idea of continental drift and even though there was an overwhelming consensus that he was wrong it turns out he was right. S... more »

Sometimes, it isn’t always clear that you are on the wrong path in life until you are too far down the road to do a quick turn around.

*Peter Suciu* *Security, * It won't be heading to war but will have a critical role to play. To paraphrase an old military catchphrase, "old warbirds never die, they simply rust away." Retired American aircraft are often sent to the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, which has been the site of the largest aviation "boneyard" since the end of the Second World War. Thanks to low humidity that averages in the 10-20% range, meager rainfall of less than 11-inches annually, hard alkaline soil and a high altitude of 2,550 feet, this is the perfect location for the storage of old a... more »
China's Marine Corps Is Getting Larger. Here's Why That Matters.
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* Why is Beijing doing this? On last week's 70th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), Beijing announced that it has created a new unit of Marines. This comes even as China has approved the reduction of its army by 300,000 soldiers. In many it now appears that the shift in military strength is simply moving from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to the PLAN Marine Corps – which according to reports from the U.S. Naval Institute could grow some 400% from 20,000 marines to more than 100,000. This is a major shift in Chinese strateg... more »

Drone Killings Don’t Work, According to This Book
*David Axe* *Security, * David Axe: "America isn’t supposed to assassinate people — Pres. Ronald Reagan had banned the practice. But after the 9/11 attacks, Washington started doing a lot of things it isn’t supposed to do. Assassination — “targeted killing,” in government parlance — was already standard practice in America’s disastrous campaign against Latin American drug kingpins when it also began driving post-9/11 counterterrorism and counterinsurgency strategies."

Expensive HDMI Cables: Just a Scam or a 4K Necessity?
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Technology, * Keep in mind that, theoretically, a more expensive HDMI cable might have fewer errors while transmitting data, but this is entirely different than having better picture quality.

Joseph Mengele the doctor of death at Auschwitz ended his life as an abortionist
It takes a certain kind of person to make their living by killing other people. That's why abortionists tend to be the dregs of the medical profession. Abortion is a highly profitable business especially if the doctor has no problem killing for money. Joseph Mengele was a doctor who performed horrible "experiments" on Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp. He managed to escape to Argentina after WWII where he supported himself by performing illegal abortions. In doing so he was just continuing the Nazi plan which prohibited Aryan women from having abortions but which encouraged... more »
