Why the U.S. Army (of the 1800s) Would Understand China's South China Sea Strategy

James Holmes at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* "Southeast Asians—and lovers of freedom of the sea everywhere—must come to terms with China’s bid for sovereignty.

“The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage to remain silent. Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts, movies, presenters... there is no alternative but to fill the screen; otherwise there would be an irremediable void. That's why the slightest technical hitch, the slightest slip on the part of the presenter becomes so exciting, for it reveals the depth of the emptiness squinting out at us through this little window.” - Jean Baudrillard

“You know, we never see the world exactly as it is. We see it as we hope it will be or we fear it might be. And we spend our lives going through a sort of modified stages of grief about that realization. And we deny it, and then we argue with it, and we despair over it. But eventually - and this is my belief - that we come to see it, not as despairing, but as vitalizing. We never see the world exactly as it is because *we* are how the world is.” - Maria Popova

However, writing should be the place for originality. A place where we solve the problems of theory that informs action. It is here where I would like to address a kind of Othering.

The Blue Plague And Black Death

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
The pathogen that kills Black people at two and a half times the rate of whites took the life of 46 year-old George Floyd, this week in Minneapolis. Floyd’s last words were, “I can’t breathe,” much like the desperate utterances of plague victim Eric Garner, struck down in 2014 in New York City. Unlike the still raging Covid-19 virus, which is virulent among Blacks of both sexes, the Blue Plague is especially lethal to Black males of all ages. According to researchers at Rutgers University and the University of Michigan, 1 in every 1,000 black boys and me will be fatally stricken... more »

Veterans For Peace Calls on the Minnesota National Guard to Stand Down

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
Veterans For Peace calls for the immediate withdrawal of the Minnesota National Guard. We are appalled to see military weapons, vehicles and equipment once again deployed in U.S. cities to control community members who are reacting to a long history of state-sanctioned violence. When an already embattled community is subjected to militarized intimidation, by design, their environment becomes a war zone. We call on all those who are serving with the National Guard to refuse to serve violent and racist interests. Veterans For Peace denounces the ongoing instances of police violence ... more »

How Letting Go Of Attachments With Love, Can Improve Relationships

Natalie Porter at Enlightened Consciousness - 13 hours ago
Emotionally detaching from a loved one doesn’t mean you emotionally unavailable. Neither does it mean that you won’t have a healthy relationship again. It merely means that even though you love that person, you have to let them go. It is about becoming free to heal your heart so that you can love again. Getting attached to someone we care about, and love is healthy, yet codependent attachments can cause pain and problems in any relationship. Becoming overly attached is not love; it is needy. Do your moods and happiness depend on others? Do you have strong emotional reactions to o... more »

Minneapolis Riots Are Reminder That Police Don’t Protect You Or Your Property

Ragnar at 'Nox & Friends - 14 hours ago
From ZeroHedge: Excerpts: Looting and arson have followed what began as peaceful protests in response to the apparent killing of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin, a now-former member of the Minneapolis Police Department. But whatever was the spark that set off the current round of rioting in the Twin Cities area, it is clear that most property owners and residents will have to fend for themselves where riots have taken place. In other words, any unfortunate shopkeeper or resident who finds himself in the path of the rioters ought to just assume that police won’t be around to provide any... more »

The “logos,” which the ancients regarded as the hidden principle in the universe, is a voice or a word—it’s a sort of super-word or a god. When we speak, the sounds that we create are closer to the super-word or god, but our writing is marked by an... more »
