Bolivians Continue To Block Hundreds Of Roads
The national strike and nationwide road blockades, called for by the Bolivian Workers’ Center (COB) against the postponement of general elections, have intensified across Bolivia. The number of interdepartmental and interprovincial highways and roads and interior streets in big cities blocked by citizens, to pressurize the coup-installed government to reverse its decision to delay the elections, increased from 24 to 140 within a week. Social movements, trade unions, Indigenous and peasant organizations began the measures of protest last Monday, on August 3, to demand restoration of... more »
US Seizes Iranian Oil From Four Tankers En Route To Venezuela
The Trump administration has seized the cargo of four tankers it was targeting for transporting Iranian fuel to Venezuela, U.S. officials said Thursday, as it steps up its campaign of maximum pressure against the two heavily sanctioned allies. Last month, federal prosecutors in Washington filed a civil forfeiture complaint alleging that the sale was arranged by a businessman with ties to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. At the time, sanctions experts thought it would be impossible to enforce the U.S. court order in international w... more »
US Space Force Faults Russia, China For ‘Militarizing Space’
US defense leaders have firmly pointed the finger at Russia and China as the raison d’etre for the US Space Force (USSF), claiming the nations have “militarized space,” requiring the US to respond. However, what is really threatened is US space superiority, as the Pentagon has tested space weapons for decades. US Space Command has raised warning bells about the challenging of US superiority in space since at least its 1997 “Vision for 2020,” but it was only in December 2019 that the USSF was formally created by US President Donald Trump. In February 2020, Space Force Chief of Spac... more »
Tennessee Lawmakers Pass Bill Making Some Acts Of Protest Felonies
The Tennessee legislature passed a sweeping proposal on Wednesday that would increase penalties against some protesters who have camped outside the statehouse in Nashville for months demanding racial justice and an end to police brutality. State lawmakers in the majority-white Tennessee General Assembly passed the measure in a nearly party-line vote in both chambers. The bill, which is now headed to Republican Gov. Bill Lee’s desk, would punish those who illegally camp on state property — as protesters have outside the state Capitol for months — with a Class E felony rather than a... more »
Minneapolis Reneging On George Floyd Promises
At the height of the Minneapolis rebellion, a majority of the city council announced they would move towards “disbanding” their police force, in response to Black Lives Matter “abolition” demands. It turned out that what the councilpersons were actually proposing was a name change, retaining a force of armed cops in a new “Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention” with a “holistic, public health-oriented” mission. But even this palliative was too much for the Minneapolis Charter Commission, which voted to delay putting the police reorganization question on the Novembe... more »
When Impossible Becomes Inevitable: The Fall Of ‘Petty Racism’
The removal of Confederate statues around Richmond, Va., had a personal resonance for me, a Richmond native who once lived around the corner from the Robert E. Lee monument – the only one of the five monuments to rebel figures still (as I write this) standing on Monument Avenue. I used to go jogging on the avenue’s median starting at Lee, veering around Jefferson Davis and turning to retrace my steps as I approached Stonewall Jackson. As Leon Trotsky said, “revolution is impossible until it’s inevitable.” He spoke from experience; the socialist revolution he sought seemed stuck in ... more »

The Sinister Side of the Black Lives Matter Movement
[image: the-sinister-side-of-the-black-lives-matter-movement] Every time I hear someone say Black Lives Matter, I’m reminded of the legitimate cry of most black Americans who wanted to be treated “equally.” But that is not what the BLM movement is about.
Twitter Mob: Using Biden’s Own Words in an Edgy Cartoon Is Racist
[image: twitter-mob-using-biden-s-own-words-in-an-edgy-cartoon-is-racist] The Left has declared, apparently, that jokes or snarky commentary about Joe Biden must pass muster with the mob, the corollary to which is that jokes and wisecracks about Kamala Harris will be off-limits entirely.
Did Biden Make This Statement About Democracy During a Pandemic?
"We can both have a democracy and elections and at the same time protect the public health," the Democratic presidential contender declared.
Trans-Pacific shipping: mixed signals
It's hard to make sense of the current state of US trade with the Far East, particularly China. On the one hand, we know that the COVID-19 pandemic clobbered container shipping some months ago, as we discussed in these pages on more than one occasion. We also know that importers who would normally have their Christmas orders already on the water, with some already in the USA at warehouses, have been markedly slower about that this year. GCaptain reports: Imports at major U.S. container seaports could hit their lowest level in four years as the novel coronavirus pandemic pummels ... more »

A Fast Inflatable Sail Using Desorption

China's H-20 Stealth Bomber Is Only A Few Years Away (Or Not?)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The H-20 will also likely be capable of carrying nuclear weapons, finally giving China a full triad of nuclear-capable submarines, ballistic missiles and bombers. *Here's What You need To Remember: *Analysts forecast the H-20’s first flight in the early 2020s, with production possibly beginning around 2025. If the H-20 is judged to be of credible design, the Pentagon in turn will have to factor the strategic implications of China’s stealth capabilities, and will likely seek to field implement counter-stealth technologies which formerly have been m... more »
Consumption is not a part of GDP
I used to teach my students that consumption was roughly 2/3rds of GDP. Actually, consumption is not a part of GDP. Consider this analogy. You have an annual income of $100,000. You might say: 1. Income = wages + capital income You might also say: 2. Income = consumption + saving + taxes And you […] The post Consumption is not a part of GDP appeared first on Econlib.
The Marginal Revolutionaries: Wasserman’s Value Added
In the world since the 2017 publication of Democracy in Chains, Nancy MacLean’s near-slanderous “history” of public choice economics and the contributions of James Buchanan, it is understandable that a reader sympathetic to Austrian economics might approach Janek Wasserman’s 2019 history of that school of thought with some trepidation. The good news is that Wasserman’s […] The post The Marginal Revolutionaries: Wasserman’s Value Added appeared first on Econlib.

China Likes to Brag, But the J-20 Is No F-22 Stealth Fighter
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_GF10000193657&share=true] The F-22 was the best when it was built and it is still upgraded to this day. The Chinese engineer who built the fifth-generation J-20 stealth fighter says the new aircraft is vastly superior to the U.S.-built F-22 stealth fighter by virtue of being engineered more than a decade later and incorporating or even “stealing” U.S. fifth-generation technical attributes. “China’s J-20 was inspired by the F-22’s deployment.
