Feds moving in to arrest and federally charge rioters in Portland now
As of August 27th, 74 people have been federally arrested in Portland, Oregon. Mike Schmidt, Multnomah County’s newly elected prosecutor, has said he would dismiss lower-level, non-violent charges against hundreds of people arrested since late May during nightly protests. Felony crimes such as arson, however, will be prosecuted. Since the DA has flatly refused to charge during the riots for certain things, the Feds and the State Troopers have decided to find a way around it. Some of the troopers are now deputized as Federal Marshals. And some of the cases are now filtering to the Fe... more »

Axis Victory? What If Imperial Japan Struck the Soviets Instead of Pearl Harbor?
*Michael Peck* *History, Asia* [image: By 朝日新聞社「週刊20世紀 皇室の100年」, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3798027] Tokyo had, in fact, considered invading the USSR instead of attacking America. *Key point: *If Berlin and Tokyo had both attacked Moscow, them perhaps that could have won. Would America have remained neutral? Fighting a war on two fronts is the military equivalent of driving a car while texting. It’s just a really bad idea, as Germany can attest.

Portland Protest Killing Suspect Acted In Self Defense, Murdered During Arrest

Why This Can't Drop Into the Memory Hole
As I've said on several occasions, the most wonderful and miraculous thing about Donald Trump is his neverending and unfailing, infallible capacity to become a bigger asshole, a more virulent sociopath. Just when you think he's scraping the bottom of the barrel, his double-woven head pops up in China. And then he tops that. In spite of the predictable plethora of election year tell-all books, all of which containing revelations some of us wish weren't true, a thinking person deeply suspects we're getting just the tip of the iceberg, that the most damning and disgusting thi... more »

So much excitement in Lakeside today. Reminds me of a day in June when we watched our neighbor Tom install a window. But today, another neighbor was giving away some furniture--a very nice oak chest.

Lakeside is really rocking. This is Labor Day week-end and there will be a lot of people here for a final good-bye.

Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing
Twenty-five years ago, the United Nations held its Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China—China, of all places, where millions of women are aborted and brutally and coercively sterilized every year. The prepared documents had all those ugly anti-life words we've come to associate with the pro-life movement. On Sept 12, 1995, this letter from Mother Teresa was read to the participants and it had been translated into 6 languages. It was kept a secret until then. For obvious reasons. Even 25 years ago, abortion was very political and the left was winning even then. Dear F... more »
Would you give up your pet?
I noticed this in a farm journal: "What is known is that ferrets, minks, domestic cats, and some dogs have become infected with COVID-19. But neither pets nor farm animals are thought to play significant roles in transmitting COVID-19. " So if your governor asked you to give up your pet in order to be safe, would he have a fight on his hands? Biden wants a lockdown (to be safe) and Trump wants to open up (to be free), so which one would ask for your pet?

A Snowden Pardon Could Have a Snowball Effect on Protecting National Security Secrets

The best explanation currently available for the Beirut blast that killed at least 190, wounded thousands and threatens to crush Lebanon economically, is that the country’s incompetent and corrupt government allowed 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate to sit in the heart of the city’s port, “without safety precautions,” for years, after seizing it from a ... more »

The Accelerationists: The Chinese Kids Who Plan to Blow Up the Party by Egging It On
*Salvatore Babones* *Security, Asia* From the author: "One of their tactics is to swamp official tip lines with reports of minor or even made-up misbehaviors: song lyrics that could be interpreted as unpatriotic, or video games that allow players to break the law. The idea is to break the Party by forcing it to enforce all of its own petty rules." As the Communist Party of China (CPC) approaches its 100th birthday next year, it was hoping for a quiet 2020 to prepare the ground. Instead, it got the coronavirus. Compound that with epic floods, skyrocketing food prices, the mass wi... more »
China's 'Carrier-Killer' Missiles: What Everyone Is Missing
*James Holmes* *Security, * Reports on the missile tests indicated that the DF-26 launch came out of Qinghai, deep in the backcountry of northwestern China. This is significant. It puts Washington and the region on notice that the PLA can target hostile shipping with rocket forces that are virtually invulnerable to counterattack. And, while important, that's just for starters. The “carrier killer” strikes again. This week the Pentagon released its latest annual report on Chinese military power, warning that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has accumulated “staggering amounts o... more »
The U.S. Navy's New Columbia-Class Nuclear Submarines Might Be Delayed
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * Unless stop-gap funding is secured by the U.S. Congress, the Navy won’t have enough money to begin building the first of its new ballistic missile submarines. The U.S. Congress is being asked to pass an emergency spending measure to ensure that the Navy’s new Columbia-class submarines can be laid down for construction, Defense News reported, citing a document the media group had received. According to the cited document, unless Congress intervenes, the first two Columbia-class hulls will be delayed as part of a stopgap measure to prevent a government... more »
China Is Interfering in the 2020 Election. Beijing Wants Trump to Lose.
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Security, Asia* Democratic Party leaders and most mainstream media figures have continued to minimize or ignore the implications of the intelligence community’s assessments of Beijing’s behavior. As the 2020 election approaches, there is growing agitation about possible foreign influence or outright meddling and disruption. Once again, Russia is the principal target of both Democratic Party activists and the mainstream media. That obsession continues even though both the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s subsequen... more »
South Korea’s First Stealth Fighter is Rolling Off Assembly Lines

The Jobs Report Is Great. But America Needs More Economic Stimulus.
*Desmond Lachman* *Economics, * From the author: "Policymakers should focus their attention on the strong headwinds that still confront this recovery. Maybe then they will put aside their political differences and reach a political compromise on a new stimulus program that the economy so sorely still seems to need." Today’s strong employment numbers are certainly a cause for celebration. They leave little doubt that over the past few months the US economy has been on the mend following its deepest economic recession in the past ninety years. However, before popping open the ch... more »
Why would Donald Trump say such things?
*FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2020Concerning the problem with Us:* This site became an anthropology site roughly three years back. At that time, we entered into regular consultation with Future Anthropologists Huddled in Caves, a despondent group of credentialed scholars who report to us from the years which lie beyond the cataclysmic global event they refer to as Mister Trump's War. Under the tutelage of these experts, we've tried to explain the reasons for our badly failed national discourse. Tomorrow, we'll visit the Nordic behaviors once described by Ahman ibn Fadlan.

The Unremarkable Life of Ian Murray
Thanks to *The Times* by way of the ridiculous Corbyn book, *Left Out*, news reaches us that Ian Murray was all set on being the eighth founding member of our old pals The Independent Group/Change UK/The Independent Group for Change. Some might congratulate Murray for making the right decision to stand by the red team, but I'm not one of them. Having pulled out from TIG/CHUK's opening presser at the 11th hour and electing to stay has condemned him to drawing his handsome Westminster salary and getting to play the Big I Am in Scottish politics trading off his last man standing/shado... more »
Someone had WAAAAY too much time on his hands!
I shudder to think how much time, effort, matches and glue went into this. I think, if I'd spent so much time and effort building that, I might have shed a tear or two as I watched my creation destroy itself. Oh, well . . . Peter
From the ER to the High School Football Field, People Want the Response to Covid-19 to Be Evidence-based, not Political
Health officials' confusing double standards about potential Covid-19 therapies and flippant remarks about schools reopening (“You wanna open the bars, or you wanna open the schools?”) have helped propagate mistrust and polarization. The post From the ER to the High School Football Field, People Want the Response to Covid-19 to Be Evidence-based, not Political appeared first on Children's Health Defense.
"Back to School…D’ya Think?"
*"Back to School…D’ya Think?"* by Jim Kunstler "After the spring from hell, and two months of summer staycation, families across the land anxiously await the very dubious reopening of the school year. The Covid-19 virus has revealed structural cracks in the mighty fortress of public education. Some districts remain closed, or only tentatively and partially open. It’s easy to see where this is going. I got a letter this week from a high school physics teacher in New England - who wants to remain anonymous. He writes: “Covid has initiated the death of public ed in America. The state ... more »
"He Wondered..."
"He wondered, as he had many times wondered before, whether he himself was a lunatic. Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. At one time it had been a sign of madness to believe that the earth goes round the sun; today, to believe that the past is unalterable. He might be alone in holding that belief, and if alone, then a lunatic. But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him; the horror was that he might also be wrong. Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth eve... more »
"On Your Own Terms..."
"If the sun is shining, stand in it - yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass - they have to - because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centered. What you are pursuing is meaning - a meaningful life... There are times when it will go so wrong that you will be barely alive, and times when you realize that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms." - Jeanette Winterson

The Poet: Anne Sexton, "Courage"
*"Courage"* "It is in the small things we see it. The child's first step, as awesome as an earthquake. The first time you rode a bike, wallowing up the sidewalk. The first spanking when your heart went on a journey all alone. When they called you crybaby or poor or fatty or crazy and made you into an alien, you drank their acid and concealed it. Later, if you faced the death of bombs and bullets you did not do it with a banner, you did it with only a hat to cover your heart. You did not fondle the weakness inside you, though it was there. Your courage was a small coal that you kept swall... more »

"Our Brains Deliberately Make Us Forget Things To Prevent Insanity"
*"Our Brains Deliberately Make Us Forget * *Things **To Prevent Insanity"* by George Dvorsky "The ability to retain and recall information is an imperfect process even at the best of times - a shortcoming that now appears to be no accident. A new study shows that our brains are actively making us forget unimportant details, and that if it didn't, we'd probably go insane. Indeed, people with so-called "photographic memory," or eidetic memory, claim to be living in a kind of hell. One person with this capacity, Jill Price, complained that: "Most have called it a gift but I call it a b... more »
"Fate. Luck. Chance."
"That is life, isn't it? Fate. Luck. Chance. A long series of what-if's that lead from one moment to the next, time never pausing for you to catch your breath, to make sense of the cards that have been handed to you. And all you can do is play your cards and hope for the best, because in the end, it all comes back to those three basics. Fate. Luck.

If Only the News Told the Truth About Prescription Drugs Like Robin Williams Does in This Video
Robin Williams was always known more for his outrageous antics than his commentary on issues surrounding topics like health and politics, but like most comedians who speak without a filter, he has the ability to absolutely nail it whenever he does. Case in point: the following rant he went on in about prescription drugs and the absurd side effects that come with them. Dozens of comics have offered their own take on drug company side effects but the bit he pulls off at the end is something completely unique, something that is genuinely Robin Williams (like pretty much every he prod... more »

"Coming Soon: A Counterfeit Economy"
*"Coming Soon: A Counterfeit Economy"* By Bill Bonner SAN MARTIN, ARGENTINA – "Do you see what is happening, Dear Reader? We’re entering a new phase. Up until now, the Federal Reserve was backstopping Wall Street. This created a huge shift in wealth from average people – with few financial assets – to the “rich,” who own most of them. But it was fake wealth. That is, the U.S. stock market could easily be cut in half. In a flash, about $17.5 trillion of “wealth” would disappear. A few short sellers – who bet on lower prices – would make money. But most of the $17.5 trillion would si... more »
