Our summer of riots, but where was the Guard?
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
I don't know if Antifa is proud that the national guard is being called out in the state capitals for a paltry, weak, disorganized mob or angry. They've been rioting since Memorial Day week-end and have staged 4 riots just since January 6 in Portland. This is what they've birthed and no one is celebrating their baby! Pelosi said, "People will do what they do," and Kamala Harris raised bail money for them.

UN Expert: End US Sanctions On Syria
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
An independent United Nations expert is calling on the US to lift its crippling sanctions on Syria. Under the Caesar Act, US sanctions explicitly target Syria’s reconstruction in the aftermath of a catastrophic 10-year war. Alena Douhan, the UN Special Rapporteur on the impact of sanctions, says that the US sanctions are illegal and depriving Syrian civilians of their basic needs. “People shouldn’t die, people shouldn’t suffer, and people shouldn’t fear whether they can survive after tomorrow, because they have neither medicine or food, because of the sanctions applied,” Douhan sa...

Former New York Times reporter Chris Hedges went on the Jimmy Dore Show this week to discuss the roots of rage in Tinderbox America. “The reaction by CNN and the mainstream media was quite frightening,” Hedges told Dore. “All they did was demonize the people in the crowd, which isn’t in any way to condone what they did. But unless we investigate the roots of this rage, the rupture of these social bonds, the deep betrayal, then these divisions and the rage that comes with it, is only going to grow.” “We should not have deleted Trump from Twitter and other social media platforms,” ...

Ecuador’s Election Promises Advance For Socialism In Latin America

Four years after turncoat Lenin Moreno claimed the presidency and turned the country inside out, Ecuador will elect a new president on February 7, 2021.

After winning the presidency in 2017, Moreno turned his back on his predecessor and nominator Rafael Correa and double-crossed the PAIS Alliance party they both belonged to. Moreno is widely despi...
The US Economy Could Use Some ‘Overheating’
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
Recent proposals for large-scale fiscal relief and recovery from the economic effects of COVID-19 have drawn criticism that they could lead to “overheating” of the U.S. economy. These criticisms should be ignored. Proposals under discussion—including Biden’s economic plan introduced tonight—are highly unlikely to lead to any durable uptick in inflation or interest rates (the normal indicators of “overheating”) and even if they did, these higher interest rates and inflation would be a welcome sign of economic healing, not something to worry about. Warnings about economic “overheati...

The Capitol Was Stormed Long Ago
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
There are key flashpoints that define the Trump years. The escalator speech. The “total and complete shutdown.” Charlottesville. But these were not qualitatively dissimilar from the bulk of his Presidential term, during which racism and violence became ubiquitous. These forces were the water we swam in—which was already the case for BIPOC and marginalized communities. But the Trump era saw these social dynamics doused in accelerant. The aggressive war on the border, the pathological cruelty of social service cuts, or the police siege against social movements are not the only defin...

Douglas A-20 Lived Up to its Havoc Name During World War II

Are Depleted Uranium Tank Shells a Tank Super Weapon?

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * A tank is a fast-moving, well-protected, heavily armed behemoth designed to dominate the land battlefield. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *While the tank was now future-proofed, the point about smaller ammunition capability still stood. The fire control system on the M1 was so advanced that it could hit a moving target at two thousand meters with 90 percent accuracy.

Playing with Words While the World Burns: The Constitution Does Not Bar Future Senate Impeachment after January 20
Guest Blogger, Balkinization - 14 hours ago
Victoria Nourse There is significant Senate precedent that Donald Trump may be impeached after his Term ends. Expertson impeachment have explained the historical precedents. There are good reasons for this. Why is impeachment necessary when the officer is not in office? Answer: to bar the President from reelection and life-long taxpayer pensions. Unfortunately, when the impeachment trial begins, we are likely to see arguments from the President like the ones we have seen before, that aggrandize his power and diminish Congress’s powers to call him to account.

Hot Again: 2020 Sets Yet Another Global Temperature Record
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
Earth’s rising fever hit or neared record hot temperature levels in 2020, global weather groups reported Thursday. While NASA and a couple of other measurement groups said 2020 passed or essentially tied 2016 as the hottest year on record, more agencies, including the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, said last year came in a close second or third. The differences in rankings mostly turned on how scientists accounted for data gaps in the Arctic, which is warming faster than the rest of the globe. “It’s like the film ‘Groundhog Day.’ Another year, same story — record gl...

The Army’s M47 Striker Grenade Launcher is a True Terror

*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* Automatic grenade launchers (AGLs) are some of the most deadly weapons available to an infantry unit on a modern battlefield. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Due to the need to program the round in the breech before firing, the Mk 47 fires from a closed bolt as opposed to the open bolt used by the Mk 19.

Will the Air Force Really Build 180 B-21 Stealth Bombers?

*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2011%3Anewsml_GM1E73N1BGC01&share=true] These new bombers will be much more stealthy and powerful than the old B-2. *Key point: *The new bomber will help replace its aging predecessor and help maintain detterence.
