How You Can Stop Trump’s Lie MachineTrump is ramping up his lies...

Robert Reich - 12 hours ago
*How You Can Stop Trump’s Lie Machine* Trump is ramping up his lies through his three amplifiers: Fox News, his rallies, and his Twitter account. His lies aren’t subject to the filters traditionally applied to presidential statements, because Trump doesn’t respond to questions from the mainstream press. He doesn’t meet in public with anyone who disagrees with him, and he shuns experts. This means his lies go out to millions of Americans, unfiltered. So what can you do? *1.

Developing Responses to Cyber-Enabled Information Warfare and Influence Operations

This article defines information warfare and influence operations as the deliberate use of information by one party on an adversary population to confuse, mislead and ultimately influence the actions that the targeted population makes.

North Korea's Air Force: A Threat or a Total Joke?

Dave Majumdar at Test Feed Using Fields - 13 hours ago
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, Asia* The North Koreans have only a handful of modern aircraft—the most capable of which are Pyongyang’s fleet of 35 or so Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrums. Other relatively modern planes in Pyongyang’s inventory include 56 MiG-23 Floggers and 34 Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot close air support aircraft. However, the overwhelming majority of Pyongyang’s arsenal is made up of 1950s and 1960s vintage machines. *While admittedly primitive, North Korean air forces cannot necessarily be written off.

Building the spacetime from BC-bits

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 19 hours ago
Many new hep-th papers mention the swampland but there have been many texts about these disputed ideas on this blog so let me pick something great and less disputed. Mark Van Raamsdonk is the main father of the idea to connect pieces of spacetime by the quantum entanglement in the role of the glue – and therefore the forefather of the ER-EPR correspondence, among other things. In his new preprint, Building up spacetime with quantum entanglement II: It from BC-bit whose title was chosen as a continuation of a paper from 2010 (over 500 followups now; the second, new part of the title... more »

THE NEW ALLEGATIONS IN THE SKRIPAL CASE, AND THE STANDARD OF PROOF

Editor at Dances With Bears - 20 hours ago
By John Helmer, Moscow The idea that a picture is worth a thousand words is only a century old. As old, that is, as publishing newspapers profitably has depended on selling advertisements to catch the eye of credulous readers. Released in London yesterday, pictures of two Russians suspected of poisoining Sergei and Yulia Skripal on […]

Over The Last 7 Days Our Planet Has Been Violently Shaken By 144 Major Earthquakes

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
When it comes to earthquakes, i am inclined to think the more the better. the reason for this is that tension does build up in the Earth along weaknesses. Thus releasing a lot of them is likely to postpone many other quakes. It is also true that all known quakes do fit into a pretty well understood channel and we have pretty well maximized our ability to avoid damage. Globally we can and we will do better. The fact is we can sustain quakes outside inhabited country all day and all night in good order. . *Over The Last 7 Days Our Planet Has Been Violently Shaken By 144 Ma... more »

This was written four years ago and today Eric Schmidt has stepped down coincidental to an Executive Order. The stage is been set for the whole Google construct to be carefully constrained and possible trust busting to generate a more sensible competition than the present monopoly game underway. A large part of this is that apparent association with government security agencies to say nothing of a 1984 mentality among it and its competitors responding to the desires of governments. . *Assange: Google Is Not What It Seems* *By Julian Assange On 10/23/14 at 12:47 PM * * https:/... more »

Christian War Fever

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Not really of course, although there are plenty of Christians who do buy into an end times meme that envisages military conflict. Yet that is simply a misreading of prophetic material. It is my contention that war as we know it is completely obsolete and will not do anything but alter placeholders in long established hierarchies which is hardly a useful military objective. What is not obsolete is the art of confrontation. That allows change to occur because a military response is mere suicide. Yet it must also remain ethical as only abuse will unite men to passively resis... more »

Alien Technology in a Pyramid in North Carolina

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This report appears to be about twenty to thirty years old and it appears that Bartoo at least is dead. It is curious to see the least and is surely a reprint from the archives. What is described is a direct intervention through spirit body communication that was assumed to be aliens or something. The instruction is interesting and conforms to a lot of what we have understood regarding pyramid technology. I find it hard to believe that it worked so well. But then we are certainly looking at a sonic concentrator at least and the capacity to produce a vertical spiral wave and ... more »

There are those who, like Fake President Trump, encourage police brutality and there are those, like many NFL players, who peacefully protest police brutality against minorities. It goes even deeper than that of course. The "very fine people" who Trump counts among his supporters march in defense of a "heritage" that includes hanging black Americans from trees. To Republicans, that's a heritage to be proud of. To decent, civilized voters, it's not. As for protest, America was built on protest. As the clip below shows, senate ca... more »

The problem is, many “promise” and other so-called free college state programs are inherently unequitable and are not constructed to benefit low-income students, according to a new study by The Education Trust.

*Robert Jervis, War On The Rocks*:* A Horrifying and Believable Path to Nuclear War with North Korea* Many of us believe that if nuclear missiles were to strike the United States, they would most likely come from North Korea. However, it is hard to dramatize this possibility or to make a convincing case for the exact pathway to a war.
