Scheer Intelligence: How Today’s Uprisings Compare To The 1960s Rebellions
The 1960s live on in U.S. memory as an era of counterculture rebellions and the civil rights movement that changed the course of the nation’s history. The mass uprisings that took place from coast to coast have been immortalized in myriad films and books, but these often focus on well known figures rather than the everyday Black and Chicano youths that fueled the movement. In their new book, Set the Night on Fire: L.A. in the 1960s, renowned historians Mike Davis and Jon Wiener set out to capture the complete history of the city’s revolutionary political scene by focusing on the w... more »
Changing The Washington Guard
At the risk of counting chickens before they hatch, what would the return of Team Blue portend? As is patently obvious, the US is in trouble. Climate driven heat waves and fires grip the nation. An already faltering economy with deep contradictions could only tank given the shock of the pandemic that has necessitated varying degrees of sequestering. In fact, the downturn had already started before COVID-19 hit. An already largely privatized healthcare system run for profit and a social ethic that rejects “socialized” public health measures could only have proven inadequate. The ... more »
A Cold War Power Play At The Inter-American Development Bank
Having launched his presidential campaign by labeling migrants from south of the U.S.-Mexico border as “rapists and criminals,” Latin America was perhaps one of the last places President Donald Trump expected to rely on as a source of steadfast friends. It thus comes as no surprise that in the new Cold War against China, Trump’s tactics in recruiting allies in Latin America have been reminiscent of the many “caudillos” that have plagued the continent in the past. The politicized impeachment of Dilma Roussef, deposing of Evo Morales, and attempted invasion of Venezuela set the back... more »
Wise People Know Winning A War Is No Better Than Losing One
US President Donald Trump and his ‘war council’ – led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – have amplified their aggression against China. What began as a trade dispute in the 1990s has now escalated into the United States making an existential challenge against China. The threat against China is made not for irrational reasons, but for perfectly rational ones, which are laid out below in our Red Alert no. 9 (also available as a separate download from our website). These have to do with the emergence of China as a major economic and technological power. The post Wise People Know Wi... more »
TUC Calls For Israel Sanctions To “End Apartheid”
The British Trades Union Congress has condemned Israel’s annexation plan, calling it “another significant step in the creation of a system of apartheid” in the West Bank. Passed on Tuesday, the motion is thought to be the first time the British trade union umbrella body has described Israeli policies as apartheid. The TUC motion calls for the UK to “take firm and decisive measures, including sanctions” against Israel to stop annexation, end the occupation and respect the right of Palestinian refugees to return. It also called for unions around the world to join the campaign “to st... more »
Schools Reopen — And Teachers Fight For Their Lives…
As schools begin to reopen, within teacher unions around the country, teachers have been coming together to discuss the risks they’re willing to take — both to protect public health in the short term, and to protect public education in the long run. The starting place for the unions, noted Stacy Davis Gates, vice president of the Chicago Teachers Union, is that the push to reopen schools as if they could wish the pandemic away, whether it was coming from President Trump and U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos or from Chicago’s mayor Lori Lightfoot, “was wrong and dangerous.” ... more »

*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Security, Asia* From the author: It is imperative that a re-elected President Trump not return to the dangerously confrontational policy toward North Korea that he embraced during the initial months of his first term. If Donald Trump defies the predictions of polls and pundits once again to win another term as president, he will have considerable latitude to adopt bold initiatives, especially with respect to foreign policy. Such latitude could be especially useful in the case of U.S. policy toward North Korea. Trump’s volatile performance during his first... more »

*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* Next year, the Navy’s carrier USS Carl Vinson will be deployed with a ten-aircraft F-35C squadron on the aircraft’s first carrier deployment. Since their creation a century ago the goal of the aircraft carrier was to extend the range of naval forces beyond the horizon, and now U.S. Navy carriers could extend that range significantly further. Speaking at last Friday’s Virtual Hook convention webinar of the Tailhook Association, Rear Adm. Gregory Harris, director of Air Warfare in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, offer his thoughts on ... more »
This Indian Tank Took 35 Years to Build (and Was a Complete Disaster)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Nearly 75 percent of India's Arjun tanks were inoperable due to technical problems in 2015. *Key Point*: The Arjun tank was trapped for decades in a development death spiral, and the end product is correspondingly mediocre. In the mid-1970s, India began development on a totally new, advanced main battle tank that would satisfy the needs of the country’s Armored Corps. An impressive combination of firepower, armor protection and mobility, the tank was to be India’s first indigenously produced tank—and one of the best in the world. The service date... more »

Defense Secretary Esper: "China Cannot Match" the U.S. Navy
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * Technological advances and hundreds or thousands of drone ships and submarines will keep America ahead of China.

Critical race theory in education
I was reading a summary of an article on critical race theory in education about black teachers. I think 5 people were interviewed and from that the author, Michelle Jay who is black, concluded, "The study confirms several tenets of critical race theory including the assertion that racism is not aberrant, but endemic and permanent in American society, and routinely exists in public schools." This is always the theme in critical race theory which is taught from the highest levels of government and military (reeducation camps) to first graders (get 'em while they are young and paren... more »

Forced Sterilization Is Nothing New To Criminalized People In The US
The United States has long used citizenship status and perceived criminality as a means to determine whether individuals deserve basic human rights. This week’s egregious allegations of mass hysterectomies at an immigrant jail in Georgia are consistent with the long U.S. tradition of state-sanctioned eugenics, medical abuse and forced sterilizations against those whose humanity the state does not recognize or value. News reports on Monday revealed that gynecologists in an immigrant jail in Georgia have performed high rates of hysterectomies, often without the full awareness of the... more »

DEMOCRATS MIGHT WIN THE WHITE HOUSE, TAKE BACK THE SENATE -- AND LOSE SOME HOUSE SEATS
I'm feeling fairly good about the Trump-Biden polls, and about the Senate races -- the *New York Times*/Siena College polls has more good numbers today from Maine, Arizona, and North Carolina. But I'm concerned about the House. Right now FiveThirtyEight says Democrats have a 6.4% generic-ballot lead; on September 21, 2018, Democrats had a lead of 8.8%, and their final lead was 8.7%. (I chose September 21 because Election Day was three days later in 2018 than it will be in 2020.) At Real Clear Politics, the Democrats' generic-ballot lead is now 5.7%. On September 21, 2018, it was 8.0... more »
On the Vedic Gods
The word “*Veda*” is derived from the Sanskrit root *vid*, to know; thus, it might be inferred that three thousand years ago, the *Vedas *referred to the important knowledge that was available to the people of that period. The *Vedic *teachers seem to have realized that the material world is not the creation of a conventional god but of an omnipotent and omnipresent author who is undivided, timeless, and motionless—they give this author the exalted title of *Atman* or *Paramatman*, the great soul, or living principle of the universe.
