Many Will Lose From Quick Replacement Of RBG – But Will Trump Win?
*Me The People by Nancy Ohanian* *-by Emorej* What happens if Mitch McConnell now quickly schedules a Senate vote on confirming one more Supreme Court Justice who is extremely pro private property and freedom of contract, at the expense of workers, consumers and presumably of reproductive rights and under-represented group protections? What is more likely than the following? *•* Big donors will bribe enough swing-vote senators to ensure confirmation of the new Justice. *•* Under the new court’s super-majority of six Rightwing Justices, big donors will be protected from any inc... more »
Kant on Metaphysics as a Matter of Faith
One of the most famous sentences that Kant has written occurs in the preface to the second edition of his *Critique of Pure Reason*: “I have therefore found it necessary to deny knowledge, in order to make room for faith.” Kant was committed to Newtonian science, he was definitely not a skeptic or a religious rationalist, but he believed that knowledge is limited to the objects of possible experience and metaphysics (like theology) is a matter of faith. I think, Kant is the right in treating metaphysics as a matter of faith; the questions of metaphysics cannot be proved or disprov... more »

Near Future Chaos For The USSA
A close friend of mine went ayahuasca walkabout recently. What ayahuasca showed him was alarming. As regards the USSA: continuing chaos right through October, rising to a chaotic, violent crescendo in November and beyond. The wheels come off. Civil war. Violence. Economic turmoil. Food supply issues. Hyper-inflation of the dollar going forward, with all that that entails. What followed hard on the heels of the hyper-inflation of the currency in the Weimar Republic in Germany a century ago? (Hint: major geopolitical mayhem.) Batten the hatches. Major turbulence lies just ahead. The U... more »

I Don't Live In California, But The State Wants Me To Vote Anyways
*Jarrett Stepman* *Politics, Americas* Does this reveal a broader problem with mail-in voting? States across the country are experimenting with a mass switch to mail-in elections in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But is it wise for states to make such a big change, especially in light of messy voter rolls around the country? What I was sent earlier this month by election officials in Alameda County, California, makes me worried that ballots going to the wrong locations will be a significant concern this year.

Panzer Fury: Hitler's Fateful Last Stand Against the Red Army in Hungary
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* In March 1945, Hitler concentrated his Panzer forces for a last lunge on the Eastern Front. The odds were heavily stacked in the Red Army's favor. *Key Point*: Hitler would have done well to commit the Sixth Panzer Army to the defense of Berlin instead. Even in the dark days of March 1945, when the Third Reich was on the brink of collapse, its troops managed to exhibit that grim humor that enables frontline soldiers to endure the horrors of battle. As the panzer crews of mighty Tiger II tanks rumbled forward in the last German offensive... more »

China's Hong Kong Crackdown Is An Extension Of Its Domestic Policy
*Friso Stevens* *Security, Asia* The Chinese leadership has long known that the old ‘China Model’ had become ‘unstable, unbalanced, uncoordinated and ultimately unsustainable’. China-watchers are still grappling with the wide-ranging implications of the Hong Kong national security law. Has Beijing really abrogated the legally-binding Sino-British Joint Declaration after just 23 of the agreed-upon 50 years? After all, what truly separated Hong Kong from the mainland were the freedoms guaranteed by its Western-style rule of law. Nor has Beijing’s strident foreign policy abated. Chi... more »

Tebboune explained that he “noticed a kind of rush towards normalization,” pointing out, ... more »

Our Two Favorite White Female RINOs Threaten Our Nation’s Security – AGAIN
Senator Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell controls the process for replacing the late SCOTUS Judge Ruth “Buzzy” Ginsburg. He has 53 GOP seats in his chamber as I write this. Now, imagine if you will, that Martha McSally loses her special election in Arizona this November to Mark Kelly (D), that seat count drops to 52. And …. Who sits in those two seats that exceed the number 50? Why, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, two white female RINOs with a loooong history of “cautions” waffling whenever a contentious dispute between conservatives and the Dem Socialists arises. These two beauties h... more »
Why Are India’s COVID-19 Cases Growing While Pakistan Has Almost Overcome The Pandemic?
*Eurasian Times*:* India vs Pakistan: Why Are India’s COVID-19 Cases Inflating While Pakistan Has Almost Overcome The Pandemic?* While India has literally been brought to its knees by the COVID-19 pandemic with almost 100,000 cases reported daily, the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in Pakistan are shockingly low. With a large population density and poor healthcare services, both the South Asian nations were predicted to suffer severely from the pandemic. India is seeing the largest number of cases in the continent and second-highest in the world with cases crossing 53 la... more »
How to Tell How Powerful China's Navy Really Is
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC11BCEFB440&share=true] If you measure in terms of shipbuilding, then Beijing is beating Washington. *Key point:* China is building a lot of ships. In fact, their navy is now larger than even America's. Many of China’s ship classes—including the Type 054A, Type 056, and even the Type 052D—have been built so rapidly their construction runs are complete or could be completed within one to three years. Unless the PLAN is geared towards some massive effort to outmatch th... more »
Washington’s Middle East Debate Is Changing
*Leon Hadar* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] U.S. policymakers and legislators may not have to “choose sides” anymore in a fading Arab-Israeli conflict. Old Middle East experts probably recall a time not so long ago when the debate over U.S. policy towards the region was dominated by one narrative: The “pro-Arab” crowd versus the “pro-Israel” community. This zero-sum-game forced Americans, the White House and Congress to choose sides. Even during that period of time, embracing a binary approach to understand U.S. Middle East policy as an outcome of a clash between supporter... more »
What the New Tech Cold War Means for Taiwan
*Patrick Mendis, Hon-Min Yau* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] China has hurt its technological and economic edge, but private Taiwan companies stand to come out ahead. *Editor’s Note: This is the second part of a two-part series; you can find the first part here.* It is obvious that the Sino-American tech war is an extension of realist politics and is part of the Republican re-election campaign to portrait its leader as the Teflon president. The strategic competition between the Trump administration and the Communist Party of China (CPC) in information communication and techno... more »
Treating China As An Ideological Threat Is Doomed To Fail
*Ryan Manuel* *Security, Asia* Mike Pompeo needs a new strategy. In the US–China relationship, ideology now trumps interests. In July, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s speech on China at the Nixon Library repeatedly referred to Chinese leader Xi Jinping as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (‘the Party’) rather than as the president of China. Referring only to Xi’s power over the Party in this way is part of a US government drive to appear anti-Party rather than anti-China. It is a fundamental mistake to treat relations with China as an ideological mission. View... more »
Once The Allies Defeated Nazi Germany, Nothing Could Stop The Coming Cold War
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Allied occupation of Germany, as detailed in the Rankin C agreement, would draw the borders of the Cold War in Continental Europe. Almost from the beginning, the fractious alliance that defeated Nazi Germany was in peril. The United States and Great Britain had long distrusted the communist regime of the Soviet Union, and the feeling was strongly mutual. As early as 1943, the Big Three—President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Premier Josef Stalin—had begun to discuss the map of postwar Europe. It was a... more »
World War II Was Bloody, But The Black Death Came Closer To Wiping Out Europe
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, * A truly devastating disease. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Black Death was a tremendous tragedy for Europe, but it was also the impetus for societal upheaval. The Europe that emerged was traumatized but more dynamic than ever, set on a slow path of philosophical, scientific and geographic discovery that eventually spread worldwide. In a way, the survivors of the plague inoculated humanity against the future outbreaks of disease through the spread of science. More than six centuries ago, disaster struck the people of Europe. A deadly plague,... more »
