Over 7 Million Covid Cases In The U.S. And Over 200,000 Deaths-- But Trump Insists He Get An A+ For His Handling Of The Pandemic
Trump chit-chatted with the ass-lickers on *Fox & Friends* Monday morning. At the time he was on the phone 204,126 Americans had been reported dead of COVID-19. Still he rated his handling of the pandemic-- panned all over the world as the worst of any national leader (other than perhaps, Benjamin Netanyahu)-- an A+. "We’ve done a phenomenal job, not just a good job, a phenomenal job, other than public relations, but that’s because I have fake news." Just before Trump began amusing the Fox News audience with his banalities, America slipped over the 7 million cases mark. By the t... more »

Joe Biden's Turkey Comments Are Bad News For U.S. Middle East Allies
*Eric Bordenkircher* *Security, Middle East* Joe Biden’s approach to U.S-Turkish relations is a textbook example of what not to do with a Middle Eastern ally. Joe Biden is in dire need of a relationship coach for the Middle East. His statements, writings, and sections of the Democratic Party platform are puzzling, somewhat shocking, and terribly misguided regarding relations with Middle Eastern allies. The Democratic presidential nominee’s ideas will further damage relations with regional allies and undermine the realization of U.S. policy in the Middle East. Take for exampl... more »
Did President Franklin Roosevelt Plan to Enter World War II Before Pearl Harbor?
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* Winston Churchill, for one, thought so. *Key Point*: Realizing that war with Japan was on the horizon, Churchill focused on getting Roosevelt to formally announce his intention to declare war if the Japanese attacked British or Dutch holdings in Indochina. This is a story of what might have been. If Japan had chosen to attack far-off British Malaya on December 7, 1941, instead of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, President Franklin Roosevelt was prepared to go before Congress and ask—for the first time in American history—for a declaration of war... more »

FinCEN – Isn’t it time to start making arrests?
By Rob Woodward: Have we not tired of their crimes? In 2008, the bank-led financial crisis led to Britain’s national debt increasing from 41 per cent of GDP in 2007 to 87 per cent in 2015. It led directly to a policy decision by George Osborne, backed by the Conservative government – called austerity. According to the British Medical Journal, the health and social care crisis that followed led to 120,000 people losing their lives up to 2015. And just like the disastrous handling of the Covid-19 pandemic this year, it was the over 60s and care home residents bearing the brunt back then.

The Hidden Costs of Racking Up National Debt
*Tony Makin* *economy, * Before the financial crisis the preferred means of managing the economy was monetary policy, run by the central bank and involving interest rates. Now it’s fiscal policy, run by governments and involving tax and spending. The financial response of Western governments to the COVID-19 crisis has been gargantuan, with boosts to health expenditure, enhanced JobSeeker-like payments, and JobKeeper-like wage subsidies to keep workers attached to jobs. While a strong response has been necessary, it has come with costs. These have been huge budget deficits and sk... more »
What World War II and the Ebola Outbreak Can Teach Us About School Closures
*Alberto Posso* *Coronavirus, * The Ebola epidemic occurred in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone — countries vastly different to Australia in terms of culture, politics and economics.

Closing schools has been one response around the world to try to stop the spread of COVID-19. In Australia, states mandated an end to face-to-face learning for some time during the so-called first wave of the pandemic, and schools across V... more »

The USA has had DEWs since around 1980. At least for rersearch. Recall those crop circles. It took me twenty years to confirm pixel sizing. I do also propose that they were used militarily in the first Gulf War to kill front line Iraqi troops by the US space force. The Iraqis took 100,000 casulties without firing a shot. So it is fair to say that the Chinese have caught up. Hopefully they know what they are doing here. Otherwise all their salelites will be returned to them.

Along the way, these new allies lend their own talents, perspectives, advice and more the movement.
