October 1: International Day Of Action On AFRICOM
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
October 1, 2020 is the 12th anniversary of the launch of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), a command structure with bases that are now in dozens of African nations. Yet, the existence of AFRICOM has escaped the awareness of not only the general public in the United States and the world. When four U.S. soldiers were killed in the small African nation of Niger, even members of the U.S. Congress were unaware of the U.S. military's presence in the country and the extent of the U.S. military presence throughout Africa.

Zapatistas Need Solidarity After Coffee Harvest Burned

On August 22, 2020, the ORCAO paramilitary organization looted and burned two Zapatista coffee warehouses in Cuxuljá, Chiapas. This is the latest in an accelerating series of attacks on the Zapatista project since the current administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) took office.

Assange Hearing: Testimonies Undermine US Indictment, Provide Grounds For Dismissal
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
Week three of the hearings at the Old Bailey for Julian Assange‘s extradition to the US heard testimony from a computer security expert that may prove to be critical. That testimony could be used to undermine the first indictment raised against the WikiLeaks founder and therefore weaken the entire case.

An American-Made Greek Tragedy: Coronavirus and the Thucydides Trap
Jeff Rogg, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Jeff Rogg* *Security, * The United States must learn from Athens’ mistakes in order to avoid turning a Greek tragedy into an American reality. The ongoing contest with China is transforming America’s domestic and international policies, raising an alarming corollary to Graham Allison’s “Thucydides Trap.” Drawing upon Thucydides, Allison worries that the United States and China are headed toward war as a result of great power competition when a new power rises as an old power falls. The Thucydides Trap Corollary follows from Allison’s observation, but also accounts for the addit...

A number of recent document releases shine new lights on 'Russiagate'.

If there is a lesson to be learned from the overseas misadventures of Canada’s large cannabis producers in recent years, it is this: Being first to a market is a waste of time and money if that market is still years (or decades) away from producing material revenue—more so if you’re unable or unwilling to bankroll losses in the meantime.

Baby born at 22 weeks is thriving; late term abortion kills viable babies
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 15 hours ago
Baby Cannon is one year old. He was born at 22 weeks, when abortion is legal, and weighed only 17 ounces. Yet today he's doing fine. Doctors told his parents that he probably wouldn't live long enough to get out of the delivery room. The key point is simple; it's wrong to abort children that could survive. If the mother refuses to accept her responsibilities for having sex, only 0.3% of abortions are due to rape and only 0.14% for a threat to the mothers life, she should deliver her child not kill her.

How To Kill a U.S. Navy Warship: Fire Torpedoes, Missiles and Guns Simultaneously?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2ODF90ML3C&share=true] There are many evolving threats, but also many new ways to keep pace with them. Could a simultaneous attack by anti-ship cruise missiles, drone-fired rockets, swarming small boats, underwater torpedoes and ship guns all overwhelm a U.S. navy ship’s defenses? That would certainly seem to be the intent of any such attack, a move which would challenge layered ship defenses including interceptor missiles, radar, torpedo detection systems and close-in we...
Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump: Who Is Really Better On The Economy?
James Pethokoukis, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*James Pethokoukis* *Economics, * Moody's weighs in. Moody’s Analytics economists Mark Zandi and Bernard Yaros have a new note out where they give it their best shot trying to model the economic agendas of former Vice President Joe Biden and President Trump. And from what they say, the model they use “is similar to those used by the Federal Reserve Board and Congressional Budget Office for forecasting, budgeting and policy analysis.” Long story short: Under a divided government scenario, the difference in economic outlook would be “only modest.” And under unified government, “we...
Would Invalidating ObamaCare Cause 20 Million Americans to Lose Coverage?
Michael F. Cannon, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael F. Cannon* *Politics, Americas* The Supreme Court will soon hear another case on Obamacare. On November 10, the Supreme Court will hear *California v. Texas*. The case poses the questions of whether Congress’ decision to zero‐​out ObamaCare’s penalty for failure to purchase health insurance renders the law’s individual mandate unconstitutional under the Court’s 2012 ruling in *NFIB v. Sebelius*, and if so, whether the Court should strike down all or part of the law. Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week, was a champion of equality for women and a rel...

*Conservative groups rally to save Pebble Mine* Americans for Limited Government, along with 65 other conservative groups, sent a letter to President Trump this week urging him not to allow political meddling in the permitting process for the Pebble Mine in Alaska. Just hours after sending the letter of support for the embattled project, Tom Collier, CEO for the Pebble Limited Partnership, which is owned by Canada-based Northern Dynasty, resigned following the release of recorded comments in which it says he “embellished” relationships with elected and regulatory officials. A Peb...

Laurence Fox's Fake New Party
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 15 hours ago
I had a moan about repetitive politics the other day, and the cyclical grind continues. Though, on this occasion, we're talking about farce, not tragedy. Laurence Fox, famous for playing the sidekick of a sidekick and marrying Billie Piper has announced he's launching a political party. Under the working name of Reclaim, there's apparently a million quid of donations in the bank and has no purpose other than fighting the culture wars. To quote Fox, "Our politicians have lost touch with the people they represent and govern. Our public institutions now work to an agenda beyond their m...
Tolerance of Uncertainty
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
The ultimate truths are unknowable and at the base of all knowledge there is an element of uncertainty, but that does not imply that we should stop exploring the unknown—it implies that man must learn to tolerate uncertainty.
The lead FBI agent on the Flynn investigation said no crime was committed
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 15 hours ago
Slowly but surely the Swamp is releasing the truth about the Democrat's attempted coup. The Federalist has a great in depth article showing just how corrupt the Flynn and Mueller investigations were. It turns out that for some reason the lead FBI agent on the Flynn investigation wasn't interviewed until this month. The reason, it turns out, is that he testifies to the fact that the Flynn investigation and Mueller's efforts were politically motivated attacks on Trump supported by not a shred of actual evidence. FBI Special Agent William Barnett was so concerned about the politica...
It's In the Pipeline
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
Robin Sears writes that universal childcare has been on Canadians' radar for a long time: Childcare in Canada has a long and twisting history — from pre-Confederation days when informal day nurseries were set up in some larger communities, to 1942 when subsidized daycare spaces were created for mothers working in war industries, to the boom created by the first feminist wave of the 70s. Like capital punishment, abortion and marriage equality, the cause was litigated brutally on each side, gaining traction slowly until one day becoming “inevitable.” Events have now made universal ...
