Better yet, we can rumble through prototype to production fast through 3d printing and the full computerization of all aspects of the build. The whole contraption can fly virtually long before anyone cuts metal. We are now beginning to see the march of the space elephants. This launcher will lift a fu...

New Hangar Facility That Points To A Drone Swarm Future

This is the arc of the investigative inquiry that should have been started well over a year ago. This is likely the “expanded” justification now being explained by the Durham/Aldenberg probe. As if…. they didn’t know this prior to having … Continue reading →
Selling Ourselves For Safety: A Look At the Migration Industrial Complex
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 1 day ago
The climate crisis, wars, violent states and economic crashes are driving migration around the world and in this capitalist global environment, it is no surprise that a profiteering industrial complex has evolved. I speak with Siobhan McGuirk and Adrienne Pine, co-authors of "Asylum for Sale: Profit and protest in the migration industry," about the ways capitalism both drives migration and benefits from it. They discuss who has the resources to migrate, the problem with how asylum-seeking is framed in the public discourse and courts and the diverse international resistance that is...

Fox News dumps on Project Veritas...
Adrienne, Adrienne's Corner - 15 hours ago
*still trust them?* On their article about *Omar Ilhan's illegal vote harvesting,* which the Minneapolis police are now investigating, Fox News said: Project Veritas, which has a history of doctored videos, dubious campaigns and sting operations that don't reveal anything, also claims to have spoken with a former campaign worker who indicated that Omar's team paid voters for ballots. Really, Fox? There has never been a shred of evidence to indicate doctored videos, dubious campaigns, or sting operations that don't reveal anything. The pod people have infested Fox. And why are ...
About This Whole Tax Thing.....
Diogenes Sarcastica™, Diogenes' Middle Finger - 18 hours ago
It's unamerican to use the phrase "get away with" as the self-righteous Senator Spartacus Booker *tweeted this morning* in reference to DJT's use of Tax law. It's like accusing me of speeding when I'm going 75 in a 75 mph zone. I'm not "getting away with" it. I'm going the speed limit! Change the speed limit if that's the wrong top speed. Crimes are the things that have been defined as crimes. It's particularly irksome for a legislator to talk like that, shifting the blame for the legislature's own failures. And I find it very interesting that the *NYT*, strongly motivated to fin...
Yes, LG’s Non-OLED Nano 9 Series Can Take on Samsung’s QLEDs
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Technology, * If you’re seeking to transform your living room into an entertainment powerhouse, then you can rest assured that you’re off to a solid start here, as the 9 Series comes with both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. These days, in the cutthroat HDTV race, OLED and QLED offerings tend to garner the most attention. That, however, doesn’t mean that there aren’t any other competitive lower-priced options out there. For example, if you really want to blow your friends and family away without cleaning out your bank account, make sure to check out LG’s 65-inc...

Sarah L Caddy, Anne Moore, Connor Bamford, David Hunter, Derek Gatherer, Robert West, Susan Michie, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Sarah L Caddy, Anne Moore, Connor Bamford, David Hunter, Derek Gatherer, Robert West, Susan Michie* *Coronavirus, World* We asked several experts from different fields what their burning question about the coronavirus is. Here is what they said. The pandemic has reached a grim milestone: one million people have now died of COVID-19, according to Worldometers. On January 13, we published “Mystery China pneumonia outbreak likely caused by new human coronavirus” by Connor Bamford, a virologist at Queen’s University Belfast. Since then, we have published more than 3,500 articles on...
Why China Is Rooting for Joe Biden
George Satterfield, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*George Satterfield* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] From the author: Neither Trump nor Biden can arrest the growing global disarray caused by the rise of regional great powers, they can only hope to manage it. The multipolar world in all of its complexity is here to stay. The crucial difference between the two candidates is in how to respond to China. In this instance, a Biden victory may unfortunately lead the U.S. further into the depths of economic dependence on Beijing rather than gaining much-needed freedom of maneuver. Need another reason why the coming presidential...
Trump Paid Nearly Nothing in Taxes. How High Should Taxes Be on the Rich?
Pieter Vanhuysse, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Pieter Vanhuysse* *Society, Americas* A new study shows that voters back lower tax rates only for income earned on merit. As the US presidential election debates approach, how much to tax the rich will be one of many areas of disagreement between the two candidates. Donald Trump introduced sweeping tax cuts in 2018 that included a tax reduction for the wealthiest Americans. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has proposed tax increases for those earning more than US$400,000. Now Trump’s own tax returns have become a focus of the election campaign after the New York Times reported he had paid ...
Why was unarmed cooperative Brad Parscale body slammed to the ground?...police video
Adrienne, Adrienne's Corner - 1 day ago
*something is fishy about this whole thing. * At 1:13 you can hear the wife telling the cops when they first arrived what was going on. Personally, if I had to listen to that voice all the time I'd probably cold cock her too or shoot myself. Okay - that was unnecessary snark, but I'm standing by my statement. At 1:59 a cop approaches the house where Parscale is sitting after they called him on the phone and requested he come out. Parscale gets up, walks toward the cop, and starts to calmly give his side of the story. A few seconds later 2 cops spring out from behind the pickup,...

Is Russia About To Intervene In The Armenia - Azerbaijan War?
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 1 day ago
*Zero Hedge*:* Armenia Stands "Ready" To Trigger Defense Pact With Russia As Azerbaijan Fighting Intensifies* Armenia could trigger its collective defense pact with Russia, the latter which also has a sprawling military base at Gyumri in the northwest part of the country, but on Monday the Armenian Ambassador to Moscow, Vardan Toganyan, has said the escalation of fighting with Azerbaijan has not reached that point yet. Russia's TASS, however, has underscored that this remains a distinct possibility at a moment Armenia has reported at least 31 of its troops killed in the conteste...

Donald Trump Suggested Ivanka as 2016 Running Mate, New Book Says
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Ivanka introduced her father when he first announced his endeavor to become president in June 2015 and currently serves as a senior adviser to the president in the White House. But history could have been very different. President Donald Trump insisted that his eldest daughter, Ivanka, be his running mate during the 2016 election, according to a new book by a former Trump campaign aide that’s set to be released Oct. 13. The upcoming book, written by Trump’s former deputy campaign manager Rick Gates, titled “Wicked Game: An...

Robert Reich - 1 day ago
*10 Things You Need to Know About Trump’s Tax Returns* Finally Trump’s tax returns have been made public. Here are the 10 big things you need to know about them: *1. Did he break the law? Almost surely. *Details of tax practices suggest fraud on a massive scale. As Michael Bromwich, a former inspector general at the Justice Department, said yesterday, based on the Times’s story, Trump faces federal and state prosecution for bank fraud, tax fraud, wire fraud, and mail fraud, as does his entire family. *2. How little has he paid in taxes? In 11 of the 18 years examined, Trump pai...
Where in the World Will the Next Epidemic Start?
Naomi Forrester-Soto, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Naomi Forrester-Soto* *Coronavirus, World* Viruses have passed from animals to humans throughout history, and will continue to do so. Viruses jumping from animals to humans have been the starting point of numerous outbreaks, from Ebola to Zika. Given the similarity of SARS-CoV-2 to coronaviruses found in bats, this probably marked the beginning of COVID-19 too. We know that viruses have passed from animals to humans throughout history, and will continue to do so. But the factors that influence the geographical origin of these events is less clear, despite being highly important...

BRIGHTON, United Kingdom, Sep 28 (IPS) - On the eve of the UN's 75th anniversary, Antonio Guterres, the UN's Secretary-General has declared that the coronavirus pandemic is the world's top security threat.

Literally the Brad o' the Day
jurassicpork, Welcome Back to Gotham City - 1 day ago
I'll just begin this post right now by stating that the only thing the Republican Party and I have in common these days is that I, too, have no use for most political correctness. This especially applies to Republican scum who beat their wives, draw guns on them and endanger the community. And I don't care very much if Candice Parscale is a dyed-in-the-wool Trump Republican. No woman deserves to get beaten by her husband to the point where when she calls 911 on him, she has bruises all over her body and face. I feel horrible for that poor woman. If you need additional empa...

TikTok Wins Round One: An Overview of Judge Nichols’s Preliminary Injunction Ruling
RChesney, Lawfare - 1 day ago
Beijing and Washington continue to clash over a Tik Tok deal. (Solen Feyissa, https://flic.kr/p/2jjJXGz; CC BY-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/) Yesterday was a dramatic win for TikTok (which was only fitting, considering the style of its typical popular content). It had initially dodged sanctions thanks to its proposed deal with Oracle and Walmart, but enthusiasm for that deal had been waning both in Washington and Beijing (and for seemingly-irreconcilable reasons). Barring judicial intervention, an initial sanction would have kicked in at midnight on Sunda...
