Meet the USS Macon: The U.S. Military's Forgotten Airship
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* The 785-foot-long dirigible USS Macon was the pride of the Navy’s Lighter Than Air Program in the late 1920s and early 1930s. *Key Point*: Over time, it became obvious that airships were vulnerable to carrier-based planes as well anti-aircraft fire from surface ships. It is sometimes difficult to understand just how immature aviation was in the 1920s and 1930s. Everything about flying was new. Planes sported two sets of canvas-covered wings, had limited navigational ability, and had significantly less ocean-going range than a traditio...
Heckler & Koch’s VP9: Better Than a Glock or Sig Sauer?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Gun, * What do you think? *One big question: why was the VP9 never seriously considered as part of the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition? The VP9 met most, if not all, of the MHS program requirements. The MHS competition, which Sig Sauer won in January 2017, specified a modular ergonomic system. Indeed Glock, which had no such system was considered a viable contender far longer than the VP9 was. The VP9 even had a shorter, compact version, the VP9SK to satisfy the compact pistol requirement. We may never know whether the VP9 was pushed hard en...
U.S. Election Fraud is Real—And It Is Being Ignored
Hans A. von Spakovsky, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Hans A. von Spakovsky* *Security, Americas* Why are journalists seemingly conspiring to hide the existence of real voter fraud if it goes “against the narrative”? Mark Harris was riding high on Election Day in 2018. The Republican candidate for North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District had beaten his Democratic opponent in a very close race. Next stop: the U.S. House of Representatives. Or so it seemed. Harris had won by 905 votes, a margin of only 0.3 percent of all ballots cast. The state’s Board of Elections refused to certify the results, though, when evidence surfaced of...
The U.S. Marine Corps Is Making a Big Change To Take on China (If Needed)
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* The 1st and 2nd Landing Support Battalions fought in some of the bloodiest Pacific fights—and now they’re back. With eyes on the Pacific and a potential near-peer fight with China, the U.S. Marine Corps took a page from their past and reactivated the 1st and 2nd landing support battalions. Though the U.S. Marine Corps is considered the United States’ expeditionary force-in-readiness, these two battalions would represent the tip of the spear in the event of another conflict anywhere west of Hawaii. In a statement, Lt. Col. Randall L. Nickel, co...
Why the Muslim Middle East Supports China’s Xinjiang Crackdown
Adam Lammon, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Adam Lammon* *China, Middle East* Much as peace in Palestine has become less important to the Arab Gulf states’ foreign relations, so too does the Middle East’s silence on Xinjiang suggest that today’s regional governments are willing to compromise on peripheral interests if it means ensuring core ones. What is it that led Muslim leaders in Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Pakistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen to join Cuba’s October 6 statement praising China’s “response to threats of terrorism and extremism” and actions taken to “safe...
Fire! Meet Iran’s Very Old (But Still Deadly) M110 Cannon
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_GF10000199827&share=true] The weapon is a self-propelled gun of sorts that is not quite a tank. *Key point: *The M110 is an aged American weapon that Iran still has. Here is how it uses the weapon and how much damage it could do. The M110 could fire a massive eight-inch artillery shell nearly 20 miles away. Even though it’s retired with the United States—Iran still uses it. *M110* The M110 is a bit of a zombie—neither tank nor artillery piece, but something of...
What Comes After the M1 Abrams Tank?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *M1 Abrams, * At some point, the U.S. military is going to run out of upgrades. What comes next? The Abrams tank has been so massively upgraded over the years that the 1980s-era war machine is now almost an entirely new vehicle . . . as it has new armor, computers, ammunition, sensors, and weapons. However, interestingly, alongside the weapons and technology-related reasons why the Abrams is still so relevant to modern war, there is another clear reason why the tank is not likely to go anywhere anytime soon. The need for heavy armor. This raises an interesting qu...
This Was Hitler's Attempt to Build a Jet Fighter Out of Wood. He Failed.
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] To cut manufacturing costs, the so-called Volksjäger — “People’s Fighter” — used primarily wooden components, designed to be simple enough to assemble using unskilled and slave labor, although the cheap acidic glue holding the components together tended to eat through the plywood components. During the prototype He 162A-0’s second test flight in December, this flaw caused the ailerons to fly off, leading to a fatal crash. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The *Volksjäger*’s flaws were inextricably tied to the fac...

Japan's "Kikka" World War II Jet Fighter: Impressive, But Hopeless
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Like its big brother the Me-262, the Kikka was too little, too late. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The most intriguing question, of course, is whether Japanese jets could have changed the outcome of the Pacific War had they been fielded in time. The best answer is to look at what happened to Germany, which actually produced 1,400 Me-262s, some of which saw combat between November 1944 and May 1945. Though quite disturbing to the Allies, the jets didn't save the Third Reich. It is a fallacy that Germany was the only ...

Coast to Coast - Sightings (October 22, 2020)

TOS-1 Buratino: This Is Russia's Most Powerful Non-Nuclear Weapon

While there are all kinds of multiple-rocket launch systems in use, such as the M142 HIMARS in use by the U.S. Army to bombard ISIS in Iraq, they are all lightly armored weapons intended for long-range *indirect* fire.

Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
Jamaica and Nauru are the latest countries to complete the ratification procedures, the United Nations said. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, adopted in 2017, will enter into force 90 days after it has been ratified by at least 50 countries and regions. Although the pact will not be able to legally require nuclear power states to get rid of their arsenals, the launch of the world’s first treaty banning nuclear weapons is likely to gain global momentum toward reducing stockpiles. According to an official with the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (...
Produce For The People
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
Hatfield, MA - For many farmers, the 2020 season has posed numerous difficulties: an ongoing drought, early frost and a need for extra public health precautions amid the pandemic, to name a few. But in a year marked by challenges, Riquezas del Campo farm, now in its second season, is growing. The immigrant-led, worker-owned cooperative farm got started later in the growing season when it started in 2019 and had just one customer, said Lorena Moreno, a founding member of the farm. This year, the farm, situated on the Northampton-Hatfiled line, has multiplied its sales around four ...
Welsh Government Announces Nationalisation Of Rail Service
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
The Welsh government has decided to nationalise its railways following a significant drop in passenger numbers because of coronavirus (Covid-19). The country’s transport minister Ken Skates said bringing day-to-day rail services for its Wales and Borders franchise under public control would help secure the future of passenger services and protect jobs. Private firm KeolisAmey, a joint venture between French transport giant Keolis and Amey, has run the franchise in Wales for just two years after taking it over from Arriva Trains Wales.

Joe Biden fired the Ukraine prosecutor to protect Burisma
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 15 hours ago
Joe and Democrats in general keep defending his firing of a Ukraine prosecutor either by pretending it didn't happen, or by saying that he fired the prosecutor because the prosecutor was corrupt. The reason that the firing is such a political hot potato is that the prosecutor was investigating the Burisma company; a company which had paid Joe's son Hunter $3M for no discernible reason since Hunter knew nothing about what Burisma does to make money; Hunter knew nothing of the energy business. Hunter himself told ABC News on camera that the only reason he got the money was because...
Hunter Biden planned to make money off his access to Joe Biden: China Edition
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 15 hours ago
While the #FakeNewsMedia is going insane over the fact that Trump had/has a bank account in China we now know that Hunter Biden and his associates arranged for several very rich Chinese businessmen with close ties to the Communist regime to meet with Joe Biden in the White House in 2011. It turns out that two of Hunter's business partners have been convicted of crimes while Hunter has not. One of those partners, Bevan Cooney, has given Peter Schweizer--a real reporter whose work on the Clinton Foundation was cited by the New York Times-- access to his email account. These are not...
Joe Biden wants to shut down the oil and natural gas industry in America
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 15 hours ago
First Joe lied about not opposing fracking which is why America is now energy independent and why our CO2 emissions have gone down faster than most other 1st world countries. Then he was stupid, or demented enough, to dare Trump to post the video of him, Joe Biden, calling for an end to fracking: Here you go @JoeBiden! pic.twitter.com/UBqPJT85Pt — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2020 Without fracking we'd have to buy our natural gas from Russia like New York State does since Cuomo refuses to build natural gas pipelines. Joe talks about replacing natural gas with ...
This Pollster Is Saying This Is The Most Important Chart Of The 2020 US Presidential Election
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 9 hours ago
*Zero Hedge/Cascend: Cascend:* *"This Is The Most Important Chart Of The 2020 Election" * This is the most important chart of the 2020 election: * Trump starts with a less-stable base * But 216 of 535 Electoral College votes are too close to call * Let that sink in: 40% of Electoral College votes appear too close to conclusively call as of today * Even if we assume that states with only a 2% or greater spread are set, 66 Electoral College votes are up-for-grabs * 2% spread is well within margins of error – it’s really a toss-up * Sentiment analysis suggests Biden may squea...
Wargame: Is NATO Ready For A Russian Invasion Of Norway?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Eurasia* It could happen. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Critics point out that the Spearhead alone would stand little chance of holding back a full-scale mechanized invasion. However, the brigade’s role is essentially political. Were Russia to engage in a conflict with a NATO member, it would likely be to seize lightly populated states like the Baltics in two or three days before NATO can deploy reinforcement, presenting a “fait accompli” and tempting politicians to back away from a fight—the outcome of a 2016 Rand war game. On October 25, 201...
Was Russia’s Aircraft Carrier Also a Missile Boat?
David Axe, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_D1BEUHUVRDAA&share=true] It turns out it used to be, but the missile tubes are not used anymore. *Key point: *Moscow loves its anti-ship missiles. However, the missile tubes on the carrier are something of a relic. Some old photos of Russia’s sole aircraft carrier *Admiral Kuznetsov* reveal something seemingly strange. Twelve vertical launch tubes for powerful P-700 anti-ship missiles, nestled just underneath the forward deck of the 1,000-feet-long vessel. Hinged hatch...
The U.S. Navy Almost Turned Its Battleships Into Nuclear Missile Carriers
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* And other battleship ideas from the Cold War. *The Navy came to the conclusion that if the country was going to get its money’s worth from the four battleships, the vessels had to concentrate on their unique abilities: firing massive artillery shells at the enemy.* In the early 1980s, four *Iowa**-class fast battleships* originally built during World War II—*Iowa*, *Missouri*, *New Jersey* and *Wisconsin—*were taken out of mothballs and returned to active duty. Nearly 900 feet long and displacing close to 60,000 tons, the battlewagons could f...
Why U.S. Marines Love the M203 Grenade Launcher

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_GM1E84J0JAJ01&share=true] The grenade launcher is getting a bit old, but it still is a powerful weapon. *Key point: *The Marines are one of the best fighting forces ever. It makes sense that they would have pretty good weapons. One of the most powerful weapons available to U.S. Army and Marine Corps infantry is a grenade launcher designed to fit underneath the M16 rifle. The M203 grenade launcher gave soldiers unprecedented grenade range in a compact, durable pack...
Why China Loves The U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship
David Axe, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* The Navy spent millions building a ship that can't survive a fight against a peer competitor. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Navy undoubtedly ran similar simulations of its own, with similar results, for a year after Mizokami played out the destruction of two LCSs, the Navy drastically curtailed the program in favor of buying tougher, more-heavily-armed frigates. The U.S. Navy in late 2019 or 2020 expects to select a shipyard to build the fleet’s new guided-missile frigate. The 20 heavily-armed frigates will replace roughly half of the 50 or...

Sorry it has taken me a bit this morning to write a post. It wasn’t because I don’t have any ideas in mind. It was because a chance search managed to get me so angry that I had to back off for a few minutes. I happen to be investigating the Statute 230 and went to the 2021 Appropriations for the Government Agencies (like FCC) to check something out. It turns out, the information I was chasing down was correct. But there was more. And THIS MORE was infuriating. –##– The Constitution is generally not self-executing; it creates a series … Continue reading →
