DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* A week ago, I posted about a Republican nuthouse in Pennsylvania. Here's one from the apparent American Taliban stronghold of the 83rd District of North Carolina. This home just screams Proud Boy Clubhouse! By my count, I see 8 Confederate flags, each one a little waving monument to treason, placed next to Old Glory along the curb. More treason-loving pro-slavery heritage Confederate flags appear elsewhere on the lawn and on the house. I'm surprised there isn't a lawn jockey or two and you have to assume that these homeowners at least thought better of displaying swas...

On Foreign Policy, Trump Is Still the Lesser Evil
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
No kidding. Understand that our foreign policy was hijacked by the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) under George HW Bush through the application of the 9/11 psyop. This allowed a military rollout that kept is all on a war footing until Trump was elected in 2016. Trump has not been able to truly end this, but he has certainly stalled it. This election will give him the real power necessary to take back real control. The MIC needs a sensible military objective. Transfering their center of mass into Taiwan would do this nicely. NATO can also move resources there as well afte...

(Mario Tama/Getty Images)] In a world in which all print media outlets have faced serious readership shrinkage for over two decades, Epoch Times has steadily added readrship by the simple fact that it is gathering real stories from China in the face of CCP resistence.

De orbiting from ISS
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Our future will include a massive Space Station that is plausibly a full mile in diameter and as thick as we need making it look like a giant disc. Simple rotation would produce one g of acceleration on the outer trim. Getting down to surface is then a highly desirable objective and we have the capacity to carry thousands of one man life boats able to de orbit. One man boats are likely the best option in practise as well as it can easily be used for random and normal removal as well. This item shows us that it just may be plausible and a nice alternative to sending up insuffi...

The UK Should Stop Talking Tough on a No-Deal Brexit

*Ursula F Ott, Pervez N Ghauri* *Politics, UK* It is in the interest of both parties to strike a deal. Strong bargaining positions are used by experienced negotiators to achieve an expected outcome – an agreement. But the UK, at times, talks as if no-deal is an intended outcome. It is not. It would be the result of a failed negotiation. Reaching an agreement in trade deals is, in the best of times, a long process. There are inevitably differences in objectives and negotiation strategies between sides. Most trade agreements with the EU take years to negotiate, not least because th...

Was the Bombing of Nazi Germany Effective in Ending World War II?

That said, the air war contributed significantly to the eventual defeat of the enemy. Behind the strategy that governed the American air war in Europe during World War II lay events and ideas that dated back to World War I and the 1920s.
