Covid and Capitalism On Steroids
Karen Garcia, Sardonicky - 7 hours ago
Leave it to Donald Trump to equate his truncated hospital stay with a post-doc residency in infectious diseases. His malignant narcissism, turbocharged with a euphoric regimen of the powerful steroid Dexamethasone, led him to boast he'd learned so much about Covid that he discharged himself from the hospital after only four days. Armed with that false sense of well-being supplied by the drug, he is using his disease as germ warfare, infecting all who come into his path with his toxic spittle and "don't worry be happy" cant. And that includes his own teenage son, assuming that he ...

The BBC reports that British bureaucrats "lost" data on thousands of COVID-19 cases due to using the wrong file format.

And it appears that Public Health England (PHE) was to blame, rather than a third-party contractor. The issue was caused by the way the agency brought together logs produced by commercial firms paid to analyse swab tests of the public, to discover who has the virus.

As the creation of a "New World Order" became institutionalized with the Carter regime's Project 1980s, with its commitment to "controlled disintegration" as a strategy to expand the reach of its predatory neoliberal system, LaRouche took them on, in a series of presidential campaigns, conferences, and meetings with world leaders, beginning in 19...
3 Ways America Can Support Its New Model For Arab-Israeli Peace
Bob Silverman, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Bob Silverman* *Security, Middle East* The best way of containing anti-normalization backlash is through making support for projects under the Israel-UAE and Israel-Bahrain agreements a bipartisan top priority in the Middle East. Arabs who would make peace with Israel, whatever their motives, will face backlash and must be courageous. The peace agreements between Israel and the Gulf states of the UAE and Bahrain represent a new model for Arab-Israeli peacemaking and must receive strong U.S. support to be sustained and replicated in the region. This article proposes three ways f...
Germany Had Invaded France 30 Times, But the Maginot Line Made them Change Their Calculus
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Although the Maginot Line did not prevent a German invasion, it forced Adolf Hitler’s generals to rethink their plans for conquest. Like a disjointed, moss-covered, concrete serpent, the Maginot Line snakes some 800 miles, from the Mediterranean border with Italy northward, until it disappears near the North Sea. The serpent’s blank, unseeing eyes—from which the barrels of cannon and machine guns once unblinkingly stared toward France’s traditional enemy—today gaze across a bucolic landscape that gives little hint of the historic events...
Hitler's Lost Treasure: Is the Lost Amber Room on a Nazi Shipwreck?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2003%3Anewsml_RP3DRIOHLUAA&share=true] What may have happened to that wonder? It was dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” a golden-hued, jewel-encrusted chamber that was made of several tons of gemstones, gold and amber. The opulent “Amber Room” disappeared during the Second World War and was considered a casualty of the conflict, but now divers off the coast of Poland believe they may have found the lost Tsarist-era treasure. The room was part of the Catherine Palace near St, P...
Why China Has the Power to Dictate Pakistan’s Future
William Shriver, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*William Shriver* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Deep-seated tensions between India and Pakistan continue to grow. The different ways the divide manifests itself can be seen through the polar opposite ways Pakistan and India interact with China. China has made its presence known in South Asia in 2020. Over the past few months, China-India relations have quickly deteriorated as the two nations have violently confronted each other in Aksai Chin, an intensely contested region that has had disputes since the 1950s. On the other hand, China-Pakistan relations have continued to flou...
B-2 Bomber: Why the Air Force Desperately Needs This Stealth Bomber
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * While the B-21 is coming, the B-2 has flown many missions over the years. Can the Air Force hold out and keep the B-2 flying while maintaining an edge over the enemy? There is no denying that the U.S. Air Force's B-2 Spirit bomber – the nation's only stealth bomber in service today – can do things other aircraft simply can't do. It has the ability to fly 6,000 nautical miles without refueling, travel at high subsonic speeds, and essentially reach any part of the world within hours. This is why during the opening stages of Operation Enduring Freedom it...
Forget Court Packing: Only Term Limits Can Save The Supreme Court
Amitai Etzioni, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Amitai Etzioni* *Politics, Americas* With term limits, the two political parties would no longer be tempted to resort to all-out war every time a justice leaves the court, as their departures would be mandated and fairly distributed. Setting term limits for the justices on the Supreme Court is a much better way to respond to the expected confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett than packing the court. Many who recommend term limits suggest that each term should last eighteen years. Justices’ terms would be staggered so that there would an equal number of openings during each pres...
Stalin's Massive Military Purge Almost Doomed the Soviet Union
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Eurasia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The scale of the purge was staggering: 13 of 15 army commanders, 50 of 57 corps commanders, 154 of 186 divisional commanders, 220 of 406 brigade commanders, all 11 vice-commanders of defense, 98 of 108 members of the Supreme Military Soviets, all army political commissars, 25 of 28 corps commissars, 58 of 64 divisional commissars. Even the lower ranks were not spared. Officer corps expect to suffer heavy losses in war. The entire 1914 class of France’s St. Cyr military academy, for example, perished in World ...
WWII: The U.S. Government Wanted to Attach Bombs to Bats and Release them Over Japan
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Pacific* Project X-Ray’s imaginative bat bombs were intended to rain fire on unsuspecting Japanese cities. They might even have worked. Imagine thousands of bats—silent, gray-furred, vigilant—huddled in the rafters of your home or office, each carrying a tiny device no larger than a thimble. Suddenly the devices explode, one after the other, engulfing everything in a ball of flame. In a matter of minutes, entire buildings are incinerated, leaving behind only scattered mounds of charred wood and piles of ash. While this description sounds torn ...

*Stephen Silver* *Technology, * [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_TM3EC8J1J4B01&share=true] Can the seemingly popular service help save Comcast? Back in February, Comcast acquired Xumo, a relatively obscure free streaming service that launched in 2011 and was once partnered with Panasonic and later with the parent company of the mostly defunct social network Myspace, for a reported $100 million. Comcast quickly positioned Xumo as a rival to other free streaming services with channels like *ViacomCBS’ Pluto TV and Fox-owned Tubi.* How...
Benelli Supernova: The Only Shotgun You Will Ever Need?

*Richard Douglas* *Technology, * It is always a fun day when you get your hands on a new toy. It is always a fun day when you get your hands on a new toy. This pump-action shotgun was a beauty. I am a sucker for pump action. Maybe it was growing up on 90s action films and associating the click of the pump to pure badass. Today I am reviewing the Benelli Supernova. I received the pure black model, but it comes in camo as well for hunting. This is definitely a hunting shotgun rather than home defense. I prefer a shorter model for that—like the Kel-Tec KSG. *Accuracy* The beauty o...
The Battle of Avranches: American Armor Proves Itself
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The 4th Armored Division proved itself in Brittany and would find itself leading Patton’s attack across France. It would later bull its way into surrounded Bastogne in one of the most celebrated actions of the Battle of the Bulge. Lieutenant General Omar Bradley had reason to be pleased by the last week of July 1944. His First Army had scratched out a substantial foothold on the Normandy coast, capturing three times more French territory than his British allies. He had cut off the Cherbourg peninsula to the we...
History Proves U.S. Unilateral Withdrawals Always Backfire
Michael Rubin, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* The threat to move the U.S. Embassy in Iraq is a mistake for the simple reason that not only Iraq but all states will conclude that U.S. partnership is fleeting. It may not just be a bluff. While Iraqis hoped that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s threat to shutter the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad might have just been meant as a wakeup call to compel the Iraqi government to take action against Iran-backed militias, the State Department appears ready to abandon its largest, most expensive embassy to anti-American militiamen and retreat t...
