Republican insiders privately concede Biden ousted Trump and dismiss suggestions voter fraud, ballot errors, or other issues would be uncovered sufficient to alter the election. But ...

The Naturalistic Fallacy That Holds Back Some In The West From Progress Keeps India From Lowering Emissions Too

A billion people still use wood for cooking and heating - and western countries are to blame. In the last decade, centralized energy production for developing countries was derailed unless they used solar or wind - neither of which are viable on their own. That leave families cutting and burning wood or dried dung for fuel, both of which are far worse for the environment than coal. Yet there are other obstacles that even prevent people from even switching to local Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - a belief that local firewood increases "wellbeing" for their families. read more
Trump Win Validated by Quantum Blockchain System Recount of Votes

Understand that Trump got 62,980,828 votes in 2016 and now has 71,350,307 legal votes. That is a huge jump and is the conversion of democrat voters to Trump.

That would argue that he gained 12,000,000 votes over HRC. For this to be true, 20,000,000 new voters needed to appear or the populatilon of the USA grew by twenty percent.

Yes, it is fair to say that we have now seen peak oil in 2018. We can and will still produce a lot of hydrocarbons which we should anyway. Natural gas is our best heat source. Howefer it all works at a present price of around $50.00 per barrel and certyainly no higher. Supply shock is a real thing and wreaks things. This will last a good decade, but it is during this decade in which the entire transportation sector will transition to battery based systems.

Trump fires deep state Defense Secretary Mark Esper, indicating a likely plan for military involvement in a declaration of insurrection
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The military will soon crush the insurrection. Martial law will be imposed with live fire. Globally we apparently have over 500,000 arrests. Many key arrests and even convictions have already taken place behind the shroud of secrecy. It is already a well honed machine. Up to this point, i had not understood why clearly active investigations were not leading to public arrests yet. Now it is obvious. Thye did not want to spook the criminal DEMs and any criminal GOP. Now the roof caves in. . *HUGE: Trump fires deep state Defense Secretary Mark Esper, indicating a likely pla...
Implant coating combines meds and silver to prevent infections
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is truly implant 2.0 technology. We are rrally starting to apply some true nano tech to our medical tools I particularly like the fact that bone cells can also invade the pores locking down the bone titanium contact. It should now be possible to produce a printed titanium skull as well to protect the brain. Interesting idea should it become possible to transplant a brain in preparation for deep space travel. *Implant coating combines meds and silver to prevent infections* *By Ben Coxworth* *November 06, 2020* *The coating would be applied to the lower section of an ar...

China and North Korea are Allies, But What Happens if Kim Jong-un Goes Too Far?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* If North Korea triggers a conflict, China may be forced into a fight that it does not want and is not fully prepared for. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *If Beijing and Washington could avoid nuclear combat, the end of the war would turn on the survival of the DPRK. North Korea cannot indefinitely stand against the combined might of the U.S. and the ROK, much less the addition of Japan to the Coalition. If Chinese intervention can either disrupt the U.S.-ROK war machine through brute force (the destruction of sufficient military assets to make...

Michael Peck, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *History, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Hanoi had gambled that the time was ripe to switch from guerrilla warfare to a conventional offensive that would deliver the death blow to the Saigon government. But the North Vietnamese discovered what had the Germans had learned in Normandy in 1944: mechanized warfare without control of the skies meant tanks and trucks in the open vulnerable to bombing. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Both sides suffered tremendously during the Easter Offensive, and the NVA made gains in the northern provinces.

Did China's J-20 Stealth Fighter Get a Second Set of Eyes?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * It seems algorithms can't yet replace human cognition, despite the possibility of human error. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A second set of eyes and human decision-making capabilities could easily bring added value, as the human brain can quickly adapt to previously unknown emerging variables, analyze strategic, conceptual and tactical dynamics in ways beyond the current reach of computers and therefore ease the burden placed upon an individual pilot. Is there a chance that a two-seat 5th-Generation Stealth fighter might bring some additional ...
