The Children of Fallujah: The Medical Mystery at the Heart of the Iraq War
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
I do think that there is a clear biolgical risk with vaporized depleted uranium and I also think it is known but not disclosed. A heavy active atom is not mobalized easily and removed by the body and this sets the stage for forced molecular reactions. Birth defects become an expected outcome. I do think lead produces the same effect. Typically lead retention half life is 28 days. DU is surely worse. Whatever is said we have a clear demonstration of the effect, unless an alternative explanation is on tap. We need to avoid using DU in the urban setting. That may well be poss...
The nine veils that shroud the human Experience
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Perhaps we will now see the end of this hiearchal MEME. The presence of an alien class of rulars has been posited for some time and their exit is completely plausible, but only through the application of the rule of twelve and open full disclosure. All that is possible today. The Rule of Twelve will alow a full expansion of the human imagination and enterprise. That will be welcome. There is nothing here i am not already familiar with. Proving reality is quite another matter. The Reptilian MEME continous to be suspect and ill backed by reports, but some do exist. Yet it now...
Wait Just a Minute! Some Very Good News May Be Coming
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This gives us a telling analysis of what is now happening on the ground. The known fraud is visibly huge and children, the reversals are going just one way. Also if the reported truckloads of ballots were mashed into the whole, the decision goes back to the state legistlature. All this is completely publicizing full press criminal voting behavior. How can this process survive full disclosure? It is not a stray vote but a clear business plan. My own caslculations tell me that in 2016, we had perhaps 85,000,000 votes cast. the HRC machine made up around 15,000,000 votes. THi...

How Mussolini Brought Italy to Ruin
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Mussolini had served in World War I as a combat-wounded Bersaglieri, a member of one of Italy’s most elite formations. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Benito Mussolini, the blacksmith’s son from the village of Forli, had been brought to office by the successive failure of several Liberal governments, a general apathy to politics, and the fear of high taxes and social reform on the part of the landed gentry that financed the Fascist Party.

To Take on Iraq’s Pro-Iran Militias, al-Kadhimi Must Go Beyond Politics
Tom Webster, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Tom Webster* *Security, Middle East* Kadhimi’s approach neglects the economic basis through which the militias are able to procure weapons, recruit members, and launch attacks independent of their Iranian sponsors. Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi has made the restoration of Iraq’s sovereignty a key priority on his agenda for the country. Included in this is an attempt to curb powerful Iran-backed militia factions of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMUs) which threaten to prolong Iraq’s insecurity. Kadhimi has launched a political containment strategy towards this end, ...

[image: Armenian Parliament fails to hold session on Pashinyan’s future] On Wednesday, the Armenian Parliament failed to hold a session to discuss the demands of thousands of protesters about dismissing Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan due to the signing of a ceasefire agreement that guaranteed the territorial transfer of most of Karabakh to Azerbaijan. The truce ended the six-week-long war between the Artsakh Defense Army Army and Azerbaijani Armed Forces, as the latter declared ‘victory’ shortly after the agreement was announced on Tuesday.
