Releasing the Makara or the Kraken
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
Donald Trump’s lawyer Sidney Powell recently said, “I will release the Kraken.” This makes me wonder what is the counterpart of the Kraken in Hindu mythology—there are quite a few; the entity called *Makara*, which means sea-dragon or water-monster, is often described in the ancient mythological texts. During the Vedic age, Varuna, the lord of the sea, used to ride on the *Makaras*, which are called “water-monster *vahana*” (vehicle). The *Makaras *are also described as the *vahana *of the River Goddess Ganga and Narmada, and as the guardians to the gateways which lead to different ...

Maybe Cable TV and Satellite Aren't Dying a Quick Death After All?
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Technology, Americas* The nation’s top pay-TV providers lost 120,000 net video subscribers in the third quarter. It’s a large number, but much smaller than the figures during the first half of 2020.

How Ethiopia's Civil War Emboldens Jihadis in Somalia
Jack Erickson, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Jack Erickson* *Al-Shabaab, East Africa* Ethiopian troops help fight Al-Shabaab in Somalia. What happens when they're called back home? Observers could be forgiven for thinking these days that East Africa is on the verge of unraveling. An ongoing conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray province is affecting the entire region, with its consequences being felt most keenly in Somalia. In the Tigray there exists the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, a political party that governed the country up until recently but has since been sidelined following the ascension of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ...
Australians May be Able to Buy a COVID Vaccine Ahead of the Government Rollout. But Cutting in Line Comes at a Price

*Barbara Mintzes, Joel Lexchin, Kellia Chiu, Zhicheng Wang* *Coronavirus, Australia* A private market puts wealth ahead of need and compromises the organiation and efficacy of the vaccine rollout for everyone. As the world continues to battle COVID-19, the prospect of a vaccine gives us hope of returning to some kind of “normal” in the not too distant future. The Australian government has signed supply agreements with manufacturers of four COVID vaccines currently in clinical trials.

Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Asia* China’s Kilo-class submarines remain a salient tool in a prospective confrontation with NATO assets in Chinese coastal waters and could pose a credible threat to Taiwan in certain offensive scenarios. The only active-service Chinese submarine of foreign origin, Russia’s Kilo-class continues to fill a valuable local defense role within the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). Diesel-electric submarines have long formed the backbone of Beijing’s littoral defenses, with the PLAN operating a wide swathe of imported and license-built Soviet diesel-...

Christoph Bluth, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Christoph Bluth* *Security, Middle East* While air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may delay the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran, they will not prevent it. Donald Trump asked his senior advisers to examine options for air strikes against Iran’s main nuclear installation, the New York Times reported recently.

*Kate Korycki* *Women's Rights, Europe* The protesters aren’t just calling for the expansion of women’s as well as LGBTQ rights. They’re also demanding a secular state in a direct challenge to the power the church has had over Poland since it transitioned to democracy in 1989. The protesting women of Poland have captured the world’s attention. Since October, they’ve taken to the streets to protest restrictions on reproductive rights that were already almost non-existent.

How Can Australia Avoid Another 'Systemic Polling Failure'?

*Darren Pennay* *Politics, Australia* U.S. election polls greatly overestimated Biden's lead. But Australia has had major polling issues of their own.

Prominent examples of the polls performing below expectations include the United Kingdom’s 2015 general election, the 2016 Brexit referendum and the United States’ 2016 presidential election.

He's lying
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
I'm seeing more and more extremists, mostly on the progressive left of US politics, trying to frame issues on the basis of "either-or" messaging. If you're not one thing, you're the other. If you don't support this cause, it means you obviously support that other cause. There's no middle ground, no gray areas, no equivocation. Here's an example posted on Twitter a few days ago. It's a lie, of course. Anyone offering such an equivalence is defining the two terms, or the two sides, to suit themselves. I'd be interested to hear what the writer of that tweet defines as a "f...

Say Goodbye to Stargazing: SpaceX's Starlink Satellites are about to Ruin it for Everyone
Samantha Lawler, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*Samantha Lawler* *Technology, * If mega-constellations of satellites become reality, the night sky will become a mundane highway of moving lights, obscuring the stars. I walk outside my rural Saskatchewan house before dawn and look up, expecting to have my breath taken away by the sheer number of stars overhead. I’m a professional astronomer, but I still appreciate naked-eye stargazing as much as an eager child. This is the first place I’ve lived that’s dark enough to easily see the Milky Way, and I’m stunned and awed every time I look up. This time though, I curse softly. Ther...

Glyphosate: Hypocrisy and Public Health in the UK
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 20 hours ago
The government is extremely worried about a substance that could be contributing to a spiralling public health crisis that has been decades in the making. It has been detected in food and in urine. The government has therefore decided to carry out mass urine testing. It has found millions of ‘cases’. The more it tests, the more ‘cases’ it finds. The government and the media promote the message we are all at risk and should get tested. Hundreds of millions of pounds have been spent to allow for the testing of the entire population.
