The X-44 MANTA Doesn't Look Like a Plane
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Instead of using standard control surfaces to maneuver while in flight, the MANTA maneuvered using thrust vectoring, in which the dual engine’s exhaust nozzles could direct exhaust in various directions. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The X-44 MANTA was a revolutionary design, but it was based on the F-22, which is no longer being produced. As such, we're not likely to see it in the air any time soon. The X-44 MANTA, which stands for Multi-Axis No Tail Aircraft, was a futuristic-looking derivative of Lockheed Ma...

PCR Test for Covid is Highly Misleading
Infinity, 'Nox & Friends - 12 hours ago
The PCR test technique was developed in 1986 by Kary Mullis, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993. It is a remarkable breakthrough in analytical testing because of its incredible sensitivity. Viral samples are multiplied many times, doubling with each cycle. A PCR test of 30 cycles would multiply the original viral bits 2^30 times, or 1,073,741,824 times– more than a BILLION times. If there was a single virus in the original sample, this would produce a billion, making enough copies to be readily detected. This is a good thing, no? Yes, mostly, but it can be … Contin...

Russia's T-95: Could This Tank Doom NATO?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * Had the T-95 entered serial production, it would have been a fearsome adversary. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Although only a few prototypes were ever built, some of the design features were eventually incorporated into the T-14 Armata tank, Russia’s next-generation main battle tank. The T-95 is a tanker’s dream: highly mobile, well armored, with firepower — lots of firepower. Equipped with a 152-millimeter main gun, the T-95 would have outclassed any other tank it faced. By comparison, the German firm Rheinmetall’s L/44 and upgraded L/55 main gun...
The German Air Force Is Buying More Eurofighters
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* These latest aircraft will replace the oldest first-generation Eurofighter jets of the German fleet – with many of those in service since 2004.

Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Middle East* The Arash is massive—based on pictures readily available online, the shoulder-fired rifle looks like it’s around six feet, or nearly two meters long. And the recoil would be huge. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In keeping with Iran’s quasi-tradition of reverse-engineering foreign weapon tech, the Arash appears to mount a Barrett-derived ballistics computer. This neat gadget attaches directly to the top of a scope and can take into account factors like atmospheric pressure and temperature to better aid shooters in getting shots on target...

* Is this the end of college as we know it?* For millions of Americans, getting a four-year degree no longer makes sense. Here’s what could replace it. Rachael Wittern earned straight As in high school, a partial scholarship to college and then a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. She is now 33 years old, lives in Tampa, earns $94,000 a year as a psychologist and says her education wasn’t worth the cost. She carries $300,000 in student debt. Dr. Wittern’s 37-year-old husband worked in a warehouse for several years before becoming an apprentice electrician. He expects to earn comparable...

A virus so deadly…… you have to be tested to know you have it, with a test that is proven to be inaccurate, for a virus that has never been proven to exist and has a 98.8 % survivability rate according to the CDC. “It’s just a mask” will turn into “It’s just a vaccine,” very quickly. In just a few months, our government has successfully divided the country into “obedient mask wearers”, and “selfish people who refuse to wear masks.” Our government has dictated which events are acceptable and we are allowed to attend, and which are not allowed. … Continue reading →

Message to Japan Peace Conference
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 14 hours ago
I was asked to send a message to the Japan Peace Conference that is being held today. Thanks to Regis Tremblay for taping my message and putting it up as a video. I tried to illustrate the key obstacles to nuclear disarmament - particulary the US-NATO military expansion essentially encircling Russia and China along with the steroidal deployments of Pentagon 'missile defense' systems that play a key role in US first-strike attack planning. As long as Washington is pulling out of arms control treaties, refuses to negotiate a ban on weapons in space, and pushes forward with n...

The Crooked Timber of Humanity
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
"Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made,” said Immanuel Kant in his essay, “Idea for a General History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose” (1784). These are wise words from Kant—the timber of humanity is crooked and the proof of that is the conduct of the democratic nations in the year 2020. What have these nations not done to destroy their healthcare, economy, social life, and political culture? There are still around forty days remaining in this year, which, I think, history will record as the *annus horribilis*—what else will these nations do in the remai...
