FDA Shuts Down Natural Pain Options
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
FDA-approved pain medicines are dangerous, but the government is systematically attacking safer, non-addictive natural treatments. A recent study in Switzerland found that acetaminophen poisoning increased by 40% following the approval of 1,000mg doses. This is just the latest data to indicate the public health problems caused by this commonly used pain drug, which is the active ingredient in Tylenol. Despite the dangers of FDA-approved pain drugs, the federal government aggressively attacks and censors natural pain medicines like homeopathic treatments, CBD, medical foods, and sup...
When Will Your Kids Get the COVID Vaccine? Your Questions, Answered
Wesley Kufel, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Wesley Kufel* *Public Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] There are still many unanswered questions. As time goes on, we’ll have more answers. The first U.S. COVID-19 vaccines are expected in clinics in mid-December, and states are drawing up plans for who should get vaccinated first. But one important group is absent: children. While two vaccines are expected to be cleared soon for adult use in the U.S., testing is only now getting started with children – and only with adolescents. There are still a lot of unknowns. As an infectious disease pharmacist and professor who helps ma...
Bad News: The U.S. Army’s Newest Big Gun Is Outranged by China and Russia
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* There clearly is still room for improvement. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The new variant of the Paladin offers improved overall performance over its predecessor. Last week, the U.S. Army hosted a live-fire demonstration of its upgraded M109A7 Paladin, which is set to replace the older M109A6 version of the self-propelled 155mm howitzer. The newly upgraded Paladin, which is produced by BAE Systems, provides increased combat capability and sustainment of the Army’s Armored Brigade Combat Teams. “Say hello to the M109A7 Paladin, and the most r...
USS Wolverine: America's Training Aircraft Carrier in World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* The U.S. Navy bought two ships and converted them into flattops. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Practice makes perfect. In August 1942, the U.S. Navy acquired the 1913 USS Seeandbee (using the initials of its parent company, the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company), the world’s largest side-wheel passenger steamer, and began converting it into a training carrier. Her name was changed to USS Wolverine (IX-64), and she was designated an “unclassified miscellaneous auxiliary.” Conversion resulted in the ship being fitted with a 550-fo...
China's Drone Program is Top-Notch - And Getting Better All the Time
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] China’s arms exports are slowing after a massive surge over the last few years. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *China's drone program hasn't been nearly as conspicuous as America's. But the country has successfully exported domestic drone models to developing countries over the past decade. For years, drone warfare has been an essentially American pursuit. The new age of armed robots has been symbolized by Predators and Reapers spewing Hellfire missiles. But guess who’s the biggest exporter of combat drones? China. “In 2014–1...

Spread thin during the middle years of the Iraq occupation, the Marine Corps developed a concept it called "distributed operations," wherein companies of a hundred or so Marines operated independently, relying on junior leaders to creatively interpret vague orders from their chain of command.

A Russian Nuclear Attack Would Have Left U.S. Missile Submarines in the Dark
Joseph Trevithick, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Joseph Trevithick* *Security, Europe* For a time, the Pentagon was seriously worried that its own nuclear missile submarines wouldn’t the order to retaliate in time. A key component of the U.S. doctrine of mutually assured destruction — commonly and appropriately known as MAD — was that American troops would still be able to retaliate if the Soviet Union launched a nuclear attack. But for a time, the Pentagon was seriously worried that its own nuclear missile submarines wouldn’t get those orders in time.

Why a War in the South China Sea Could Cost Trillions of Dollars
David Uren, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*David Uren* *Conflict, Asia Pacific* Southeast Asia will take a major economic hit if shipping is blocked in the South China Sea. A military conflict in the South China Sea would force most shipping from Europe, the Middle East and Africa destined for Asia and the US west coast to be diverted around the south of Australia. The additional shipping cost would bring reductions in economic activity around the world, but with dire effects on countries at the epicentre, according to a study published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research.

How Hitler Learned to Despise Russia’s T-34 Medium Tank

*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* A truly versatile aircraft. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Pentagon continues to adapt the B-1 to fit its evolving warfighting needs. Huge yet surprisingly sleek and agile, the U.S. Air Force’s B-1 Lancer strategic bombers—popularly dubbed “Bones” for B-ONE—circles over battlefields in Syria and Afghanistan like angels of death dispensing GPS-guided bombs from on high. Yet the B-1 started out as an over-priced nuclear bomber that was arguably obsolete by the time it entered service. Thus, a bomber designed to dodge Soviet surface-to...
Russia’s Amazing T-95 Tank Should Have Made History
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * Why didn’t it? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Although only a few prototypes were ever built, some of the design features, including the high-output engine, tall turret with greater depression and elevation angles, 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 ...
Russia’s Spetsnaz Special Forces Can Kill You (Even If You Have Body Armor)
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * They cut through it like cheese. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The VSS Vintorez and AS Val rifles are excellent examples of two different operational requirements— armor-piercing capability and suppression— coming together under excellent Soviet gunsmithing. The fact that they are still issued today are a testament to their quality and indicate they will continue to be used by Russia for some time to come. Cut back to the late 1980s. NATO troops are increasingly issued more and better body armor. Flack jackets and helmets are designed to defeat ...
Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program Is No Joke
David Axe, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2LHI9E2TT7&share=true] These missiles can hit land and sea targets throughout the region. *Key point: *These missiles are a long-standing threat. They are also a source of contention between Iran and America. Iran is continuing to develop increasingly long-range ballistic missiles -- and is firing some shorter-range missiles in combat -- despite demands from the U.S. government that the Islamic republic totally give up any weapons that could, in theory, carry a n...
The Sino-Vietnamese War: This 1979 Conflict Forever Changed Asia
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Asia* The Chinese war intended to “teach Vietnam a lesson” ended up being instructive both politically and operationally, though only at a terrible cost in human life for both sides. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Sino-Vietnamese war is generally perceived in the West as humiliating for Chinese forces. At 5 AM on February 17, 1979, a massive artillery bombardment rippled across Vietnam’s mountainous northern border with China. Waves of soldiers from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) swarmed towards the startled Vietnamese soldiers hunke...
Unlike UK, U.S. FDA Allows Pregnant and Nursing Women to Receive Experimental Pfizer COVID Vaccine
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 9 hours ago
The U.S. FDA has given emergency use authorization (EUA) to the experimental Pfizer COVID mRNA vaccine, a type of vaccine that has never before been authorized for use in humans. The FDA's EUA for the Pfizer COVID vaccine follows an emergency use authorization in the U.K. about 10 days ago. Both governments have issued guidelines for the new vaccines, one set of guidelines for doctors and healthcare providers who will administer the vaccine, and a shorter set of guidelines for "recipients" who plan on taking the vaccine. Even though these guidelines cover the same vaccine from the ...

Foreign Minister Arreaza To US ‘Ambassador’
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
Venezuela scoffed at the presentation of credentials by the person in charge of the US “virtual embassy” in Colombia, pointing out that his office in Caracas awaits him. James Story, assigned as the supposed US ambassador to Venezuela, delivered his credentials to the fugitive Venezuelan opposition politician Julio Borges, “envoy” of the self-proclaimed president of Venezuela, coup leader Juan Guaidó, on Monday in Bogotá, the Colombian capital, reflecting the White House’s commitment to the opposition and to regime change in Venezuela.

OAS’s New Attempt To Interfere In Venezuela Rejected
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
On Wednesday, the representatives of Argentina, Mexico, and Bolivia to the Organization of American States (OAS) rejected a new resolution that disregards Venezuela's Sunday elections and calls for a transitional government. The representatives condemned the new attempts of destabilization against Venezuela, noting the belligerent strategy promoted by the OAS resolution that claimed the elections did not observe International Law's guarantees. Argentina's ambassador to the OAS Carlos Raimundi rejected both the calls to not recognize the elections' results and the imposition of co...
Yet Another Major Escalation In Establishment Internet Censorship
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
YouTube, whose corporate owner Google is arguably the most powerful company on earth, is now deleting user videos which claim the US election was fraudulent. YouTube's official statement on its decision to do this is very revealing, not so much for what it says as for what it does not say. At no point does the video publishing platform attempt to argue that it is removing these videos because they jeopardize anyone's health or safety, as it did when it began deleting videos deemed to be spreading misinformation about Covid-19. At no point does it attempt to argue that these vide...

Recently-appointed Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry has announced his intention of dealing with the pressing issue of global warming as a national security concern. “America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is,” the 76-year-old former Secretary of State wrote. “I am proud to partner with the President-elect, our allies, and the young leaders of the climate movement to take on this crisis.” The announcement drew praise from many professional climate activists and groups, perhaps assuming that Kerry...

How Serious Are We?
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 9 hours ago
The Liberals have finally come up with a broad climate change policy. Adam Radwanski writes: For five years since their Paris Agreement commitment to cut greenhouse-gas emissions 30 per cent by 2030, it was never clear how that was supposed to happen – not with the government mostly dabbling in green policies that didn’t add up to nearly enough. Now, Canadians have a credible answer, courtesy of the climate-policy plan for the next decade that Ottawa released on Friday, and it’s contentious enough that it could easily be a pivotal question in an election next year. Having in the...
