Did You Test Positive for COVID-19? Then Be Sure To Ask This Question.
Ragnar, 'Nox & Friends - 16 hours ago
That question is: HOW MANY CYCLES DID IT TAKE IN THE PCR TEST TO RULE YOU POSITIVE? Are you really infectious? Is it really Covid-1984? Should you be worried? Remember you have a 99.96% chance of not dying from Covid-1984….. Video from Peak Prosperity with Dr. Chris Martenson, PHD, MBA: about 28 minutes. That should alleviate any concerns you have about possibly testing positive for Covid-1984….. ~Ragnar (RFXtFR)

The World Economic Forum and Transhumanism Part 2 - The Internet of Bodies
A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 15 hours ago
Since the COVID-19 pandemic took ahold of the world and gave it a "good shake", the World Economic Forum and its oligarchist membership and leadership has taken a front row seat at the rebuilding of our society to "build it back better". One of the focuses of the group and, in particular, its leader and founder Klaus Schwab, is the intersection of humanity and technology. In Part 1 of this two part series, I looked at some quotes from Schwab's writings regarding "transhumanism", the future of humanity through the implementation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In Part 2, we...

Why the U.S. Navy Never Built Titanium Submarines Like Russia
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Americas* In hindsight, there are numerous reasons why the U.S. Navy did not follow the Soviet shipbuilding industry down the path of titanium hulls. During the late Cold War, the Soviet shipbuilding industry invested substantially into titanium-constricted submarine hulls—but its U.S. counterpart never followed suit. There’s a reason for why the U.S. Navy passed on titanium submarines. Project 705 Lira, better known by its NATO designation Alfa, was among the most innovative Soviet submarines of the 1960s. Powered by a technically impressive lead-c...
Here’s our future: hackers or slaves
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 16 hours ago
*No Escape From Our Techno-Feudal World* By Pepe Escobar The political economy of the Digital Age remains virtually terra incognita. In Techno-Feudalism , published three months ago in France (no English translation yet), Cedric Durand, an economist at the Sorbonne, provides a crucial, global public service as he sifts through the new Matrix that controls all our lives. Durand places the Digital Age in the larger context of the historical evolution of capitalism to show how the Washington consensus ended up metastasized into the Silicon Valley consensus.

China’s Huge Naval Forces are Making U.S. Naval Logistics Vulnerable
David Axe, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* In a war with China, America’s logistical forces would be a prime target. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *To prepare for a major war, the U.S. merchant marine and Military Sealift Command both must grow. At present, the civilian merchant marine, which during wartime would become a naval auxiliary force, possesses around 180 U.S.-flagged vessels. That’s the dire warning that a range of experts have sounded as the Pentagon shifts its focus from counterinsurgency campaigns, which heavily rely on civilian logistics networks, to the possibility of war ...
What Would a Second COVID Stimulus Look Like? These House Members Have an Idea
Matt Weidinger, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Matt Weidinger* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] The bipartisan framework is not a perfect solution, and it has already drawn opposition from both sides. But it includes important features — like focusing more on temporary benefit extensions than on retroactive relief — that if adopted should make reaching a final agreement more likely, not less. Yesterday, a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, including members of the House “Problem Solvers Caucus” led by Representatives Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Tom Reed (R-NY), released a $908 billion framework for extend...
Why Its So Hard to Hold Politicians Accountable for their Mistakes
Chris Aulich, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Chris Aulich* *Politics, Australia* Why didn't Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison deem it sufficiently important to exact accountability from his ministers for their major mistakes, especially when these two cases cost more than a billion dollars of public funds? In recent days, the issue of Australian government accountability was brought into sharp focus — again — when NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian admitted that community grants awarded primarily to councils in Coalition seats ahead of the 2019 state election was pork barrelling. In defence, she said the practice of p...

Fermented Garlic & Honey Recipe
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 17 hours ago
*Peeled garlic cloves can be placed in a sterilized jar & filled with pure honey. Cap & allow this variant of fermenting to marinate at least 6 months. Can eat freely. @ 6 months start another jar. When first jar has no more garlic just refill the garlic reusing the same honey as used for the first jar. You need to date your jars. By the time a jar's a year old, whatever garlic left in it will be like candy, but retain almost all it's virtue. The honey will never go bad but may crystallize. If it crystallizes set jar in a big basin of hot but not boiling water... It will re-melt. ...

The Media Needs to Think About What it Republishes: A Case Study
Bronwyn Howell, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Bronwyn Howell* *Culture, Americas* [image: Reuters] While it may be asking a lot of the media to write knowledgably about highly technical and scientific work, it is definitely reasonable to expect a quick check of the business models of sources and couching any editorial commentary with warnings to alert readers rather than blindly republishing headlines. The debate over whether social media platforms should be held accountable for ensuring the content they carry is “truthful” (whatever that means — perhaps “not fake news” is a better description) continues to rage. Since che...
