There is every indication that plans for a second putsch attempt on Inauguration Day—January 20—are now underway. The minimal police presence at the Capitol building on Wednesday was not a mistake or oversight, as the corporate media has ...

Why Kimber’s 1911 Pistol Is an Amazing Weapon

Germany's Type 212A Submarine: A Real Stealth Sub?

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 8 hours ago

*Peter Suciu* *Type 212A, Europe* As the German Navy has expanded its operating area to cover the waters of Northern Europe, the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea, the Type-212A has been crucial—allowing Germany to operate in the littoral areas as well as the open sea. Germany wasn’t the first nation to utilize submarines, but in 1905 followed the British Royal Navy’s new focus on the then-cutting edge technology by adopting the U-1 (Unterseeboot 1). The 139-foot long boat was powered on the surface by a heavy oil engine and by an electric motor when submerged; and while ...

As Americans struggle to find the right words to describe the civil unrest in Washington, DC that resulted in thousands of citizens storming the Capitol Building, some reporting is suggesting that key NATO allies may be inclined to view the incident as a deliberate coup attempt, perhaps with the complicity of federal law ...

Davos Crowd Embraces Big Global Government

*Davos Crowd Embraces Big Global Government* 1-26-20 ‘Stakeholder capitalism’ empowers unaccountable elites at the expense of free-market nationalism.
