We Are Living In An Emergency That Requires Urgent Action

Large parts of the world – outside of China and a few other countries – face a runaway virus, which has not been stopped because of criminal incompetence by governments. That these governments in wealthy countries cynically set aside the basic scientific protocols released by the World Health Organisation and by scientific organisations reveals their malicious practice. Anything less than focusing attention to managing the virus by testing, contact tracing, and isolation – and if this does not suffice, then imposing a temporary lockdown – is foolhardy.

Why Did Britain Invade French Madagascar in World War II?
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Africa* British forces were compelled to invade the island off the coast of East Africa amid fears of a Japanese invasion. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Churchill called the campaign for Madagascar “our first large-scale amphibious operation since the Dardanelles.” “The first I saw of Madagascar and the last after adventurous months ashore was the eerie color of the soil,” a British novelist turned security sergeant would write a decade later. “It gave to the sky, the vegetation, and the people a strangeness, even a deathliness which still...
Explained: The U.S. Coast Guard's New Offshore Patrol Cutters
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2018%3Anewsml_RC1CD44B5D50&share=true] The existing fleet of Medium Endurance Cutters are old and need to be phased out. The U.S. Coast Guard helps intercept dangerous shipments of illegal drugs and supports the U.S. Navy securing international waterways, thwarting terrorism, crime and piracy. In addition, perhaps most of all, they regularly rescue people on the brink of death. As a service, the U.S. Coast Guard is at times under-recognized despite being increasingly in demand, a...
A New Book Analyzes The Impact Of COVID-19 On The US And China
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed China and the United States on the opposite ends of human progress. In the U.S., massive casualties of the pandemic have been coupled with the worst capitalist crash since the Great Depression. The story is much different in China. China began re-opening its economy as early as April of 2020. Deaths due to COVID-19 are virtually non-existent, and economists now predict that China’s economy will surpass the U.S. economy in GDP terms two years ahead of schedule. Capitalism on a Ventilator: The Impact of COVID-19 in China and the U.S. is an anthology...

*Sebastien Roblin* *Seawolf-Class, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C1997%3Anewsml_PBEAHUMNTBI&share=true] This submarine class is a Cold War beast. *Key point: *These submarines are very expensive, but incredibly useful and stealthy.

How Activists Shut Down Key Pipeline Projects In New York

If all had gone according to plan, the Constitution pipeline would be carrying fracked gas 124 miles from the shale gas fields of Pennsylvania through streams, wetlands, and backyards across the Southern Tier of New York until west of Albany. There it would join two existing pipelines, one that extends into New England and the other to the Ontario border as part of a vast network that moves fracked gas throughout the northeastern United States and Canada. For a while, everything unfolded as expected. When the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the project in 2014, the U...
Crisis, What Crisis? Hypocrisy and Public Health in the UK

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.

Why Haven't Crocodiles Evolved Much Since The Age Of The Dinosaurs?

A lot has changed since the age of dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago. Humans didn't exist and dinosaurs are gone. Yet crocodiles are still here and, unlike humans, have not evolved much by comparison. They even look similar to ones from the Jurassic period some 200 million years ago. A new study find that it's due to a 'stop-start' pattern of evolution, governed by environmental change. This pattern of evolution known as "punctuated equilibrium" is generally slow, but occasionally means faster evolution because the environment has changed. This new research suggests that ...

It's a good example of the kinds of re-opening challenges that parents and teachers are facing, the kind of thing that is being pushed out as a "plan" by a major district.
