Opening the CIA’s Can of Worms
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 6 hours ago
“The CIA and the media are part of the same criminal conspiracy,” wrote Douglas Valentine in his important book, The CIA As Organized Crime. This is true. The corporate mainstream media are stenographers for the national security state’s ongoing psychological operations aimed at the American people, just as they have done the same for an international audience.

*"The Most Overrated American Presidents"* by Bill Bonner "The benefit of royalty is that they are as variable as the gene pool itself. One king has a long nose, like Louis 14th. Another has a pert, little nose that turns up and makes him look boyish, even when he’s commanding executioners.

Ireland Turned Around One of the Biggest COVID Spikes in the World
Luke O'Neill, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Luke O'Neill* *Coronavirus, Europe* One thing Ireland teaches us is even a limited amount of social mixing – which is what most people did – is enough to allow COVID-19 to re-erupt. Ireland had the fastest and highest spike in cases in the world in January. This happened because, in early December, confirmed cases in the community were deemed to be low enough to allow some easing of restrictions. At that stage, Ireland had the lowest incidence of COVID-19 in Europe, which had been achieved with a second lockdown in November. Restaurants and non-essential retail were opened, and ...

Researchers arrived at their conclusion after studying 254 entrepreneurs to see whether “cannabis users generate new venture ideas that are more original, but less feasible, compared to non-users.” The answer is yes, researchers said. “Cannabis users […] Cannabis spurs creative but unrealistic ideas, study shows is a post from: Marijuana Business Daily: Financial, Legal & Cannabusiness news for cannabis entrepreneurs
South Korea’s Ongoing Quest for Security Independence
Peter Banseok Kwon, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Peter Banseok Kwon* *Security, Asia* Moon Jae-in is forging a path towards greater political autonomy and economic revitalisation. South Korea’s military spending is significant by world standards, and has grown rapidly under the Moon Jae-in administration even while rapprochement with North Korea remains a priority. Although the rise in defence spending might be interpreted as a response to the North’s expanding nuclear capabilities and other regional threats, a deeper look suggests it might have more to do with internal dynamics and South Korea’s US alliance. South Korea will...
Cities Sending Mental Health Experts, Not Cops, And It Works
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
As TFTP reported last week, Christian Joseph Hall, 19, was in the midst of a mental health crisis. He positioned himself on top of an overpass on I-80 leading to police closing off the road and engaging with him. Moments after police arrived, however, Hall would be dead. Video would prove he had his hands in the air and had surrendered when cops opened fire. Hall has now become one of over 1,400 people in a mental health crisis to lose their lives to police since 2015. As TFTP has pointed out, even cops who voluntarily attend Crisis Intervention Training (CIT), have shown that the...

*Matthew T.

And with good reason. Studies have found that students acquire new skills and networks that enhance their job prospects. In the years just after graduating from college, students who have an internship are 15% less likely to be unemployed and earn 6% more than students who did not. Simply put, an internship is widely viewed as a “must-have” experience for college students. H...
