Terminate NATO
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
The Washington Post has published a long piece calling for NATO to take on a new official enemy — China. The piece is written by Sara Bjerg Moller, an assistant professor in the School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University. She argues that after 30 years since losing the Soviet Union as its official enemy and struggling to find a replacement to justify its continued existence, a perfect replacement would be China.
Money Is Made Up

Have you ever noticed how online capitalism cultists who condescendingly tell socialists they "just don't understand economics" are always unable to lucidly defend their own understanding of economics? If you've never pressed such a character to clearly and concisely explain what it is you "don't understand" using their own words, I highly recommend that you try it, because it's one of the funniest things in the world. If you keep interrogating them about each aspect of their belief system, demanding that they explain exactly what it is they know and how they know it, they will in...

There’s Only One State Where Falling Behind On Rent Could Mean Jail Time
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Arkansas state Rep. Nicole Clowney, D-Fayetteville, introduced a bill Thursday that would repeal the state’s criminal “failure to vacate” statute. First enacted in 1901, the law allows landlords to seek criminal charges, which can result in jail time, for tenants who fall even a single day behind on rent and do not vacate a property within 10 days. Everywhere else in the U.S., evictions are exclusively a civil matter. The legislation comes after a ProPublica and Arkansas Nonprofit News Network article in October revealed how criminal charges brought under the statute can snowball ...

Watch a live broadcast from central Paris where people are gathering on Saturday 20 March to march against "systemic racism and police brutality." Organised by several activist groups to mark the International Day Against Police Brutality (15 March) and the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (21 March), people are demanding the creation of an independent entity to monitor the use of force by police officers and reparation for victims of police brutality.

Pasture Cropping – The Innovative No-Kill, No-Till System
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Regenerative agriculture is a global farming revolution with rapid uptake and interest around the world. Five years ago hardly anyone had heard about it. It is in the news nearly everyday now. This agricultural revolution has been led by innovative farmers rather than scientists, researchers and governments. It is being applied to all agricultural sectors including cropping, grazing and perennial horticulture. In previous articles we have described how regenerative agriculture maximizes the photosynthesis of plants to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to increase soil or...

Subverting the preferences of parents regarding their own children, and disdaining parents who object as moral and cognitive inferiors, driven only by ignorance and “privilege” – and doing all this with an air of self-satisfaction and self-elevation, as “equity leaders” bravely correcting the world – well, this has obvious appeal, for certain kinds of people.… Continue reading →
Shocker: North Korea Has Built Underground Air Fields
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea, Asia* These hidden, hardened air bases could help Pyongyang launch attacks and keep some of its planes safe while it fights a war. *Key point: *Finding these hidden bases would not be easy. However, once located, they would be hit by weapons especially designed for targets deep in the earth. North Korea, one of the most secretive countries in the world, is no stranger to building underground military facilities. Whether a tunnel dug under the demilitarized zone designed to pass thousands of troops an hour, or bunkers to accommodate the regime’s lead...
What Happened When a Russian Submarine Smashed into a U.S. Aircraft Carrier?

*David Axe* *Aircraft Carriers, * It was common throughout the Cold War for NATO and Soviet submarines to stalk surface ships and other submarines. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The 1984 collision was far from being the only incident. It was common throughout the Cold War for NATO and Soviet submarines to stalk surface ships and other submarines in order to gather intelligence and work out tactics for sinking the vessels in the event the conflict escalated into a shooting war. More than once, these undersea stalkings went awry. Collisions damaged ships and subs on both sides....
Carbon Offsets Offer A Fantasy Of Capitalism Without Crises
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
Governments, companies and sometimes entire sectors are increasingly proposing to use carbon offsets in response to the deepening climate crisis. In theory, offsetting allows organisations to compensate for their own emissions by paying towards low-carbon projects elsewhere, but the practice has been mired in scientific problems and scandals, and it has been widely critiqued in the social sciences. With the UK government now seeking to turn London into a global hub for the carbon offset trade, it’s worth asking why it is still so prominent. My research on what I have called the fa...

On January 13, one week before the inauguration of Joe Biden as the forty-sixth president of the United States and seven long days after the storming of the Capitol by an armed right-wing mob, it was easy enough to miss an article published in the journal Frontiers in Conservation Science, despite its eye-catching title: “Underestimating the Challenges of Avoiding a Ghastly Future.” The headline was itself a train wreck: six dully innocuous words piling up in front of a modifier more suitable to a 1950s horror comic than a sober, academic journal. But there it was: The 17 scientis...

Enbridge Is ‘Funding And Incentivizing’ Police To Crack Down On Its Opponents

Park Rapids, MN - Jane Fonda’s trip to Minnesota has not gone exactly as planned. She expected attention from the media. She did not expect attention from the police. The actress and climate activist told HEATED on Tuesday that her much-publicized press conference to oppose the Line 3 tar sands pipeline was delayed because of an extended interaction with the Minnesota State Patrol. On her way to the event, the vehicle leading her caravan was pulled over for failure to signal more than 100 feet before a turn. “We pulled over to wait for them, it took a long time to process their i...

*Michael Peck* *North Korea, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2XBF90MZ8O&share=true] Pyongyang could achieve a lot of damage through a surprise attack, but using strategies from the first Korean War might not work on a modern battlefield. *Key point:* China managed to bring UN forces to a stand still. However, another Korean War today would involve better trained and high-tech forces vs North Korea's aging arsenal.

The Bizarre, Fascinating Story Behind the AK-12 Rifle

*Charlie Gao* *Rifles, Eurasia* The heart of the new AK-12 is practically unchanged from the first AKs that rolled off the production line in the 1940s. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The entire AK-12 saga is a sign of how the Russian military’s arms procurement is highly resistant to change. In early 2018, the AK-12 made by Kalashnikov Concern was officially recommended by the Russian Ministry of Defense for adoption by the Russian Army. This marked the probable end of a long search for the next rifle for the Russian military. But the adopted rifle was completely different than...

*Mark Episkopos* *A-10, Americas* In the decades following the end of World War II, western demand for close-air-support (CAS) aircraft—that is, armored strike fighters that carry out attack missions in conjunction with friendly units—dropped precipitously. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The Warthog is showing its age in 2021 but has so far survived the Air Force’s multiple attempts to retire it.

Meet Russia's Sleek New Borei Submarines: Stealth Sea Assassins?

Moments later, an undersea volcano seemingly erupted from the depths. Amidst roiling smoke, f...

*“More to Come…”* By Jeff Thomas “Years ago, when visiting the US, I’d often watch late night television. Just prior to each interval, in order to ensure that viewers would sit through the adverts, the show would run a panel that said, “More to Come.” This, of course, was effective, as the viewer would be anticipating that the best part of the program would come in a later segment and would be more likely to continue watching. Today, we’re looking at the reverse of that situation. The program we’re watching is The Decline and Fall of the American Empire and those who recognize the...
