"Bingo Game for Dyslexic Lunatics"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
*"Bingo Game for Dyslexic Lunatics"* By Bill Bonner YOUGHAL, IRELAND – "The gambling goes on. The stakes get higher. You’ll recall that “inflation” refers to additions to the money supply. When you have a gold-backed system, you can’t really inflate the money supply, because you can’t easily get your hands on more gold. Typically, the amount of gold above ground increases at about the same rate as the goods and services it is meant to represent. That’s why prices today – in gold terms – are not so different from those 1,000 years ago (with a generous and elastic allowance for techn...

Rishi Sunak's Two-Nation Toryism

So much for good old-fashioned British reserve. Let's try and absent the politics from Sunak's budget for a moment and narrow our imagi...

Schools are reopening, and many sports arenas that had previously kept out fans will begin letting them in starting in March. Texas, in fact, lifted all coronavirus restrictions, including its mask mandate, earlier this week. A report...

The Heritage Charter Academy of Cape Coral, Florida plugs itself as a "free public charter school," but that turns out to be not entirely true. As reported earlier this week, the charter schools of Cape Coral are in deep financial trouble. The charters run by Oasis Charter Schools can't afford their lease. So they are facing some serious deficit spending issues, as described by a city official: *“If everything stays the way it is today right now … their fund balance would actually be depleted by 2024,” Assistant City Manager Connie Barron said.* Cape Coral is a city in southwest F...

USS Intrepid: The Aircraft Carrier Japan Just Couldn't Sink
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, * The Intrepid sustained a total of 270 casualties during the Second World War. *Here's What You Need to Know*: This ship helped sink the biggest battleship to ever set sail. "Intrepid" means "fearless, undaunted, adventurous," and all those words could certainly describe the World War II aircraft carrier that is now a floating museum on New York City's West Side. Commissioned in August 1943 the *USS Intrepid* (CV-11) was the fourth ship to bear the name, but perhaps the one to earn it most. The keel for the *Essex-*class *USS Intrepid* was laid down jus...

Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 8 hours ago

Question: Why Are U.S. Army Helicopters Landing on U.S. Navy Warships?

*Peter Suciu* *Security, * The U.S. Army and U.S. Navy have conducted similar integration operations with Special Operations in the past. *Here's What You Need to Know*: This cooperative exercise highlighted how the Army and Navy can come together in the volatile Gulf region. The inter-service rivalry between the United States Army and the United States Navy is one that is typically expressed on the football field and dates back to the 1890 – but when it comes to actual military operates the services have shown that they can work quite well together.

Israel Is Proving the F-35 Stealth Fighter Is All Sorts of Awesome
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *F-35, * Israel has been a great tester for U.S. weapons. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *One of F-35’s key capabilities come from its superior ability to soak up data with its sensors and share it with friendly forces. Compatibility with datalinks used by friendly Israeli air and ground forces is thus an important aspect from Israel’s perspective as it tracks the position of hostile surface-to-surface rocket launchers and surface-to-air missiles systems. On May 22, Israeli Air Force commander Amikam Norkin announced that its F-35I stealth fighters had flo...

*"The COVID Fraud Will Not Stay Hidden Forever"* by Martin Armstrong "The medical profession has really bought into COVID because of the simple fact that they got paid bonuses if the person had COVID. They were claiming that COVID was impacting minorities more, but failed to mention that if you did not have insurance and said you had COVID, the government paid 100% of all the medical expenses. They bribed medical professionals to turn COVID into a national crisis, and even with all of the hype the death toll is only 0.028%. Now families are starting to demand investigations because...

Belief in the killer coronaviruses is the new religion. If you keep believing government and mass media lies, you will become dysfunctional or insane. Healthy people should never wear masks, social distance or self-isolate. Not only are these strategies unhealthy from a physical standpoint, they also perpetuate the delusional psychosis gripping the nation and therefore must end. Mass insanity caused by fear of COVID-19. Fear morphed into a delusional belief that masks, gloves and physical separation is required to stay alive. This delusion has taken such hold that even if the mask...

Last week, the U.S. military bombed a site near al-Hurri, along the Iraqi border inside Syria, where Iranian-backed Iraqi militias were allegedly stationed. Although the U.S. launched its missiles across an international border (and without the approval of Congress), White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki framed the strike as a ​“defensive” response to a series of rocket attacks that have killed one and wounded several Americans over the past two weeks. The American bombing left ​“up to a handful dead,” according to one U.S. official who spoke with CNN, and Tehran condemned the ass...

Coup Leaders, Aung San Suu Kyi Betrayed Democracy In Burma

What is taking place in Burma right now is a military coup. There can be no other description for such an unwarranted action as the dismissal of the government by military decree and the imposition of Min Aung Hlaing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, as an unelected ruler. However, despite the endless talk about democratization, Burma was, in the years leading up to the coup, far from being a true democracy. Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the country’s erstwhile ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), has done very little to bring about meaningful change since she w...
