CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
*“About Sacred Texts”* “All ancient books which have once been called sacred by man, will have their lasting place in the history of mankind, and those who possess the courage, the perseverance, and the self-denial of the true miner, and of the true scholar, will find even in the darkest and dustiest shafts what they are seeking for, - real nuggets of thought, and precious jewels of faith and hope.” - Max Müller, "Introduction to the Upanishads" Vol. II. “This site is a freely available archive of electronic texts about religion, mythology, legends and folklore, and occult and esot...
“The Web Gallery of Art”
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
*“The Web Gallery of Art”* “The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and searchable database of European painting and sculpture of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, Romanticism and Realism periods (1100-1850), currently containing over 50,500 reproductions. It was started in 1996 as a topical site of the Renaissance art, originated in the Italian city-states of the 14th century and spread to other countries in the 15th and 16th centuries. Intending to present Renaissance art as comprehensively as possible, the scope of the collection was later extended to show its ...
“Luminarium”
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
*“Luminarium”* by Anniina Jokinen “This site combines several sites first created in 1996 to provide a starting point for students and enthusiasts of English Literature. Nothing replaces a quality library, but hopefully this site will help fill the needs of those who have not access to one. Many works from Medieval, Renaissance, Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries can be found here. The site started in early 1996. I remember looking for essays to spark an idea for a survey class I was taking at the time. It seemed that finding study materials online was prohibitively difficult and...

Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 6 hours ago
*AMAZON’S IMPENDING TAKEOVER: The One-Stop Shop for Smart Cities with Digital Currency Control* By Corey's Digs This sounds like a dystopian science fiction movie, but unfortunately, it’s already in the works, they are just putting the final touches on their master plan. A “smart city?” Shop for products, food, and healthcare while [they are] tracking us? A biometrics palm scanner? All autonomous vehicles and public transit? No more cash or credit cards – all digital currency? The ability to freeze our accounts or prevent us from purchasing certain items? Does this sound c...

Increasing Desperation As The US Capitalist System Declines
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
Like all previous economic systems in recorded history, capitalism is on track to repeat the same three-step trip: birth, evolution, and death. The timing and other specifics of each system’s trip differ. Births and evolutions are commonly experienced as positive, celebrated for their progress and promise. The declines and deaths, however, are often denied and usually feel difficult and depressing. Notwithstanding endlessly glib political speeches about bright futures, U.S. capitalism has reached and passed its peak. Like the British Empire after World War I, the trip now is painf...
72-Year-Old Fisher Hunger Strikes For Crude Oil Export Ban
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
Texas - Seventy-two-year-old, fourth-generation retired shrimper Diane Wilson has been without food for 16 days. Her 1995 red Chevy, nicknamed “Rosie,” has become a mobile campsite, and each morning she posts up on a causeway at the waterfront of Texas’ Lavaca Bay, expending just enough energy to switch out a sign displaying the number of days she’s been on hunger strike and drape a banner off the side of the truck blaring the message: “STOP THE DREDGING. STOP OIL EXPORT.” She hopes her hunger strike will draw enough attention to pressure the Biden administration stop Houston-base...
How They Murdered Music for Americans; Why Now is the Moment to Bring It Back
Mindy Pechenuk, LaRouchePAC.com - All Posts - 7 hours ago
Our Saturday class series, "LaRouche's Curriculum for Citizens," concludes this Saturday with a presentation on the importance of a classical music curriculum for children. But, first, we felt we must address a simple truth—classical music is foreign to the overwhelming majority of Americans. Why do so many Americans today reject Classical music and yet this was the basis of the flourishing of our great Republic? Why did the Anglo-Dutch fascist oligarchy go to such wild extremes to strip Americans of that fountain of creative and independent thinking that made us the envy of the w...
to unleash the lightning of the Universal Christ that does come out of the East and unto the West
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 8 hours ago
We are the bearers of this judgment, as you have been told. For we did send forth the light not only for the confounding of Nineveh but for the confounding of Nimrod and his Tower of Babel. And therefore those who sought to raise the power of the Almighty and to use it as their own inheritance had turned back upon them their lust after the blood of Christ. For it is the light of Christ, the Light of Alpha in the Omega body of the Lord that does indeed demand the judgment of the ruby ray. (We stand before you in our flaming presence. And we demand absolute stillness and that...
The Marines Are Getting Prepped To Take on China (Should the Need Arise)
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *U.S. Marine Corps, Pacific* The U.S. Marine Corps is in the midst of some radical changes. This World War II reboot is just one of many. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The 1st and 2nd Landing Support Battalions fought in some of the bloodiest Pacific fights—and now they’re back. With eyes on the Pacific and a potential near-peer fight with China, the U.S. Marine Corps took a page from their past and reactivated the 1st and 2nd landing support battalions. Though the U.S. Marine Corps is considered the United States’ expeditionary force-in-readiness, these tw...
That’s No Stealth Jet: Meet Iran’s Hyped Up Qaher 313 Fighter
David Axe, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*David Axe* *Iranian Air Force, Middle East* Iran would like to have cutting-edge military technology, but harsh international sanctions make such purchases nearly impossible. *Key point: *Tehran does a good job of making due with what weapons it has. However, Iran often overplays its hand when hyping its alleged high-tech weapons for propaganda purposes. Tensions have escalated in the Persian Gulf region in the aftermath of U.S. president Donald Trump’s decision unilaterally to withdraw the United States from the agreement limiting Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. military has ...
This Is How the Korean Peninsula Was Divided in Two
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Asia* The truth was that if the State Department did not clarify who would administrate which parts of Korea, then the entire peninsula would fall under the control of advancing Soviet troops. *Here’​s What You Need To Remember: *By 1949, both Soviet and American troops had withdrawn from the peninsula, leaving behind violently irreconcilable regimes that both claimed to be the only legitimate government of Korea. A hastily conceived temporary compromise had resulted in the permanent division of a nation, and sowed the seeds for more than seventy yea...
Republicans Not Very Interested in Hearing Joe Mumble On About His 100 Days
Diogenes Sarcastica™, Diogenes' Middle Finger - 6 hours ago
In case you hadn't heard, Granny Wine Box has invited 46* to the capital to give his very first address to Congress next Wednesday, which will roughly coincide with the 100th day of his Identity Politics-Social Justice handler's control of the our government. It's a limited seating affair and not to be a State of the Union, because if it was he'd have to admit their responsibility of deepening the racial division of the country and the ongoing damage they are doing because of lack of Law and Order. And it's not going to be the same dignified hoopla it usually is because no one r...

Does America Have a Counter to China’s H-20 Stealth Bomber?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *H-20 Stealth Bomber, Asia* If the H-20 does have the range and passable stealth characteristics attributed to it, it could alter the strategic calculus between the United States and China. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Analysts forecast the H-20’s first flight in the early 2020s, with production possibly beginning around 2025. If the H-20 is judged to be of credible design, the Pentagon in turn will have to factor the strategic implications of China’s stealth capabilities, and will likely seek to field implement counter-stealth technologies which former...
Sasquatch Demographics
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 7 hours ago
This is a retake on the likely demographics of the Sasquatch in light of new intel. What is abundently clear is that the sasquatch family depends on deer meat of all types and that surely includes even large moose. The kill method is typically a hurled stone. In season it can also harvest anytrhing else as well, but deer looks like the go to food source. This is now been augmented by pigs as well and surely turkeys too as those populations expnad. The last fifty years has seen deer populations rapidly expand as actual human harvesting pressure fell off. The typical family uni...
How Would the North Korean Navy Fare Against the U.S.?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *North Korea, Asia* North Korea’s coastal fleet played an important role in the early days of the Korean War. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The last time the two powers came to blows, North Korea's navy ended up at the bottom of the ocean. Just days after North Korea embarked on its steam-roller invasion of its larger but less heavily armed southern neighbor, the United Nations decided it needed to step in and save the besieged Republic of Korea. However, it would take time for ground forces and their heavy tanks and artillery to arrive in South Korean port ...
What Happens When Two Stealth Fighter Jets Clash?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* U.S. stealth aircraft have become one of the chief military threats to China, so it seems reasonable to assume the J-20 would be designed to have a fighting chance against them. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six years later, after several substantial revisions, J-20s entered operational service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force. As radar-guided missiles from fi...
Why Rocket-Powered Gyrojet Guns Flopped So Hard
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Firearms, * If you're looking for a reliable weapon, keep looking. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Gyrojet projectiles were also incredibly variable. Some rounds did indeed break the sound barrier, as evidenced by the bullet-like crack they emitted, whereas some rounds did not, indicating a degree of variability in performance between rounds—which had a negative impact on both accuracy and performance. As a consequence, accuracy was terrible when compared to traditional firearms. The Gyrojet, as this class of firearms was called, were quite odd. Though t...
In the South China Sea, China Will Have to Fight More Than the Navy
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, Asia* The Pentagon is re-gearing for great-power conflict *Here's What You Need To Remember: * On July 12, 2018, the USS* Racine* met her grisly fate. The 522-foot long tank landing ship was struck by four different types of guided missiles, one of which triggered a massive explosion that sent shards of debris spraying across the sea and ripped open part of her hull, exposing the inner decks. Finally, a Mark 48 torpedo struck the forty-six-year-old vessel beneath the waterline and nearly snapped off her bow. An hour later, the five-thous...
Why Russia’s T-4 Bomber Was Destined for Failure
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *military, Eurasia* Much like the Valkyrie, the T-4 resulted in a remarkably innovative aircraft that now resides only in a museum. *Here’s What You Need to Know:* In 1963, the Department of Defense canceled procurement of the XB-70 Valkyrie, a technological marvel of a bomber that had struggled to find a mission in the missile age. The Soviet Union, aware of the development of the Valkyrie, embarked on at least two programs in response. One was the MiG-25 “Foxbat,” a high-speed interceptor capable of catching the killing the Valkyrie. The other was the Sukhoi T-...
In 1945 America Finally Had a Jet Fighter: Meet the P-80 Shooting Star
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *World War II History, Americas* [image: World War II History] The jet enginer era took off with a mighty roar as the major powers of World War II all raced to invent and field these amazingly fast warplanes. *Key point: *The plane was a good step towards the jet age, but it suffered from outdated win design that worked better for propellers. Here is how the Air Force learned much from the design, but at the cost of a few pilots' lives. On November 8, 1950, a flight of four straight-winged jets swooped down on an airfield at Sinuiju, North Korea—on the Korean ...
Deadly, But Only on Paper: Meet Britain’s Lion-Class Battleships
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Cold War History, Europe* [image: Cold War History] The mighty warships could have helped wage the Cold War, but London never constructed them. *Key Point: *Big battleships can be powerful and many did serve throughout the Cold War. But the cost of constructing them versus aircraft carriers or long-range missiles meant new battelships were a nonstarter. The five battleships of the *King George V* class served the Royal Navy honorably during the war, participating in the destruction of the battleships *Bismarck* and *Scharnhorst* along with an array of other miss...

"King James" takes down his tweet about Columbus girl
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 7 hours ago
LeBron James put up a tweet suggesting that the Columbus officer who saved 2 black girls from being stabbed should be taken out--posted his photo. Then when the video of the crime scene proved him an idiot, he took it down with this excuse. Washington Post reported the 2019 stats. 9 unarmed blacks were killed by police; 19 unarmed whites were killed by police. You only know about the blacks because the media are making money off their deaths. Ghouls. Considering that the crime rate for young black men is 6x higher than for white men, which group is more often killed? There are m...
Biden’s Appeasement Of Hawks And Neocons Is Crippling His Diplomacy
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
President Biden took office promising a new era of American international leadership and diplomacy. But with a few exceptions, he has so far allowed self-serving foreign allies, hawkish U.S. interest groups and his own imperial delusions to undermine diplomacy and stoke the fires of war. Biden’s failure to quickly recommit to the Iran nuclear deal, or JCPOA, as Senator Sanders promised to do on his first day as president, provided a critical delay that has been used by opponents to undermine the difficult shuttle diplomacy taking place in Vienna to restore the agreement.
