Stimulus Checks: The Reason the U.S. Economy Is Booming?
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Stephen Silver* *Coronavirus, United States* [image: Stimulus Check Money] One newspaper decided to look into the issue. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The stimulus checks have helped keep the economy afloat, and there is data to prove it. When the Biden Administration passed the American Rescue Plan in March, the idea was to give Americans a break, in the latter days of the pandemic. But the idea was also to stimulate and improve the economy, by giving Americans money to spend would improve economic output. Did it work? *The Washington Post* looked at that question recent...
China’s Nuclear Tests Might Have Killed Hundreds of Thousands
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *Nuclear Weapons, Asia* Radiation had a terrible impact on the surrounding populations. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The effects of China’s nuclear testing have not largely been studied due to a lack of official data. On October 16, 1964, at the Lop Nur test site in a former salt lake in the desert of the country’s northwest, the People’s Republic of China detonated its first atomic bomb. Project 596, known as the code word “Chic-1” by the U.S. intelligence community (IC), was a uranium-235 implosion fission device made from weapons-grade uranium enriched in a ga...
Yes, Russia Is Another Reason Why NATO Needs the F-35 Stealth Fighter
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Mark Episkopos* *F-35, Europe* [image: F-35] Only a high-end, stealthy warplane like the F-35 can ensure the alliance can network together and deter Russia. *Key point: *The F-35 is currently under fire for its costs, but scrapping the program would be a major error.

Why the Royal Navy Wanted This Nazi Battleship Sunk
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Europe* The German battleship Bismarck was the pride of the Kriegsmarine, Nazi Germany’s naval service. *Here’s What You Need to Remember:* The sinking of the Bismarck was an excellent example of combined arms at sea working together to sink a stronger opponent. On May 23, 1941, the Battleship *Bismarck* was on a roll. The largest and most powerful ship in the German Navy, the mighty *Bismarck* had broken out into the Atlantic Ocean, sunk a Royal Navy battlecruiser, badly damaged a battleship and was poised to add its guns to a naval blockade that thre...
The A-12 Avenger Stealth Project Was a $5 Billion Boondoggle
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu* *Stealth, Americas* The program was behind schedule and way over budget. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The goal of a stealth bomber for the Navy did not come to fruition until years later with the F-35. Imagine what $5 billion could be spent on today—fixing America’s roads and other critical infrastructure, funding schools for the inner cities or simply paying down the national debt. Instead, that amount of money was used to fund the McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics A-12 Avenger, a proposed attack aircraft that never even got off the ground. Not to be confused ...

Heidegger: Greek Philosophy and Christian Theology

Why did Christian theology supplant Greek philosophy in the time of the Roman Empire? Heidegger briefly dwells on this issue in his 1929 lecture on metaphysics. He notes that metaphysics has a twofold character—first, it represents beings as beings, or the truth of beings in their universality; second, it tries to represent the truth of the highest being (which can be regarded as God, though Heidegger has not used the word “God” in his lecture). The first character of metaphysics (beings in their universality) is ontological, while the second character (being of the highest being) ...

Mach 6 Speedster: Why the SR-72 Spy Plane Could be Epic
Steve Weintz, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Steve Weintz* *U.S. Air Force, * The SR-71 was a Cold War legend, but now the military is working on its modern successor. *Key point: *The SR-72 promises to be an incredibly fast, hard-to-shoot-down, spy plane. Here is what we know the new model. Like a bolt out of the blue, Lockheed Martin’s renown Skunk Works publicly teased one of aviation’s great snark hunts—revealing plans for a successor to the SR-71, the legendary Mach-3 reconnaissance plane designed with slide rules and retired when the millennials were born. *This first appeared earlier and is being reposted due to re...
How the Soviets Tried to Catch America’s Speedy SR-71 Blackbird
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *SR-71, Asia* In the early 1980s, the Soviets started using a new interceptor jet fighter, called the MiG-31 *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If an SR-71 had violated Soviet airspace, “there was practically no chance that the aircraft could avoid an R-33.” But the United States had officially banned overflights of Soviet airspace after the U-2 incident in 1960, so that never happened by the time of the arrival of the MiG-31. The SR-71, best known as the Blackbird, is one of the most legendary of U.S. military planes. It flew faster than any other plane, inclu...
Big Stimulus Check Problem: One Group of American Can't Get Them
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Check, * [image: Joe Biden Stimulus Update] Homelessness presents many challenges since such individuals usually do not have proper identification, a bank account, or an address. *Key point: *A lack of official information means that it is hard for the IRS to know where the homeless people are and how to get the money to them. Here is how difficult this problem can be. A big part of the theory behind the American Rescue Plan, with its $1,400 checks and other provisions, is to help those most in need of help. But a catch-22 is that it’s proven quite a c...
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter: Soon Part of the Nuclear Triad?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *F-35, Americas* New improvements will allow it to penetrate hostile airspace without warning and possibly be a part of the United States’ nuclear triad. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Improvements to the already-advanced F-35 will boost the combat capability of the stealth fighter jet.

Doctors for COVID Ethics: COVID-19 Vaccines are Unnecessary, Ineffective and Unsafe
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 5 hours ago
COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers have been exempted from legal liability for vaccine-induced harm. It is therefore in the interests of all those authorising, enforcing and administering COVID-19 vaccinations to understand the evidence regarding the risks and benefits of these vaccines, since liability for harm will fall on them. In short, the available evidence and science indicate that COVID-19 vaccines are unnecessary, ineffective and unsafe.

*"Which Lifeboat Will You Choose?"* by Charles Hugh Smith "Consider a scenario in which we're on a ship that's sinking, and the lifeboats have been launched. Being some of the last still on board the doomed vessel, we can scan who's in each lifeboat and choose which one we'll clamber into. It's a consequential decision because the currents and weather are already separating the lifeboats, and so each lifeboat will be on its own. The seas are increasingly treacherous, and the nearby islands are surrounded by reefs which could shred the lifeboat's hulls in seconds. While we don't kno...
