“A Blatant Display of Unscientific Propaganda:” Cornell Student Exposes GMO Propaganda in Scathing Letter
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 11 hours ago
Editor’s note: This article was originally written in 2016. In light of new information that Bill Gates is now the largest owner of farmland in the United States, we thought it was a good idea to republish this letter from former Cornell student and activist Robert Schooler in its entirety. The following letter was penned by Schooler after he began to realize that Cornell University had been promoting the genetically engineered food and farming industry through millions of dollars in grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, instead of organic and regenerative agriculture ...
"What Are You Willing To Live For?"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 11 hours ago
*"What Are You Willing To Live For?"* by Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu, Ed.D "Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What am I willing to die for?” It expresses the will to do something so extremely that one is willing to die doing it. This is a beautiful way of showing the spirit that will enable one to persevere to the very end in accomplishing something. It resonates with bushido, and overcoming the fear of death through complete service. There are even times that people feel the need to sacrifice their lives for a cause. But there is also a problem with this way of thinking. T...

Green Choice: Premier Iain Rankin says he wants more renewably generated electricity. Does his plan make sense, and will it work?
Jennifer Henderson, Halifax Examiner - 12 hours ago
Premier Iain Rankin has staked his political future (and perhaps that of his Liberal party) on a promise to green the grid. It’s a promise that combines huge expectations and devilish details. On his first day as premier, and again in the throne speech, Rankin committed to shutter coal-fired generating plants by 2030. He has […]

What Is Climate Feminism?

Last fall, two powerful hurricanes, Eta and Iota, slammed into Central America within two weeks of each other, causing massive flooding and landslides and affecting millions of people, primarily in Honduras and Nicaragua. Thousands were uprooted from their homes, and women, many with children in tow, suffered the greatest. The events followed a disturbing but familiar trend: The United Nations estimates that 80 percent of people displaced by climate change are women. And it's not just storms that affect them; researchers in India have found that droughts, too, hit women the hardes...

Nicaragua: Scary Covid Projections Are More Newsworthy Than Hopeful Results
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
One year ago, as both the Trump administration in the US and the Johnson government in the UK responded fitfully to the growing pandemic, the international media were looking for whipping boys: other countries whose response to the virus was even worse. There were some cases of obvious neglect—Brazil was and is a prime example (FAIR.org, 4/12/20). But the press also turned on Nicaragua, repeating allegations from local opposition groups that the Sandinista government was in denial about the dangers, and that the country was poised on the edge of disaster. When, as the death toll ...

Ecuador’s Socialists Set To Defeat Neo-liberalism

A young left-wing economist, Andres Aruaz, is favourite to win Ecuador’s presidential election later this month, in what would be the latest victory for progressives in Latin America after elections in Mexico, Argentina and Bolivia in recent years. But with a left victory likely, there are growing concerns that elites in Ecuador and abroad are conspiring to sabotage the electoral process. This has become an all too common response of the Latin American right-wing to progressive victories. In Bolivia, when socialist Evo Morales was elected in 2019, a military coup ousted him aft...

The Pentagon’s 1033 program is the primary mechanism by which police acquire military hardware.

The values below reflect that of military hardware (“controlled” equipment) transferred through the 1033 program and not the office supplies or generators or t-shirts or whatever (“uncontrolled” equipment).

An extensive French study has surveyed nations’ responses to COVID-19 and concludes that those taking an aggressive “Zero COVID” approach fared better than others by both health and economic measures.

Zero COVID, also called Go for Zero or elimination, employs a range of tactics designed to drive infection rates to negligible. Such t...

Government borrows. Who should pay for it?
Eric Zuesse, The Duran - 13 hours ago
Eric Zuesse The big debate now is over how much the Government should borrow, but it instead needs to be over who should pay for it. Should future generations, who have no say in this matter, be the ones that will be paying for it? They will receive both many of the benefits and most […]
BBC “Broadcast” SIMULATES Nuclear War Between NATO & Russia from January 2018 — Mentions Syria and Ukraine as Basis for Start of The War
mosesman, Socio-Economics History Blog - 13 hours ago
Why would the BBC go through so much trouble/effort to come out with a fictional 1 hour news report on Nuclear War between NATO and Russia? Looks like the limited Nuclear WW3 in Eastern Europe may still be on?! All part of Albert Pike’s Satanic WW3. So, we got to keep an eye on the …
Local journalism is dead. Long live local journalism!
Stephen Kimber, Halifax Examiner - 16 hours ago
Sometime in early 2014, I began to hear rumours Tim Bousquet was planning to launch his own local online news site. I knew Tim as the city editor at The Coast. He was a fine journalist, an indefatigable reporter whose turn-over-every-rock investigations into city hall concert scandals and the personal will-finagling of Peter Kelly, the […]

The Latest On The "Stupidest Litigation" In The Country
Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 14 hours ago
* Perhaps you are amazed at the millions of people who have bought into the idea that the gradually increasing level of a trace atmospheric gas (CO2, currently about 0.04% of the atmosphere) is going to bring about world climate doom a hundred or so years from now. * You may be even more amazed at the similarly large numbers of people who seem to think that the salvation from this doom is to be found in bringing lawsuits against various companies that produce fossil fuels and getting some court somewhere to order that the companies do . . . what exactly? And that is going to avert t...

Powerhouse or Outdated? Russia Is Getting A Battlecruiser Back Online
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Russian Navy, Europe* [image: Russian Navy] These warships are large and impressive, but they are not the same as an aircraft carrier. *Key point: *Refitting and upgrading old Soviet warships is a decent, affordable option for Moscow. These ships may not be the finest, but they are powerful and do make a point wherever Russia sends them. A second Russian battlecruiser may be on the cusp of returning to service for the first time since the 1990s. *This first appeared earlier and is being reposted due to reader interest.* The Admiral Nakhimov, one of four Kirov c...
U.S. and Its Allies Must Focus on Access Denial Against China’s Military
John Rossomando, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*John Rossomando* *Taiwan, Asia* Beijing may be deterred if it is clear that moving its naval and air force assets to attack Taiwan puts them at risk of humiliating losses. “If China is going to start a war, they are going to do it on their terms. All of our wonderful stuff won’t get there in time. You need to get your stuff there on Day Zero of the fight,” Adm. James “Sandy” Winnefeld, a former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told me last fall. China has escalated “gray-zone” attacks against Taiwan in recent months. “Gray-zone” activity advances a state’s objectives ...
This U.S. Navy Feared This Russian Aircraft Carrier Could Sink
Joseph Trevithick, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Joseph Trevithick* *Russian Navy, * The U.S. Navy has little to fear. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The carrier is barely capable of doing what carriers are *supposed* to do: launch fighters. When she does, she uses a bow ramp instead of steam catapults, which forces reductions in the planes’ takeoff weight and patrol time. In December 2011, the Russian navy’s aging, poorly-maintained aircraft carrier *Admiral Kuznetsov* departed from its northern base on the troubled vessel’s fourth deployment to the Mediterranean Sea. True, the full-size carrier—which displaces 55,000 t...
Why So Many Americans Oppose 'Gun Control' Laws
Jarrett Stepman, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Jarrett Stepman* *Second Amendment, Americas* Entrenched opposition to gun control laws, even following mass shootings, doesn’t come from the power of the NRA. It comes from the foundational worldview of Americans who not only look at gun control measures as unlikely to stop violence, a curtailment of their own means to personal safety, but also fear that they will ultimately be used to undermine liberty. Many liberals are often incredulous that shooting incidents don’t provoke larger calls for gun control among Americans. This was certainly the case after recent mass shootings...
The 'Forgotten War' Might Be the Most Brutal War of All Time
WarIsBoring, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*WarIsBoring* *Korean War, * On a per-capita basis, the Korean War was one of the deadliest wars in modern history, especially for the civilian population of North Korea. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *North Korea’s arsenal isn’t anywhere nearly as advanced as that of the United States, but it is massive. Some analysts have suggested that the regime’s huge stockpile of traditional artillery and rockets would “flatten Seoul in the first half-hour of any confrontation.” It’s difficult to try to keep up with developments in the latest round of saber rattling between the United...
Tank 'Shields' to Protect Against Enemy Missiles Are Now a Reality
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Tanks, * APS, as they are called, have been developed, tested, refined, and built into vehicles for many years now to introduce new levels of survivability in armored warfare, something likely to increasingly be characterized by more and more advanced, long-range, and highly precise enemy anti-armor weapons being possessed by enemy forces. Is there an Active Protection System that is fast enough--while also effective enough--against a wide sphere of incoming enemy attacks, and lightweight enough to integrate into a heavily armored vehicle that can succeed in addr...

$1,400 Stimulus Checks Are Amazing. But There Is One Big Problem.
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Check, United States* Many of the checks have already been distributed, but there are complications with some others. For example, what about those who have recently collected unemployment? The American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law by President Joseph Biden in early March, and in addition to various measures to jump-start vaccine distribution and expand the child tax credit, the package also distributed $1,400 checks to most Americans. Many of the checks have already been distributed, but there are complications with some others. For example, wh...

X-32: The Stealth Fighter The U.S. Military Said 'No' To
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *X-32 Fighter, * Given the struggles of the last decade with the Joint Strike Fighter, it’s impossible not to wonder about what might have been. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The X-32 escaped all of the most significant challenges to the F-35. The X-32 never faced decades of testing and redesign; it never saw massive cost overruns; it was never subjected to an endless series of articles about how it couldn’t out-dogfight an F-16A The Department of Defense (DoD) didn’t have to opt for the F-35. In the 1990s, both Boeing and Lockheed Martin bid for the next bi...
