Let's Level the Playing Field between the Dollar and Competing Currencies
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Hardly a unique idea and it will never go away until the central problem of poverty is eliminated. The fact is that the field is about as level as may be possible until poverty is eliminated by the application of the natuaral community and the Rule of Twelve. But no matter. Money allows for the accommadation of private interests and communal interests all too often asserted by a BIG MAN with scant attention to the community. It has long been shown that on average private interests are benficial to the community. Again the phrase on average must allow a distribution of behavi...
Senior Member of CCP Think Tank Claims China Won Unprecedented Biological War Against the US in 2020
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
As usual those in the middle of such scheming cannot keep their mouths shut and must brag to show how clever they are. understand that this type of recklessness has been anticipated and actually countered by your opponent. We knew from the get go what was up and counters have been in place. Think about that. It is literally the only reason that I remain ultimately unconcerned. We have been reading their mail forever. This has actually made all forms of warfare obsolete. The CCP is now getting that message. Meanwhile we read more and more about the Rods of God. ...
Mosquito Tips and Myths
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This commercial report came in.. It is heat activated and it appears to produce an exclusion zone using some form of chemical that mosquitos avoid. This can actually be good enough. They quote twenty feet, but placing one on the forward two corners of a sun deck would work fine with more as required. This can be as effective as mosquito netting. You would set it all up and then wait for the heat to do its job of filling the work area. all good. . Again this is simple enough and the increase to a twenty foot reach whatever that actually merans is still good enough to anticip...
How to Rewrite the Laws of Physics in the Language of Impossibility
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Definately an exercise in deep thinking that may be fruitful. Yet my path to Cloud Cosmology was astonishingly derived directly from classical mathematics by directly producing: 1 higher order pythagorean metrics allowing us to handle n axis problems such as particle creation. 2 The Space Time pendulum whose creation through consciousness is the path to the creation of an universe. This also describes the fundamental building block of all sub light creation. 3 The inverse of empirical infinity is not zero. This means every galaxy or star or planet for that matter is an act...

Seraphim Hanisch, The Duran - 22 hours ago
Let’s make a wager that America generally is a traditionally conservative nation.

It was a minor tactical victory, but a strategic defeat. The US military devoted tremendous resources to seize this insignificant island where it suffered […]
Will The Nordic Model Come To Britain?
TheDarkMan, The Duran - 22 hours ago
If the Nordic model sounds like an attractive blonde from Scandinavia, guess again. It is actually a method of tackling the perceived problem of prostitution.

Seraphim Hanisch, The Duran - 22 hours ago
This is a full reprint of Tucker Carlson’s opinion piece on Fox News, dated May 5th, 2021. It is nonetheless current, given the direction that the Imposter Administration keeps trying to force America towards: Take the vaccine. Or Else.

Francis Moore, The Duran - 22 hours ago
On May 19, the US Congress approved a bill banning the US administration from defining Crimea as a legal part of the Russian Federation.

America Cannot Abandon The South China Sea to Beijing
James Holmes, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* A Trump-era communique sparked controversy by stating that "the world will not allow Beijing to treat the South China Sea as its maritime empire." *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What happens in Southeast Asia has direct implications for Americans. It feels like 2014 again. That’s when it came to light that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had embarked on a seemingly quixotic project: manufacturing islands out of reefs and atolls in the South China Sea and then fortifying them to extend its sway vis-à-vis Southeast Asian rivals impertinent en...

President Biden Hurried Off The Stage When Asked About UFOs
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 22 hours ago
*NBC: **UFOs? Ask Obama, Biden quips when questioned about unidentified aerial phenomenon* Earlier this week, former President Obama appeared on late night TV and said the government cannot explain the videos of unidentified aerial phenomenon. The truth may be out there — but President Joe Biden isn’t saying so.

Explained: Why the F-15 Never Took Off From Navy Aircraft Carriers
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Naval Aviation, The Americas* The Air Force and Navy will only buy each other's aircraft if the politicians force them to do so. The Sea Eagle was probably not a good idea to begin with, but it certainly was doomed without a powerful backer in the Pentagon or White House. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-15N would probably have been faster and more maneuverable than the F-14, as well as cheaper. But the carrier modifications would have rendered the Sea Eagle 3,000 pounds heavier than the land-based version. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, a Dynamic Duo symb...

*James Holmes* *U.S. Navy, Asia* The show sometimes has a ripped-from-the-headlines feel. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Naval leaders should study their science fiction. How would you punk the U.S. Navy if the lords of naval warfare handed you the keys to, say, China’s navy? Well, you might do the obvious thing: read or watch some science fiction!
