“The Stench of Political and Financial Corruption”
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
*“The Stench of Political and Financial Corruption”* By Jesse “Wall Street had been doing business with pieces of paper; and now someone asked for a dollar, and it was discovered that the dollar had been mislaid. It was an experience for which the captains of industry were not entirely prepared; they had forgotten the public. It was like some great convulsion of nature, which made mockery of all the powers of men, and left the beholder dazed and terrified. In Wall Street men stood as if in a valley, and saw far above them the starting of an avalanche; they stood fascinated with hor...

Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 6 hours ago
You know what I hate? Writer's block. At the moment, I'm painstakingly trying to assemble words on immaterial labour and an aspect of it I've tended not to emphasise these last few years. I'm talking about the connective, networking, *social* part of our rising class of socialised workers. Or, to be more precise, how this is tending toward new forms of solidarity that have bypassed the traditional, conventional and semi-institutionalised means by which practical solidarity is usually achieved. In other words, is the solidarity we're seeing in the mass UK mobilisations supporting the...

Wszystkie tak zwane choroby psychiczne są de facto chorobami organicznymi spowodowanymi przez chemiczne i/lub mechaniczne uszkodzenia tkanki nerwowej. Zaburzenia psychiczne są jedynie objawami i mechanizmami obronnymi mającymi chronić chorych przed cierpieniem - nie chorobą a jej objawami.

USS Kentucky: The Ultimate U.S. Navy Battleship That Never Was
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Battleship, * Laid down in 1942, USS Kentucky (BB-66) was originally intended as the second ship of the planned Montana-class of heavy battleships. However, lessons learned in the early stages of the war convinced the U.S. Navy that instead of larger and more heavily armed battle wagons, it needed more "fast battleships" that could escort the new Essex-class aircraft carriers. Laid down in 1942, USS *Kentucky* (BB-66) was originally intended as the second ship of the planned *Montana*-class of heavy battleships. However, lessons learned in the early stages of the w...

*Majid Rafizadeh* *Iran, Middle East* Western policymakers and the entire international community should make it clear that they support any effort by the Iranian people to push back against state repression and to advocate for democracy. Candidates in the Iranian regime’s next presidential election in June include alleged mass murderers, corrupt embezzlers, subjects of both European and American sanctions for human rights abuses, and persons who have been implicated in foreign assassinations and bombings.

How Japan is Falling Short
Samuel Leiter, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Samuel Leiter* *Japan, Asia* For its own sake, Japan must end its time on the American cheap-ride and invest politically and financially in its own defense. Japan is capable of real contributions to the balance of power in East Asia, but it chooses dependence on the United States. Despite having the world’s third-largest economy and territorial disputes with China, Japan continues to “cheap-ride” on U.S. security guarantees. Japan’s failure to invest in its own defense tips the regional balance of power in China’s favor and increases the demands on the United States to maintain ...

California Governor Gavin Newsom is not an extremely popular politician. Yet in a year filled with chaos, disorder, and tragedy, he has presided over a singularly impressive accomplishmen...
$3,000,000,000,000: Joe Biden’s Stimulus Plans are Just Getting Started
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Packages, * Biden’s future strategy can be broadly broken down into two plans. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Another interesting opportunity for Biden would be a minimum wage increase, which he supported as a candidate. The difficulty is that not all Democrats support this; notably, Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) have opposed similar proposals before. To win Congress over, Biden must first win them over. President Joe Biden’s stimulus packages have not yet passed Congress – and, in their current forms, they are expected to m...

CDC: Death Toll Following Experimental COVID Injections Now at 4,647 – More than 22 Years of Recorded Vaccine Deaths from VAERS
AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 7 hours ago
The CDC released the latest death figures following the experimental COVID injections this week, and that death toll now stands at 4,647 people, adults and children, that have been recorded as dying after receiving one of the experimental COVID injections. To put this number in perspective, since the CDC continues to claim that these deaths do “not establish a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines,” these deaths now exceed the total number of deaths reported to VAERS following vaccination for the past 22 years!

That's a lot of money that adds up. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *It’s still unclear what child care expenses qualify for the massive tax relief due to the law’s wonky rules.

*Sebastien Roblin* *Military Equipment, Europe* The Soviet Union was never convinced such technically impressive penetrating strategic reconnaissance planes were a great idea. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The otherworldly-looking RSR was killed as much by its bureaucratic enemies as the technological challenges of its development—but it’s interesting to speculate what response it might have elicited from the United States had it ever been deployed.

*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Europe* One submarine was prone to damaging itself when charging ahead at full speed. *Here**’**s What You Need to Remember: *This considerable expense involved in the Golden Fish’s construction meant no other boats were built in her class. However, the *Papa*-class did serve to pioneer technology used in later titanium-hulled submarines, leading to premium hunter-killer designs such as the *Alfa* and *Sierra*-class submarines and the deep-diving experimental *Mike*-class.

*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Check, * "This idea seems far-fetched and unusual, but it is already gaining some traction on Capitol Hill." One of President Joe Biden’s promises during his 2020 presidential campaign was to govern by consensus.

This was the case, at least, until the business of Congress actually began. In March 2021, when it became apparent that no Republican would support Biden’s roughly $2 trillion plan, Biden simply passed it ...

“Maybe we’re not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be a human. Maybe, we’re thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe, we’re thankful for the things we’ll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.” - “Grey’s Anatomy”

A major victory in Austria after the Chamber of Workers and Employees made a clear and public statement against companies compelling people to take a jab at work. https://wien.orf.at/stories/3105071/ Unfortunately, these many tiny tactical victories in Austria may not prevent most of the people taking it because they have not been properly informed of the true facts as required by law. It has, in fact, been this approach which has allowed the epidemic vaccine plot to proceed after it was more or less foiled in 2009. And if the Austrians and Americans don t start thinking strat...
BREAKTHROUGH? HAVE INDIANS FOUND A DRUG WHICH TREATS COVID? POSSIBLE PARALLEL WITH LIBERIAN DOC WHO USED HIV DRUG TO SUCCESSFULLY TREAT EBOLA PATIENTS IN 2014

Ivermectin and other drugs may well be useful for treating coronavirus.

New Idaho Law Calls For Killing 90% Of The State's Wolves
White Wolf, White Wolf - 9 hours ago
Conservative lawmakers in Idaho and Montana have passed new laws to drastically reduce the number of wolves in those states. Concerns over the animal's impact on both livestock and wild prey have long festered among ranchers and some hunters and reached the floor of Idaho's House of Representatives in April. "When [wolves] are so fearless that they are now walking down the center of a dirt road, that means there's too many of them, there's way too many of them," said Idaho state GOP Rep. Dorothy Moon. Her district includes many of the state's 1,500 estimated wolves and prime wolf ha...
