An analysis of test sticks from COVID PCR tests by a hospital in Slovakia confirms genocide PDF
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Now we get the low down on those pcr sticks whose use was immediately suspect. Just where did this come from and why is is necessary to touch the brain membrane to deal with the common cold?

Pier Zanfretta's Horrifying Alien Encounter
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
What makes this compelling is the level of detail produced and the large body of conforming eye witnesses.. Denial is no option in a case like this. Rather like denial of the existence of a british warship to the Chinese emperor in early nineteenth century. This is literally the same scenario. This group of aliens wanted to establish comms. That appears to be badly handled so far, but they also continue the practise of grabbing individuals over and over gain.+ We need to identify such individuals and to properly train them for the events. They appear safe enough so much as ...
The miracle of the commons
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
What is missing in economic thinking is the understanding of the third type form of governance. This is the natural community in conjunction with the rule of twelve which produces a natural concensus aimed at optimizing all interests. We know the altertnatives of local BIG MAN govenance and of central authorities in which an individual assumes BIG MAN authority. Now we are starting to see the emergence of the natural community for the direct management of the COMMONS which readily extends beyound obvious economic assets to common interests as an obvious priority. *The miracle...

Bienvenido Oplas Jr, Government and Taxes - 21 hours ago
Yesterday, the #1 trending topic in Twitter in the Philippines was #DuterteDuwag (Duterte a coward). Here are some of the memes posted in Twitter, this one is among the funniest :-) Why? It started with the President challenging early this week the retired SC Justice Antonio Carpio to a debate on the West PH Sea (WPS) or SCS and China stealing of some Philippine territories.

*Tělo bylo stvořeno, aby se samo udržovalo a uzdravovalo, ale člověk si díky svému omezenému myšlení myslel, že ví víc než jeho Stvořitel, a začal vytvářet systém založený na omezení nebo sebeomezení, který vedl k nemocem a duševním a emocionálním poruchám všeho druhu, jaké si lze představit.

Could Biden Support $2,000 Recurring Monthly Stimulus Checks?
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *U.S. Politics, Americas* [image: U.S. Politics] The stimulus check have proved popular. So much so, in fact, that some folks are circulating a petition for monthly payments. *Key point: *Biden has big plans for infrastructure and family support spending. However, it is unclear if he would be in favor of large, monthly checks. It appears that the one hundred sixty-three million $1,400 coronavirus stimulus checks that have been disbursed for this current third round of direct payments aren’t nearly enough for many cash-hungry Americans. In fact, more than 2.1 m...

Should Biden Pay Americans to Get a Coronavirus Vaccine?
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Check, * According to White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, roughly 75 percent to 80 percent of the population needs to get vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Also, companies like Target, Trader Joe’s, and Dollar General are part of a large list of U.S. businesses that offer pay incentives to hourly employees to receive a vaccine. There’s little questioning the fact that the one hundred sixty-three million coronavirus stimulus checks disbursed to date have helped many financially wounded A...
Why the M14 Rifle Was Such A Bust
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* What made this rifle such a huge disapointment? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The M14 has outdated ergonomics, is poorly designed, and is inaccurate. The rifle can be accurized but will not stay that way unless constant care and maintenance are performed on it. The M14 is the U.S. military’s worst service rifle. It served as the standard-issue rifle for just six years—by the most generous estimates, half that of the U.S. Army’s second shortest serving rifle, the Krag-Jørgensen. The design itself is fraught with problems. The process of c...
Lost: What Happened to Russia’s Stealth T-60S Aircraft
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Russian Air Force, Europe* [image: T-60S] Making a new warplane is an extensive and time-consuming project that does not always work. *Key point: *The T-60S was born in the Cold War, but fell due post-Cold War budget cuts. In addition, the T-60S had decent performance but was poorly constructed. One of the Soviet Union’s most ambitious postwar aircraft projects, the ill-fated T-60S bomber, offers a glimpse of the modern Russian bomber force that could have been. In the mid-1980s, the Soviet military launched a procurement search for a new intermediate-range bo...
Russia's Airborne Infantry Vehicles Make China's Look Like A Joke
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Asia* While the ZBD-03 is far from useless, it is outclassed and outgunned by practically every BMD in Russian service. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *If China hopes to get serious about airborne operations, it may need to take a hard look at modernizing or replacing the ZBD-03. As China modernizes and develops its airborne corps, it appears to be basing it off the Russian or Soviet model. Chinese airborne troops are not part of the ground forces, but rather part of the air force (PLAAF). They are also considered to be a strategic asset, capable o...
How Good Is Russia’s MiG-35 Fighter Jet?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *MiG-35, Europe* [image: MiG-35] This newer warplane is modern and a decent threat. *Key point: *The MiG-35 is a powerful multirole aircraft. But can Russia buy enough of them to matter? Much attention has been made of the Sukhoi Su-35, Russia's multirole fighter that was originally developed by the Soviet Union from the Su-27. However, there is another – and entirely different – aircraft that has gotten less attention but could be just as deadly in the air. *This first appeared earlier and is being reposted due to reader interest.* *The MiG-35, Explained * Meet t...
Should Billionaires Be Billed for America’s Stimulus Checks?
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *New Stimulus Check, * U.S. billionaires have gotten about $1.2 trillion richer during the pandemic. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“Considering the total U.S. population is estimated to be about 328 million people, that would mean billionaires' pandemic profits could easily fund two more checks of $1,400 for every single American with a significant amount of money left to spare.” The economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s become clear, have been very regressive. While those without much struggled mightily, the very rich got a lot richer. ...
The A-12 Spy Plane was Dead on Arrival, But It was Meant for Greatness
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *A-12, * Following numerous prototypes, several lost models, and crew deaths during testing, the A-12 finally entered service in 1967. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Advancements in spy satellite technologies allowed the CIA to reproduce much of the information that would have been procured by the A-12 without the political risk of sending U.S. pilots on spying missions over hostile territory. A worthy successor to the iconic U-2 spy plane, the Lockheed A-12’s service life was nonetheless cut short by technological progress and a shifting Cold War political...

History’s Happy Revolution: The Industrial Revolution
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 19 hours ago
The Industrial Revolution which took place in Britain in the nineteenth century was not merely a steep rise in manufacturing activity but a steep rise in manufacturing activity due to tectonic social transformations in the country.

Most British in that period supported the social transformations and enthusiastically participated in the industrial activity. The intellectuals in our time claim t...

How Americans Could Receive a $16,000 'Stimulus Payment'

The IMI Galil Rifle: Israel's Powerful and Reliable AK-47 Derivative
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Weapons, Middle East* Israel does not employ the Galil rifle in combat today. However, this weapon made its mark and remains known. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Although the Galil may be out of service today, the rifle helped create what is today a small arms industry all out of proportion to tiny Israel’s size. The 1967 Six Day War provided many military lessons for the young state of Israel. One of many lessons was that the Israeli Army’s FN FAL battle rifles were too heavy and unwieldy.

Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Plus-Up Payment, * It is estimated that the IRS will ultimately deliver $1.2 billion worth of these supplemental payments to U.S. taxpayers in the coming weeks or months. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Last month, the IRS acknowledged that it had yet to complete 1.5 million individual tax returns received last year—but admitted that they are in the “processing pipeline.” Amid the current tax season, the Internal Revenue Service is saddled with the unenviable chore of pulling double duty, as it is responsible for sending out to eligible Americans ...
15,000 Rounds Is No Sweat for This "Stopgap" Chinese Gun
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Charlie Gao* *China Guns, Asia* The Type 81 continues to see service in the People’s Armed Police. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: The Type 81 is a reliable and impressive fusion of designs. In the 1980s, China’s small arms were largely inferior to the United States and Russia. The PLA was mostly armed with the Type 56 assault rifle, a clone of the original AK-47, and the Type 56 carbine, a clone of the Soviet SKS. There was an abortive attempt to combine the characteristics of these rifles in the 1960s which culminated in the Type 63, an SKS-looking select-fire rifle that ...

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Peter Suciu* *S-500, Eurasia* Russian President Vladimir Putin claims that the S-500 system could be a possible “antidote” against an enemy’s hypersonic missiles. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The race for new missiles (and better defenses) is on.

Caught on a Smartphone: Watch a Saudi F-15 Destroy a Houthi Drone in Yemen
Alex Hollings, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Alex Hollings* *F-15, Middle East* The Saudis have become extremely proficient at intercepting these drones but at a significant cost. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The drone shot down by the F-15 in the footage appears to be a Qasef-1, which is a suicide drone based on an Iranian design.
