For now, the status quo will prevail. And that’s a problem. Despite the presence of centrist, center-left, and one small Palestinian party, power in the new government ... read more

"When the Roof Fell In"
*"When the Roof Fell In"* by Bill Bonner YOUGHAL, IRELAND – "In the news yesterday was a report about a major real estate purchase. Blackstone Group bought Home Partners of America and thus acquired its 17,000 rental units. We don’t know the particulars of the deal. But the average monthly rent for a three-bedroom apartment, for example, is about $1,200. That gives a gross rental income of about $14,000 annually, per unit. So Blackstone could expect about $250 million in annual rental income from the 17,000 units owned by Home Partners of America. Shrewd real estate investors look ... read more

U.S. Army History Of Iraq War Vol 1 – Chapter 2 Regime Change
Chapter 2 of the U.S. Army history of the Iraq War focused upon American planning for the invasion or the lack thereof. The Central Command (CENTCOM) which oversaw the war spent far more time coming up with an invasion strategy because of the micromanagement of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. It constantly had to revise its plan as a result. That was one of the main reasons why the U.S. had little to nothing on what would happen afterward. There were also several faulty assumptions by the Pentagon and military about postwar Iraq. Ironically Saddam didn’t even believe war was... read more

New autocrats with even greater reliance on weapons tend to rise out of external pressure, threat and intervention. Sanctions, food insecurity, and COVID-19 are seriously challenging North Korea’s internal stability.
