Could China's J-20 Fighter Kill and F-22 Stealth Fighter?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Fighter Jets, * Like Top Gun but in real life. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A 2011 analysis by Australian aviation expert Carlo Kopp concluded that J-20 probably had strong stealth from a frontal aspect, but a larger radar cross section (RCS) when scanned from the side or rear—a limitation also found in the Russian Su-57 stealth fighter. In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six years later, after several substantial revisions,... read more

Are Torpedoes Still the Biggest Threat to U.S. Aircraft Carriers?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Aircraft Carriers, Asia* During World War II, submarine and aircraft-dropped torpedoes sank hundreds of merchant ships and warships. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Theoretically, the best platform for hunting down a submarine is another submarine. Indeed, carrier task forces often are accompanied by a submarine which quietly prowls the nearby seas for hostile counterparts. In 2019, an annual report released by the Department of Testing & Evaluation revealed that a potentially revolutionary new torpedo-defense system installed on five American aircraft ca... read more

India Says It Can 'Track' China's New J-20 Stealth Fighter
*Sebastien Roblin* *J-20, * The Indian Air Force has boasted its Su-30 Flankers have tracked J-20s on radar. Should Beijing be worried? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Given the above premises, observers mostly speculate the J-20 would either serve as long-range supersonic strike plane, or a hit-and-run interceptor used to slip past fighter screens and take out vulnerable supporting tanker and AWACS planes. In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six ye... read more

CDC Data Highlights COVID Vaccination is More Dangerous than COVID Infection for Young Adults
According to the CDC data for every 100,000 young people vaccinated 700 will require medical care and 200 will be hospitalized.

The Spirit Of Carabobo Will Overcome The Stench Of Monroe
Two hundred years ago, on 24 June 1821, the forces of Simón Bolívar trounced the Spanish royalists at the Battle of Carabobo, a few hundred kilometres west of Caracas, Venezuela. Five days later, Bolívar entered Caracas in triumph; the Spanish fortresses of Cartagena and Puerto Cabello had been seized by the Liberator’s armies, making a return to power for Spain impossible. In Cúcuta, a congress assembled to draft a new constitution and to elect Bolívar as the president. Bolívar, now the head of the Republic of Gran Colombia (today’s Colombia and Venezuela), would not rest. He got... read more

Revealing The Pentagon Papers In Congress: A Pyrrhic Victory
I propped myself up on an elbow as the announcer read the news: The Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, against Nixon. The government’s unprecedented move to stop the presses had failed. The Court agreed with two lower courts that the attempt to impose prior restraint on the press was unconstitutional. The ruling turned out to be more complex than at first glance, but it was an unequivocal call for Constitutional constraint on an out-of-control control executive. The Court challenged the executive’s misuse of “national security” as a mantra to undermine the Bill of Rights and accrue quasi-d... read more

Weaponizing Science In Global Food Policy
Santa Cruz, CA - In July, the United Nations will convene “Science Days”, a high-profile event in preparation for the UN Food Systems Summit later this year. Over the course of two days, the world will be treated to a parade of Zoom sessions aimed at “highlighting the centrality of science, technology and innovation for food systems transformation.” Nobody disputes the need for urgent action to transform the food system.

The Borderland beat is reporting that "A large clash between rival cartels left at least 18 dead on the Zacatecas and Jalisco border. Unofficial reports state that the death toll could be close to 40.

Hundreds of Thousands Take to the Streets in London to Protest And Fight for Their Children
Massive crowds took to the streets of London today to protest against COVID tyranny. Video footage from the air and on the ground show massive crowds. It appears from video footage being shared on social media that race and political affiliation were put aside in this protest, which is what is needed if the masses are going to have any effect against the Globalists. One woman carried a sign that read: "We're Not From the Left or Right We're From the Bottom and We're Coming for Those on TOP!" Saving the children from the bioweapon shots seemed to be a common theme. And where are ... read more

You who bear the physical fire may also bear the sacred fire of an ascension flame. And as you know the requirement of the Law, the candle that you bear must first be borne for the ascension of your own soul. Thus in bearing that candle the bearing of it in itself is your own acceding to the initiation and path of purity.

The SR-72 Could Be the World’s First Mach 6 Stealth Bomber

Hypersonic weapons—those capable of flying over five times the speed of sound—are the hot new buzz word of defense industrial compl... read more
America's B-58 Hustler Bomber Was a Work of Art (and Totally Useless)
*Robert Farley* *Bombers, Americas* In use for only a decade, the bomber was incredibly hard to fly and had an excessively high accident rate. *Here's What You Need to Know*: This Cold War bomber was beautiful, but pointless. In an era of fantastic aircraft, the B-58 Hustler was one of the most visually striking warplanes ever to fly. Its delta wing, giant engines, and remarkable performance gave rise to the myth that pilots could literally tear the wings off the bomber if they flew it too fast. That wasn’t true, but the B-58 was nevertheless a difficult plane to fly. Although ... read more

The Myth of American Militarism
*Hal Brands, Peter Feaver* *National Security, Americas* The United States needs a serious debate about how, where, and whether to use force in an era when its resources are stretched. It requires a highly disciplined approach to employing its military power in an age of great-power rivalry. Yet the myth of American militarism is bad analysis that leads to lousy prescription.

“This rock structure is not only surreal - it's real. The reason it's not more famous is that it is, perhaps, smaller than one might guess: the capstone rock overhangs only a few meters. Even so, the King of Wings outcrop, located in New Mexico, USA, is a fascinating example of an unusual type of rock structure called a hoodoo.
