Nuclear Lost and Found: The Time the U.S. Misplaced Hydrogen Bombs
*Steve Weintz* *Security, Europe* During Operation Chrome Dome, the U.S. lost four hydrogen bombs off the coast of Spain. *H**ere's What You Need to Remember: *The Soviets would surely hunt for the weapon, and the White House poured on the pressure. Pres. Lyndon Johnson rejected the Navy’s assurances that the bomb was lost at sea forever. But finding an object the size of a kayak in hundreds of square miles of poorly-mapped sea bottom seemed close to impossible. When a routine Cold War operation went terribly wrong, two planes went down, seven men died, a village got contaminat... read more
Tell Biden: A Fourth Stimulus Payment Will Lift 12 Million Americans from Poverty
*Trevor Filseth* *New Stimulus, * As more Americans receive their vaccines and states lift local lockdowns and quarantines, the economy has begun to reopen, and there is fear that government assistance will have a negative effect on willingness to work. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite grassroots support and advocacy from progressive Democrats, a fourth stimulus check seems unlikely.

May 2021
By Paul Homewood May 2021 can easily be described as “cold and wet”. It was the coolest May since 1996, but nowhere near as wet as 1967; 1924 and 1925 were both also wetter: If you thought it was cold though, temperatures were 0.9C lower eighty years ago. Although that month started […] read more
Saturday Snippet: The Taxman Cometh
Taxation has been one of the most unpopular aspects of government since time immemorial. Whether levied in a civilized fashion, through payroll deductions and at point of sale, or extracted at the point of a spear or sword, governments need taxes to function - but those on whose behalf they're supposed to function resent having to pay taxes, particularly when they think they see others benefiting from them more than they do themselves. In their new book "Rebellion, Rascals, and Revenue: Tax Follies and Wisdom Through the Ages", Michael Keen and Joel Slemrod look at the histor... read more

The current friendship between Moscow and Beijing is a reflection of that crisis and the realization that it’s much better for both countries to be allies than enemies. In 1969 the two pillars of the communist bloc, the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China, nearly wen... read more

Was There a Nuclear War Option to Win the Vietnam War?
*Steve Weintz* *The Vietnam War, Asia* The use of nuclear weapons in Vietnam would have been useless, if not outright disastrous. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Even with such awesome firepower, the results looked unsatisfying. Wargames played under Big War conditions—massed troop and armor concentrations in Europe—indicated that each nuke would only kill one hundred soldiers.

进化的目标--M.N. 霍普金斯的洞察力
进化的目标是将我们的人性与神性相结合。 我们的人性被创造出来,随着时间的推移逐渐被更新和提升,以保持人类实体内的平衡。 随着时间的推移,神性将永久地融入人类系统中。 人性或神性都不会支配对方。 人类和神性都将被整合,并在自由中合作工作。 任何一方都不能把自己的意愿完全强加给另一方,因为推动进化的是与神性意识相融合的人类系统中最好的东西,或融入神性意识。 这是一个相互的安排或契约,由于从一开始就建立在系统中的内在完整性,它可以而且永远不会被破坏。 *© **2021 M.N. Hopkins* *注:*正如我所看到的,那些拥有完整人类DNA的人将是那些将被进化的人。 我们进化的密码已经写在我们的dna中。 我们意识的提升将由神性来推动。 这是一步一步完成的,每次升级一点点,这样才能在人类实体中保持平衡。 干扰这个过程只会损害人类的实体,并可能使神与人之间的联系短路。 那些屈从于疯子和他们的奴才的这种实验的人,在某种意义上将成为行尸走肉。 *To read the original insight in English, please click on the link below:* *https://mnhopkins.blogspot.com/2021/06/the-goal-of-evolution-insight-by-mn.html* read more
進化の目的 - M.N.ホプキンスの洞察力
進化の目的は、人間性を神と統合することです。 私たちの人間性は、時間をかけて徐々に更新され、向上していくように作られています。 時が経てば、神は人間のシステムに恒久的に統合されます。 人間と神のどちらかが他方より優位に立つことはありません。 人間と神の両方が統合され、自由の中で協力的に働くようになる。 進化の原動力となるのは、神の意識と融合・統合された人間のシステムの中で何がベストなのかということなので、どちらも自分の意志を相手に完全に押し付けることはできません。 これは相互の取り決めや契約であり、最初からシステムに組み込まれていた固有の完全性のために、決して壊すことはできません。 © 2021 M.N.ホプキンス *注:*私が見たところ、人間のDNAがそのまま残っている人が進化すると思われます。 私たちの進化のためのコードは、私たちのDNAの中に書かれています。 私たちの意識の高揚は、神によって推進されます。 これは段階的に行われます。一度に少しずつアップグレードすることで、人間の実体のバランスが保たれます。 このプロセスを妨害することは、人間の実体にダメージを与えるだけでなく、神と人間の間のつながりをショートさせる可能性があります。 狂人とその手先によるこの実験に従う者は、ある意味で「歩く屍」となる。 *To read the origin... read more
