Public Health Authorities & Media Messaging LIED/LIES About Covid Vaxx Effectivness- Breakthrough Cases Bigger Problem

"Dear Fed: Are You Insane?"
*"Dear Fed: Are You Insane?"* by Charles Hugh Smith "History definitively shows that speculative bubbles always pop—always. Every speculative bubble mania, regardless of its supposed uniqueness- "it's different this time"- pops. No speculative bubble has ever "reached a permanently high plateau" and then remained on the plateau for years. So what does the Federal Reserve do? It inflates the biggest speculative bubble in modern history and then implicitly promises it will never pop. Dear Fed, are you insane? You might as well make a public pronouncement that stocks have "reached a p... read more
For Some Retirees, Taking Social Security Earlier Makes a Lot of Sense
*Stephen Silver* *Social Security, United States* “You can start receiving your Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, you are entitled to full benefits when you reach your full retirement age. If you delay taking your benefits from your full retirement age up to age 70, your benefit amount will increase.” *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“If you don't have a lot of money in retirement savings, boosting your benefits by claiming them at age 70 may seem like a smart idea. But if you're not confident you'll live a long life, then filing well before the ... read more
The Dogfight Days of the YF-22 Lightning II
*Peter Suciu* *military, Americas* In the end, it wasn't that the YF-23 was a bad design, nor was it really a losing design. It was really just a classic example of where the competition was just that much better. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* For every winner, there is also a second best. When it comes to military hardware there are plenty of designs that were very good, very innovative and likely would have been more than up to the role required – but there was simply something just a little better. This is certainly the case of the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23, a f... read more
How Long Will the F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter Remain Untouchable?
*Peter Suciu* *F-22, * Combining stealth, supercruise, maneuverability, and integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor represented an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities when it was introduced in 2005. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-22 Raptor has proven to be an aircraft that can engage an enemy but has speed on its side as well. Its engines are able to produce more thrust than any current fighter engine flying today, while the Raptor's aerodynamic airframe along with increased thrust allows it to cruise at supe... read more
Why Fraudsters Want Their Hands Your Child’s Social Security Number 
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Social Security, * [image: Joe Biden Stimulus] As a proud parent of however many children one may have, it might never have crossed one’s mind why fraudsters would want to get their hands on Social Security numbers of minors. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Children are more likely to become victims of identity theft than adults following a data breach.

Russia Stole Ukraine’s Navy—Now Washington is Trying to Give It a New “Mosquito” Fleet
*Sebastien Roblin* *Black Sea Security, * Kiev remains set on building a ‘mosquito fleet’ of small, fast, and stealthy short-range patrol and fast attack craft which theoretically could prove more survivable and useable than large frigates and destroyers. And NATO member states are furnishing much of the new force, some of it for free. When Russian forces seized the Crimean peninsula in March 2014, they also wound up stealing most of Ukraine’s navy, including a half-dozen corvettes, the Ukrainian Navy’s only submarine, and even its attack dolphin program. Furthermore, up to seve... read more

*Peter Suciu* *Russia, Europe* It is the latest in a series of such cases in Russia. On Thursday agents from Russia’s Federal Security Service detained Alexander Kuranov, chief designer and CEO of the St. Petersburg-based open stock company Hypersonic System Research Institute. The seventy-three-year-old is a leading specialist in hypersonic technology and will reportedly be held for two months in pre-trial detention on charges of suspicion of state treason. It is the latest in a series of such cases in Russia. Kuranov is also a doctor of technical sciences and professor of cont... read more
Power Projection: Why the USS Nimitz Supercarrier Can Fight Anyone Anywhere
*Peter Suciu* *military, Americas* A total of ten aircraft Nimitz-class carrier ships have been built and the last of the class, USS George H.W. Bush, was commissioned in January 2009. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The *Nimitz-*class aircraft carrier is unquestionably a symbol of American might and power projection abroad. At 1,092 feet, the *Nimitz*-class supercarriers are more than three times the length of a football field, and with a crew of 3,200 sailors and 2,480 airmen, these are essentially floating cities. The lead ship of the class, USS* Nimitz—*nicknamed "Old Salt"—w... read more
Will Kazakhstan’s Plan to Tackle Poverty Succeed?
*Margarita Assenova* *Kazakhstan, Central Asia* With a territory the size of Western Europe and one of the lowest population densities globally, closing the gender divide in Kazakhstan will mean boosting economic growth and reducing vulnerability to poverty, especially in rural areas. As the first female president of Moldova, Maya Sandu, appointed Natalia Gavrilita to be the fourth female prime minister of the country, other Eastern European and Central Asian states are taking notice of the political advancement of women in the region. But progress is uneven in the region. Lithu... read more
The Collapse of Afghanistan Could Mean Trouble for America's Enemies
*Mark N. Katz* *Afghanistan, Asia* There is something that often—even if not always—happens after a regime allied to the United States is replaced by a regime that is hostile toward it: serious conflict takes place between America’s adversaries. Many observers, both past and present, have predicted that the downfall of corrupt, authoritarian regimes allied to the United States would lead to their replacement by more fearsome authoritarian regimes. These replacement regimes have been and will be hostile toward the United States, far more oppressive toward their people, and more th... read more
Why Afghanistan Abruptly Collapsed
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Afghanistan, Asia* The Taliban currently controls at least two-thirds of Afghanistan, and that percentage is rising fast. Why is this happening so quickly? Any American who watched the collapse of South Vietnam’s government during the early months of 1975 is experiencing an acute sense of déjà vu about the recent Taliban offensive in Afghanistan. Afghan government forces are reeling since the United States began to execute the pullout of its troops a few weeks ago. Nine provincial capitals and numerous district capitals have fallen to insurgent fighters. Th... read more
Taliban Overrun Kandahar and Herat: Catastrophe for Afghan Government
*Trevor Filseth* *Afghanistan, * Their capture marks the largest prize yet for the Taliban, which now controls more than one-third of Afghanistan’s provinces in their entirety and occupies roughly two-thirds of its districts. The cities of Kandahar and Herat, the second- and third-largest cities in Afghanistan were captured by the Taliban on Thursday. The loss of the two cities makes the Taliban’s control over southern and western Afghanistan complete and comes as a major catastrophe for the central government in Kabul, which now controls only a small patch of territory in the co... read more
