Taliban overrunning Afghanistan… so what? [Video]
In rather breathless headlines, Fox News is trying to whip up sentiment about Joe the Imposter being a terrible president. Here is that headline: Pretty nifty, isn’t this? Aside from the fact that it was President Trump who was (very wisely) in the mind of pulling all American troops out of that country, simply because […] read more

U-boats Slaughtered Americans in 1942
Soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a bigger naval defeat killed twice as many Americans. After war was declared, the Germans quickly dispatched 20 submarines to American waters to sink commercial ships. During the first six-months of 1942, German U-boats sank 225 American merchant vessels along the Atlantic coast. As defenses improved, U-boats […] read more

Rodney Reed, Emma-Jayne Magson And The Abuse Of The Criminal Appeal Process (2)
The Emma-Jayne Magson case is a different kind of abuse of the appeal process. In March 2016, Magson stabbed James Knight through the heart with a steak knife. At first she denied it, then claimed self-defence, then some concocted mental “disorder”. At her first trial, later that year, Magson didn’t testify. She was convicted and […] read more

Rodney Reed, Emma-Jayne Magson And The Abuse Of The Criminal Appeal Process (1)
Every criminal justice system worthy of the name has an appeal process. In England, the Attorney General may appeal against an unduly lenient sentence. In Canada, the Crown may appeal against an acquittal. For the most part though, the right to appeal is weighted in favour of a convicted person, but winning an appeal is […] read more

"Who Lost America's Longest War?"
*"Who Lost America's Longest War?"* by Pat Buchanan "In April, President Joe Biden told the nation he would have all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack ever on the continental United States. Given the turn of events of the past week, that 20th anniversary may be celebrated by a triumphant Taliban, now on the cusp of victory over the Americans and their Afghan allies, with gruesome public executions of their surrendered and captured enemies. Sept. 11, 2021, could see U.S. Marines and diplomats fleeing Kabul to escape the r... read more

Creative Associates International (CAI): It’s Not Exactly the CIA, But Close Enough
CHEVY CHASE, MARYLAND — You have likely not heard of them, but Creative Associates International (CAI) is one of the largest and most powerful non-governmental organizations operating anywhere in the world. A pillar of soft U.S. power, the group has been an architect in privatizing the Iraqi education system, designed messenger apps meant to overthrow the government of Cuba, served as a front group for the infamous Blackwater mercenary force (now rebranded as Academi), and liaised with Contra death squads in Nicaragua. As such, it has functioned as “both as an instrument of foreign ... read more
The Long, Jaded History of ‘Steel Tomb’ Submarines
*Peter Suciu* *Miltiary, Americas* While the submarines were advanced the training of the crew certainly wasn’t. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *Since their inception submarines have been called a “steel tomb” due to the inherent dangers involved in their routine operations. It almost seems unnatural to design a boat that would travel under the water’s surface, and that is why it took a brave type of sailor to volunteer for such duty. During the American Civil War, the CSS Hunley became the first “successful” submarine in that it could effectively submerge yet had problems ... read more

Alimentado aos leões - Um poema de M.N. Hopkins
*Alimentado aos leões * *Não temos medo de si* *Nós somos os leões* *© 2021 M.N. Hopkins* *Nota: Escrevi este poema há alguns dias pensando em como era fácil atrair a população mundial a renunciar à sua soberania e aos poucos direitos que lhe restavam. É tudo uma grande opnião psicológica que atrai as pessoas. No dia em que muitos de nós perceberem isto, as cortinas cairão que nos distraem da realidade de uns poucos homens e mulheres fracos e pistosos que se fazem de defensores do diabo e nos atraem para a submissão a estes planos maléficos.

Is Sig Sauer’s MG 338 Heavy Machine Gun In The Cards For the U.S. Military?
*Caleb Larson* *Guns, * an Instagram video of the MG 338 at the 2020 SHOT Show is revealing. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The high weight of the M2 means it is crew-served. Rather than one soldier or Marine manning the M2, more manpower is needed. The M2 is therefore often mounted on tanks, trucks, boats, or other vehicles.

The Vulnerability of Modern Civilization

This shows the vulnerability of modern civilization. Neither capitalism nor communism can assure victory.

Atomic Bomb Survivors—A Model For Us In COVID-19 Era
Survivors of Hiroshima are a dying population. People who were 20 years old at the time of the bomb would now be 96. The survivors still alive were mostly children then, and they too are dying out. Does this suggest that the message of hibakusha, the original survivors, has come to an end? I do not think so. Consider the message that Hiroshima survivors have brought to the world. A history professor I interviewed during my 1962 study of hibakusha — “explosion-affected people” — described how, soon after the bomb, he looked down at the city from a high suburb: “Hiroshima had disapp... read more

The Economic and Moral Case Against Eviction Moratoria
Back in September, Wall Street Journal economic reporter Jon Hilsenrath interviewed me for a long news story he was doing on the effects of President Trump’s economic policies. He asked largely tough questions that made me think his piece would be somewhat critical of Trump. It was, although it was largely fair. But one question […] The post The Economic and Moral Case Against Eviction Moratoria appeared first on Econlib. read more

Don’t Blame Joe Biden for the Afghan Debacle
*Doug Bandow* *Afghanistan, Middle East* Today’s tragic climax to America’s involvement in Afghanistan’s war probably became inevitable when the mission changed from counterterrorism to nation-building. Afghanistan is looking like a disaster. Ten provincial capitals were lost in a week. Afghan troops surrendered without firing a shot. Now, there are ever more pessimistic estimates as to how quickly Kabul might fall. The Biden administration is U.S. sending troops back to protect the capital airport for emergency rescue flights. Even more embarrassing is its plaintive request th... read more

Is Another Stimulus Check Coming? Don’t Bet Your House on It
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Payment, United States* Since March, amid increasing vaccination rates, the economy has begun to recover. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A Tax Foundation study found that the money provided by the first stimulus check quickly re-entered the economy, with about 75 percent of the dollar value spent right away. The second and third payments were less effective, but the evidence appears to be clear that rapid distribution of emergency funding—even if some is accidentally given to the deceased—has a positive economic effect.

Blacks Most “Vaccine Hesitant” to COVID-19 Shots – More Ignorant or Wiser than General Population?
Many surveys show that black people are the most "vaccine hesitant" when it comes to the COVID-19 shots. Is this because they are more ignorant than the general population, or wiser? Blacks have a very strong distrust of the government, an attitude that quite frankly has been essential to the survival of their people in most countries. I have been watching these pathetic "protests" around the world and wondering when people are going to actually get REAL, and do something about stopping this eugenic mass genocide; like targeting vaccine clinics where they are killing people with... read more
