What Makes German Type 212 and 214 Submarines so Popular?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Type 214 Submarine, Europe* The luster of nuclear attack submarines begins to fade away when one sees the price tag. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The German Type 212 and 214 fuel-cell boats are at least as stealthy as their nuclear-powered cousins, if not more so, and each individual torpedo carried can be just as deadly. Considering that multiple boats like the Type 212 or 214 can be built for the price of a single nuclear attack submarine, the firepower advantage of the larger submarines is not so clear-cut.

ALBA Movements Issue Alert Over Coup Attempt In Peru
ALBA Movimientos is issuing an alert of a coup underway against the government of Pedro Castillo in Peru and is calling for international solidarity, saying, the removal of Héctor Bejar from the Foreign Ministry, just two weeks into government, “is a clear sign of the coup in progress in its political & military facet and expresses the linkage of right-wing parties with fascist sectors of the human rights violations [of past decades]”.

From Transforming Nature To Transforming Ourselves
On 9 August the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued the starkest report ever warning of the ‘code red for humanity’ of the climate emergency. UN Secretary General António Guterres said: “If we combine forces now, we can avert climate catastrophe. But, as today’s report makes clear, there is no time for delay and no room for excuses. I count on government leaders and all stakeholders to ensure COP26 is a success.” The post From Transforming Nature To Transforming Ourselves appeared first on PopularResistance.Org. read more
As Kabul Is Retaken, Papers Look Back In Erasure
Corporate media coverage of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the collapse of the country’s US-backed government has offered audiences more mystification than illumination. The Boston Globe, LA Times, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. The editorial boards of these papers consistently trivialized South Asian lives, erased US responsibility for lethal violence, and made untenable assertions about Washington’s supposedly righteous motives in the war.

What's the Worst Way to Die? Sarin Gas is a Miserable Way to Go
*Sebastien Roblin* *Weapons of Mass Destruction, World* A weapon so evil it is banned by international law. *Key Point:* Chemical weapons are often collectively labeled weapons of mass destruction, but many of them have a low fatality rate, serving principally as weapons of terror rather than attrition. Such terrible weapons are banned by international law for a good reason. But sometimes someone manages to use them anyway. The residents of Khan Sheikhoun probably thought they were in for just another ordinary day of civil war when they woke up early in the morning of April 4 t... read more
Eurasia Will Pay for Afghanistan’s Descent into Islamofascism
*Angel Jaramillo Torres* *Afghanistan, Middle East* It could perfectly be argued that nation-building and regime change were primarily policies set in motion to achieve the goal of preventing Islamofascist forces from proliferating not only within Afghanistan but across the region as well. One of the fallacies which have been allowed to permeate the public debate about the recent events in Afghanistan is that the Saigon-like evacuation in Kabul is somehow only America’s failure. In truth, the blunder should be adjudicated to the so-called international community. There is certai... read more
No F-35s Here: Why Germany Still Flies the F/A-18F Super Hornet
*Charlie Gao* *F/A-18 Super Hornet, Europe* Germany has decided to adopt both the American F/A-18F Super Hornet and additional variants of the Eurofighter Typhoon for their recent program to acquire a strike fighter to replace their fleet of Panavia Tornados. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *However, the surplus Eurofighters in the order indicate that Germany is sticking with the aircraft. Effectively, the ninety Tornados will be replaced by forty-five Eurofighters in the strike role and forty-five Super Hornets in strike, nuclear delivery, and electronic warfare roles.

A Fighter Jet is No Match for a MiG-27s Gatling Gun
*Sebastien Roblin* *MiG-27, Asia* Though not particularly agile, the MiG-27 was both fast and a stable firing platform with good low-speed performance. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In the end, only a single regiment of Soviet MiG-27s saw action during the Cold War, deployed to Shindand airbase in Afghanistan in 1988 through February 1989. They were principally used in high-altitude raids and reportedly made effective use of ODAB-500P fuel air explosives with a deadly blast radius extending as far 400 meters. However, many of the MiG-27’s advanced capabilities were judged t... read more
Any Regrets After Filing for Social Security at 62? 
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *economy, Americas* It indeed could be a prudent money-related decision to delay filing for as long as possible. Despite the ubiquitous warnings from financial planners, the world will not come crumbling down if one decides to claim Social Security benefits at age sixty-two, the earliest age to do so. In fact, millions have already done so and many do have legitimate reasons for that decision. However, know that this isn’t for all soon-to-be retirees, as each person’s financial standing is a bit different. *Eyeing Bigger Checks * The one clear fact is that... read more

A Report From The Fairy Creek Blockade
The cops are the army, are the industry, are the government, are the predator, are the enemy, and this is nothing if not a war for our very survival… BC’s perennial “war in the woods” is not just a catchy, metaphorical brand. We hold the enemy accountable by defending ourselves, and fighting back. We are accountable to ourselves when we realize that there is no such thing as justice, only liberation, and do whatever is necessary to make it happen.

Truth Is National Security
Drone whistleblower Daniel Hale was sentenced to spend 45 months in federal prison. Once again, so-called justice in this country will subject a person of truth to the desolate confines of prison, not because of the rule of law and justice, but out of a continuing desire to retaliate against those who dare stand up for truth and accountability in our government.

how nanoparticles affect DNA and health
11-6-2009 Nanoparticles of metal can damage the DNA inside cells even if there is no direct contact between them, scientists have found. The discovery provides an insight into how the particles might exert their influence inside the body….nanoparticles – which are a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair and used in everything from sunscreens to electronics. In the experiment, scientists from the University of Bristol grew a layer of cells and exposed one side to cobalt-chromium nanoparticles. On the other side of this cellular barrier were human cells called fibr... read more
