Machiavelli’s Impossible Advice

America's Critical Infrastructure Needs a Cybersecurity Upgrade
*Dan Goure* *Cybersecurity, Americas* The threat to these large, complex systems is quite severe. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Protecting critical infrastructure is a never-ending problem. Operating systems must be constantly patched as vulnerabilities are uncovered. Computer systems and networks are routinely needing upgrades as new malware is developed. The expense of that is significant. Some experts have characterized IT security spending as a “black hole.” Any new approach that does not have to be constantly enhanced would significantly reduce future costs of cyber de... read more
Can the Marines Reform Themselves to Better Confront the China Threat?
*Dan Goure* *Security, Americas* One proposal has some ideas about how to do so, but there are some potential problems. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What could be wrong with a plan that promises to make the Marine Corps relevant to future conflict scenarios, liberate it from being America’s second land Army, and simultaneously give it a whole lot of new platforms and systems? Actually, quite a lot. In his *Commandant’s Planning Guidance*, Marine Corps General David Berger proposes the most radical redesign of the Marine Corps in more than half a century.

White House Announces Vaccine Exemption for Illegal Aliens, Mandates on American Citizens Remain
As many have noted, the *entire* premise behind the Biden administration mandatory vaccine requirement for U.S. workers is political. They are not even attempting to frame a legal or constitutionally valid basis for their unilateral proclamation. Nothing about the policy is based on science, or even the possibility of executive authority. The announcement on Thursday […] The post White House Announces Vaccine Exemption for Illegal Aliens, Mandates on American Citizens Remain appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

Did Vaccines Really Eliminate Polio? COVID-19 Shots Linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome – Common Side Effect of Vaccines that Resembles Polio
FiercePharma, the pharmaceutical's trade publication, reported yesterday that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) was adding Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) as a side effect to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot. This comes two months after the FDA issued a similar warning for GBS on the Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 shots. The FDA and CDC claim that GBS is "rare." However, based on years of statistics on vaccine injuries, especially for the flu shot, the evidence suggests that it is not that "rare" at all. GBS is almost always diagnosed based on the symptoms, and it shares the same symp... read more

Are Mr. Biden's demands a Trojan horse, to expose dissenters and compile a "hit list"?
I've been giving a lot of thought to Mr. Biden's ultimatum to the American people, delivered yesterday afternoon. It was clearly unconstitutional, just like his earlier use of the CDC to illegally block evictions of those who have not paid their rent. The latter was overturned by the Supreme Court, and he - or, rather, those using him as cover, those manipulating him like a stuffed puppet - must surely know that the same is likely to happen to his vaccine "mandates" . . . *SO WHY DO IT?* *Why impose mandates that are obviously and prima facie illegal and unconstitutional?* ... read more
