The Imperialist Roots of the West
British imperialism is the father of the modern West and Spanish imperialism is its mother. Before the Age of Imperialism, the West was not a global power. The Classical Greeks and the Romans were not global powers—they were powers in an Europe that was deeply divided and mired in unending wars and massacres. The West held some territories in the Levant and North Africa during the Ancient and the Middle Ages, but the empires of the Levant and North Africa too held territories in Europe for centuries. The first teachers of the Romans, the Etruscans, were conquerors who had arrived fr... read more

It's been far too long since I updated my blogroll (several years, IIRC). I went through my "Blogs I Read Frequently" list yesterday, removed a number that are inactive or very seldom active, and added several that have become daily visits for me.

*Caleb Larson* *Guns, Americas* The iconic M1911 design is still manufactured by Colt 100 years later. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite no longer enjoying the widespread success that it once did as the United States’ standard-issue service pistol, the iconic M1911 design is still manufactured by Colt, as well as by a number of other firearm manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere abroad—not too bad for a pistol originally designed at the beginning of the last century.

International Sanctions Can’t Stop North Korean Weapons Proliferation
*Mark Episkopos* *Nuclear Weapons, North Korea* The international sanctions regime has proven largely toothless, if not counterproductive, as a means of starving DPRK’s military-industrial complex. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* According to a 2019 UN report, North Korea has developed a sophisticated criminal network to continue selling arms through a diverse cast of proxies, front companies, and foreign middlemen. North Korea (DPRK) is sometimes described as an ‘autarky,’ or economically self-reliant state, but this label belies some of the core workings of the North Kore... read more

In an effort to wean the Soviet Union away from a reliance on foreign ammunition calibers and foster self-sufficiency in weapon design, Soviet leadership turned to one of the heavyweight weapon designers: Fedor Tokarev.

Worldwide Protests This Past Weekend the Corporate Media Won’t Report
All across the world there were massive protests against medical tyranny and COVID vaccine passports this past week, but most of these are not being reported by the corporate media. In Australia, people are reporting that the cell phones of truckers were blocked so that they could not communicate and take photos and videos of their nationwide strike, which is apparently still in effect. There have been videos of empty shelves in some grocery stores, but the corporate media is reporting that it has nothing to do with the trucker strike. South Australia, however, did drop their COVI... read more

How the USS San Francisco Survived a Seamount
*Kyle Mizokami* *military, Americas* If a submarine’s hull remained intact, then it was able to surface and the reactor continued to operate the crew had a shot at survival. The USS San Francisco was able to do all three. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* In 2005, a U.S. Navy attack submarine collided head-on with an undersea mountain at more than thirty miles an hour. Despite the damage the ship sustained and the crew’s injuries, the USS *San Francisco* managed to limp to its homeport of Guam on its own power. The incident was a testament to the design of the submarine and the... read more

Forget the Nukes: North Korea's Artillery Army Could Kill 250,000

YOU MIGHT GET TO WATCH TRUMP DESTROY THE GOP -- IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH!
I approached this piece with -- as you can imagine -- quite a bit of skepticism. Atkins writes: Trump’s greatest gift to Republicans is also his greatest curse: He gave them permission to be their worst selves. By liberating the GOP to embrace its most noxious impulses, he has breathed new life into the staid culture that nominated John McCain and Mitt Romney while destroying basic norms of public decency and weakening the guardrails of democracy. I fail to see how there's a downside for Republicans in this, but Atkins assures us: Despite short-term appearances, unmasking the G... read more
