Christmas 2021: Hells Bells Ring Loud and Clear
I heard the bells on Christmas Day so I did. Only in 2021 the sound of Hells Bells can be heard loud and clear. I don't want to be negative on such a holy day but the song says "Then rang the bells more loud and deepGod is not dead, nor doth He sleep. The wrong shall fail, the right prevail." That's why it behooves us to call out Hells Bells when we hear them so clearly now. The headline reads BC closes gyms, bars, clubs and bans indoor Christmas parties as Omicron cases surge on the night before Christmas. This is not only ridiculous, it is straight up satanic. Omicron is 80% w... read more

Was Retiring the U.S. Navy's F-14 Tomcat a Huge Mistake?
*TNI Staff* *Security, U.S. Navy, F-14 Tomcat, Asia* In Washington, the U.S. Navy’s need for improved air superiority capabilities is often neglected. *Here's What to Remember: *The report notes that both the Super Hornet and the F-35C are severely challenged by new enemy fifth-generation fighter aircraft such as the Russian-built Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA, and Chengdu J-20. While the requirement for a carrier-based long-range strike capability is a frequent subject of discussion around Washington, the U.S. Navy’s need for improved air superiority capabilities is often neglected.

Did Ukraine Help Boost China's Missile Program?
*Charlie Gao* *Chinese Ballistic Missiles, China, Ukraine, United States* While the new generation of Chinese missiles may not be exact analogues of the ones Ukraine designed some decades ago, the continual flow of Ukrainian state secrets regarding missiles, the immigration of Ukrainian engineers and scientists, and the cooperation between Ukraine and China on civilian rockets all result in a situation where modern Chinese ICBMs probably incorporate Ukrainian know-how in one aspect or another. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Given all the different vectors through which rocke... read more

Can Russia’s Missiles Forces Sink a U.S. Aircraft Carrier?
*Charlie Gao* *Missiles, * Aircraft carriers face a litany of threats in the modern age, but the U.S. Navy has spent the last half-century thinking of ways to defeat threats to them. Kornets mounted on dhows is the least of a carrier’s worries. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Langfan does mention the thermobaric version of the Kornet as having massive explosive potential. While this is true, the thermobaric version has very little penetrative capabilities.

Drones, Drones, Drones: UAVs are the Future of Warfare
*Charlie Gao* *UAVs, World* Given their low radar, visual, and thermal signatures, loitering munitions are very hard to track and kill. Success on a future battlefield may very well be determined by which side can use loitering munitions to the greatest effect. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In this role, the loitering munition is seen to provide a more precise alternative to guided artillery and traditional drones to a small unit leader.

The Chinese J-10 Has Some Deadly Limitations
*Charlie Gao* *J-10, Asia* The J-10 was a light single-seat multirole aircraft meant to replace older J-7 and J-8 aircraft as the bulk of forces a possible adversary would meet. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: While the constant redesign of the J-10’s intake and fuselage belies the fact that at the core the aerodynamic design is less mature, these drawbacks would not prove to be as much of a problem if the aircraft remains at range and slings missiles. In the 1990s, China introduced its answer to the MiG-29 and F-16. The J-10 was a light single-seat multirole aircraft meant t... read more

The Real Antidote To Inflation
The Federal Reserve is caught between a rock and a hard place. Inflation grew by 6.8% in November, the fastest in 40 years, a trend the Fed has now acknowledged is not “transitory.” The conventional theory is that inflation is due to too much money chasing too few goods, so the Fed is under heavy pressure to “tighten” or shrink the money supply. Its conventional tools for this purpose are to reduce asset purchases and raise interest rates. But corporate debt has risen by $1.3 trillion just since early 2020; so if the Fed raises rates, a massive wave of defaults is likely to result.... read more

Gas Prices Continue Dropping, Though Not as Quickly as Before
*economy, Americas* The Omicron surge has continued to loom large when it comes to gas prices and which direction they’re going. Gas prices in the United States are still much higher than they were a year ago, but this week, they’ve gone slightly lower. The average price is now $3.29 a gallon as of Thursday, a penny less than it was on Monday. Gasoline stocks decreased, while demand fell as well, according to AAA. “Typically, falling demand and increased supply would support higher drops in pump prices, but fluctuations in the price of crude oil have helped to keep pump p... read more

Remote Observation: What Could ET See?
[image: Remote Observation: What Could ET See?] *As we puzzle out the best observing strategies to pick up a bio- or technosignature, we’re also asking in what ways our own world could be observed by another civilization. If such exist, they would have a number of tools at their disposal by which to infer our existence and probe what we do. Extrapolation is dicey, but we naturally begin with what we understand today, as Brian McConnell does in this, the third of a three-part series on SETI issues.

Christmas Eve 2021
Twas the night before Christmas so it was. I suppose I should probably say something about Christmas. Of course I have a Christmas message ready for Christmas morning but that is specifically about the conditions surrounding this Christmas as opposed to previous ones. I've already talked about Christmas rage as that's one of my pet peeves about the season. For a holiday that supposed to be peaceful and happy, there are alot of angry people out there losing their sh*t over stupid things. It completely defeats the purpose. I did some baking this year for close friends but I cheated... read more
"If You Look..."; "Can You See The Signs That Are Happening All Around Us?"

These Five Russian Weapons Can Destabilize Chinese Power
*Kyle Mizokami* *Russia, Eurasia* China and Russia are unlikely to go to war... but who would have the upper hand if they did? *Here's What You Need to Remember*: In our last article, we discussed the possibility of Russia and China going to war. Relations between the two are currently fairly good, and war between the two countries is seemingly unlikely. That being said, the two have had their share of territorial disputes, and at this point it is probably not a good idea to consider any dispute with China dormant. Both Russia and China would have their own advantages and disad... read more

Hybrid Warfare: Explaining Russia's Assault on Ukraine

"The Elves of Capitalism"
"The Elves of Capitalism" By Jeffrey Tucker One reason that the Brothers Grimm fairy tales have such appeal - more so than the folklore that came before - is that they deal with a world that is familiar to us, a world that was just being invented in the early 19th century, when these stories were first printed and circulated. They deal with people, scenes and events that affect what we call the middle class today, or the bourgeoisie. Yes, the stories feature kings, queens, princes and princesses - this was not yet the age of democracy - but most often our sympathies as readers ... read more

The Poet: David Whyte, "The Opening of Eyes"

I knew then as I have before, Life is no passing memory of what has been, Nor the remaining pages of a great book Waiting to be read. It is the opening of eyes long closed. It is the vision of far off things, Seen for the silence they hold. It is the heart after years of secret conversing Speaking out loud in the clear air. It is Moses in the desert fallen to his knees Before the lit bush. It is the man throwing away his shoes As if to enter heaven an... read more

After one year of testing a new class of "vaccines" on the American public and citizens around the world to fight a never-ending "pandemic" and "virus" that cannot even be isolated in a laboratory, the U.S. Government-owned Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), which most of the country, including doctors and medical professionals, do not even know exists, shows that the evidence is overwhelming: the COVID-19 experimental shots are killing and crippling an unprecedented amount of people, including unborn children in the womb.
