"The Day That Europe Died"
*"The Day That Europe Died"* by Mike Adams "Breaking news: BASF has announced they are partially shuttering operations in Germany and moving capacity to China. Today is the pivot point. Europe dies from here forward, and it doesn't recover for generations. It's done. Almost nobody realizes this yet, but the dominoes are already falling. Europe is rapidly plunging into a continent on a collision course with total collapse: no industry, no supply chains, no energy, no metals, no fertilizer and no food. The "first world" status of Europe will be a distant memory after just 2-3 winters... read more

Citing rising threats from Russia and China, it argues that the only viable U.S. response is to rebuild the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal, maintain an array of dangerous Cold War-era nuclear policies, and threaten the first use of nuclear weapons in a variety of scenarios. This NPR does not reflect the sensible steps President Biden proposed as a candidate to re... read more

Writing On War"As this century began, I was writing War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, my reflections on two decades as a war correspondent, 15 of them with the New York Times, in Central America, the Middle East, Africa, Bosnia, and Kosovo. I worked in a small, sparsely furnished studio apartment on First Avenue in New York City. The room had a desk, chair, futon, and a couple of bookshelves — not enough to accommodate my extensive library, leaving piles of books stacked against the wall. The single window overlooked a back alley. There were days when I could not write. I would sit in desp... read more

EU Admits New Cold War Is Not ‘Democracy Vs. Autocracy’The European Union’s top foreign-policy official, Josep Borrell, admitted that the new cold war that the West is waging on China and Russia is not a conflict of “democracies vs. authoritarians.” “On our side, there are a lot of authoritarian regimes,” the EU’s de facto foreign minister conceded. Borrell’s comments directly contradicted those of US President Joe Biden, who claimed in his first State of the Union address in March that the new cold war is a “battle between democracy and autocracies.” The top EU diplomat instead recognized that the new cold war is a struggle in which... read more

Quitting Elon
Elon Musk speaks at the Tesla Giga Texas manufacturing “Cyber Rodeo” grand opening party in Austin on April 7, where throngs of electric car lovers attended a huge party inaugurating the “gigafactory.” | Suzanne Cordeiro/AFP via Getty Images Elon Musk’s former fans have lost faith in the idea of the billionaire genius.

Adidas, Kanye, and the $4 billion sneakerhead industry
Getty/Brad Barket/Vox Resellers turned Yeezys into a goldmine for sneaker resale sites. What happens now? Adidas ended its seven-year business partnership with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, earlier this week after the artist made a series of antisemitic remarks and wore a “white lives matter” shirt at Paris Fashion Week. Now, the ripple effects of Adidas halting production of the popular Yeezy brand of footwear and apparel has cascaded outside of the company, and into a burgeoning, lucrative, and broader sector: the sneaker resale market. This slice of the shopping world is w... read more

“True Story Streets of Philadelphia, 10/28/22"*Full screen recommended.* *“True Story Streets of Philadelphia, 10/28/22"* "Violent crime and drug abuse in Philadelphia as a whole is a major problem.

"Halloween and Scary Movies"
*"Halloween and Scary Movies"* by John Wilder "Happy Halloween. The origins of Halloween are older and murkier than what can be teased out of history. Is it a Christian holiday tossed over the top of an old pagan one? Is it a purely Christian holiday? Is it a floor wax? Is it a dessert topping? Why not all of the above? Regardless, Halloween happens at my favorite time of the year. One of the things that we lose in the frenetic pace of modern society is a loss of connection to the cycles of life. There are long cycles: Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood, and Maturity. Techn... read more
