*"Why Americans Are Losing Faith in the System"* By Bill Bonner SAN MARTIN, ARGENTINA – "California has banned singing in church. Here’s CNN: "Three northern California churches have gone to federal court to challenge the state’s ban on singing and chanting in houses of worship, arguing that it unfairly singles out religious services while ignoring protests against police brutality.

What’s Up At NATO?
You could be excused for having missed the fact that NATO is in the process of updating its nuclear strategy, including substantial and significant steps. These include technologically more ambitious weapons that can be used more easily. This is the implementation of a decision made at the NATO Warsaw Summit in 2016 to revise the nuclear strategy. In order to follow what’s going on, you have to dig deep on the internet. While this is a little easier because of Covid-19, as a lot more is happening online and NATO is just a little bit more transparent than before the pandemic, it is ... more »
The Economy: What Lies Ahead
The US economy at mid-year 2020 is at a critical juncture. What happens in the next three months will likely determine whether the current Great Recession 2.0 continues to follow a W-shape trajectory—or drifts over an economic precipice into an economic depression. With prompt and sufficient fiscal stimulus targeting US households, minimal political instability before the November 2020 elections, and no financial instability event, it may be contained. No worse than a prolonged W-shape recovery will occur. But should the fiscal stimulus be minimal (and poorly composed), should pol... more »

UK And Hong Kong: Mutually Reinforced Ignorance
Three years ago, I visited Old Supreme Court Building in Hong Kong, also known as The Court of Final Appeal, together with my friend, an Afghan-British lawyer, who was on a personal mission of ‘re-discovering Asia.’ Coming from a prominent, highly educated family in Afghanistan, my friend was extremely well aware that both the United States and the United Kingdom thoroughly destroyed her country during the recent occupation. In fact, under the NATO boots, Afghanistan became the poorest country in Asia, with the lowest life expectancy. But after the long journey through Asia, some... more »

The U.S. Military Is Dreaming Up a Way to Wage a War in the Arctic
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * And what combat systems it needs to do it. Combat in the Arctic is a difficult proposition. Sub-zero temperatures, penguins, polar bears, ice, glaciers and snowstorms all present challenges for possible combat operations.

Why America's F-52 Stealth Fighter Can't Be Killed
*TNI Staff* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2014%3Anewsml_GM1EA9400L401&share=true] Simple: only Donald Trump knows about its 'existence'. *Key Point: *This was another option for a new stealth fighter, but it never went into mass production. However, America got the F-35 instead. President Donald Trump back in 2018 told reporters that the United States had delivered the F-52 to Norway. The statement was obviously a mistake; there is no such thing as an F-52 yet. The aircraft only exists in the context of a video game called... more »
Russia's SG-43 World War II Machine Gun Went to War Everywhere
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * And for decades. At the start of the Second World War the Soviet Union's Red Army was using a variety of antiquated weapons. The main battle rifle was an updated version of the Mosin-Nagant, which had been introduced in 1891 and apart from reducing the length by a few inches virtually nothing else was actually improved. The standard heavy machine gun was the largely obsolete Maxim M1910, a water-cooled machine gun that was essentially the same version used in the First World War. By contrast, the British Army had largely replaced its Vickers machine g... more »

However, it also isn't the kind of quick and more stream-lined platform as some would like. U.S. Marine Corps commandant Gen.

Overwhelmed by the harsh economic conditions afflicting Lebanon, Lebanese citizen Ali al-Haq decided to end his life before the eyes of passers-by on the capital’s busy Hamra Street.

Yes, the U.S. Navy Once Had a 'Battlecruiser' but It Was Terrible Idea

Alaska and her sister ships were well-armed for their time, each sporting three turrets (two facing forward, one rearward) armed with three twelve-inch guns. One of the mightiest warships of the U.S. Navy was also ironically the least useful. The USS *Alaska* and ... more »

There are several simulations of how that kind of a war would play out and they aren't good. On October 25, 2018, over fifty thousand military personnel braved chilly Scandinavian weather to begin Operation Trident Juncture—a massive exercise simulating a defense of Norway against land and amphibious invasion, and by some accounts th... more »

These newest weapons are no exception. The Russian armed forces serve eleven consecutive time zones, from Kaliningrad in the west to Khabarovsk in the far east.

The core of the article is how when she was 12 she saw a police officer shoot a kid because the kid had ignored the sign in sheet at the rec center. On the face of that that's absurd. The incident would have occurred somewhere between 2001 and 2003, her article lacks certain information so we can't be sure of the exact date, not in the 1950s Democrat run South so the likelihood of a cop shooting a kid for no reason being unheard of is rather slim.

Media bias, scaremongering, and the COVID-19 pandemic
As if we needed any more evidence of how the mainstream news media is misreporting the COVID-19 pandemic, PJ Media uncovers how they're deliberately not reporting data in an accurate, transparent, unambiguous way - so much so as to amount to *de facto* falsification. Without fail, the media seems intent on making America out to be the lone failure in the world in the battle against the coronavirus ... when you look at the number of cases or the number [of] deaths individually and compare them to other countries, the USA seems be the hardest hit… …that is until you account for popul... more »

75th Anniversary of the Great Victory: Shared Responsibility to History and our Future
75 years have passed since the end of the Great Patriotic War. Several generations have grown up over the years. The political map of the planet has changed. The Soviet Union that claimed an epic, crushing victory over Nazism and saved the entire world is gone. Besides, the events of that war have long become a distant memory, even for its participants. So why does Russia celebrate the 9th of May as the biggest holiday? Why does life almost come to a halt on June 22? And why does one feel a lump rise in their throat?

As I was saying in my previous post, we all make use of cherry-picked examples when it suits us. Sometimes it’s genuinely necessary to cherry-pick for quick and easy, soundbite-style emphasis, but there’s a fine line between wilful bias by omission and diluting one’s argument with too much background information. Taking things out of context on purpose is nasty, but people who do it habitually dent their own credibility, which ultimately has to be counter-productive.

Plessy v. Ferguson and BLM
The SCOTUS decision of Plessy v Ferguson perhaps didn't seem a big deal in 1896. It upheld "separate but equal" but really entrenched Jim Crow, the legal segregation of the races--rest rooms, drinking fountains, seats on trains and busses, housing, and jobs. It took years for SCOTUS to undo that mistake. Much of that progress since integration is now seen as racist and some radicals want to reinstate the separateness for some Americans. Today #Blacklivesmatter, the organization, is the new Plessy v. Ferguson. To use another example from the past, it's the new McCarthyism. It's not ... more »

Oxford U Scientists Suggest Herd Immunity High Enough to Prevent Second Wave of Covid in UK
*Modelling has it's drawbacks, BUT, multiple runs were made of varying scenarios supported by a professor of Mathematics from a different University who made calculations that support the theory. * *Their paper can be found here * *Abstract* *It is widely believed that the herd immunity threshold (HIT) required to prevent a resurgence of SARS-CoV-2 is in excess of 50% for any epidemiological setting.

One of their lesser-known, and indeed less-capable airframes is a copy…of a copy. Meet the J/F-7. *Oldies* The F-7 (or sometimes called J-7, after it’s Chinese parent) is an odd duck. The F... more »

Ready, Aim: Why Iran Loves the Steyr HS 50 Sniper Rifle
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, * Sayyads have already become infamous weapons due to their effectiveness. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The rifles are popular due to the generally static nature of warfare when it is between irregular factions in the region. Users of the Sayyad generally don’t need to move long distances with their rifle, so the weight and length of the rifle are less of an issue. .50 caliber sniper rifles have seen incredible proliferation in the twenty-first century. They are used in almost every hot zone around the world, from the Middle East to Ukraine. But... more »
