I haven't spent much time discussing the smaller parties in Saskatchewan's provincial election, and I don't see much basis to think any of them will be in serious competition to win any seats. But it is worth pointing out how a few aspects of their platforms fit into Saskatchewan's political picture - particularly as they may hint at weak spots for the Saskatchewan Party. While the NDP has focused directly on the Sask Party's propensity for sending public money to out-of-province operators and workers, both the PCs and the Buffalo Party focus in on one of the possible causes of th...

Assorted content for your weekend reading. - The CCPA Monitor interviews William Carroll about the fossil fuel elite's control over far too much of Canadian politics, and the barrier that creates to any meaningful climate action. And Thomas Gunton takes note of the reality that new pipeline projects can't be justified on any economic basis (other than a belief that dirty fossil fuels should somehow be singled out for subsidies), while contributing to readily-avoidable harm to our planet. - Meanwhile, Andrew Leach and Blake Shaffer write that Alberta's transition away from coal ...

US warns Turkey over reported test of Russian S-400 missile system Deutsche Welle October 17, 2020 Turkish TV showed amateur video purportedly showing the test firing of the Russian anti-aircraft weapon system by the Black Sea. Washington said the test was “incompatible” with the responsibilities as a NATO ally. The United States on Friday condemned NATO ally Turkey after it reportedly carried out its first test of a highly advanced Russian air defense system in defiance of US warnings. Amateur video, taken in the Black Sea city of Sinop, showed a narrow column of smoke headed high i...

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Amazon, * [image: Reuters] That’s a massive 60 percent increase from last year. Amazon has announced that third-party sellers on its platform earned more than $3.5 billion during this year’s Prime Day shopping event—a hefty increase of nearly 60 percent compared to last year. The e-commerce giant didn’t disclose the total sales from Prime Day but did admit that third-party sellers’ sales grew even more than Amazon’s retail business. First launched in 2015, Prime Day has become Amazon’s most important and profitable retail and marketing event. It enables the c...

Whoops! Here’s a October surprise for ya! Direct evidence implicating former Vice President Joe Biden in a pay-for-play corruption scandal will be released to the public 10 days prior to the 2020 election, Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, told Daily Caller’s senior White House correspondent Christian Datoc in an exclusive interview. The former New York City mayor spoke with Datoc for a half-hour in New York City Thursday evening about all of the new allegations raised by emails and text messages alleged to have been pulled from a hard drive previously owned...

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The 21/2-year-long trial, which included 419 witnesses ranging from American and Allied buck privates to the last emperor of China, left little doubt that former Japanese Premier Hideki Tojo and his 27 fellow defendants were indeed evil men who had deliberately planned and systematically carried out a brutal war in which “inhabitants of countries which they overran [were] ruthlessly tortured, murdered and massacred in cold blood.” When the Tokyo War Crimes Trials opened in the former hilltop headquarters of the...

*Hans Binnendijk* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] These global trends are turning against the United States, a process that has accelerated during the past four years. The decline is still reversible—but only if the United States acts wisely. Soviet analysts during the Cold War measured national power using holistic measures which they called the global correlation of forces. This dynamic assessment often included not just relative military power but less tangible factors like alliance cohesion, economic sustainability, national unity, morale and will, and a winning strateg...

*Tim Groseclose, Dennis Prager* *Politics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2018%3Anewsml_RC171BED6EC0&share=true] It sounds silly, but this number illustrates the danger if each side began expanding the court every time they could. Exponential growth. It’s why plagues are so dangerous and compound interest is so wonderful. It’s also why the Democrats’ flirting with court-packing could destroy the Supreme Court and, with it, America as we know it. The following is a reasonable scenario: Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Cou...

*Mark Episkopos* *Pukguksong-4, Asia* Though it is possible that the Pukguksong-4 will exceed the 1,900-2,000 km estimated effective range of its predecessor while offering enhanced offensive capabilities, it is unlikely to pose the same massive leap in capabilities as the one between the Pukguksong-3 and older Pukguksong-1. So why even bother building it? North Korea’s recent military parade at the 75th anniversary of the founding of the North Korean Workers’ Party brought forth a slew of conventional and nuclear weapons. But with the major headlines trained on the DPRK’s new ...

*Peter Suciu* *F-15, * The F-15E is the first aircraft cleared to use the SBD II Stormbreaker, while the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet are next in line to be equipped with the smart weapon. Despite its age, the F-15E Strike Eagle is getting some new upgrades that will make it an even more formidable aircraft in its ground strike role. After a nearly yearlong delay, the U.S. Air Force announced this week that it had begun fielding the Small Diameter Bomb II on the Strike Eagle. The “StormBreaker” air-launched, precision-guided munition was appro...

*SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2020* *The statements of Rachel Maddow:* Thirty-six hours later, we're still thrilled that we got to see Savannah Guthrie's confident, skillful performance at Thursday night's town hall. You almost never see major journalists perform in a competent manner. Especially on that one early question—When was Trump's last negative test before contracting Covid-19?—Guthrie performed with tremendous confidence and skill. As citizens, you almost never get to see that. It simply isn't done. In each of the last two nights, MSNBC star Rachel Maddow has displayed the mo...

Michael S. Rozeff October 16, 2020 Now that Trump has declassified the Obamagate documents, it’s no crime to publish them unredacted and complete.

This set of possible legalized whistleblowers would seem to include Barr, Durham and … Continue reading Declassified Documents →

pic.twitter.com/QGnMSvY8RM — Chad Jones (@CoachChadJones) October 14, 2020 This is a great example of how the #FakeNewsMedia and Democrats change language on a dime. They've now redefined protests to include violence so that they don't have to use the bad word; riot. Amy Coney Barrett uses the phrase "sexual preference" and the left goes all jihadi on her with a dictionary even changing the entry for the phrase to say that using it is bad. But RBG, the closest thing Democrats have to a saint other than Bill Clinton, used that very phrase and no one objected. The problem is of...

In the recent ABC town hall meeting Joe Biden said this: *The idea that an 8-year-old child, a 10-year-old child, decides, you know, “I want to be transgender, that’s what I think I’d like to be, it’d make my life a lot easier” — there should be zero discrimination. * Note that Joe didn't say that the kid should work with his parents or a competent psychologist. He said the kid gets to decide. Remember "treatment" for transgendered kids includes taking very powerful drugs that go against their bodies own nature and even irreversible surgery that will mutilate them for life. We're n...

Jesse Jackson was pro-life before the rich white folk who run the DNC made him change his position. One of the reasons he was pro-life is that his mother told him that if abortion had been legal when she was carrying him she probably would have aborted him. The very fact that abortion is legal tends to put societies imprimatur on the idea that killing ones child is ok. Men love that because when they use a woman rather than love her and she gets pregnant they can tell her that if she doesn't have an abortion all the responsibility for their child is on her. A young girl was pr...

*Breitbart* | “You have big tech oligarchs declaring war on Donald Trump, on the Republican Party, on conservatives across America.”

*National File* | Asked during ABC’s town hall if he would pack the Supreme Court if he is elected, Joe Biden – yet again – left himself some weasel room in his answer leaving it unclear.

*National File* | Joe Biden was finally forced to respond when confronted by a CBS reporter.

*Caleb Larson* *F-35, Asia* American F-35B stealth fighters could afford Seoul a power-projection capability that few countries are capable of. Work on South Korea’s first true aircraft carrier is going full steam ahead, *Jane’s*, a defense industry website reported. The carrier program, known as the LPX-II, would take approximately 10 years from the beginning of the design phase to until completion, which means that a commissioning date could come in 2030 or 2031. The LPX-II program was originally envisioned as a newer, more capable amphibious assault platform. In that configur...

In 1955 the US and the Soviet Union were in the midst of the Cold War. Both countries were pressuring Asian and African countries to align with them. In April of 1955, twenty-nine of these countries met in Bandung, Indonesia for the first Bandung (Asian-African) Conference. Most of the countries that attended were in the process of emerging from the shackles of colonial rule. They met to address their common problems; sovereignty, political self-determination, non-aggression and equality. The post The “Non-Aligned” Nations Realign appeared first on PopularResistance.Org.

Eleven months after a U.S-backed military coup overthrew the democratically elected Evo Morales and his Movement to Socialism (MAS) party, Bolivians will go to the polls on Sunday, offering them a chance to repudiate the coup government of Jeanine Añez, who has ruled the country since last November. The last year has been a period of constant political struggle, as the self-described “interim government” has fought to impose its rule on a rebellious population, attempting to bring sweeping changes to the Andean state.

Chile's Constituent Unity Pact (CUP) called on citizens to commemorate the first anniversary of the social outbreak with pot-banging, honking, cycling, caravans, and cultural activities.

If it were not for a tiny handful of journalists—ShadowProof’s Kevin Gosztola preeminent among them—Americans might be utterly unaware that a London magistrate, for the last month, has been considering nothing less than whether journalists have a right to publish information the US government doesn’t want them to. Not whether outlets can leak classified information, but whether they can publish that information on, as in the case of Wikileaks, US war crimes and torture and assorted malfeasance to do with, for instance, the war on Afghanistan, which just entered its 19th year, with...
