INNOVATION IN FOREIGN ARMY SYSTEMS

Several nations are independently pursuing development of ground combat weapon systems that are comparable or superior to their U.S. Army counterparts, says a new report from the Congressional Research Service.

Accordingly, there is a “possibility that in the not-too-distant future, foreign armored vehicle design and capabilities could surpass existing U.S. systems.”

Below are three offerings, from Chuck Spinney, Mike Lofgren, and Jon Rappoport. Each deals with competing forms of fake news — the Trump version versus the Empire version. Both are wrong but between the two, the Empire version is more wrong. I've done all I can to help Donald Trump — in my view Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer are deliberately sabotaging his early days, and both should be dismissed immediately.

It is hard to help Donald Trump. Apart from his own hubris that makes him hard of hearing, particularly when those speaking are not billionaires, he is also being controlled and filtered now, in a most aggressive manner. I explicitly call out Reince Priebus as our Judas, holding back from Trump the three obvious moves that would expand Trump's legitimacy — and his sustainability — overnight.

The Establishment that fought Trump to the bitter end of the election and continues to fight him now consists of the two parties, the secret intelligence community leadership, the various complexes particularly the military industrial complex, and the banking cabal (Wall Street and City of London) under the influence of the Rothschilds and the Vatican.

There are three things that Donald Trump must do as part of his 100-day plan, or he may not make it past 2018….

Principles for an Age of Acceleration

MIT Media Lab is a creative nerve center where great ideas like One Laptop per Child, LEGO Mindstorms, and Scratch programming language have emerged.

Its director, Joi Ito, has done a lot of thinking about how prevailing systems of thought will not be the ones to see us through the coming decades. In his book Whiplash: How to Survive our Faster Future, he notes that sometime late in the last century, technology began to outpace our ability to understand it.

How the NYT Plays with History

By failing to tell the hard truth about Establishment wrongdoing, The New York Times — along with other mainstream U.S. media outlets — has destabilized American democracy, reports Robert Parry.

Rather than acting as a watchdog against these deceptions, the Times and its mainstream fellow-travelers have transformed themselves into little more than the Establishment’s apologists and propagandists.
