Note: I originally intended this as a short post to provide videos and photos of my time in Palestine in 2017. With news of a possible hostage swap, my mind is on the terror that detention and captivity bring to Israeli and Palestinian families. At the end of this essay, along with the photos, is … Continue reading "Night Raids, Tear Gas, and Captivity"
After the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989 and the death of the Soviet Union was confirmed two years later as Boris Yeltsin courageously stood down the Red Army tanks in front of Moscow’s White House, a dark era in human history came to an abrupt end. The world had descended into a “77-Years War”. … Continue reading "Reflections on Another Truce: Why There Is Still No Peace on Earth"
In numerous ancient Climate Audit posts, I observed that all MBH98 operations were linear and that the step reconstructions were therefore linear combinations of proxies, the coefficients of which could be calculated directly from the matrix algebra (described in a series of articles.) Soderqvist’s identification of the actual proxies enables calculation of the AD1400 weights […]

Mann’s AD1400 list included four series that […]

Even before the start of Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022 former Energy Secretary Ernest J. Moniz and Senator Sam Nunn have co-authored an article in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs explaining that the risk of nuclear use has become disturbingly plausible—and proposing concrete steps to reduce the risk. “In the U.S.-Russia relationship, clashing national … Continue reading "The Historic High Points in the American-Russia Relationship"
Reprinted with permission from the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. The cutoff of food, water, and fuel imposed on Gaza has created dire conditions for the Palestinians there in just the last six weeks. Soon, they could be starved to death. The trickle of aid that has been allowed in under international pressure is not … Continue reading "The Warfare of Starvation"
