Atmospheric Burnings: The Re-entry of China’s Tiangong-1
The precipitous demise of China’s prototype space station, Tiangong-1, was the sort of event that took earthbound discussions to more heavenly matters.

In doing so, they have a distinct habit of leaving debris, a junking phenomenon that has seen space become a celestial[Read More...]

Americans Trust ‘Our’ Intelligence Agencies. Should We?
The record is clear that ‘our’ (that is, the ruling Establishment’s) intelligence agencies, such as the CIA, have lied to the public many times, and actually lie routinely — but these lies are always revealed only decades later, by historians, when it’s decades too late, because the damage was already done, decades before. Think, for example, of just two now-famous[Read More...]

Rethink Weapons Exports
How do we treat opponents? In strong democracies, we engage them in cooperative dialogue. In weaker democracies, we exclude and overpower them. If we’re undemocratic, we might kill them.

In 2016, U.S. government arms exports totaled $38 billion, more than a third of the[Read More...]

With more Palestinians than Jews, Israel is waging a numerical war of attrition
The Israeli military made an unexpected admission last week. It warned a parliamentary committee that Jews are for the first time outnumbered by the Palestinians living under Israeli rule, both those inside Israel and in the occupied territories.

I have been pouring over all of the most recent reports and revelations about that "poisoning" of former Soviet agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter on March 3rd, 2018.....

Mexico, a country plagued with drug cartel violence and institutional corruption, now must face another issue, a constant influx of weapons from the United States.

UK Councils Cut Funds for Children’s Services
After a four-month investigation, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found more than half of the councils in England are cutting funds for vulnerable children, because the costs of these services put almost all councils over budget.

The recent cuts will cause reduced support for disabled children, cuts to child protection teams, and closures for children’s centres.

Canadian Students Take on Oil-Supporting Universities
Students in Canada, a major oil producer, have lagged behind the US and UK in calling on their campuses to divest from the fossil fuel industry – but they are catching up.
Universities are viewed as leaders in thought, and student divestment campaigners hope that cutting financial ties between universities and the fossil fuel industry will mar the public perception of oil companies. The divestment movement began in the United States in 2011, and the United Kingdom followed suit, with more than 100 educational institutions between the two countries now committed to divestment. -
