 Some of the foreign contractors who powered the logistics of America’s “forever war” in Afghanistan now find themselves stranded on an unending layover in Dubai without a way to get home.

After nearly two decades, the rapid U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has upended the lives of thousands of private security contractors from some of the world’s poorest countries – not the hired guns but the hired hands who serviced the American war effort. For years, they toiled in the shadows as cleaners, cooks, construction workers, servers and technicians on sprawling American base

Oregon Gov. Brown refuses to talk about bill she signed in secret allowing students to graduate without being able to read or do math

Excerpt:

 

Kate Brown, the far-left Democratic governor of Oregon, quietly signed a bill into law last month that will allow high schoolers to graduate without proving they can read, write, or do math — and told no one about it.

And now, when pressed on it just days ago, she still won’t talk about the law….

….The Beaver State’s Democrat-dominated legislature passed a bill in mid-June, SB 744, dropping requirements that would-be graduates demonstrate they have achieved essential high school-level reading, writing, and math skills for the next five years, the paper said. The move was an extension of the suspension of skills requirements that had been enacted last year in response to the pandemic.

Believe It or Not: U.S. Nuclear Declaratory Policy and Calculated Ambiguity

Excerpt:

 

America’s current policy of “calculated ambiguity” is worth keeping because it contributes to deterring a growing range of strategic non-nuclear threats (chemical, biological, and conventional), provides U.S. leadership freedom of action in a crisis or conflict, and assures allies and partners. However, influential politicians such as House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, plus a host of non-government analysts, are proposing changes to U.S. nuclear declaratory policy now because the Biden administration is in the early stages of formulating U.S. nuclear policy. As nuclear modernization programs advance through Congress, the likelihood of restricting or outright eliminating them falls.

They hope that if the Biden administration adopts new declaratory policy, that may provide enough impetus to achieve their visions of a reduced U.S. nuclear arsenal. These alternative policies — including nuclear “no first use,” “sole purpose,” and an “existential threat policy” — miss the mark because they seek to restrict U.S. deterrence options through declarations that opponents are unlikely to believe, and allies and partners believe are to their detriment. Instead, U.S. officials should articulate a strong defense of the current nuclear declaratory policy of calculated ambiguity because its flexibility is its strength, and a true necessity in a dynamic security environment.

Glue Tournequet Could Stop the Bleeding of Even Gaping Wounds

Bio-inspired, blood-repelling tissue glue could seal wounds quickly. A new adhesive that mimics the sticky substance barnacles use to cling to rocks may offer a better way to treat traumatic injuries.

Excerpt:

Inspired by the sticky substance that barnacles use to cling to rocks, MIT engineers have designed a strong, biocompatible glue that can seal injured tissues and stop bleeding.

The new paste can adhere to surfaces even when they are covered with blood, and can form a tight seal within about 15 seconds of application. Such a glue could offer a much more effective way to treat traumatic injuries and to help control bleeding during surgery, the researchers say.

“We are solving an adhesion problem in a challenging environment, which is this wet, dynamic environment of human tissues. At the same time, we are trying to translate this fundamental knowledge into real products that can save lives,” says Xuanhe Zhao, a professor of mechanical engineering and civil and environmental engineering at MIT and one of the senior authors of the study.

China Owns Your Damning Data

PGC – According  to a former NSA advisor under President Trump, China’s infiltration of Americas digital marketplace has given it access to data that can  make just about all of us vulnerable to blackmail.

The former advisor, Matthew Pottinger, was testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committe this past Wednesday, August 4th, that China’s presence in our internet infrastructure through 4G, 5G, and through platforms such as TikTok and Huwaiwei smart phones, is capable of creating a dossier on almost every single American.

That dossier could be used by China to blackmail any US citizen that might be offering them trouble as they continue to infiltrate our country and seek to subvert the fundamental resistance to socialism with chinese characteristics, the Bill of Rights.

American companies have that same power, but as they are not quite as homogenized under one brutal coercive all-powerful party like the  companies of China are, they are far less capable of coordinating such a thorough, centralized categorization of these personal data sets.

The ability of the state to coordinate the multiplicity of data entry points and coordinate it into a national strategic database tracking anyone and everyone they could, zeroing in on the trouble makers as they need to, is greatly enhanced when it hold absolute life or death authority over its business leaders, as Chairman Xi does over his business leaders.

The effort to use capitalism to liberate China has turned into the American government and corporations  concluding that China’s Socialism with Chinese Characteristis is a better fit for them than the pesky Bill of Rights and a Constitutionally Limited Democratic Republic is.  China’s model offers more power to a few and less competition from the vast majority.  What American businessman wouldn’t LOVE to have that kind of power?

The problem is, all these players today fancy themselves above risk when it comes to however power is consolidated in these American lands, if it ever is.  They don’t imagine that anyone but either themselves or a close sub-factional ally will ever have the power  over alll institutions in the land that Xi has over his land.

But for 99 percent of them, they are sadly mistaken.  This doesn’t end as well as the ones signing up with the dance with the CCP devil thinks it will.

Pottinger told the committe that, “Assembling dossiers on people has always been a feature of Leninist regimes, but Beijing’s penetration of digital networks worldwide, including using 5G networks … has really taken this to a new level……..So, the Party now compiles dossiers on millions of foreign citizens around the world, using the material that it gathers to influence, target, intimidate, reward, blackmail, flatter, humiliate, and ultimately divide and conquer.”

Meanwhile, American corporations make decisions regarding the creation of movies that are far more concerned with Chinese, rather than American audiences, and thus, are far more concerned with the morality code of Chairman Xi than that of the Bill of Rights and a Constitutionally-limited Democratic Republic, which is the deal we were all born into, and a deal we’re not so willing to reject, just yet.

China Creates Western Silos that P

PGC – While American corporations continue to get cozy with the world’s  most advanced and powerful nationalist state, that same nationalist state, China, is now able to claim that American soil is now within range of their big guns, nuclear missiles that could reach the US.

US Satellite surveillance has finally revealed a network of nuclear missile silos constructed in Western China that now mean the US is within firing shot of Chinese nuclear missiles.  Meanwhile, American Wrestling Legend John Cena is apologizing in perfect Mandarin to Chairman Xi over ‘mistakenly’ calling Taiwan a nation.

Admittedly, our own corporations, and many of our our political leaders, are coming across like this guy, a Spartan political leader on the payroll of the Persians who was working to undermine the Spartan resolve to help Athens meet the invading Persians.

China has constructed a vast network of bases to house the superpower’s growing nuclear arsenal. Satellite images have captured what appears to be a new silo field under construction in the west of China. A nuclear nonproliferation expert has warned the US outlet Fox News that these new facilities are equipped with nuclear weapons capable of targetting the entire United States.

Fox News presenter Bret Baier reported: “A second missile field capable of housing nuclear missiles that could reach the US has just been discovered in China.”
“For the second time in two months, new satellite photos show China building over a hundred silos to house nuclear missiles,” continued Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson
“When complete it will have more than 200.

Taliban Take Three Major Cities in Just Three Days

PGC – So far, every effort to slow down the Taliban advance in Afghanistan has met with little success.  Since the US pullout, the Taliban have taken scores of cities, with much  of the south  of the country either under Taliban control or disputed territory.

As the Taliban roll forward, what’s not being reported on is all the human beings currently facing execution, torture, rape, for just being part of a family of one of the people who openly aligned with the the West, especially with Americans.

These people are being brutalized wherever the Taliban move in.

The American state made promises to a nation-state it should never made in the first  place, promises that it would rebuild Afghanistan and turn it  into a viable, prosperous state.  But after it finally got a significant portion of Afghanis to go along with the plan, when things got rough, the Americans bolted, leaving behind families upon families of guilt-by-association who are now at risk of serious physical trauma, harm, and even death.
