Turkey has issued a new navigational telex (NAVTEX), saying that the island of Chios has been militarised by Greece in violation of the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. According to the announcement made by the Turkish Naval Forces Office for Navigation, Hydrography and Oceanography (OHNO) station in Izmir, Greece’s arming of the island of Chios, which should have been demilitarised, is a violation of the Lausanne Peace Treaty. 🔴 #Turkey calls for immediate disarmament of #Chios, accuses #Greece of violating non-military status of Chios island as determined by 1923 Lausanne Treaty – Turkish Navtex📸 pic.twitter.com/cv22NsnCI6 — Mete Sohtaoğlu (@metesohtaoglu) September 15, 2020 The Treaty of Lausanne […]

“The worldwide threats hearing, less than 50 days before a presidential election, I’m not sure that that timing is particularly good,” said Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and of GOP leadership. “But I would be very concerned if they stopped coming up and talking to the Intelligence Committee.” The public isn’t going to be completely in the dark. Some top administration officials, including FBI Director Christopher Wray, are slated to appear Thursday before the House Homeland Security Committee to offer testimony on national security threats. But the failure to get intelligence leaders before the historically […]
Rank-and-file Democrats have increasingly become frustrated with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) brinksmanship-style negotiations with congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump. Politico reported that Pelosi has continued to pursue her hardline approach in negotiations with Republicans, demanding a coronavirus bill around $2.2 trillion. The report arises as many coronavirus programs created by the CARES Act have languished over Pelosi’s reluctance to compromise with Trump and congressional Republicans. However, her reluctance to find a middle ground with moderate Democrats has infuriated many of her most vulnerable members. Senate Democrats rejected a targeted coronavirus aid bill sponsored by Senate Republicans last week. During […]
Less than a month into his tenure as the Air Force’s new chief of staff, Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown put his commanders on notice that they will have to change quickly to prepare for the next war — or risk losing to an adversary such as China or Russia. The details of Brown’s call to “accelerate change or lose” will begin taking form at the Air Force’s fall meeting of its most senior leaders, called Corona. In a roundtable discussion with reporters at the Air Force Association’s virtual Air, Space, Cyber conference, Brown called the upcoming meeting with the leaders of […]
A professor at Washington and Lee University is offering a writing seminar called “How to Overthrow the State,” which “place(s) each student at the head of a popular revolutionary movement aiming to overthrow a sitting government and forge a better society.” Students are charged with writing their own revolutionary manifesto in light of readings from revolutionaries like Che Guevara. The right-wing outrage machine, as you can imagine, is feasting on it and offering it as an example of the radical takeover of higher education. I’m intrigued by the class because I tend toward free-market anarchism myself and think that states are […]

In 2013, J.K. Rowling explained how she chose her now-controversial pseudonym, “Robert Galbraith.” The first name, she said, was a nod to her political hero, Robert Kennedy. And the last name? “When I was a child, I really wanted to be called Ella Galbraith, I’ve no idea why.” It’s a charming anecdote—but unfortunately, Rowling shares her pseudonym with real-life psychiatrist Robert Galbraith Heath, who in the 20th century pioneered what we now call conversion therapy using techniques including electroshock and “brainwashing” drugs. Rowling’s anecdote, issued before her alternate name choice had stirred much mainstream controversy, casts this tie as sheer, if […]

US officials are at growing risk of being prosecuted for war crimes over the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, a New York Times investigation has revealed as President Donald Trump clears the path for further sale of advanced weapons to the Gulf states following Abu Dhabi’s normalisation of ties with Israel. Interviews with more than a dozen current and former US government officials show that the legal fears related to the arms sales, over the course of two presidential administrations, run far deeper than previously reported. Those concerns are said to have prompted a number of officials to consider hiring […]

New research from UBC finds that after a night of shorter sleep, people react more emotionally to stressful events the next day — and they don’t find as much joy in the good things. The study, led by health psychologist Nancy Sin, looks at how sleep affects our reaction to both stressful and positive events in daily life. “When people experience something positive, such as getting a hug or spending time in nature, they typically feel happier that day,” says Nancy Sin, assistant professor in UBC’s department of psychology. “But we found that when a person sleeps less than their usual […]
Authored by Pat Buchanan via Buchanan.org, “There is no… sound reason for the United States to continue sacrificing precious lives and treasure in a conflict not directly connected to our safety or other vital national interests.” So said William Ruger about Afghanistan, our longest war. What makes this statement significant is that President Donald Trump has ordered a drawdown by mid-October of half of the 8,600 troops still in the country. And Ruger was just named U.S. ambassador to Kabul. The selection of Ruger to oversee the U.S. withdrawal came as Gen. Frank McKenzie of Central Command announced plans to cut […]

We Can Still Win The War On Plastic By Michael K. Dorsey, Fair Observer.

As with so many other things in 2020, the full-out war against plastic has abated. For many years, even decades, before the current global pandemic, environmental advocates have waged a war against single-use plastic. We’ve been winning that war. More and more consumers are carrying reusable bags for groceries and other shopping items, asking restaurants to use more sustainable materials for take-out containers, and using fewer plastic straws.

US President Donald Trump has postured as a peacemaker and ender of “endless wars,” but one peace activist told Sputnik that Trump had greatly increased the risk of a major war around the globe by expanding US wars and undoing vital peace agreements – and his alternative on the November ballot isn’t much better.

Turkey said on Tuesday it had extended the operations of its Yavuz energy drillship in disputed Mediterranean waters off Cyprus until October 12, in a move that could stir tension between the Greek Cypriot government and Ankara. Yavuz will be accompanied by three other Turkish ships, according to a maritime notice that added “all vessels are strongly advised not to enter” the area. Cyprus’ internationally recognised Greek Cypriot government has long been at loggerheads with Turkey, which began drilling for oil and gas near Cyprus last year. The island was split after a 1974 Turkish invasion spurred by a brief coup […]
The Trump administration also changed its proposal to limit wastewater purges to 10 percent of their water on a 30-day rolling average, instead allowing local permitting authorities to set the discharge cap on a case-by-case basis in the final version. “EPA’s revised steam electric effluent guidelines shows President Trump’s commitment to advancing American energy independence and protecting the environment,” EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a statement. “Newer, more affordable pollution control technologies and flexibility on the regulation’s phase-in will reduce pollution and save jobs at the same time.” The numbers: EPA said the new rule would save the power sector […]
The administration has quietly reinstalled Chad Wolf as acting secretary of the homeland defense agency, following a judge’s declaration on September 11 that he was improperly installed.

The maneuver was described in a September 11 statement to a judge in New York, just after a federal judge in Maryland invalidated a DHS directive on the grounds that Wolf had been improperly installed as the acting DHS secretary: As DHS has consistently explained, Acting Secretary Wolf is serving lawfully […]

Joe Biden’s (D) campaign condemned the Trump campaign for holding an event in Michigan Monday night which featured Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Detroit rocker Kid Rock. Bill Russo, the deputy communications director for Joe Biden’s campaign, suggested that President Trump and his allies are not taking the Chinese coronavirus pandemic seriously by holding such events and are effectively putting voters at risk. “People in Michigan know inherently, even before this crisis hit, what the reality of the Trump administration has been. And I think since this crisis hit it’s only gotten worse,” Russo said, according to Fox 2. “President […]
About nine months into its existence, the Space Force is working on the nuts-and-bolts elements of how it will operate as its own military service. In an address Tuesday at the Air Force Association’s virtual Air, Space, Cyber conference, Chief Master Sgt. Roger Towberman, the Space Force’s top enlisted adviser, outlined where the new service is going on elements such as promotions, uniforms and first sergeants. The Space Force is trying to involve as many of its members in these decisions — not only to get a variety of perspectives, but also so space professionals feel they’re involved in building the […]

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has been grabbing the headlines and capturing the imagination of traders in recent weeks and some of the biggest centralized cryptocurrency exchanges seem to be afraid they’re missing out. That’s why they are now trying to reposition themselves as integral parts of this exploding sector, particularly as traders in China grow more interested in DeFi. Huobi announced Tuesday it was adding 10 more members to its DeFi initiative, described as “a consortium of centralized and decentralized financial services providers.” Archrival OKEx, which launched its OKxChain blockchain earlier this year, boasted Monday that with its latest upgrade the network […]
The pending cabinet reshuffle, schedule next month, is unlikely to make a huge difference to Sudanese current economic difficulties. Despite the signing of two peace deals ending 17 years of conflict in Darfur and South Kordofan, which in theory should lead to a redistribution of the country’s defence spending, the light at the end of the tunnel in Sudan remains barely visible. The next few months will be crucial for the country’s Prime Minister, who despite an upbeat beginning to his tenure, has not managed to make in-roads into Sudan’s major problems and has had to put up with a growing […]

President Trump made an interesting admission Tuesday morning when he said that Bob Woodward’s book was “fine.” Around the same time, the South China Morning Post published yet another excerpt from Woodward’s book, Rage, purporting to detail two “historic” phone calls between Trump and President Xi. During the calls, President Trump reportedly offered to help President Xi “100%” with whatever aid China required. But President Xi side-stepped the request, saying he was “personally overseeing” China’s response (in fact, Xi appointed his No. 2 man, Premier Li Keqiang, to oversee the situation in January), and asked Trump to simply support a WHO […]

(Natural News) The crisis America is facing today isn’t merely a “current events” crisis involving riots, arson, attacks on police and extreme censorship of conservatives and Christians. It’s much more than that: It’s actually a spiritual war being waged across this planet, with left-wing demons rising up to try to destroy society, mass murder Christians around the world, silence all voices of reason and burn down human civilization. This is further evidenced by the fact that BLM leaders are heavily into witchcraft and satanism.

The Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers along the coast of the Amundsen Sea have already contributed five percent to the rise of global sea levels, and scientists are bracing for far worse scenarios. The Antarctic glaciers, which have long been on scientists’ radars, have now been found to be on a course to disintegrate completely, sooner or later, as both are breaking free from the restraints that have hitherto kept them in place – and sea levels in check, according to findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study was based on thorough analysis of satellite […]

Update (1425ET): In what should be a surprise to nobody, House Democrats have completely shot down the $1.5 trillion bipartisan compromise for pandemic relief, arguing “When it comes to bolstering the public health system, supporting state and local governments, and assisting struggling families, the Problem Solvers’ proposal leaves too many needs unmet.” “… The health and economic crisis demands action. That will require President Trump and Republican leaders to come back to the table and work with Democrats to save lives and livelihoods,” the Democrats continue. Full statement here.

PARIS — The French Air Force is no more. On Sept. 11, it became the French Air and Space Force, completing a process initiated by President Emmanuel Macron in July 2019 when he announced the creation of a space command.

The logo features a thin, curved line that runs above the word “armée” and then behind the word “air.” It represents the surface of the world, above which soars the stylized sparrow-hawk, which has been the logo for the Air Force for a decade.

Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com, A report from The New York Times revealed that some US officials are concerned that their role in facilitating arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, while ignoring the harm to civilians each country has caused in Yemen, could lead to their arrest overseas for war crimes. A Congressional hearing over these arms sales is set to take place on Wednesday.

…from SouthFront.org The Saudi-led coalition has been bombing Yemen with a renewed energy following the recent missile and drone strikes on the Kingdom’s capital by the Ansar Allah movement (also known as the Houthis). According to pro-Houthi sources, Saudi warplanes conducted over 60 airstrikes on different targets across the country during the past few days. They insist that the most of the targets that were hit were objects of civilian infrastructure. At the same time, Riyadh claims that it has been precisely bombing Houthi military positions. For example, on September 12, the Saudi-led coalition announced that it had carried out a […]

However, in others, it simply adds some sizzle to otherwise mundane products. The hope is that customers will buy because of trending tech. So how does technology impact firearm safety and […]
