There are some interesting podcasts by Dr. James Giordano on neurocognitive enhancement and weaponizing brain science.

"... brain-machine interface technology." The Verge
"Elon Musk has said that his secretive neurotech firm Neuralink will demonstrate a working “device,” presumably a brain-machine interface, at 6PM ET on Friday. Musk has spoken repeatedly about his belief that BMI devices are needed to help humans keep up with AI by supplementing our brainpower...
The fake U.S. attack on Syria is part of a negotiation tactic against North Korea. Make the other side think you are eager to fight and perhaps even a little unhinged then they will be more willing to appease you if they believe they have no choice but to deal with you.
Ignorance is Strength by Publius Tacitus
This is must see. Not because it reveals anything new about the false narrative pushed by Donald Trump and his enablers (i.e. Mattis, Tillerson, McMaster and Haley)--i.e., that the Government of Syria used a chemical weapon against Islamic rebels last week. Nope. It is must see because it is c...
If countries with aging populations can create a path for refugees and migrants to participate in the economy, everyone benefits. (sarcasm)
THE BELGIAN SYNDROME: From Rear Base to Front-Line State for European Jihadis
By Patrick BAHZAD Early this morning, Brussels was rocked by a string of explosions which hit both the main airport terminal and the city's subway network, close to the headquarters of the EU. Based on what is known so far about the attacks, it looks like the death toll will be quite high a...

TTG
The last sentence reminds me of the sci-fi novel Dawn by Octavia Butler. The author suggests that humans have an inevitable self-destructive conflict between their high intelligence and their hierarchical natures. Octavia Butler was a great writer that died far too young.
Fools and Fanatics - TTG
These are the words of Tom Lowe, a British spy sent to befriend and kill Edward Teach, the pirate Blackbeard, in the NBC series Crossbones. It was based on Colin Woodward's fictional book The Republic of Pirates. In the NBC series John Malkovich created a magnificent portrayal as Blackbeard. A...
A week ago a NY newspaper in White Plains published lists of gun owners. Now, it seems the same newspaper has hired armed guards in response to unspecified threats to the editor.
I am having trouble thinking of anything more hypocritical than declaring that other people should not enjoy the right to defend themselves with guns, while defending yourself with guns.
The Ruger 10/22 and the Keltec SU 22
This is the Ruger 10/22 rifle. Five million of these have been made since 1964 in a variety of modifications. They are all basically the same gun. It is made in .22 LR caliber. Is this one of the guns you anti-gun people want to ban? It is semi-automatic. The one I used to own had a he...
