In a desperate maneuver, the U.S. activates its “rods from God”—a scheme developed in Project Thor involving telephone-pole-sized tungsten rods being dropped from orbit reaching a speed ten times the speed of sound [7,500 miles per hour] hitting with the force of nuclear weapons—and Beijing’s military command centers and other significant targets are destroyed. | 1 “Rods from God” weapon system. [Source: readingthepictgures.org] The above scenario looks increasingly plausible given a) the growing prospect of war between the U.S. and China; and b) the growing militarization of space by the U.S.—in violation of the landmark Outer Space Treaty of 1967 that sets aside space “for peaceful purposes.” U.S.

    Pizzagate / Pedogate, a No-Nonsense Fact-Filled Reader

    Pizzagate / Pedogate A No-nonsense Fact-filled reader Preface I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. —Trump Executive Order 13818, Dec. 20, 2017 Pizzagate means many things to many people, the angle of the lens may be different, but the focus zeros in on a common body of incontestable facts. The fruit of top researchers collected in this reader allows you to compare, correlate and derive a flexible synthesis to suit your needs. An era of wild contradiction is upon us in the press. The psychopathic rumblings that pass for political discourse bring the artform of infotainment to a golden blossoming. A bookstore display table featuring The Fixers; The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President versus Witch Hunt; The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History are both talking about the same man, someone who paid for his campaign out of his own pocket. There were no big donors from China and the traditional bank of puppeteers. This created a HUGE problem, one whose solution threatened the money holders and influence peddlers. New leadership and a presidential order that threw down the gauntlet, a state of emergency, seeded the storm clouds. The starting gun was fired, all systems were go, the race had begun. FISAs and covert operations sprang into action. The envelopes are being delivered, the career decisions are being made, should I move on or stay the course.

    Identifying and Countering FAKE NEWS Mark Verstraete1, Derek E

    Identifying and Countering FAKE NEWS Mark Verstraete1, Derek E. Bambauer2, & Jane R. Bambauer3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fake news has become a controversial, highly contested issue recently. But in the public discourse, “fake news” is often used to refer to several different phenomena. The lack of clarity around what exactly fake news is makes understanding the social harms that it creates and crafting solutions to these harms difficult. This report adds clarity to these discussions by identifying several distinct types of fake news: hoax, propaganda, trolling, and satire. In classifying these different types of fake news, it identifies distinct features of each type of fake news that can be targeted by regulation to shift their production and dissemination. This report introduces a visual matrix to organize different types of fake news and show the ways in which they are related and distinct. The two defining features of different types of fake news are 1) whether the author intends to deceive readers and 2) whether the motivation for creating fake news is financial. These distinctions are a useful first step towards crafting solutions that can target the pernicious forms of fake news (hoaxes and propaganda) without chilling the production of socially valuable satire. The report emphasizes that rigid distinctions between types of fake news may be unworkable. Many authors produce fake news stories while holding different intentions and motivations simultaneously. This creates definitional grey areas. For instance, a fake news author can create a story as a response to both financial and political motives.

    Professors of Paranoia?

    http://chronicle.com/free/v52/i42/42a01001.htm From the issue dated June 23, 2006 Professors of Paranoia? Academics give a scholarly stamp to 9/11 conspiracy theories By JOHN GRAVOIS Chicago Nearly five years have gone by since it happened. The trial of Zacarias Moussaoui is over. Construction of the Freedom Tower just began. Oliver Stone's movie about the attacks is due out in theaters soon. And colleges are offering degrees in homeland-security management. The post-9/11 era is barreling along. And yet a whole subculture is still stuck at that first morning. They are playing and replaying the footage of the disaster, looking for clues that it was an "inside job." They feel sure the post-9/11 era is built on a lie. In recent months, interest in September 11-conspiracy theories has surged. Since January, traffic to the major conspiracy Web sites has increased steadily. The number of blogs that mention "9/11" and "conspiracy" each day has climbed from a handful to over a hundred. Why now? Oddly enough, the answer lies with a soft-spoken physicist from Brigham Young University named Steven E. Jones, a devout Mormon and, until recently, a faithful supporter of George W. Bush. Last November Mr. Jones posted a paper online advancing the hypothesis that the airplanes Americans saw crashing into the twin towers were not sufficient to cause their collapse, and that the towers had to have been brought down in a controlled demolition. Now he is the best hope of a movement that seeks to convince the rest of America that elements of the government are guilty of mass murder on their own soil.

    Alfie with Milton D. Till Sr., a World War II Navy veteran. A tireless volunteer in the veterans’ community, Till died in 2020 at the age of 92. State Department of Veterans Affairs ALFIE ALVARADO-RAMOS What Alfie is All About By John C. Hughes Alfie Alvarado-Ramos “Veterans are the center of everything we do” he wanted to be a combat medic in Vietnam, but they told her women were barred from the battlefield. The Army sent her to nursing school. Now she’s a general in a war with an invisible enemy, a veteran helping veterans. Her name Sis Lourdes Esther Alvarado-Ramos. That’s a lot of names. You can call her “Alfie.” Everyone does. Her trademark smile also opens a lot of doors. Naïve but determined, she was a tiny 18-year-old when she ditched her boy- friend and left Puerto Rico to join the military 50 years ago. She was the first to volunteer for anything, even KP. Her boots were always the shiniest. She aced every test. Within 17 years she was one of the Army’s highest-ranking non-commissioned officers in the health-care field—the first female First Sergeant in the Berlin Bri- gade, and the first female Command Sergeant Major at Madigan Hospital and Fort Lewis. On the way up, she wasn’t afraid to make waves, especially when she encoun- tered sexism. The dentist who called her “sweetheart” got drilled. “I’m Hispanic. I’m female. And I am short!” Alfie says, chuckling now as she remembers the times when she had to draw the line.

    Competition, Disruption, and Deception: Global Trends 2018–2023

    Competition, Disruption, and Deception Global Trends 2018–2023 Five significant trends will dramatically shape the global outlook and operating environment through 2023. Global Trends 2018–2023 1 About Global Trends Global Trends 2018–2023 identifies five macro trends that play an outsized role in the current and future operating environment for businesses, governments, and citizens around the world. As part of its core mandate to help leaders anticipate and plan for the future, the A.T. Kearney Global Business Policy Council continually scans the horizon for developments across the global external strategic operating environment in the key dimensions of demography, economy, environment, geopolitics, governance, resources, and technology. In assessing these dimensions, the Council identifies emerging trends on an annual basis that may be slightly below the radar but are likely to have significant implications for how businesses and governments operate in the following five years. Global Trends 2018–2023 explores the manifestation of each of this year’s trends today, analyzes its medium-term outlook, and presents its high-level implications for business and government. This publication also revisits the trends that the Council identified in last year’s report to assess their trajectories over the past year and update their future prospects. The goal of the Council’s annual global trends publication is to help business and government leaders and strategic planners question their assumptions and build their capacity for adapting to the future—whatever it may bring. As such, the Council’s global trends analysis can help organizations develop monitoring systems for the evolution of trends—and the strategic shocks they may generate— that are most germane to their sector or industry, mitigating downside risks, recognizing opportunities, and strengthening their long-term strategies.
