Since 1995, uranium enriched Zelenogorsk, a closed city that strongly evokes the Soviet era, has made fuel for nuclear reactors that supply Americans with electricity. Now it hopes that embracing a French company with new technology could lead to a more s
WSJ, Alexandra Alter : "Publishers are only just beginning to mull over the potential uses for e-reading data. Many are skeptical that analytics can aid in the industry's ongoing battle to woo consumers who are increasingly distracted by games and social media. But at a time when traditional publishers are losing ground to tech giants like Amazon and Apple, better analytics seem to offer tantalizing possibilities."
Suomessa voi tulevaisuudessa liikkua amerikkalaisia sotilaita - muutenkin kuin harjoituksissa. Suomi neuvottelee historiallisesta puolustussopimuksesta Yhdysvaltain kanssa. Suomen suurimman vientialan eli teknologiateollisuuden näkymät ovat painuneet synkiksi. Puolustusvälinevalmistus kuitenkin kasvaa. Ukrainalaiset ovat ylittäneet Dneprjoen - Kiovassa ihmiset vannovat kovaa taistelutahtoa. Ecuadorissa on murhattu presidenttiehdokas - maahan on julistettu hätätila. Tapaamme myös taiteilija Kustaa Saksin, joka saa suuriin tekstiiliteoksiinsa inspiraatioita muun muassa migreenikohtauksistaan.

SIPRI continues that, “In addition to its direct impact of high military expenditure, there are also indirect and more long-term effects. According to one study taking these factors into account, the overall past and future costs until year 2016 to the US
"The study, conducted by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute (EPI), finds that from 2000 to 2014, American workers’ total productivity increased 21.6 percent, while the median worker’s compensation, including pay and benefits, rose just 1.8 percent.
The new data continue a trend that goes back decades. From 1973 to 2014, "American worker productivity increased 72.2 percent while median worker compensation rose just 8.7 percent. From 1948 to 1973, by contrast, typical worker compensation and productivity grew at roughly the same rate.
The global warming agenda is a desperate effort to gain greater control over our lives. Political commentator Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) explained that “the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
That’s the political goal of the global warmers.

I maj 2006 sade den amerikanske FN-ambassadören, John Bolton: "Huvudsaken är att Ryssland och Kina är ense om att detta [Irans kärnforskning] är ett hot mot internationell fred och säkerhet enligt kapitel VII." Kapitel VII ("åtgärder i samband med hot mot
Pollin: "... the Pentagon, part of their industrial policy has been this brilliantly executed plan of having activities in every single congressional district in the country. So every single congressional district in the country benefits from the $700 billion military budget. If we're spending $700 billion, Paul, on the military, we cannot help but create millions of jobs. How could it be otherwise? When you spend that level of money, you're going to create a whole lot of jobs. And I would say roughly 6 million jobs in the economy are tied directly to the Pentagon spending."

". Let us just say that China is not engaged in an arms race with the U.S. and that its strategic posture is defensive. This does not mean that it does not engage in the tactical offensive in areas where it feels it faces an existential threat, like the South China Sea."
"In May 2021, Beijing successfully landed a spacecraft on Mars, only the third country to accomplish that after the U.S. and Russia. Nor was this a fluke. Baidu launched a quantum computer that people will be able to access via a smartphone app. Construction is underway on the largest pulsed-power plant in the world, leading specialists to predict that China could achieve nuclear fusion energy by 2028. Beijing is even funding civilian hypersonic transport."
A strong state, it might be noted — one that was far stronger owing to its revolutionary origins than the classic developmental states of the Asia Pacific rim — had made the difference.
In any event, China is now the center of global capital accumulation. In the popular image, it’s the “locomotive of the world economy,” accounting for 28 percent of all growth worldwide in the five years from 2013 to 2018 according to the IMF — more than twice the share of the United States.
Wilkerson on the nomination of Chuck Hagel as Secr of Defense and Hohn Kerry as Secr of State: "We've got a lot of work to do in this country, rebuilding infrastructure, addressing climate change, coming up with alternative energy sources, and leading the world, more or less, in this effort, so at the same time we restore our economic power while we're leading the world in a way that will be sustainable to the end of this century."
