Observations on Nine Months of Decision-Making Training
Instead of pursuing a typical quarantine hobby (like baking homemade sourdough), John Schmitt spent his lockdown helping ROTC cadets further their military training. He describes the process of leading Tactical Decision Games remotely and the outcomes he observed.
Training People to Make Better Decisions
Have you ever wondered how to improve decision making in fast-paced, real world situations?
Recognition-primed decision (RPD) is a model of how people make quick, effective decisions when faced with complex situations. In this model, the decision maker is assumed to generate a possible course of action, compare it to the constraints imposed by the situation, and select the first course of action that is not rejected.

China's Giant Ionosphere-Zapping Radar Is a Defense System Masquerading as Science
The Navy and DARPA ran a similar facility–the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in Alaska. The South China Morning Post recently revealed plans for a new Chinese radar facility on the island of Hainan, China’s southernmost point. Described as a “high-powered incoherent scatter radar,” this installation will bounce radio waves off the Earth's high-altitude layer of charged gas called the ionosphere. Although the project is in step with the county’s other mega-science projects, experts think the new facility is more interested in military matters than discovering the secrets of Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Think of the current time as the world’s largest ever human IQ test..
"If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized... If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance - you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest." - Ian Watson

The Road to Totalitarianism - by CJ Hopkins
"The global-capitalist ruling establishment is implementing a new, more openly totalitarian structure of society and method of rule. They are revoking our constitutional and human rights, transferring power out of sovereign governments and democratic institutions into unaccountable global entities that have no allegiance to any nation or its people. That is what is happening … right now.

Today in "the fall of western civilization": The 2021 "Global Emerging Technology Summit" of the "The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence" (NSCA) (8h Video)
#Comment: This gathering of western military, business and political "leaders" (50%+ spooks) is in essence a total shit-show of the very worst kind. "Diverse" participants - from sleazy used car salesmen, loony dr.strangeloves, to soulless think-tankers and political puppets - are discussing things like A.I, info-warfare and killer robot efforts, all in the name of preserving the "rules based international order" and "democracy" (what ever that means). Fantastic comedy!

Robotic police dogs: Useful hounds or dehumanizing machines?
If you're homeless and looking for temporary shelter in Hawaii's capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eye to make sure you don't have a fever. That's just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, the best-known of a new commercial category of robots that trot around with animal-like agility.

Extreme weather takes climate change models ‘off the scale’ (FT)
Impressions of extreme weather events in July 2021 from around the world “Chinese authorities said the volumes of torrential rain that drenched central China’s Henan province last week - Zhengzhou saw 20cm of water fall in a single hour - had exceeded anything on record for the past 5,000 y.”
"And in Russia, a state of emergency has been declared in Yakutia in the Far East, where authorities are creating artificial rain by seeding clouds with silver iodine in an attempt to put out more than 200 fires.

Joke as a weapon. Five theses on “fun guerrilla”
Spaßguerilla – literally fun guerrilla – is a particular creative concept that emerged within the 1960s German student protest movement. Agitating for social change, a more libertarian, less authoritarian and less materialistic society, Spaßguerilla was all about using tactics characterised by disrespectful humour and provocative actions to mock the routines of ordinary politics in a conservative Germany.

New geopolitical hotspots are emerging and nations in conflict are adopting warfare tactics that differ from those of the 20th century.

CIA Director Says He Is Escalating Efforts To Solve 'Havana Syndrome' Mystery (npr.org)
"Under Burns' direction, the CIA has tripled the number of full-time medical personnel at the agency who are focused on Havana syndrome and has shortened the waiting period for afflicted personnel to be admitted to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. "I'm certainly persuaded that what our officers and some family members, as well as other U.S. government employees, have experienced is real, and it's serious," Burns said. The director says he is seriously considering the "very strong possibility" that the syndrome is the result of intentional actions, adding that there are a limited number of "potential suspects" with the capability to carry out an action so widely across the globe. A report from last December by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found that microwave radiation is the "most plausible" explanation for the symptoms."
