Russias defeat is the top global priority for 2023 ... The world has already paid a terrible price for handing Russia the geopolitical initiative.

J. Robert Oppenheimer Cleared ofBlack Mark After 68 YearsThe physicist and architect of the American atomic bomb was stripped of his security clearance in 1954 after what is now called a flawed investigation.
Oppenheimer Clearance Removal Vacated ... Heres whats not in the Granholm statement or an NYT article on the decision. In the early 1950s, Oppenheimer was not sufficiently in favor of developing the hydrogen bomb.

Oppenheimer had humiliated Lewis Straus, the chairman of the AEC, in a congressional hearing for his lack of knowledge of science. The knives were out ... no evidence was presented in the hearing that the two men precipitated on Oppenheimers security clearance that he was disloyal to the United States. Just that they didnt like the cut of his jib. And they won at the time. (plus, you know, he was Jewish)

Among the documents that remain largely hidden: 44 related to a shadowy CIA agent, George Joannides, and a covert Cuba-related program he ran that came into contact with Lee Harvey Oswald less than four months before Kennedy was shot ... Pentagon plan ..Operaton Northwoods ... false flag attack ... blame Cuba ... make up for aborted Bay of Pigs ... (very fishy) ... But the CIA disclosed none of that information and appointed Joannides as an agency liaison to investigators, which impeded the 1976 House Select Committee on Assassinations investigation ... Bradford discovered 20 years ago that the first recorded conversation between then-President Lyndon Johnson and then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover 22 hours after the assassination was mysteriously erased.

The Pandemic and War Not Government Spending Caused Inflation, According to Nobel Prize Winner - A new paper by Joseph Stiglitz and Ira Regmi has huge implications for everything about who holds power in American life ... insufficient supply ... not the result of significant excesses of aggregate demand such as might have arisen from excessive U.S. pandemic spending ... This means large, fast increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve will not substantially lower inflation unless they induce a major contraction in the economy, which is a cure worse than the disease (hello Biden and Powell) ... If Regmi and Stiglitz are correct, it suggests that we can use the tools of the government to make life better for almost everyone ... So the uncomfortable truth is that the top 1 percent generally prefer a slower-growing economy with higher unemployment to its opposite ... The people running things almost always would rather be firmly in charge of a weaker institution than be part of a stronger institution in which their power can be challenged ... 43 years through 2018 if the income distribution had remained at 1975s level. RANDs finding: The bottom 90 percent would have taken home a cumulative $50 trillion more in pay. (And of course the top 10 percent would have taken home $50 trillion less.) Again, this was a political choice, not an economic necessity ... increasing energy and food costs.

We cannot make social media good, because it is fundamentally bad, deep in its very structure. All we can do is hope that it withers away, and play our small part in helping abandon it

A map of the approximate situation on the ground in Ukraine as of 00:00 UTC 11/10/22. There have been no notable changes to control since the last update.
New: #Russian forces conducted massive, coordinated missile strikes on over 20 #Ukrainian cities. Putin claimed the strikes were in retaliation for the explosion on the Kerch Strait Bridge, likely in part to curry favor with pro-war factions.
From a human rights point of view, the attacks were inexcusable and will likely be ruled as war crimes. From the battlefield perspective, the Russian armed forces just dropped hundreds of millions of dollars to achieve basically nothing.

A Public Health Success Story - The New York Times We revisit the subject of Covid and racial inequities.

The Killers - Lawyers, Guns & Money We estimate substantially higher excess death rates for registered Republicans when compared to registered Democrats, with almost all of the difference concentrated in the period after vaccines were widely available in our study states. Overall, the excess death rate for Republicans was 5.4 percentage points (pp), or 76%, higher than the excess death rate for Democrats. Post- vaccines, the excess death rate gap between Republicans and Democrats widened from 1.6 pp (22% of the Democrat excess death rate) to 10.4 pp (153% of the Democrat excess death rate)

U.S. adult hesitancy to be vaccinated against Covid is associated with misbeliefs about vaccines in general, such as that vaccines contain toxins like antifreeze, and about specific vaccines, such as the fears that the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism : science

The Upcoming National Abortion Ban - Lawyers, Guns & Money (gay flimsy-dimsy is coming for your uterus)
Lindsey Graham Climbs Out on a Limb with Abortion Ban Bill : His colleagues are backing away like it's a fart in an elevator, and Democrats are whetting their attack ads. - I'm going to assume that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Soulless) has come up with this latest exercise in bad faith on his own, tapping into the native duplicity and naked ambition he exercised back when he first got famous in the pursuit of Bill Clinton in 1998. After all, his current patron is busy down in Florida, dodging a hail of writs and hiring everyone who ever walked past a law school to represent him in courts from Albany to Fort Pierce. No, I think the senator is on his own hook this time. After all, this is the same kind of faith-based, suicidal insanity for which conservative Republicanism was known in the days before it became just another gold-plated commode.
Eschaton: Dumb Or Pretending To Be Dumb Graham has been a major anti-abortion crusader his whole career, but portraying him as a reasonable moderate despite having never been a "reasonable moderate" even by the easy standards of these things on *a single issue* won't stop access journalists from playing along.

All Grand Compromises and Let The States Decide. Congrats, this is it.

Even though the US consistently denies having transferred ATACMS missiles directly to Ukraine, there is no denying that the ongoing missile strikes on russian high value targets in Crimea look a lot - like seriously a LOT - like ATACMS strikes

Yes, but that is very gentle mode of war from the Russian perspective. Those who decry happening as "madness" or call it "unimaginable" are either clueless (Westerners) or liars (Russians). Russian war in Ukraine is going on *extremely* soft mode. Because Ukraine has air defence ... 5: Russia is a large and strong military machine without *any* ethical or humanitarian concerns. In Syria they literally depopulated a large country. Russian public opinion ignores or endorses it. Ergo, Russia must be demilitarised to minimise the danger it poses to the world
If Ukraine didnt have significant air defense, Russia could have resorted to the same indiscriminate use of the air-force as in Syria or Chechnya. But it cant.

A Drop in Murders - The New York Times - Despite the grim headlines, 2022 is less violent so far than last year ... Nationwide, shootings are down 4 percent this year compared to the same time last year. In big cities, murders are down 3 percent. If the decrease in murders continues for the rest of 2022, it will be the first year since 2018 in which they fell in the U.S. ... Disruptions related to Covid probably led to more murders and shootings by shutting down social services, which had kept people safe, and closing schools, which left many teens idle ... In 2022, bad news bias has left many Americans thinking that violent crime is worse this year when it ultimately may not be. And this bias has skewed public perceptions of crime and violence in the past, too.

Go ask Alice, if you can find her - Lawyers, Guns & Money Like every other teenager in mid-1970s America, I read Go Ask Alice, the lurid diary of a 15-year-old girl who is swept into a world of drug abuse and (spoiler) dies of an overdose. I learned recently that the whole thing was completely fabricated by Beatrice Sparks, a 50something Mormon housewife with burning literary ambitions: Ask Alice made it to market because of talk-show host Art Linkletter. Linkletters daughter Diane, barely 21, died by suicide in 1969, and Linkletter came to think this happened because she had been taking LSD. Sparks, hearing the story, pitched him on her idea of a diary of a lost girl, and it fit his priors.It was the perfect pitch at the perfect time. It was, after all, a story Art Linkletter already believed (nothing to do with him being an abusive asshole) ... Beatrice Sparks was no more a psychologist than she was a Sasquatch, and even a lazy editor could have unraveled the lies with a single phone call ... the general pattern of fabulists fabricating narratives that resonate with and intensify whatever moral panics are coursing through the broader culture is a recurring one in recent American culture, from satanic ritual abuse in preschools in the 1980s through the current QAnon madness.

What more does Merrick Garland need? ... American democracy is on the verge of collapse because of repeated attacks by the Republican-fascists and the larger right-wing movement. Not to prosecute and punish Trump and his confederates for their acts of terrorism would mark one more big win in their war on democracy, the rule of law and the Constitution. If Merrick Garland is afraid to prosecute Donald Trump for fear of violence or some other reason, he should be asked to resign by Joe Biden and then replaced by someone who is willing to do what is necessary and required to protect American democracy and the rule of law.

Russian politician jailed for seven years for denouncing war against Ukraine : worldnews ... At the meeting of the municipal deputies, some deputy brought up a children's drawing competition. Gorinov simply said that they shouldn't organize children's competitions while there's a war going on.

The judge determined that he is guilty of 1)spreading fakes about the Russian army because he called the war a war, 2)using his political mandate to organize a crime, motivated by hatred or animosity. So Gorinov, aged 60, got sentenced to 7 years in prison ... It's hard for me to consider Russia a country anymore. Its an organized crime syndicate hiding behind borders on a map.
