The question of SETI and Extraterrestrial Intelligence has now been debated at length for more than fifty years. Are there other intelligent civilizations in our galaxy, and elsewhere? If so, is it possible to communicate with them? Can they possibly even send spacecraft here? The controversy rages on.Jonathan H. JiangA team of scientists working under a NASA contract at Jet Propulsion Laboratory has written a paper that is very pessimistic for SETI. A group of five researchers led by Jonathan H. Jiang of NASA’s JPL have written a paper (which is not yet peeer-reviewed), “Avoiding the “Great Filter”: Extraterrestrial Life…

ScheerPost Staff As Washington scrambles to reframe a disastrous war as “diplomacy,” a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran has opened the door to negotiations that may already be collapsing under their own contradictions. In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, Hedges speaks with former British diplomat Alastair Crooke, who lays out a stark reality: these…
On February 24, 2026, Donald Trump, the president of the United States now in the second year of his second term, entered the United States Congress on Capitol Hill and delivered what Ronald Reagan’s favorite speechwriter called “the Oprah State of the Union”: an entertainment opportunity with “tears, cheers” and “spectacle,” where “they handed out medals and honors like Oprah in the early 2000s: ‘You get a car! Everybody gets a car!’” There, broadcast live from the Capitol, were the signatures of the Trump era compressed into a single speech: the controversies (immigration, transgenderism); the emotionalism (the bereaved guests, the…

Increasingly, he is also short of reason, zapped by geopolitical addling and meddling. Now that US President Donald J. Trump has reached an uneasy understanding with Teheran that a two-week ceasefire should apply to the warring parties (Israel, as usual, has its own elastic interpretation as it continues attacking Lebanon), it is worth considering the warring language he has been using since February 28.

If you’ve given even passing attention to current events, you know that the Strait of Hormuz is a key passageway for crude oil shipments. And you know that Iran blocking the strait in response to U.S. and Israel bombings has, in the words of the International Energy Agency, created “the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market.” But did you know that the U.S. depends on many other commodities that pass through the strait? From fertilizer to aluminum to helium, Americans could feel the effects of the war through higher prices and reduced economic growth beyond…
President Donald Trump is threatening Greenland again. “REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!” he wrote in a social media rant about European allies’ failure to join his war on Iran. Earlier this year, Trump had made such intense threats to annex the island that Denmark, its owner, deployed troops with live ammunition, emergency blood supplies, and orders to blow up the airports in case of a U.S. invasion. “It is our task to ensure that [Trump’s ambitions] are not realized,” Denmark’s Acting Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen told Danish television in response to a question about Greenland.…

The fuse has been lit. We’re still in the burning down phase. But the bomb will go off. First off, there is still nothing moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, just two tankers…
