[ad_1] According to US officials, the latest proposal President Donald Trump sent to Tehran included allowing Iran to downblend its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium.  Axios reported speaking with US officials who said that Trump asked for two amendments to a proposal that Tehran sent to Washington in late May. The conditions included Tehran downblending its stockpile of enriched uranium inside Iran and the removal of tolls on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.  According to the officials, Tehran did not respond to the proposal.  Trump’s proposal suggests a significant walkback from his initial demands to Iran. At the start…

[ad_1] The U.S. has led the world in several innovations in recent decades: the iPhone, Facebook, and artificial intelligence. But when it comes to sunscreen, Americans have been living in the Dark Ages compared with Europe and Asia.  That could be changing. This week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added bemotrizinol (BEMT) to its list of permitted active sunscreen ingredients, updating the list for the first time since 1999, according to National Geographic. BEMT, per the FDA, “provides protection against both ultraviolet A and B rays and has low levels of absorption through the skin into the body,” and…

[ad_1] Project Nanook, the Strategic Air Command’s mission over the Arctic in the late 1940s, revealed that the magnetic pole was moving about 10 miles per year and is accelerating exponentially. After being analyzed by the OSS and the RAND corporation, it was decided that reporting this news to the public would “destroy the moral fiber of society.” And was kept private. Charles Hapgood, the lead geoscience researcher working within the same network, produced the crustal displacement theory which argued that rapid catastrophic shifts explain how Antarctica was once temperate, how the Sahara was once green, and how mammoths were…

[ad_1] Politicians promise they’ll “help” us. President Donald Trump says he’ll “create the jobs and future you deserve.” President Joe Biden liked to say, “Help is on the way.” I prefer President Ronald Reagan’s: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.'” An economy runs best when government gets out of the way and lets free market competition work. Economist Donald Boudreaux gets that, and it’s why The Triumph of Economic Freedom is the title of his new book. Boudreaux explains in my new video: “The more we move away…

[ad_1] The Iraq War didn’t just “happen” it was sold with a storyline, staffed by specific operators, and justified by a strategy that had been circulating for years. I’m joined by Scott Horton of the Libertarian Institute to unpack the Clean Break doctrine, what it tried to achieve for Israel’s right wing security vision, and how a set of wildly wrong assumptions helped push the US into a war that ended up strengthening Iran instead of containing it. We walk through the mechanics of how the war case was built: exile sourcing, the Office of Special Plans, alternative intelligence streams,…

[ad_1] France seeks to rebrand itself as a partner of African sovereignty rather than as a custodian of neocolonialism while the living legacy of anti-colonial resistance across Africa remains a decisive force. Anthony Okello, Kenya, Orders from Above, 2012. (Via Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research) By Vijay PrashadTricontinental: Institute for Social Research On May 11-12, at the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, French President Emmanuel Macron stood in front of more than thirty African heads of state and announced, “We are the true Pan-Africanists.” This was an extraordinarily obnoxious comment that was sandwiched between bureaucratic banalities about ‘growth,’ ‘innovation,’ and ‘partnerships.’…
