A Stealth Industry: The Quiet Expansion of Chinese Private Security Companies

While mercenaries have long played a role in warfare, the prevalence of private companies in modern combat has grown more pronounced than ever. Private military companies (PMCs) and private security companies (PSCs) provide policymakers with attractive ways to project power, including low-profile alternatives to uniformed military deployment and significant cost savings. Moreover, in the current era of strategic competition among the United States, China, and Russia, the struggle for influence is playing out deliberately at a level below the threshold of armed conflict, and such companies are a useful instrument to expand regional and global influence and to create new dilemmas for competitors.

Are Mainstream Media Destroying The Conservative Party Of Canada?

“With this one astonishing claim, Erin O’Toole let us all down.”

Such goes the bi-line from an article in the Toronto Star. In case readers are not aware, the Toronto Star hates Erin O’Toole. What his claim is doesn’t matter, nor does the fact that he didn’t let all Canadians down.

What really matters is that media battering ram TorStar despise the Conservative Party, as well as “small-c” conservatives in general. The same applies to all mainstream media outlets in our country.

North Carolina spends millions on Critical Race Theory program for disabled preschoolers

Even in states with Republican legislatures, the educational establishment is strongly progressive, and sympathetic to critical race theory and “white privilege” training. North Carolina, which has a Democratic governor, is spending millions on Critical Race Theory, even though that annoys many members of North Carolina’s Republican-controlled legislature.

There’s only one reason why Hillary would think about running again

For all the conservatives who are hand-wringing over the seemingly slow pace of the Durham investigation, there is one person who knows exactly what the special counsel is up to and whom he’s closing in on: Hillary Rodham Clinton, and it appears she doesn’t like what’s coming.

Dark Thoughts from the Wife of Dr. Doom

The NIH bioethics boss, a specialist in “human subjects” research, explains it all for you.

“This book was written by the author in her private capacity. Opinions expressed are her own. No official support or endorsement by the NINR [National Institute of Nursing Research] the NIH [National Institutes of Health] or other agencies is intended or should be inferred regarding the views presented here.”

Those are the first words a reader encounters in The Search for an AIDS Vaccine: Ethical Issues in the Development and Testing of a Preventative HIV Vaccine, by Christine Grady, from Indiana University Press back in 1995. In the acknowledgments, doubts begin to rise.

Hollywood stars back Emma Watson after Palestinian solidarity post

Major figures from the world of film, including Susan Sarandon, Mark Ruffalo, Peter Capaldi and Charles Dance have issued a statement in support of Emma Watson and Palestinian solidarity.

Last week, Watson, best known for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise, was accused of antisemitism after she posted an image on Instagram showing a photograph of a pro-Palestinian protest with the banner “solidarity is a verb” written across it. It was accompanied with a quote about the meaning of solidarity from the intersectional feminist scholar Sara Ahmed.

Why did scientists suppress the lab-leak theory?

In private, they said it was plausible. In public, they called it a conspiracy theory.

In August 2007 there was an outbreak of foot-and-mouth virus on a farm in Surrey. It was a few miles from the world’s leading reference laboratory for identifying outbreaks of foot and mouth. Nobody thought this was a coincidence and sure enough a leaking pipe at the laboratory was soon found to be the source: a drainage contractor had worked at the lab and then at the farm.

Apocalypse now

I CAN neither sleep at night nor concentrate on my work by day for the sound of right-thinking people stamping their feet and shouting their protests: ‘This has to stop!’ or ‘Something must be done about that!’

But it won’t be.

It’s not as if we live in fear of a revolution. The revolution has happened, and the old order is vanquished; all our institutions are permeated by the neo-Marxist ideology. The new dogmas are set in stone.

Russia, at an Impasse With the West, Warns It Is Ready to Abandon Diplomacy

VIENNA — Russian officials signaled that they could abandon diplomatic efforts to resolve the security crisis surrounding Ukraine, bringing a whirlwind week of European diplomacy to an ominous end and deflating hopes that negotiators could forge a path toward easing tensions in Eastern Europe.

One senior Russian diplomat said that talks with the West were approaching a “dead end,” while another said the Kremlin would wait until it receives written responses next week to its demands from Washington and from NATO before deciding how to proceed.

It was clear that Russia’s next move would be up to President Vladimir V. Putin, who, his spokesman said on Thursday, was being briefed regularly this week on negotiations with the West.

Thou shalt not criticize Black Lives Matter

Criticizing Black Lives Matter can get you fired. There is no need for a Gulag today to enforce conformity.

When Konstantin Eggert, former deputy editor of the Russian newspaper Izvestia and radio Kommersant, correspondent of the BBC from Moscow and columnist of the Financial Times, resigned from the famous think tank Chatham House in London for its having awarded an award to Melina Abdullah, founder of Black Lives Matter, he did it with a spectacular letter-testimony. “There is no need for a Gulag today to enforce conformity,” Eggert wrote.

An academic at Mount Royal University in Canada knows something about this.
