The UK has been lobbying the US Congress in support of a controversial new warhead for Trident missiles, claiming it is critical for "the future of Nato as a nuclear alliance".

A letter from Britain's defence secretary, Ben Wallace, seen by the Guardian, urged Congress to support initial spending on the warhead, the W93.

The letter, sent in April but not previously reported, draws the UK into a US political debate, pitting the Trump administration against many Democrats and arms control groups over whether the the $14bn W93 programme is necessary. The US navy already has two warheads to choose from for its submarine-launched Trident missiles.

The close cooperation on the W93 casts further doubt on the genuine independence of the UK deterrent - parliament first heard about it when US officials accidentally disclosed Britain's involvement in February - and the commitment of both countries to disarmament.

Fauci attacks church choirs, implies worship is less important than protests

Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in June said churches should consider suspending their choir if located in an area with a high infection rate. On Friday, Fauci refused to say whether large protests should also be suspended.

"My recommendation still holds that the choirs should refrain from singing. When you sing and you project your voice, the aerosols of the virus come out," he said, contradicting Centers for Disease Control recommendations on socially distanced worship.


According to Newsy, the CDC also first wrote on their website that faith communities should "consider suspending or at least decrease the use of choir/musical ensembles, congregant singing, chanting or reciting during services..." Those initial recommendations then disappeared from the website overnight without an explanation. Fauci stood by the recommendation.

Best of the Web: Seattle's Bolshevik Revolution

Bolshevik Revolution
Here's a question for you: When a young man dressed entirely in black, uses a racial justice protest to conceal himself so he can break windows, incinerate retail shops and cafes, pelt cops with bottles, rocks and fireworks, and spread mayhem across the city, what is the political message he is trying to send?
  1. He is honoring the death of George Floyd
  2. He is expressing his support for racial justice
  3. He is attacking the system that protects ordinary people from criminal violence
  4. He is a paid agitator funded by liberal organizations that seek to intensify social unrest for their own political objectives
If you chose 3 or 4, you're probably right, there are undoubtedly paid agitators operating on behalf of wealthy outsiders, just as there are many "true believers" who see the riots as a springboard for a broader revolt that will topple the existing system. In other words, there are competing agendas at play in these violent outbursts. The least likely answer is Number 1, that "He is honoring the death of George Floyd." The riots have nothing to do with George Floyd, he's merely the fig leaf that hides the true motives of the perpetrators.

Isn't it odd that - after 60 days of protests and riot - the media has never once asked what these activists want, what their actions mean or who they are?

Families sitting down to watch the evening news might soon have to wear face masks, if the advice of the White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Deborah Birx is turned into a rule, as America's disjointed war on Covid-19 continues.

With cases of coronavirus beginning to tick upwards across the US, Dr. Deborah Birx told CNN on Sunday that the country is entering a new phase in its fight against the disease.

"What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread. It's into the rural as equal urban areas," Birx, told 'State of the Union' host Dana Bash, before suggesting that Americans take even more extreme precautions against the virus.

"If you're in multi-generational households, and there's an outbreak in your rural area or in your city, you need to really consider wearing a mask at home," she said, citing the threat to the elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions.

Best of the Web: 'Rogue SAS Afghanistan execution squad' exposed by email trail

Incendiary documentary evidence has emerged in a British court in which allegations are made about a "rogue" SAS unit accused of executing civilians in Afghanistan.

The evidence had been withheld from earlier proceedings of the legal case, prompting a judge to demand a full explanation from Ben Wallace, the defence secretary.

The cache of emails, notes and reports from inside the SAS — the like of which has never been seen before — reveal that special forces commanders were highly concerned about the killing of more than 33 people in the space of three months during night raids on their homes.

There was a particular pattern in which men were captured and then killed when the SAS sent them back into their houses at gunpoint. The Sunday Times has pieced together the disturbing evidence, which raises serious questions about whether war crimes have been covered up.

It is a trail that begins in the dead of night.

Comment: There was nothing 'rogue' about them. They were a death squad; their job was to terrorize people and keep the war going. This was 'unofficial-but-secretly-official' British (and thus NATO, American, and Western) military policy.

Military-industrial enterprises of Germany and France are looking for ways to phase out dependence on US technologies in the production of military equipment, including for data protection, according to the German publication Welt am Sonntag.

According to the publication, the companies want to gain independence in the production of several weapons systems, including helicopters, a new assault rifle for the German Armed Forces and a fighter under the pan-European Future Combat Air System program.

At the same time, the enterprises are not satisfied with the fact that, in accordance with the US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the United States retains the ability to control equipment produced using US technologies and, if necessary, restrict exports, Welt am Sonntag reported.

Plandemic propaganda: NY Times implies outings to the beach or the park are to blame for Covid-19's spread

The New York Times splashed three big pictures across its Sunday frontpage to illustrate an article on the resurgence of Covid-19 in the US. It would have been tough to get the scenes more wrong if one were trying to do so.

All three photos showed relatively low-risk activities, including families playing on a beach in Florida, children at a park in Georgia and people watching a drive-in movie from their cars in Texas. None showed a crowded bar or a nursing home. None showed crowds of strangers packed together, like commonly seen at a Black Lives Matter protest.

Ironically, the Times had another article Sunday suggesting that riding the subway isn't a high-risk activity for the spread of coronavirus.

Comment: Not for nothing are the discerning calling this propaganda op the Plandemic:

Tides is the tip of the anti-police spear

To discover who is leading — and financing — the war on America's police, look no further than the Tides Center.

We recently broke the story that the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation — the leading group in the radical, Marxist-led movement that has inspired waves of riots and demands that cities "defund the police" — transferred ownership from its fiscal sponsor Thousand Currents to the Tides Center, effectively confirming that this "spontaneous" movement is controlled by professional left-wing activists.

This also makes the leading group of Black Lives Matter (BLM) just one more face in the $636 million "dark money" web known as the Tides Nexus, already infamous for sponsoring the creation of new activist groups in a process called "incubation."

Tides Anti-Police Projects

But BLM and its "defund the police" slogan is far from the only campaign Tides has launched against American law enforcement. The Tides Center's 501(c)(4) lobbying "sister," Tides Advocacy, runs the Fund for Fair and Just Policing — a leading group in the campaign to overturn the "stop and frisk" policy enacted by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (D) in the early 2000s.

Comment: Many still suppose that 'we the people' are in command of our destiny while nothing could be farther from the truth. The layering of social complexity archeology runs long and deep. Knowledge of it and its significance are rarely probed by the average 'follower'. Tides, and all its variations, appears to fit this profile.
