Russia's New ' Nuclear Torpedo ' Can Create Giant Tsunamis And Wipe Out Entire Coastal Cities
Posted on November 18, 2015 Author Michael Snyder 1
While the eyes of the world are on ISIS, Russia is creating weapons unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Plans for a giant self-propelled nuclear torpedo that can create a giant tsunami more than 1,000 feet tall were recently "leaked by mistake" by the Russian media. Apparently the warheads on these torpedos are designed to create so much radiation "that everything living will be killed" – including those that try to survive the attack by hiding in underground shelters.
These "robotic mini-submarines" would have a range of up to 10,000 kilometers and would be able to evade all existing U.S. detection systems. To say that such a weapon would be a "game changer" would be a massive understatement.
I know that you are not just going to take my word for any of this. So like I do in all of my articles, I am going to carefully document what I am saying.
The reason why we know about the plans for this new nuclear torpedo is because they were displayed on Russian state television for a few moments during a recent broadcast. According to Russian officials, this was an "accident". The following comes from a report in the Independent…
Secret plans for a new Russian nuclear torpedo system have been shown on state-controlled television in what the Kremlin said was an accident.
A close-up of a confidential document detailing "Ocean Multipurpose System: Status-6" was broadcast for several seconds by Channel One Russia and NTV during coverage of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and military officials.
Could it be possible that this "accident" happened on purpose?
Could it be possible that it was intended as a warning for the Obama administration?
But without a doubt, this is the kind of weapon that would keep military planners up at night. According to RT, this new nuclear torpedo is designed to create "extensive zones of radioactive contamination" that would ensure that no "military, economic, business or other activity" would occur in that area for a very long time…
The presentation slide titled "Ocean Multipurpose System: Status-6" showed some drawings of a new nuclear submarine weapons system. It is apparently designed to bypass NATO radars and any existing missile defense systems, while also causing heavy damage to "important economic facilities" along the enemy's coastal regions.
The footnote to the slide stated that Status-6 is intended to cause "assured unacceptable damage" to an adversary force. Its detonation "in the area of the enemy coast" would result in "extensive zones of radioactive contamination" that would ensure that the region would not be used for "military, economic, business or other activity" for a "long time."
In addition, Konstantin Sivkov of the Russian Geopolitical Academy told the BBC that this kind of weapon could be used to create a tsunami more than 1,000 feet high…
"A warhead of up to 100 megatons could produce a tsunami up to 500m (1,650ft) high, wiping out all living things 1,500km (930 miles) deep inside US territory"
As I have written about previously, a whopping 39 percent of all Americans live in counties that directly border a shoreline. The detonation of just a handful of these weapons could wipe out the entire east coast and kill off a very substantial percentage of the U.S. population.
On top of all that, the BBC is reporting that a state-run Russian publication is suggesting that these new torpedos are being fitted with extremely radioactive cobalt warheads…
According to state-run Rossiiskaya Gazeta, the destructive power attributed to the new torpedo's warhead would fit the description of a cobalt bomb.
That would be a type of thermonuclear warhead with a layer of cobalt-59, which on detonation would be transmuted into highly radioactive cobalt-60 with a half-life longer than five years.
Such a weapon would guarantee "that everything living will be killed", the paper said – there would not even be any survivors in bunkers.
A cobalt bomb has never been tested because of the devastating radiation it would unleash.
Worst of all, we would have no advance warning that these torpedos were coming. They can be launched from anywhere, they reportedly have a range of up to 10,000 kilometers, and they are designed to "avoid all acoustic tracking devices and other traps"…
On the diagram the giant torpedo's range is given as "up to 10,000km" (6,200 miles) and depth of trajectory is "up to 1,000m" (3,300ft).
It was developed by Rubin, a submarine design bureau in St Petersburg.
It would, apparently, be launched by nuclear-powered submarines of the 09852 "Belgorod" and 09851 "Khabarovsk" series.
Rossiiskaya Gazeta called the torpedo a "robotic mini-submarine", travelling at 100 knots (185km/h; 115mph), which would "avoid all acoustic tracking devices and other traps".
We already know that Russia has been building "black hole submarines" that NATO officials admit are undetectable.
So Russia already has the capability to approach our coastlines without us even knowing about it.
But these new nuclear torpedos take the game to an entirely new level.
And of course this is not the only new weapons system that Russia has been developing in anticipation of World War III. Earlier this year, I discussed several more in an article entitled "The Next-Generation Weapons That Russia Will Use Against The United States In World War III".
Sadly, the Obama administration seems almost totally oblivious to this threat. Our strategic nuclear forces are so outdated that floppy disks and rotary phones are still being used, and Barack Obama is fond of saying that "the Cold War's been over for 20 years".
Unfortunately for us, the Russians do not see things the same way. Anti-American sentiment inside Russia is at an all-time high, and every time the U.S. interferes in Syria or Ukraine the Russians get even angrier.
Just like we do, there are "talking heads" on Russian television that tell people what to think. And many of these "talking heads" on Russian television are openly talking about how war with the United States is inevitable. These days, the Russians consider themselves to be the great force for good in the world, and they consider America to be the great force for evil in the world. In fact, one of their most popular talking heads named Alexander Dugin has publicly called the U.S. the "kingdom of the Antichrist".
And even though the Russian economy has dipped into recession, the Russians continue to feverishly prepare for war. This year alone, Russian military spending is up 33 percent.
Yes, ISIS is a far greater threat than most Americans would even dare to imagine as I discussed yesterday. In the times to come, I fully expect to see terror attacks inside this country unlike anything we have ever seen before.
But I am completely convinced that the greater long-term strategic threat is Russia.
The Russians are feverishly preparing for World War III while Barack Obama acts like it could never possibly happen.
Hopefully Obama is right, because if he is wrong the consequences for this nation will be absolutely unthinkable.

Certification of skills as "freedom of action"
Giorgio Riello
In the current debate on European policies in the field of employment the concept of flexicurity plays a predominant role as a form of balance between the need for flexibility of employers and the need for safety of workers.
Certification of skills is part of the active policies that favour processes
of flexicurity. However, the active policies should not only be understood as a simple type of compensatory social protection for a flexible labour force, but also aimed at supporting the empowerment and capabilities of the subject.

Guardian Misplaces Blame for Deforestation Problem on Hispaniola
The film "Death By A Thousand Cuts" will premiere on the 1st of October at the Raindance Film Festival in London. I've been waiting to see some of the positions of the film's directors.
I happened to glance in a recently published article by the Guardian what this non Dominican makes of all of this. I'm particularly over-protective when non-Dominicans create content like a film and control our narrative, especially with all the defamation we face. In the first paragraph of the Guardian's article you find the word "xenophobia," which is always used against Dominicans.
The article goes on to speak about how the two nations have managed their natural resources, and so on. The deforestation images from the border go back to the 80's. The Dominican Republic has protected its forests very well. Satellite images show one very green side to the Island, while the other side looks desolate.
I think something Mr. Jake Kheel said was interesting. He said that "inequality" of resources was creating violent conflicts. Keyword "inequality," which to some may hint at unfair, and of course racial undertones.
However, is this inequality the fault of the Dominicans? No, it is not! A lot of regular folks and those in the media seem to feel that the Dominicans are responsible for Haiti's current problems. The DR is not the global scapegoat for whatever happened after the 2010 earthquake, or before it.
However, some people will have it no other way, even at the expense of poor Dominicans, who already have enough problems with which to contend.
The article then goes on to quote an NGO leader who alleges that racial patriotism is the cause of the tensions on the border, saying that Dominicans see themselves as Spanish and White, while the Haitians are seen as black, French and are associated with voodoo. She also said, in not so many words, that the Dominican ruling elite keep this rhetoric alive.
However, I beg to differ on this... patriotism is not the cause of deforestation in Haiti: negligence and misuse of natural resources is. As more and more Haitians come to the other side of the island, it is logical that Dominicans will have their guard up, because, as Mr. Kheel said, this inequality brings violence.
After slavery was abolished in the US, former slavers came in to do business, with several American companies importing a massive number of black workers from the West Indies to work the sugar plantations.
Dominicans weren't hired in their own country because of cheap foreign labor. And this was at the inception of the small nation. You see how capitalism works? The new hustle is deforestation of the other side of the island. All of this going on while the country is being inundated with illegal immigration. Mr. Kheel said he would like to see "bi-national" action stopping the problem. However, this feels like more of the fusionist agenda to me. It reeks of "justify and blame."
There's no accountability, it sounds more like Its all the Dominicans' fault. Hopefully, the film isn't as bad as the Guardian quotes.

« Weakness, too, is divine | Articles on Israel | Autonomy and Jewishness »
posted in military matters
Arabs: jail or gallows?
Among the US Marine Corps' many slogans is this: There is no encirclement, but there are situations in which you can shoot in any direction. This logic also applies to Israeli prisoner releases, which cannot be even called exchanges.
Sure, the Shalit release is the most heinous of them all. Not because of the sheer number of terrorists released—there had been larger exchanges. And not because murderers are being released—previous governments have released Palestinian murderers too, and criminal law recognizes little difference between murderers and those who failed at carrying out a murder. The real difference lies in the number of high-profile terrorists released, Israel's conscious choice to inject them into the Palestinian political process to the detriment of moderates, and Israeli hypocrisy in hiding that outrageous fact by demanding their exile, which would be short-lived in any case.
Chief of staff Ashkenazi, really a simple-minded soldier appointed by the political elite for that very reason, blindly adhered to the army's dogma of leaving no soldier or corpse thereof behind. Like most slogans, this one sounds great, but its application to real life is dreadful. Soldiers die or risk their lives in suicidally risky missions. A country which sends its soldiers to their likely deaths has obviously washed its hands regarding any particular soldier. It is immoral but nonetheless true that soldiers have obligations to society, but not vice versa. If anything, the society must assure its soldiers that the lethal risks they take are not in vain. That guarantee fully applies to the tens of thousands of soldiers and policemen who detained the terrorists who will be exchanged for Shalit. A legalistic society shows its low regard for soldiers when it sends them to detain known terrorists instead of bombing their nests, which would be safer for Israelis. The ideal of leaving no man behind does not square with IDF's practice of endangering them for political reasons. Now, if soldiers are constantly endangered and sacrificed for political reasons, then that policy must apply to all of them equally. Ashkenazi himself would consider successful an operation in which we detained several terrorists of the highest standing and hundreds of trash-prisoners at the cost of only one Israeli soldier lost. So why not lose Shalit now and keep the terrorists jailed?
Ok, Ashkenazi simple-mindedly clings to a slogan, but what about politically astute Barak and Netanyahu: why do they accede to the exchange? They know that the deal is really about a few valued prisoners, the others being on the list only to mislead Israeli and Palestinian public opinion. Israelis, presumably, will react less negatively if the release of high-profile terrorists is watered down by hundreds of minor security prisoners. Palestinians will be happy to see hundreds of their own released; in a society of extended families, the return of a thousand prisoners would make a hundred thousand of their relatives happy. In the best-case scenario we would expect a devilish Israeli plan to undermine Palestinian moderates and stall the peace process. That is not the case. Nor is it about justice for Shalit as an Israeli citizen, for justice is thus denied to the victims' families, who are no less citizens than Shalit's. Looking at Colonel Klein and other Israelis arrested abroad on semiofficial business, the government is not concerned about its kidnapped subjects. The case is not about connections, either. Shalit's family is well connected, but so are the families of the Park Hotel victims whose murderer is prominent on the exchange list.
The government is not concerned with a soldier's life: indeed it would be more convenient for everyone concerned if that corporal had the guts to commit suicide. By now he would have been forgotten, just like his comrades who were killed in the same ambush. Nor is Shalit of any practical importance to the army, as was Tannenbaum, who was privy to one of our most important military secrets.
For the answer look at the most prominent terrorist ever released—Arafat. Technically, Israelis started talking to him after he agreed to renounce terrorism. In practice there were many indirect contacts before Oslo, and after Oslo Arafat continued to support terrorists. Israel has supported many terrorists besides Arafat. I'm not referring to Israel nurturing Hamas in a shortsighted attempt to set it up against Fatah. Quite simply, the terrorists were on Arafat's payroll but the payroll had been financed by milking Israeli consumers via the infamous tax transfers. Back to the point, Israel didn't put Arafat the arch-terrorist in jail, though our tanks were stationed meters from his bunker for years.
A similar attitude pervades Israeli relations with other terrorist leaders. Decades ago, Hamas and Hezbollah leaders used to hide from us. Not anymore. They travel officially as do Ahmadinajead and Rafsanjani, whose planes could and should be shot down. At the apogee of infamy, Israel allowed two thousand known terrorists to attend a conference in Bethlehem – and missed the chance to bomb them all. What indeed is the point of keeping thousands of easily replaceable rank and file terrorists in jail while the top dogs remain free?
The Israeli government is so immersed in negotiations and business dealings with Palestinians that it has stopped regarding them as enemies. It treats this war of religions as a matter of police enforcement against criminals. Naturally, criminals are lowly folks. Leaders just cannot be criminals. Criminal enforcement must be prosecuted cautiously. Thus the Israeli refusal to worsen the prison terms for jailed terrorists. They claim there would be an international outcry. Nonsense. Only fringe leftist groups would mar their reputations by defending jailed terrorists, and those groups have no shortage of reasons for lambasting Israel regardless of the conditions in her jails. Besides, Israel can worsen the terms while remaining well within the internationally prescribed limits, even though no other country adheres to them. There is no prisoner's right to satellite TV, cellular phones, and pocket money at taxpayers' expense. The real reason the government keeps jail conditions so resort-like, better for Arab terrorists than Jewish criminals, is that it strives to emphasize that Palestinians are mere criminals—indeed especially protected foreign criminals—rather than enemies who would deserve the harshest treatment. For if Palestinians are principled enemies, then what is the basis for diplomacy and internationally popular peace efforts?
And here we come to the Marines' motto. This war cannot be prosecuted in police terms, with arrests, court justice, term sentences, and releases. It is futile to distinguish between murderers, would-be murderers, logistical supporters, and masterminds. They are not criminals of varying degrees. In fact they are not criminals at all, but respectable enemy soldiers who must be killed by whatever means available. In refusing to release Israeli Arab terrorists along with their Palestinian counterparts the government reiterated the point that while other Palestinian terrorists are criminals (thus jailed rather than interned), the Israeli Arab terrorists are all the more criminal and cannot be treated to the military privilege of prisoner exchange.
All of them are good Arabs. All of them detest their Jewish benefactors the way Maccabean Jews detested our Greek benefactors. And the Torah says that all of them must be killed.

Cambridge City Centre
Police officers in Cambridge handed keys to city loos - to target drug users
Officers are now armed with the keys to the city's public loos to tackle street drinking, drug-taking and troublemakers
The scene of the toilets on Mill Road in Cambridge.
Police in Cambridge have been given the keys to the city – toilets.
Officers are now armed with the keys to the city's public loos in a bid to tackle street drinking, drug-taking and troublemakers.
Drug turf war violence in Cambridge tackled by 'mapping' as 'people afraid to go out'
They are now also using dispersal notices, body-worn cameras and CCTV as well as upping patrols at hotspots.
Officers have set out in a report to the city council's east area committee how they are targeting street-drinking and alcohol-related anti-social behaviour in and around Mill Road.
Is rise in discarded drug needles linked to rise in Cambridge rough sleepers?
Sgt Ian Wood, of Cambridgeshire police, said: "We continue to conduct enhanced visible patrols in the areas known for drug use, in a bid to disrupt and deter this activity. Recent examples have been Mill Road cemetery, Coleridge recreation ground and various public toilets across the east of the city.
"We make good use of our partner agency contacts to ensure any drug paraphernalia is cleared promptly, and officers now have keys to gain entry to the majority of most public toilets across the city. We are also able to make use of re-deployable CCTV cameras as and when appropriate."

He added: "We continue to conduct high visibility patrols in key anti-social behaviour (ASB) hotspots, in a bid to disrupt and deter crime and anti-social behaviour. Officers now routinely patrol with body-worn video cameras and are expected to obtain details of any ASB perpetrators (if they are unfamiliar with them), so we can keep up-to-date with this transient community.
"Dispersal notices are being routinely issued (where appropriate), and summons files for begging offences are submitted on a regular basis. Our information sharing protocol with the council's safer communities team is much improved and we continue to work together to address the most problematic nominals.
"Furthermore, licenced premises' checks take place on a regular basis and any under-performing venues are managed on the Cardiff model (a traffic-light system which documents how licensed premises should be responsibly managing the sale of alcohol)."
Is 'affordable housing' term meaningless?
To report any anti-social behaviour call police on 101.
Over 200 homes will be built in village outside Cambridge as planners give all-clear

The Five Most Important Things to Know About the Laws Governing the Supply Chain: Part II
regulations and compliance Supply Chain

The Legal Significance of a Bill of Lading
The term bill of lading means "a list of the cargo." While often thought of as a shipping document, it is also very much a legal document.
One of the two primary functions of a bill of lading is to serve as a receipt for the goods physically tendered to a carrier for transportation. While a bill of lading (or airbill or similar document) is generally prepared by the consignor, it is always issued by the carrier — typically when the driver picking up the goods signs the bill of lading. As with any other receipt, its purpose is to provide evidence as to what goods were given to the carrier and comes into play when all or a portion of the goods fail to arrive at destination.
The other function of a bill of lading is to serve as the contract for carriage, that is, the business terms and conditions that will govern the shipment… unless superseded by an individually negotiated contract entered into between a carrier and its customer. Although a bill of lading contains very few words with legal import, these words incorporate by reference all of the carriers' terms and conditions, which can be hundreds of pages in length. Moreover, the carriers' publications may themselves refer to additional publications such as the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC).
As an example, a current FedEx "Airbill" states "By using this Airbill you agree to the service conditions on the back of this Airbill and in the current FedEx Service Guide, including terms that limit our liability."
Similarly, a UPS "Shipping Document" states "All shipment are subject to the terms contained in the UPS Tariff/Terms and Conditions of Service, which are available at ups.com and local UPS offices."
The Distinction Between A Carrier's Liability For Damage to Cargo, Cargo Liability Insurance, and Cargo Insurance.
As discussed in Part I, carriers are responsible for loss and damage to the goods they are transporting. However, regardless of the transportation mode, there are almost always limits and exceptions to the carriers' liability. Some exceptions, such as damage caused by an act of God, arise from laws or legal rulings. Other limits are set by the carrier, for instance, a maximum of $100 per package.
While most carriers will have cargo liability insurance, it is critical for a shipper to know that liability insurance will only pay out if the carrier is liable. Thus, if the carrier is not liable due to a defense such as an act of God or valid limit of liability in a carrier's tariff, there is no coverage under a cargo liability policy because, simply put, the carrier is not liable.
In contrast to this is what is known as a shipper's interest cargo policy. Although there will be exclusions or exceptions, the coverages of these policies are not fault based. Accordingly, many shippers will purchase their own cargo insurance (not cargo liability insurance) as a way of protecting themselves in the event that they are unable to recover from the carrier.
Time Limits, Time Limits, Time Limits
There are various time limits that are unique to the transportation industry. It is very important for a transportation professional to familiarize themselves with the time limits that could apply to their shipments and the carriers they use. Failure to know an applicable time limit, and thus miss the time limit, will result in the loss of a substantial financial right.
With respect to freight charges, there are time limits relating to claims for both the recovery of charges by a carrier and the recovery of overpayments made by a shipper to a carrier.
With respect to claims for loss and damage to cargo, there is generally a two step approach.
First, notice must be given by a shipper to a carrier of a claim within a certain period of time, and then, if not resolved, another time limit for the shipper to start a lawsuit.
Time limits for loss and damage claims vary by the mode of transportation. In some instances, such as for regulated motor carriers, the minimum time limits are prescribed by federal statute. For international air and ocean carriers, the time limits are set by international treaty. In addition, there are a host of unregulated service providers that set their own time limits and then publish them in a tariff.

Neo-Luddism in the digital age: registers, quitters, destroyers and visionaries against contemporary technologies
4 May 2022 12:30 - 14:00 Online/CRASSH Meeting Room
These seminars were a wonderful way to feel anchored in the institutional life of CRASSH
– Dr Mary Augusta Brazelton, Early Career Fellow, Easter Term 2021
This event is part of the CRASSH fellows work-in-progress seminar series. All are welcome but please register to book your place and to request readings.
Dr Ella McPherson
The original Luddites were a 19th century British workers movement, often misunderstood as against technology in general, but actually against how the control and effects of technology were developing at the time (Noble 1995). Aesthetically, this was a playful and subversive working class movement searching for an alternative vision of technology in society (Jones 2006). Like-minded movements and individuals are again relevant in the 21st century, yet the academy knows little about them, in part because they are often dismissed as 'not with the times'.
My project addresses this gap by approaching neo-Luddism in the digital age from within and without the technology sector across three empirical sites. The first site is the corporate technology sector, where I will investigate how the relationship between so-called 'laggards' or 'phobics' and profitability is understood, taking a decolonial lens to shed light on the links between digitalisation and modernisation. The second site is people within the corporate technology sector working against the orthodox model of expansionist corporate control. Conceptually, this strand is concerned with investigating ambivalence sociologically, namely unpacking the experience and consequences of conflicting emotions about technology driven by groups' positions within conflicting normative frameworks – techno-solutionism and techno-pessimism, in this case (Merton 1976). The third research strand focuses on people outside of the technology sector, from individuals who never joined social media or purchased a smartphone to community-based development projects. Conceptually, this dimension is focused on intersectionality, in terms of understanding how the beliefs, values and practices of these groups relate to various axes of power and exclusion.
I'm Associate Professor in the Sociology of New Media and Digital Technology at the Department of Sociology, where my research focuses on symbolic struggles surrounding the media in times of transition, whether democratic or digital. I am particularly interested in the implication of these struggles for, on the one hand, the formation, evaluation and contestation of truth-claims and, on the other, the individual and collective pursuit of good lives. My most recent research project is an ethnographic study of human rights fact-finding in the digital age, focusing on networks of human rights practitioners, humanitarians, technologists, journalists and scholars who collaborate on working with digital evidence. This research engages with the sociologies of knowledge, media/technology and human rights to examine what implications our practices and discourses to combat digital fakery – and who constructs and deploys them – have for democracy.
In my research and teaching, I am profoundly concerned with the normative frameworks of technologies, their designers and their users, as well as with the ethics of new forms of knowledge generation, such as social media research and big data. Underpinning this is my own normative concern with self-determination and pluralism in our societies, whether epistemological or with respect to access to solidarity and justice. My previous research project, an ethnography on the human rights beat at Mexican newspapers, identified the contest for public credibility between state, media, and human rights actors as a significant driver of human rights coverage, and particularly of who gets to be seen and heard, and on whose terms.
As co-director of Cambridge's Centre of Governance and Human Rights, I support and engage in praxis research, including by leading The Whistle, an academic start-up focusing on supporting movements and organisations pushing for social change with digital evidence. As part of this, I collaborate with Dr Mónica Moreno Figueroa on the End Everyday Racism project, which maps the experiences of everyday racism.

Jan. 6 musn't kill the dream we all once shared
Note: This is the opinion of the writer and not necessarily of the Kentucky New Era. Let the community know your opinion about this topic and others by submitting a "Letter to the editor."
Where were you when the Capitol was attacked? My answer: glued to the television, with eyes wide and mouth open.
How could this possibly be happening in our country, I asked myself as I watched horrified and dumbfounded. I'm sure millions of others were asking the same question. The idea that a sitting president would deny his opponent's election victory and encourage his own supporters to stop the vote-certification process was beyond imagining, except to those ramming the doors, assaulting the cops, breaking the windows and running down hallways, taunting lawmakers and staff with threats of violence.
They looked — and acted — like animals. Who were these beasts — and how dare they?
To the list of infamous days, from Pearl Harbor to 9/11, we now have Jan. 6 — or J6, as right-wing activists have dubbed the insurrection.
Turns out the majority of those arrested and charged were what might be called regular folks, who weren't part of an organized wing-nut cult. Some of those groups, such as the Proud Boys and neo-Nazis, were represented to be sure. But studies have shown that most of those charged or arrested were plain-old, unaffiliated, random Americans.
And look what happened. And what might have happened if the really bad guys had shown up? My guess is there are some pro-Trump, anti-government folks out there who are sorry they missed the events that day. FOMO — fear of missing out — is not limited to the younger generation. That another uprising could occur thus seems not beyond the realm of possibilities. And though the Capitol Police Department says it's prepared this time, it also reports threat levels that are "exponentially higher" than last year.
I believe Trump had for a time planned to insert himself into the anniversary. But earlier this week he canceled his Jan. 6 news conference in Palm Beach, Fla., and said he would instead hold a rally in Arizona on Jan 15. There, he will likely continue his contention that he actually won the 2020 election. He didn't, as courts, counters and capable election officials have supposedly confirmed.
We all know enough about mobs and combustible crowds to understand that it takes only one impatient troublemaker to turn a normal customer waiting line into a stampede or a peaceful gathering into a mob. Something clicks in one person's brain, a shout goes out, a fever sets in, and the barbarians storm the gates.
Once contagion catches, there's almost no turning back. At a certain point, even the angry become afraid, stimulating their fight or flight response and flooding all systems with adrenaline. Five people died as a result of Jan. 6, not counting the four officers who subsequently died by suicide. I think we all know we were lucky the number wasn't higher.
Not so long ago, Americans shared a common understanding of how things should be. We understood — no, we believed as a first principle — that our problems could be fixed with elections. Yet today, 68% of Republicans think the 2020 election was rigged. We celebrated our democratic traditions and the peaceful transfer of power.
Now, a third of Americans think violence against the government is sometimes justified.
Something has happened to us, and we need to figure it out — now.
Then, maybe we could get back to work pursuing and fulfilling the dream we once shared.

Kinabalu National Park Tours, Vacation Packages & Travel Experiences
When on Malaysia vacations, you may want to visit Kinabalu National Park, established in 1964 and one of Malaysia's first national parks.
Located on the west coast of Sabah, in Malaysian Borneo, the park spans an area of 754 sq. kms surrounding Mount Kinabalu, Borneo's highest mountain, sitting at 4095 metres above sea level.
Listed as Malaysia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kinabalu National Park features 4500 species of fauna and flora, ranging from rich lowland dipterocarp forest through the montane oak, rhododendron, to the conifer forests of the middle altitudes leading to alpine meadows and stunted, windswept bushes of the summit.
Mount Kinabalu is known to be one of the most accessible mountains in the world. Low's Peak, Mount Kinabalu's highest peak, was named after British colonial administrator and naturalist, Hugh Low, who led an expedition to the region in 1895, and was recorded to be the first to reach the peak. Although the two-day climb to the peak requires no special equipment, climbers must be accompanied by a guide, and include an overnight stay in Laban Rata, located 3,273m above sea level. The next morning, after reaching the top of the peak, climbers are offered magnificent views of the sunrise amidst lush greenery, something to behold ona Malaysia tour.
The headquarters of Kinabalu National Park is located 88kms from the city of Kota Kinabalu, and offers accommodation in forms of chalets and lodges around the park.
With some of the richest and most important biological sites in the world, Kinabalu National Park is one of Malaysia's most popular tourist destinations.

Hughes, projected No. 1 pick at 2019 NHL Draft, happy with USA Hockey
Center prospect opts against University of Michigan, says he's in 'best spot'
by Mike G. Morreale @mikemorrealeNHL / NHL.com Staff Writer
KAMLOOPS, British Columbia -- Jack Hughes, projected by many as the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, never wavered in his decision to continue his playing career at USA Hockey's National Team Development Program this season.
Hughes (5-foot-10, 166 pounds), a center, had 116 points (40 goals, 76 assists) with the U-17 and U-18 NTDP teams last season, one point shy of tying Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews for the single-season point record (117) set during his U-18 season in 2014-15. Hughes had 68 points (27 goals, 41 assists) in 36 games for the U-18.
"I just felt like the NTDP was the best spot for my development," Hughes said. "I love my teammates, my coaches, the resources and love being able to put on the USA jersey. I tell everyone no one trains as hard as us at the NTDP. We're working out in-season, skating four times a week, and playing games on top of that."
Hughes, 17, had the option of joining his brother, defenseman Quintin Hughes, at the University of Michigan. Quintin Hughes, 18, selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round (No. 7) of the 2018 NHL Draft, decided Saturday to return to Michigan for his sophomore season.
"I knew the NTDP was a great spot, and Michigan was a great spot as well," Jack Hughes said. "Quinn had really good success there and anytime I have a chance to play with Quinn it's really appealing. I took that into consideration, but I think the NTDP was the best spot."
Jack and Quintin are representing the United States at the World Junior Summer Showcase this week at Sandman Centre. The first round of cuts by USA Hockey is scheduled for Wednesday.
"I talked to him a bit before I made my decision to go back [to Michigan]," Quintin Hughes said. "Michigan worked for me, but that doesn't mean it would ultimately work for him. If you're a good enough player, no matter where you go, you'll find your way."
United States general manager John Vanbiesbrouck wasn't surprised by Jack's decision.
"He saw his bother go through a process and is content working on his game and developing as a player," Vanbiesbrouck said. "There's a great opportunity for him moving forward wearing the red, white and blue. We hope we keep him into it for a long time."
Iginla was 'full package'
Tim Hunter, coach of the Canada national junior team, played 11 of his 16 NHL seasons with the Calgary Flames. He was asked for his thoughts on former Flames captain Jarome Iginla, who announced his retirement on Thursday.
Iginla played 1,554 games for the Flames, Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings and finished with 1,300 points (625 goals, 675 assists).
"He was the full package; a really good hockey player," Hunter said. "He was a guy who could do almost everything, play on the power play, he was a power forward, had lots of touch, was a tough guy and wasn't afraid to drop the gloves. A real leader both on and off the ice. Being a former Calgary Flame, he had an incredible career."

Honka continues ascent
Anttoni Honka, 17, considers himself the best defenseman among four hockey-playing brothers.
The right-handed shot, expected to be a first-round pick in the 2019 draft, is the brother of Julius Honka (Dallas Stars), Aleksi Honka of Tour in France, and Valtteri Honka, who retired in 2016.
Julius Honka (5-11, 186), 22, selected in the first round (No. 14) of the 2014 NHL Draft, has been the most successful Honka to this point, but Anttoni is closing the gap. The younger Honka is a part of Finland's roster at the World Junior Summer Showcase this week.
"I like to pass more and [Julius] likes to shoot more," Anttoni said. "I like to watch him skate because he's pretty fast. I also like that passion he shows; he enjoys the game so much."
Anttoni (5-10, 176) is expected to play a full season for JYP in Liiga this season after scoring nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 20 games in 2017-18. He was also named best defenseman in Finland's second division after scoring 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) in 28 games for U-20 JYP.
"[Anttoni Honka] is a smart hockey player who compensates for his lack of size with his skating and offensive instincts; he has an excellent understanding of the game," said Goran Stubb, NHL Director of European Scouting.
Ginning brings something different for Sweden
Sweden has a number of highly talented offensive defensemen at the World Junior Summer Showcase, including Adam Boqvist (Chicago Blackhawks) and Filip Johansson (Minnesota Wild).
Adam Ginning (Philadelphia Flyers) brings another element. At 6-foot-3, 196 pounds, he plays a physical, defensive game.
"I'm a little bit more of a defensive guy, little bit more physical," he said. "Let them take care of the offensive side and I take more care of the defense."
Ginning, 18, had two points (one goal, one assist) in 28 games with Linkoping in the Swedish Hockey League last season, and six points (one goal, five assists) in 17 games with Linkoping in Sweden's junior league. He's expected to play full-time in the SHL this season and possibly have a significant role with Sweden at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship.
"He's been looking now like he's one of our top shutdown defensemen, and he's maybe our first penalty killer as well," Sweden coach Tomas Monten said.
Ginning said his offseason goals are to improve his play with the puck and get faster, but he won't stray from his defensive role.
"You can't only have offensive defensemen, you need to have someone that is a little more defensive," he said. "And that's what I try to bring."

401(k) and IRA Limits Increase in 2023
The IRS has announced that the amount individuals can contribute to their 401(k) plans in 2023 has increased to $22,500, up from $20,500 for 2022. They have also announced increased contribution limits for Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs).
Highlights of changes for 2023
The contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan is increased to $22,500, up from $20,500.
The limit on annual contributions to an IRA increased to $6,500, up from $6,000. The IRA catch‑up contribution limit for individuals aged 50 and over is not subject to an annual cost‑of‑living adjustment and remains $1,000.
The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan is increased to $7,500, up from $6,500. Therefore, participants in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan who are 50 and older can contribute up to $30,000, starting in 2023. The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over who participate in SIMPLE plans is increased to $3,500, up from $3,000.
The income ranges for determining eligibility to make deductible contributions to traditional Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), to contribute to Roth IRAs, and to claim the Saver's Credit all increased for 2023.
Taxpayers can deduct contributions to a traditional IRA if they meet certain conditions. If during the year either the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse was covered by a retirement plan at work, the deduction may be reduced, or phased out, until it is eliminated, depending on filing status and income. (If neither the taxpayer nor the spouse is covered by a retirement plan at work, the phase-outs of the deduction do not apply.) Here are the phase‑out ranges for 2023:
For single taxpayers covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range is increased to between $73,000 and $83,000, up from between $68,000 and $78,000.
For married couples filing jointly, if the spouse making the IRA contribution is covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range is increased to between $116,000 and $136,000, up from between $109,000 and $129,000.
For an IRA contributor who is not covered by a workplace retirement plan and is married to someone who is covered, the phase-out range is increased to between $218,000 and $228,000, up from between $204,000 and $214,000.
For a married individual filing a separate return who is covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains between $0 and $10,000.
The income phase-out range for taxpayers making contributions to a Roth IRA is increased to between $138,000 and $153,000 for singles and heads of household, up from between $129,000 and $144,000. For married couples filing jointly, the income phase-out range is increased to between $218,000 and $228,000, up from between $204,000 and $214,000. The phase-out range for a married individual filing a separate return who makes contributions to a Roth IRA is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains between $0 and $10,000.
The income limit for the Saver's Credit (also known as the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit) for low- and moderate-income workers is $73,000 for married couples filing jointly, up from $68,000; $54,750 for heads of household, up from $51,000; and $36,500 for singles and married individuals filing separately, up from $34,000.
The amount individuals can contribute to their SIMPLE retirement accounts is increased to $15,500, up from $14,000.
