Riot grrrls in the yard: Atlanta's BOSCO and Speakerfoxxx bring their secret language to Fool's Gold
Photo by: Matt Vega
Hanging with BOSCO and Speakerfoxxx is like being invited to a fly girl slumber party.
At their hotel room in the Meatpacking District's Soho House, the Atlanta-based duo are boisterous not just because of the excitement for their upcoming first collaborative release — a mixtape called Girls in the Yard out April 11 via Fool's Gold — but because of their decade-long friendship and the secret language they developed over the course of making the tape.
For the uninitiated, a link between the two is a bit of a head-scratcher. BOSCO made waves last year with her alternative soul EP BOY (also released on Fool's Gold), while Speakerfoxxx has long been known for her ties to Dungeon Family — the mixtape was recorded at OutKast's Stankonia Studios — and her Southern rap acumen. But the confluence of both of their styles and their vibrant tastes in music (reggae, dance music, pop, and more) allows them to build a neon-colored dance party that is equal parts bashment and warehouse party.
FACT spoke to the pair before their performance at Soho House's Vinyl Room about finally getting to work together, the pastiche influences of Girls in the Yard and the "hotness" of women hanging out casually.
You guys have been friends for a really long time, so why wait until now for the first collaborative project?
BOSCO: The universe kinda did it. We had intentions of working together for a very long time, but the universe and the stars really aligned for now. I respected her in her area and she respected me. We were both females in Atlanta doing our thing. But I wanted to do a mixtape and she said, "I think that would be cool," but she was supposed to be out of town with Master P. I never thought doing this mixtape would come from that. I wanted to do something a little bit different this time. I wanted to be aggressive, I wanted to yell, I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. I felt working with her, I was more comfortable to express myself in a different language with another female. With girls, it doesn't have to be said.
Speakerfoxxx: BOSCO and I have always wanted to work together, but we didn't know how. We were kind of in two different lanes and BOSCO was killing it in her respective lane, she was kind of doing — and keep in mind, both of us listen to all different types of music — she was killing it doing a lot of house-y, ambient electro, just beautiful soul-provoking music and I was becoming more known for playing a lot of Southern rap music. We didn't quite fit together.
BOSCO: So they thought!
Speakerfoxxx: We've always respected one another and supported one another, gone to each other's shows, post each other's fliers. We just support each other's brand. Up until I guess about December, we were just really trying to work on strengthening who we were [respectively] in our place in the world of music. I think we felt comfortable enough and, like BOSCO said, the universe allowed for it to happen. Things fell apart, in a sense, in such a way that allowed us to come together and to have the time to start this project. Once we started it, it was just a lot of fun.
"I was more comfortable to express myself in a different language with another female" BOSCO
One of the things that is a lot of fun about the tape is how seamlessly it pulls from different influences, including a lot of really popular songs like Beenie Man's 'Who Am I?' and Missy Elliott's 'Hot Boyz' — but especially fun is your flip of 'Black Box' by Everybody Everybody. How did these things get worked in?
BOSCO: [Gets up and starts dancing] We literally were just like [dancing around the studio] singing "booty on the floor, booty on the floor" [to 'Black Box'] and that's how we wrote the song.
Can you tell me a little bit more about what influenced the sound? You guys are both vets, but some of this is a little bit out of what we've come to expect, respectively, from both you.
Speakerfoxxx: When BOSCO first moved into my house, we kind of thought, 'OK, we'll make a mixtape' and we sat down with my iTunes and put together tracks that we liked the sound [of], like reference tracks. Songs that maybe we would draw inspiration from or songs that I was gonna sample from. I had a crate in my iTunes called BOSCO Mixtape and in that we had Cece Peniston "Follow Me", Terror Squad, Dipset, a lot of J Dilla, we had Tweet, a lot of Missy. When we started writing, I would keep referencing that crate of music. A lot of those ended up being interludes for the mixtape.
How did you guys end up living together while working on this?
Speakerfoxxx: She lives in LA and New York, she doesn't live in Atlanta.
BOSCO: I was supposed to go home for Christmas. That shit fell apart.
Speakerfoxxx: There were all those storms during Christmas. I was supposed to be out of town for Christmas.
BOSCO: Shit just literally kept us working on this.
Speakerfoxxx: I have two bedrooms in my house and I don't have any roommates. So we lived in this project, literally.
I think there is something about living with the people you create. It's so much easier to create with people you're bonded to. Your vision becomes even clear.
Speakerfoxxx: We were laughing about this tonight: we actually started talking like each other. We have the same mannerisms. We'll say the same thing at the same time.
"There's a power when it comes to women hanging out very casually and all together. It gets overlooked" Speakerfoxxx
So you guys have your own language now?
Travon, BOSCO's manager: They do.
BOSCO: Girls in the yard have that giddy language.
I was curious about the title Girls in the Yard – it seems very indebted to images we see in a lot of southern rap videos, as well as, at least conceptually, "yardies" in Jamaica.
BOSCO: Speakerfoxxx is very influenced by reggae — the music, Jamaica, when she visited there, she really liked it. I'm from Savannah, which is a very water, beachy kind of place, so I listened to a lot of reggae, as well. Dub, specifically. But we were just thinking of concepts and we were listening to…
Speakerfoxxx: Junior Reid Pandora.
BOSCO: And it's always "boys in the yard" and we just wanted to do the role reversal and do a call to action for girls. She made a great point [previously] – we're not alienating men, we're just reminding the femininity energy of their place and encouraging them to really rise to the top and push forward in culture and music and fashion. Any specific creative field that they want. It was very important for us and solidified in my relationship and demonstrate that, to reinforce that through the music, to reinforce that through the visuals, the style.
Speakerfoxxx: I made a mixtape called Dopegirl Anthems and it was hosted by Gangsta Boo. We had all of my girlfriends hanging out on a stoop because growing up in the south, you're on your staircase, you're on your front porch, you're on the stoop. You sit and you drink and you smoke, play dice. Normally in art or in history you see groups of men doing that, but there's something super hot and super powerful about recognizing that women are doing the same thing. We're sitting around smoking our Newports —
BOSCO: — talking shit.
Speakerfoxxx: There's a power in that, there's a super hotness in that. I think it's overlooked a lot of times. But the world is just starting to tap into [it]. I felt it in Beyoncé's 'Formation' and – what was that Rihanna video that was shot in Jamaica that was so hot? 'Man Down'. There's a power when it comes to women hanging out very casually and all together. It gets overlooked. We're strong and I think that a lot of times women disenfranchise themselves and forget that when you come together and you're just hanging out, even on the casual — the other night, BOSCO, our friend Alicia and I, we just were hanging out in the yard, threw down a blanket, were watching the stars.
BOSCO: Constellation apps! It was so good!
Speakerfoxxx: We didn't need guys around. And that's what it's all about. Girls in the Yard is all about that.
It also reminds me a lot of the "girls to the front" sentiment from riot grrrl. You know, we're not going to hold your jacket in the back of the show, we're going to dance, too.
Speakerfoxxx: That's exactly what it's like: Bikini Kill, riot grrrl. What band were you talking about the other day that you love?
BOSCO: Bikini Kill.
Speakerfoxxx: It's all those girl punk rock bands, I draw a lot of inspiration from them.

COUNTERFORCE!
By the Editor-in-chief
Any car going straight forward (in a tunnel) will continue to move forward - and here it comes - unless a counter force was produced to make it change its course. The question is, what was that counter force?
Diana Princess of Wales
THE UNITED STATES
DangeroU.S. Polarization!
"We believe that the United States might not be able to control it's internal emotions as a Nation (6.1.21) and therefore risk taking the wrong decitions in foreign politics. This dangerous polarization can have a catastrophic concequence for the people of the world. It happened in Vietnam and with Afghanistan and it can happen again with the Peoples republic of China!"
In the name of Human Dignity.
The Russian withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989 was an orderly and dignified affair. In sharp contrast to the withdrawal of the United States and NATO forces withdrawal of the same country 31.8.2021 which is a shameful and degrading experience which left thousands of people stranded waiting for their certain execution by the Taliban. Afghanistan became the mountain on which Western logic was pulverized.
Warning lamps Flashing!
And now. Warnings lamps are flashing, as nuclear powered nations seek to preserve an imagined threshold over an even more imaginary enemy. The people who brought us complete shame in Afghanistan are the very same people who now have control over the keys to the depots in Europe that store B61-12 thermo nuclear bombs. The collapse of Western logic in Afghanistan is the fuse which can bury Human Dignity.
Dear friends and readers,
The U.S. Federal Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic exposes incompetence and decay. The conse-quences will play out over years to come. The COVID-19 crisis augurs three water-sheds: the end of Europe's inte-gration project, the end of a united, functional America, and the end of the implicit social compact between the Chinese state and its citizens. As a result, all three powers will em-erge from the pandemic internally weakened, undermining their ability to provide global leadership.
CLICK ON FLAG PLAY ANTHEM
 The Corona Virus is Accelerating America's Decline!
We have been living for some time in a G-minus-2 world of poor leadership by the U.S. and China.
Start with Europe. As with the 2010-12 eurozone crisis, the bloc's fault line today runs through Italy. Drained over decades of dynamism and fiscally fragile, it is too big for Europe to save and too big to let fail. During the pandemic, Italians have felt abandoned by their European partners at a moment of existential crisis, creating fertile ground for populist politicians to exploit. The images of Bergamo's COVID-19 victims being carried in body bags by military convoy to their anonymous, unaccompanied burials, will long remain etched in the Italian collective psyche.
Meanwhile, when addressing how to help pandemic-stricken member states, the European Union's technocratic, ostrich-like elites lapse into the institutional alphabet soup — ECB, ESM, OMT, MFF and PEPP — that has become their default language. The continent's leaders have faltered and dithered, from European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde's apparent gaffe in March — when she said that the ECB was "not here to close spreads" between member states' borrowing costs — to the bickering over debt mutualization and COVID-19 rescue funds and the reluctant, grudging incrementalism of the latest agreement.
Suppose, as seems likely, that the successful economies of the EU core recover from the crisis while those on the bloc's periphery falter. No political integration project can survive a narrative featuring a permanent underclass of countries that do not share their neighbors' prosperity in good times and are left to their own devices when calamity strikes.
The United States' decline, meanwhile, is over-predicted and under-believed. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, key U.S. institutions signaled decay: the incontinent presidency of Donald Trump, a gerrymandered Congress, a politicized Supreme Court, fractured federalism and captured regulatory institutions (with the U.S. Federal Reserve being an outstanding exception).
Deep down, however, many of those Americans who see the decay reject the thesis of decline. They remain convinced that the country's thick web of non-state institutions and underlying strengths including its universities, media, entrepreneurial spirit, and technological prowess, as well as the global supremacy of the dollar — provide the resilience America needs to maintain its pre-eminence.
But so far, the world's richest country has been by far the worst at coping with the pandemic. Although the US has less than 5% of the world's population, it currently accounts for about 24% of total confirmed COVID-19 deaths and 32% of all cases.
In rapid succession, therefore, America's credibility and global leadership have been buffeted by imperial overreach (the Iraq war), a rigged economic system (the global financial crisis), political dysfunction (the Trump presidency), and now staggering incompetence in tackling COVID-19. The cumulative blow is devastating, even if it is not yet fatal.
Many of these pathologies in turn stem from the deep and poisonous polarization in US society. Indeed, Trump is now goading his supporters into insurrection. Come November, even the basic democratic criterion of holding free and fair elections could end up being flouted. Of course, it would be alarmist and premature to see America's far-reaching failures in the face of the COVID-19 crisis as threatening U.S. democracy or nationhood. But clinging adamantly to American exceptionalism at such a time seems like dangerous denialism.
Finally, there is China. Since the time of Deng Xiaoping, the country has thrived on a simple, implicit agreement: citizens remain politically quiescent, accepting curbs on freedom and liberties, and the state — firmly under the control of the Communist Party of China — guarantees order and rising prosperity. But the COVID-19 crisis threatens that grand bargain in two ways.
First, the Chinese authorities' terrible initial handling of the pandemic, and in particular their catastrophic suppression of the truth about the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, has called the regime's legitimacy and competence into question. After all, the social contract looks less attractive if the state cannot guarantee citizens' basic well-being, including life itself. China's true COVID-19 death toll, which is almost certainly higher than the authorities are admitting, will eventually come to light. So, too, will the stark contrast with the exemplary response to the pandemic by the freer societies of Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Second, the pandemic could lead to an external squeeze on trade, investment, and finance. If the world deglobalizes as a result of COVID-19, other countries will almost certainly look to reduce their reliance on China, thus shrinking the country's trading opportunities. Similarly, more Chinese companies will be blocked from investing abroad, and not just on security grounds — as India has recently signaled, for example. And China's Belt and Road Initiative — its laudable effort to boost its soft power by building trade and communications infrastructure from Asia to Europe — is at risk of unraveling as its pandemic-ravaged poorer participants start defaulting on onerous loans.
The COVID-19 crisis will therefore probably hurt China's long-term economic prospects. Widespread internal rumblings have begun, even if they are less evident externally. Domestic disorder is unlikely, because President Xi Jinping could ratchet up repression even more ruthlessly and effectively than he already has. But the current social contract will seem increasingly Faustian to the average Chinese citizen.
Command of resources is a prerequisite for power. But, as international-relations theory reminds us, projecting power beyond one's borders requires a modicum of cohesion and solidarity within them. Weak, fractured societies, no matter how rich, cannot wield strategic influence or provide international leadership — nor can societies that cease to remain models worthy of emulation.
We have been living for some time in a G-minus-2 world of poor leadership by the U.S. and China. Both have been providing global public "bads" such as trade wars and erosion of international institutions, instead of public goods such as stability, open markets, and finance. By further weakening the internal cohesion of the world's leading powers, the COVID-19 crisis threatens to leave the world even more rudderless, unstable, and conflict-prone. The sense of three endings in Europe, America, and China is pregnant with such grim geopolitical possibilities.
中國的法律權利
親愛的朋友和讀者們。 治安是中國的基石。 祖國擁有在其自己的領土後院香港實施法律和秩序的合法權利。 無需徵得任何其他國家的許可。 在西方,這既不是很好理解也不是很受歡迎。 西方天真的從"民主"和"權利"的角度講是政治上的壓迫,是宣傳。 香港是祖國; 只有一個。 美國在製裁世界"每個其他"國家之前,應照顧好自己的人權和黑人公民問題。 祝你有美好的一天,乾杯
China's Legal Rights
Dear friends and readers. Public security is the cornerstone of China. The Motherland has the legal right to enforce law and order in the backyard of Hong Kong in its own territory. No permission from any other country is required. In the West, this is neither well understood nor popular. The naivety of the West is political oppression and propaganda from the perspective of "democracy" and "rights." Hong Kong is the motherland, and there is only one! The United States should take care of its own human rights and black citizen issues before sanctioning "every other" country in the world. Have a nice day, cheers!

Trump in the not so White House.
FASCISM IN AMERICA
Our leaders are not qualified to bring Mankind safely forward
1938 REVISITED?
One mistake, and the world as we know it is gone. One slightest error, and the civilization that we so proudly and arrogantly cling to will dissolve into fine dust encircling our desolated planet.
But, that fact does not seem to bother anyone. Wrapped in hyper-logic exasperations of the most desolated sort, mankind is rapidly drifting towards its own disintegration; proclaimed by rational world leaders as "a sustainable future" with "zero emission". It is all a lie!
There is no "sustainable future" and "zero emission" is a fantasy product presented, while death and destruction are filling our lungs.
And I am not referring to the ongoing pandemic. Not at all. That, after all, is a minor incident in the Grand drama. In 1993 I went with the Norwegian-owned buoy-tanker Anna Knutsen from Antwerp in the Netherlands to the Statfjord C buoy on the Norwegian side. We collected 200.000tons of crude and brought it back to Teesside in England. There are twenty and more tankers shuttling up to Norway every month collecting crude. Each of these giants evaporate enough carbon-gas to destroy life in a small town. Multiply that with 2000, because that is the daily gift of poisonous vapor which Norway, in all it's green, self-proclaimed hype, gives back to mankind. Just a thought.
Here is another one. In 2003 I visited Fushun in North-East China. What's so interesting about Fushun, you might ask? Fushun is the place of the Ping Ding Massacre. The one that Japan committed towards the local, Chinese population there. But, again, that is a minor incident in the Grand drama. For centuries Fushun's West Pit has been the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia. It contributed greatly to China's new prosperity, before it was shut down in 2019.
We will accept any solution – and I underline "any" – to advance the economy. We will even burn down the Rain Forrest in Brazil. The common longue of renewable oxygen in the world. While lame European Union and the United States watch by and do nothing.
We are on the edge of an unfathomable deep abyss. From where there is no hope of survival. Just as it was in 1938 in the German Reich. They believed in the cause and failed. We believe in our cause, and we are failing. Again. These days as we are living are the days of 1938 revisited.
Our leaders are not qualified to bring mankind safely forward. Covid-19 has proved that. We are going down on a first-class ticket with no possibility of return.
Amused? Have a wonderful day!
BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW
NORWAY'S SECRET POLICE OPERATES
A LAWLESS AND DEHUMANIZING
STATE WITHIN THE STATE
Painting by Adolf-Wissel: Kallenberger farmer family, 1939
HARASS AND DESTROYS THE LIVES OF MANY
The war was not over! The war which ended in 1945 has continued to this day. Norwegian secret police targets writers, journalists, and people in opposition to the lawlessness and disregard for human rights within the secret police force, the department of Justice in Oslo and other departments. Petrofilm.com:
Norwegian police and scumbags breaks §90, the spy paragraph, Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the United Nations Human Rights when they spy on their own population for the American Embassy's SIMAS program.
Infiltrates the Church and harass people during Mass
This lawless secret police infiltrates the Catholic Church and turn the Church against members of their own church. The secret police put out false rumors among people, in shops, at working places to disregard and exclude enemies of the state.(Documented)
Use false cellular towers to obtain data
Taps mobile phones from false cellular towers in moving and stationary veheicles, and uses the information obtained to further make life as destructive as possible. Obtain flight data from airlines to follow and further harass. (Documented)
Harass Norwegian citizens abroad
Follow people abroad. Operates in Spain and other countries in order to crush opposition. Provoke people on the streets in Oslo, walk them down, block entrances in doors to shops and arrive on peoples workplaces to provoke trouble so as to get people fired. (Documented)
Put out sleezy rumors to discredit targets
They use cheap tactics and put out rumors of homosexuality, pedophilia and other deviance's to further discredit people. They visit neighbors of targets and tell them that this person is a bad person. They do all which is humanly possible to destroy the life of any who have an opinion which goes against their own.(Documented)
Create dialogue and you're an Enemy of the State
And they themselves do not present evidence to justify their mafia-like operations. Specially of those who will have dialogue with Russia, instead of war. You look to the East in today's Norway, and you are as good as an enemy of the State.
The Norwegian secret police have access to a myriad of people with whom they cooperate. They work through people, so that the marks of their deed shall not be evident.
Traitors of truth and human rights. Instigators of trouble and death threats en par with Chiles right-wing Pinochet Junta. (Documented)
Norway's secret police: "The truth is what We say it is!"
The Norwegian Nazi Police from the War has disappeared, but the substantive core of evil has not. This is Norway of today, on the same level as in the East German Democratic Republic DDR under Walter Ulbricht, the life under Stalin and in Croatia under Ante Pavelic.(Documented)
A Dicatorship of the Partitocracy
Norway has a shine-democracy - a dictatorship of the partitocracy which erodes real prosperity and real human rights for the population and operates as a State within a State.
Petrofilm.com has in it's possession a huge amount of evidence of the operations of the Secret State. This is not
a joke or a fantasy, it is real.
The Norwegian Quislings of today sell out Norway's population and destroys oppo-sition with an iron fist. (Documented)
Security Incident Management Analysis System SIMAS
Data mining from Government servers constitutes a serious crime and should be prosecuted. However, the United States' State Department should be careful not to exploit its Security Incident Management Analysis System, SIMAS in a dehumanizing way. (Documented)
Sell out their own people to a foreign power
It is a fact that Norwegian police and intelligence operatives work hand-in-glove with the United States Embassy in Oslo mining a huge amount of personal data from ordinary Norwegian citizens.
Thus, violating §90, the Spy paragraph, which states that "working for a foreign power is a serious crime and is punishable." (Documented)
The Law applies equally to everyone
Breaking the United Nations Human Rights and the Fundamental Charter of the European Union on personal protection is a serious crime too. Before criticizing codebreakers and journalists around the world, the United States should first scrutinize its own endeavors. You can't live crooked and think straight, weather you're a chauffeur or a Chief of State! The Law applies equally to everyone. (Documented)
Until the mid 1960'ies leading Nazi's were still associated within the Norwegian Police.
The Norwegian Nazi Police instigated harassment and deportation of all Norwegian Jews that they could lay their hands on and sent them express to the cremation ovens in the concentration camps in Poland. The Norwegian Police has never been indicted for its participation in administrative and practical work in the genocide of the Norwegian Jews.(Documented)
PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZED THE DANGER OF FASCISM
When we have to do with human beings there are particularly three words that comes to mind, empathy, respect and dignity. What you will read and watch here are the opposite of those three words, combined in one common slogan, "fascism". The seed of fascism lies within us, in the general public, and it is there waiting to pop out at the right time under a charismatic fascist leader. (Documented)
The colder it gets between people the more fascism thrives
In my own work dealing with people and dialogue in general, I have come to experience that many of us are not capable of viewing another human being right in front of ourselves with warmth, empathy, and humanness. I believe this defect to be one of several primary causes for disharmony, conflict, and war. I call this phenomenon, The coldness between people. (Documented)

Teodor Ludwig Wiesengrund Adorno - German philosopher,
ONE CANNOT FREE ONESELF IN ONES OWN COURT
Norway's so called "official apology" which the Norwegian State has proclaimed, does not however, in itself give absolution for their guilt. One cannot free oneself in one's own Court. A Police Force which has commit such a heinous crime once is able to do repeat it. The German philosopher Carl Jaspers has said, "Has it happened the first time then it can happen again!"
The German philosopher Theodor Adorno also points in this direction saying that, "Without the lack of warmth between people, Holocaust would never had happened."

76 YEARS AFTER THE WAR
Seventy six years after the War ended I find it most disturbing to live in a society were those who shall upheld the Law, the Police, is in fact the very same organization that killed the Jews, individuals like you and me. This fact makes each and everyone of us vulnerable, because if has happened once it can happen again. And it does happen again, every day, although in a more subtle form. It is called a free and democratic society, free to harass and kill, democratic when it suites the purpose. A major lesson here is the vulnerability of the individual when faced with the institutions of the State when these institutions are not committed to the defense of the individual.
"That which has happened is a warning!" Karl Jaspers
"To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen. And it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented."
Karl Theodor Jaspers German, Born 23 February 1883 – 26 February 1969 was a German-Swiss psychiatrist and philosopher who had a strong influence on modern theology psychiatry, and philosophy. After being trained in and practicing psychiatry, Jaspers turned to philosophical inquiry and attempted to discover an innovative philosophical system. He was often viewed as a major exponent of existentialism in Germany, though he did not accept the label.

There was a time when some of us actually
believed in political dignity!
Dear friends and readers! There was a time in the mid-1950'ies when I grew up in a small place in Oslo called Kampen, from French Campement, encampment. It was a nice place of old, working class houses, a school, and a church. Girls dressed in skirts with flower pattern, boys in nice trousers, not jeans.

We believed in the flag, our country, and the constitution. Every 17th of May on the National Day, we marched together singing nationalistic songs and afterwards we had hot dog and lemonade. The war was behind us and the future looked bright. In the 1950'ies we believed in the common good for all. Although most of us were from modest economic background. But we had something called dignity in ourselves. And we believed that this dignity could bring us safely through, whatever came in our way.
With the advancement of the petrochemical industry new products such as plastic and polyutherane came to market. Girls no longer dressed in skirt but skin-tight Spandex trousers. Anatomically revealing their vulva. Men followed up! There was a change in the mindset. What was unheard of in the 50'ies and 60'ies now became not only acceptable, but mainstream. Shockingly provocative, and vulgar as it was.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, was created with dignity in mind. To protect life and the values that we in the West adhere to. It was a respectable organization with respectable men and women. With the advancement of propulsion technology, bomb, and electronic technology new products such as thermonuclear B61-12 and F-16 and F-35 fighter jets came to markets. Strategically revealing their through purpose. Countries were encouraged to accept these new technologies. And, again there was a change in the mindset. What was unheard of in the 50'ies and 60'ies now became not only acceptable, but mainstream. Shockingly dangerous and unpredictable as it is.
Norway went from no foreign troops on its soil to accepting US Marines through the back door. As a test operation. It went from no nukes on its soil to full, nuclear engagement, again through the backdoor, without even bother to let the people vote on the issue. A clear moral breach, and a far step away from dignity.

B61-12: The Norwegian population will not be able to absorb a Russian retaliation
Change in Norway's policy from a friendly and respectable bilateral relation with Russia to an aggressive and provocative stance in the mid 1980'ies and onwards reveal a character flaw never seen before in this nations history.
A lie flourished in the corridors of power: Strut you ass and reveal your vulva and one will be guaranteed eternal life! And that is what Norway did. Went to bed with Washington and became a whore. Never for a moment thinking of the real consequences for its marginal population of 5.4 million, but whore-like painted them up into a corner they now cannot escape from.
We admire the United States of America! Beacon of the free World! And as Norwegians we respect Washington. But the reasoning on the Norwegian side is wrong. Norway's mission in the world is to create peace and common ground. Also, with its big neighbor Russia. Today!
The ultimate betrayal is to sit and wait for an opportunity, and then when it arrives, use that opportunity to take possession of the truth and twist and bend that truth in order to make it a supportive case for one's own intentions, such as the right-wing Norwegian Solberg Government does today. This is a profoundly serious legal and humanistic matter, shockingly depleted of human dignity.

A Petrofilm study: A 45Kt nuclear Air-burst detonation (3xHiroshima) over central Trondheim in Mid-Norway will bring Norway to its knees. Every one of the eight US Marine pre-positioned supply caves will be neutralized within minutes. Oslo will then be given an ultimatum to give up Counties Trondelag, Troms and Finmark, which would give Russia more ice-free harbors.

In the meantime, God help us all, the Norwegian political whore will continue to provoke and shock.
THE STATE AS CHURCH?
This is the Dictatorship of the Partitocracy
NORWAY THE PARLIAMENT
The most devastating decision for Norway in recent times was to harass and ultimately destroy the Catholic Church in the country. Introduce Protestantism and, through an iron-fisted church and Ministry of Education, impose bureaucratic directives on the people. The State took on the role of both tax collector and spiritual guide. The following of this new arrangement has in reality made most of Norway's population atheists and the country a cultural bracket; yes, it is an almost cultural underdeveloped and sexualy norm-breaking society without much other values than cold money.
The Norwegian State - young as it is in European history, has a rude and free-spirited attitude when, on its own behalf, it imposes on the population its extremely troublesome opinions about what it believes is right and proper in ecclesiastical and in familyplanning matters. Here is a recent example of State abuse versus citizen in a Child Welfare case:
Strassbourg, December 22, 2020
Norway Convicted in another Child Welfare case
In the Human Rights Court, Strassbourg
Norway today violated the right to family life in a child welfare case where foster parents were allowed to adopt, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) states.
The case is about a girl who the child welfare service took over the care for just days after she was born. The girl was placed in a foster home, and the mother was granted four visits a year, each of two hours. When the girl was four years old, the mother was deprived of parental rights, and the county council approved that the girl could be adopted. The mother went to court to change the decision, but did not succeed. It is the mother who has appealed the case to the Human Rights Court in Strasbourg.
This is the dictatorship of the partitocracy wrapped in gold-embroidered gloves and foggy talk. In front of an increasinly indifferent population that has been detached from the Mother Church almost by a kind of «military coup." I am referring here to the commander of Akershus Fortress in Oslo, who in his time had the Catholic Sistersiencer Abbey on Hovedøya (the Main Island), which is located deep in the Oslo fjord, demolished and burned to the ground. Much of the remaining stones of the Abbey was taken and used as building material for the fortress itself.
The State clearly saw the Catholic Church as a real threat. As an example, §2 in Norway's laws between 1814 and 1956 prohibited Catholic Jesuits admisions to the Kingdom. In 1636 by the order of the Danish King Christian the Fourth who reciden in Chopenhagen, Norway was forcefully detached from the Catholic Church and joined to the Lutheran Protestant Church. That became the end of the Catholic Era for Norway. This was a catastrophic mistake for Norway's further development as a Nation and it's people, and has in later years contributed to cultural isolationism and non-integration in the European Community, among other things.

Norway as a non-piety State.
"The decline of Spirituality in the West in general, the weakening and the right-out abolishment of the Christian faith in many places today, and the materialization and dehumanization process reflected in the general coldness between people, gives reason for great concern."
Norway's King Haakon IV, "What happened to spirituality in Norway?"
In the Norwegian society of today, Man is undoubtedly being reduced to the weight of his own body. The newspapers write about losing and gaining weight every, single day. "It's all about meat, meat and more meat," says Harald Dahle, "and nothing about Man as a Spiritual being in God. In their educations Norwegians learn nothing about Spirituality, but every-thing about fiscal policies and fancy theories." He reflects on the Norwegian's Laissez-faire type mantra "to Enjoy." With the full blessing and encouragement of an authoritative and non-spiritual State, off course! You know, the Norwegians does not really have anything of spiritual value, and this is why they so desperately try the become what they are not and can never be, canonized.
The decline of Spirituality in the West in general, the weakening and the right out abolishment of the Christian faith in many places today, and the materialization and dehumanization process reflected in the general coldness between people, gives reason for great concern; in Norway, however, this is "business as usual", a stroke of death before the curtain fall. Before we as less civilized and empathic people criticize religion and spirituality in the Islamic Republic of Iran today one should first explain and understand the collapse of Christianity as a main factor in the western societies of today. In the Age of conspicuous consumption, oil and gas, sexual "freedom" and decline of conservative values the Norwegian society is identified with an overwhelming absence of piety in combination with a cold, disdained and superfluous inter-human relations almost devoid of human dignity. Just as it was in the last days before the fall of the decadent, Roman Empire!
On the streets of Oslo, the Norwegians bow their small and worried heads down towards their large, active-matrix organic light-emitting diode screens on their cell phones. And that they do all day! And it is the only time ever when the Norwegians bow their heads! On the walls of the houses in capital Oslo, there are not the minutest sign of spirituality. No, al-fresco paintings of the apostles, the Blessed Virgin Mary, a cross, some ornaments pointing towards a cultural connection with continental Europe. Nothing! The capital is chemically, organically, and spiritually devoid of any sign of a higher and dignified purpose in life. Alongside country roads leading through walleyes and over plains, through small towns and barren fields there is not a single cross, no memory built for an ancient, Christian pilgrim who shall have walked and died there. Not a signpost pointing towards a time when Norway was a country belonging together in spirit with the other Christian nations on the grand mainland of Europe.
THE SLIPPERY SLIDE TO HUMAN CATASTROPHE "In my work dealing with people and dialogue, "says Harald Dahle, "I have come to learn that many of us are not capable if viewing another human being right in front of ourselves with warmth, empathy and humanness. I believe this defect to be one of several primary causes for disharmony, conflict and war!" This phenomena bears special relevance to the people of Norway who actually live on an "island" - with the North Sea on one side and the forest and mountains bordering to Sweden and Russia on the other - and can do as they damn well please without having to take into account the more aristocratic and refined continental European culture further south. "I was in Munich already in 1956 and was raised in Sissach in Canton Basel Land in Switzerland," says Dahle whose father became a Swiss citizen. Harald Dahle, it sets the Norwegian cold and minimalistic Lutheran Church, controlled by the Department of Church -and Culture, in a certain perspective!
"The German philosopher, sociologist and composer Teodor Ludwig Wiesengrund Adorno, left picture, has also had opinions about the "coldness between people phenomena: "Without the chilly and disdained behavior between people, the extermination of the Jews would not have taken place in Germany" he warned. Adorno was a leading member of the Frankfurt School of critical theory, whose work has come to be associated with thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse , for whom the works of Freud, Marx and Hegel were essential to a critique of modern society. He is widely regarded as one of the 20th century's foremost thinkers on aesthetics and philosophy, as well as one of its pre-eminent essayists. As a critic of both fascism and what he called the cultural industry, his writings - such as Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), Minima Moralia (1951) and Negative Dialectic (1966) - strongly influenced the European New Left.
Russians meet Norwegians sheltering in a mine in Finmark
The underdogs crawl out of the cave!
Dear friends and readers, introducing,
Yes, we love this Country as it Rises Forth!
How Russia phobia in Norway today undermines Democracy and tramples on Human Rights, and the slogan "not to be prepared" is Norway's blatant excuse to draw massive US military and financial support.
The first line in the Norwegian National Anthem goes like, "Yes, we love this Country as it rises forth…" It is a beautiful, poetic line; it sets a dreamlike direction for the country in combination with an uncertain vision of the future. The country rises, but it is not certain how much it rises and what direction it will take.
 Far, far away Norway shimmered like Gold
She is forty-three years old and is the store manager for a computer shop in Oslo. One day, four men and a woman enter the shop; they line up in front of the desk where she works helping customers. The woman in the five-person group approaches her and says, "I have a problem with this hard drive," she holds up a small, portable drive, "can you fix it for me?" she asks the woman behind the counter. She responds, "We don't do this kind of operation here," but I can certainly try and fix it for you privately and you can collect it here tomorrow, if that is acceptable to you?" The middle-aged woman agrees to pay forty dollars for the service."
The next day the woman arrives back in the shop. The store manager says, "Here it is, I fixed the drive for you." The woman responds, "I don't want it!" The store manager says, "But, why…we had an agreement!" Whereupon the woman says, "I don't want it because you did it privately!"
Two days later, the female store manager was told to come to a meeting with the owner of the computer shop, a lawyer, and a friend of hers. She came. Her friend, the lawyer, introduced an unknown person. He said, "He is a person who works here; I have got complaints about you." The lawyer points to four letters laying in front of him on the table. "These letters are from the Police Academy in Oslo (Politiskolen). The perplexed store manager responded, "Can I see them please?" She stretches out her arm to receive a letter. The lawyer answered, "Sorry, no you cannot take a look."
The store manager was kicked out of her position as store manager. No job, no money, no food. During the following thirty years, the same woman was harassed on the streets, literally walked down, phone was tapped, work was denied, assignments destroyed, a car given to her by an auto dealer as part of a project was suddenly taken away from her after someone had called the dealer and badmouthed her. Priest and nuns in the Catholic church were she used to go were introduced with falsified stories about her. One priest attacked her inside the church. She was harassed on weekly basis inside shops, at cafés, in restaurants and in public libraries and public places.
Why does this happen in Norway today? Because this honest woman had been a journalist for the largest newspaper in Norway "Aftenposten" and the right-wing newspaper "Morgenbladet" and had been an independent freelancer for many years and written about potential Russian infiltrations in the European peace movements protesting against the deliverance of the US-made Neutron bomb to Europe. She had also written about Russian operations in Norway and through her work rubbed arms with Russians in Oslo. The violation of United Nations Article 23, the Right to work, and massive violations of basic human rights were of no concern to the Norwegian Authorities and the secret Police.
The woman now learned that another kind of country, another Norway, " was rising forth". One of suppression and a marginal life. She is still alive, but for how long, it is uncertain.
A Police force that dragged Norwegian Jews out of bed at 4AM, squeezed them into waiting taxies, and shipped them to Nazi extermination camps in Poland has no problem with taking the life of one, single individual! They have no problems with establishing a complete stand-down to let one single man, Anders Behring Breivik take all the lives he possible wished for, without one single shot being fired to stop him, neither in Oslo nor on the Out Island (Utøya) Labor Party holiday camp for teenagers. Among several thousand police at work that day, not one was authorized to interfere. "Yes, we love this Country as it rises forth…"
The Norwegian is a good person. A kind person. And a person one can trust. This is why people who come to Norway enjoy being here. But somewhere in the collective psyche, and I am not sure at what time it happened, the Norwegian had to make an existential choice; take upon himself the role of the meek underdog who need the reassuring support of a stronger dog, or to adhere to real patriotism who is strong enough to stand on ones own two feet. Reliable enough to be trusted by others and honest enough not to exploit the generosity of the United States of America.
We all want to sell something. Weather it is 54 F-35 fighter jets, services, oil, and gas, or in some cases us. It has been indicated by some that Norway has become the 51st state of the United States, and with good reason. When the Norwegian sing, "Yes, we love this Country as it rises forth," it is pertinent to ask, which country is he then referring to? The country, which is the Beacon of the Free World, the United States of America, or a tiny, barren strip of land at the outermost edge of Europe which is trying hard to be what it is not, honest to itself and to its people?
DEFENSE NORWAY
  NORWAY LOST THE WAR BEFORE IT HAD STARTED
INHUMANE CONDITIONS
AS A RESULT OF FLAWED POLITICS
Illustration from Peter Watkins Movie The War Game
From a human-protection point of view, the Norwegian people are being led astray and are having the truth omitted to them by incompetent, biased politicians and bureaucrats. The Department of Defense and the Directorate for Civil Preparedness will not tell the truth of how dire the situation for the Norwegian people is thereby being guilty of exposing its population to inhumane sufferings, mass casualties and mass deaths! Due to a catastrophically lack of preparedness, Norway will lose the next war before it starts.
Seventy six years after the War ended I find it most disturbing to live in a society were those who shall upheld the Law, the Police, is in fact the very same organization that killed the Jews, individuals like you and me.
This fact makes each and everyone of us vulnerable, because if has happened once it can happen again. And it does happen again, every day, although in a more subtle form. It is called a free and democratic society, free to harass and kill, democratic when it suites the purpose. A major lesson here is the vulnerability of the individual when faced with the institutions of the State when these institutions are not committed to the defense of the individual.
79 YEARS AFTER THE DEPORTATION OF THE JEWS
THE NORWEGIAN POLICE IS STILL
G U I L T Y
OF ADMINISTRATIVE MASS MURDER AND
The brutal Norwegian facist-police together with their degenerated fascist friends in the Nazi-inspired Hirden-organization committed administrative mass murder and physical crimes against Norwegian Jews and the Humanity. However, they were never indicted for their heinous crimes.
Instead they absolved their own sins in a pathetic apology from Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, the present Chair of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO. Which is another example of how these people protect each other.
From one facist to another: Norwegian NATO General Jens "the obedient poodle" Stoltenberg shakes hand with the #1 traitor in the history of the United States, His Excellency president Donald J. Trump in the not so White House.
This is what the Norwegian Facist Police did to the Norwgian Jews.

Senator Alben W. Barkley, member of a committee investigating Nazi atrocities, looks at a pile of bodies at Buchenwald concentration camp. The bodies had been left out in the sun and rain for almost two weeks after the liberation of Buchenwald on April 11, 1945. There had been so many deaths before the liberation of the camp that the crematorium ovens were not able to keep up.
They did it once, and it can happen again. We have no guarantee that it will not happen again.

KLICK HERE: THE NORWEGIAN POLICE DOUBLE STANDARDS
Hello friends! No one else in the society could get off such a huge crime as the murder of six million Jews is, without an indictment followed by a conviction. Norwegian right-wing terrorist Ander Behring Breivik, for instance was swiftly tried and he received life in prison. The Norwegian police, however, was an integrated part, although not one of the largest, of the third Reich's grand solution to the Jew problem, but was not charged.
Clearly, as everyone can see, we are talking double standards here, one for the police and another one for the people!
In principle there is no difference between the administrative work that Adolf Eichmann did and the administrative work that the Norwegian police did with regards to the Jews. Both instances facilitated and managed the logistics of mass deportations and murder of the Jews, but only one of them was charges for it!
THE POLICE AND THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF FASCISM 1940-2020
They have created a State within the State. They themselves proclaim that they are above the Law, while continuing to harass and destroy the lives of many people. Behind their facade of obedience to the Law they have sold out their own people to a foreign power.
These are the people who like to be looked up to and walk around with an incredible hybris of vain power. These are the people who has put the lives of many in great danger by invited foreign troops and thermo-nuclear weapons onto Norwegian soil.
THERE IS A HUGE HOLE IN NATO'S DEFENSE
THE "VECTOR" THREAT
When analyzing American ballistic missile capabilities and anti-aircraft missiles with long range ballistic capabilities, Russian rocket experts have found that the problem is that American rockets cannot intercept any ballistic missile in the mesosphere, that is the alti- tude between 35000m and 80000m. Therefore, Russia has focused on developing means of hypersonic cruise-flights for long distances, at precisely these different heights. The prin- ciple used by the US antiballistic shield is to send a rocket into space, and near the point of impact, calculate the trajectory of the ballistic missile.
Click picture and play US "WaveRider Mach 6"
The Boeing X-51 WaveRider is an unmanned research scramjet aircraft for hypersonic flight at Mach 5 3,300 mph; 5,300 km/h, an altitude of 70,000 feet, 21,000 m.
American interceptor-missiles are operating as suborbital rockets with solid fuel. Once they are started, they cannot be stopped and the traction cannot be adjusted. More impor- tantly, the interceptor-missile will not comply with the ballistic missile target trajectory-calculations, avoid- ance maneuvers, and calculations regarding missile intercepting misses. There is a huge hole in NATO's defense! Today, NATO is at a crucial way-point, and the mem er countries must counter the vector-threat, if the alliance is not to become a paper tiger without claws! Stay focused and alert, folks! Fight terrorism in all its evil, and a very good day to you all.
The 5th Generation F35 Lightning II represents a new technology level, a completely new aggregation of weaponary, which mean a new engine, a new fuselage, a new cockpit, new weaponry and new software support. When all these elements are more or less disconnec- ted from each other, it's called a 4th generation and in general this is the situation today. In a combat situation the 5th generation comprises the individual equipment of the F35 as part of a new type of air offensive, an overall information-tactical system, a single information battle space, communicating with satellites in real-time in synch with all other elements and devices developed some fifteen years ago and adopted in the F-22 "Raptor".
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman sits in the cockpit of the F-35 stealth fighter jet, as Chief of Staff of the IAF Brig. Gen. Tal Kelman stands over him, during an unveiling ceremony in Fort Worth, Texas, on June 22, 2016
Due to high cost, the decisions taken by the President and the Congress to purchases the F-22 "Raptor" has now been terminated, and thus the amount of these advanced planes are now quite limited. Also some of the elements within the 5th Generation were not implemented in its entirety which was the real reason behind termination of this plane, I believe. And now it's the F-35's turn. It has been marred by high hardware and software overruns as well as high costs, which has delayed the production. All of the 100 F35's which has been made till now have been recalled because they lack the upgrades. L-Band Radar from Chinese and Russian planes can pick up the F35's stealth-like profile.

The 3M22 Zirkon has a similar path meant for striking aircraft carriers. Launching tests began on March 18th, 2016. The rocket Zirkon, which weights 5t, is launched from an aircraft and is equipped with a scramjet engine type, compressing air before it enters the combustion chamber. There is no stage compressor, using only dynamic compression, obtained via the intake device. The scramjet-engine gives the Zirkon rocket a speed of Mach 6.2, 6500 km/h, at a cruising altitude of 30,000m. The kinetic impact energy with the target is fifty times higher than available air-ship missiles today.

Other caves hold armored vehicles, including M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks and light arm- ored vehicles. Also stored are earth-moving equipment, generators, bulk fuel and bulk liquid systems, water production system, shelters, tents, netting and tool kits. Aircraft support equ ipment includes tow tractors, cranes, deicing equipment and arresting gear.
THE BALTIC STATES
The number of major exercises conducted by NATO fully encom-passing the land, sea and air power of its Allies in the Baltic Sea region should be increased. With Russia conducting "snap" military exercises numbering 30,000-80,000 troops proximate to Baltic borders since the onset of the Ukraine crisis, the previous NATO exercises that have taken place in the region, such as the 6,000 strong Steadfast Jazz in November 2013 now seem rather modest.
Larger exercises would serve to demonstrate NATO's credible commitment to deter one of the core aspects in Russia's application of "hybrid" warfare, namely the use of the presence of large-scale conventional forces close to the border of the target state as coercion.

"WE ARE WATCHING!"
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said Moscow was keeping an eye on the Sea Shield drills:
"At present, we are watching and monitoring everything that is happen- ing there. We hope that the exercise will be conducted in the safest poss- ible environment, without any challenges to Russia. In any case, we are ready to take on these challenges,"
he added. On January 31, US and Polish soldiers, alongside newly delivered American mili- tary hardware, also conducted joint drills in what has been described as the biggest US de- ployment in Europe since the end of the Cold War.
Moscow has repeatedly voiced concerns over NATO's military activity by its border. Russian PresidentVladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier this month:
"These actions threaten our interests, our security, especially as it concerns a third party building up its military presence near our borders."
In response, Russia stationed its most modern weaponry and armaments in its western regions, including the exclave of Kaliningrad, which shares a border with Poland and Lithu- ania, and is carrying out large-scale military drills on its home soil.

BOEING RC-135 Rivet Joint Large Reconnaissance Aircraft
The RC-135 Rivet Joint is a large, all-weather electronic surveillance aircraft based on the C-135 airframe. The Royal Air Force has purchased three RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft, current- ly being converted from KC-135R Stratotanker airframes to RC-135W standard at the L3 Communications facility in Greenville, Texas. The first aircraft is due for delivery in late 2013, with the final delivery expected in 2017.
A programme of continual upgrades has kept the USAF RC-135 fleet at the cutting edge of technology and relevant capability. The three RAF aircraft will continue to benefit from the upgrade programme in turn with USAF aircraft. The RC-135 Rivet Joint is equipped with a variety of sensors, allowing its multi- disciplined crew to intercept and exploit emissions ac- ross the electromagnetic spectrum, providing both strategic and tactical level intelligence.

Particulate Iodine-131 in the Atmosphere
I-131 Radioactive decay
I-131 decays with a half-life of 8.02 days with beta-minus and Gamma emissions. This nuclide of iodine has 78 neutrons in its nucleus, while the only stable nuclide, 127I, has 74. On decay- ing, 131I most often (89% of the time) expends its 971 keV of decay energy by transform-ing into the stable 131Xe (Xenon) in two steps with gamma decay following rapidly after beta decay,
The primary emissions of 131I decay are thus electrons with a maximal energy of 606 keV (89% abundance, others 248–807 keV) and 364 keV gamma rays (81% abundance, others 723 keV).Beta decay also produces an antineutrino, which carries off variable amounts of the beta decay energy. The electrons, due to their high mean energy (190 keV, with typical beta-decay spectra present) have a tissue penetration of 0.6 to 2 mm.

 "STANDARD MISSILE-3" THE WORLD'S FIRST ONLY LAND-SEA BALLISTIC MISSILE KILLER
Raytheon's missile-assembly facility,the missiles it produces, SM-3IIA and SM-6 near Huntswille, Ala.
The SM-3® interceptor is a defensive weapon used by the U.S. Navy to destroy short-to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats. This "hit-to-kill" interceptor uses a "kill vehicle" to collide with targets in space, a capability that's been likened to hitting a bullet with a bullet.The massive collision of the kill vehicle hitting its target obliterates the threat completely; explosives are not necessary. The resulting impact is the equivalent of a 10-ton truck traveling at 600 mph.

THE "SR19" ANTI-BALLISTIC MISSILE
Two of the three types of anti-ballistic American missiles of SM-3 Block 1b are THAAD and SR19, which are based on the same engine with solid fuel derived from one of the two engines of the second stage, missile intercontinental MX Peacekeeper, decommissioned, and Minuteman II. Engine produced by Aerojet General The thrust is 27,226 kg. The SR19 is heavier, has slower speed and takes on more fuel than the THAAD.
The SR19 rocket has a mass of 15t, and are stationed at Fort Greely AFB, Alaska, at Ronald Reagan Missile Defense Site, Vandenberg AFB California, and on the island of Hawaii. It is designed to hit ballistic missiles in cruise flight between 150 km and 500 km altitude.
"THAAD"
THAAD arives at Osan Air Base, South Korea: China ready to neutralise THAAD, retired PLA general says. The THAAD, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, missiles weigh 900 kg, and it also forms a ground-based shield against ballistic missiles, which is in the terminal phase of the flight and immediately before re-entering the atmosphere or during reentry, between altitude 80 km and 150 km.
The THAAD is a United States Army anti-ballistic missile system which is designed to shoot down short, medium, and intermediate range ballistic missile in their terminal phase using a hit-to-kill approach.THAAD was developed to counter Iraq's Scud missile attacks during the Gulf War in 1991. The missile carries no warhead, but relies on the kinetic energy of impact to destroy the incoming missile. A kinetic energy hit minimizes the risk of exploding con- ventional warhead ballistic missiles, and nuclear tippet ballistic missiles will not detonate upon a kinetic energy hit.
"TOMAHAWK" WINGED CRUISE MISSILE
The Tomahawk missile family consists of a number of subsonic, jet engine-powered missiles designed to attack a variety of surface targets. Although a number of launch platforms have been deployed or envisaged, only sea (both surface ship and submarine) launched variants are currently in service.

The Tomahawk has a modular design, allowing a wide variety of warhead, guidance, and range capabilities. The Tomahawk project was originally awarded to Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland by the US Navy. James H. Walker (ME Kansas State 1942) led a team of scientists to design and build this new long range missile. The original design with advanced technology is still used today.
"AGM-88E HARM"
The AGM-88E HARM can detect, attack and destroy a radar antenna or transmitter with minimal aircrew input. The proportional guidance system that hones in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile's nose. A smokeless, solid-propellant, buster-sustainer rocket motor propels the missile at speeds over Mach 2.
"AEGIS" AT DEVESELU, ROMANIA
The third antiballistic interceptor, SM-3 Block 1b, is based on US AEGIS ships at Deveselu in Romania, is aimed at striking ballistic missiles in flight cruising at heights between 100 and 300 km. SM-3 Block 1b weighs 1.5t has three solid rocket stages, the first being Aerojet MK 72, which constitutes the third stage of US intercontinental ballistic missile Minuteman-II and develops only 15,600 kg. Besides the three types of ballistic missiles, anti-aircraft long-range Patriot missiles can hit ballistic descent path below the altitude of 35,000 m.

Google To Fix Chrome's High RAM Usage Using Windows 10 2004 Feature
Yesterday, Microsoft said that it has managed to fix memory issues in the new Chromium-based Edge with the help of the Segment Heap memory management system in Windows 10 May 2020 Update.
Now, it appears Google Chrome will follow suit. In a new commit, a Chrome engineer said that the team would switch to Segment Heap, which would "save hundreds of MB in the browser and Network Service utility, among others, on some machines."
Despite being the most popular browser on the planet, Google Chrome is infamous for using up massive amounts of PC memory. While Google has put in place certain practices to reduce Chrome's memory-hogging nature, the problem still exists.
However, switching to "Segment Heap instead of the Legacy heap" may be the Holy Grail that would eventually solve one of the biggest problems of Chrome users.
Windows 10 Segment Heap Memory Management formerly worked for a few Modern apps and a handful of system apps. In the latest Windows 10 2004 update, memory management improvements have been extended to Win32 applications. This would enable several 3rd-party developers to manage memory in their apps more efficiently.
Google says it will begin working on the feature implementation once the team builds Chrome with Windows 10 Build 19041.0 SDK. However, they are unable to proceed for now due to some "mysterious build failures."
We could enable it now, but that would cause build warnings. Therefore enabling it is blocked on a switch to the Windows 10.0.19041.0 SDK which is currently blocked on some mysterious build failures
Microsoft said it was able to reduce the RAM usage of the Edge browser by 27% with the help of Windows 10 2004 latest feature. If Google Chrome manages to reduce this much of memory usage, it will be like heaven on earth for its users.
