The unsolved mystery of the Russian nuclear submarine explosion in 2000
In the summer of 2000, in the deep waters of the Arctic Ocean, a nuclear submarine known as the "aircraft carrier's nemesis" exploded twice in 135 seconds, killing 118 submarine personnel. The tragedy of the Kurtis became a microcosm of the general situation of the military at that time, ten years after the great changes in the Soviet Union. Not only did Russia refuse a multi-national rescue during the golden hour, but no official report has been made, so we can only make reasonable guesses about the causes and consequences.

Global Suicide: Humanity, Especially in U$, Is Unfit to Survive
Humanity is not going to make it. We could if we wanted to . . . buuuuttt . . . we’re not willing to lift our butts long enough to pull it off. Unrestrained greed, self-interest, & little that resembles logic are the main factors driving human animosity towards others, whether they be one’s brother, neighbor, or distant international foe. Putting the emphasis on our differences rather than on our commonalities & mutual needs is a primary driver for sending us over the edge into the chaotic void we are witnessing.

Americans Equating Any Level of Socialism as Stalinism Is First Class Brainwashing
Photo by Andrey A few years ago I was reading The Proud Tower by Barbara Tuchman. Detailing the anarchist movements that swept the world at the turn of the century, violence played out against the backdrop of enormous gaps between rich and poor. The United States was not immune as William McKinley could attest. So I couldn’t help wonder how the vast poor allowed the rich to get away with this in a country that voted. Well, if you consider how easily Barack Obama is sold as a socialist, the explanation is pretty straightforward.

The Informal Sector of the Cochabamian Economy
Cochabamba is the fourth-largest city in Bolivia and is located in a valley in the Andes mountain range. In Owners of the Sidewalk: Security and Survival in the Informal City, Daniel Goldstein writes about the people who had to relocate to the city from the agricultural lands and mining towns due to the effects of neoliberal reforms.

(Goldstein 2016, 37). According to Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age, by Kenneth Guest, “ Stratification and inequality became more pronounced in industrialized capitalist economies over recent centuries, and this uneven development appears to be accelerating under forces of globalization” (Guest 2020, 345). As the nation globalized, the city’s informal economy grew.
