Nearly 2,000 Dead In Myanmar Amid Military-Led Ethnic Cleansing Of Rohingya
Aung Su Kyi, the leader of Myanmar, has been accused of “legitimizing genocide” against the country’s Rohingya Muslims, despite being a Nobel Prize laureate. Her country’s military has massacred thousands of Rohingya, leading some to call for Kyi’s Nobel Prize to be revoked.
The horrific ethnic cleansing and genocide being perpetrated against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar by military and paramilitary forces left at least 400 dead following the most recent attacks. The total number killed has been estimated to be nearly 2,000, with some Rohingya activists claiming an even higher death toll.

Is Political Decentralization the Only Hope for Western Civilization?
A couple of recent articles have once more made the case, at least implicitly, for political decentralization as the only viable path which will begin to solve the seemingly insurmountable political, economic, and social crises which the Western world now faces.
In the last few months, over 3,000 millionaires have fled the hopelessly corrupt and bankrupt state of Illinois. When asked, 47% of Illinoisans would like to leave the state which, over the last decade, has seen over a half million of its residents flee. Naturally, this exodus has exacerbated the Land of Lincoln’s financial straits to catastrophic levels.*
A report published by the American Legislative Exchange Council predicted that the tax flight which is occurring in Illinois will similarly take place in the coming years in high-tax blue states such as California and New York. The 2017 Trump tax reform will accelerate this process since under the new legislation the amount of state income tax that can be deducted on federal tax returns has been capped at $10,000 per family. The authors of the report wrote: “. . . high [income] earners in places with hefty income taxes – not just California and New York, but also Minnesota and New Jersey – will bear more of the true cost of their state government.”**
The not too subtle consequences of the new tax code will mean an even greater exodus of taxpayers out of blue states which will shrink state revenues even further and create job losses across the board.
While those who want to escape the crushing burden of individual state taxation and regulation, if they have the means and desire to do so, can move to more favorable climes, no such option exists (except the drastic step of expatriation) to escape federal tyranny. Yet, the same benefits which occur from a multiple of individual states and jurisdictions would be present if the various nation states which dominate the globe were broken up into smaller political units.
While the authors of the cited articles see the advantage that multiple states have where one can “vote with his feet,” the same logic can be applied to central governments across the planet who are, on the whole, more tyrannical than local jurisdictions. More political bodies would not only provide sanctuary for the oppressed, but it would tend to keep a check on tyranny among existing states.
Political decentralization is a far greater deterrent to government largesse than constitutions, elections, or finding the “right person” to “fix things.” The events of the last few weeks in the realm of US foreign policy once again demonstrate that trusting candidates to fulfill campaign promises is naive, to say the least.
To get to this goal, all and every secession movement, even of a Leftist bent, should be supported, whether they are nations that want to “exit” from larger political units, such as Great Britain from the EU, or within nation states themselves such as California in the US. All should be encouraged.
Of course, the case for decentralization has to be made on ideological grounds. The Left, most likely, will not be a natural ally for secession, nor are conservatives, most of whom are under the spell of “nationalism” and “restoring the Republic.” Yet, the Right offers the best opportunity to build a secession movement and needs to be convinced that the preservation of the nation state will only lead to the complete triumph of liberalism.
Secession would also necessitate the breakup of the nation-state’s monopoly of money and banking. Numerous political divisions would be more likely to adopt a single monetary unit – gold – which would guarantee financial stability rather than the debt ridden paper-money system now in place.
Next to the outbreak of World War III, immigration is the greatest threat to what remains of Western Civilization. Smaller political units would be far better to control their borders than reliance on a central authority which can be easily manipulated from outside agents.
The solution to the myriad of social and economic problems that confront Western societies will not come about from a “reform” of the nation state, but through its dissolution. Only through a world made up of hundreds, if not thousands, of Lichtensteins, Hong Kongs, Monacos, confederacies, free cities, etc., will these crises be hoped to be resolved.

Counterdrug Programs Come With Increased Drug Production - Where Does The Money Go?
Two reports published today point to some curious phenomenon. Immensely expensive U.S. counter-narcotics efforts go along with massive increases in drug production.
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction report Counternarcotics: Lessons from the U.S. Experience in Afghanistan finds:
From fiscal year (FY) 2002 through FY 2017, the U.S. government spent roughly $8.62 billion on counternarcotics efforts in Afghanistan.
…
From 2002 to 2017, Afghan opium poppy cultivation soared. In 2002, cultivation estimates ranged from 31,000 to 74,000 hectares, compared to 328,000 hectares in 2017. Opium production also rose to historic levels, from approximately 3,400 metric tons in 2002 to roughly 9,000 metric tons in 2017. No counterdrug program undertaken by the United States, its coalition partners, or the Afghan government resulted in lasting reductions in poppy cultivation or opium production.
The Washington Post reports on the newly installed U.S. stooge in Colombia: A conservative ‘D.C. Colombian’ wins his country’s presidency":
BOGOTA, Colombia — Conservative Ivan Duque captured Colombia’s presidency Sunday, bringing to power a U.S.-educated 41-year-old whose victory promises an aggressive new era in the drug war and could upend a historic peace deal that ended Latin America’s longest running insurgency.
…
Duque’s win could herald a return to more forceful tactics. The United States has spent $10 billion in two decades fighting coca growth here — only to find it higher now than at the launch of the campaign.
Since its creation the CIA was involved in drug production and trafficking. In many cases this appears to have been a 'side effect' of other operations like running the rightwing 'Contras' against a leftish government in Nicaragua. The contras needed money which drug smuggling provided. The CIA helped along to achieve the 'higher purpose' - the overthrow of the Nicaraguan government. I am not aware of any sound evidence that shows that the CIA reaped financial profits from drug dealing.
There is no such excuse for counternarcotics programs. There is no 'higher purpose' to be achieved. But the sums spent on these programs are so big now, and their effect so counterproductive, that one must assume that the money is not used as intended. Layers of contractors will be involved in crop eradication programs in Afghanistan and elsewhere. These may cost a few millions per year. But the effects are so minor that one can not imagine how several billions of dollars get spent on them.
I find no accounting for these programs. Where does all that money go? Who is profiting from these?

WTH…? IG Withholding Additional Anti-Trump Text Messages From Lisa Page to Andrew McCabe From Public
Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed in a Congressional hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday there are additional anti-Trump text messages from Lisa Page to Andrew McCabe that have been withheld from the public.
Inspector General Horowitz admitted in a Congressional hearing there are additional anti-Trump text messages from FBI lawyer Lisa Page to her boss Andrew McCabe that have been withheld from the public.
Horowitz also disclosed there are additional text messages between the FBI lovebirds Lisa Page and Peter Strzok that still have not been recovered.
Paul Sperry reported: BREAKING: Lisa Page sent similarly anti-Trump text messages to her boss Andrew McCabe, yet the IG has withheld these texts from the public. Why?

nature of the retroviral sequences a follow up strategy using PCR, sequencing, and bioinformatics was developed. The analysis revealed that the unexpected RD114 sequences detected by PLEX-ID in canine cell lines were associated with endogenous gammaretroviruses . . . Our analysis showed that different viruses were detected by using different technologies. These results emphasize the need to use a combination strategy for virus detection in evaluating the safety of biologicals or screening patient samples.”
This research strongly supports a combination strategy to detect novel viruses in biological products like the cell substrates used in vaccines as well as when investigating suspect disease populations who may be suffering from some type of viral infection. http://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/6/5/1876/htm

How Can Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-Related Virus (XMRV) Contamination be Prevented? – This article published in February of 2014 in the journal of the American Society of Microbiology addresses the question of how to prevent both laboratory contamination by XMRV as well as prevent the infection of lab workers. The article describes XMRV as a lab creation which is capable of “infecting human cells and integrating its genome into that of the host. Therefore, XMRV virions and XMRV-infected cells are considered as biosafety level 2 organisms.” http://aem.asm.org/content/early/2014/02/10/AEM.04064-13.abstract

Origins of the Endogenous and Infectious Laboratory Mouse Gammaretroviruses – Successful interspecies transmissions can produce disease in new hosts that are unprepared to resist unfamiliar and potentially pathogenic agents. Xenotropic MuLVs (X-MuLVs) were later isolated by Levy and Pincus from the NZB mouse strain [2], and were termed “xenotropic” because they could infect cells of multiple species, such as human, rabbit and cat, but were unable to infect cells of the mice from which they were isolated. While these early observations suggested that P-MuLVs have the broadest host range of the MuLV subgroups, more recent studies have shown that X-MuLVs can actually infect more mammalian species than P-MuLVs, and that X-MuLVs but not P-MuLVs are capable of infecting all wild mouse taxa [8] (Table 1).http://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/7/1
