The Reason Why Italy Deploys its Fighters in Lithuania
by Manlio Dinucci (il Manifesto, 1 September 2020) In Europe civil air traffic is expected to drop by 60% this year compared to 2019, due to Covid-19 restrictions, putting more than 7 million jobs at risk.

PFAS is more prevalent in food than water
There could be more PFAS contamination in this seafood platter than drinking water containing 70 parts per trillion of the toxins every day for 80 years.

PFAS and The Bomb
Inextricably linked existential threats to humanity. by Pat Elder In Greek mythology, the tale of Daedalus and his son, Icarus provides a lesson that humanity has never learned. Daedalus created wings from feathers and wax. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun for fear that the wax would melt. Icarus took off, exhilarated with the invention, and soared exuberantly toward the sun. His wings fell apart, and Icarus fell to his death. Remarkable technologies may escape … Continue reading →
Dedos en los gatillos, la OTAN nuclear y una reconstrucción mejor
22.07.2020 – Boston, EE.UU. – Joseph Gerson Con nuestros periódicos y reportajes centrados en la explosión mortal de infecciones de covid-19 en todo el país, y Trump inflando la supuesta amenaza de China en su esfuerzo desesperado por evitar su derrota en Noviembre, las armas nucleares de EE.UU. y la OTAN que se acumulan en Europa han pasado desapercibidas.
