"A Former ‘Star Wars’ Engineer Weighs In on the ‘Golden Dome’"

"in 1993 a New York Times reporter revealed that the army had staged a 1984 missile defense test by planting a remote-controlled explosive on the target missile so that it would blow up whether or not the interceptor actually hit it"

A spox for #Russia said #Trump’s #GoldenDome would force talks between Moscow & DC about #nuclear #arms control in the foreseeable future.

Primarily seeking to defend against a growing arsenal of conventional & nuclear #missiles from US adversaries Russia, #China & smaller states such as #NorthKorea & #Iran, the Golden Dome plan is a revival of #ColdWar-era President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), aka the "Star Wars" program.

#EU will provide emergency funds to help keep #RadioFreeEurope afloat after US cuts

May 20, 2025

"The European Union agreed Tuesday to provide emergency funds to help keep Radio Free Europe afloat after the Trump administration stopped grants to the pro-democracy media outlet, accusing it of promoting a news agenda with a liberal bias.

"Radio Free Europe / #RadioLiberty started broadcasting during the #ColdWar. Its programs are aired in 27 languages in 23 countries across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. Its lawyers have been fighting the administration in court.

"EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc’s foreign ministers had agreed to a 5.5-million-euro ($6.2 million) contract to 'support the vital work of Radio Free Europe.' The 'short-term emergency funding' is a 'safety net' for #IndependentJournalism, she said.

"Kallas said the EU would not be able to fill the organization’s funding gap around the world, but that it can help the broadcaster to 'work and function in those countries that are in our neighborhood and that are very much dependent on news coming from outside.' "

Today in Labor History May 20, 1956: In Operation Redwing, the U.S. dropped the first airborne hydrogen bomb over the Bikini Atoll. From May to July, the U.S. detonated 17 nuclear devices in the Bikini and Enewetak atolls. They tested both thermonuclear and fission weapons. They cynically named each of the tests after a different Native American tribe, and then, in the following years, went on to devastate indigenous lands within the U.S. mainland through nuclear mining, testing and waste storage.

Between 1946 and 1958, the U.S. detonated 67 nuclear devices in the Marshall Islands. According to anthropologist Holly Barker, it was the equivalent of 1.6 Hiroshima-sized bombs dropped on the islands every day for 12 years. As a result of these tests, the U.S. completely vaporized three of the Bikini Islands and polluted huge swaths of water and land, poisoning countless indigenous people there. Many starved to death because they were relocated to places that couldn’t produce enough food. Each resident now receives a paltry $550 annually from the U.S. government to cover medical treatment related to radiation poisoning.

#FlagstaffAZ: Radioactive #Uranium Truck Driver in Medical Distress: Endangerment on the Haul Route

by Shannonlynn Chester,,May 8, 2025, #CensoredNews

Excerpt: "The Navajo Nation, law enforcement and the mainstream media downplayed the risks today to Navajos and everyone on the haul route.

"This comes after Navajo President #BuuNygren cut a secret deal with #EnergyFuels for the uranium transport trucks to pass through the Navajo Nation.
Nygren released a statement about the sick truck driver. Nygren said the Navajo Nation EPA coordinated with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office and the Flagstaff Fire Department. The Fire Department conducted radiation scans on the truck and said that the radiation levels at the location were within safe limits.

"Three other uranium ore trucks at the designated inspection site were allowed to pass and continue to the White Mesa Mill, Nygren said.

Energy Fuels notified the Navajo Nation EPA at 11:40 a.m. that the fourth truck -- whose driver was sick -- returned back to the Pinyon Plain Mine, Nygren said.
Coconino County Sheriff Bret Axlund said the truck driver had "flu-like symptoms" and refused medical transport from the site. An ambulance was called to the site, just north of Flagstaff, in the area of Hwy 89 and Townsend Winona Road.

"Earlier, the Navajo Nation Council said President Nygren entered into a secret deal with Energy Fuels, without the knowledge or consent of the #NavajoCouncil, to allow the uranium ore trucks to pass through the Navajo Nation from the #GrandCanyon mine enroute to Utah.

"More than 500 uranium mines and scattered radioactive waste remain on the Navajo Nation, which the U.S. never cleaned up after the #coldwar, resulting in widespread cancer for Dine'."

The United States was not “protecting” Europe, but rather implicitly involving itself in any crisis with the Soviet Union, and now Russia, which might arise there.

The Russians have the advantage of being a single player and may kick into the open goal presented by NATO.

"#Putin asks #XiJinping to build factories in #Russia: #China refrains for now"

pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/05

The cringe, it hurts

25 years into the new century, Putin, the complete imbecile trying to rebuild the #USSR via ethnofascism, and #Trump, the complete imbecile destroying the #USA #economy because "woke" hurts morons' feelings, have made both previously preeminent powers of the last century's #ColdWar impotent laughing stocks

Congratulations China:

It's your century now

Next stop in our NLP timeline are the (mostly) futile tries of machine translation during the cold war era. The rule-based machine translation approach was used mostly in the creation of dictionaries and grammar programs. It’s major drawback was that absolutely everything had to be made explicit.

Slide from Information Service Engineering lecture 02, Natural Language Processing 1. Title: NLP Timeline The indicated era on the timeline is 1954-1966. On the right side of the timeline, an AI generated picture of a military parade with mobile missiles in front of the Kremlin basilica is sketched, overlapped with the following machine translation example: English: "The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak". This sentence was automatically translated to Russian. Then, it was translated back again into English with the following result: "The vodka was good, but the meat was rotten." The text left of the timeline says: 1954 - 1966 Futile cold-war motivated efforts in rule-based machine translation from Russian to English. The rule-based machine translation approach was used mostly in the creation of dictionaries and grammar programs. It’s major drawback was that everything had to be made explicit.
