A Crackdown Remake Would Be Better Than a Crackdown 4
When gamers think about the Xbox, they often think about Halo and Gears of War. At one point, there was a third series that was pretty popular during the Xbox 360 era. This series was known as Crackdown, and it brought players to a sandbox playground where they had the freedom to do what they wanted. The game prided itself on the open-ended nature of its gameplay and was critically acclaimed for it. Crackdown would go on to sell millions of copies and kickstart a video game franchise that did not live up to the original title.
Since 2019, the Crackdown franchise has not had any new content. After Crackdown 3 was met with mixed reception, fans of the franchise have been left wondering whether a fourth entry will ever happen. If Xbox Game Studios were to make another game then maybe it should go backward instead of forward. It has been 15 years since the first entry in the series was released, and it is the perfect candidate for a full-on remake. Instead of crafting a fourth entry in the series to try and bring it back, Xbox should take the first game and modernize it for the Xbox Series X era.
The History of the Crackdown Franchise
The Crackdown series began in 2007 and was developed by Realtime Worlds. It brought players to the fictional city of Pacific City and gave them control of a biologically enhanced Agent. They were tasked with defeating the three crime lords and their syndicates, and they could do it however they wanted. The game was a non-linear experience and players were able to choose how they wanted to complete their missions or activities. The gameplay had them running and jumping through a large sandbox as they destroyed anyone that opposed them.
After some internal struggles and delays, Crackdown 2 hit store shelves in 2010. This time it was developed by Ruffian Games and took place 10 years after the original title. The game played pretty much the same as its predecessor except instead of tracking down and killing crime syndicates, players had to combat a virus and a terrorist group known as the Cell. The player was given more power to play with, but it did not do enough to differentiate itself from the first game. It was met with mixed reviews and some felt that it was unneeded. The series then went on ice for a little while.
Crackdown 3 came out in 2019 and was developed by Sumo Digital. The game was announced back in 2016 and was supposed to usher in the return of the franchise, but after many delays, it released to mixed reviews. The game introduced players to the brand-new city of New Providence and had them take out the criminal syndicates in the city. It saw the introduction of a new mode called Wrecking Zone which allowed players to destroy the entire city, but the mode has since been abandoned. The game was criticized for not innovating enough and also felt like an unneeded sequel.
A Crackdown Remake is the Right Call
One of the major complaints of the Crackdown sequels was that they felt unneeded and did not do enough to innovate the franchise. Instead of moving forward with a fourth entry that may receive the same complaints, Xbox Game Studios should consider just remaking the original cult classic game. It does not have to try to break any new ground or add innovative changes to the franchise; it just has to remake the original with modern-day mechanics. Doing so could bring the series back into the spotlight and give players some old-school gaming mayhem to indulge in.
A remake of Crackdown could take the basic premise of the original game and update it for today's hardware. The Xbox Series X/S allow for much larger games than the Xbox 360 did, and the remake could take advantage of that. When giving players the ability to run through the streets of Pacific City as an ultra-powerful agent, they will spend hours causing mayhem. Microsoft should take what it learned from Crackdown 3 and plunge those resources into a full-on remake, and the studio may have a hit on its hands.
In the age of remakes, it would only make sense to give Crackdown the remake treatment. The series has struggled to innovate itself, and as such, the games have not been received well. Instead of moving forward, Xbox Game Studios should look back at the original Crackdown and just do that again; it is the best way to continue the classic franchise.
Crackdown 3 is available on PC and Xbox One.

The insurance industry, which was previously steady and predictable, is no longer so. Growth without losing profitability is difficult, climate change is affecting certain risk profiles irreversibly, distribution needs have become genuinely multichannel, and customers expect items tailored specifically to them.
Meanwhile, technology has continued to evolve at a breakneck pace, and a new player environment threatens to disrupt consumer acquisition. Private equity firms, asset managers, and other newcomers are moving swiftly to profit on sector change, with considerable focus and discipline.
Insurance News and Insights: Franklin Mutual Insurance Group Selects Guidewire Cloud to Enhance Customer Experience for Business Growth
Furthermore, when consumers are deciding on an insurance choice, they go through a lengthy process of obtaining information from websites, getting comments from user forums and opinion sites, and searching social media for other people's experiences with a company. In today's highly competitive purchasing environment, this represents a crowded and complicated path-to-purchase for insurance providers attempting to spark buyers' interest.
How can insurance businesses stand out while focusing and maximizing marketing resources when consumers have more information and options at their fingertips than ever before? They must invest in digital marketing in a smart, efficient, and data-driven manner to remain competitive and avoid losing money by blindly following money-backed corporations with more flexible budgets.
They greatly boost their chances of closing a transaction if they can "divert" consumers' attention at the correct time on their journey and invest in the proper places to assure ROI — positioning themselves front and center as the best choice over a competitor's.
Here are three suggestions for for insurance businesses to achieve this:
Include all Shopper Data Sets
Some data sets are easy to come by. Insurance businesses, on the other hand, must verify that they are considering all options.
As a result, the insurance businesses should look for solutions that can assess all data sources, including unstructured data such as mobile and desktop browsing behavior, social activity, and so on. With this information, they'll be able to get a complete picture of insurance shoppers, and they'll be able to nurture leads in a more concentrated way, reducing the likelihood that they'll interact – and ultimately convert – with a rival.
Tie Conversions to Early Funnel Activities
When consumers are just starting out on their search, one of the most effective ways to secure their interest is to do so before they decide where to get their insurance product. This needs an understanding of the first motivators that lead consumers along the path to purchase, as well as the capacity to link them to the final conversion and do so in a personalized manner for each segment. Insurance providers can intervene at the proper stage with information consumers seek by identifying the early funnel activities that generate sales, such as consumer behaviors, tendencies, and trigger points.
Use Prescriptive Analytics to Your Advantage
Marketers in the insurance industry must change their mindset — there is no more need for "throwing spaghetti on the wall." This implies shifting from reactive monitoring of competitor and market data to proactively predicting outcomes and prescribing actions using tools like real-time AI-driven analytics. They may identify what they need to do to improve ROI by improving conversions and lowering acquisition expenses using these recommendations.
An insurance company can establish connections using analytics technologies that can address early-funnel activities connected to conversion and complete data sources. Here are a couple examples of this in action:
Home insurance
Consumers who are relocating to a different city or state due to a new job purchase home insurance over the course of a 1.5-week journey on average, with an average of 49 interactions across multiple touchpoints. Brands that are present on Valuepenguin.com, Moneyunder30.com, and Moneygeek.com, among other impactful trigger points as part of the consideration and comparison phases of the funnel, have a five times higher probability of converting consumers with home insurance in comparison to brands that aren't present on these.
Also, there is a six-week period before purchasing home insurance, as part of moving to a new home, in which this segment is actively converting in adjacent categories such as taking a mortgage and investing in aspects around home improvements. There is an opportunity to meet this segment on the critical touch points including: Themortgagereports.com, Gobankingrates.com, and Upgradedhome.com, among others, as part of their pre-home insurance funnel activity. Meeting consumers in the funnels that are highly correlated to converting with home insurance in terms of time proximity, can increase conversion by 2.8 times on average.
Life insurance
There is a correlation between expecting a newborn and getting life insurance.
Parents that are in the pregnancy period are more likely to get life insurance before the birth of their newborn, a period of time when they are heavily interacting with other aspects of getting their home ready for their new child — purchasing products such as baby monitors, cribs, bassinets, strollers and more.
There is an opportunity to meet these consumers at the early stages of their path to purchase of life insurance on websites such as Money.com, Insurancequotes.com, Consumersadvocate.org and Thesavvycouple.com, among others. Brands that are active on these impactful trigger points have a 3.5 times higher probability of converting this segment of consumers.
In addition, there is the opportunity to meet this segment in the funnels of other products they are purchasing in close proximity with life insurance. This segment has 5.6 times more interactions with trigger points such as Fatherly.com, Cafemom.com, Familyeducation.com, and Todaysparent.com, among others, in comparison to the rest of the population. Therefore, this presents an opportunity to target this high intent segment in close proximity to when they are converting with life insurance but have not yet formulated their opinion or begun their extensive research.
Recommended: What is a Fintech Company?
These are clearly very particular instances, but as the path to purchase becomes more complicated and consumer purchasing patterns become more difficult to follow, insurance providers need a means to grasp the nuances of customer journeys in order to influence buying decisions in their favor. With the removal of cookies, this becomes even more difficult.
Using the methods outlined above, insurance companies can determine how to segment consumers based on their online behaviors, fully comprehend their journey, and link specific behaviors to other product purchases, allowing them to nurture leads and target consumers in the most effective way possible – maximizing the ROI of marketing dollars rather than wasting resources and making guesses that aren't backed up by conversions.
Taking Action
It may appear difficult, but with the right tools, it isn't. While consumer data platforms (CDP) exist to provide insight into consumer behaviors, they only address part of the issue. Insurance businesses need "external" CDPs that can measure what customers do before, during, and after online transactions with them, as well as where they go to competitors.
Insurance providers can then act based on the information acquired from solutions like these to get the most out of their marketing investments. They may be able to do so while simultaneously adhering to increasingly strict privacy regulations, such as GDPR and the California Privacy Act.
If insurance businesses aren't already using accessible tools to gain visibility into online consumer habits and trigger points, they're missing out – and likely losing business to competitors.

Karol G loves spending time with her favorite date ever: her father. Oftentimes, the Colombian singer is seen at awards shows, concerts and other important events, accompanied by her team, her boyfriend and Puerto Rican artist Anuel AA, and her father, Guillermo Giraldo, aka Papa G.
A perfect example was at the 2018 Latin Grammys, where Karol nabbed best new artist and was joined onstage by her dad, who proudly held the golden phonograph. "Four years ago I posted on Instagram seeing J Balvin win his first Latin Grammy and saying that someday, whatever it takes, the Grammy had to be mine too," Karol opened her speech. After dedicating her win to her colleagues, team, record label and other women in the industry, Karol thanked her dad for being "99 percent behind the success of my career."
Giving her dad the same love and support, Mr. Giraldo, who's an artist and musician himself, will be the opening act for Karol G at her upcoming free concert on Saturday in Medellin, Colombia. "After many years of not stepping foot on a stage, you will see what I used to do when I was young and handsome," he said in an Instagram post.
But being a supportive dad is just one of the many reasons you should follow "Papa G" on social media. See why below:
1. He shares sweet memories of Karol
Papa G has amassed more than 220,000 followers on Instagram, where he loves to open up about Karol G's early days. One video shows a 5-year-old Karol singing and dancing to an intimate crowd as her father and his bandmates played music for her. In a similar post, he encourages other fathers to support their children in their dreams.
Hoy hace 23 años celebrábamos sus 5 añitos de vida y ya venía mostrando su talento,fue así como emprendidos nuestra tarea en conquistar el mundo en esta industria sin perder la fe e irrumpir en este genero machista que nadie creía que lograriamos.Hoy a sus 28 años tengo el honor de mostrar la otra cara de KAROLG ,ganadora de Grammy y nominada a 3 categirias en Premios lo Nuestro y 3 nominaciones a los Latin BILLBOARDS 2.019…HOY DIA DE SAN VALENTIN, COINCIDE CON EL DIA DE SU CUMPLEAÑOS KARITO Felicidades en tu día mi negrita,te amo ?
2. He's always chasing his dreams
Speaking of dreams, Karol G's dad said he paused his passion to support his daughters. Now that his girls are successful, Papa G has officially kicked off his music career. On July 17, the Colombian singer dropped an infectious salsa tune called "Pa Fuera."
3. He loves to dance
Clicking through his Instagram account, it turns out that Papa G also has great dancing skills. In a video promoting his song, Karol's dad is flaunting his salsa moves with none other than the family dog, Otto G.
Hoy ensayando la Coreografía de PA FUERA , con mi nieto @otto_kg , y motivados con toda mi gente. Felicitaciones a todos nuestros jugadores ,por la digna representación ,Fueron todos unos gladiadores y A la selección —-Chilena Mis Respetos ,Son Muy Grades, y que sigan Firmes—-??——
4. He has tons of celebrity friends
It's safe to say that with a collection of selfies with artists such as Lunay, Thalia, Natti Natasha, Carlos Vives and Juanes, Papa G is the coolest dad of all.
Que alegría ver cómo las nuevas generaciones vienen enriqueciendo y oxigenando la industria musical en el mundo , es alentador ver la juventud trabajando como guerreros e innovando con sus proyectos , para abrirse paso al éxito. UN CLARO EJEMPLO de que cada uno se lucha su meta, e aquí a mi parcerito @lunay , haciendo parte de los GRANDES DEL GÉNERO , animo tú también puedes ———— PA LANTE GUERREROS ??
5. He has a great relationship with Anuel AA
Papa G made a cameo in Anuel AA and Karol G's "Secreto" music video, which captured the great chemistry the men have together. Thanks to their videos and photos on Instagram, it's easy to see that Papa G gets along with his possible future son-in-law.
Los pequeños momentos mágicos, son aquellos donde compartes alegrías con los tuyos y a la vez recibes la admiración y el respeto de grandes exponentes de la industria musical por la espentaneidad y de como me lo disfruto Acá interpretando ADICTIVA del Jefe @daddyyankee y @anuel_2blea
6. He's a dad with swag
And let's not forget that even though his musical essence is tropical Colombian music, Papa G is a reggaetonero at heart. Not only does he like to dress urban but he also loves to sing the latest reggaeton jams at parties.

Power, housing gets biggest share in 2016 capital budget
The Federal Ministry of Finance says N1.2 trillion capital releases have been made in line with government's increased focus on capital expenditure in 2016.
The ministry's Director of Information Salisu Dambatta, in a statement on Thursday, said power, construction and housing sectors got the largest share of the releases made last year.
The federal government's ability to back capital releases of N1.2 trillion with cash was a reflection of its commitment to infrastructure development, he said.
According to him, the following releases were made: Power, Works and Housing received the largest allocation of N307.4 billion.
"This is followed by Defence and Security, N171.9 billion and Transport and Aviation, N143.12 billion.
"Other sectors were Agriculture and Water Resources; and Education and Health," it stated.
ALSO SEE: Solid minerals sector gets N30bn
Dambatta said the sectors accounted for 62 per cent of total capital released as the priority sectors to stimulate economic activities and job creation.
The capital releases excluded the capital element in releases to statutory agencies such as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Judiciary.
He said that the government was making effort to attract private capital to compliment government spending in the key areas.
Nigeria's 2016 Budget was based on a crude oil benchmark price of 38 dollars per barrel and a production estimate of 2.2 million barrels per day for 2016.
Capital Expenditure was estimated to be N1.8 trillion while non debt recurrent expenditure was N2.65 trillion.

Alcohol 120 Full Repack + [Activation] September 22
The answer is yes. As we all know, alcohol is a kind of stimulant (it's commonly used to increase energy levels and concentration) and can increase blood flow to the brain, helping it process information more effectively. In addition, alcohol is a depressant. This helps reduce stress, anxiety and other mood disorders. Having a few alcoholic drinks can also be beneficial for healthy living. It helps the body absorb certain nutrients.
A review published in the journal Internal Medicinefound that moderate alcohol consumption seems to be harmless for both the heart and the brain. The review examined the findings of 11 studies, including four long-term studies and three studies that tracked people for 10 or more years. All but one of the 11 studies concluded that drinking small amounts of alcohol — up to one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men — was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
The researchers found that moderate drinkers in these 11 studies were 25 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack or develop some of the common risk factors for heart disease. The benefit appeared to be greatest for those who drink at least one drink a day, which may equate to just two to three glasses of wine a day for women and four to five glasses of wine a day for men.
Similarly, drinking moderate amounts of alcohol can also improve mental health. Many experts and individuals from various fields believe moderate drinking helps people enhance their memory and attention span, boost their social skills and concentration, improve their confidence and motivation, and even help them live longer.
Alcohol has long been a treasured component in the nursing home food preparation. This includes; cooking, for a warm sense of security, comfort, and help.
Alcohol and the nursing home meal service (for nursing home residents) have traditionally been associated with the provision of social and emotional support to individuals. Yet many nursing home residents don't have to worry about their nutrition; neither do they need to be worried about the quality of the foods being served to them.
Alcohol 120 with Repack updated For Windows
If you are a person who likes to listen to music from time to time or someone who enjoys watching movies or watching a TV series, then Alcohol 120 with crack% 10 is an indispensable application that you can use to enhance the quality of your media.
CD or DVD drives
Not everyone might use the same brand of software program, but everyone needs to have backups of their media. If you have more than one hard drive, or more than one DVD drive, you need more than one way to store your data. If your computers drive fails, or if youre moving it to a new computer, you need a backup of your data. Imagine losing them all at once. Not only would it be a serious inconvenience but youd have to repurchase all the lost media. The people who rely on this software can greatly reduce such inconveniences, as they use it on multiple computers. There is no need for them to duplicate copies of each image.
You might think of Alcohol 120 with crack% as a program for a home user, but professionals who need to archive important media also use it. I used it in my small recording studio not so long ago, and I found it invaluable. I used Alcohol to burn DVDs and CDs, to back up my Xbox 360 HDD, and it helped me create various mixes. All was well when I was using the software, until I lost the hard drive.
How can one forget that? I have added it to the list of software I use in this yearís First Impressions article. As I said, I loved the program, and I couldnt help but write about it. Perhaps I was particularly impressed by the program because it is so simple, yet complex. It is a perfect example of the Microsoft philosophy. Everything is free, open, and accessible, and sometimes the complexity requires a little learning to use.
Once you have it installed on your PC, you can quickly and easily create and store backups of all your data. You can also import images from other programs, not just from other backups. Most important, its very easy to burn CDs/DVDs using Alcohol 120%. You dont need any fancy menus or backgrounds or anything else you can click, and you dont need to have much knowledge to get it started. Its also easy to backup your media. Just choose a drive and a folder, and Alcohol does the rest.
In all, Alcohol 120 with crack% is great software. In the long term, its a great backup application as well as a great standard DVD/CD copying software. I hope you enjoyed todayís First Impressions article.
Download Alcohol 120 Full nulled updated Win + Mac
Alcohol 120% is a piece of software written by a friend of mine. I'd estimate that he's been developing it for well over a year now. While the Mac version of this program is out of production, the Windows version continues to provide my aging PC with stability and performance that absolutely blew me away. Over the course of months of reading forums and blogs, some were talking about the next version of this software. I decided to say, "look, if you like what you see, and want to support the developer, why not give us a try for the first version?". This has been in my interests, but never had any interest in selling software. This was because I simply didn't have the time or the skills to create my own software. That's changed now. I'm planning on doing several more software for sale. One of which (if all goes well) is going to be a "tutor" of sorts. That means I will be writing programs that have tutorial features. You write the code, I write the tutorial on how to use the program. And, if everything works like it should, you'll be able to write the code from the tutorials and end up with a program that took me literally minutes to create.
Alcohol 120% for Windows is a welcome addition to my library of productivity software. There aren't too many of them, really, because it's not a market that I understand. Until now, I was only aware of a few, and most of them were.NET based. Alcohol 120 with crack% uses.NET, but its far from a.NET application. The same could be said for any.NET based application. I look at Alcohol as a cross-platform development utility. It means that it's portable to any OS as long as it can get the proper API for the data access. That is, making it *accessible* for any OS.
Alcohol is very powerful. But, I don't use it for that. The first thing that you'll notice is the way the UI is done. For some reason, it's built around having data tabs and screen sizes that are # of fields wide by # of rows high.

The importance of mobile marketing cannot be underestimated, so you need to be prepared to ensure that your app is optimized for any mobile device. In general, the earlier you provide detailed descriptions, the better your chances of converting that user to a sale.
This precise category is definitely mobile-friendly; it understands what you want. Put simply, alcohol isnt sold in a store. So be deliberate in your selection of product descriptions. Include both beverage names and recipe names when you write, to make mobile marketing efficient and cost effective. As with other product categories, its important to keep within 160 characters or less. Make sure not to forget to list any promotions or sales.
See how Munchers uses its description section to promote its beers. One of the first things customers see when they click the link is the description of the beers that are part of the collection.
Then the page itself loads with the beer bottles and a space to give them a thumbs up. The description of the beer as well as the space below it provide Munchers with another opportunity to provide a description of the beer. You have to remember that this isnt a product description written by a sales rep; its the description of what a customer could buy when they click that link.
The price is stated in the beginning of the description to make the line of potential customers immediately feel some kind of relation between themselves and this beer. The button in the lower right corner is the button a user would click to go to Munchers online store. It stands for Munchers lifestyle, and its a party at the park of what you can really enjoy with a beer. We can say that Munchers embraces users, and is not an online retailer with a huge database of products, but the opposite. Its a self-publishing website.

What's new in Alcohol? ?120%?
Since my last update and for the past 3 months my recovery has been going very well. I am a healthy, sober, happy, good AF and haven't felt this good in years. My weight loss has continued and I have lost about 10 pounds. I started a new medication this past January called Etravirine. This drug is used in combination with other HIV meds to help stop people from contracting the virus. I also started a new role at work that is about to start in June. I have not missed a day of work ever since I entered this role. I was very productive, did not have a personality conflict with any staff and have not been out sick. Being AF has also made my health very good. I lost one to my heart valve last year as well as one of my kidneys. I was under the impression that I would start having any major side effects because of the Etravirine and other HIV meds. Instead, I am actually feeling better than I have ever felt in my life! I am living a happy AF life and I am so grateful that I made this decision to end my life with alcohol. I am still working full time and I am now volunteering. I have pretty much cut out all the things that I used to drink. Cocktails, beer, red wine, vodka, Vodka, Wine, hard liquor. I really dont need those things in my life. I mean come on, the only thing that I used to drink regularly was vodka lol
I'm on day 122 now. I have never felt so good. I had a great time at the Pride Parade. I was very short at the awards ceremony and had to walk 2 blocks down by the water to catch the bus because I had over stuffed on gluten free cupcakes! My favorite treats are no longer available to me and that is ok because they wont be able to pass judgement against me. My new relationship with other alcoholics has been very fun and rewarding. We now like to go out and just have a good time. Its no longer a place to hide and drink because most of the people we are out with know our status. So, if you are sober AF and you feel like drinking, by all means go out, enjoy time with friends and family and have fun. But understand that if you are sober and you go out drinking the chances are that you have failed and you will not like the outcome.

Alcohol? ?120% Review
The only downside of the marker is that it doesnt accept ballpoint pens. Because you cant clean them. Cant count on them. But apart from that it looks great.
After youve tried it, you will definitely be sold and planning to buy a brush marker. It marks fast and its permanent marker. So you dont have to worry about it smearing.
The brand name of these markers is ohuhu.com They are acid-free and 100% natural. Its quite hard to find a natural marker, even though some brands claim it, but I guess its not 100% natural since this comes in a spray can. The battery lasts for one month. But they only give you 60 markers. Thats not enough for more than a few weeks.
I have to mention that when I bought them, I didnt know that you have to use the special batteries that they gave me. I thought batteries were optional. I had to throw mine away to recharge them. There is no way you can possibly find these batteries here in the US. Its quite annoying. The marker also comes in a non-pressurized case.
The brush marker wont print the line sizes perfectly. Sometimes it will print small lines and sometimes big. Thats how it is made. You cant avoid this if youre buying a product that will draw a line.
Nevertheless, if you buy a single marker, you will be happy with it. I have used it on all kinds of art projects that I have. It really works. You dont need a big project to use this one.
You can buy a couple of them to start with and see if you like it. Personally, I would recommend that you pick this one. Its something like this:

East Timor and the United Nations (Full Text, PDF, 18 pages, 33 KB)
East Timor has been buffeted for decades by the winds of world power politics. Indonesia's invasion across the border from West Timor in 1975 overran the political space created by the precipitous withdrawal of the colony's former Portuguese administrators. The small island state, fabled for its sandalwood and coffee, held little continued interest for Lisbon amidst the distractions of its own "Carnation Revolution." Jakarta found an excuse for the intervention by claiming the right to police a burgeoning civil conflict between socialist, pro-Portuguese, and pro-Indonesian factions in East Timor. And while Security Council members voted in the United Nations to condemn Indonesia's invasion, the attention given to East Timor dwindled over the years, confined to the General Assembly and non-governmental organizations.
During the Cold War, the West rationalized its commitment to the Suharto regime by viewing the regime as essential to regional stability and commerce, though this approach left the East Timorese to a difficult fate. Indonesia's assets of rubber and oil were attractive to the West, and its sea lanes are essential for passage from the Indian Ocean to the Sea of Japan for commercial shipping and naval deployments. East Timor is on the outer edge of the Indonesian archipelago, four hundred miles northwest of Australia, yet its northern coast abuts the deep-water Ombai-Wetar strait, the most secure route through the archipelago for nuclear submarines patrolling the Pacific as part of America's nuclear triad. In the midst of the war in Vietnam, and the accompanying heightened concerns about the influence of communism in the region, General Suharto's anti-communist policies were valued by Washington. The challenges of unifying an ethnically diverse population scattered among eleven major islands, and Jakarta's fears that the glue might come unstuck, persuaded the Western allies to tolerate Indonesian policies in East Timor. West Papua was transferred to Indonesian control in 1969, after a controversial U.N.-supervised "consultation" with local leaders. Jakarta also used its army to repress an ongoing rebellion on the island of Sumatra, in the Muslim oil-producing region of Aceh, adjacent to the strategic Straits of Malacca and a locus of significant western investment.
East Timor and the International Community
Even within the region, there was no obvious counterweight to Indonesia's heft in East Timor (Indonesia is the regional giant, with a population of 200 million). Australia occupied East Timor in World War Two as part of a defensive perimeter against Japan, but the island was quickly conquered by Japan. Australia's armed forces are modest, currently totaling 48,000 personnel, and its major population centers are 2500 miles away from East Timor, on the southern coast of the continent. The regional powers of Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, have not attempted to review the domestic policies of other member governments, and Japan has been disqualified from a more active role. Jakarta's continued repression of the East Timorese independence movement was unrelenting, but the "missing" population of East Timor was dismissed by Jakarta as a matter of changed census methodology, rather than the result of ill-treatment and counter-insurgency. International journalists were excluded from East Timor during most of the occupation, and the intelligentsia of the island were forced into exile or killed. Not even the Santa Cruz cemetery massacre in 1991, with the police killing of 271 demonstrators in front of international journalists, was enough to alter the sense that Indonesia would remain in control of East Timor for the foreseeable future. Indonesian foreign minister Ali Alatas continued to win admiration for his work on behalf of ASEAN in crafting the Cambodian peace accords and mediating regional conflicts over the Spratly Islands, and was even mentioned as a candidate for U.N. Secretary-General. Australia's interest in good relations with Indonesia extended to the development of natural gas and oil reserves in northern offshore areas, and in 1991, the Labor government in Canberra decided to enter into a joint production agreement with Jakarta for exploitation of reserves off East Timor's southern coast. Australia's treaty with Jakarta for development of the so-called "Timor Gap" formally recognized East Timor as an Indonesian province. (Australia used an argument of "effectivity" - that there was no foreseeable chance of reversing Indonesian control of the area.) The Timor Gap treaty crowned Australia as the first country in the world to recognize Indonesia's claim to the territory.
But a tone of realism was not limited to Indonesia's neighbors. In 1995, Portugal challenged Australia's role in the Timor Gap development as a violation of East Timor's sovereignty. The International Court of Justice in The Hague rather abruptly dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds, explaining that only Australia had agreed to the court's jurisdiction and that Indonesia's actions were the real matter for examination. Some observers found it ironic that an alleged invader could qualify as a necessary party for a suit to proceed. To be sure, in 1996, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the annual peace prize to Bishop Belo of East Timor and East Timorese leader Jose Ramos Horta, but the award was controversial in some quarters, and did not itself seem likely to alter Indonesia's determination to maintain control. Though Suharto resigned in 1998, the Indonesian military retained its prominent role, with guaranteed seats in the national Parliament and broad autonomy in the regional commands.
This background made it all the more remarkable that the United Nations found a new and constructive role to play in the East Timor tragedy. Under the aegis of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Portugal and Indonesia initiated quiet negotiations on the possibility of a "consultation" by ballot with the people of East Timor on the island's political future. Suharto's successor, President Habibie, remarkably decided to allow the Timorese people to take part in a secret ballot that would pose the alternatives of eventual independence or continued affiliation with Indonesia. Jakarta may have supposed that a new Timorese generation, reared in Indonesian schools and speaking Bahassa Indonesian, would see a link to Jakarta as a foregone conclusion. East Timor gained some economic benefit by supplying goods to West Timor. Jakarta also subsidized local medical services and invested heavily in the island's infrastructure of roads and facilities. When it appeared that the outcome of the ballot would be less clear than expected, Habibie's decision was resisted by the Indonesian military, the TNI, and the Indonesian intelligence services, known as Kopassus.
Concern about security for the balloting was voiced throughout the preparatory process. In the spring of 1999, a number of dreadful attacks were staged by pro-Jakarta militia members, including an infamous massacre of several hundred people in the Catholic Church of Suai, on the inaccessible southern coast. Another massacre in a church sanctuary was staged in the coastal town of Liquica, near the capital city of Dili, as if to suggest that nothing would be held sacrosanct, even the authority of the Catholic Church. But the United Nations mission preparing for the election did not have gendarme authority, and Indonesia's global importance blunted any impulse to push Jakarta to accept U.N. peacekeepers. The balloting revealed that a majority of 78.5 percent favored independence. But in the immediate aftermath of the vote, the pro-Jakarta militias engaged in a prolonged and vengeful rampage of extraordinary ferocity. The militias, acting in parallel throughout the island, torched every major public building, market, and school, burned down almost all dwelling houses, and carted off every visible kind of capital equipment, including automobiles, generators, and typewriters. Most Timorese fled to the hills, and approximately 200,000 were forced to board buses and ferries taking them over the border to West Timor. At least several hundred people were killed. Any rational motive for this act of revenge was hard to discern, since the public results of the election made it improbable that Indonesia could contemplate retaining control. But many observers concluded that the Indonesian military and intelligence services helped to organize the militia activity as a demonstration to other populations in Indonesia that a push for independence would bring a future of poverty and deprivation.
The United Nations has been appropriately criticized in other settings for failing to deploy the armed force necessary for the defense of civilian populations. This criticism can be levied against the U.N.'s role in the Bosnian war, where 200,000 civilians died from 1992 through 1995. It can be applied to Rwanda, where a small U.N. peacekeeping force was withdrawn in the midst of the Hutu genocide against the Tutsi in 1994, and up to one million Tutsi were subsequently killed. The western intervention in Kosovo in 1999 is perhaps the exception, mounting a military campaign to end the Serb destruction of Albanian villages and the forced deportation of ethnic Albanians. But the modality for that decision and intervention was through NATO, not the United Nations. The Security Council was blocked by the threat of a Russian veto, and the Secretary-General's concession that diplomacy had a better chance of success if backed by force brought wide criticism from Asian and some African members.
The United Nations' response to the security crisis in East Timor may be grouped with these instances. Though repeated concerns were relayed to President Habibie, U.N. officials did not push for any more vigorous response. The Indonesian military, in the person of General Wiranto, assured the U.N. that it would guarantee security for the election, and when the rampage began, disputed the extent of the damage. Australia was the only viable source of immediate military assistance, and, though the conservative government in Canberra supported the Timorese consultation, Australia feared that Indonesia would treat any forcible intervention as an act of war. Finally, in early September, the Security Council sent a diplomatic mission to Jakarta and East Timor, and persuaded President Habibie to invite an Australian peacekeeping force to restore order. The Australian "INTERFET" force landed in late September 1999, with a handover of power from Indonesian authorities, and quickly quelled the violence. A multinational U.N. peacekeeping force was later authorized, retaining a core of Australian and New Zealand troops, together with personnel from Portugal, Brazil, and more than two a dozen other countries.
The withdrawal of Indonesia from the island has also left the United Nations with the unprecedented task of attempting to equip a country for independence in a compressed period. In 1993, Jose Ramos Horta proposed that East Timor should have a transitional period of up to seven years before independence. The mandate of the United Nations, following the militia violence, has been to reconstruct a public administration in a far shorter time, and under more difficult circumstances. There are almost no East Timorese trained in administration, and few with a college or professional school education. During the 25-year occupation, Indonesian civil servants held all senior administrative positions in East Timor, and they fled the country with the retreat of the Indonesian army. Some East Timorese held minor positions, but many who worked with the Jakarta regime are wary of returning and remain in West Timor as refugees. The business community in East Timor was predominantly Chinese, and almost all have left. The Timorese who went into exile during the occupation have established lives in Australia and elsewhere, and it is difficult to induce people to return to an uncertain situation and depressed economy.
East Timor has a wrecked infrastructure, as a result of the militia rampage, and the simple necessities of housing materials and school supplies are difficult to obtain. It is not at all clear how to build a viable economy for its one million people. Per capita income, even before the militia violence, was only $400 per year. Coffee cultivation offers limited employment, and as a labor pool for light manufacture, East Timor's remote location and lack of transportation facilities present sharp obstacles. Tourism is also hindered by the distance from Jakarta and Australia's major cities, and the island's small size, as well as by the established international reputations of Indonesian islands such as Bali and Sulawesi. The political optimism of East Timor has been dampened by local realization that an international presence does not promise international standards of living.
The contrast with the prosperity of the international community is also galling to the Timorese. At the center of the harbor in Dili, the long white government building formerly used by the Indonesians now houses U.N. administrators, restyled as the U.N. Transitional Administration in East Timor, or "UNTAET." The 8000 soldiers of the multinational peacekeeping force and approximately 1400 international civilian police hired by the United Nations add to the complement of international non-Timorese who have money to spend and Land Rovers to drive. Initially, UNTAET had no East Timorese in senior positions, and this course was precipitously changed only after public criticism by Jose Ramos Horta. Senior U.N. staff members betray a lack of experience in the delivery of basic government services, and the U.N.'s centralized administrative procedures are unsuited for a country that lacks any infrastructure or working commercial telephone system. International aid agencies have gradually learned to avoid funneling aid through the U.N. administration, preferring to deliver aid monies directly to local areas.
The budgets for the peacekeeping and UNTAET missions have exceeded $500 million per year. In contrast, the new East Timorese government has been put on a skimpy budget of $59 million for all government services. The U.N. designated a nominee of the International Monetary Fund to serve as the U.N. mission's chief fiscal officer, and embraced the argument that even in a period of rebuilding wrecked infrastructure, the government should be limited to an annual budget sustainable for the long term. One of UNTAET's early acts was to dismiss thousands of secondary school teachers and nurses, because of the stringency of the local budget. The only source of amelioration may lie in the Timor Gap reserves of natural gas and oil. UNTAET (acting for East Timor) recently completed negotiations with Australia for a larger share of the revenues from the joint development zone. The East Timor share of royalties may amount to $3.5 billion over twenty years. (That, of course, would amount to $3500 per citizen--hardly a windfall).
In addition, the security situation has remained uncertain. East Timor serves as a lesson for defense planners, showing that few peacekeeping commitments are ever really short-term. In the summer of 2000, in several fatal incidents, U.N. peacekeepers were attacked in the border area by infiltrating West Timorese militia. These attacks have died down, but the political transition in Indonesia, with the replacement of President Wahid by Megawati Sukarnoputri, may further enhance the power of Indonesia's military and intelligence services. East Timor's allocated $59 million budget cannot sustain a large force; current plans are for 1500 in a domestic defense force, with 1500 reservists. East Timor's long-term security requires at least informal security commitments from international partners. Australia plans to keep a core force in East Timor, even after the departure or scaling back of the multinational force. In the view of Australian defense planners, pro-Jakarta militias may attempt to reassert power in the absence of the international gendarmerie.
The problem of demobilizing and reemploying former insurgents also has not proved easy. The 25-year long Timorese armed resistance was led by the guerrilla force of the Falintil. Its veterans remain, with their weapons, in an encampment in the town of Aileu, 90 minutes from the capital city of Dili. Some local observers fear that the Falintil could become an enforcement arm for political factions, in particular, an instrument of power for the allied political party known as FREITILIN (Frente Revolucionaria Timore Leste, or "Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor"). Alternative employment is unlikely. Any wholesale redeployment of the Falintil along the border would be provocative to Indonesia. Veterans of the Falintil are eligible to become members of the new defense force, but many have been disqualified for medical disabilities incurred in prior service. The U.N. and the NGO's decline to give food or economic assistance to any armed group, and there is concern that unemployed men with guns will exacerbate the coarsening atmosphere in some Timorese towns.
There is, as well, the difficulty of sorting out the nature of East Timor's political identity. To be sure, some of the sources of ideological stress from the early 1970's now seem quite antiquated. The rhetoric of "people's liberation" has been replaced with U.N. acronyms. A political coalition called the CNRT ("National Council of Timorese Resistance") hung together throughout the period of the U.N.-supervised referendum, and though it is now disbanded, there is still the firm expectation that either former Falintil commander Xanana Gusmao or FREITILIN leader Jose Ramos Horta will serve as the country's first president. But there are still deep tensions over cultural affiliation and long-term political strategy. Portugal's career as earlier colonial power and later as international ombudsman has induced CNRT leaders such as Gusmao and Horta to insist that Portuguese should be the national language, even if most Timorese are unable to speak the tongue. The choice of English as one of several national languages would make commercial sense, but may be seen as a provocative affiliation with Australia. The CNRT coalition has been treated by UNTAET as a shadow government. Yet some excluded political groups, such as the youth-based CPD-RDTL (People's Council for Defense of the Democratic Republic of East-Timor), though dismissed as instruments of Jakarta, may have more support than either the U.N. or CNRT realize. In the midst of a shattered economy, the employment dispensed through CNRT patronage politics may also cause resentment. The national elections scheduled for August 2001, as prelude to writing a constitution, may reveal more party rivalry than expected.
Finally, the U.N. and Timorese communities are seeking a middle ground on how to deal with past offenses. In a system resembling the Rwandan "gacaca," UNTAET has created "community reconciliation procedures," enlisting traditional and religious leaders to hear individual admissions of guilt from returning militia members and impose reviewable penalties of apology or economic reparation. This choice of a truth commission, instead of criminal trials, will apply only to lesser offenses such as arson and looting, and not to acts of direct violence against civilians such as murder and rape. East Timorese society may face the additional shock of realizing how many of its former citizens were involved in the startling acts of violence.
The lessons of the United Nations' experience with East Timor are several. First, the United Nations' measured response to the Indonesian occupation during most of the 25 years shows the influence of major states in determining the use of multilateral machinery. Enthusiasm for "multilateralism" cannot obscure the realist's truth that international organizations will take account of the perceived interests of their major supporters. Second, the halting progress of UNTAET shows the unflattering tendency of international organizations to substitute structure and procedure for results. Performance-based standards are wanting in the bureaucratic culture of the U.N. and many of its agencies. The difficulty of creating a workable corporate culture in a contract crew cobbled together on six-month rotations may inspire some to look to the alternative of regionally-based organizations for administering post-conflict reconstruction. Third, the failure of the United Nations to act upon warnings about militia violence shows the organization's uncured naïveté about the necessary use of protective force in international relations. The opportunity for the East Timorese people to choose a political future was extraordinary, but need not have penalized the country with an unchecked political pogrom. Ending the militia violence depended entirely on the willingness of Australia to intervene, with logistical support from the United States. It was not even part of the U.N.'s planning for the mission. In spite of these failures, the usefulness of the United Nations as a bully pulpit and as a quiet venue for delicate negotiations was shown by the successful talks that gave rise to the 1999 election.
The experience of East Timor can also be taken as a reminder of the limited regional security architecture currently in place in Southeast Asia. Political and ethnic instability may continue in Indonesia, with violence and refugee flows from Aceh, Irian Jaya, and the Moluccas. Instability in the Solomon Islands and Fiji also show the unsteady balance among ethnic communities in many Southeast Asian and Pacific societies. There is no effective single power in the region outfitted to respond to humanitarian crises, though the East Timor peacekeeping force ultimately included troops from the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, as well as Australia and New Zealand. The continued presence of the Asian Regional Forum as a complement to the Asian Pacific Economic Forum can provide a venue for coordinating military capabilities in the event of future crises. But the United States and United Nations may find themselves without any major regional power to serve as a leader for exigent interventions. American projection of power in the Pacific is limited by U.S. commitments in northeast Asia, and the absence of obvious regional partners for humanitarian emergencies.

A possibility also taken seriously in Washington. But without any concrete sign of preparation for such a scenario, qualified the head of the CIA this week.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday called on the world to "prepare" for the possible use by Russia of its nuclear weapons, during an interview with several Ukrainian media.
"We should not wait for the moment when Russia decides to use its nuclear weapons. We must prepare for that", he insisted.
It's necessary "drugs (against radiation), air-raid shelters", he asserted. "We have to talk to them, sign treaties, get tough economically. (The Russians) can use any weapon, I'm sure.", he said while most military experts are divided on the likelihood of such a scenario, but do not rule it out, in any case.
A threat "not to be taken lightly"
On Friday, Volodymyr Zelensky had already assured that "the whole world" should be "worried" the risk that the humiliated Russian President Vladimir Putin, cornered by his military setbacks in Ukraine, will resort to a tactical nuclear weapon.
He echoed the statements to this effect from the head of American foreign intelligence, William Burns, who had considered the day before that it was not necessary "to take lightly" this threat. "We haven't really seen any concrete signs like deployments or military measures that could heighten our concerns"however, qualified the head of the CIA.
The Kremlin had already claimed to have put its nuclear forces on alert at the start of its offensive. Moscow will use nuclear weapons in Ukraine only in the event of "existential threat" against Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNN.
Attacks launched against Kyiv and other cities
According to Bulletin of the Atomic ScientistsQuoted by Point and AFP, Russia is equipped with " 1 588 Russian nuclear warheads deployed ", including 812 on land-based missiles, 576 on submarines and 200 on bombers.
Russian forces struck the capital Kyiv and other major Ukrainian cities on Saturday, following through on their threat to launch more attacks on cities after the sinking of the Russian flagship in the Black Sea.
In the besieged port of Mariupol (see below), the scene of the heaviest fighting and the worst humanitarian disaster the country has experienced since the start of the war, Russian troops continued their advance at a forced march, hoping to compensate their multiple failures in the field after 52 days of war.

New York Times Washington bureau chief Arthur Krock enthusiastically abided by company policy and would not hire Jews to work in the Washington bureau from 1927 to 1953. Historian David Halberstam writes: "When he had beaten back the umpteenth attempt of New York reporter Warren Moscow to join the bureau, Felix Belair, one of Krock's favorites in the bureau, accosted him. "There are some people here," said Belair, "who think you're anti-semitic." "Well," said Krock, "maybe I am."
Who paid for the New York Times April 25 antisemitic cartoon that screams that Jews secretly control the president of the United States? This so-ancient blood libel was paid for by the newspaper's New York department store advertisers.
Who paid for the New York Times' Thomas Friedman column declaring that the only reason members of Congress stand and applaud Benjamin Netanyahu is because Jews give them money? This was financed by the many New York-area clothing and restaurant advertisers.
Who paid for the New York Times libeling Israel with claims of war crimes having been committed when a ricocheting bullet killed a rioter on the Gaza border? All of the newspaper's specialty store and clothing advertisers
Perhaps, after the publishing of this most recent antisemitic outrage, the New York Jewish community might decide that it is time to fight back against this greatest of antisemitic newspapers, the New York Times.
And to do so, leaders of the Jewish community should be meeting with those advertisers who pay for the New York Times antisemitism to ask, "Why should we shop in your stores if you support antisemitism?"
While the New York Times might have every right to print anything it wants about Jews, so Jews have every right to boycott stores that pay for that antisemitism.
Some leftist supporters of the antisemitic New York Times will scream that the Jews are trampling on their freedom of the press. Well, if we have learned anything, it is that those left-wingers only demand freedom of press and speech when it is supportive of their own radical positions.
Otherwise, they are just a 21st century variety of authoritarian Stalinists.
While the New York Times might have every right to print anything it wants about Jews, so Jews have every right to boycott stores that pay for that antisemitism in the New York Times.
How many of these advertisers depend upon the Jewish community to purchase products in their stores?
Unfortunately, we Jews never learn from the very history we claim to embrace.
Barack Obama had the Jews in his pocket, and paid them back with the most overtly anti-Israel administration since the founding of the Jewish state.
The Democratic party is guaranteed an obscenely overwhelming Jewish vote at every election, and Jewish donors make up the majority of the party's donations. The Democrats show their gratitude to the Jews by becoming the home of the new progressive antisemites.
And catastrophically, Franklin Delano Roosevelt held the Jewish vote in his pocket, and thus had no reason to respond to demands to save the Jews of Europe.
And the New York Times, whose most loyal readership are the New York area's Jews, has repeatedly paid them back with over 100 years of antisemitism.
Meetings should be held in synagogues to rally the Jews to boycott New York Times advertisers. Facebook and email campaigns should begin against New York Times advertisers. Lists of advertisers should be published and posted in every synagogue. Meetings with these advertisers should be held to explain where their advertising money is going.
The line has been crossed. The Jews of America can see who their lethal enemy is and decide that it is time to act. And striking at New York Times advertisers is the best way to land a blow for Jewish freedom.

"You who never arrivedin my arms, Beloved, who were lostfrom the start,I don't even know what songswould please you. I have given up tryingto recognize you in the surging wave ofthe next moment. All the immenseimages in me -- the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,cities, towers, and bridges, and un-suspected turns in the path,and those powerful lands that were oncepulsing with the life of the gods--all rise within me to meanyou, who forever elude me.You, Beloved, who are allthe gardens I have ever gazed at,longing. An open windowin a country house-- , and you almoststepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chancedupon,--you had just walked down them and vanished.And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrorswere still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave backmy too-sudden image.

Russia says it has carried out its first ever joint air patrol withChina, prompting both South Korea and Japan to send jets in response.The defence ministry says four bombers, supported by fighter jets,patrolled a pre-planned route over the Sea of Japan and the East ChinaSea.South Korea says its jets fired flares and machine-gun warning shotswhen Russian planes intruded.Japan has protested both to Russia and South Korea over the incident.The alleged incursion happened over the disputed Dokdo/Takeshimaislands, which are occupied by South Korea but also claimed by Japan.Russian and Chinese bombers and reconnaissance planes haveoccasionally entered the zone in recent years, but this is the firstincident of its kind between Russia and South Korea.The defence ministry said two of its Tu-95MS strategicmissile-carriers had joined two Chinese Hong-6K strategic bombers onthe pre-planned route over "neutral waters".They were supported by fighters and A-50 and Kongjing-2000 airborneearly warning and control aircraft.At one point the patrol became a "single airborne formation consistingof a line of pairs of planes flying within 3-4km [around two miles] ofeach other", Lt-Gen Sergei Kobylash said in a televised statement.While performing their task, he said, they were followed by foreignfighters 11 times.He accused South Korean pilots of performing "dangerous manoeuvres" inthe vicinity of disputed islands, "crossing paths with the aviationgroup and creating danger for the safety of the flight".He confirmed the South Korean jets had fired decoy flares.The patrol, he said, had been more than 25km away from theDokdo/Takeshima islands, and he accused South Korean pilots of"hooliganism in the air".He said Russia had complained to the South Korean military about itscrews' "illegal and dangerous actions".This first "joint air patrol" involving Russian and Chinese long-rangeaircraft in the Asia Pacific region, sends a powerful signal of thedeveloping military relationship between Moscow and Beijing.This still falls short of a formal alliance but their joint exercisesare larger and more sophisticated.In turn this is a reflection of the ever closer economic anddiplomatic ties between the two countries who, though they still havepoints of tension, are drawing ever closer together.They broadly share a similar world view, hostile to Western liberaldemocracy, eager to promote an alternative model, protective of theirown national sovereignty, and often willing to ride rough-shod overthat of others.This poses a huge challenge for US strategy. The nightmare inWashington is an ever closer relationship between an assertive, butdeclining Russia, and a rising China, which looks set to overtake theUS as a technological and economic power in the years ahead.South Korea's military said five aircraft had entered the Korea AirDefense Identification Zone (KADIZ) at around 09:00 local time (00:00GMT) on Tuesday.The military said it had fired 10 flares and 80 machine-gun roundsduring the alleged first violation.It said a Russian A-50 plane had left and then re-entered the KADIZ -to be met by 10 more South Korean flares and 280 machine-gun rounds.The head of South Korea's National Security Office, Chung Eui-yong,has lodged a strong objection with the Security Council of Russia, andasked the council to take appropriate action."We take a very grave view of this situation and, if it is repeated,we will take even stronger action," the South Korean president'soffice quoted Mr Chung as saying.South Korea has also protested to China. Beijing has insisted SouthKorea's air defence identification zone is not territorial airspaceand so all countries can move within it.The government in Tokyo has lodged a complaint against both Russia andSouth Korea.Because it claims sovereignty over the islands, Japan's governmentsaid that Russia had violated its airspace. It also said that SouthKorea's response had been extremely regrettable.Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said: "In light of Japan'sstance regarding sovereignty over Takeshima, the South Korean militaryaircraft's having carried out warning shots is totally unacceptableand extremely regrettable."ConclusionsThis is in fact a significant Geopolitical development
Once again, the Strait of Hormuz is at the center of global tensions.The Middle East's crude oil and natural gas flow through the narrowsea conduit to international markets, making it the world's mostcritical transportation "chokepoint." Incidents there – such as Iran'sseizure of a British tanker, attacks on ships and confrontationsinvolving drones – can whipsaw energy prices and send shipping andinsurance rates rocketing. The U.S. and U.K. have stepped up theirmilitary presence in the region amid calls to ensure the waterwayremains open.1. Where is the Strait of Hormuz?Shaped like an inverted V, the waterway connects the Persian Gulf tothe Indian Ocean, with Iran to its north and the United Arab Emiratesand Oman to the south. It's about 96 miles (154 kilometers) long and21 miles wide at its narrowest point, with the shipping lanes in eachdirection just two miles wide. Its shallow depth makes shipsvulnerable to mines, and the proximity to land – Iran, in particular – leaves large tankers open to attack from shore-based missiles orinterception by fast patrol boats and helicopters.2. What's the strait's role in global shipping?It's essential to the global oil trade. Tankers hauled about one thirdof the oil moved at sea through the strait – 20.7 million barrels aday of crude, condensate and refined fuels last year, according to theU.S. Energy Information Administration. The strait is also crucial forliquefied natural gas, with more than a quarter of the world's supply,mostly from Qatar, passing through it annually, according to the EIA.Oil Tanker Chokepoints3. Why would Iran disrupt the strait?U.S. sanctions, particularly those aimed at stopping oil sales, havepushed Iran's economy into recession, prompting President HassanRouhani to accuse the U.S. of waging "economic war" against hiscountry. Disrupting the strait demonstrates that Iran, which isseeking relief from the sanctions, has the power to inflict pain inreturn on the U.S. and its allies by restricting the flow of energyand driving up prices. In the meantime, any boost in the price of oilcan help make up for the revenue Iran is losing from lower sales dueto sanctions. Iranian officials have made threats to close thewaterway in the past. "We certainly have the ability to do it,"Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said July 17, adding that Iran wouldn'twant to do so "because the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf areour lifeline."4. Could Iran really close the waterway?Closing the waterway entirely would be self-defeating for Iran,preventing its own exports of petroleum and starving it of revenue.Oil traders doubt the country would ever go that far. Iran's navy alsois no match for the U.S. Fifth Fleet and other forces in the region.Iran is still capable of considerable disruption. In July, itsRevolutionary Guard, which is charged with maintaining the security ofthe Persian Gulf for the country, escalated tensions when it seized aU.K.-registered tanker, owned by Sweden's Stena AB, in the strait.Iran said the ship had violated maritime rules. It also suggested themove was in retaliation for the U.K.'s seizure of an Iranian tankernear Gibraltar on suspicion of violating sanctions against Syria.Earlier in July, the British Navy intervened to prevent a tankeroperated by BP Plc from being blocked by Iranian vessels as it passedthrough the strait.Strait of Hormuz - A Timeline of Events5. Has the strait been closed to traffic before?No, but it has seen its share of conflict. During the 1980-1988Iran-Iraq War, Iraqi forces attacked Iran's oil export terminal atKharg Island, in the Persian Gulf northwest of the strait, in part toprovoke an Iranian retaliation that would draw the U.S. into theconflict. Although Iran didn't try to shut the strait, there followeda so-called Tanker War during which culprits from both sides attacked451 vessels, most carrying oil or refined petroleum products. Thatsignificantly raised the cost of insuring vessels, increasing the costof oil exports. When sanctions were imposed on Iran in 2011, threatswere again made to close the strait, but these were subsequentlydenied by Iran's foreign ministry.6. Can the strait be protected?During the 1980s Tanker War, the U.S. Navy resorted to escortingvessels through the Gulf. This time, the U.S. has dispatched anaircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the Persian Gulf, but repeatingthe 1980s operation would tie up large parts of U.S. and alliedfleets. Trump, in a Twitter posting, questioned why American forcesshould be responsible for protecting ships from other countries asthey make the "dangerous journey." Instead, the U.S. has said it isdeveloping a multinational effort to ensure freedom of navigation inthe Persian Gulf. The U.K. Navy has escorted some tankers out of theregion. Tanker operators must take protective measures of their own,says industry trade group Intertanko, by performing regular searchesfor mines, using spotlights to look for approaching ships andemploying sonar to deter divers. Owners of tankers that ply the Gulfface spiraling costs. War risk premiums paid every time a ship entersthe region surged from $30,000 in early 2019 to $185,000 in June,while cargo rates more than doubled in June, to $26,000 per day.7. Who relies most on the strait?Iran, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain export all their output through thestrait. Ninety percent of Iraq's exported oil goes through it as well.The U.A.E. can partly bypass the strait by sending 1.5 million barrelsa day via a pipeline from its oilfields to the port of Fujairah on theGulf of Oman. Saudi Arabia has the greatest ability to divert flowsfrom the risk zone, by using a 746-mile mega-pipeline across thecountry to an export terminal on the Red Sea. That link has never beenused to its full capacity of 5 million barrels a day, however, and inany case it falls short of the 8.5 million barrels of crude andpetroleum products the kingdom ships worldwide each day.
This level of financial and coercive sanction warfare is simplyunprecedented. President Trump has been a big proponent of coercive,financial and sanction warfare and its expression vis a vis Iran isits apogee.
Drone footage released by Iran's Fars news agency on Saturday showed abird's-eye view of the UK's Stena Impero, moored in the port of BandarAbbas after its seizure by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps(IRGC). In the video, a pair of Iranian boats speed in circles aroundthe tanker to the soundtrack of heavy metal, in a show of force likelydesigned for domestic as much as regional and global consumption.In the past 24 hours, a leaked audio recording laid bare the failedattempt by the British Royal Navy to avert the impounding."Alter your course, do 360 degrees immediately, over," an Iranianofficer is heard telling the crew of the UK oil tanker Stena Impero onFriday. "Obey, and you will be safe."A British warship, despite being too far away to pose an immediatethreat, then issues a competing directive, telling the commercial shipit should continue on its path."Stena Impero, this is British warship, Foxtrot 236. I reiterate thatyou are conducting transit passage in a recognized internationalstrait. Under international law, your passage must not be impaired,obstructed or hampered," the British officer says, before the vesselis forced to Iranian shores.The veracity of the recording, released by maritime security riskconsultancy Dryad Global, has not been challenged by the UK or Iran.The raid itself – videotaped and published by the IranianRevolutionary Guard Corps – shows Balaclava-wearing commandosdescending on the British tanker by helicopter. The seizure appeareddesigned to replicate Britain's impounding of an Iranian tankerearlier this month.Asked on Monday what the United States would do to help retrieve thevessel of its ally, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appeared to washhis hands of the incident."The responsibility in the first instance falls to the United Kingdomto care of their ships," he told Fox and Friends. The UK – in themidst of messy talks to leave the European Union – said on Monday itwas looking to its European allies to help secure Persian Gulfshipping.

The upward revision reflects a stronger-than-anticipated first quarteroutturn boosted by pre-Brexit inventory accumulation and stockpiling.

In sub-Saharan Africa, growth is expected at 3.4 percent in 2019 and3.6 percent in 2020, 0.1 percentage point lower for both years than inthe April WEO, as strong growth in many non-resource-intensivecountries partially offsets the lackluster performance of the region'slargest economies. Higher, albeit volatile, oil prices have supportedthe outlook for Angola, Nigeria, and other oil-exporting countries inthe region. But growth in South Africa is expected at a more subduedpace in 2019 than projected in the April WEO following a very weakfirst quarter, reflecting a larger-than-anticipated impact of strikeactivity and energy supply issues in mining and weak agriculturalproduction.

It will take time before Elon Musk is able to bring stability and reduce censorship at Twitter. We're not talking about buying a new phone. He's spending tens of billions of dollars to buy Twitter. As fast as he and his team usually work, it will likely be months before we see real change on the platform.
Some are already returning to the platform in hopes that in these early stages of Musk's purchase that changes may already be happening. We know that the company halted source code edits so disgruntled employees cannot lash out by changing the platform itself. But apparently, the same draconian measures for censoring conservatives is still in effect as Mike Lindell's new account has been permanently banned two hours after he announced its launch.
We've been in regular contact with Lindell's team at MyPillow since his last suspension and will continue to work with them directly to support this America First company and patriot. The best way other patriots can support him is to make purchases at MyPillow.com. To help us as well, please use promo code "NOQ" at checkout to get the maximum discount AND receive a free gift.
His original launch video, which has now been deleted, said:
"Hello everyone on Twitter, this is Mike Lindell," he said on video, speaking from what appears to be a private or charter plane. "I'm here to tell everyone about my new account here: @MikeJLindell."
"That's the only account over here on Twitter that I'm using. All those other ones are fake accounts, and they've been using my name out there, so we've started this account."
"Please share it with everybody you know. Let everybody know, so we can get the word out here on Twitter, in case they do take it down, and thanks for helping out. Thank you and God bless."
According to the Post Millennial, on January 26, 2021, Lindell was banned from Twitter for "repeated violations" of its civic integrity policy regarding election misinformation. Lindell is a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, and has upheld the view that the 2020 election had been rigged.
We, too, believe the election was stolen and have worked with Lindell and his team to get the truth out there. We posted a video message from Mike discussing his new show that received over a million views on our Rumble channel:
When the dust settles and some of the censorship is removed from Twitter, we believe Mike Lindell will be back. Until then, we will continue to support him any way we can.

Most "Conservative" News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I'll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other "taboo" topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You'll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they'll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won't see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn't allow certain topics to be discussed or they'll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don't necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don't get Google checks. We don't have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don't have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We're not perfect, but we're doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won't reveal about topics that others won't tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don't hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It's easy for people to point fingers when we're not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of six sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we're always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We're not ego-driven; I'd much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We're not here to take credit. We're here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code "NOQ" to get up to 66% off AND you'll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you'll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you'll need just in case things don't recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many "conservative" publications out there. You won't find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they're lucrative, but I don't like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don't like Google very much if you couldn't tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we're going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
