BREAKING NEWS: A jury in the United States land of the brave and home of the free has been given what effectively amounts to a life sentence in prison for spitting at two police officers.

Larry Pearson, aged 36, was this week sentenced to 70 years in jail for two counts of harassment of a public servant.

It followed a domestic violence incident in May last year, in which Pearson twice assaulted his girlfriend, before their vehicle was pulled over by police.

Pearson got angry after officers didnt arrest the woman (her car was unregistered) and spat at them and a third officer at the Lubbock Country Detention Centre.

During closing arguments of the sentencing phase of the trial, prosecutor Jessica Gorman asked the jury to send a message, and they certainly did that, delivering a combined sentence of 70 years.

Pearson had prior convictions for family violence and aggravated robbery, meaning that in Texas law, under the law of habitual offenders, Pearson faced a minimum sentence of 25 years.

Seeking to explain the sentence after trial, Prosecutor Gorman told media, Youre not going to get 70 years for something like this when youve never been in trouble before.

The treatment of Pearson stands in stark contrast to that of another Texas offender last week. Army Sergeant Daniel Perry, aged 30, was convicted of first degree murder after shooting dead a #BlackLivesMatter protestor in Austin. Perry had repeatedly boasted on social media that he would kill a protestor, before firing on 28-year-old Garret Foster, also a veteran, who approached Perrys vehicle after Perry drove into the crowd of protestors. Foster was legally carrying an unloaded assault-style rifle.

Immediately after his conviction, far-right Texas Governor Greg Abbott asked the Board of Pardons and Paroles to expedite a pardon for Perry (he hasnt even been sentenced yet), which Abbott said he would sign.

The town of Lubbock is situated deep in the heart of rural Texas, about 500 kilometres west of Dallas, and 100 kilometres from the New Mexico border. The town is named in honour of Thomas Lubbock, a Confederate colonel who fought for the preservation of slavery in the United States.

Its a deeply conservative community of the 20 most populous counties in Texas, Lubbock returned the second widest winning margin for former US president Donald Trump in 2020.

Ten years ago today, two bombs close to the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured hundreds many of them severely.

What happened next was unprecedented in US history. While the nation watched with bated breath, Boston was essentially shut down. Thousands of law enforcement personnel participated in a door-to-door search for the perpetrator(s), whom the authorities eventually identified as the brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

The story had all of the ingredients of a drama destined to keep Americans glued to their screens for days: terrorism, Muslim bombers, a shootout, heroes, a city that emerged Boston Strong, and, most importantly, a happy end. 

Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following the shootout while his brother Dzhokhar was captured later, tried, and sentenced to death.

It was such a good story that not many people asked whether the narrative that the authorities presented, and that was repeated by most of the media, was the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

But WhoWhatWhy did. 

And it quickly became apparent that, at the very least, there were some questions that should have been asked and were not. During the coverage of the bombing, and then during the trial of Dzhokhar, lots of information was withheld and inconsistencies were glossed over. 

That is not to say that the Tsarnaevs were not the perpetrators of the bombing. They very likely were. However, it is also true that we were not told the whole story. 

What role did Tamerlan Tsarnaevs previous contact with the FBI play? Is it at least possible that he was one of the young Muslims targeted to serve as informants or to participate in a fake terrorist plot hatched by the bureau itself to show the US was making headway in the War on Terror? What exactly happened a month later when an FBI agent killed a friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev? And why, if the brothers acted as lone wolves, were special administrative measures put in place that severely restricted Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs ability to communicate with the outside world ostensibly to prevent him from talking to accomplices which the government said didnt exist? 

These are just some of the many unanswered questions that the mainstream media should have asked but didnt. Instead, it was a small nonprofit news organization with a tiny budge...

April 19 marks the 248th anniversary of the day on which 700 agents of the lawfully constituted government of Massachusetts approached the town of Lexington intent on seizing the guns of the areas farmers. Eight farmers were gunned down on Lexington Green, after which the uniformed gun confiscators came under attack by thousands of swarming farmers organized as the Minutemen, a citizen militia armed with the same weapons as the governments forces. On the day of The Shot Heard Round the World in Massachusetts, these United States were founded.

The battle of Lexington and Concord which marked the start of the civil war known as the American Revolution, is too often presented in books and lectures as between foreign troops and Americans. In order to disguise what was a police action by the royal governor acting on the order of the Commander in Chief (King George), the event is presented in terms of foreign troops invading New England, the equivalent in our day of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army landing in Seattle and disarming the local citizens.

By framing Lexington and Concord as Americans vs. aliens, the role of the loyalist American government is overlooked, as is the fact that this was a police action by troops charged with enforcing the law of the land, who spoke the same language and were in some cases cousins of the English-Americans they killed.

Beginning the previous autumn, the local governors of New England began to enforce the kings October 19 order for the seizure of the peoples guns and ammunition (Cf. Boston Gazette, December 12, 1774). One patriot remarked, the Decree that prohibited having arms and ammunition was a violation of the law of self-preservation and the right to defend the liberties which God and nature have given us. (New Hampshire Gazette, January 13, 1775).

These thoughts didnt spring from erewhon. They were inspired in part by another civil war, in Britain itself some 130 years earlier, when the people took up arms against the government of King Charles I. Those Puritans had argued that the legislature, i.e. the House of Commons didnt just represent the people, it answered to them: We are your principals, and you are our agents.

Their petition, Remonstrance of Many Thousand Citizens and other Freeborn People of England to their own House of Commons (July 1646), did not only denounce (King) Charles, but monarchy itself. It was possible, the petitioners said, for a nation to be happy without a king. It argued for thorough reform.

How Barry Silbert is Contributing to Positive Changes in the World of Cryptocurrency

Barry Silbert, a millionaire entrepreneur and the founder of Digital Currency Group, has been instrumental in the growth and development of the cryptocurrency industry. Silberts expertise in finance and experience in the world of cryptocurrency have established him as a prominent figure in the field.

Silbert is the founder of Gensis Trading, a trading firm that specializes in cryptocurrency, and Grayscale, a cryptocurrency investment firm. Silberts most recent project, Foundry, intends to fund and assist bitcoin mining ventures.

One of Silberts most notable contributions to the cryptocurrency industry is his role in preventing the bankruptcy of Mt. Gox, a major bitcoin exchange. Silberts efforts to revive Mt. Gox involved purchasing a large amount of bitcoin from the exchanges bankruptcy estate and establishing a syndicate of investors to purchase additional bitcoins. Silberts actions helped to prevent a catastrophic loss for many bitcoin holders and helped to stabilize the cryptocurrency market at a critical moment.

Silbert has been a strong supporter of establishing regulatory guidelines in the cryptocurrency industry. According to Silbert, instituting transparent regulations would improve investor confidence and entice institutional investors to get involved in the cryptocurrency market.

Established in 2016, the caucuss goal is to educate legislators on the advantages and potential hazards related to digital currencies and blockchain technology.

Silberts involvement in the caucus has helped to bring attention to the need for clear regulatory guidelines in the cryptocurrency industry, and his efforts have played a role in the introduction of several bills related to digital currencies and blockchain technology in the U.S. Congress.

Silberts advocacy for regulatory clarity and his contributions to the growth and development of the cryptocurrency industry has made him a respected figure in the world of finance and technology.

Thank you Steve for the tip on this great insight into Albanese's Voice.

Can organizations sincerely say they are leading the climate justice fight without also being unapologetically antiwar? Short answer no. Heres why.

We cannot end climate change without ending war. The United States military is the planets largest single emitter of greenhouse gasses and consumer of oil. The US military and its weapons, consistently deployed to secure economic dominance for the few while ensuring suffering for the many, has no place on a just and livable planet. The corporate interests and fascist, militarist tendencies that lead humanity into conflict are the very same that view our Earth, its atmosphere, and its abundant life as a resource to be exploited for profit. Ending war means ending the war economy the colonial system of extraction and exploitation that got us into this mess in the first place.

That a more peaceful world could be a result of the broad system change climate activists are calling for is no coincidence. But the theoretical intersection alone isnt enough! Environmentalists and climate change activists must make a commitment to peace explicitly. Our planet depends on it.

There are already plenty of reasons to oppose war such as the threat of nuclear destruction, massive civilian casualties, and violence against women and the concentration of fascist imperialist powers into corporatized hands. But if that is not enough for folks doing important work in climate justice to also oppose all wars, then lets also consider militarism and the war economy.

The Pentagon is already the planets largest single institutional emitter of fossil fuels, and US-backed conflicts around the world since WWII can always be tied back to economic gain dominance, especially via the private control of fuel and natural resources. A war with China, which the US has gradually encircled with hundreds of military bases and weaponry, is being provoked for economic reasons as the government and media manufacture the consent of the American public. This will only result in the increase of Pentagon funding (already at $858 billion), siphoning off billions of dollars of taxpayer money to infrastructure and weaponry which is destroying our climate.

Many people dont realize that every solution to climate change already exists. The problem is the government simply will not fund it while its priority is war. Demilitarization is one of the most important things we can do for the climate, and for living beings inside and outside conflict zones.

Currently, our measure of success as a country is based on how much we can destroy and exploit. While the basic tenets of capitalism are taught in America as economic law, this is hardly the case.The economic system we operate under is a choice. There are other options. Our broken and optional system  where income inequality is at an all-time high, the poor have little access to healthcare, and the climate is nearing deadly tipping points is...

The mRNA vaccines were released globally in early 2021 with the slogan safe and effective. Unusually for a new class of medicine, they were soon recommended by public health authorities for pregnant women. By late 2021, working age women, including those who were pregnant, were being thrown out of employment for not agreeing to be injected. Those who took the mRNA vaccines did so based on trust in health authorities the assumption being that they would not have been approved if the evidence was not absolutely clear. The role of regulatory agencies was to protect the public and, therefore, if they were approved, the drugs were safe.

Recently, a lengthy vaccine evaluation report sponsored by Pfizer and submitted to the Australian regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) dated January 2021 was released under a Freedom of Information request. The report contains significant new information that had been supressed by the TGA and by Pfizer itself. Much of this relates directly to the issues of safety in pregnancy and impacts on the fertility of women of child-bearing age. The whole report is important, but four key data points stand out:

• The rapid decline in antibody and T cells in monkeys following a second dose;
• Biodistribution studies (previously released in 2021 through an FOI request in Japan);
• Data on the impact of fertility outcomes for rats;
• Data on foetal abnormalities in rats.

We focus on the last three items as, for the first point, it is enough to quote the report itself: Antibodies and T cells in monkeys declined quickly over five weeks after the second dose of [Pfizer Covid vaccine] BNT162b2 (V9), raising concerns over long term immunity. This point indicates that the regulators should have anticipated the rapid decline in efficacy and must have known at the outset that the initial two dose course was unlikely to confer lasting immunity and would, therefore, require multiple repeat doses. This expectation of failure was recently highlighted by Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director at the U.S. NIH.

The three remaining items should be a major cause for concern with the pharmaceutical regulatory system. The first, as re...

South Florida was hit with a 1-in-1,000 year deluge of rainfall this week as a series of storms pummeled the area, causing widespread flooding, stranded vehicles, closed schools and airport shut-downs.

A record 25.91 inches of rain was measured at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport, according to the National Weather Services preliminary report, falling in the 24 hour period leading up to Thursday morning.

Ana Torres-Vazquez, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, said a typical strong hurricane would produce 20 to 25 inches of rainfall over the course of more than one day, reported CNN.

This amount of rain in a 24-hour period is incredibly rare for South Florida, Torres-Vazquez said, describing the rainfall as a 1-in-1,000 year event, or greater, as CNN reported.

This means the chance of it happening in any given year is 0.1 percent.

The average rainfall for all of April in Fort Lauderdale is three inches, and the city hasnt seen 20 inches of rain in a month for almost 25 years.

South Floridas historic rainfall followed a low pressure system that developed in the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday, causing a warm front to move across southern Florida, reported The Guardian. This was followed by a series of slow-moving supercell thunderstorms.

The amount of rainfall is unprecedented, Mayor Dean Trantalis said Thursday, as NBC News reported.

Experts have predicted more extreme weather as the climate crisis wears on.

According to the National Weather Service, another two to three inches of rain...

A former staffer who worked in the Obama administration is blowing the whistle on the Bidens  and has accused President Biden of being involved in a kickback scheme directly related to his son Hunters overseas business dealings.

Mike McCormick, a stenographer in the White House for 15 years who worked with Biden from 2011 to 2017, told Fox & Friends First that the FBI has completely ignored him despite his willingness to testify under oath before the grand jury investigating Hunter.

In February, I went to the FBI and filed one of their tips on their website. If you do that, and youre lying to them, you go to jail. Im not lying. Im telling the truth, and Im not going to jail, McCormick said on Thursday. Joe Biden is a criminal. He was conducting malfeasance in office to enrich his family. Jake Sullivan is a conspirator in that, and theres more Obama officials involved in it, I believe.

McCormick specifically noted a key dialogue involving then-VP Biden, aide Jake Sullivan and the press on Air Force Two before an April 21, 2014 trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, in which Sullivan now Bidens national security adviser outlined a US investment in the Ukrainian energy sector just days after Hunter joined the board of Burisma.

Months after the trip, Congress allocated $50 million to Ukraines energy market.

Im sitting back there with a tape recorder. Jake Sullivan comes back and somebody asks about fracking. His answer is, well, were bringing a lot of American assistance over for fracking. Burisma was the direct beneficiary of that fracking, and thats what I recorded, and thats in a White House transcript, said McCormick, adding: In the transcript, you dont know who Jake Sullivan is. Its a senior administration official. Im the witness that says Jake Sullivan is the guy who said it and he should be investigated because at the time Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma and Joe Biden is bringing American taxpayer money to enrich that company and himself and his family.

Hunter joined the board of the Ukrainian natural gas firm on April 18, just three days before Biden and his team traveled to Kyiv. But that critical piece of the...

Or Hillary Clinton depicting herself as a victim of sexism even as she wielded her extraordinary power to brand half her compatriots as deplorables. Julie Burchill calls them 'cry-bullies' - a 'hideous hybrid of victim and victor, weeper and walloper'. Now there's President Biden, the most powerful cry-bully in the world. He's taken the grievance machine global. He speaks of his historic pain even as he impresses his imperial power across the Earth. Witness his visit to Ireland. He's hyping up his status as a descendent of the...

Instead of looking into the eyes of the future and offering an answer that might truly speak to young people, Biden made it all about himself.

BUDAPEST Ukraine is a non-existent country in financial terms, and as soon as the US and Europe stop supporting it, the conflict will end, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday.

In fact, Ukraine is a non-existent country in financial terms. The fall in economic indicators is huge, which is completely understandable Obviously, Ukraine cannot finance itself. The question is whether we support Ukraine, Orban told a Hungarian broadcaster.

He added that the moment America and Europe answer no to this question, the conflict will end.

I get asked regularly, What is the most powerful thing I can do in my community to advance or share the Strong Towns message?

The answer is really simple: walk into your city hall.

Your city hall is the hub for all the activities in your community and is more than just a brick-and-mortar building in the center of town. City hall is the location where ideas are debated and codified into ordinances by your elected officials through various meetings. This is where a team of city employees are managing the day-to-day operations of the city, ranging from trash collection to tax collection. City hall is an institution with a diversity of responsibilities serving your community.

Here lies an opportunity to humbly observe how your local city operates and is managed. There is no better way to start this discovery than by introducing yourself and sharing what you love about your community.

Here are four simple things you can do when you walk into your city hall:

1. Meet City Staff

Take the time to meet the staff that are working in your city. These are the people who have the job of implementing the policies and programs as directed by your city council or mayor. They're working on the business of the city by writing ordinances, administering codes, and preparing meeting agendas.

Take time to meet these people and learn about their jobs and the various projects they are working on. Ask lots of questions and learn about how things work in your city. Share what you love and want to see more of. Ask how to enact change for things that are not so loved by you and your neighbors. This breaks down barriers and opens the door for you to...

BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE | APRIL 13, 2023

Fear of a Microbial Planet, by Dr. Steve Templeton, is a wonderfully accessible book on the Covid era now published by Brownstone institute, offers desperately needed clarity and science on the organization and management of individual social life in the presence of pathogenic infection. It can be read as a definitive answer to expert arrogance, political overreach, and population panic.

For three years following the arrival of the virus that causes Covid, the dominant response from governments and the public has been to be afraid and stay far away through any means possible. This has further mutated into a population-wide germophobia that is actually being promoted by elite opinion.

Steve Templeton, Senior Scholar at Brownstone Institute and Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Indiana University School of Medicine Terre Haute, argues that this response is primitive, unscientific, and ultimately contrary to individual and public health. The most unhealthy populations are those which preserve immunological naivete in the presence of a virus that is otherwise going to circulate widely.

Dr. Templetons story is both scientific and highly personal, taking the reader through the basics of immune response and public health even while relaying his personal frustrations with trying to talk sense to others in senseless times.

If a public health response is like an immune response, then consider this book as immunization against germophobia, politicized science, a self-defeating safety culture, and misplaced faith in...

Ethan Huff Natural News April 13, 2023

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which is often described as the central bank of central banks, is working on a new global central bank digital currency (CBDC) that could become the new one-world digital currency.

Known as Project Icebreaker, the plan involves coordinating all of the worlds central banks and their respective currencies under a new foreign exchange clearing house for retail CBDCs, meaning digital currencies used by ordinary people and businesses in their day-to-day affairs.

Much like the SWIFT payment system for international settlements, Project Icebreaker will enable varying digital currencies to be traded from country to country both quickly and efficiently.

The Icebreaker Hub, as the BIS is calling it, will facilitate data transfers for an array of transactions that occur at banks, both internally and in their dealings with other banks.

(Related: Australia recently launched its own CBDC pilot program to replace all cash throughout the country with a central bank-controlled digital currency.)

The central banking cartel wants total control over everything

When Russia invaded Ukraine, it was expelled from the SWIFT network by the central banking cartel as retaliation. The same type of thing would happen under Project Icebreaker to those who break script; they would face financial sanctions.

In Russias case, it was able to sidestep the SWIFT ban by dealing directly with economic powerhouses like China and India that belong to BRICS, minimizing the damage that the West tried to impose.

Project Icebreaker would make such an action a whole lot harder because it would tighten the noose on global trade and finance. The goal is to entangle every country into the CBDC web, enabling absolute totalitarianism on a global scale.

What if all monetary transactions were centralized through CBDCs and the BIS controlled the hub in which all retail CBDCs are exchanged globally? This is what Icebreaker is, explains Brandon Smith from the Birch Gold Group.

Now imagine that you operate a business that relies on overseas transactions; say you need to pay manufacturers in Vietnam or Taiwan to produce your products. With CBDCs in place you will most likely be completely dependent on a system similar to the Icebreaker Hub to move that digital money to Vietnamese banks and into the accounts of your manufacturers. Say officials at the BIS, for whatever reason, decide they dont like you and they initiate Russian-style sanctions denying your access to the hub. Your business is now dead.

American-made smart bombs are falling victim to Russian electronic jamming in Ukraine, causing them to miss their targets, according to leaked documents and confirmed by a Defense Department official.

In some cases, the weapons were also failing to detonate due to a technical issue, which Ukrainian troops have since addressed.

The news adds to an increasingly bleak picture of the state of Ukraines military that has emerged from a trove of top secret intelligence documents that leaked on social media and came to light over the past week. The documents show that Washington has grave concerns about Kyivs dwindling ammunition and air defenses, which could cause it to fall short of its goals for the anticipated spring counteroffensive.

The Pentagon in December began sending Kyiv advanced equipment that could convert unguided air-dropped munitions into precision-guided smart bombs that can hit Russian targets with a higher degree of accuracy.

The guided bombs can be launched by a variety of aircraft such as bombers and fighters, and are called Joint Direct Attack is called a JDAM-Extended Range, or JDAM-ER.

But the weapons have experienced higher-than-expected dud rates and have missed their targets on the battlefield, according to a leaked slide prepared by the Joint Staff and confirmed by a U.S. official, who was granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.

In some cases, the bomb fuzes were not arming when they were released, causing the weapon to fail to detonate. The Ukrainian air force put in place a fix to ensure the bombs are arming correctly, according to the slide and the official.

The document includes a diagram of the munition and lays out the technical issue the weapons are experiencing as well as the proposed fix. It also provides a detailed account of the weapons failure rate in several recent attacks, including the dates and the number of munitions it took to take out the target. However, POLITICO could not independently verify that information.

A larger problem is that Russia is using GPS jamming to interfere with the weapons targeting process, according to the slide and a separate person familiar with the issue whos not in the U.S. government. American officials believe Russian jamming is causing the JDAMs, and at times other American weapons such as guided rockets, to miss their mark.

I do think there may be concern that the Russians may be jamming the signal used to direct the JDAMs, which would answer why these munitions are not performing in the manner expected and how they perform in other war zones, said Mick Mulroy a former Pentagon official and retired CIA officer.

If you havent paid attention, the answer to this verboten (forbidden) question may shock you. Carlson points out (inaccurately, if you ask me) that vaccines have been shown to be generally safe, citing statistics on how many Americans have died after the seasonal influenza vaccine in recent years.

Each year, more than 165 million Americans get the flu shot, and according to the U.S. vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS), there were 85 reported deaths following influenza vaccination in 2017; 119 deaths in 2018; and 203 deaths in 2019. How do those rates compare to the death rates from the coronavirus vaccine? Carlson asks. The answer is, theres really no comparison.

How Many Have Died From COVID Vaccines?

Between mid-December 2020, when the first COVID-19 shots were rolled out, and April 23, 2021, at which point between 95 million and 100 million Americans had received their COVID-19 shots, there were 3,544 reported deaths following COVID vaccination.²

Thats 182 more deaths than cited by Carlson. As of April 23, 2021, VAERS had also received 12,618 reports of serious adverse events. In total, 118,902 adverse event reports had been filed. If, like Carlson estimates, about 30 people per day are dying from the shots, these numbers will grow by the hundreds each week.

Carlson also cites data from an investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which found that VAERS catches a mere 1% of vaccine injuries,^3,...

ASIA:

Japans wholesale prices rose 7.2% in March from a year earlier, with the pace of increase slowing for the third straight month, data showed on Wednesday, offering some relief to households and firms hit by a steady rise in raw material costs. The gain in the corporate goods price index (CGPI), which measures the price companies charge each other for their goods and services, was roughly in line with a median market forecast for a 7.1% gain. It followed a revised 8.3% increase in February. Rising global commodity and fuel costs have pushed Japans wholesale and consumer inflation to multi-decade highs, heightening market expectations that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may soon phase out its massive stimulus program.

Many are those who predict a World War. Indeed, some groups are preparing for it. But the States are reasonable and, in fact, consider rather an amicable separation, a division of the world into two different worlds, one unipolar and the other multipolar. Perhaps we are actually witnessing a third scenario: the American Empire is not struggling in the trap of Thucydides; it is collapsing like its former Soviet rival died.

The American Straussians, the Ukrainian integral nationalists, the Israeli revisionist Zionists and the Japanese militarists are calling for a generalized war. They are alone and they are not mass movements. No state has yet committed itself to this course.

Germany with 100 billion euros and Poland with much less money are rearming massively. But neither of them seems eager to take on Russia.

Australia and Japan are also investing in armaments, but neither of them has an autonomous army.

The United States is no longer able to replenish its military and is no longer able to create new weapons. They are content to reproduce the weapons of the 1980s in an assembly line fashion. However, they maintain their nuclear weapons.

Russia has already modernized its armies and is organizing itself to renew the ammunition it uses in Ukraine and to mass produce its new weapons, which no one can compete with. China, for its part, is rearming to control the Far East and, in the long term, to protect its trade routes. India thinks of itself as a maritime power.

It is therefore difficult to see who would and could start a World War.

Contrary to their speeches, French leaders are not at all preparing for a high-intensity war [1. The military programming law, established for ten years, plans to build a nuclear aircraft carrier, but reduces the size of the army. It is a question of giving ourselves the means of projection, but not of defending our territory. Paris continues to reason as a colonial power while the world is becoming multipolar. It is a classic: the generals prepare for the previous war and ignore the reality of tomorrow.

The European Union is implementing its Strategic Compass. The Commission coordinates the military investments of its member states. In practice, they all play the game, but pursue different goals. The Commission, on the other hand, is trying to take control of decisions on the financing of armies, which until now have depe...
