As the Financial Times generally sees itself as the in-house newspaper of the boss class here in the UK, then it’s sometimes worthwhile dipping in to see exactly what our class enemy is up to.

Originally published by Anarchist Communist Group.

In a recent article written by former (Labour) Home Secretary, Jack Straw (4th January), he voiced the kind of important truth that would surely be unheard of in the general mass media that’s normally aimed at the hoi polloi. He said:

‘The comforting euphemism that the British police are there to “keep the peace” disguises a harder reality: that their paramount role is to maintain the state’s monopoly of the use of force.’

+ A Dire Warning About the End of Human Civilization

When we think of the coming disasters of global warming, rising sea levels, disruptions to agriculture and disappearing species come readily to mind.

We don’t necessarily think of the livability of the Earth’s surface. But if global warming continues to worsen — and every indication is that will be so — there will be places on Earth that could become uninhabitable.

Uninhabitable in the literal meaning of human beings not being able to survive there.

Such places could come into existence during this century, and perhaps sooner than even climate scientists currently fear, given that lethal combinations of heat and humidity have started to occur for brief periods of time.

We are not talking about thinly populated or uninhabited desert locations. We are talking here of cities where tens and hundreds of thousands of people currently live.

Yes, one more reason for humanity to tackle global warming.

To understand why survivability could become impossible in small geographic regions in the foreseeable future and, potentially, much larger regions in the more distant future should current trends in global warming continue, we need to turn to an obscure meteorological measurement known as the “wet-bulb temperature.”

This is different from the common air temperature, nor is it the same as the various versions of a “heat index” that provide a “feel like” temperature.

GREAT NEWS.. One less destroyer in the Putrid Pentagon’s Evil Empire

Destroyer can’t deploy because CO won’t get COVID vaccine, Navy says

The Navy say an unidentified guided-missile destroyer of the same class as Dewey, shown here, can’t deploy because it is commanded by an officer they cannot fire due to an ongoing COVID vaccine lawsuit. (Navy)

An ongoing legal battle over whether the military can force troops to get vaccinated against COVID-19 has left the Navy with a warship they say they can’t deploy because it is commanded by an officer they cannot fire.

It’s a standoff the brass are calling a “manifest national security concern,” according to recent federal court filings.
