  Entrance to building the state   Hatem Babiker Awad Al-Karim State building as a concept and definition associated with the emergence of the modern European nation-state, where the focus is on enforcing the rule of law in society and achieving the stability of authority in society. Charles Neely defined state building: (as a precursor to the emergence of specialized personnel, control of land, loyalty and continuity, the formation of permanent institutions, and an independent central authority that monopolizes the use of violence). According to the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development, state-building is comprised of several dimensions and axes that are limited to: (assistance in obtaining new technology, mobilizing resources and directing them to productive sectors, imposing regulations and standards, establishing social pacts, financing work and delivering services).

  Ready for Another Game of Russian Roulette? by aletho By H. Bruce FRANKLIN | CounterPunch | January 19, 2022 As the U.S. moves nuclear forces closer and closer to the border of Russia, and as our corporate media bang their war drums louder and louder, does anyone remember the Cuban missile crisis? In June of 1961, just three months after the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba was defeated,  the United States began the deployment of fifteen Jupiter nuclear missiles to Turkey, which shared a border with the Soviet Union. Each missile, armed with a W49 1.4 megaton thermonuclear warhead, was equivalent to 175 Hiroshima bombs. With their fifteen-hundred-mile range, the missiles were capable of annihilating Moscow, Leningrad, and every major city and base in the Russian heartland. Each missile could incinerate Moscow in just sixteen minutes from launch, thus wildly raising the possibility of thermonuclear war caused by technological accident, human error, miscommunication, or preemptive...

 Leakage of liquid from frozen soil wall caused by misalignment of pipe joints TEPCO by dunrenard January 25, 2022 Leakage of liquid from frozen soil wall caused by misalignment of pipe joints TEPCO As part of the measures to deal with contaminated water at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, liquid used to freeze the ground leaked from the "frozen earth wall" that was installed to prevent underground water from flowing into the buildings. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is investigating the cause of the damage and replacing the pipes. On the 16th of this month at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, an estimated 4 tons of liquid at minus 30 degrees Celsius, which is used as a "refrigerant" to build a "frozen earth wall" to freeze the ground around the buildings, leaked. The leakage was estimated to be about 4 tons. Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) investigated the leak and found that the joints between the pipes that feed the ref...

  Release of treated water from Fukushima Daiichi: TEPCO applies for implementation plan to the Regulatory Commission by dunrenard December 21, 2021 The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has announced its plan for the release of treated water containing tritium and other radioactive substances that continues to accumulate at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea. Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) held a press conference on April 21 and announced that it has applied to the Nuclear Regulation Authority for an implementation plan in line with the government's policy that the treated water that continues to accumulate at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant will be discharged into the sea in the spring of the next year after being diluted to a concentration below the standard. The plan describes the procedure for diluting the treated water with seawater and the design of an undersea tunnel to be constructed to release the diluted water from 1 km offshore. Af...

 Reading into the aspirations of the revolutionary advancement and an attempt to answer the fundamental question, what to do??       Ibrahim Said                                                                                                                      Reading begging the historical materialist method and its tools in analysis, investigation and monitoring. If our reality has a primary characteristic, then it is the inherent characteristic, which is the crisis. The path of governance and politics in our country has entered the labyrinth of an organic crisis that takes the form of a double deficit. The inability of the existing system (the generals' system) is dominant...

 FREE FALL: Biden’s Approval Rating Plunges to ‘Historic Low’ in Latest Poll President Biden’s approval rating plunged to a record low according to a new survey from NPR/PBS and NewsHour/Marist. The survey found just 41% of voters support Biden, compared with 55% who disapprove of his performance. Those figures are the worst for that polling outfit since Inauguration Day. “Eighty-seven percent of Democrats and just 4 percent of Republicans gave the president positive marks for the job he is doing,” reports The Hill. “Biden’s most recent approval rating is a slight decline from 42 percent in a poll released on Dec. 9. His approval for the polling groups peaked mid-April, when 54 percent of adults gave him positive marks,” adds the website. “Eighty-seven percent of Democrats and just 4 percent of Republicans gave the president positive marks for the job he is doing,” reports The Hill. “Biden’s most recent approval rating is a slight decline from 42 percent in a poll released on Dec. ...

  Five christmas book recommendations by aletho By Sebastian Rushworth, M.D. | December 18, 2021 I’m taking a break from the blog until the new year, and in light of that I thought I’d recommend some books that have come out in 2021 and that I think are well worth a read over the christmas holidays. A hunter gatherer’s guide to the 21st century. This book, written by evolutionary biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (who also host the excellent Dark Horse podcast), attempts to explain why modern people are so unhealthy, stressed, and dissatisfied with life, by analyzing the many ways in which life in modern civilization differs from the environment that we have evolved to thrive in. The clot thickens. British physician Malcolm Kendrick has made it his life’s work to understand what actually causes heart disease, based on the early realization that the traditional cholesterol hypothesis (widely believed by cardiologists everywhere) has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
