[Old Hickory's Weblog] Some roots of Bush Republicanism: They don't say it in that excerpt. But most people in the Bircher orbit understand those "Insiders" to be The Jews. Incidentally, this loony-tunes theory about the Illuminati and so forth, in which The Jews always turn out to be key conspirators, is also expoundedin Pat Robertson's books The New World Order (1992) and The Turning Tide: The Fall of Liberalism and the Rise of Common Sense (1993). (Sadly enough, I once heard Carlos Santana at a concert in Mountain View CA ramble on about the Illuminati.) Also, it's worth remembering that in the far-right gutter, "Freemason" is also a synonym for The Jews. In Germany and Austria, where overt anti-Semitism can get you into sticky legal problems, that tack is a favorite, i.e., using the Freimauer (Freemasons) as a substitute for The Jews.
[Sriks6711-Research] Kicking up a storm with the cloud seeders 16 Ap...: In 1966 the US military began operational flights on the CIA-inspired, top secret "Project Popeye". Their aim was to extend the monsoon season over south-east Asia, thereby increasing the amount of mud on the Ho Chi Minh Trail and flooding critical routes between what were then North Vietnam and South Vietnam. For seven years, aircraft flew more than 2600 sorties to disperse silver iodide into the clouds over the region, and initial results were positive, although analysts remain divided as to whether the extra mud on the trail really made much difference.
[Saint Nate's Blog] History Carnival #8: Another rule for history researchers: Don't let your own specialized knowledge lead to biased interpretations. Medical Researchers Writing Medical History from Early Modern Notes shows that some medical researchers who also dabble in history tend to use some selective reasoning to interpret past events to fit their specialties. That's not to say that experts in other fields can still write some interesting posts on history; check out chemist's Michelle Francl anecdote about Measuring Height With a Thermometer to see how a little scientific knowledge can have a big historical impact.
[BostonBluEyes] Quote of the Day: The Web brings people toget...: Knowing full well that if Aiyub's army learned of their leader's death they might disband, Shajar decided to conceal her husband's death. She sought the help of Jamal al-Din Mohren, the chief eunuch who controlled the palace, and Fakhr al-Dim, a soldier sworn to protect the palace. First, they circulated a rumor that the Sultan was ill, then they forged orders in Aiyub's name appointing his son as heir and Fakhr as chief general during his illness.
