The Army Wants a 1,000 Mile Range Supergun to Sink China's Navy
"You can imagine a scenario where the Navy feels that it cannot get into the South China Sea because of Chinese naval vessels, or whatever," Esper said during a media roundtable. "We can – from a fixed location, on an island or some other place – engage enemy targets, naval targets, at great distances and maintain our standoff and yet open the door, if you will, for naval assets or Marine assets."
The experiments with extended-range artillery are part of the Army's look at hypersonic technology, which the U.S. military initially decided not to weaponize years ago.
When Task & Purpose asked Esper why the Army needs artillery that can lob a shell up to 1,000 miles , Esper explained the U.S. military needs to outrange enemy guns.
"You want to be outside the range that they can hit you," Esper said.

Court denies DOJ request for delay in Attkisson v. DOJ FBI for govt. computer intrusions
On Wednesday, the court denied the Justice Department request.
A diverse group of Constitutional free press and privacy advocates is supporting Attkisson v. Dept. of Justice/FBI to fight the government computer intrusions. Click here to support.
I’m pleased to be moving forward, as each delay costs time and money. On the other hand, the Justice Department has an endless supply of your tax money with which to fight my lawsuit.The fact that the court denied the Justice Department’s request to delay is not a signal as to how the court views my case one way or the other.
Thank you for your support. And I deeply appreciate the organizers of the Attkisson 4th Amendment Litigation fund and those who have been kind enough to contribute. We are already nearing 1/4 of their goal! For more information...

How did CNN have advanced knowledge of the arrest to have cameras there?
The arrest came around 6 a.m. when an FBI agent pounded on his door and yelled “FBI. Open the door,” CNN reported.

Mainstream Media Fails to Report Major Story on Native American Activist
After Friday’s standoff with the students from Covington Catholic, he and a band of 20-60 followers tried to interrupt a Mass at Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday night. A security guard turned away Phillips and his group and locked hundreds of worshippers inside until police arrived and the group departed.
The Daily Mail, an Australian website, reported there were 60 protesters who “tried to disrupt Mass a day AFTER being left ‘shaken and overwhelmed’ by [Phillips’] confrontation with Catholic students.” It said in a subhead “They said they wanted to ‘hold the Catholic Church accountable’ for the events the previous day.”

The Catholic News Agency covered the incident, as did the Washington Times, Washington Examiner, Daily Caller, National Catholic Register, Breitbart and the Daily Mail. The New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Time magazine, Newsweek magazine, Slate, Salon, Los Angeles Times and others did not...
