RS/BS: Under the Radar Top Ten News items

 



Here are the Under the Radar items for October. In this election cycle, it has become painfully obvious that many of the issues that were once either in the forefront of news,  the so-called ‘hot-button’ issues, have all been pushed to the curb by the gigantic looming spectre of Trump and Trump-ism. The notion of completely dominating the news cycle is only possible when a willing press continues to follow the bright shiny objects put before us!

 

We are also hearing disturbing news that the right-wing media,(and this is nothing new), is distorting news and failing to fact-check their own side.  This includes not only Trump, but other erroneous and fabulous statements of untruth that go completely without any kind of “fair and balanced’ reporting . There there seems to be a kind of “Alternate Reality” or magical thinking that distorts what the right and the left really hear and what they believe!

 The Under the Radar Magazine highlights some of these issues on a regular basis. Here are ten Under the Radar topics that don’t get frequent airtime, and yet are still relevant to the current news cycle:

 

·         Not just America, but Poland also has needed to protest an almost total Abortion Ban in their country

·         The current makeup of the Supreme Court may also effect the Climate Change debate and the growing environmental crises we face in this country

·         What the role of Isolationism may cost us on a global scale

·         There are still mysterious illnesses reported of US Diplomats and Spies not only in Cuba but in China; with debilitating headaches, vertigo, memory loss and dizziness reported

·         Ways in which the Coronavirus is reshaping the Job Market is addressed

·         What a post-Brexit UK will look like; and mean for the US and Europe

·         The Opioid crisis is still with us

·         Canada moves ahead with banning plastics such as bags, straws, starting in 2021

·         A Stricken oil tanker in Caribbean could spill in sea between Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, causing an ecological disaster

·         The Eastern NATO front is forming with India, Australia in a Naval drill with US & Japan

We remember the Alamo in each of our wars

"  I know I’m on my way out ” was the way my Dad spoke of dying the last week of his life. The people who lived through World War II had a kind of stoicism about death that carried them through to the end. The last week of his life, he would reminisce back on some of the days he spent in England during the war.. He even remembered the names of the girls he dated!  He always had stories to tell from the mighty Eighth Air Force. The stories they wanted to compile that would leave a record of what they did...what they accomplished and what they left behind... I went with my Dad to his last reunion with the mighty Eighth. Ironically enough, it was held in San Antonio complete with a visit to the Alamo.  As with the fall of the Roman Empire, nothing lasts forever. They knew that. But there was a kind of sad but bittersweet connection with the Alamo....those who died for a glorious lost cause. Remember the Alamo... In the latest war...we see the talking faces on TV and those ...
