A Rogues Gallery of Right-Hegelians
A major project of mine for the last three years has been to trace the origin and development of the ideas that led to today’s alt-right activists. They have emerged on the political scene suddenly and with impressive ferocity. Some people just assume that they represent nothing but a melange of hate and racism. This is too simple. Even the most dumbed-down political movement is built by parrots of defunct philosophers. If you are tempted by the alt-right, here is your intellectual family tree.

Unfortunately for those of us craving clear cause and effect, the answer from scientists is a bit more nuanced. Asking if global warming caused all this is, it turns out, like asking if old age causes arthritis and bad eyesight. It doesn’t, but it does make those things more likely — and exacerbates them when they occur.

In 2006, I found myself in the eye of a super typhoon. It was far more terrible than I could have imagined.

Lines of cars are lengthening along highways after an unprecedented 7 million people were told to evacuate low-lying coastal areas of Florida as deadly Hurricane Irma, forecast to maintain Category 4 strength over the next 24 hours, has already begun to strike the Sunshine State as of Saturday. Winds of up to 75 mph have been recorded in the southern reaches of the state, and are predicted to approach 125 mph or more on Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), as the large and dangerous storm speeds toward the US mainland.
A source has told Sputnik that US Air Force aircraft had evacuated a group of nearly two dozen Daesh (ISIS) field commanders and militants from Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria last month. Retired US Air Force Lieut Col. Karen Kwiatkowski says this is standard operating procedure for CIA black ops looking to cover their trail after an operation. On Thursday, a military and diplomatic source told Sputnik that USAF helicopters had evacuated 22 Daesh field commanders and militants from areas outside the city of Deir ez-Zor in late August, amid a successful operation by Syrian government forces to free the area from terrorist control. The militants were reportedly taken to northern Syria. The US-led coalition's press office told Sputnik that the allegations were "false." Asked to comment, Karen Kwiatkowski, a retired US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel turned anti-neoconservative activist, told Sputnik that these evacuees were likely people that the US military and intelligence establishment wanted to protect, "particularly people with evidence that could be used against the US [during] negotiations."
