Ingredients
1 pound angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lemon, juiced, plus 1/2 lemon, zested
1/2 cup dry white wine
5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
Directions
- Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water, over medium heat, and cook until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once shimmering and hot, add the shrimp and saute until just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and reserve. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, then saute for until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and white wine and raise the heat to high. Let the liquid reduce for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter, add a ladleful of the pasta cooking water and return the shrimp. Remove from the heat.
- Drain the pasta in a colander, and add it to the skillet along with the chopped parsley and toss. Add the lemon zest and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
This has not been the best summer for my garden but, along with bell peppers, the parsley and oregano have grown very well.
On the recipe above, I do like to substitute lime for lemon from time to time.
Okay, now for scary and horrifying. Leslie Murtagh (WSWS) reports:
A “Cyber Boot Camp” headed by computer programming school Fullstack Academy began its first round of courses in June, kicking off a $100M cybersecurity initiative by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).
The NYCEDC plans to develop New York City as a center of state/corporate internet surveillance. The program, called Cyber NYC, has already opened two large facilities in Manhattan run by Israeli venture capital and innovation companies and established two major educational initiatives intended to “create the next generation of cybersecurity experts.”
While the term cybersecurity is often used to mean protecting corporate databases and computer systems from penetration or attack, it has taken on new meaning since the Democratic Party created the sham of Russian “meddling” in the 2016 US election to explain Donald Trump’s victory, rather than wide-spread disgust at the ruling establishment.
These claims have served to justify massive surveillance and censorship measures across the internet, including Google, Facebook and Twitter, seeking to block the spread of and access to oppositional views under the guise of combating “fake news.”
An examination of the Cyber NYC’s partners and investors exposes a full-on collaboration between academia, major corporations and US and Israeli military-intelligence agencies to step up cyber-surveillance and internet censorship.
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot" for Friday:
Friday, July 26, 2019. Joe Biden continues to struggle while insisting, "Come at me, bro!"
Starting in the US where the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nominee is on.
25 are seeking the nomination, 20 will be allowed to debate over two nights next week. The press has declared War Hawk Joe Biden the front runner.
The people have not spoken.
But Joe keeps speaking, keeps putting his foot in his mouth.
America needs Medicare For All. Joe says "no" while running on Barack Obama's coattails. There's a problem.

America needs Medicare For All. Joe says "no" while running on Barack Obama's coattails. There's a problem.
Joe Biden released this new video arguing against Medicare for All, while President Obama himself praised the idea
Guess Joe's not as close to Barack as he likes to claim.
In a new development, Joe has issued a warning, his version of "Come at me, bro."
Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden is out with a stark warning for his opponents ahead of next week's debates. He's saying: if you come at me, this time, I’m ready to hit back.
@EdOKeefe reports.
If you come at me this time, I'm ready to hit back.
Hmm.
A president needs to be ready on day one, Joe. And supposedly you have all this experience that makes you so qualified. But you can't handle your first debate?
Joe's an embarrassment.
Which is why support for Joe continues to drop. And then drop some more.
"Please clap...
"Though every poll still shows him running atop the Democratic field, since he joined the race in late April, Biden’s support has been cut almost in half.
Whatever Joe does in next week's debate, let's hope he lays off the make up. I haven't seen so much foundation on anyone since a TV actress with a heroin habit in the 80s.
Joe Biden will forever be the War Hawk who sold the Iraq War and kept it going. He's not the only one. Many did so in the US and elsewhere. In Australia . . .
John Howard is a War Criminal. He's the forgotten War Criminal because Tony Blair was Bully Boy Bush's lapdog and no one could ever figure out what was lower than a lapdog. Whatever that was, it's John Howard.
Meanwhile . . .
True or false? Who knows. Haythem is a well known liar with a long streak of lies. He's also State of Law -- but isn't that redundant? He's lied about government formation in the past, he's lied about so much. He also has a history of being seen by the Iraqi people as a tool of Iran. If people are being declared terrorist by the US government, then they can always fight the charges. The declaration would only make formal what's been stated by the military brass to the press for years.
