India just unveiled the world's largest solar plant:
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/...
It only took 8 months to build it.
India will be the third largest solar market this year.

less coal burning means less mercury in fish.

But Trump allowed coal miners to dump their crap into water, polluting it and of course, the fish down stream.

And while the rich coal mine owners line their pockets with more money, the communities that they destroyed have to buy bottled water.

Privatize the profits and socialize the costs - including the health costs to the people.

Yeah. Capitalism. Yeah. Trump. Making America Great again....more like throwing it back decades.

Coal is a shit fuel, it's outdated, old, inefficient and should just die. It's not cheap, either. It only SEEMS cheap because the costs are being subsidized by the rest of us.

I was going to rely with a joke about terrorists using exploding phones and not burner* ones, but then I released that was the Israelis.

* I'm not even convinced that current terrorists in the EU/USA would know to use burner phones - they seem to be too bloody stupid. The only reason they seem to succeed is sheer luck rather than skill. The current crop also seem to be drug using, alcohol drinking rentboys.

It doesn't affect 87% of all Muslims, so it isn't a ban, and it affects the 10% Christian populations of those countries and other religions, so it isn't a religious thing.

Section 5 (b) of the executive order:
"Upon the resumption of USRAP admissions, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, is further directed to make changes, to the extent permitted by law, to prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality."

Considering every one of these countries are majority Muslim, this is indeed a religious thing.

Muslims in the US have come out in favor of extreme vetting

And yet, more speak out in opposition.

some Muslim *countries* have come out in favor of the ban

Oh good. The countries who actually have originated people who commit terrorist acts on US soil in the past 40 years aren't upset because they weren't on the ban list. This makes the US safer how, again?

and the president's approval rating has jumped 5 points

So polls by media outlets with a conservative lean that support your position are trustworthy, but all others are "fake news" put out by the "mainstream media". Just want to make sure I've got the logic sorted out here.

And for the record, Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952:

"Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrant's or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."

Obama used this same law at least six times between 2010 and 2014 against people in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Crimea

The act was invoked as a direct reaction to the civil war in Syria, the formation of ISIS, its subsequent offensive into Iraq, and the annexation of Crimea. All major regional events. The act was invoked this time to block entry by terrorists from countries with no recent major events. Technically the president has the power under the act to say, "only caucasian females with blonde hair weighing between 100 and 140 pounds may enter the US," but he still has to justify it.

Can someone explain how this is anything to get worked up over?

In the simplest terms, because executive orders that very blatantly do not help any of the things they say they are for are not a good thing.

Gender Netural Graham, Chuck You Schumer, Hillary, Mark Zuckerberg, Hollywood elites, or the establishment globalist media.

Well, that ended pretty predictably. At least the pro-Trump diehard posts are consistent in their straw man demonizing.

Speaking as someone who has spent thousands of dollars in legal assistance getting the appropriate visa in place allowing me to work in the US (but luckily am not from one of the countries in the executive order)... go fuck yourself. This isn't about American jobs, its about screwing over people you don't like and trying to win political points with morons.

People have spent years getting those visas. People may have even been living the in US for decades. This is not a moratorium on new visas, this is retroactively screwing people who have followed the process to get into the US legally.

I don't get it either.

The order does not affect people from other countries, it doesn't affect people from your country, and it specifically doesn't affect *you*.

It doesn't affect 87% of all Muslims, so it isn't a ban, and it affects the 10% Christian populations of those countries and other religions, so it isn't a religious thing.

And the DHS has further clarified the executive order by saying that it doesn't affect green-card holders.

Furthermore, many countries don't allow immigration at all, and many other countries have onerous requirements to immigrate, so the US is not unusual in that regard. Obama banned immigration from Cuba, and Carter banned immigration from Iran with no fanfare.

The "no fanfare" bit - was that because Obama and Carter were Democrat? Or was there some other difference(*) that no one has noticed?

Muslims in the US have come out in favor of extreme vetting, some Muslim *countries* have come out in favor of the ban, and the president's approval rating has jumped 5 points.

Add in the fact that this is a temporary ban, that the order specifically directs the departments to sort it out, and that this was a campaign promise... it looks less like a fascist order and more like a reasonable and prudent order(*).

I *honestly* don't see why anyone thinks that this is a big deal.

It rather looks suspiciously like an issue of convenience - something people can protest without actually caring about which side they're on.

Is it anything else?

Can someone explain how this is anything to get worked up over?

(*) And for the record, Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952:

Obama used this same law at least six times between 2010 and 2014 against people in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Crimea without even a whimper from the ACLU, ADL, John McCain, Gender Netural Graham, Chuck You Schumer, Hillary, Mark Zuckerberg, Hollywood elites, or the establishment globalist media.

So he banned refugees from 7 Muslim countries, and that is supposed to raise alarms, when various European and Asian countries have done far worse? Japan rejects more than 99% of all refugee applicants, and nobody is getting their panties in a knot except the UN, and Japan told them to go suck an egg.

The numbers for 2015: Out of 7,586 refugee applicants from all over the world (not just the Middle East), they accepted 27. That's one out of every 280. The prime minister has told the UN that henceforth he will not accept ANY Syrian refugees - he needs to boost his own country's work force first.

Asked by reporters at the UN General Assembly last September whether Japan would join other countries in accepting Syrian refugees, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe replied that his country needed to boost its own workforce first by empowering more women and older people to work.

"As an issue of demography, I would say that before accepting immigrants or refugees, we need to have more activities by women, by elderly people and we must raise [the] birthrate," he said, according to the official translation of his comments.

"There are many things that we should do before accepting immigrants."

Some problems are not fixable. What are you going to recommend doing when two billion people are going to be seeking refugee status because of over-population and war and famine and disease over the next 35 years? At some point you need to do triage.

I have a little question for you, just something that I've been curious about: why do police in Dubai drive really expensive sports cars? They're Lamborghinis and such, but not all the same - high-end sports cars from a bunch of different manufacturers. How does that fit in to this mindset?

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/04/2013411112032382393.html

But the green-and-white car will probably not be roaring after law breakers in Dubai, an emirate in which local media said 33 people had been killed in car accidents in the first two months of this year.

will be mostly dispatched to tourist areas to show - in the words of deputy police director General Khamis Matter al-Muzaina - "how classy Dubai is".

State Bling.

Yes

If the Tories want to keep their jobs and not get swept out by UKIP, they're still going to have to pass Brexit. I very much suspect Theresa May would be sacked if she doesn't invoke Article 50 when she says she will: UKIP and its neo-fascist voters seem willing to insist on showing how much they disdain immigrants above all other considerations, the dire warnings of nearly every reputable economist notwithstanding.

The funny part is where the Brits seem to think they have a choice on whether they get a "hard" or "soft" Brexit: As Al Jazeera's commentator argues, the EU is going into negotiations with such a hilariously imbalanced advantage -- the negotiations are likely going to be conducted in French -- that the UK really should consider itself lucky if they can manage to walk away with any agreement at all (instead of the entirely possible scenario of them being booted from the EU and concomitantly the WTO and having to renegotiate all their agreements with everybody).

So long, Brits! You decided to enact the geopolitical equivalent of cutting off your nose to spite your face in the most ridiculously exaggerated way possible, all to prove how much you despise foreigners, and now it's going to bite you in the ass! Enjoy sleeping in the bed you shit your very own self, because we sure will.

All that really matters is whether the leaks are true. In the case of Podesta's emails, we can validate them by the DKIM signature. We know how Podesta was hacked, though, it was exactly this phishing email. See how that is a bitly link to "reset" his Google password? What I don't know is how they could possibly miss that GMail would flag this saying something like "THIS IS NOT FROM GOOGLE YOU MORON."

Similarly, whether or not that was American intelligence that hacked a top Russian aide, what's perhaps more worrying is that Hillary has been pushing for a no-fly-zone that would leave us shooting down Russian planes over Syria. To most people who know about the area, this sounds like a great way to start WWIII. This might help explain why she's so eager to to expand the draft so women can #FightForHer.

Because of course the Hague and all international agreements are nothing compared to historic claims of ownership. We should all bow down and accept that China illegally annexed that territory.

There is not much difference between the European angle and the American angle. If you truly want another angle, then you will get it with sites like Al Jazeera.com, RT and Chinadaily.

The same people proposing the facial recognition very recently rejected proposals to ban Burqas.

Actually De Maizière was the one speaking out for the ban the loudest.

But please don't let facts get in the way of your "Lügenpresse" rants.Are you on that picture by chance?

Most recent ground strike I could find was near the end of last year. http://america.aljazeera.com/a...

Its a small problem but a problem none the less.

All the money in the world couldn't get me to a third-world country like India. The honor killings, mobs murdering people suspected of eating beef, thousands being tortured and executed on suspicion of being a witch, 80% of their rivers choked with raw, untreated sewage, rampant corruption, modern slavery, and their prime minister is a nutter are all things I try to avoid.

I don't see anything that he's said or done that comes anywhere near the level of atrocity that the Nazis were responsible for.

Thank goodness, can you imagine if that was allowed to happen again AND the man behind it was still within spitting distance of the Presidency?

Do you seriously think the majority of the Republican voters are neo-Nazis? That's insane.

Yes, it is, an insanity, a subtle and tempting one, but an insanity nonetheless.

They want border control and they want our existing immigration laws enforced while we consider ways to improve on them. No bait in switch with amnesty and broken promises. Reagan and others fell for that trick. A lot of people want defending our nation to take priority over coddling terrorists. That's not an extreme position either.

Not on the surface no, but there's been a long history of calls for "law and order" to conceal a deeply vicious cycle, especially against immigrants and yes, even terrorists. Yet have you noticed similar treatment of justice among other laws or sentiments that reflect a true concern? Do they ever speak against those who abuse and mistreat immigrants? Do they seek to have any other laws enforced?

Or are they like, Trump who says:

Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, right? He was a bad guy—really bad guy. But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read 'em the rights. They didn't talk. They were a terrorist—it was over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism. You want to be a terrorist? You go to Iraq. It's like Harvard. Okay?

Yay for despotism, right?

I think Trump won the nomination in part because of this type of rhetoric that's used against the political right in this country. Trump says what he thinks and doesn't let political correctness or opinion polls stand in his way. The same couldn't be set of the other party candidates. I don't think most of the media understands that nor do many of those on the political left.

Why would you say that? What have you read? Do you understand what the Left or the media thinks? Or were one of you the people that believed everybody thought Trump would never win? I'd thought he'd never actually run, but win?

But sure, blaming the PC Police is pretty common on the Right. It's the bogeyman that lets any idiot say whatever they want, and get the crowd to cheer, because those damn PC-sticklers will be offended!

He got a lot of heat for his comments when he visited Belgium because he pointed out a risk they were taking with their dense pockets of immigrants, yet after the heat died down, Belgium suffered a serious terror attack from terrorists who lived among those immigrants. That doesn't make him a Nazi, it makes him a candidate. He pointed out the elephant in the room and was right when lesser politicians would have said nothing for fear of appearing politically incorrect. Lives are at stake.

Oh wow, he got one right. Or so he believes

As mentioned, this *is* a law. But laws can be changed.

Women can be, and have been, elected to national political office in Iran. In fact, 84 of 435 (19.3%) of their national representatives are women. That isn't that great, admittedly, but at least it's--

Oh wait, those are the US house of reps numbers. Our senate has 20 women out of 100 senators, roughly the same ratio.

Meanwhile, Iranian women MPs are 21 of 290, or 7%. But before you argue how backwards that is compared to the US, reflect that it is roughly the representation the US had in the early 1990s.

So there's hope for a more representational government, both for Iran and the US.

You sure sound like a Clinton drone with more nonsense that Trump is somehow like Hitler. Is that because he wants to protect borders from *illegal* immigrants? Or stem the flow of new voters who come from a fundamentalist religion that oppresses women? Is it because the Trump organization hires so few black people? Oh wait...he hired a higher percentage of African Americans and Latinos than anyone else in the race. Is it because he hates women? Evidence please. Is it because he hates Jews? Oh wait... His daughter is Jewish.

Talk about a "false scandal". Enough with your Clinton propaganda.

Trump isn't like Hitler, he's more like Mussolini without the uniform fetish. About "immigrant defence", he want's to build a stupid wall he claimed would cost 4 billion then, 6 then 8 then 12 billion. The border guard does not want a wall, they want border patrol in depth with mobile patrol teams and drones/helicopters, because they think the only thing a 30 foot wall will do is "create a market for 31 foot ladders" (That's a direct quote) and because something like half the illegal immigrants coming into the US are coming through airports or some alternative route that a wall wouldn't guard against and the same goes for drugs. If Trump builds that wall it will just drive the drug cartels to build more and bigger submarines and dig better tunnels. Furthermore the US Congressional Budget Office estimated that the maintenance costs of such a wall would exceed the construction cost within a decade. Can you please explain to us how Trump is going to make Mexico pay for it? And will Mexico just pay for the construction or the maintenance as well? Presumably Trump got this idea from the Israeli "security wall", this is what things are like at the "security wall" these days: Regarding "a fundamentalist religion that oppresses women", you are presumably talking about Muslims there so all Muslims are religious fundamentalists who oppress women? Care to back that gross generalization up with some facts? Finally, I don't think Trump actually and literally 'hates' women he's just an unabashed misogynist which is a psychological disorder that can take many forms and will not help his chances at the ballot box.

you're playing a little too loose with what does what.

the 1st Amendment only protects religion from government, not from public discrimination.
it has no bearing on discrimination by any non-governmental entities.
it has no bearing on public accommodations, or the right of a religious baker to refuse to bake a cake for a lesbian wedding.

the civil rights and anti discrimination laws have their basis in the 14th amendment, though their concepts didnt exist explicitly until they were written.
And those laws (collectively "public accommodations" and "anti discrimination" are what protect religious groups in the public square in the same fashion as minorities. The same concept that says businesses have to do business with all of the public, includes religious persons.

Your pork example is a poorly constructed straw man, particularly since it's in fact wrong.
You're actually pretty ignorant in this area:

http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types...

Religious Discrimination & Reasonable Accommodation

The law requires an employer or other covered entity to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices, unless doing so would cause more than a minimal burden on the operations of the employer's business. This means an employer may be required to make reasonable adjustments to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice his or her religion.

Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices.

An employer that provides lunch to its employees, if it has a Muslim employee, should in fact provide a pork-free alternative. That actually is a reasonable accommodation. As is allowing a Muslim women to wear a head scarf on the job, recently affirmed in a lawsuit against A&F: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/... . And so are prayer breaks, generally (the meat packer case, being an assembly line operation dependent on every worker has yet to be resolved, and may be an exception that is deemed not reasonable).

These are not willy-nilly demands, they are in fact well known tenets of the religion and established reasonable accommodations.

You should have chosen better straw men.

It is incorrect to conflate prostitution and human trafficking. Even if every street-prostitute could be shown to be willingly engaged, that does not mean that there isn't a separate market for people kidnapped against their will. I doubt I could back this up with statistics because of the nature of the crime. People get estranged from their families and disappear into cults like scientology and EST/landmark-education never to be heard from again. I lived in a house where the owners were involved in EST and one of them went missing, abandoning her dog and belongings in Texas. She was spotted in NM and the only evidence afterward was cryptic blog post about "finding her new home". Case unsolved.

There are reports about attempted kidnappings of children every couple days in LA. What do you think the purpose of those kidnappings is?

        I have run into 'traveling magazine sales vans' since I was a teenager hanging out in places that I probably shouldn't have. I once told them I would join up and had them give a ride across town. I just jumped out and bolted into the woods instead of going to pick up my stuff like I had told them. I knew it was some scammy shit but I thought I was invincible at the time, so I was just trying to get a free taxi ride. These people learn to spot victims that have fallen through the cracks of society.

        The most valuable thing for a good portion of humanity is sex, especially for people who already have plenty of money. I have heard stories from Mexican girls in East LA about being sold back and forth between gang members for thousands of dollars. They don't even try and report it to the police because they think no one will believe them. Gangs or cults have made it into a profession to control every aspect of a person's life. The street term for someone marked for sale is a "barbie doll". There is a lot more to the criminal underworld than what makes it to the police blotter.

They are conflated--trafficking is a source of women who are prostituted against their will and don't see a way out. It is common for men to purchase sex with trafficking victims and never have a clue the person is coerced.

Every_single_day there are stories published about people being murdered with guns in Chicago. If you were keeping up with current events, you wouldn't have to ask for proof of that.

Now, presuming that those links satisfy your need for a citation - let me ask something. Can you point to any instance of prohibition in this country that has worked? Prohibition of alcohol and Chicago added up to an Al Capone. Prohibition of cannabis and Chicago adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars in cannabis trade, annually. Prohibition of firearms and Chicago adds up to thousands of dead people, annually.

Get rid of stupid damned laws, and let the people sort it out. A law abiding citizen will seldom use his weapon in an unacceptable manner. A crook will often use his weapon inappropriately. Sooner or later, the crook will meet a law abiding citizen who is armed, willing and able to put the crook in his grave. Eventually, all but the very stupidest people will figure out that a life of crime always results in being shot.

Dump the stupid laws. Chicago is incapable of enforcing any kind of prohibition - so give the guns to law abiding people!

The summary suggests that these elections democratic, when in reality they were the most blatantly rigged elections in the country's history.

Opposition leaders were repeatedly arrested, often denied the ability to hold rallies, and had their offices raided by the government on multiple occasions. There were even mysterious disappearances of opposition campaign staff: http://www.observer.ug/news-he...

On election day, voting materials in Kampala -- the opposition stronghold -- did not show up at polling stations until an hour before polling was scheduled to close. Social media was deliberately blocked, and even Mobile Money was shut down in order to undermine the oppositions ability to pay fuel and food costs for its polling station workers: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02...

Al Jazeera covered an incident where opposition claimed to have found a vote rigging center in Nuguru, a Kampala suburb. When the opposition showed up with cameras, and knocked on the gate, two men jumped over the fence and ran. After being apprehended, they turned out to be carrying police issue guns and other equipment. Police then swiftly arrived and arrested everyone for attempted to trespass on a government intelligence facility: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/...

Also: I don't know where this number of VPN downloads comes from. I see it everywhere, and have for days, yet nobody can cite a source for it, and every journalist I know has failed to independently verify it. While it is true (and great news) that a very significant number of people in Uganda quickly managed to work around the blockade, I would view the download figures with extreme skepticism.

>The Democrats aren't the ones telling me that Mexicans are rapists,
No, they're just trying to tell you that all straight college white men are and need to take classes to teach them not to rape. Because, uh, "rape culture". However, Six women murdered each day as femicide in Mexico nears a pandemic.

The word "feminicidio" first entered the vernacular in the 1990s, with explosive rates of disappearances and murders of women in the border town of Ciudad Juárez. In fact, more women have been killed in the state of Mexico, which surrounds the capital city of the same name. The number doubled from 2005 to 2011, when the current national president, Enrique Peña Nieto, was governor of the state. Today he has pledged to combat drug violence overall but has not spoken out against femicides.

Impunity is the main motor of the gender crime, Güezmes says, as well as social norms that allow the violence to be ignored or accepted as a normal part of life. She describes femicides as the extreme end of a society where 63 percent of women have suffered abuse by male hands. She estimates that maybe a third or half of the cases involved sexual partners. The balance — abductions, rapes and discarding the bodies like garbage — are probably linked to the generalized drug violence that is tearing Mexico apart.

Someone is raping and killing those women and dumping their bodies near the border. I doubt you can chalk it all up to frat guys.

Al-Nusra Front Confirms Deaths of 300 Terrorists in Syria's Aleppo
http://sputniknews.com/middlee...

WOW, the title Syrian war: Russian-backed offensive in Aleppo has killed 500 people this month, Observatory says
http://www.abc.net.au/news/201...

But actually, by at least 500 people, including 89 civilians, have been killed since the Russian-backed offensive on Aleppo province began earlier this month
Now, do your homework!

Hospitals in opposition-held parts of Syria are refusing to share GPS coordinates with Russian and Syrian authorities because of repeated attacks on medical facilities and workers, Médecins Sans Frontières and humanitarian workers on the ground have said.
“Given the number of hospitals that have been bombed since the war started, they do not think [giving GPS coordinates] is going to protect them, rather the opposite,” another official said.

Don't let the title fool you. The WHOLE article does NOT have a word, or phrase suggest that they STOP provide GPS coordinates to Russia AFTER the incident. In fact, as the quote, they have never provided the data.
Further details:
http://news.yahoo.com/syrian-g...

The charity, also known by its French acronym MSF, says repeated attacks against health facilities during Syria's five-year civil war have led medical staffers to ask the group not to provide the GPS coordinates of some sites. This was the case of the makeshift clinic run by the charity in the Syrian town of Maaret al-Numan, which was hit four times in attacks on Monday, killing at least 25 people.

OTOH, the Kunduz hospital was the brightest lit building, with flag were easy recognize AND they provided GPS data, and they repeats the claim that "the strikes continued for half an hour after U.S. and Afghan authorities were told the hospital was being bombed" .
After that, tanks entered and destroyed the evidences.

While no-one know which was Russian or Syrian bombing or "other" airforces (remember the airstrike that killed numbers of SAA soldiers, no one know who did this).

EXCEPT:

http://america.aljazeera.com/a...

"...that sparked deadly protests across the Muslim world."
Bullshit. Those who repeat this lie are the diehard Clinton supporters who do not possess a shred of intellectual honesty.

I never knew that Al Jazeera was among the diehard Clinton supporters.

From the Arab backed media outlets timeline linked above, dozens of people died and hundreds more were injured in the protests. That is the definition of deadly protests so I've not a clue were you are coming from save complete and total ignorance.

Okay thanks for the clarification but I have to disagree.

While the Indian government puts a premium on protecting girls (perhaps because of the gender imbalance), perspective parents evidently do not.

Al Jazeera English was good enough. I was watching it on FTA satellite TV before Al Jazeera America launched. For some reason it is now encrypted on GlobeCast Channel 463 (Galaxy 19 12152 H, transponder 26).

When Al Jazeera America came out I was mystified. Its older sister Al Jazeera English was more than good enough. At the same time A-J English was removed from MHz Networks' UHF channels in the DC area and replaced with A-J America. Hopefully MHz Networks will be able to offer A-J English again.

Really? I remember recently the really half assed article below was brought to my attention. This is so far from being unbiased or even vaguely researched it is funny. The author did no research into SBS and constantly describes something that is very federally illegal as if it was legal to do.

That article is also far from the first time I've seen them do something like this.

For what did they send the 12 year old to jail?

What country sends 12 year olds to jail for anything anyways?

Texas is part of the United Sates of America.

Of course linking to an Al-Jazeera article feels a bit illegitimate, but it did come up first in my Google search:

I think you guys got it wrong. Trump didn't talk about black-listing APNIC or cutting off the US... He proposed closing that Internet up in some ways. I'm not saying he is going to actually do anything of what he trumpets, even if he gets elected. But, just so as to get his proposal straight, consider:

• It addresses traditional one-way communication; the press has to be responsible,
• mentions kids that are watching the Internet, and
• is worried about inside recruiters, we have a lot of foolish people.

The proposal consists of shutting the Internet down completely. In fact, when we had old, dial-up MSN, and the Internet was almost unused, there were no terrorists popping up out of nowhere, at least not Muslims. That makes sense, let's see Bill Gates. It doesn't matter if we have invested so much in maintaining that global communication infrastructure, security is vital, business is optional. Don't you think so? See this.

The environmentalists are going to complain it doesn't go far enough and the politicians in all of the countries that matter are just going to ignore it or cheat it.

You're mistaken. The main goal of this treaty is to stop TERRORISM, because you know, global warming caused the Paris attack. Feel the Burn!

That is true, but stupid people often think that anyone wearing a turban is Islamic. Seriously.

As a side note, It's interesting to see that Gamergate's war against "corruption in the games media" now extends to fabricating evidence to slander their critics. I guess Gamergaters really are dedicated to showing us all who the truly dishonest people are...

He acutely called for a database:

Donald Trump, who is leading in a recent NBC News poll among Republican voters, told NBC News on Thursday that he "would certainly implement" a database system for tracking Muslims.

"There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases," he added. "We should have a lot of systems."

Nothing subtle there.

So at what point does the "smart cop" decide to stop them? After they've killed 129 people?

That's always the tough call to make when receiving intelligence from sources. For instance during WW2 the British received information about German bombing raids in advance through agents but sometimes had to choose not to evacuate civilians near the targets so that the source would not be compromised and could continue to provide intelligence. Hindsight is 20/20 and we don't know what Western intelligence agencies knew before the Paris attacks.

Bullcrap. Turkey warned about one of the Paris attackers by name:

A senior Turkish official provided background information to Al Jazeera on Monday about one of the attackers, 29-year-old Paris native Omar Ismail Mostefai, who died in the attack on the Bataclan concert hall on Friday night.

The official said Mostefai entered Turkey in 2013, and that there was no record of him ever leaving.

In October 2014, France asked for information from Turkish intelligence about four "terror suspects", the official said, adding that during their investigation, Turkish authorities identified Mostefai as a fifth suspect.

Turkish authorities "notified their French counterparts twice - in December 2014 and June 2015 [about Mostefai]," the official said.

"We have, however, not heard back from France on the matter. It was only after the Paris attacks that the Turkish authorities received an information request about Omar Ismail Mostefai from Turkey."

To quote from Cool Hand Luke, "What we have here is a failure to com-mu-ni-cate".

Specifically: she said she turned over all work-related emails, but did not do so. Now, it's possible it wasn't an intentional lie, which is why I'm willing to wait for the investigation to see how bad it is.

Parent did NOT deserve 'Troll'. The study mentioned in TA is controversial. People are moderating with their balls not their brains, and their balls shrivel up when anyone suggests there may not be some dire emergency at Fukushima related to killer radiation. But even so,

We've seen this hoax before, why am I not surprised there are people still pushing it? The only difference with this one is how poorly written it is. Cancer rates are actually lower than expected/normal around Fukushima.

Calling it a 'hoax' is going way too far, you should calm down too. It's still early to make definitive statements about cancers, but there is certainly no 'spike'. One of the main reasons the government took the (courageous) position that the thyroid abnormalities were unlikely to be associated with the disaster was, abnormal nodules were detected 'too soon' after the disaster when screening began, and their own health professionals assured them that these conditions take years to develop and were more likely the result of some pre-existing condition. And the last in-depth study was some 10 years prior, so when Fukushima occurred there was a lack of recent baseline. A cause for concern surely but not

The same old deception. Use data from ultrsensitive tests that detect more pre-cancerous cells than what is found under normal testing, then claim that is an increase. But when these same tests are performed on control groups anywhere, they find similar increases in detection of pre-cancerous cells. A simple read of these claims show they completely lack any reasonable baseline or control group methods. Add it to the list of deceptions that keep being debunked but keep showing up.

I'm upset at Fukushima disinfo too, but what can you do about it, especially when the AP is clearly in the market for scare stories, and the usual journalistic burden of proof and balance that applies in other things is relaxed. If your own child was given ultrasound and a 'nodule' showed up, you would not be subject to a hysterical reaction. The doctor would assure you that it should be monitored, but they do form and dissolve naturally. You'd be given nutritional supplements. Yet researchers feel free to insinuate a cause when it suits them. And even if they don't, journalists feel free to insinuate on their behalf by offering side-stories that make a 'connection'. To the slashdotter who ejaculated

It's their fault for not being born in the great state of AMERIKA!

and was also modded Troll... you're not far off the mark. The United States and others have added potassium iodide (for iodine) to its table salt for some 80 years now to counter endemic Goitre. Traditionally Japan has not iodized its salt because the national diet has been heavy with seaweed, a natural source, and there were were concerns that fortified salt plus seaweed might supply an over-abundance of iodine, which is also harmful. Perhaps some Japanese children have been starting to prefer Western diets and should, as are other rural populations, consider the benefits of iodization.

And, of course, the article linked in the submission doesn't actually even present a real case of cancer, just hints there may be, and twists quotes from random sources, not showing the context in which they were stated. They reference the data is from a university study, but do not supply the conclusions of that study nor write the article with input from anyone involved in that study.

A Brief History of US Imperialism and State Violence in Colombia

From the 1960s to the late 2000s, the United States government has played a decisive role in how the Colombian state has carried out its brutal war against left-wing dissidents and Colombian civil society.

Recent history in Colombia reads like something out of a dystopian horror novel.

A recently released report from Human Rights Watch describes how between 2002 and 2008, the Colombian military kidnapped and murdered “hundreds, possibly thousands of civilians”, typically “rural peasants, drug addicts, the homeless, and petty criminals”, and dressed them up as rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Union leaders regularly targeted for assassination. making Colombia consistently top the charts of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a labor organizer. Recently released documents have shown how Chiquita Brands International, a major US banana company, maintained close ties with right-wing death squads
who threatened, kidnapped, tortured, and killed labor organizers in the area who spoke out against low wages and poor working conditions. Agricultural industries, like the palm oil sector, appear to have grown in the last decade through a repeated pattern where paramilitary groups forcibly displace peasants from promising agricultural lands and then sell those lands to multinationals.

  As of 2014, Colombia had at least 5.7 million internally displaced people (~11% of the total population); only Syria had a higher number of displaced people.

The story, by Greg Miller, recounts daily meetings with senior officials from the FBI, CIA, and State Department, all desperately trying to come up with ways to capture Snowden. One official told Miller: “We were hoping he was going to be stupid enough to get on some kind of airplane, and then have an ally say: ‘You’re in our airspace. Land.’ ” He wasn’t. And since he disappeared into Russia, the US seems to have lost all trace of him.

Thirdly, because of outside CIS reader can't read Russian, the MSM can spin story likely: 'suspected Russian submarine' crashed Irish fishing boat in May and silently revealed in September it is really the Royal Navy one (of course without apology).

How to write a propaganda piece on Russia (RT)

Fourthly, yes Russians are not smart enough to use 'creative propaganda' (misleading headline, hit-n-run stories, redirected tactics, buried 'harmful' article under tons of entertainment stories...), but compare to Ukraine:
TheMoscowTimes, Novaya Gazeta (have English version) are explicitly against government, their articles are mostly in this direction, there is no 'positive' news. There Echo, NEWS.ru ... I can't confirm when I don't read Russian.

Compare to Ukraine, the Kiyvtimes, was actively against Yanukovich, now actively support the government (surprised!?). The opposition journalists, politicians of Ukraine were kills (about 6-7 of them) in bloody week not long after the death of Nemtsov.
The western medias not interested in this story, if they reported, they did not forget to add the story of Nemtsov beside these.

Igor Miroshnichenko is still strong and healthy. (searching for Ukraine rada fighting in Youtube)

Recently, Ukraine ban 'pro-Russian' from European countries (later lifted the ban, EU journalists only), but if this is Russia, the reaction must be different:

Too what extremist christian sect are you referring....I am sick and tired of hearing this as an argument. Please, citation, what modern christian group has danced around in the streets because innocent civilians where killed? ....Im waiting....I really want to hear your response....

Here's one ongoing genocide of Muslims by Christians. As to what sect they are, I have no clue, but they do consider themselves Christians, and I haven't heard other Christians denouncing them, so...

If you throw up enough backwards left-handed three-pointers, eventually one will go in. That doesn't mean you're cut out for the NBA.

There are what appears to be some sound ideas even in the craziest of extremists, but getting the occasional right answer does not justify the backwards thinking. Here's a great example: http://projects.aljazeera.com/... Matthew Heimbach is crazy, and yet he hits the mark occasionally. That doesn't decrease the crazy, just at Trump wanting to eliminate H-1Bs doesn't make his immigration policy sound.

I think I've covered the best - be aware, some national sites are heavy into propaganda. Pravda very much so, RT somewhat less so.

Depending on your own interests - you might type in some country in a Google search, and add "times" or "post" or "news". From time to time, I do something like that - the earthquake in Tibet for instance. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=pale... That search offered up a number of sites, but I didn't add any of them to my feeds. Note that many of the hits are very politicized, but you can still find Tibetan news sources among them.

Have fun!
