I don't see the link to part 2 in part one so here it is. This is where most of the WH stuff is discussed.
https://www.alternet.org/grayz...

I think for a two sentence summary that's not too bad.

There is a two part article about the white helmets https://www.alternet.org/world...

Al Qaeda likes them a lot. Not my opinion, theirs. The WH been very valuable in the propaganda war.

The topic article of course is entirely about discrediting any information which comes out about the White Helmets.

We've had a lot of this discrediting of dissent by linking it to Russian Trolls and there will be a lot more. It works very well.

Not only that, Europeans live longer, are healthier, happier, and have more (and better) sex than Americans.

The way that theory arose is because the theory about onesided propaganda was not tenable. So there was a switch to backup theory: it's just to divide. And it has the bonus that everyone who is involved in any kind of opposition becomes divisive and therefore suspicious: they could be funded by the Russians! There has even been a next level model: when you can't even make sense of the division model, just switch to 'they try to build up trust' model. Kittens!
It's textbook conspiracy thinking: it can never be proven wrong.

The dynamics of what people want you to believe is much more important than what the Russians have or haven't been doing. Alliance for Securing Democracy is a proven propaganda outlet, and there nobody seems to care. Certainly you don't.
This just out, it talks about the people behind this 'Alliance': https://www.alternet.org/grayz... .

I don't know if these authors have already been accused of being paid by the Russians. It's always safe to call them useful idiots though.

Do you have a source for that claim? Or are you just being racist against white people?

Are there sources? We could provide sources for you all day.

Could fake news turn out to be good news?

When they are not less true than official news, yes. Ostensibly, this is often the case.

ah, little Troller Boy is still upset in defense of, again, the perennial martyr of the Right, the Great Sarah Palin, the least contributory of all of the losing VP-candidates throughout history, the one who all you have to say about is over the mean liberals and leftists who say such harsh words.

How Sad that that's ALL you can offer about her. Or her drones.

It's ok, we know you have nothing. No leadership. No integrity. It's trolling all the way down for Dumb-Ass-Troll.

You better give a link, because googling vitam fraud (at least from my region/user) does not give the results you are speaking of. It does give results about *herbal* supplement being fraud having none of the annoucned ingredient, but nothing about vitamin product, frankly most of which are actually sold for a few euros here around in bottle of 30 or 40 (and the ingredient lsit is not advisory for those AFAIK), and are sold by the mainline producer, and since they are mostly mixing up different (relatively cheap with respect to the quantities) chemicals in different proportion rather than complicated processes, I would wager there is few if any intentional fraud. OTOH this is an interresting read : https://www.alternet.org/perso... (there are more traditional sources if you prefer them).

To start with: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new...
"Thirty years of official health advice urging people to adopt low-fat diets and to lower their cholesterol is having "disastrous health consequences," a leading obesity charity warned yesterday. "Eating fat does not make you fat," argues a new report by the National Obesity Forum (NOF) and the Public Health Collaboration, as they demanded a major overhaul of official dietary guidelines. ... Promoting low-fat foods is perhaps the biggest mistake in modern medical history... The report says the low-fat and low-cholesterol message, which has been official policy in the UK since 1983, was based on "flawed science" and had resulted in an increased consumption of junk food and carbohydrates. The document also accuses major public health bodies of colluding with the food industry, said the misplaced focus meant Britain was failing to address an obesity crisis which is costing the NHS £6 billion a year."

The history is even more complex. A more diverse "basic seven" was replaced by a "basic four" food groups including through industry industry lobbying, especially by the dairy industry, where "milk" and "meat" became half of the groups and the dairy industry supplying printed materials for schools:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Note that most people on the planet are lactose intolerant and pushing milk on many children even in the USA via school lunch programs and dairy industry advertising is causing them health issues. Dairy may have been a better food decades ago before so much recent alteration like the widespread use of growth hormones and antibiotics. Animal fats tend to have other risks associated with them, like too much protein and a concentration of carcinogens moving up the food chain. That said, dairy products can make sense in moderation for some people and dairy farming can be a good use of some grazing land.

They key point is that the idea of a diverse diet including a lot of fresh vegetables was being narrowed to what could be most profitably sold by big agribusiness, which for decades was mostly about dairy, meat, and processed grains.

"In December 1999, the PCRM filed suit against the USDA, claiming the department unfairly promotes the special interests of the meat and dairy industries through its official dietary guidelines and the Food Pyramid. Six of the eleven members assigned to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee were demonstrated to have financial ties to meat, dairy, and egg interests. Prior to the suit, which the PCRM won in December 2000, the USDA had refused to disclose such conflicts of interest to the general public."

Google should downlist American media too, because they also "inject themselves into US politics".

But Google already did that!!!! Alternet, Counterpunch, Democracy Now and many other independent media outlet were heavily downlisted.

Of course you only hear this from the usual suspects on the alt-right: Breitbart, Alternet, Counterpunch, World Socialist Website, etc...

They're all alt-right now, along with feminists who support women and gays who oppose getting thrown off rooftops and Jews who oppose being exterminated from their own homeland. If you didn't get the memo, expect to lose your job and be blacklisted across Silicon Valley while they import foreigners to replace you.

I don't know how they got so enamored with nature in the first place. Nature is evil, good is unnatural. Nature is a pack of hyenas eating a baby elephant alive, or an elephant seal raping a penguin in two. In more human terms, it's the bloodsoaked and justice-free nasty, brutish and short tribal existence we've been trying to move away from throughout recorded history. We are, naturally, a species of horrifying monsters raring to unleash pure unbridled animal savagery on anyone outside our monkeysphere for personal gain. Overgrown balding chimpanzees just smart enough to be vastly more terrible. Anything that makes us different from that is against nature. That monkeysphere does constitute an important construct, and the tribe would indeed kick libertarian-minded people out to deal with the sabertoothed cats alone. It's only the widespread and relatively unconditional safety of modern societies that have allowed such unhealthy levels of individualism to evolve.

Libertarianism is largely a convenient refuge for people with darker ideologies anyway. It's a system ideal for unleashing chaos and suffering that can be disguised as just having some kind of benign grudge against government - you know, that thing that administers and pays for civilization. If you're a corporatocrat or a white supremacist or just a plain-jane cackling psychopath, it's a convenient and socially acceptable group to hide in while still furthering your political interests.

the military/law enforcement are behind these attacks. most of the people who claim there's an issue secretly hold clearances, are actors, paid shills, etc.

these people are deliberately fucking with people in order to create this epidemic of fake conspiracy theories.

even though the mainstream media is equally as bad as reporting the news accurately, and they do it all for profit, with agendas and spin if they report on the real news at all, they are now being promoted on YouTube as the defacto standard when they aren't. now they have propelled themselves to the top of the search results, without even having to pay for it, and they've managed to eliminate the voices of others.

The website https://www.alternet.org/ is a legitimate news source, since the changes the elite wealthy wanted made were implemented in the Google search engine this summer, the website has seen over 2.5 million less readers, because their website is no longer being listed in search results.

Score for the wealthy elite world domination strategy, including their desire to control the information that gets in front of you, so they can continue to deceive us all and control the flow of information. It's the ultimate in psychological warfare, strategic mass deception, and COINTELPRO2016.

More efficient production makes the economy better?

It's fair to say that efficiency CAN make the economy better, but the benefits of that betterment often don't get distributed well in practice. That uneven distribution is largely why Mr. Trump won. The slightly-Democrat-leaning rust-belt leaned toward Trump this time, bucking the trend, because they've been hit hardest by automation and outsourcing. The distribution problems can be both geographical and by class (since the rich are still getting richer).

This map shows the delta of the voting pattern per last election. The red-shifted areas fall predominantly in the rust-belt. The distribution problem has been an economic stumper of late.

I don't fully believe in Trump's claimed solutions to the rust belt, but he did focus on and popularized the issue better. If you have a back-ache, you'll probably pick the doctor who talks more about backs, even if their solutions seem nebulous.

I do see the violence on the right but I do make a distinction between actions v words and lone wolfs v groups.

Actually, what you do is try to embrace a false sanctimony as you fail to admit to the violent organizations on the right, from the Bundy Ranch militias, the Respect the Flag group, the Huttaree, and even the various Tea Party groups and others on the right-wing clamoring for a revolution. Which included Donald Trump, in 2012, with his infamous Tweetstorm.

If you want to admit to them, then fair enough, go ahead and condemn them. Say they're deplorable. Say they're repugnant. Say they're dangerous.

I don't blame the Chicago kidnapping on the left anymore than I blame the Charleston shooting on the right.

Yes, yes, you already made it clear that you want to ignore how Dylan Roof is merely one among many on the right espousing such views, but that won't make it not a fact that "they do exist in abundance.

I keep running into facts that piss me off so much about the schools around here.

Why do schools not allow 3 recesses for more physical activity? Why are school serving trash for lunch? Why the hell are the before/after care places all forcing the kids to stay indoors and be inactive?

France, Japan, and many others with thin kids allow 3 recesses/exercise breaks and serve better food.

http://www.alternet.org/food/f...

Quote: "Another bigger contribution to French students' healthy disposition? Recess. Students have two 15-minute and one 60-minute recess every day, writes Plantier, and they also have the advantage of walking or biking to and from school, which students only attend four -- not five -- days out of the week."

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/wh...

Japanese friends rave about their childhood lunches. They also all walked to and from school, about a mile or two away. When they got older, they road bikes.

I hear my kids complaining about not having enough time to eat as well. I visited once and was amazed at the time restraint. Here is an Irish article with the same problem. This can't be good.

http://www.irishtimes.com/life...

Well, you can't believe these 80% garbage stories without actual numbers/statistics. Anything is possible, so let's see the numbers. I'm also of the mind that kids, my kids for instance, eat healthier stuff the less you expose them to trash. The more junkfood they eat, the less they want to eat healthy food. If they are hungry, they are going to eat the healthy food eventually. If they aren't hungry, fine, don't eat.

We can learn some lessons from other countries maybe, or at least get ideas.

I read in the past that the French force their kids to eat the same food grownups do, and the kids adapt and eventually eat it. This article might touch on that:

Japan eats the complete opposite way to Americans. All Japanese folks rave about the excellent school lunches (blew my mind):

Story 1

This article says nothing about the Gulf coast being hit by 3, 4, maybe over half a dozen hurricanes per year. Just that as there is a observable and measurable correlation between oceans warming and hurricanes growing more frequent and severe.

Story 2

This article mostly talks about the fact that hurricanes may become more intense and that a category 6 will eventually have to be created if that happens because hurricanes with windspeed ranging from 257.5 kph to 407 kph are being lumped together into category 5. It goes on to speculate that dumping the category system might be a better idea than creating a category 6. Towards the end it even says: This oscillation means the Atlantic is expected to cool in the future, obscuring links among hurricane activity and global warming. Perhaps counterintuitively, recent computer modeling studies predict fewer tropical cyclones if the ocean heats up further as a result of global warming. But they also predict intensification of the ones that do form, albeit with limited confidence. Frequency drops by 6 to 34 percent this century, according to 2010 review article in Nature Geoscience, whereas intensity rises 2 to 11 percent. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.) , i.e. fewer hurricanes but the ones we'll get will be more severe. Nothing about the Gulf coast being hit by 3, 4, maybe over half a dozen hurricanes per year.

Story 3

The independent isn't really a scientific source but all this piece says is that somebody found evidence that warmer oceans seem to be linked to an increase in hurricane frequency and that in a warm year hurricanes are twice as likely as in a cold year. The real news here is that somebody found a way to extract data about hurricanes from old measurements made before the satellite age. They say nothing about the Gulf coast being hit by 3, 4, maybe over half a dozen hurricanes per year.

Story 4

Still nothing about the Gulf coast being hit by 3, 4, maybe over half a dozen hurricanes per year. It does talk about more hurricanes but the frequency is nothing like you claim: ”If this trend continues, it is realistic to expect a ten-fold increase in hurricanes like Katrina. That amounts to once every two years,”

Story 5

And yet again nothing about the Gulf coast being hit by 3, 4, maybe over half a dozen hurricanes per year. This guy talks about improvements in computer modelling since 2005 and seems to be making the case that global hurricane frequency will not increase but that the severity of the hurricanes we do get will increase. I.e. about the same number of hurricanes but they'll be more destructive.

Yea, you did a search.

Found all these in less than 1 minute, and everyone voted you up because they want you to be right, but obviously you are not. I like the one claiming Category 6 hurricanes will be hitting any day now.

False.

I almost forgot. Here is one example of the death threats Trump supporters have been handing out since his not-yet-verified election, not to mention a woman who took a picture with herself and Hillary Clinton after the election has been receiving death threats from Trump supporters.

And while we're on the topic of death threats, you conveniently forgot Trump supporters did the exact same thing during the primary.

But please, let's hear how it's only Hillary's supporters who are sending out death threats. After all, when it comes to Trump and his supporters, facts don't matter.

“There is no basis in fact, whatsoever, in these inaccuracies propagated by the Minnesota Majority here, none,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Wednesday. “After the most closely scrutinized election in Minnesota history in 2008, there were zero cases of fraud. Even the Republicans lawyers acknowledged that there was no systematic effort to defraud the election, none.”

Knowing a lot of people in the US oil industry, at low and at very high levels, I have a different viewpoint based on what I've heard from them

No doubt you have. Conservatives have deep dislike of the Clintons - despite the Clinton's having passed the trade deals, deregulation, and gutting of welfare that Reagan could have only dreamed of.

Bragging about drilling faster than our capacity to transport - from the White House web site itself:

So we are drilling all over the place -- right now. That's not the challenge. That's not the problem. In fact, the problem in a place like Cushing is that we're actually producing so much oil and gas in places like North Dakota and Colorado that we don't have enough pipeline capacity to transport all of it to where it needs to go -- both to refineries, and then, eventually, all across the country and around the world. Thereâ(TM)s a bottleneck right here because we canâ(TM)t get enough of the oil to our refineries fast enough. And if we could, then we would be able to increase our oil supplies at a time when they're needed as much as possible.

If the ACA is repealed my family will have to figure out how to come up with at least $60K/year to keep her alive. My parents are retired and it's far more than I can afford. While healthcare in this country is fucked up and way overpriced, the alternative for many people of repealing the ACA is far far worse.

Repealing the ACA doesn't mean that there is no transition to a different system. I'd imagine that for a transitional period, people like your sister might be able to go on Medicaid even while working. Of course, your sister already has the option of quitting her job and going on Medicaid regardless of what happens with the ACA; with a supportive family like you, that can be a reasonable choice.

I hate replying to an AC, but can you show me some Jewish incitement?

http://www.alternet.org/story/...

As soon as it was published late last year,Torat Ha'Melech sparked a national uproar. The controversy began when an Israeli tabloid panned the book's contents as "230 pages on the laws concerning the killing of non-Jews, a kind of guidebook for anyone who ponders the question of if and when it is permissible to take the life of a non-Jew." According to the book's author, Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, "Non-Jews are "uncompassionate by nature" and should be killed in order to "curb their evil inclinations." "If we kill a gentile who has has violated one of the seven commandments⦠there is nothing wrong with the murder," Shapira insisted. Citing Jewish law as his source (or at least a very selective interpretation of it) he declared: "There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults."

One of Shapira's followers, an American immigrant named Jack Teitel, has confessed to murdering two innocent Palestinians and attempting to the kill the liberal Israeli historian Ze'ev Sternhell with a mail bomb. Teitel is suspected of many more murders, including an attack on a Tel Aviv gay community center.

Despite its apparent role as a terror training institute, Od Yosef Chai has raked in nearly fifty thousand dollars from the Israeli Ministry of Social Affairs since 2007, while the Ministry of Education has pumped over 250 thousand dollars into the yeshiva's coffers between 2006 and 2007.

Though he does not name "the enemy" in the pages of his book, Shapira's longstanding connection to terrorist attacks against Palestinian civilians exposes the true identity of his targets. In 2006, Shapira was briefly held by Israeli police for urging his supporters to murder all Palestinians over the age of 13. Two years later, according to the Israeli daily Haaretz, he signed a rabbinical letter in support of Israeli Jews who had brutally assaulted two Arab youths on the country's Holocaust Remembrance Day. That same year, Shapira was arrested under suspicion that he helped orchestrate a rocket attack against a Palestinian village near Nablus. Though he was released, Shapira's name arose in connection with another act of terror, when in January, the Israeli police raided his settlement seeking the vandals who set fire to a nearby mosque. After arresting ten settlers, the Shabak held five of Shapira's confederates under suspicion of arson.

  while Lior served as the IDF's top rabbi, he instructed soldiers: "There is no such thing as civilians in wartime⦠A thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew's fingernail!" Indeed, there are only a few non-Jews whose lives Lior would demand to be spared. They are captured Palestinian militants who, as he once suggested, could be used as subjects for live human medical experiments.

Otherwise, Lior appears content to watch Palestinians perish as they did at the muzzle of Dr. Baruch Goldstein's machine gun in 1994. Goldstein, who massacred 29 Palestinians and wounded 150 in a shooting spree while they prayed in Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs mosque, was a compatriot and neighbor of Lior in the settlement of Kiryat Arba. At Goldstein's funeral, Lior celebrated the massacre as an act carried out "to sanctify the holy name of God." He then extolled Goldstein as "a righteous man." Thanks to Lior's efforts, a shrine to Goldstein was constructed in center of Kiryat Arba so that locals could celebrate the killer's deeds and pass his legacy down to future generations.

Maybe stop because of the slavery: http://www.alternet.org/labor/...

That's not a problem with Tuna. It's a problem with protection of humans (and the lack thereof) by other humans.

A few years later, there was even a bill to establish a 30-hour workweek that made it through Congress: http://www.alternet.org/labor/...

For the last century America has engaged in realpolitik, propping up and supporting reprehensible regimes and tyrants like in Turkey. It always backfires. Today Hillary seeks Kissinger's endorsement as a super-statesman but the long term damage he did to America's reputation and the millions killed as a result are a stain on America's reputation. http://www.alternet.org/world/... https://theintercept.com/2016/...

Please America, end the realpolitik. Spread American values. Americans are not the only people in the world who deserve rights.

Homeless shelters have been in the news lately because they are far from safe. Kids are developing anemia because they are so drained by bedbugs. And it's not just kids either. There are also numerous other complications.

And shelters are dangerous.

Once someone gets that low, how does anyone expect them to get back on their feet? Far better to prevent it in the first place. The people who rant on about how it's somehow wrong better hope that karma doesn't bite their ignorant asses.

America would like to see Turkey become more democratic, secular, and bound to European institutions, including NATO, and eventually the EU. We would like Turkey to be tolerant of the Turkish Kurds in the south east, and support the Iraqi and Syrian Kurds in the fight against ISIS.

Depends which America you're talking about. Joe Sixpack doesn't care. Those that read and think would like that, but sociopaths like Kissinger who Clinton creams over has made clear he doesn't care how many people die for no coherent policy objective: http://www.alternet.org/world/...

The man is a moron. Clinton creams over him, but the guy is just some big fat twat who should have been charged with war crimes, who instead is fap material to the Washington elite. Which explains a lot about Washington.
