every company I know has 4-5 job openings that are unfilled.

etc etc

The question becomes, how many job postings are real? The second question becomes, of the real job postings, how many of them pay enough to live on, in the place where they are? Or when the jobs are in bumfuck, enough to somehow escape the soul-crushing reality of living there?

So just because the USSR tried to manipulate the peace movement therefore delegitimizes the entire peace movement?

No, not entire — there were sincere pacifists even during WW2 — and not automatically. We need to painfully examine, to what extent the peace movement was compromised by involvement of both USSR and domestic terrorists. You may suspect me of overestimating the enemy's impact, but you are certainly underestimating it.

You're not overestimating the enemy's impact, you're accusing your ideological opponents of being stooges. I'm certain you're not nearly as concerned by the propaganda put out by those who agree with you.

When the US was about to resume shooting in Iraq in 2003, the whole world erupted in the biggest coordinated protest in history — and not by Iraqis, but by outraged Westerners expressing their sympathy.. Where were these peace-loving legions, when Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014? What few protests there were, they were largely by Ukrainian expats with very few sympathetic locals in evidence. Why?

Because:
a) People expect a lot more of the US than Russia
b) The US sets international standards, and by invading Iraq it helps legitimize things like Ukraine
c) The US is a Western country, it makes a lot of sense for Westerners to protest it because they have a chance of influencing the politicians. What the hell does Russia care if a bunch of Americans or Canadians come out in protest? And what should Canadians and Americans even protest for, we don't have a lot of leverage.

Because Putin's propaganda machine worked — on the entire spectrum of Western politics, not just the Left as the USSR used to. Rightist Jews in the US were accusing Ukraine's new "junta" of being "nazis", while actual American Nazis called the new government "Jews". Without arguing with each other, but both helped Putin. Most likely, they didn't realize it — but there is no doubt, a there is a group of analysts at FSB attached to each Western opinion-maker. US is a pathetic noob at this.

Wake up and smell "people's power" — and the power of propagandists to manipulate it.

It didn't do squat. Yes there's a few fringe folks who are influenced, but they're pretty insubstantial.

In the EU it might be different, Greece in particular might have a legitimate problem, but in the English speaking West Russian propaganda is a joke.

I'm just raising awareness — so that the healing can begin.

And more importantly, the propaganda is intended for domestic consumption, not "the world".

Oh, how one may wish, this were true! It is not. Compare, for example, the world's reaction to US invading Iraq in 2003 — it caused, what Time magazine would later call "World's biggest coordinated protest in history" — with Russia's invasion into Ukraine and annexation of a jewel of a province after a fraudulent "referendum".

What few protests in the West this caused, they were organized (and attended) mostly by Ukrainian expats — without sympathetic locals.

Because, somehow, both Left and Right in the West were providing Russia with propaganda-cover. Some called Ukraine's new government "Nazis" while others dismissed them all as "Jews" — without arguing with each other both helped Putin.

Now, are all of these people on Kremlin's payroll? Probably, not — but they were carefully fed custom-crafted lies by the Kremlin analysts, who approach the government propaganda the way Western corporations approach advertising of goods...

Precisely!!! A Few Questions Now That We’re Scorched Earth w/ Russia: Like How do We Get to/from Space?

I read on Debbie Schlussel how she thinks the plane was probably hijacked by Muslims on board to one of the Jihadi hotspots in the world, like maybe Somalia or Pakistan.

i would be very surprised if this wasn't more work of the "religion of peace"

I read on Debbie Schlussel how she thinks the plane was probably hijacked by Muslims on board to one of the Jihadi hotspots in the world, like maybe Somalia or Pakistan.

I agree w/ her basic theory, but think that this was an inside job. The pilots probably turned off the transponders and then flew for the next several hours. They could have gone to a number of nearby Jihadi spots, not necessarily as far as the Kazakh-Turkmen border:

- Mindanao, Philippines, for Abu Sayyaf/MILF

- Any Jemiah Islamiya/Lashkar Jihad base in Indonesia, including Aceh

- Yala, Thailand, which has a Malay backed Muslim insurrection

- Arakan region of Bangladesh/Myanmar, in support of anti-Myanmar Jihadi activities in the area

The idea behind it was probably to get such a plane down and study it so that they could figure out how to hijack future such planes and use them for 9/11 style attacks, except bigger in scale. One idea might have been to smuggle the plane into the hands of Jihadis in Pakistan or elsewhere, in return for weapons or other material that could be used in any of the above regions.

Yeah, right.
Next thing you know you'll start talking like there are people outside of the US who matter..

though admittedly its not legally sanctioned in the US. It will happen wherever these people go because to them domestic abuse IS the law.

The point is that you can't pass laws that will have any affect on these people because they believe that the law internal to their culture is always more righteous than the laws of the country they are living in.

yeah, but the half that is outreach to the Muslim world just replaced the half that was outreach to the Russian world put in place by Lord Reagan.

And this isn't the first use of a tech program to try and build political bridges. Unless you think Payload Specialist Prince Sultan really deserved to there.
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/24268/sadly-obama-not-1st-to-use-nasa-for-islamo-outreach-reagan-bush-were/

I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. I'm not trying to say Reagan/Bush did it so it's still bad but OK for Obama to do it. I'm saying it's not, without question, a bad idea. We're reaching out using technology instead of war. Why is that so bad?

What was Reagan thinking with that Muslim outreach? I'm sure Payload Specialist Prince Sultan was really good at what he did. Which was nothing but help Reagan make nice-nice with the mideast.

http://www.debbieschlussel.com/24268/sadly-obama-not-1st-to-use-nasa-for-islamo-outreach-reagan-bush-were/

You meant Obama. Oh, well then no one has ever done anything like this before. EVER! Bush didn't kiss and hold hands with the Saudi leader he was just trying to get his defenses down before he groped, I mean, destroyed the Muslim bastard using his superior American military fighting skills. Heeya! Kung-fu grip power go!

Face it, every government program is also outreach. Regan knew it, H.W. knew it, W. knew it, and Obama knows it. The issue isn't in the goal it's in the implementation. I'll be with you once Mahmoud is made Payload Specialist of a shuttle mission. Until then, Reagan used NASA to pander harder than Obama has. Unless you count Obama's foreign sounding name.

You realize of course that attempting to use the space program and NASA as an outreach to the Muslim world is a policy that started with Reagan, and has continued completely unabated until now, not one sitting president has done anything differently?

Or how about when Bush put prince sultan in space?
They called him a "payload specialist" and reporters were not allowed to ask him any technical questions....

he did after all, have almost 114 hours of training... I'm sure that qualifies someone.

Or how ARABSAT - 1B got into space at all.

What you are doing, in your posts is picking on the current sitting president for doing the same thing that presidents have been using NASA to do since Reagan.
  Only got one part of your post right (the part about you being intolerant) so well done, it wasn't entirely composed of half truths.

These are hoaxes of course. But your willingness to believe them proves how far we came...

Most voters don't know what rule of law is either. Look how many of them think the Constitution is just a piece of paper, and therefore Parliament can do whatever it wants.

The Tea Partiers seem to be stirring up some interest. If they ever discover the real cause of their tax burden and the reality of effective commercial tax rates, I'm afraid their loving relationship with the GOP and it's corporate outlets will quickly deteriorate.

Agreed. It's funny how the Democrats call what conservative citizens are doing as "Astroturfing" yet 2 democrat groups (One is run by Obama) are spending a great deal of cash to influence public opinion. Hypocrisy is an amazing thing....

You should know better than to speak of REALITY in the face of liberals.
Its a big fat hairy ZERO for you.

I bet you were even thinking about mentioning the EVIL MOBS..errr..teabagge..eerr..republicans..conservatives that sabatoged a DNC office in Denver.

The judge is a moron. Her opinion reads like a post on democratic undergound and will be overturned. Gathering signal intelligence is a military operation. You don't need a warrant to listen to what the enemy is saying. The Roosevelt administration listened to every overseas phone call during WWII without any warrants. The president of ITT talked to Adolph Hitler once a week throughout the war. It was an intelligence gold mine and to claim a warrant was needed is pure madness. These arguments are all a result of BDR, Bush Derangment Syndrome. The lawyers that argued the case before this ACLU ringer are Muslims that have ties to terrorist:
