While the feces on walls thing is new, the not showering thing has been reported for several years.

Not that any of this has to do with whether Assange should be granted asylum or not (probably not, he was running from a rape investigation) or whether he should be being charged by the US as a party to Manning's "crimes" (probably not on that, no.) It suggests he's an asshole (but we already knew that about stuff that's actually important), I'm just saying that at least some of this, about the cat and the lack of personal hygene, is old news.

Also it's not even a wiki.

Hillary was endorsed by the KKK in California. One of Trump's children is Jewish, and he has Jewish advisors. Trump has reached out to the Black community and appointed non-whites to important and visible government positions. Think about that.

This type of campaign targeting speech is being applied a lot wider than just online.

FWIW "In April [2005], the Washington-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a religious watchdog group, claimed that there have been numerous incidents of religious bias and official promotion of fundamentalist Christianity at the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Col." http://www.monitor.net/monitor... "A 2010 survey found 41 percent of non-Christian cadets faced unwanted proselytizing, even as the religious majority felt that their freedom of speech was being infringed upon." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/... "I am on staff at USAFA and will talk about Jesus Christ my Lord and savior to everyone that I work with.” http://www.jta.org/2013/11/21/...

“Today is the end of oppressive sanctions. The chain of sanctions is broken,” “Honorable Iranian nationals, all sanctions, including on missiles, will be lifted on days of implementation. Not suspended, lifted. “At first they wanted us to have 100 centrifuges; now we will have 6,000. They wanted restrictions of 25 years; now it’s 8. Fordo had to be closed; now we will have 1,000 centrifuges there,” “Iran has never ever sought a nuclear bomb.”

Being a nationalist requires that you view yourself and people of your group to be superior to other groups, else there would be no point in it because the national identity being defended would cease to be meaningful.

This probably explains why you think the Ukrainian people are incapable of seeing other ex-soviet states like Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and so forth look west after the collapse of the USSR and see how much they've gained in terms of wealth and freedom then decide they want that for themselves. It explains why you view Ukrainians as some kind of inferior human that couldn't possibly want the things that most people want by themselves like increased wealth or greater freedom, without CIA interference.

I find it rather odd however that you describe yourself as an American nationalist whilst serving the propaganda goals of Russia and hence necessarily damaging American interests and ideals. You talk of the far right in Ukraine, but the people who have the most to fear from that viewpoint recognise what an absolute lie that idea is:

http://www.jta.org/2014/06/02/...

Meanwhile, we have Russia hosting the far right, and involving British neo-Nazis like Nick Griffin in his election whitewashing:

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/...

We have Putin pouring money into France's far right:

http://www.independent.co.uk/n...

And in fact, just supporting the far right right across Europe in general:

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/...

But it's not just support of course, it's the way Putin acts against minorities, using gay people as a hate target just as Hitler and King Edward I did with the Jews:

https://www.truthwinsout.org/p...

Or simply silencing anyone who hates having their territory illegally annexed resulting in concerned 3rd party nations who are typically Russian allies like India to report on the fact that Turkey is having to send in monitors to make sure it doesn't escalate further than the level of ethnic cleansing that Putin has already carried out:

http://zeenews.india.com/news/...

http://www.aljazeera.com/indep...

Of course, I don't expect any of this to matter to you. I've seen you post here before and I know you're normally incapable of consideration of alternative viewpoints, I know that you have your CIA/Koch brothers conspiracy theories and wont believe anything else. But I've made a point here, a point of linking to news sources in Europe, Russia, India, the Middle East to show you that the things I've pointed out aren't controversial, that the only people that wont accept them are Putin and his supporters. So if you do as you normally do, and refuse to believe what is evidenced in front of you, you at very least must stop pretending you're not just parroting the pro-Putin viewpoint - because as the Moscow Times articles show, even moderate Russians themselves disagree with you - this isn't about Russians vs. non-Russians, this is about Putin apologists as you have been in this conversation so far, against reality.

So you've really a choice, you can wake up and stop parroting long discredited RT propaganda word for word, or

What? Are there any sanctions? Perhaps all major newspapers wrote articles condemning Latvia's actions?

Nope. These Nazi wannabes at most get silence from the official Europe, if not outright support. And yes, they really _are_ Nazi wannabes - there are official parades of Waffen SS veterans there (not joking, http://rt.com/news/latvia-demo... ). And just recently the official Latvia blocked a genocide exhibition in UNESCO: http://www.jta.org/2015/01/21/... because it might have damaged Latvia's image (Holodomor exhibition a couple of months earlier was welcomed). Very freedom-of-speechy, I know.

So yes, I think that Europe should shut the hell up and first fix its own affairs first. There's nothing worse than outright hypocrisy.

There was nothing stored at this school.
http://time.com/3076108/gaza-i...

The only thing that link shows is that the UN chief is ignoring the facts to gain cheap headlines. Nothing there denies the facts alleged by either Israel nor the UNRWA press release I linked to.

Even if there had been, Israel could have sent in foot soldiers who could use those super weapons called eyeballs to decide who to kill and who not.

Your assertion that under battle you have better control over not killing bystanders need better basing on facts. Foot soldiers on the ground means less control over the fight, as you have to take care of defense as well as attack. This results in more, not less, civilian casualties.

The biggest number of Palestinian casualties this time around, by far, were in Shuja'iyya, where the Israeli forces were taken by surprise and had to bring in artilery support. This simply does not happen in air raids.

Instead, as Israel does not want to incur military casualties of their own which would cause political backlash in Israel itself, they shell at a distance - easy for them but incurring, overall, seven times as many dead Palestinian children as there have been Israeli military and civilian casualties combined. Dead Palestinian children being more acceptable in Israel, obviously, than dead Israeli soldiers.

The objectives of any army in conflict inside urban area has, is, and seems to always continue to be, in descending order of precendence:
1. Get the mission done
2. Minimize own casualties
3. Minimize civilian enemy casualties

The only thing in which the IDF is different is that it sometimes places "3" above "2", and even above "1" above. That anomality is only happening in the IDF. Most other moral armies use the above list as is. Israel used to abort missions if there was a high chance of civilian casualties. Hamas manuvered that into making it impossible for Israel to act at all. Such a thing, while I'm sure would be lauded by some, would be even more immoral. The result is the high number of casualties in this round of fighting.

Israel has a clear interest in minimizing the number of casualties. There is both internal and external pressure to keep civilian casualties to a minimum. Hotheads like you blame Israel for every Palestinian dead, regardless of circumstances and actions, calling for boycotts and pressuring their own governments. Israel has no interest in killing Palestinians. Your asserted indifference is simply without grounding in reality.

Hamas, on the other hand. Well, that's a different story altogether. Every Palestinian dead is a Hamas win. Internally, they call them "Shahids" and claim that they are martyrs. I'm sure many Palestinians would love to call bulshit on this rehtorics, but the simply truth is that they do not. They are probably too afraid to fall out of line or to be accused of "cooporating with Israel", an accusation carrying the death penalty.

Externally, Hamas has equally little incentive to care for their own people. When you see horrible pictures of the dead (and they are horrible), you (i.e. sociocapitalist) don't stop to ask questions. You don't wonder why they did not clear out when warned. You don't seek media sources that will report to you Hamas explicit instructions (orders) to people to "defy" the Israeli warnings. People say that Israel is strong (which is true) and Hamas is weak (which is not as true as people believe, but definitely not false), and assign zero accountability to Hamas' actions. While I'm sure you congratulate yourself on being in the moral right, it is, in fact, your indifference to the truth that allows Hama

Rather than writing a point by point rebuttal of this and wasting time, I'm just going to show you that your sources of information are far more biased than you acknowledge. You say:

I'm sure you have no knowledge of the Jewish synagogues being vandalized and Rabbis being beaten either.

The only picture of a synagogue being vandalized is this one (and its variations from different angles). And you know where that is? It's in Simferopol, the hearland of the secessionist movement in Crimea. And you know when that graffiti appeared? Why, the next day after Russian forces - excuse me, "spontaneously organized local self-defense" - showed up.

In the meantime, here is what the chief rabbi of Ukraine had to say about this...

Here is another picture you might find interesting. This is a small arms salute at the burial of one of the Maidan protesters; the non-uniformed guys in masks are the dreaded "Right Sector", ostensibly a neo-Nazi, fascist group. The guy whom they are saluting is Oleksandr Shcherbanyuk, an Ukrainian Jew who was avidly religious. He was buried with a kippah, and a rabbi was presided over the ceremony. And the "Nazis" saluted over the coffin.

Chew over that a little bit. And start looking for some better sources. By your rhetoric so far, it's clear that you're simply regurgitating Russian state propaganda wholesale, without even bothering to do any cursory verification.

Yet another case in point:

I keep hearing about how Russia invaded, and when nobody could provide a picture of a soldier they made some up. Now we are hearing that troops are massed along the border, again with no evidence. How many times will you fall for non factual statements from the same source before you stop believing them?

I don't know who that "nobody" is, because the pictures and videos number in the thousands. Here is a video from Kerch where guys in Russian uniform (sans chevron with a flag) try to weasel out from answering the question, but eventually admit that they're from Russia. There are many others like it.

Again, the fact that you're not aware of their existence shows that you didn't even bother to do a cursory search, and are just watching RT 24/7.

The majority in the Ukraine voted against joining the EU and was overthrown because of that vote

The majority in Ukraine voted from Yanukovich in 2010, yes. One of the cornerstones of the platform on which he was elected was pursuing association with EU. Heck, the guy's first foreign visit after being elected was to Brussels! The turnaround only happened in the end of 2013, and, quite understandably, a lot of the same people who voted for him back then were pissed off.

So that part about "Ukraine voted"? It's bullshit.

This is not even to mention that since he was elected, Yanukovich, among other things, pretty much unilaterally (by forcing the constitutional court, a quarter of which resigned in protest of the pressure) rescinded the new constitution of 2004, and reverted to the old one - which, coincidentally, granted him considerably more powers as the president.

I stated very clearly that the US has declined much faster than Russia has improved. You could not have missed that point, so you are selectively choosing fragments to argue with. Russia has certainly not become a democracy, but they are not the Russia we grew up fearing. Does Russia have more mob bosses running around than the US? Probably not, the difference between here and there is we keep our shit in the closet and deny it at every available opportunity. Depending on where you are in Russia

You do realize that Iran blames Israel for everything it can, from earthquakes to the Sandy Hook massacre. Really, an Iranian claim that Israel did something bears no weight.

You also fail to mention that (at least some) of the scientists were also political activists, which Iran has a history of murdering and blaming Israel.

The colonies are explicitly approved by the Israeli government. Most so-called "outposts" are promoted to full "settlement" status. There is nothing tacit about it. Their plan is to colonize and annex as much territory as possible with as few non-Jews as possible. So they can preserve their precious Jewish majority that was created by force. Jewish settlers receive assistance from the Israeli government, protection from the army, special roads that only they can drive on, and are under the Israeli legal system. The indiginous non-Jews can't drive from town to town, are under martial law, and suffer from malnutrition while their crops wither in their fields because they are unable to leave their homes to harvest them. In Gaza, Israel counts their calories and prevents the importation of food leading to stunted growth of children. Israel even prevents the export of food and goods, ensuring that the Palestinians remain under the thumb of Israel. All of this has been going on for decades prior to the establishment of Hamas.

But hey, they shoot rockets back at Israel so it's all OK, right?

Likewise, if there was a law that prohibited prayer in anyplace outside of a religious institution, I could say I was not an anti-religious zealot because I only supported the enforcement in flagrant cases, for instance, where a family was praying in public in a distracting manner, or where someone was having a party and playing Fireflight too loud. Then we could bring them to court and prosecute them for playing. You see, I don't hate the people who choose to worship false idols and fails to follow the bible(Matthew 6:5), I simply want an ordered society where we follow the rule of law. That I get to harass people who annoy me, even when they are in the privacy of their own home, is just frosting on the cake.

Just because one hates a little less than one peers does not give the person a right to deny their bigotry. Is a person who only burns down empty churches and synagogues any less of a bigot than someone who shoot the members? I would think not. Just because one is a little less hateful and therefore is ridiculed by one's peers, does that give free reign to other denegate the annoying people? I don't think so.

I believe that Card thinks he is not a homophobe just like rush thinks he did nothing wrong on his little trip to the DR or Santorum thinks that he believes he has respect for the ability of woman to think for herself. And all these people are probably a little less crazy than some of the other people in their peer group, and for that we can be thankful. That there are some insane people who are not so insane as to actually want to do harm to the people they hate, unless, or course, they don't know their place. People who are just keeping the lesser folks in their place and enforcing the norms of society, then, are to thanks, not called out for who they are.

Which is to say that I know where Card is coming from, and by the measure of the religious right that wishes to convert anyone they do not agree with I am sure he is a flaming liberal that love to bend over for Obama, but in the world where love and tolerance and acceptance prevail, only a homophobe could write something like that. The rest of us believe that we adults should be able to have consensual sex in our homes and show affection for who we please outdoors. After all, I don't see police harassing straight couples leaving the theatre.

In Israel it is now illegal to commerate the Nakba...that is the day when Palestenians remember the villlages destoryed, etc.

http://www.jta.org/news/article/2011/03/23/3086536/knesset-passes-nakba-law

That is a misleading characterization of both the article and the law. It is illegal to commemorate the Nakba using state funds. Read the article again. It says so explicitly (though not prominently).

It is also illegal to support the worldwide BDS movement that attempts to call attention to Israels occupation.

No, it isn't. Some random member of Knesset (not the brightest of that bunch, at that) proposed a law. The anti-Nakba law started off the same way, as broad prohibition. I realize that in the US that is, sometimes, all it takes. In Israel there is public scrutiny and refinement stages that actually change the way the law looks (most times, for the better), and I promise you that if and when this proposal turns into law, it will be much much much saner. Until then, calling this anything binding is deliberately misleading.

Hamas doesn't want peace with Israel in the long term:
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp

The only peace they want is one where Israel is wiped out.

Fatah's old charter also stated similar stuff: http://www.alzaytouna.net/arabic/?c=1598&a=97061

Article (8) The Israeli existence in Palestine is a Zionist invasion with a colonial expansive base, and it is a natural ally to colonialism and international imperialism.
Article (12) Complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.
Article (19) Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the Palestinian Arab People's armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.

Apparently their new one no longer calls for Israel's destruction. http://jta.org/news/article/2010/01/27/1010372/new-fatah-charter-omits-negationist-language

Elliot Doxer, 42, who works in the finance department of Akamai Technologies Inc., was charged Wednesday with wire fraud for providing confidential business information to an undercover FBI agent that he believed was a foreign government agent. The information included contract details, employee information and customer lists. The country was identified in the indictment as Country X. "I am a Jewish American who lives in Boston," Doxer reportedly wrote in an e-mail to a foreign country's consulate in Boston. "I know you are always looking for information and I am offering the little I may have."

You should look into it. Particularly, Vladimir announced that for the largely 70-year reign of the Soviet
Union was the oppression of native Russians at the hands of a predominantly large Jewish nation that used
Communism as it's weapon. I don't think the book was written by Vladimir, but he did cite much of it as
necessary because the former-Free countries all are jumping on the Hollocaust "wagon" to fine anyone that
says anything bad about Jews. One aspect that Vladimir pushed was the fact that all Communism was created
by Jews: Lenin, Trotsky, even Stalin were all practicing jews that pushed Communism onto Russia. Despite
what anyone says about Hitler being 1/4 jewish with two secret-wives under his belt, Joseph Stalin was 1/2 jewish with three wives and it was Stalin that murdered over 60 million peaceful non-communist Russians just
for their mere heritage and political standing. Similar relations proved that a non-Jewish Mao Tse Dung hailed
the Communist republic onto China by killing over 70 million non-communist Chinese just for the same heritage and political reasons as did Stalin. Of'course it is often written that Mao Tse Dung wansn't particularly Jewish,
but Mao did attent the same school as the founders of the Skull And Bones Society over in America. Adolf Hitler
at-least had no relations, and it is only DEBATABLE whether or not he tried to give a year warning to jews to leave Germany through The Madagascar Plan or back onto Canaan, but one fact is certain and that is that two neighboring countries were trolled by these two men in a pretended dispute of political ideaology. Hitler got over 40 million Germans to die in combat rather than culled; led by over 50,000 practicing jewish Commanding-officers installed by Hitler's pre-dominantly jewish Catholic cabinet (with exception to Herman Goering, a protestant that was excommunicated by the pre-dominantly Catholic jewish cabinet).

As you can see, Jews are everywhere, and Vladimir Putin of Russia is proving himself to be a great leader
in enduring the possible political foulness as by many earlier American patriots that spoke against International-jews and Illuminati Freemasons.

You are of course entitled to your opinions - yet I may want to bring this little piece from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) to your attention. They hardly qualify as a hot bed of fringe left anti-semites or crazed Muslim terrorist sympathizers.

If the JTA account is correct Khalidi has a good case to sue the McCain campaign for defamation.

Perhaps you and I disagree on the definition of the word "terrorist".

Israel's policy of supporting religious settlers in Palestinian territory could be construed as extremist. = Building houses (even if it is on land that another ethnic group with more than dubious legal clame purports to own) is terrorism? As in a violent act against innocent civilians? (If this is what you meant, and I can hardly see how you could have meant otherwise, I find it disgusting that you would compare that to attacks that maim and kill both Arab and Israeli citizens.)

Israel's policy against Palestine? What, per your definition, is Palestine? Because last time I checked a map of the world, there was no such thing.

Hostile acts on foreign soil is terrorism? I consider it war. Terrorism, again, per my definition, targets civillians, whereas the strike in Lebanon was on self-proclaimed militant soldiers of radical Islam. These men (i.e. the men that were killed in the terrorist training camps) would be offended if you were to indicate that they were anything other than soldiers.

I do not agree with everything Israel does. But I'm not sure what I would do differently if I were in control. At Oslo, Israel tried to give Arafat everything that he had asked for, and Arafat walked out. Land for peace will not work - it is a tangible for an intangible. Once the Palestinians have Israeli land, Israel cannot take it back. Palestinians, on the other hand, can easily take back pledges of peace, and once the damage is done it's done.

And yes, I support a two-state solution.

I'm off to rest up for my SATs tomorrow. Wish me luck, and may the gods of moderation mod us down for our blatant OTness.

Read all about it. Just one more example of what we've known for years.
