Re: Movie
Asshole, well I believe we well established that a long time ago. Uneducated, hardly. Seems the real one that is uneducated here is you. Let your education begin here.

None of these are "authoritative" sources of course but they are steps on your road to the truth. I suggest you do a little bit more research on your own now.
Living under Chinese control isn't easy but for the typical Tibetan they are a world better off than under the dalai lama. Under Chinese rule the typical Tibetan has access to modern medicine, education, and the ability to advance in society. Under the dalai lama the peasant class had none of this.

Re:ISS orbit is within our atmosphere
The simpler explanation is that 1) the guy was wrong and it was there before launch or 2) that an astronaut brought it with them when they walked out on a spacewalk
The Russians are not exactly known for cleanliness in spacecraft, either, not after Mir was eaten by space fungus.

Re:Trump was right
I'm not sure why fake news seems to be news as of late. I remember around the 04 election and shortly after there was a lot of fake news going around about Bush with some of it even making it to the mainstream media, and in fact slashdot even posted a few.
http://www.factcheck.org/2007/...
(Every now and then, somebody repeats the one about the constitution on slashdot and gets a +5 moderation.)
Also from CapitalBlue, which spread to many mainstream media sites before being quickly removed, and also unsubstantiated:
http://www.rense.com/general62...
And then there was memogate, aka rathergate, which needs no link. I remember when the paper was shown to be a forgery, and no document experts wanted to authenticate it, CBS acknowledged that it was probably fake, but continued to argue that the story was true anyways, even when it later turned out that the source of the story (who conveniently burned the "memo" after sending it) was somebody who hated Bush for a very long time. Slashdot's Kdawson made the same argument on a front page posting as well.
There were many, many others as well. If you peruse democraticunderground for posts around that time period, you'll find plenty, but very few ever made news in the mainstream media.
Fortunately, I think that the mainstream media mostly learned their lesson during that era, though I wouldn't be surprised if they forget it after a generation passes by.

Re:Almost destroyed MIR
The Russian station, MIR, was almost over-run by fungus. http://rense.com/general8/mir....
It was mutated by radiation and almost un-killable. Note that MIR was de-orbited and not all pieces burned up completely.
Yes, that's right, somewhere in the world, there might exist a colony of mutant space fungus that the Russians tried and failed to kill.
I just finished Geoffrey Landis' Mars Crossing in which the first American mission to Mars was taken out by athlete's foot. I thought it was a bit too tongue in cheek but now I'm worried.

The big banks launder money all the time and usually if caught only get sanctioned or fined an affordable (for them) amount. Nobody goes to jail.

MIT did this with video in 2002
I am pretty sure it was posted on Slashdot (can't find it), but the Boston Globe reported in 2002 that scientists at MIT could convincingly alter video to make it appear that someone said something they didn't, with only 2 minutes of footage:
http://www.rense.com/general25...
(Link to article on Boston Globe is dead.) They couldn't alter the audio convincingly, or at least didn't try. However, I also recall seeing on Slashdot (10+ years ago; also can't find it) that someone (Bell? MIT?) could take about 2,000 recorded words from an individual and create convincing audio of words and sentences not previously recorded.
Post-truth politics won't matter when someone releases convincingly altered video and audio of a public figure doing something that they never did.

Re: Completely wrong...."creme delay (sic) creame (sic)"
Cheating is pretty visible.. Indian students who feel they have a right to cheat.
"It is our democratic right!" a thin, addled-looking man named Pratap Singh once said to me as he stood, chai in hand, outside his university in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. "Cheating is our birthright."
Corruption in the university exam system is common in this part of India. The rich can bribe their way to examination success. There's even a whole subset of the youth population who are brokers between desperate students and avaricious administrators.
Then there's another class of student altogether, who are so well known locally - so renowned for their political links - invigilators dare not touch them. I've heard that these local thugs sometimes leave daggers on their desk in the exam hall. It's a sign to invigilators: "Leave me alone... or else."
Everything I wrote is borne out by a quick search. You can get a degree in India without attending class or knowing shit.
The question is, what's the solution? When pro-cheating rallies were held in Uttar Pradesh in the early 1990s, the state's chief minister gave in to demands and repealed an anti-copying act - he actually allowed students to cheat.
Institutionalized cheating
More than 3000 students of 20 law colleges in the eastern Indian state of Orissa have boycotted their final university examination and demonstrated in protest against a ban on copying.
The students turned against teachers when they were stopped from copying inside examination halls this week.
Authorities called in police for help.
"On frisking in the presence of the police, we found almost all students carrying books and photocopied notes hidden on their body," education official Radhanath Mishra, said from the state capital of Bhubaneswar.
"We asked them to hand over all the illegally smuggled study materials. But they did not listen to us."
When authorities seized the smuggled notes and books with the help of police, the students turned violent and left the examination halls in protest.
According to reports, students of almost all law colleges ready to take the same examination around the state protested in a similar way demanding they be allowed to "resort to cheating" during the examination.
Students of the University Law College of Bhubaneswar and Madhusudan Law College of Cuttack blocked the Calcutta-Madras national highway for more than three hours and burnt tyres protesting against the authority's decision to be "strict" during law exams this year.
Blocking traffic by burning tires for the "right to cheat" - only students who can't pass the exams (which is the vast majority of them) have to resort to cheating. And the "best" students are the ones most likely to have cheated or used intimidation, because it's easier to get a perfect score that way.

Re:NO MONEY
Well, that makes their reluctance to engage in sexual activity quite understandable.
Maybe we should put them on a slippery slope?
I find the idea that lack of money makes people celibate rather odd. If that were hte case, the great depression of the 1930's should have made foro birth rates near zero.
Another possibility is that many young men have checked out altogether. https://www.lifesitenews.com/n...

https://www.quora.com/Are-men-... Men giving up on women pisses women off http://rense.com/general49/fal...
You can google men giving up on women and get a hellava lot of links.
A big problem today is that normal males have been scared off from females. Sad to say, the bad ones haven't. But I watched a show recently where a group of young women were asked if being asked on a date by a man was sexual harassment. To a women, they said if you didn't want to go out with that guy, it was sexual harassment. Well now, isn't that cute?
That pretty much sums it up. Feminism has succeeded on a number of fronts, but ended up way over reaching. Normal males have been pretty well cowed. Most males would like a relationship, but when you can be committing a crime for the simple act of asking a woman out, you've lost from the start. Russian roulette. Perhaps a Pyrrhic victory?
Another woman in an NPR interview made the comment, when a friend went with her to a coffee shop in Seattle, and was reaking at the Butch women there. She told her friend Don't worry - These are just the women who have become men, because men won't. Deal with it.
Having married at a different time, to an alpha chick who has gone on to have asucessful career, the previous example of a liberated woman. we get along just fine, and as equals. But in today's atmosphere, where men are as likely as not considered public enemy number one, I can say that I would be one of the guys opting out of any relationship with women. I could spend my money on what I like, do what I want as long as I avoid women, and avoid all of the pitfalls of marriage and children and divorce and child support. It really isn't worth it.
It sounds terrible, but hey, in a country where all men are considered at best latent rapists and child molesters, who in the hell in their right mind would want to take a chance interfacing with the opposite sex?
And by the way - for people who want to claim that money = ability to engage in sex, my SO and I managed quite well when we had virtually nothing.

Re:Fools think this is horrible.

Make of it what you want. This does not mean the USofA is a fascist regime, but it is running in that direction, while yelling FREEDOM!Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by govern

Re:NUKEM!! NUKEM NOW!!
Unfortunately because there was no on-site FAC because [...]
Because whatever. War is war and shit really does happen. The primary responsibility of Forward Air Controller (FAC) is, actually, assuring friendlies aren't accidentally hit from the air. The reporters are there at their own risk. No one wanted to kill journalists, but it happens.
It is not specific to air-borne assaults — when our tanks entered Baghdad, two reporters were killed by a tank shell. No FAC involved — a camera does look like a grenade-launcher. Do not carry one on somebody else's battlefield.
tell the difference between an AK-47 and a TV camera
I'd say, the camera — a shoulder-held one — looks just like a grenade-launcher from even 50 meters. Heck, a weapon can be, and has been — both in fiction and real life — hidden inside a camera so well, you can't tell while holding the device in your hands. Our enemies do not hesitate to masquerade as reporters and use ambulances for military purposes — no amount of camera-resolution can help against that.
That screwup was then made worse by the Pentagon's default reaction to such screws which is to cover them up.
Would their non-covering it up have helped resurrect the victims? No. So, then, exactly how did the cover-up make it worse? Bad publicity? Great — should we, perhaps, blame the leaker, who made the video-recording public for that publicity?
Either way, the very fact, that we are ashamed of it having happened, that we tried to cover it up — all of that makes our society better than our enemies'. The enemies, who deliberately go after civilians and publicize their deaths as part of "glorious" struggle.

Re:Avoid France
Try Switzerland.
Do not try Switzerland. Regardless of the sincere belief held by the vast majority of its citizen, swiss neutrality is a fairy tale:
"A document released in 1995 by Britain's Public Records Office indicates that Switzerland and NATO concluded a secret deal in 1956. (...) In peacetime, Switzerland would be officially neutral, but in wartime, it would side with NATO."
If you can read French, the swiss newspaper "Le Temps" offers further insight on this topic. -

Re:Now no right to to condem the Soviets
http://www.rense.com/general20/hugestocksAL.htm
Read the article, it seems a filler as it comes to no conclusion. I copied pertinent info to me, with some notes but nothing extreme.
Out of context quotes from the article:
"Newsweek International - this threw me but it's Newsweek, International news a reputable mag.
"As far as anybody knows, no such theft ever occurred at the institute..."
"But keeping close track of pathogen cultures is next to impossible, even for the most tightly run lab."
"the Big Fear-the one driving President George W. Bush's most important decisions and dire pronouncements-is that a terrorist group like Al Qaeda will eventually get its hands on weapons of mass destruction." (was he ever right?)
"Documents recovered from Qaeda safe houses and camps in Afghanistan "show that bin Laden was pursuing a sophisticated biological weapons research program,"
-Apparently they can't even grow castor beans."According to U.S. intelligence reports, some Russian experts traveled to Kandahar for job interviews with unidentified Qaeda leaders. Intelligence officials believe the Russians turned down the chance to work for bin Laden, however, and by all accounts Al Qaeda's efforts to make or acquire bioweapons have gone nowhere."
"So how worried should we be? At their peak, the Soviets probably employed upwards of 60, 000 people on bioweapons projects, which produced a greater volume and variety of deadly agents than any other country. When Ken Alibek, a senior Soviet bioweapons official, defected in 1992, he described a staggering offensive bioweapons production"
"Not everyone agrees. It would be irresponsible for an expert like Smithson not to be concerned, but many respected specialists believe the numbers of unemployed bioweapons scientists are exaggerated. Alibek, the Soviet defector, has said that there are perhaps 100 former Soviet scientists capable of building a soup-to-nuts bioweapons factory. Western bioweapons experts put that figure higher-"the low hundreds,"
"Two years ago the DOD began helping former Soviet bioweapons labs to beef up security. The institute in Alma-Ata, which houses cultures of nonweaponized, but still dangerous, germs, now boasts a 2.5-meter concrete wall topped with barbed wire. Two guards armed with stun guns and tear gas patrol the front and rear entrances."
"U.S. officials have long worried about lax security at former Soviet bioweapons facilities. These concerns were heightened after the September 11 attacks. Select from the cities below to find out where bio-weapons agents are located in Russia:
Kirov - Plague, Anthrax
Koltsovo - Smallpox, Hemorrhagic fevers (including Ebola, Marburg, Lassa Viruses and others)
Minsk - Anthrax, Tularemia, Plague
Obninsk - Hemorrhagic fevers (including Ebola, Marburg, Lassa Viruses and others)
Omutninsk - Plague, Tularemia
Penza - Anthrax
Rostov - Anthrax, Tularemia, Plague
Samara - Anthrax, Tularemia, Plague
Saratov - Anthrax, Tularemia, Plague
Sergiyev Posad - Tularemia
Stavropol - Anthrax, Tularemia, Plague
St. Petersberg - Anthrax, Tularemia, Plague
Tbilisi - Hemorrhagic fevers (including Ebola, Marburg, Lassa Viruses and others)
Volgograd - Anthrax, Tularemia, Plague
Yekaterinburg - Tularemia, Botulism""
Replace "biological weapons" with "Nuclear weapons" and the articles on that subject read the same.
I guess the bottom line is if it's so freaking easy to acquire how come it hasn't been used yet?

Holocaust Survivor Leaving US - Sees What's Coming

"I had been stationed in Germany for two years while in the military, so I lit up, and commented about how beautiful the country was, and inquired if he was going back because he missed it.
"No," he answered me. "I'm going back because I've seen this before." He then commenced to explain that when he was a kid, he watched with his family in fear as Hitler's government committed atrocity after atrocity, and no one was willing to say anything. He said the news refused to question the government, and the ones who did were not in the newspaper business much longer. He said good neighbors, people he had known all his life, turned against his family and other Jews, grabbing on to the hate and superiority "as if they were starved for it" (his words).
He said he was too old to see it happen right in front of his eyes again, and too old to do anything about it, so he was taking his family back to Europe on Thursday where they would be safe from George W. Bush and his neocons. He seemed resolute, but troubled, nonetheless, as if being too young on one end and too old on the other to fight what he saw happening was wearing on him.
I have related this event to you in the hopes it will serve as a cautionary anecdote about the state of our Union, and to illustrate the path we Americans are being led down by a group of fanatics bent on global economic and military dominion. When a man who survived the fruits of fascism decides its time to leave THIS country because he's seeing the same patterns that led to the Holocaust and other Nazi horrors beginning to form here, it is time for us to recognize the underlying evil inherent in the actions of those who claim they work for all Americans, and for all mankind. And it is incumbent upon all Americans, Red and Blue, Republican and Democrat, to stop them."What has really changed from the Bush years of great significance in that regard?

""What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.
"This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter."Jews who moved to Israel seem to me overall to have interpreted "never again" in terms of who has the most guns. But there is another perspective on that, which is to think that "never again" should be about militaristic bureaucracy getting out of control. A culture like the USA (or Israel for that matter) can be full of guns and people who know how to use them, but still infested with militarist bureaucracy infesting every aspect of life (including via perpetual full-surveillance "schooling"). Like bureaucracy, humans have had a long association with fire, and fire is useful to warm our homes and cook our meals, but it is a terrible thing when it rages out of control.

Re:Lots of cheap carbon stuff
I believe that removing the incentive to gain wealth - or punishing it - would tend to eliminate innovation. A lot of people are willing to sacrifice a lot of things, work very hard for low pay, etc. in order to become wealthy. If you eliminate that motivation, you end up with a bunch of formal research departments who eventually focus on preserving their own existence rather than innovating. The exception is when war breaks out, then one innovates new ways to kill people, which isn't exactly what humanity needs...
