The BBC USED to be government controlled, now it is a private corporation that is government funded. However the purpose and "company culture" that prevaded the BBC USED to be about public service, while in the west it was about propaganda and advertising, which is why the BBC was funded by taxes in the first place. However over the years things have changed, while the BBC is certainly better than the american media, has deviated from its traditional values considerably.
While people in the west were crediting facebook and twitter for organizing the arab spring, the leaders in the middle east understood that it was al jazeera that actually was responsible for forming perceptions, in some ways it exerts more influence in the middle east than any other regime in the world. I suggest that interested individuals read "propaganda" by Edward Burnayes, whom was the nephew of Sigmud Freud but far more influential, by being responsible for corporate perception management in the USA. Of course the internet has thrown the media a curve ball, but they still hold asymmetrical power and influence, which is why governments want to filter out the internet.
I recently found this to be good source of main world information, especially if you read it 2-3 days delayed. Clean short description of what is happening in the world. Without ads.
This is an example of what post journalism should look like, more like citation based research conducted by qualified agents using the scientific method, analyzed and automated using Natural language processing and statistics including "reporters" as datasets. Once people can have a reasonable objective certainty of what is true and false, it will get alot easier to separate the wheat from the chaff in politics. However none of this will ever occur if we don't fight for the net neutrality and freedom of information, information asymmetry will be used to manipulate people and consensus for ulterior motives.
He may have received more awards, but smedley got to his position from enlisted, before he became an officer. He arguably had bigger cajones than chesty puller ever had, though the wars chesty were larger battles for the USA
Basically the bully that got to boss around and fuck over all the nerds, but doesn't actually possess much along the lines of ability, at least i had some respect for bill gates and his skills.
Its hard to take you seriously when you say that hated the entire united states, when his criticisms were directly targeted at a select few of them, the ones that many of us have disdain for today.
I think they have a saying "familiarity breeds contempt", its easy to become contemptuous of a corrupt and morally bankrupt system.
The majority of koreans and vietnamese wanted communism, we had to kill large amounts of them to change their minds, or change the voting demographic as it were. http://www.cleveland.com/world/index.ssf/2010/07/south_korea_shuts_down_korean-.html
You do what you do because your a bloody fool, which explains why you dont understand the cold war. which was one instigated by the USA, because the communist ideology was dangerous to corporate america, not that the communists were a danger to civilization. How is us treating the middle east or soviet union as "savages", any different than how we treated the native americans for being "savages", especially when our policies keep them undeveloped and savage? If you REALLY cared about your baby girls, or perhaps the baby girls of the rest of the world, you would start supporting international welfare instead of warfare. Muslims just like christians become much more tolerable, when they are educated and dont have to resort to savagery to survive.
Sure they were complicit through their consent, but their consent was engineered by the ruling class, the same ones who were killing and plundering previously. There were thinkers back from the founding fathers era, who realized that we had virgin land and it was a goose to lay golden eggs, and we could use it to cast the world in our image. They got their playbook from the last great christian empire (the roman empire), including the currency domination, plunder economy, propaganda, and lastly "bread and circuses".
The point is that cheap submarines are a threat to world peace, as they could be loaded with explosives and lobbed at large cargo ships. There aren't enough US ships to protect all the cargo ships, and its part of the reason why iran's control of the strait of hormuz is so important, even without the fancy battleships.
If it was a peacenik's holiday, memorial day would recognize EVERYONE who died in war, not just the fools that rushed into it.
And it doesn't take much intellectual courage to toe the party line, in otherwords to continue to blindly support a flawed ideology, because you don't want to face cognitive dissonance.
if you want real courage, try looking at someone like Ghandi, Dalai Lama, Oskar Schindler, not a bunch of masochistic egomaniacs.
You could argue that the situation in north korea as it is now, is only because it has to participate in asymmetrical warfare, including a cultural warfare as well. It takes idiotic cult personalities to lead people who are otherwise ignorant, especially when the powerful and thus educated people don't give a damn about you and want to keep you dumb and powerless. Thus the koreans generally did want to have a communist government, but the USA supported the japanese and their pawns, in order to put their own people in charge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War#Korea_divided_.281945.E2.80.931949.29
China had its communist revolution, due in part because it was getting shafted by the colonial powers, in what was known as the "unequal treaties". Similarly the colonial powers were in control of the middle east, and have exerted control over the middle east for a long time, part of which is why israel exists to begin with. We created the environment for backwards uneducated militants to exist, by depriving the populace of a government that benefits them, and empowering ruthless dictators to rule. Just because our oil comes from SA, doesn't mean that ME isn't influential to the commodities market, and ignores that we originally controlled the ME oil production. We also did the same sort of colonialism in south america, ala banana republics, panama, contra's, cuba, etc, and its real easy for us to be creative and industrious, while slave labor was producing our food for us at home and abroad. The borders that were made in the middle east and Africa, were specifically designed to pit ethnic groups against each other, and just make up fake ethnicity in the case of tutsi's and hutu's
Because much of the flow of commerce and supply is done through the water, where submarines can effectively dominate with some ease. This is why one of the first places japan invaded during WW2 was malaysia, because the strait of malacca carried the bulk of the shipments coming across the pacific, otherwise you had to go around Australia, or risk running aground somewhere.
I'm pretty sure that your "100 year plan" is propaganda, as there would be no reason to use so much english in it.
Furthermore the Muslims in those times were far more advanced and humane than the Christians of the same period, that included they way they conducted themselves in warfare.
So tell me what about the Korean war or Vietnam had anything to do with protecting our country?
They were about protecting our allies. I certainly don't think they were a great idea but I can separate those who fought and died from the politicians who sent them into battle.
It had nothing to do with protecting our allies, it had to do with protecting our business interest, which communism was an ideological threat to. The citizens of Vietnam and Korea wanted communism, and just like many other countries we took it away from them, so that we could continue to reap the rewards of our influence.
Furthermore what about the countless other lives that we have ended, and the countless populations that we have stolen from, in order to live in the extravagance that we enjoy today?
Once again you're equating the policies and practices of the government with the sacrifices made by those who serve in the military. They are not one and the same.
Brainwashed!
What I'm pointing out is the brainwashing that occurs through the policies and practices of the government, that cause people to sacrifice their lives in order to spread suffering around the world,
Things are not as black & white as agreeing with you or being brainwashed. It's that type of attitude that leads to conflicts... which lead to wars.
In fact Immanuel Kant codified a logical deductive system for ethics, so things can in fact be black and white just as there is truth and not truth. Its moral relativism that allows people to perform the mental gymnastics, in order to satisfy their own cognitive needs to absolve themselves of guilt, and therefore justify committing horrible atrocities.

This shows that you haven't studied either in depth, and just came to an assumption based upon deductive reasoning.

that would assume that women are commodities to share
It has been shown that once you have a basic level of needs taken care of, the GINI wealth inequality accurately correlates with high crime.
I dont care for him either, and I'm a liberal.
