You are confusing the ability of an ignorant person to shoot its own foot off, despite being told not to do it, by well informed people, cause it will hurt - with irrelevance of the facts.
Facts matter. Cause facts are reality. And reality is a vengeful bitch even when you're paying attention to her every whim. You may not have noticed it yet cause it's only starting to rain, and you haven't been paying attention, but that what's coming along down the road is a 4-year-long shitstorm. And the shit that will rain will stink for a long time.
It's what happens when people willfully ignore facts. They can consider themselves lucky if they only end up losing that one foot. But the market for cheap battery powered wheelchairs will be YUUUUGEEE!!! Meaning they will be made in China.
Which IS something Rosling didn't take into account. That while China and India will rise, USA will sabotage itself. Sad.
For one... There is no such thing as "Trump administration" yet. And clearly, there won't be one for quite some time. Which is what happens when you hire a lazy, lying, incompetent bum prone to litigation to work for you.
And no one said it was "the administration" that's being a "liar and a sociopath" - it's Trump and the people he is picking who are liars, sociopaths and idiots. Here, again, for those with reading issues.
They are lying cause their boss, who has handpicked them, is a liar and a sociopath. A liar and a sociopath who has handpicked people who don't mind being told lies nor do they mind telling lies to reach their goal. They are lying cause they are liars and sociopaths. Also... idiots who don't mind being lied to.
Also, tu quoque is a fallacy - not an argument. Particularly when you reply to a "He's a lying sociopath and so are the people he's picking" carpet bombing with a fizzling firecracker like "Well... like the previous administration NEVER lied". Not only are you neck deep in the fallacy septic tank, you're diving deeper by emphasizing your own attempt at false equivalence.
Which is pathetic, I know, but what CAN you do? You can't just pick ANY random statement by ANY previous president and say "See? That's a lie." - at least 50% of those won't be lies. Unlike with Trump, with whom telling truth happens to be more of a statistical error than accident.
And legalised drugs, sorting people into social classes based on intelligence, procreation entirely through industrial processes, and a purely centrally planned and managed economy.
True that, but I was making a reply more regarding the political implications of the comparison to that work of fiction than the exact accuracy compared to it.
Downmodding as a way of rejecting reality. Fortunately, I have plenty of copy/paste left. Ergo...
It's much simpler than that.
They are lying cause their boss, who has handpicked them, is a liar and a sociopath. A liar and a sociopath who has handpicked people who don't mind being told lies nor do they mind telling lies to reach their goal. They are lying cause they are liars and sociopaths. Also... idiots who don't mind being lied to.

Also... idiots who don't mind being lied to.
Oh look! More people thinking they can beat copy/paste with downmodding. Thus it bares repeating...
Get over it bro! Trump won! Enjoy! ... Having fun yet? No? Ah well... you must be just another sore winner. Don't worry. I'm sure there'll be a new rally soon. Gotta keep the moral up for the baby in chief. Precious little snowflake that he is. Demoralized and frustrated by nasty media. Boo-hoo.

A rain shadow desert. Any "countries where that rain would otherwise have landed" already got most of the moisture out of the air, which is why that place is a desert.
Cloud seeding is part of Chinese plan to build a Green Great Wall to stop the spread of the desert and the sandstorms. Which seems to be doing something, at least in the sense that it is apparently lowering the water table in the areas where trees are planted.
Or that is at least what the opposition to the forestation program claims, suggesting instead simply fencing off the area and "nurturing the land by the land itself". How would that create trees in areas which were "treeless in the last several thousand years", or how would temporary fencing off prevent sandstorms (even should grassland work that way) once the fences are removed and the grasslands are once again used for cattle grazing... the article doesn't mention that. Then again, water levels have been dropping long before forestation project started. And trees are supposed to keep the water in the ground...
On the other hand, Epoch Times is more than a little a Falun Gong paper. I.e. Whatever Chinese government does is wrong. While whatever Falun Gong does might get them arrested and "reeducated" by the government. Or harvested.
In any case, weather modification is being done in order to provide water for the Green Wall in the area which got desertified as the water from Shiyang River was used for irrigation upstream decades ago.
Some people simply can't take the demoralizing facts and they feel the need to downmoderate such facts. Sad.
Fortunately, though moderation points can run out, no one has yet run out of copy/paste!
So let us be reminded that we need to stop the demowawizin! It makes the Pwetious Swowflake in Thief fwustwated. He DID have the biggest and bewutifuwest inaguwation! He DID! HE DIIIIIIDDD!!! Stop demowawazing the Pwedident! It'll huwt his pwetious thiewings!

French project actually works and it doesn't try to heat the snow away or light up that deer while it's crossing the road.
French have just made a highly durable and highly expensive type of solar panels. And they've covered a kilometer of road with those panels, for test purposes. Solar FREAKING Highways crowd haven't made shit but a small section of sidewalk. Consisting of 30 panels. And they missed their deadline on that cause their panel manufacturing process burned out their panels.
Both projects ARE going the wrong way about generating electricity from solar power. But French might actually get there some day.

Which is where that Craig Murray story started in that form - where it's a talk about him being center stage, claiming everyone else is wrong. Back then they still had to cherry pick the actual Guardian article where Murray's stance was mentioned as an "opposing view" to the title and the core of the article. CIA concludes Russia interfered to help Trump win election, say reports
Isn't it great that now tabloids are giving time directly to Murray, so you can quote a rag without linking to the article where he comes off as profanity slinging loon? Or better yet! His blog. Where he rants about the conspiracy to remove that Guardian article (while begging people to buy his book) from the Guardian's front page.
While the article was not taken down, the home page links to it vanished and it was replaced by a ludicrous one repeating the mad CIA allegations against Russia and now claiming â" incredibly â" that the CIA believe the FBI is deliberately blocking the information on Russian collusion.
Apparently, Murray doesn't understand the concept of a dynamic web page. But he sure as hell leans towards conspiracy theorist way of thinking, doesn't he? Can't find that link... must be a conspiracy to hide it from you. Just like when you spam people with your conspiracy theories and no one rushes to your blog - it must be Facebook conspiring against you. Good thing that "calling out Facebook" still works. Or as some might call it - asking his followers to spam his link around. All 650 of them, which by his math means his blog should get 200k+ hits. But he'll clearly settle for a dozen or so.
And while we're talking about his blog... do notice how his claims change over time. First he, in his own words, "met the person who leaked them" while talking to the Guardian and quoting himself from the same "hidden" article. By the time he talks to Daily Mail - it's "leakers" and "sources" and "identities" (Oh my!). And he's gone from "I've met the person who leaked them" to this:
Murray said he retrieved the package from a source during a clandestine meeting in a wooded area near American University, in northwest D.C. He said the individual he met with was not the original person who obtained the information, but an intermediary.
Apparently, now he DIDN'T actually meet the person who leaked them. Or was that persons? It's kinda hard to keep up with all the... how does Murray put it? Ah yes... Utter bullshit.
BUT WAIT! THAT'S NOT ALL!
As a good pal and collaborator of Julian Assange he's coming to Assange's defense once again. Cause if what CIA claims is true - Assange is nothing but a "useful idiot" to Putin. Which makes Murray into a... what exactly?
Funny thing is... Last time he came to Assange's defense like that he publicly outed one of the women who were accusing Assange of sexual assault. This time he does no such thing while admonishing "truly execrable" journalists for treating "the US government, for goodness sake" (actual quote) as a credible source. While HE and Assange ARE credible because "I have a reputation for inconvenient truth telling" (another actual quote).
Yeah, unfortunately it looks kind of like Obama's cabinet.
Sure it does, comrade.
Because a "foreclosure king" is the same as a guy who worked at various Treasury positions in two administrations, ran IMF and New York Fed. Among other things. Or that other guy who also worked for two administrations, held positions of Deputy Secretary of State, budget director and FUCKING Chief of Staff.
Oh yeah... completely the same as the guy who got some palls together to buy up banks during the financial crisis so they could make a killing later on. And a huge part of it through aggressive foreclosures on people's mortgages. What a coincidence that he'd be picked to be a Secretary of the Treasury by a slumlord.
Put another way, he's just handing them the keys to the kingdom for free instead of getting money for it.
Nah... Not that kinda presidency. It's not a kingdom to be ruled - it's a kingdom to be plundered.
Trump's a guy who sees nothing wrong in making money from being a president. He thinks a country is a company you take over in order to make profit out of it. So, he's hiring people who think the same - cause you need to delegate when you're running a company. You can't do the takeover and plunder all on your own.
He could just want the same things they want -- big business running the show -- and is appointing them simply because he thinks they're the best people for the jobs given that goal.
That pretty much means he IS beholden to them. Them (and his other appointees and presidential palls) being representatives of big business you are talking about. Arguing that it's actually about common ideology (best for the goal) doesn't work in this case. Cause the only ideology these guys have and understand is hoarding money. And that's not an ideology - that's just greed.
It's not about "running the show". It's about profiting from the presidency. He doesn't need people for the job - he needs allies to help him plunder the company he took over.
Bill Clinton's staff removed all the Ws from keyboards before leaving. Obama's staff should count the silverware.
He may be appointing them, but there's nothing showing he's beholden to them.
The fact that he's appointing them for the Secretary of the Treasury, Director of the United States National Economic Council, members of the Presidential Transition Team Executive Committee and having his campaign's chief executive officer from that same shop - kinda proves it all on its own. If it walks like a puppet, gesticulates like a puppet, talks like a puppet...
Or you could just look at your own words. The "he's appointing them" part. Unless you're coming from a world where it is a custom to fill your team with your "enemies"? You know... After months of histrionic public resentment towards them - Br'er Rabbit style.
Face it buster, USA (followed with the rest of the world) is about to be scammed and skinned for all it's worth. Trump-a-dump-dump... straight into the swamp.
