Genocidal Apartheid Israel’s Zio-Nazi Mossad Now Recruits Agents Online - ‘Join the invisible to make the impossible ...create history'
RT: Zio-Nazi Israeli intelligence has given up to modern trends and introduced an online questionnaire for would-be spies. Unlike the business like CIA or MI5 web draft campaigns, Israelis are luring volunteers with mystery halo always shrouding Mossad’s activities.
Mossad has become one of the last intelligence agencies in the world that vouchsafed to recruiting volunteer spies online, facilitating the induction process for those who always wanted to be a secret agent, but considered it unattainable.
The agency’s online recruiting website, available in Arabic, English, French, Hebrew, Persian and Russian, looks like a creatively designed product, wrapping spy activities in bright and attractive packaging. The intelligence outlet calls on to potential candidates to “create history,” make their life and “join the invisible to make the impossible.”
The internet resource contains general information about Mossad, its history, directors and an initial online job application. In case a candidate is invited for an interview, there are three more detailed forms to be completed by hand: a medical confidentiality/information authorization, security questionnaire and another security questionnaire for a spouse/partner.

Cronyism, Lies And Censorship: What Gender Ideologues Bring To Gaming
Note: Part 1 can be found here.
By Vincent James: Last month, a corruption scandal in the video games industry began to
unfold, addressing suspected collusion between feminist game developers
and the journalists who reviewed their work. At gaming news websites
such as Kotaku, Gamasutra, and Polygon, it was claimed that feminist
writers gave these developers positive coverage because of close
personal, including sexual, relationships.Evidence arose that three journalists on these websites were giving money to Zoe Quinn, a feminist game developer who was involved in the scandal, and that this same developer was channeling donations for a game event she was organizing into her personal PayPal account. In the face of increasing public awareness of the scandal, several prominent web forums resorted to unprecedented levels of censorship, and thus gave more credence to the allegations of collusion in the industry. AVfM has detailed these incidents, which marked the start of the scandal, in the first article of this series.
Since then, over the last several weeks, the story has broken into the mainstream media and has kept growing with new revelations; the scandal, now known as GamerGate, has been the subject of more than 1 million tweets and has been covered by more than 40 news websites.
Cultural Misandry: 'We’ll Become ISIS' - The Devaluation Of Young Men
By James Howard Kunstler: I played fiddle at a small-town, country dance last night with several other musicians and it was a merry enough time because that kind of self-made music has the power to fortify spirits. About half the dancers were over 40 and the rest were teenage girls. The absence of young men was conspicuous. Toward the end of the evening, it was just girls dancing with girls. A wonderful and fundamental tension was not present in the room.
The young men are out there somewhere in the country towns, but this society increasingly has no use or no place for them, except in the army. There is absolutely no public conversation about the near total devaluation of young men in the economic and social life of the USA, though there is near-hysterical triumphalism about the success of young women in every realm from sports to politics to business, and to go with that an equal amount of valorization for people who develop an ambiguous sexual identity.
There really is no local forum for public discussion in the flyover regions of the USA. The few remaining local newspapers are parodies of what newspapers once were, and the schools maintain a fog of sanctimony that penalizes thinking outside the bright-side box. Television and its step-child, the internet, offer only the worst temptations of hyper-sexual stimulation, artificial violence, and grandiose wealth-and-power fantasies. There aren’t even any taverns where people can gather for casual talk.

Three More Zio-Nazis Kill Themselves After Shame Of Gaza Genocide
Three Israeli green shirts who had taken part in Tel Aviv’s recent genocide on the Gaza Strip have taken their own lives due to psychological problems, a report says.
Zionist Shill UK Regulator BANNED Press TV: Israeli daily Maariv reported Monday that the killers, who were members of the bloodthirsty Golani Brigade, “had suffered psychological problems" in connection to their participation in the 50-day genocide.It added that two soldiers had committed suicide near the border with the Gaza Strip, while a third killed himself in central Israel.
The newspaper added that the Israeli military police are investigating reasons behind the suicides.
The Israeli army has not made any comment about the incident.
In 2013, eight Israeli soldiers had killed themselves, according to a source in the army's psychological health department.
Apartheid Israel unleashed attacks on Gaza in early July and later expanded its military genocidal campaign with a ground invasion into the Palestinian territory. Over 2,130 Palestinians lost their lives and some 11,000 were maimed.

Palace Revolt in Eurozone’s Largest Bank
By Don Quijones: Don Emilio BotÃn, for decades the undisputed Capo of Spanish banksters,
is dead. By contrast, the bank he leaves behind him, Grupo Santander,
is both alive and kicking – at least to all outward appearances. It is
now the largest bank by market capitalization in the Eurozone as well as
one of the thirteen leading banks in the world – no mean feat given
that when BotÃn III took the reins of the family business from his
father, Santander was merely a midsized domestic bank with just a tiny
smattering of overseas operations.
Now its operations quite literally span the Western hemisphere, with the mother country accounting for just 7% of the group’s profits. Brazil’s stuttering economy is its biggest source of lucre, last year bringing in roughly 23% of the Group’s total profits, with the U.S. and Mexico accounting for 10% each. In Europe, its biggest market is the UK (17% of profits), though the bank has interests throughout the continent, most notably in Germany (6%) and Poland (6%).
However, it is the New World, not the Old World, on which Santander now has its sights firmly set. Last year, Latin American markets represented 51% of the group’s total operating revenues. Despite its recent slowdown, the region remains Santander’s main strategic target for business growth. According to the Group’s own website, it has carved out leadership positions in the continent’s “most dynamic and solid economies” – economies such as Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Puerto Rico and that hyper-dynamic, super-stable economy called Argentina.

Debt Mountain To Crush Major Economies In ‘Minsky Moment’ Warns Saxo Bank
ArabianMoney: The world’s three economic superpowers are heading for a major
collapse in asset values because their economic models favor consumption
instead of productivity, warns Steen Jakobsen, a chief economist at
Danish investment bank Saxo Bank.
‘We’re still not wise enough to realize that our current model is a ‘Ponzi’ scheme rushing toward its inevitable ‘Minsky moment’, he said in a research note. The term ‘Minsky moment’ refers to a phrase coined for the Asian debt crisis of the late 1990s by Pimco’s Paul McCulley.
Debt mountain
Unsustainable debt will be the cause of the crash, according to Mr. Jakobsen, and will occur when the cash returns on assets become insufficient to service the debt taken on to acquire those assets in the first place. He gives no timeframe for his thesis but says that the problem of huge debts has been swept under the carpet by central bankers and policymakers and will come back as low inflation or even deflation…

Will US Senators Rand Paul and Elizabeth Warren Unite to Finally “Audit the Fed”?
By Michael Krieger: I finally had a chance to listen to the hour long interview of former bank examiner and whistleblower, Carmen Segarra, with “This American Life.” In the event you haven’t taken the time to listen for yourself, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is that you do.
Whether you listen to it yourself or not, I think it’s worthwhile to share what I believe are the most important takeaways from the “Goldman Tapes,” since you cannot solve a problem unless you understand it clearly at its core. First, a little background. Carmen Segarra is the woman who worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as a bank examiner. She was assigned specifically to Goldman Sachs, and was ultimately fired for asking too many questions.
Adrian Peterson Proves Black America Is Violent - And Baby Mamas Are To Blame
“In
such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit
thereof is uncertain, and consequently, not culture of the earth, no
navigation, nor the use of commodities that may be imported by sea, no
commodious building, no instruments of moving and removing such things
as require much force, no knowledge of the face of the earth, no account
of time, no arts, no letters, no society, and which is worst of all,
continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man,
solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”
—Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan
By Mumia Ali: The proverbial ink was barely dry on my column discussing the travails of Ray Rice when another NFL star, this time Adrian Peterson, was taken out to the metaphorical woodshed for his literally doing the same to his four-year old son; as a result, he was temporarily benched by the Minnesota Vikings franchise (which has since been lifted/UPDATE: it appears that I might have spoken a bit too soon). Of course, the Cathedral will attempt to spin this as yet another example of the NFL’s (Black) male personnel running amok, gratuitously violent, out of control, and in need of being put in a veritable Phantom Zone for somatic reconditioning. No doubt, Peterson’s and Rice’s actions are troubling; but they only foreshadow a much, much deeper set of problems that beset the Black community in the United States, and that threatens the rest of the country as a whole, if not brought up to the light of day for honest examination, forthright discussion, and an earnest desire to heal these wounds for the Good of All, and not just the Selected Few.

Gitmo In Germany? Security Guards Abuse Asylum Seekers
Two asylum seekers have been severely beaten and abused by security
guards in a German town. The police compared the brutal actions to those
committed by US guards in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, against the prisoners.
RT: The seekers were abused in shelter home in a small community of Burbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state of Germany, reported the country’s press. The scandal has prompted the German government to publicly condemn pictures showing the abuse.
The alleged suspects filmed all the guards’ actions on smartphones. A local journalist received a DVD showing the abuse. Police authorities immediately opened investigation into the case.
One video shows an asylum seeker lying on the floor and one of the members of security staff pinning his neck down with his boot. The other guard is sitting near-by, seeming posing to the camera.
Another video shows one more refugee sitting on the vomit-covered mattress.
"These are pictures that most of us would associate with
Guantanamo Bay," Frank Richter, police chief in nearby city
of Hagen, told local media. "Both security guards are
grinning."

Feminist Emma Watson’s UN Speech: What She Didn’t Say #HeForShe
The Unspoken Truth Of Domestic Violence: Woman As Aggressor
By Dr. Edward Rhymes: I
approach this writing with some trepidation because it will run counter
in some areas to the current debate regarding domestic violence. When
wading in these highly volatile and controversial waters, one finds that
disclaimers—like life jackets—must be affixed to the body of the
argument.
Add to those glaring examples of epidemic-like violence against women figures the college/university campus date rape statistics, the reported high rates of sexual assault in South Africa, the mass kidnappings of girls in Nigeria, and the list could go on and on. These are not trivial things. Yet, although violence against women and girls includes domestic violence, not all domestic violence features women and girls as the victims. Sometimes, the woman is the abuser.
Violence against women
Girls younger than 15 are five times more likely to die in childbirth than women in their 20s. And pregnancy is consistently among the leading causes of death for girls aged 15 to 19 worldwide. Incidents of domestic violence against women occur every 15 seconds in the U.S.Add to those glaring examples of epidemic-like violence against women figures the college/university campus date rape statistics, the reported high rates of sexual assault in South Africa, the mass kidnappings of girls in Nigeria, and the list could go on and on.

"I Am Putting Everything In Goldman Sachs Because These Guys Can Do Whatever The Hell They Want"
Submitted by Tyler Durden: When we first covered the Carmen Segarra lawsuit alleging the capture of the NY Fed by Goldman Sachs back in October 2013, we didn't have much hope for justice to get done. We said that "while her allegations may be non-definitive, and her wrongful termination suit is ultimately dropped, there is hope this opens up an inquiry into the close relationship between Goldman and the NY Fed. Alas, since the judicial branch is also under the control of the two abovementioned entities, we very much doubt it."
Sure enough, the lawsuit was dropped (and no inquiry was opened) but not before it became clear that the very judge in charge of the case, U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, was herself conflicted, after it was revealed that her husband, Greg Andres, a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell, was representing Goldman in an advisory capacity. Curiously, before she assumed her current office in March 2013, back in 2008 Abrams returned to Davis Polk herself as Special Counsel for Pro Bono. She had previously worked at the firm from 1994 to 1998. For the full, and quite amazing, story of how the "Judge" steamrolled Segarra's objections reads this Reuters piece. As a result of this fiasco, some wondered just how far do Goldman's tentacles stretch not only at the money-printing (i.e., NY Fed) level, not only at the legislative level (see "With Cantor Down, Which Other Politicians Has Goldman Invested In?"), but at the judicial as well.
And then, on Friday, the Segarra case against the Federal Reserve branch of Goldman Sachs got a second wind, when as a result of another disclosure, ProPublica revealed "How Goldman Controls The New York Fed in 47.5 Hours Of "The Secret Goldman Sachs Tapes." That is to say, nothing new was revealed per se, because as anyone who has read this website for the past 6 years knows just how vast Goldman's network is not only at the Fed, but in that all important other continent too, Europe.
United Misandric Nations: She Loves HeForShe, But What About He?
By Victor Zen (Sage Gerard): When Sheryl Sandberg spearheaded #BanBossy and wrote Lean In, I wondered how a woman worth over $1 billion could realistically identify with a woman making $15,000 or less a year. I don’t automatically emulate Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, or Steve Jobs as men precisely because their advice may not be applicable to my circumstances. That, and I do not trust disturbingly rich people to be pragmatic about social issues.
I also found myself questioning the qualifications of the multi-millionare Emma Watson, who stood up on behalf of UN Women to deliver a speech for HeForShe, a campaign requesting commitment from men for the sake of women.
HeForShe exploded in traffic because many famous brands crawled into one big sweaty bed. JP Morgan is a sponsor, so money isn’t an issue.
We need a Jeff Foxworthy–inspired list of sarcastic “You know you’re oppressed if …” jokes, like “You know you’re oppressed when big banks give money to global organizations dedicated specifically to you.”
The speech went exactly as I expected: Watson prevaricates on feminism’s brand development crisis, then says through a choked voice that gender equality is important, which of course means more men need to participate in helping only women.

Iran Foiled Zionist BBC Operation To Steal Iranian Historical Documents
Iran’s Intelligence Ministry says it has thwarted attempts by the Zionist shill British Brainwashing Corporation (BBC) to steal Iran's cultural, historical and art documents.

It added that the move, which was against media regulations and international law, has been monitored and nipped in the bud as a result of appropriate measures taken by the Iranian intelligence forces.

Is It Immoral To Hang Out With Statists?
Miracle Man (Who Invented Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Engineering That’s Still Sinking Companies Today)
By Bryan Taylor: Ivar Kreuger was an industrial and financial genius who sought
complete control over the operations of his global match conglomerate.
At the height of his power, Kreuger ran a monopoly that controlled 75%
of all global match sales. Kreuger succeeded, in part, by introducing
innovations in finance that are still being used today, but which have
also been used by companies such as Enron and others to deceive
investors. His insatiable desire for complete control and the promises
Kreuger made that couldn’t be kept led to the collapse of his company in
1932 and billions of dollars in losses to investors.
Miracle Man
Ivar Kreuger got his start in the construction business, introducing new engineering techniques in Sweden that enabled him to win contracts to build the Stockholm Olympic Stadium (1912) and Stockholm City Hall (1913). He succeeded not only because he used the latest construction technology, but because Kreuger was able to complete these buildings on time and on budget. Unlike other construction companies, Kreuger promised to pay a penalty if buildings were not completed by the contract date. He also asked that he receive a bonus if the projects were completed early, which they often were. Kreuger was a wheeler and dealer from the beginning. He knew how to incentivize his clients to both win contracts and to profit from them.
Although successful in the construction business, Kreuger focused on developing the match company his family owned. He established AB Svenska Förenade Tändsticksfabriker (Swedish Match) in 1918 and spun off the construction business to expand Kreuger and Toll’s match business. Kreuger’s ultimate goal for the firm was the complete horizontal and vertical integration of the match business in Scandinavia, which he achieved.

Ready Or Not... The Unsustainable Status Quo Is Ending
By Chris Martenson: I have to confess, it's getting more and more difficult to find ways of writing about everything going on in the world.
Not because there's a shortage of things to write about -- wars, propaganda, fraud, Ebola -- but because most of the negative news and major world events we see around us are symptoms of the disease, not the disease itself.
There are only so many times you can describe the disease, before it all becomes repetitive for both the writer and the reader. It's far more interesting to get to the root cause, because then real solutions offering real progress can be explored.
Equally troubling, in a world where the central banks have distorted, if not utterly flattened, the all important relationship between prices, risk, and reality, what good does it do to seek some sort of meaning in the new temporary arrangement of things?
When the price of money itself is distorted, then all prices are merely derivative works of that primary distortion. Some prices will be too high, some far too low, but none accurately determined by the intersection of true demand and supply.
If risk has been taken from where it belongs and instead shuffled onto central bank balance sheets, or allowed to be hidden by new and accommodating accounting tricks, has it really disappeared? In my world, risk is like energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed or transferred.
If reality no longer has a place at the table -- such as when policy makers act as if the all-too-temporary shale oil bonanza is now a new permanent constant -- then the discussions happening around that table are only accidentally useful, if ever, and always delusional.

FBI Blasts Apple, Google Phone Encryption: It "Allows People To Be Beyond The Law"
By Martin Armstrong: FBI director James Comey, who used to be the head prosecutor in NYC
the most corrupt office in the system, had come out swinging at Apple
and Google for developing forms of smartphone encryption so secure that
law enforcement officials cannot easily gain access to information
stored on the devices – even when they have valid search warrants. Of
course, Mr Comey can only see the abuse of power of government as
necessary and not the severe damage that has been done to the entire
industry because of the abuse of the NSA and others. He said he could
not understand why companies would “market something expressly to allow people to place themselves beyond the law.” Perhaps he should not work for government and then he might get it.
Largely because of the abuse of government, which is by itself beyond the law that he cannot grasp, this is not a question of only criminals. This is a matter of personal privacy that a government if FREE – has not right to violate. This is not all about him. This is what those in government cannot see. There is a real world out here with a right to LIBERTY, FREEDOM FOR ALL, and the right to PRIVACY. It was government outlawing condoms that led the Supreme Court to draw the line and say no – there is a right to privacy. That right was established in Griswold v Connecticut. Just how does one enforce you are not using a condom? Do government agents storm into your bedroom to inspect before having sex? This is what Comey just does not understand – sorry you have no such right. Prove your cases the old fashion way – with detective work.

Cultural Misandry: How To Tame Men
By Peter Wright: Horses,
dogs and men have one thing in common; they need training in order to
shed their wild ways and become civilized. They need to be taught when
to walk, run, sit, shit, play, work and of course, when to cease
fighting and attempting rape.
Women will do this for them.
From the pony club to the dog obedience class, and all the way through to wedding and relationship-advice magazines teaching “How to get him to do xyz,” – women dominate the field of animal training.
Starting in childhood, girls are educated in the Pavlovian school of human interactions, learning sexual manipulation, shaming and relational aggression as powerful techniques that if properly applied, will help transform men, and even the baddest of badboys, into proverbial Good Men.™ Is it any wonder then that when a woman sees a badboy she sees a creature with ‘train me’ written across his forehead, a task for which her whole life has been but a preparation….. a lady won’t tolerate a feral animal wandering through the gynosphere, especially a handsome one, when she has the wherewithal to civilize him.
Lets take a little excursion through the history of taming.
Ancient Greece
Marriage is a particularly useful method by which men are tamed, so it’s no surprise that the institution has been around for thousands of years. Hera, the Ancient Greek goddess of marriage was nicknamed ‘The Tamer.’ She tamed horses, men and heroes and in some places was recognized as the tamer of the seasons, of nature, or of the universe itself.
Hera’s goal was to limit wildness and freedom by placing all creatures in service of civilized society.

How The "Syrian Rebels" Really Feel About "Friendly" US Airstrikes
Submitted by Tyler Durden: Late yesterday, General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, disclosed what in a nutshell US strategy in Syria would be.
For one, he announced that the US would require some 12,000-15,000 armed, trained and paid for boots on the ground, i.e., mercenaries to do Obama's dirty work on the ground because the Nobel peace prize winner is unwilling to go all the way with his belligerent pivot. As a reminder, the last notable time the US engaged in wholesale arming and funding of offshore mercenaries was the Afghan war, when the CIA got involved with the Mujahideen "freedom fighters" whose funding began with $20–$30 million per year in 1980 and rose to $630 million per year in 1987, culminating with the terrorist action of Osama Bin Laden, once a close friend of the US and the CIA (read more about Operation Cyclone here).More importantly, as Reuters reported, Dempsey said that the endgoal is "to recapture lost territory in eastern Syria". Territory, which as we reported in July, amounts to 35% of Syria's landmass and includes most of its oilfields. And sure enough, the territory would be preserved for the exclusive use of the "rebels", or the group of Islamists from whose ranks none other than ISIS arose over the past year. And since the rebels couldn't care one way or another, this is merely a way for the US to say that whatever Syrian territory is "liberated" from ISIS presence, it will be disposed of as the US sees fit, with the only decisions being whether to grant it to Qatar or Saudi Arabia.
In the meantime, things on the propaganda front are going form bad to worse.
Western Bloc Headed By Washington Rejects UN Principle That All States Are Equal Says Russian FM Lavrov
The US-led Western block rejects the principle of the equality of sovereign states secured by the UN Charter while advocating democracy in the international arena, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressing the UNGA.
"The US-led Western alliance, while acting as an advocate of democracy, rule of law and human rights in individual countries, is acting in the international arena from the opposite position, rejecting the democratic principle of the sovereign right of states enshrined in the UN Charter and trying to decide for others what is good and what is bad," Lavrov said at the 69th session of the UN General Assembly in New York on Saturday.
RT: The Russian foreign minister elaborated that there was an “increasingly obvious contradiction between the need for collective action by partners to produce proper responses to common challenges and some countries' drive for dominance and revival of the archaic bloc mentality based on barrack-like discipline and flawed 'us and them' logic".
Lavrov added that Russia was willing to compromise and ready to balance interests only based on mutual respect and if the dialogue is “honest, respectful and equal”.

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the supermassive black hole of debt at the center of the UK economy from which nothing escapes: Wealth, jobs, hope are all sucked in and still the hole grows.Shit Feminists Say - Gamergate Edition - Honey Badger Radio

By Wolf Richter: Germany is expected to pull the Eurozone out of its funk by stimulating internal consumption. It is expected to allow the ECB to print money and stir up inflation so that other Eurozone countries like Spain or France can leverage that inflation to cut real wages, impoverish their people, devalue mountains of debt, make exports cheaper, and push imports beyond the reach of the poor.
The Eurozone is mired down, and it’s holding back the global economy. Germany would have to do its job. Not German exporters, for crying out loud – they’re causing all the problems, the official thinking goes. But German consumers, the same ones whose dour mood can last for years. They’d have to pull the Eurozone, and by extension the global economy, out of their funk.
But those consumers are getting cold feet, after businesses and investors have gotten cold feet months ago.The Ifo Business Climate Index fell to its lowest level since April 2013. Business Expectations fell to their lowest level since December 2012. In manufacturing, expectations dropped into the negative for the first time since January 2013, dragged down by flagging exports. Construction hit the lowest level since December 2012, and wholesaling hit the lowest level since March 2010. The Ifo Employment Barometer backed off as well. The German economy is sputtering.
The sentiment of “financial experts” has been diving for nine months in a row. The ZEW Indicator, whose the long-run average is 24.6, now sits at 6.9, the worst level since December 2012, when markets were climbing out of the debt crisis debacle (ugly chart). The report blamed the “sanction spiral with Russia” and “disappointing” economic activity in the Eurozone.
Catalonia President Ordered An Independence Referendum On Nov. 9
RT: The president of Catalonia, Artur Mas, has signed a decree calling an independence referendum for Nov. 9. The secessionist drive of the Spanish region has been rebuked by the fascists in Madrid, who vowed to block the vote.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has called a government meeting Monday that is expected to provide a bullshit legal response to Barcelona’s democratic announcement. Madrid plans to challenge the vote in the bullshit constitutional court.
Last week the Catalan parliament voted to hold an independence referendum in November, with 106 MPs in favour and 28 against.
Support in Catalonia for seceding from Spain grew in the relatively prosperous northeast province over years of economic hardships and austerity measures. A recent opinion poll by the Omnibus Opinion Studies Center showed that almost 60 percent of Catalans would vote for independence.

Will Russia And China Hold Their Fire Until War Is The Only Alternative?
By Paul Craig Roberts: Obama’s September 24 speech at the UN is the most absurd thing I have heard in my entire life. It is absolutely amazing that the president of the United States would stand before the entire world and tell what everyone knows are blatant lies while simultaneously demonstrating Washington’s double standards and belief that Washington alone, because the US is exceptional and indispensable, has the right to violate all law.
It is even more amazing that every person present did not get up and walk out of the assembly.
The diplomats of the world actually sat there and listened to blatant lies from the world’s worst terrorist. They even clapped their approval.
The rest of the speech was just utter bullshit: “We stand at a crossroads,” “signposts of progress,” “reduced chance of war between major powers,” “hundreds of millions lifted from poverty,” and while ebola ravages Africa “we’ve learned how to cure disease and harness the power of the wind and the sun.” We are now God. “We” is comprised of the “exceptional people”–Americans. No one else counts. “We” are it.
It is impossible to pick the most absurd statement in Obama’s speech or the most outrageous lie. Is it this one? “Russian aggression in Europe recalls the days when large nations trampled small ones in pursuit of territorial ambition.”

An Open Letter To Feminist Apologist Emma Watson
By Rachel Edwards:
Dear Emma Watson,I was not raised a celebrity. I can say that my life has been very different from yours. I am a woman living in America. I have not attended a fine university like Brown, as you did. I have known abuse, I have been molested. I have known hardship and depression. But there is something you should know.
I don’t need feminism.
Maybe you can’t understand why this might be so. How someone like me,
who has in the past been suicidal and faced such turmoil, could say
that I do not need something that is supposed to help the whole world.I want you to know that I am neither religious nor someone politically conservative, and I say this because many have accused me of this stance for merely disagreeing with feminism. Your idea of feminism is certainly beautiful, but it is not the reality of the women’s movement today, nor was it the reality of the past.
