Russell Brand's reaction to the new Apple Watch launch and why we shouldn't be buying it.

UK Secretary Of State For Health Jermy Cunt Tells F4J Dad You Have NO Rights

F4J: In a letter about Shared Parenting Rights and the Family Courts, the Secretary of State for Health, Jermy Cunt has told a dad he has no rights to see his children and there is no provision for Shared Parenting despite the Conservatives making a commitment to F4J to introduce it at the last election.
In the letter, Cunt tells Fathers4Justice supporter Sgt Richard Moore:
* To rely on mediation
* That the new Children & Families act requires courts to presume that a child’s welfare is furthered by the involvement of a parent, who wants to be involved in their life where that is “safe and consistent with the child’s welfare”
* That both parents remain jointly responsible for their children where that is “appropriate”
* That this legislation will help address the “perception of bias in the family courts “
* That it is important to stress that this change in the law will “not entitle parents to an equal share of the child’s time or a ‘right’ to contact with the child”

Raheem DeVaughn’s “Queens For A Day” Have On No Clothes

“All the words in this song are gonna be about you…” - Raheem DeVaughn, “You”

By Mumia Ali: The website BlackDoctor.org recently reported that NeoSoul singer and activist Raheem DeVaughn has held an event he calls “Queens For A Day” in order to buoy the spirits of battered Black women:

“Black women are almost three times as likely to experience death as a result of domestic violence/intimate partner violence (DV/IPV) than white women. And while Black women only make up 8% of the population, 22% of homicides that result from DV/IPV happen to Black Women and 29% of all victimized women, making it one of the leading causes of death for Black women ages 15 to 35.
Many of these women’s stories go unnoticed or live in shame, but award-winning R&B singer and activist Raheem DeVaughn decided to do something about it.
Raheem DeVaughn held a “Queen For A Day” event through his Love Life foundation for a room full of women–strong, determined women who survived domestic abuse and now share their stories of triumph.

Warmonger Hammond: Russia Greatest Threat To UK Security

British foreign secretary has described Russia as the “greatest threat” to UK national security.

Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: Philip 'MIC Shill' Hammond made the comments a speech at the Royal United Services Institute in London.
He warned that Russia’s modernization of its military capability is a “cause for concern” for the UK.

“The rapid pace with which Russia is seeking to modernize her military forces and weapons combined with the increasingly aggressive stance of the Russian military including Russian aircraft around the sovereign airspace of NATO states are all significant causes of concern,” British media quoted him as saying.

 “We are in familiar territory for anyone over the age of about 50, with Russia’s behavior a stark reminder that it has the potential to pose the single greatest threat to our security,” he said.

Feminism And Eugenics: Engineering Reproductive Totalitarianism

By Prentice Reid: Today the feminist movement is rightly given credit for helping to usher in a revolution in family planning. Unfortunately, presenting this obsession with controlling female fertility without examining the motivations and philosophy behind it leaves people naïve and with a shallow understanding of where this mindset originated.
The argument often used by feminists today is that the government should stay out of women’s vaginas; however, what is left out of the argument is the fact that early feminists were demanding that the government not only get into women’s vaginas (and men’s bodies as well) but that governments forcibly sterilize women the elite deemed unfit. These pioneering feminists who promulgated these ideas are celebrated today while men who promulgated them are rightfully condemned.

Palestinian Authority Urges Lieberman’s Arrest Over Beheading Remarks

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has demanded the arrest and trial of the Israeli Zio-Nazi foreign minister over his recent call for the beheading of those Palestinians who are not loyal to Tel Aviv.

Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: In a strongly worded statement on Monday, the PA’s Foreign Ministry said Avigdor Lieberman should be arrested “because he poses a threat to humanity.”

It said Lieberman’s remarks were “very dangerous,” adding that the “smugness of the killer Lieberman would surely be one of the cases brought before the International Criminal Court [ICC] so that he would stand trial for his crimes.”

The ministry said the remarks were part of an “official Israeli call for ethnic cleansing and an extension of the fascist policies of the [Jewish land thieves] settlers.”
Meanwhile, Palestinian Knesset member Ahmad Tibi has likened Lieberman to the Takfiri ISIL terrorists, who follow a practice of beheading.
Lieberman said on Sunday that all Arabs who reside in occupied Palestine and oppose Israel for its discriminatory policies against the Palestinians should be decapitated.
“Those against us, it cannot be helped, we must lift up an ax and behead them - otherwise we will not survive here,” hawkish Lieberman said.

Sheldon Adelson - The Dangerous American Oligarch Behind Benjamin 'The Butcher' Netanyahu

“What are we going to negotiate about? What I would say is, ‘Listen, you see that desert out there? I want to show you something,'” Adelson said at Yeshiva University. “You pick up your cellphone, and you call somewhere in Nebraska, and you say, ‘okay, let it go.’ So there’s an atomic weapon goes over — ballistic missiles — in the middle of the desert that doesn’t hurt a soul.”
Adelson continued: “Then you say, ‘See? The next one is in the middle of Tehran.’ So, we mean business. You want to be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your nuclear development.
– From the Washington Post article: Adelson: Obama Should Fire Nuke to Send Message to Iran 
By Michael Krieger: That a handful of extraordinarily rich and powerful oligarchs as well as mega-corporations have completely hijacked the American political process is hardy news. It’s been the key topic of discussion here at Liberty Blitzkrieg and elsewhere for many years (see: New Report from Princeton and Northwestern Proves It: The U.S. is an Oligarchy).
What makes their control so effective is the use of an army of lobbyists, lawyers, Super PACs and bought and paid for politicians to do their dirty work, thus employing an opaque network of well-heeled minions created to conceal who is really pulling the strings.

UK Rich-Poor Divide Further Agape: Report

Britain’s wealth gap has dramatically widened in the past decade, with the rich becoming 64 percent more well-off and the poor getting 57 percent poorer, a think tank reveals.
Press TV: The Social Market Foundation released on Tuesday a report which analyzed the changing earnings and saving of thousands of Britons between 2005 and 2012-13.  
The think tank said the wealth among the top 20 percent grew as they were able to set aside more money as a buffer, with average savings and investments of around £10,000 in 2012-13, compared with £6,000 prior to the recession several years ago.
This is while the poorest 20 percent have seen their net wealth fall by 57 percent from £120 per person in 2005 to zero in 2012-13. The findings also showed that the poorest owe 45 percent more money than what they did seven years ago.

The think tank called for more support to those with lower incomes and those who are within the younger age groups to help them save more. However, it also admitted that the task is a challenging one, “especially for those with little income to spare once necessities have been paid for.”

The 17 Elements Of Martial Law

By Dave Hodges: The “Martial Law” is thrown around with reckless disregard. Is America under martial law? This is a question that is most often discussed in the Independent Media. 
Martial law occurs when the prevailing regime feels threatened by the message being offered by the loyal opposition. When normal means of censorship and marginalization fail, despotic regimes resort to martial law with all intended brutality of a violent crackdown on all of those being perceived as the “enemy”.
Seventeen Martial Law Characteristics
Most experts agree that hard core martial contains the following 17  essential elements:

1-Mass roundup and/or execution of political dissidents
2-Dusk to dawn curfews
3-Rationing of essential resources
4-The seizing of personal assets such as food and water
5-Control over all food and water
6-The prohibition of weapons of any kind including guns, knives or chemicals which can be turned into explosives
7-The confiscation of property, homes and businesses
8-Arrests without due process
9-Massive “papers please” checkpoints with intrusive searches
10-Forced relocation

China Completes SWIFT Alternative, May Launch "De-Dollarization Axis" As Soon As September

Submitted by Tyler Durden: One of the recurring threats used by the western nations in their cold (and increasingly more hot) war with Russia, is that Putin's regime may be locked out of all international monetary transactions when Moscow is disconnected from the EU-based global currency messaging and interchange service known as SWIFT (a move, incidentally, which SWIFT lamented as was revealed in October when we reported that it announces it "regrets the pressure" to disconnect Russia). Of course, in the aftermath of revelations that back in 2013, none other than the NSA was exposed for secretly 'monitoring' the SWIFT payments flows, one could wonder if being kicked out of SWIFT is a curse or a blessing, however Russia did not need any further warnings and as we reported less than a month ago, Russia launched its own 'SWIFT'-alternative, linking 91 credit institutions initially. This in turn suggested that de-dollarization is considerably further along than many had expected, which coupled with Russia's record dumping of TSYs, demonstrated just how seriously Putin is taking the threat to be isolated from the western payment system. It was only logical that he would come up with his own.
There were two clear implications from this use of money as a means of waging covert war:

Apple Comes Out With A Watch, And Look What Happens

Total Dominance over the Media

By Wolf Richter: Some companies excel in getting their name into the media. “Buzz,” it’s called. The media plaster adulatory articles, pics, and videos all over the place. It doesn’t last forever, but it can go on for a long time before the media finally get disenchanted, and the whole thing turns sour.

Tesla – or rather CEO Elon Musk – used to excel at it. For years, every news outlet bombarded its readers or viewers with some fawning piece on Tesla whose electric cars would change the world into a better place. And if it wasn’t Tesla itself, it would be something like the Hyperloop or the Gigafactory or something.
But now even the media has figured out that these $75,000+ small-batch production cars that few people can afford don’t amount even to a rounding error in global car sales. Manufacturing and selling a lot of cars at a profit is really, really hard. And making losses into the future as far as the eye can see, according to Musk himself, isn’t the ideal business model for an automaker.
Until that unfortunate turn of events, Tesla used the hype to extract a few billion dollars from investors. And it’s now busily burning through this money.
Media adulation is in part based on gravity-defying shares. In early August last year. Tesla shares traded at nearly $300, giving the company a market valuation of $37 billion. This is what media adulation can accomplish.
