US Is A Clueless, Blood-Stained Bully, Risking Nuclear War - Russia's #1 Anchor Kiselyov

Can you believe it? Seven trillion dollars!
Right out the window. You might as well have
 thrown the money right out the window.'
: It is important to understand that Kiselyov's remarks are aimed at a domestic audience. His TV channel should really put more effort into the quality of the translation of what he has to say, because in Russian his style and delivery are devastating, and much of the punch of what he says is lost in these lifeless, robotic translations.

'Russia-US Direct Conflict In Syria Was Close, But Avoided'

"Their plan was to create this rift within the society that will make things easier for them, when you have a kind of civil war between sex or ethnicity." Said Assad.
RT: Syrian President Bashar Assad says Moscow deterred the West from launching a devastating country-wide air strike last month, and believes that Damascus has nearly won the seven-year war, despite continued Zionist neo-con-artist US 'interference.'

Bye-Bye Benz: Trump Planning Ban On Luxury German Autos

By Tyler Durden: Having cornered his European "allies" over the Iran sanctions, and tightened his grip on the EU economy over metals tariffs, a report by German magazine WirtschaftsWoche claims that President Trump is taking direct aim at Merkel and is preparing to impose a total ban on German luxury carmakers from the U.S. market.

Citing several unnamed U.S. and European diplomats, the weekly business magazine reported that Trump told French President Emmanuel Macronlast month he would maintain his trade policy with the aim of stopping Mercedes-Benz models from driving down Fifth Avenue in New York.
WiWo reports that Trump's grudge against the German automaker - and especially against Mercedes models in New York - is not new
In January 2017, prior to his inauguration, he said in an interview, "When you walk down Fifth Avenue, everyone has a Mercedes-Benz in front of their house." But that's not reciprocity. "How many Chevrolets do you see in Germany? Not too many, maybe none at all, you do not see anything over there, it's a one-way street," said the real estate billionaire.

Police Hire Menopause Hypnotherapist For Female Staff

A Month After Another Force Brought In ‘Have A Cry’ Rooms
By Sebastian Murphy-bates: Police have recruited a hypnotherapist to help female staff through the menopause while another force has set up crying rooms.
West Midlands Police has brought in expert Steve Woods to work with ladies going through the change.
The force has a regular support group for those experiencing related health problems at work.
Mr Woods runs his company from Cannock, Staffordshire, and attended a menopause meeting at the Birmingham headquarters last week.
He specialises in wellbeing at work and said menopausal women had already expressed their gratitude following the initial session.
'We are going to be doing it on a regular basis, and looking at creating products that may be useful to them, audio recordings and all sorts of things,' he said.
'At that initial meeting we got some really good feedback. It was a learning exercise on both sides - them and me - as being a man menopause is not something I know a massive amount about.
'I had a lot of learning to do as well, we did some work and they really got some benefits. It’s an ongoing project.
'Hypnosis is very much experiential, because it’s all about experiencing things under hypnosis.

No Answer To ‘Animal Assad’: Syrian Leader Says He Does Not Have Insulting Nickname For Trump

He's got too much class
RT: US President Donald Trump infamously called his Syrian counterpart ‘animal Assad’ in one of his tweets. When asked whether he has a nickname for Trump, Assad told RT he does not use such language.
“This is not my language, so, I cannot use similar language. This is his language. It represents him,” Bashar Assad said in an exclusive interview with RT, which will be shown in full on Thursday at 11:30 am GMT.
I think there is a very known principle, that what you say is what you are. So, he wanted to represent what he is, and that’s normal,” he added.
He said Trump’s invention of an insulting nickname didn’t really matter concerning what happens in Syria.
“The only thing that moves you is people that you trust, people who are level-headed, people who are thoughtful, people who are moral, ethical, that's what should move anything inside you, whether positive or negative. Somebody like Trump will move nothing for me,” he said.
Speaking to RT’s Murad Gazdiev, Assad explained his government’s position on the ongoing armed conflict in Syria, including allowing militant forces safe passage to Idlib, the escalating tension with the apartheid Jewish state Israel and the continued presence of US troops in the north.

Finding The Truth Amid Israel’s Lies

'Israeli forces committed some of the worst atrocities
in the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
The crimes were so serious that some leading Zionists described them as Nazi actions.'
Great sadness and suffering flooded the roads – convoy upon convoy of refugees making their way [to the Lebanese border]. They leave the villages of their homeland and the homeland of their ancestors and move to an alien, unknown new land, full of troubles. Women, children, babies, donkeys – everyone is on the move, quietly and sadly, to the north, without looking left or right.
A woman cannot find her husband, a child cannot find his father … Everything that can walk is moving, running away not knowing what to do, not knowing where they are going. Many of their belongings are spread on the sideways; the more they walk the more exhausted they become, they nearly cannot walk anymore – shedding from the bodies everything they tried to salvage when they are on their way to exile …

May You Live In Stupid, Corrupt And Yet Fascinating Times

In the old days, America’s top spies would complete their tenures at the CIA or one of the other Washington puzzle palaces and segue to more ordinary pursuits. Some wrote their memoirs. One ran for president. Another died a few months after surrendering his post. But today’s national-security establishment retiree has a different game plan. After so many years of brawling in the shadows, he yearns for a second, lucrative career in the public eye. He takes a crash course in speaking in soundbites, refreshes his wardrobe and signs a TV news contract. Then, several times a week, waits for a network limousine to shuttle him to the broadcast news studios where, after a light dusting of foundation and a spritz of hairspray, he takes a supporting role in the anchors’ nighttime shows.

In the last 24 hours alone, we’ve seen political chaos erupt in Italy and hordes of pundits simultaneously lose their minds over the murder of a prominent Russian journalist that never happened. Such is the world we live in. Stupid, corrupt, yet fascinating.

The TSA Is Keeping A Secret Watchlist Of Americans Who Fight Back Against Pointless Groping

Authored by James Bovard:

"I need a witness!" exclaimed the security screener at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Because I had forgotten to remove my belt before going through a scanner, he explained, I must undergo an "enhanced patdown."
I told him that if he jammed his hand into my groin, I'd file a formal complaint. So he summoned his supervisor to keep an eye on the proceedings.
I thought of this exchange last week when the New York Times revealed that the Transportation Security Administration has created a secret watchlist for troublesome passengers.
The TSA justified the list by saying that its screeners were assaulted 34 times last year, but did not release any details about the alleged assaults.  
Naturally, the TSA's official definition of troublemaking goes well beyond punching its officers. According to a confidential memo, any behavior that is "offensive and without legal justification" can land a traveler on the list,

Welcome To The Hotel Europa...

'Both the EU and the euro have been designed: not just as a prison, but as a prison without any doors or windows. No way to get out.'
Authored by Raul Ilargi Meijer: On Friday, in This is the End of the Euro, I said: The euro has become a cage, a prison for the poorer brethren. The finance minister proposed by 5-Star/Lega and refused by Italian president Mattarella, Paolo Savona, has called the euro a German cage. 
There are now stories spreading that the coalition, Savona first of all, were secretly planning an exit from the euro. A series of slides Savona prepared in 2015 on how to exit the euro is used as evidence of that secret plan. But the slides are not secret. Yes, he has said that it’s good to have a plan to leave ‘if necessary’. But that’s not the same as secretly planning such a move.
Every country should have such a plan, and you would hope they do. A government that doesn’t is being very irresponsible. But it’s true, this is how both the EU and the euro have been designed: not just as a prison, but as a prison without any doors or windows. No way to get out. And that will prove to be its fatal flaw.

The United States Is A Force For Chaos Across The Planet

By Mark Karlin: The United States is "incapable of producing any results other than destruction and further fragmentation across staggeringly large parts of the planet," argues Tom Engelhardt, author of A Nation Unmade by War. Since 1991, the US has been engaged in a misguided and destructive exercise of triumphalism. In this interview, Engelhardt discusses why the US is an empire of chaos.
Mark Karlin: How much money has gone to the US "war on terror" and what has been the impact of this expenditure?
Tom Engelhardt: The best figure I've seen on this comes from the Watson Institute's Costs of War Project at Brown University, and it's a staggering $5.6 trillion, including certain future costs to care for this country's war vets. President Trump himself, with his usual sense of accuracy, has inflated that number even more, regularly speaking of $7 trillion being lost somewhere in our never-ending wars in the Greater Middle East. One of these days, he's going to turn out to be right.
As for the impact of such an expenditure in the regions where these wars continue to be fought, largely nonstop,

Jewish Currency Rapist Soros Is Funding A Brexit Re-Vote Campaign, Set To Launch "In The Next Few Days"

By Tyler Durden: George 'Nation Rapist' Soros revealed that he has been sneakily pouring money into a campaign for a second Brexit referendum set to begin "in the next few days," according to the billionaire.
Speaking to an audience at the European Council for Foreign Relations in Paris on Tuesday, Soros said that Brexit was an example of "territorial disintegration," that has impaired the smooth function of the EU, according to The Times
"Most of the damage is felt right now when the European Union is in an existential crisis, but its attention is diverted to negotiating a separation agreement with Britain. That’s a lose-lose proposition, but it could be converted into a win-win situation," said the 87-year-old Soros. 
Soros has reportedly given £700,000 (US$927,000) to the group "Best for Britain," an anti-Brexit organization which has been pushing for a second referendum.
According to the billionaire, another referendum "would be good for Britain but would also render Europe a great service by rescinding Brexit and not creating a hard-to-fill hole in the European budget.

Male Infant Ritual Genital Mutilation Soft Name 'Circumcision' Violates Physician's Fiduciary Duty To The Child

Bonobo3D: The physician-patient relationship is based on trust. Accordingly, courts impose upon physicians a strict fiduciary duty, the highest duty in the law, to act in the best interest of pediatric patients in matters involving their health, keeping their welfare paramount. It is suggested that circumcision violates the physicians' fiduciary duty to boys and the men they become. First, boys are usually circumcised because their parents have a religious, cultural, or personal preference for the circumcised penis. To circumcise for such reasons is to make the interests of the parents paramount, and to ignore the health of boys and men. The physicians duty is to render competent care to children based on their medical needs, independent of their parent's desires, and also to obtain the consent of children and adolescents whenever possible.

Saudi Wahhabism Serves Zionist Neo-Con-Artist Imperialism


By Andre Vltchek: When the Saudi Crown Prince gave an interview to the Washington Post, declaring that it was actually the West that encouraged his country to spread Wahhabism to all corners of the world, there was a long silence in almost all the mass media outlets in the West, but also in countries such as Egypt and Indonesia.

Those who read the statement, expected a determined rebuke from Riyadh. It did not come. The sky did not fall. Lightning did not strike the Prince or the Post.
Clearly, not all that the Crown Prince declared appeared on the pages of the Washington Post, but what actually did, would be enough to bring down entire regimes in such places like Indonesia, Malaysia or Brunei.Or at least it would be enough under ‘normal circumstances’. That is, if the population there was not already hopelessly and thoroughly indoctrinated and programed, and if the rulers in those countries did not subscribe to, or tolerate, the most aggressive, chauvinistic and ritualistic (as opposed to the intellectual or spiritual) form of the religion.
Reading between the lines, the Saudi Prince suggested that it was actually the West which, handpicked Islam and its ultra-orthodox and radical wing – Wahhabism – as an ally in destroying almost all the progressive, anti-imperialist and egalitarian aspirations in the countries with a Muslim majority.

Putin To Macron: You're Not Sovereign, You're 'Like Obedient Little Children!'

By : There has been much talk of Macron behaving like the leader of a sovereign nation recently, but we don't buy it.
To us, he still has the manner of a schoolboy trying hard to ingratiate himself with grownups. Plus, he is distinctly effeminate.
He obviously didn't get to where he is on his own merits, rather he was put there by people who are probably not very effeminate.
Putin is a plain-spoken, no BS kind of guy, so this exchange was entertaining.
Macron was trying to say that France is a sovereign nation, which is obviously not true - just look how cravenly they toed the Israeli line in joining in on the recent attack on Syria, Macron spouting the lies dictated to him by his masters. It was pathetic and embarrassing.
Here, Putin gently explains to Macron that he is mistaken.

Tiresias’s Prophetic Knowledge Started With Juno And Jove’s Dispute

After much drinking, Jove, the nominal head god in charge of the cosmos, put aside his onerous concerns and dared to poke his boss wife Juno with gentle teasing. He told her that women receive more pleasure from sex than men do. Juno sternly disagreed. They asked Tiresias to pass sentence on their dispute, for he had personal experience as a double transsexual. According to Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Tiresias’s expert judgment affirmed the subsequently suppressed truth that the sexual division of labor and reward favors women.
Tireasias transformed into a womanTiresias was extraordinarily qualified to judge women’s advantage in sex. Serving as an man enforcing gynocentric ideology, Tiresias had struck with his staff two huge snakes that were mating in a green forest. Those who police sexual behavior are predominately females. Those who are punished for sex are overwhelming males. As a result of attacking and interrupting the mating, Tiresias was transformed into a woman. That transformation symbolically aligned Tiresias with castration culture.
Seven years later, Tiresias saw the same snakes again. Ovid with starkness of description figured the snakes as now lying listlessly and apathetically in exile from nature.[1]

2018/1984: In The UK... You're Not Allowed To Talk About It. About What? Don't Ask!

"I am in a country that is not free... I feel jealous as hell of you guys in America. You don't know how lucky you are." — Carl Benjamin (aka Sargon of Akkad), YouTuber with around a million subscribers.

"I am trying to recall a legal case where someone was convicted of a 'crime' which cannot be reported on." — Gerald Batten, UKIP member of the European Parliament.

"UKIP Peer Malcolm Lord Pearson has written to Home Secretary Sajid Javid today saying: if Tommy is murdered or injured in prison he and others will mount a private prosecution against Mr Javid as an accessory, or for misconduct in public office." — Gerald Batten.
On Friday, British free-speech activist and Islam critic Tommy Robinson was acting as a responsible citizen journalist -- reporting live on camera from outside a Leeds courtroom where several Muslims were being tried for child rape -- when he was set upon by several police officers. In the space of the next few hours, a judge tried, convicted, and sentenced him to 13 months in jail -- and also issued a gag order, demanding a total news blackout on the case in the British news media.

First Woman To Join Infantry Regiment Since Defence Chiefs Lifted Ban On Females Serving In Combat Units Quits After TWO WEEKS, Admitting She Underestimated 18-Week Course

Call sign 'bouncy bouncy' is understood to have been one of just three women who applied to join the RAF Regiment and the only one considered fit enough [J4MB emphasis. Considered fit enough by who, and on what grounds? The person is evidently utterly incompetent, given the woman threw the towel in after just two weeks into an 18-week course.] to start the course at RAF Honington alongside 44 men.

She tried her best [J4MB: “Trying your best” will be the critical success factor in the next war Britain fights, hopefully] and was honest enough to admit the course was too tough for her.

Jews DO Control The Lame Stream Media

Jews Can Speak Truthfully About Jewish Power
But Goyim And Shiksas Cannot
By Manny Friedman, Times Of IsRealHell: We Jews are a funny breed. We love to brag about every Jewish actor. Sometimes we even pretend an actor is Jewish just because we like him enough that we think he deserves to be on our team. We brag about Jewish authors, Jewish politicians, Jewish directors. Every time someone mentions any movie or book or piece of art, we inevitably say something like, “Did you know that he was Jewish?” That’s just how we roll.
We’re a driven group, and not just in regards to the art world. We have, for example, AIPAC, which  was essentially constructed just to drive agenda in Washington DC. And it succeeds admirably. And we brag about it. Again, it’s just what we do.
But the funny part is when any anti-Semite or anti-Israel person starts to spout stuff like, “The Jews control the media!” and “The Jews control Washington!”
Suddenly we’re up in arms. We create huge campaigns to take these people down. We do what we can to put them out of work. We publish articles. We’ve created entire organizations that exist just to tell everyone that the Jews don’t control nothin’.

Hildebert Of Lavardin Described Mary Of Egypt’s Appreciation Of Men

Saint Mary of Egypt has been honored around the Mediterranean and beyond from the seventh century to the present. The early Latin life of Mary of Egypt indicates that she raped a boatload of men. A medieval Spanish poetic version of her life recounts that she incited considerable violence against men. But the great French theologian and poet Hildebart of Lavardin, writing about the year 1100, described Mary of Egypt as giving gifts to men who had sex with her. Saint Mary of Egypt thus deserves to be recognized as a leading woman in the pursuit of fundamental gender equality for men. Saint Mary of EgyptAccording to the medieval Spanish life of Mary of Egypt, she was an extraordinarily beautiful woman. That account, drawing upon an earlier account, declares:
From her time on
no one else so beautiful was born;
neither queen nor countess,
no other like her has been seen.
She had round ears,
white as ewe’s milk.
Black eyes and eyebrows,
a brow white to the hairline.
Her face was tinted with color
like a rose in flower;
her mouth beautiful and well-proportioned.
Her gaze was very beautiful.

America’s Fifth Column Will Destroy Russia

This is the lecture I would have given if I had been able to accept the invitation to address the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in Russia this weekend.
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Executive Summary:  From the standpoint of Russia’s dilemma, this is an important column.  Putin’s partial impotence via-a-vis Washington is due to the grip that neoliberal economics exercises over the Russian government. Putin cannot break with the West, because he believes that Russian economic development is dependent on Russia’s integration within the Western economy. That is what neoliberal economics tells the Russian economic and financial establishment. 
Everyone should understand that I am not a pro-Russian anti-American.  I am anti-war, especially nuclear war.  My concern is that the inability of the Russian government to put its foot down is due to its belief that Russian development, despite all the talk about the Eurasian partnership and the Silk Road, is dependent on being integrated with the West. This totally erroneous belief prevents the Russian government from any decisive break with the West. Consequently, Putin continues to accept provocations in order to avoid a decisive break that would cut Russia off from the West.  In Washington and the UK this is interpreted as a lack of resolve on Putin’s part and encourages an escalation in provocations that will intensify until Russia’s only option is surrender or war.
If the Russian government did not believe that it needed the West, the government could give stronger responses to provocations that would make clear that there are limits to what Russia will tolerate. It would also make Europe aware that its existence hangs in the balance.

"He's A Political Prisoner Whose Life Is In Clear And Pressing Danger": Tommy Robinson Offered Asylum By German MP

By Tyler Durden: A German member of Parliament (MP) has offered British activist Tommy Robinson political asylum following his arrest on Friday for suspicion of breaching the peace while livestreaming outside the trial of a child grooming gang.  
Tommy Robinson is a political prisoner, whose life is in clear and pressing danger. We have to do everything we can to make sure he is granted political asylum,” said the office of conservative German MP Petr Bystron in a Saturday statement provided to the Gateway Pundit's Cassandra Fairbanks.
“As we know, German asylum laws are applied very liberally. Since 2012, 1.8 million mostly economic migrants have come to Germany under these asylum laws, even though they were not actually persecuted politically,” said Bystron, who himself came to Germany as a political refugee from Communism when he was 16.
The statement continued on to say that Robinson is an actual victim of political persecution and that he is appealing to the German Federal Government, the German Foreign Office, the European Union and all human rights organizations

Juno Disparaged Minerva And Venus: Some Difficulties Of Sisterhood

Juno, wife of Jove
: Juno, Minerva, and Venus all belonged to the sisterhood of women. They also were closely related. Minerva was Juno’s step-daughter and niece. The father of Juno’s husband had castrated his father, whose genitals fell into the sea and formed Venus. What could be more empowering for womanly solidarity? Yet when it came to having Paris judge their beauty, these three sisters were at each other’s throats. 
In addressing Paris and his judgment, Juno emphasized her queenly position. She described herself as the “bride of great Jove {magni nupta Iovis}.” Jove was titular ruler of the stars, while his brothers Neptune and Pluto nominally were in charge of the seas and the underworld, respectively. Juno proudly proclaimed her status as wife of Jove. Yet, within gynocentric society, she also rightly understood herself to be the actual ruler of all:
I myself, am Jove’s
only love, the one who guides the laws of the triple realms,
who am obeyed by Neptune’s wave, and shades of Hell
and stars of Jove — yet I won’t anger, if judged by you,
a mortal man, since I’ll not return to Jove less loved,
if a human, in doubt of Juno’s beauty, delays.

An Open Letter To Terri Reilly, CEO Relationships Australia

By : Following is a reproduction of an open letter to be sent to Terri Reilly, Chief Executive Officer, Relationships Australia WA by the President of the Australian Men’s Rights Association Inc (AMRA).
***
Ms Reilly, Relationships Australia WA (hereafter RAWA) bills itself as having a vision to:

Better lives for all Western Australians, their families and their communities, within a society that is inclusive, responsive and supportive of all, and where strong, healthy relationships are promoted and valued.
Recent media reports suggest that RAWA may be conducting its activities without the benefit of research covering the full scope of intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV). This disadvantages not just men who are victims of DV/IPV but women who are victims of DV/IPV as well. It is important that an organisation like RAWA uses the best available research on intimate partner violence and domestic violence to underpin its work. This letter contains a brief overview but I trust it encourages staff at your organisation to review research on the subject matter.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) can be broadly divided in to two categories.

Judge Orders Orwellian Media Blackout ~ Tommy Robinson Arrested Outside UK Court And Jailed For 13 Months

By Tyler Durden: UK activist and English Defence Leage founder Tommy Robinson was arrested on Friday outside of Leeds Crown Court for reporting on a pedophile grooming trial. Within six hours of his arrest, Robinson was handed a 13 month prison term for violating a prior suspended sentence for a similar offense, while media outlets were banned from covering the incident by the court - with several removing reports which had already been published.
Footage shows Robinson, 35, being arrested while livestreaming to his Facebook page outside the courthouse. He can be heard shouting to a friend "Please, George, get me a solicitor, I’m on a suspended sentence, you see."
A big police van with about seven police officers pulled up and arrested [Robinson] and told him to stop live streaming,” Robinson’s producer told RT (before their article (archived) was scrubbed from the internet). “They said it was incitement and a breach of the peace,
“No peace has been breached – there were two other people there and he’s been perfectly quiet talking into his phone. [The police] said nothing about the court proceedings. It’s very strange.”
Disturbingly, the judge who sentenced Robinson, Geoffrey Marson QC, ordered an Orwellian media blackout - which resulted in several publications deleting their articles from the web covering Robinson's arrest.

JSIL PM: Palestinians "Died" While Israel Showed Restraint!

"Syrian Observatory For Human Rights" Is Run By UK MI6

On Sources And Information
The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights
By Moon Of Alabama: The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights (SOHR) claims to be a one person shop in Coventry, Britain. But that is only the front story. It is part of a larger organization and the intelligence infrastructure used to wage war on Syria.
A few commentators have recently criticized that I used SOHR as a source in some of my pieces. Here is why.
SOHR is not a pure propaganda operation like the White Helmets are. It is relatively truthful in its reporting of events and casualties in Syria. The total casualty count of the war SOHR gives is likely too high due to some estimates it uses in its bottom numbers. But an early check of its detailed accounts showed that its reports from incidents on the ground were mostly correct.
SOHR's numbers have been quoted by about every news outlet in the world, usually in pro-rebel propaganda pieces. But it is not the observatory that turns the information it collects into propaganda. The media do that when they quote SOHR without the necessary caveats or when they disregard it where its information contradicts the official story. The examples below show that this is now often the case.

Ha’aretz Reports On Jewish State Ties To Trump Probe

There are billionaires aplenty with Kremlin ties who funneled political contributions to Donald Trump and top Republican leaders. So many are Israel lobbyists, Netanyahu cronies, and well-connected Jewish oligarchs — could it all be just one big coincidence? Read two articles below: 
Ha’aretz reports on Israeli ties to Trump ProbeRobert Muller’s probe into Trump’s ties with Russia has unearthed a cache of rich and powerful men and women, all of whom share several traits: they are, or are closely linked to major Jewish and/or Israeli and/or Russian players 
#1 – Analysis: The Countless Israeli Connections to Mueller’s Probe of Trump and Russia
By Chemi Shalev: The Israeli media usually takes scant interest in Robert Mueller’s investigations. It prefers to dwell on Donald Trump’s supposedly pro-Israeli policies. Last week’s report in the New York Times about the participation of Joel Zamel, the Australian-born “Israeli specialist in social media manipulation,” in an August 3, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower in New York was an exception to the rule. The FBI, the Times reported, had even come to Israel to search the offices of Zamel’s company. Here was a direct Israeli link to the scandal that has bewitched much of America since Trump was first elected.
The moment of fleeting interest was followed up by a report, published by Walla! News, that another Israeli-based company called Inspiration, run by former IDF intelligence officers, had been employed by a super PAC that supported Trump’s election.

Mapping The Tsunami Of Suicides Across America - 3 Out Of 4 Around 30,000 Per Year Are Men And Boys

By Tyler Durden: Suicide is a very complicated public health issue, influenced by demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, as well as health- and crime-related factors. Since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), a tsunami of suicides has swept across America, making it the tenth leading cause of death, and in 2015, accounted for more than 44,000 deaths.
Understanding the geographic patterns of suicide can better inform the nation that something is not quite right.
Although government researchers have presented state-level trends in suicide rates, data at the county-level has been widely overlooked. The ‘County-Level Trends in Suicide Rates in the U.S., 2005–2015‘ report, issued by a team of researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) used county-level changes in suicide rates to examine geographic trends and identify urban-rural patterns in these type of deaths from 2005 to 2015.

Golden Mangina Booker Prize 2018 Shortlist

By , J4MB: Whenever merit can be judged subjectively, women “win” awards and prizes far more often than when merit can be judged objectively (when they never win them). To ensure the former, we have feminist manipulation such as this. From the Mangina Booker website:

2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of The Man Booker Prize. To celebrate this landmark, the Booker Prize Foundation is putting 50 years of Booker-winning titles head-to-head in a competition for the Golden Man Booker prize, a one-off award crowning the best work of fiction from the last five decades of the prize.
Now, the five judges – writer and editor Robert McCrum, poet Lemn Sissay MBE, novelist Kamila Shamsie, broadcaster and novelist Simon Mayo, and poet Hollie McNish – have completed the unenviably difficult task of narrowing down five decades of prize-winning fiction to just five shortlisted titles. But the final choice is down to readers who now have the chance to participate in a month-long vote to determine the overall winner, announced at the Man Booker 50 Festival on 8 July 2018.
The question is, which will get your Golden Man Booker vote?
We are being asked to believe that the authorship of the best winning books from the past five decades run like this:

Jewish Apartheid State Wants To Criminalizes Filming Israeli Death Forces' [IDF] Human Rights Violations

'Videos which unambiguously confirm that Israeli soldiers are willfully intending to execute unarmed Palestinian civilians, have been recorded by the soldiers themselves'
By Tyler Durden: A controversial new bill set to go before Israel's Ministerial Committee for Legislation in the Knesset on Sunday would ban taking videos or photos of Israeli soldiers in the process of arresting or subduing Palestinians.
It's a move that advocacy groups are decrying as an aggressive censorship measure aimed at banning the documentation Israeli soldiers' human rights violations, especially as the U.N. Human Rights Council has opened a formal investigation into accusations that Israeli security forces recently gunned down scores of Palestinian civilians protesting along the Gaza-Israeli border fence.
The legislation, if passed, could result in a punishment of 5 to up to 10 years in prison for merely recording encounters between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians.
The bill reads, “anyone who shoots a video or a photo, or records soldiers while they are doing their job, with the aim of disturbing the morale of soldiers and citizens, will be sentenced to five years imprisonment.
