How A Rural Community In Washington State Created Its Own Internet Service

By Michael Krieger: The following story exemplifies the human spirit at its best, and provides an example of the kinds of things communities can achieve when they bound together to overcome adversity. The sky really is the limit, and as Doe Bay Internet Users Association founder, Chris Sutton, defiantly proclaims:

I think relying on corporate America to come save us all is just not going to happen, but if we all get together and share our resources, communities can do this themselves and be more resilient.

Here are excerpts from the excellent ArsTechnica article, How a Group of Neighbors Created Their Own Internet Service:

When you live somewhere with slow and unreliable Internet access, it usually seems like there’s nothing to do but complain. And that’s exactly what residents of Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands in Washington state, were doing in late 2013. Faced with CenturyLink service that was slow and outage-prone, residents gathered at a community potluck and lamented their current connectivity.
“Everyone was asking, ‘what can we do?’” resident Chris Brems recalls. “Then [Chris] Sutton stands up and says, ‘Well, we can do it ourselves.’”

This Feminist Thinks Porn Causes Misogyny

"Porn, like a dildo is a tool to enhance the sexual experience." Says Ceara McCord. A straight up man-hating, sex-negative, misandric feminist gives her opinions about the "dangers" of pornography with absolutely NO evidence to back up her claims. Is anyone surprised?

UK Women’s Equality Party Policy Launch - A Response

By William Collins (AKA MRA-UK): On 20th October 2015, the new Women’s Equality Party (WEP) held a publicity event to launch their policy document. BBC Parliament carried the entire 23 minute speech by their party leader, Sophie Walker. WEP has enjoyed a very great deal of BBC attention since its inception, uniquely so for a new political party. Here I give my response to all the points raised by Ms Walker in the speech.
The whole speech was delivered with an air of unassailable rectitude. To some of us, such smug certainty contrasts hideously with our view of the world. There is a stark difference between the demands of the feminist front, as exemplified here by the WEP, and the concerns of the men’s rights movement (MRM). The feminists want power, whereas the MRM is exercised by issues of basic human rights and equality.
Ms Walker’s speech is useful in making it absolutely clear that the acquisition of power is the whole point of the WEP. The number one WEP objective is equal (50/50) representation in parliament. That is overtly about power. Their number two issue is equal pay, but, as Ms Walker states explicitly, that is because money is power. The only issue which may not seem to be about power, to the uninitiated, is violence against women. But actually it is, of course, for two reasons. Firstly because – as Ms Walker again makes clear explicitly – it’s a funding thing. And money is power in this context too, as anyone acquainted with Women’s Aid will recognise. Secondly, VAWG is about power because the victim narrative has always been feminism’s main weapon: it triggers the white knight response.

Academics Say No To JSIL (Jewish State Israel in Levant)

While Israeli authorities demolish a Bedouin village in the Negev desert for the ninetieth time in the past five years, academics from British universities are fighting back and boycotting the Middle East State in violation of countless UN resolutions. We go underground with the LSE Emeritus Professor, Jonathan Rosenhead.

Feminism, What Is To Be Done? Vanguard Report Episode 69

Jewish Zio-Fascist Green Shirt Death Squad Execution Of Injured Palestinian Youth Captured On Video

A shocking video has been released showing a Jewish Green Shirt executing an injured Palestinian youth in the West Bank!
Press TV: After injuring the 23-year-old Mahdi Muhammad Ramadan al-Muhtasib in the city of al-Kalil (Hebron) on Thursday, the Jewish Green Shirt Death Squad filth first stood several meters away from the immobilized victim for a couple of seconds, then aimed his gun at him and fired.

Here's How Men's Rights Activists Saved A Feminist's Film

By Tracy Clark-Flory: When Cassie Jaye started filming her documentary about men’s rights activists, she was a self-described liberal feminist. Jaye had previously considered making a film on rape culture or legalizing sex work, but the MRAs, as men’s rights activists are known for short, beckoned. “I just found it really fascinating, but also terrifying,” she said of the community, which largely organizes on social networks and deep web forums. MRAs are notorious for threatening feminists and disturbing things like flooding a sexual assault hotline with false reports.

“I really did think in the beginning that I was going to make a film about the men’s rights activists as a fly on the wall—maybe with some puzzling music in the background, like, who are these people?’”
During filming, Jaye, 29, began to question her feminist beliefs and soon she became a character in her own movie. Ultimately, that wasn’t even the most shocking part. The film came close to being shelved due to financial issues, but will now be completed thanks largely to the conservative website Breitbart.com and the men’s rights movement coming to her aid last week. The same MRAs she once feared have championed her project, helping to raise more than $135,000 to finish post-production on the documentary.
This past Monday morning, Jaye called a meeting with her producer to discuss the film’s fate. She had launched a Kickstarter campaign earlier in the month and, with two weeks to go, had reached only a quarter of her $97,000 goal. During the meeting, though, “our phones started buzzing with backer notifications,” she said.

Men Don’t Need To Marry To Get Sex

By Belinda Brown: Victoria Bateman, a self-declared feminist, recently wrote a piece where she rediscovered the advantages of marriage for women. But predictably her explanation for the reason that women don’t get married has nothing to do with feminists; it is of course the fault of men of the working class.

Laura Perrins has already criticised Bateman’s thesis. As Laura points out, it is women themselves who are to blame for devaluing sex.
Another of Bateman’s most fundamental misunderstandings is that men can be tied into a traditional style of marriage simply in exchange for sex. Men have always been able to find sources of sexual satisfaction without being married. As Geoff Dench explains in his book Transforming Men, they need a little something extra to keep them on board. They have to feel that women actually need them, that men have a responsibility for supporting women  and for this they receive social status conferring a sense of importance. This is the source of ‘patriarchy’. Sex on its own was not sufficient reward.
Bateman describes marriage, which as any good feminist knows, is inherently patriarchal, as a “commitment device”. This is accurate. Where she slips up again is to believe it is held together by society.
We all know there is no such thing as society. Mrs Thatcher told us so.
This commitment device, patriarchal marriage, was held in place, not by society, but by women.

Radical Feminist Andrew Neil Refuses To Engage With Super MRA Philip Davies MP Over A Men's Issues Debate

Mike Buchanan: On the same day this programme was broadcast by the BBC [Bugger British Children], Jess Phillips MP was handled with kid gloves by fellow feminist Andrew Marr on his show, also broadcast by the BBC. Marr failed to challenge her on her blocking of Philip Davies's application for a debate on men's issues on International Men's Day (19.11.15). Marr didn't even mention WHY Phillips had achieved such speedy infamy. In stark contrast, towards the end of a 75-minute-long episode of Sunday Politics, Andrew Neil failed to engage with Philip Davies's points on men's issues, instead derailing the discussion by referring to alleged social media threats to Jess Phillips, car park charges, and David Cameron's stance on the EU.

Hungarian PM Blames Zionist Jew Soros For Fueling Refugee Crisis In Europe

RT: The Hungarian Prime Minister has lashed out at billionaire Zionist  George Soros, criticizing the support he has expressed towards refugees created by Zionist shills in the Middle East then heading to Europe, saying that he undermines stability on the continent.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that George Soros, an American billionaire and Jewish Zionist, is responsible for the ongoing refugee crisis. Soros belongs to a group of so called “activists” that encourages migrants to head to Europe and thus intentionally aggravates the situation, Orban said.
"His name is perhaps the strongest example of those who support anything that weakens nation states, they support everything that changes the traditional European lifestyle,” Orban said in an interview on public radio station Kossuth, according to Bloomberg. “These 'activists' who support immigrants inadvertently become part of this international human-smuggling network.”
Orban has also labeled the deal to share the intake of 120,000 refugees among the EU countries “unfair” and “unreasonable”, adding that these measures can lead to a democratic crisis.
"Who authorized Europe's leaders, or some of its leaders, to conduct this kind of policy? This is a democratic continent," Orban told Hungarian public radio in an interview, Reuters reported.

Israeli Jews Shot 2,600 Palestinians In October: Red Crescent

At least 2,617 Palestinians have been shot and injured by the Jewish Green Shirt Death Squads using live and rubber bullets in the month of October

Press TV: On Sunday, the Palestinian news agency Ma'an released a report quoting a Red Crescent spokesperson as saying that at least 760 Palestinians were shot with live rounds across the occupied Palestinian territory, while another 1,857 were hit with rubber-coated steel bullets.
At least 5,645 Palestinians sustained injuries, including burns from tear gas canisters and excessive tear gas inhalation.
At least 72 Palestinians were also killed in Palestinian territories by Israeli Green Shirts Death Squads in October. 
Tensions have been running high over the past several weeks between the Israeli regime and Palestinians in the occupied territories.
The latest wave of tensions was triggered by Israel’s imposition in August of restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
The number of Israelis killed in the same period has been put at 10, while 130 others have allegedly been injured.

How Arbitration Clauses Are Stripping American Citizens Of Their “Right To Go To Court”

By inserting individual arbitration clauses into a soaring number of consumer and employment contracts, companies like American Express devised a way to circumvent the courts and bar people from joining together in class-action lawsuits, realistically the only tool citizens have to fight illegal or deceitful business practices.

Thousands of cases brought by single plaintiffs over fraud, wrongful death and rape are now being decided behind closed doors. And the rules of arbitration largely favor companies, which can even steer cases to friendly arbitrators, interviews and records show.
