How Corporate Dark Money Is Taking Power On Both Sides Of The Atlantic

By George Monbiot: It took corporate America a while to warm to Donald Trump. Some of his positions, especially on trade, horrified business leaders. Many of them favoured Ted Cruz or Scott Walker. But once Trump had secured the nomination, the big money began to recognise an unprecedented opportunity.

Trump was prepared not only to promote the cause of corporations in government, but to turn government into a kind of corporation, staffed and run by executives and lobbyists. His incoherence was not a liability, but an opening: his agenda could be shaped. And the dark money network already developed by some American corporations was perfectly positioned to shape it. Dark money is the term used in the US for the funding of organisations involved in political advocacy that are not obliged to disclose where the money comes from. Few people would see a tobacco company as a credible source on public health, or a coal company as a neutral commentator on climate change. In order to advance their political interests, such companies must pay others to speak on their behalf.

Palestinians Sue Trump Adviser, Netanyahu for Terrorism

By Charlotte Silver: A group of US citizens and Palestinian nationals is suing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and key members of US President Donald Trump’s administration for perpetrating and enabling war crimes.

Their lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, alleges a money laundering scheme that involves the US defendants raising charitable donations to send to Israeli government leaders.

Based on the Anti-Terrorism Act and the Alien Torts Statute, the complaint alleges that the Israeli officials use the money to fund settlements and violent extremism in the occupied West Bank, which the complaint identifies as “international terrorism.”

It comes as Netanyahu vowed that Israel would soon build an entirely new settlement in the occupied West Bank. Since Trump took office last month, Israel has announced plans for 6,000 additional settler housing units.

From Byzantine Maiden As Mixture Of Milk And Roses To кровь с молоком

By Author Douglas Galbi: A novel written in Greek verse in Constantinople about 1156 described the beautiful maiden Drosilla:
she seemed a mixture of milk and roses
and it looked as though nature, like a painter,
had coloured her body white and red;
she was astonishing to the girls who danced with her
within the meadow of the temple of Dionysos.
Kleinias, in love with Drosilla, described her similarly:
{Eros} paints you in greater beauty
as he placed his fingers on your mother’s womb,
applying a two-fold colour, milk white and rose red.
O Drosilla, how you burn up Kleinias!
The maiden’s skin color, and implicit sense of her breasts, might have evoked milk white. Her lips or blush, or perhaps her blood or more abstractly her inner vitality and passion, could suggest rose red.

Orwellian UK: Kids Attending Fathers Rights Demos To Be Sent On De-Radicalisation Programs

Children who attend Fathers4Justice and anti-badger cull protests have been considered for the government’s anti-radicalisation programme, Prevent, set up to deter “violent extremism” and terrorism, an MP has claimed.

By Liam Deacon: Conservative MP Lucy Allan said teachers are under increasing pressure to refer children to the Prevent Strategy, for reasons other than radical Islam, to please government inspectors.

She said there had been an “exponential increase” in the number of referrals to Prevent, as teachers “do not want to damage their school’s credibility and its Ofsted reports”, the Shropshire Star reports.

She told MPs: “As a school governor, I have seen the incentive to make referrals under Prevent. If we do not make them, we might feel that we will get into trouble, or that there will be a negative impact on the school or a teacher’s career.

Trump Defends "Killer" Putin On National TV: "We've Got A Lot Of Killers - You Think Our Country's So Innocent?"

By Tyler Durden: In a Fox News interview set to air at 4pm on Sunday, just ahead of the Superbowl, and which is sure to unleash a fresh firestorm of accusations that president Trump is a Kremlin puppet, the US president will defend Vladimir Putin on national TV, saying he respects the Russian leader and accusing the US of not being as innocent as it may seem.

In the interview, Bill O’Reilly asked if Trump respects Russian President Vladimir Putin, to which the he replied, “I do respect him. Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean I’ll get along with them.”
After O’Reilly asks why, Trump answers: "He is the leader of his country. I say it’s better to get along with Russia than not, and if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS – which is a major fight – and the Islamic terrorism all over the world, that’s a good thing. Will I get along with him? I have no idea.”
O'Reilly pressed Trump on his statement, saying, "But he's a killer though. Putin's a killer."

Trump shrugged the comment off, saying: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What, do you think our country is so innocent?”

Naked Ass-Driver & Ass From Octavian To Byzantium In 1204

By Author Douglas Galbi: Octavian’s naval forces confronted those of Cleopatra and her beloved Marc Antony at the Battle of Actium in 31 BGC. Octavian, who became Caesar Augustus, won a decisive victory. He then erected a spectacular victory memorial at the site of his pre-battle camp in Actium. The campsite memorial displayed thirty-six massive bronze rams from warships that Octavian captured from Antony and Cleopatra. The memorial also displayed statues of a naked, ithyphallic ass-driver and ass probably cast from melted-down rams.[1] Those statues memorialized a favorable omen that Octavian encountered before the battle. Under-appreciated by modern scholars, the ass-driver and ass statues generated intriguing semiotic problems across more than a millennium of literary history.A naked man and an erect penis were common features of public art late in the Roman Republic. After his victory in the Battle of Naulochus in 36 BGC, Octavian had a bronze, nude statue of himself set up in the Roman forum near the speaker’s platform.[2] A statue known at the Tusculum Octavian, which was probably made shortly before the battle of Actium, also shows Octavian nude. These statues show a young, muscular male body. Such portraiture was associated with heroic, godlike figures, particularly Alexander the Great.

My Jewish Past

"In Jewish circles it's considered a shame for a Jew to have to live in a mixed neighbourhood of blacks and whites due to a low income. In spite of their enlightened ways in closed circles Jews call blacks shvartzahs and shooks and for all their support of black lives matter, they wouldn't be caught dead living under the same roof as one of it's members. I grew up with this kind of racism, believe me, Jews are the biggest racists walking the face of the earth, I grew up with it. They think Jews are smart and gentiles are stupid." Said Nathanael.

332 Child Homicides

By William Collins aka MRA-UK: This is a minor revision to my earlier post “330 Child Homicides”. I have discovered a further serious case review from 2009 which appeared in my rough notes but did not get transcribed to the final post. I have provisionally identified this additional case with a spite killing of two children by a mother reported in “Learning from CAFCASS Individual Management Reviews (IMRs)“, November 2013. This brings the number of cases of spite killings, or ‘family annihilations’, by mothers to 5 (involving 8 children’s deaths) in the period 2009 to 2015, two of which occurred whilst the mother was ‘on contact’ – see Sections 9, 10 and 11.1. In particular the additional case is discussed in Section 10.2. If the additional case is not in fact the spite killing reported in the 2013 CAFCASS report, then there could be 6 such spite killings by mothers in this period. 
Rather than edit the original post, which has been widely copied elsewhere, I have opted for a re-post. Changes from the original are in blue text (mostly Section 10.2 and additional conclusions). The additional case does not significantly affect the overall statistics. Its significance lies in the increasing evidence that the particularly distressing phenomenon of ‘family annihilation’ is not just a male specialty.

Return Of Women-Only Offices Proves That Equality Has Gone Into Reverse

By Martin Daubney: Back in the gender-segregated 1950s, huge armies of women merrily worked in female-only typing pools or garment factories. Men, meanwhile, toiled in coal mines or steel plants, rarely frequented by women, then supped warm beer in working men’s clubs or men-only tap rooms. But then came the Women’s Liberation movement, and these shackles were cast off.
Workplaces were increasingly integrated, and a gender war was declared on men-only spaces. Now, few are left standing.
Sports organisations like the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrew’s have driven their men-only membership policies into the long grass of history. “Outmoded” gent’s clubs like the Garrick are under constant pressure to admit women.
So it seems utterly contradictory that the latest trend – inherited, of course from liberal America – is for “women-only office blocks“.
What’s even more bizarre is that the very same media outlets condemning the men-only spaces are heralding this as a some sort of victory.

Amherst Student Expelled For Sexual Misconduct, Not Allowed To Defend Himself

...it would ‘impose psychological trauma’ on accuser. John Doe says there’s evidence his female accuser assaulted him, but a judge won’t make her co-operate.

By Robby Soave: Remember Amherst College student "John Doe," who was expelled for sexual misconduct, even though he had good reason to believe that his accuser had actually assaulted him? A judge recently blocked Doe's attempt to subpoena his female accuser's text messages on grounds that re-litigating the matter "would impose emotional and psychological trauma" on her.
Consider the implications of this decision. According to Seattle District Judge James Robart, a student who believes Amherst violated his due process rights, wrongfully expelled him, and ignored subsequent evidence that his accuser, "Sandra Jones," was the actual violator of the college's sexual misconduct policies, does not deserve the opportunity to make his case because someone else's feelings are more important.
Whatever happened to believing the victim?
