Stephen Hawking: 100 Years Left For Humans To Escape Earth

Authored by Carey Wedler: On multiple occasions, he has warned of the likelihood that alien species will act like colonialists if they ever visit Earth, likening extraterrestrials’ tendencies to our own human behavior.

“One day we might receive a signal from a planet like this, but we should be wary of answering back. Meeting an advanced civilization could be like Native Americans encountering Columbus. That didn’t turn out so well,” he has said.

Stephen Hawking has also warned that it’s only a matter of time until Earth is destroyed.
“Although the chance of disaster to planet Earth in a given year may be quite low, it adds up over time, and becomes a near certainty in the next 1,000 or 10,000 years,” he said in November.
As a result, he has advocated colonizing both the moon and Mars.

Slavehood 2017

Today we have become all slaves; slaves to the western lie-propaganda; to the lobbies and their giant all dominating corporations.

By Peter Koenig: When in the 18th and 19th Century African slaves did not ‘behave’, they were cruelly beaten sometimes to death as a deterrent for others. They were deprived of food for their families. Their women were raped. They were traded to even harsher white masters. Their lives were worth only what their labor could produce. They were treated as subjects, devoid of human warmth.
Today we have become all slaves; slaves to the powers of mafia bankster of finance; slaves to the western lie-propaganda; to the lobbies and their giant all dominating corporations – to the war-industry, because we happily believe what we are told about ever-increasing terrorism that needs to be fought with eternal wars; slaves to the environment-destructive hydrocarbon industry; to the pharma-industry; to the Monsanto-ized agroindustry; to senseless consumerism – and foremost – and summing it all up: to greed, endless greed that drives endless growth, nurturing endless competition fomenting adversity, destroying solidarity, instead of amical cooperation for a harmonious human cohabitation.

Warning - The New York Times Is Cheering On Censorship Algorithms

By Michael Krieger: The 2016 Presidential election was a gigantic wakeup call for the corporate press in the U.S. not so much because Hillary Clinton lost, but because it represented the end of mainstream media’s ability to seamlessly force feed narratives down the throats of a gullible and pliant American public. The marketplace of ideas had been flooded by the internet and the people made a decision. The media wars came and went, and the corporate press lost, badly.
The election of Donald Trump was as much a middle finger to the U.S. corporate press as anything else, and the corporate media didn’t take too kindly to that. Rather than admit failure, refocus and compete within the freewheeling information age, the corporate media has resorted to endless whining and support for tech-overlord censorship.
It simply knows it can’t win a fair fight, so it has decided to cheat.

Bronze Girl Needs To Go

By Jon Levy: The sculptor of the famous “Charging Bull” statue near Wall Street has called upon the city to remove the new bronze girl from the scene.  The girl, by artist Kristen Visbal, was added on March 7, as a promotion coinciding with International Women’s Day, and was planned to remain only one week, before mayor Bill de Blasio extended her stay for at least a year.
Arturo Di Modica’s Charging Bull is among the most popular pieces of public art in the United States.  Perfectly located on a cobble-stone corner a block from the New York Stock Exchange, it perfectly symbolizes the free market: powerful, wild, and less than tamable.  A perfect match of object, place, and meaning.
Di Modica was inspired by the 1987 stock-market crash to create a symbol of the “strength and power of the American People.”  Working outside the public eye, he spent approximately $350,000 to craft the massive, 7,100 pound, 18 foot long bull.  Secretly, Di Modica staked out a location in downtown Manhattan, even timing out the frequency of police patrols, so he knew how quickly he had to work.  Then, in the early morning hours of December 15, 1989, without any notice to the city, he and a crew trucked the bull into the Manhattan and installed it as a piece of guerilla art.

Who Pulls Ali Abunimah’s Strings?

By Gilad Atzmon: In 2012, Ali Abunimah and twenty-one other Palestinians called for my disavowal. The call was nothing special: the usual set of clumsy accusations that had nothing to do with my work.
At the time, Abunimah and his colleagues were subject to much criticism and denunciation by intellectuals, scholars, activists and various political bodies. Needless to say, the equivalent Jewish solidarity organisations were, on the contrary, only thrilled by the call.     
This week, and five years after the original call for my disavowal, we learn from Jewish ‘anti’- Zionist, Tony Greenstein, that it was he who “engineered” the whole thing.

The question that comes to my mind is, how is it possible that twenty-two Palestinian activists, three of them notable public figures, find themselves “engineered” by the likes of Tony Greenstein, a Jewish ethnic activist regarded by many supporters of Palestine as little more than an Israeli asset?

Truck Of Peace: Antifabulous

SyeTen: Faced with increasingly restrictive "freedom to commit terrorism" regulations, our plucky sexy justice warriors must concoct innovative ways to express themselves. Help is at hand in the form of a Berkley "model" and an Australian "mechanical engineer".

Bill Nye - My Sex Junk Is So Oh No No

This is a trainwreck.

By Jordan Holbrook: Needless to say, I find Rachel Bloom’s direction with this piece to be less than adequate. Here, please, for your leisure, enjoy another slice of evidence showing why I rarely show face on camera.

If I self-identify as intellectually stunted, does that excuse me when I swipe at low hanging fruit?

The Red Pill Latest

By MRA-UK: Cassie Jaye’s ground breaking film about the men’s movement, The Red Pill, is now…

• #4 Best-Selling Documentary DVD on Amazon,
• #3 Documentary on iTunes,
• #1 Documentary on GooglePlay

To-date (4th May 2017) it has won four awards at two film festivals…

• Best Documentary Feature at the Louisiana International Film Festival,
• At the Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema, The Red Pill took the awards for Best of Festival, Excellence in Directing a Documentary, and Excellence in Producing a Documentary.

Successful actions by the usual culprits in stopping TRP being shown at various venues in Australia are being effectively countered by the very publicity which such actions attract – together with the good offices of the likes of Bettina Arndt (see, for example, Mark Latham’s Outsiders).

Mohammad Sabaaneh’s Dangerous Cartoons

By Marguerite Dabaie: Palestinian culture is in itself a dangerous act, a reason to be caged. So suggests a cartoon in a new anthology of work by Mohammad Sabaaneh. The panel [below] shows a group of men and women in traditional dress dancing the folkloric dabke while shackled together. A checkpoint cuts through the line dance, and Israel’s wall stops them short.
Here, the message seems to be, even celebrations are fraught with obstacles brought on by the Israeli occupation.
White and Black: Political Cartoons from Palestine, published by Just World Books, offers a rare opportunity for English-language readers to become familiar with Sabaaneh’s stark black and white images, printed in newspapers across the Arab world.

The Sam Bee Challenge

DoctorRandomercam: I'm not recommending anyone else do this. I'd just as rather this ends here. This is like trying to find a needle in an undisclosed amount of vomit.

UK Conservatives Forcing Female Candidates Onto CPs

By Mike Buchanan: There have been persistent rumours that Theresa May is keen to increase the number of female Tory MPs, an assault on meritocracy which would have been unthinkable during Margaret Thatcher’s term as prime minister.
The proportion of Tory MPs who are women already considerably exceeds the proportion of prospective parliamentary candidates (PPCs) who are women. Ms May’s demand for more Tory female MPs is being implemented by Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ), where I worked as a consultant over 2006-8.
A year or two ago Caroline Spelman MP, Conservative party chairman in 2007, admitted during a BBC Radio 4 interview that during her term as chairman, men had outnumbered women as PPC applicants by a ratio of 10:1 – then cynically proceeded to tell her interviewer that the party ‘needed’ more female MPs.
I resigned my party membership in 2009 when David Cameron announced his intention to introduce all-women PPC shortlists for the approaching general election, and set to work on my first feminism-related book, David and Goliatha.
